Nearly forty sculptors from near and far worked all morning and part of the after-

noon on the Davis Bay tidal flats to bring their ideas to life. Everything from spiritual influences, classic castles, sea life and land animals graced the tidal seabed in the form of sand sculptures.

“People come and don’t realize it takes a lot of work - all day,” Bob H. told The Local Weekly news reporter, “there’s some really ingenious things made, and every year it gets better and better.”

Hundreds enjoyed the creations, while volun-teers ensured the contest was well organized. Na-ture gave lots of good wet sand for the sculptors to work with, and then the tide rushed in to cool off the crowds and reclaim the beach.

Musicians from the Creek Big Band showed off their fabulous talents at Mission Point Park stage with a selection of finger-snapping jazz tunes to keep the festive spirit ringing through-out the afternoon. The judges were challenged to pick from the myriad great entries that were announced by Sechelt mayor, John Henderson, who was helped in handing out the medals.

The winners were: 12-and-under Youth Group: First Place was won by Turtle by the Nerd Herd, Second Place was Eight Piglets by Big Pig, Third Place was Sandcastle Volcano by Badda Badda Boom, with honourable mention to Shark by Jaws.

Family category included First Place with

Mermaid by The Wonderful Woods team, Second Place to Hippos by the Hippo Family, Third was Turtle and Castle by the Sandsharks, with honourable mention going to Big Dogs for Davis Bay Dog.

Group Category winners: First Place, Love Ot-ters by the Lowe Walls, Second Place was Taran-tula Spider by Green team, Third for Ocean Floor by the Nolan team. Three honourable mentions for Group included Crabs Etc, Beach Bruna and Sand Cookies.

The Fosters from England were the farthest-origin entry and Erica and Emma’s team were noted for most contests attended.Apryl Veld

The Davis Bay Sandcastle Contest was attended by admiring crowds under sunny skies and a warm Salish Sea on Saturday, July 12.

MP for West Vancouver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country, John Weston came to congratulate, Mind the Gap program director, Stacia Leech and talk about the innovative program that runs out of Roberts Creek Com-munity School. Photo APRyL VeLd

Amid fiddles and ac-cordions practising in

the classrooms next to her office, a local educator was hard at work, fine-tuning the next phase for a youth program for grades 7-12 developed at Roberts Creek Community School.

Hailing the success of the Mind the Gap program, Member of Parliament for West Vancouver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country, John Weston came to con-gratulate, Mind the Gap program director, Stacia Leech and to talk with her about the Health Canada-supported initiative.

Weston began by clarify-ing what the “Gaps” in the program name, Mind the Gap (MTG) are referring to: moving between el-ementary and high school, and then the gap between high school and post-secondary training, along with other common haz-ards for youth.

“You have seen (young people) at risk because of the transition period and there’s concerns about temptation to substance abuse or other areas of instability, so you’ve put together this very interest-ing program,” Weston en-quired, “what inspired you to do this?”

Leech explained that the MTG program is in its third phase of its mandate in working with teens, which started focusing on teen behaviour and trying to change behaviour.

“At this iteration of the program we are also working with the families of the ado-lescents and the teachers,” Leech explained, “working with the school district and re-writing policy ... around social and emotional learn-ing programs.”

Social and emotional learning programs are the the root of prevention, Leech affirmed. They are also cornerstones to building what she calls “capacity and resiliency” in helping youth cope with, and resist patterns of destructive behaviour and substance abuse.

Mind the Gap is impor-tant, its project manager notes, because it’s all based around mindfulness.

“The research and the evidence says that if we pay attention to the social and emotional learning that comes with mindfulness, that’s how you build capac-ity,” for coping, she added.

Weston said there were two things that make an impression on him about Mind the Gap. One is the emphasis on health pro-motion as opposed to sub-

4

MP meets “Mind the Gap” founder

stance abuse, he noted, “The other is that you

emphasize collaboration, so it’s between students and parents and school board, and collaboration between different levels of government,” the Coast’s MP said.

Leech concurred that, “When you have a collab-orative approach, and we look at what the province is doing around mental health and addictions, we see how we fit, and can work with them.”

She notes the ministry of education is changing to three core competen-cies which are: critical thinking, communication and social and emotional awareness. “So we’re fit-ting in with what’s already there,” Leech noted.

She said the program will not just be for stu-dents deemed to be “at risk” or “in risk,” but will be applied to all Grade seven to 12 students at the school starting this fall.

