Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) is putting on a film and music night Saturday September 6 at Roberts Creek Hall. Film making trio Tamo Campos, John Muirhead and Jasper Rosen of surf and snowboard-film fame have been travelling northern B.C. in a bio-diesel fueled truck, recording the amazing scenery and asking important questions about energy projects and sustainable communities. The young filmmakers visit the Nass Valley, Kitimat, Peace River and Fort St. John, among their many stops, and are invited into high schools and homes to discuss why resources are being shipped away from regions, with little apparent investment in the people and towns by corporations who take big profits from the lands.According to the film crew, the aftermath

that these projects leave in their wake have a significant personal impact on families and communities. “The crew do interviews with guys in the oil patch who are making good money but find their work soul-destroying and dangerous,” spokesperson for ELF, Ross Muirhead said, “they interview a kid who lost her dad to bad working conditions and high stress.” The film team also visits the Sacred Headwaters of the Nass, Stikine and Skeena River areas, as well as Dease Lake Tahltan territory where they came across a standoff between a mining company and residents protesting that they had not been consulted on the test mining that was being done there.This film night fundraiser for ELF will also

feature a concert from Carmanah, the musicians who wrote the soundtrack for Northern Grease, and a short talk about ELF’s current campaign to save Reed Rd. Forestry Reserve, an important watershed in the Town of Gibsons that has never been logged.“The forest cover helps to secure yearly water flows,” the conservation advocate explained, but when older forests are clear cut, clouds are no longer caught by the former treetops, which affects wells and creeks downhill from the logging operations.ELF’s event is Saturday September 6, with the film at 7:30pm, and roots style music at 9:30pm. Tickets $20 at the door or in advance at MELOmania, with proceeds to ELF conservation campaign. Apryl Veld

Shortly after 5 am on Saturday, Sunshine Coast emergency personnel re-sponded to the 6100 block of the Sunshine Coast Hwy, after a car crashed into a large tree. When police ar-rived on scene, the driver and three passengers had managed to get themselves out of the car, but the fourth passenger needed to be ex-

Collision claims one life in Sechelttricated by members of the Sechelt Fire Department. Paramedics transported the driver and three passengers to St Mary’s Hospital with minor injuries. The fourth passenger was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital, but died later in the morn-ing. Police have identified her as Summer August, from Sechelt.

Summer, a member of the Sechelt Indian Band, was only 18 years old said Cst Harrison Mohr with Sun-shine Coast RCMP. It is a sad day for Sechelt, and our thoughts go out to the girl’s family.

The car had been south-bound on the highway, when it veered off road to the right, travelled part ways down an

The Sunshine Coast Re-gional District (SCRD) is inviting all members of the community to participate in the third annual “Backroad Trash Bash” taking place on Saturday, September 13 from 11 am to 3 pm at the Lions Park Hall in Pender Harbour. This year, the event will focus on cleaning up illegal dump-

embankment, and collided with a large tree. No other vehicles were involved. The three other passengers were women aged 17 to 19 years old. Two were from Sechelt, and one was from North Vancouver. The driver was a 19 year old man from Vancouver, who had a class 7 novice licence, limiting him to one passenger.

It appears that the young driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash. We will certainly be looking at why the driver had more passengers than he was al-lowed to be carrying, and whether that played a role in the collision said Cst Mohr.

The driver has not been charged with any offences

at this time, however the investigation is continuing. Police remind young drivers that the restrictions placed on their licence are there for a reason –to keep them safe – and that drivers caught dis-regarding those restrictions will face penalties ranging from violation tickets to hav-ing their licence suspended.

sites in Pender Harbour.“Last year we removed 10

tonnes of material from back roads,” says Robyn Cooper, SCRD Zero Waste Coordina-tor.

In 2013, the event received an overwhelmingly positive response as more than 55 people gathered to clean up trash illegally dumped at re-

mote locations. Volunteers included residents, a team from Swanson’s Ready-Mix, members of the ATV Club and Sunshine Coast Geocach-ers (CITO), and staff from Capilano Highways, Telus, BC Conservation Service, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions, BC Parks and the SCRD.

Materials collected included household garbage, couches, tires, appliances, metal, and construction waste.

Last year, community volunteers were excited to participate in the “Bash” event, but hope the need for backroad clean up events is a temporary one. During this year’s event, community

volunteers will again work to relay the message that dump-ing trash in the woods is un-acceptable.

“Some materials that are dumped can be disposed of for free under product stew-ardship programs such as electronics, tires and house-hold hazardous waste,” says Cooper.

