The Sunshine Coast’s Aborigi-nal and Eco Tour Services BC

kiosk, located in the Sechelt Infor-mation Centre, officially opened May 8 with song, prayer, and ap-plause from all sectors of the tour-ism industry. The first of its kind in North America, the kiosk of-fers one-stop shopping for visitors longing for an eco-friendly cultural experience. Full tour packages in-clude kayak or Zodiac tours, griz-

zly bear or whale watching, and aboriginal cultural experiences. The brainchild of Candace Campo and Audrey Lochrie, the opening ceremonies celebrated an expand-ed partnership between Sunshine Coast tourism sectors, the Sechelt Visitor Centre and Aboriginal and Eco Tour Services BC. Follow-ing an opening song of welcome, shíshálh elder Valerie Joe stepped forward to offer a prayer, Walking

on the Right Path. In thanking her, Campo called Joe “a real resource to the community,” one of those responsible for the shíshálh lan-guage revitalization and one of the few able to speak, read and write fluently in her mother tongue.

An enthused Lochrie said she felt the project was “ riding the wave of the energy on the Sunshine Coast.” Campo added “the Sunshine Coast has a really distinct quality” which

they hope to share with this new endeavor. The social enterprise is based on Campo and Lochrie’s cor-porate values: cultural awareness, respect and sustainability.

This pilot project, which Campo says “will give them our very best, supported with service and infor-mation,” is expected to expand throughout BC and eventually es-tablish a global reach. Heather Jeal

Audrey Lochrie, ecko Aleck and Candace Campo are building a social enterprise based on cultural awareness, respect and sustainability.

Why refinish?Whether you’ve had hard-wood floors for a long rime or just discovered them under old carpeting, you’ve probably considered refinishing them. Waxing and/or buffing often provides a good shine but refinishing the floor is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood.

Editor’s Note: Maya Treuheit is a pioneer – the first Student Trustee to serve on the School District No. 46 Board. This month she takes her turn, as each of the Trust-ees have done in rotation, to report to constituents on the Board’s activities and vision.

The power and poten-tial of this generation of students continues to leave me in awe, and that is why my excitement and passion for the position of Student Trustee endures. The BC-STA AGM (April 24 – 27) was an incredibly humbling experience. It reinforced that when I invest myself in a project such as advocating for Student Voice, the only way to ensure success is to put in every ounce of my heart and emotion into car-rying it forward. I am hon-oured with the support and love of SD46, our District Student Leadership Team as well as Vancouver Stu-dent Trustee Nick Milum, members of the Vancouver District Student Council, Student Voice Initiative, and OSTA-AECO, who all rallied together in sup-port of Motion 18 re Stu-dent Trustees at the BCSTA AGM. Congratulations to

Board encourages student participation

everyone involved! Having Motion 18 pass was a great accomplishment.

Closer to home, on April 30 our district held a Stu-dent Forum at the Sechelt Learning Center to band together an even stronger student voice. Seven stu-dents from each of the four high schools participated, along with all members of the District Student Lead-ership Team, and all School Trustees. The atmosphere in the room was about positivity and contribu-tion, and I am pleased that students were able to interact with Trustees on a

first name basis, to lift the veil between them and the Board. So many wonderful ideas came out of the day, and we will see many of them come to light in the near future! When I first started back in November, I had no idea what I was in for, but I can now say that I understand what it feels like to be a proud mother! Student voice in this dis-trict is like my baby, and all I want to do is show it off to the rest of the world so they can see the potential each and every student has to change the world!

BC’s Lieutenant-Gover-nor Judith Guichon pro-claimed Saturday, May 10 as Hospital Auxiliary Day in BC, and on the sunlit morning volunteers from St. Mary’s team gathered at Trail Bay Mall to present the proclamation to Sech-elt Mayor John Henderson and celebrating with a walk down Cowrie Street. At the 70th Annual Conference of the BC Association of

Healthcare Auxiliaries held in Kelowna April 28 to 30, delegates from the Sunshine Coast attended seminars on topics such as demen-tia, conflict resolution, and fraud awareness, applauded David MacLean’s keynote address “There is no ‘just a’ in volunteer,” and enjoyed a special appearance by El-vis. Auxiliaries compete in a number of ways, and St. Mary’s photographer, Allan

Forest, won two top awards for his work. In the category of ‘Connecting with other auxiliary members,’ his shot of the Cancer Awareness Pink Glove Dance took first place; in the category of ‘Connecting with public/patients’ his study ‘Remem-brance Day wreath pre-sentation – Roberts Creek (which appeared on the cover of The Local Weekly) also copped a blue ribbon.

Volunteers celebrate Hospital Auxiliary Day

An annual early-season favourite, the Ladies Fish-ing Derby – which laid dormant for a number of years – returns for a two-day event of socializing, activi-ties and – oh yes - fishing. Organized by the team at PropertyGuys.com in their spare time, the derby is as much a social event as a sporting one. With roots stretching back to 1985, the

derby’s return is receiving an enthusiastic welcome.