The project activities will run until June 2016, and serve 300 SD 46 students at Roberts Creek Commu-nity School. Some of the project activities include stress reduction training for teachers and families, and a teen residential retreat.

“Young people go in and out of at-risk situations their whole lives,” Leech noted, where there are dis-

ruptions such as moving, divorce or death in the family, all young people need skills to cope.

Weston said he was proud to offer support for health issues at the federal level, citing his work with local groups, students and police in getting a bill passed around regulating crystal methamphetamine.

“And I work very closely with the minister who funded this (MTG) initia-tive, Rona Ambrose, and on national health and fitness programs,” the MP said.

Leech agreed fitness for students is important for helping equip them with good habits and coping skills, which through sports and outdoors training the theme can be widely applied.

“We use sports as an ex-ample, where if you’re go-ing into a big game ... what do you need to do? You need to get centred and you need to breath,” Leech explained, “and those are the same things you need to do when you’re going into an at-risk situation.”

The MTG program will also be available to first-year students at Capilano University in Sechelt for 2015. The entire three-year program is being spon-sored by Health Canada with a grant of $323,000. Info: [email protected] or 604-885-3481.Apryl Veld

From the Town of Gibsons press release, July 10, 2014

AQUIFER WATER: Emergency Chlorination was installed at Well #1 (Winn Road and Gower Point) last week allowing us to switch properties in Zone 1 back to Aquifer water. We have now completed the in-stallation of emergency chlo-rination equipment at Well 3 (in Dougall Park). As of 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 10, 2014 Zone 2 was off SCRD water and back on aquifer water, which is currently being chlorinated. You may experience fluctuations in chlorine levels in your water

as we calibrate the chlorina-tion equipment; please bear with us and thank you.

STAGE 3 RESTRIC-TIONS: Although we have moved all properties in Zone 1 and 2 back on to Aquifer Water we are only using two of the Town’s three production wells. Well 4 remains offline until Vancouver Coastal Health has determined how much longer Zone 1 and 2 water need to be chlorinated. For this reason it is very impor-tant that we follow Stage 3 Water Restrictions to ensure we can meet the demand for drinking water. We re-

ally appreciate your patience and cooperation with this.

RESERVOIR INSPEC-TION: Inspection on the Parkland Reservoir has been completed with no obvi-ous signs of the source of the contamination found. Minor improvements have been made and disinfec-tion was finished on Thurs-day, July 10, in preparation for refilling. We anticipate the reservoir will be filled by Saturday or Sunday at which point final bacteria testing will be conducted. Subject to satisfactory test results the reservoir will be brought back into service.

Water system, reservoir and aquifer update Through a stellar ef-

fort from community and local government, the Davis Bay Wharf will re-open on Thursday July 17, at 3:30. The public along with donors and dignitaries are invited to celebrate the Sechelt area landmark’s offi-cial reopening on the Wharf with music, refreshments and speakers. Shuttle buses will be leaving from Sechelt recreation centre/municipal offices at Cowrie Street and Ocean Ave., and returning there after the festivities.

Originally built by the Government of Canada in 1922-23, the Wharf has been a great attraction and asset for Sunshine Coast resi-dents and tourists for nearly a century.

A great place to view and photograph the coastline, the pier reaches over water deep enough for swimming, fishing and crabbing, and is a super destination when you’re strolling the seawall in Davis Bay.

District of Sechelt an-nounced funding for the project in January 21 of this year, toward a bud-get of $600,000 for the project, and within a few months, construction got started on replacing the ageing structure.

Davis Bay wharf to reopen July 17

Davis Bay Wharf will re-open on Thursday July 17, at 2:30. Everyone is welcome to celebrate the Sechelt area land-mark’s official reopening on the Wharf with music, refresh-ments and speakers.

Funding is being provided by a variety of sources includ-ing $100,000 from the Dis-trict of Sechelt’s 2013/2014 budget with contributions from the Sunshine Coast Community Forest Legacy Fund, and a $150,000 grant from the Island Coastal Eco-nomic Trust.

“And of course there was community fund raising by the Davis Bay Wharf Rats,” Connie Jordison of District offices said, “This was both corporate donations and purchase of planks by both individuals and groups.”

Local community asso-ciations banded together as well, to find ways to help fi-nance the project.