Registration begins at 10:30 am, at the Lions Park hall on Highway 101 across from the Pender Harbour Golf Club. Registration in-cludes a free BBQ lunch by the Pender Harbour Rotary Club and a chance to win door prizes. Info: [email protected] or 604-885-6800.

The Sunshine Coast Com-munity Foundation is en-couraging residents to take part in health care meetings this September to help shape health services on the Coast. In order to get feed back that reflects the opinions of a cross section of the people living in the region, they are hoping to get a good variety of people out to discuss what matters to them about health services, says Foundation Ex-ecutive Director Sandra Cun-ningham.

“While the government is aware of one or two burn-ing issues, they can’t do ev-erything, so residents need to bring their concerns for-ward,” Cunningham noted.

The meetings can help bring better coverage of health concerns for the area

Younger gen need to bring health care ideas

if a variety of people bring their opinions to the atten-tion of the health authorities, she explained.

“Young people have to show up for their voices to be heard on health care issues (for the Coast),” Cunningham emphasized, “otherwise the Baby Boomers like me, and seniors will be the majority of opinions at the table.”

A My Health, My Com-munity survey of 1000 re-sponses from the region gave the Foundation some good feedback, but there are issues that deserve community dis-cussion, Cunningham said.

Community input is critical to steering the health care di-rection of our region, and get-ting more of the younger gen-eration involved will make a difference for their services

for the future, she notes.People on the Coast have

several opportunities to come to round table talks in the communities of the Re-gional District, Sechelt and Gibsons.

GEORGE HOTEL NORTHEAST ELEVATION (WATERSIDE)

News from The George Hotel September Update

ADVERTISEMENT

In a few weeks, a number of The George Hotel project reports requested by the Town of Gibsons may be completed for presentation to Council, including a peer-reviewed geotechnical report on the aquifer. Watch for announcements when council resumes in September. THE RIGHT SIZE TO BE AN ECONOMIC CATALYST Recently, misleading �igures as to the projected height of The George have been “�lying around town” - (literally on a blimp) and otherwise. The attached architect’s drawing indicates the correct hotel building height from the seawalk. The size of the hotel is directly related to its ability to provide a successful economic driver for the town of Gibsons. According to leading hospitality consultant Stephen Darling, The George is currently designed at the “optimal size” required to attract high-level conference business and provide desirable guest room accommodation and amenities for this target market. With only 116

rooms, the hotel meets the 100-room minimum required by meeting planners, and will also provide spin-off business for other local motels, B&B’s and hotels. In order for The George Hotel to be a year-round economic catalyst, the ability to attract conference and association business is a prerequisite, and the size of the hotel must accommodate these needs and provide attractive services as well. In addition to the 14,000 s.f. conference level, The George will feature a 21,000 s.f. world-class Health and Wellness Centre, unlike anything else in the region. The George Hotel, conference, and health and wellness amenities, will provide a year-round business generator for the Gibsons region, creating over 150 direct part time and full time jobs among its many social, cultural and spin-off economic bene�its.For more information visit: georgegibsonshotel.com or visit the information sign at the foot of Wynn Road and the waterfront.

School Board for District 46, Sunshine Coast met at a special meeting on August 27 to move some items forward including having their bylaw in place to allow the election of trustees in November at civic election time.

Negotiations between the teachers and province was

Hopes for progress on teachers strikealso a key issue being dis-cussed.

“We were looking for up-dates on the bargaining situ-ation and the Board sent a letter advocating an end to the dispute,” a District 46 em-ployee said. The Board sent letters to student households on August 20, warning them

September 9, 2014 is inter-national Fetal Alcohol Spec-trum Disorder (FASD) Aware-ness Day. SC Community Services will have informa-tion booths at Trail Bay Mall from 10am-noon and at Sun-nycrest Mall from 1pm-3pm.

Did you know that 30% of women drink during preg-nancy and that FASD is the leading cause of preventable developmental disability in North America, with ap-proximately 1 in 100 babies born prenatally exposed to alcohol? International advo-cates and researchers have deemed FASD a pandemic. FASD is not a women’s issue, FASD is a societal issue with huge economic costs. FASD is not limited to any one group and is present across many cultures and economic sta-tus. Whenever there is access to alcohol, children are born affected.

The costs for the individual who is prenatally exposed to alcohol are equally burden-

FASD Awareness Daysome: memory impairment; intellectual delay; impulsiv-ity; emotional dysregulation; difficulty with problem solv-ing and abstract thinking are just a few of the challenges that children and adults living with this brain difference ex-perience on a daily basis. The hardest part: the daily strug-gles of this invisible disabil-ity are life long, and present enormous strain on families and caregivers who attempt to support their loved ones affected by FASD. The out-comes for those living with FASD can be discouraging: unemployment; homeless-ness; criminality; addictions; mental health problems and suicide.

