happy trails to Burnett Falls sechelt’s newest park “a real gem.”

Happy Valentine’s

Day

Sechelt dedicated its newest trail and viewpoint last week

as Mayor John Henderson, East Porpoise Bay Ratepayers Associ-ation (EPBRA) President Peter Wooding, and Olive the apricot poodle officiated at the Burnett Falls Park ribbon-cutting. “This will open up a real gem on the Sunshine Coast,” Henderson said as he clipped the ribbon.

Located on a three-acre par-cel at the eastern end of Burnett Road, the park features a pedes-trian-only gravel trail, a lookout with views of “a perfect West Coast forest setting,” and a sec-ond viewpoint overlooking the falls just an eight-minute walk from the trailhead. The 50-foot falls sported a thick mantle of ice. “They look great – frozen or not,” said Wooding. “It’s glori-ous to have them.”

Burnett Falls Park is now part of Coast’s inventory of over 325 trails covering approximately 570km. The inventory is in-cluded in the 100-page draft Sunshine Coast Trails Strategy compiled by E. Lees and Associ-ates Consulting Ltd., to be pre-sented Saturday, February 15 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Sea-side Centre, Sechelt. For more information: www.sctrails.ca

Sunshine Coast Tourism (SCT) President Celia Robbin notes that the trail networks draw thousands of hikers, cy-clists, campers and photogra-phers to the Coast year-round for a unique and accessible wilderness experience. Tapping into the adventure tourism mar-ket, SCT’s social media cam-paign, #52weeksoftrails, invites participants to ‘Blaze a Trail for 2014.’ The initiative launched January 1. Each week, e-blasts on social media announce the week’s trail to be discovered, and hikers share photos of their Coastal experience via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Improving Town’s assets a budgetary ‘must have’

Given the extreme weather much of Eastern Canada has faced this win-ter, I almost hesitate to de-scribe the snap of frost in the early morning air over the past couple of weeks as ‘cold weather.’ However, it has been cold enough to call for more safeguards against frozen pipes and other preventative mea-sures, and to provide a timely reminder of the im-portance of preventative maintenance and regular attention to needed repairs – both on the home front, and in municipal terms.

As I have mentioned in previous columns, like you the Town of Gibsons is working hard to keep things in good repair, and to make required improve-ments to ensure our in-frastructure meets current and future needs, while

Talk of The Town

Wayne Rowe Mayor, Town of Gibsons

working within our re-sources to improve the Town’s assets on an in-cremental basis. In fact, it is important that we set an expectation for future Councils that this work should be a fundamen-tal budget item – a ‘must have,’ before contemplat-ing the ‘nice to haves.’

It is rather like family de-cision-making: while you may long for that new flat screen TV, you might also be aware that your roof is showing its age. While you might prefer to spend on the luxury entertain-ment item, if you don’t at-tend to needed repairs and maintenance, your roof will find a way of making its needs all too apparent. And, just as you can’t plan your budget based on the hope of an inheritance or a lottery win, our munici-pality needs to deal within its available resources, and manage our budget closely.

The good news is that the ability for our town to achieve financial sustain-ability for all of our assets

is very real, and that is our goal. We need to build not only a viable financial model for the long term, but also a plan to maintain our assets in a way that, although it may cost a bit more up front, is the least expensive over time. Our budgeting is made some-what more complex by the necessary distribution of tax revenues; if you take a close look at your tax bill, you will notice that por-tions are attributed to the SCRD, as well as to hospi-tal, education, and polic-ing costs, as well as to the Town of Gibsons.

Throughout February, we will be working on the municipal budget, and if you attend our meet-ings, you will see this as the main agenda item, as we scope out the budget challenges and seek solu-tions. We will have a better sense of our budget by mid March, and we will make this information available on our website, and at Council meetings, as soon as we are able.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia has up-held Consumer Protection BC’s Compliance Orders against Cash Store Financial Inc. requiring the company to refund illegal fees charged for cash cards issued to consumers who took out payday loans between No-vember 1, 2009 and March 23, 2012 from The Cash Store and Instaloans, both operated by Cash Store Fi-nancial Inc. An estimated 68,000 consumers may be eligible; refunds may even-

tually total $1 million. The refund process was to begin in late 2012 but Cash Store Financial Inc. applied for a judicial review of Consumer Protection BC’s orders.

