lug Kids and adultsWeathertight got busy building owl1035 houses at Synchronicity Festival Sunday with help from the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project. Workshops included a bat house project on Saturday, and talks on how some birds really appreciate habitat that humans can provide. Photo Apryl Veld Owl house building was just one of many activities and workshops held throughout the weekend at Synchronicity Festival in Shirley Macy Park. Kids and adults were enjoying working with their hands and using the kits to make something for their feathered rainforest friends.

“Helping create suitable homes is important Aug. 30, Jason 2012 Herz of the for some owl species,” says Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project. The workshops held throughout the three-day festival, also included a bat house workshop.

“Kids have a lot of fun putting these together: it’s a great project,” Herz noted. And some species could really use assistance from property owners and conservation fans.

“Of particular concern is the federally threatened and provincially blue-listed Western Screech Owl,” the SCWP website notes, “These adorable small owls have experienced dramatic population declines since the 1990s, in the South Coast area, where they have nearly disappeared.”

Screech Owls nest in natural tree cavities and

old woodpecker holes, but biologists note that development and forest harvesting has reduced the number of suitable cavity-bearing nest trees.

The SCWP is encouraging the installation of owl nest boxes to provide more nesting habitat for Screech-Owls and encourage the monitoring of local populations on the Sunshine Coast.

People interested in building their own owl boxes can buy a kit or a ready-made box from the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project website at ana@coastwildlife.ca or 778-239-9231. Apryl Veld

The District of Sechelt is undergoing a zoning bylaw review and update presently, which council will vote on this fall. At Tuesday’s presentation, the Sechelt public was introduced to the new bylaw draft that’s been in the works for some time. The old bylaw adopted in 1987 needed updating to bring it in line with the 2011 Official Community Plan (OCP) and to address technical issues for the District. This may be helpful to those wishing to see what is permitted and not permitted on their own property and any lots within Sechelt’s boundaries.

The District has reduced the categories to fewer zones, so regulations should be easier to understand and to comply with. The redo also is intended to ensure the community is developed in line with community plans ratified a few years ago.

“It’s been quite an amount of work, with the plan-

ning staff leading the way,” Development Planner, Angela Letman confirmed.

“The District had a couple of consultants help, and worked closely with bylaw compliance officers as well as building inspectors to help create the guides,” she noted.

The bylaw package features simplified layout with diagrams and tables, use of plain language, and fewer zones, including distinct light industrial/business park and heavy industrial zones.

“We’ve gone from seven industrial zones to three,” the planner notes, “a lot of zones that had heavy industry as part of the classification are now light industrial.”

Along with these changes, there’s the addition of a new airport zone, and marine zones. Marine 1 working waterfront zone was added for water-based businesses that are more industrial, while a W-1 revision reflects conservation and recreation fo-

cus, and limits on docks and wharves.

Some density planning should encourage multihousehold developments, especially for downtown Sechelt, while townhouses will be separate designations from apartment zoning.

“These try to reflect the current development trends and Official Community Plan policies,” Letman explained.

There are some alternative power generation allowed on residential lots, as well as creatures you might not have seen before.

“Some allow for food security, through keeping of hens or bees,” Letman notes. The OCP also brought in things like zoning for lane-way housing and seniors housing she added.

The bylaw is not retroactive, however, so no one is required to alter their existing property to fit the new bylaw.

Regional government is pressing the province to hold public consultations for the Sunshine Coast on the Woodfibre LNG plant proposal.

Twelve February and July meetings were held in the towns of Squamish, Furry Creek, Brittannia Beach, Whistler and West Vancouver, but no meetings had yet been held on the Coast, Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) senior planner David Rafael confirmed.

“We asked for a consultation opportunity in the future,” Rafael said, “for when

the full application comes in, and that’s up to the proponents when that happens.”

The meetings earlier this year were intended to inform and hear from the public about the project’s possible impacts on communities. The SCRD had sent communications reminding Victoria that Coast communities are situated near the same marine passages that the transport ships will travel to reach the proposed natural gas terminal. The assessment currently underway is looking at the implications of cleaning up

the old Woodfibre mill and converting it to a natural gas terminal in Squamish. Tankers would reach the terminal via Howe Sound and its adjoining channels. Several other regional and municipal governments as well as First Nations have been involved in the talks so far, and the comments are now compiled.

“Input received will be considered by the project team, along with technical and socio-economic considerations, in the plans for the Woodfibre LNG Project,” Woodfibre’s website states,

while consultation results are posted there for interested parties.

The province sent a letter acknowledging interest from the Coast region on the matter.

“In light of the concerns that you raise and the interest about the project from the Sunshine Coast, I commit to consider holding an open house on the Sunshine Coast, (Gibsons) ... during the environmental assessment stage,” a letter from Asst.