What can we do as a com-munity? Prevention, educa-tion and support; several times a year the Circle of Sup-port offers community-based training to both family mem-bers and professionals. There are many online resources where you can find informa-

of the possible school disrup-tions for the week.

On Friday the mediator for the province and teachers, Vince Ready told the media that the sides were still quite far apart in their positions.

Meanwhile the local school board announced a surplus of $1.2 million.

tion, strategies and support networks. We can build our understanding of this invis-ible disability and be a more accommodating community. It is not the individual living with the permanent disabil-ity that must change, it is the people surrounding them that must shift perspective and accommodate the brain difference.

Researchers have not been able to determine a “safe amount” of alcohol that can be consumed during preg-nancy. If you are pregnant, the safest option is to not drink alcohol. Spouses, part-ners and families can support pregnant women by also ab-staining from alcohol.

The Circle of Support at Sunshine Coast Community Services Society offers sup-port to children, youth and families affected by FASD and other Complex Developmen-tal Behavioural Conditions. We also offer direct support and consultation to other community support services and professionals who work

LNG a win-win for some

I ask that you please use your influence to optimize impact to B.C.’s economy by having Victoria and Ottawa cooperate to tie potential fi-nal permit issue to ensure enough Canadian content to benefit our local economy. We are after all talking about a clean value-added business that has ships loading and leaving 40 times per year, less than once a week. Recent dis-cussion appears to have gen-erated fictional setback “stan-dards” such as 1500-1600 m. In the States the U.S. Coast

Guard (USCG) has juris-diction over the permitting of offshore LNG terminals. They have identified mostly site specific, sometimes ship specific safety setbacks rules. A ship specific example “to provide for the safety of life at sea by excluding vessel traffic from the waters immediately adjacent to LNG carriers” is typically 100-yard separation from LNG vessels transit-ing the harbor and 150-foot separation from LNG ves-sels moored pier side. So lets not ask Ottawa to block LNG tankers from Howe Sound. Let’s instead have the well-established environmental assessment process de-liver a rational decision on whether we want to gener-ate wealth in our own back-yard by building a local value chain with local jobs. And do this all at the same time as offsetting some of China and other Asian countries coal burn to cleaner burning nat-ural gas. Sounds like a WIN-WIN to me.Nick Vermeulen, MSc - Gibsons

Ferries make it tougher for elderly visiting Mainland

My personal experience is a glaring example of the very unsatisfactory service on our Route 3 ferry. On Wednesday August 27, I intended to visit my wife in intensive care at the hospital in North Van-couver. I made a reservation for the 5:50 pm ferry back to Langdale. I was later in-formed over the phone that the schedule was changed to 6.35 pm.

On Wednesday I checked the ferry website at around 2 pm for the Langdale Ter-minal situation and saw that the ferry was already half full for the 3.40 sailing. I rushed to the Langdale terminal and was directed to the lower holding area. The ship ar-rived at Langdale at 3.40 pm when she should have sailed. After a delay of about 15 min-utes vehicles finally loaded.

We arrived at Horseshoe Bay with a delay of 40 min-utes, at 5 pm. I had to rush to Lion’s Gate Hospital through the increasing evening rush hour traffic and arrived there at 5:25 pm. I could talk to my wife for 5 minutes and then had to rush back to Horse-shoe Bay terminal in order to protect my reservation be-fore 6 pm for the 6:35 sched-uled sailing time. I made it at 5:55 pm. The ferry finally sailed 70 minutes late at 7:45 pm. I then had to drive home at night, which I am trying to avoid, being over 87 years of age. Travelling to North Vancouver, costing me $64 in fares/reservation to talk to my wife at hospital for 5 min-utes only – Is this Good Value for Money? - Not in my opin-ion and in the assessments of a multitude of residents of our SSC, judging from the many complaints about the very unsatisfactory service this summer.Frustrated,Jakob Knaus

Uncontrolled substance and needed medicine

Every day, our kids turn to dealers, gangs and crimi-nals to buy marijuana, put-ting them in harm’s way. For them, buying marijuana is often easier than cigarettes.