Pending the judicial re-view process, the Court had ordered Cash Store to secure the refund amount of more than $1 million in the event the orders were upheld. Consumer Protection BC is now expecting Cash Store to begin the refund process as outlined in the supplemental order, effective immediately.

“This ruling from the Su-preme Court of BC is very significant for both con-sumers and the payday lend-ing industry,” said Manjit Bains, vice president cor-porate relations, Consumer Protection BC. “Consumer Protection BC will work to ensure that all consumers, who are eligible for refunds receive complete and accu-rate refunds quickly.”

Supreme Court confirms Cash Store must refund $1 million to consumers

Guest Editorial

Free as the airHere in Canada, we really live a blessed existence. We

take so much for granted, viewing as our ‘right’ certain as-sets that we are actually privileged to enjoy.

Most of the world does not have access to clean water, let alone having it pour from household taps virtually without restriction. Throughout Canada, every home has potable water pumped to its own dispensing units in such abun-dance, we can use it to flush our toilets. (In some places it might be less tasty than the artesian product of Gibsons’ well, but it is still drinkable.)

Economists with the World Health Organization have noted that providing a reliable source of water can be the single most effective action to help villages in developing nations rise out of the poverty cycle. Our own prosperity as a nation is rooted in our natural resources, particularly water. Our continuing survival depends on keeping this re-source clean and flowing.

We take our clean air for granted – unlike residents of Bei-jing or Bangkok, we can step outside without requiring face masks to filter out toxic smog. In developing nations such as China, coal (once a staple of North American industry, now replaced by cleaner and cheaper hydro or natural gas) is used to fuel industry. As development increases, so does the appetite for fuel and so the demand for cheap ‘thermal’ coal is booming. The process of getting the product out of the ground and to market is fraught with environmental and health risks; it’s a dirty fuel that contaminates air and water throughout its passage.

Dust from U.S. thermal coal barged from Port of Metro Vancouver past the Sunshine Coast to Texada Island now threatens our own air and water. Anyone who cares about the quality of our air and water should register their concern with their MP, MLA and with the federal and provincial Ministers of Environment.

Not all airborne toxins can be seen or smelled, and the most dangerous are produced by the massive so-called ‘Waste-to-Energy’ incinerators being proposed for First Na-tions land near Port Mellon, as well as for Nanaimo area. Like the incinerator in Burnaby that now gobbles up barge-loads of household and industrial waste, the proposed plant will spew toxins into the air which will follow the airstream down Howe Sound to Gibsons and through the valleys to Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay. Zero Waste advocates are lob-bying against incinerators, and urge concerned residents to join their online protest at zerowastecanada.ca

We are privileged to enjoy clean air and clean water, and safeguarding them for future generations to enjoy, as we have, is our duty as responsible citizens. Heather Jeal, Editor

Our society based on mutual respect

Word of mouth travels fairly quickly and, now, sad and discouraging news about The George proposal has reached out to Hopkins Landing. This letter is not about The George, per se; that is for the Town of Gib-sons elected officials, staff, and Town taxpayers to con-sider. The rest of us non-residents can only observe the process with interest, but from a distance; should it not succeed, we will not be subject to the necessary increase in Town taxes. But, should The George pro-ceed, all of us on the south Coast will benefit to vary-ing degrees.

The discouraging news is that a small clique of Coast residents, not all of whom live in the Town of Gibsons, are now submitting their disagreement in a socially unacceptable manner; they are conducting an abrasive and intimidating campaign comprising inaccurate,

misrepresentative and mis-leading information, all disguised as supposed facts. Multiple social media sites and an email list are being used to transmit this disin-formation. And, now, there are letter-size posters being delivered to businesses in The Landing to threaten a boycott of their businesses unless they remove their ‘I Support The George’ signs. This disrespectful and anti-social behaviour is a repeat of previous years’ anony-mous postings on tele-phone poles impugning the honour of three members of Council.

