Transit bus service from the Langdale ferry terminal to Sechelt could start run-ning every half hour at peak times—whether or not the ferry is running on sched-ule—if a provincial govern-ment proposal offered to the Sunshine Coast Regional Dis-
trict gets final approval.The SCRD’s Infrastructure
Committee voted on April 7 in favour of a three-year plan presented by BC Transit that would see the expanded ser-vice start in September 2017, with six buses added to the local system.
30-minute bus service proposedThe more frequent ser-
vice, “enables us to move away from being tied to the ferry schedule,” BC Transit’s Rebecca Newlove told the committee. “If there is a ferry delay and you’ve just missed a bus connection, instead of waiting for an entire an hour
Bus fares on the Sunshine Coast are changing in a cou-ple of weeks – going up or down depending on who you are.
As of May 1, all cash fares will be $2. That’s a drop from $2.25 for adults, and an increase from $1.75 in the discount fare for seniors and youth.
The changes – the first in six years – were approved by the Sunshine Coast Regional District in December, 2015.
They are designed to be revenue neutral, but it’s hoped the fare simplicity will encourage transit use, which has been gradually declining over the past four years.
Gordon Dykstra, SCRD transit manager, said the single fare makes it easier for people to make a value calculation about whether they should buy a day pass or tickets, which encourages people to make a longer com-mitment to transit use.
Adult day passes will cost, as of May 1, $5, down 50 cents for adults and up $1 for discount riders. A book of 10 tickets will cost $18, down from $20 for adults and up from the current discount price of $15. A monthly pass for discount riders will be up $4 to $42, while an adult monthly pass will be un-changed at $60. Staff

The Kerr’s bridge was about 10 times stronger than most entries, as it finally snapped at just over 2,570 newtons, the pressure equivalent of 578 pounds. The event is organized by the B.C.

you just have to wait for 30 minutes.”
The expanded schedule would operate between 6 am and 9 am and about 3 pm to 6 pm. Service currently runs about every hour throughout most of the day.
The plan also would see Monday through Saturday bus service to Halfmoon Bay double in 2018 to hourly from the current frequency of about every two hours.
The service increase will not be made final until the next provincial budget is ap-proved early in 2017. Deliv-ery of the extra buses would follow in September.

Editorial Opinion
Letters to the Editor – Opinions
Can I get a witnessIt may concern a number of Canadians that on Canada Day,
2014, the Harper government enacted into law one of the most egregious assaults on Canadian sovereignty since the War of 1812. Most of you haven't heard of the U.S. govern-ment's law called the "Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act" (FATCA). The law requires that these Canadians - who may have been living in Canada for decades, be subjected to extra scrutiny by Canadian banks, have their private Canadian bank account information sent to the Canadian Revenue Agency, and in turn sent to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to enforce arcane U.S. tax law that until now was never enforced.
As it stands, anyone opening an account in Canada will be required to certify that they are not a U.S. person. The IRS now decides which Canadians are allowed to open bank accounts in Canada, and under what conditions. The Harper govern-ment said that being threatened with economic sanctions as if it were a tax haven put it in the position of having "no choice" but to sign the deal, even though Canada gets nothing it didn't already have without it (the "agreement" is not reciprocal).
Prior to the last federal election, candidate Trudeau criti-cized the Harper government by saying, "The Government of Canada has a responsibility to stand up for its citizens when foreign governments are encroaching on their rights. We be-lieve that the deal reached between Canada and the U.S. is in-sufficient to protect affected Canadians.”
But that was before the election. By all indications, the Trudeau government intends the FATCA Inter Governmental Agreement (IGA) remain law in Canada.
Thankfully, a small group of dedicated Canadians has brought the matter before Canadian courts in an attempt to stop the FATCA IGA before more information is transmitted this September. The lawsuit is fully funded, and being litigated by Canada's best defender of our Canadian Charter, Joseph Ar-vay. What it needs are more witnesses - those who are willing to come forward and speak of the harm that the Canadian gov-ernment has and will expose them to by having entered into the FATCA IGA.
It's easy to understand why one might want to keep a low profile under these circumstances and avoid offering one self as a witness as I have, but the success of the lawsuit is contin-gent on it. Should you be interested, please contact the Alliance for the Defence of Canadian Sovereignty at www.adcs-adsc.ca.

