Jazzing it up in Gibsons

PHoto APryl Veld

Volunteer spirit and good vibes were the key to success for the 19th Annual Gibsons

Landing Jazz Festival.Held in the second week of June every year,

the festival spills down Gower Point Road, which is cordoned off so that taking a breather with kids, friends and neighbours makes for a sweet time.

Gibsons Mayor, Wayne Rowe opened the fes-tival saying, “Set aside your troubles and enjoy

the sounds,” and he thanked the many volun-teers and sponsors without whom the festival could not thrive as it does year after year.

The super line-up of musicians included local jazzers, Definitely Diva; the acoustic horn and drum group, Orkestar Slivovica Balkan Brass Band; the tribute band Van Django Trio with Keith Bennet; then hip-hopping Juno award winner Brad Turner and his Quartet, followed by African beat specialists, Zimbamoto.

Kids played with hulahoops, coloured chalk and hacky sacks, while street performers enter-tained everyone along with the fabulous music offerings. Listeners stayed cool under the tents or the leafy trees and merchants and service groups were on hand to offer some informa-tion unique gifts and refreshments along with local merchants.Apryl Veld - Contributing Writer

Last Sunday, people from across the riding nominated me as your Fed-

eral Liberal candidate for West Van-couver - Sunshine Coast - Sea to Sky Country.

I am honoured to be entrusted with the opportunity to represent our com-munity, and to contribute to the Lib-eral team led by Justin Trudeau.

We know that we need to change Ottawa for the better. We need a fed-eral government that listens to our communities and provides opportu-nity and hope to all Canadians. That is the type of team I led as Mayor of West Vancouver from 2005 to 2011,

and that is how I hope to represent our community as your Member of Parlia-ment.

I would like to thank the hundreds of members who voted, those who had hoped to vote but were unable to, and those who asked questions and offered great ideas.

We could never have run this nomi-nation campaign without the team of volunteers who helped sign up hun-dreds of new Liberal members from across the riding. Thank you! It was in-spiring to meet so many people at vot-ing stations in Squamish, West Van-couver and the Sunshine Coast. We

have made a good beginning to ensure that all of us are engaged leading into the next election.

I would like to thank Robert Can-non-Brown, who ran for the nomi-nation as well and contributed to the enthusiasm for change, and provided party members with a great choice.

Our growing team is focused on the 2015 election campaign, which is already underway. I look forward to meeting and learning from you in the coming months.

I hope you will join our team and help to improve our community and country.

Goldsmith-Jones snags West Vancouver Sunshine Coast - Sea to Sky Liberal nomination

Tru Love, a bittersweet love story about three

women whose hearts crack open, will be the featured film presented by Queer Projections at this year’s Sunshine Coast Pride Weekend. The award-win-ning Canadian film will be shown on Friday, June 27 at 7:30 pm at the Gibsons Heritage Playhouse.

In the film, Alice re-cently widowed and still in mourning, has decided to fly in on very short notice to visit her lawyer daughter Suzanne. Suzanne is too busy to spend time with her mother, and asks her friend Tru to “babysit” Alice. Tru, a bed-hopping, commit-ment-phobic lesbian with a talent for Frenchcook-ing, agrees to help Suzanne — a friend who apparently at some point, wasn’t just a friend. An unexpected attrac-tion builds between Tru and Alice, and Suzanne becomes increasingly threatened.

The film, directed by Kate Johnston and Shauna MacDonald, is the recipi-ent of critical aclaim and many awards, including the Best Feature Film Audience Award at the recent Inside/Out Film Festival in Toronto.

Tickets are $12 at the door or you can purchase on-line at: pride film tickets.

Pride Weekend com-memorates the Stonewall riots which took place on

Sunshine Coast Pride Film Night Presents Tru Love

June 28, 1969 in New York.The riots are considered

to be the inciting moment that sparked the gay libera-tion movement. Other events during the weekend include a performance by Kate Reid, a dance and silent auction at the Roberts Creek Hall on Saturday night.

More information and tickets available at http://sunshinecoastpride.com.

Queer Projections aims to bring queer films to the Sun-

shine Coast in order to pro-mote LGBTQ visibility and encourage communication and connections across our varied communities. Through these film events, we hope to foster understanding, equal-ity, diversity and counteract the effects of homophobia and discrimination. Queer Projections events are pro-duced by Rhizome Up! Media athttp://rhizomeup.ca. For more information go to: http://outonthecoast.ca/.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

Clean streets are smart streets

It’s said that some towns have streets paved with gold, while others … are paved with stones, bark, and cones

that are blown and washed there. Add litter and broken pieces from automobiles and, there’s a few obstacles in the way of any non-motorist moving down our streets on any given day. No big deal for some people, I guess.

If you are a person with a disability or other challenges, however, and if you require a mobility device: cane, walker or scooter, then gravel, trash or twigs can knock you on your keester, your noggin, or into oncoming cars. Bicycles and strollers are affected, too. Even motorists hitting gravel, built-up wet leaves or sand can lose traction. And anyone trying to avoid the debris by going around it onto cleaner asphalt outside the lines take their life in their hands; but sometimes there’s no alternative.

Towns and districts have a budget for street cleaning, and a certain portion of it is routinely kept for after stormy months. Since the Coast takes its fair share of forceful winds and rain storms into summer, it would be wise to set a small budget aside. Business owners might want to note how accessible their shops and venues are after a big blow, or in general. Is your entry or fire escape clean and wheel friendly? Do you have any leaning thorn-shrubs or heavy doors? These can be deal-breakers for some shoppers and dinner-seekers.

It can take tenacity to see that hazards are addressed. Con-cerned residents should feel welcomed to inform city staff and be taken seriously. All residents, including the less-mo-bile along with families who want to wheel around through-out the summer, will feel safer and enjoy going out more often to cafes, parks and stores. And when tourists arrive to our jewel of a region, they’re going to need to share those sidewalks, parking spots and crosswalks with residents, and they’re going to want accessible streets just like we want, and deserve. And for the record, helmets for wheelers are smart, considering the unexpected can always happen, and does. Apryl Veld – Contributing Writer - the Local Weekly news.

What kind of society do you want to live in?