In fact, an April 2013 Unit-ed Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) study found that at 28 percent, Canada leads the developed world in can-nabis use among teenagers. This is a shocking statistic. And it clearly demonstrates how the Conservative gov-ernment’s continued pro-hibition of the substance is failing to keep pot out of the hands of Canadian youth. The Liberal solution is clear: If we pass smart laws that tax and strictly regulate mari-juana, we can better protect our kids, while preventing millions of dollars from go-ing into the pockets of crimi-nal organizations and street gangs. It’s a position that even the New York Times is calling for in the United states.

Seven months after Colo-rado moved to regulate and tax the substance, marijuana prosecutions are down 77 percent, burglaries and rob-beries are down from a year ago, and the state has collect-ed $23.6 million in revenue from taxes, licenses and fees.Thank you. Sean CaseyJustice Critic, Liberal Party of Canada MP, Charlottetown

As we look forward to upcoming municipal and school board elections in November, now is a good time to get fa-miliar with the issues and see what local governments have accomplished the past three years. Our civic and regional and school board employees are capable of answering questions about issues that pertain to their area of work. There are many departments in local governments which handle specific re-sponsibilities, such as corporate administration, engineering and public works, finance, parks, culture, planning and devel-opment. Local government offices can help you find the de-partment you’re looking for.

Changes on the Coast are happening and there are various moves to new development, some rezoning plans and indus-tries looking to expand. Local governments are upgrading some of the systems including water and sewage, as well as beating the bushes for investment and creating policies to en-courage development. We see some economic opportunities are on the horizon, but must weigh and calculate the burdens on our existing reservoirs, pipes and roads, beaches and trails. However, without a solid tax base, a lot of services can fall apart in a very short time. By the same token, rampant devel-opment can destroy the character and serenity that makes a place attractive in the first place.

Many citizens have the ability to offer insight and make valuable suggestions for their area in planning committees and social forums, and luckily some capable people are active in our community finding solutions to problems, working with various groups and local government, trying to see the area become more vibrant and liveable. And many groups want to welcome your involvement, so think about how adding your two cents may be worth the effort. An engaged population can help shape a region and its services more tailored to the needs of its people.

The outcomes are more successful when both the public and its service providers try to be on good terms. It’s impor-tant to be civil, to do some research into what you’re enquiring about and to give a reasonable time for answers. No one wants to offer help to those who come with their heads in the clouds or spouting an attitude, even if you are justifiably upset.

It’s necessary for citizens to be informed, but for that we need to have local governments that are transparent and helpful. How satisfied the public is depends often on how wel-comed citizens feel when they make enquiries. If the service providers are unhelpful, abrasive or secretive, there can be a climate of distrust build that feeds the “ivory tower” percep-tion of local powers. There’s a lot of energy and good will wasted when people don’t try to have a respectful conversation with one another in the community. We ultimately alienate people who might have been helpful for our cause or issue. When different factions are willing to work together, there is progress, but it takes effort and tenacity and since it involves human beings, it also definitely takes calm heads and as often, a good sense of humour.

School start date uncertain

As of this date, negotia-tions are on-going between the British Columbia Teach-ers’ Federation and the Min-istry of Education. School start-up this September re-mains uncertain as an agree-ment has yet to be reached.

I am hopeful that an agree-ment will be achieved, how-ever, if an agreement is not reached, the school year will be delayed. School District No. 46 schools will be closed to students while teachers continue to be on strike as our staff would not be able to offer an effective and safe learning environment without our teachers in the schools. Please plan to make alternate arrangements for your child/children during this time.

I am very proud of the education our teachers pro-vide in our pubic schools and deeply appreciate the hard work and support provided by all staff in the Sunshine Coast School District.

The school district web-site, Facebook and Twitter accounts will be updated as more information be-comes available. If you have any questions regard-ing your child’s education, please speak to your child’s principal.Yours sincerely,Patrick Bocking, Superintendent

Indian bands in B.C. are developing strong business relationships within towns and regions around them, and one of those leading the way has been Osoyoos Band Chief Clarence Louie. The Os-oyoos Band has a good work-ing relationship with area governments and businesses, and Louie said that is help-ing build a stronger regional economy.

Louie will be speaking in

Chief Louie to share Osoyoos Band’s successesSechelt on September 21 at Rockwood Centre. The Chief and CEO of the Osoyoos Band has invited commerce to his area by leasing land for de-velopments and supporting business start ups.

“We contribute $10 mil-lion to the (South Okanagan) economy,” he noted.

Among it’s modern history of successful enterprises, the Osoyoos band has developed a golf course, hotel and RV campground, he said, and area businesses and resi-dents have been reaping the benefits of closer business and social ties.

“It’s the same on reserve or off, if there’s no jobs people won’t stick around,” Louie observed.

