For the sixteenth consecu-tive year, Roberts Creek

volunteers have brought art-ist/designer Rob Marion’s intricate mandala design to glowing life at the entrance to Roberts Creek pier. � is year’s design theme, the bee,

HEATHER JEALCONTRIBUTING RITER

is particularly apt. In the course of an intensive and creative week, the site was a hive of activity, honey-combed by volunteer artists of all ages busily painting their allotted section.

Typically, Marion spends three to � ve days design-ing the work on site (� rst in chalk, then in thinned white

paint). Once the design is laid down, members of the public � ock in to paint their own designs within the out-lines under supervision of volunteer organizers. Al-though each section is paint-ed independently by each in-dividual artist, the resulting mandala mosaic displays an amazing harmonious whole.

SUMMER JUNIOR CAMPfor ages 6 to 16

Earlier this spring, twelve employees from the Sechelt Branch of the Royal Bank of Canada volunteered at the Chapman Creek salmon hatchery as part of RBC’s Day of Service Grant program, assisting with grounds cleanup and a salmon release. �e pro-gram provides hands-on

assistance to charitable or-ganizations for one-time or short-term projects, along with a $1,000 grant.

Chapman Creek salmon hatchery is operated by the Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society (SC-SES) and releases up to a million salmon into coastal waters each year. Funds

for the hatchery operation come largely from indi-vidual and corporate do-nations from the Sunshine Coast, and many of the Hatchery operations are carried out by volunteers.

For more information, please contact the SCSES at 604-741-0549.Submitted

�e Farmers’ Market Coupon Program, which provides lower-income families, pregnant women and seniors with coupons for locally produced food is receiving an additional $2 million investment, Health Minister Terry Lake an-nounced recently.

Water levels in Chapman Lake and Creek, the Sun-shine Coast’s major drink-ing water source, have start-ed to drop as the last of the snow pack in the mountains has almost melted. � is is the time of year that the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) typically starts tapping into lake stor-age by gradually opening the control dam on Chap-man Lake, which releases � ows to the creek.

“From this point on, wa-ter storage will continue to decline. We’re relying solely on rainfall and wise water use to get us through the rest of the summer,”

says Dave Crosby, SCRD Utility Services Manager. “Since we never know what Mother Nature will throw our way, conserving water is paramount.”

The unprecedented drought of 2012 extended into October and resulted in Stage 4 water restrictions, banning all outdoor water use. Previously the SCRD never went higher than Stage 1 restrictions, except in 2010 when water treat-ment plant capacity (rather than water storage) required enacting Stage 2 restric-tions. Stage 2 reduces sprin-kling times to designated evenings only.

“Based on last year’s drought and our collective experience operating the water system over the years, we know the lake levels can drop rapidly past a certain point, and we are prepared to move to Stage 2 wa-ter restrictions before that point,” adds Crosby.

� e SCRD encourages property owners to let lawns go golden, and save limited water supplies for drinking and other essential services.

Visit www.scrd.ca/Sprinkling-Regulations for details on current wa-tering restrictions, or con-tact 604-885-6806.Submitted

An upcoming economic development webinar for local small business owners endorses the potential for small busi-ness to be a major economic driving force in their commu-nity. Forward-thinking members of Ignite (a small business accelerator group under the Community Futures umbrella) include Gibsons Councillor, entrepreneur and economic development innovator Charlene SanJenko.

SanJenko agrees with webinar presenters’ analysis, found online, that “communities with a high percentage of locally-owned businesses have greater wealth, higher voter turnout, better health outcomes and more jobs.” Resist the urge to say “well, duh!” Long-time Coast residents know that area businesses support our food banks, schools, sports teams, arts groups and hospital with generous donations of time, money and material.

Question is: are we supporting them in turn? �at recip-rocal support is part of building a healthy economy and a healthy community. A standout anecdote concerns a group who approached a local grocer for support. �e business-man provided a generous cheque, and the following day met the group aboard the ferry – happily reporting they were on their way to Costco to purchase food for their event with his donation because “it’s so much cheaper there!”