I grew up in a just society, a social democracy that cared for its citizens through edu-cation, health care, and pen-sions. I don’t think anyone wants to revert to feudalism, or even a rigid class system, where 1% has most of the money and the rest have lit-tle. Last week in Gibsons, we experienced first hand what not having clean drinking water is like. Do we want to experience an illiterate society? Our provincial gov-ernment wants to move us in this direction. The Su-preme Court ruled this year that the BC government bargained in bad faith and forced teachers into a strike. Now it has done it again. Why? If they can break the BCTF, they are well on their way to a two-tiered system – private schools for the rich, and under-funded, over-crowded public schools for the rest. This is why teach-ers are out on the picket line without strike pay this week. Education may not be cheap, but having an ignorant population is far more expensive. Already, the provincial government funds private schools 50% with taxpayer dollars. Patti Bacchus, the chair of the Vancouver School Board, recently asked, “Should those schools be getting our public dollars when they wouldn’t take maybe my kid or your kid?” The funding of public education is not a matter of money but of will. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives recently published a Policy Note blog, which stated that if the richest 1% of British Columbians paid only a few percent more in taxes, the class size and composi-

tion guidelines the Supreme Court has ruled must be re-stored, could be. Do we vot-ers value the ultra rich more than children’s welfare? Susan Telfer

Woman in PoliticsOn Saturday, June 21, I

attended the “2014 Sun-shine Coast, Women’s Mu-nicipal Campaign School.” What great information. I was very disappointed to see such a small turnout from our ladies in Sechelt. As women in our community we need to wake up and get involved in what happens in our community. We are on the verge of another elec-tion. We do not need to fill our council with naysay-ers and stop Sechelt from moving forward. I urge the women of Sechelt to con-sider running for council. We need a strong contribu-tion on council from the women in this community. I know there are many out there who, if willing, would be great representatives on our council. Women are creative creatures and we need you to come forward and run for council. It is so very important to have a strong female contingent representing the needs of our community. This is a very redundant plea, but please consider the fact that you may have a lot to offer your community if you run for office. Sincerely, Anita Paulin

De-Stress for a Healthy LifeAs people continue to

face increased external stress in their lives, there is a movement afoot to find and embrace internal har-mony. The modern world is a fast-paced one; e-mails, text-messages, and banking

transactions happen in sec-onds, processes and rushed and impersonal and results are expected immediately. But is it all too much? To counteract this over-stim-ulation, more and more people are seeking ways to adopt a simpler, more intro-spective method of living. The ‘rat race’ of contempo-rary culture that often ne-cessitates spreading oneself too thin seems to be taking a back seat to activities more centered in thoughtful, in-trospective endeavors. Con-sequently, the pendulum appears to be swinging away from one measuring their success according to their materialistic accomplish-ments and, rather, seeking to find balance in one’s life at a more internal level.

Recent studies support this mindset stating that, even as our culture suggests otherwise, popularity, in-fluence and money do not make people happiest and, instead, autonomy, life pur-pose and relationships are found to be paramount. In-stead of ones wealth in life coming in the form of mon-ey, showy cars, fashionable clothing or exotic vacations, individuals are increasingly making more investments of their time and focus-ing their efforts into slow-ing down, reflecting and simply learning to breathe. This shift could be a health-saving change for a lot of people. Studies show that life stress that continues without relief may lead to a condition called distress - a negative stress reaction. Dis-tress can manifest itself in physical symptoms includ-ing headaches, upset stom-ach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress may also cause or

worsen certain symptoms or diseases.

Activities that encourage a slower, more thoughtful pace are popular and effec-tive avenues through which one can better support their mental and spiritual well-being while also supporting their physical health. For instance, yogis and their students alike can attest that yoga helps to access an inner strength that allows one to face the sometimes-overwhelming fears, frus-trations, and challenges of everyday life. The same can certainly be said for exercise, playing music, creating art, and a myriad of other en-riching endeavors.

Locally, the Sunshine Coast has both a broad and supportive array of ways to elevating oneself, both through organized forums - dance, yoga, art classes, music lessons, paddle board rentals, community events – or simply by getting out-side. The research is there to support the movement; a healthy, rested, inspired mind is the center of a happy life.Kristi Evans

Create a sign that is a personal expression of your connection to the forest, or concern of its possible loss. Materials provided.

This forest is a proposed BC Timber Sales Cutblock A87126. Logging contractors will have to pass by our signs as they scout out the value of the timber. Unfortunately, they’re blind to its inherent natural value.

Mayor’s Message

John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt

Jobs and ProsperityThe key role of local

government is to de-cide how to best use the resources our community has available to deliver a prosperous future for our citizens.

Time and time again I have heard people say we want and we need more jobs in Sechelt. And, in my view, these people are right. Jobs, and the investment required to create them, support existing businesses and enables a community to grow. Jobs also create an environment that is friendly for younger people. With-out investment and growth, communities tend to “age” and ultimately die.

Your Council has a strong commitment to promoting sustainable, innovative and environmentally responsible

growth in Sechelt. We do this in several ways including:

• By encouraging ‘infill’ development and support-ing increased population density in selected areas.

• By providing a legisla-tive framework that enables ‘smart growth’ for Sechelt (watch for our upcoming release of our modernized Zoning and Development Cost Charges Bylaws.)

• By continuing to pursue the Federal and Provincial governments for financial support for the expansion of our airport. (We have re-cently received an economic impact study for this project – suffice to say, the impor-tance of the airport to our future prosperity, is signifi-cant.)

These types of initiatives are the types of things that esnure Sechelt continues to be viewed as a great place to live and to do business.

In addition, Council looks forward to working with and enhancing our relations with the Sechelt Indian Band. It is an excit-ing time for the Band. Chief Craigan and his Council are

dynamic and strong leaders who share the goal of sus-tainable community devel-opment.

The future for Sechelt is very bright. As always, it won’t be without challeng-es. However, we are truly blessed with:

• opportunities to grow in a smart, sustainable and responsible manner

• having many people seeking to make their home here – and to do business here

• our close proximity to Greater Vancouver

• a strong reputation of embracing innovation and welcoming entrepreneurs, along with having leading edge services in our com-munity, such as fibre optic and high speed cable tele-communications and world class sustainable wastewater treatment.