The event opens Friday evening, June 6 with a so-cial gathering, talent and games. Saturday is devoted to fishing, with the weigh-in followed by a buffet dinner, prize presentation, and live entertainment sponsored by Sunshine Coast Credit Union. Tick-ets ($60) are on sale un-

til June 1; contact Sandy Scofield at 604-741-5706 or email [email protected] to reserve. Ticket includes all activi-ties and the T-shirt. Lots of great prizes to be won! All proceeds will be shared by the Mary Lou Lymer Memorial Fund and the Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society.

Ladies Fishing Derby returns

When the Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Asso-ciation (SCDRA) hosts its first drag race of the season on May 24 and 25, club co-founder Ted Meldrum will be there in spirit. In his honour, the races will carry his name: The Ted Meldrum Memorial Drag Races. Meldrum – de-scribed as a quiet but en-ergetic and organized gen-tleman – passed away in 2013 after a struggle with cancer. He could always be

counted on to ‘get the job done’ and was the catalyst for many projects.

Cash prizes will be avail-able for all race classes: Street Machine, Super Street, Street Rod, Hot Rod and Exhibition. There will also be cash for the driver with the best reaction time and the car with the fastest ET in eliminations. With a test ‘n’ tune Saturday, racers will need to be prepared if they want in on Sunday’s available cash prizes.

All racers and specta-tors are welcome! Bring friends, chairs, sun screen and be prepared to have a good time! Please re-member that pets aren’t permitted on the site. Gate admission is $10 for spectators and racers, with children under 12 fee when accompanied by an adult; racing fee is $50 for non-members, $35 for members. More info: www.scdraonline.ca

Letter to the Editor – Opinions

LocaltheweekLy

Kindness starts with thoughtfulnessBe Kind to Animals Week usually kicks off with a heart-

rending story of cruelty – but most mistreatment of ani-mals, birds, and species other than human is rooted in sheer thoughtlessness.

The person who leaves a dog in a car with the window cracked open (“I’ll only be a minute!”) is not thinking that direct sunlight will raise the car’s temperature to life-threat-ening levels in a matter of minutes. They’re not thinking that they might just run into a neighbour itching for a chat, or face a short wait for service that turns into a longer wait for whatever reason. They didn’t think that it might be kind-er to resist the pleading looks and leave Rover at home. (And that hang-dog expression disappears as soon as the audience leaves, whereupon Rover goes and naps on whatever surface he’s normally forbidden.)

Most people don’t think like animals. They might behave like them – but that’s a whole ‘nother editorial.

Animals see things differently than we do. Most of them, particularly dogs, have the impulses of a two-year-old. Is it on the ground? Then it is fair game for any dog, cat, bird, or toddler and into the mouth it goes. Thoughtlessly dropped cigarette butts, candy wrappers, and detritus from bush par-ties can wind up in the gut or the paws of a passing animal.

True, and recent, story: a friend with a golden Labrador puppy – a dog that takes ‘cute’ to a whole new level – took her out for a stroll along one of the paths on his acreage to clean up an area where youngsters had congregated to waste time and get wasted. Labradors are notorious for eating any-thing and everything and this pup, true to her breed, helped with the cleanup. Within minutes, she was vomiting a foul-smelling mucous that reeked of skunk. An immediate trip to the vet diagnosed marijuana poisoning from ingesting the dropped remainders of a joint. Several hours later, the golden lab was black from the charcoal that had been forced into her to absorb the poison (and the veterinary team were none to clean either). The poor animal took a week to recover, and is very lucky that prompt care was available. The thoughtless twit that dropped that spent joint never dreamed it could be consumed – and poison – an animal, we’re sure.

Dropping debris – littering – is a thoughtless act. We see children regularly dropping wrappers, plastic cups and other trash where they stand in the schoolyards even though bins are just steps away. This leads to a cavalier attitude to garbage among the adults they grow into.

Being kind to animals means being thoughtful of our ev-eryday actions, whether we share our homes with animals or just share the planet with them.

Those at the top of the food chain have great power; now it’s time to exercise great responsibility.Heather Jeal

Now that the budget is complete, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) staff and directors concentrate on areas impor-tant for the function of the regional district and address other concerns that our constituents have presented.

With their budgets in place, SCRD staff are able to accomplish the work plans in each service func-tion. These work plans in-clude everything from ener-gy upgrades, which result in financial savings, to market-ing Hillside Industrial Park to bring business and jobs to the Coast. The staff and directors are looking at ev-ery positive and sustainable opportunity to increase the industrial tax base.

Coast WatchGarry NohrChair Sunshine Coast Regional District and Repesentative for Halfmoon Bay, Area B

SCRD moving forward in 2014With budget in place, staff and directors focus on growth, improvement, and protection of assets

Each year before bud-get time, staff and direc-tors of the regional district look back and assess what has been accomplished to achieve more jobs and to sustain existing businesses, while trying to attract new business opportunities to the Coast. In June, the re-gional district directors will be meeting with other elected officials from Gib-sons, Sechelt Indian Band, and the District of Sechelt to discuss regional econom-ic development in order to work on projects that sup-port business and tourism on the whole Coast.

