“We keep it dry”
It was a visual shock this past week when the shíshálh Nation clearcut the trees on a large parcel adjacent to Sechelt Hospital. It was done, the Nation said in a release, because of the fire risk posed by an encampment of homeless people, who left fires unattended. “I can appreciate the challenges of the homeless people,” said Chief Warren Paull. “But we were forced to find a solution to this potential fire issue because the greater community was at risk.” Sechelt Fire Chief Trevor Pike said he discussed with the Nation other options – such as clearing out underbrush and trimming trees up eight or 10 feet – but “I stand behind their decision 100 per cent.” Pike said the fire department was called out 10 to 12 times a year to deal with fires there, mostly in the summer, and the calls had been increasing. If a forest fire ever got going, he said, it would be very dangerous and difficult to extinguish, with both the hospital and a hydro substation adjacent. While the current state of the parcel is visually “not pleasing”, Pike said the Nation is expected to eventually develop the plot. In its release, the Nation said there are currently no plans for the lot. SUSAN ATTIANA PHOTO

The Local - Thursday, September 12, 2019 3
Reclaiming water from sewage Sechelt has applied for two grants from the provincial government in its efforts to use reclaimed water from its sewage treatment plant, or Water Resource Centre (WRC). If successful, it will receive $10,000 to study water conservation and the feasibility of reclaimed water re-use. Each $5,000 grant requires the District to contribute the same amount. Decisions on grant awards are anticipated within a month. At the Sept. 4 council meeting, Mayor Darnelda Siegers announced that the applications were submitted in July. Council provided staff with approval to apply for the province’s Infrastructure Planning Grant Program and ratified the decision in public after the fact. Sechelt began drafting a Water Conservation Action Plan in 2015. Public engagement sessions were held and a discussion document was produced, but the plan was never completed. 2015 also marked the end of District explorations on re-using the water reclaimed from wastewater at the sewage plant. Following the November 2014 local government elections, the new
council put consideration of the investments needed to distribute reclaimed water on hold. The reason given was that no market for the product had been confirmed. Sechelt’s vision for reclaiming resources from wastewater came forward with the election of Mayor John Henderson and Siegers (as a councillor) in November 2011. That council approved building the WRC on Surf Circle at a cost of $24.9 million. The selection of the WRC location, adjacent to the Sechelt Marsh and in a residential neighbourhood was controversial within the community. The construction displaced the District’s parks and public works’ operations. These were moved to temporary facilities on Dusty Road. Sechelt continues to debate building of a permanent structure to house these operations and about 20 employees more than six years later. The WRC was commissioned in early 2015. It has been awarded seven major design and environmental awards. The effluent the WRC discharges into Trail Bay contains one tenth the
suspended solids of Sechelt’s previous sewage treatment system. The facility extracts biosolids and re-use quality water from the wastewater it treats. The community has seen little benefit from either product. Reclaimed water is used within the facility for equipment cleaning and in toilets. The District pays Salish Soils to take the biosolids for composting. Salish is not marketing or distributing products containing biosolids, pending further refinements and testing of their processes. In the District’s first fiveyear capital plan under Mayor Siegers, it plans to spend $1.5M for a reclaimed water project in 2023. The feasibility study funding that has been applied for would help the District detail the treatment required for different potential uses of reclaimed water. Infrastructure would be needed to move reclaimed water to reuse sites or customers. Staff have confirmed that water line crossings under Trail Avenue in the area of the WRC are part of the reconstruction of that roadway. Connie Jordison

Gibsons aquarium gets $100K change, announced up to $100,000 for Gibsons Marine Education Centre, through the Climate Action Fund. The funding will help the centre educate thousands of people, from kids to local business leaders, through workshops, special events, and education programs. The centre will use a blend of scientific and traditional knowledge to help build an understanding of how climate change is impacting
Canada and how we can all take action to mitigate impacts and build a healthier environment and stronger economy. “The Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre’s vision is to foster an educated community that actively cares for the health of our oceans,” said Graham Starsage, manager and curator of the Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre.

