The red poppy, traditional symbol of Remembrance Day, was prevalent at the ceremony on a grey Nov. 11 at the cenotaph in Sechelt. The poppies are highlighted in this colour photo, which was digitally manipulated so that all the colours except red are lowered and the saturation level of the red is boosted.

Ceremonies were also held at the Legions in Gibsons, Roberts Creek and Pender Harbour. COLIN HORABIN PHOTO

Mayor AND regional district chair At the Nov. 9 regular meeting of the Sunshine Coast Regional District, directors elected Sechelt Mayor Bruce Milne to the position of board chair.

Area B Director Garry Nohr, who was �irst elected in 2005 and has served as chair since 2010, suffered a heart attack in June 2017 and had previously indicated he would not continue as chair.

Area A Director Frank Mauro, who served as vicechair since 2014, was widely expected to take the chair, but lost via a secret ballot to Milne. Milne was nominated

by Town of Gibsons alternative representative Silas White.

After taking the chair, Milne nominated Mauro for vicechair, but Mauro declined the nomination. Ian Winn, area F director, was elected vicechair by acclamation.

Milne said he sees the role of the chair as "functional not political", and wants to see the interests of particular areas reconciled with overall regional interests.

Milne is a newcomer to the SCRD table, having only taken at seat at the beginning of November when Sechelt received a second seat because their population topped 10,000 in the last Census.

The other Sechelt seat is currently held by Councillor Darren Inkster.

The SCRD now has �ive rural directors and four municipal directors (Sechelt, Gibsons and the Sechelt Indian Government District). On �inancial matters, a weighted vote is used, with one vote per 2,000 population. The municipalities have 10 votes (Sechelt 6, Gibsons 3 and the SIGD 1) and the rural areas have 10 votes (2 votes each).

Slicing it geographically, the north coast (Sechelt to Egmont) now has �ive directors and 11 weighted votes, versus four directors and 9 weighted votes for the area from Roberts Creek to Port Mellon.

An Update from BC Ferries Hello Sunshine Coast Residents, I’d like to start this month by addressing two concerns we are hearing about the project:

LEAVE SALTERY BAY

No, we are not currently building employee apartments.

We may in the future need short term accommodation for crew coming from other terminals to work the Langdale route. We included it in our application as a ‘Proposed Use’ to allow for flexibility in the long term.

Is BC Ferries building tourist amenities?

The project may include options for upgrading existing washroom and amenity buildings. While we aren’t currently planning to add any additional seasonal amenities, any amenities included will be for all customers, including residents, and not coming at the expense of core service.

We recently completed the first phase of consultation that included an information session for the rezoning application and continued community engagement.

This informed participants about the development process and gave them opportunity to provide input on how they would like to see the terminal improved.

It included stakeholder workshops, mobile booths and a public information session. You can view what was presented at these sessions by visiting the Terminal Development pages under Public Consultation on bcferries.com.

• Foot passenger overhead walkway • Enable alternate modes of transportation through transit and cycling infrastructure • Improved wayfinding signage

In addition to the in-person consultation events, we also hosted an online survey. As of the end of October, we received more than 2,100 responses.

We will release the results in late November, posted under Terminal Development Planning on the Public Consultation section of our website.

In the second phase we will report back on how and to what extent the input provided was used and seek further input from you on terminal design. We expect this phase to start in Spring 2018.

We hope you find this information valuable and if you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at michael.pearson@bcferries.com.

Thank you, Mike Senior Project Manager, BC Ferries

The Local - Thursday, November 16, 2017

Editorial Opinion The eyes of an environmentalist I’m often introduced as an environmentalist. I prefer to be called a father, grandfather, scientist or author, as these terms provide insight into my motivation. Environmentalism isn’t a discipline or specialty like law, medicine, plumbing, music or art. It’s a way of seeing our place in the world and recognizing that our survival, health and happiness are inextricably dependent on nature.

