Green Jobs Town Hall coming to Gibsons

now playing

GreenJobsBC will be holding a town hall event on Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m. at the Kinsmen Hall, 399 Aldersprings Road (in Dougall Park) in Gibsons to discuss possibilities for a green economy, and get feedback from citizens about their goals for creating local jobs that are good for the economy and the environment. The town hall will bring together members of the community including labour and environmental groups to have a constructive conversation on how to achieve

these goals.

Residents of the Sunshine Coast are encouraged to attend and join GreenJobs BC’s co-chairs BCGEU President Darryl Walker and Lisa Matthaus of Organizing for Change, and other speakers to hear about possibilities for creating green jobs, and to share local visions for their community.

“B.C. needs bold and purposeful policy and action to build an economy that creates sustainable livelihoods for British Columbians while dealing

with climate change,” says BCGEU President Darryl Walker. “We know that British Columbia can create green jobs while lowering its GHG emissions.”

“Creating green jobs is a very real option for BC, but we need to hear from communities about how to work together to achieve this. These conversations will contribute to a vision for a green economy that includes all of BC, from cities to resource communities,” says Lisa Matthaus of Organizing for Change.

Editorial Opinion Whadda ya gonna do?

About 250 years ago, an Irish philosopher and founder of modern conservatism, Edmond Burke, began publishing.

As is common with those who begin revolutionary movements (and yes, at the time, conservatism was revolutionary) he got all the best lines. Burke is probably best known for the widely-quoted aphorism, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”

Across the intervening years since those words first appeared in print, good men have taken stands against evil – and good men have remained seated and left the fight to others. We wrote last week about two good men – Gary Feschuk and Calvin Craigan – leading the charge against dirty coal travelling through our offshore waters, holding government agencies legally responsible. We’ve written about the good people of Zero Waste Canada, the Sunshine Coast Clean Air Society and others fighting against incinerators and MMBC’s one-size-fits-no one waste management system. Many individuals – like feisty Gibsons Councillor Charlene SanJenko – are standing up to add their voices to the chorus. But other groups we might expect to take a firm stand remain silent, content to let others speak for them. Whatever their reason, their silence can be construed as consent, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary.

It’s not easy to speak up, particularly in a time in which modern media, social and standard, encourages everyone to provide an instant response to every situation, and ignorance of the various ramifications of the situation does not stand in anyone’s way. Having and holding an opinion that may be contrary to the prevailing winds of public opinion (and that public can be windy) requires a particular level of bravery.

This is an election year; residents will go to the polls on November 15 to choose their local government representatives. Who will run? Who – in this climate of entitled carping criticism – would want to?

Good men – and women – are actually discouraged from running by the weekly example of residents mounting vicious attacks against anyone who does not agree with them.

So who triumphs, then? According to Burke, it’s evil that will win out, and indeed to silence opposition through sheer volume or by wearing it down by repetitious rhetoric is not a Good Thing.

Two centuries ago, Burke noted that “It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the publick to be the most anxious for its welfare.” Like we said – he got all the good lines. And human nature, in 250 years, has ensured that those lines still hold true.

Political extremism?

Political extremism is rarely successful and can never be effective in a democracy. Yet, we seem to be, once again, experiencing this type of radical idealism in Gibsons. Gibsons Alliance of Business and Community Society (GABC) states environmental health as one of their values: “We support the Precautionary Principle as our community’s most prudent guide when facing environmental and public policy decisions that will have an impact on human health or air, land, and marine environments.”

Yet, when I asked about the Society’s position on the Metro Vancouver waste incinerator project, the query was summarily dismissed.

Is it because the proposed incinerator will be in Port Mellon and not Gibsons?

Letters to the Editor and Submissions are welcome on any topic of local or general interest. Opinions expressed are those of the writers and do not reflect opinions of The Local

Editor’s Note: The following letter was circulated to elected officials and copied to The Local

Weekly for publication.

The more that is learned about Multi-MaterialsBC (MMBC), the more confused things become. It is not too late to tell MMBC “No Thanks” and continue with what we have, while our community waits for this plan to be framed up properly. It is nowhere near ready for launch, way too many unknowns. It is not clear if some of the PPP materials collected would be burned in Burnaby’s garbage incinerator, or in an incinerator which may be coming to our community.

Remember, the Provincial Government mandated that we have a Solid Waste Management Plan, that it be updated every five years.

This was complied with at a huge cost over the years.

