A cougar, looking cautious but comfortable, sits in a backyard tree near the Lower Gibsons residence of Doug Dyment, who took this photo June 8. By night-fall the big cat had disappeared. Dyment’s encounter was just one of several in the southern area of the Coast reported on social media in the past week, including one in which a llama was killed in the Henry and Reed Roads area, and dragged into nearby woods. Cougars rarely attack adult humans, but can be a threat to children and domestic animals and pets. DOUG DYMENT PHOTO

Would-be home buyers on the Sunshine Coast are opting to buy vacant lots if they can’t find what they want among the few detached homes for sale, figures from the sizzling local market suggest.

“We had more vacant lots sold in May than were sold in the entire year of 2014,” said Gary Little, an agent with Royal LePage Sussex. “That’s 78 vacant lots sold in May, a huge number.

“To avoid having to com-promise on what they want, buyers may choose to build instead,” Little said. “We could have a building crunch here in a few months. If all the builders are busy, then what do you do?”

The relatively low current inventory of about 250 de-tached homes reflects a mar-ket that is continually setting new records.

“The last three months have been the busiest ever,” said Little. “It’s quite amaz-ing, actually.”

In the first five days of June alone, there were 49 resi-dential sales, a higher pace than the first week in the re-cord-setting months of May and April.

Not surprisingly, the low supply and high demand are rocketing detached home prices to record heights. The

median price in May was up to $509,500, nearly 40 per cent higher than in May 2015. (The median is the market’s mid-point, with half the properties either above or below that price.)

Not surprisingly, there’s little incentive for sellers to give much away.

“There are quite a few sales that are going over ask-ing price,” said Little, while those sellers who are willing to negotiate are only having to drop their prices by about one per cent to get a deal done.

Properties also are spend-ing a median 20 days on mar-

Hot market for lotsket before purchase. “That’s pretty quick,” said Little. In October 2013, that number was 55 days.

“You look at the low dis-count from asking prices and you look at the days on mar-ket going down, these are all strong indicators of a very strong market for sellers,” he added.

“It’s a great market if you’re a seller; it’s a really horrible market if you’re a buyer. It’s just the reverse of the last two years,” Little said. “I act for a lot of buyers. They lose out on multiple-offer situations. That really grinds on you.” Rik Jespersen

A public hearing will be held July 5 to deal with a re-zoning application for phase three of the Parkland de-velopment in Gibsons, which could include a natural innov-ation that would potentially save the community a mas-sive investment.

The Parkland developer, Reed Road Developments Ltd., has applied to change the zoning designation of part of the property from Single Family and Two-Family Resi-dential Zone 3 to Small Lot Cottage Residential zone. The Small Lot Cottage Residen-tial zone would allow small-

scale, primarily single-family development at a density of approximately 25 units per hectare.

The rezoning also calls for the relocation of a retention pond, which would be zoned Parks, Recreation and Open Space.

The pond—originally in-tended as a temporary re-tention area—collects water from “significant rainfall events” which is released at a controlled rate into Charman Creek, Gibsons Director of En-gineering Dave Newman told Council at its June 7 meeting.

The Town had faced the prospect of having to build a $4-million storm sewer from the Payne Rd. subdivision to North Road and down School Road to the ocean. But that would have stymied develop-ment, as it was simply “too rich for the Town or any in-

Gibsons’ subdivision goes to hearingdividual developer,” Newman said.

With an eye to natural asset management planning, Town staff are now looking at mov-ing the pond a short distance east, enhancing it with paths and vegetation, and making it permanent.

“We are going to be coming up with a natural solution in-stead of the $4-million pipe solution,” said Newman.

Town staff also negotiated a $60,000 contribution from the developer to go to the Town's Affordable Housing Reserve Fund.

The rezoning application passed first and second read-ing at the June 7 meeting. The hearing will be held Tuesday, July 5 at 6:45pm in the Coun-cil chamber.

On the evening of June 10, RCMP divers in the Malibu Rapids on the Sunshine Coast recovered the body of the young man who fell into the water near that location two days earlier. The 16 year-old male slipped and fell into the water on the afternoon of June 8, and had been the sub-ject of an extensive search.

The RCMP's Underwater Recovery Team, working in conjunction with West Coast Marine Services, used a re-motely operated underwater vehicle equipped with Sonar to search the area around the Malibu Rapids, at the mouth of Princess Louisa Inet. After making the discovery with So-nar, the team had to wait for slack tide at the narrows be-fore recovering the body late

Body found at Malibu Rapidsin the day. The BC Coroner's Service was notified and also attended the area.

“This is a very sad outcome to this search,” said Cst Har-rison Mohr with Sunshine Coast RCMP. “Our hearts go out to this young man's family, friends, and fellow campers. This is the news no one was wanting to hear. At the same time, we truly hope that this will help his family to find some closure and to move a little bit closer to having peace in their lives again.”

Sunshine Coast RCMP would like to thank everyone who assisted in this complex search, which was made espe-cially challenging by the iso-lated location and changing conditions.

In a June 9 Local report regarding a notice-on-title on a Sechelt property, it was stated that District staff sought a legal opinion on the building inspector’s jurisdiction. In fact, the officials made the deter-mination that the inspect-or does have jurisdiction without having to seek a legal opinion.

Concerns from BC Parks have forced a one-year de-lay in construction of a pipe deep into Chapman Lake to supply water to the Coast during drought emergencies, the Sunshine Coast Regional District Board of Directors has been told.

Officials from AECOM Canada Ltd., which has been contracted to install the pipe, told the SCRD’s Infra-structure Committee June 9 that the main reason for the delay is an unexpected requirement from BC Parks for more information on the environmental impact of the construction project. As Chapman Lake is situated in Tetrahedron Provincial Park, it comes under the jurisdic-tion of BC Parks, a branch of the provincial environment ministry.