I recently attended an event with a panel of outstanding athletes and artists who had become activists on various environmental issues. The moderator asked what role awe had played in their commitment. I couldn’t help thinking that two more words should have been added to the discussion: “humility” and “gratitude”.

We’re clever animals — so smart that we think we’re in command. We forget that our inventions have created many crises.

Atomic bombs represented an incredible scienti�ic and technological achievement, releasing the power within atoms. But when the U.S. dropped them on Japan in 1945, scientists didn’t know about radioactive fallout, electromagnetic pulses or the potential for nuclear winter. Those were discovered after we used the weapons.

Swiss chemist Paul Mueller won a Nobel Prize in 1948 for his discovery that DDT was a potent insecticide. Many years after the compound was put into widespread use, biologists discovered a previously unknown phenomenon: biomagni�ication up the food chain.

What we need is humility. Clever as we are, nature is far more creative.

The Canadian Cancer Society recently reported that half our population will develop cancer. This isn’t normal, but it shouldn’t surprise us. After all, we have synthesized hundreds of thousands of new molecules that have never existed on Earth. Most have never been tested for their biological effects and tens of thousands are now used in products and enter our waste stream. To arrest the cancer crisis (and it is a crisis), we must stop using the biosphere as a garbage can or sewer for these new molecules.

Along with humility, we should be grateful for nature’s generosity, something I’ve learned from Indigenous peoples. They acknowledge the source of their well-being, clean air, clean water, clean food and clean energy — all things that are created, cleansed or replenished by the web of life around us. In the urbanized industrial world we inhabit, we tend to think the economy is the source of all that matters to us, and so we have little regard for what we’re doing to the natural systems that sustain us. It’s time to see with new eyes.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions A special driver To those of you who take transit on the Coast on a regular basis, you have probably heard the news by now that John Atkinson – the affable, tall and always smiling night and weekend driver – passed away on Oct. 17. He was only 55 years old.

I have been taking transit my entire life (that's over 50 years) not just here on the Coast the past four years, but in Vancouver for 10 years and in Los Angeles for over 20 years before that. Without question, John was one of the friendliest, kindest, politest, and professional drivers I had ever had the pleasure of riding with.

I am not suggesting that the other drivers on the Coast are not also excellent.

But I do think that regular riders would agree: John was special.

John made every person who got on his bus feel like he had been waiting all shift just for them to board. He had a polite compliment for every woman, no matter their age. He would notice if one of his regular riders was not feeling themselves, and ask what was up. And, he was an excellent conversationalist. On the long ride between Sechelt and Langdale on the #1 Local you were bound to have a splendid conversation that would make you smile.

Or think. Mostly smile.

I did not know John in his personal life but I imagine he was equally as lovely.

The service for Mr. Atkinson is on Dec. 7 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Gibsons.

You better believe I will be going. I will likely take the bus there. But I can tell you this: that bus ride is never going to be the same.

Wanda Nowicki, Gibsons

That’s our water (Re “Gibsons objects to drilling”, the Local, Nov. 9) I am hereby calling on all Gibsonites to stand up together in protest to the SCRD's terrible plan to drill a hole in the ground on their land near our border to see if they can �ind some water.

Why, sure enough, that is our water. We can't afford to give up any of that water, what with all the needs of strangers and their boats at our spanking brand new hotel - convening center - condo marina - boat wash. We need to protect our water and our way of life.

That's why we all agreed to dig a big whole right next the aquifer, remember?

Alan Donenfeld, Gibsons

Chlorine consumed (Re “The chlorine problem”, letters, the Local, Nov. 9) Water Resource Centre (WRC) ef�luent that is discharged to the environment is not chlorinated. All chlorine used to clean the �ilter membranes is used up in the process.

The backwash water from the �ilter membranes goes to the front of the plant where it mixes with the raw sewage and is treated as it travels through the Centre.

With regards to chlorination of re-use water, it is strictly regulated by the Province and we are governed by these regulations.

