This Week:

Open water swimmer Rachel Schoeler made history on Saturday night when she completed a gruelling 35 km swim across the Strait of Georgia. The swimmable water advocate left Nanaimo on Saturday at 8 am and came ashore at Reception Point near Sechelt just before 8 pm the same day.

“I was so excited to see land and actually touch it,” the Salish Sea conqueror said, “It was hard to climb out onto the rocks, after being almost 12 hours in the water, it’s kind of hard to stand,” she explained.

Schoeler had plannied to end at Mission Point near Davis Bay.

“At about half way we thought we would make Misssion Point, but the currents changed and we ended up at Reception Point,” Schoeler

noted. “In the middle for about two and a half hours, we didn’t move anywhere … and every time we stopped for a break we actually moved backwards.”

She notes it took a lot of concentration to keep swimming. Scholer said her coach helped her accomplish the feat of endurance with mental as well as physical training.

“There was a tough point at the middle where I told my captain and crew not to talk to me about distance and time just so I could stay in the zone,” the UBC student shared.

Schoeler raised $17,000 so far for an awareness campaign with Fraser Riverkeepers advocacy group, through pledges for her swim.

“I think we reached a lot of people about water

quality issues.” Schoeler said.The team were glad for the calm seas and

mostly sunny skies. “It was huge to have the sun on my shoulders for most of the day,” she said.

The water was warm which was key, since she wasn’t wearing a wetsuit.

“I thought I would be colder but it wasn’t too bad,” Schoeler said. Open water swimmers crossing the English Channel adhere to a code where no wetsuits or aids be used during the swim, and that was something Schoeler wanted to do in keeping with the feats of other endurance swimmers.

Schoeler is only the second woman known to have swum across the Strait of Georgia, since Fran Cannon performed the feat in 1972. Apryl Veld

Sunshine Coast RCMP, Emergency Health Services and Gibsons Fire Depart-ment were dispatched to a report of a cable car accident in the 1500 block of Tideview Road in Langdale on Sunday afternoon.

Police said three people were injured after the cable broke, releasing the car

Cable car breaksapproximately 75 meters down the embankment. One of the passengers was able to jump off and sustained less serious injuries in com-parison to his counterparts, who sustained more serious injuries. The Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft attended the scene and transported all three passengers to Lang-

dale Ferry terminal, where they were then transported to Vancouver General Hospi-tal (VGH) by air ambulance. By Monday it was reported that two of the three victims had since been released from VGH, while the third victim remains in hospital in stable condition.Submitted

The District of Sechelt will shortly be hosting downtown WiFi with the project launch-ing on Labour Day.

A free internet signal will be provided to downtown Sechelt, the Sechelt Innova-tions Ltd (SIL)’s quarterly report noted, and that the estimated cost for the service is at $70,000. SIL is Sechlet District’s arm-length corpo-ration which is charged with helping grow business op-portunities via championing a variety of strategies and projects.

Proponents say the service will especially help tourists, who want to avoid roaming charges by using the free in-ternet while in Sechelt. But because many people have

Sechelt downtown gets free WiFi

internet-serviced mobile phones, and some cafes have on-site Wi-Fi services al-ready, the free WiFi might be mainly redundant.

“There’s two ways of looking at this, either we are spending unnecessary money,” a downtown Sech-elt restauranteur said, “or, what kind of service can this provide that would make it worthwhile?”

For example, the business owner explained, the BC Fer-ries WiFi takes users to a homepage which gives info about the ferry’s destination. It’s one more way to showcase the area’s assets and events to inform the visitor’s stay.

At the last District council meeting it was discussed and

the minutes reflect a desire from council to see monetary statistics, and where funds are going in terms of prod-ucts and services in Sechelt.

A District of Sechelt coun-cillor said he would like to see the WiFi service go for-ward in the best way possi-ble, since it’s been developed by the recently dissolved SIL board and board chair who had championed the project.