The Wharf Rats are a

group comprised of the Davis Bay – Wilson Creek – Selma Park Commu-nity Association, Davis Bay Parkway Society and the District of Sechelt, who committed to raising $50,000, no small task. The remaining $300,000 still needs to be raised by the Wharf Restoration Major Gifts Appeal, which is ask-ing area residents, groups and businesses to consider making donations.

“All gifts over $5,000 will be recognized with their name on a commemorative plaque which will be perma-nently erected in the entrance area to The Wharf,” the resto-ration website explains.Apryl Veld

Volunteers make vibrant communities

Our communities, and their capacity to generate relief or good times, is most often thanks to volunteers who

dare to get involved in local projects and events, and who pitch in hours of planning, elbow grease and know-how to worthwhile events, services and projects.

Without volunteers we would not have nearly the quality of life here that we enjoy, and we could kiss goodbye to our festivals, land and sea races, and other activities that keep our Sunshine Coast communities vibrant.

Locally one can choose from a number of causes and groups that need our helping hands, brains and enthusiasm.

One such organization is the food bank. A Coast Food Bank worker said there are 25 regular volunteers doing vari-ous essential tasks for their cause, and who donate anywhere from one to five hours a week.

“We couldn’t operate without volunteers,” Food Bank coordinator, Dale Sankie said, “They are here seven days a week ensuring that food donations are picked up, sorted and distributed.”

One of these helpers has had a long-time affinity for help-ing non-profit groups.

“I was a volunteer fire-fighter for twenty years,” Lynn Morgan explained, “so volunteering is part of what I like to do as part of giving back to the community.”

Newly replanted on the Sunshine Coast in 2012, she gives four hours a week to the food bank and another six hours of service per week to the Community Treasures thrift store in Gibsons.

“I have met some wonderful people, and it certainly en-riches ones life,” Morgan noted. She added that the food bank and thrift store can always use more helpers.

The Sunshine Coast Community Services Society runs an important hub for matching volunteers with groups that need volunteers, notes SC Volunteer Centre Manager, Naomi Fleschhut.

“We provide a service to community groups in helping them advertise for and recruit volunteers,” she noted.

One place you can visit them is at the Seaside Centre building (shared with the visitor centre) from 10-4 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Fleschhut said to watch for workshops sponsored by the Centre, including one this fall on how technology can help bring volunteers and organizations together.

And we are more the richer; especially when we get in-volved, when we make connections by getting out in our communities, and “pay it forward” to reap the collective rewards. The SCCSS volunteer website is www.scvolunteer.com and info on volunteering at the food bank is available by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at 605-885-5881.Apryl Veld, Editor

We are proud of the rec-ognition we have received from the BCYCNA. We look forward to serving the community for years to come. Susan Attiana, Publisher

Great events and the people who make it happen

Another set of beautiful summer days on the Sun-shine Coast and more local events to go with them. Last weekend was the Sandcastle competition in Davis Bay organized by the Wharf Rats, as well as the Half-moon Bay Fair at Coopers

Green. It’s amazing that ev-ery year they can pack that many people and volunteers at Coopers Green, and there is so much for everyone to do. My children had a blast at both events so I would be remiss if I didn’t recog-nize some of the volunteers: Aldo, Susan, Maggie and others running around the beach at Davis Bay (great lines Aldo!) and the Half-moon Bay Fair with their usual large complement of firefighters raising fire fight-ing money with great food! And all the community folk lending a hand (you kept it good and cold Paul and Otto). Without these many volunteers, events such as these, Canada Day, and the Duck Pluck, and many more to come wouldn’t hap-pen. Bravo everyone, take a bow, my family certainly appreciates your hard work.Darren Inkster, Sechelt

Mayor’s Message

John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt

While Sechelt is a great place to live or visit at

any time of the year, there’s no doubt that the summer is especially spectacular. With the flowers in bloom and the bright blue skies, Sechelt is a fun place to enjoy a wide variety of activities.

For example, I encourage everyone to visit the Davis Bay Wharf this summer to see the many improvements that have been made recent-ly. (And, if you’re reading this early enough, join us at 3:30 on July 17 for the of-ficial re-opening!)

Something people often forget is the spectacular Sechelt Inlet – an amazing waterway with opportuni-ties to enjoy sailing, fishing, kayaking and swimming.