We monitor the Centre ef�lu-

ent chlorine and aluminum levels as well as the pH daily to ensure that it will have no adverse effects on the environment.

At this time, the WRC is functioning well with the reactors as is. One reactor is off line and can be put into service if further treatment is required. In the future, installing bio�iber media in the reactors is an option, if needed. Even with bio�iber media, issues will occur when the microbes adjust to seasonal changes and the bio�iber media breaks down over time and is replaced.

Connie Jordison, communications manager, District of Sechelt

Logging without logic (Addressed to our MLA and the Forests Minister, and copied to the Local) I read that the Province intends to give new licences to logging companies to clearcut new sections of the forest close to where we live. One of these sections is known as the Elphinstone Forest, an area that our citizens have been proposing to have designated as a Provincial Park.

(That is an extremely modest proposal, considering that it would be only one percent of the size of Garibaldi or Strathcona parks, and is much closer to the communities.)

I’m sure you agree that these forests are more than simply a supply of harvestable timber. When I walk through them, under the tall cedar canopy, with the light �iltering through the branches and the little brooks babbling through the ravines, I can't help but realize how much we are a part of that environment: how it nurtures, sustains, enchants and heals us. And whenever, on my walk, the trail suddenly spills out into an open clear-cut area, littered with stumps and heaps of debris,

and I suddenly feel the bare sun burning down on me, in those moments, I am always struck by magnitude of the devastation logging in�licts on the environment.

The decision to issue more logging permits in these forests so close to our homes de�ies all logic. It is not only unwise environmentally, but also economically. Even though cutting down trees creates jobs, those jobs are very few and very shortterm. On the other hand, if we leave our forests intact and promote them as parks, nature reserves, wilderness recreation areas and outdoor education sites, we would create far more jobs and far more revenue over the long-term.

I urge our new NDP government to recognize the economic and environmental advantage of protecting these forests, and at the very least, to �inally stop the practice of logging in the Elphinstone forest by designating it as a Provincial Park.

Robert O’Neill, Roberts Creek

Guesthouse for homeless shelter?

BC Housing is one step closer to opening a temporary homeless shelter to replace the one at St. Hilda's Church after the Sechelt Advisory Planning Commission (APC) gave thumbs up to a rezoning proposal for the Upper Deck Guesthouse at its Nov. 9 meeting.

BC Housing is proposing to lease the property, which is currently a hostel, and have RainCity Housing operate it as a 24-hour shelter. The Wharf Avenue property is zoned for commercial uses, including accommodation for tourists and the travelling public, but not residential uses. It would be rezoned to add "shelter residential" as

an acceptable use.

The Upper Deck is presently approved for 22 hostel beds and requires no renovations, said municipal planner Angela Letman. The homeless shelter operating at St. Hilda's has 15 beds, and is open only 16 hours per day, whereas the new shelter would be open 24 hours and provide three meals a day. A caretaker suite on the property would be used by staff so they could provide 24/7 supervision.

A member of the APC asked how this proposal relates to an application by BC Housing for a 30-35 bed homeless shelter on a District-owned property at the

corner of Ebbtide Street and Trail Avenue. Letman said: "At this point we don't know for sure what's happening, and there's been no of�icial direction from council to investigate a lease or proceed in that location."

The rezoning application was received by the District of Sechelt on Oct. 27. It will now go to the planning and community development committee and could be on a council agenda as early as Dec. 6. A public hearing is required after �irst reading of the bylaw. The earliest possible date for the bylaw amendment to be adopted by council would be Dec. 20.

Beer farm can stay on the farm Local craft beer enthusiasts are breathing sighs of relief following the news that the provincial government will change the rules for breweries and distilleries that operate on Agricultural Land Reserve lands so that they do not have to grow at least 50 per cent of their major ingredient on site.