We are also assisting con-stituents with issues that are not in the regional district mandate, for example: road and bicycle lane improve-ments; BC Ferry fares and schedules; coal barges trav-elling through the Salish

Sea; the shipping of gravel barges and LNG tankers in Howe Sound; and the pos-sibility of a waste incinera-tor in that area. The Telus phone company has been putting in high-speed in-ternet and high-definition cable TV on the Coast, and people on the Gulf Islands and in other areas of poor connectivity are asking the SCRD directors to help them get service.

There needs to be a strong relationship with local First Nations governments in order to attract tourists and business to the coast. The SCRD board includes the Sechelt Indian Government District (SIGD). There is a protocol agreement with the Sechelt Band which covers such areas as support for each other on drinking water, conservation, land is-sues, and business relation-

ships. The SCRD will soon have a protocol agreement with the Squamish Nation, who are looking to develop their band land close to Gibsons. In June, a Com-munity-to-Community Fo-rum presented by Sechelt Indian Band will include the Squamish Nation and local elected officials. This will be an opportunity for all of the local governments to discuss regional econom-ic development and to bet-ter understand the cultural and business direction of each band.

Please contact me about any of these items or other concerns at 604-741-2427 or [email protected]. I am available for discussions at SCRD or in Halfmoon Bay at Welcome Beach Market on Tuesdays at 9:15 or the Halfmoon Bay store from 10 to 12 on Fridays.

Embracing changeI have just read the first

edition of the new publica-tion, Sunshine Coast Busi-ness put out by The Local and I want to compliment the Publisher on the very positive spin they put on life on the Sunshine Coast. Susan Attiana’s commen-tary “Embracing Change” is refreshing and provides optimism for those of us (hopefully the majority) who are supportive of a strong, growing and vi-brant community. What a welcome read! This brings me to another local pub-lication which I have en-joyed reading since moving

to the Coast. I always look forward to picking up the quarterly edition of Sun-shine CoastLife. Their edi-torials and articles are en-tertaining and informative whilst painting an inviting picture of life on our Coast and it is, in part, through these publications that I have come to learn a lot about our new community and the people within it. In addition to the positive re-inforcement I have received from the above publica-tions, I recently attended a very inspiring presentation by Candace Campo and Audrey Lochrie who were showcasing their plans for

Aboriginal and Ecotour-ism marketing for the coast. Their energy was infectious and the audience enthusi-astic. The potential here is enormous! Suddenly there appears to be a groundswell of positive activity amongst independent business and government initiatives in building our coastal com-munities into a successful, world-class place to live or visit. It’s very encouraging. Let’s hope that whoever gets elected this coming Novem-ber retains the vision and energy to continue with the process rather than stepping back into the past.

Laureen Harper re-cently added her support for National Health and Fitness Day (NHFD), to highlight the initiative in partnership with the Trans Canada Trail. At an event in Ottawa attended by Senator Nancy Greene Raine and MP John Weston (West Vancouver – Sunshine Coast – Sea to Sky Country), Mrs. Harp-er highlighted the impor-tance of National Health and Fitness Day and the value of the Trans Canada Trail as a unifying feature for all Canadians.

“I see the trail as a uni-

fying project with many healthy themes and lead-ing up to Canada’s 150th Anniversary. I am pleased that National Health and Fitness Day also brings together communities from coast to coast to coast unified both by the trail and their common commitment to positive physical activity,” said Laureen Harper.

Senator Nancy Green Raine added, “Canada has a physical inactivity prob-lem that is quickly becom-ing an obesity problem. By marking National Health and Fitness Day on the

TransCanada Trail, all Ca-nadians can benefit from these important initiatives.”

“Canada should be the fittest nation on earth,” Weston declared. The driv-ing force behind NHFD, he noted that “over 100 communities have already endorsed National Health and Fitness Day. As we move to a third annual cel-ebration we hope to see ev-ery town and city behind this initiative. Commu-nities can use the day to highlight the serious issues associated with physical inactivity.”Submitted

Madeira Park Elementary school may be experiencing declining enrollments, but its students enjoy a high-quality interactive educa-tion that could be the envy of many schools in more populous areas, even Van-couver’s west side.

Enriching field trips and activities “have students div-ing into the curriculum a little deeper,” says Principal Barry Krangle. Each class spent a day in Vancouver, touring cultural centres and accessing resources for a broader understanding of the larger community. While primary classes en-joyed a workshop at the Aquarium, touring and studying the displays, the grade three and four stu-dents studied the fur trade, gold rush and settlement of early Vancouver with a visit to Burnaby Heritage Museum and Fort Langley. Grade five and six students furthered their inquiry about racism and discrimi-nation in Canada through a visit to a Sikh temple and a tour of Chinatown – learn-ing about struggles these groups have experienced in immigrating, settling, and becoming citizens.

