At its 8th Annual Wom-an of Achievement

event on Wednesday, April 16, 2014 Girls Incorporated of Taunton, Massachussetts, honoured Roberts Creek resident Sarah Doherty – a Taunton native and Girls Inc. alumna. The award is meant to inspire and em-power other women to cre-ate change in their commu-nity. It allows Girls Inc. to highlight and applaud the

work of inspiring women on the local level while sup-porting its mission to in-spire all girls to be strong, smart and bold.

Family, friends, business associates, organization rep-resentatives and supporters of Girls Inc. of Taunton joined together to celebrate Doherty’s service as a posi-tive role model and inspira-tional member of the com-munity. Board member

Gill Enos presented a State House citation from Taunton’s Mayor Thomas Hoye, Senator Marc Pa-checo and State Represen-tative Keiko Orrall. State Rep. Shaunna O’Connell presented a resolution that was voted and passed upon by the state.

In 1973, while riding her bicycle, Doherty was struck by a drunk driver. Although the promising young ath-

lete’s right leg had to be amputated, she drew from her independent spirit and continued piloting her own adventure. The first woman amputee to climb Mt. Rain-ier (1984) and Mt. McKin-ley (1985) without an arti-ficial limb, Doherty became an occupational therapist and a mother of three. In 2003, Sarah’s quest for rec-reational freedom and love of the outdoors led her and

her partner in business and life, Kerith Perreur-Lloyd, to invent and patent “Side-Stix” – a high performance forearm crutch system which promotes healthy, active, adventurous explora-tion of the world around us.

GreenJobsBC will be holding a town hall event on Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m. at the Kinsmen Hall, 399 Aldersprings Road (in Dougall Park) in Gibsons to discuss possibilities for a green economy, and get feedback from citizens about their goals for creat-ing local jobs that are good for the economy and the environment. The town hall will bring together members of the commu-nity including labour and environmental groups to have a constructive conver-sation on how to achieve

these goals. Residents of the Sun-

shine Coast are encour-aged to attend and join GreenJobs BC’s co-chairs BCGEU President Darryl Walker and Lisa Matthaus of Organizing for Change, and other speakers to hear about possibilities for cre-ating green jobs, and to share local visions for their community.

“B.C. needs bold and purposeful policy and ac-tion to build an economy that creates sustainable livelihoods for British Co-lumbians while dealing

with climate change,” says BCGEU President Dar-ryl Walker. “We know that British Columbia can cre-ate green jobs while lower-ing its GHG emissions.”

“Creating green jobs is a very real option for BC, but we need to hear from communities about how to work together to achieve this. These conversations will contribute to a vision for a green economy that includes all of BC, from cities to resource commu-nities,” says Lisa Matthaus of Organizing for Change.Submitted

Esprit raising the roofEsprit Day Care is a

non-profit child care facil-ity providing families with affordable early childhood development and care in our community at our fa-cility behind Elphinstone Secondary School. We are volunteer driven. Our facil-ity needs a new roof, and we are raising funds through a Mother’s Day Flower and Plant Sale on Saturday, May 10 from 10 to 3 pm in the parking lot behind Elphie. We’ll have flower baskets, seedlings, perennials and a great raffle.

We hope everyone will come and enjoy the day – rain or shine.Rita Koutsodimos, Gibsons

Political extremism?Political extremism is

rarely successful and can never be effective in a de-mocracy. Yet, we seem to be, once again, experiencing this type of radical idealism in Gibsons. Gibsons Alli-ance of Business and Com-munity Society (GABC) states environmental health as one of their values: “We support the Precautionary Principle as our commu-nity’s most prudent guide when facing environmental and public policy decisions that will have an impact on human health or air, land, and marine environments.” Yet, when I asked about the Society’s position on the Metro Vancouver waste in-cinerator project, the query was summarily dismissed. Is it because the proposed incinerator will be in Port Mellon and not Gibsons?

Well, that can’t be, as the Fu-ture of Howe Sound Society is mentioned on the GABC website. And air does travel – polluted or otherwise, so I believe this to be a Sunshine Coast issue.

The Wilderness Commit-tee, David Suzuki Foun-dation, Sierra Club and Greenpeace all expound on the dangers of waste incin-eration. Yet, GABC does not have a position. That seems very odd to me.

The GABC’s current op-position of the proposed George hotel seems as though it is not about the George, it’s about the per-ception of corporations and wealth. GABC shows an obvious disconnect to how our society remains inclu-sive and how our society supports the infrastructure and amenities that we all clearly appreciate.