AECOM planned to have the pipe installed by the end of this coming Septem-ber, and had anticipated the BC Parks approval by April 29. “That did not happen,” company engineer Brett de Wynter told the committee.

De Wynter said AECOM was not notified by BC Parks until early in the week of June 6, “that approvals would not be coming in time” for con-struction this summer.

“BC Parks is not really comfortable with the fact that most of the data relied on was collected back in 1998,” AECOM’s Bruce Ford told the committee. “They’re asking for more recent data to be incorporated into the

environmental component of the submission.”

The 200-metre pipe, which will lie beneath the channel leading from the lake, will penetrate the lake at a depth of eight metres. The SCRD currently draws to a depth of three metres. District staff say they would only use the pipe as a last resort in times of impending drought.

Although we have had more rain than by this time in 2015, officials have pre-pared a temporary siphoning system to draw deeper into Chapman Lake if drought conditions re-develop this year.

AECOM now hopes for BC Parks approval of the pipe project by this November, which would enable comple-tion by the end of September 2017.

Delays aside, the AECOM officials were taken to task by the committee for the way the company has handled public consultation about the project overall.

Elphinstone (Area E) Dir-ector Lorne Lewis, who is on record as opposing the pipe project, told the company officials that his constituents had been “totally ignored in this process.

“But I’m glad to hear you now have an extra year to get a hold of us,” Lewis said.

Board Chair Garry Nohr, Director for Halfmoon Bay (Area B), commended some aspects of the communica-tion strategy, but also criti-cized the lack of consultation

Water emergency project delayed a yearwith the Coast’s rural areas.

“An opportunity has been missed here that you might want to correct,” Nohr told the AECOM representatives. “There are a lot of myths out there, a lot of misinformation [about the project].”

SCRD Chief Administrative Officer Janette Loveys said the issue would have to be discussed.

“We need to revisit the public participation program that was developed in the context of this [AECOM] con-tract,” Loveys told the com-mittee.

Lewis later asked Loveys if the extra time the construc-tion was going to take would affect the project’s cost, budgeted at about $5 million.

“We’re looking at the con-tract and evaluating that, and staff will report back to the Board any financial implica-tions,” Loveys said.

Editorial Opinion

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

Summer camp checklistThe summer months can be a challenging time for working

parents with young children. While the school year provides supervision and structure, summer break leaves parents in a conundrum – though they want to be available to supervise and spend time with their children, parents often don’t have that luxury during working hours.

Alternatively, many parents are also available during the summer months, but want to provide their child with a nurturing and educational experience, imparting life skills and a chance for their child to socialize with peers during the school downtime.

With camp season quickly approaching, the Canada Safety Council would like to remind parents to do their research, above all else.

In addition to provincial and federal safety guidelines, some summer camps seek out accreditation with the Canadian Camping Association (CCA,) a non-profit national organization that sets standards to meet and sometimes exceed the legal minimum. Parents should keep an eye out for this accreditation when researching an appropriate summer venue for their child.

Here are a few more safety pointers to ensure you’re getting the most value for your money and the best camp experience for your child:• Ensure that camp counsellors and/or leaders are made aware of any health issues relating to your child. • Find out what kind of training and accreditation the camp counsellors receive. Certification in first aid and CPR should be present in most cases, with more specific duties requiring more specific training.• Ask about the ratio of counsellors to campers. According to the CCA, summer camps should have a counsellor- to-camper ratio of eight to one or better (not including maintenance, office and support staff.)• Find out what kind of activities they will be doing. Naturally, some activities are inherently riskier than others – a gymnastics camp, for instance, will probably naturally result in more injuries than a computer camp. But additionally, choosing a camp that interests your child will help make sure they’re engaged in the activities. This will result in far less potential injuries than if a child is disinterested or not paying attention.• Will the campers be doing any water activities? If so, ask about life jackets, the supervision policies in the water, and if all instructors are trained in CPR.

“Bare minimum”I’m dismayed by the su-

preme lack of action the SRCD has shown on the Chapman Creek Drinking Watershed private prop-erty file. The landowner (Surespan of North Van) continues to make a mock-ery of the SCRD administra-tion’s mandate to conserve our drinking watershed by ongoing clearcut logging on steep forested lands above Chapman Creek.

I’m particularly con-cerned that Board Chair Garry Nohr, sitting as a Board member since 2005, has not shown sufficient leadership to know what a priority is when it comes to watershed management. As the current Board Chair it appears that he’s done the bare minimum to secure these private lands even though he keeps reassur-ing the public of the SCRD concerns over logging in the drinking watershed.

A simple measure such as informing Surespan of the intent to purchase these private lands, with a set of conditions, was never made. When Surespan first acquired the lands from CanFor a few years ago the SCRD could have stepped up and purchased them, but let Surespan take them. In 2014, when Surespan started logging in earnest, the SCRD could have obtained an as-sessment on the land value to present an offer - but never did, and still hasn't.

As the Board Chair, Mr. Nohr needed to re-shuffle priorities on the watershed file for the past two years. In my opinion, he has failed on all accounts, and thus has compromised the public’s drinking watershed now, and for years to come.

“Bitterly divisive”(Re “The George Claims

‘Overwhelming Support’ …The George makes its sales pitch,” The Local, June 2)

I was faintly surprised to read that the George public relations consultant claims “overwhelming support” for the waterfront-stealing con-do development proposal in Gibsons.

In the history of our town, no issue has been as bitterly divisive in the community as the spectre of the George colossus.

But I suppose they might be taking a page from Jo-seph Goebbels, who infam-ously said: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep re-peating it, people will even-tually come to believe it.”