Stop buildingI am following with great
interest the letters about our water “shortage”.
I have a suggestion for our mayor and council. Stop giv-ing out so many building per-mits until the infrastructure is fixed—water first, then sewer system and maybe highway improvements? Let the build-ers combine and demand that the SCRD fix the water supply; maybe their strength could motivate the people in charge.
E.E. Wall, Sechelt
Leaks everywhereIn support of why we need
to continue installing water meters throughout the SCRD water district, I would like to share a recent experience.
In June 2014, I was con-tacted a friend to examine the hissing sound of water under his rented home in lower Davis Bay. Upon examina-tion, I discovered a number of problems. Due to a faulty pressure reducer valve, the water pressure was very high at 155 PSI (it should be about 50 PSI) causing the water leak to be clearly audible. A pressure-drop test confirmed the leak, which was located in an inaccessible area under the floor of an un-permitted bathroom addition.
I contacted the landlord and explained the problem, but she chose not to fix the leak at that time, but rather just replace the pressure re-ducer valve. The corrected pressure caused the leak to be almost inaudible. Problem solved? Well, not quite.
In March 2016, the rental home was placed on the mar-ket and sold in a few days, but the landlord chose not to dis-close the ongoing leak. When this problem was brought to the attention of the pending buyer, the leak was reluctant-ly repaired by the landlord. Rats had chewed a hole in the PEX piping. Tests on the repaired water line revealed that the pipe had been leaking
at a rate of nearly one liter per minute. Thus, since discov-ery two years ago, that leak wasted over 250,000 gallons of water.
How many more ignored or undiscovered leaks exist in our homes due to leaky toilets, dripping taps, broken and deteriorating pipes, par-ticularly in older homes with outdated construction ma-terials and methods? Water meters allow us to discover and repair these leaks. Let’s find ‘em, summer’s coming.
Chuck Payne, Davis Bay
Slow downThe heated Vancouver mar-
ket certainly appears to have spread to the Sunshine Coast over recent months. It isn't infrequent to hear of houses selling over list price in record time. In an effort to be com-petitive, many purchase offers are being presented with-out important due diligence conditions such as financing, home inspections, etc. Others are being presented with time frames that are so tight that it is virtually impossible to meet the conditions without sacrificing attention to detail. Some Sellers are refusing to grant time extensions to allow Purchasers or service provid-ers to thoroughly research important aspects of the property or financing. Often, through no fault of their own, Purchasers are losing out on opportunities to purchase their dream homes.
We cannot control when a market becomes heated, but there are certain things that we can control: As Sellers, we can insist on allowing pro-spective Purchasers reason-able amounts of time to ob-tain their financing, conduct home inspections, pest in-spections, appraisals, gather home insurance quotes, etc.
By rushing or missing out on these important "due diligence" pieces of the home purchase process, we are risking future disappoint-
ments and potential law suits as things come to light after completion that should have been discovered during the conditional offer period. By not allowing Purchasers suf-ficient time to fully explore the prospective property or financing options, we are also not allowing service provid-ers (Realtors, Mortgage Bro-kers, Lenders, Home Inspec-tors, Lawyers & Notaries) to provide their best services.
In an ideal world, service providers would be given MORE time to fulfill their ser-vices during a busy market, not LESS. After all, we are talking about homes, not cars or the latest electronic devic-es. No one should be forced into rushing the purchase of their future home.

Excellent ferryI have been a resident of
the Coast for over two years. I take the ferry with my car at least once every ten days, and I, along with many guests from overseas, are continu-ally amazed at the efficiency with which BC Ferries turns around several hundred cars in a matter of minutes.
Compared to services in other parts of the world (Try taking the ferry from Bequia to St. Vincent along with the goats and various other car-go, if they haven’t decided to paint the ferry that day), the service is efficient and reason-ably priced. It is unreasonable to compare a vehicular ferry with planes and buses that do not have the loading issues (breakdowns and the like) that a vehicular ferry has to contend with.
While constructive criti-cism is, I’m sure, always wel-come, continual whinging about poor service is not. Rather than complain about poor service, I would like to commend the hard-working operators who do an excellent job of keeping the ferries run-ning day in and day out in try-
ing circumstances.Richard Mitchell, Sechelt
Sweep broom awayThe advanced Spring sea-
son is bringing out the Scotch broom early this year, par-ticularly noticeable along “the Great Wall of Sechelt” at the Trail Bay Estates and Silver-stone properties.
It seems odd that folks would pay good money for view lots and expensive new homes and put up with the blight of Scotch broom down front. Perhaps they don’t re-alize that broom is on the invasive species list because it crowds out native species along with the birds and ben-eficial insects that depend on them.
Perhaps the folks living above “the Great Wall” could encourage the developer to bust the broom or even get out there and do it them-selves like the residents along Redrooffs Road in Halfmoon Bay and along Beach Avenue in Roberts Creek have done. Those streets have become broom-free thanks to volun-teer efforts and community spirit. Good on them.

It could cost nearly $23 million for an expansion of the new Sechelt Water Re-source Centre, which will be needed if population growth estimates over the next few years are correct, Sechelt Council has been told.
The shocking figure was contained in a report pre-sented to the April 6 Council meeting by engineer Jer-emy Clowes, of the Victoria consultants Urban Systems. The firm conducted the fu-ture capacity study on the $25-million state-of-the-art sewage plant, already mired in controversy over its cost, location, and the decision process that led to its con-struction.
Clowes said the cost esti-mates included a $240,000 upgrade to the ultra-filtra-tion membrane at the Wa-ter Resource Centre (WRC), a $3.3-million upgrade to the outflow pipe from the plant into Trail Bay, and a $19.4-million expansion of the existing facility, for a total of $22,940,000.
Clowes noted that the out-flow pipe’s increased capac-ity would not be needed if the output from the WRC was re-cycled, which would reduce the overall cost by more than $3 million.
“If you’re reusing the ef-fluent water, it could defer or eliminate the need for this upgrade altogether,” he said.
The report prompted questions from councillors about the methods used to estimate the population in-crease. Clowes said the data came from District staff, but acknowledged that an in-crease of 14,000 people by 2035 was “based on a very ambitious growth plan.”
The estimates also take into account the number of homes in existing neighbour-hoods, such as Selma Park and East Porpoise Bay, which are due to be connected to the District sewage system.
Clowes said that an in-crease of as few as 2,250 new hookups to the system would necessitate the WRC upgrade which, would have to be built
New sewage plant may need expansionand operational by 2021.
Clowes said there was suf-ficient space on the north end of the existing WRC lot to expand the plant, but Mayor Bruce Milne said later in the meeting that such a plan would be unworkable.
“I can tell you from where I sit, politically speaking, ex-panding that plant on the current lot isn’t going to hap-pen. There is no community support,” Milne said.
Milne, who called the Urban Systems report “a bombshell in terms of plan-ning,” said expansion of the District’s sewage manage-ment capacity could possibly involve smaller sewage treat-ment installations.
“The technology we have today, I think, behooves us to think of satellite plants. I ex-pect Davis Bay, Wilson Creek will be served by a small plant, probably very simi-lar to what we need in East Porpoise Bay,” said Milne. “In order to figure that out, we need a liquid waste manage-ment plan.” Rik Jespersen

