notepad the power of us I remember this one time when a visitor to my office, finding that I was the only one in there, exclaimed, “Oh, I was expecting to see a team of people here working for ZOOM.” I smiled and said, “It’s only me. I’m the only one behind the magazine. There is no group of people running around, no big company backing me up, no team of salespeople, no copywriters. It’s just me. I am ZOOM.” I used to think that way. However, I soon realized that I am not really the only one behind ZOOM. Let’s consider this issue, for example. Work on it started not with the first click of my mouse to open a brandnew file. It began way before that. It started when our photographers first pressed the shoot buttons on their cameras to capture the images we showcase in these pages. It includes the many hours they spent trying to get that perfect light of day, catch a bird in flight, or capture a fleeting moment when clouds form a dramatic canvas above a shimmering waterscape. This issue started with a painter’s first brush stroke on a blank canvas. It started when music festival organizers brainstormed for their new concert season and when other groups initiated plans for their annual events. Then it continued when some people slipped copies of ZOOM into travel bags to take with them to their destinations, to capture photographic mementos of their trips. Pet lovers joined in, too. They took photos of their adorable pets and sent them to us. Finally, local businesses who realized the value of ZOOM as a potent vehicle for their advertising message stepped forward and made it possible for this issue to go into print. A series of beginnings, various acts of creation, both small and big steps from many individuals, community groups, and businesses, make up this issue of ZOOM. The power of community is definitely strong and alive on the Coast, and ZOOM is but one solid manifestation.

When I now get asked who is behind ZOOM, I say that it is the community that produces it. I just happen to be the one who weaves the many threads into the finished pages. I used to feel so all alone when, in the wee hours of the morning, struggling to meet the printing deadline, I was still working on refining page layouts. I don’t feel that way anymore. I am not ZOOM—we all are. Edmund Arceo edmund@zoomsunshinecoast.com

I love to photograph things that the average person wouldn’t stop to look at. There is so much beauty that gets passed by, when really people just need to slow down and look around in order to see it. The abundance of nature, its beauty, and the ocean at my doorstep inspire me on a daily basis. I want you to see, smell, and feel my images, as I did at that split second in time. I want them to speak to you, as they speak to me. — Linda Sabiston

“The inaugural exhibition in 2012 was a huge success; it achieved a level of excellence both in the quality of the work and in organization. The combination of the art exhibition, the Festival of the Written Arts, and the Hackett Park Arts and Crafts Fair is an extraordinary convergence of creative activity in the heart of Sechelt. The Power of Paint exhibition makes a significant contribution to a cultural hub that puts Sechelt on the map, attracts visitors, and enriches the lives of our residents.” — Jane Davidson, Producer, Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts

The 2013 Power of Paint will unveil an innovative art piece created jointly by all eleven artists. “The idea behind this project is to see how we, as individual artists with our contrasting styles, can create something that is much more than the sum of the individual parts. Coming together to make a piece of art in this way invigorates a whole new level of energy, a new way of seeing and expressing a single image.” — Kim La Fave IAN MACLEOD

I’ve spent my life dreaming of endless days on the beach collecting seashells. The sound of the waves crashing and the call of the Seagulls. The smell of the sea and the freshest air on earth. Living on the Sunshine Coast is a photographer’s dream come true. This is a day by the sea for me. Now I collect seashells, in print to be shared. — Heather Rule (Adams)

synchronicity festival Far from being just another festival, Synchronicity is a bold experiment in community building that gives us all a glimpse into our future today. Synchronicity is that moment in time when everything just feels connected. And while this feeling can be difficult to capture, the Synchronicity Festival is doing just that. We take the Sunshine Coast’s stunning rainforests and mountains, combine them with our world-class artists and acrobats, add some of our cutting-edge social entrepreneurs and innovators, toss in a few of our five-star chefs and artisans—and those connections simply start to happen. Taking place the weekend of August 23–25, the fourth annual Synchronicity Festival will feature the always popular Rainforest Circus (the 2013 “take a chance” version), more jaw-dropping art installations, world-class roaming musicians, delectable local food, a marketplace of social and creative entrepreneurs, and a host of new and exciting first-time collaborations, including: an art farm–inspired “Causeway of Chance,” a humanscale board game by Roberts Creek’s very own The Only Animal Theatre Company, and a Saturday Night Carnivale featuring shadow puppetry by Mind of a Snail Puppet Co. and funk music by Brown Paper Bag that’ll get you dancing under the stars. Adults, bring the kids! Kids, bring the adults! Soak in the sights and sounds of Synchronicity this summer, a unique Sunshine Coast event for all ages! Photography

Townsite Brewing
The Bavarian purity law of 1516 dictates that beer must be made with only four ingredients: water, barley, hops, and yeast. But for the folks at Townsite Brewing, the recipe isn’t complete without one more essential ingredient: community. Community and local resilience is not a new idea in Powell River. In fact, the town itself was founded on principles of the Arts & Crafts movement, a philosophy that correlates good design with good society and emphasizes craftsmanship. And the brewery’s artisan tradition doesn’t end with the beer; in fact, that’s just the beginning. Local artist Meghan Hildebrand is the main creative mind behind their artwork, creating the logo as well as label art that evokes the area’s culture and history. Community is also very important to Hildebrand, and she loves the fact that Townsite has woven it into their core values. “This is the best design job—I get to create the visual identity for a company that is truly local and committed to our community, for a product I love that makes people happy and proud to be here,” she said. “These are exciting times for Townsite and Powell River!” The brewery’s commitment to social responsibility also includes fundraising. Townsite donates one dollar from every filled growler to Powell River non-profits. The success of this program—to date it has raised more than $8,000—inspired the Townsite team to develop a similar program for the Sechelt Peninsula. “We are very proud of the growler program,” said Director of Sales, Michelle Zutz, “and have long discussed how to expand it along the Coast. The key for us is keeping it uniquely local, but growlers really don’t travel past the Saltery Bay ferry. However, our Suncoast Pale Ale is draughtonly and available only on the Sunshine Coast, so we decided to use that.” This new program, dubbed “Toast the Coast,” pledges ten cents to Sunshine Coast non-profits from every pint of Suncoast sold from Langdale to Earl’s Cove and runs from Victoria Day to Labour Day.

