Community pharmacist Elizabeth Innes will give a talk on healing arts from an-cient India – Shaka Vansya Ayurved – on Friday Oct. 9, 7:30pm at Blissful Yoga Stu-dio, 5654 Dolphin St., Sech-elt. It is free of charge.

Come and meet Elizabeth and learn about Ayurved, an ancient system to maintain good health and prevent disease. It includes life style, diet, herbs, energy mas-sage and other methods for maintaining our mind/body in the best possible function-ing order. With years of ex-perience in both the natural healing of India and modern medicine Elizabeth brings a unique perspective to both areas.

The healing arts of Ayurved have survived many invasions of India. One of the ways it was preserved was in the kitchens. Many of the culinary herbs in Indian cooking are medicinal. We are now seeing a great deal of scientific research of the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric and it anti-car-cinogenic properties. Holy basil recently hit the news because of its ability to pre-vent swine flu. Cumin helps the absorption of nutrients. Coriander is a great kidney tonic. Cinnamon helps to balance blood sugar. The list goes on and on.

The foundation of Ayurved is enlivening the life force or prana in our bodies suitable for the person's dosha or body type of Vata Pitta or Kapha. The water we drink, food we eat, the cycles of the day and the season effect us whether we know it or not. Greater awareness of these influences helps us maintain good health.

Hopefully this brief intro-duction has sparked your interest to come and learn more about this vast body of knowledge. The evening will start with some San-skrit chanting to honour this 5,000-year-old lineage followed by discussion and time for questions. We will end with a great medicinal herbal tea that has many benefits to tone and cleanse the body.

This year’s 7th Annual Sunshine Coast Mushroom Festival is being held Oct. 16–18, with events up and down the Sunshine Coast. Hosted by the Society for Hunting, Recognition and Observation of Mushrooms (SHROOM), it promises to be another bio-logically diverse and fascinat-ing event for both locals and visitors.

From mushroom identifi-cation tables to information and demonstrations about using mushrooms in cooking, fabric and yarn dyeing, and the medical powers of the fungal world, the Shroomfest is a great way to get acquaint-ed with the mushrooms and fungi of the Pacific North-west. Knowledgeable expert foragers will be on hand to identify mushrooms brought in by festival visitors and to talk about the basics of mushrooming, making this event one of the safest ways to introduce yourself to the fascinating leisure activity and the world-class science behind it. There will also be cooking demos, vendors with unique mushroom products, kids activities and many fab-ulous door and raffle prizes.

The Mushroom Show runs from 10am to 3pm at the Community Hall in Madeira Park, with a cost of $3 per person (SHROOM members free).

This year’s guest is re-nowned forager and Chef Langdon Cook. For Cook, a walk in the woods isn’t any different from a walk through the produce sec-tion of a supermarket. He’s a writer and blogger, and the author of The Mushroom Hunters: On the Trail of Un-derground America and Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager. His books are rich with the science and lore of edible fungi – from the seductive chanterelles to ex-otic porcini. For more infor-mation about Langdon Cook, please visit him at langdon-cook.com.

For members of the Sun-shine Coast Mushroom So-

ciety, there will be a mem-bers only foray with Cook on Sunday Oct. 18 for $30 per person (plus your SHROOM membership) Pre-registra-tion is required at scshroom.org/events. If you can’t make it or aren’t ready to join for $20 per person or $25 a fam-ily, there are also two Lang-don Cook presentations. The first on Oct. 16 at Davis Bay Community Hall, 7pm. The second at The Botanical Gar-dens (West Sechelt), Oct. 17 at 6pm. These two presenta-tions are open to all, $10 tick-ets will be sold at the doors.

A hotly anticipated part of

The wide world of mushrooms

the Mushroom Festival is the mushroom themed delicacies offered by local restaurants. We are pleased to announce that this year we have 6 par-ticipating restaurants. In al-phabetical order the are: Bull Bistro and Bar (Gibsons), Chaster’s (Gibsons), Emelle’s Madeira Bistro (Madeira Park), The Gumboot Café (Roberts Creek), The Painted Boat (Madeira Park), Ruby Lake Restaurant (Madeira Park).

Conservative candidate John Weston says he has caught a culprit in the act of defacing one of his campaign signs amidst a rash of elec-tion sign vandalism on the Sunshine Coast.

Weston said he was driv-ing to the ferry and was turn-ing onto Stewart Road from North Road the week before last, when he saw a man drawing a moustache on Weston’s photo on a Conser-vative campaign sign.

Weston said he did a quick U-turn and pulled up behind the vandal, a man in his 30s.

“The guy turned around and said, ‘I am so sorry,’” Weston said. “I told him that what he had just done was a criminal offence.”

Weston said the man told him he was upset with politi-cians.

“‘I’m angry at Justin Trudeau, I’m angry at Ste-phen Harper and I’m angry at you,’” Weston recounted the man saying.

Weston said the man even-tually apologized again and asked how he could make amends.

“I told him he could start by cleaning up the sign.”

Weston said he did not re-port the incident to police.

The man later phoned Weston’s campaign office

and agreed to help Conser-vative volunteers clean up or replace a number of dam-aged campaign signs.

Weston’s campaign has been particularly target-ed by sign defacers, with nearly 20 large signs spray-painted, paint-balled, cut up or knocked over in recent weeks. Some smaller signs also have been stolen from people’s lawns, a campaign worker said.