Robert F. Kennedy said, “What is objectionable, what is dangerous about ex-tremists is not that they are extreme but that they are intolerant.” While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion on the proposed George Hotel, let’s remem-ber that there are other im-portant issues that will need our collective attention to assess and determine the fu-ture of the Sunshine Coast. Will this future include burning Metro Vancouver’s garbage?Michele March, Gibsons

Tell MMBC ‘no thanks’Editor’s Note: The

following letter was cir-culated to elected officials and copied to The Local

Weekly for publication.The more that is learned

about Multi-MaterialsBC (MMBC), the more con-fused things become. It is not too late to tell MMBC “No Thanks” and continue with what we have, while our community waits for this plan to be framed up properly. It is nowhere near ready for launch, way too many unknowns. It is not clear if some of the PPP materials collected would be burned in Burnaby’s gar-bage incinerator, or in an incinerator which may be coming to our community.

Remember, the Provin-cial Government mandated that we have a Solid Waste Management Plan, that it be updated every five years. This was complied with at a huge cost over the years. We have a good solid waste plan and recycling program. Now the Province says in ef-fect, “We’re scrapping your Solid Waste Plan, now you will feed your recyclables through a single stream col-lection program (MMBC) and pay the cost that MMBC will impose.”

Consider this, the prov-ince is granting MMBC exclusive control over recy-cling. Whatever the price MMBC quotes to SCRD today, what do you think the price will be when the contract with MMBC comes up for renewal, when MMBC is the only game in town and we have NO OP-TIONS?

Have you considered the economic repercussions to the Sunshine Coast and job loss in this MMBC picture?Vel Anderson, Gibsons

Evidence-obscured medicine

In his letter of April 17, Gor-don Politeski recommended a book about “evidence-based medicine” by Children’s Hos-pital of Philadelphia Chief of Infectious Diseases, Paul Offit. In a recent interview on CBC’s The Current about mandating measles vaccine, Offit carefully avoided evi-dence-based medicine except for one brief segment: he ad-mitted that it would be “very hard to prove” that a case of measles was contracted from a measles-infected unvaccinated person because “the virus mu-tates fairly frequently.”

But an April 16 Financial Post article by Lawrence Solo-mon, research director of Con-sumer Policy Institute, refers to several studies in reputable science journals which provide evidence that both pre-and post-vaccine, serious com-plications and deaths from measles have mostly been due to poverty and underlying conditions; that, according to Clinical Pediatrics, pre-vaccine measles was “typically a benign childhood disease;” that post-vaccine adults constitute one quarter to one half of cases, most of them complicated with pneumonia; and that vaccinated expectant women, their unborn babies and their infants are more at risk than those with natural measles immunity. I find it interesting that an advocate for the envi-ronment and “excellence and efficiency within public ser-vice institutions” would pro-vide more scientific evidence than North America’s leading vaccine crusader.Susan Fletcher, Sechelt

Whadda ya gonna do?About 250 years ago, an Irish philosopher and founder of

modern conservatism, Edmond Burke, began publishing. As is common with those who begin revolutionary move-ments (and yes, at the time, conservatism was revolution-ary) he got all the best lines. Burke is probably best known for the widely-quoted aphorism, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”

Across the intervening years since those words first ap-peared in print, good men have taken stands against evil – and good men have remained seated and left the fight to others. We wrote last week about two good men – Gary Feschuk and Calvin Craigan – leading the charge against dirty coal travelling through our offshore waters, holding government agencies legally responsible. We’ve written about the good people of Zero Waste Canada, the Sunshine Coast Clean Air Society and others fighting against inciner-ators and MMBC’s one-size-fits-no one waste management system. Many individuals – like feisty Gibsons Councillor Charlene SanJenko – are standing up to add their voices to the chorus. But other groups we might expect to take a firm stand remain silent, content to let others speak for them. Whatever their reason, their silence can be construed as consent, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary.

It’s not easy to speak up, particularly in a time in which modern media, social and standard, encourages everyone to provide an instant response to every situation, and igno-rance of the various ramifications of the situation does not stand in anyone’s way. Having and holding an opinion that may be contrary to the prevailing winds of public opinion (and that public can be windy) requires a particular level of bravery.

This is an election year; residents will go to the polls on November 15 to choose their local government representa-tives. Who will run? Who – in this climate of entitled carp-ing criticism – would want to?

Good men – and women – are actually discouraged from running by the weekly example of residents mounting vi-cious attacks against anyone who does not agree with them. So who triumphs, then? According to Burke, it’s evil that will win out, and indeed to silence opposition through sheer volume or by wearing it down by repetitious rhetoric is not a Good Thing.