Point taken. Local suppliers’ prices may be higher than the city businesses, given that their costs, taxes and fees may be equal to or higher than those paid by their big-city-based competitors. And some Coast businesses are not above tak-ing advantage of a killer view to charge a walloping $11 for a four-ounce glass of wine or cocktail. (One former restau-rant owner said this was policy, “to keep out the ri� ra�.” I never went back, so it worked for me.) Additionally, one cannot help wondering about the reasoning behind prices at the Coastal gas pump. With Metro Vancouver residents subject to an additional 16 cents per liter in taxes, one won-ders if the cost to barge the stu� from Port Moody to the Coast and o�oad it at Port Mellon into tankers for delivery to Gibsons, Sechelt and Kleindale really accounts for that price di�erence.

But point given: local businesses provide a ‘cut’ from their income to support, directly, Coast non-pro�ts. City businesses give our community nothing – rien – nada – zip – zero – zilch. �ey don’t even provide real savings to the individual shopper, when one factors in cost of ferry, gas, wear and tear on nerves and vehicle, meals, impulse buys and so on.

Local businesses respond to local need and demand and often display the creativity for which the Coast is famous. For example: Harbour Haus in Gibsons discovered a sup-plier of quality Canadian-designed and locally-manufac-tured bamboo knit clothing. �e fabric itself is woven in Vancouver from chemical-free bamboo ‘juice’. She kept prices a�ordable, the product is outstanding – so where are the customers?

Our communities need to get busy with a Victoria-style ‘Eat, Shop and Be Local’ campaign: Shop Coastal, perhaps. Instead of focusing on traditional economic development that focuses on non-local businesses, let’s look at an ap-proach that creates an entrepreneurial ecosystem (like Ig-nite, on a larger scale).

As they say in Victoria, “Put your money where your heart is.” Help our business owners, especially those op-erating one-of-a-kind shops and services that provide our Coastal character. Help sustain a vibrant community, keep money circulating on the Coast, and support your friends and neighbours. �is is how we create collective prosperity, in partnership with those who truly care about our com-munity.

Take THAT, Costco.Heather Jeal, Contributing Writer

Oops!Re: �e Local, July 18 –

‘Rosenberg’s new novel’Please! I see this mistake

from time to time and it drives me up the wall – es-pecially when I see it in a newspaper, as many people believe anything they see in print must be correct.

A novel is a work of �c-tion – i.e. it is a made up story involving imaginary characters and situations. �is word does not describe the sort of book Dr. Rosen-berg has written. I hope I’m not the only person you hear from about this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stacey Rosen-berg herself corrects you, as nowhere in the article on page 19 is her book referred to as a ‘novel’, only in your front-page teaser.Anne Miles, Sunshine Coast

Oops, again Re: Sechelt approves

$73,000 Grants in Aid, June 13, page 15

I am writing to you on behalf of the Sunshine Coast Senior Swim Team re: the above-noted article which states “A grant of $1,000 was approved for the Sunshine Coast Senior Swim Team to assist in team travel and for material to promote the team and Sunshine Coast at swim competitions o�-Coast”.

Indeed we received a grant but it was not for team travel. Every member of our team is solely responsible for

any expenses incurred dur-ing travel to and from swim meets. �e last thing I want is for the Sechelt taxpayers to think that they are paying for that expense.

Sechelt Council were ex-plicit in explaining to us that any grant money that we received was to be used for a speci�c project. We do have a speci�c project and that was explained to the Coun-cil and formed the reason for the issuance of a grant.

We are in the �nal throes of designing a banner. �is banner, in addition to dis-playing the name “Sun-shine Coast Senior Swim Team”, will proudly dis-play the names of the three areas which we represent on the Coast viz. Sechelt, Gibsons and the SCRD. �is banner will be hung at each swim meet that we attend and will also be displayed in the Sechelt Aquatic Centre when we are on the Coast. We also plan to have t-shirts and swim caps made with simi-lar advertising.