• a dynamic and diverse range of social activities ranging from arts and cul-ture to sports and recre-ational activities.

• And, last but certainly not least, we have a quality of life that is second to none – and that we must, and will, protect.

On June 17, a resident in Secret Cove called

police to report that a car had been parked at a trail-head on Wescan Rd. for 3 days. The caller said that the trail, which goes out to the ocean, was only a short hike, and he was concerned someone may be lost.

Sunshine Coast RCMP located the vehicle and de-termined it was owned by a female from Vancouver. Neighbourhood enquiries were conducted, but no one knew why the vehicle was parked there. Officers from

the Vancouver Police De-partment went to the own-er’s residence in Vancouver, and were eventually able to confirm that the owner and a friend had gone camp-ing on the Sunshine Coast. Officers later met with the owner and explained the concern for her safety.

It’s important that anyone leaving their vehicle to go hiking or camping for any length of time leaves a note with their contact informa-tion or the date and time of their intended return said Cst Harrison Mohr with

Sunshine Coast RCMP. A note in a car window can let us know whether some-one is still out as planned, or whether someone is overdue and needs help. False alarms like these not only require the effort of multiple of-ficers, but our next step would have been to call out Search and Rescue.

The owner was very apol-ogetic and said she would be sure to leave a note in the future. Released byCst Harrison MohrGoogle Photo

Community Connec-tions program man-

ager, Kelly Foley reports Sunshine Coast Commu-nity Services Society, (SCC-SS) is currently evaluating its food literacy program, which provides clients with opportunities and tips on growing, cooking and pre-serving their own fruit and vegetables, and provides certificates for produce from the farmers’ market.

Foley attended the recent IGNITE! Barnraiser, and recognized distinct possi-bilities in partnering with Gibsons resident Danielle Arsenault’s social enterprise, Coast Canning Cooperative to offer a series of work-shops in food preservation.

“We’re definitely going to talk to them; we can see a huge value not only in practical terms in preserving food, but also integrating our clients in a community building exercise.”

Gibsons, BC - On June 21st, 2014, the birthday party for

William Baker, co-founder of the Outdoor Art Galleries Project be-ing planned for Gibsons, turned into a launch event for the Project with the first outdoor mural be-ing unveiled. The 4ft x 8 ft mural created by artist Elizabeth Evans, entitled “Trilogy in Time” depicts ocean, sky and land with an eagle, whale and a deer. The faint shadow of a bear reminds the viewer that as habitats disappear, so too will the creatures that depend on these hab-itats for their survival. The painting is executed in bright yellows, or-anges and blues in Evans’s unique brickilism style – essentially bricks of colour that merge and blend into a seamless pattern of representa-tional art.

“The birthday party was wonder-ful” stated Baker “but the painting

stole the afternoon”. After officially unveiling the artwork, it dominated both the backyard and the conver-sation among the 35 guests present for the unveiling. “While I would love to have this amazing painting remain in our yard, I feel it has to be shared with the rest of the Town” added Baker. “We have a few ex-ceptional locations picked out and need to finalize the installation de-tails. This painting will become a wonderful addition to the visual art experience that visitors and citizens enjoy when exploring the Town. We are continuing to work through the process of installing the rest of the 30 paintings that will be created by local artists and we want to give everyone an idea of exactly what can be expected once all these origi-nal painting are sprinkled around the Town.

The Outdoor Art Galleries proj-

ect was recently approved by the Town of Gibsons thereby making available a number of public loca-tions for installation of original art-work. The artworks will remain at the locations for about a year and then be exchanged for new work with the existing artwork being sold by auction.

“There is a lot of work yet to be done to bring this project to frui-tion but we’re excited to be getting started with this first installation”, remarked Baker.

“It took me about a month to create the work”, said Elizabeth Ev-ans. “There were a number of artis-tic challenges to overcome in work-ing on a painting this large and I’m very pleased with the final result”, she added. “I’m looking forward to seeing the painting located in a prom-inent spot in Gibsons Landing.

Close to 90 aspiring, and already launched women entrepreneurs met for the Self Employed Women’s Network (SEWN) event, last Thursday, where par-ticipants brain stormed and committed to forming a collective springboard in order to get the most out of their connections with each other.

“The event (at Gibsons Public Market) was won-derful… there was so much enthusiasm,” said Progress Plan co-chair, Pat Hunt.

Hunt explained that the Community Resource Centre (CRC) and Progress Plan-sponsored event was partly focused on addressing self-employment barriers that were identified through

previous round table talks.“The feedback from those

discussions around eco-nomic well-being of women were identified in issues and challenges tied to: belonging (to community), income, transportation, and the is-sue of care (of both children and older adults),”

She said guest speaker, Cheryl McNicol of McNi-col Business Services gave valuable advice in her talk about target markets and how forming smaller groups called “referral teams” helps curb the sense of isolation many women indicated is a key challenge.

The women attending, discovered they can be a powerful catalyst for change by trading services and ac-

cessing markets together, said Younghusband.

“Women are learning how to break down barri-ers,” she added, “an artist and an accountant can share services … and their target market reflects their values.”

Young husband noted that SEWN participants are stepping up to lead commit-tees, hold regular meetings and work together in small groups. Watch for more events from this movement at www.progressplan.ca

The Progress Plan is a federal Status of Women-sponsored initiative that is in the third of its three-year program.

June 28 at the District Of ce Library Lawn It started out as a dream

and it ended up grow-ing beyond their wildest dreams.

That’s how an accessible playground materialized, according to Susan Shinn, West Sechelt Playground Enhancement Committee Chair.

And now it’s being un-veiled with a celebration at West Sechelt Elementary School this Saturday, June 28, at 2 p.m.

“We saw children at the school unable to play with the other kids,” says Shinn, “and when we saw this we realized the need to build an inclusive playground.”

She and her colleagues began planning and fun-draising, and the group of nine original members got things started.

“But then the committee ended up with only three members,” Sheen relates. The three ended up being Shinn herself, Allyson Faw-

cus, treasurer and Christine Wood, the group’s secretary.

“We began working night and day for the last two years to raise enough money so that we could put the playground together,” Shinn notes with enthusi-asm.

