Application No. 316467
Environmental Protection Notice
Application for a Permit Under the Provisions of the Environmental Management Act
We, Cloutier Holdings Inc. (2224 Field Road, Sechelt, BC) intend to submit this application to the Director to authorize the discharge of air emissions from an engineered wood debris burning facility. The source of this discharge is trees and brush from residential and commercial development clearing operations.
The land upon which the facility will be situated and the discharge will occur is District Lot 4092, Plan 22687, Group 1, NWD within the District of Sechelt and the Howe Sound Airshed.
The expected minimum rate of air emissions discharge from this facility will be 43.5 kg of PM10 and 40.7 kg of PM2.5 per 72 hour burn (1200 tonnes of unburned mass). The operating period for this facility will be twice annually, one 72 hr burn per period. The characteristics of the air emissions and particular matter from this process are chemically inert. The maximum point of impingement for a 24 hr period is expected to be 0.6 µg/m3/24 hr for PM2.5. This conservative concentration is less than 1% of the Canada Wide Standard of 30 µg/m3/24 hr for PM2.5, and is less than 1% of the BC objective of 50 30 µg/m3/24 hr for PM10.
Any person who may be adversely affect by the proposed air emission and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service, or display, send written comments to the applicant’s agent, with a copy to the Regional Manager, Environmental Protection at #200-10470 152nd Street Surrey, BC V3R 0Y3. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become a part of public record.

Former Sechelt mayor John Henderson has come out swinging in response to findings in a highly critical provincial Auditor General’s report on how he and the previous District Council conducted its business.
“I categorically reject the allegation that our Council put Sechelt ‘at unnecessary
Former mayor Henderson rejects Auditor General’s “explosive” reportrisk’ at any time,” Henderson said. “I will be the first to ad-mit that we were not perfect, but we always acted in the best interest of taxpayers and we learned and improved over our three-year term.”
B.C.’s Auditor General for Local Government said in the audit it made public April 29 that “the District exposed
taxpayers to unnecessary risks” in planning and build-ing Sechelt’s new $25-million sewage treatment plant, now named the Water Resource Centre (WRC).
The report found that:• “A document approxi-
mating a business case did not exist until several months after the District committed
to proceeding with the ex-panded project.”
• “District representatives held separate, closed meet-ings with potential bidders prior to issuing a request for proposals,” and thus, “The District cannot demonstrate that all prospective bidders received the same informa-tion at the same time and
that the bidding process was conducted in a fair and open manner.”
• “Council did not approve terms of reference for the [steering] committee until it had virtually completed its work, and most of its report-ing to Council was informal and verbal.”
• "During the period cov-ered by the audit, the District lacked policy on how to deal with allegations of conflict of interest that were raised in the community."
Henderson answered many of the criticisms in a two-page statement released May 5.
He rebutted the notion that council proceeded on the project without a busi-ness case, telling the Local in an interview that in fact there were five separate business cases provided by experts in the field.
“We relied on the expertise of five world-class engineer-ing consortiums, who build treatment plants all the time. These teams each produced a business case to meet the needs of our community for the next 40 years.”
As to allegations of a lack of transparency, Henderson said Section 90 of the B.C. Community Charter allows Council to hold closed-door meetings on matters related to negotiations on the provi-sion of municipal services that are in their preliminary stages.
“We relied on District staff and legal counsel for their guidance on when to hold closed door meetings and acted accordingly based on their advice,” he said.
Key among eight recom-mendations in the auditor’s report is a suggested review of the entire sewage treat-ment project, including an evaluation of construction, project management, costs in completing it as well as the risks, life-cycle costs and the WRC’s long-term financial stability.
At a news conference April 29, current Mayor Bruce Milne called the recommen-dation for the comprehensive review “explosive.”
“The Auditor General came in and looked at the largest single capital project that the District of Sechelt has ever done. And after do-
ing a full audit on that proj-ect,” Milne said, “they’re say-ing they don’t know [if the project is good value].”
Milne said that council would “implement every single one” of the report’s recommendations.
“We’re going to follow through to ensure that we have the best practices, as we should have,” he said.
For his part, Henderson said he would make himself available to contribute to the review if asked. But he added that he believes the WRC project speaks for itself.
“At the end of the day, we built a leading-edge odour-less, noiseless, green waste-water treatment facility on time and on budget at no cost to general taxpayers in Sech-elt. It has been heralded as a model for other municipali-ties across Canada as has the process we followed.”
The Auditor General’s re-port also identified major flaws in the 2012 project to pave Mason, Heritage and Sandpiper roads in West Sechelt.
“We found no evidence that the District consulted with the affected commu-nity members about this proposed project, undertook traffic or other studies or rated this project in priority against other possible capital projects,” the report said.
Henderson did not re-spond directly to the issue of consultation, but said the report’s criticisms of sole-sourcing procurement did not take into account the fact that the same method had been used in paving contract in the District before he was in office and was changed by his administration in 2013.
Henderson said the report might have taken that into account had he been given a chance to read it and offer comments before it was re-leased, as he had requested.
“For reasons I find unac-ceptable, the AGLG turned down my request. This is un-fortunate as I could have pro-vided important input and perspective that would have resulted in a much more ac-curate, complete and helpful report,” he said.