The massive residential and commercial develop-ment known as SSC Proper-ties will not be connected to Sechelt’s sewer system, the District’s Council has de-cided.
Debate was held on the is-sue at the same April 6 meet-ing that council heard an en-gineering consultant’s report on the new Water Resource Centre’s anticipated need for a multi-million-dollar expan-sion, a finding that Mayor Bruce Milne called “a bomb-shell, in terms of planning.”
SSC is a 162-hectare (400-acre) East Porpoise Bay proj-ect that envisions as many as 1,300 residential units in a mountain-side setting that would include commercial, retail and waterfront recre-ational activities.
District staff recommend-ed that councillors consider including the development in the District’s Urban Contain-ment Boundary (UCB), which would have enabled it to hook up to the sewer system.
Councillor Darnelda Sieg-ers said that, according to the District’s Official Community Plan and Liquid Waste Man-agement Plan, the SSC prop-erties should be allowed to connect to the system.
But Councillors Mike Shanks and Alice Lutes ar-gued that other areas in the District, such as Selma Park and Davis Bay, still had not been connected despite as-surances dating back to 1986, and would have to be first in line.
Mayor Bruce Milne said that the growing uncertainty
Development denied sewer accessabout the number of resi-dences that should be send-ing waste to the new treat-ment plant, council should proceed with caution.
“I don’t think we should be giving the chance of loading additional capacity onto it,” Milne said.
Both Milne and Councillor Darren Inkster added that, given the high standards set by the WRC, and SSC’s pledge of sustainability, any local sewage treatment provided by the development would not pose an environmental threat to Porpoise Bay.
Council voted of 5-1 to turn down the staff recommenda-tion to expand the UCB, with Siegers casting the dissenting vote.

The Sunshine Coast Re-gional District has denied a request by Pacific Ferries to add an extra stop at the Hopkins Landing dock, as the fledgling passenger ser-vice continues to fine tune its schedule.
The SCRD Infrastructure Committee cited inappropri-ate zoning, a lack of park-ing and concerns about fre-quently choppy water in the dock area in voting down Pa-cific Ferries’ request to start a stop-and-go service at Hop-kins Landing.
A similar request to use the Langdale dock as a stop on the company’s Gibsons-to-Horseshoe Bay route has been forwarded to BC Ferries, which has not yet responded, SCRD staff said in a report to
the committee.Linda Feuerhelm, of Pacific
Ferries, who did not attend the committee meeting April 7, said she had anticipated the SCRD decision, and that the company now is focusing on matching its schedule to the needs of the market, includ-ing a possible morning trip to Coal Harbour in Vancouver.
“Passengers keeping ask-ing, ‘When are going to go downtown?” Feuerhelm told the Local. “So we’re looking at possibly trying that starting April 18.”
The 46-passenger Coastal Clipper currently runs from Gibsons to Horseshoe Bay at 6:30 am and 7:45 am. But Feuerhelm said the company is considering changing the 7:45 am destination to Coal
Passenger ferry dock-stop deniedHarbour, possibly returning from there at about 4 pm.
The company also runs return trips from Horseshoe Bay to Gibsons at 7:10 am and 5:15 pm.
“Any changes to the sched-ule will be announced on our website,” Feuerhelm said.

AJB Investments (Sure-span, North Vancouver) is seeking an injunction to re-move the two-month-old roadblock preventing falling crews entering the Chapman Creek drinking Watershed. Elphinstone Logging Focus
(ELF), Hans Penner, Ross Muirhead, Jane Doe, John Doe, and persons unknown, have been named, and the court date is set for April 19 in the Supreme Court of Brit-ish Columbia, Vancouver.
ELF, through the support
Watershed roadblock headed for courtof the Watershed Defence Fund, has hired two lawyers to build a case against grant-ing the injunction. Before the roadblock was erected, fallers logged approximately 1,500 cubic meters of timber in the Cutblock DR7. AJB owns up to
More than 140 job-seekers took advantage of the Spring Hir-ing Fair at Gibsons Community Centre April 8. Some 29 em-ployers set up tables and information displays at the event, organized by the Open Door Group and WorkBC Employ-ment Services. RIK JESPERSEN PHOTO
160 Ha (400 acres) within the watershed boundaries that could be worth $7 million.
“ELF will argue that the best solution is for the two parties, Sunshine Coast Re-gional District (SCRD), and AJB Investments, to work out terms for a buy-out so that the public’s drinking water-shed can be protected from clear-cut logging and its asso-ciated harms to water quality and quantity,” says Ross Muir-head of ELF.
“There are many scientific reasons to secure intact for-ests in a drinking watershed, they act as filters, store water, and release water slowly dur-
ing drought conditions, thus creating a positive effect on water management objec-tives.
“Our lead counsel, Pat-rick Canning, will be asking the Judge not to issue the Injunction because irrepa-rable harm could result to the Chapman Creek Watershed, our water source. He will ex-plain to the court that ELF has offered a viable alternative. ELF has previously offered to withdraw their blockade and allow AJB to remove the timber they’ve already cut, if AJB promises not to resume logging for a period of six months while they negotiate
a sale of the property to the SCRD.” Muirhead states.
“It’s not our intent to have AJB suffer any losses” says Muirhed. “We just want to protect our water for the community. The fact is that if AJB and the SCRD had been able to agree on a price for the land already, this would not be happening. In our view an injunction is not the ap-propriate remedy for what is essentially a dispute over the price of a piece of prop-erty which will most likely be sold to the SCRD. This is land that’s essential to the public’s interest and health.”