Seawatch break-ins Sunshine Coast RCMP has received complaints of break-ins and are investigating those files in the Seawatch area. This area has been closed and partially fenced off by the District of Sechelt for safety reasons and anyone entering the area is doing so at their own risk. Persons entering the area are putting themselves and po-
lice officers at risk. For these reasons, the RCMP is asking everyone to stay away from the area. Surveillance cameras are in the area and the RCMP are looking through all the security camera and drone footage in an effort to identify the suspects breaking into homes. Any local residents with

Editorial Opinion
Weekly Cartoon
Let eight-year-olds vote Young people have been speaking out for their rights. Many are wise beyond their years. Without the blinkers of ideology, workaday priorities and ingrained values, they can see clearly what’s happening to the planet’s life-support systems. “We have learned that if we don’t start acting for our future, nobody else will make the first move,” a “Guardian” article signed by 46 young people, including 16-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg, said. “I think it’s really difficult to get politicians and legislators to take our voices seriously, especially because they believe that we do not have any voting power,” 15-year-old Lily Gardner of Lexington, Kentucky, told the “Guardian”. What if we gave them that power? A cheeky movement to lower Canada’s voting age from 18 to eight might sound…out there. But I’m not seeing much evidence that adults are any better at making political decisions than young people. So many grown-ups are electing politicians who don’t even accept climate science, let alone the need to treat climate disruption as an emergency. Many governments and politicians around the world seem more beholden to the fading fossil fuel industry than the people they’re supposed to represent. Every reputable scientist in every climate-related discipline, from oceanography to atmospheric physics, is saying we have little time — not much more than a decade, if that — to turn things around, to keep from pumping so many greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that they can’t be re-absorbed or broken down before Earth heats beyond its ability to support human life. The only thing holding us back is lack of political will. Yet many grown-ups are willing to risk that all these scientists and their research are wrong — even though we’d still end up with cleaner air, water and soil and healthier people if we took their advice and it turned out they all somehow missed something. Young people may not always make the best or most informed decisions, but given that their futures are at stake and they understand that change is possible and necessary, I can’t imagine they would make worse decisions than their elders. As adults, we must do all we can to support our youngers. The Friday youth walkouts are expanding to a Global Climate Strike on Sept. 20, kick-starting a week of activities that people of all ages are invited to join, and culminating in another strike on Sept. 27. We should encourage our kids and grandkids to take part and get out there ourselves. Let the children speak, and listen to them. Should we let the kids vote? As the 18to8 campaign says, “Let the future decide the future.” David Suzuki

Letters to the Editor – Opinions In praise of carbon tax Carbon powers our lives. It is also unravelling them. It’s time that each one of us be accountable for how we contribute to this existential problem. A carbon tax is no silver bullet solution but if it’s ambitious and fair, we’d be wise to embrace it now, while it still has the ability to assist us in changing the lethal direction we’re heading in. Tax is the service charge we pay for living in a democracy. Challenge your friends and family when they whine about it. It is how we pay for stuff that we all benefit from. And if we pay more for something because of the dangerous climate altering gases it produces, directly or indirectly, our behaviours change – a simple, elegant cause and effect. The “climate go boom”ers – my generation – have had it pretty good overall. Lucky for us, most of us have not lived with the terror and deprivation of war… and the sacrifice which that requires. We’re out of practice when it comes to living with less, doing without, sharing our stuff, or making financial sacrifices when they are needed. But now it’s way time. And we better not whinge or make excuses or point fingers. When I hear opposition to the federal carbon tax I am embarrassed, in large measure because it seems to be coming predominantly from the most “entitled” generation in history – us boomers, many of whose attitudes have been shaped by easy street living, self-interest, tax tantrums and political dogma. As a generation who has been given so much we so need to get over ourselves, embrace the big picture and support the carbon tax. Not convinced?
Then do it for your children and grandchildren. Tim Turner, Gibsons
A war on science (Re “Getting harder to deny”, editorial, the Local, Sept. 5) It’s not enough for David Suzuki that you recycle. Not enough that you walk or cycle to work, that you eat less meat than you once did, and that you read all the climate news. You can do all of the above – more than he does, perhaps – but it’s not enough. He needs you to announce yourself as a believer. It’s not enough that the majority of Canadians are believers. Not enough that our kids are getting Al Gored to death from day one. Not enough that almost everyone is excited by conservation and green technology trends. Not enough that we have a green government likely getting greener. No, you must join the religion. Suzuki should quit playing high priest and wake up to the real challenge facing the climate lobby – communicating climate news in a way that is respectful of scepticism. Suzuki should quit trying to inoculate climate science from scrutiny. It’s so-called scientists like Suzuki – not the so-called deniers – who are waging the real war on science. PJ Reece, Gibsons
Highway envy A provincial government press release issued Aug. 28 is headlined “Highway improvements coming to the Sunshine Coast” and says: “Drivers can look forward to smoother travelling along Highway 101 on the Sunshine Coast as the ministry prepares to resurface a stretch of highway between
Powell River and Lund. ‘We know this improvement to Highway 101 will make travel safer for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, and everyone who relies on this route,’ said Nicholas Simons, MLA for Powell River-Sunshine Coast.” Wow! Great news if you are one of the 287 people who live in Lund and cycle or walk the highway regularly; $2.5million well spent by the ministry of transportation. In the meantime, those of us here on the lower Sunshine Coast have a “Goat Trail” which is unsafe for cyclists and pedestrians as numerous commercial vehicles and cars thunder by regularly. Yet another serious accident in Sechelt Aug. 30 blocked the road causing chaos and disrupting the lives of those caught in the traffic. When will the government spend their money wisely and build us the highway we deserve? Robin Merriott, SC Highway Society
Drive slowly, please There has been a spate of tragic deaths lately on the Sunshine Coast. These deaths have left orphans bereft and at risk of dying slowly of starvation or predation. Even more tragic is the fact that almost all of these losses were preventable. Over the last few weeks, local observers have been horrified to witness the brutal deaths of deer, fawns and a mother bear who had cubs. As members of the dominant species, I feel each and every person who lives here should do our best to protect wildlife. There are two ways we can reduce the risk. The first is the most ob-
vious: slow down while driving. On the Sunshine Coast, nature is all around us. Watch shady areas along the road, especially in early morning and later at dusk. The second is just as simple, but you may have to remind yourself: tell your guests. Let your visitors know they need to allow a bit of extra time to get to the ferry, because animals may move onto the road when – and where – you least expect them to. Even though the number of vacationers visiting our region will settle down now that school has started, wild animals are not settling down at all, because deer mating season is coming. Deer and other creatures are getting ready to mate and bulk up for winter. Some will be more unpredictable. Lower-speed driving makes life safer and more peaceful. Let’s try to keep both people and wildlife alive and injury-free. Deborah Greaves, Gibsons