“It’s about trying to provide more (downtown internet) access to the community... but it’s maybe more (useful) to the tourist than the local,” District councillor Tom Lamb said, noting it would be most beneficial if it can entice visi-tors to stay in the area longer.Apryl Veld

Opening the door to new possibilities in the District of Sechelt

Come learn about the proposed New Zoning Bylaw

PUBLICINFORMATION

MEETINGThe District of Sechelt invites members of the public to attend an information meeting on the draft New Zoning Bylaw (No 530, 2014) that proposes to replace Zoning Bylaw 25, 1987.

Date of Meeting: Tuesday August 26, 2014

Time of Meeting:

Place of Meeting: Seaside Centre 5790 Teredo Street Sechelt, BC

Information regarding the proposed new bylaw is available on Sechelt.ca. If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact the District.

At the last regular council meeting, Town of Gibsons (TOG) council voted to tell Ottawa it wants Liquified Natural Gas tankers banned in Howe Sound, based on concerns about safety and interrupted ferry service for the Coast. The Town of Gib-sons motion tabled July 15 states, “LNG is soliciting in-terest to build an LNG export plant in Howe Sound, which will involve the passage of up to 40 LNG tankers annually in the Georgia Strait, which will interfere with existing ma-rine traffic, put at risk these ecologically important and sensitive inland waters, and negatively impact upland de-velopment along this route.”

Gibsons Councillor Lee Ann Johnson noted that Gib-sons has had ongoing discus-sions about the topic, includ-ing at regional forums where groups and authorities meet to discuss matters that can affect communities.

“Councillors have been participants in the Howe Sound Community Forum which are informal discus-sions,” Johnson emphasized.

She added that the key concerns about the tankers

Town of Gibsons rejects LNG plans

focus on the economic bur-den of having to reschedule ferry sailings that might coin-cide with tanker courses into Howe Sound, as there is a 1.5 km no-go zone around ves-sels carrying pressurize gas-ses. Other marine traffic, in-cluding recreational vessels would be required to stay miles away from the tankers as well.

These kind of disruptions will have a marked effect on the economy of the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island, Johnson opined.

“If we had to reschedule 40 ferries every year, that’s a lot of disruption for com-munities whose main source of transportation is the ferry,” Johnson said, adding that a large portion of Sunshine

Coast residents are employed on the Lower Mainland.

And what can complicate issues is that there’s a lot of jurisdictions which govern bodies of water and adjacent communities in Howe Sound including Squamish and Coast islands.

“Almost every level of government has some piece of the action,” Johnson ex-plained: “the province has the sea bed and the federal government looks after the salt water on top.”

There are also three re-gional districts and First Nations bands operating on Howe Sound’s shores.

The next regional get together for the Howe Sound Community Forum is October 3. Apryl Veld

The District of Sechelt heard on August 13 that it should fork over another $100,000 on top of the 20 million it has already budget-ed for the new sewage treat-ment plant at Surf Circle, in order to purchase alternative power kits.

Sechelt Council voted unanimously to buy solar panels to stem rising Hydro costs for the plant, and help meet the LEEDS Gold rating,

Solar panels needed for treatment plant - LEEDS gold rating

a Change Order document states.

“(Builder) Maple Reinders will prepare the tender and the District can evaluate the proposals. Maple Reinders will incur their own costs in preparing the tender, electri-cal work etc., and this will be part of the Change Order,” documents from water plant coordinator, Paul Nash said.

The cost breakdown on the Order presented to the

District’s Committee of the Whole, notes the $99,000 bill for solar panels includes the cost of, “supply and in-stallation by solar contrac-tor $75,000; Coordination by Maple Reinders $15,000; and Contingency 10 per cent $9,000.” Energy savings from the solar panels were cited to be $2,500 to $3,000 initially, but would rise with increas-ing hydro rates, Nash’s esti-mates stated.