Great things to do in SecheltDowntown, on Saturdays,

the Sechelt Farmers and Ar-tisans Market runs from 9 am to 2:30pm, in the 5800 block of Cowrie Street. Sech-elt has added to the fun of the market with a Summer Music Series on the lawn of District Office (adjacent to the Market location). The series features performances by local and visiting artists at 12:30pm and 7pm. Bring your lawn chairs or beach blankets and enjoy!

You are also in the com-mercial core of our com-munity with a wide variety of retailers, restaurants, and tourism services to enjoy. Need help finding some-thing? Head to the Sechelt Visitors Information Cen-tre, which is located in the Seaside Centre (5790 Te-redo Street) just across the parking lot for the Summer Music Series venue!

Up for a game of golf? The Sechelt Golf & Coun-try Club have made signifi-

cant upgrades to the golf course – it’s never looked better! The restaurant is open and the views remain breathtaking.

August brings two big events that Sechelt has become famous for. The Coasters Car Club 19th An-nual Sleep Hollow Run and Show ‘n’ Shine are on Au-gust 8 and 9. And the world famous 32nd Annual Sun-shine Coast Festival of the Written Arts follows from August 14 to 17.

From arts and culture, to sports and tourist activities, you will find it all in Sechelt this summer!

Also, a big thanks to Jo-hanna and Aldo Tacchi and their team of volunteers for stepping up to organize last weekend’s sandcastle compe-tition. It was the biggest and most successful event, by far – with well over 1,000 peo-ple attending and admiring the work of almost 40 teams of sandcastle creators!

RCM SAR keep boaters safe

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Coxswain Russ Ayers-Berry of the RCM-SAR Gibsons station conducts on-wa-ter training in Howe Sound. Ayers-Berry is one of about 1,000 RCM-SAR search and rescue volunteers in British Columbia who rely on public donations to stay equipped and trained. PHoto SuBMitted

certain week days, whatever works for their lifestyle, but they spend a lot of time on call – they’re very dedicated.”

And they can’t go to search for or rescue people in emer-gency situations without sturdy rescue equipment and vessels. And for that they re-quire some help from a few different sources.

“We rely on public sup-port in communities like the Sunshine Coast, we also are supported by the provincial government’s gaming grants, which largely goes to the pur-chase of vessels and equip-ment,” RCM SAR’s spokes-person explained, “and we get some funding from the Canadian Coast Guard for training and missions.”

He added they are actively fund raising for their new regional training centre in Victoria – this will be where all their volunteers will come

to train in their vessel simula-tor. They will also do first aid, leadership, communications and a whole range of courses.

“Because we really empha-size training, because it really adds to the safety for our vol-unteers,” Duffus noted, “and it also ensures that we pro-vide an excellent service out on the water.”

Since January 2014, sta-tions across the province have been called out on 392 mis-sions and assisted 227 people on the water. As always, the Sunshine Coast stations have been busy. Since Janu-ary 1 those stations have re-sponded to 38 missions and assisted 15 people.

If you want to reach RCM SAR to donate, volunteer, or to get info about your local station or RCM SAR in gen-eral, just visit their website at www.rcmsar.comApryl Veld

A major help and resource for our boating residents

and visitors is the Sunshine Coast division of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue or RCM-SAR.

You may see them at local docks and marinas or out on the waves doing SAR preven-tion, as they perform courte-sy pleasure craft checks and on the water safety checks.

Perhaps you’ve seen them in the Sechelt Canada Pa-rade or at the Halfmoon Bay Country Fair as they came to promote water safety for kids with “Bobby” their safety mascot, who ro-botically “floats” about and sprays water.

And most of their crews still hold down day jobs while giving communities and boaters a lifeline.

“We’re an all volunteer or-ganization,” notes communi-cations director, Rob Duffus, “with over 1000 volunteers up and down the Coast and in the Interior as well.”

Duffus explained they have 42 stations up and down the B.C. Coast in-cluding stations in Gibsons, Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour, with crews who engage in search and rescue on emergency calls.

“We actually handle about a third of all the search and rescue calls in B.C. - that’s about 800 mis-sions a year, so we’re very ac-tive,” the communications director emphasized.

“All the stations are on call 24/7, 365 days a year,” Duf-fus explains, “the crews are on rotations, be it weekends or

The Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhance-

ment Society held the of-ficial opening of its micro turbine power project on Saturday, July 5.

The project uses three small hydro-electric tur-bines to generate up to 30,000 Kilowatt hours per year of electricity that will be fed back into the BC Hydro Grid.

