On a sparkling summer morning, I found myself roaring down Highway 19A heading into Qualicum Beach on a mission to find ... well, it

doesn’t matter, it’s not part of the story. I had driven this highway hundreds of times before, always with a single-minded focus on a particular destination, but this day was different.

For no reason at all, I made a turn. Suddenly, I had the urge to veer off my usual trodden path. I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t want a plan. I just wanted to explore.

The unfamiliar road weaved through a residential community of manicured lawns and flower beds, poked into a more sparsely populated rural landscape, and finally curled into a cul-de-sac snuggled up against a lush forest. I parked.

Why hadn’t I explored this road before? That simple question opened the sluice gate on a flood of thoughts as I pondered the ‘road less travelled’, and the philosophy that had altered my route that day. I wondered why we so often choose the familiar rather than the unfamiliar.

“What next?” I whispered.

I was feeling a little lost until I noticed a small sign almost hidden by a stand of Wild Rose bushes.

I closed the sunroof, locked the car and set off along a cedar-mulched path that transported me into another world. I felt like I had opened the closet door to Narnia.

The forest was serene, not unlike the comforting serenity of a cathedral on a Wednesday when no one was there. It was a magical place were fresh green ferns on the hunt for a sunbeam poked up through dried leaves, and trickles of cold mountain water scrambled along a creek bed that would ultimately lead to the Salish Sea.

Sunlight shot through cedar boughs and lit the path before me, encouraging a meditative walk. I took the time to ponder this world ... its dappled light, the variety of mosses and ferns, the thick bark of ancient Douglas Fir, the wavering cries of a Great Horned Owl, and the buzz of a Rufous Hummingbird. I stopped and looked up into the trees and watched as Mother Nature did something truly amazing ... she breathed! It’s a memory that I will long cherish.

The experience of that day had been waiting for me all along. All I had to do was make an unexpected turn to find it.

I encourage you to explore and discover our region of Vancouver Island this season. I mean really explore it. Every nook. Every cranny.

Choose to move with an air current or a whim. Left or right doesn’t matter. Wherever you may be, if you’ve never travelled down that road before, go there. Just go there.

Your heart and soul might find a joyful adventure just because you slightly altered your course. ~

I’m sure you’ve already heard the amused buzz about Smoke ’n Water’s controversial ‘no tipping’ policy.

Compared to other restaurants, it’s definitely unusual, but it seems to work for them – so, ‘nuf said!

I’m more interested in Smoke ’n Water’s magic in the kitchen, and there’s definitely some conjuring going on. In a good way. In fact, in a very good way.

I like Smoke ’n Water. I like the giant aquariums filled with west coast fish. I like the rich tones of the decor. I like the open kitchen where all the magic is happening. And I like the food!

There’s something to be said for a restaurant where peals of laughter and

singing spontaneously erupt from the kitchen. When the chefs are happy, you just know that the food they’re preparing will be wonderfully creative, fun and tasty. Owner, David Jones manages the kitchen with an easy hand, and you’ll often see him delivering plates to customers himself.

I was delighted with the pairing of Coconut Prawns and Creole Marmalade, and certainly surprised by its unexpected undertone of horseradish...subtle yet distinct. Nothing about it overpowering. Everything about it memorable.

The Garlic Cheddar Biscuits were as flaky as flaky can be... I almost ordered

a set of six to take home! An ample fillet of Pacific Coho was grilled to perfection and delicately brushed with a sumptuous semi-sweet teriyaki sauce. Did I detect a hint of ginger? I think so. Enthusiastic ‘high fives’ for the sauces and dressings made in-house by Smoke ’n Water’s culinary ‘talents’ with undeniably inventive palates.

Barbecue is big here, so don’t be shy about ordering ribs, chicken or a prime steak hot off the wood-burning grill. They’re all worth the price of admission and delectably decadent when smothered in the resturant’s spin on BBQ sauce! Oh my!

Things often change dramatically in a community but the continued survival of our annual

FALL FAIR – August 30th, 2014 has been maintained. The year 2014 marks the 44th Fall Fair and the opportunity for community members to display their resourcefulness and their many talents.