Humble events such as bottle drives, pub nights and a ladies night got the fundraising started – a total of $30,000 they were able to put into their coffers. But then they realized the play-ground was accessible only to a point.

“I saw how my mom who has mobility issues couldn’t take anyone to play there because the ground was pea gravel,” Shinn explained. This led to the group seeing that any child or adult need-ing to get in there would need a solid, soft surface.

A major breakthrough for the group came when they heard that Tire Stewardship BC would match what they

had fundraised to put in a rubber floor beneath the structures.

“So then our bank ac-count had $60,000,” Shinn enthused.

After filling out the forms and footing that cost, they still needed to purchase the playground equipment. An-other grant came from For-tis BC and the rest from the Baris Foundation.

“We are so grateful for community getting behind us and making a place for all to play,” the mother and fundraiser notes.

She said that the three women in the group who made the playground a re-ality worked well from the beginning and have become even better friends.

“We’re just so happy to see it open, and that no matter what your age or mobility issue, it’s a place of play for all!”Apryl Veld – Contributing writer

Special Olympics Sun-shine Coast held their

volunteer Appreciation Banquet at the Sechelt Le-gion on Saturday June 7.

Over a hundred athletes, coaches, volunteers and guests gathered together to celebrate the very special ef-forts of people in the com-munity who support the athletes.

The evening opened with a welcome by Pat Stuart, who then introduced ath-lete reporter Micheal Os-wald reading a short piece comparing Ancient Greek Olympics with modern day Special Olympics.

After dinner, recogni-

tions, awards and perfor-mances got underway. First was the presentation of a trophy and medals to the Ravens Softball Team by coach, Randy Young-husband. Also there were congratulations and special acknowledgements given to Genny Verge for being accepted to compete in the BC Summer Games and to Christel Jensen, Marie Telder and Chuck Bertrand, who will be attending the Special Olympics National Games in Vancouver in July.

Everyone was then treated to a number of performanc-es from three members of the Rhythmic Gymnastics

group: Linsey Davidson, Amanda Boghean and The-resa Presley.

Next, five new athletes and fifteen new coaches and volunteers were formally welcomed into Special Olympics and coaches, as-sistant coaches and volun-teers from winter and spring sports, as well as those who work either all year round or for one-time events filled the stage as they were given praise. It has been a year of much growth in our Sun-shine Coast Chapter.

The generosity of the community volunteering their time and effort was also matched by financial

Special Olympics Volunteers Recognized June 2014

support from two benefac-tors. Jordan McCourt pre-sented a cheque to local Co-ordinator, Pat Stuart, from money he raises all year long by collecting cashable bottles and cans, and Geor-gina Chubby and Brenda Morain presented a cheque from the Lions Club. We

know the money will be put to excellent use.

Finally, the attendees enjoyed a fabulous slide show put together by Pro-gram Coordinator, Annette Bertrand. All the athletes, coaches and volunteers saw themselves framed in hilar-ity and dedication.

In all, a great evening for everyone involved. We are all looking forward to regis-tration time in September. If you know anyone who is interested in becoming involved in Special Olym-pics as an athlete or a vol-unteer, contact Pat Stuart at [email protected]


Roaring engines took centre stage at the race

track on June 22, and it will be even more awesome when August comes! That was the sentiment at the Sechelt Airport as the Ted Meldrum Memorial Drag Races smoked and squealed their way down the Sechelt Airport strip last Sunday. Hosted by the Sunshine Coast Drag Racing As-sociation (SCDRA), the event saw lots of local racers and long-time racers in the 20-year-old event, includ-ing drivers from Gibsons,

Celebrate Canada Day with the Royal Astro-

nomical Society – Sunshine Coast Centre at Hackett Park in Sechelt. We’ll be set up with information, star and moon finders and so-lar telescopes for safe view-ing of the sun, clear skies permitting. Find out about your local club and see how we can help enhance your astronomy experience!

To continue the theme of recent columns, here are some July sky events that can be observed without optical aid:

July 2 — Venus passes 4° north of Aldebaran in the morning sky.

July 5 — The first quar-

ter Moon passes between Mars and Spica in evening twilight.

July 7 — The Moon pass-es 0.4° south of Saturn.

July 13 — Mars passes 1.4° north of Spica.

July 24 — The Moon passes 4° south of Venus. (morning sky)

July 28-29— The South-ern Delta Aquariid meteor shower peaks.

Around July 4th and 5th, asteroid hunters can set their sights eight degrees above Mars and Spica to see if they can observe asteroids Ceres and Vista as they cross paths in the constellation Virgo. Don’t worry about a collision. They are more

than 80 million kilometres apart!

The Summer Triangle asterism is coming into its prime position high above us. As dusk starts to fall, see if you can spot its three ma-jor stars as they pop out of the twilight: Deneb in the great constellation Cygnus; brilliant Vega in Lyra; and Altair in Aquila. This aster-ism can be an important tool in finding your way around the summer sky!

Join us for Astro Cafe on Friday July 18th around 8:30 p.m at Pier 17. Tele-scopes will be set up on the sea wall weather permitting. Everyone is welcome. Bring your binoculars, your tele-

scopes, or just your enthu-siasm!

This 1/8th mile track was lined with cheering fans and was announced by a first-rate race caller who kept the fans up to snuff on the matches as they came roar-ing up to the Christmas tree light stand and the burnout box.

A group of local drivers and car buffs who were too shy to go on record talked about the history of the races.

“I remember when they used logs from the mill to line the course,” said one man.

“This is a great event which really brings people together,” said another, “it’s a real family event – no al-cohol is allowed inside the gates.”

Families who race to-gether stay together was the motto of the Stanley-Clarke family who have several members including a young woman racer and are locat-ed in Roberts Creek.

Both lower Sunshine Coast high schools have mechanics programs that prepare cars for the races ev-ery year as well.

The trophy winners in-cluded Glyn Rose winner of Super Street class, with Keith Tucker runner up, Russel Anderson, Hot Rod winner and Brian McLen-nan as runner up, Street Machine winner was Levi Stanley Clarke, with run-ner up Steven Hoops, and Street Rod winner was Shawn Boyd, with runner up Bruce Seabrook.