Editorial Opinion
Letters to the Editor – OpinionsRecall called for
The Auditor General for Lo-cal Government (AGLG) report on the last District of Sechelt Council’s handling of the sew-age treatment plant and the paving of Sandpiper, Mason and Heritage roads confirms that the citizens of Sechelt choose wisely in electing the current Mayor and Council.
Vindication of those who were justly critical of past closed-door processes is bitter sweet. Sechelt is still saddled with paying off the excess and unnecessary costs rung up. It is not yet clear that the sew-age treatment plant is capable of producing quality effluent for safe ocean dispersal. We all hope it is.
Mayor Milne and Council are to be congratulated for their open acceptance of and com-mitment to implementing the recommendations of the AGLG report. Mayor Milne has said Sechelt needs to go even far-ther in improving governance procedures. Kudos!
This sordid chapter in Sech-elt’s history points to other conclusions.
The Community Charter, the provincial legislation gov-erning municipal and regional governments contains recom-mended practices and proce-dures for civic governments to fairly and openly represent their citizens. Its stellar failing is that it contains no enforce-ment mechanisms whatsoever. Citizens excluded by a rogue council are left with no option but to criticize, organize and wait until the next election to rectify the problem. This is not good enough!
The provincial government should take the lessons learned by the AGLG in their reviews of various municipal councils and amend the Community Char-ter. They should build in effec-tive enforcement mechanisms available to citizens to enable effective mid-term actions to correct the conduct of elected officials up to and including an efficient recall procedure. Elected officials who under-stand they serve at the ongoing pleasure of the electorate and who know that they are subject
to recall by that electorate are more apt to show respect for their citizens.Jef Keighley, Halfmoon Bay
Yes to “biochar”(Sent to Sechelt council and
copied to the Local)It has been said that waste
or a pollutant is a misplaced resource.
Although not in agreement with the “way” in which the Sechelt Water Resource Cen-tre came into being, I appreci-ate the interest of the previous council and mayor, in being active participants by taking innovative action in the pres-ent to lead in the field of waste water as resource.
The fact that there is fund-ing available from the Federa-tion of Canadian Municipalities Green Municipal Fund (GMF), is an indicator that there is a strong national interest to-wards finding successful ways to remove hormones and phar-maceuticals from wastewater effluent and biosolids. We need to be interested in this as the amount of these is growing exponentially, and dare I say higher in municipalities where there are aging populations.
The "Biochar Project" as proposed at the Committee meeting on April 22 by Paul Nash is one such “experiment” as Mr. Wright so strongly em-phasized. It should be noted that Mr. Wright confused mon-ies that would be allocated towards this project as being money that could be allocated towards his or other's interests in paving or lighting projects. These monies are specific to explorations in Green projects.
This experiment could lead the way in furthering the ab-solute need for humans to re-spect and recycle water as we go forward together in collabo-ration with our earth’s capacity to digest our consumptive and wasteful ways.
In light of environmen-tal changes right here in our community regarding water, including ongoing interest of future logging in our water-sheds, low rainfall and spring runoff, the issue of waste wa-ter as resource is a glowing
beacon for our care.I encourage the present
council and mayor to move in ways that are in accordance with what we are FOR rather than what we are AGAINST. It would be a grave mistake for our Water Resource Centre not to be brought to it’s fullest potential now that it is in our midst!
Otherwise, the scent of our disdain for past actions might pollute our progress in the present.Penny Allport, Wilson Creek
Sechelt council “short-sighted”
Do you want pharmaceuti-cals and hormones in your veg-etable gardens? If Chapman Creek reservoir gets to Stage 4 again this summer and we are looking for other options, then that is a possibility. It doesn’t have to be.
Instead, we could have fresh water, without pharmaceuti-cals and hormones, from the new Sechelt Water Resource Centre in order to water our veggies and grow our food lo-cally.