Sechelt market gets a rent increase The Sechelt Farmers and Artisans Market secured an agreement to keep its current Cowrie Street location for five more years at the Sept. 4 Sechelt council meeting. As of 2020, the Market will pay the District $2,500 each year. This will help offset costs the District incurs to set up for the market, including closing the north end of Cowrie Street to vehicle traffic on Saturdays from April to October. The closures extend from early morning until past 2pm. Councillor Matt McLean proposed keeping the market’s annual fee at the existing level of $1 per year. Council voted in favour of the staff recommended yearly fee of $2,500, with McLean opposed. Mayor Darnelda Siegers said that the new fee recognizes that the market participants are running businesses and will be contributing to the community as such. “We have a lot of businesses downtown that are paying
property taxes, fees and other charges for their stores. The $2,500 fee is a token amount,” said Siegers. Councillor Janice Kuester commented that she felt the market is a great asset for the community and downtown businesses in its current location. The market moved to Cowrie from its former home outside the Raven’s Cry Theatre in 2012. That year, the District invested $15,000 to improve the boulevard and provide electrical outlets to accommodate market operations. The two parties entered into a five-year contract. In 2017, a threeyear contract extension was agreed to. Forty to 60 venders are onsite on a weekly basis. “Our current categories are quite full, but we would be thrilled to find more painters and First Nations artists to join us,” said John Burns, market manager. In a report supporting the agreement renewal, Julie Rogers, Sechelt’s commu-
nications manager, reported that in 2019 the Market will surpass $100,000 in direct economic benefits to the community. These come through support of bursaries to Chatelech High School and the Farmers Market Nutrition Coupon Program. Councillors were asked by audience member Paul Meyer if they had read or considered the advice provided in several traffic studies about the impact of road closures on public access to the downtown. Speaking as a citizen and a representative for Trail Bay Properties, Meyer’s concerns related to the traffic tie-ups the market creates for the expanding subdivision to the north, and for businesses in the area. Mayor Siegers acknowledged that the current location does pose some traffic concerns. She also noted that with new road accesses opening in West Sechelt within the next year, some of those issues should be alleviated. Connie Jordison