Project Assessment Manager, Alanya Smith stated.

The Local - Thursday, August 28, 2014

Editorial Opinion West Van and Weston clash on LNG Residents of Howe Sound are both supportive and have sincere concerns about the Woodfibre LNG proposal. While it is important to recognize the role that natural resources play in our economy, the province and the communities of Howe Sound have committed significant time, energy and money in establishing Howe Sound as the outdoor recreation capital of the world. In this context, the LNG proposal should stand the test of how well it fits with our region and our booming recreation and tourism economy.

I am concerned about the unanswered questions of siting an LNG terminal in an inlet, in the heart of one of Canada’s top recreation areas. The District of Squamish is partway through a comprehensive, facilitated effort to understand the benefits and risks of Woodfibre LNG. Gibsons, Lions Bay and the Sunshine Coast Regional District are opposed. West Vancouver Council, like its neighbours, is exercising caution and will debate the matter further in September.

In a recent newspaper op-ed piece, John Weston, the Conservative MP for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country said he is “unimpressed” with West Vancouver Council.

A Member of Parliament’s job is to represent the broad views of constituents. Our communities are asking for a voice in the process, and I stand with them.

Sincerely, Pam Goldsmith-Jones Candidate, Liberal Party of Canada West Vancouver Sunshine Coast Sea to Sky Country

Be bear aware, pick ripe fruits and stay safe The best way to maintain personal safety and reduce human-bear conflict is by replacing fear with knowledge.

How to avoid surprise encounters and how to react if you see a bear are important to know here in bear country (in fact, all of B.C. is bear country). You can begin online by visiting www.wildsafebc. com or the WildSafeBC-Sunshine Coast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ pages/Wildsafebc-SunshineCoast/462624630479359 for information about wildlife.

Carrying bear spray in a side holster is also an option when out in the great outdoors. Keeping dogs on a leash is also recommended being as they can often provoke a defensive attack from wildlife. To avoid a surprise encounter, make noise while walking so talk out loud, clap rocks or hands together, especially near running water or in dense brush and blind corners.

Managing our attractants

is key to reducing conflict with our wildlife neighbours.

It works like a broad brush, if we can eliminate things that attract a bear, we can reduce the amount of conflict with other species at the same time! The fruit trees are beginning to ripen, and the secure storage of garbage remains an issue. Don’t forget to enter the contest to win a certified bear-proof bin from TyeDee Bin (on the wildsafebc-sunshinecoast facebook link). If you need help harvesting your fruit, contact the volunteers of the SC Fruit Tree Project at membership@onestraw.ca Let’s keep wildlife wild and communities safe. For more information, or to book a presentation, please contact Kim at sunshinecoast@wildsafebc. com or call 604.885.6800 ext 6476 Kim Drescher, Wildsafe B.C.

Since her ordination she has been going at a non-stop pace getting to know the communities of faith that make up her new diocese.

Bishop Melissa Skelton is a respected leader in the field of Congregational Development leading workshops and learning sessions throughout North America. The congregation tripled during her 9 year incumbency at her last ministry post, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in one of Seattle’s urban neighbourhoods.

As Applied Animal Behaviorist Dr. Patricia B. McConnell states in her booklet I’ll be Home Soon: “There’s no question that dogs can have strong emotions, and that some dogs behave as though they are in a state of terror when their owners leave.”. dogsofdistinction.com

Porpoise Bay Provincial Park will be even more blissful on Saturday, September 6 when Yoga Festival bends on the shores.

“I’m so excited about more Hearing House 3jul14 people doing this together,” yoga teacher Georgia Cyr said, “It’s all about exploring.”

ple can try something new and yet enjoy the styles they already love. Wear comfy clothing and bring a yoga mat and note there are shelters so the event will run rain or shine. See their website sunshinecoastyoga.ca for info and reach them through their Facebook page.

all about town - sechelt Arena Bowl Tournament Attracts 75 Pickle-ballers Local

the

SCRD and the Sunshine Coast Pickleball Association co-sponsored an “open” pickleball tournament at Sechelt’s Arena On August 23. The tournament attracted fifty-six doubles teams, and 75 players who competed on 7 courts for gold, silver, and bronze medals in 9 skill categories. Mayor John Henderson welcomed the participants and spectators, and presented several medals. By the conclusion of the tournament, Sunshine Coast teams won gold medals in 4 of the 9 categories, and took away silver and bronze medals in all but 2 categories.

“We are delighted that so

many players and spectators from the lower mainland travelled here for this event,” said Karen Renfrew of the Sunshine Coast Pickleball Association. “The SCRD was a great partner, and so were the local businesses who generously donated food and beverages.

Next year, this tournament will be sanctioned by Pickleball Canada, and that could mean a 2-day affair.”

According to Renfrew, that’s good news for pickleballers and the community.