Sechelt Council is being envi-ronmentally irresponsible and short-sighted not to take the funding from the Green Munici-palities Fund so that we have a backup in case of drought, now and in the future. Where are our environmentalists on the coast and why aren’t they be-hind this plan?
This Council wants to be seen as the “frugal” Council, but all the money that taxpayers pay into sewers, by law has to be used for sewers – not road paving or other infrastructure projects as Councillor Doug Wright seems to believe. Being frugal doesn’t necessarily mean being smart.
Councillor Wright says that he doesn’t want to do an “experiment”. But globally, countries are trying to find a way to recycle our dwindling water supplies. The Suzuki Foundation lists Fresh Water as one of its main five issues. Closer to home, both Sechelt’s OCP and the Sustainability Plan emphasize innovation
and sustainability.Down the road, there is the
possibility of selling this great water to agricultural and in-dustrial operations on the coast, a clear benefit to Sechelt.
Is our Council being penny-wise and pound-foolish by not realizing that fresh water is a serious matter? It makes a lot of sense to get on with it. Otherwise, they risk looking vengeful towards the previous Council by having nothing to do with the new Water Resource Centre, rather than using it to look after Sechelt’s future.Nancy Wright, West Sechelt
The parent’s jobMr. Maser’s editorial (“News
that hurts”, April 30) seems to take the same “I’m not capable of raising my own children” litany that is becoming so popular. Parents are expecting “medically untrained” school teachers to preform medical tests on their children. The Gov-ernment is now being forced to teach children the dangers of drugs, guns and gangs. Now you want controls on what adults can watch on a newscast that keeps us informed. It is the parent’s choice as to what the children watch, who they asso-ciate with and the lifestyle they choose. You choose to be a par-ent, take the responsibility that is part of the job.Lori Edwards, Gibsons
Thanks to vaccines, smallpox has been eradicated; parents in the Western Hemisphere no longer worry about their chil-dren coming down with polio each summer, as they did in the 1950’s; and today’s medical graduates no longer fear cases of epiglottitis and meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), as I did in my early years of practice. Last week was National Immunization Awareness Week in Canada, an opportunity to reflect on one of the greatest achievements in medicine: the development of vaccines. Global village causes concern at home
Some Canadian parents choose not to vaccinate their chil-dren, and feel safe in doing so because of the blanket of protec-tion provided by other children around them who are vacci-nated. However, recent outbreaks of measles in Canada, many traced to unvaccinated children and youth who acquired the virus abroad and brought it home, have been cause for con-cern. These imported cases have exposed pregnant women, infants too young to be vaccinated, and children receiving can-cer treatment whose suppressed immune systems put them at high risk from measles exposures. As a result of these out-breaks, there is now greater understanding amongst the pub-lic that vaccination is not only critical for our personal protec-tion and our children’s health, but also for the protection of vulnerable adults and children around us. Developing new vaccines
Some experts say we have developed all the easy vaccines, and now all new vaccines are challenging. Most vaccines are developed by the pharmaceutical industry, and if the disease is rare, or only found in poor, developing countries, they may not want to make the investment – think of Ebola vaccine. Other diseases prove to be a challenge even with large investments; HIV was identified more than 30 years ago, but a vaccine has proved elusive despite massive research efforts.
We can all do our part to continue to spread the success of immunizations. A few suggestions:
1. Parents can make sure their children’s vaccinations are up-to-date:
a. check for the schedule of free vaccines at immunizebc.ca/vaccine-schedules
b. check for additional vaccines that you can purchase to offer more protection to your children at vch.ca/media/VCH-vaccines-NACI-2015.pdf
2. Adults shouldn’t forget about immunizations – for example, young adults may need a measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) booster, and shingles vaccine can be offered to everyone aged 50 years and older. Check for vaccines that are available for free and purchase: vch.ca/media/VCH-public-and-private-vaccines-adult.pdf
3. All of you planning on travelling outside North America or Europe this spring and summer should visit a travel clinic for pre-travel advice and vaccination: travelclinic.vch.ca/