Opposition to homeless project growing Gibsons council set public hearing dates for affordable housing developments on Shaw and School Roads at its Sept. 3 meeting. A project on Shaw Road that could bring 70 affordable housing apartments and a community facility to the area adjacent to Christenson Village goes to public hearing on Sept. 19. Oct. 8 is slated as the hearing date for the project aimed at housing the homeless at 749 School Road, the old RCMP detachment site. Both events are to be held at High Beam Dreams on Glassford Road, commencing at 6pm. Councillor Aleria Ladwig voted against moving the bylaws related to the School Road supportive housing project forward. She was concerned that it is located adjacent to Gibsons Elementary School. She also questioned why project proponent BC Housing is not paying for the land for its supportive housing project, as it has done in other communities, including
Sechelt. Most people in the capacity audience at the meeting attended to witness how council would deal with the potential project on School Road. Some stated that they wanted to see the locations for the two projects under consideration switched. They suggested putting apartments for seniors and families on School Road and the supportive housing for single people facing homelessness in the less-densely populated and visible site on Shaw. Lesley-Anne Staats, director of planning, reported that the Town had carried out wider than required public engagement and consultation on the School Road project. She noted that recorded public objection to the proposal doubled between the community consultation in April and the public information meeting in July. Of those who commented at the July 24 event, 42 per cent opposed the proposal, 28 percent were in favour and 29
per cent were undecided. Representatives of BC Housing and Rain City Housing, the group that would operate the supportive housing project, were at the meeting. Rain City’s Nick Gaskin reported that of the 40 residents at the Hightide facility in Sechelt, which is similar to the one proposed for Gibsons, staff categorize five individuals as problematic substance users. He said that most of visits to Hightide by first responders are to deal with issues related to mental health or the fragile physical health of elderly residents. The project’s public hearing date was changed from the one recommended by staff, as council supported holding the event on a day other than a Friday – required a delay of almost two weeks. As he called for the vote on hearing scheduling, Mayor Bill Beamish said “the longer we drag this out, the more time there is for negativity to generate.” Connie Jordison

6 The Local - Thursday, September 12, 2019
The Paris Climate Agreement, which was ratified in 2016 by nearly 200 countries including Canada, aims to keep a rise in the average global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Failing to meet that target could be catastrophic. In fact, many scientists believe that a 2-degree rise in the average global temperature would push us past a critical tipping point, where climate change would spin out of control and become irreversible. Stopping warming at 1.5 degrees will require major, sustained global action – by all people, in all places. In other words, it requires action by you and me, right here on the Sunshine Coast. What does that action look like? First, join the climate change movement. Add your
voice to a growing swell of like-minded people that is challenging authorities to act now. Show leadership by taking action locally and organizing events that will communicate, educate or agitate. Support students, both locally and elsewhere, who are demonstrating and taking action on climate issues. Don’t apologize for bold action and words. You can also make personal daily choices. Embrace a zero-waste mentality. Bring your own bags and re-usable containers when shopping or dining out, and refuse to purchase items that are overpackaged. Recycle the packaging you do bring home. Walk, bike, ride share or take the bus as often as possible. Plan to buy an electric vehicle. Purchase locally grown food, locally manufactured goods or recycled items and donate objects you no longer need rather than trashing them. Think carefully about your water use, all year round. Local government also has a role to play. In the Town of
Gibsons, our natural asset management strategy has gained international attention for its ability to reduce infrastructure costs and mitigate the effects of climate change. Later this month, members of Council will attend the 2019 Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference in Vancouver, where we will debate 28 separate resolutions dealing with climate change, including a Call For Action on Global Climate Emergency (B139). This resolution asks all orders of government “to adopt climate emergency motions and to take dramatic steps toward the protection of biodiversity and to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary cause of this climate emergency”. As Mayor, I will support this resolution. It’s time to move beyond studying and discussing climate change and into immediate, local action. Staying on the sidelines simply isn’t an option in this vital battle.
Eastlink Community TV and the local libraries have teamed up to bring you the Childhood Memories project. The project focuses on preserving the childhood play memories of our seniors and passing them on to today’s youth. Spearheading this project is Garfield Pennington, who has devoted his life to study-
ing childhood play: “The greatest gifts we can give the young is to share our stories with them, give them our time, and help them create environments that result in much joy and a truly playful culture.” Eastlink Community TV will be set up at the Sechelt Public Library, Sept. 14 10am-3pm, and at the Gib-
sons Public Library Sept. 21 10am-3pm. Stories recorded at the library sessions will be used to create a 13-episode TV series. For more information or to sign up, contact Brittany Broderson at brittany.broderson@corp.eastlink.ca or 778-462-3005. Submitted