Dark Matter and Dark Energy in focus Dr. Ludo Van Waerbeke, an associate professor at UBC and a senior fellow of the Canadian Institute for advanced Research in the Cosmology and Gravity Program will be speaking about Dark Matter and Dark Energy at 7:30 pm September 12, at the Sunshine Coast Art Centre. The speaker for the Sunshine Coast Chapter of the RASC will be discussing who studies of the universe are stumbling upon two mysteries: it is made of 5 per cent of normal matter, 20 per cent of an unknown type of matter, dark matter and 75 per cent of a puzzling form of energy, dark energy. Normal matter can be seen with traditional observational techniques that capture light at all possible

wavelengths with all kinds of telescopes. Dark matter can be detected indirectly with the gravitational lensing effect. The effect of dark energy can only be measured on the expansion rate of the Universe. Using a combination of observations of normal and dark matter and dark energy, my research is a quest for a better understanding of the Universe and its fundamental laws, the large scale structures, galaxy clusters and galaxy formation.

Panini become sandwiches of choice

Welcome to our

New Waterfront Entry

It is hard to tell just when panini became a household name, but over the last several years these beloved sandwiches have Pebbles 3aug14 been growing in popularity. Today panini are on the menus of variety of eateries. The term “panini” can be traced back to a 16th century Italian cookbook. However, the first recorded instance of it being used in North America was in 1956.

Popular Italian fillings in a panino are salami, mortadella, porchetta, prosciutto, and various cheeses. However, less ethnic forms of the sandwich have showcased just about every type of filling. Restaurants may offer roast beef, breaded cutlets, cheese

Caprese Salad-Style Panino Serves 1 to 2

We are located in Downtown Sechelt with fantastic views of Georgia Strait, only a short walk from shopping, pool and Sechelt recreation centre. We offer 28 comfortable rooms including waterfront suites, plus the popular Pebbles Restaurant offering breakfast, lunch and dinner on the Sunshine Coast.

blends, or even vegetarian options, dubbed “vegini.”

You don’t have to have to frequent Italian sandwich bars to get your panini fix. Electric sandwich grills look similar to a rectangular waffle iron, while cast-iron pans enable home chefs to create a pressed sandwich right on the stovetop. Without panini-making equipment you can still weigh down a pan on top of another with a brick to create the flattened sandwich effect.

Whichever way you cut it, the enjoyment of panini lies in coming up with ingredients to use in the sandwich. So try this easy, light, healthy and delicious take on a panino below.

2 vine-ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced thinly 20 leaves fresh basil 1 loaf of ciabatta bread, or desired crusty bread August 21, 2014 Extra-virgin olive oil Balsamic vinegar / Coarse salt and pepper Heat up a panini maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Grease the insides by brushing on some olive oil. Cut open the loaf of bread and baste the top and bottom with a little of the extra-virgin olive oil. Layer slices of tomato, mozzarella and basil on the bottom half of the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Brush the outside of the sandwich with more olive oil and place on the panini maker to cook, until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted. Whisk together equal parts of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a small amount of salt and pepper to create an easy balsamic vinaigrette. Use as a dipping sauce for pieces of the panini. Metro

This year’s Festival also pushed the envelope with trios performed by flutist Eugenia Zuckerman, saxophonist Julia Nolan and Tselykov on piano, and brought lots of Coast and off-Coast fans back

to Pender Harbour.

“It’s a wonderful festival that gets international interest,” said artist liaison, Skelley, “the artists gain a camaraderie, and the audiences love the artists, so it’s a win for everybody.”

World of Motion and Distance for Festival The Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival celebrated their 10th anniversary last weekend with an amazing array of concerts from ten musicians. The festival also commissioned a piece for piano and string quartet to mark the occasion from Kelly Marie Murphy.

“It was an absolutely huge success,” one of the festival organizers said, “the piece was really well received, and (Murphy) is a significant Canadian composer.”

The composer created a work for the Festival named, In a World of Motion and Distance, in three contrasting movements of fast slow and fast, the Festival program notes. It was played by director Alexander Tselyakov on piano with the Lafayette String Quartet on strings.

“The initial catalyst for the piece was in drawing parallels between the creative process and the annealing of glass and metal,” Murphy

3rd Annual Nutcracker - an amazing journey There are parts for every level of dancer to try out for at auditions in Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker ballet on September 7, says Kathleen Holmes of Coasting Along Theatre.

“Everyone can come to auditions for the experience, to see what it’s like and give it a try,” the dance teacher and

director said.

The rehearsals will be Saturdays and Sundays September to December. Dancers who take on the flower parts must be on pointe, she notes, but many parts require just a couple of years basic ballet training.

This is the 3rd annual pro-

duction of the Nutcracker, which runs December 27 to 30, Holmes notes.