He advocates that all groups and governments

need to seriously consider business opportunities and work together with First Nations if they want to help their communities.

“Municipalities and bands both have a stake in the local economy and the business relationship should work, all sides should have things to bring to the table,” Louie told the Local Weekly news.

He said service agree-ments are another way gov-ernment and bands can help share resources to help com-munities. Inviting municipal services such as water works and waste treatment to band lands is a good way of help-ing solve land shortages near towns, and to bring better services to reserves.

Most recently the Band struck a deal for an industrial

park and a provincial prison, the latter of which is a $200 million project that Louie estimates will bring 350 permanent jobs to the South Okanagan.

“Jobs is what makes a town happen,” Louie empha-sized, “there were some great schools going to shut down and people need an educa-tion, so the economy needs to function to keep the schools open.”

The Chief of 28 years for the Band said they are in good company with other First Nations in as Kamloops and several bands on the Lower Mainland working with government and busi-nesses to get development happening.

“They’re not in a depen-dent or conflict relation-

ship with the municipalities around them, they’re in a businesses relationship,” Louie emphasized.

Coast folks flocked to Dougal Park on Monday to celebrate Labour Day at a barbecue sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Labour Council with various other groups and businesses. Kids played, adults talked and all enjoyed the warm after-noon atmosphere in Gibsons Landing.

As well as the outdoor grilled offerings, speeches and music were also on the menu. Second generation

Families enjoy Labour Day picnicCouncil member Grant Olsen was one of those who sang some labour songs including The Working Poor and Poor Man’s Holiday.

Olsen’s parents were some of the founding members of the Coast branch of the La-bour Council, noted council member Marilyn Green.

She explained that Coast union employees have a proud history of sticking together to protect workers rights on the Coast.

“Unions supporting unions is what solidarity means, and this year we are with the BCTA in their struggles,” Green explained, “we walk each other’s picket lines, we support one another.”

The Council is proud of what unions have accom-plished, she emphasized, including decent working conditions, minimum wage and overtime.

Why refinish?Whether you’ve had hard-wood floors for a long rime or just discovered them under old carpeting, you’ve probably considered refinishing them. Waxing and/or buffing often provides a good shine but refinishing the floor is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood.

Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community by register-ing and fundraising for Paws for a Cause walk. The Scotia-bank & BC SPCA-sponsored event is held each September to raise funds for abused, in-jured, neglected and home-less animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the

province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia.

The Paws for a Cause walk locally will be held at Cliff Gilker Park in Roberts Creek on Sunday, September 7 from 11 am, with the walk starting at noon.

Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including an

on-trail scavenger hunt pro-vided by Eagle Ridge Veteri-nary Hospital and The Land-ing Veterinary Clinic, games for dogs and their owners on the field and trails, a Nosework demonstration by search and rescue training dog, Joyce Tattersall, a toonie prize draw, a barbecue, and more! Proceeds from the walk will benefit animals at the Sunshine Coast SPCA, and

is generously supported by local sponsors – All for Pets (Gold Level), Sechelt Animal Hospital (Gold Level), Sechelt Plumbing (Gold Level), and No Pawblems K9 Camp Com-panion Animal Care (Commu-nity Level).

Rezoning sought for Roberts Creek GalleryOn June 6 an application

was made at the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) to rezone a prop-erty on Lower Road that presently houses Goldmoss Gallery as well as a private residence, in order to re-zone the property to allow art shows to be attended by the public, offer art classes and allow parking for visi-tors on-site.

The owners of the prop-erty, Bon and Lee Roberts said they bought the prop-erty 14 years ago and erect-ed a new 2,000 square foot studio gallery for showing their work.

“After almost five years of operation, only one com-plaint has been filed against the gallery with the SCRD, which happened this year,” Goldmoss gallery own-

ers asserted in an e-mail, “Based on our experiences on many levels and the sup-port we’ve enjoyed from the community for our own work and for Goldmoss Gal-lery itself.”

The Roberts Creek resi-dents said they had decided to legitimize their opera-tions and pursue rezoning to get any issues sorted sooner than later.

“To that end, we are com-mitted to working with all parties, including those in our neighbourhood, Rob-erts Creek and the SCRD to see the rezoning come to pass,” the artists wrote.

A public hearing will be held on Monday Septem-ber 8 at 7 pm in the Roberts Creek Hall to allow the com-munity to be heard on the is-sue. Apryl Veld

The first and second grand unveilings of the Outdoor Art Gallery will take place in Gib-sons Landing this Sunday.