Ted Meldrum – described as a quiet but energetic and organized gentleman – passed away in 2013 after a struggle with cancer. He could always be counted on to ‘get the job done’ and was the catalyst for many proj-ects, according to friends and family.

Meldrum’s wife, Janet, and their their grandson were on hand to present the Meldrum Memorial Trophy to driver, Robert Rhodes.

Ted’s jacket and helmet was presented to Janet Mel-drum by Jimmy Osvalda for whoever in their family takes up racing.

“We had a good turn out and it would be good if we can keep (the drag races) going,” said organizer and SCDRA president, Tony Petula,”if community comes out to support them, they should, because we need to keep these events on the Coast.” Apryl Veld

One of the shining stars of tennis on the Sun-

shine Coast is 20 year old Madison Shoemaker who currently attends Seton Hall University in New Jersey playing NCAA Di-vision 1 tennis – she began lessons with local coach, Jacques Joyal when she was eight and over the years has played in 12 Canadian

National Championships among many other com-petitions. Each year 350 school children take part in tennis programs at Suncoast Racquet Club.

While everyone will not be a star, everyone can hit the ball and is welcome at Suncoast Racquet Club. Throughout the year a va-riety of fun tournaments,

leagues and social events are held. For information in-cluding booking public play (Monday evenings: 8:00-9:30 and Saturdays 12:30 to 3:30 pm) and clinics call Jacques 604 741-7858; www.srctennis.ca, Face-book: SRCTennis. Summer tennis camps are offered for children and youth.

As people continue to face increased external

stress in their lives, there is a movement afoot to find and embrace internal har-mony. The modern world is a fast-paced one; e-mails, text-messages, and banking transactions happen in sec-onds, processes and rushed and impersonal and results are expected immediately. But is it all too much?

To counteract this over-stimulation, more and more people are seeking ways to adopt a simpler, more intro-spective method of living. The ‘rat race’ of contempo-rary culture that often ne-cessitates spreading oneself too thin seems to be taking a back seat to activities more centered in thoughtful, in-trospective endeavors. Con-sequently, the pendulum appears to be swinging away from one measuring their success according to their materialistic accomplish-ments and, rather, seeking to find balance in one’s life at a more internal level.

Recent studies support this mindset stating that, even as our culture suggests otherwise, popularity, in-fluence and money do not

make people happiest and, instead, autonomy, life pur-pose and relationships are found to be paramount. In-stead of ones wealth in life coming in the form of mon-ey, showy cars, fashionable clothing or exotic vacations, individuals are increasingly making more investments of their time and focus-ing their efforts into slow-ing down, reflecting and simply learning to breathe. This shift could be a health-saving change for a lot of people. Studies show that life stress that continues without relief may lead to a condition called distress - a negative stress reaction. Dis-tress can manifest itself in physical symptoms includ-ing headaches, upset stom-ach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress may also cause or worsen certain symptoms or diseases.

Activities that encourage a slower, more thoughtful pace are popular and effec-tive avenues through which one can better support their mental and spiritual well-being while also supporting their physical health. For

instance, yogis and their students alike can attest that yoga helps to access an inner strength that allows one to face the sometimes-overwhelming fears, frus-trations, and challenges of everyday life. The same can certainly be said for exercise, playing music, creating art, and a myriad of other en-riching endeavors.

Locally, the Sunshine Coast has both a broad and supportive array of ways to elevating oneself, both through organized forums - dance, yoga, art classes, music lessons, paddle board rentals, community events – or simply by getting out-side. The research is there to support the movement; a healthy, rested, inspired mind is the center of a happy life.

Canada Day celebrations are marked by many

spectacles. But few can gar-ner the “oohs and aahs” of a good fireworks display. Summer is a time of year when the resonating booms and bright spills of color that dot the night sky are quite common.

Fireworks, which can be traced back thousands of years, have an interesting history. Many historians believe fireworks originated in ancient China as early as 200 B.C. It is thought that early fireworks were not the gunpowder-filled explosives of today, but something made from bamboo, a material native to China. Chunks of bam-boo, a thick, fast-growing grass, may have been tossed onto a fire as fuel. The rods would blacken, but even-tually explode in the fire, causing a loud, frightening noise. This noise was a re-

sult of trapped air and sap inside of the bamboo rods heating and expanding until the bamboo exploded under the pressure. The exploding bamboo was used to ward off animals, other people and evil spirits.

Chinese alchemists even-tually stumbled on a recipe for basic gunpowder, mix-ing together saltpeter (po-tassium nitrate, then a com-mon kitchen seasoning), charcoal, sulfur, and other ingredients. This powder was packed inside of hol-low bamboo rods to pro-duce an even bigger bang. Soon paper tubes replaced the bamboo, and fireworks were used for more than just scaring away spirits, as they were routinely included in special celebrations and even deployed during mili-tary engagements.

Fireworks may have be-gun in China, but they were soon being used around the

world. Italians had been fas-cinated with fireworks ever since the explorer Marco Polo brought back fire-crackers from Asia in 1292. During the Renaissance in Europe, the Italians began to develop fireworks into a true art form. Since this was a period of artistic creativity and expression, many new fireworks were created.

“Firemasters” were fire-works experts in medieval England. They worked with “green men,” who wore caps of leaves to protect them-selves from raining sparks from the fireworks.

In 1758, the Jesuit mis-sionary Pierre Nicolas le Cheron d’Incarville, living in Beijing, wrote to the Paris Academy of Sciences about the methods and composi-tion of fireworks, including how to make many types of Chinese fireworks.

The world remains fas-cinated by fireworks even

now. Fireworks displays have grown more elaborate over the years, requiring the skills of pyrotechnic experts, carpenters and digital sound masters. Various powders and chemicals mixed to-gether produce a rainbow display of colors and aerial tricks that would likely have shocked the earliest firework creators.Not forgetting its origins, China continues to produce and export more fireworks than any other country in the world. Safety experts recommend the public leave fireworks to the pro-fessionals and sit back and relax during awe-inspiring pyrotechnic displays. As the United States and Canada prepare for their respective Canada Day celebrations, flashy fireworks displays are bound to be part of the festivities. Metro

North Vancouver BC – The BC Bike Race is excited to announce that North Vancouver, home of the in-famous North Shore trails, will host the opening stage for 2014.