HSPP Boiler Annual MaintenanceMay 18 - 29
Howe Sound Pulp and Paper Corporation will be conduction the annu-al maintenance of its wood waste boiler on May 18 - 29, 2015. Over a period of approximately 10 days, the mill’s wood and waste boiler will be shut down while it is maintained.
The work involves annual shut down to perform internal inspections, preventative and routine maintenance. Proper maintenance of the boil-er keeps it clean, efficient and reliable. This effort translates into sus-taining HSPP green power supply for all British Columbians through our connection to the grid.
During the boiler shut down, the low concentration odours from the mill’s gases, which are normally incinerated, will be vented. While HSPP does not expect local air quality to exceed provincial odour lim-its, we have implemented additional procedures to monitor and react to continuous air quality measurements made at HSPP ambient air monitoring station in Langdale.
Howe Sound Pulp and Paper Corporation operates a market kraft mill and paper machine in Port Mellon, BC with an annual production ca-pacity of 450,000 tonnes of pulp and 230,000 tonnes of newsprint. The company employs 520 people and is the backbone of the lower Sunshine Coast’s economy.

Hundreds of residents of Pender Harbour are girding for a battle over the Dock Management Plan the pro-vincial government negoti-ated with the shíshálh First Nation.
“We haven’t been given a chance for our concerns to be heard,” moderator Sean McAllister told an overflow crowd at a community meet-ing Saturday, May 2 at the Pender Harbour Community Hall.
The gathering was orga-nized by the Pender Harbour Advisory Council and the Pender Harbour Chamber of Commerce to help formulate a response to the draft Dock Management Plan (DMP).
Residents raised concerns at the meeting about the ex-pense of getting approval for building or rebuilding docks; the possible negative effect the DMP could have on prop-erty values; and whether or not dock “tenures” could be inherited, or transferred when properties changed owners.
But most of the anger ex-pressed at the meeting was directed at the provincial government for not consult-ing area residents in creating the plan. Others pointedly questioned the motives of the shíshálh, alluding to the DMP as a potential cash cow.
Property owner Ron Nel-son said that although the plan was part of reconcilia-tion with the First Nation, it was having the opposite ef-fect in Pender Harbour.
“It has been cooked up, this deal, between the Province and the SIB (shíshálh Indian Band), in closed doors, and we haven’t had any input,” Nelson said. “So instead of reconciliation it’s actually been alienating.”
“We want 12 years, too,”
Anger spills over at Pender dock meeting
another resident said, in ref-erence to the length of time it reportedly took to negotiate the DMP with the shíshálh.
Others at the meeting won-dered why the government was “picking on Pender Har-bour.” Another said he’d been told by government spokes-men that the area was a test case for the whole province and that similar DMPs would be imposed everywhere, even on inland lakes.
Lawyer Cindy Taylor told the gathering that it was her understanding that the whole notion of the federal government delegating ne-gotiating rights for ocean wa-ters to the province was un-constitutional. One speaker later called for a class-action lawsuit to block the plan.
The DMP, unveiled at an April 11 open house at the community hall, establishes four zones ranging from a red zone where no new docks can be built, through purple and yellow zones, where several restrictions apply, to a green zone, where getting permission to build or re-build a dock would be rela-tively simple.
The Government has said the intention of the DMP is to preserve marine habitats for all stakeholders, and to protect sites of potential ar-cheological significance to the shíshálh.
Consultants, including a registered archeologist, would be required to inspect new or rebuilt dock sites be-fore construction. Those who spoke at the meeting quoted costs of those consultations at anywhere from $500 to $5,000 or more.
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which is han-dling the DMP file and has re-peatedly said it is only a draft
and can be altered, initially gave area residents until May 11 to submit comments. That deadline has been extended to June 10.
Organizers said they were collecting all the questions and comments and planned to submit them to the minis-try along with a petition op-posing implementation of the draft DMP.
No representative of the shíshálh spoke to the meet-ing, but Powell River-Sun-shine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons did come to their de-fence.
“I’m sorry this is impact-ing on people’s perception of the shíshálh Nation,” said Simons. “But we don’t need to ramp up the rhetoric; we need answers from the gov-ernment.”
Simons also said that For-ests Minister Steve Thomp-son had admitted to him that his ministry had bungled communications with the Pender Harbour community.
Frank Mauro, the Pender Harbour Director on the Board of the Sunshine Coast Regional District, noted that the SCRD had not been “a party to formulating this plan.”
SCRD Board Chair Garry Nohr added: “We will meet with the First Nation to pass on a lot of the concerns.”
As the meeting ended, organizers announced that shíshálh Chief Calvin Craigan had agreed to be part of a May 20 panel discussion at the community hall on “the SIB’s future intentions in Pender Harbour.” Also taking part would be Simons, Mauro and MP John Weston. The orga-nizers said that “only respect-ful written questions will be accepted” for the panel. Rik Jespersen