“It is expensive to get off the rock, so we always try to take advantage of what the city has to offer,” Krangle

Experiential education enthuses students

explained, pointing out that each trip was balanced with recreational activities like hiking through Lynn Can-yon, touring Stanley Park on tandem bikes, or explor-ing urban beaches.

Tapping in to the Coast’s rich arts community, the school designated May 12 – 16 as Fine Arts Week, hosting a variety of artists and performers who vol-unteered to work with the students: painters, potters, classical performers, and folk singers will help the students ‘kick it up a notch.’ The week winds up with the Madeira Park Elemen-tary Circus, with students coached by local performer Gerardo Avalia performing for parents and community members.

As a logical extension of inviting the community into the school, in June Madeira Park offers a Week Without Walls. “Each class will be involvedin local studies and excursions to

compliment our commit-ment to environmental education,” says Krangle. Students will study local history and mapping as they boat around the harbour, enjoy pond and aquatic studies at Iris Griffith En-vironment Center, examine beaver ponds with a hike through Smugglers Cove, and acknowledge Aborigi-nal heritage with a climb up Mount Daniel.

Krangle credits the strong involvement of parents and caregivers as being key to the school’s success. “We are so fortunate to have such a sup-portive parent community to help make these kind of studies and opportunities possible,” he says. With re-duced work opportunities to support families, enrollments are declining and budgets are stretched tight – but quality education continues to be a priority for Pender Harbour residents. “We make sure each one of our students gets the same opportunities, but it is costly.”

To find out more about the Madeira Park Elemen-tary program, visit their page at www.sd46.bc.ca. To find out more about the cir-cus performance or any of the experiential education programs, call the school at 604-883-2373.Heather Jeal

Pender Harbour’s 69th Annual May Day – one of Canada’s longest-running long weekend celebrations – offers a full day of fam-ily fun, starting with the traditional Lions’ Pancake Breakfast and winding up with an evening adults-only dance to the band Playback at the Commu-

nity Hall in Madeira Park on Saturday, May 17.

Early risers will be on the road in front of Pru-dential Sussex Realty at 8 a.m. for the Family Fun Run. The less energetic will be at the Lions’ tent, enjoying a pancake break-fast before heading to the government wharf for the

Kids (12 and under) fish-ing derby.

At 11 a.m., line the street in beautiful down-town Madeira Park for the annual May Day parade, followed by the crowning of the 69th May Queen – young Julia Massullo pre-sides over the festivities this year.

Park the car and take a free shuttle to the eight venues participating in this year’s Roberts Creek Arts Festival, May 16 to 18. Each venue offers a unique experience of art, music, food and more, celebrating the highest calibre arts in dream-come-true collab-orative locations. Daytime venues are open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and a $5 wrist-band provides admission to all daytime performances. Tickets are required for eve-ning events.

Shuttle leaves the Park at Ride at 1088 Roberts Creek Road every 45 minutes, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Cyclists who ride to the venues should present their bike helmets at each venue and enter to win a $200 gift certificate from Spin Cycles.

Roberts Creek Hall, a

new venue this year, offers a broad spectrum of musi-cal stylings courtesy of the Dreamberry Studios team. Musicians from L.A., Van-couver, Colorado and San Francisco will rock the world on May 16 and 17. When the musicians aren’t performing, a selection of documentary films will be screened in the hall.

Creek Clayworks also joins the Festival in 2014. Located on five acres sur-rounded by woods and on the edge of an open field with a view of Mt. Elphin-stone, ceramic artists Mike Allegretti and Elaine Fut-terman’s working studio will be transformed during the Festival into a Gallery for the paintings, glass, wooden masks and photography for a variety of artists. Add in films, music, and food for a memorable experience.

Music, art, food and film at RC Arts Festival

From noon to 4 p.m. in the Madeira Park El-ementary school grounds, enjoy longboard hockey, a maypole dance, children’s games, a petting zoo and pony rides. Vendors of crafts and home-baked treats line the site, and live music by ‘Altered’ in-vites everyone to get up and dance.

A children’s dance from 5:30 until 7 p.m. will help the younger ones burn off any leftover energy.

After getting their sec-ond wind (and a sitter) adults will head back to the Pender Harbour Com-munity Hall to dance to Playback. Doors open at 8 p.m., music starts at 9 with door prizes and fun throughout the evening.

Venture out of Madei-ra Park and enjoy lots of ‘fringe’ events and activi-ties throughout Pender Harbour, including na-ture walks and demos at Iris Griffith Centre near Ruby Lake, blues and views at Garden Bay, Egmont’s rich history at the Heritage Centre, and a tour of Agamem-non Channel and Sech-elt Narrows by Zodiac or kayak. It might require more than one day; it might require a whole weekend of discovery. Area resorts, restau-rants and accommoda-tions are now open for the summer, so consider a sleepover at special shoulder-season rates.Heather Jeal

They’re back. Nick, Jesse, Relic, Molly and Constable Constable return to en-tertain in the wacky com-edy/mystery Murder at the Reach with the audience invited to join in the fun between the courses of this dinner theatre production.