But do you believe it?J.E. Hammill, Gibsons

CompetitionOh, great. Now they’re go-

ing to start selling. Small business owners

(B&Bs in particular), who’ve invested their time and equity can currently work for more than minimum wage renting out their extra suite – these small busi-nesses are going to be vast-ly reduced because of The George’s endless supply of brand new rooms with brand new views (stolen from everyone to be rented out to those who will hand over money to The George).

As a B&B owner with one space, it only takes one cus-tomer to decide to stay at The George for my business to suffer.

Progress? Loss of special character of Gibsons. Loss of views we all share now.Pressure on resources we all share, such as the aquifir.Small B&B businesses go out of B&B business. New jobs, minimum wage. All the profits funnelled into one man’s pocket.

The George is not giving

to the community. It’s tak-ing away from it.

"Sinister"Volunteering in the Gib-

sons Waterfront Defense Association (GWDA) office has allowed me the oppor-tunity to meet many friend-ly and positive people in-terested in discussing the future of our community.

But on Friday, June 3 I was shaken when a “gentleman” strode into the office with the intention of intimidat-ing me. The man arrived immediately after other members of the GWDA had left and I was alone in the office. He already had his cell phone aimed and pro-ceeded to take a video of me without my permission. When I offered my hand to introduce myself, he re-fused to take it and instead said, “Oh, we know who you are”, and hastily scurried from the building.

Because of the sinister aspect of the encounter, I called the RCMP. The at-tending officer informed me that intimidation is a form of assault, and that seemed right. I gave them a full de-scription of the individual.

I am saddened that any-one has to resort to coward-ly intimidation instead of engaging in civil communi-cation. Please know: we will not be intimidated.

Blue Flag standardIn a recently published

letter (“Hoodwinked?”, the Local, June 9) Judith Ham-mill questions whether Gib-sons Marina is worthy of the prestigious Blue Flag award. We assure you it is.

All Blue Flag marinas around the world must meet the same 22 impera-tive criteria. Prior to re-ceiving the award, Environ-mental Defence visits the

site and conducts a feas-ibility study. We identify where the marina is meet-ing the criteria, and where improvements are required. In addition, we audit the marina at least once a year (we’ll be visiting later this summer), and marinas must re-apply for the certification annually. These processes ensure Blue Flag marinas consistently meet the strict standards.

I cannot speak to the in-tentions of the developer for other areas of the town, but Gibsons Marina meets the Blue Flag standard.

Weeds update(Re “It’s a ‘weed-related

emergency’”, the Local, May 26)

The story identifies Jen-nifer Grenz as the Executive Director of the Invasive Spe-cies Council of Metro Van-couver, which is incorrect. She is a former employee and worked for us up until August, 2015. She was not representing us during her presentation last month in your region. Jen is now working as a private con-tractor/expert.

Coast WatchGarry NohrChair Sunshine Coast Regional District and Repesentative for Halfmoon Bay, Area B

The SCRD is moving for-ward on a plan to have an emergency supply of water from Chapman Lake in a drought situation. To do so, staff are waiting for the final permits from the provincial government. As this has taken some time, we will have to wait until next year to do the construction on the Chapman Lake channel.

This year a siphon system will be put in place in case of a drought situation. The siphon system will draw water from the lake to trav-el the length of the channel and past the present dam to keep a flow going down the creek. When construction starts, a temporary dam will be built at the begin-ning of the present channel to hold back water in the lake until the drawdown project is completed. One large pipe will be buried under the channel. The ma-

terials excavated during the project will be used later to cover the pipe, leaving the channel as it was before construction. Once this is completed, the temporary dam will be removed and the original drawdown system used until facing a drought situation. In that scenario, the SCRD would be able to draw water down to the depth of the buried pipe. The lake is very deep but the SCRD only has per-mits to use the top three metres year-round and an additional five metres if there is a drought, for a total of eight metres.

The SCRD is going to have an AAP (Alternate Approval Process) to borrow the $5 million for this project. The public will decide if they wish to pay the cost over 30 years or five, as local gov-ernment must have com-munity approval for any borrowing over five years. Just to be clear, funding of the expansion project is al-ready agreed upon; if the 30-year model is defeated, the construction will still go ahead under the five-year

option. After a lengthy consul-

tation process in 2013, the Comprehensive Regional Water Plan (CRWP) was passed. A focus of the plan was to implement a con-servation program, and one option was for the SCRD to install water meters. Water metering will help the SCRD improve leak detection and inform users about their water consumption. The process of repairing leaks will not change: the SCRD will repair leaks to their waterlines and residents will be responsible for lines on their properties. Water rates will not change this year, as SCRD staff will first focus on identifying and informing residents of any leaks. After gaining a bet-ter understanding of actual water consumption SCRD, with the help of a specialist, will have a public consulta-tion process about a new rate structure.

Please contact me at 604-741-2427 or e-mail me at [email protected] if you wish to discuss SCRD pro-grams or plans.

Mayor’s Message

Bruce Milne Mayor, District of Sechelt

When in government, whether local, provincial or federal, it often seems that we are always focused on what is wrong with the world: What needs fixing? How do we improve? Can’t somebody do something about our problems? While making the world a better place is the reason most peo-ple choose to serve in public life, it is equally important to recognize our achievements and celebrate the positive.