We have a good solid waste plan and recycling program.

Now the Province says in effect, “We’re scrapping your Solid Waste Plan, now you will feed your recyclables through a single stream collection program (MMBC) and pay the cost that MMBC will impose.”

Consider this, the province is granting MMBC exclusive control over recycling. Whatever the price MMBC quotes to SCRD today, what do you think the price will be when the contract with MMBC comes up for renewal, when MMBC is the only game in town and we have NO OPTIONS? Have you considered the economic repercussions to the Sunshine Coast and job loss in this MMBC picture?

Well, that can’t be, as the Future of Howe Sound Society is mentioned on the GABC website. And air does travel – polluted or otherwise, so I believe this to be a Sunshine Coast issue.

The Wilderness Committee, David Suzuki Foundation, Sierra Club and Greenpeace all expound on the dangers of waste incineration. Yet, GABC does not have a position. That seems very odd to me.

The GABC’s current opposition of the proposed George hotel seems as though it is not about the George, it’s about the perception of corporations and wealth. GABC shows an obvious disconnect to how our society remains inclusive and how our society supports the infrastructure and amenities that we all clearly appreciate.

Robert F. Kennedy said, “What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme but that they are intolerant.” While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion on the proposed George Hotel, let’s remember that there are other important issues that will need our collective attention to assess and determine the future of the Sunshine Coast.

Will this future include burning Metro Vancouver’s garbage?

Michele March, Gibsons

Tell MMBC ‘no thanks’

Evidence-obscured medicine In his letter of April 17, Gordon Politeski recommended a book about “evidence-based medicine” by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Chief of Infectious Diseases, Paul Offit. In a recent interview on CBC’s The Current about mandating measles vaccine, Offit carefully avoided evidence-based medicine except for one brief segment: he admitted that it would be “very hard to prove” that a case of measles was contracted from a measles-infected unvaccinated person because “the virus mutates fairly frequently.”

But an April 16 Financial Post article by Lawrence Solomon, research director of Consumer Policy Institute, refers to several studies in reputable science journals which provide evidence that both pre-and post-vaccine, serious complications and deaths from measles have mostly been due to poverty and underlying conditions; that, according to Clinical Pediatrics, pre-vaccine measles was “typically a benign childhood disease;” that postvaccine adults constitute one quarter to one half of cases, most of them complicated with pneumonia; and that vaccinated expectant women, their unborn babies and their infants are more at risk than those with natural measles immunity. I find it interesting that an advocate for the environment and “excellence and efficiency within public service institutions” would provide more scientific evidence than North America’s leading vaccine crusader.

Viewing the sky with the naked eye (Part I) Auriga Not all astronomy requires a telescope or binoculars. Going outside on a clear night and looking up at the stars is the best way to become oriented to the night sky.

How can we quickly tell which stars and constellations are above our horizon on any given hour and time of the year? With an easy to use planisphere! A more tech savvy way is to use an App, such as GoSkyWatch on your iPhone, or Google Sky Map and Star Chart on your android; or use an easily recognized constellation such as the Big Dipper as a guide.

Most people know this asterism (grouping of stars) in the constellation Ursa Major which is visible locally at all times of the year. The second star from the end of the handle is Mizar which, on closer examination, is actually two binary stars, Mizar and Alcor. Ages ago the ability to resolve the two stars with the naked eye was used as a test of a person’s eyesight!

The two pointer stars at the end of the scoop point to Polaris, and Ursa Minor, the Little Dipper.

Polaris, the North Star, has been used by mariners for centuries to find ‘north.’

Follow the arc of the handle of the Big Dipper to Arcturus, the brightest star in the constellation Bootes. Continue that arc to Spica in the constellation Virgo. Another useful guide coming up in the

The moon is always interesting to observe with the naked eye. Use lunar maps to pick out the various ‘seas’ and craters.

Early impacts produced craters that were partially or completely obscured by the subsequent lava flows that created the dark maria, but younger craters like Copernicus and Tycho are surrounded by rays of bright ejecta not covered by lava. Particularly spectacular are events like the recent total lunar eclipse.

Through May and June the planets provide great naked eye viewing with Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in the evening sky, and

Venus at dawn. But in the last two weeks of May and first week in June, Mercury rises into the western sky for its best appearance of the year.

The public is welcome to attend the Royal Astronomical Society meeting on Friday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunshine Coast Art Centre. Guest speaker Dr. Jeremy Heyl from UBC will speak on black holes and other phenomena in “The Multiwavelength Sky.” Donations gratefully appreciated!