This is NOT the soci-ety that many of us have worked hard to propagate and improve. Our society is based upon mutual respect for all citizens; and, certain-ly for those jurisdictional boundaries that apply.

Freedom of speech is of-ten quoted as the justifica-tion for many variations of behaviour today;but, this Freedom is accompanied by society’s expectation of Responsibility.

It is not simply a matter of having an opinion; ev-eryone is entitled to one. But, each of us must com-municate and manifest that opinion with decency, ac-curacy, and manners.

Intimidation and bully-ing does not belong within our society; shame on those who have perpetrated such behaviour.The Honourable John D. Reynolds, P.C.Hopkins Landing

Voters need to knowDid you know? In the

past week, John Weston MP has voted AGAINST the strengthening Canada’s

retirement income system. He voted AGAINST main-taining reasonable access to services by our Veterans. He voted AGAINST reigning in ATM fees. I wonder if he is representing the thoughts and interests of his constitu-ents on these matters? Be-fore the next election, do we not need to know his FULL record and not just the parts he chooses to mention?Paul Johnston, Roberts Creek

Harper a ‘dangerous’ PMIn his speech to the

Knesset, Harper said, with respect to his fawning sup-port of Israel, “Indeed, Isra-el is the only country in the Middle East which has long anchored itself in the ideals of freedom, democracy (see Mordechai Vanunu) and the rule of law.” I guess Is-rael’s ongoing violations of U.N. resolutions, decades of war crimes and other human rights abuses, and Netanyahu’s never-ending threats to attack Iran – which has zero nuclear weapons compared to the over 200 in Israel’s posses-sion – are a few feet away from the anchor. It’s a sad irony that Iran would be one of the oldest democ-racies in the Middle East if the CIA and the British MI6 had not engineered the overthrow of Mosad-degh’s government in 1953 (that pesky problem of our oil being under their sand).

Harper also said, with respect to his enthusiastic support, “This is a very Ca-nadian trait, to do some-thing for no reason other than it is right, even when no immediate reward for, or threat to, ourselves is ev-ident.” What bloody non-

sense! Falling in line with the position of the U.S. government on Israel al-ways has rewards - in a few minutes if not immediately. And you don’t need a Ph.D. in political science to antic-ipate what might happen to a country that too vocifer-ously criticizes U.S. foreign policy, especially in the Middle East. But perhaps Harper illustrated most dramatically the disconnect between his speech and re-ality when he said, “Most disgracefully of all, some openly call Israel an apart-heid state. Think about that. Think about the twist-ed logic and outright malice behind that.” Comparing this bizarre statement to, for example, this episode of democracynow (http://www.democracynow.org/shows/2014/1/13), reveals that Harper is not just an unlikeable prime minister; he is also a dangerous one.George Kosinkski, Gibsons

With lenders advertising that ‘now’ is the time for refi-nancing a mortgage to reduce monthly payments or free up equity for home improve-ments or other necessities, homeowners may want to consider a number of facts before making their decisions.

Lower interest rates often motivate homeowners to refinance, as a lower interest rate can save homeowners a substantial amount of mon-ey over the course of their loans. However, refinancing too soon (within four years of the original home loan) may put homeowners in a negative light. Lenders may see borrowers who refinance too soon or too frequently as risky borrowers who can-not successfully manage their money. Also, some mortgag-es have prepayment penalties built in. Should a person pay off the mortgage too early, usually within two to five years, 2 to 4 percent of the home’s loan value must be paid out. Refinancing counts as paying off one loan and opening up another. Pen-alties could deter a person from refinancing too soon.

Refinancing a home is an expensive undertaking. While it can effectively shave $100 or more off monthly payments, there is a financial outlay during the process, which includes closing costs. Expect to pay anywhere from 2 to 5 per-cent of the loan’s value in closing costs when refinanc-ing. If the finances are sim-ply not there to cover the closing costs, refinancing may not be an option.