This reduces the cost of operating for the Hatch-ery, reduces its carbon footprint, and makes it a greener facility.

The turbines are operated by water already flowing

through the Hatchery. The project was designed to be a demonstration project and a field research site for those interested in similar projects for other small hatcheries or other facilities.

The project was funded by the National Research Council’s IRAP program, by the Pacific Salmon Foundation, Vancity, the Sunshine Coast Com-munity Foundation, by contributions from local businesses and contrac-tors including Gen-Zed Contracting, the lead con-tractor on the project, and Olson Electric, which was

responsible for the electri-cal aspects of the project, and an individual donation from coast resident and long-time hatchery volun-teer Harold Foster.

The project was con-ceived by Don Petry, who worked with the engineer-ing firm Carnotech Energy of Vancouver, to come up with the original design.

...on your retirement of 22 years of service at Lehigh.

Warren Paull started with Lehigh Sechelt Operations in Aug 1991. He performed mechanical work throughout the mine site and took the initiative to learn the operations of all plants. Warren was the first employee who was a certified mo-bile equipment operator. He ran an excavator for a number of years and after he mastered this realm he then decided to take on the challenging position of Production Foreman. Warren was involved in Mine Rescue, Safety committee and numerous other groups among the Sechelt Or-ganization. Thank you for your many years of service Warren.

Harry started with Sechelt Operations in March 1992 and was a key employee with the mechanical department. Harry then transferred into the Production department and utilized his skills as a mobile equipment operator. After mastering the mobile equipment field he moved on to operating the Primary plant which is the heart of all production plants. Harry was also tasked with being a Sech-elt Mobile trainer and grooming up-and-coming new employees to feed off his vast knowledge of all mobile equipment. We would like to thank Harry for his many years of service and hope he manages to catch a few fish with his new gear he received as a retirement gift from the Sechelt crew!

It is always exciting to hear people’s stories of their con-

nection to Capilano as a place of learning, personal growth, and community gather-ing. Especially when those people are locals, from right here on the Sunshine Coast. From those who attended classes many years ago when the College was just a group of portables in North Van-couver, to those who have benefitted from its programs closer to home at our campus here on the Sunshine Coast, over the decades the Univer-sity has nourished dreams and supported learning for many Coast residents who now proudly call themselves Capilano University alumni.

In 2008, when what was once Capilano College, tran-sitioned to what is now Cap-ilano University, the role of alumni in the culture and development of the school became ever more important. This shift prompted the initia-tion of the Capilano Universi-ty Alumni Association Board, responsible for connecting with alumni and helping cre-ate pathways for them to en-rich the Capilano experience.

The Alumni Association is honoured to support and celebrate our students and community with the annual Community Recognition Event. The event provides an opportunity for all of us to be inspired by our student award recipients and our re-markable community of vol-unteers, alumni, faculty, staff and community partners.

For Capilano alumni on the Coast seeking to be more involved in what happens at our local campus, creating an alumni chapter is a great way to remain engaged with the university and be a meaning-ful part of the conversations that affect the experience students have as they come through our doors. An alumni chapter can be formed with as a few as five people who are committed to being active as Capilano alumni. Chapters can be put together with a group of alumni from any discipline who reside on the Coast. Or, chapters can focus on a specific program of study such as Health Care Assistants or Mountain Bike graduates.

Would you be interested in starting an alumni chap-

ter? Sarah Ward was a Cap-ilano College student, whose relationship with the school began in 1995 and went on to span many years. Now the Coast campus’ First Nations Student Liaison at Capilano she has gone on to promote the interests and needs of our local campus by volunteering on the Alumni Board and working with the Alumni Association. If you are inter-ested in learning more about being involved in an alumni chapter on the Coast please contact Sarah. You can reach her at 604-741-3906 or sar [email protected].

If you are a Capilano alumni and you have not heard from us, we would like to have your contact infor-mation so we can keep you in the loop about alumni events and news. You can email Janis Connolly of the Alumni Relations Office at [email protected] or call 604-990-7968 with any questions and your most current contact information.

The works of 21 glass artists presently grace

Gibsons Public Art Gallery with an arresting display of organic forms. One of the Sunshine Coast Glass Art-ists whose work is on dis-play at GPAG until August 18 is Miyuki Shinkai.

The Gibsons glass blower told The Local Weekly she took glass blowing studies at Georgia Southwestern State University. She then went on to Pilchuck glass school in Stanwood, WA where she found some in-spiring influences among the school’s artists.