“Our goal is to create the first Outdoor Art Gallery on the Sunshine Coast and per-haps in the world,” says Wil-liam Baker, one of the found-ers of the Galleries initiative.

“We believe in ‘fresh air, fresh art’ by creating places for locals and visitors to view art in the great outdoors.

These two murals are just the beginning,” he said.

The first “unveiling” will take place at Zócalo located at 441 Marine Drive in Gib-sons Landing on Sunday, September 7 at 2 pm and a second unveiling will occur in Molly’s Lane at 3 pm.

“We have a beautiful blank wall that is just waiting for this artwork,” said Joann Hetherington, owner of Zó-calo, “We’re delighted to be

DS Danse, junior and se-nior youth dance companies based in Gibsons, are cur-rently on a mission to send 24 dancers and chaperones to Belgium in August of 2015 on a Cultural Exchange with another youth company, Cie Ph/f/ase, based in Gistel , Bel-gium. The year 2015 marks the 100th Anniversary of the Canadians involvement in the 2nd Battle of Ypres and danc-ers are preparing to create a memorial piece to perform at the Menin Gate ceremony. In addition, they are putting together a full-length show to

perform while in Belgium. “In July of 2015, the danc-

ers of Cie ph/f/ase will be joining us here in Gibsons to participate in our Sea caval-cade celebrations and pres-ent a full show of their own work,” organizers said.

The companies share a similar objective in that they provide high quality training and performance opportuni-ties for their members, aged 10 to 18, in a number of dif-ferent disciplines includ-ing, ballet, contemporary, tap, modern and acrobat-ics. With one year to go, the group of dancers along with the supporting association Sunshine Coast Youth Dance Association (SCYDA) have nearly reached the half way mark on their goal of raising $65,000.00 to cover airfares, associated travel costs and costumes. Last Saturday’s silent auction and raffle at Sunnycrest Mall were a big success, Heidi Riggs said.

“Dancers had some fun and some beautiful prizes were donated,” Riggs added, “A huge thank you to every-one for all of your support.”

DS Danse says to watch for fundraisers including a spon-sored dance-a-thon, yoga

by donation and a costume sale. To make a donation please contact Noni Weitz by e-mail: [email protected] and see their website at www.dsdanse.ca.

A Wilson Creek man chased a dream of owning a fast muscle car beginning at a tender age. When local artist James Pashniak first saw the 68 Chevy Impala SS he still races, he was far from legal driving age.

“I saw the car in grade four, a couple of doors down from a buddy of mine,” he re-calls, “I started knocking the guy’s door in grade 12.”

The owner at the time had plans to fix up the car with his own son, and so he turned the young Pashniak away, but he wasn’t put off.

“I just kept coming back and asking every year,” he says with a smile.

By graduation he had a job and was getting closer to being able to purchase the object of his desire, and after 9years of pursuing the sturdy classic car, it was fi-nally his.

Part of the appeal of this particular car was the wheels, Pashniak explained.

“It had (tire) rims on it that were very old and very

rare,” he pointed out, 15” Magnum 500 rims to be ex-act, with lug nuts called Red Dot 3-prong Knock Offs.

The same wide rims still take his car down the airport drag strip for the Sunshine Coast races every June and August. The tone of the 396 engine is impressive when it revs or idles, and time print- outs from the local races at

the airport in Wilson creek show some impressive skill on the driver’s part as well, including a “perfect light’” in 2003.

Photos of the car display its different paint jobs over the years, which always include local causes that Pashniak supports, including Habitat for Humanity and Happy Cat Haven.

Pashniak sent thanks to “Lord Mopar” Clarke of Wil-son Creek Farms for his me-chanical wizardry and his in the Rust Bucket racing team-mates for their support.

Sunshine Coast Drag Rac-ing Association will be as-sembling for a members-only Test and Tune event in September 21.

Car Co-op announces Casual Driver planCoast Car Co-op an-

nounced two new driving plans today designed to make car sharing on the coast even easier. With 83 drivers and 3 cars, the Coast Car Co-op of-fers affordable, convenient and greener access to ve-hicles on the coast. The first new plan is the Casual Driver Plan. It gives people access to all three cars for $25 per month plus driving costs, and does not require purchase of membership shares. The sec-ond new plan is for members - the Member Plus Plan. It saves members $2 per hour on driving rates for a $20 per month fee. Both plans are now available.