Going into year eight BC Bike Race the “Ultimate Singletrack Experience” will make a slight change to its route by hosting stage one in North Vancouver. After three years away the trail conditions are right to bring the event back.

The iconic ladder bridges of the North Shore are some of the most recognizable trail features in adventure tourism today. Bike Maga-zine recently recognized North Vancouver as “one of the most influential bike destinations in the world”.

“The legendary North Shore has played a big part in the development of the global mountain biking history and connecting the circle route of this history from North Vancouver to Whistler just makes sense. “ said BC Bike Race president Dean Payne. “We want to offer our participants the ride of their lives!”

The North Shore is chang-ing, under the trail steward-ship of Mark Woods and the NSMBA (North Shore Mountain Bike Association) the building style is new school with lots of ‘pump and flow’. This has made the trail access much more universal and the riding ex-perience that much better.

Stage 2 will take place in Cumberland, stage 3

in Powell River and from there the course will remain mostly the same as the pre-vious editions; the Sun-shine Coast, Sechelt, stage 4 and 5, Squamish, stage 6 and Whistler the final day, stage 7.

BC Bike Race would like to thank Campbell River for being an amazing part-ner over the last three years. Their excellent handcrafted trails have provided thou-sands of riders from over 35 countries with a mind-blowing singletrack experi-ence. http://campbellriver-tourism.com/

BC Bike Race will contin-ue into it’s 3rd year with the Enduro special segments, 2 per day and the 4 Shimano kids races: North Vancou-ver, Cumberland, Sechelt

and Squamish. The new course in North Vancouver will be announced in the early spring.

When someone gets in-timate with language,

it shows in their work and in their world view.

Philip Kevin Paul is one such poet, and his quiet style and bold honesty was a treat for those attending his reading at the Gibsons Pub-lic Art Gallery last Saturday evening.

A Vancouver Island resi-dent from the Wsanec na-tion on the Saanich Pennin-sula, Paul shared a sampling of poems from his latest

book, Little Hunger, pub-lished by Gibsons’ Night-wood Editions. Paul read poems and spoke with his fans in English as well as in the lilting dance of his mother tongue, which has been on the verge of extinc-tion for years.

There are a scant few who are presently fluent in the Sencoten language, he ex-plained.

“There are only eight of us … along with a second gen-eration of some very fluent

young speakers.”The author also described

his reluctance to publish and read his poems, and he praised Sunshine Coast publisher, Silas White for helping him take his poetry seriously, and to share it.

“I wasn’t driven in school,” Paul said, noting that depression hampered his writing efforts, but he noted his Nightwood pub-lisher was not deterred, “(White) called me numer-ous times over three years

… giving me encourage-ment, and he even came to my house.” Paul assists linguists from University of Victoria and University of Texas with the grammar of his mother tongue, that has a character which clearly echoes values of respect and honesty mirrored in his poetry. The Little Hunger author shares his cultural mythologies and described how Sencoten speakers are reluctant to name things in conversation.

“There’s a discourtesy in naming places … and to not impose your view, so we say, ‘that over there’ because it’s discourteous to assume your view (in naming a place) is the only view,” Paul notes.

He added that he believes naming places and things is a reflection of our human needs and memory, “I’ve never known a place named for its benefit,” the Dorothy Livesay award-winning au-thor said.

Poet shares intimate feelings and culture at GPAG

Driftwood Players is pre-paring a production of

Daniel MacIvor’s “Marion Bridge” to be performed at Heritage Playhouse in Gib-sons form November 13 to 23, 2014.

Our Director will be Lori Pepper who prepared the very successful “Bedfull of Foreigners” for Peninsula Players in 2011. Lori will be assisted by dramaturge, Bob Hunt.

Daniel MacIvor is one of Canada’s foremost play-

wrights, known for the wry brilliance of his dialogue and interplay of characters. Driftwood and Bob Hunt produced MacIvor’s “Never Swim Alone” at Heritage Playhouse in 2008.

“Three women in their thirties come “home” to Cape Breton to be with their dying mother. Each in her own way tries to deal with the painful loneliness of their lives - each is try-ing to reconcile what they have become with what

they thought they wanted out of life and with what they thought their parents wanted for them. Nothing, of course, has turned out ex-actly the way anyone imag-ined it would.”

Auditions are scheduled for noon to 3:00 pm on Saturday, July 5 and Sun-day, July 6, 2014 at Heri-tage Playhouse. A prepared monologue is optional. If you do not bring some-thing, then we will have you read from the script.

Parts required:Three females to play

characters in their late 30s to early 50s.

Driftwood Players is an amateur company, so no financial remuneration can be paid, just fun and glory as compensation!

If you are interested in auditioning, or assisting off-stage, send a quick reply to [email protected] or call Lori (604)-741-7456, Bob (604)740-0105 or Bill (604)840-0304.

Audition Notice: “Marion Bridge”

incurred for projects that demonstrate innovation, experimentation and risk taking. Funding will be provided towards new works by organizations with a demonstrated track record in the creation, development and produc-tion or public presentation of new work.

Applications are also be-ing accepted for Capacity and Sustainability, a special project program designed to support specific initiatives in human resources, market-ing and development or the acquisition of small capital assets.

Application deadline for these two programs is July

2, 2014. Arts-based Com-munity Development proj-ect applications are being accepted until July 15, 2014. These awards are available to assist with projects that develop and extend the practice and understanding of arts-based community development through the processes of

creating art, producing events, and developing resource materials for arts-based community develop-ment practitioners.

Barbeque season can get meat eaters all fired up, but in my experience, unless I bring something substantial to

eat and share, as a vegan I will be picking at the carrot sticks until the sun goes down. This year I am coming prepared with fabulous bean burgers. On a bun and dressed with condi-ments my burger will be the belle of the burger ball. Because it is tasty without using a lot of additional fats you can bet it will also be the healthiest choice of the night.

This recipe comes from cook and author Dreena Burton. I have over 20 vegan cookbooks, but I use only about 3 of them regularly. My dog-eared, tomato spattered copy of her book, Let Them Eat Vegan has seen a lot of use. Find-ing good cookbooks is important, as each author will help you stretch your ideas to develop your fabulous vegan recipe repertoire.