This is a time of year for celebrations, from Solstice to school graduations, from Pride events to Canada Day. We are excited about our 30th Anniversary celebra-tion event, planned for the evening of Canada Day. A free outdoor concert will be hosted at Rotary Friendship Park starting at 8pm and with a fireworks finale over Trail Bay. Bring your lawn chairs/beach blankets for seating and enjoy an evening of family friendly fun (for the safety and comfort of all, no

pets please). Another District initiative,

among the most important for our future, is the current initial consultation on our Development Cost Charges (DCC) review. DCCs are charges levied on new de-velopment to help ensure the District’s transportation, drainage, parks and waste-water infrastructure are built to meet the demands of community growth. The first step in setting DCC rates is estimating commu-nity growth over the next 20 years and projecting how our infrastructure (roads, sewer and drainage mains etc.) will need to ‘grow’ as a result. Then, looking at the costs of the projects needed, DCC rates are set by Bylaw to collect appropriate funding from new development for their share of new or expand-ed central capital projects.

This review of population growth, infrastructure needs and fees to charge needs the input of residents. Sechelt is growing and will continue to do so. DCC rates need to be updated to ensure they are current, fair and adequate to meet the needs of the com-munity. However, an impor-

tant consideration is the level and type of growth we want as a community, as this will impact our future infrastruc-ture needs and costs.

Setting DCC rates is a bal-ancing act. More limited growth means fewer de-mands on our infrastruc-ture from new residents but also means lower numbers of development units shar-ing those costs. With more growth and thus more capital projects to service a larger population, both the new development numbers and the costs will be higher. As infrastructure improvements benefit the community at large, the existing communi-ty also contributes funding to these projects. Growth proj-ects will have impacts for our ‘share’ of costs, which will come from the District’s capi-tal budget and general prop-erty taxes for all residents.

Council needs your in-put into this review of the costs and benefits of growth in Sechelt. More details on growth projections and proposed projects related to growth, as well as a com-ment form, are available on Sechelt.ca (click on the DCC Review icon).

For years kids have had their own parks and play-grounds to explore, play with friends and enjoy the outdoors – but not our canine compan-ions. On Saturday, June 25, that will change with the offi-cial grand opening of the Sun-shine Coast Regional District’s first designated off-leash dog park at the north end Shirley Macey Park site located at 930 Chamberlin Road. The grand opening will take place from 11am-3pm and the public is

invited to attend and enjoy a series of activities that include, a “leash cutting” and cake cer-emony, pet related informa-tion, dog demonstrations, and fun contests.

The benefits of the dog park include: enabling dogs to run off-leash, socializing and exer-cising dogs in a safe environ-ment, promoting responsible dog ownership, promoting public health and safety, pro-viding a great place for own-ers to meet and make new

Dog park openingfriends.

“Dog park development is one of the highest growth amenities in park systems across North America,” says Garry Nohr, SCRD Board Chair. “Our residents were looking for this option within our own park system. We were also looking to provide options for dog friendly areas because we are having challenges with residents running their pets on prohibited areas like sports fields.” Submitted

When it comes to women’s health the reproductive sys-tem is one the most import-ant areas that indicate health and balance. The reproduct-ive system is a direct reflec-tion of the nervous system and hormones and if symp-toms are presenting in this area of the body this is an indication of an imbalance of the whole person.

Conventional treatments for women’s disorders are sometimes necessary in se-vere cases, but most of the time self-care and using homeopathic treatment can bring a women’s body and emotions back into balance and relieve symptoms. Stud-ies indicate that conventional treatments, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), can have a suppressive effect on the body and lead to other more serious diseases.

Women struggling with hormonal and reproduct-ive system issues often will have an underlying emo-tional component that is connected to their disorder. This emotional component can be related to lifestyle, work stresses or relationship issues. Women especially, can struggle with finding a balance of self-care in their lives, not just physically, but on a deeper emotional level by over-compensating and denying parts of themselves. When these kinds of conflicts are occurring internally and externally in a woman’s life symptoms can show up in the reproductive system in some form of imbalance.

Hormonal imbalances and disorders in the repro-ductive organs can occur at any stage in a women’s life, ranging from early develop-ment in girls with menstrual difficulties, to pregnancy and breastfeeding issues, ovarian cysts, infertility and miscar-riages, any abnormality in the menstrual cycle, uterine fibroids, to struggling with menopausal symptoms.

Even though the reproduct-ive system is delicate it is pos-sible for a woman to experi-ence hormonal balance and a healthy reproductive system throughout their whole life. However, this kind of balance and well-being comes from exercising self-care and living a balanced life emotionally, because without emotional balance it is also difficult to make healthy choices. Emo-tions can have a significant impact on our bodies, so if a woman is dealing with suppressed emotions or a lot of negativity and stress emotionally this will have an impact on her overall health and, over time, symptoms and disease begin to present themselves in the body.

Mild conditions of vagin-itis, cystitis and menstrual cramps can be treated at home using homeopathic remedies. However, if they are reoccurring and persis-tent then seek a professional homeopath to treat the con-dition from a deeper level as this indicates a chronic condition. Complex chronic conditions such as irregu-lar periods, uterine fibroids, breast conditions, sexual dif-ficulties, severe menopausal symptoms, PMS and abnor-mal menstrual bleeding and so on should not be treated at home. Seek a professional homeopath to address chron-ic complex conditions from a deeper more individual level for lasting resolve.

Sunshine Coasters are well known for promoting a natural and organic lifestyle and the use of solar power and other energy effi cient, environmentally friendly products is on the rise. We now see EV (electric vehicle) charging stations popping up in public locations throughout the Coast to

support the ever increasing population of EV’s and hybrid vehicles. They have come a long way in recent years, ranging from little compacts to high end sports cars and there are very few, if any, performance issues as there were in the past.

A charging station can easily be installed in the garage or outside and now, if you’re looking at getting solar power for the home, the EV chargers can be connected to that system to even further reduce charging costs. BC Hydro has become a strong proponent of EV’s and they

have taken initiatives to better educate and inform the public on the benefi ts as well implemented strategies and infrastructure. The following information is extracted from their website.