On the evening of April 6, police received a report of a suspicious vehicle parked in the long-term parking lot at the Lang-dale ferry terminal. The newer vehicle, which did not require a key, had been left running, with its doors locked and lights on. Police attended and de-termined that it appeared as though the owner may have parked the car and hurried off to catch a ferry, forgetting to turn off the car. Police were unable to contact the owner, and updated ferry staff about the vehicle. Police strongly recommend that owners turn off their vehicles be-fore leaving them, no mat-ter how much of a hurry they’re in.Submitted by RCMP

Recent good weather has been a boon to local garden-ers, and the smell of fresh soil and growing things pervades the air in our town. So, too does the good weather ben-efit builders and contractors, as new homes are being built, home sales are up, and reno-vations are under full steam in many neighbourhoods.
Local residents are watch-ing with interest progress on another key structure: the building which will house a fully-functioning, vibrant public market which will provide an anchor for revi-talizing the downtown core and harbour areas of Gib-sons. The Town of Gibsons has particular interest in this project, where the con-tribution of $275,000 raised
by residents and businesses from across the Coast, along with a modest additional in-vestment on the Town’s part, has enabled us to secure 39 per cent ownership interest of the facility.
To supplement communi-ty philanthropy, in late 2015 the Gibsons Council voted to allocate $275,000 from the Parks Acquisition Fund to the Gibsons Public Mar-ket project. The Town also agreed to undertake front-age works along Bay Road and Gower Point Road for the proposed development, with an estimated value of $110,000. When it is com-plete, it is important to note that no tax dollars will go into the market’s day to day operations: the responsibil-ity to operate and maintain the public market facility will fall to the Gibsons Communi-ty Building Society, under the terms of a long-term operat-ing lease agreement.
Throughout the process of preparing for the major renovation, we have been impressed with the com-mitment and rigour of the Public Market team of vol-unteers, and the profession-als hired to assist them, as they worked with our staff through the various require-ments for building, form and character and geotechnical development permits.
Once the renovation of the site is completed, the much improved community ame-nity will house a community kitchen, permanent farmers market and a marine educa-tion centre, in an excellent location not far from our li-brary, museum and harbour. It is encouraging to see a partnership between gov-ernment, business and the community enable the devel-opment of multifaceted proj-ect like this, which will ben-efit Gibsons and the Coast for many years to come.

As Parliamentary Secre-tary to Foreign Affairs Minis-ter Dion I spend a lot of time studying the issues, debating in the House of Commons, participating in media panel discussions and attending meetings of heads of state, ambassadors and non-government organizations. Sometimes I travel.
Recently I spoke at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Develop-ment (OECD) conference on anti-bribery in Paris. Most of the world’s leading econo-mies meet quarterly in this forum to ensure progress through information sharing and co-operative legislation to identify and expose cor-rupt practices. Canada is in very good standing, and can always improve. The con-ference also enabled me to meet one on one with Justice and Foreign Affairs minis-ters from several countries. I then travelled to Stockholm to meet with Foreign Affairs Minister Wallstrom to pur-sue the leadership of women in global security.
Last week I travelled to Kosovo for the swearing in of President Hashim Thaci. When Louise Arbour was chief prosecutor for the UN International Criminal Tribu-nal (1996-99) she achieved the first-ever indictment for war crimes by a sitting Eu-ropean head of state, Serbian President Slobodan Milos-evic. Canada was one of the first countries to recognize the independence of Koso-vo in 2008. Today, this trip marks the first time a Cana-dian parliamentarian has vis-ited the independent state of Kosovo. From the President, to the incoming Foreign Af-fairs minister, to the head of the NATO command, I cannot
count the number of times I was told “this means so much to us”.
Switching to climate change and foreign policy, recently Minister Dion spoke on “Climate Change: a Risk Amplifier for World Secu-rity,” at the University of Ot-tawa. He referred to the G7 Report “A New Climate for Peace” on the ways in which climate change multiplies risk in fragile states through: increased conflict over natu-ral resources, increased risk of migration crises, ability to respond to natural disasters, disruption to food produc-tion, rising sea levels, and unintended negative con-sequences of some climate policies.
He ended by saying “Let me finish by quoting Wangari Muta Maathai who became, in 2004, the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for ‘her contribu-tion to sustainable develop-ment, democracy and peace’. (Then) she stated that, ‘in a few decades, the relation-ship between the environ-ment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see to-day between human rights, democracy and peace’. That decade is upon us now.”

