& Win!For Salish Soils entrepreneur Aaron Joe,

turning waste into a viable resource – rich composted loam – speaks to creating a sus-tainable enterprise for his own shíshálh Na-tion community. More importantly, it also provides a model for First Nations across the country interested in creating new, sus-tainable jobs that will put food on the table. Discovering that making soil combined art

with science, Joe installed an employee garden as a testing area to see how the soil performed. “When we planted seeds, we didn’t know much about growing – then when we saw the plants coming up, we got really excited,” Joe said. He approached Lehigh Hanson’s former mine manager, Mike Latermer, pitching the idea for a small demonstration garden as part of the reclamation of a former tailings pond

on the site. Latermer “bought into it imme-diately,” Joe reports, and his enthusiasm was instrumental in moving the project forward. This year, the demonstration garden comes of age, as a full-fledged urban farm that takes Joe’s vision for community food security and sustainability one step further in the road to a growing economy.

The money spent on a daily cup of coffee over five yearswould cover the average cost of two hearing aids.

A new breed of hippos are being launched on the Sunshine Coast through the efforts of Gibson resi-dents Luke Vorstermans and Linda Ryan.

The Hippo is a much smarter way to collect and move water. And for mil-lions of African women who spend up to six hours a day on this domestic chore, it’s a lifechanging tool.

“When people first see the Hippo Roller the first ques-tion is always, ‘Why hasn’t someone thought of this before?’” said Ryan. “It is an astonishingly simple tool”

The Hippo Roller’s inno-vative design allows water to be moved more easily and efficiently by placing the water inside its ‘wheel.’ A full Hippo Roller holds 90 kg of water – five times the amount possible using traditional methods. But because the weight is on the ground, it has an effective weight of just 10 kg allow-ing children to easily man-age a full roller over most types of terrain. Ryan says that a single hippo carries enough water to meet the basic needs of five people per day. It also gives them access to better hygiene and living conditions.

“A hippo can save a wom-

an upwards of 20 hours of work per week, so imagine what a group of women could collectively do with that time. Or a nation of women?” says Vorstermans. “This simple design can change the world.”

Recently Vorstermans, Ryan and a group of friends launched a crowdfund-ing venture (www.dana.io/roll-a-hippo) with the aim of placing 1,000 hippos

in African communities – empowering 1,000 women in the process. They have also launched a website (www.rollahippo. org), a social media campaign and they will be rolling a hippo around the Coast over the summer months to help with fundraising.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

LocaltheweekLy

When negotiations between government and the BCTF bargaining unit broke down after an intense

weekend of talks, and teachers set up full-time picket lines around schools on Tuesday, the rhetoric really ramped up – on both sides.

On the one hand, we have government trying to rein in costs of delivering a program of education that should produce students able to compete on a global scale in an economy that is evolving at warp speed. These are the peo-ple to whom we entrust our tax dollars and expect them to steward them wisely.

On the other hand, we have the people responsible for actually implementing the program, and year after year pro-ducing a cadre of educated students amidst the challenges presented by that evolving economy. These are the people to whom we entrust our children and our society’s future for a significant portion of the week. We expect stewardship from them, as well.

And in between those two hands is the student body, be-ing spun about as the two sides wage a war of words.

Since June of 2013, when the previous contract expired, teachers continued to show up to work, cover extracurricu-lar activities, administer and grade exams, identify learning challenges and counsel children and parents. It’s not an easy job, and it’s not for everyone. How many of our gentle read-ers would enjoy the opportunity to be shut into a room with two dozen squirming nine-year olds from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily? Teaching, as a profession, is evolving at the same pace as our society and technology. Delivering the province’s education program effectively, takes up a sizeable portion of the teacher’s day.The classroom time is just the bones; keeping up with the kids and the curriculum requires hours of prep time, and monitoring extracurricular activities adds more hours. Many teachers arrive at the school as early as 7 a.m., and leave at 4 or 5 p.m. with a bag full of ‘homework’ of their own to complete in the evening. With hours and responsibilities like these, why would anyone choose teach-ing as a profession?