BC HYDRO PLANS FOR A FUTURE WITH ELECTRIC VEHICLES

According to BC Hydro’s website, 93 per cent of our electricity comes from clean or renewable resources and that plug-in electric vehicles could signifi cantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. In anticipation of electric vehicles (EVs) becoming more common they have undertaken numerous initiatives to offer the public a more complete picture of how these vehicles will operate and the demands that may be placed on our infrastructure.

Electric vehicles can travel between 120 km to over 400 km on a single charge. The exact range of the EV varies by manufacturer, model, and driving conditions. The majority of vehicle charging will occur at home or at work. Depending on the EV make, you can plug-

Charging times varies with the EVs make and model, the amount driven between charges and the charging station being used. “DC Fast Charge” terminals can fully charge an EV in 10-30 minutes. A 240V outlet, with a similar plug used by a stove, can charge an EV in 3 to 4 hours. The 120V standard home socket will charge an EV in 11-16 hours. The total cost for a single charge depends on the size of the battery. In most cases it should be under $2

INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGBC Hydro is ensuring that our electrical

infrastructure is ready for EVs by planning a charging infrastructure demonstration project with multiple partners, by working with the Electric Power Research Institute on a grid impact study and a marketing database to predict where clusters of EVs are likely to occur. They are also helping to develop the necessary codes & standards and charging infrastructure guidelines to

For example, the City of Vancouver has amended its building code to require dedicated circuits for EV charging in single family dwellings and multi-family dwellings.

With these investments, increasingly lower vehicle costs and signifi cantly better technology making EVs run faster and longer, it appears that electric vehicles are indeed the future for clean and reliable transportation.

An interview with Krystina Colicchio of Coast Cable

2016 HOME & GARDEN EXPOCoast Cable has stepped up

to be the Presenting Sponsor at the 7th Annual Home & Gar-den Expo, being held on Satur-day, June 18 at the Gibsons and Area Community Centre. Coast Cable Residential Sales Man-ager Krystina Colicchio tells the Local why the Expo is seen as a good fit for her company.

The Local: Coast Cable has quite a track record with the Home & Garden Expo, doesn’t it?

Krystina Colicchio: I think this is our fourth year partici-pating in this event, always as a sponsor. We did it back as far as when it was a two-day event. And we very much enjoyed the opportunity to interact with the public, to talk about our services. We’re also very fond of the Coast Community Build-ers Association as an organiz-ation. We’ve done some work with them in the past and we’ve also worked very closely with [CCBA Board member] Dennis Olson [of Olson Electric]. He is our contractor on the Sunshine Coast with our residential and building installations.

Local: You’ll have a booth at the Expo?

Krystina: We actually have a double booth, so we’re pretty

excited about that. We’re ac-tually going to set up a mini living room. The idea is to highlight and demonstrate all the ways people can use Coast Cable in their home. Such as our Maestro DVR system, which allows you to record six programs at once and watch those programs from any room in your house; to your wi-fi connection—that you could say powers all of our lives now; to Winston, our new home sec-urity automation system.

Local: “Winston?”Krystina: Yes! This is espe-

cially an opportunity to phys-ically introduce Winston to the Sunshine Coast. We launched the product late last fall. It’s home security at an extreme-ly affordable rate, with home automation, of course. It’s like taking your home and putting in your pocket, on your cell phone. To be able to remotely arm and un-arm your home security, to turn the heat up and down, even to get a noti-fication when your child gets home from school.

We’re going to have some Coast Cable representatives there as well. I will be there, as will our Regional Manager, our Technical Manager and some

sales reps. We’re also going to bring Coast TV in. We`ll have our mobile truck there and we're going to give people the opportunity to tour it to see how we do our location film-ing. We`re also going to set up a “green screen” to give folks the chance to be a “reporter for the day.” They’ll see what that looks like and how they look on camera. At the same time maybe we can garner some in-terest for folks who might want to volunteer for Coast TV. The community channel has been servicing the Sunshine Coast for quite a long time.

Local: It would seem to make sense for anyone visiting the Home & Garden Expo to drop by your display.

Krystina: Absolutely. When you build a new home, you want to do it with the premise that it will have the latest and the greatest. Winston is the latest and greatest. It’s simple, it’s got a really great introduc-tory rate for the automation. If you’re a Coast Cable customer then it’s $19.95 a month. For the price of a movie channel, I can check in on those that I love—my children, my pets, my belongings.

Father's Day is an annual celebration of fathers and the contributions they make to their families. Dads get their due on Father's Day, when sons, daughters and wives typically give dad a few gifts to show their ap-preciation for all he has done for them and how much he means to them.

By asking themselves a few questions, Father's Day shoppers can narrow down their options and find gifts that Dad will appreciate.

Even if your father or hus-band loves what he does for a living, a gift that indulges one of his favourite hob-bies may be just the thing to make this Father's Day extra special. Outdoorsmen may prefer some new camping or fishing gear, while fath-ers who have an artistic side may prefer some new paint brushes and canvasses.

Sometimes the best gifts

are what a recipient needs as opposed to what he wants. If you no longer live at home, ask your mother if there's anything your father needs that would make his life eas-ier or more enjoyable. If you live at home, pay close atten-tion to your father to see if there's anything that could lighten his load. For example, if Dad loves spending time in the garden, take a sneak peek at his gardening tools and re-place any that have grown dull or rusty.

For the Dad who doesn't seem to need anything, con-sider something he may

A cooking class for dad?want that he's never had before. If Dad loves to cook but has never had formal training, enrol him in a cook-ing class. If Dad loves a local sports team but hasn't been to a game in years, purchase tickets to a game and go with him to make the day even more special.

Dads with a love for tech-nology are living in the gold-en age of gadgets. Father's Day shoppers looking to satisfy their fathers' love of technology have a host of possibilities at their disposal.