The 2014 Fall Fair theme is Sew It/Sow It, Grow It, Show It and this will give our community members an opportunity to show off their gardening skills, delightful creativity, and many hidden talents.

byLouiseDuncan

Our annual Fall Fair always includes numerous special events and activities which focus on children. Our Fall Fair gives children a positive recognition by offering them an opportunity to participate through the many Fall Fair Guide entry choices, so pick up a guide at one of the businesses around the Bowser/Qualicum area and get your entries ready!

The Bow Horne Bay Community Club and its many volunteers band together on Fall Fair Day to offer an atmosphere of fun, entertainment, and a chance to win a fabulous prize or obtain a

wonderful silent auction item donated by our supportive local businesses. The Raffle Prizes offered this year and our Silent Auction items are once again outstanding! The silent auction items are payable by cash or cheque and there will be an ATM on site. The main stage, artist hall and inside stage all have talented local musicians as well as wonderful exhibits.

All money raised at our Fall Fair activities go straight back into our community. ~

SEE YOU AT THE FAIR! August 30 •10am to 4pm.

44TH ANNUAL

LIGHTHOUSE COUNTRY FALL FAIR

IntheCommunity...


Road-tripping in Lighthouse Country? Pop into any of these recommended eateries

when the ‘munchies’ hit!

Qualicum Bay: The Cone Zone for bbq hot dogs, smokies and Italian sausage, plus cheesy nachos, colourful candy floss, soft drinks and coffee. Oh ... and of course there’s ice cream - lots of it! Pick your favourite in a cone, in a sundae or even a milkshake. The view of Qualicum Bay is spectacular here, too!

Henry’s Kitchen for Chinese and Western-style food, and even late-into-the-afternoon Eggs Benny. Yup! Sometimes I just feel like Eggs Benny in the afternoon! If you’re in an all-you-can-eat kind of mood, try Henry’s lengthy Chinese buffet on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, 5-8pm. Szechuan Beef! Oh ya!

Bugaboo Burgers offers up big, juicy burgers and sweet potato fries from its cute roadside stand. The popular spot is the perfect place to nosh on your way to and fro anywhere in Lighthouse Country. Eat while you’re there, or order it to go and skip on down to the nearby beach for a picnic.

Across the road from Bugaboo Burgers is Tidal Taco. You guessed it, the specialty here is Tacos! Perched on the edge of Qualicum Bay overlooking the Salish Sea, Ashley’s Tidal Taco stand is the newest addition to the substantial list of Lighthouse Country eateries, and a culinary hit with locals. It’s a plain and fancy kind of place ... the setting is just plain gorgeous, and the tacos are fancy and fun! You’ll find a Chili Coconut Prawn Taco and three other succulent choices on the menu for $4.50 each. Open 12-7pm, Thursday to Monday. A casual taco picnic by the Salish Sea ... I think so!

The Sandbar Cafe & Art Gallery with its ocean view patio is also a local favourite. The Sandbar starts its day early, so slip in for the Early Bird Special from 7am to 9am, or try lunch or dinner. You’re sure to find something on the extensive menu to satisfy a craving for a burger, fish & chips, veggie quesadilla, or sushi (on special days). If you’re in the neighbourhood on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings, check out the live music starting at 5:30pm. During the warm summer months, the music is enjoyed on the patio!

Still in Qualicum Bay, you’ll find the quaint Tudor-style Crown & Anchor Roadhouse Pub. It’s the perfect stop for a thirst-quenching adult beverage, a game of pool and on certain days, Bluegrass, Country and Karaoke music. Take

a chance at Bingo or buy a ticket for the weekly Qualicum Bay Lions Meat Draw - you might be lucky and take home a big, juicy steak. The Crown’s menu features tummy satisfying standards like steaks, fish & chips, burgers, soups and salads, plus daily specials that often showcase the best of our Island food products. All that and ‘off sales’ too at their on-site beer, wine and spirits outlet open 11am to 11pm. The Crown is an eclectic old gal – and she’s served many a weary traveller throughout the decades.

Heading north, you’ll find Nickolini’s Pizza between Qualicum Bay and Bowser. If you choose to spend the weekend in Lighthouse Country, cozy up in one of our numerous resorts, motels or vacation rentals and order one of Nikki’s delicious pizzas. You can arrange to pick it up, or they’ll deliver right to your door in the area.