Volume 12Issue 34

Coast Watch Garry NohrAugust is the month that directors and staff catch up on let-

ters and e-mails from constituents and read research materi-als to upgrade their knowledge on current SCRD issues. Mean-while directors will try to attend as many exciting activities as possible on the Coast—for example, the writers’ festival—as well as such official events as the public process for Bill 24 Agriculture Land Commission changes and the review of the Disaster Emergency Plan for the province.

In my weekly meetings with constituents, the main discus-sion continues to be about changes to recycling and the differ-ent requirements of the MMBC (Multi-material BC) agreement with the SCRD. Some people have expressed appreciation for the way the SCRD was doing recycling before, and this new system concerns them. They fear that more material will go to the landfill or, worse yet, to Crown Land. The staff, directors, and recyclers do not want this to happen and staff are negoti-ating with the resource-recovery centers to accept more than the MMBC materials. Some residents are concerned about the recyclers’ operation hours and find shortened hours incon-venient. This issue is a topic for further negotiations with the recyclers.

The SCRD water department has implemented Stage 2 (moderate), which restricts sprinkling to two mornings a week. If you are not sure about restrictions please check under www.scrd.ca/sprinkling-regulations. You can read informa-tion on different watering systems by using the link Drought Management Plan found on that page.

Other constituents are concerned about invasive plants on the Coast and what local governments are doing about eradi-cation. SCRD does not have a budget function to deal with this threat, but the staff are trying to get grants to help citizens remove this problem. An invasive plant workshop is sched-uled for September 9, 2014, and the public is welcome; please check the SCRD website or local papers for time and place.

Although BC Ferries is not a mandate of the SCRD, staff and directors have been working with the government to try to improve the situation concerning ticket costs or schedules. This summer, there have been many complaints about sailing delays and disruptions, and I am sure BC Ferries is also con-cerned. For more information about ferry concerns, contact Jef Keighley, Chair-BC Ferry Coalition 604-885-2290

I am getting complaints from cyclists and vehicle drivers about potholes and bumps on Hwy 101 and secondary roads. Problems with overgrown brush and grass along secondary roads are the responsibility of MOTI (Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure). In rural areas the roads and highway are not in the mandate of the SCRD, and inquiries should be directed to Capilano Highways.

Please contact me about any of these items or other con-cerns at 604-741-2427 or [email protected]. I am available for discussions at SCRD or in Halfmoon Bay at Welcome Beach Market on Tuesdays at 9:15 until 10 or the Halfmoon Bay store from 10 to 12 on Fridays.

Editorial feels hypocritical

I was taken aback by the “editorial” written by MP John Weston. Set aside the issues of LNG and local deci-sion-making, what astound-ed me was the hypocrisy. I find it difficult to believe that a member of this Conserva-tive government would state “industrial projects should be evaluated one by one, based on facts and science”. Where has Weston been?

This government has done all in its power to gut scien-tific research, muzzle Federal scientists and move away from science based decision-making.

It has gone to the extent of replacing fact with ideol-ogy limiting who can give evidence before regulatory bodies and even Commons Committees.

It looks to me there is a desperate attempt by Weston to “remake” himself with an election looming. Sorry John, your record of silence and conformity in all things Con-servative speaks for itself.Paul Johnston

Harbour hotelThe waterfront’s a rustic

mess, With some excep-tions, more or less. Taxes low and prices cheap, Bling and glamour, not too deep.Hotel is rising in mind’s eye, Brave developer, pie in sky. Economics are debated, In some quarters highly rated. Others say no one will come, The whole idea’s kind of dumb. Benefits and taxes doubted, Electioneering now is outed. Hotel is mounted like a steed, Stirring up both fear and greed. The nays are not about hotel,“Take Town Hall” is where they dwell. RC Nick, August 16, 2014

Council pans MM expansion

I would like to think that our present mayor and coun-cil have conducted “Due Dili-gence” regarding the applica-tions to establish Marihuana Grow Operations in Sechelt. It can’t possibly be enough knowledge of this “Indus-try” by merely having a vocal member of council as a direc-tor of one of the companies (Cannabis Ventures Inc.) ap-plying for a license. Could he give impartial counsel to council? The Canadian Secu-rities Commission on June 13 issued an Investors Alert urg-ing caution for those looking to invest in Marijuana stocks.