The relationship between the Crown and Aboriginal people in Canada has been in near constant evolution since it was first established over 300 years ago. It has been affected by commercial and economic pressures, by shifting alliances and exter-nal threats, and by policies of protection and subordina-tion.

On October 7, 1763, King George III issued a Royal Proclamation for the admin-istration of British territories in North America. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 set out the core elements of the relationship between First Nations and the Crown, es-tablished the recognition of First Nation rights in Canada, and laid the foundation of the treaty-making process and Canada’s territorial evolu-tion.

The impact of treaty-mak-ing in Canada has been wide-ranging and long standing. The treaties the Crown has signed with Aboriginal peo-ples since the 18th century have permitted the evolu-tion of Canada as we know

it and form the basis for the on-going treaty relationship. This treaty-making process, which has evolved over more than 300 years between Ab-original and non-Aboriginal people in Canada, has its origins in the early diplo-matic relationship developed between European settlers and Aboriginal people. These diplomatic proceedings were the first steps in a long pro-cess that has led to today’s comprehensive claims agree-ments between the Crown and Aboriginal people.

Throughout Canada’s his-tory, Aboriginal peoples have helped shape this land into the country we know today. During the War of 1812, First Nations warriors and Métis fighters played important roles in the defence of these British territories against invading American forces. Thousands of First Nations warriors and Métis fighters fought beside British troops and Canadian settler militias during the war. More than 10,000 First Nations war-riors from the Great Lakes region and the St. Lawrence Valley participated in nearly every major battle.

For over a century Ab-original children were re-moved from their families and homes, sometimes forc-ibly, and taken to residential schools where they were housed and educated under the authority of the Govern-ment of Canada. The estab-lishment of Indian residential schools began in the 1870s. The Government of Canada was involved in the fund-ing and operation of many of these schools, along with various religious organiza-tions, including the Anglican, Presbyterian, United and Ro-man Catholic churches. Two primary objectives of the res-idential schools system were to remove and isolate chil-dren from their homes, fami-lies, traditions and cultures, and to assimilate them into the dominant culture. In all, some 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children were removed and separated from their families and commu-nities to attend residential schools. While most Indian residential schools ceased to operate by the mid-1970s, the last federally run school closed in the late 1990s.

On June 11, 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper of-fered an historic Apology to former students of Indian residential schools and their

Our tangled history

families, and sought forgive-ness for the suffering and the long-lasting impact the schools have had on First Nations, Inuit and Métis cul-ture, heritage and language. Alongside the 2008 Apol-ogy, the successful on-going implementation of the Indian Residential Schools Settle-ment Agreement is a key factor in the Government of Canada’s efforts to forge a new relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aborigi-nal Canadians.

The Canadian Arctic Ex-pedition (CAE) marked a significant turning point in Canada’s Arctic territo-rial history and helped shape Canada into a nation, strong and free. By asserting Cana-dian control over thousands of square kilometres and confirming Canada’s modern Northern border, the Expe-dition and its activities laid the foundation for the future of Canada’s development in the Arctic. It further defined Canada’s northern boundar-ies and provided significant scientific and cultural knowl-edge of the Arctic and of Northern peoples.

During the First World War, thousands of Aboriginal people voluntarily enlisted in the Canadian military. They served in every major theatre of the war and par-ticipated in all of the major battles in which Canadian troops fought. Hundreds were wounded or lost their lives on foreign battlefields. Aboriginal soldiers served valiantly; many distinguished themselves as talented and capable soldiers and at least 50 were awarded medals for bravery and heroism.

In 2009, June was declared National Aboriginal History Month, following the pass-ing of a unanimous motion in the House of Commons. This provides an opportu-nity to recognize not only the historic contributions of Ab-original peoples to the devel-opment of Canada, but also the strength of present-day Aboriginal communities and their promise for the future.

Every June, Canadians cele-brate National Aboriginal His-tory Month, which is an oppor-tunity to honour the heritage, contributions and cultures of First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities across Canada. Canadians are also invited to celebrate National Aboriginal Day on June 21 each year.

On June 21 National Ab-original Day is celebrating 20 years of strong vibrant cultures and traditions. This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cul-tures and outstanding contri-

butions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Cana-dian Constitution recognizes these three groups as Ab-original peoples, also known as Indigenous Peoples.

Although these groups share many similarities, they

National Aboriginal Day is the longesteach have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.

In cooperation with In-digenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day. For generations, many Indig-enous Peoples and communi-ties have celebrated their cul-ture and heritage on or near this day due to the signifi-cance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.

National Aboriginal Day was announced in 1996 by then Governor General of Canada, Roméo LeBlanc, through the Proclamation Declaring June 21 of Each Year as National Aboriginal Day. National Aboriginal Day was the result of consulta-tions and statements of sup-port for such a day made by various Indigenous groups.

Nicola Harwood will be reading at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre Thursday, June 23 at 7:30pm as part of this year’s Read Out Loud event. Harwood’s new book, Flight Instructions for the Commit-ment Impaired, was produced by Halfmoon Bay publisher, Cailtin Press. Flight Instruc-tions is a memoir recounting the time Harwood and her partner (referred to in the book as The Lover) fostered an emotionally disturbed 11-year-old with gender identity issues. The story of Harwood’s struggle to estab-lish a relationship of trust with Antwan runs parallel with the story of the demise of her relationship with The Lover. It’s a story told in pre-cise language with deep hon-esty and humour. “I come from a family where we use humour to cope with difficult situations,” says Harwood. “It was a way to process really difficult emotions.” The story moves along at a good pace as well, likely due to Har-wood’s experience in theatre. “I tend to write really fast and condensed and playwriting works in that way,” explains Harwood. “The conflict and the action need to be con-

stantly humming.”While the story is indeed

filled with conflict and action that happens on many fronts, there is also plenty of reflec-tion and self-examination. The two white women, living in what was then the run-down Mission district of San Francisco, must not only deal with Antwan’s behavioural issues, but also with issues of class, gentrification, and race since their foster child is African American. This is when Harwood’s writing real-ly shines, as she looks in the mirror and brings together probing insights with clear, concise prose, calling out the uglier side of human frailty when necessary. Harwood found the transition from writing for theatre to writing prose “terrifying. If something goes wrong it can be attribut-ed in many different direc-tions,” she says of working in theatre. “There was a naked-ness about [writing the book] that I had never experienced before. My creativity was fully exposed.” But fear met with an unwavering eye is the true strength of Harwood’s book.