Two centuries ago, Burke noted that “It is a general popu-lar error to suppose the loudest complainers for the publick to be the most anxious for its welfare.” Like we said – he got all the good lines. And human nature, in 250 years, has ensured that those lines still hold true.Heather Jeal, Editor

Gibsons Elementary School is scheduled to wel-come students and staff into a new school build-ing for the start of the 2014/15 school year. After many years on a waiting list for replacement of the old GES, building the new school started with a for-mal groundbreaking cer-emony on May 3, 2013. It has been a busy place ever since. This month students are already using the new all weather field and the pathways between the fields and around the play areas are open for commu-nity and students alike.

Excitement builds as school nears completionthe roof is nearing comple-tion. The move for class-room contents is anticipat-ed for the last week in June with the summer to be spent putting the final touches to the new school, and demoli-tion of the old building to make way for paving and landscaping of the entrance area. Paving of the upper area for access into the new Neighbourhood Learning Centre will start very soon.

The design of the school and especially the entries and play areas has put safety of students and use of natu-ral light and multiple play areas as a priority. The colour scheme has been selected and there is lovely ambient light in all upper hallways. The project will include a paved outdoor basketball court and covered bike stor-age as well as much more organized space for pick up

and drop off areas. Parents are already fundraising for new playground equipment and exploring ideas about a community garden outside the Neighbourhood Learn-ing Centre.

Teachers are excited about their new classrooms and the move in June. The community will see the construction crews move to the outside of the school in the coming weeks as the last of the earth moving makes way for finished play spaces and access.

Thank you from School District 46 for the patience and cooperation of all par-ents, community members and project workers. We are all excited to celebrate the opening of a state of the art building in the fall for the use of our students, employees and the whole community.

Not all astronomy re-quires a telescope or bin-oculars. Going outside on a clear night and looking up at the stars is the best way to become oriented to the night sky.

How can we quickly tell which stars and constella-tions are above our hori-zon on any given hour and time of the year? With an easy to use planisphere! A more tech savvy way is to use an App, such as GoS-kyWatch on your iPhone, or Google Sky Map and Star Chart on your an-droid; or use an easily recognized constellation such as the Big Dipper as a guide.

Most people know this asterism (grouping of stars) in the constellation Ursa Major which is visible locally at all times of the year. The second star from the end of the handle is Mizar which, on closer ex-amination, is actually two binary stars, Mizar and Al-cor. Ages ago the ability to resolve the two stars with the naked eye was used as a test of a person’s eyesight!

The two pointer stars at the end of the scoop point to Polaris, and Ursa Minor, the Little Dipper. Polaris, the North Star, has been used by mariners for centuries to find ‘north.’

Follow the arc of the handle of the Big Dipper to Arcturus, the brightest star in the constellation Bootes. Continue that arc to Spica in the constella-tion Virgo. Another useful guide coming up in the

Viewing the sky with the naked eye (Part I)

summer sky are the three stars of the Summer Tri-angle – Deneb, Vega, and Altair. With only these few signposts, you can star-hop to any place in the heavens.

The moon is always in-teresting to observe with the naked eye. Use lu-nar maps to pick out the various ‘seas’ and craters. Early impacts produced craters that were partially or completely obscured by the subsequent lava flows that created the dark ma-ria, but younger craters like Copernicus and Tycho are surrounded by rays of bright ejecta not covered by lava. Particularly spec-tacular are events like the recent total lunar eclipse.

Through May and June the planets provide great naked eye viewing with Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in the evening sky, and

Venus at dawn. But in the last two weeks of May and first week in June, Mer-cury rises into the western sky for its best appearance of the year.

The public is welcome to attend the Royal Astro-nomical Society meeting on Friday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunshine Coast Art Centre. Guest speaker Dr. Jeremy Heyl from UBC will speak on black holes and other phenom-ena in “The Multiwave-length Sky.” Donations gratefully appreciated!

Friday, May 16, we’ll help you navigate the sky at AstroCafe, 8:30 p.m. at Pier 17 at Davis Bay, with telescopes set up on the sea-wall (weather permitting).

Next month, watch for Naked (Eye) Astronomy Part 2!

Working Together to Build Our Communities®

Winners of the 51st Annual Mine Safety Award

Lehigh Materials Sechelt Operation was recently awarded the Stewart/O’Brian Award for the second consecutive year. Their outstanding safety statistics including zero lost time accidents and minimal recordable incidents in 2013 proves “Safety is our #1 Priority.” Lehigh’s culture and initiative to accomplish zero harm daily will help ensure a safe and successful 2014.

The Management and Site Safety Team: (L-R) Keith Julius, Harry Wray, Gabe Morrelli, Laura Needham, Rick Demeter, Travis Anderson and Joachim Pierre.

Lehigh Hanson is part of the HeidelbergCement Group, one of the largest building materials manufac-turers worldwide. Our core business includes the pro-duction of cement and aggregates, both of which re-quire the mining of raw materials from a pit or quarry. These mining sites present a great variety of habitats for a number of species of animals and plants that are becoming increasingly marginalized in modern cul-tural landscapes that present low disturbances from human activities.

