The night sky over Gibsons harbour lit up Saturday, July 25 with the Sea Cavalcade � reworks. About $12,000 worth of pyrotechnics went up on smoke in a crowd-pleasing 20-minute show, put on by Gary Mill of Gibsons. Its been a couple of years since the 47-year-old Cavalcade featured the exploding of a boat in the harbour – it has been out of favour environmentally and this year there was additional concern about the extreme � re hazard. But the explosions in the sky provided a colourful climax to a day of family fun. RIK JESPERSEN PHOTO

HOCKEY
The Sunshine Coast Regional District is hosting a variety of summer hockey programs for residents and visitors of the Sunshine Coast that run from August 24 to 28:
Hockey School for Tykes is for 5 and 6 year olds and runs on-ice 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and off-ice 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This program is limited to 20 participants.
Hockey School for Novice to Peewee is for 7 to 12 year olds and takes place between 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It consists of two ice sessions—an off ice session and a lunch break. This program is divided into two groups based on age and/or ability.
The Bantam-Midget Conditioning Camp is an evening program that is designed for players interested in Rep level or a junior hockey career. This program starts on the ice at 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. and finishes with off ice hockey specific training outdoors until 8:00 p.m.
The Duffers Adult Learn to Play hockey camp runs from 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.
One Goal is a five-day program that takes place from August 3 to September 4 from 10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. for beginners ages 3 to 6.
Detailed schedules can be found at www.scrd.ca/SCRD-Recreation.
The Seaglass luxury con-dominium proposed for the Gibsons waterfront has taken another step forward in the development process, de-spite continuing reservations about the project’s design.
Town Council unanimously passed first reading on the project’s zoning and OCP amendments at its July 21 meeting.
The 12-unit condo devel-opment would offer suites with a projected unit price of between $1.2 and $2 million, and would be built across three adjacent properties at 458, 460 and 462 Marine Drive.
The town’s Advisory Plan-ning Commission (APC) had objected to the form and character of the development,
Seaglass clears �irst hurdleleading to its rejection by Council in 2013 and prompt-ing developer Tim Langen-berg to go back to the drawing board.
Langenberg admitted at a council committee meeting in June that the previous look of Seaglass was “a bit stuffy for Gibsons,” but he retained the column and arch design in the latest makeover.
Langenberg has also said the structure would be the “greenest building of its kind ever proposed in Canada,” and among other environmentally friendly features, would gen-erate more water and electri-cal energy than it consumes.
But the style of the project is still a sticking point.
“There was a lot of dis-cussion about it at the APC,” Councillor Silas White said. “And I’m concerned about the precedent.”
Director of Planning Andre Boel told Council in June that the project has many mer-its, but that in the opinion of Town staff the Seaglass look was, "distinctly not West Coast."
Mayor Wayne Rowe also has voiced concerns about the design, but said it’s time to hear from the community.
“This will have to go to a public hearing as is. You’re going to find out then if the support is in the community,” Rowe told the developers.
The hearing is expected to be scheduled for September. Rik Jespersen