“Volunteers are the roots of strong communities” is the theme of this year’s National Volunteer Week, which takes place from April 10 to 16.
Canadians are very gener-ous volunteers. Almost 13 million Canadians aged 15 years and over give of their time, and almost twice as
many (82 percent) give mon-ey to a charitable or not-for-profit organization. By giving of themselves, volunteers help Canada’s most vulner-able people and strengthen our communities.
More than half of not-for-profit organizations rely en-tirely on volunteering, mak-

This spring break, Cait-lin Jarvis, of Gibsons, a Chief Petty Officer 1st Class, in the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corp Conway Division, em-barked on the journey of a lifetime. Jarvis spent her BC high school work experience as one of three Youth Search and Rescue technicians on the Pacific Ocean with the Ca-nadian Coast Guard.
Although The Coast Guard youth boot camp program is not a Sea Cadet activity under the control and supervision of the Department of Nation-al Defence, only Royal Cana-dian Sea Cadets are selected to participate because of their seamanship, leadership,
teamwork, First Aid training and demonstrated interest in the maritime industry.
The boot camp curricu-lum included PPE-donning, swimming, self-rescue, fast rescue craft operations, driv-ing, navigating, towing, com-munications, seamanship, line-handling and a mock search and rescue mission.
To the young participants, those activities translated into polishing existing skills, learning new skills and head-ing out to sea travelling at 50 knots in a bright orange Coast Guard Zodiac in full rescue gear.
“I’m way better at maneu-vering the vessel now,” said Caitlin age 17, as she deftly reversed the Zodiac and be-gan heading out to sea for their ‘afternoon rip’.
“I know what the Coast Guard does and how they do it. I have so much respect for the Canadian Coast Guard. The experience in the Coast Guard is a part of me now, and a part of who I will be-come." Submittted

Matthew Hardisty of Clean Getaway Detailing in Madeira Park has been selected to the elite Air Force One Detailing Team which has been restor-ing and now preserving the original Air Force One presi-dential jet, on display at Se-attle’s Museum of Flight. The Boeing 707-120, also known as Special Air Missions (SAM) 970, was a flying Oval Office for Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nix-on. It also entertained many international VIPs such as Ni-kita Khrushchev and Henry Kissinger.
As a member of the 2016 team, Hardisty was selected from hundreds of detailers across North America to help celebrate Boeing’s 100th Anniversary and the open-ing of the Seattle Museum of Flight’s new Airpark Pavilion with the biggest and most prestigious historic aircraft detailing project on record.
The two-week-long mega-detailing event started April 11, and Hardisty will join the team April 17. All AFO Team members, like Hardisty, own their own successful detail-ing businesses, and they pay their own expenses and do-nate their time and skill to the massive project.
Hardisty learned detailing from Renny Doyle of Atten-tion to Details & Detailing Success in Big Bear Lake, California, who has been handling the detailing of Air Force One at the museum for the past 14 years.

I hope everyone has had a chance to enjoy the Spring so far.
Sometimes the Government and the Opposition agree on issues and vote unanimously in favour of new legislation. The Protected Areas of Brit-ish Columbia Amendment Act will get Royal Assent later this Session after all Members of the Legislature voted in fa-vour of the legislation which will establish a new class A Provincial park as well as ad-just boundaries of others. At the Sunshine Coast’s Halkett Bay Marine Park, 136-hect-ares of marine foreshore will be added to protect the glass sponge reef off Gambier Is-land. This is excellent news. While we all agreed on legis-
lation, it was an opportunity to point to significant budget-ary and staff cuts to BC Parks. For citizens to get true value from our parks, they need to be maintained, affordable, and accessible.
When passenger bus trans-portation to and from the Lower Mainland ended it left many people significantly in-convenienced. It was the first time in over 50 years that peo-ple were without this option. That is why, with local govern-ment support, the Province fast-tracked the application for Sunshine Coast Connec-tor Ltd. The licence has been granted; Lana and Dimi-try hope to operate between Vancouver and the Upper Sunshine Coast a few times a week, and daily between the ferry terminals. While there is still a lot of work to be done, and other links will be need-ed, this comes as good news. With Pacific Ferries offering passenger ferry service be-tween Gibsons and Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast gets good news on this front.
In other news, the Tla’Amin Nation (Sliammon) entered into Treaty with our Province and Canada, and the effective date came earlier this month. Now no longer subject to the restrictions of the Indian Act, Tla’Amin joins shíshálh in self-government, although through a different process. The event was celebrated with Chiefs and dignitaries coming from across Canada to enjoy the dancing and drumming and speeches. Hegus (Chief) Clint Williams paid tribute to the Elders and other Nations that helped guide the process, to his community and fam-ily. The Cascadia Council of Scouts Canada was also hon-oured for transferring Treaty-adjacent land to the Tla’Amin.
My offices remain open to provide advocacy to Sun-shine Coast residents who are experiencing difficulty or apparent unfairness in deal-ing with Provincial issues, or who would like to raise an is-sue that requires legislative change.
Notes from the Upper Mainland
Nicholas Simons M L A , Powell River and Sunshine Coast
With the beautiful weath-er of late, it is natural to be thinking about the dog days of summer, and with that, SAR and Marine Search and Rescue teams ask you to think ahead, and plan for safety. Much like flying a plane – you check your list and file your flight plan be-fore you go, without excep-tion.
Let a responsible adult know when you are leav-ing, where you plan to go, and when you plan to re-turn. Take plenty of water, some food, and proper cloth-ing and footwear. A map or chart and a compass are es-sential, but you also need to know how to use them. A handheld GPS is another use-ful tool whether on land or on water but again, knowing how to use it is a require-ment. A smart phone, with
spare batteries, might also be helpful provided it has a mapping app in it. The best one for hiking trails on the Sunshine Coast is the "trail-mapps: Sunshine Coast" app. It can be obtained through: http://trailmapps.com/ . A website with most of the Sun-shine Coast hiking trails is: http://www.sunshine-coast-trails.com/.