Wondering what goes in your blue recycling bin? Here is a short, easy to remember summary: • Paper and cardboard. • Plastic, paper, cardboard and metal containers that are PACKAGING (yes milk cartons too). If it came with something IN it, then it is packaging and you can put it in the bin. If you bought it to put things in it then it is not considered packaging and it cannot go in your blue bin. • If you paid a deposit on it you can return it for a refund or if it is plastic or tin it can go in the recycling bin. If you are not sure please check the Waste Wizard on our website or the Sechelt Citizen App.
DID YOU KNOW?
Plastic bags can NOT go in your curbside recycling bin? Soft plastics are difficult to sort from the hard plastics and they jam up the sorting machinery. Plastic bags can be taken to Salish Soils for recycling. Even better – take a cloth bag to the store to reduce plastics in our environment.

The beach at McNab Creek will be part of a history boat tour Sept. 21. PHOTO SUBMITTED You can join Gibsons historian Dale Peterson on Sunshine Coast Water Taxi for a special two-hour cruise to McNab Creek on Saturday, Sept. 21 – the only one this year.

a 150-metre walk along a beautiful sandy beach, while admiring breathtaking views up the long McNab valley to massive mountains in the background. At creek itself we will have the opportunity to observe salmon. Many wildlife including bears, eagles, seals and orcas enjoy feeding on salmon so who knows what additional wildlife one may encounter.
The tour returns along the Sound’s islands. Total cost for this 120-minute venture is $65 for one person and $125 for two. The tour departs Sept. 21, 10 am at Gibsons wharf.

SCRD five-year plan The SCRD was to discuss its five-year strategic plan at its board meeting Sept. 12 – 10 months into its mandate. The 2019-2023 plan focuses on five areas:
• Proactively engaging with residents, partners and staff to share information and obtain input on issues and decisions that affect them. Under this priority, the SCRD will
look to enhance external and internal communications, as well as improve its online information. • Ensuring that the SCRD’s assets serve residents now and in the future. Year-round water availability and sus-
tainable solid waste management are cited as key focus areas. • Leading, encouraging and supporting partners and stakeholders to work together to understand and address regional opportunities and
challenges. In this area, the SCRD is committing to enhance First Nations relations and reconciliation. • Moving swiftly to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the region’s resiliency to the effects of
a changing climate. This will involve developing a climate change adaptation strategy. • Advancing as a collective voice to represent the interests of the region with the provincial and federal governments and others responsible for governance and services in our region. Specific issues listed include transportation, childcare, housing and marine protection. Development of the plan began in January. B. D. Carruthers and Associates of Ladysmith lead the process which included an organizational assessment and two facilitated workshops with the board. The final draft of the plan is on SCRD.ca, under the Sept. 12 board agenda. Connie Jordison

Each year, an average of 40 to 50 volunteers help clean up a different area of the Sunshine Coast. Sign-in begins at 11am at the Seaside Centre in Sechelt. Volunteers are treated to a free BBQ lunch and have a chance to win great prizes. To pre-register, email infrastructure@scrd.ca or phone 604-885-6806.

The fifth annual Wood Expo takes place Saturday, Sept. 14 at the Seaside Centre in Sechelt. The Wood Expo is intended to showcase wood – its multitude of uses and the diversity of wares being produced by local woodworkers. The Expo has seen a 140 per cent increase in the number of visitors since its inaugural show, with last year’s attendance pegged at 1,200 people, an
impressive number for a one day show. This year’s attendance is sure to equal, if not surpass those numbers, with a total of 25 exhibiting vendors, seven of them showing for the first time. On display will be everything from treenware (household utensils made of wood), chessboards, bowls, cedar woven hats and baskets, and of course furniture. Joerg Englemann, a first-time exhibitor, will be showing the unique works he creates through a process called fractal burning. An electrically conductive solution is applied to the wood and then high voltage electricity passes through it