�e primary purpose of the Sunshine Coast Senior Swim Team is to promote health, wellness, activity and �tness among the seniors on the Sunshine Coast, through the sport of swim-ming. �e second purpose is to pro-actively promote each of our communities as vibrant, nurturing, caring and welcoming. �is is at-tractive to businesses look-ing to relocate on the Coast

and also tourists.I would be most grateful

if you would correct the er-ror outlined above.Bruce McDonald,Sunshine Coast

Editor’s Note: �e in-formation about the pur-pose for the Grant in Aid was provided to �e Local in a press release from the District of Sechelt. We are pleased to set the record straight here.

Toastmasters need a homeDear Residents of Sechelt,

Can you help an institu-tion that has served Sech-elt for 30 years? Sunshine Toastmasters needs your help! For many years, the Sechelt Library’s Com-munity Use room was our professional-looking, acoustically perfect meet-ing room. Unfortunately, community groups are no longer allowed to use that room so we had to move. It has been a challenge to �nd a suitable replacement. We are looking for a space that is its equal or better so that we can continue to help adults (and teens through our Youth Leadership Pro-gram) serve the community

with con�dent voices and leadership skills!

We need a room that will seat at least 40, theatre style. We also need a small storage space for a full sized lectern and a three-drawer �ling cabinet (which is our resource library for mem-bers). Kitchen facilities would also be ideal as we like to have occasional pot-luck parties after meetings. We also need water for making weekly toasts. We are a non-pro�t so we don’t have wads of money to spend but we can de�nitely meet a reasonable rent.

Last but not least, we need this space to be in the Sechelt area for Monday nights beginning September 9. Please contact me, Paula Howley at 604-883-3618 or visit our website at 5403.toastmastersclubs.org

We know that a great new home awaits Sunshine Toastmasters and that the amazing community of Sechelt will be the ones to help us �nd it! �ank you so much neighbours!Paula HowleyImmediate Past PresidentSergeant at ArmsSunshine Toastmasters

Isn’t this an especially great time to live in Sechelt? We are so fortunate to be able to call this home. We’re also fortunate to welcome so many visitors at this time of the year. I have had the pleasure of talking to several over the past few weeks and without exception, they all agree that Sechelt is a spec-tacular place!

It’s also a busy place. In the coming weeks, plan on enjoying some of the many activities that we have: the Festival of the Written Arts, the Coasters Car Club Rod Run and Show ’n’ Shine, the Drag Races at the Air-port, Hackett Park Craft Fair, the weekly Farmers

Mayor’s Message

John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt

A busy summertime in the Districtand Artisans Market and the � ursday Night Mar-ket, to name a few.

My congratulations to the BC Bike Race for, yet again, a terri� c event ear-lier this month. And con-gratulations to our home-town hero, Kris Sneddon, for winning the leg com-ing into Sechelt, and then winning the overall race! � is sort of event brings visitors from around the world and is a great way to showcase Sechelt.

Our Wastewater Treat-ment Facility project is pro-gressing well (I understand we should see concrete be-ing poured very soon). Over the past two weeks, District sta� and professional advi-sors held public meetings where they provided infor-mation and answered ques-tions regarding the techni-cal aspects of the project. If you didn’t have a chance to

attend these, check out the information on our website.

Amidst all the good things going on, the past month has also been a chal-lenging time for the Dis-trict. It’s rarely pleasant to be going through contract ne-gotiations. I want to thank both the District’s and the Union’s bargaining com-mittees for working hard to reach a tentative agree-ment on July 11 that was subsequently rati� ed by the

union membership and by Council last week.

I also acknowledge our management team who demonstrated tremendous resourcefulness and energy in maintaining the Dis-trict’s services to the public over the past month. Most importantly, I’m pleased to welcome back all of the Dis-trict’s unionized sta� – with this matter behind us, we can focus on making sum-mer in Sechelt even better.