If your credit rating is bet-ter now than it was when you initially earned your home loan, then this might be a good time to refinance. Not only will a person ben-efit from a low market rate, the interest rate may be even lower because lenders look more fondly on you now than they did years ago. Lenders often base their as-sessments of borrower reli-ability and stability on those potential borrowers’ credit scores, so a strong credit score makes you look better in the eyes of lenders. Bor-rowers with poor credit rat-ings may not benefit from refinancing.

A person’s debt-to-income ratio is another factor in de-termining mortgage interest rates and approval. A posi-tive change in income status as well as reduction in debt could make it a good time to refinance.

Many people opted for adjustable rate mortgages when buying homes years ago. Refinancing for a fixed-rate mortgage, regardless of the current interest rate, could ease some of the fi-nancial burden.

A higher home value means more equity in the home. This money can be used to pay down debt or for home improvements that further improve the value of the home and property. It is important to speak with a real estate professional to determine if home values have spiked in a particular neighborhood and to gain an accurate appraisal of the home. This will help deter-mine if refinancing is frugal.

By being aware of market trends and other financial factors, refinancing a home loan can make good sense.Metro

Salute the Sochi games with Coulibiac

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Bring water and rice

to a boil. Stir, cover and reduce heat to simmer.

As the world’s top athletes compete at Sochi, it’s a good opportunity to sample a classic of Russian cuisine. Salmon cou-libiac is Russia’s answer to Cor-nish pasties. This rustic salmon pie has a number of variations; this one uses frozen puff pastry for the crust, which speeds the process and adds a nice lightness to the final product.

Ingredients:500g salmon fillet 375g pack frozen puff pastry ½ cup long grain rice1 cup water

½ lb. (250g) sliced mushrooms 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped4 large green onions, sliced3 tbsp. unsalted butter zest of half a lemon

2 tbsp. lemon juice 2 tbsp. parsley, chopped 2 tbsp. fresh dill, chopped (or 2 tsp. dried)1 medium egg, beaten salt and pepper to taste

After three minutes, remove pan from heat and allow to sit, covered, for five to 10 minutes. Rice should have cooked in residual heat and absorbed all liquid. Fluff with fork. Melt 1 tbsp. (15g) of butter and mix in the cooked rice along with the lemon zest and juice.

Melt 1 tbsp. (15g) of butter in skillet and sauté the onions until lightly golden; add to rice. In same saucepan, melt 1 tbsp. (15g) butter and sauté mushrooms until lightly golden; cool. Stir in the pars-ley and dill and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Roll half the pastry out to a 1/8” (2-3mm) thick-ness and cut a large 7 inch x 9 inch (18cm x 25cm) rectangle. Line baking sheet with parchment pa-per and brush with olive oil. Place pastry on sheet and brush around the edg-es with a little of the beaten egg. Spread half the rice mixture on the base, then

add a layer of chopped hard boiled egg and a layer of mushrooms. Place the salmon fillet on top and then layer the remaining mushrooms, hard boiled eggs and finally the rice mixture on top. From the remaining pastry cut out a large rectangle big enough to cover the top and sides of the salmon and fill-ing. Place this over the top and press down the edges of the pastry, crimping them to form a sealed pastry par-cel. Cut two steam vents in the top, equidistant from the ends. Decorate the top with ‘leaves’ cut from pas-try scraps and brush with beaten egg. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the ingredients are cooked through and the pastry golden and crispy.

To serve, cut into slices about 1-1/2 inches (4 cm) thick. A dollop of sour cream mixed with dill and parsley makes a nice sauce.

If you have ever been a parent looking for childcare, you know how challenging it can be to find those cov-eted spots in a quality early childhood setting. As an employer, you may have felt frustrated by the challenges of hiring qualified staff for your excellent childcare cen-tre. Or, as an enterprising person seeking meaningful work, you may want to open your own daycare as an op-tion for employment. You need the proper certifica-tion to do so but don’t want to leave the Coast. And you may want to begin an Early Childhood Care and Educa-tion program as a pathway to a degree. One that could possibly lead to a career as a teacher in the BC school system. In response to some of these challenges for the community, its families and youth, the regional campus will be offering a flexible full-time ECCE program with a part-time option beginning in September 2014.