Friday, May 16, we’ll help you navigate the sky at AstroCafe, 8:30 p.m. at Pier 17 at Davis Bay, with telescopes set up on the seawall (weather permitting).

Working Together to Build Our Communities®

Nature is the biggest winner Lehigh Hanson is part of the HeidelbergCement Group, one of the largest building materials manufacturers worldwide. Our core business includes the production of cement and aggregates, both of which require the mining of raw materials from a pit or quarry.

These mining sites present a great variety of habitats for a number of species of animals and plants that are becoming increasingly marginalized in modern cultural landscapes that present low disturbances from human activities.

With a footprint of over 250 hectares and producing approximately 4 million tonnes of products per year, the Lehigh Hanson Materials Limited (Lehigh) – Sechelt Mine is one of the largest aggregate mines in Canada.

The specific location of the Sechelt mine, being located close to communities and hospitals, on the Sechelt Band Lands, a popular holiday destination and within environmentally sensitive areas presents a variety of community and environmental challenges.

Lehigh recently participated in a climate change research study at the Sechelt Mine site. The focus of study was the mitigation of climate change through land reclamation with biosolids. One of the primary findings was that soil carbon storage was greater in areas reclaimed with biosolids compared to similar areas reclaimed with conventional techniques. Conventional techniques include the use of synthetic fertilizer and/or overburden placement only. Results from this

research suggest that use of biosolids, either alone or as part of a manufactured topsoil, results in higher carbon storage than use of overburden or conventional fertilizer for reclamation. These findings demonstrate the use of biosolids at the Sechelt Mine reduces Lehigh’s carbon footprint.

A mining site provides a great variety of landscapes and habitats that present low disturbances from human activities. As a leading cement and aggregates producer, HeidelbergCement is committed to managing biodiversity during and after extraction. In more than 1000 quarries and pits worldwide we strive to promote the exceptional local flora and fauna.

The Quarry Life Award is Heidelberg’s international scientific and educational competition promoting ecology and biodiversity in mining areas. Students in more than 20 countries are invited to submit research proposals at over 65 of the company’s participating quarries world-wide. The winning proposals are

accepted to carry out their field research and top prizes are awarded by a jury of international biodiversity experts. This year, the Sechelt Mine accepted two proposals from university students to further their research ideas in the field at our mine site over the summer. Both proposals aim to raise the awareness and increase our knowledge of the high biodiversity value at the Sechelt Mine and Lehigh’s commitment to responsible mining and environmental protection.

To learn more about the Quarry Life Award, go to our website www.quarrylifeaward.com

Winners of the 51st Annual Mine Safety Award Lehigh Materials Sechelt Operation was recently awarded the Stewart/O’Brian Award for the second consecutive year. Their outstanding safety statistics including zero lost time accidents and minimal recordable incidents in 2013 proves “Safety is our #1 Priority.” Lehigh’s culture and initiative to accomplish zero harm daily will help ensure a safe and successful 2014.

Salmon fry release promises strong return for 2015 The Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society (SCSES) released 365,000 Pink Salmon fry into coastal waters in mid-April, with 115,000 released into Gibsons harbour and 250,000 into the waters at Stalashen. The fry were acclimatized in net pens for three weeks prior to release. The Pink fry are all the offspring of the strong 2013 run, and should return to coastal waters in the fall of 2015.

The Town of Gibsons and the District of Sechelt as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District provided support for the activities of the SCSES. The Sechelt Indian Band provided 250,000 Pink salmon eggs for this year’s release, as well as netting for use at Stalashen.

Each year SCSES releases upwards of a million salmon into coastal waters; the fry

Hiking Level: Moderate Bring snacks and water.

Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) will be leading a group across a key section of the Trailfest Wagon Rd Trail (Wagon Trail). Formerly a skid trail, where a team of oxen would pull timber selectively logged back in the Coastal pioneer days, it’s now a popular hiking and biking route of both local and national significance.

‘Wagon Trail’ passes through a deep-green forest, crosses numerous step-pool streams that support ideal amphibian habitat. The trail has been impacted by clearcut logging and not been properly restored to any semblance of its original state.