Some Liberal Party signs featuring candidate Pam Goldsmith-Jones have also been defaced, but a spokes-woman said it had not been a major problem. The NDP said it had seen some sign dam-

Election sign vandal caught

age to its signs earlier in Sep-tember, but none since. The party also said it wouldn’t tolerate vandalism by party supporters.

“We have put out word on our social media that we do not approve of such actions under any circumstances,” said Bill Forst, campaign manager for New Democrat Larry Koopman.

The Green Party said there have been no reports of dam-age to candidate Ken Mel-man’s signs.

If convicted in court, any-one vandalizing election signs could face fines up to $5,000 or up to two years in jail. Rik Jespersen

Unlike in the BC provincial elections where voters can vote at any polling station, in the Federal Election voters must go to the polling loca-tion that has been assigned to them.

Millions of personalized Voter Information Cards (VIC) are being sent to regis-tered voters’ homes.

VIC’s contain that very im-portant personalized polling location information. VIC’s identify each voter’s poll number and location for Election Day – Oct. 19 and the one for Advanced Poll-ing Days (Thanksgiving Long weekend Oct. 9-12: open each of the 4 days from noon to 8 pm).

When voters receive their VIC, it’s a good idea to check their information. Voters who haven’t received their

VIC by Oct. 1 or whose card shows the wrong address can register or update their address online at elections.ca, or they can drop by a local Elections Canada office. The Sunshine Coast office is in the Trail Bay Mall in Sechelt (ph. 1-866-410-5230), and is open 9am-9pm weekdays, 9am-6pm Saturdays and noon-4pm on Sundays.

Where and how to voteVoters can vote today and

any time up until Oct. 13 by 6 pm local time at an Elections Canada office using a Special Ballot. Elections Canada of-fices are open 7 days a week and are there to help voters. Voters can call their local Elections Canada office as well or call the toll-free na-tional line 1-800-463-6868 with any questions Submitted

Editorial Opinion

Letters to the Editor – OpinionsA question

(re: “Rowe calls out oppo-nent’s ‘smear’”, the Local, Sept. 24)

Mayor Rowe says that for the past two and a half years, he has had to “endure” end-less inquiries and numerous Freedom of Information re-quests about the proposed George Hotel and Residences.

The word “endure” is tell-ing. Mayor Rowe would rath-er people do not ask ques-tions so things can proceed the way he wants.

This is the biggest devel-opment project in Gibsons in 30 years. Is it strange that people want information? Because the Mayor was not forthcoming, Gibsons taxpay-ers have been forced to spend over $3,000 in Freedom of In-formation requests to obtain basic information.

Since 2013, Mayor Rowe has refused to answer ques-tions about the George. The promise was that before the Public Hearing, there would be an Information Meeting at which all questions would be answered. We just had that meeting. It was a promo event put on by the developer. Mayor and Council did not at-tend – and thus did not have to answer questions.

Mayor Rowe also refuses to answer questions about a possible conflict of interest. He maintains there is no such conflict. I would like to judge for myself. So here is my ques-tion: Did Mayor Rowe do the conveyancing for properties which Klaus Fuerniss Enter-prises needed for the George?

Loraleigh Fitzgerald, Gibsons

Possible answerMayor Rowe is angry about

allegations of conflict of inter-est on his part. But instead of going on and on about his accusers, why does he not simply answer the ques-tion? Why does he not say “I was not involved in any legal transaction in connection with the George, before or after the application to build

the hotel?” It would lay all doubts, ru-

mours, allegations, insinua-tions and suspicions to rest and we could all move on.

Julie Skippon, Gibsons

Another questionI have to ask why you de-

vised the headline "Rowe calls out opponent's 'smear'" in the September 24 edition of the Local Weekly. Why not "Citizen charges Gibsons mayor with conflict"? Which would reflect the real news story here: the very serious matter of Rowe's possible conflict of interest.

J. E. Hammill, Gibsons

‘Our Saviour’I read with interest a re-

cent letter in the Local (Sept. 9, “Cancel all sailings?”) about the SCRD passing a motion to study a ‘fixed link’ to the coast. Within the letter a ref-erence is made to the fact that we have had a drastic decline in the 25 – 44 year olds in our workforce since 1990. This is young families departing our region…mostly forever. This is truly an alarming fact, now to be further significantly com-pounded with the upcoming mill layoffs. How might we correct this? I firmly believe that the answer is with our Golden Goose, The George developer…a company that wants to lay a $50 MILLION Golden Egg development and revitalization of an area that really is our ‘dead end’ of the waterfront.

Does a development of this nature come with vari-ous issues, some of which are about shape, form and size that will not be embraced by all? The obvious answer is YES. Change, especially of this kind, is often not welcomed by a vocal minority within many communities. This mi-nority I find seem to ‘pop up’ being naysayers to just about any development or signifi-cant change – they simply don’t want change, their com-fort levels are disturbed with

change. We live in a wonderful

democratic society where we have the right to elect people whom we wish to represent our interests and to guide us in many directions of which economic survival is a key el-ement. This was exampled in Gibsons’ last municipal elec-tions where the majority vot-ed for that economic survival by voting in all candidates who supported The George. These democratically elected officials have been given a mandate by the majority to deliver long term economic prosperity to keep our youth at home on The Coast…for generations to come.

