f you’re living in South Pender Harbour, Weathertight lug 1035 you may already know the water supply is changing, for the better. Pender Harbour communities have had a long history of poor water quality that residents and visitors have had to cope with.

“This time of year, visitors and residents are usually living with boil water notices,” says regional utilities manager, Dave Crosby.

But boil notices are going to be a thing of the past, with the new water treatment plant at Aug. 30, 2012 McNeill Lake.

“It’s a pretty exciting success story,” Crosby notes, “The Regional District is proudly celebrating this (new) operation.”

The efforts of the Sunshine Coast Regional District have been well timed with grants that became available out of the Building Canada Fund that was established under the federal plan to fund projects from 2007 to 2014.

South Pender Water Treatment Plant’s completion has resulted in clean water flowing out of Area A taps since the end of June, thanks to a vision for better services from former directors, several years of planning, and winning a $4.06 million grant from the Federal government toward the $5.5 million cost. Throughout July, the technicians said they have been tweaking things and trying to get the water works running at optimal levels

Residents in South Pender Harbour will continue to get their drinking water from McNeill Lake, the plant’s senior technician confirms, only now it will be filtered and cleaned in specialized stages that are easy to monitor and adjust.

The District notes the water is already looking and tasting better.

“We’re fine tuning things ... it’s really big that we’ve never had to shut the plant down,” on site Environmental Operator, Kevin Johnson observed.

“If we (Area A) have more population we can accommodate that,” Johnson informed.

Water meters are part of the system and also a condition of the grant they received from the federal government. The District notes with metering they can fix leaks in the system quickly, and help offset costs.

Sechelt emergency services were called to Hackett Park at 6:45pm on Friday July 25, after a minivan crashed through a set of bleachers. Remarkably, there were no reports of injuries to any of the spectators on or around the bleachers, who were watching a baseball game at the time, police said.

After speaking with witnesses, police determined that a 15-year-old girl from Sechelt had been driving, and had a 17-year-old female passenger. It appears the driver had been turning

onto Dolphin Street from Ocean Avenue, and may have lost control when she swerved to avoid a cyclist.

The driver, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, failed a roadside breath test, and was arrested for impaired driving.

“This is obviously an alarming incident for several reasons,” said Sunshine Coast RCMP member Cst. Harrison Mohr.

“This girl was not only too young to be driving in the first place, but for her to get behind the wheel while

she was intoxicated was a very dangerous choice to make. It is amazing that no one was hurt or killed,” Cst. Morh wrote.

Police want to thank the witnesses that came forward, as their statements were crucial in helping police to identify the driver.

The driver was released to her father, and is facing charges of impaired driving, failing to provide a breath sample, and mischief under $5,000. She also received a ticket for driving without a driver’s licence.

One of only a handful of Level 4 water techs in the province, Johnson along with his team work with the latest technology to assure water quality standards meet and exceed Health Canada’s Drinking Water Guidelines. the technicians can see and adjust all the variables like sediments, ph levels and flow in real time.

The water that comes to the plant is improved through the use of “floccing” Dissolve, Air, Float (DAF) process which infuses particles in

the water with bubbles to causes the impurities to float in a foam on the tank surface. Sets of brushes skim off the foam, and cleaner water flows through UV reactors where powerful light kills chlorine-resistant bacteria such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

The water is clean enough that they need to rely less on disinfecting solutions.

“We’re using half the chlorine that we used to,” Johnson emphasized.

The pumps, systems and tanks all have back ups so they can take some pieces of the system offline to

Editorial Opinion

Staying cool to prevent illness

T

he Local Weekly wishes to offer some medical widom from Coastal Health’s Dr. Paul Martiquet on coping in a heat wave.

Who is at greater risk in the heat?

Hot temperatures can be dangerous. While anyone at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others. Most at risk are infants and young children, people aged 65 or older, and those with chronic conditions such as breathing difficulties, heart problems, hypertension or kidney problems. People who are socially isolated are also vulnerable.

What illnesses can be caused by heat?