This will put breweries on the same footing as wineries and cideries who are able to buy ingredients from other

Planner leaves

Andre Boel, the Town of Gibsons director of planning, has announced his resignation after accepting a new position as general manager of development services at the City of Port Moody. The move will bring Andre closer to his spouse, who lives in the Vancouver area.

"On behalf of Council, I want to thank Andre for his professional guidance during a time when the Town has experienced some of its most complex development proposals and projects," said Town of Gibsons Mayor, Wayne Rowe.

Andre joined the Town of Gibsons as its director of planning in March 2013. His last day in that role will be on Nov. 30.

BC farms.

Persephone Brewing owner, Brian Smith, is greatly relieved that his craft brewery will be able to continue operating on its 11-acre property on Stewart Road near Langdale. Last year the Agricultural Land Commission rejected Persephone's application for a non-farm use permit, and gave them two years to move most of their operations to a non-ALR property.

"Perhaps needless to say we are excited and especially relieved to see this change come into effect," said Smith, interviewed via email. "The changes are not perfect but they certainly put us in a much better position including the ability to be fully compliant with the ALR Regulations."

"We are truly grateful for the support our community, employees and partners have

shown us throughout this trying process."

Persephone grows hops and apples on its property, and operates a market garden, in addition to its brewing activities and tasting room. Now, Smith says, they plan to "grow more."

"We will be opening another round of investment which will help us increase our farming, production and, perhaps most importantly, community impact."

Smith also announced that Persephone was named Social Enterprise of Year at the 2017 Social Finance Forum held in Toronto on Nov. 9 and 10. The award is presented to a Canadian social enterprise "that combines business excellence with positive social or environmental impact and a �inancial return."

Mayor’s Message Bruce Milne Mayor, District of Sechelt

At a time when development in Sechelt is ramping up, District staff are processing applications being brought before us as well as updating plans for the future of our community. In October, nine new applications related to development were received. The status of the over 40 applications that are ‘in process’ with us has been updated on the Development Application chart on Sechelt. ca. I encourage all who are interested in the progress of these applications to review this information.

Public engagement on the development of Sechelt’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan has been underway for the past two months. Public discussions on components that are key

I am honoured and thrilled to be able to write this article as the new Library Director.

I believe that in this time of mass technological change, and information overload, that libraries have never been more important to community life.

to building a sustainable future have been held. A draft Plan that will mold the input received into a document that will guide decision making is scheduled to come forward to our Planning and Community Development Committee on Dec. 20.

This month, the focus of our ongoing community consultation is updating our Parks Master Plan. Sechelt’s parks system has achieved wonderful success in the 30-year history of the District. Our residents can be rightfully proud of how beach accesses, active and passive park spaces, and the beauti�ication of public areas throughout our community have enhanced what nature has provided Sechelt.

In the past 10 years, development projects have been undertaken in 18 parks, on 23 of our over-50 public beach accesses, 29 streetscape areas, six of our playgrounds and on 20 trails or walkways.

As we look to move forward, it is time to check in with our residents on their

derful celebration for our new children’s area with a jawdropping show by local magician The Amazing J. Thank you to everyone in our special community for making this new area possible, with special thanks to major donors, the Gibsons Lions Club, Howe Sound Pulp and Paper, and the Gibsons Library Foundation. Please come and check out our renovated fresh space and grab one of the many new children’s books to enjoy.

Bouncing Baby and Preschool Storytimes are also back in action: a great way to connect and improve literacy with the little ones in your life.

As the rain approaches, why not enjoy some armchair travel stories. We have an abundant travel collection, and

views. Updating our Parks Master Plan will allow us to plan future projects in ways that make good sense from the District’s standpoint.

With your input, the Plan will also be able to focus on areas where residents see needs or advantages to particular projects. Is there a need for an offleash dog park in Sechelt that is separate from active use park space at Kinnikinnick?