The five-year contract term will encompass a period of exponential change, and so the teachers are asking for more flexibility in how the education programs will be delivered to a computer-literate and screen-obsessed student body – with smaller class sizes and more resources for children with learning challenges. This seems to be the real crux of the disagreement and so far, neither side will budge.

Until both sides return to the table and bargain in good faith, the system that delivers our children’s education is closed for the duration. But hey, Playland is open!Heather Jeal, Editor

What can we learn from this?

Faster alert needed Normally we are aware

of emergency situations as they occur - not remotely shy, emergencies. Everyone knows when the weather is bad or an earthquake has occurred. We feel con-cerned, we seek information or assistance. The Gibsons water contamination situ-ation was unexpected, un-precedented, and totally un-noticeable. Unfortunately, the Town’s Boil Water Ad-visory response was equally quiet. Notices were posted in some public areas and on the internet, but noth-ing screamed to the general public HEY, WE’VE GOT A HEALTH-THREAT-ENING SITUATION. The advisory was issued at 3 p.m. on a fine Friday afternoon. I had already shopped, been to the library, and picked up my mail and local papers. No cell phone, and I’m barely aware that ra-dio still exists. I have a com-puter, and normally I access Facebook a couple times a week to see if any additional grandchild photos are post-ed. If I had not gone on line, then the earliest I would have found out would have been Monday IF I went to the mailbox. This is not ac-ceptable. When I moved to Gibsons in 1990, a loud wailing air raid-type siren would sound to summon fire fighters. Something similar could be used today. If I heard a siren, I would know to check with the Town’s website, and people could turn on their radios if they didn’t have comput-ers. Another possibility is cars cruising the streets with loudspeakers, and of course residents would be urged to tell each other. It’s fine to adhere to a proto-col on how information is posted, but the first step is simply to inform the public that an emergency exists.

It is unrealistic to expect a silent alarm to be heard. It is also unrealistic to expect the general population to be roused to action by high tech means. Computers and cell phones are by no means universally affordable, and owners aren’t equally so-phisticated in their use. The next time a similar situation arises, we need a fast way to alert everyone.Maureen GoldmanGibsonsDisputing Weston’s claims

A number of claims made by Mr. Weston in last week’s letter seem rather du-bious. Especially odd is his claim to have “consistently advocated for a sustainable approach to the environ-ment and fisheries,” a claim that contrasts sharply with the following media report from 2013:

“More than $100 mil-lion in cuts are underway at the federal department in charge of protecting Canada’s water and oceans, despite recommendations from top bureaucrats that it needs to increase spending for both environmental and economic reasons.

According to internal fed-eral briefing notes obtained by Postmedia News, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government is eliminating about 500 jobs at the De-partment of Fisheries and Oceans related to Coast Guard services, patrols to stop illegal fishing activi-ties as well as scientific re-search to promote conser-vation, protect endangered species, and prevent in-dustrial water pollution.” I don’t recall Mr. Weston advocating against this un-sustainable approach.

Mr. Weston flogs the re-jection of the Taseko Mine Project as a shining example of his government’s environ-mental responsibility. The

notion that a Harper gov-ernment would make any important decisions based – as Mr. Weston claims – on rigourous science-based evi-dence is, of course, belied by its record in this regard. The rejection of this project was, more than likely, motivated primarily by the anticipated backlash from First Nations, with the Tsilhqot’in Nation-al Government threatening to seek millions of dollars in compensation for the poi-soning of Fish Lake.