Most of the 180 workers to be laid off in the partial shut-down at the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper Mill will still have a few months’ work remaining, their union says.
The surprise announce-ment of an “immediate clo-sure” of the Port Mellon plant’s paper and TMP (ther-mo mechanical pulp) opera-tions came July 23 from the mill’s corporate owner, Paper Excellence Canada, of Rich-mond, B.C.
The union for about 140 of the laid-off employees quickly issued a release to reassure its membership that “imme-diate” didn’t necessarily mean right away.
“Union-affected members of Unifor Local 1119 will con-tinue to work… and can po-tentially take a transfer to one of the other three pulp mills that Paper Excellence owns in B.C.,” Local President Don Rheaume said in a release.
The union said the employ-ees will still have 12 weeks work before the layoffs take
effect, with severance pay-outs to come after that. Health benefit packages will remain intact until the end of the year.
Rheaume said the closure “came as a shock to us all,” and he hoped to secure severance packages, early retirement packages, and re-training op-portunities for those affected.
"The management has indi-cated that there are many op-tions on the table, and we're going to explore all of them," said Rheaume.
Other operations at the mill will continue, meaning con-tinued employment for the remaining 335 staff members. The company will also still be the largest private employer on the Coast.
“While this has been a dif-ficult decision to make, the Kraft pulp mill and power generating businesses at the Howe Sound Mill will now become stronger and more sustainable,” said David Kerr, Vice President with Paper Ex-cellence Canada.
The company blamed the
‘Shocking’ Port Mellon mill closurewaning demand for news-print for the shutdown.
“Newsprint prices have continued to decline year over year and are expected to continue declining due to shrinking markets and over-capacity,” it said.
The layoffs are part of a pattern in the last six months in the North American pulp and paper industry, with hun-dreds of workers laid off in Washington, Minnesota and Maine.
Plant General Manager Steve Bird said the unusually dry weather in southwest B.C. was also a factor in the timing of the closure.
“In light of the extreme drought conditions experi-enced since May, the decision to cease paper operations was advanced to help conserve water supply,” Bird said.
The mill has occupied the Port Mellon site under various owners since 1909.

A search led by the Coast Guard off the southeast coast of Gambier Island located a child’s body near Brigade Bay overnight Saturday, July 25. The search followed the investigation into an unoccu-pied boat found adrift a few hours earlier.
Sunshine Coast RCMP re-ceived a call from the Coast Guard at approximately 9:30 pm on July 25, after the boat was found in the waters south of Anvil Island, which is near Lions Bay. Indica-tions were that the boat had
recently been occupied. The Coast Guard continued their search of the area, and later located the body of a 6-year-old girl in the water near Bri-gade Bay on Gambier Island. They were able to determine that the girl was associated to the boat found adrift.
It is believed that the girl had been on the boat with her father, a 60 year-old man from North Vancouver; the Coast Guard suspended the search for him after failing to find him on Sunday, July 26. Sunshine Coast RCMP are
Boating death near Gambier Islandinvestigating the man’s dis-appearance, and are working with the BC Coroner’s Ser-vice to try to determine the circumstances of the girl’s death.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen a 20’ alu-minum hard-top boat, beige in colour, in the area between Lions Bay and Gambier Island during the late afternoon or evening hours of Saturday July 25 to call Sunshine Coast RCMP at (604) 885-2266, file #15-5037.