Attracting investors to any region is normally a very competitive situation, I be-lieve that Gibsons is blessed to have a developer who has continued on a path when most others would simply say “This is too hard, I will go lay my Golden Egg elsewhere.” I honestly believe that the de-veloper’s desire is to leave a long lasting legacy to Gibsons and the coast. This is what saviours do!!

The naysayers need to look beyond the size, shape and form of The George – this Golden Egg is truly our Sav-iour.

Greg Giles, Roberts Creek

‘Blue shirts burned’I attended the George Ho-

tel open house on Thursday, Sept. 24 at Elphinstone High School. I went seeking infor-mation about the project from the Developer and what zon-ing bylaw amendments were being requested. While trying to absorb the information on the many large displays in the room I was approached by someone whom I thought was a blue T-shirted repre-sentative. It soon became obvious that this person was there to lobby me with their own anti-George agenda.

I have no problem with get-ting both sides of an issue and making up my mind based on

the facts. I found it inappro-priate and disrespectful how-ever for the anti-development paparazzi to interrupt my review and attempt to hijack my information-gathering, while thrusting their own literature into my hands. As I looked around the room I saw there were several more blue t-shirts attempting to engage other citizens. If this blue-uniformed gang (calling themselves the Gibsons Alli-ance for?) want to dissemi-nate their own propaganda about the project, I suggest they hold their own open house.

Ambush tactics tend to have the opposite effect on even the most open-minded people. The Blue Shirts might have had critically important information about the project but the method chosen to de-liver it was, in my opinion, ill-advised and repugnant. I left the open house much better informed about the project and repelled by the tactics of their opponents.

I returned home and burned all my blue T-shirts and the unwanted literature.

Learning by doingYoung people across Canada recently headed off to university

for the fall semester. Those of us a little older may feel a twinge of envy, as we remember our own time on leafy campuses in September. But in fact their experience is quite unlike ours. More than ever before, these students are learning by doing.

Today more than 50 percent of undergraduate university students across all fields of study will have a co-op, internship or service learning experience over the course of their studies. And that number is growing.

It’s pretty clear how this benefits students. They’re gaining workplace experience and building a network to help them land that crucial first job. They’re learning to transfer new knowledge and skills to the workplace and preparing to hit the ground run-ning after graduation. But what’s in it for the employer?

Simply put, students are good for the bottom line. And Canada can ill afford to forego what’s good for the bottom line.

Smart employers are drawing on the energy, knowledge and skills of university students to bring fresh thinking to business challenges. Talented students help open up new markets, find efficiencies on the production line and bring innovative thinking to business operations.

Employers get access to a wealth of new knowledge and skills, while both students and employers get to ‘test drive’ the match. But not nearly enough small- and medium-size businesses take on co-op and internship students. That’s the big disconnect in Canada’s economy. Too often, critics wring their hands at the challenges of an increasingly competitive and complex mar-ketplace, while not building bridges to the ready talent in our universities and colleges.

Students see the value. They’re savvy and want an edge in the job market. The number of university students participating in co-op programs has grown by 25 percent in recent years – there were approximately 53,000 students in university co-op programs in 2007 compared to more than 65,000 in 2013. Fifty-nine universities now offer students more than 1,000 co-op pro-grams. But even at that level, it doesn’t satisfy student demand, because not enough employers participate in co-op programs.

Canada needs the private sector to step up and do more to take advantage of the largely untapped potential of university students – from undergraduates to PhDs – to make businesses stronger and advance our competitive advantage.

Enterprises already seizing the opportunity are reaping the benefits. Four out of five employers who take on co-op and in-ternship students say these hires add value to their company as a source of new talent and as future employees with workplace skills. Two-thirds say these students contribute new ideas to the company and are effective in their work.

The value of co-ops and internships for employers is evident in the hiring process. Research shows that graduates coming out of university co-op programs are hired faster and enjoy a 30-40 percent income premium over graduates with no co-op experience.

Those students preparing to get back to class are ready to do their part, in bringing new knowledge, energy and skills to the workplace. The private sector, universities and government need to work together to ensure that those workplace doors are open.

Paul Davidson, President, Universities Canada

More than 125 people turned out on a rainy night Sept. 24 to attend a Town-sponsored information meeting about the proposed George Hotel and Residences project on the Gibsons wa-terfront. And there was more to the meeting than many ex-pected.

Town staff members were on hand to help explain the controversial project’s ap-proval process with the help of easel-mounted placards set in an arc across the gym floor at Elphinstone Sec-ondary School. Consultants for the developer, Klaus Fuerniss Enterprises, also provided their own placards with detailed drawings of the development and provided an architect’s scale model of the project.

Across the hall in the school’s canteen, the Gib-sons Waterfront Defence Association (GWDA) had set up its own information display. Just after the main open house began at 5 pm, about a dozen blue-shirted GWDA volunteers left their own area and entered the gym, ready to provide their anti-George views and data to anyone who would listen.

Manny Machado, the Town’s Chief Administrative Officer, said he was initially not pleased with the “tactics” of the hotel development’s opponents. But after a brief meeting, Machado relented and opted to honour the spirit of an “open house.”