With a footprint of over 250 hectares and pro-ducing approximately 4 million tonnes of products per year, the Lehigh Hanson Materials Limited (Le-high) – Sechelt Mine is one of the largest aggregate mines in Canada.

The specific location of the Sechelt mine, being located close to communities and hospitals, on the Sechelt Band Lands, a popular holiday destination and within environmentally sensitive areas presents a variety of community and environmental challenges.

Lehigh recently participated in a climate change research study at the Sechelt Mine site. The focus of study was the mitigation of climate change through land reclamation with biosolids. One of the primary findings was that soil carbon storage was greater in areas reclaimed with biosolids compared to similar ar-eas reclaimed with conventional techniques. Conven-tional techniques include the use of synthetic fertilizer and/or overburden placement only. Results from this

research suggest that use of bio-solids, either alone or as part of a manufactured topsoil, results in higher carbon storage than use of overburden or conventional fertilizer for reclamation. These findings demonstrate the use of biosolids at the Sechelt Mine re-duces Lehigh’s carbon footprint.

A mining site pro-vides a great va-riety of land-scapes and habitats that present low disturbances from human ac-tivities. As a leading cement and aggregates producer, HeidelbergCe-ment is committed to managing biodiversity dur-ing and after extraction. In more than 1000 quarries and pits worldwide we strive to promote the excep-tional local flora and fauna.

The Quarry Life Award is Heidelberg’s international scientific and educational competition promoting ecology and biodiversity in mining areas. Students in more than 20 countries are invited to submit research proposals at over 65 of the company’s participat-ing quarries world-wide. The winning proposals are

Nature is the biggest winner

accepted to carry out their field research and top prizes are awarded by a jury of international biodiver-sity experts. This year, the Sechelt Mine accepted two proposals from university students to further their research ideas in the field at our mine site over the summer. Both proposals aim to raise the awareness and increase our knowledge of the high biodiversity value at the Sechelt Mine and Lehigh’s commitment to responsible mining and environmental protection.

Walk the Historic ‘Wagon Trail’ across the Elphinstone Slopes

Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) will be leading a group across a key section of the Trailfest Wagon Rd Trail (Wagon Trail). Formerly a skid trail, where a team of oxen would pull timber selectively logged back in the Coastal pioneer days, it’s now a popular hiking and biking route of both local and national significance.

‘Wagon Trail’ passes through a deep-green forest, crosses numerous step-pool streams that support ideal amphibian habitat. The trail has been impacted by clearcut logging and not been properly restored to any semblance of its original state.

Our walk will also take us into one of the finest patches of ‘emerging’ old-growth forests left on the Elphinstone slopes. Expect to be awed by the wonders of this lush, jungle-like environment. ELF has been watching over this forest for several years now and had obtained a deferral on its cutting, however plans have arisen again that should alarm the community. Please join us to learn aboutforest ecology, local history and possible future environmental impacts.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 4 at 1PM. Meet alongthe B&K Rd. (off Hwy 101) at the powerlinesRound-trip: 3 to 4 hours.Hiking Level: ModerateBring snacks and water.

‘Storytelling through many lenses’On Campus

Jules Smith & Caroline DepatieCapilanoUniversity News

In partnership with Capilano U, the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Writ-ten Arts will once again host some of Canada’s most celebrated Aboriginal au-thors and storytellers at the Sunshine Coast Aboriginal Storytelling Festival, April 30 and May 1. Festival goers can expect to find traditional, contemporary, and multimedia storytellers weaving words with people of all ages at the free, all-ages events. The Aboriginal Storytelling Festival is a joint initiative of the Sun-shine Coast Festival of the Written Arts, the Sechelt Nation, School District No. 46 and Capilano Uni-

versity with the support of the Sunshine Coast Lit-eracy Coalition and the BC Arts Council.

The Sechelt Library will be hosting ‘Coast Reads’ with the authors of Fatty Legs, Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fen-ton on Wednesday, April 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt.

Other storytellers will include mus-swiya (Jamie Dixon), a Sechelt Nation elder; Kung Jaadee (Ro-berta Kennedy), a Haida singer, drummer and story-teller; a digital storytelling

team; and Winadzi (Simon Daniel James), co-creator of the popular animated se-ries, Raven Tales. Skookum Sound System’s Deano and Bracken will be performing their unique audio-visual mash-up of cutting edge and traditional Aboriginal sounds and images – story-telling through many lens-es. Many of the storytell-ers will be visiting schools, going into classrooms and weaving their magic with both elementary and high school students.

Catch all of the storytell-ers at the festival’s crowning, public event at 7 p.m. on May 1 at the Sechelt Indian Band Hall.