I just love dropping in on a rehearsal, and the Cheshire cat had nothing on me, as I sat in the basement of St Bart’s church, grinning away. I was watching the kids from the Driftwood Theatre School put the finishing touches on Alice in Wonderland. What impressed me most was how easy it was to forget that these were kids! As actors were busy in scene, the waiting characters, various-ly dressed as rabbits, knaves,

playing cards, shrubberies and Tweedles, sat in chairs quietly awaiting their turns, conserv-ing their energies, focused. No one was disruptive or fidgety. Such professional demeanor on a sunny Sunday afternoon from kids as young as seven!
The costumes (thanks to the Driftwood Costume Shoppe, and some very skillful par-ents) are fabulous! So are the sets and props (thanks to stage manager Sandi McGinnis, and set builder Doug Ives), and when these are in place on the real stage at Heritage Hall they will be glorious.

Performance Troupe studied three plays, debating the mer-its of each, before voting and choosing The Musical-Panto version of Alice in Wonderland by Doris Russel. Auditions and rehearsals began in Janu-ary. Sixteen year old Elisabeth Lyle, who has been with the group since inception, earned the roll of Alice. To fill the many supporting roles, younger ac-tors from the intro class and the family fun class were called up, in all twenty-five kids from seven to sixteen. It is heart-warming to see this mixed-age group work together as a team.
Instructor and Director Ingrid Bilton has been teach-ing for more than thirty years and she describes this group of young actors as some of the most talented she has come across. During the final re-hearsals, Bilton’s instructions and suggestions are few, and
rarely repeated; the kids own these roles now, and take re-sponsibility for getting it right.
Panto is rowdy, rhythmic, rhyming, crammed with action and laughs, and often features gender role switching (here the nasty Knave of Hearts is a girl—Skylar Moore, and the Duchess is a boy—Quinton Ruth), which means these kids have to un-derstand their lines, actions, staging, how to work the props, they have to muster the neces-sary intensity to deliver all of the above, AND they have to get the jokes. It’s a lot to ask, and I was consistently impressed.

The Local - Thursday, May 7, 2015 7
After a long fight, the Of-ficial Opposition got docu-ments that the Liberals want-ed to hide which showed they had quickly sold off public land at below market value to individuals who were large donors to their Party, in or-der to claim a balanced bud-get. The government said it had nothing to do with their promise to balance the bud-get, which begs the question ‘why did you sell our land so cheaply?’
In the Tyee, a Provincial on-line news website that covers important issues, Journalist Bob Mackin, docu-mented how every time there was bad news affecting the BC Liberals, they would come out with some good news about liquor law changes. Last month they introduced the “Special Wine Store Li-
cence Auction Act”, aka Bill 22, which fails to make any-one happy. It does about six things the government promised they wouldn’t do –including putting new li-quor outlets next to existing ones, selling licences only to the highest bidders (read: billionaires), and giving a discount to some stores over others, thus undermining the Minister’s promise of a “level the playing field”. The Oppo-sition will vote against this Bill.
Recently the CEO of BC Ferries decided to try to help government fend off criti-cisms of their mishandling of the Ferries file for over a de-cade. He suggested the com-plaints were keeping tourists from the U.S. and from “back East” from visiting. If these tourists are staying away because they hear how ex-pensive ferries are, then they are hearing how expensive ferries are. If there are sto-ries about how expensive ferries are, then maybe they should consider lowering the prices. Lower prices will
stimulate the economy as Gordon Campbell once said. Sometimes I miss Gordon Campbell.
I recently had the pleasure of attending a Pender Har-bour event that was not strife with concerns over rights and title. The April Tools event, promoted and hosted by the Living Heritage Society, was a success again. Later in the day I was able to attend the boxing matches at the Gib-sons and Area Community Centre, and then Earth Day in Roberts Creek with Slim and the godchildren on Sunday.
The Day of Mourning was April 28th –a day set aside to remember those who have been injured or killed while working. Let’s remember not to tolerate unsafe conditions at work.