Mr. Weston claims that his government has “recent-ly taken steps to develop a world-class marine tanker safety system…”. Since he has a history of making ex-aggerated claims, I assumed this to be another one. But it seems his government ac-tually has taken such steps, steps that look good on pa-per. The reality is that the fossil fuel industry has yet to demonstrate that it’s pos-sible to effect an adequate cleanup, regardless of what regulations may be govern-ing those efforts. For a real-ity check on Mr. Weston’s claim, I encourage readers to check out the Wikipedia entry on the Exxon Valdez spill. Especially noteworthy is the fact that, “as of 2010 there were an estimated 23,000 US gallons (87 m 3) of Valdez crude oil still in Alaska’s sand and soil, breaking down at a rate esti-mated at less than 4 per cent per year. ”George KosinskiGibsons

Outraged by LNG?Outrage is growing at the

prospect of an LNG facil-ity at Woodfibre and 1000’ LNG Supertankers transit-ing the shipping route to and from that site through the waters of Howe Sound and Georgia/Haro Straits. These are not small freight-ers that we are all familiar

with and the LNG infra-structure (tankers and facili-ties) is considered Class A Hazard.

SIGTTO sets interna-tional standards for the industry but they must be legislated and enforced by Government. One standard is that siting for an LNG fa-cility should not be in a nar-row inland waterway, close to population centres and with considerable marine traffic. Howe Sound and the Georgia/Haro Straits fit this description.

In 2008, the UBCM passed a resolution request-ing the Canadian Govern-ment ban LNG tanker traffic along the Georgia/Haro Straits. The Regional Districts and Municipalities along the route that sup-ported that request consider it to still be in effect.

People need to be in-formed about this issue and what is being considered for our waters or it will be too late to stop it. The first pub-lic comment period is now underway: June 12 - July11. More information: www.eao.gov.bc.ca.Laurie ParkinsonBoyer Island, Howe Sound

NATIONAL ABORIGINAL DAY • JUNE 21

On a reclaimed for-mer tailings pond at

the edge of Lehigh Han-son’s Sechelt site, a thriv-ing urban farm bursts with healthy produce destined for the tables of Coastal resi-dents. With roots in an ex-perimental “employee gar-den,” the one-acre farmsite is blossoming into a major and very diverse pesticide-free food source, producing mainly heritage varietals.

Shortly after his Sal-ish Soils operation began producing rich loam from composted green waste five years ago, entrepreneur Aar-on Joe approached Lehigh’s site manager with a proposi-tion: using volunteer labour and donated materials, his company would cooperate in reclaiming a portion of the site and turning it into a productive garden. The project began modestly, with a few raised beds, a few fruit trees and berry bushes. Each year, more land is de-veloped and made produc-tive; at present, about an acre is under cultivation. “Going forward, we can only see growth,” says Joe, who is working with the band to develop a vision for reclaiming more of the

Urban farm offers ‘a vision of sustainability’

sale at the Salish Soils office ‘farmgate’ and at farmers’ markets. In accordance with First Nations tradition, sur-plus is regularly shared with the elders and the less fortu-nate. In 2013, regular deliv-eries to the Food Bank from the Salish/Lehigh garden were very welcome and very

generous, says Sunshine Coast Food Bank coordi-nator Dale Sankey. Many Coast residents ‘grow a row’ for the Food Bank, or share their produce have raised the bar in this regard.

Joe’s overall vision is “not just for the shíshálh, it’s for First Nations across Canada, a vision of sustain-ability for the First Nations people who are in pursuit of sustainable jobs and keeping our people work-ing.” By adding the urban farm component to the Sal-ish Soils operation, Joe has closed the waste-to-resource loop – composting green

waste into soil, which grows food, with seed harvested and more green waste as byproducts, which are then composted into soil, and so the cycle continues.

“Making soil is a blend of art and science,” Joe ex-plains. “The art of perfecting a batch, and the science of testing and making sure it’s pathogen-free, and safe for growing food and gardens.”

“To me, there’s nothing more satisfying than know-ing we are creating a healthy lifestyle, and creating jobs that put food on the table.” Heather Jeal

minesite and hopes to see the urban farm encompass about 25 acres in time. “It’s important for the com-munity to be able to access wholesome, healthy foods and build our localized food economy. And as the farm is located less than a mile from downtown Sechelt, it fits

the environmental niche.”The Salish Soils team con-

tinue to augment the land with regular applications of rich black topsoil and the result is a harvest of good, fresh and pesticide-free food in unforeseen abun-dance. This year, the urban farm is producing food for

An early-twentieth cen-tury First Nations peace

pipe originating in North-ern Alberta is resting at the shíshálh First Nation’s tems swiya Museum in the Ra-ven’s Cry complex, awaiting possible repair, restoration, and repatriation. Donor Linda Harris explains that the pipe was originally gift-ed to her great grandfather, Henry Reed, by a band in the Edmonton area, proba-bly around 1905. (A replica of his store, Reed’s Tea and Bazaar, is now on display in Fort Edmonton Park.) Harris notes that Reed built a strong relationship with the aboriginal people of the area, and the peace pipe was a gift of respect.