Editorial Opinion
Letters to the Editor – Opinions‘Wacko’ ferry staff
(Addressed to BC Ferries and copied to the Local)
My sister, a real estate agent in Richmond, had come over to Gibsons for a client house inspection in Gibsons. She had made a reserva-tion to get the 10:50 ferry to Horseshoe Bay in order to get back to a real estate meeting in Vancouver. Here is her tale of that trip.
“The ferry was to leave at 10:50 so we should have checked in by 10:20. We were in line, the car in front of us seemed to take forever at the booth, talking to the girl in the booth, at least 3 minutes. When we got there she said in a very cheeky tone: YOU are NOT going into the reservation line. We said nothing, we were speechless. Then she printed the timed ticket, gave it and our reservation back to us, the ticket was stamped 10:25 (This is after sitting behind the car that was talking to her, and then her cheekiness before she stamped it.) She said if you have a problem with that talk to my supervisor, go to line 16, you might get on. We didn't, but there seemed to be many cars that came after us that were sent to another line and got on.
She was rude, we said noth-ing. She didn't say oh sorry you just missed the cut off and I can't give you your res-ervation. She was nasty and wacko like she was delighted that she could tell us we were not getting on the ferry. There was no supervisor around that we could see so we waited 90 minutes in the blazing noon sun and I missed my meeting. All for two minutes or, by the proof, certainly not more than 5. We were flabbergasted!"
I would not be surprised if the buyer decides not to buy in Gibsons after hearing of this treatment.
What is the point of pro-moting tourism, housing and events if this is the attitude of the ONLY way to get to and
from the Sunshine Coast and this is the attitude expressed by those supposedly at our service? I do hope my sister at least receives an apology from the insensitive and rude woman at the toll booth and maybe some explanation from your office how other cars arriving after they did got on the ferry and they did not.
Something is wrong here and I hope you can make it right.
Sharron R. McMillan, Sechelt
Mr. Fuerniss’s visionAs the George saga unfolds,
it seems no one is immune from scrutiny, not politicians, homeowners, GABC, publish-ers, editors, business own-ers, supporters, detractors, even letter writers! No one, ironically, except the central character, developer Klaus Fuerniss.
Yes, extreme detractors make occasional allega-tions in social media about Fuerniss's business practices in an attempt to cast doubt on the proposal. But these claims are unsubstantiated and ir-relevant.
Alternatively, extreme sup-porters trumpet that Fuerniss has invested a considerable amount of time, effort and money into his proposal. Per-haps, but so what? That does not of itself lend the proposal any special credibility.
Pro-Georgers further maintain that Fuerniss is "a local businessman" who is "investing $50 million of his own money", for which we should be impressed and grateful. To date, aside from the land, Fuerniss has more likely invested several hun-dred thousand dollars. Upon zoning approval, his condo-miniums would pre-sell to finance the project, with the remainder raised or bor-rowed. Fuerniss's investment might be nothing near $50M. Only he knows. And he's not saying.
What does exist for all to examine is Fuerniss's por-trayal of his proposal as "the goose that laid the golden egg." Experience shows that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Caveat emptor!
Even more eyebrow-rais-ing is Fuerniss's "take it or leave it" ultimatum to Gib-sons. Think about that! Is Gib-sons that desperate? Fuerniss suggests that without ap-proval he will 'just' build con-dominiums. So be it. At least they won't be 135 feet high. At least condominiums won't forever change Gibsons just to satisfy his vision.
Mr. Fuerniss has a big dream. He wants to convert our quaint town into a five star international destina-tion. But who really shares his particular dream, aside from sycophants and those with $$$ signs in their eyes?

Ban the bombOn June 6th 1965, 50
ban–the–bomb activists at-tempted to enter the military airbase at Comox, on Vancou-ver Island, for the expressed purpose of dismantling it and beginning a process of conversion to peaceful uses. When stopped, they sat down and “blocked the road to war” for 24 hours. On August 28th of that year, all 14 entrances to the base were blocked.
To mark the 50th anni-versary of this historic anti-nuclear campaign, a reunion and weekend of communal activities and discussions will be held in Roberts Creek, Au-gust 28-30.
The action in 1965 was in response to Prime Min-ister Lester B. Pearson’s de-cision to allow U.S. nuclear warheads on Canadian soil. Outrage at this decision was fanned by the fact that Pear-son had earlier stated that the Bomarc missile was "not a de-fense in any sense" and that Canada should remain a non–nuclear power. Directly in-
spired by Gandhi, the U.S. civil rights movement, and peace actions around the world, the sit-down marked the first civ-il disobedience campaign for peace ever conducted in Brit-ish Columbia, and only the second in Canada (The first took place at La Macaza, Que-bec the year before, in 1964).
The sit–down in June 1965 was part of a summer-long series of actions called Co-mox Project '65…culminating in a sit–down on August 28 that blocked all fourteen en-trances around the base’s six mile perimeter. Demonstra-tors were dragged repeatedly off the road at some of the gates to allow for the passage of vehicles. Some were arrest-ed; one had his nose broken. Yet all participants remained faithful to a nonviolent code of conduct.
Organizers of the 50th an-niversary reunion have so far contacted 25 former par-ticipants, and are searching for more. It is believed that hundreds, overall, played some role in the activities that summer. Anyone interested in attending this reunion should contact Peter Light at 604–886–8527, or write him at [email protected]