“Our July promotion and summer savings generated a great response. These new plans are the co-op’s re-sponse to community feed-back for more flexible ways to join and save”, says Johan Stroman, Executive Director with the Coast Car Co-op. “If the $400 refundable mem-bership share is out of reach, the Casual Driver Plan at $25 per month makes it much easier to try for a few months and then decide if it’s a good fit for you. The Member Plus plan is a great step to make driving even more afford-able for members who drive on average 4x per month or more”

Regular membership re-quires a one-time life-time fully refundable membership share deposit of $400. All plans require a $25 Regis-tration Fee. Vehicle bookings cost $4 per hour plus $0.40 per km for the first 40km ($0.20 for added km per trip). This includes cost of gas, insurance, maintenance and roadside help.

“We are closing in on Car 4 and soon Car 5. You could expect a truck as soon as September. It’s very exciting! Ten more members and 20 more people driving will get us there! ” For more informa-tion, please visit the Coast Car Co-op website: www.coastcarco-op.ca or call 778-374-3092. Submitted

This month municipalities across the province including Sunshine Coast districts got report cards on their road safety which included bike and pedestrian concerns, thanks to British Colum-bia Automobile Association (BCAA).

The road condition poll was done through a BCAA survey which included only paved, public roads —“in-cluding a bridge or tun-nel—that’s maintained by a government road authority,” BCAA’s website noted.

The roads on the Coast that were voted the worst includ-ed Sunshine Coast Hwy with over half of the complaints being about pedestrian and bicycling safety, and the oth-er half about mostly potholes and crumbling pavement.

Sandpiper Road and Wharf Avenue in Sechelt were also pegged for needing repairs or alterations.

In a letter to municipali-

Report card on worst roadsties, BCAA noted it is not passing judgement on the ar-eas’ public works or provin-cial governing of roads.

“We understand that re-pairs and improvements take time, and BCAA recog-nizes publicly the roadwork that has been underway and planned at both the provin-cial and municipal levels,” BCAA’s Director of Com-munications and Commu-nity, Mark Donnelly stated. Apryl Veld

Sep 4, 2014

Commitment: September through June, with one or more camping trips depending on your preference.

Hours: Two, to two and a half hours per week, plus once a month District (leaders) meeting. Some additional time needed for training & planning meetings.

requirements: An interest in working with girls in our communities and teaching them how to achieve greatness! Also needed are women who may be interested in Administration positions (such as Secretary, Treasurer and various council members). It is not necessary to have a daughter or relative in Guiding to join.

Benefits: Ongoing mentorship available to assist you with the program and Administration positions;

• Ongoing training opportunities in program delivery, leadership, communication, and financial management;

• Opportunities to participate in District, Area or Provincial Guiding events (Hands Across Lions Area, Snowflake Ball, SOAR, Mix-It-Up, bridging events with other branches of Guiding (Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders), Discovery Camp, etc.), as well International trips.

• Networking with a large group of talented women who hold various positions within Guiding (unit leaders, treasurers, commissioners, etc.) and who are always willing to share their experience and knowledge with you.

• Opportunity to build and gain experience to improve your professional resume

Job Sharing: Encouraged! Many hands make light work. Having one or two people as co-leaders will not only lighten the load for each person, it will also give you someone to share ideas with!

As with most organizations, volunteer status within Girl Guides of Canada is always changing. Some volunteers follow their daughters to the next level of Guiding. Younger (and older) volunteers who have no children in the organization leave for school or travel opportunities, and other volunteers choose to move higher in the organization, taking on positions that don’t involve working directly with the girls. But whether a volunteer is able to give 1 hour a week or 10 hours a week, they are all appreciated equally.

Please consider joining Girl Guides of Canada as a volunteer if you are interested in the above opportunity in any community on the Sunshine Coast. Our Unit volunteers are our most valuable asset. If you are able to be a co-leader with another parent or even a friend, and are willing to give 2 hours a week for a 10-month commitment, please contact one of the following people below (or your current unit leader) for further information. We appreciate it, and we know the girls appreciate it too!

Horoscope

MichaelO’Connor Astrologer

Tip of the Week: The September 8th Full

Moon is also the Harvest Moon. While not as big as last month’s –‘Supermoon’ is will appear larger than usual. Be-yond the romantic or eerie, as the case may be, image of the Full Moon, Astrology cele-brates the effects of the Moon related to the flow of emotion people feel. The ‘influence’ of the Moon on nature is a sci-entific given. It even goes as far as to prove that without the Moon, there would not be life on our planet, at least not life beyond microbes.

Most people will agree that the Moon, especially at Full Moon exerts an influence on human behaviour. The po-lice, fire departments and hospitals will often attest to this. Some people are more sensitive to the influence of the Moon and some less. This fact can be measured in their Astrology Chart. Some people are more ‘lunar’ some more ‘solar’ and some are a balance between the two and so come under the category of ‘soli-lunar’.