Bluesman Brandon Isaak comes to Pender Harbour April 17. Isaak is the 2014 Maple Blues Award winner for Acoustic Act of the Year after literally stumbling onto the blues as a youngster in his native Whitehorse. “I found a box of records in the attic,” remembers Isaak. “Mance Lispcomb, Melvin ‘L’il Son’ Jackson, Mississippi John Hurt. They were my first taste of the blues and I listen to them to this day.”
Growing up in the Yukon, with its long, dark winters, gave Isaak lots of time to hone his craft. “There’s not
much to do up there,” he ad-mits of the winters. “You can have kids, or drink your face off, get a snowmobile or do the arts.” Fortunately for fans of the blues, he chose the lat-ter, and follows a disciplined routine of writing and play-ing. “I’m doing something I love so is it discipline or am I being selfish?” he muses.
Isaak has played in bands including The Twisters, Brandon Isaak and His Saints of Swing, and Silver Screen Scoundrels, mostly playing electric guitar. But six years ago, he started playing acous-tic and hasn’t looked back. “I play many styles of blues,” he says. “There’s a whole spec-trum of colours in the blues. All music is honest but the blues is blue collar every day real life.” His music might sound like something from the 1920s or ‘30s, but his
Award-winning bluesman Brandon Isaak will play the School of Music in Madeira Park. CHRISTIAN KUNTZ PHOTO
Discover what is hidden in the big green. The Only Animal's artists create hid-den artistic treasure troves on ecological themes. This is geocaching as you've never seen it before.
Choose the easy, family loop, or the expert trail. Our caches will exist as long as the forest does, but we invite you for our launch on April 16. Drop in between 10am and 2pm at the trailhead above Roberts Creek. At the launch, we will have GPS devices to loan out and can teach you all you need to know to find the treasure. Wear sensible shoes and weather-appro-
priate clothing.“Treasure Trail” is a part of
a year of art in, around, and in support of the expanded Mt. Elphinstone Provincial Park. The Only Animal makes art with a deep relationship to place. Elphinstone Logging Focus protects key forests and habitats. Together we are making a stand for trees.
“Treasure Trail” is free. For more information, including instructions on how to reach the trail head (Health Trail) and coordinates go to www.theonlyanimal.com or to our official event page at www.geocaching.com.

Kathy Page will read at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt, on Sat. April 23. Page is a British/Canadian author living on Saltspring Island.
She is best known for sev-en dark, disturbing novels, though she has also writ-ten two volumes of short fiction as well as scripts for radio, TV, and film. Her ear-lier works, “The Story of My Face” and “Alphabet”, were short-listed, respectively, for the Orange Prize and the Governor General's Award. A more recent novel, “The Find”, was a finalist for the 2011 ReLit Award.
With its provocative prose style, complex characters, and suspenseful, unsettling
narratives, the work of Kathy Page appeals to "fans of classy thrillers and literary fiction alike" according to Sarah Wa-ters of The Independent. Yet there is also much humour and humaneness in her fic-tion. She excels at "develop-ing the political and personal nuances of conflict, and the complex workings of power dynamics," says the Globe and Mail's Claudia Casper. "Noth-ing is as simple as it seems."
She will treat us to a sample of these with readings from her novel, “Frankie Styne And The Silver Man”, and her book of short stories, “Paradise and Elsewhere”, nominated for Giller and Ethel Wilson Prizes.

lyrics are about our modern technology filled existence. “You want to make it current even if it has that old school feel,” he says. He also writes spiritual songs in the Black southern style toward which he feels an affinity. “I might be in spiritual studies or be a yogi in a cave in India if I wasn’t playing the blues” he laughs. “That’s something that really does call to me.”
But before answering that call, he’s got a new record coming out, Big City, Back Country, with Kenny Wayne and Tim Williams, as well as a new solo recording of origi-nal works that has him play-
ing only Redemption guitar, recorded in Germany at the Redemption studios. “It’s my best material yet, if I do say so myself,” he enthuses.
For his concert on the Coast, Isaak will be a one-man band, playing foot per-cussion, harmonica, guitar, and singing. “People can ex-pect genuine blues straight from the heart,” he promises.
Brandon Isaak plays at the Madeira Park School of Music Sunday, April 17 at 2pm. Tickets $25 at Harbour Insurance, Sechelt Visitors Centre or online at pender-harbourmusic.ca