This program provides students with the potential to be leaders and showcase new ways of thinking about and engaging in early child-hood education. As one Capilano University ECCE

On Campus Jules Smith & Caroline DepatieCapilanoUniversity News

Early Childhood Care training starts Sept.student commented, “It’s changed my image of chil-dren, families and commu-nities, and it’s changed me as a person.”

For more information about the program, we will be hosting an information

session on Wednesday, February 19 from 5-7 p.m. on campus. You can also check our website at capil-anou.ca/sunshine for more details. Call 604-885-9310 or email [email protected] to RSVP.

With the current propos-al to bring a liquid natural gas (LGN) facility to Howe Sound, The Green Film Series continues to bring timely films to the Sunshine Coast with the screening of Gasland II on Monday, February 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Gibsons Heritage Playhouse. This film takes a broader look at the dangers of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the controversial method of extracting natu-ral gas and oil, now occur-ring on a global level. Ad-mission is by donation to this community event.

In this explosive follow-up to his Oscar®-nominated

film Gasland, filmmaker Josh Fox uses his trademark dark humor to show how the stakes have been raised on all sides in one of the most important environ-mental issues today. The film argues that the gas in-dustry’s portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alter-native to oil is a myth and that fracked wells inevitably leak over time, contaminat-ing water and air, hurting families, and endanger-ing the earth’s climate with the potent greenhouse gas, methane. In addition the film looks at how the pow-erful oil and gas industries are in Fox’s words “contami-

nating our democracy.” A discussion and update

on the proposed Woodfibre LNG facility by the Sun-shine Coast Conservation Association (SCCA) and The Future of Howe Sound Society will follow the film. This event is produced by Rhizome Up! Media CCC Ltd. in community partner-ship with the SCCA. The Green Film Series is dedicat-ed to using film as a catalyst for dialogue, networking, action and community en-gagement on environmen-tal and sustainability issues.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)In your climb to new

peaks you may have entered some fog. Now it is time to reconnect with your dreams, intuitions and inspirations. Discern between the dream and the reality to identify and clear any illusions, delu-sions and confusions.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Some reality checks linked to your professional stand-ing, status and reputation are rolling in. This is a good time for some stimulation perhaps in the form of cul-ture. Enjoy cultural activities that positively influence you professionally.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Career questions and de-ciphering your direction may have you feeling over-whelmed by the possibilities and choices available. The answer is linked to the choice that provides expansion and increased opportunity, espe-cially regarding relationships.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)A process of soul search-

ing has begun. Your career and/or social status in gen-

eral are under review. New affiliations, associations and relationship strategies both at home and work are good approaches to get answers and achieve resolution.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)What do others want and

need from you? Balance is ever the ideal. The time has come to strike a better deal, to decipher that fine line between who you are and what others need and want from you.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Reflecting how best to ex-

press yourself in your more important relationships is pushing you back to the drawing board. Adaptation and adjustment are features of the game. Look within at least as much as without for guidance and approval.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)A good deal of analyz-

ing matters hopefully has

not led to analysis paralysis; too much thinking and not enough action. Taking an experiential and experimen-tal approach will evoke the right spirit. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Independent, creative thinking is the style of genius and you have plenty of its fire in your belly. Get in and access it in order to get it out. Solitude or intimate gather-ings may be the best formula for the magic to work.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Your lights are on now, as a steady stream of new per-spectives, and realizations floods your mind. Get on the train. A new adventure is beginning and it will lead you to boldly go where you have not gone before.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Sometimes circumstances ask us to put our head down and plough. Family mat-

ters woven with professional ambitions are featured. The balance you seek probably requires input from others. These include professional training and/or healing tech-niques rendered to you.Aquarius (Jan 19 - Feb 19)

A sudden turn of events is inspiring your ambition, drive and focus. You are see-ing a bigger picture. While some of your dreams, hopes and wishes are coming true, you also need to persevere with all four hooves connect-ing firmly with the turf.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)All the great achievements

in life are the results of great dreams and dreamers. The other end of the deal includes planning, strategy, execution and follow-through. A few changes in approach and at-titude may be required. For best results, ask and reach out for assistance.