You can also follow the festival as it unfolds by ‘lik-ing’ us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/aboriginal-storytellingfestival.sun-shinecoast. See you there.

We change the world, one story at a time”

The Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society (SCSES) released 365,000 Pink Salmon fry into coastal waters in mid-April, with 115,000 released into Gibsons har-bour and 250,000 into the waters at Stalashen. The fry were acclimatized in net pens for three weeks prior to release. The Pink fry are all the offspring of the strong 2013 run, and should return to coastal waters in the fall of 2015.

The Town of Gibsons and the District of Sech-elt as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District provided support for the activities of the SCSES. The Sechelt Indian Band provided 250,000 Pink salmon eggs for this year’s release, as well as netting for use at Stalashen.

Each year SCSES releases upwards of a million salmon into coastal waters; the fry

Filmmaker and author Dianne Whelan presents a slideshow and talk based on her personal and eye-opening exposé, Base Camp: 40 Days on Everest, at the Gumboot Café in Roberts Creek on Friday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. Sharing gripping stories of Maoist revels, ava-lanches, and dead bodies sur-facing out of a dying glacier, Whelen offers a unique and personal perspective on the devastating human impact on the mountain.

Her time at Base Camp provided a personal perspec-tive on the recent avalanche tragedy on Everest, which happened ironically the day after she launched Base Camp (the book) at Cap-ilano University. Her final words to the audience noted

that the Sherpa community considers the mountain a goddess but that she left feel-ing Everest was a very mean mother. “More Sherpas have died on Everest then all the climbers from around the world added up together,” Whelan noted on a Face-book posting. “The locals speak throughout my book about their concerns of cli-mate change in the region. For Sherpas being on Everest is a job, a very dangerous job and with the glacier melting and increasingly unstable it may soon be a risk not worth pursuing.”

In her 2010 visit to Ever-est’s Base Camp, Whelan in-terviewed climbers, doctors and Sher pas, all living there for months on end as they wait for a weather window to

Whelan brings Everest to Gumboot CaféIt takes 40 days to know the mountain

Each spring, over eight hundred climbers attempt to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. Some make it to the top of what is considered the world’s most majes tic mountain, but others are not so lucky, and in the attempt to reach the elusive sum-mit, many more have tragically lost their lives.

summit the top of the world. Woven into these personal stories is the truth of the unforeseen effects of climate change. In coming to know the mountain and its peo-ple, Dianne confronted the truth of her own ambitions,

and the toll on her physical well-being and relationships. Through immersing herself in the challenging and capti-vating world of Base Camp, she discovered her own path away from ego to a place of humility and forgiveness.

The Rakish Angles re-turn to the Gibsons Heri-tage Playhouse on Satur-day, May 3 at 8 p.m. for a performance of mostly new acoustic material. The band that formed on the Sun-shine Coast in 2007 – now composed of Boyd Norman

(bass), Dan Richter (guitar), Ali Romanow (violin), and Simon Hocking (mando-lin) earned nominations for a 2009 Canadian Folk Mu-sic Award as well as 2010 and 2012 Western Cana-dian Music Awards.

Although the ensemble

began as an all-instrumen-tal string band, the unique genre-blending new acous-tic identity of the group has progressed into a mostly vo-cal repertoire. In the course of touring together across BC and Ontario, the group coalesced around melody,

Coast roots showing as Rakish Angles return to Gibsons harmony and vivid story-telling – a natural evolution for the current members of the band.

The Rakish Angles can be seen and heard at the 2014 Vancouver Island MusicFest or www.rakishangles.com.Submitted

A new Thursday Night Market will launch in Gibsons on June 19, run-ning weekly until late September. Deadline for vendors and entertainers to book booth or performance space (either single or multiple dates) is Wednesday, April 30.

The market follows the Richmond and Vancouver Chinatown Night Market model. Already, organizers have commitments from vendors of vintage accessories and wares, jew-ellery, chocolate, Jamaican patties, and caramel corn, hand-screened clothing, and T-shirts. The event also features entertainment by local musicians and a regular petting zoo for the kids.

Gibsons Thursday Night Market is organized and sponsored by the non profit S.P.A.C.E. (society for the pres-ervation of arts, culture and environ-ment). The group is actively seeking more food vendors, artisans, farmgate producers, children’s entertainers and face painters. Vendors may book for single or multiple dates. All partici-pants must pay a $25 membership fee, to help cover marketing costs. For more information or to book space contact Amber at 604-886-2079, email [email protected], or vis-it the event Facebook page: facebook.com/events/449939725138247/Submitted

Party Ponies and Farm Ventures invites everyone to come meet their farm animals, while supporting our injured local wildlife on Sunday, May 5 from noon to 3 p.m. This fun-draiser for Gibsons Wild-life Rehabilitation Centre (GWRC), held annually at the farm on 713 Sullivan Road (just below Highway 101 at West Reed Road) offers a fabulous adventure for all.