Heat illnesses include heat stroke, exhaustion, fainting, rash and muscle cramps. Any of these can come on very quickly. They are mainly caused by over-exposure to heat or over-exertion in the heat. Symptoms include dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, rapid breathing and heartbeat, extreme thirst and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine. Ignoring symptoms could lead to more serious heat illness.

What causes heat illnesses?

As the body works to cool itself in the heat, blood rushes to the surface of the skin, which means there is less blood for the brain, muscles and other organs.

Heat exhaustion and heat cramps occur when the body loses large amounts of water and salt through excessive sweating. The most serious condition, heat stroke, occurs when the body suffers from long, intense exposure to heat and loses its ability to cool itself. The part of the brain that normally regulates body temperature can malfunction. Fortunately, with prompt treatment, most people recover completely from heat-related illness. Not properly managed, heat stroke can be deadly.

How can you deal with heat illnesses?

The best way to deal with heat-related illness is to avoid it. Prevention can be a life saver. Staying well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, particularly water. Don’t wait to be thirsty because by then you are already dehydrated. Rehydration drinks can be a good idea as they are absorbed as quickly as water and will also replace sugar, sodium and other nutrients.

It’s a good idea to eat more fruit and vegetables because they have high water content. Cooling breaks, cool showers or baths help. If you are working or physically active outdoors, try to rest often (in the shade) and wear a widebrimmed hat to keep the sun off your head.

Summer weather is a boon to anyone who enjoys being outdoors, whether for a swim, hike or even just a backyard barbeque. But very hot weather is not to be taken lightly — it can kill.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Wires Unpleasant We totally concur with Bob Evermon’s letter to the editor in your July 24, 2014 edition.

When we decided to move to the Sunshine Coast 3 years ago, we were trying to escape the ‘big city’ noise, pollution, and attitude. We chose picturesque Davis Bay as our new community. Everywhere we looked, we could see beautiful old growth trees and ocean views from many outlooks in our neighbourhood.

Fast forward to today. As we walk through those same rural Davis Bay streets that we fell in love with, we are now again bombarded with

the big city attitude and eye pollution that we chose to move away from. We’re talking about the Telus fibre optic cable system that has recently transformed the Coast into a‘web of despair’.

The community has most likely seen the 3” thick cables and power boosters that have been installed into the area. How could one miss them? The telephone poles, that currently carry the old copper cable and telephone wires are straining beneath the weight of the new cable and loop system. It’s no wonder BC Hydro has now decided to replace 10,000 aging power poles as we watch them slowly lean into

the roadways.

Fortunately, some residents on the Sunshine Coast have the services underground and are not affected by this issue. However, we live on a corner where the intersection of cables strung from pole to pole are now interfering with our view more than ever. Once being able to see the magnificent views to the ocean, our eyes now zero in on big black cables with multiple loops and canisters.

Whoever made the decision to allow Telus into the community with its tangle of cable lines, should have taken a moment to ponder the implications of such an action. None of the residents were polled prior to the announcement that Telus would be bringing its ‘state of the art’ fibre optic cable system to the Coast. Perhaps a referendum would have been appropriate.

“World class telecommunication service” from our perspective, really translates into ‘eyesore’.

Jim and Joyce Christie

Dear Editor; We inadvertently attended a very-well researched and intelligently presented slideshow by Dr. Eoin Finn to the SCRD about the Woodfibre LNG proposal last Thursday, and I wanted to call attention the nightmare dangers of this project to the community of the Sunshine Coast. The implications are frightening and even absurd. Whatever you think of fracking and storing methane, the transportation of these gases through Howe Sound in behemoth tankers twice the

size of our ferries - is inviting a disaster into our community the size and destruction of which has not been seen. The narrowness of the Sound, islands, traffic, the recommended ‘safe’ zone around these tankers (l.6 km- non-existent around some turns) makes this infeasible from the get-go; the financial benefits of this LNG industry--100 jobs. If you’ve never written a letter in your life, it’s time to step up and take some time out of your day.

Coast towns campaign for fair ferries

G

ibsons Chamber of Commerce is backing the Powell River Chamber in their campaign for fair ferry policy dubbed Fiscal Fairness for Coastal Communities.