Caring for an aging or sick relative is not always so easy. In addition to the physical demands of caring for such loved ones, tending to sick people can take a mental toll, potentially contributing to a condition referred to as care-giver stress.
Women are more likely than men to serve as care-givers to elderly or disabled adults. That increases their risk for caregiver stress, says the Office on Women's Health, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The Mayo Clinic notes that caring for a loved one can strain even the most resil-ient person. It can be quite
difficult to be a person's sole caregiver and witness a loved one's health deteriorate due to a debilitating illness. As the population ages, nearly 80 per cent of the long-term care that takes place in the North America is overseen by people who are not health-care professionals, including daughters, granddaughters sisters, and aunts.
Caregiver stress can mani-fest itself in many different ways, including physical and emotional problems. The following are some ways to handle the stress of caring for a sick and/or elderly relative.• Investigate available re-sources. Explore all of the op-portunities in your area that
How to ight caregiver burnoutmay relieve some of the bur-den of caring for your loved one. These may include in-home visiting care services, meal delivery, adult activity programs, and more.• Ask for help. Find out if responsibilities can be split among other family members, giving each person a chance to rest and recuperate.• Get physical. Physical activ-ity in any form can help re-duce stress and improve feel-ings of well-being, offers the Alzheimer's Association. Go for a walk, take an exercise class or ride a bicycle. Expect to feel more relaxed and less stressed after physical activ-ity.• Speak with a therapist.
Discuss your feelings with someone not directly related to your family or circle of friends. Caregivers may have feelings of anger, depression and anxiety, and may even be in denial about how much care this person really needs. Talking about your feelings with a professional can put them into perspective.• Focus on things you can control. You may not be able to cure the illness or dis-ability, but there are things in your control. Rather than dwelling on things beyond
your control, try to improve the things you can control.• Try to have fun. It's easy to make caregiving the only part of your life. However, you have to leave room for letting off steam. Don't feel guilty about going out with friends or a spouse. Make time for yourself.
Caregiver stress is a very real thing that negatively affects the health and well-being of caregivers. Some simple coping methods can relieve some of that stress.

The Office of the Seniors Advocate has released the “British Columbia Residen-tial Care Quick Facts Direc-tory”. The directory provides key information in a stan-dardized and concise format for 292 publicly funded li-cenced care facilities in Brit-ish Columbia.
“This directory builds on the work done by the Of-fice of the Ombudsperson who identified the need for a resource of this kind to be available to seniors and their family members,” stated Iso-bel Mackenzie, B.C.’s Seniors Advocate.
The “Residential Quick Facts Directory” provides information in a number of areas including:
• Address, age of facility, regulation/legislation, ac-creditation status, bed/room information • Food services, nursing, allied health (physio, occu-pational, recreation, speech and language therapies, so-cial work services) and total funded direct care hours per resident per day • Current languages spo-ken, contact for complaints, type of resident or family council • Date of last inspection/reason for inspection • Number of serious ad-verse events reported if Hos-pital Act facility, quantity and type of reportable incidents if Community Care and As-sisted Living Act facility
Residential care guide• Care Services and Qual-ity Indicators as reported by the Canadian Institute for Health Information by facil-ity and compared to the B.C. average such as percentage of residents diagnosed with depression vs. percentage of residents receiving de-pression medication, and percentage of residents who have taken antipsychotic medications.
The “British Columbia Residential Care Quick Facts Directory” can be viewed online on the Office of the Seniors Advocate website under Reports & Publica-tions at www.seniorsadvo-catebc.ca.

Lawns and gardens tend to draw the bulk of homeown-ers' attention come spring and summer. But it's impor-tant that property owners tend to the trees that dot their property as well.
The types of trees home-owners have on their prop-erty may influence when it's time to trim and prune the trees. Homeowners con-cerned about tree mainte-nance should speak with lo-cal landscaping professionals and tree services about car-ing for the trees on their spe-cific properties, but there are a few tricks to pruning trees that homeowners should keep in mind when dusting off their gardening tools.• Prune at the right time. The Arbor Day Foundation® notes that pruning during dormancy (i.e., winter) is the most common practice. Pruning in late winter, after the season's coldest temper-atures have passed, can lead to impressive and healthy growth in the spring. The ADF advises that some trees, including maple and birches, may bleed sap during prun-ing. But this is normal and should cease as the tree starts to bloom. Novice land-scapers should confirm with landscaping professionals about the best time to prune trees on their properties to ensure they are not inadver-
tently harming the trees or making them more vulner-able to fungus.• Use appropriate tools. When removing branches, use sharp tools to minimize damage to the bark. The ADF notes that young trees are best pruned with one-hand pruning shears with curved blades. For trees with high branches, use a pole pruner or hire a professional tree service. Novices should avoid anything too risky when pruning their trees, leaving the more difficult jobs to the professionals.• Follow the rules of prun-ing. When pruning trees, the ADF advises homeown-ers follow the one-third and a quarter rules of pruning. In adherence to these rules, no more than a quarter of a tree's crown is removed in a single season, and main side branches are at least one-third smaller than the diameter of the trunk. When trimming deciduous trees, homeowners should never prune up from the bottom more than one-third of the tree's total height. Finally, where possible, homeowners should aim for side branches that form angles that are one-third off vertical to form 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock angles with the trunk.• Water correctly. Like lawns and gardens, trees need wa-
Caring for your trees
ter to thrive. Insufficient wa-tering can make it hard for trees to thrive in summer, but overwatering can be harmful, too. The ADF suggests that watering each tree for 30 seconds with a steady stream of water from a garden hose equipped with a diffuser nozzle should be sufficient. Newly planted trees may need more help as they try to establish deep root systems, so consider laying mulch around newly planted trees. Mulch helps the soil retain moisture and form deeper, stronger root systems.
Trees maintenance should be a priority as homeown-ers once again start tending to their lawns and gardens. More information about car-ing for trees is available at www.arborday.org.

