early forty sculptors from and far Weathertight lugnear 1035 worked all morning and part of the afternoon on the Davis Bay tidal flats to bring their ideas to life. Everything from spiritual influences, classic castles, sea life and land animals graced the tidal seabed in the form of sand sculptures.

“People come and don’t realize it takes a lot of work - all day,” Bob H. told The Local Weekly news reporter, “there’s some really ingenious things made, and every year it gets better and better.”

Hundreds enjoyed the Aug.creations, 30, 2012 while volunteers ensured the contest was well organized. Nature gave lots of good wet sand for the sculptors to work with, and then the tide rushed in to cool off the crowds and reclaim the beach.

Musicians from the Creek Big Band showed off their fabulous talents at Mission Point Park stage with a selection of finger-snapping jazz tunes to keep the festive spirit ringing throughout the afternoon. The judges were challenged to pick from the myriad great entries that were announced by Sechelt mayor, John Henderson, who was helped in handing out the medals.

Hailing the success of the Mind the Gap program, Member of Parliament for West Vancouver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country, John Weston came to congratulate, Mind the Gap program director, Stacia Leech and to talk with her about the Health Canadasupported initiative.

Weston began by clarifying what the “Gaps” in the program name, Mind the Gap (MTG) are referring to: moving between elementary and high school, and then the gap between high school and postsecondary training, along with other common hazards for youth.

hrough a stellar effort from community and local government, the Davis Bay Wharf will reopen on Thursday July 17, at 3:30. The public along with donors and dignitaries are invited to celebrate the Sechelt area landmark’s official reopening on the Wharf with music, refreshments and speakers. Shuttle buses will be leaving from Sechelt recreation centre/municipal offices at Cowrie Street and Ocean Ave., and returning there after the festivities.

Originally built by the Government of Canada in 1922-23, the Wharf has been a great attraction and asset for Sunshine Coast residents and tourists for nearly a century.

A great place to view and photograph the coastline, the pier reaches over water deep enough for swimming, fishing and crabbing, and is a super destination when you’re strolling the seawall in Davis Bay. District of Sechelt announced funding for the project in January 21 of this year, toward a budget of $600,000 for the project, and within a few months, construction got started on replacing the ageing structure.

Davis Bay Wharf will re-open on Thursday July 17, at 2:30.

Everyone is welcome to celebrate the Sechelt area landmark’s official reopening on the Wharf with music, refreshments and speakers.

Funding is being provided by a variety of sources including $100,000 from the District of Sechelt’s 2013/2014 budget with contributions from the Sunshine Coast Community Forest Legacy Fund, and a $150,000 grant from the Island Coastal Economic Trust.

“And of course there was community fund raising by the Davis Bay Wharf Rats,” Connie Jordison of District offices said, “This was both corporate donations and purchase of planks by both individuals and groups.”

Local community associations banded together as well, to find ways to help finance the project.

The Wharf Rats are a

group comprised of the Davis Bay – Wilson Creek – Selma Park Community Association, Davis Bay Parkway Society and the District of Sechelt, who committed to raising $50,000, no small task. The remaining $300,000 still needs to be raised by the Wharf Restoration Major Gifts Appeal, which is asking area residents, groups and businesses to consider making donations.

“All gifts over $5,000 will be recognized with their name on a commemorative plaque which will be permanently erected in the entrance area to The Wharf,” the restoration website explains.

Water system, reservoir and aquifer update From the Town of Gibsons press release, July 10, 2014 AQUIFER WATER: Emergency Chlorination was installed at Well #1 (Winn Road and Gower Point) last week allowing us to switch properties in Zone 1 back to Aquifer water. We have now completed the installation of emergency chlorination equipment at Well 3 (in Dougall Park). As of 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 10, 2014 Zone 2 was off SCRD water and back on aquifer water, which is currently being chlorinated. You may experience fluctuations in chlorine levels in your water

now playing

Davis Bay wharf to reopen July 17

as we calibrate the chlorination equipment; please bear with us and thank you.

STAGE 3 RESTRICTIONS: Although we have moved all properties in Zone 1 and 2 back on to Aquifer Water we are only using two of the Town’s three production wells.