What is your vision for our downtown Trail Bay and our Davis Bay waterfronts? What improvements would you like to see in public spaces in your neighbourhood? An Open House on the Parks Master Plan will be hosted Thursday, Nov. 16 from 5 to 8pm in Seaside Centre. Attend to share your views. Alternatively, submit your input online to info@Sechelt.ca or by posting comments on the District’s Facebook page. Help create the Sechelt of your dreams with a strong plan for the future of our community’s public spaces.

Curatorial Assistant, Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives

Inspired by the snow lazily falling outside my of�ice window and the gusts of cold air blowing in the door with each visitor to the museum, I decided to research what life was like in the winter for early European settlers on the Sunshine Coast.

In the early days, before there were easily accessible roads on the Coast, all travel between communities and deliveries of supplies and mail were done by boat. According to Francis Wyngaert, author of “The West Howe Sound Story: 1886-1976”, boat services at the turn of the century from the Howe Sound Wharf to and from Vancouver were virtually without a schedule, and passengers could wait for up to three hours for their steamer to arrive. In the winter, George Gibson Sr. would light his lantern in the evenings and investigate who was still waiting on the wharf for their ship. Those there would be invited into the warmth of Gib-

Gibsons Landing in the winter of 1910: Myrtle Armour (later Mrs. John Hicks) is seen standing in the snow at the bottom of School Road, the only road up the hill at the time. This spot would later become the main intersection in Lower Gibsons. SCMA PHOTO # 948 son’s home, near the wharf entrance, where they would be provided with food and warm drinks by Mrs. Charlotte Gibson.

Winter storms on the Coast were an impediment to ship travel. For example, in Roberts Creek in the early 1900s, the storms made landing ships challenging, and often caused the destruction or un-anchoring of the off-shore �loats. Winter storms could also delay postal pick-up from the Howe Sound Post Of�ice, where mail could sit for days waiting for a steamer. Wyngaert mentions that when this happened, the postmistress, Mrs. Emma Fletcher, would send it to Vancouver on a tugboat or on a local resident’s

�ishing boat.

For the early Finnish communities on the Coast, winter was the time for women to make essential items needed for the home and for men to repair items such as animal harnesses and tools.

Winters were also a time for friends to come together for dancing and fun. For example, in the 1920s the Winegarden family held many Saturday evening dances for the young people of the community, where they would dance the two-step, waltz, and quadrille.

This is just a glimpse into the lives of early settlers on the Coast, a different time, with its own winter challenges and gaieties.

Laurie Vance Luxury Home Specialist

Client Testimonial: From the beginning to the end of our Whistler property sale, Laurie has made it a stress-free experience. Selling a recreation property can be difficult because we are not on site so Laurie looked after everything that normally the seller would do.

As an added bonus her efforts had resulted in our long-term tenants being able to stay rather than move and look for another suite to rent. Not only was our property sold quickly, Laurie was knowledgeable and professional throughout the process.

This is the second time we have hired Laurie, so we would highly recommend her services.

Thank you for all your help Laurie!

In Wait, a visual art collaboration by Vancouverbased Full Circle Collective, runs at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery until Nov. 26. The seven members of the collective—Julie McIntyre, Wendy Morosoff Smith, Heather Aston, Hannamari Jalovaara, Jocelyn Barrable Segal, Milos Jones, and Rina Pita—based their work on the myth of Penelope who waited 20 years for her husband Odysseus to come home from his adventures. While waiting, she was beset by suitors wanting to marry her. To stave them off, she knitted a shroud, telling them once the shroud was �inished, she would make her choice. Every night, however, she unraveled part of the shroud, continuing her—and

For such a heavy sounding theme, the works are actually quite colourful and dynamic, and not at all melancholy.