Our walk will also take us into one of the finest patches of ‘emerging’ old-growth forests left on the Elphinstone slopes. Expect to be awed by the wonders of this lush, jungle-like environment. ELF has been watching over this forest for several years now and had obtained a deferral on its cutting, however plans have arisen again that should alarm the community. Please join us to learn about forest ecology, local history and possible future environmental impacts.

Talk to the animals at GWRC fundraiser Party Ponies and Farm Ventures invites everyone to come meet their farm animals, while supporting our injured local wildlife on Sunday, May 5 from noon to 3 p.m. This fundraiser for Gibsons Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (GWRC), held annually at the farm on 713 Sullivan Road (just below Highway 101 at West Reed Road) offers a fabulous adventure for all.

Join the farm tours and visit the Petting Farm, feeding the goat who walks on her hind legs, or a Tea Cup Pig who sits and makes faces. Get a kiss from Dodger the Llama.

Talk to the horse, of course – and see if she talks back!

Enjoy pony rides and games in a safe environment. Sit back and enjoy coffee and homemade baked treats while local singer/songwriter and guitarist, Bonar, performs throughout the afternoon.

Wiebe makes a Come Back April 26 Rudy Wiebe, the ‘Grand Old Man’ of prairie fiction, returns to Sechelt for a sneak preview reading from his upcoming novel, Come Back, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 26 at the Arts Centre (corner of Trail and Medusa). Admission by donation, courtesy of the Canada Council.

Wiebe won acclaim for his sympathetic portrayal of First Nations people, notably in The Temptations of Big Bear (Governor General’s

Award 1973), The ScorchedWood People, and A Discovery of Strangers, (Governor General’s Award 1994.)

His dedication to the cause of the Aboriginal people extended to collaborating with Yvonne Johnson in Stolen Life: The Journey of a Cree Woman.

Wiebe also pioneered the representation of his Mennonite people in fiction in novels extending from Peace Shall Destroy Many in

1962 to Sweeter Than All the World in 2001. His tribute to the people and the place that made him, Of This Earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest, won the Charles Taylor Prize for creative non-fiction for 2006.

His many other honours and distinctions include The Order of Canada and the Alberta Lieutenant Governor’s Distinguished Artist Award.

The event also features entertainment by local musicians and a regular petting zoo for the kids.

Gibsons Thursday Night Market is organized and sponsored by the non profit S.P.A.C.E. (society for the preservation of arts, culture and environment). The group is actively seeking more food vendors, artisans, farmgate producers, children’s entertainers and face painters. Vendors may book for single or multiple dates. All participants must pay a $25 membership fee, to help cover marketing costs.

Wildlife Project provides homes and gardens for wildlife Spring’s arrival offers residents exceptional opportunities to enjoy a range of wildlife activity – birds nesting, amphibians breeding, bees humming among the flowers, and turtle hatchlings leaving their nests. To enhance the experience, the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project is encouraging residents to welcome the wild kingdom into their neighbourhood, helping provide more habitat and shelter and reporting on sightings of local species for the project’s records. The project’s website (www.coastwildlife.ca) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/coastwildlife) offer tips and discussion forums for anyone wishing to build habitat, report sightings, or share photos. Keeping tabs on area wildlife can be a great activity for families.

Over the past six months, Anayansi Cohen-Fernandez launched the project’s Homes for Wildlife initiative with a series of workshops, presentations, and kids’ programs.

Project coordinators David Stiles and Michelle Evelyn will be building on her groundwork and suggest getting the kids involved with a selection of activities including: Search for amphibians Frogs, toads, salamanders and newts are all breeding at this time of year. Visit a pond, marsh, lake or wetland to search for, identify and photograph amphibian egg masses. An identification guide is available on the project’s Facebook page.

Turtle babies Miniature Western Painted Turtle babies, each the size of a loonie, emerge from their underground nests near Pender Harbour area lakes during April and May. Project coordinators need volunteers willing to check and report on nesting sites regularly.

Bat roosts Project coordinators are monitoring local bat populations to understand their habitat associations and to better protect them against White Nose Syndrome, a deadly disease (affecting bats, not humans) which is expected to arrive in BC within the next five to 10 years. Residents with bat roosts on their property are asked to notify the Project.

Volunteers Rick O’Neill and Lou Drumond have created a number of kits for bat roosts, owl nesting boxes and mason bee houses which are offered free through the project’s Homes for Wildlife Pro-

Authors and practitioners, Judyth R e i c h e n b e r g - Ullman, N.D., L.C.S.W. and Robert Ullman, N.D., who both have extensive experience working in conventional mental health professions report in their books, Rage free Kids and Ritalin Free Kids, on their research illustrated with case studies of children treated successfully homeopathically.