In Bowser it’s The Bean Counter Cafe for regular and specialty coffees and teas. Try one of their delicious Paninis or creative lunch specials. And the baked goods? Well, they’re ‘to die for’! It’s definitely the place to grab a java! When it’s hot, try an iced Mocha ... one of my favourites!

Tomm’s Food Village is right nearby if you need to ‘grab & go’ a muffin or doughnut, fresh-baked mini pizza, chicken & fries, or maybe a baguette, cold cuts, pate and some nippy cheese for a beach picnic. Tomm’s is well-stocked with tantalizing ideas!

If you’re looking for something quick and easy, zip into the Georgia Park Store for ready-to-go sandwiches, cookies, muffins, coffee and cold drinks, and maybe a six-pack of your favourite ‘adult’ brew (it’s our local government liquor store).

Wander out to Deep Bay just north of Bowser where you’ll find the Ship and Shore Cafe and Campground and some of the best fish & chips around ... not to mention daily specials, hot dogs, soups, sandwiches, sweets and great coffee! The waterside patio with its expansive view of the yacht club, Deep Bay and coastal mountains makes for a beautiful and relaxing stop in the area.

Take your time! Wander with abandon! Discover Lighthouse Country! ~

by Joanne Sales

“Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Albert Einstein.

Creative acts are highly evolved acts of consciousness. You may say of yourself, “I’m not

creative”, because you were never trained in an art form. But we play among invisible possibilities all the time.

Creativity takes “things” that are very subtle, not formed yet, and gives them a framework to become visible, to manifest, to be heard or have life. That’s what we do! Whether we know it or not. We are all creative.

Creativity is at work while we are weaving, writing, painting, playing a game or piano, making a garden or meal, hiking in the forest, or talking to a friend.

Our society tends to reward left brain activities and intelligence (language, numbers, analysis, memory, facts) over right brain expressions. We are told to memorize facts, organize numbers, demonstrate skills and get that job. We do need those things. But it is a great loss for our society when creativity is sidelined as unimportant, dispensable, and even a waste of time. What about exploring the universe with the other hemisphere of our brains? Maybe that is where the solutions and insights we need come from. We ignore our creative potential at our own peril.

In my 20s, the art form that was my passion was dance. After getting a university degree in dance, I taught for a

number of years in the school where US President Obama sends his daughters. What I really loved was choreography. To start with nothing, and upon that stage of empty space, to play with form and movement, supported by sound, color and light. That creative act would lift me completely out of my ordinary thinking patterns. I would become totally engaged in shifting around very subtle “things” that had no words to describe them, and no form other than the form they would take within the dance itself.

We are not expected to create in a vacuum or alone or all at once. We gather seeds from others, and build on their creativity. We build bridges together.

I choreographed a dance in 1973 to one of Yoko Ono’s musical pieces. I invited her and John Lennon to see the dance when it was performed in New York City. They didn’t come, but sent me flowers and a poem. That was also a creative act on their part, and act of loving kindness. A few years after that, I stopped dancing and took on the creative work of raising children. But as always, the skills and experiences of our past creative immersions enrich our lives.

A conversation is a creative act. We enter into the company of some mysterious being we know very little about (this includes our spouse or child.) You say something and he says something. She adds a new perspective.

You pick up that idea and go to left field. We are creating a human interaction.

On the Duke Point Ferry, I saw an unusual number of smiling red headed girls running around on deck. I was curious. Finally, in the washroom, I talked to the mother. She had started the creative act 12 years ago giving birth to red headed triplets (plus another). “Who are all these beautiful red-heads?” I asked her next to the sinks. The smiles and conversation and laughter began, and every time we met again on the ferry, the creative act of human interaction continued.

The reason to immerse ourselves in such art forms as music, acting, art or dance is not to become famous. The real reason is to experience the creative process. We can do that for the first time at any age and in any situation. Actually, in the realm of creativity, every time is the first time.