using two probes. The wood is burned in interesting patterns as the electricity passes from one probe to the other creating a lightning or tree-like image. Among the returning vendors is Rick Crook of Oyster Bay Boats in Madeira Park. He will have his newest boat, a sliding seat wherry, a type of rowboat, that Crook re-designed using the cedar strip technique. Crook was an auto parts salesman and didn’t become a boat builder until he wanted a canoe light enough to carry himself. He found plans for the “Wee Lassie,” ordered them, and built himself a 30lb
canoe. That was 20 years ago. Now his “hobby gone wrong” has Crook building beautiful, lightweight boats for customers as far away as Germany. “I don’t know how he found me,” says Crook of his German customer. “The guy walked down my driveway one day and said ‘Hi, is this Oyster Bay Boats?’” The man, his wife, and daughter tried the row boats and the canoes Crook had available and loved them. “He ordered two canoes and paid to have them shipped to Germany,” recalls Crook, still amazed by the experience. Crook uses cedar bought
The Local - Thursday, September 12, 2019 11
locally to produce the strips for his boats, and fiberglass and plant based epoxy to waterproof the boats, and coats them with a UV protective finish. They take about two and half months to build and Crook says his boats are very low maintenance. “I built a boat for a friend who uses it as a summertime boat and stores it indoors over the winter,” he says. “It was built 15 years ago and it’s never been re-varnished.” He used to build his boats only to order, but “I like building the sliding seat boat so I’m just building them and I’ve
sold every one of them on Craigslist,” he says. “There are people who are looking for that boat and when they see it they want it.” Crook is looking forward to another year at the Wood Expo. “I love it,” he says. “I think it’s important for people to see products made out of local wood by local people. I think it connects people to the resource that we have here.” The fifth annual Wood Expo takes place Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10am to 5pm at the Seaside Centre in Sechelt. Free admission. All welcome.

It is that time of year again; RCMSAR Stations on the Sunshine Coast are recruiting. Being a member of RCMSAR is one of the most rewarding unpaid jobs there is. You will be part of a dedicated, professional team carrying on a proud 150-year tradition of volunteer lifeboats in British Columbia. By joining us, you will save lives. Our training program is designed to match your interests, skills, and availability. Positions range from active search and rescue crew to shore-based SAR prevention, maintenance, administration, fundraising, society directors and event co-ordinators. Please join us at the Seaside Centre in Sechelt on September the 16 for our recruitment night; drop in and see what we are all about. Doors open at 5:30pm and close at 7:30pm. Crews have been busy this summer training and helping those in need. Here are some quick Station 12 stats to date: 22 missions, 1,012 total hours, 35 active members
and 269 hours training. Being an active search and rescue crew member is an exciting, challenging and rewarding role, but it is not for everyone. You will be paged in the middle of the night and respond to emergencies in weather and sea conditions that most mariners avoid.

It was “sunny ways” for the Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Association (SCDRA) this past weekend as the club celebrated their 20th anniversary of drag racing Sept. 7 at the Sechelt Airport. After having to cancel the Aug. 11 event due to rain, race organizers were thrilled with the attendance of 650 race fans – and the weather. The burnout competition proved to be popular, with six drivers volunteering to have some fun and basically fry a set of tires. First to line up was Keith Tucker (1978 Malibu), followed by Tyler Muryn (1988 Mustang), Cory Saunders (1991 Mustang), Mike Vanderlinden (1969 Mustang), Nic Chabot (1979 Chevy C-10) and Norm Robertson (1979 F100). With all drivers required
to keep their vehicles in the burnout box, Keith Tucker took full advantage to wear a relatively fresh set of tires down to the cords. Each of the remaining drivers put on a big show for the spectators gathered along the barrier, and burn box superintendent and judge Ron Berg. It didn’t take long for Berg to signal the driver which best met his burnout criteria: Keith Tucker was the winner. For the 64 race car and motorcycle participants, conditions for the day were perfect: an early start to racing, slightly cooler weather and even a bit of moisture mid-afternoon. Scott Bolder took the honours in Street Machine, Tom Sealy won Super Street, Levi Stanley– Clarke won Street Rod and Al Crane received the win in Hot Rod.
During the awards presentations, the Vic Dubois Memorial Award was presented to a member of the SCDRA who volunteers and demonstrates continued dedication to the club and community. The 2019 award went to David Timmins. David who doesn’t drag race assists with facility set-up and works in the staging lanes during race events. When he’s not helping at events he’s on the computer designing the event posters and taking care of other graphic projects for the club. This year David designed and coordinated the production of the SCDRA 20th anniversary t-shirts. For more information about the SCDRA contact Richard at cnaustin@telus. net or 604-230-5067.