Each artist completed nine 12x12 works on Arches paper on their own, but the rest are collaborations, with one artist starting, then handing it off to another, the work going back and forth until completed. Sometimes multiple artists collaborated on one piece. Images associated with speci�ic artists—for example, Aston’s playing cards, which symbolize her mother passing the time, and McInytre’s “old people furniture” rocking chairs—combine into �inished pieces with stories becoming interwoven, a vi-

Jalovaara’s depictions of roots and dividing cells can be seen in many of the pieces, representing “All this activity that you don't see that is happening inside of you even when you are waiting,” she says in the accompanying video to the exhibit. This video gives an excellent background to the entire three year project and is well worth the 30-minute investment. In it, the artists acknowledge being a little nervous about the collaborations, but recognize that it pushed them into directions they wouldn’t have gone on their own. Given the nuanced complexity of the results, and the hopeful mood of the exhibit, the collaborations are the stars of the show.

Among the Society’s accomplishments: transforming a former Ministry of Forests garage into the School of Mu-

sic; establishing their popular Friday Night Coffee House series, Winter Concert Series, founding a jazz festival, and a chamber music festival.

They’ve produced almost 300 concerts to date, with the next one featuring Vancouver-based a capella ensemble Sweet Scarlet on Dec. 17. For more info, and to become a member or volunteer, visit penderharbourmusic.ca.

“Dirty Windshields” bares all the salacious and hilarious details from Lawrence's touring days as the lead singer of the Vancouver-based band

The Smugglers. In their 16 years of touring across Canada, the United States, and eventually, Europe and the Paci�ic Rim, the Smugglers experienced all the highs and lows the road can offer, from playing a gig at New York's legendary CBGB club to starting a riot in a Denver nightclub to having their performance tuxes stolen in Australia.

St. Hilda’s Anglican Church is inviting the community to celebrate St. Hilda’s Day at the ReelTime Celtic Ensemble concert on Nov. 18, 7 pm at St. John’s United Church at 5085 Davis Bay Road.

“Hilda was a woman ahead of her time who founded and ruled a monastery for both men and women, and brokered peace between pow-

erful Roman imperial forces and local Christian expressions. It is �itting to honour her on her feast day with the uplifting music from ReelTime Celtic Ensemble,” said the Rev. Clarence Li, Rector of St. Hilda’s.

ReelTime has been playing music together for over 25 years. Their repertoire spans Celtic, Ukrainian, Brazilian

and occasionally jazz.

The concert is the �irst installment of St. Hilda’s 2017/18 recital series “Music Arising”. Many thanks to St. John’s United Church for offering the concert space while St. Hilda’s sanctuary is under renovation. Admission to the concert will be by donation.

Gospel Rock information meeting A public information meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 22, 4:30-8pm, at the Gibsons Legion to provide information on the proposed Gospel Rock Village development in Gibsons.

The area encompassed by the Gospel Rock Neighbourhood Plan is presently undeveloped. When fully built out, it is slated to add 1,100 housing units to the town. Greenlane Homes is proposing a three-phase development on their property, with 250

Around the Harbour Patti Soos

in Pender Harbour

An important meeting is happening in Pender Harbour around the timely subject of the opioid crisis in BC. The Sunshine Coast unfortunately is not immune to the impact of this crisis and there is a need for conversation around this topic.

The child and youth mental health and substance use collaborative and its com-

units in Phase 1 and 2, and another 120 units in Phase 3.

The area is currently accessed from the west via Chaster Road and Pratt Road, which lie in Area E of the Sunshine Coast Regional District.

The Gibsons plan permits developers to build up to 250 units before a primary access road is built through Town lands, connecting to Shaw Road in the north.

Residents of Area E have protested this plan, arguing that it will add too much traf-

�ic to Pratt Road, and asking that the Town put in the primary road access before any development takes place.

At the Nov. 7 Gibsons committee of the whole meeting, Mayor Wayne Rowe said: "The �inancial reality is that some development has to take place to pay for the kind of connection to Shaw Road that we propose."