I often wonder if we the people make an “EXPLE-TIVE” mistake when we assume that the people in charge know what they are doing!Fin Anthony

Math skills comparedWhile recently traveling in

scenic New Zealand I met a friendly, interesting Russian couple from Moscow. The young man said he works as a communication computer programmer, and wife told me she’s employed in Mos-cow working on a math pro-gram for U.S. Schools. Ameri-can students will be using Russian mathematics sys-tems of teaching mathemat-ics. Why? According to a PISA 2011 math test for grade 8 students administered by the OECD, American students achieved a proficiency rate of 32 per cent ranking the U.S. as number 32 out of 65 na-tions. Compared to a 50 per cent or better proficiency rate in Canada. Education is important.Arnet Tuffs

Tax revenue not worth disruption

In response to John

Weston’s Editorial Opinion August 14, I reply that I don’t know exactly how to respond. I do know that I must ask why the Conservative Gov-ernment refuses to use plain common sense in this matter. Surely anyone can see that the proposal to ship danger-ous cargo between narrow passages and small islands in Howe Sound is craziness, no matter how much money the Government will make with taxes, or revenue from such a preposterous action.

Nature is strong, and any manmade structure is no match for waves, currents and earthquakes. Existing traffic and proximity to habi-tation is added risk. I ask you Mr. Weston, to act with Integrity; listen to your con-stituents’ concerns, and act in their interest!Sincerely,

ElderU would like to invite the Sunshine Coast commu-nity to attend our fall course preview on Thursday, August 28 from 10 am until noon at the Sechelt campus of Cap-ilano University.

The preview includes a short summary of the course “The Great War and Trans-formation of Canada” which has been created by popular presenter Keith Maxwell to commemorate the 100th an-niversary of the commence-ment of World War 1.

As well, ElderU will pre-view its 14 new and return-

ElderU Announces Preview of Fall Courses

Balancing airport usesMayor’s Message

John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt

I had an especially great weekend earlier in August. On August 8 and 9, I participated in my all-electric Tesla Road-ster, along with several other electric vehicles, in the Rod Run and Show N Shine. What a great event for Sechelt!

On August 10, Councillor Randy Joe of the Sechelt In-dian Band and I were thrilled to be part of the Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Associa-tion’s “Summer Showdown”

ing courses coming this fall for those aged 55 and older and the offerings will include Conversation Café, The His-tory of Readers and Read-ing, Law for Seniors, Shake-speare’s Villains, There’s More than Gold in Them Thar Hills, Lost Art of Oral Story Telling, Introduction to the Science of Forestry, History of Choral Music, Adventures in Travel, Hot Topics, Are You or Will You Become A Caregiver, and Artist in the Home.

ElderU is a community of individuals aged 55 plus with a zest for learning and

exploring life as we continue to broaden our horizons into our senior years. We offer a wealth of courses and activi-ties throughout the year to

the Sunshine Coast commu-nity most of which are avail-able at just $40 each.

If you are under age of 55 and would like to take one of

at Sechelt Airport. The “Hen-derson vs. Joe” challenge race pitted my orange Tesla against Randy’s cherry-red gas-powered muscle car, a Ca-maro ZL1. We enjoyed several races against each other, each time taking a young passenger with us. At the end of the day, Randy’s best time was 9.1 sec-onds and mine was 8.5, for the one-eighth mile track. The big winner was the Sechelt Food Bank – thanks to the Band and District staff plus attendees at the Drag Race for donating $1,550 to this very important cause.