Kalamata olives, fresh oregano, and other Mediterranean-inspired seasonings give these healthy meat-free burgers a perky twist!

2 cans (14 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed 1 to 2 medium to large cloves garlic, roughly chopped (use 1 for kid-friendly)2 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste1 1/2 tablespoon red wine or balsamic vinegar1 teaspoon (little generous) Dijon mustard 3/4 cup green onions, sliced (using mostly green portion, and less white)1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (fresh is best, but if you don’t have it, substitute about 1 1/2 – 2 tsp dried oregano)1/2 teaspoon (rounded) sea saltfreshly ground black pepper to taste 1 1/4 cups rolled oats (use certified gluten-free for that option)1/3 – 1/2 cup kalamata olives, roughly chopped (see note)1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (optional, see note)In a food processor, combine the kidney beans, garlic, to-

mato paste, vinegar, and mustard. Pulse until pureed. Add the green onions, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste, and process to break up and blend. Add the oats and pulse to begin to incorporate. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl (or remove the blade) and stir in the olives and red pep-per (if using; see note). Refrigerate the mixture for 30 to 45 minutes, then shape into patties with your hands (see note). To cook, wipe a smidgen of oil over a non-stick skillet on medium/medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Alternatively, bake the patties for about 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees, flipping once through cooking. Makes 6-7 patties.

Refrigerating the mixture is important as it helps the burger mixture firm up. When you first start to pulse in the oats, the mixture will appear somewhat loose. But, the oats absorb moisture as the mixture sits and refrigerates, and once you remove to shape into patties you’ll notice the mix-ture has firmed up some.

Ingredients 411: If you dislike olives and want to omit them altogether, note that you may want to add another few pinches of salt to season the mixture, as the olives con-tribute a salty bite

Garden matchmakers can hook you upHome & GardenLocalthe

Got a garden or a pair of strong hands and some enthusiasm — you’re in.

Thanks to a project by the One Straw Society’s Hands on the Land project, you could be snacking fresh veggies and playing in the dirt, depending on what you are able to do or have for resources.

That’s the beauty of the project, notes Joe James of One Straw Society.

“If you’ve got extra land to share for peo-

ple who want to garden and grow vegeta-bles, or you’re someone who needs land to grow food, then send us an e-mail to [email protected]” James says.

Food lovers take note, gardeners can be connected with a landowner where you live or want to garden on the Sunshine Coast.

James says that as the public profile of One Straw keeps growing, there are more hands showing up.

What you give and take from the Hands on the Land project is up to the people who are matched up, James says, they merely match the land people with the gardeners.

Some of the garden owning people don’t have time to work their beds and some are just not in good enough physical condition, but watching gardens go fallow is an un-happy occasion for some former-gardeners.

“What we do is we try to put people to-

gether. Some are more ambitious than oth-ers, but usually the gardeners share a por-tion of the produce with the landowner folks,” he explained.

“In the seven years of the program’s existence, this is the most successful year,” James affirmed.

He noted that the One Straw organiza-tion was started by the late Robin Wheeler, a Coast resident and garden enthusiast.

Dogs can feel stressed by a variety of things:

threats from other dogs or from people, violent or ag-gressive behavior, incon-sistent expectations, use of punishing equipment like prong or choke collars, play periods that are too long and overwhelming, pain or illness, hunger or thirst, too much activity day after day without enough time to rest between activities, be-ing walked on a short leash and/or wearing equipment that inhibits the dog’s ability to create distance between herself and another dogs (if she needs it) when meeting another dog. These are just a few reasons a dog can feel stressed.

Stress in dogs can lead to serious and expensive health problems

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.

When the dog is stressed, stress hormones are pro-duced and the body goes into a state of alarm. Ex-haustion follows and, if the body is not allowed to recov-er, disease can follow. Raised levels of the hormone corti-sol (one of the hormones re-leased when a body is under stress) sustained over time can weaken the immune system and result in adapta-tion diseases like kidney and heart disease and diseases of the gastrointestinal system.

We often recognize stress related behavior in mem-bers of our own species and stressed dogs display some of a variety of recognizable behaviors such as startling easily, compulsive behavior, biting the leash, suddenly reacting to normally famil-iar situations, restlessness and an apparent inability to relax, excessive barking and whining, panting, scratch-ing, urine marking, loss

of appetite, diarrhea and vomiting. Stress also causes muscles to tense and, if the dog is not allowed to move and loosen those muscles in a stressful situation, trem-bling and cramping can oc-cur (a good reason to avoid demanding a stressed dog to “sit” or “down” - it is better, for a variety of reasons, to lead them out of the stress-ful situation and allow the muscles to move and relax). A stressed dog who does not show signs of stress anymore is “shut down” and frozen.

To help a stressed dog, make sure she has time to relax between periods of excitement, create a sched-ule so the dog can antici-pate what is coming next, train in a calm and reward based manner, help the dog out of situations that may be frightening or anxiety producing and be reason-able in one’s expectations of the dog.

Whether hosting a fam-ily reunion, a gath-

ering of friends or a mix of both, such gatherings can be a great time to reconnect with your loved ones in a relaxing and natural setting.

Hosting such gather-ings might not require as much work as organizing a more formal get-together, but that doesn’t mean sum-mer soirees don’t require a little work in advance of the guests’ arrival. That’s es-pecially true if you plan to host the party outdoors in your yard, which will need a little TLC before guests ar-rive. The following are a few tips to get your yard ready before your next summer soiree.

* Cut the grass and clear your walkways. Cutting the grass before guests ar-rive might seem like com-mon sense, but try to do so a couple of days before the party. This gives you an extra day or so to clear the walkways of grass clippings, and it saves you the trouble of cutting the grass on the day of the party when you’re likely to have more pressing tasks to take care of.

* Decorate your yard. Decorations are a staple of parties held indoors, so why

Backyard soirees are a staple of summer for many families.not decorate your home’s exterior when hosting a get-together in the backyard? Use freshly cut flowers from your own garden as center-pieces on your patio furni-ture, or purchase flowers of various colors from your lo-cal florist to add a dash or two of color to the festivi-ties.