“It opened up my path to work for America’s youngest national treasure at the time, Dale Chihuly, the founder of Pilchuck.” Shinkai said.

She notes she was influ-enced by Chihuly’s vision and that of his immediate students who are now re-

nown glass artists. “Dale’s motivation was always to do with public education and monumental engagement with team effort through

glass art on an international scale,” the artist asserts.

She is clear about the reasons she chose to create with glass.

“Blown glass is very se-ductive medium, difficult to control, learn, but so beau-tiful and fluid medium,” Shinkai explains, and notes the “Vibrant Colours, its shininess, and spontaneous decision making on process; it’s a infectious medium.”

She would like to have a more full-time studio, in an economy that supports the operating costs of such work but she is keeping her craft alive with smaller projects, and teaches in community settings through children’s art classes.

“I just finished teaching at the Aquifer Art Camp at Deer Crossing the Art Farm,” the long-time mem-ber of the GPAG notes.

Shinkai agrees the cur-rent GPAG gallery location is large and beautiful venue with good accessibility.

“We started this glass show in the old basement space in 2007, 2009, as a biannual event,” Shinkai shares. She notes that this year’s show was requested by popular demand.

“Susan Furze put a sub-mission proposal together on behalf of the 21 glass art-ists,” she notes, and that it took, “a year and a half of her work to get ready and real-ize the group exhibit for this year.” The glass artist and her partner will be involved in the Art Crawl event for this year as well. “Our stu-dio is Mellon Glass Studio in Langdale. We have glass works by my husband, Wayne Harjula, mine, and studio production works,” she says, adding her family’s studio is open daily to the public, as are most of the studios of the 21 glass artists in the Sunshine Coast Glass Artists group.Apryl Veld

Summer is officially here. However, for those that

are prone to heat exhaustion or heatstroke, summer can have a whole other meaning.

Heat stroke can be serious and come on suddenly. It most frequently affects older people, young children and people who exercise in the heat. The skin becomes hot and red, perspiration maybe absent or profuse, the pulse fast and strong. There may also be confusion, stupor and even unconsciousness, as well as, headaches, nausea and in extreme cases convulsions. There is a failure for the body to regulate a normal tempera-ture and can reach very high (40C or higher).

If this is the case, the body must be cooled immediate-ly, by removing their cloth-ing and getting them to a cool place, immersing them in cool water or rubbing them with a cool wet cloth or ice and fanning them un-til their temperature comes

Natural heat stroke remediesdown. The first priority is to get their temperature down and take them to the nearest medical emergency facility while keeping them cool and their temperature down.

Heat exhaustion develops gradually when the body is exposed to hot weather and the person loses water and salt through excessive sweating. Tiredness, cold and clammy skin, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, paleness, headache, and muscle cramps occur and there may be a rapid pulse and breathing.

Have the person lie down in a cool, dark place and raise their feet. Apply a cool wet cloth to head and body and fan them. Also, give water with salt (1/2 tsp of salt to 1 litre of water) drinking fre-quently. If fainting or uncon-sciousness has occurred then treat for shock and ensure their temperature has not risen, seek medical attention immediately as well if symp-toms have not improved within an hour or are worse. In both cases of heatstroke and exhaustion, people will be abnormally sensitive to heat for sometime after-

wards, so avoid exposure.Homeopathic remedies

can be used in cases of acute heatstroke and exhaustion to help relieve immediate symptoms quickly and gen-tly until the person is able to get medical attention, especially if you are in re-mote area far from immedi-ate help, in the case of hik-ing and biking in the back country or out on a boat or kayak. Belladonna or Glonoine are two common homeopathic remedies that cover the symptoms of high temperature, throbbing headaches, red face and stupor. Veratrum Album or Cuprum Metallicum ho-meopathic remedies can be given for the symptoms of heat exhaustion. Cuprum is especially helpful for mus-cle cramps. These remedies can be given immediately and frequently, every 15 minutes, until symptoms are relieved.

For those individuals that have a chronic sensitivity to heat and sun or if they have become sensitive from over exposure to heat or sun, professional homeopathic treatment can help relieve this susceptibility.

Medical marihuana op-erations and applica-

tions for the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) are getting a zoning review.

Reports prepared recently for the District by senior planners, are the result of recent consultation between staff and the public. How-ever, officials said that more public input could better inform any changes.