The Race also gave me the opportunity to announce that drag racing will be able to con-tinue at the airport even after we have scheduled air service on an extended runway. (It had been suggested that fed-eral government regulations would prevent drag racing but the District has recently confirmed that other certified airports in Canada accommo-date both.) This is great news! Our community has the op-tion to continue with this great event while working to offer new and more conve-nient transportation options

opportunities. And, it can (and must) be done in way that maintains our quality of life and without requiring on-going operational subsidies from Sechelt taxpayers. On Saturday, September 13, all Coast residents are invited to attend an Information Meet-ing and BBQ at Sechelt Air-port. (Watch for further de-tails soon.) During the event, there will be presentations from industry professionals on the potential benefits that the Airport will provide to our community. It will also be an opportunity to learn

to connect the Coast with the off-Coast world.

The challenges of being a ferry dependent community have, again, been evident this summer. Having scheduled air services as a reliable and time efficient alternative to ferry travel is essential to support our existing com-munity and to help build our future. Our airport is an important community asset that we need to use to our best advantage. An expand-ed runway will expand the Coast’s transportation op-tions and add new business

Sechelt Council gave first reading to a new Zoning By-law, a key regulatory bylaw that defines land use in the municipality, on August 6. The public will have an op-portunity to review, discuss and ask questions about this proposed new bylaw at a Public Information meeting on Tuesday, August 26 from 6:30pm to 8pm at the Seaside Centre. This is the first step in the public review process, designed to give information and gather public input in advance of the formal Public Hearing and the additional three readings of the bylaw at future regular Council meet-ings. The meeting will begin as an open house, where indi-viduals will be able to discuss the proposed bylaw contents with staff. This will be fol-lowed by an information presentation highlighting the changes the new legislation proposes and a question and answer period.

Sechelt’s existing Zoning Bylaw was adopted in 1987.

Proposed New Zoning BylawThe new draft aims to bring zoning into line with the community’s 2010 Official Community Plan (OCP), to update the bylaw to reflect current and anticipated land use realities and to make the community’s zoning regula-tions easier to understand.

A major change in the pro-posed in the new Bylaw is a reduction in the number of zones in the residential, com-mercial and industrial zones. The new bylaw has a total of 24 zoning designations, com-pared to 53 existing zones. This reduction simplifies the zoning/land use map, which is included in the bylaw. There are new distinct Light Industry/ Business Park and heavy industry zones, as well as an Airport zone.

More descriptive defini-tions are included in the new bylaw text to provide a great-er level of detail for the bylaw users. General provisions that apply to all zones have been clarified. Tables, ratios and illustrations are used to

more clearly convey informa-tion related to building sizes, heights, lot coverage, etc.

New provisions have been added to regulate uses, such as laneway housing, shipping containers, wineries, etc., which have emerged since the enactment of the exist-ing Zoning Bylaw (1987). District Planning, Building and Bylaw Enforcement staff collaborated, with the help of planning consultants Susan Stratis, Michael Rosen and Michael Vance, to craft a new bylaw that addresses regu-latory issues and concerns with existing legislation and that better meets the current and future needs of the com-munity.

The draft has been re-viewed with Council and has been referred to a number of community organizations and other regulatory agen-cies for their comment in ad-vance of the statutory Public Hearing. Apryl Veld

On a different topic, mu-nicipal elections across Brit-ish Columbia will be held on November 15. This is your opportunity to step forward and help guide the growth and development of your community. Speaking on be-half of myself and the other members of your Council, we welcome the opportunity to speak with anyone who has an interest in getting in-volved in this very important democratic opportunity.

Looking to the past is often dismissed in favour of mov-ing forward and starting new chapters. But as the old adage goes, history repeats itself. In this sense, studying the past is essential to avoiding past mistakes, but also essential to repeating past successes.