“We encouraged them to engage with their neighbors and have a meaningful dis-cussion about what is be-ing proposed for the George Hotel project,” Machado said later. “That is, in fact, why the Town provided this added opportunity for residents to get familiar with the facts.”

The blue-shirts mingled and talked with the attend-ees throughout the evening, as did Town staff and the de-veloper’s consultants, with-out incident. More than 40 visitors filled out comment sheets provided by the Town.

Town staff also said they would put the placarded in-formation from the meeting on its website at www.gib-sons.ca/thegeorge.

Opponents have many ob-

George open house an inclusive eventjections to the development, including the non-conform-ing, multi-storey height of its two main buildings and their effect on the seaside village character of the har-bour, plus the potential of the project’s harm to the town’s aquifer.

Members of Town Council did not attend as they were at the Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention in Van-couver.

The George Hotel devel-opment has passed second reading at Council. A public hearing is scheduled for 7 pm Thursday, Oct. 1, also at the Elphinstone gym. Third reading is expected to take place at the Council meeting of Oct. 6 or Oct. 20.

On Saturday, Sept. 19 the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive (BCTFD) collected in excess of 440,000 pounds of food for 50 local food banks throughout the province.

On the Sunshine Coast, the BCTFD event collected an amazing 18,450 pounds of non-perishable food. One hundred and four volunteers provided 511 hours and vis-ited 7,500 homes to fill the shelves of three local food banks.

Burns Matkin, the BCTFD area representation, wants to acknowledge the volunteers from various organizations and multi-faith groups includ-ing:

Rona (Coast builders Inc.), Gibsons Building Supply,

Gibsons Fastener, Clayton's Supermarket, Rexall Drugs, Chatelech High School, Salva-tion Army, St. Bartholomew Church (Gibsons) Sunshine Coast Food Bank, Sunshine Coast Credit Union, The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-ter Day Saints, Gibsons Lions club, elements of the New-comer's club, the Pender Har-bour Pentecostal Church and Food Bank and many others.

Food drive: helping hands

As title sponsor for this year’s Sechelt Hospital Foun-dation annual golf tourna-ment, Coast Cable got social for a good cause.

“We wanted to find a way to go further this year with our support,” said Tannis Goodfellow, Sales and Mar-keting Manager. “And what better way to socialize the cause, than on social media.”

Ms. Goodfellow explained that the company made an additional contribution for every “like” the company re-ceived on its Facebook page. The result, combined with its

corporate sponsorship, to-talled $8,000.

“The Sechelt Hospital Foundation is proud to part-ner with Coast Cable and ap-preciates the generous spon-sorship to our foundation”, said Dr. Dan Dolden, Director, Sechelt Hospital Foundation. “This contribution will go di-rectly to the enhancement of services. The hospital could not do what it does without the generous support of the community, in particular Coast Cable.”

INCIDENT REPORTSEPTEMBER 22 - 29

On September 23, a hitch-hiker was picked up in Sech-elt by a female in an older model four door brown co-loured Toyota Camry with gold emblems. There was an approximately eight-year-old boy in the back seat playing video games. The woman, described as heavy-set, in her 30s, with a dirty blonde ponytail and wearing a tur-quoise shirt, told the hitch-hiker she wouldn't be able to drive all the way to the hitchhiker's destination, and stopped the car on High-way 101 at Bay Road. As the hitchhiker exited the car and gathered her belongings, the driver grabbed her purse and started driving away. The hitchhiker had to let go of her purse or risk being dragged. The purse was later recov-ered nearby with everything but the cash inside. Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to con-tact RCMP, reference file 15-6778.

On September 23, police witnessed a possible im-paired driver southbound on Fairway Avenue, Sechelt, after the vehicle drifted over the centre line then quickly corrected back into its lane. Police initiated a traffic stop and upon speaking to the

driver, noted signs of intoxi-cation. The driver was issued a roadside alcohol screening test but refused to provide a sufficient breath sample. Af-ter several failed attempts to provide a proper breath sam-ple, the driver was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for thirty days.

Sometime in September, a thief attempted to steal a large statue from a property in the 900 block of Marine Drive, Gibsons, but was un-successful. It appears the thieves returned between September 21 and 24 and stole a small bronze-coloured crouched winged gargoyle statue that weighs approxi-mately 30 pounds. The statue has great sentimental value. Anyone with any information about this theft is asked to contact RCMP, reference file 15-6824.

On September 26, police attended a two-vehicle in-cident near the intersection of Stewart Road and North Road, Gibsons, involving a passenger car and a tractor truck and trailer. Fortunate-ly, no major injuries were reported but both vehicles sustained damage and had to be towed from the scene. The passenger vehicle was stopped at the Yield sign and the driver of the tractor trailer failed to stop in time to avoid collision. The driver of the tractor trailer was issued a Violation Ticket for Follow-ing Too closely. The matter has been referred to ICBC.

On September 25, two shoplifters were caught on surveillance video stealing goods from a business in the 1100 block of Highway 101, Gibsons. The thieves were seen walking around with a large bag in a shopping cart and dropping items into the bag. They then took the bag out, abandoned the cart, and left the store. The female sus-pects are described as possi-bly Native and middle-aged. Police are reviewing the vid-eo footage.