“Ferries are part of our highway system and should be managed and funded accordingly,” Gibsons Chamber Executive Director, Donna McMahon said.

Communities are hurt by the ferry cutbacks, the campaign asserts, so ferry-dependant towns are banding together to present their case for more responsive ferry services.

Coast economies are directly affected by BC Ferries policies and communities don’t have a lot of say in how our “water roads” are administrated, the Chamber Director points out. Locally they have seen Coast communities suffering so that’s why they have pledged support of $1000 to the Fiscal Fairness fight. “(Powell River Chamber) is doing a well-researched and politically savvy campaign,” McMahon noted, “they’ve done a good job of getting the ferry-dependant communities together

to move the campaign forward.”

The Upper Coast area has been hit hard, McMahon asserted, and ferry administration is failing consult properly with stakeholders in their areas. Presently, the campaign is gathering research, which compares fiscal fairness and transportation spending by the province, across all B.C. regions.

“It’s not just what ferries cost, but how our communities continue to be hampered in our economies … people don’t ask if we need roads,” McMahon said.

Federal transport head meets with Sunshine Coast leaders

June 26, 2014

S

unshine Coast leaders assembled last Wednesday for what John Weston’s office called a “fast-moving discussion” with Canada’s Transport Minister, Lisa Raitt.

The discussion included topics from tanker safety standards to coal shipping and response to abandoned or derelict vessels, Weston’s July 25 press release notes.

“Improving Canada’s world-class tanker safety system (WCTSS) will ensure that the risks of an oil spill at sea are minimized, that we’re quick to act if one does happen, and that pol-

luters pay,” said Minister Raitt.

Sunshine Coast Regional District Chair, Garry Nohr was present at the discussions and vouched for Minister Raitt’s maritime experience.

“Minister Raitt has a strong knowledge of marine services from her work experience before entering politics,” Nohr said.

Incidentally, local groups rallied last week to register community concerns about a proposed Liquid Natural Gas facility in Howe Sound before last Sunday’s comments deadline.

Gibsons Alliance of Busi-

S

ometimes dogs become reactive with other dogs while on leash and need specific behaviour modification exercises to help them become comfortable on leash.

This behaviour can start for a number of reasons some of which are: the leash reactive dog had an unpleasant encounter with another dog (or several crummy encounters) while she was on leash, or because she missed out on early socialization with other dogs and now needs help in this area. Or because she was punished for trying to greet other dogs while on leash and made an association between the appearance of another dog and the punishment (accidental learning) she became conflicted and leash reactive. If a normally calm dog suddenly becomes reactive they should see their vet to rule out or get treatment for any underlying medical issues which may be making the dog feel vulnerable.

In order to have a reactive dog become comfort-

able around other dogs one needs to embark on an individualized behaviour modification program while managing the dog and her environment (partly by initially avoiding walking places where unfamiliar dogs are likely to approach).

In addition, owners can help their dog a lot by learning the more subtle signs of stress reactive dogs’ display when encountering other dogs (or other stimulus) even at a distance which indicate the leashed dog is uncomfortable long before they escalate to barking, lunging, growling behaviour. Part of the behaviour modification program will include having the reactive dog work at a distance with calm, socially savvy and welltrained dogs(perhaps even starting with stuffed toy dogs), while the reactive dog is at a distance where she remains calm. In addition, the owner of the reactivedog needs to develop a “safety history” with

their dog, which gives the dog confidence in their owner assisting them in stressful situations or removing them from the situation. Trainers Suzanne Clothier, Dr. Sophia Yin and Grisha Stewart (Empowered Animal) all have helpful information on reactive dogs on-line. The training has to be at the individual dog’s pace.

Rushing the reactive dog is counter-productive and regression in behaviour is likely to occur. For equipment, a comfortable, well-fitting harness (some dogs may need a humane no-pull harness available at local pet supply stores) is recommended and a well-fitting, basket muzzle (also available at local pet supply stores). Basket muzzles allow a dog to pant, bark, drink and take food rewards while preventing them from biting and keeps the assistant dogs safe when working closely with the reactive dog.