One instance where look-ing back can be useful is when it comes to local agri-culture. As more and more information surfaces about the merits of local eating, we find ourselves looking into

the Sunshine Coast’s agricul-tural history. The Sunshine Coast was never a major ag-riculture zone for a few rea-sons. Firstly, as we all know, the primary industries were logging and fishing. Indeed, much of the farming that took place in this region his-torically was “subsistence farming,” which means that it occurred to keep settlers alive during the fishing and logging off-seasons. Secondly, as the Lower Mainland devel-oped its farming capabilities during the early twentieth century, Coast markets just couldn’t compete. By examining agricultural history we can see that the

Coast has a history of locally-based farming, kept alive by the various farmer’s markets throughout the Sunshine Coast, particularly in the summer. So, what crops were traditionally successful? In particular, berry farms, such as those that fuelled the Howe Sound Cooperative Cannery. With the recent success of the Gibsons’ Public Market and plans to recre-ate a canning cooperative on the coast, history is alive and well in the local food move-ment. This year, plant a few strawberries and grow a lit-tle history in your backyard. Emma Green

This summer’s three-day Synchronicity Festival is fea-turing a professional stage with live bands, along with the circus, and arts events all weekend, August 22 to 24. There’s a lot of fun for everyone, says one of the organizers.

“We program it so there’s always something going on,” notes self-described festival lover, Arwen MacDonald. Fri-day at 5pm sparks the first

Outdoor music and circus fest at GibsonsRainforest Circus experience in the wooded perimeter of Shirley Macey Park on Cham-berlin Road. Then you can be mesmerized by this unique event Saturday and Sunday at scheduled times through-out the days.

Music won’t take a back stage, so you can get your feet lifted throughout the week-end by some great bands with a variety of beats. Belt out your faves with Captain

Numbnuts - the Human Juke-box Friday at 6 and Saturday at 5pm.

Synchronicity’s name is about sharing and getting to know community MacDon-ald notes, and that they want everyone to have a good time, meet people and take in stuff that suits their interests.

Everyone can enjoy live mural painting at the art stations, bat or owl house building workshops, soap

felting. See demos for car alternatives, small homes, yoga, mushrooming and bee-keeping. There will be food and refreshment vendors and even a libation station to keep you fed and watered.

After an inspiring three days of biblio-immersion, the Festival of the Written Arts roared to a close on Sunday with audiences giving Jane Davidson a resounding ap-plause for her fabulous Festi-val production. Then all were treated to performances of three esteemed Spoken Word authors, who rebounded the energy of the full house at Rockwood Centre in Sechelt.

Vancouver’s celebrated au-thor/slam poet and musician, Brendan Mcleod recognized the Festival audience as a key part of the performance.

“I think what people some-times take for granted is how big a part of the experience the audience is, and so I think tonight everyone comes open here, like (they’re) ready to rock, and to give a lot to the people on stage” Mcleod said, “so when you take it up ten notches everyone has a really good experience.”

He gave a self-deprecating charm to his guitar-accom-panied poems that kept the evening sparking with dark humour and folk melodies.

This was answered by an-other popular slam poet, Jil-lian Christmas, whose tender and tough poetry resounded with rhythmic climbs and descents that bravely and gracefully unveil her point of view. Christmas was excited for the event and praised Davidson for adding Spoken Word to the program.

“It’s good to have these

Spoken word brings fireworks to Fest

different pools of experience and forms of expression,” the winning slam poet said, “and it is great to absorb what was happening in the festival.”

Christmas tours regularly with a band and an artistic partner Chelsea Johnson: “We do a mash up of spoken word and soul music,” she says.

Christmas is in her second year as artistic director of Verses Festival. “I get to bring all these amazing poets from across Canada and celebrate poetry on Commercial Drive (in Vancouver,)” the award-winning poet explained, notes, “it’s just eight days of poetic beauty.”

Last but not least, the Spo-ken Word performance heard Zaccheus Jackson bring his witness of life’s stone paths

and a sky’s heights of ris-ing from difficult situations to stinging poetic reflection. Jacksons verses sometimes plumbed his Haisla territory-carved childhood, and his connection to youth in the spoken arts.