On ageism
LETTERS TO THE EDITORLetters to the editor should be sent by e-mail to [email protected].
The deadline is Monday at 10am for that week’s paper.
Generally, letters should not exceed 300 words. And all letters must be signed, include the writ-er’s community of resi-dence and (not for publi-cation) telephone number. Letters may be edited for a variety of reasons.
I recall a time about 20 years ago when my mom came home and matter-of-factly stated that she had become invisible. She said it started to happen when she turned 60. I was 35 back then, and although I couldn’t really comprehend her experi-ence I knew that it was significant – and I have never forgotten it to this day.
Now I understand that what she was describing was “age-ism”. Robert Butler coined the term ageism back in the 60’s as “[a] process of systematic stereotyping or discrimination against people because they are old, just as racism and sex-ism accomplish with skin colour and gender.” Ageism is about making both negative and positive generalizations about all “old people” simply because of their age – it’s about discrimi-nating against ourselves in the future. Negative examples in-clude “all old people are bad drivers, boring, don’t do anything but sit around all day, are not sexual and are mentally incom-petent”. Positive examples include “all old people are sweet, angelic and wise”.
Although we live in a youth oriented society, younger people aren’t exempt from being victims of ageist generalizations ei-ther. For example, “all kids do is text and facebook”.
It is my belief that we all have ageist attitudes. I have alarm-ingly noticed them in myself. It is in some ways no surprise. We are surrounded by anti-aging messaging. The problem is that when we make generalizations about a whole group of people, rather than valuing each person as a unique and valuable be-ing, it enables us to treat them as “less than”. When anyone is devalued, it then makes it possible for us to discount and dis-respect them.
What can we each do to address this societal problem? We can learn to recognize ageist language and attitudes in our-selves. We can speak up about it in our interactions with others or when we see examples of it in organizations, in the media, in social policies. We can keep organizing opportunities for peo-ple of all ages in our communities to come together.
The Seniors Planning Table Work Plan includes the develop-ment of a series of Action Groups, all of which are in the pro-cess of meeting for the first time over the summer to identify key issues to be addressed. So far more than 40 community members have signed up for groups focused on substandard housing, abuse response and prevention, safety issues, and de-mentia support. In addition we have an Evaluation and a Com-munications group to support this work. We welcome people of all ages with an interest!
Many of the 50-plus organizations and individuals on the Se-niors Planning Table have taken the group’s priorities to heart and are planning community information events for the fall. If you or your group are interested in this please be in touch: [email protected] or 604-885-4088. Thanks to the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation for supporting our first year!

Farmers on the Sunshine Coast will be able to water their crops even if severe watering restrictions are put in place, after a delegation convinced the SCRD Board to amend its regulations for this year.
Stage 4 restrictions—which could be imposed by mid-August—would prohibit all outdoor watering, without exception.
But the farmers’ delegation to the Board’s July 23 meet-ing, led by Dale Peterson and Annette Clarke, and backed by an overflow turnout of dozens of supporters, pleaded with the Board to allow a Stage 4 watering exemption for food producers.
“We are currently one of the most food-insecure areas in British Columbia,” Peter-son said. “We are urgently requesting visible support tonight from the Board by showing they are truly acutely cognizant of the importance of the viability of our local food security.”
But the Board was holding the line, based on advice from staff that the water supply is on the verge of crisis.
“If we get to Level 4, we’re in deep danger, farmers and consumers, we’re all in deep danger,” Board Chair Garry Nohr told the delegation.
Sechelt’s Director, Mayor Bruce Milne, echoed Nohr’s view, calling broad exemp-tions for food growers “a slip-pery slope.”
“We have to take seriously what Stage 4 is,” Milne told the group. “The priorities are
to provide water to support human health, fire protection and environmental flows [in crucial creeks].”
But Roberts Creek Director Mark Lebbell argued that the Sunshine Coast community as a whole had shown great re-straint in water consumption and would likely continue to curb usage if asked to. Lebbell then put forward a motion to allow the watering exemption for farmers.
Three Directors quickly said they opposed the mo-tion, but Elphinstone Director Lorne Lewis suggested only exempting the 122 Sunshine Coast properties with official B.C. farm status.
Milne then went further, recommending exempting only status farms that had wa-ter meters.
The amended motion, which applies only to 2015, then passed unanimously, to
Drought-panicked farmers win over SCRDloud applause from support-ers.
Another motion from Leb-bell, asking SCRD staff to re-port on possible incentive programs for purchase of water storage containers and other water-saving devices, also passed unanimously.
Bryan Shoji, the SCRD’s Manager of Infrastructure Services, told the meeting earlier that if there’s no sig-nificant rainfall and Coast res-idents were to keep consum-ing about 14 million litres per day, “we’re more than likely going to run out of water” by the end of September.
Stage 4 could reduce con-sumption to about 10 million litres per day, said Shoji.
“Our goal is to get our sup-ply to the point where we can make it to the fall rains. And we’re just hoping that those fall rains come in the middle of October.” Rik Jespersen