Further information about the proposal is available at www.gospelrockvillage.com Donna McMahon

munity partners present a community opioid dialogue on Tuesday Nov. 21. Please join us to discuss the opioid crisis and its impact on our community. Other topics regarding substance use will be discussed as well. This dialogue will address far more than just talking about drugs, since substance use is not simply about drugs but instead results from a breakdown in the fabric or connectedness of the human community. This dialogue will help us understand each other and build social relationships that support

individual needs. The breakdown of this integration of the community and its members is at the root of substance use and dialogue is an important tool in re-building this integration.

The community opioid dialogue will take place Nov. 21 at the Madeira Park Legion.

Doors open at 6pm for light snacks and the dialogue will occur from 6:30-8:30pm.

Please note, this event is for adults only. For more information, please contact Rhonda Jackman at rjackman@ telus.net.

What happens on the road…

The Sechelt Library hosts an afternoon of stories and song with award-winning author and CBC broadcaster Grant Lawrence on Saturday, Nov. 18 at 3pm.

Lawrence, author of the BC bestseller “Adventures in Solitude”, brings his new rock 'n' roll memoir “Dirty Windshields: The Best and the Worst of the Smugglers Tour Diaries” (Douglas &

www.scswg.org

Through the �ights, misadventures, new friendships, dance contests and overall mayhem, the band grew up together on the road. Told with Lawrence's signature self-deprecating wit, the anecdotes in “Dirty Windshields” develop into a compelling story of the growth of an independent, do-it-yourself touring band, a community, and a musical movement.

Admission is free, but to register please drop by the library or phone (604) 8853260.

Astrologer

Tip of the Week: 2017, year 1 of a new round has proven transformational for pretty much everyone. The number 1-Year, which is based on the addition of the numbers in the year (2 + 0 + 1 +7 = 1), tends to be like this, raw, assertive, aggressive even, boldly pushing us to go where we have not been before.

Thus, 1 is the number of new beginnings fresh starts and pioneering initiatives. Of course, these invariably entail endings. Both ends of the deal can be dif�icult, transformational and life-altering. As well, as is true of new beginnings, they set the tone, themes for the 8 years to follow.

Pushed out of the familiar, secure comfort zone, people commonly react and resist, or are challenged to rise to the occasion and participate cooperatively. This is how our ego is – security oriented and that is valid. But, the river of life has a strong current and some of its twists and turns quickly become rapids. But, there are and will invariably

NOTICES

SUNSHINE COAST LIONS HOUSING SOCIETY

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20) Wow, a veritable vanguard of elite players is gracing your stage right now. To this end, you are challenged to work hard to stay in the game. You yourself have expansive and lofty ambitions brewing. You are determined to go big now and secure your position and, if you have it your way, for the long-term.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Changes in your lifestyle are underway. The overall state of affairs is changing and this may be the source of some anxiety. The challenge to be faithful in it is all is high. One of the keys is to give more. This can occur by gathering tools and learning new skills to leverage your position. Focus to be decisive and committed to following through.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have entered an important time period inviting you to make important investments. These could come in the way of energy output of a variety of kinds and not necessarily just �inancial. The main thing is that you are working to forge a brighter and more secure future. While the prospect of holdings and dividends is sensible, be sure to include a foundation for a purpose.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Some big changes are brewing close to home. Your sights are set on the future but you have a lot of work to do. Creating an inspiring environment to work in represents an important cornerstone. Any other measures you can take that will give you con�idence

will prove to be a good investment. Focus on inspiration and con�idence.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) If you were not good at multitasking before, you learning how to be now. Focus, concentration, and organization are keywords for this cycle. Your ambitions are on the rise to realize your dreams, the movies in your mind’s eye that represent your destiny. This trend will continue so set the stage so that you can have a super productive year.

Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) Financial interests, concerns, and considerations are on your mind. You are determined to do what it takes to secure your position. Yet, you have some important decisions to make. The time has come to implement new initiatives. How things have been up to now require adjustments and some strategies, rhythms, and patterns will not make the cut.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Big energies are building.