Jackson along with Mcleod have been sharing a Poet in Residence status at Sunshine Coast high schools including Pender Harbour. Jackson said this is something he feels stoked about.

“I love working with youth, and the Sunshine Coast has some who are very free-thinking and engaging,” Jack-son said. He notes he’s been taking his slam poetry to a more enhanced level with touring the past few years as well as working with five other spoken word artist on

an organization called Word Play, a program that he says helps put slam poets into classrooms, “to help foster a love of poetry and freedom of expression in youth.”

They host an inter-high school poetry slam fes-tival that happens every April called Hullabaloo, that’s grown exponentially from four to now having 20 schools come to Vancouver and show off and meet oth-ers, he explained.

“It’s a perfect endgame for students to use the skills they’ve been learning,” Jack-son notes. They’re hoping to see a Sunshine Coast team come together to compete at the festival, Jackson said.

Why refinish?Whether you’ve had hard-wood floors for a long rime or just discovered them under old carpeting, you’ve probably considered refinishing them. Waxing and/or buffing often provides a good shine but refinishing the floor is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood.

What used to be the “gold-en years” of life for seniors is now turning into any op-portunity to spend even more time with their young-est family members. Nowa-days, a growing number of grandparents are called on to provide childcare for their grandkids, many of whom are growing up in two-in-come households. Others are helping to raise grandkids while providing financial as-sistance for adult children who may not be able to live on their own.

This trend has been cor-roborated in a few recent studies. The not for profit Generations United, an in-tergenerational policy group, found that 74 percent of re-spondents provided weekly child care or babysitting ser-vice for grandkids.

Grandparents often cite helping their own children financially as well as staying in touch with grandchildren as motivating factors behind providing care. According to Generations United, stay-ing in touch with grandkids can give seniors a feeling of self-worth and improve their overall health.

When spending so much time together, grandparents may develop special relation-

Bond between grandparents and grandkids benefits both

ships with their grandchil-dren, who may benefit from the knowledge and wisdom offered by their elders. The following are some lessons grandparents can share with youngsters. Empathy: By sharing sto-ries of how things were when they were younger, when op-portunities may have been more scarce, grandparents can help teach grandchil-dren empathy. Grandchildren may learn to be grateful for the things they have and the people around them, rather than taking what they have for granted. Family history: Grand-parents can tell grandchil-dren about family members, including youngsters’ own parents, and shed light on the generations that came before them. Looking through pho-tos or watching old movies can provide the avenue by which to start conversations about family history and give children opportunities to ask questions. Interests: Children may be excited about learning new skills or hobbies taught to them by their grandpar-ents. Anything from garden-ing to woodworking can be shared. Respect: Children who

grow up respecting their grandparents may have an increased tendency to re-spect authority figures out-side their homes, which may help kids grow up to be more courteous and kind.

Grandchildren also offer benefits to their grandpar-ents. Companionship, new experiences and conversa-tion can help keep grandpar-ents’ minds sharp and bodies active well into their golden years. Metro

Horoscope

MichaelO’Connor Astrologer

Tip of the Week:As summer rages on it is

esThe Sun enters Virgo on August 22 at 9:46 pm PDT. This marks the official last month of summer which ends on September 22nd, Autumn Equinox. This time can accurately be called ‘Vir-go time’. Due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis we experience the seasons - elementary. This system of Astrology has been in operation for about 2000 years, it was created to work this way. It can be described as a system of As-trology linked to the Sun’s light and, by extension, the seasons. It can also be inter-preted the other way around. What this tells us is that the nature of the sign is directly linked to the ‘time of the year’.

The Zodiacal constella-tions, while still recognized, are not the basis of this sys-tem. This has been clarified many times yet some people seem unable or unwilling to understand that Western Tropical Astrology is founded upon the seasons and the Sun’s light. The orbital cycles of the planets within the con-text of this annular rhythm represent the variable factor of overlapping cycles. Like basic arithmetic, Western As-trology features a relatively fixed common denominator and variables.