So don’t just break bread together, toast the Coast. Is there a more satisfying way to build community? Taps involved in the program are at the Backeddy, Lighthouse Pub, Ruby Lake Resort, the Gumboot, and Sita’s Spag Shack. The first recipient of the program is FUSE and the Hop Yard Collective.

pender harbour reading centre Although it was originally started in 1968, the Pender Harbour Reading Centre is still a well-kept secret to some. Located beside the School of Music and the Harbour Gallery in Madeira Park, the Reading Centre provides a recreational reading opportunity for residents of Pender Harbour, Egmont, and Secret Cove. It is operated by the non-profit Pender Harbour Reading Society, and all work is done by volunteers, who purchase and catalogue the books and provide service to the public several days a week. The volunteers also conduct regular story times for the Serendipity Preschool, in an effort to develop an appreciation for books among our very young readers. Recently, the Centre introduced computer tutorials—how to use the online catalogue, access Sechelt
28
Library, and download e-books and audio books. The Reading Centre’s collection contains fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and a complete set of Harbour Publishing’s books. The Board purchases books throughout the year, based on the interests of the majority of the members, and tries to fulfill special requests when possible. An interlibrary loan service is also available. The Centre accepts book donations, which are added to the collection, where appropriate and possible, or sold in book sales. Current funding is through small grants and cash donations, which are always welcome. Check out the Centre’s website at www.penderharbourlibrary.ca for hours and membership information and to preview recent additions to the collection. Better yet, visit the Reading Centre in person.

smiles of the sunshine coast
June 18, 2013, Roberts Creek Arts Festival, ZOOM photo booth at Nicospacraft, one of the festival venues: I asked festival-goers to smile for the camera and be part of this special photo spread. It was a simple, no-fuss photo setup, using available natural light, with camera in automatic mode. No mirror to check hair and makeup or to practise a smile. Not expecting good technical results, but wishing simply to capture people’s natural smiles. It was a fun experience meeting new people and taking their photos. It was fun to again relive the experience while putting together the layouts. I was smiling, too, throughout the entire task. Who wouldn’t when everyone is smiling back at you? — Edmund Arceo

the passion of krisztina harasztosi
As a child I was fond of two things: animals and painting. While neither of these interests led to a full-time career, they led me to a keen interest in photography. My husband and I moved from Hungary to Canada in 2007 to start a new life, and we eventually found ourselves on the Sunshine Coast last year. I felt that I had found home. I am amazed at the beauty that surrounds me . . . the mountains, the water, and the diversity of wildlife. I love taking walks and find smiling people everywhere. This is where my love for photography grew even more. I read all the books I found and tried all the techniques that appeared interesting. I have just not been able to stop exploring the possibilities that lie hidden in a camera. My work mostly includes wildlife photography. Birds have been a favourite subject. I also do landscapes with HDR (High Dynamic Range) techniques, time-lapsed star photography (night photography without flash), portraits, macro-photos, and slow-shutter art photography. My bird photographs are taken from a very close distance; I shoot with a relatively short lens (300 mm). I do not plan to change this, because taking photographs is more than art for me. I consider it an adventure to find and approach my “models,� getting as close to them as possible. I am especially fond of action shots. I learned the technique to take pictures and change spots quickly to preserve the fleeting moments that escape human eyes. I am looking forward to being able to exhibit my photographs in venues around the Coast. I know I will never grow up. I will always be the little girl who looks at the world with wide-eyed amusement, whether looking at a tiny bug or an approaching big bear. — Krisztina Harasztosi

earthly journeys
discovery
Catch Our Drift Earthly Journeys is a new experiential tourism company on the Sunshine Coast. An experiential tour, simply put, provides the opportunity to learn something by doing something with someone who lives here. A more in-depth view showcases this as responsible tourism. Catch Our Drift achieves responsibility on three levels. For the traveller, it is an opportunity to immerse oneself quickly in local culture in a hands-on and interactive way, which is both meaningful and enjoyable to the person experiencing it. For the community, there is the economic benefit of dollars being spent locally, but the real value is found in empowering community members to share their passions. It builds local pride and confidence and is also culturally sensitive, fostering respect between tourists and hosts. Understanding comes from knowing. For the environment, the journey guides have inspirational messages about life on Earth. One of the core elements of a Catch Our Drift journey is consciousness. This can be shared by guides in a variety of ways: recycling plastic taster spoons at the gelato shop, providing tips for building a “green” home or raising organic chickens, or working with a fine artist to really see a subject you’re working on; from learning how to find food in the forest to remembering your experience through sketches in your travel journal and through shared stories and conversations. Sunshine Coasters have so much wisdom to share, and this is a wonderful opportunity to tap into it. It can be deep or it can be subtle, and if you’re open to it, it will definitely be fun! Catch Our Drift Earthly Journeys provides unique local experiences to visitors on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. Journeys average two to three hours each and allow for quick immersion into the local culture. For more information, please visit www.catchourdrift.ca or call 604-740-2179.