Join the farm tours and visit the Petting Farm, feeding the goat who walks on her hind legs, or a Tea Cup Pig who sits and makes faces. Get a kiss from Dodger the Llama. Talk to the horse, of course – and see if she talks back! Enjoy pony rides and games in a safe environ-ment. Sit back and enjoy coffee and homemade baked treats while lo-cal singer/songwriter and guitarist, Bonar, performs throughout the afternoon.

Clint and Irene Davy of GWRC will be on hand to explain their work and

Old Man’ of prairie fiction, returns to Sechelt for a sneak preview reading from his up-coming novel, Come Back, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 26 at the Arts Centre (corner of Trail and Medusa). Admis-sion by donation, courtesy of the Canada Council.

Wiebe won acclaim for his sympathetic portrayal of First Nations people, nota-bly in The Temptations of Big Bear (Governor General’s

Award 1973), The Scorched-Wood People, and A Discov-ery of Strangers, (Governor General’s Award 1994.) His dedication to the cause of the Aboriginal people extended to collaborating with Yvonne Johnson in Stolen Life: The Journey of a Cree Woman.

Wiebe also pioneered the representation of his Men-nonite people in fiction in novels extending from Peace Shall Destroy Many in

1962 to Sweeter Than All the World in 2001. His tribute to the people and the place that made him, Of This Earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest, won the Charles Taylor Prize for cre-ative non-fiction for 2006. His many other honours and distinctions include The Order of Canada and the Alberta Lieutenant Gov-ernor’s Distinguished Artist Award. Submitted

Spring’s arrival offers resi-dents exceptional opportu-nities to enjoy a range of wildlife activity – birds nest-ing, amphibians breeding, bees humming among the flowers, and turtle hatch-lings leaving their nests. To enhance the experience, the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project is encouraging resi-dents to welcome the wild kingdom into their neigh-bourhood, helping provide more habitat and shelter and reporting on sightings of local species for the proj-ect’s records. The project’s website (www.coastwild-life.ca) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/coast-wildlife) offer tips and dis-cussion forums for anyone wishing to build habitat, report sightings, or share photos. Keeping tabs on area wildlife can be a great activity for families.

Over the past six months, Anayansi Cohen-Fernandez launched the project’s Homes for Wildlife initiative with a series of workshops, presen-tations, and kids’ programs. Project coordinators David Stiles and Michelle Evelyn will be building on her ground-work and suggest getting the kids involved with a selection of activities including:Search for amphibians

Frogs, toads, salamanders and newts are all breeding at this time of year. Visit a pond, marsh, lake or wet-land to search for, identify and photograph amphibian egg masses. An identifica-tion guide is available on the project’s Facebook page. Turtle babies

Miniature Western Painted Turtle babies, each the size of a loonie, emerge from their underground nests near Pender Harbour area lakes during April and May. Proj-ect coordinators need volun-teers willing to check and re-port on nesting sites regularly.Bat roosts

Project coordinators are monitoring local bat popu-lations to understand their habitat associations and to better protect them against White Nose Syndrome, a deadly disease (affecting bats, not humans) which is expected to arrive in BC within the next five to 10 years. Residents with bat roosts on their property are asked to notify the Project.

Volunteers Rick O’Neill and Lou Drumond have created a number of kits for bat roosts, owl nest-ing boxes and mason bee houses which are offered free through the project’s Homes for Wildlife Pro-

Join the fun at beautiful Seafarer Mellennium Park, by the Government dock in Madeira Park as teams labour to build, launch and race a seaworthy boat in just three hours. Teams begin hammering at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 26 with a new ‘twist’ to be an-nounced just before they pick up their tools.

Meanwhile, on the lawn adjacent to the Harbour-master building, kids can build their own mini boats suitable for pond or bath-tub, and enjoy other crafts and activities. Adults and families can paddle or row watercraft in the harbour, enjoy a nosh at the Ro-tary barbecue, vote for the ‘Spiffy Skiffy,’ and take a chance on the 50/50 draw.

Races – always entertain-ing – start at 2 p.m., with competitions for Youth Tro-phy, adults, and just plain

Nature and nurture useful in treating child behavioral disorders

Studies indicate increasing interaction

with nature for children with

behavioral disorders can support attentional

functioning and minimize symptoms.

If you are parent or an adult that works with chil-dren or youth you may be aware of the increased diagnosis and cases of dis-orders such as ADHD, ADD,OCD, ODD, anxi-ety and depression, aggres-sion, violence, and eating disorders occurring with children today.