The Hackett Park Craft Fair returns this year with over 60 participating vendors and 10 scheduled performers. The fair, a fundraiser for the Sunshine Coast Arts Council, is one of the largest juried fairs in the province, with artisans coming from near and far to ply their distinctive wares. While fair favourites Rock Flocks and Anthony Ja-mieson Designs, to name just two, will be returning, there will also be new vendors for patrons to discover.
Designers 3, comprised of fibre artists Jill Sullivan, Tri-sha Joel and Penny Connell, are established Sunshine Coast artists working in fab-rics, creating beautiful wall hangings and other cloth based artworks. Their mo-tivation for participating in the fair, the first for Sullivan and Joel, and only the sec-ond for Connell, came from a desire to try their hand at
Art Review

something different. “Making this kind of stuff is relaxing for me,” says Sullivan. “I use different skills entirely. With my artwork, I work in whole cloth and use fibre reactive dyes and stencils. The pieces for the craft fair are working with stuff that’s left over from other projects.”
Already environmentally mindful, the trio set out to make saleable goods that would appeal to discerning consumers looking for some-thing exceptional and utilize materials they already had on hand. “That’s was our cri-teria,” says Sullivan. “We were not going out and buying stuff, but using stuff up that we already had in our studios or that people had given us.” For Sullivan that meant us-ing India cloth scraps to piece together dresses, and turn-ing her old drop sheets into attractive bags and purses. “I use canvass drop sheets when painting my artwork, and after a while, they don’t look too bad,” laughs Sullivan, referring to the drop sheets. “So I use them for bags and curtains.” The result is a styl-ish art bag, trimmed with leather from old coats and thrift store finds. Joel recycles bed sheets, worn linen table-cloths and other fabric scraps to create scarves, pillow cov-ers and tops. Connell recycles and reuses reclaimed ma-terials and found objects to create unique jewellery and fabric gift wrap.
Designers 3 is looking for-ward to the fair and the op-portunities it could bring. “I guess I’ll find out if anyone besides me would actually wear one of my dresses,” jokes Sullivan. “It’s nice to take a break from the studio and try something new, so we’ll see how it all turns out.” The fair takes place in Hack-ett Park, Sechelt, August 15 and 16, 10am to 4pm. Sug-gested donation $3, $2 for se-niors and students. Children under 12 free.
Jill Sullivan models a dress and a purse made from left-over pieces of fabric. Sul-livan, Trisha Joel and Penny Connell bring their unique wares to the Hackett Park Craft Fair, Sechelt, August 15 and 16. More info at sun-coastarts.com ANNA NOBILE PHOTO

According to the National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. But that does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to improve their sleeping pat-terns.
For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options: • Almonds: Magnesium is a mineral with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds con-
Some snacks will help you sleep
In 2016 our beautiful Li-brary building will turn 20 years old. Some of you may remember the opening of the new library and the extraordi-nary work done by volunteers raising funds to support the project. You may also remem-ber at that time using a card catalogue to search for books and having your book stamped with a due date. Things cer-tainly have changed rapidly over the last 20 years. For most of us computers weren’t much more than a typing machine, and the Internet was in its in-fancy, pre-Google days!
Since that time, library ser-vices and the way people use libraries has also changed im-mensely. In 2014 the Library celebrated its first century of service, the same year the Li-brary Board recognized a need to adapt the library building, optimizing the current space. A plan was developed to trans-form the Library’s existing lay-out to accommodate 21st cen-tury library services, including the modification of the foyer into a Teen section, reorienta-tion of shelves, circulation and reference services, and instal-lation of additional seating ar-eas and work surfaces. These changes will create additional space for all ages to utilize and enjoy the Library on your own or in a group.
Over the next six months the Library Board and staff will continue working on the plan, including ways to fund the project. Thanks to a gener-ous donation from the Library Foundation the Library Board is optimistic that this project is well within reach.
In the meantime you may see some minor changes to the existing layout of the Library.
Library staff are continuously evaluating our services and how they are delivered, to en-sure we are doing the best job possible.