Michael V. Smith is also reading at Read Out Loud. Smith is an award winning author and filmmaker who teaches creative writing at UBC Okanagan. His books in-clude the novels Cumberland, Progress and a memoir, My Body is Yours. While on the Coast, Smith will be giving a writing workshop, Every Ball

Bounces Twice, Friday, June 24 from 1-4pm. Cost is $50. To register email [email protected]

What does home mean to you? Four walls? The open road and a steering wheel? A state of mind?

The Gibsons Public Art Gallery is calling all artists to reflect on the meaning of home and submit original works of art for an exhib-ition and auction in support of Habitat for Humanity and our local public art gallery. The exhibition, from Oct. 20 – Nov. 6, 2016, will feature art work in all mediums.

This is a three-way fund-raiser, with all proceeds div-ided into thirds for the artist, Habitat for Humanity, and the Gibsons Public Art Gal-lery.

The submission deadline is Sept. 30, with artwork due

on Oct.14. Art will be sold by silent auction throughout the exhibition, with a selection of works to be sold at a live auction ticketed event on the evening of Saturday Novem-ber 5. Art lovers: take note of that date.

A similar fundraiser, held in 2011, raised over $14,000 for Habitat and the Gallery. The format for the 2016 ex-hibition has been adapted to recognize the huge demand placed on local artists for contributions to local fund-raising. The Gallery would like to recognize and draw attention to the incredible generosity of our local art-ists in supporting the work of non-profit groups in our community. Submitted

A picture of home?

The St. John’s Artists, an informal group of local artists, will be holding a showing and sale of the works they have produced this past year at St. John’s United Church in Davis Bay. There will be some very interesting paintings: all shapes and styles, all mediums, all prices.

In addition there will be a sale of gently used – in some cases NEVER used – art supplies from their studios.

An opening reception will be held 4-7pm on Fri-day evening, June 17.

The showing and sale will run from 10am-7pm on Friday, June 17 and from 10am-5pm on Satur-day, June 18.

St. John’s Artists meet at 1pm every Thursday afternoon at the church to paint. New members who paint in any medium are welcome.

Back in TimeMargo Howe Curatorial Assistant, Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives

Would you like to lift the veil of time and see Lower Gibsons as it was 50 or 100 years ago? Are you interest-ed in learning about the peo-ple and events that shaped Lower Gibsons? Then plan on taking a Gibsons Landing Historical Walking Tour this summer. These tours were such a success last summer that we are returning with even more opportunities to go back in time with lo-cal historian Dale Peterson. Born and raised in Gibsons, the basement of Dale’s child-hood home housed the be-ginnings of what is now the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives.

The Gibsons Landing His-torical Walking Tour invites you to engage with history in

a fresh way, with new eyes. So much of our history lives in the buildings and land-scape around us. It can’t be contained within the walls of a Museum or the covers of a book. Experience a building shape shift from being a sec-ond hand store to hardware store to a restaurant. Hear the echoes of steamships and ferries hover over the fish boats and leisure craft. Remember the sound of chil-dren’s voices calling for ice cream from the Village Store.

During the 90-minute walk, Dale weaves a colour-ful narrative starting with the Squamish First Nations village that was nearby, to how and why George Gib-sons rowed ashore, and what life was like for people as the village grew from a tiny set-tlement to a town. Combined with stories of the major is-sues of the day, you will leave enriched and enlightened.

Tours begin at 10am at the

Summer is on its way. A season for kids of all ages to play, imagine, relax & ex-plore, and that is exactly what the Gibsons Public Li-brary has in store.

Creative Minds Camp was offered for the first time last year and because of its suc-cess we are repeating it again this year. The camp is for kids who have finished grades 5, 6 or 7. It offers young people who have outgrown the Sum-mer Reading Club the chance to flex their creative muscles, stimulate their imaginations, and be inspired. Stop-Motion Animation will run August 3 & 4. Message in a Bottle will run August 10 & 11. Both will run 10am–12:30pm each day. The camps are free but participants are asked to pre-register and commit to attending both days of their chosen camp.

The Summer Reading Club will once again offer younger children the chance to play games, hear stories, make friends and be creative, all while encouraging them to keep reading throughout the summer. The program runs each Thursday in July with a wrap-up party on August 4. This year’s theme is Book a Trip. The morning pro-gram (for k. gr. 1 & 2 gradu-ates) will run from 10:30am

–noon. The afternoon pro-gram (for gr. 3 & 4 graduates) will run from 2-3:30pm. Sign up for as many days as you’d like. The Summer Reading Club is a free, drop-in pro-gram offered in libraries throughout BC, but it helps to register early.

Tween Book Club is a great opportunity for book lovers to get together to read and review books together. The club will meet every second Wednesday in July 2:30–4pm. Book choices are July 13 “Crenshaw” and July 27 “The Night Gardner”.

Registration forms for all programs are available on our website and at the li-brary, as are volunteer forms for teens and tweens who are interested in volunteering to be program leaders.