“This artifact has been in the care and safety of Stu Harris since 1979,” con-firms Erika Vader, Cultural Interpreter at tems swiya. Vader added that the pipe

Archaeology is about more than just digging

for artifacts! Buried deep in the rich soils of the Sun-shine Coast are insights into the distant past. Evidence of traditional land use, ancient tools and technology, art, politics, trade, diet and even social-structure is discovered through local archaeologi-cal excavations in shíshálh territory.

Archaeology Day is de-signed to celebrate National Aboriginal Day by connect-

ing local residents, visitors and communities with infor-mation about the abundant archaeological record of the shíshálh people. Learn about local archaeology, ways to identify an archaeological site and why archaeology is important to the scientific community, the Sechelt Na-tion and future generations.

Visit tems swiya Museum on Saturday, June 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. for this special event! Start with a self-guid-ed museum tour at 1 p.m.,

then archeologist Kenzie Jessome offers ‘An introduc-tion to shíshálh’ at 1:30 p.m. At 1:45 p.m., archeological technician Tyrone Joe-May-ers’ talk explains how mod-ern questions are ‘Answered by our ancestors.’ At 2:15, cultural interpreter Corinna Julius discusses ‘Archeology and cultural heritage.’

Light refreshments will be served, and children are welcome. Admission is by donation.

was offered to Reed to show trust and the First Nation’s relationship with him. The pipe, she says, may be re-paired or restored depend-ing on the recommendation they receive from the spe-cialist on staff.

“We have a strong initi-tive for repatriation,” Vader noted. Proud of the collec-tion of artifacts on display, she adds, “We have the best resources on the Sunshine Coast for aboriginal work and artifacts, and we are working to get them to the right homes.” The museum team works to coordinate repatriation of each artifact with its home nation, of-fering to house objects for those without museums until they have the facilities, or they may repatriate items to a museum closer to their original home.

The Sunshine Coast Mu-seum and Archives recently moved several pieces from its collection to tems swiya, which is in the early stages of coordinating their repa-triation with the appropri-ate ceremony.

“The Residential School Era destroyed much,” Linda Harris says, “and any actions that can help heal are well worth taking.” Accordingly, she encourages anyone who may have artifacts in their possession to consider gift-ing them to a First Nations museum.Heather Jeal

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

The Sunshine Coast Regional District staff

and directors are extremely proud of the volunteers we have, and one group serves year after year, its members on duty night and day. The regional district has five fire departments: Egmont, Pender Harbour, Halfmoon Bay, Roberts Creek, and Gibsons and areas E and F. Each area of the Sunshine Coast pays the costs of their own fire department through taxes. Each of the fire departments also does volunteer fundraising to purchase equipment and to support events in their local communities. The directors of the SCRD would like to thank the following retired fire chiefs and welcome the next set of fire department volunteer leaders to their new positions.

Peter Sly, Egmont; Greg Phelps, Halfmoon Bay; and Bruce Searle, Roberts Creek, have retired as fire chiefs in the last few years.

Hail - and farewell - to SCRD fire chiefs

SCRD Director Frank Mauro (Area A – Pender Harbour), left, and SCRD Chair Garry Nohr congratulate Egmont and District Volunteer Fire Department Chief Peter Sly on his retire-ment. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Peter Sly retired as Chief of Egmont and District Volunteer Fire Department (EDVFD) after serving as its first chief since 2004. He previously worked for Vancouver and Surrey Fire Departments, providing 46 years of continuous fire ser-vice. He was instrumental in starting up the EDVFD and is replaced by Kal He-lyar. Kal runs Porpoise Bay Charters and was Deputy Chief for three years. He is also a member of Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Unit 61 (Pender Harbour). Finding and re-taining volunteers in the small Egmont Fire depart-ment is a major accomplish-ment for the past and also the present chief.