Hello Special Olympics Sports Fans! The next few articles will focus on sports available during our spring/summer season.
Softball takes place at Hackett Park Tuesdays from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm and is coached by Randy Young-husband. The team is now dubbed “The Ravens”.
On Saturday, May 2nd, the Coquitlam Tigers came over for a double header with the Sunshine Coast Ravens at Kinnickinick Park where they played two wonderful games of softball in the warm sun-shine, under blue skies.
During the first game, The Ravens showed dominance, with a four-point lead using dynamic homeruns and ex-cellent pitching. There were some great outs at 1st base as well.
After the first game both teams came together for hot dogs and hamburgers served by wonderful volunteers. Then they gathered for team photos, smiling for the many snapshots.
The second game again showed the Ravens power and will to succeed. At one point, one athlete’s hit ran three players home. Just by watching the two games I

Horoscope
Michael O’ConnerAstrologer
Tip of the Week:Our world or, more specifi-
cally, modern civilization is tak-ing a sharp turn. Many changes from new and pivotal advances in technology rising daily to new surveillance laws being introduced which present no-tions of protecting people yet which severally limit rights and freedoms, to changes made with very little public notice to national constitutions, to the legalization of marijuana in various states, to a global economic slowdown including mass layoffs produced by dras-tic changes in the price of oil, and the list goes on….
These are all synchronizing with powerful planetary align-ments and sign positions. Ura-nus and Pluto in particular are both in Cardinal signs which indicate pioneering initiatives and new beginnings of all kinds. The fact that they have been forming a close and pow-erful square aspect over the past few years and will experi-ence yet one more in January 2016 suggests that we are not through this powerful turn yet, not even close.
The main challenge as ever is our capacity to adapt to these changes and the social realities that are undergoing the revolu-tionary changes that are syn-chronizing with them. This is where Astrology can help a lot. It provides an objective per-spective woven with themes and timing that can prove very useful very navigating through these turbulent times and waters. On my website under Readings you can learn more about the many angles of per-spective available.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Your ambitions have been
running high and there is rea-son to say you are on a roll. Meanwhile other circumstanc-
es are emerging that require your time and attention as well. Sometimes we are challenged to set aside our own interests to assist others, above and be-yond business as usual. This is likely to be one of those times and the scope and scale may be quite large.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A process of steadily forging ahead continues. In the bigger picture many deep, powerful and pervasive changes in your life are underway. Looking back, these began about 2.5 years ago and this process is not over yet. In the more imme-diate picture, diversifying your focus for the sake of security, fi-nancial, emotional and perhaps otherwise is a main focus.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
A busy time tending to mat-ters behind the scenes are keeping you busy. The tasks implied may require added measures of courage and emo-tional self-control. Fortunately, your focus stands to be clear and strong now supporting you to concentrate and tend to the details amidst diverse fronts. Working cooperatively with certain authorities is part of this plot.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Your sense of individuality is shining these days. It is reveal-ing your beauty and you feel in-spired to express your feelings. Yet, the simultaneous need to set aside certain personal feel-ings for the sake of being open to strategies you have not tried before is likely. This focus may well include learning new skills as well which requires a more objective perspective.Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)
Getting seen, heard and gen-erally recognized continues. This is an auspicious time for opening new lines of commu-nication. To this end be sure to exercise full diplomacy for best results. Meanwhile, do-ing various sorts of inner work and clearing is also implied. This can be described as focus-ing to produce conscious and subconscious agreements.Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Breaking habitual percep-tion patterns is a key to your
personal power now. This in-cludes nurturing your sense of individuality. Focus to access hidden reserves of faith. See-ing a wider expanse of reality and perhaps a deeper one too is implied. Call it ‘thinking out-side of your usual box’. Doing so may require added mea-sures of courage and concen-tration.Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Clearing the old to make way for the new continues. In the process you may replace aspects of existing beliefs and perspectives. You may even produce alterations to your basic philosophy of life. These will influence your attitude towards important relation-ships. Meanwhile, you feel ambitious and are determined to add a few tools to leverage your employment opportuni-ties.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Taking a deliberate ap-proach to nurture budding relationships is in focus now. It remains important to exer-cise extra measures of temper-ance, not allowing an over en-thusiastic attitude to lead you to come on too strong. Your perceptions should prove ex-tra sharp these days affording some penetrating insights to use and share. Like handling a sharp knife, however, exercise extra care.Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21)
An important work focus has begun for you. The emphasis may be on your health or quali-ty of lifestyle in general and not just your actual employment. To this end it may prove helpful to identify consumption habits that you like but which do not like you. In other words, do you have allergies, do you over indulge, do you drink enough water…? Quality in, quality out.Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19)
A creative, playful, sporting and perhaps even romantic cycle continues. Exchanges of rich emotion are likely, serving to embellish the mood. With your critical faculties running high, you may even be inspired to share profound and even poetic thoughts. Meanwhile returns for past efforts are roll-