Attendance was pretty low at recent area meet-ings, senior planner, Da-vid Rafael explained. Only three members of the public turned up at Roberts Creek and Elphinstone meetings, three at Hillside-West Howe Sound, and similar at Pend-er Harbour and Halfmoon Bay consultations.

“We had adopted two by-laws a little while ago to limit medical marihuana facilities to our rural zoning RU2 and RU3 which overlaps the Agricultural Land Reserve,” Rafael explained, “but you needed a parcel of 8 hectares or more to allow for that, and a 60 metre setback.”

The 8 hectare allowances were based on site coverage so one could have quite a substantial building under those original bylaws, the senior planner noted.

During the public com-ment process for those by-laws, residents expressed a desire for better zoning pos-sibilities for smaller medi-cal marihuana operations, Rafael says, “so that’s why we were consulting with the public on some proposals to allow for smaller develop-ments on smaller lots.”

The various Areas within the SCRD are coming up with slightly different ways in how they want to ap-proach it, which can compli-cate things as well, he added.

“Roberts Creek and El-phinstone areas are look-ing at allowing med-grow

operations on a number of smaller properties in zones where agriculture is present-ly allowed,” planner Rafael said. They would consider shrinking the minimum parcel requirement to 3500 square metres, (just under two hectares) where pro-ducers would be allowed to have a 200 square metre building for production and processing.

An April 10 staff report to the SCRD included, “Safety of the facility and the neigh-bourhood is not a real issue, there are many small scale facilities and there is no evidence of crime or neigh-bourhood problems.”

One area viewed as suit-able for medical marihuana production is Hillside indus-trial zone in Area F. Repre-sentatives from West Howe Sound have been working with the Regional District to harmonize their bylaws for agricultural production of medical marihuana on their industrial-zoned lands.

But some areas, including Area B, are likely to leave zoning unchanged.

“Halfmoon Bay has indi-cated they’re happy to leave the production in the larger parcels that are already al-lowed,” Rafael noted.

Applications for variances may help remedy some zon-ing conflicts, one SCRD report notes. Recent high court challenges to Health Canada changes that were to take effect April 1 of this year on regulating medi-cal marihuana production, have been suspended until the courts can hear argu-ments from patients who brought the challenge.

SCRD reports are avail-able on their website and comments or questions can be referred to senior plan-ner, [email protected] and 604-885-6804 ext 4. Apryl Veld

A request was heard from the Canadian Can-

cer Society and Vancouver Coastal Health on June 4, at the District of Sechelt regular council meeting, for a more stringent bylaw in Sechelt relating to smok-ing in public places. Such venues of concern include parks, trails, beaches, and includes properties where the public can gather, like stores, restaurants, theatres, etc. Smoking is already re-stricted by Provincial regu-lations in and around en-trances to public buildings. Council resolved to have staff look into what is being done in other communi-

ties and what the views of Sechelt residents are regard-ing further restrictions on smoking. As part of that review, July’s District Dia-logue question is “Do you support increasing restric-tions on smoking in public places in Sechelt?”

Sechelt municipality asked for your opinion to, “help Council make a decision that is right for the community.”

Nutritious and easy ancient grain

Quinoa is a good source of protein, is low fat,

full of fiber and very filling. Quinoa may cost more than rice, but it is a bit of a pow-

Middle-Age Vegan

Deb Calderon CuisineConsultant

erhouse when it comes to healthy food. Quinoa comes originally from the Inca peo-ple of South America who referred to it as the “mother seed,” and considered it to be sacred. They grew qui-noa in South America in the high altitude of the Andes. It was also their staple food for 5,000 years.

One important caveat is

that you have to rinse the quinoa thoroughly before you use it to remove to re-move a nasty tasting cover-ing on it called saponin. I cook a batch of quinoa at least once a week, as it is so versatile. It is great in a casserole or soup, you can put it into stuffed pep-pers or even make cookies and cakes with it. I find,

though, that it is outstand-ing in a summer salad.

The following recipe comes from one of my fa-vourite vegan recipe sites ohsheglows.com

Everything I have ever made from this site has been tasty. This would be a wonderful dish to bring to a summer barbeque or pot-luck party.