On September 27, a local home based business owner reported being defrauded of a large amount of goods after receiving orders from Singapore and Malaysia. The business owner shipped the goods off without making the proper credit card and address verifications only to find that the suspects had used stolen credit cards to "pay" for the goods. The file is still under investigation.

Sport

Mike Oswald SC Special Olympics

Basketball Team, Olivia! And next spring I know you’ll set the track on fire!

In all, 58 athletes showed up. Fifty-five were returning and three are new.

The first sport to kick off the season will be swimming which starts on Oct. 3. We welcome our 2011 World Games athlete Stephanie Rogers back to swimming. She is also taking part in Rhythmic Gymnastics!

National Coaches week was Sept. 19-27. It was a time to thank all the coaches throughout the world who dedicate their precious time. It is especially important to our local chapter where the time and effort that the coaches volunteer is huge. It means our athletes can take part in something we con-sider a vital part of our lives.

Community support is evi-dent in other ways as well. On

Sept. 26 Ken McBride hosted a fundraiser for Special Olympics Sunshine Coast, at the Sechelt Arts Centre. Ken, a well-known local musician, also hosts a music program for people with disabilities at the Gibsons Community Cen-tre every Wednesday. Ken played some songs from his very progressive new album “Tone” including “Altamira”, “Tone” and a song originally recorded by Jimi Hendrix, “The Wind Cries Mary”

Ken played to a pretty packed venue and also had the crowd singing along to other songs such as the faves of the evening “Stand By Me” and ”Angel”

I would like to thank all those who attended and thank Ken for dedicating a wonderful evening to the to-tally awesome cause of Spe-cial Olympics.

Registration for Special Olympics 2015/2016 season took place in Sechelt on Sept. 17 at the Sunshine Coast As-sociation for Community Liv-ing office.

The whole room was abuzz with activity: athletes and caregivers moving this way and that. Some were paying fees (Special Olym-pics is a non-profit organiza-tion though certain fees ap-ply), others gabbed to each other about their summer vacations. Seeing everyone together again really had me looking forward to the new Special O season.

I talked with several ath-letes about what sports they chose. Many were repeating last season’s and some were trying new ones. Weather permitting snowshoeing might happen and we also discussed whether Dragon Boating could be a sport for coastal athletes.

I interviewed a new ath-lete who recently moved here from Saskatchewan. Ol-ivia Wensel told me that she had signed up for Track & Field and Basketball. She had previously done S.O. in her home province and is looking forward to trying the same sports here.

It will be great to have a new addition to the Gibsons

GIBSONS MARINE RESORT & RESIDENCES


“I want to see The George built for future generations and that the Town doesn’t go backwards. “ Oscar Hogue a pioneer and long time resident of Gibsons

“What I want is a vibrant community, a destination place for tourists to showcase our beautiful area, and for businesses here to be strong and profitable. What I believe we need right now… is for people and businesses interested in investing time and money in our community to feel welcome, appreciated, and encouraged.” – Fran Miller, Gibsons business owner and resident.

“This project is a great opportunity for the whole town of Gibsons and will go a long way to help with the ongoing and ever increasing infrastructure costs, provide jobs to keep our youth on the coast, bring tourists and conventioneers alike, fill up our empty stores, and provide year round opportunities for our retail and service industries.” Simon Broomhall, Gibsons resident.

“Some individuals have stated that the jobs created by this project will be of little value to our town. I strongly disagree. In fact, construction jobs and professional jobs resulting from this project will be significant and should not be undervalued. These are high paying trades and professional jobs that will result in sustainable incomes for families. The hotel operations jobs are not meaningless low paying jobs - many are career-building opportunities. A marine hotel rings true to our community and our history. We are known as a maritime town but without a maritime hotel or center. Our harbour is a jewel in the rough and The George will become the anchor business and a magnet for future opportunities.” Jeff Rhodes, President, Coastal Craft Boats, Gibsons Business owner.

“The dream of employment, a stable tax base and

thriving economy is something that shouldn’t

be trifled with as it affects merchants, overall

economics and the future of our youth. I believe

there will not be another opportunity like this

for the Sunshine Coast and its residents.” – Rudy

Kern, Gibsons resident and business owner.

“The George intends to meet the highest

environmental building standards in Canada.

Socially, it will provide stable year-round

employment and add to people’s use and

enjoyment of our beautiful harbour, while

helping many small coastal businesses with

spin-off economic benefits. In other words, it

will be a positive contributor to sustainable

development and quality of life on the coast.

We believe this project will enhance our

community and should proceed.”– Drs. Brian

and Mary Nattrass, Sustainability Partners Inc.

Gibsons residents.

“The George will support the community in

various ways: employment and educational

opportunities for our youth; employment for

our local trades and business suppliers; year-

round tourism; entertainment, health, social

events and venue facilities; updated and well

managed marine facilities and services. In

addition, there will be a much needed increase

of tax revenue from an expanded business and

residential tax base.” – Lisa & Shawn Lalande,

Gibsons residents and Business owners.

“I am 23 years old, was born on the Coast and

am employed in my chosen profession in food

hospitality. I would like to stay on the Coast and

raise a family. It would be great if there were jobs

at a professional level in the hospitality industry

in Gibsons instead of my having to move to

Vancouver to further my career. I think The

George hotel and the Vancouver Community

College training programs are a great idea.”