Set in 1990, we return to Gibson’s Landing after the departure of the CBC. Without the MotherCorp., Molly just hasn’t been able to maintain The Reach and is under pressure from all sides, particularly from evil developer Ronald Crump, to sell the restaurant. A

fundraising ‘Gala Gala Do’ goes awry and noth-ing is as it seems – with surprising relationships revealed, and complicated ‘affairs.’

The plot thickens, the storm brews and there is… a Murder!… or two!

The cast might not have a Clue, but the audience does – and joins in to help Constable John Consta-ble solve the crime. Or crimes. Was it Relic in the boathouse with the rope? Was it Jesse in the Reach with a wrench? And where does The Ronald fit in?

And what about that lot-tery ticket?

Or Medicine Hat?The cheeky script by In-

grid Bilton, Mac Dodge, Bill Forst, Joanne Benni-son and Stephen Archibald moves rapidly, and the audi-ence must be on its toes to catch all the clues and the sneaky hints. It’s an evening of great fun, with prizes courtesy of Persephone (the beer farm, not the boat.)

Performances of Murder at The Reach begin at the Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club in Roberts Creek May 16 and 17,

move to Sunnycrest Mall at Boomers Burger Bar May 23 and 24, Pebbles Restau-rant in Sechelt June 6 and 7, back to Gibsons June 13 at Leo’s Greek Restaurant, winding up at Madeira Park Community Hall with BBQ by Chef Doug Davis on June 14.

Choose your venue; mark it in your calendar today!

Tickets are $40 for the play plus a delicious meal and dessert, and are avail-able by contacting the par-ticular restaurant venue, or call Bill at 604-840-0304.

do it again, someone stops us and asks about the sale and talks about the great sunflowers that they have grown often with the help of their children or grand-children. Knowing that our sunflowers create such joy and contribute to the fight

against HIV and AIDS in Africa keeps us inspired.”

Though you should reach out to others as you do the work of mourning, you should not feel obligated to accept the unhelpful re-sponses you may receive from some people. You are the one who is grieving, and as such, you have certain “rights” no one should try to take away from you.

You have the right to experi-ence your own unique grief.

No one else will grieve in exactly the same way you do. So, when you turn to others for help, don’t allow them to tell what you should or should not be feeling.

You have the right to talk about your grief.

Talking about your grief will help you heal. Seek out others who will allow you to talk as much as you want, as often as you want, about your grief. You also have the right to be silent.

You have the right to feel a multitude of emotions.

Confusion, disorienta-tion, fear, guilt and relief are just a few of the emo-tions you might feel as part of your grief journey. Don’t take these judgmental re-sponses to heart. Instead, find listeners who will ac-cept your feelings without condition.

You have the right to be tolerant of your physical and emotional limits.

Your feelings of loss and sadness will probably leave you feeling fatigued. Re-spect what your body and mind are telling you. Get daily rest. Eat balanced meals. And don’t allow oth-ers to push you into doing things you don’t feel ready to do.

You have the right to expe-rience “griefbursts.”

Sometimes, out of no-where, a powerful surge of grief may overcome you. This can be frightening, but is normal and natural. Find

Mourners have the right to grievesomeone who understands and will let you talk it out.

You have the right to make use of ritual.

The funeral ritual does more than acknowledge the death of someone loved. It helps provide you with the support of caring people. More importantly, the funeral is a way for you to mourn.

You have the right to em-brace your spirituality.

If faith is a part of your life, express it in ways that seem appropriate to you. Allow yourself to be around people who understand and support your religious or spiritual beliefs. If you feel angry at God, find someone to talk with who won’t be critical of your feelings of hurt and abandonment.

You have the right to search for meaning.

You may find yourself ask-ing, “Why did he or she die? Why this way? Why now?”

Some of your questions may have answers, but some may not. And watch out for the clichéd responses some peo-ple may give you. You do not have to accept them.

You have the right to trea-sure your memories.

Memories are one of the best legacies that exist after the death of someone loved. You will always remember. Instead of ignoring your memories, find others with whom you can share them.

You have the right to move toward grief and heal.

Reconciling your grief will not happen quickly. Remember, grief is a pro-cess, not an event. Be pa-tient and tolerant with yourself and avoid people who are impatient and in-tolerant with you. Neither you nor those around you must forget that the death of someone loved changes your life forever. Alan D. Wolfelt Ph.D

Last week in Vancouver, the annual Turn to the Sun Sunflower Seedling Fund-raiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation sold out their stock of over 1200 sunflow-ers in two hours! Luckily, for Sunshine Coast residents there is the opportunity to take part in both supporting the work of grassroots HIV-AIDS programs in Africa and beautifying your garden

Turn to the Sun this Saturdaywith these gorgeous flowers at the Coast’s own 10th An-nual Sunshine Coast Turn to the Sun Sunflower Seed-ling Fundraiser on Saturday, May 17 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at 1163 Cedar Grove Road, Roberts Creek.