Well 4 remains offline until Vancouver Coastal Health has determined how much longer Zone 1 and 2 water need to be chlorinated. For this reason it is very important that we follow Stage 3 Water Restrictions to ensure we can meet the demand for drinking water. We re-

ally appreciate your patience and cooperation with this.

RESERVOIR INSPECTION: Inspection on the Parkland Reservoir has been completed with no obvious signs of the source of the contamination found.

Minor improvements have been made and disinfection was finished on Thursday, July 10, in preparation for refilling. We anticipate the reservoir will be filled

by Saturday or Sunday at which point final bacteria testing will be conducted.

Subject to satisfactory test results the reservoir will be brought back into service.

Editorial Opinion Volunteers make vibrant communities

O

ur communities, and their capacity to generate relief or good times, is most often thanks to volunteers who dare to get involved in local projects and events, and who pitch in hours of planning, elbow grease and know-how to worthwhile events, services and projects.

Without volunteers we would not have nearly the quality of life here that we enjoy, and we could kiss goodbye to our festivals, land and sea races, and other activities that keep our Sunshine Coast communities vibrant.

Locally one can choose from a number of causes and groups that need our helping hands, brains and enthusiasm.

One such organization is the food bank. A Coast Food Bank worker said there are 25 regular volunteers doing various essential tasks for their cause, and who donate anywhere from one to five hours a week.

“We couldn’t operate without volunteers,” Food Bank coordinator, Dale Sankie said, “They are here seven days a week ensuring that food donations are picked up, sorted and distributed.”

One of these helpers has had a long-time affinity for helping non-profit groups.

“I was a volunteer fire-fighter for twenty years,” Lynn Morgan explained, “so volunteering is part of what I like to do as part of giving back to the community.”

Newly replanted on the Sunshine Coast in 2012, she gives four hours a week to the food bank and another six hours of service per week to the Community Treasures thrift store in Gibsons.

“I have met some wonderful people, and it certainly enriches ones life,” Morgan noted. She added that the food bank and thrift store can always use more helpers.

The Sunshine Coast Community Services Society runs an important hub for matching volunteers with groups that need volunteers, notes SC Volunteer Centre Manager, Naomi Fleschhut.

“We provide a service to community groups in helping them advertise for and recruit volunteers,” she noted.

One place you can visit them is at the Seaside Centre building (shared with the visitor centre) from 10-4 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Fleschhut said to watch for workshops sponsored by the Centre, including one this fall on how technology can help bring volunteers and organizations together.

And we are more the richer; especially when we get involved, when we make connections by getting out in our communities, and “pay it forward” to reap the collective rewards. The SCCSS volunteer website is www.scvolunteer. com and info on volunteering at the food bank is available by e-mail at scfoodbank@sccss.ca or by phone at 605-885-5881.

Great things to do in Sechelt John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt

W

hile Sechelt is a great place to live or visit at any time of the year, there’s no doubt that the summer is especially spectacular. With the flowers in bloom and the bright blue skies, Sechelt is a fun place to enjoy a wide variety of activities.

For example, I encourage everyone to visit the Davis Bay Wharf this summer to see the many improvements that have been made recently. (And, if you’re reading this early enough, join us at 3:30 on July 17 for the official re-opening!)

Something people often forget is the spectacular Sechelt Inlet – an amazing waterway with opportunities to enjoy sailing, fishing, kayaking and swimming.

Downtown, on Saturdays, the Sechelt Farmers and Artisans Market runs from 9 am to 2:30pm, in the 5800 block of Cowrie Street. Sechelt has added to the fun of the market with a Summer Music Series on the lawn of District Office (adjacent to the Market location). The series features performances by local and visiting artists at 12:30pm and 7pm. Bring your lawn chairs or beach blankets and enjoy!

You are also in the commercial core of our community with a wide variety of retailers, restaurants, and tourism services to enjoy.

Need help finding something? Head to the Sechelt Visitors Information Centre, which is located in the Seaside Centre (5790 Teredo Street) just across the parking lot for the Summer Music Series venue!

Up for a game of golf?

The Sechelt Golf & Country Club have made signifi-

cant upgrades to the golf course – it’s never looked better! The restaurant is open and the views remain breathtaking.