Luke Harbison, Gibsons resident

The Green Film Series fall program continues with an intimate portrait of the most influential environmental ac-tivist movement in history: Greenpeace. How to Change the World will screen on Monday, Oct. 5 at 7:30pm at the Gibsons Heritage Play-house.

The early days of this

media-savvy group come to life with remarkable foot-age, audio recordings and photographs which capture its most dramatic and iconic moments. From the rem-nants of mass slaughter at an abandoned whaling station to the maneuvering of Zodi-acs between the whales and Russian harpoons, the inven-

Greenpeace and the invention of “mind bombs”tors of “mind bomb” images succeeded in galvanizing the idealism of the time.

A raw portrait of the group’s original members, this treasure of archival foot-age is also the history of ac-tivism itself—idealism vs. pragmatism, principle vs. compromise.

The next film event in the

fall series, Fractured Land, follows Caleb Behn, a young Dene lawyer who may be-come one of his generation’s great leaders, if he can dis-cover how to reconcile the fractures within himself, his community and the world around him. Fractured Land will screen Monday Nov. 9, at the Heritage Playhouse in

Gibsons.For more information or

to reserve seats go to: www.greenfilms.ca.

Doors open at 7pm with the film starting at 7:30pm. Admission is by donation. The Gibsons Heritage Play-house is located at 662 North Road in Gibsons.

The Middle Age Vegan

Deb Calderon

After a long, hot summer it is time to turn the oven on again. This recipe comes from the Minimalist Baker a site dedicated to good food that can be made simply. It is easy to make, tastes good and is really healthy, as yams are a

wonderful source of fibre and vitamins.

Worldwide more than 30 million tons of yams are grown every year. Funny thing is even though yams and sweet potatoes look alike and can more or less be used interchangeably, they come from two different botanical families. Who would have guessed? For this recipe I used yams topped with a bit of tahini and some chopped

Simple, 30 minute baked sweet potatoes topped with roasted chickpeas, a simple garlic-herb sauce and a parsley-tomato salad. Delicious, fresh, healthy, and naturally vegan and gluten free.SERVES: 4

Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes

DIRECTIONS:1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with foil.2. Rinse and scrub potatoes and cut in half length wise. This will speed cooking time. Oth-erwise leave whole and bake longer (approximately double the time (45 min - 1 hour).3. Toss rinsed and drained chickpeas with olive oil and spices and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.4. Rub the sweet potatoes with a bit of olive oil and place face down on the same baking sheet (or another baking sheet depending on size).5. While the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are roasting, prepare your sauce by adding all ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisking to combine, only adding enough water to almond milk to thin so it’s pourable. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more garlic for more zing, salt for savoriness, lemon juice for freshness, and dill for a more intense herb flavor. I found mine didn’t need anything else.6. NOTE: If you don’t have hummus, tahini (which you can DIY!) will make a great base

substitution for the sauce - just adjust the seasonings to accommodate the lack of flavor tahini provides.7. Also prepare the parsley-tomato topping by tossing tomato and parsley with lemon juice and setting aside to marinate.8. Once sweet potatoes are fork tender and the chick-peas are golden brown - roughly 25 minutes - re-move from oven.9. For serving, flip potatoes flesh-side up and smash down the insides a little bit. Then top with chickpeas, sauce and parsley-tomato garnish. Serve immediately.10. Additional side ideas might include Hummus, Pita Chips, Baba Ganoush, or Persian Eggplant Dip. Enjoy!http://minimalistbaker.com/mediterranean-baked-sweet-potatoes/

INGREDIENTS:• 4 medium sweet potatoes• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained• 1/2 Tbsp olive oil• 1/2 tsp each cumin, coriander, cinnamon, smoked (or regular) paprika• Optional: Pinch of sea salt or lemon juiceGARLIC HERB SAUCE:• 1/4 cup hummus (or tahini)• Juice of 1/2 lemon (~1 Tbsp)• 3/4 - 1 tsp dried dill (or sub 2-3 tsp fresh)• 3 cloves garlic, minced• Water or unsweetened almond milk to thin• Optional: Sea salt to taste (I didn’t need any)TOPPINGS: (Optional)• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, diced• 1/4 cup chopped parsley, minced• 2 Tbsp lemon juice• Chili garlic sauce

up tomatoes and parsley. Yum.

When yams go on sale, which seems to be around the big winter holidays I stock up on a dozen or more big ones and store them in the base-ment. When I make this reci-pe I cook a few extra so that I have some on hand to whip up into other recipes. This is a perfect recipe for a rainy night here on the coast, in fact, it is perfect for any night..

Allergic reactions occur when the body's immune sys-tem attacks an often harmless substance like animal dander, food or pollen.

Understanding what trig-gers allergic reactions may help some people avoid them or make them easier to handle. POLLEN:

Pollen is perhaps the best-known allergy trigger. A fine, often yellow substance that's essential to the fertilization of flowers, pollen can be spread by wind, insects or other ani-mals. Hay fever sufferers may sneeze or experience a runny nose and itchy eyes when pol-len spreads. Over-the-counter medications, such as Clari-tin®, can be especially effec-tive at relieving symptoms of seasonal allergies.