Some argue that this in-crease could be in part due to the change in cultural lifestyle and pace of life – that children’s lives are more scheduled and hectic, they spend more time in front of TV and computer screens with increased exposure to violent imagery, and there is less time for a healthy outlet of free physical imaginative play in nature.

According to author of Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv, who coined the term Nature Deficit Disorder, “Studies suggest that nature may be useful as a therapy for ADHD used with, or when appropriate even replacing, medications or behavioral therapies. Some researchers now rec-ommend that parents and educators make available more nature experiences – especially green places – to children with ADHD, and thereby support their at-tentional functioning and minimize their symptoms.”

Author of Simplicity Par-enting, Kim John Payne, M. Ed., a family therapist for over 20 years, suggests reducing the stress in chil-dren lives with “… a sim-

plification regime, with particular emphasis on simplifying environment (including dietary), screen media and schedules, as well as, the amount of informa-tion their child is absorbing, including dinner conversa-tion… 68 per cent of the children whose parents and teachers adhered to the pro-tocol went from clinically dysfunctional to clinically functional in four months.”

The homeopathic ap-proach, which uses rem-edies that have no harmful side effects and works with the body’s own innate heal-ing ability, looks at what is underlying the behav-ioral symptoms of the child and each child’s unique emotional symptoms and experiences beyond the di-agnosis. The effects of the initial dose of a homeo-pathic remedy can last for months, helping the child reach a more balanced state emotionally and behavior-

ally while addressing the child’s physical symptoms, such as headaches, digestion or hormonal imbalances, for example. Authors and practitioners, Judyth Re i c h e n b e r g - Ullman, N.D., L.C.S.W. and Robert Ullman, N.D., who both have extensive experience working in conventional mental health professions report in their books, Rage free Kids and Ritalin Free Kids, on their research illus-trated with case studies of children treated successfully homeopathically.

Even if your child has not been diagnosed, but is dis-playing challenging behav-iors it is recommended that these be addressed in the ear-ly stages, before they escalate. Many factors can contribute to behavioral disorders and how each child uniquely re-sponds to particular stressors play an important role when considering what changes and approaches to take.

Vancouver Coastal Health will provide a se-ries of Health Fairs, with screening and health in-formation for students entering Kindergarten in September. Fairs will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Gibsons Health Unit on Wednes-day, April 30, and at the Sechelt Health Unit on

Thursday, May 1 and Fri-day, May 2. Appointments are necessary: please call the Health Unit to book a time. Sessions last about 45 minutes.

The Health Fair offers vision, hearing, dental and speech screening, vital to detecting and correcting barriers to learning and development for early in-

tervention and treatment. Nurses and health profes-sionals will be on hand to provide immunizations, and information about community resources, health and nutrition, and advice for parents and care-givers. For more informa-tion, call the Health Unit at 604-885-5164 (Sechelt) or 604-886-5600 (Gibsons).

HENRy REEd PROdUcE NOW AvAILAbLE!

Tip of the Week:The Sun entered Taurus

on April 18 at 8:55 pm PDT. It did so in the wake of the now virtually infamous Car-dinal Grand Cross. Over the next four weeks the over-all dynamic will take on a particularly practical, sober and business-oriented focus. ‘Business’ is not specific to commerce here. It implies whatever is especially impor-tant in our lives

Amidst the usual daily tasks and those linked to this time of the year, like garden-ing and spring cleaning, this other, deeper and equally valid layer of focus is woven into the game plan for this time. Seeing healers and therapists of all kinds, open-ing to new, positive and em-powering wisdom or doing the inner work yourself are good and wise choices that represent alignment with this overall energy pattern. This inner work can begin by simply saying ‘thank you’ and/or ‘I forgive you’ with genuine sincerity. Morals and ethics aside, these ac-tions are keys to centering in the heart which is a golden key to health and happiness.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The time has come to re-

ally get down to business. By now you have probably activated a series of fresh leads and starts. Now it is time to build upon them, to take them to the next ef-fective level. This includes digging even deeper. Be-coming aware of subcon-scious patterns that are perpetuating certain fixed attitudes is a feature of this deep-end work.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