August brings two big events that Sechelt has become famous for. The Coasters Car Club 19th Annual Sleep Hollow Run and Show ‘n’ Shine are on August 8 and 9. And the world famous 32nd Annual Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts follows from August 14 to 17.

From arts and culture, to sports and tourist activities, you will find it all in Sechelt this summer!

Also, a big thanks to Johanna and Aldo Tacchi and their team of volunteers for stepping up to organize last weekend’s sandcastle competition. It was the biggest and most successful event, by far – with well over 1,000 people attending and admiring the work of almost 40 teams of sandcastle creators!

RAC SAR keep boaters safe A

major help and resource for our boating residents and visitors is the Sunshine Coast division of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue or RAC-SAR. You may see them at local docks and marinas or out on the waves doing SAR prevention, as they perform courtesy pleasure craft checks and on the water safety checks.

Perhaps you’ve seen them in the Sechelt Canada Parade or at the Halfmoon Bay Country Fair as they came to promote water safety for kids with “Bobby” their safety mascot, who robotically “floats” about and sprays water.

And most of their crews still hold down day jobs while giving communities and boaters a lifeline.

“We’re an all volunteer organization,” notes communications director, Rob Duffus, “with over 1000 volunteers up and down the Coast and in the Interior as well.”

Duffus explained they have 42 stations up and down the B.C. Coast including stations in Gibsons, Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour, with crews who engage in search and rescue on emergency calls.

“We actually handle about a third of all the search and rescue calls in B.C. - that’s about 800 missions a year, so we’re very active,” the communications director emphasized.

“All the stations are on call 24/7, 365 days a year,” Duffus explains, “the crews are on rotations, be it weekends or

certain week days, whatever works for their lifestyle, but they spend a lot of time on call – they’re very dedicated.”

And they can’t go to search for or rescue people in emergency situations without sturdy rescue equipment and vessels. And for that they require some help from a few different sources.

“We rely on public support in communities like the Sunshine Coast, we also are supported by the provincial government’s gaming grants, which largely goes to the purchase of vessels and equipment,” RAC SAR’s spokesperson explained, “and we get some funding from the Canadian Coast Guard for training and missions.”

He added they are actively fund raising for their new regional training centre in Victoria – this will be where all their volunteers will come

to train in their vessel simulator. They will also do first aid, leadership, communications and a whole range of courses.

“Because we really emphasize training, because it really adds to the safety for our volunteers,” Duffus noted, “and it also ensures that we provide an excellent service out on the water.”

Since January 2014, stations across the province have been called out on 392 missions and assisted 227 people on the water. As always, the Sunshine Coast stations have been busy. Since January 1 those stations have responded to 38 missions and assisted 15 people.

As part of their “get by giving” philosophy, Krista & Tony are donating one bench to busy bus-stops from Langdale to Upper Gibsons for every house they sell.

“So far we have supplied 20 Benches and have some more on order” says Tony, “We have had a great first year and are hoping that by the end of next year we will be able to supply a bench to every bus-top that needs one. We love living on the Coast and huge part of that is the people, this was a way we thought of to give back”.

Warren Paull started with Lehigh Sechelt Operations in Aug 1991. He performed mechanical work throughout the mine site and took the initiative to learn the operations of all plants. Warren was the first employee who was a certified mobile equipment operator. He ran an excavator for a number of years and after he mastered this realm he then decided to take on the challenging position of Production Foreman. Warren was involved in Mine Rescue, Safety committee and numerous other groups among the Sechelt Organization. Thank you for your many years of service Warren.

Harry started with Sechelt Operations in March 1992 and was a key employee with the mechanical department. Harry then transferred into the Production department and utilized his skills as a mobile equipment operator. After mastering the mobile equipment field he moved on to operating the Primary plant which is the heart of all production plants. Harry was also tasked with being a Sechelt Mobile trainer and grooming up-and-coming new employees to feed off his vast knowledge of all mobile equipment. We would like to thank Harry for his many years of service and hope he manages to catch a few fish with his new gear he received as a retirement gift from the Sechelt crew!

Calling all Capilano University Alumni I

t is always exciting to hear people’s stories of their connection to Capilano as a place of learning, personal growth, and community gathering. Especially when those people are locals, from right here on the Sunshine Coast.