PET DANDER:Dander are flakes of skin

in an animal's fur or hair. Be-cause of their microscopic size, these flakes of skin can easily attach and remain attached to bedding, fabrics and furniture. Many people keep their pets even if they develop allergies to dander. Should such a situ-ation arise, do not allow your pet into your bedroom, bathe the animal regularly and re-move carpeting in favour of bare floors or washable rugs.MOULD:

Mould is a furry growth of minute fungal hyphae that is often found in damp parts of a home, such as basements and bathrooms. Mould also can be found in grass and mulch, triggering allergic reactions when men and women spend

Understanding allergiestime in their yards. To avoid an allergic reaction triggered by mould, make sure moist ar-eas of your home get fresh air regularly and routinely clean ceilings or other areas where mould may grow.DUST MITES:

Tiny bugs that live in bed-ding, carpets, curtains, uphol-stery, and mattresses, dust mites feed on dead skin cells from people and pets. Dust mites also may feed on bac-teria, fungi and pollen. Dust mites thrive in humid condi-tions, but these pests can be combatted with hypoallergen-ic pillows and mattress covers. Removing materials that col-lect dust, such as carpet, also can reduce the number of dust mites. Metro

François le Roux, aka the HA!Man, is a South African cellist and multiartist that left the classical music world to embark on a journey of spontaneous music making. Self-managed, a global net-work of support has grown over time that invites and ac-commodates the “HA!Show."

The HA!Man appears at the Gumboot Cafe in Roberts Creek, Oct. 14, at 7pm. Ad-mission is $15.

Joining him is Belgian ac-tress and spoken word artist Joke Debaere. Like the term "HA!," their performance can hardly be rationally defined.

In 2001, François le Roux decided on the stage name, "The HA!Man" after failing to find any rational term to describe his music and art. As a child he improvised on piano before receiving his first lessons from his moth-er, an accomplished pianist. This introduction to music as a playing field to be discov-ered rather than studied re-mained with him throughout his schooling and lessons in

cello, piano and composition and into his career.

Through the nineties, he hitch-hiked around South Africa making his living through street and acoustic performance, and extended his art to include writing, drawing and dancing. Then came the use of computers and the creation of multi tracks. Over two decades during various tours in South Africa, the USA, Europe and the Far East, he has turned this HA! phenomenon into a mainstream success.

A show with no rational explanation

Joke Debaere became Fran-çois’ life and stage partner in an ongoing collaboration that broadens each performance into an intense journey to the heart, following the intuitive flow of cello and keyboard, word and dance, sound-scapes and theatre that will move, heal, inspire and ex-cite in ways that are deeply felt; ways that, just like the expression of HA!, can hardly be rationally explained.

You can look for an expla-nation at www.hamanworld.com. Submitted

Roberts Creek Community Association has launched “EEK! The Creek”, a three-part Halloween festival that includes a Zombie Walk, A Grave Decorating Contest and an online Story Writing Contest all revolving around the sleepy hollow-like com-munity.

“The most innovative ele-ment is the Story Writing Contest” says Ian Thomas, the organizer. “Essentially, Roberts Creek, and Guests are writing three Halloween Stories one chapter at a time. We wrote the Prelude and

the rest is to be written chap-ter by chapter, week by week by the community until Octo-ber 31st.”

Participants will have until Oct. 2, to submit their offer-ings for the first chapter to go with the prelude. Judges will pick one story in each of the three age groups. Thereafter participants can submit their offering for the next chapter in their age group. This will continue each week until the final chapter is due Oct. 29.

Stories will always be due on a Friday and the chosen chapters will be posted by

Creekers create a scarethe Monday.

Aspiring writers can find the prelude at RobertsCreek-Community.ca. Completed chapters should be sent to [email protected]

STAMNES, RobertDec. 4, 1933 – Sept. 19, 2015

Robert was born December 4, 1933. The youngest of four broth-ers, he quickly displayed great ath-leticism, excelling as a soccer and baseball player, scouted by profes-sional baseball in his teens.

Bob went on to attend engineering school at UBC. He moved to California to marry his wife of 59 years, Evelyn. His brilliance was first put to work at Hiller Air designing helicopters, followed by his role as Chief Design Checker on the Apollo Space programs Lunar Module unit which landed man on the moon. He designed landing gear for CP Air, and went on to become an accomplished technical writer for Lockheed.

His true passion was music and writing, which he pursued vigorously in retirement in his beloved Sechelt, along with being an active member in the Norwegian community in BC during his life.

Robert is predeceased by his daughter Christine Stefanik, his brothers Arne, Thor and Harold, and his parents Anton and Ambjorg Stamnes.

He is survived by his wife Evelyn, son Bobby (wife Karen) daughter Katrina, and grandsons Kristopher and David, great grandson Avery, along with son in law Rick Stefanik and many family and friends.

Funeral services will be held at Thursday October 15, 2pm, at Living Faith Lutheran Church, 4607 Whitaker Road, Sechelt BC.

In lieu of flowers, donations are welcomed to the Sunshine Coast SPCA by phone, mail or email.

Horoscope

Michael O’ConnorAstrologer

Tip of the Week:I was recently asked if

prophesy has anything to do with Astrology. The simplest answer is yes, but not nec-essarily. The ‘not necessar-ily’ part is based on the fact that sometimes the prophet simply has visions based on some level of psychic ability. Some might refer to such a person as a ‘seer’ versus a psychic, however. The basic difference is that the seer can be described as visionary regarding much larger numbers of people and with a wider scope of time and often suggestive of extraordinary people and/or of powerful and pivotal events. In so doing, the seer becomes a prophet. Still, not all who deem themselves a seer is also a prophet.