Even if your child has not been diagnosed, but is displaying challenging behaviors it is recommended that these be addressed in the early stages, before they escalate.

Many factors can contribute to behavioral disorders and how each child uniquely responds to particular stressors play an important role when considering what changes and approaches to take.

probably wise to trust the flow and pay your dues.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) A recent twist and turn towards relationships finds you feeling the love, or longing to.

While romance is implied, it may be woven with spiritual threads as well. Either way, there is reason to say you feel inspired. This trend will increase over the coming weeks. Though you may not go chasing it, prayers for it are streaming through your heart and mind.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Doing the work to clear, purge and downsize continues. You are prepared to really roll-up your sleeves.

Thoughts, discussions and actions center upon new perspectives on security. Sometimes, less truly is more. How you relate and directing your focus to serve a higher purpose are interwoven themes replacing the urge to acquire more stuff.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) You have entered a creative cycle. It will lead you over the coming weeks especially to innovate and invent. Given all the dynamics and shakeups likely occurring in your world, circumstances may be demanding this. At best you feel inspired and confident to forge ahead. Stay alert because the spark of genius and ingenuity stands to be triggered by others now.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) A long awaited breakthrough is set to occur over the coming few weeks. Both a deepened sense of material stability and emotional

Tip of the Week: The Sun entered Taurus on April 18 at 8:55 pm PDT. It did so in the wake of the now virtually infamous Cardinal Grand Cross. Over the next four weeks the overall dynamic will take on a particularly practical, sober and business-oriented focus.

‘Business’ is not specific to commerce here. It implies whatever is especially important in our lives Amidst the usual daily tasks and those linked to this time of the year, like gardening and spring cleaning, this other, deeper and equally valid layer of focus is woven into the game plan for this time. Seeing healers and therapists of all kinds, opening to new, positive and empowering wisdom or doing the inner work yourself are good and wise choices that represent alignment with this overall energy pattern.

This inner work can begin by simply saying ‘thank you’ and/or ‘I forgive you’ with genuine sincerity. Morals and ethics aside, these actions are keys to centering in the heart which is a golden key to health and happiness.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) The time has come to really get down to business.

By now you have probably activated a series of fresh leads and starts. Now it is time to build upon them, to take them to the next effective level. This includes digging even deeper. Becoming aware of subconscious patterns that are perpetuating certain fixed attitudes is a feature of this deep-end work.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) You are in a pioneering mood. Entering new territory now implies nurturing important friendships. Aspiring to achieve what may be deemed higher ideals is featured. While you likely are willing to work hard, key collaborations will save you a lot of time, energy and money. Reach out to strike win/ win deals with warm leads.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Focusing on what constitutes your best and most important ‘homework’ is in focus. This can literally include you home residence. It can also include studies, selfimprovement and research for important projects and so on. Look to the future and decipher now what you can do to initiate realistic and wise momentums.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Deciphering who are truly

the most important people in your life is on you radar.

There may be more than one category: friends, family, colleagues and other such allies.

These may be spiritual sources as well: Jesus, Buddha, angels... Ideally, your focus will include your own inner power and authority as well.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) Stepping into the limelight is destined to be all part of the job for you. Gaining added attention from fans and admirers and from authority figures too is part of the plot. Your light will shine even brighter when any expectations are replaced with a genuine intention to be of service. This is especially important now. Put people before profits.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) Expanding your vision and focus on all fronts continues. This includes looking forward to future probabilities. Establishing a foundation for a whole new round of strategies and expressions is implied. New experiences, lessons and angles of approach beckon.

This is a call to innovate and if necessary to re-invent yourself altogether.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) Attending to financial interests, issues and/or responsibilities is likely now.

Savings, earning and perhaps especially investments are on your mind. You may also be dealing with liabilities and paying off debts of some kind as well. These may not specifically be financial. Either way, you are

fulfillment is likely. You have perhaps been patiently waiting for this for some months now. So, it is important that you be focused and alert.

This will be an important initial step followed by a series of others over the next few months especially.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) New thoughts, ideas and concepts are beginning to really take form in your mind.

You are at least determined to consider and even experiment with them. You will have to focus more intently than you may realize to succeed. Like moving through fog you are wise to proceed slowly but surely. Outline a plan with a timeline and watch for the signs.