A good deal of shifting and shaking close to home contin-ues this week. Circumstances are pushing you to give more than usual. As your public outreach steadily expands you are challenged to meet the de-
mand. There is added reason for you to feel optimistic caus-ing any extra efforts required to feel easier. As well, you are in a creative and playful mood so are game for just about any-thing.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
A busy time making plans and executing the initiatives to set them in motion contin-

Pressures to adapt to changes in your public and professional life may be the source of stress and uncertain-ty. Balance paying extra atten-tion to the details with trusting the flow.

Celebrate Mom on Mother’s DayMother’s Day is the one
day each year when men, women and children gather to honour the mothers in their lives. Though it can be challenging to find new and unique ways to display your affection for Mom on Mother’s Day, rest assured that sometimes the sim-plest concepts are the ones mothers most appreciate. This year, look no further than the following ideas for some inspiration as you aim
to make this Mother’s Day as special as possible for the mother or mothers in your life.
• Give the gift of sweet treats. What better way to highlight mom’s sweetness than with some delicious treats made just for her? Whether you decide to whip up some homemade confections in the kitchen or visit a nearby store for something decadent, mom will no doubt appreciate the
chance to indulge on her big day. Pair with a cup of tea, coffee or whichever bever-age mom prefers to comple-ment her favourite treat.
• Make a meal to remem-ber. Mom deserves a night off from dinner detail, and while dining out is an op-tion, a homemade meal may come across as more in-timate and heartfelt. Thanks to kitchen appliances that make it easier than ever to prepare gourmet meals at

Wow! You have had a look in the past few issues of the Local at
some of the lines we carry, now look at the collage.
What you saw is only the tip of the iceberg.
You must come in, spend some time
to browse and try on- no need to buy but perhaps just add
your favorites to your wish list and when you are ready to purchase you know
what fi ts you best and feels comfortable. Oh yes,
if your bra is a bit uncomfortable then it is not
healthy and very irritating as well; no more
hitching your straps; remember warmer weather
is coming!
See you soon,
Marilyn

Celebrate Mom on Mother’s DayFor the mom in your life…sweet treats and a meal she didn’t make
home, you can now make restaurant-style meals in your kitchen without sac-rificing restaurant-quality taste. Present mom with her favorite Asian-inspired poultry-and-rice dish or use a cooker to easily bake bread or steam a side of vegetables. Pair the meal with her fa-vourite wine and make sure you handle all the cleanup.
• While mom waits for dinner to be served, a sooth-ing cup of tea can set the
tone for a relaxing evening. • Plan a Mother’s Day pic-
nic. Busy moms may look forward to a break from the bustle of daily routines. An afternoon picnicking out-doors can be the ideal way to enjoy a special Mother’s Day. Plan an easy menu of foods that have portability. A refreshing fruit salad can be kept cool for about 8 hours. If mom prefers pasta primavera, a thermal con-tainer can keep it warm and
ready until it’s time to enjoy.Metro