This is an expansive time for you and you may feel somewhat intimidated by the prospects. New turns have begun and they require all the faith, courage and strength you can muster. You are probably wise to take an experimental approach for now and avoid �inal decisions until you are more con�ident in your approach.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) There is something very big brewing in the back of your mind. But, because it is back

there, you may not be as fully aware or conscious of it as you might like. However, you probably do feel punchy and rebellious. Certain situations need to change, perhaps especially close to home. It might prove worthwhile to check in with yourself to sound your depths.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This is a powerful time for pretty much everyone and not least of all you. Changes that have been brewing for many months are entering their �inal stages before the bigger shift occurs. Changes on relationship fronts affecting both your personal and professional life are featured. Positively, a fresh start is indicated.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Something big is brewing in your public and professional life. This may be

the foundational stage so the returns may not yet be evident. Gathering tools and learning new skills implies efforts and requires a good attitude. Acknowledge that everything is happening ‘for’ you, even it does not always seem that way. Whistle while you work.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) This is a busy time but also a creative one. A vision for the future is steadily unfolding.

So, a part of your busyness is to forge a realistic vision for the future. It is ever important to cultivate a sense of purpose. This seldom amounts to merely making money as it is more a means than an end.

be calmer stretches in between. Altogether, these are a reminder to be grateful for the joyful windows and humble and compassionate and supportive with the experiences of others because some have much harder lessons and destinies than others and the tables can and do turn quickly.

This general indication of larger themes affecting us all may seem simplistic, but it works quite well indeed. It actually represents the fact that we are all engaged in a co-creative process, whether we know it, like it, believe it, or not. Yet, skepticism falls hard when evidence piles up into heaps, like now. The measuring abilities of Numerology and Astrology work very well and can help you in your personal life too. These are just samples addressing collective themes and trends, but upon re�lection, you may recognize that they work well indeed.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19) Some very exciting and powerful momentums are underway for you. The stakes are quite high and this invariable attracts players and perhaps predators too. The process of negotiation is ever a complex affair and can inspire strategy and cunning. Remember that things can and usually do change quickly once signatures of�icially seal the deal.

Handcrafted Washable Lambskin, Designed To Hug A Narrow Foot And Cover The Ankle, Fitted With Our Quality Leather Sole.

ABOUT OUR SHEEPSKIN Here at Sunshine Coast Slipper Factory, we are asked many times by customers what the uses for sheepskin are, and also how to take care of them.

The best sheepskins are not only machine washable but they have been tanned without the use of harsh chemicals.

This is very important as sheepskin is naturally resistant to flame and static-electricity.

Sheepskin wool helps to regulate body temperature, keeping you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold. It is naturally resistant to the growth of mold, dust mites and bed bugs. It’s natural wicking properties draws moisture away from the skin preventing conditions that allow bac-

teria to thrive.

Studies have shown that sleeping on a sheepskin rug lowers the heart rate compared to synthetic materials. It’s particularly useful for people with limited mobility - such as the elderly or those convalescing after surgery.

Sheepskins naturally crimped fibers form a cushioning support for your body. It’s thick fiber cushions the body’s weight when laying down, distributing the weight on pressure points evenly and avoiding muscle pains in the process by absorbing pressure without flattening out.

You can use sheepskin just about anywhere. Use them on your motorcycle to help cut down on vibration and fatigue on long rides. Use them on leather chairs, sofas and recliners, adding a sheepskin can make them feel more

inviting.

Sheepskin rugs don’t have to take up an entire room.

Their free-flowing edges will add a homey, cozy feel to a space especially right by your bedside!

How to clean our sheepskin: 1- Select rinse and spin or hand wash/delicate cycle using cold or tepid water 2- Add Eucalan* to fabric softener drawer 3- Load articles into machine and start cycle 4- Remove rug and brush it out 5- Hang to dry “not in direct sunlight” 6- Once dry, place in dryer on “air only” setting for 5-10 minutes