“We’ve been enhancing it each year - the music stays the same, but everything else improves with age,” she enthuses, “This year we’re trying to challenge the dancers even more. Some have had

the same part for 2 years - so we would like to stretch their wings,” she explained.

Some will get to dance the same role again, but the choreography will change to keep it fresh, and the dancers are getting stronger each year, the Coast Along Theatre director said.

Miguel Nguyen who has played the prince will return.

“He has made our Nutcracker a must in4aug14 his busy schedule. He’s currently performing in Argentina,” Holmes noted, adding they’ll have at least three more guest artists.

We would also love to have more “real” boys in the production, she said. There are parts for all ages - and ballet is ideal training for sports, August 28, 2014 skating along with strength and agility.

The September 7 audition times: Girls age 7 to 10, 10 am to noon; Girls age 11 plus 12:15 to 2:15pm; Intermediate/Advanced dancers pointe and nonpointe 2:30-4:40; Boys and Acro-gymnasts, 4:45 to 6 pm.

Home & Garden Live large in a small home the

Click Homes promoter Rob Wilde was on hand at Synchronicity Festival doing workshops with guests and answering questions about the many aspects of small home building and customizing.

The Local - Thursday, August 28, 2014 13

Local

“The three things to consider when you’re looking at getting into a small home are your application, design and placement,” Wilde emphasized. Another consideration is portability, as some folks like to move their location

without having to move into another home. The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors says small homes are a fast-growing trend for a variety of reasons.

“While home sizes ballooned from the 1950s into the early 2000s, data suggests that this trend is slowing, or even reversing. A 2008 survey shows that more than 60 per cent of potential home buyers would rather have a smaller house with more amenities than the other way around,” IACHI journalist Nick Gromicko wrote on their website.

Small homes are generally easy to maintain, are lower cost to heat and are attractive to people who want a place that is their own but doesn’t take up their whole lifestyle budget.

The Small Homes Movement in the U.S. is gaining popularity in Canada as well as construction costs grow and homeowner values begin to shift toward creating a smaller footprint and having less material things. Building materials such a cob and rammed earth are popular in some areas, however wood and combined manufactured materials can be better suited to Coast climates, Wilde said.

“Small homes means essentially, you don’t let your

possessions dictate your life and you free up money for things you want to do, reduce building costs and reduce the need for more belongings,” the Robert Creek resident explained.

When someone invests in a small home, Wilde notes, there’s often more money left in their budget for alternative power systems and a larger piece of land left uninhabited to enjoy, share with wildlife and or grow food on. There are many portable small homes on the market, and these are getting some attention for their durabil-

ity (a life of 40 years) and ability to be moved whole or flat-packed to remote or access-challenged properties. Click Homes are built on the Sunshine Coast in Port Mellon, and so do not need to be transported here, Wilde noted.

Many modular homes have high rated insulation and are built to B.C. building codes, unlike traditional mobile homes.

Born August 30, 1942 - August 14, 2014 It is with great sadness and sorrow we announce the passing of Donn John Bradshaw at the age of 71. Donn is survived by his loving wife of 47 years Patricia, his sons Shawn (Alison), Graham (Cindi). Predeceased by his father Jack and mother Muriel. He is also survived by his brothers Gary, Steven, and his sister Dale, and many other family members. Donn will always be remembered foremost for his love of his family. Donn was raised in Dunbar, Vancouver and graduated from Lord Byng High School. Donn retired at a young age to his property at Roberts Creek after a career in the commercial fire sprinkler industry. Donn was a simple kind caring man, who had a love of the great outdoors and had a passion for woodworking and refurbishing antiques over the years with his wife Patricia. He loved working on his property, his daily visits to the beach with Pat, and time spent with his sons and family and friends. Donn will be greatly missed. Please join us for a memorial service for Donn to beheld at DEVLIN CHAPEL, Gibsons on Saturday August 30, 2014 at 2:00pm. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Mary’s for their care. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation. The family would like to invite friends and family for a gathering at the acreage after the service for a Celebration of Donn’s life.

Ivan Wayne Hink 1951 – 2014 Ivan Wayne Hink passed away August 12, 2014 at Boundary Trails Health Centre following a battle with cancer.

Wayne was born August 15, 1951, the eldest child of Rudolph (predeceased 1996) and Elsie Hink (predeceased 2006) of Miami, MB where he grew up. As a teenager he was a Queen Scout and an excellent marksman. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, gardening and his dog. He also read extensively about nature and history. He enjoyed playing cards and could do challenging crosswords in pen. He was a private man with a great love for nature.

Wayne resided in Gibsons, BC for 35 years and worked as a glazier.

Here he had many friends, belonged to the Legion and enjoyed playing darts. After an initial bout of cancer, he returned to Manitoba living at Kaleida to be closer to family.