Tip of the Week:That powerful New Moon
last week has arrived at its first sharp turn. The triple conjunction of Sun, Moon, and Uranus all forming a close, hard aspect to Pluto is a clear marker for change. The First Quarter Moon, which appears as a lovely half-moon, indicates a turn-ing point. Symbolic of the spring equinox, it is a call for action.Aries (Mar 21–Apr 20)
A pioneering mood pre-vails. Something has been awakened within you. As though ignited with this new realization, you are determined to forge ahead. Circumstances are pushing to learn and unlearn. Exist-ing attitudes, perceptions, and behaviour patterns are under review. You are done with wishing and dreaming. The time has come to going.Taurus (Apr 20–May 21)
You have entered a pow-erful and pivotal time in your life. Things have and continue to be changing, both within and without and dramatically. So much is stirring; you may feel dizzy or at least somewhat bewildered, literally and figuratively. This state has been brewing for months already, but it has arrived at yet another peak. Begin to find your way again by be-ing your own best friend.Gemini (May 21–Jun 21)
Achieving a state of grace under pressure is a time-less requirement for us all, but some cycles require it more than others, like now. Balancing a feeling of con-fidence with that of caution continues. Less casual and more concentrated in your efforts, prayers and/or ac-cessing your inner, spiritual counsel may be underway, as though guided by sheer instinct.Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)
Some significant seeds of change have been sown in your public and profession-
al sphere. To succeed you may feel the need for some down to earth and timeless wisdom. Questions about health are quite possible. This is where the wisdom that ‘food is your best medi-cine’ comes to the fore. Pure water, moderate but con-sistent exercise and plenty of rest are the other three corners.Leo (Jul 22–Aug 23)
Circumstances are push-ing you to reconsider your strategy and approach. Something has to change and you may feel the need to take a few risks. Balanc-ing courage with caution is likely. You are not in a foolhardy mood. You want measurable results. This in-cludes investments of time, energy, and/or money. You are wise to follow the rules more closely now as well. The universe is watching, as well as the world.Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)
Broadening your hori-zons comes with the need to both expand your point of view and deepen your resolve. The deepening part might require that you clear away prior orientations, at-titudes and perspectives. At least, the timing is right as the spring season invites it. The pinch is that this may require letting go of some long-cherished dreams but which now may be no more than fantasies.Libra (Sep 22–Oct 22)
Some sudden and per-haps unexpected changes in your relationships are underway. By now these should be quite evident. However, sometimes there is a delay or other distrac-tions can obscure what later may be deemed obvious. At best, these are serving to break free from what liter-ally amount to years of ac-cumulation. Use this cue to get clear and cooperate with this dynamic flow.Scorpio (Oct 22–Nov 21)
A steady trend of signifi-cant changes in your life-style dating back several years now has received the next activation. Altogether, these are destined to con-tribute to deep changes in your point of view and/or
self-concept. You have likely and ideally responded by reinventing yourself, even a few times and it is happen-ing again. Good thing you are so inventive.Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21)
The seeds of a creative and exciting wave of in-spirations are now in the gestation phase. Looking back over the past couple of years or so, you should no-tice a steady development of breakthrough. The call now is to push to establish greater public and profes-sional credibility. Fortu-nately, your powers of criti-cal analysis are strong right now; use them to maximize the results of this boon.Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19)
A new round of activity close to home has begun. While external responses are likely, you are also being prompted to work behind the scenes. This can imply inner work. This includes addressing perceptions, at-titudes and interpretations that perhaps only you know are there and in need of at-tention. Accessing outer support to do this inner work may prove wise.Aquarius (Jan 19–Feb 19)
Life has a way of taking corners and thereby reveal-ing realities previously hid-den. So you are now on a steady march towards new possibilities and experi-ences that even two weeks ago were not so clear and evident. This turn of events is likely to be just the first in a whole series over the coming year or so. The good news is that there are indi-cations that these can be described as rewards.Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)
The recent New Moon seed is producing chang-es in your financial flow. Whatever it looks or feels like, you can engage and make sure these are in your favor. However, engage you must. This includes reach-ing out towards a wider scope and quality of partici-pation. This is a call to di-rect your focus to decipher what talents you may have hidden in your psychic trea-sure chest.

SENIOR BIRTHDAYS ON THE SUNSHINE COAST
(AGE 90+)Jana Bubelova celebrated her
92nd Birthday on April 08, 2016!
She can tell a good story and light up the room with her smile.
Happy Belated Birthday Jana! From your family & friends!
Happy Birthday Jana!
If you or someone you know is celebrating a Birthday, age 90+ send us a photo and a short bio and we will publish this for you in the LOCAL.
On April 4, a Coast resident reported falling for a common scam after a virus on her lap-top set off an audible alarm and a message on her screen, purportedly from Telus, warn-ing her that her computer was compromised. The resi-dent called the number on the screen and, believing she was speaking to Telus tech support, gave her credit card number and agreed to pay to have her computer fixed. The resident realized she'd been scammed after receiving demands for
more money, and confirmed with Telus directly that they would not send out such warn-ings through the computer. She cancelled her credit card and was advised to have her com-puter professionally serviced to remove the virus and to in-vest in up-to-date virus protec-tion. To learn about common scams, please visit the Canadi-an Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre-centreanti-fraude.ca or the Better Busi-ness Bureau at www.bbb.org.