Social media, innova-tion and business speed dating are all on the agenda for the Gibsons Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting on March 28. The event, to be held at the Gibsons Public Market, is open to anyone interested. Tick-ets are $15 or $10 for Chamber members.

Headlining the event will be Gary Bizzo, busi-ness coach, internet in-novator, and social media expert. He is a sought af-ter speaker, business writ-er for local and national magazines, and author of

How to Start a Successful Business – The First Time!

“I wrote the book for young people who want to be their own boss, but I discovered that it’s equally applicable to Baby Boomers,” said Bizzo. “Jobs that are sat-isfying to mature and ex-perienced persons are few and far between, so we find ourselves looking for a business opportunity instead.”

Bizzo’s keynote address will be on “Finding the Entrepreneur Within.”

The evening starts at 5 p.m. with a reception and

business speed dating, followed by the keynote address at 6 p.m., and the business meeting.

The Gibsons Cham-ber is particularly proud to be holding the event in the newly opened Gibsons Public Market building. “The Gibsons Public Market is a great example of the whole community pitching in to make an innovative project happen,” said Dean Walford, Chamber President. “We’re very happy to have this beau-tiful meeting space avail-able again.”

Chamber AGM focuses on innovation

Gibsons Chamber offers three new workshops for small businessFebruary 17, 2014

marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for Chambers of Com-merce across the prov-ince to demonstrate the outstanding value they provide to their commu-nities.

This value comes in the form of benefits and ser-vices to stimulate local economies, direct com-munity promotion and support, and engaging in an important multi-level advocacy role which ben-efits the entire province.

Advocacy is some of the Chambers’ most im-portant work. Cham-bers raise issues that con-cern both their members

and the community at large with local, provin-cial and federal govern-ments. The network of over 125 Chambers of Commerce across BC is a unique business orga-nization, and gives issues a voice beyond the local level. This provides much needed input to public policy, which benefits lo-cal economic and social well-being.

Direct support for busi-nesses and the community constitute another central area of Chamber focus. Chambers of Commerce provide benefits, service and educational programs to their membership, sup-porting businesses and helping them achieve suc-

cess. Chambers of Com-merce also work diligent-ly to promote and assist their communities. This support for both local businesses and the areas in which they operate direct-ly stimulates local econo-mies and creates vibrant communities around the province.

Chambers of Commerce are community leaders in action. Chamber of Commerce Week recog-nizes and applauds this important contribution, and brings further aware-ness about the Chamber Network’s influence and importance to members of the public and Chamber members alike.Submitted

Following on the success of their Facebook Advertis-ing workshops in the fall, the Gibsons & District Chamber of Commerce is leading off a spring series of workshops with ‘LinkedIn 101 for Business’ on Febru-ary 19 and 22.

“With over 250 million registered users in over 200 countries, LinkedIn is a ‘must tool’ for anyone who is serious about show-casing their business or networking with industry colleagues,” said workshop instructor Al Hyland. Hy-land is a media strategist, and an expert on online and mobile marketing, and web analytics.

The workshop will help people with little or no ex-

perience with LinkedIn to open an account and build a profile that will grow their personal and business brand.

On March 12 and 15, the Chamber is holding ‘Electronic Invoicing and Payment Options for Small

Business’ with Sarah Duro, Sunshine Coast Credit Union Branch Manager. SCCU will be rolling out e-money transfers for busi-ness members in April.

In April the workshop topic will be ‘Understand-ing Hackers and Internet Security’ with Banjo Ben-jamin, internet security consultant.

Gibsons Chamber workshops are open to all interested business people. Workshops are 90 min-utes, and the cost is $10 for non-members. Pre-reg-istration with payment is required. Chamber mem-bers will receive a refund at the workshop.