From those who attended classes many years ago when the College was just a group of portables in North Vancouver, to those who have benefitted from its programs closer to home at our campus here on the Sunshine Coast, over the decades the University has nourished dreams and supported learning for many Coast residents who now proudly call themselves Capilano University alumni.

In 2008, when what was once Capilano College, transitioned to what is now Capilano University, the role of alumni in the culture and development of the school became ever more important.

This shift prompted the initiation of the Capilano University Alumni Association Board, responsible for connecting with alumni and helping create pathways for them to enrich the Capilano experience.

The Alumni Association is honoured to support and celebrate our students and community with the annual Community Recognition Event. The event provides an opportunity for all of us to be inspired by our student award recipients and our remarkable community of volunteers, alumni, faculty, staff and community partners.

For Capilano alumni on the Coast seeking to be more involved in what happens at our local campus, creating an alumni chapter is a great way to remain engaged with the university and be a meaningful part of the conversations that affect the experience students have as they come through our doors. An alumni chapter can be formed with as a few as five people who are committed to being active as Capilano alumni. Chapters can be put together with a group of alumni from any discipline who reside on the Coast. Or, chapters can focus on a specific program of study such as Health Care Assistants or Mountain Bike graduates.

Would you be interested in starting an alumni chap-

ter? Sarah Ward was a Capilano College student, whose relationship with the school began in 1995 and went on to span many years. Now the Coast campus’ First Nations Student Liaison at Capilano she has gone on to promote the interests and needs of our local campus by volunteering on the Alumni Board and working with the Alumni Association. If you are interested in learning more about being involved in an alumni chapter on the Coast please contact Sarah. You can reach her at 604-741-3906 or sar ahward@capilanou.ca.

If you are a Capilano alumni and you have not heard from us, we would like to have your contact information so we can keep you in the loop about alumni events and news. You can email Janis Connolly of the Alumni Relations Office at jconnoll@capilanou.ca or call 604-990-7968 with any questions and your most current contact information.

We’ll look forward to hearing from you!

Sunshine Coast glass artists gleam at GPAG T

he works of 21 glass artists presently grace Gibsons Public Art Gallery with an arresting display of organic forms. One of the Sunshine Coast Glass Artists whose work is on display at GPAG until August 18 is Miyuki Shinkai.

The Gibsons glass blower told The Local Weekly she took glass blowing studies at Georgia Southwestern State University. She then went on to Pilchuck glass school in Stanwood, WA where she found some inspiring influences among the school’s artists.

“It opened up my path to work for America’s youngest national treasure at the time, Dale Chihuly, the founder of Pilchuck.” Shinkai said.

She notes she was influenced by Chihuly’s vision and that of his immediate students who are now re-

glass art on an international scale,” the artist asserts.

She is clear about the reasons she chose to create with glass.

“Blown glass is very seductive medium, difficult to control, learn, but so beautiful and fluid medium,” GPAG 3jul14 Shinkai explains, and notes the “Vibrant Colours, its shininess, and spontaneous decision making on process; it’s a infectious medium.”

She would like to have a more full-time studio, in an economy that supports the operating costs of such work Julyher 18,craft 2014 but she is keeping alive with smaller projects, and teaches in community settings through children’s art classes.

“I just finished teaching at the Aquifer Art Camp at Deer Crossing the Art Farm,” the long-time member of the GPAG notes.

Shinkai agrees the current GPAG gallery location is large and beautiful venue with good accessibility.

“We started this glass show in the old basement space in 2007, 2009, as a biannual event,” Shinkai shares. She notes that this year’s show was requested by popular demand.

“Susan Furze put a submission proposal together on behalf of the 21 glass artists,” she notes, and that it took, “a year and a half of her work to get ready and realize the group exhibit for this year.” The glass artist and her partner will be involved in the Art Crawl event for this year as well. “Our studio is Mellon Glass Studio in Langdale. We have glass works by my husband, Wayne Harjula, mine, and studio production works,” she says, adding her family’s studio is open daily to the public, as are most of the studios of the 21 glass artists in the Sunshine Coast Glass Artists group.

Natural heat stroke remedies Holistic View Canteris Hartley Classical Homeopath

S

ummer is officially here.

However, for those that are prone to heat exhaustion or heatstroke, summer can have a whole other meaning.