Global phenomenon PechaKucha Night returns to lower Gibsons on Friday, August 2 at Gibsons Public Art Gallery, kicking o� a month of events coincid-ing with GPAG’s upcoming exhibit, Action. Gibsons is one of the smallest of over 650 cities around the world producing PechaKucha Nights. As organizer Wendy Crumpler says, “We’re small but we’re talented.”

At a PechaKucha Night (PKN) members of the community are the stars of the show. Presenters dis-play 20 slides for exactly 20 seconds each. Within this restrictive format, the breadth of topics is breath-taking. You might laugh, cry, ponder or be amazed, but you will most certainly be entertained. August’s presenters include: Jack

Stein, Bill Baker, Sheila Cameron, Sarama, Lou Guest, Anna Banana, Ter-yl Mullock, Susan Rule, Kevin Broome, and four audience volunteers for the improvised PKN Mix. PechaKucha Night is co-sponsored by � e Arts Building which hosted six sold out PKNs in the past two years.

Live music, a cash bar and refreshments round out the evening. Spend a hot sum-mer night with cool friends on Friday, August 2 at the Gallery, 431 Marine Drive, Gibsons. Doors open at 7 pm with music at 7:15, presentations at 8. Only 100 tickets will be available at the door: $15 adults, $5 children under 12. Please arrive early—these events always sell out.Submitted

Paws at the Garden for Dog Day of Summer

Almost weekly through-out the summer months, the members of the Drift-wood Story � eatre troupe – volunteer actors, musi-cians and stage crew – load up the Blackberry Shop’s van and head out to per-form originally-scripted twists on familiar fables.

Each half-hour perfor-mance includes a number of short sketches designed to hold the interest of ev-eryone from toddlers to seniors. With minimal costumes, sets or back-drops, Story � eatre per-forms up to � ve skits in 30 minutes. It would be grueling if it weren’t so much fun.

Feds invent the factsRe: “Cory Monteith

loved by many”, July 18, 2013

Cory Monteith died of a combination of alcohol and a heroin overdose. Known to many people for his role in Glee, he will now play a vital role in a real life drama by helping illustrate that ‘evidenced based’ drug policies and the ‘legalize-then-pre-scribe’ approach to drug use/abuse issues can and should be implemented to help save lives. Sadly our federal politicians have

refused to place the issue of drug use and drug ad-diction within a health and wellness perspective and have chosen instead to ignore science based and harm reduction ap-proaches by continuing to embrace failed drug prohi-bition.

� e Omnibus Bill, with its tough-on-crime agenda, passed this year introduc-ing mandatory minimum sentencing and employed ideology over ideas, co-ercion over compassion and punishment over re-habilitation. � e federal government continues to invent the facts to justify

failed drug policies rather than creating drug policies based on the facts.

� e fact is, by keeping some drugs illegal, law-makers are ensuring that drug dealers decide the level of purity and the size of the dose. Drug addicts will continue to su� er the consequences of this failed approach. � e tragedy is our current federal govern-ment seems to think drug addicts are expendable, using them like pawns to further a failed drug pro-gram.Judith and Paul Renaud,Educators for Sensible Drug Policy, Gibsons

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue crews on the Sunshine Coast will be coming alongside local boaters this summer, but there will be no emergency. Instead, boat operators will be o� ered a free safety check under a new program sup-ported by Transport Canada.

“We’re doing something new this boating season. While we’ve always pro-moted boating safety with shore-based programs, this year our search and rescue crews will o� er safety checks for pleasure craft that are away from the dock and out on the water, “ said Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCM-SAR) president Jim Lee. “Our search and rescue crews will have even more opportunity to connect with the boating

public, help boaters ensure they have all the safety gear they need, and promote what we call search and res-cue prevention.”