Lunar types are the most effected and the influence is quite measurable. Yet, it is a subjective, emotional shift so one has to watch closely which is facilitated by follow-ing an Astrology Calendar to observe the subtle shifts un-folding as the Moon travels, changes signs and makes as-pects to the Sun and planets. Since the planets are ever in motion as well, no two mo-ments are ever the same, but there are patterns and guide-lines one can follow.

I am currently offering both a 1-Day Workshop and a 4-Evening Webinar that teaches you how to read and follow an Astrology Calendar. It provides both a practical tool that stands on its own that helps you to ‘decide when’ is the best time to do certain things such as host events, sign important docu-ments or make expensive purchases or investments. It can also be used to measure the degree to which you are influenced by the Moon. This knowledge also provides a solid foundation for further studies in Astrology. If you are sensitive to the Moon, it can prove to be especially useful and explains and even tells you when you are likely to experience emotional highs and lows. If you are interest-ed in either the Workshop or Webinar, please contact me for details and dates. sunsta-

[email protected] (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The moment of transi-

tion has arrived. You have already been negotiating the shift from summer to fall. Even though summer still has two official weeks to go, September has a way of say-ing, ‘the party is over’. But you remain in play mode in some respects. A deeper and wider scope of creativity is implied. Is it time to weave more arts and culture into your life?

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)When it comes to fun, you

like to get down to business. This is both literally the case but also in terms of cultivat-ing your talents. As the sign of ‘multiple streams of income’, you like to see returns from everything you do. You are extra committed to the future these days and this includes ‘inventions in the garage’ and other such behind the scenes innovations.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)Your focus is steadily turn-

ing to home. This includes creating beauty there. Clean-ing and clearing the clutter is the first step. You may notice you feel like going the extra distance to sanitize and uplift the overall state of hygiene. Still, your social agenda re-mains active and you are glad for that. Cleaning and clear-ing at home may also inspire you to invite guests over.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Some noticeable shifts

close to home are affecting your career focus, and the other way around too. You are feeling determined to make a few key moves and in-vestments to expand your lot. Yet you are happy to proceed slowly, to think extra care-fully before you act. This in-cludes doing your homework to decipher who is offering the best deal.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)You are feeling the urge to

get to work. Financial pres-sures and ambitions may be provoking your focus. Gener-ally, you have entered an ex-pansive cycle in your life. This implies entering new terri-tory, literally and figuratively. Yet it remains important that you identify what constitutes your strength and power to leverage.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)You have entered a rather

dynamic go-ahead cycle. Al-ready negotiations are un-derway. You may still be in an experimental mode. This includes trying new angles and strategies. Establishing the ground of this new norm may take a while. So, be pa-tient with your expectation on results and continue to build upon new foundations.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Stepping out of the lime-

light for a while to get things done behind the scenes con-tinues. Demands on your time and invitations to meet and greet will likely continue, so you will have to be diplo-matic. For the sake of your overall health, take some time out. This way you will be rested when you need the energy most again…soon.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)The time has come for

more of your individuality to be revealed. This includes asserting a more indepen-dent stance. However, with your assertiveness levels at a peak now you are probably wise to exercise discernment and moderation. Trying too hard to change others and not shifting your own posi-tion could back fire, big time. Intend to advance, coopera-tively.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)Cultivating a healthy life-

style is an important feature of your destiny. This is direct-ly linked to the importance of right vocation. Purely chas-ing the money trusting that the happiness will follow may not be a good idea. Step-ping back and taking a philo-sophical perspective, aim for doing something you love or at least like. Above all, make your health a priority.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) A busy cycle finds you

covering a lot of ground. Meetings, correspondences, errands and a good deal of communicating are likely. You are seeking leads, con-tacts and facts to strategize your next series of moves. Aims to achieve these through social and cultural activities are likely and ideal. Do the mingle-elbow-rub-hand-shake dance.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)Sometimes it is all about

what you know; other times it’s about who, and some-times it is both, like now. Your ambitions are and have been steadily rising. Yet you may be realizing that it is not so ‘warm’ out there, despite the weather. This is where revealing and brushing-up on your skills is implied. As well, be willing to get more training.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Things are opening in

your relationship life. Fam-ily gatherings are likely and ideal. You are in a playful and passionate mood and will enjoy engaging with others. However, there is reason to encourage you to be prudent and not too casual or cavalier. Do bring your heart to mat-ters, yet also be willing to make those extra efforts that will make all the difference.