All of our campus em-ployees are very active in a range of community events, initiatives and projects. The annual event is hosted by our Sunshine Coast Region-al Campus Dean Jean Ben-nett. There will be a variety of both sizes and types of sunflowers to choose from.

This year marks the tenth

anniversary of the sale and Bennett has been holding the event for about seven years on the coast. Dur-ing that time more than $54,000 has been raised to support the work of the Ste-phen Lewis Foundation in sub-Saharan Africa. As an active community mem-ber as well as the Dean of our Regional Campus, she is really proud that the Sunshine Coast chapter of the sale has contributed about $5000 towards this amount.

Soak wooden or bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Cut vegetables into one-inch chunks:2 medium red or white potatoes, pre-cooked until fork-tender1 cup firm or extra-firm tofu chunks1 cup red, yellow or green bell pepper chunks1 cup pineapple chunks1 cup red onion chunks1 cup white button mushrooms1 cup zucchini or yellow squash chunks1 cup cherry tomatoesFor the marinade, whisk together in a small bowl:1/2 cup olive oil1/2 cup lemon or lime juice1/4 cup water1/4 cup Dijon mustard2 tablespoons maple syrup2 tablespoons minced garlic2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepperDirections:

Place potatoes and the vegetables in a shallow dish or con-tainer. Pour marinade over vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.Remove vegetables from the marinade, reserving mari-

nade. Thread vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors. Grill until vegetables are lightly charred all over, about 10 minutes, basting with reserved marinade and turning oc-casionally.

The marinade can be prepared in advance and held cov-ered in the refrigerator for up to seven days.

To many Canadians, the Victoria Day long week-end marks the unofficial beginning of summer, syn-onymous with backyard barbecues, and picnics, and opening the cabin for the season.

Backyard barbecues, in particular, have become a staple of Victoria Day week-end and the focus of many people’s festivities. This year, consider the following tips to make your Victoria Day bar-becue safe and memorable.

Assuming the barbe-cue has not been in service during the winter months (many Coasters BBQ all year round), bring it out of its storage spot, place in a level site away from vegeta-tion and flammable materi-als, and give it a good clean-ing. Even if you thoroughly cleaned the grill and vents at

the end of last season, give it a once-over with a soapy sponge at the start of the season to clean any cob-webs, dirt and grime that might have accumulated over the winter.

Stock up on fuel. Falling short in the charcoal or pro-pane department is a back-yard barbecue faux pas that can bring the festivities to a halt. Because the weather in late May can sometimes be unpredictable, make sure you have extra fuel on hand should strong winds or cold-er temperatures make it dif-ficult to build a strong fire.

Spice things up. Why not use this year’s Victoria Day barbecue to add a little extra flavor to traditional barbe-cue fare? Soak some dried herbs like rosemary, bay leaves or oregano in water, place them on foil at the

Celebrate Victoria Day with a memorable BBQ

Fire up the barbecue on the long weekend, and offer a variety of grilled veggies as well as meats that will appeal to all appetites.

back of the grill. These fla-vorful herbs will make the food taste better, and the grill will likely emit a more pleasant fragrance as well.

Prepare foods for guests with varying palates. Veg-etarians and vegans love a good backyard barbecue just as much as their car-nivorous friends and family members. Cook some veg-etable kabobs and prepare some salads for guests who don’t eat meat. Consider purchasing a smaller grill for veggies only, as vegetarians and vegans might not prefer to eat kabobs grilled on the same grill as meat.

While cooking, never use a fork to do a spatula’s job. Poking foods on the grill with a fork allows the juices that make grilled foods so

delicious to escape, resulting in drier fare that’s not nearly as flavorful. Use a spatula or tongs to flip foods, includ-ing burgers, steaks, chicken, and even hot dogs.

Make sure foods have completely defrosted before placing them on the grill. When cold meat is placed on the grill, it reduces the grill’s temperature and pre-vents juices from getting seared in the food. So make sure all foods have been de-frosted to ensure your foods are flavorful and the grill stays hot.

This year, welcome the unofficial start of summer with a successful Victoria Day barbecue in the back-yard with family, friends and great food. Metro

Tip of the Week:As Taurus yields to

Gemini this week, in the wake of the Scorpio Full Moon, this time mer-its some extra attention. The Solar Eclipse in late April planted some po-tent seeds. Not everyone has the soil destined to produce the abundance it implies, yet everyone is feeling the impact. The steadily escalating gas prices are one of the more obvious synchronistic ca-sualties with the greater collective bearing the brunt. That the Moon was in close proximity to Sat-urn is yet another reflec-tion of this additional fis-cal weight and restriction.