BC DAY

Last ChanCe to save a key sunshine Coast forest!

• Where do the largest Mountain Hemlocks in the province stand like sentinels against time?

• Where do you find an ancient interface between people and trees in the form of Culturally Modified Trees (CMT), and black bear dens sites using 1,000 year-old yellow cedars?

• Where are the best growing sites for the endangered, native, Mountain Dewberry plant?

• And, where could this intricate web of life be wiped out — never to appear again?

Right here on the lower Sunshine Coast!

Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) has recorded B.C.’s largest (by width) Mountain Hemlocks, CMTs that should be protected as Archaeological sites, prime bear habitat in a secluded Dakota Bowl forest, and large patches of the endangered Mountain Dewberry (Rubus Nivalis) thriving on the lower Elphinstone slopes.

This Dakota Bowl forest eco-system is regarded as an endangered (blue-listed) according to the B.C. Conservation Data Centre.

The Province of BC, under the auspices of BC Timber Sales (BCTS) is set to log areas that contain the above features, without proper due diligence.

BCTS’ Cutblock A87126 is a combined Dakota Bowl site with a low-elevation Mt. Elphinstone forest.

Sunshine Coast residents: join hands and email BCTS’ Senior Forest Planner, Norm Kempe at: norm.kempe@gov.bc.ca with a note asking him to cancel Cutblock A87126 and instead protect a natural legacy by creating Ecological Reserves around these forests. Thank you.

oat lovers and maritime history buffs, here’s an event not to be missed this weekend in Madeira Park!

The Harbour Authority of Pender Harbour welcomes to the Madeira Park Wharf an exciting group of boats that are a big part of B.C.’s maritime heritage.

The Ex BC Forestry Service Vessel Squadron will be in port from August 1 to 4, 2014 with between 10 and 12 boats attending, ranging

in size from thirty-six feet to fifty-two feet.

These boats are all in amazing condition and will be open to the public for viewing Saturday August 2 and Sunday August 3 from 1 to 5 pm.

When these vessels were no longer needed by the Forestry Service, they were sold off. The new owners formed an association and their first rendezvous was right here in Pender

Harbour 23 years ago. They are all excited about coming back to Pender Harbour and are welcoming you to come by for a visit!

The vessels are an important part of B.C. history, and a few of them were actually stationed in Pender Harbour. Tamarack, a 52 footer, was built in 1927, making her 87 years old.

Bring your cameras, stories, and questions!

Between imagination and reality

Todd Clark show at the GPAG until August 17 Photo Apryl Veld

T

odd Clark’s paintings turn up the volume on colour and texture with his brilliant abstract beauty.

His point of view lends some gravity to the BALANCE show at Gibsons Public Art Gallery, (GPAG) which runs until August 17 in the Landing.

“I have a lot of work and there were a number of pieces that went together that suit a balance theme,” Clark said.

One feels the textures and lines are suspended in a modern yet garden-like intensity of mauve, blue, black and white that radiates within the gallery and reflects in the art glass also on display.

“I had painted some landscapes reduced to a very abstract format that I thought were complimentary to the glass art,” the Gibsons artist explained.

“The paintings selected for this show, BALANCE, speak to the challenges I find as a painter. My work is generally rooted in the

idea of landscape painting. However, I often feel conflicted when my work becomes too literal; when a tree becomes a tree I have a need to augment its colour, (alter) a shape recognizable; I distort it often by reducing its information to its bare bones. I enjoy entering the world between imagination and reality where nothing is certain, much like life,” Clark notes about his paintings.

A prolific and active artist on the Sunshine Coast for 21 years, Clark said he understands trying to “balance” the time of painting while being drawn to spend time outside.

Clark explained that he must balance his time and attention between upkeep on his property and his passion for painting.

“Shovelling horse manure, cutting grass, weeding can be a distraction but it also gives me a break from the (painting) work, and so that’s a kind of balance also,” he notes.