Often the future visions are achieved by some form of altered state. Whether it is induced by spiritual practices such as medita-tion, prayer, bouts of celi-bacy fasting or by a more shamanic tradition which often includes psychotro-pic plants and other hallu-cinogens, or by some other means of receiving revela-tions, the seer, prophet, vi-sionary, shaman perhaps enters some form of trance, transcending usual empiri-cal perceptions and inter-

pretations. Usually these people are directly or indi-rectly connected to a reli-gious or spiritual tradition.

Where Astrology tends to enter the picture is where the seer or prophet follows a religious tradition that is closely aligned with it. Ju-daism is one such tradition and subsequently Christian-ity and Islam and many oth-er religions too. In Judaism, the Holy Days are not fixed on dates but upon events, such as solar and lunar eclipses and other natural, rhythmic events. Numerol-ogy is woven into this sys-tem as well, especially in terms of specifically num-bered cycles of time, such as 7 year cycles for example. Because prophets make predictions, Astrology again serves as a very helpful tool because the alignment of planets which synchronize with outer events can be de-ciphered literally millennia in advance.Aries (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Relationship exchanges are keeping you busy now. Significant others are asking that you speak your truth rather than say what is pop-ular or politically correct. This can prove quite chal-lenging. Not everyone can handle another’s truth or be able to respect let alone like it. Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones and your expressions of love are hap-pily received and accepted.Taurus (Apr 20-May 21)

Establishing a whole new state of balance in your life has begun. This process in-

cludes creating beauty in your home. Hardly in a su-perficial mood, your goal is to go deep. This can include a deep cleaning and clear-ing process. Health is a key word and is linked to daily rhythms and habits. Tradi-tional approaches and prior beliefs may not suffice.Gemini (May 21-Jun 21)

An exciting and play-ful cycle has begun. This includes the dawn of new commitments. Your confi-dence levels should be on a steady rise. Yet you also feel moved, even compelled to get to the bottom of things. Financial considerations are implied. Inheritances, taxes, investments, insur-ance policies and the like are examples. Weaving work with play is the perk in your day.Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)

Home and family is a cen-tral focus for you and it is being activated now. Over the past month or so the pace has really begun to accelerate. You have more to do, yet you may also feel like you lack the skills or knowledge in some regards. Fortunately, your energy levels are running high and you are in the mood to get to work. Investment is a key word and focus now.Leo (Jul 22-Aug 23)

Slowly but surely you are beginning to reach out. Your ambitions are steadily on the rise and you need the support of others to achieve your goals. You remain in a wait-and-see mood, so making final commitments

may be delayed, but not for much longer, if at all. Al-though you are determined to increase your exposure and income, you remain cautious about which steps to take.Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Your focus is narrow-ing and this could actually prove to be a good thing. If you have something spe-cific to concentrate upon, do it or at least begin now. Mars recently entered your sign joining forces with Ju-piter which should serve to support an expansive drive. Change on relationship fronts is also featured and any endings will likely oc-cur peacefully.Libra (Sep 22-Oct 22)

The Sun in your sign sug-gests an impulse to take new leads. This is often more fully true after your birthday. The lead-up days, especially one week prior is a great time to reflect, dream and plan. It is also an excellent time for retreats and getaways even upwards to a month prior. This year the focus is largely inward to confront doubt demons and lay claim to deeper reserves of faith and opti-mism.Scorpio (Oct 22-Nov 21)

Diving deep, working hard, breaking through… these are the phrases that emerge in your horoscope. Gathering new tools and talents is also implied. At best, your imagination is ignited. Returns for past

efforts amount to feeling more independent. You may not yet feel quite as free as you like. Meanwhile, the game of love is keeping you entertained, or occupied.Sagittarius (Nov 21-Dec 21)

Accessing a fuller spec-trum of your sense of in-dividuality continues. Floating thoughts and a ka-leidoscope of ideas conspire to weave into a dream wor-thy of your time and energy. A steady expansion in your public sphere is gaining momentum. This includes training and skill develop-ment. Although determined, you are happy advance steadily.Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 19)

Getting the attention you want and feel you have earned and deserved is a focus for you now. You may not feel quite as confident as you like, but this is prob-ably due to the retrograde electrical disturbances. Yet your ambitions are strong, almost as much as your desires. Gaining the love, appreciation and ap-

proval of others feels extra important.Aquarius (Jan 19-Feb 19)

Due to a series of unex-pected turns you may be feeling just a little lost. Your ambitions however are guiding your focus. As well, supportive and harmonious relationships are also a big help. Returns are coming in and you have reason to feel confident. Yet, you may for some reason be dealing with low and inexplicable anxieties. If so, bring you focus back to what is clear and certain.Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

In order to expand you must reduce. Call it clearing the way. The energy of stuff gets old and tired. Yet one person’s junk is another’s treasure. So, give it away and trust in the law of re-turns. A garage sale might suffice. At deeper levels per-haps certain relationships no longer inspire and may even inhibit. As gratefully as you can, say farewell to these. Surrender to the need to be here now.