Tip of the Week: The Pisces Full Moon is the big astrological news now, yet is not the only major headline. The Jupiter/ Neptune alignment forming the third of three exact hard squares is the other. The Harvest Moon occurs on September 14 at 12:33 am EDT and is a powerful one because the Sun and Mars are closely aligned with Mercury and Venus, which are exactly aligned at 29 Virgo - the critical degree, which represents themes of ‘overcoming’. Opposing these is the Moon closely aligned with Neptune, which will prove to inflate imaginations and ideals and/or delusions and self-deceptions, which is also a common expression of Neptune. We each must decide which is fact and which is fantasy and assuming that there will ever be a total consensus is also idealistic. The fact that these already powerful alignments are in opposition and both forming a close square to Jupiter is where the real potency is pointed. Gain more insight about it Here (or email me for the link sunstarastrology@gmail.com ). Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) You are determined to see a bigger picture or wider perspective on your current reality. Yet, you also feel compelled to pay attention to the finer details. You probably have creative plans that you are determined to realize. These may already be well in motion, but there are more layers
enter more fully into the next ones. Talk about creative power! Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22) The stellium of planets in your sign is sure to be making a strong impact on your focus. They represent the impulse to take new leads. These can be traced back to the New Moon a couple of weeks ago, anyway. Yet, now they have arrived at a time of realization. The question is: are you realizing your ideals, or are you seeing how you have been… overly idealistic? Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) Can you get a lot done while you step out of sight to retreat? Of course, you can and you are proving it to be true right now. In fact, there are indications that you are multi-tasking. Positively, you are getting more done in a short stretch than you did over months. On the other hand, you may feel stretched and scattered. Prioritize! Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21) Making amends, improvements and literally focusing to heal on relationship fronts is a top priority now. In all respects, diplomacy is a must. Half of you wants to proceed this way, while the other half is reticent. Ever concerned about showing weakness or vulnerability or giving away power, you may again feel unsure of how to best proceed. The answer is to give more. Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21) This is a big time for you. It reveals a big push forward. This is not to say it is or is meant to be easy. In fact, it implies a good deal of work. The efforts include gathering new tools and learning new skills. Yet, these all come with an attitude of ‘slow but sure’. One

Overnight on Sept. 3, a Coast resident reported an attempted theft from his vehicle parked in the 11500 block of Highway 101, Madeira Park, after finding the tailgate latch and rear bumper damaged. Upon further inspection, police determined that a bear that scratched and bitten the tail gate and lock, likely attracted by the scent of the prawn bait that had been stored in the vehicle earlier. Submitted by RCMP
of the challenges is that the slow part may be overemphasized. Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 19) The theme of seeing a bigger picture yet paying attention to the details continues. Capricorn being the crusty sort of sign that it is, in terms of discipline and protocol, tends to like the nitty-gritty regarding the details. So, that’s in your favor. What is important now is that you dig deep to access hidden reserves of faith, in your power to persevere. Aquarius (Jan 20–Feb 19) Virgo time tends to plunge you deep into an emotional abyss, of sorts. Although it is pretty deep, there is a solid bottom, down there. When you do reach the bottom, be sure to push hard to rise to the surface again. The overall process is actually linked to health. Diet being a core feature of health is naturally emphasized, as are cleanses. Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20) Your relationship sector

and now is the time to execute the next major phase. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) An interesting blend of creativity, play, power drive, and sober thinking are all gathered in your mind. Actually, this is generally true for you. Yet, now they are extra strong and will not be dismissed. Engaging the attention and support of other key players, especially those in positions of power and authority, is squarely on your mind. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) What or who is rocking your world? Or, is it you? Some big moving and shaking has entered the scene one way or another. The results are also gaining the attention of others, partially because you are determined for them to know. At worst, you feel critical and cynical. Positively, you are downloading a whole host of ideas to make needed improvements. Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22) Your energy levels are running high and these are contributing to your sharp focus and pointed thought. The issue now stands to be too much thinking, as in ‘over-analysis-paralysis’. Well, that is one way of saying it and the other is that you are worrying too much. While looking to the future and making plans and setting intentions are great, being fully presentin-the-moment is greater. Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23) A steady process of making needed improvements in your life continues. You are in a very creative cycle and have been for some months. Yet, you are now excited and determined to push through. This includes bringing certain phases to completion so that you can