In the creative process, we are “entering into” empty space as the creator or co-creator. We reconnect to our power to manifest and manipulate and shape form. We take a position of curious interactivity. When we are creating, we are willing to experiment, to try things out, to look at possibilities. “What if ” we change this aspect or deepen this colour or speed up this movement? We are dancing with form and formlessness, with substance as subtle as sound waves and light rays, or more measurable quantities of ink, seeds, spices or

YOU ARE CREATIVE ... AND WHY THAT MATTERS

vegetables. When we enter into the subtle realms of ideas and thoughts, we come up with letters, stories, messages and new plans.

Creating our own life is of course the highest art form. Our creative personal act of life invention will impact what kind of our society and world arises around us. Think of all the possibilities that your household, neighbourhood, island, country or planet could generate. What will manifest? The impact we have is not just the result of our outward contributions, but also because of the power of our thoughts and presence. If we don’t feel all that powerful and creative, it’s not because we aren’t. We’ve been blinded by previous life experiences and dumbed down by messages of powerlessness. But today is a new day. Want to elevate something? Take the most boring part or the worst section of your “dance”, and make it the most interesting, surprising, or engaging. To translate that into your “life creation”, take the worst relationship or stressful time of day, and make it special. How do you do that? I don’t know! This is your creative act. You are a creative genius – your creativity may be unpractised, but you’re a genius nonetheless. Fame has nothing to do with creativity. Your creative acts come from within you and manifest with every breath and movement.

Creativity requires curiosity and attentiveness. The greatest obstacle to creativity - or learning anything - is thinking we already know it. Thinking we already “know” makes us blind and boring. We only know a tiny fragment of anything - no matter how old or educated we are. The real masters known that. It is the amateurs in life that make the mistake of hubris and pride.

We can’t talk about creativity without nodding to the great Creative Force from which all creativity arises. In the Middle Ages, artists called on the Muses. The Hindus honour the flow of creativity, music, arts and knowledge through the form of the Goddess Saraswati. It’s important to recognize that while we are creative, we did not create Creativity.

Humility is the sign that we are getting closer to the Creative Genius that inspires life and brings eternal newness to this moment and the next. Without humility, we are fools. Unfortunately, many who are actually humble make the mistake of listening to those who are not! And so we humans are fooled again.

Humility is part of the creative act, because we realize that we are simply riding on the wave of the Creative Genius that created us, this cosmos, the wellspring of creativity and life itself. We can start with a bow and a nod and words. “Use me for something new. Something creative. Something helpful. I’m ready.” And then let it flow. ~

Residents of Area H:

I am back from vacation and we had a wonderful time. If you have a half hour to spare, ask me about the big

halibut I caught. Arlene, two friends and I also canoed the Sayward Forest Canoe Route. It was awesome, 50km, 8.5 km of portages, no bugs and 5 days.

While I received a great many emails while I was away, one was particularly troubling and I will address this as my end-July update.

Once again, the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) has issued seaweed harvesting licenses for the Deep Bay to Bowser shoreline, without consultation with the RDN nor the affected residents on the ground. See: http://www.newsroom.gov.bc.ca/2014/07/mazzaella-japonica-harvest-licences-issued-for-2014-season.html

Given, MoA’s failed track record on consultation I am not surprised that this happened, but I am exceptionally disappointed.

Here are the facts as I know them:

1. The RDN has no authority in Agricultural matters where farm practice is being followed. Particularly in this case, where activities are below

the high watermark. Thus, if we are to work on an issue, it is through dialogue. This is similar to other Provincial Ministries. I hasten to add that I have enjoyed very positive and collegial dialogue with other Ministries and through this I have been able to affect positive change for Area H. This has not been my experience with MoA. Given the RDN’s lack of authority, the MoA can do what it wants and, clearly it does.

2. Unlike other Provincial Ministries, MoA staff have indicated that they have a policy of not meeting with politicians, so I cannot deal with this face-to-face, this is bizarre.

3. Arising from RDN discussions and concerned residents delegations, RDN staff were directed to meet with MoA. Three meeting requests were sent and unsuccessful for a variety of reasons. Finally, MoA agreed to meet but has already issued licenses. This is the second time that MoA has deliberately issued licenses in advance of a meeting that was specifically requested before license issue. Finally, the meeting is scheduled for mid-September, about the time the harvest starts. The message that MoA has sent is that they will do whatever they want and are happy to

ignore the needs of local government and the residents on the ground.