Despite repeated efforts to explain this basic model, it remains that every now and then someone emerges to credulously proclaim that Astrology ‘is out of whack’, as if they are cracking the code on some global conspiracy, because it does not defer to the Zodiacal Constellations. It is also remarkable to see how many people idly fall for it, without even trying to truly understand what they were so easily convinced to believe. This tendency can be witnessed in other areas where news and information is openly shared with the public and does not only ap-ply to the logical basis of the model of Western Astrology.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Although the languor of

summer may linger, you are ready to get to business. Your tanks may be pretty full but you may want to get some ex-tra reserves. Yet, your focus is beginning to take a more sober and serious turn. This will become increasingly evi-dent this week. With aware-ness of this transition you can strike the balance and have it all.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)Transferring inspiration

into actual creative expres-sion and/or genuine feelings of compassion and desires to serve and heal continues. Heart opening experiences are flooding your senses. Feeling confident that you can or that your expressions will be well received may be

an issue. Affirm that if you do it with, for and through love you will succeed.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)A cycle of rises and falls

and of dramatic turns contin-ues. These are forcing you to make choices and efforts you would prefer not to. Yet cir-cumstances are compelling you to make certain sacri-fices. It is important that you be willing to work it this way for a while. Yet, you may also feel the need for guidance, in-struction and/or trainin

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Just when you might have

thought things would slow down, they are accelerat-ing. Suddenly you have more work and errands and details to attend to. It remains likely that you are open to invest, to take a few risks. Yet, you want to be informed. So, this is high on your ‘to do’ list, to ask questions and, more im-portantly, to get answers.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)All being well, you have

begun to take some key ini-tiatives over the past few weeks, to make some real power moves. Now it is time to bring more practical and constructive critical analysis to the fore. The main objec-tive is to be effective and to save time and money too, and to advance all the same. Listen well now, think twice, and buy later.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)The Sun in your sign sug-

gests your have entered an important cycle inviting you to take some pioneering ini-tiatives. What these are spe-cifically depends on your cir-cumstances. Either way, the more willing you are to see yourself, others, current re-alities and what you feel you need to do from new angles and perspectives, the better. Try something new!

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)An expansive cycle with

increased social opportunity has begun. Yet you may sud-denly feel the need to pull back for a while. The main point is to rest and re-cen-ter. Your ambitions will not cease. Rather, you will be able to pursue them from a clear-er and more energized state. Some amount of social activ-ity remains a good idea, just less for a while.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)It is likely that you have

successfully attracted more attention over the past few weeks. Hopefully it is the kind you want. Beyond sim-ply getting seen, you also have wanted to be heard, to clearly get a few key points across. Now the results of your efforts will really begin to come in. They will guide you to your next set of strat-egies, which you are already keen to assert.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) If you have been waiting for a window of opportunity to make your next big move

then get excited because it has arrived. There is reason to say you are still on some-thing of a high but are now coming back down to earth (sigh). Making the most of it includes taking stock of your gifts, talents, skills and resources and making these available to be recognized.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) You are in the mood to go

big somehow. To this end you have been busily edu-cating yourself and getting the facts. This learning curve focus continues and will for a few weeks yet. It remains likely that to succeed you have to enlist the talent and resources of others. Weaving your own special talents with theirs remains the key.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)The time has come to

deepen your focus. This in-

cludes investigation, research and perhaps meditation or deepened concentration. De-termining what you have to use, share and trade and per-haps what you believe you are worth is one aspect. The other includes deciphering what you feel you need. Get clear on both accounts for in-creased success.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Focusing to increase your

overall state of health has been a central theme these past few weeks. This could extend to your work as well as to your constitution. Now it is time to extend your reach to engage with others. It is likely that communica-tions to this end have already begun. Now it is time for the next phase which includes decisions and commitments.