You are in a pioneering mood. Entering new terri-tory now implies nurturing important friendships. As-piring to achieve what may be deemed higher ideals is featured. While you likely are willing to work hard, key collaborations will save you a lot of time, energy and mon-ey. Reach out to strike win/win deals with warm leads.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Focusing on what con-stitutes your best and most important ‘homework’ is in focus. This can literally in-clude you home residence. It can also include studies, self-improvement and research for important projects and so on. Look to the future and decipher now what you can do to initiate realistic and wise momentums.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Deciphering who are truly

the most important people in your life is on you radar. There may be more than one category: friends, family, col-leagues and other such allies. These may be spiritual sourc-es as well: Jesus, Buddha, angels... Ideally, your focus will include your own inner power and authority as well.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Stepping into the lime-

light is destined to be all part of the job for you. Gaining added attention from fans and admirers and from au-thority figures too is part of the plot. Your light will shine even brighter when any ex-pectations are replaced with a genuine intention to be of service. This is especially important now. Put people before profits.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Expanding your vision

and focus on all fronts continues. This includes looking forward to future probabilities. Establishing a foundation for a whole new round of strategies and expressions is implied. New experiences, lessons and angles of approach beckon. This is a call to innovate and if necessary to re-invent yourself altogether.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Attending to financial

interests, issues and/or re-sponsibilities is likely now. Savings, earning and per-haps especially investments are on your mind. You may also be dealing with liabili-ties and paying off debts of some kind as well. These may not specifically be fi-nancial. Either way, you are

probably wise to trust the flow and pay your dues.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A recent twist and turn to-wards relationships finds you feeling the love, or longing to. While romance is implied, it may be woven with spiritual threads as well. Either way, there is reason to say you feel inspired. This trend will increase over the coming weeks. Though you may not go chasing it, prayers for it are streaming through your heart and mind.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Doing the work to clear, purge and downsize con-tinues. You are prepared to really roll-up your sleeves. Thoughts, discussions and actions center upon new per-spectives on security. Some-times, less truly is more. How you relate and directing your focus to serve a higher pur-pose are interwoven themes replacing the urge to acquire more stuff.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

You have entered a creative cycle. It will lead you over the coming weeks especially to innovate and invent. Given all the dynamics and shake-ups likely occurring in your world, circumstances may be demanding this. At best you feel inspired and confident to forge ahead. Stay alert be-cause the spark of genius and ingenuity stands to be trig-gered by others now.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

A long awaited break-through is set to occur over the coming few weeks. Both a deepened sense of mate-rial stability and emotional

fulfillment is likely. You have perhaps been patiently wait-ing for this for some months now. So, it is important that you be focused and alert. This will be an important initial step followed by a se-ries of others over the next few months especially.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)New thoughts, ideas and

concepts are beginning to re-ally take form in your mind. You are at least determined to consider and even experi-ment with them. You will have to focus more intently than you may realize to suc-ceed. Like moving through fog you are wise to proceed slowly but surely. Outline a plan with a timeline and watch for the signs.

ANOTHER HURDLE CLEARED ON THE WAY TO JUSTICE

FOR ABORIGINAL DAY SCHOLARS

Shishalh Nation 3apr14

For Immediate Release: Vancouver

The Federal Court of Canada has sent another clear message that Canada cannot delay of the proposed class action law suit launched on behalf of native students who attended Can-ada’s Residential Schools but who went home at night.

In August, 2012, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Indian Band and the Sechelt Indian Band, on behalf of the bands and band members launched the Day Scholars Class Action Law Suit against Canada to seek com-pensation for those band mem-bers who attended Indian Resi-dential Schools, but who did not live at the schools..

In a hearing held in Vancouver on April 9, 2014, Justice Har-rington dismissed Canada’s mo-tion seeking more information from these Day Scholars that Canada argued it needed to properly defend the case.

The motion was the latest in a series of actions taken by Cana-da that would have added time and cost to this law suit.

Canada argued that the State-ment of Claim did not provide enough detail for Canada to properly prepare its case go-ing forward. Justice Harrington rejected their argument, telling Canada that the bands’ position wasn’t so hidden that Canada wouldn’t find it in the pleadings and the evidence filed in No-

vember, 2013 in support of the Certification of class action. Jus-tice Harrington also urged both Canada and the bands to keep moving this matter forward.

Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Chief Shane Gottfriedson stated ”The Court is telling us that it un-derstands that this matter must move forward quickly; many of the survivors are old, and the more this case is delayed, the fewer will survive to see justice done. There have been three of the surviving Day scholars in Sechelt who have died since December 2013 and one of the Plaintiffs from Kamloops died on the Friday before the hearing. The survivors are running out of time.” Chief Calvin Craigan, Sechelt (shíshálh) Nation stat-ed that “Canada should real-ize that their attempts to slow down this case and force extra costs on us are being seen by the Court as what they are –de-lay tactics and it’s clear that the Court won’t put up with them.” Gottfriedson further stated that “This court case is about the injustices that our people have endured and we are seek-ing justice for Tk’emlúps te Sec-wépemc, Sechelt and for all of our nations and we will contin-ue to resolve these injustices!”

With this procedural matter dismissed, the law suit will con-tinue to move forward towards certification as a class action. That hearing is currently pro-posed for late 2014 or early 2015.