Makes 6.5 cups (or serves 4)

For the salad:1 cup uncooked quinoa (or 3 cups cooked)1 (15-ounce) can black beans (or 1.5 cups cooked), drained and rinsed1.5 cups cilantro, finely chopped3 small/medium carrots, julienned (about 1.5 cups) OR 1 large chopped and roasted sweet potato4 green onions, choppedfine grain sea salt & black pepper, to taste

For the dressing:3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 large clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)1 teaspoon ground cumin1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

What is a perfect summer food, ready in 15 minutes and full of nutrition? Quinoa.

1. To prepare the quinoa: Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve. Add into pot along with 1.5 cups water or veg-gie broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low-medi-um, and then cover with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 15-17 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and steam with the lid on for 5 additional minutes. Fluff with fork and chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, toss the quinoa, drained and rinsed black beans, cilantro, carrots (or roasted sweet potato), and green onions.

Cumin Lime Black Bean Quinoa Salad

3. Whisk together the dressing in a small bowl or jar. Pour onto salad and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I prefer to enjoy this salad chilled, so I usually throw it into the fridge for at least an hour. This is a

great make-ahead salad too – prep it the night before and let it sit in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Horoscope

MichaelO’Connor Astrologer

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)You are in a crafty mood.

Your focus is aimed at home and family and you want to create something new. The change you seek in the home environment, atmo-sphere and attitude includes more fun. This shift could at first produce more drama as you challenge the status quo. But if you take a playful approach to coax others to entertain your ideas you just might succeed.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Sometimes we have to pass through a series of gates and hoops to achieve our goals. Some of them may even be outright initiations. Either way, the first of these have begun. Now you find yourself challenged to per-severe. There is no turning back. So show your resolve, draw more deeply on your talents and resources follow through.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Deepening your overall sense of security continues. This is leading you to pay closer attention to the details. Expect the pace to accelerate. New rounds of negotiation are featured. Diplomatic dia-logue and debate will ensue. A distinct turn in what you deem valuable and impor-tant is implied. Get ready to cover a lot of ground.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)You are in the mood to

try something new. Clearing the way and making space at home may be required to ac-commodate your plans. Due to a cycle of rapidly changing moods, you may also want to think twice and cut once. Your imagination will be soaring though so you could really strike gold, figuratively and literally.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)The pace will quicken

noticeably this week. In fact it could prove to be a very expansive, uplifting and op-portune time. Better yet, it will be the launch of a cycle that will last about a year. The main caution is that this expansion is not of your waistline or ego. Positively, this is a go ahead time when you could win big.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Some cycles are more

abundant than others, like this one. It is not necessarily monetary wealth, though it could be, but abundance can be measured in many ways. Still, you have to be in-tune and cooperate with the pro-cess. This begins with grati-tude. Beyond that, joyfully

Check the stars – Horoscope for the week and confidently increasing your network and exposure is a golden key.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Some promising seeds of

growth have been planted in your public and/or pro-fessional life. By now these should at least be producing noticeable sprouts. Acquir-ing new knowledge, skills and tools is probable. This is also an assertive time and involves pioneering initia-tives. These should bring measurable returns and a stimulated social life over the coming months.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A lingering philosophi-cal mood has inspired you to see a bigger picture. At best you feel a deepened sense of unity with others. This may be specifically true with your most significant other. This trend will con-tinue, especially in the form of creative thoughts, ideas,

visions and plans. Tune into this opportune cycle over the coming weeks.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Tapping into your un-limited supply continues. This can include prosperity, confidence, inspiration, love and more. Yet, you must do your part to make room for it. This includes clearing the clutter. It may be clearing stuff from your living space, but it could include your habits, lifestyle and limiting thoughts, attitudes and self-concepts.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Some promising activa-tions in your relationship life have begun. This likely includes family connec-tions. Yet it will be up to you to take the lead to see these developments through. Key communications and clear intentions are implied. Make plans, set dates and establish correspondence. You will be

glad you took the initiative.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Your world is beginning to open-up, wide. This should already be evident and be especially so over the coming few weeks. In the short-term, focus to ‘fertilize’ the ground of your aspirations. As well, be willing to plough through opposition such as apathy, self-doubt, limiting attitudes and perspectives and any negativity coming from oth-ers. In short, go for it!Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)The next phase of a cre-

ative cycle is getting un-derway. Yet, it is also when you will have to get more seriously to work. The next twelve months or so could prove very productive and even find you advancing to the next level, or two or three. Yet you must put any doubt, fear, procrastination and lack of discipline aside. Begin it now.