Greg Phelps has 34 years of service with Halfmoon

Bay Volunteer Fire Depart-ment (HMBVFD), serving as chief from 1984 to 1990 and 1996 to 2011. He re-mains as Fire Hall Assistant and counts among his ac-complishments purchasing five major fire vehicles and setting up Fire Hall #2 in Welcome Woods. Greg has much to do with the success of the Halfmoon Bay Fire department by recruiting and training a steady stream of skilled volunteers during his time as chief. Greg con-tinues be an active volunteer with the department. The HMBVFD current chief is Ryan Daley who joined the department in 1999, hav-ing served four years on the Howe Sound Fire Depart-ment. He has completed Justice Institute and other training and worked his

way up through the ranks, including serving as Train-ing Officer. Ryan brings business and other valuable skills to the department and provides leadership for a mix of longstanding and new volunteers.

Bruce Searle, retired chief of Roberts Creek Vol-unteer Fire Department (RCVFD), trained in rope rescue, auto extrication, hazmat, and first aid. Bruce joined the department in 1987 and, after holding progressively more respon-sible positions, was chief from 2000 to 2012. Bruce is the Fire Hall Assistant for RCVFD and remains an active fire fighter. The new chief is Rob Michael, who has been with the depart-ment since 2001. He works at Howe Sound Pulp and Paper and has completed training with the Justice In-stitute. Prior to being chief Rob held various positions, including Assistant Chief and Training Officer. He continues to advocate for strong and effective training for volunteers.

The SCRD Board takes pride in honouring the pre-vious chiefs and in welcom-ing the new ones.

clarinetist Mark Simons (el-der brother of cellist and MLA Nicholas Simons) join for a unique program of classical and ‘contempo-rary meets klezmer’ music at Gibsons Heritage Play-house on Monday, June 23 at 8 p.m. MLA Simons urged the troupe, who were on Vancouver Island for Quartet Fest West and Eine Kleine Summer Music to re-unite with Mark Simons for a single concert in Gibsons. “I knew my brother had played with them in Que-bec, and since they’d be here at the same time I thought it would be too bad if it didn’t happen,” said Nicholas. “It’s an opportunity to see one

Jacquie Allan and Nikki Webber host an eve-

ning of outstanding vocal and instrumental jazz at St Bartholomew’s Church in Gibsons (corner of High-way 101 and North Road) on Saturday, June 21 at 8 p.m. Backed by Michael Creber (piano), Boyd Nor-man (bass), and Barry Tay-lor (drums), Allan’s smoky vocals put the fire into jazz and blues ‘torch’ songs.

Vocalist Wendy Hibberd of Definitely Diva brings a different texture to the mix, adding a layer of enjoyment for the audience.

Coast favourites ‘Sha-boom’ – Mike Weber, Colin Maley, Kenny Gustafson

and Wayne Slingerland – add a do-wop flair to the evening.

Allan and Weber note that all the performers have, at one time or another, sung together as part of Weber’s former ‘Mellow Tones’ en-semble “because we love be-ing together and we love our audiences,” says Allan.

At 87, Weber refuses to slow down. Although she’s stepped away from guiding her various ensemble per-formers, she continues to mentor young talent on the Coast and act as impresario for a wide variety of perfor-mances and musical genres.Submitted

died before it could be pub-lished. The Mozart Clarinet Quintet, according to Mark, the power to transform pes-simists into optimists and to reaffirm that life is beautiful.” Tickets, $15 are available at Laedeli, Gaia’s Fair Trade, MELOmania in Roberts Creek, and at the Sechelt Visitor Information Centre.