Heat stroke can be serious and come on suddenly. It most frequently affects older people, young children and people who exercise in the heat. The skin becomes hot and red, perspiration maybe absent or profuse, the pulse fast and strong. There may also be confusion, stupor and even unconsciousness, as well as, headaches, nausea and in extreme cases convulsions.

There is a failure for the body to regulate a normal temperature and can reach very high (40C or higher).

If this is the case, the body must be cooled immediately, by removing their clothing and getting them to a cool place, immersing them in cool water or rubbing them with a cool wet cloth or ice and fanning them until their temperature comes

down. The first priority is to get their temperature down and take them to the nearest medical emergency facility while keeping them cool and their temperature down.

Heat exhaustion develops gradually when the body is exposed to hot weather and the person loses water and salt through excessive sweating. Tiredness, cold and clammy skin, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, paleness, headache, and muscle cramps occur and there may be a rapid pulse and breathing.

Have the person lie down in a cool, dark place and raise their feet. Apply a cool wet cloth to head and body and fan them. Also, give water with salt (1/2 tsp of salt to 1 litre of water) drinking frequently. If fainting or unconsciousness has occurred then treat for shock and ensure their temperature has not risen, seek medical attention immediately as well if symptoms have not improved within an hour or are worse.

In both cases of heatstroke and exhaustion, people will be abnormally sensitive to heat for sometime after-

wards, so avoid exposure.

Homeopathic remedies can be used in cases of acute heatstroke and exhaustion to help relieve immediate symptoms quickly and gently until the person is able to get medical attention, especially if you are in remote area far from immediate help, in the case of hiking and biking in the back country or out on a boat or kayak. Belladonna or Glonoine are two common homeopathic remedies that cover the symptoms of high temperature, throbbing headaches, red face and stupor. Veratrum Album or Cuprum Metallicum homeopathic remedies can be given for the symptoms of heat exhaustion. Cuprum is especially helpful for muscle cramps. These remedies can be given immediately and frequently, every 15 minutes, until symptoms are relieved.

For those individuals that have a chronic sensitivity to heat and sun or if they have become sensitive from over exposure to heat or sun, professional homeopathic treatment can help relieve this susceptibility.

If hearing loss affects your interactions with family and friends, then it’s time you did something about it!

The money spent on a daily cup of coffee over five years would cover the average cost of two hearing aids.

Sechelt considers smoking bylaws

A

request was heard from the Canadian Cancer Society and Vancouver Coastal Health on June 4, at the District of Sechelt regular council meeting, for a more stringent bylaw in Sechelt relating to smoking in public places. Such venues of concern include parks, trails, beaches, and includes properties where the public can gather, like stores, restaurants, theatres, etc. Smoking is already restricted by Provincial regulations in and around entrances to public buildings.

Council resolved to have staff look into what is being done in other communi-

ties and what the views of Sechelt residents are regarding further restrictions on smoking. As part of that review, July’s District Dialogue question is “Do you support increasing restrictions on smoking in public places in Sechelt?”

Sechelt municipality asked for your opinion to, “help Council make a decision that is right for the community.”

Nutritious and easy ancient grain

New york steaks �������� $9.99/LB

What is a perfect summer food, ready in 15 minutes and full of nutrition? Quinoa.

Middle-Age Vegan Deb Calderon Cuisine Consultant

Q

uinoa is a good source of protein, is low fat, full of fiber and very filling.

Quinoa may cost more than rice, but it is a bit of a pow-

erhouse when it comes to healthy food. Quinoa comes originally from the Inca people of South America who referred to it as the “mother seed,” and considered it to be sacred. They grew quinoa in South America in the high altitude of the Andes. It was also their staple food for 5,000 years.

One important caveat is

that you have to rinse the quinoa thoroughly before you use it to remove to remove a nasty tasting covering on it called saponin. I cook a batch of quinoa at least once a week, as it is so versatile. It is great in a casserole or soup, you can put it into stuffed peppers or even make cookies and cakes with it. I find,

though, that it is outstanding in a summer salad.

The following recipe comes from one of my favourite vegan recipe sites ohsheglows.com Everything I have ever made from this site has been tasty. This would be a wonderful dish to bring to a summer barbeque or potluck party.