Venus in Aries, not its bet placement, in close alignment with Uranus suggests that this rather sudden hike is also syn-chronizing with a general state of stress, dissatisfac-tion and even rebellion. When such a fundamen-tal commodity that af-fects so many people and commerce in general, it is bound to produce shock waves rumbling in every direction. In other words inflation across the no-tion is the obvious conse-quence.

Other factors in the planetary portrait indi-cate that the real reac-tion will be delayed, but it will come. It will likely take until about mid-June before the collective dis-content rises and it will escalate through July and peak in August. When private interests disrupt the general economy, an-ger, distrust and cynicism are common reactions. The Gemini factor that has already begun and will continue throughout June will at least produce a lot of chatter on the airwaves and of course in the me-dia, social and otherwise.

It seems quite appro-priate that the new and bigger than ever repre-sentation of Godzilla and with a unique twist (Ve-nus conjunct Uranus) in that it is pitted with hu-manity against a common enemy – greed, arrogance and corruption, is slated to be released right at the time of the Scorpio Full Moon born of the Solar Eclipse which occurred on the heels of the first of

4 Lunar Eclipses or what have come to be called by some as the ‘blood moon tetrad’. Yes, signs of the times.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)A process of building

upon new foundations continues. This focus di-rectly includes creating a new state and quality of harmony in your re-lationship life. Equality is a key word. The chal-lenge includes innovative thoughts, attitudes and ac-tion. In other words, your ability to break with ha-bitual modes of engaging with others implies new psychological territory.Taurus (Apr 20–May 21)

Perpetuating a momen-tum that you have been creating over the past cou-ple of years or so is a cen-tral theme. Accessing with constitutes your authentic self is featured. What do you really think and feel deep down? Accessing this core level of motivation is a key to your outer suc-cess. This will facilitate and clarify effective com-munications.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Focusing your efforts close to home, or behind the scenes, remains im-portant. In some way this constitutes inner work. Yet, with the Sun about to enter your sign, you will feel the impulse to take new leads soon. Already you are thinking and per-haps talking about it. This is all part of a process of preparing for new modes of expression or your next big thing.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The foundations of new friendships and other al-liances have begun. Yet these have and continue to include a break with old patterns. Some sort of ren-ovation process is implied. It could be in your home but it may be in your per-spectives and approach. Combine your talents and resources with those of others for best results.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)A series of unexpected

twists and turns in your public and professional life are challenging you to remain open and flex-ible. Fortunately, your energy and enthusiasm levels stand to be riding high. Still, you may feel the need to access your hidden reserves of faith. Perpetuating open lines of communication with fam-ily, friends and business contacts is a key to peace of mind.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)People and circumstanc-

es are pushing you to see both a bigger and deeper picture. Things may sim-ply not be as straightfor-ward as you would like. This is a call to adapt and this trend will continue. Exchanges of ideas and key communications espe-cially linked to your career and professional life are important.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Getting clear somehow

continues. This could in-clude clearing debts, or clearing closets or getting clear regarding answers you are seeking. Either way, you are pushing for results. Contending with a few curve balls on rela-tionship fronts has and continues to pose chal-lenges as well. This is one of those times for a philo-sophical perspective.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Who has what you want and need? A steady flow of change in your daily rhythm finds you seeking allies. Breaking through inner and outer blocks and obstacles is a core mo-tivation. The real answers and solutions you seek to current circumstances could take several weeks to resolve. This is a call for some serious thinking and strategies.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Creating a healthier overall flow continues. Entertaining alternative angles and approaches will prove inspiring. Already you are engaging in active communications leading to new deals and collabo-rations. It is quite possible that dreams are being re-alized. Your sights are set on the future and the time is right to adjust to a new norm.Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19)

Your creative juices have been flowing steadily over the past few weeks. These are inspiring you to make innovative changes close to home. Your real asser-tions remain prominent in your career, so each is sig-nificantly influencing the other. Casting a critical eye on people feels neces-sary in order to make some needed improvements.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Your focus on home and family remains strong. Your path is hardly straight and narrow. Circumstanc-es have and continue to produce unexpected turns and surprises. You yearn to break free from the grip of this uncertain cycle. You should see a shift this week. This shift will sup-port more active com-munications and inspire

imaginative ideas.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A whole host of plans, dreams and schemes are running through you mind. You are determined to activate changes that will produce more satis-fying returns. Although you have likely been working diligently to this end, your resolve to work even harder is on the rise. Brainstorm for innovative ideas and modes of ap-proach for best results.

Obit Thibert 3may14

Born Aug 19 1937 - April 23, 2014, Dorothy passed away with her loving fam-ily beside her. Left behind her husband Marcel Thibert, children: Bill, Denise, Ramona, Diana, Danny, Kevin, Timothy, along with added family and friends. She has a great legacy of grand chil-dren and great grandchildren who talk about her often. Dorothy was a woman of many strengths, believed in a reason behind every-thing. She also had great belief in her church and knew she would be at peace. She had a smile that touched everyone who walked by her. The family would like to thank the nurses, doctors and staff at To-tem Lodge for being there. We love you Mommy. Rest in peace. xo

The provincial govern-ment is providing over $1.6 million in new grants to control the spread of inva-sive plants, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-erations Minister Steve Thomson announced. The 29 grants are being given to local governments, regional invasive species commit-tees and the Invasive Spe-cies Council of BC to assist their activities and support the objectives of the provin-cial Invasive Plant Program. This funding is in addition to the $809,000 already ear-marked by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations for invasive plant control and management in 2014-15.

Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into British Columbia from other areas. They displace our native vegetation and can cause considerable eco-nomic and environmental damage, and some pose a health risk to people. In-vasive plants may disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect com-mercial crops.

Barry Gibbs, chair, Inva-sive Species Council of Brit-ish Columbia, notes that “Invasive species impact British Columbia’s com-munities in many ways. Whether it’s the cost to our agriculture industry or a loss of natural biodiversity, in-vasive species are a concern. The support provided by the ministry is vital to the ef-forts of our council and our partners to prevent new in-troductions and respond to

The 2014-2016 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis is now online, and will soon be available in hard copy at Service BC centres and local hunting licence vendors across the province.

The Hunting and Trap-ping Regulations Synopsis is published every two years, and is a summary of the BC hunting and trapping regulations made under the Wildlife Act, prepared for the convenience of hunt-ers and trappers. Hunters should note that the 2014-2016 Hunting and Trap-ping Regulations Synopsis is effective from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016; the 2012-2014 Hunting and Trap-ping Regulations Synopsis remains in effect until June 30, 2014.

This year’s cover photo depicts an outdoorsman looking out on one of the many amazing vistas in BC’s northeast. For any shutter-bugs that want to be simi-larly immortalized, a second contest is still underway for the cover of the 2015-2017 Freshwater Fishing Regula-tions Synopsis. Photos sub-mitted must be relevant to freshwater angling in British Columbia, and there is no limit to the number of sub-missions. Photographs for the Fishing Synopsis must be e-mailed to [email protected] before October 1, 2014 to be con-sidered. Complete contest rules can be found online at http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/photo.html. Submitted

BC grants $1.6 million to fight invasive plants

existing populations of in-vasive species. Since the ma-jority of BC is Crown land, the government’s support is also critical for promoting collaborative action across administrative boundaries.”

Regional invasive species committees, the Invasive Species Council of BC, lo-cal governments, provincial government ministries and stakeholders all work to-gether to raise public aware-ness of invasive plants, sur-vey and map invasive plant populations, and actively treat high-priority sites to control the spread of inva-sive plants.

Funding has also been granted to the Invasive Spe-cies Council of BC to assist with provincial collabora-tion, co-ordination and communication, develop-ment of best management practices, and expanded methods to increase aware-ness and reporting of inva-sive species. The Invasive Species Council of BC is based in Williams Lake.

Regional committees are non-profit societies that serve as forums for land managers and other stake-holders to co-ordinate in-vasive plant treatment ac-tivities and participate in outreach and educational opportunities. There are currently 13 regional inva-sive species committees in the province.Submitted

Many homeowners feel a sense of renewal in the spring, when the desire to clean house and get orga-nized becomes a priority.

Garages are often targets for homeowners hoping to target clutter. Organiz-ing the garage is typically a weekend or several-day project. It’s usually a signifi-cant undertaking best tack-led with two or more people to make the project less in-timidating.

Start tby taking inven-tory of what you have, what has not been used for some time and can be cleared out, and what must be kept. Think about storage and access. Tools and items that are used more often should be stored within reach or where easily visible. Group like items together: garden tools, camping gear, sport-ing equipment, and auto-motive supplies should be stored in their own areas.

Make a plan and de-clutter for springInvest in vertical storage systems, hooks, clear storage bins and/or a peg board full of hooks for oft-used items.

Leave space for hobby and work areas. Then give the space a fresh coat of paint.

Periodic checks can keep a garage clean and orga-nized throughout the en-tire year and make yearly spring cleaning much more manageable. Metro

Camping is a popular activity, but many curious would-be campers do not know where to get started. Instead of jumping right in, first try to learn as much about camping as possible. Find a friend or family member who enjoys camp-ing out and ask to join in on their next trip. Take advan-tage of this person’s supplies (you may need to purchase nominal equipment, such as a backpack and sleep-

ing bag) and expertise. It is generally easier to learn the ropes from someone who has experience, and can of-fer suggestions about gear.

If your first trip inspires a genuine love of camping, then you can rent or pur-chase equipment.

Remember: you will be outdoors where wild ani-mals reside, and a campsite can attract anything from small rodents to larger pred-ators. Food should always

Camping 101 for the novicebe stored in insulated cool-ers stored away from the tent, off the ground and out of reach of animals. Dispose of garbage in covered trash receptacles. Do not feed wildlife, ever.

Camping is a popular pastime and an activity tai-lor-made for warmer weath-er. But beginners should learn the ropes and test their equipment before investing too much time and money. Metro