And remember, we also have a collection of audio books (on CDs and down-loadable) the whole family can enjoy while on road trips together. So check out the library this summer, where you’ll find something to keep everyone imagining, explor-ing and reading, every season of the year.

This month’s article was written by the library’s Young Peoples Librarian, Danielle Arsenault. For information on any Library program or service drop by the Library, visit our website: gibsons.bc.libraries.coop or call us at 604-886-213. Remember all library programing and ser-vices are free.

Gibsons Visitor Information Centre. The walk concludes at the Museum where you can continue your explora-tion of coastal heritage by visiting our two floors of ex-hibits. Tours will be conduct-ed on weekends, all summer long.

Upcoming walking tour dates are Sunday, July 3, Sat-

urday, July 9, and Sunday, July 10. For a full schedule, visit our Facebook page or our website: sunshinecoastmu-seum.ca. Suggested dona-tion of $5 to $10 per person. Participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a guardian. To register for a tour, call the Museum at 604-886-8232.

Horoscope

Michael O’ConnorAstrologer

Tip of the Week: Summer Solstice this

year coincides with the Full Moon. Specifically, the Moon comes to its official peak at 4:02 am PDT and then the Sun enters Tropical Cancer at 3:34 pm, both on June 20th. Among other things, this indicates that the exact moment of the Full Moon occurs in Sagittarius, and specifically 29 Sagittarius 23.

Planets at the 29th degree of any sign, whether our Birth Chart or by transit and progression present a theme of overcoming. This is espe-cially true when this critical degree appears in our Birth Chart. Yet, regarding this moment now with the Moon Full at 29, we can expect a cycle that will synchronize as and with circumstances where needed to overcome something in our attitude, perceptions, interpretations

and/or choices. How this theme will unfold depends on where it occurs in your Birth Chart and what other planets are activated by as-pect. Any planet between 23 and 7 degrees of any sign will be activated, but the closer to 29, the bigger the effect.

In the bigger picture, the Universal 9 Year continues to influence changes, com-pletions, purging and elim-inating the old in any and every sense in preparation for a new 9-year round that begins on January 1, 2019. There is nothing average about this year, but it re-mains the pre-launch. 2016 is synchronizing with com-plex, exciting, disruptive, liberating times.Aries (Mar 21–Apr 20)

A social cycle continues. A busy schedule with much to do, plenty of quick visits and a rich exchange of informa-tion has been a likely theme. This week you will feel the shift, however. You will want to spend more and more time close to home, with family and friends initially shifting towards taking in the season’s beauty.

Taurus (Apr 20–May 21)The quickening pace is

about to get quicker yet. Tending to a variety of fronts, mixing business and pleasure, could prove ani-mated and fun. Your emo-tional barometer will rise as well. Expect sentimentality to enter into the plot and perhaps drama and bigger mood swings too. Get ready, the ride is about to get a bit wilder.Gemini (May 21–Jun 21)

Some fresh starts are quickly manifesting as un-expected turns. These and already existing rhythms are leading you to embrace your inner council. Increasing your overall heath levels is featured. Relationship com-mitments are under review as well. It may simply be about adjusting how much time you spend and where.Cancer (Jun 21– Jul 22)

An inward cycle is draw-ing to a close. It will linger for a while yet and present a gradual shift. The activa-tion will prove noticeable, a turning point of sorts. It will take about a week before the momentum increases. It

will feel like you have your energy back. This will con-tribute to fuelling your am-bitions to work and play.Leo (Jul 22–Aug 23)

The momentum remains high in terms of social out-reach. It could manifest as simply as more social media exposure or it could lead you out to meet, greet and participate. If this is what you want, then you are wise to take the initiative now to activate a momentum. Other-wise, get ready to do an add-ed measure of inner work.Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)

Things are getting clear-er by the day. In some re-spects, it could feel like a wake-up call. Otherwise, you feel more grounded and determined. You will feel your energy levels rise and with them your ambitions too over the coming weeks. Used well, this could pro-duce a breakthrough period, in answer to your prayers.Libra (Sep 22–Oct 22)

You have begun to see a bigger picture. With each new day, it may feel as though you are learning half a dozen new things. Much of

these may be linked to so-cial trends. However, there is a deeper story underway as well. Behind the scenes, you are doing what may be deemed the real work.Scorpio (Oct 22–Nov 21)

You have arrived at an im-portant juncture, perhaps a fork in the road. Deciphering what constitutes your next steps may feel more import-ant than usual. It may also feel necessary to step back to gain a clearer perspective. Deepen your own research process balanced by being open to the advice of others.Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21)

A lot of interaction on relationship fronts should be keeping you busy and entertained these days. Generally, you are in an ex-pansive cycle and it could be good for your career as well. Opportunities for ad-vancement and promotion are indicated, but you will have to earn it. Your energy levels may be low, however, so pace yourself.Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19)

A creative process of generating ideas and plans to support your ambitions

continues. Exercising extra measures of critical analy-sis feel necessary. Call it healthy skepticism so you make realistic choices. You are open to inspired think-ing and dreams of possibil-ity, yet they will have had to have been tried and proven already.Aquarius (Jan 19–Feb 19)

There may have been a delay in feeling as spontan-eous in your urge to social-ize, but no longer. The time has come to reach out and have some fun. Your career and public status may be shifting causing you to feel somewhat unsettled but this too will change soon. Have confidence despite the tur-bulence and cut loose.Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)

Changes on the home front have and continue to unfold. Attending to various adjust-ments, cleaning and beauti-fying your environment and the like are featured. Yet, you also feel restless; which is partially linked to your ambitions. Meanwhile, ca-reer responsibilities and/or challenges are also heavier these days.