* Clear the yard of toys. Before guests arrive, clear the yard of the kids’ toys, putting them away so guests don’t injure themselves by stepping on errant action figures or skateboards left hidden in the grass.

* Trim trees and shrubs around walkways. While a backyard barbecue is less formal than a party held indoors, you still want your home to be as accommo-dating as possible for your guests. Don’t forget to trim trees and shrubs around the walkways so guests don’t feel like they’re on safari when coming to and from the backyard.

* Make sure outdoor lighting is working properly. If you’re about to host your first event of the summer, inspect your home’s exterior lighting so everyone isn’t left sitting in the dark. Check

patio lighting and replace any bulbs and make sure the lights along your walk-ways are functioning at full capacity so guests can safely navigate their way around the party. You may even want to string holiday lights around the patio to create a more laid-back ambiance in which guests can relax with-out lights beating down on them.

* Protect your guests from insects. Insects like mos-quitoes can quickly turn a swinging soiree into a nui-sance, so purchase some decorative citronella candles to repel mosquitoes. Tiki torches along walkways and around the patio furniture may also prove effective in-sect repellants. In addition, if there are any areas around your property where water has gathered, such as bird fountains or puddles from recent rains, do your best to get rid of that water. Water attracts many insects, which lay their eggs in the stand-ing water. Backyard gather-ings are a staple of summer. But even if such soirees are less formal, hosts still must survey their property and address any issues before guests arrive. Metro

Horoscope

Check your stars for the week

Tip of the Week:Summer is under way.

Looking back we came through the great and in some cases dreaded Car-dinal Grand Square. Some were very much affected by it while others did not no-tice a thing, at least not in their life. But they might have noticed it in the lives of others, if they knew what they were looking for and appreciate the syn-chronicity factor. People with planets somewhere between 10 and 18 degrees or so of Cardinal Signs will have experienced the di-rect ‘influence’ of thus of changes in their life.

Astrology illustrates that there most certainly is a rhyme and reason, time and season to things. It can be described as an in-ner intelligence, purpose and plan if you like. Some call it destiny. Although this is quite evident and even measurable and de-monstrable, mainstream academia rejects it. Thus so too do ‘the masses’. Even the most educated people can be very dogmatic as-suming that their perspec-tives are purely objective.

Over the next 10 days or so the Sun will trigger and thereby re-activate the Car-dinal Grand Square. So, it will provide another shift or series of synchronistic events producing measur-able changes, especially for those with planets at those degrees. In fact this will be true if you have any plan-ets or angles within these degrees but will prove es-pecially potent if they are in Cardinal Signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capri-corn. You can prove it for yourself by looking at your own Astrology chart to see if you have planets in Car-dinal Signs and if so ask yourself if some major, life changing events have and are now occurred. Stop be-lieving or not, take a scien-tific approach and put it to the test. Casually relegating the synchronicities to the coincidence dustbin is just that, but don’t call it science or sincerity. Summer has be-gun and the temperature is rising, and so too is the bar. Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)New thoughts, ideas and perceptions have been seeded and have now begun to gestate in your mind. These are directly linked to home and fam-ily. At best you feel more confident than ever. Yet there are some challeng-ing bits to contend with as well. These are linked to achieving a new bal-ance and/or quality of

fairness in your most in-timate relationships.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Just when you might have thought things would slow down, they are actual-ly speeding up! Yet you are challenged to focus more deliberately now, thought the task of tending to a variety of fronts remains. This means that you must continue to work hard and put in the extra time. Call it the final push through the finish line… for the current round anyway.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Creating and/or realiz-ing a new state and quality of abundance and security continues. Inspired expres-sions of art and beauty will support the first feature of this flow. The other will be achieved by clear and acknowledged expressions of gratitude. Deciphering what makes you special is directly linked to focus-ing to share your gifts and these will produce more abundance and so on…Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)You are like a racehorse

out of the gates. The only trouble is that you may not be clear about the objective of the race or the best direction to take. Still, you are will-ing to go big and take leaps and bounds and risks too. Beyond win-ning, as important as it can be, the main goal is to do what you do well, in fact, better than ever.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Being able to see the

bottom. So your challenge is to have faith that you can dive deep, without obstruction, and that you will resurface again. Still, consciously managing your breath will help, a lot.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)New plans born of deep

visions that have sud-denly come to light are yours to enjoy now. You may even choose to for-mulate these into more practical endeavors. Ei-ther way, you are about to enter into a very creative cycle. Yet, it will require faith, discipline and in-telligence to achieve your objectives. P.S. Go big!

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)A whirl wind of activ-

ity continues to keep you busy. This is especially true in your public and professional life. And this week you can expect some very powerful acti-vations. Fortunately you are in an assertive mood. Cultural activities and travel are featured. You want to explore, experi-ence and experiment and your imagination is lead-ing you onward.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Nurturing new visions and philosophies has be-gun. Some of these may

well be linked to inven-tions. And it may be a process of re-inventing yourself that is at stake. In other respects, you may simply be awed and amazed at the genius of others and of life in gen-eral. In any case, you ap-preciate the intricacies and are focused on the details of the design.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

The next phase of clear-ing the old to make way for the new has begun. By now this has become the new norm. Still, the next phase has begun and it is a pretty deep one. Now you must purge some old beliefs and self-concepts, but they may also be just old fantasies and illu-sions. Is there anything you feel attached to, but upon reflection is simply not worth it?Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Something new has begun in your life. It is something inside of you, or in your home and fam-ily. As exciting as it may

be, it may also be the source of some disrup-tion. The status quo will change as a consequence and this has already be-gun. Now what you need is some instruction so you know what to do and how to do it.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

The time has come to make some important ad-justments and improve-ments. These are directly linked to your repertoire of talents. As important as are reason and logic, intuition and imagina-tion must play key roles too. This challenge will

compel you to conduct research and investiga-tion. Yet allow room for creative brainstorming as well for best results.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are in the mood to have some fun. You want to play and this includes others. And you feel am-bitious and determined as well. Like an enthusi-astic child at an amuse-ment park, you want to do it all and you mean business. While strategy, decision making and fol-low through are implied, avoid thinking too much and just do it.