“I am fortunate to have a studio here, so I don’t have to paint in my kitchen,” he wryly points out. He keeps a very professional studio that is worth visiting if you can.

A super opportunity to treat ones senses is at the BALANCE show on now at GPAG in Gibsons Landing until August 17.

Clark is going to be offering a talk and some classes in the coming days as well through Opening Doors program. July 28 to August 1, join him in five days of workshops from 10 am to 3 pm at Todd Clark Studios at 895 Charman Road Gibsons.

He will also give a talk on “What I’ve learned as an artist,” on Saturday August 2 at GPAG in Gibsons, and will be a part of the group showing - Eleven Equal Artists - Power Of Paint Exhibition from August 15 to17 (reception 5 pm, August 15.)

locally for this week Check the stars – Horoscope Horoscope Michael O’Connor Astrologer

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) You are in a fun, playful and adventurous mood.

This may well include travel. Your passions are peaking and you feel assertive, even aggressive, or at least extra determined. You want the ones you love to feel the same and to deepen bonds.

This includes going big and far somehow. You will likely behave excessively now so be aware and exercise moderation as necessary.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) An extra creative cycle has begun. You feel inspired and your confidences are rising.

Your mood is kaleidoscopic and you want to take in as much as you can. Tending to the ambitions, passions and power plays of partners meanwhile requires extra effort. Aim for acceptance and avoid taking their actions too personally. Reserve your energies for creative expressions.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Your world has been ignited with excitement and

variety. Many new creative thoughts, ideas and visions are racing through your mind. You feel ready to learn and to collaborate and strike new deals. The learning curve especially will require more discipline to focus than usual. The need to feel more secure remains a prime motivation.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Taking stock of all you have and want and need is now in focus. This includes talents, strengths, personal attributes, key connections and other resources at least as much as stuff. You have been and continue to expand your perspective regarding longer term realities. How to best navigate and proceed from where you are to where you want to be and go is highlighted.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) The time has come to take new initiatives and probably a few risks as well. Fortunately, you are in an expansive mood. Yet, you may also be contending with fears just below the surface. If so, aim to be more deliberate in your focus to overcome them.

This begins with identifying what they are. Make

produced

two lists: the first of issues to overcome and the other of goals to achieve.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) A process of accessing your inner authority has begun. Some refer to this as your inner confidence; others call it your inner voice, while others say it is your higher mind. You can meditate, pray, seed dreams and/ or brainstorm for ideas to access this intuitive source.

Basically, set your intentions to activate your creative powers.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) The sparks of change for you are occurring in the arena of friendships and group or club involvements.

At best, rewards for past efforts are rolling in. At worst, despite a refreshing degree of variety you may feel a bit scattered, overwhelmed and uncertain regarding longer term objectives. Be your own best friend and decipher what you feel you truly want and need.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Some promising activations in your public and professional life are now underway. They are inspiring you to focus to increase your exposure and expand your

influence. This is a time to take risks, but very calculated ones. To proceed with confidence, affirm your worth and value and choose to like and respect yourself.

Then follow through with action.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) A whole new level of confidence is rising. It will be the sort that will inspire you to explore new territory, to take some pioneering leads. Letting go of the old whether it is memories, beKeep yourordollars on will longings attitudes… prove easier.

Yet, this the Sunshine Coast! ascension process has just begun and it will require that you do the inner work to prevail.

sesses at least one talent or attribute that you can harness for practical ends, and you are keen to do so now.

Some measure of research is implied such as reviewing bio’s and resumes. As well, you may feel the need to break through habitual attitudes, perspectives and/or traditions.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) You’re social, cultural and perhaps professional worlds are expanding. The time is right to meet and greet, to have interviews. If nothing is happening it is likely that you have not been putting it out there so this is your invitation to do so. Be willing to both give and receive more.

Getting or giving training is likely. Your numbers are lucky now but you have to play to win.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) The new cycle that has

just begun will require that you really get to work. Perhaps long standing plans and projects have finally come to the fore. Or it may be your health that needs extra attention. Either way, you must be clear and committed to make the necessary changes and adjustments in your attitude and approach to get down to business.