Check your stars for the week

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)You are ready to begin

projects that have likely been on your mind for a while. Though you are covering a lot of ground in your mind, your body may be lagging be-hind. It will catch up by July. Meanwhile, measure twice now and cut once later.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Move beyond chores, tasks and errands and enter into a more inspired cycle. This feel-ing will continue for many months. The main question now is: what dream ambition do you want to achieve?Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Good health is a corner-stone of feeling secure. While nutrition and exercise are ob-vious factors, feeling inspired is important too. Don’t limit yourself to just one front. Va-riety is the Gemini spice.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)An expansive and exuber-

ant cycle is on the rise. But first you have tasks to com-plete. These require close at-tention to detail and you may not feel quite up to it. This is probably especially true at

home and late spring clean-ing and even renovations are implied.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Quality time shared with

family is quite likely this week. Know that some rather deep psychological themes and is-sues may get stirred. Aware-ness is ever a key contributor to responding verses reacting. Fortunately, your energy lev-els should be up and you will enjoy familiar company.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Your confidence levels may

be vacillating these days and this could prove especially true this week. Reflection, review and constructive criti-cism are featured. Since this is destined to occur now, take it on but avoid taking it too personally.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Some significant initia-

tives are keeping you busy now. Altogether these could amount to a dizzying whirl-wind of activity, but fun too. They also stand to coincide with some soul searching and establishing clearly defined roles and goals. Answers will come though it could take a month or two.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A rather deep, philosophi-cal and perhaps zany cycle has begun. You may feel more inclined to listen more

and speak less. Your private and secretive side is getting ex-tra stimulation. Investigations into mysteries and unanswered questions will prove enticing.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

A major cycle that began almost two years ago will continue through to the end of this year with even a few trickles next. The main thing is that you are flexible and make room for the new, in your heart and mind as well as home.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Some promising fresh starts on relationship fronts will stimulate your imagination in varied and intricate ways. A creative and even inventive streak will be activated. One way or another you are ready for something new and the status quo must change.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Making needed improve-ments is linked to both culti-vating your talents and to in-creasing the flow of abundance. Finances are a likely focus You want to create more beauty and experience increased stability in your world.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)A creative cycle has begun. Get

ready to cover a lot of ground. Quality time shared with family and friends will prove uplifting. Anticipate some emotional ma-noeuvering as well.

Time is running out to hear the voices of

1,300 people across Sea to Sky and the Sunshine Coast, as the deadline approaches for the My Health My Community survey to capture resi-dents’ health statistics.

The online survey closes June 30, 2014, and aims to collect health and well-being information from four per cent of the pop-ulation who are aged 18 and up. More than 1,500 people in the Coastal ru-ral area have completed the survey so far; however a further 1,300 residents are required. Persons who complete the survey are automatically entered in a prize draw,

“Right now we are at 78 per cent of our total goal for the entire Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) region, which at 14,000 completed surveys is un-precedented for a health authority to obtain,” said Dr. Jat Sandhu, Regional Director of Public Health Surveillance at VCH. “The responses to date give us a perspective at the mu-nicipal level. What would be even more valuable is data at the neighbourhood level, which we would achieve if we reach our target number of survey respondents. This would

allow us to determine fac-tors that support leading healthier lives where we live, work, learn and play.”

The community that has reached its target is Madei-ra Park/Pender Harbour. The areas with the least number of surveys com-pleted are Pemberton and Powell River. For the latest survey progress by city or town, see www.myhealth-mycommunity.org/Prog ress.aspx.

“Statistics Canada pro-vides us with data at a municipal level,” said Dr. Paul Martiquet, Medical Health Officer at VCH. “However, if we are to create supportive envi-ronments for improving health we need to under-stand what is happening in your neighbourhood. So we’re encouraging every-one to do the survey, and especially residents in our more rural and smaller ar-eas such as Pemberton and Powell River.”

The survey can be completed at www.my healthmycommunity.org. The survey is available in English and Chinese. Ag-gregate survey results will be shared with municipal governments and commu-nity groups to help plan future community pro-grams and services.Submitted

Health and wellness survey needs 1,300 voices by June 30