tain enough magnesium to help men and women get a better night's sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be enough to make fall-ing and staying asleep easier.• Bananas: Much like al-monds, bananas provide a substantial amount of mag-nesium. Bananas also contain the amino acid tryptophan, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep.• Cheese and crackers: Cheese and crackers contain
tryptophan and carbohy-drates, which can induce a bet-ter night's sleep and help you fall asleep sooner.• Hummus: The primary in-gredient in hummus is chick-peas, which are loaded with tryptophan, folate and vitamin B6. Folate has proven espe-cially beneficial to older men and women who need help regulating their sleep patterns, while vitamin B6 helps the body regulate its clock. Metro

Horoscope
Michael O’ConnorAstrologer
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)You are in a playful and
passionate mood. Yet you also want to get to the bottom of things in certain areas of your life. Renovations or a deep cleaning of corners, closets, garages and basements are likely. Unless you can strat-egize to satisfy both, you may end up feeling conflicted and moody.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A strong focus on home and family is occupying your thoughts and actions now. Your energy levels and con-fidences stand to be running high. This represents a win-dow of opportunity to forge ahead. Focus on shining your light by acknowledging the beauty you see in the people you love.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
An extra busy cycle has begun. Fortunately, it is illu-mined by a spirit of fun, ad-venture, play and creativity. This is an ideal time to social-ize or to get away with family and friends. Work on letting yourself play.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Taking stock of your overall worth is a central theme now. In addition to assets and in-vestments, the focus is upon skills and talents and your future potential. In some re-spects you want to shake it up and challenge yourself to think and act in new ways. The goal is to feel confident about new possibilities and prospects.Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)
Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in your sign now will synchronize with the urge to take a few risks and to explore your options for cre-ative self-expression. Beyond purely engaging in creative activity, your ambitions are on the rise. In order to suc-ceed you may have some in-ner work to do. Acknowledge your fear then confront it!Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The urge to take some time out is likely now. Entering your studio or lab or work-shop to focus on creative proj-ects would fit the bill. Getting away for a while might also work, as long as you can have enough time and space to dream and reflect.Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
All those planets in Leo are stimulating both your core sense of individuality and your friendship network too. In good Libra fashion, the emphasis may tilt to one side then the other intermittently. Other factors emphasize a driving force to advance in your professional and/or public life.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)You are in an exciting cycle.
That this excitement may lean on drama and even stress is the flip side of the story. Your drive is evident but you are determined to be smooth and graceful, at least when in pub-lic view. Whether in public or even behind the scenes your power is your steady persis-tence to take action. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
All that Leo fire should be igniting your engines now. With your ambitions on a steady rise this is your cue to take a creative lead. The main challenge may be decipher-ing exactly where and how to direct your focus. A new day is dawning and it will lead you to establish a whole new foundation.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
The time is right to scout for new people and pros-pects. Who has the resources, talents, charisma and creative genius you need to advance to the next level? Be willing to nurture associations with
practical potential. Yet take your time to feel confident that their ambitions actually align with yours.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
A big wave of passion is washing in on the shores of your relationship life. This is a call to be less intellectual and to direct your focus more fully into your body. Feel your heart beating and engage with physical activity, dance, and movement and so on; tune in to your sensual side. Some measure of moderation is ever wise, especially if the pleasure comes from food and spirits. Otherwise, go big!Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It is time to get to work on all those creative inspira-tions that have been brewing. At least get started on those projects that you know are important. Focus to establish the foundation of a promising momentum. This may include simply getting organized and creating a suitable setting. Whatever initiatives you feel you need to take, do it now!