4. It is the responsibility of the Provincial Government to look after and respect the concerns of local

residents, in this case, MoA has failed to do so.

5. All we have ever asked for is Public Consultation and respect for the science and social issues. This hasn’t happened. The press release suggests that the licenses this year reflect the “feedback” from local residents and First Nations, I can find little substantive change from last year, except that they have increased from 2 licenses to 3, (contrary to their detailed information guidance).

6. In a recent letter to MLA Fraser and myself, Minister Letnick stated that, “We will get back to you shortly about your recommendation for a public information session in the community.” This never happened.

7. The RDN has done a great deal to try to get this into positive dialogue, but has been road blocked by an uncooperative MoA.

I do not know why the MoA holds itself above the democratic process. Perhaps it is cultural built on the “Right to Farm Act” but I suspect that they simply don’t have the courage of their convictions. If they are convinced the seaweed harvest is a good idea, they should have the guts to come here to try to convince us as well.

I have been in dialogue with MLA Fraser who shares my concerns on this matter. He and I will work together to draft an emergency resolution to UBCM in hopes of creating an environment where all BC communities can expect full and wholesome consultation when there are issues that affect the residents on the ground. Of course, you would think that this is a statement of the obvious in a democracy. ~

Some of us are lucky enough to fall into careers that we love, where just coming to work is a joyful part

of the day. Fewer have been purposeful, have seized the brass ring and gotten into those careers through hard work, perseverance and, yes, even a little bit of luck. The path to my dream career was decided by an entirely different kind of luck. A social worker who specialized in helping children and adults with special needs, I had stability and my degrees in English and Psychology ensured the future of that stability. In fact, as a candidate for a Master’s Degree, all I needed was a bit of time and some creative budgeting, and the world – a world I had traveled extensively, would be my oyster.

My first visit to Dubai solidified my desire to work there; it was a dream job with all the bells and whistles that I wanted. Tax free USD, housekeeper, driver, return flights home during holiday season, child care … what else could I ask for? But all of this stability was shattered when, at the age of 29, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was struck with the realization that my life would never be the same.

I became attuned to a world with following parameters :

• Canadians have one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world.

• MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada.

• Every day, three more people in Canada are diagnosed with MS.

• Women are more than three times as likely to develop MS as men.

• MS can cause loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis.

• MS was first identified and described by a French neurologist, Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot, in 1868.

• We don’t know what causes MS but researchers are closer to finding the answer.

Armed with as much information as I could find, I had two choices: to get on with life or to allow the sadness to consume me. I chose to get on with life. Knowing that my best way forward was to take hold of that life and ensure that its direction was one of my own choosing, that MS was not going to

control my future, I seized on a passion for travel that I had nursed since childhood. I became an entrepreneur in an industry where I have been able to carve out a significant niche, based on a personal philosophy that travel should be inclusive and not exclusive.

Seventeen years later, I am well-traveled and an expert at tailoring vacations for people with all types of disabilities, finding joy in showing people the travel opportunities that await in our beautiful world and creating dream vacations for those who thought dream vacations were for other people. I believe in kismet, and perhaps my destiny did not lie in teaching in Dubai but in arranging travel to Dubai for someone with MS. Life has its own design and you just have to roll with it … ~

If you’re vegetarian, you haven’t been forgotten! The house-made Veggie Burger, Vegetarian Pizza and Potato Skins with Mango Avocado salsa are all great choices.

Word of caution! The meals are ‘mega’ here. Arrive with a big appetite or order sparingly. Either way, Smoke ‘n Water offers great value for the money.

Recommended: Seafood lover? Looking for a light snack in the late afternoon? May I suggest a table on the patio, the Salt Spring Island Mussels in Marinara Sauce and a Garlic Cheddar Biscuit ... or two ... for dipping! Oh ... and a glass of frosty white wine. That sounds like a perfectly wonderful afternoon nosh to me.

And on any warm summer evening, reserve a romantic patio table for two, enjoy dinner with a glass of fine wine, and watch an amber sunset reflect its beauty across Nanoose Bay. A magical memory is guaranteed!