� e Vessel Safety Survey Program is strictly volun-tary and will be provided as a courtesy to boaters who request it. Crews will ap-proach vessels and o� er to check items such as person-al � otation devices, signal-ling devices, � re extinguish-

ers, bailers, radar re� ectors, navigation charts, and oth-er items. RCM-SAR crews are search and rescue spe-cialists and do not provide enforcement.

� e RCM-SAR 2013 Vessel Safety Survey pro-gram will receive $150,000 through Transport Canada’s Boating Safety Contribu-tion Program, which pro-motes safe boating practices by pleasure craft operators and aims to reduce deaths and injuries from boating accidents. � ere were more than 560 boating-related deaths in British Columbia between 1991 and 2008.

During the past year, RCM-SAR crews were called out on more than 690 missions to assist peo-ple on the water in British Columbia. � e lower Sun-shine Coast is home to three stations: Gibsons (#14), Pender Harbour (#61), and Halfmoon Bay / Sechelt In-let (#12). Station 12 alone responded to over 20 calls over the past year.

� e Sunshine Coast RCM-SAR stations are three of over forty in British Columbia. � ese volunteer RCM-SAR crews provide 24/7 marine search and rescue coverage with dedi-cated fast-response rescue vessels that are designed and equipped for the task.

Astronomical events in August�e Sunshine Coast As-

tronomy Club is involved in a number events August 15 - 17. On �ursday, August 15, solar telescopes will be set up at the Sechelt Night Market for observing the Sun in the early evening. �e next night, Friday, members welcome anyone with an in-terest in astronomy to join them for co�ee and chat at the club’s Astro-café at Pier 17 in Davis Bay starting at 8:30pm. Weather permit-ting, telescopes will be set up by the sea-wall at Davis Bay just after sunset to do some observing. On Saturday, August 17 the club will be at Porpoise Bay for Astron-omy-in-the-Park, with solar observing in the afternoon followed by a presentation around 9pm focused on the Moon, in the park’s am-phitheatre. Scopes will also be set up for observing the night sky, including the wax-ing and close-to-full Moon.

August 3 has the waning crescent Moon located about 5 degrees southwest of Jupiter in the predawn sky. �e next day the Moon will be ap-proximately 5 degrees below Mars and 8 degrees above Mercury in the morning

twilight. �e moon will be new at 2:51pm (all times are PDST) on August 6 and thus starting a fresh cycle of phases, as signalled by its absence. On August 9 the waxing crescent Moon will be about 5 degrees below Venus, low in the eve-ning twilight just above the western horizon.

Monday, August 12 will feature perhaps the best night sky show of the month, with the Perseid meteor shower set to peak. �ough the maximum number of me-teors is predicted to happen at 11am, the predawn hours on Monday or later that eve-ning should feature a good number of ‘falling stars’. As was mentioned in the July column, the regular meteor showers seen throughout the year are respectively named for the constellation from where they appear to radiate. So a Perseid meteor can ap-pear anywhere in the night sky but if you trace its path back it will appear to have come from Perseus, in the north-northeast, just below the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia. So �nd a quiet patch of open-sky away from arti�cial lighting, take a com-fortable summer chair and enjoy the display. Moonlight won’t be interfering with the darkness of the sky since

the Moon will still be in its early waxing crescent phase, and setting just after 10pm, placed about 4 degrees be-low Saturn low in the west-southwest. �e Moon reaches the halfway point in its phase cycle, becoming full at 6:45pm on August 20. Neptune, the furthest planet from the Sun, reaches opposition at about 7pm on August 26. �is means that as the Sun sets over the west-ern horizon Neptune will be rising in the east-southeast. So if the Sun sets before our eyes, Neptune will rise from the opposite side, behind us. Neptune is faint, somewhat dimmer than the faintest stars visible to normal hu-man vision, but for any plan-et observers out there it will be highest above the south-ern horizon at about 1:15am on August 27 not quite 30 degrees above due south. It seems only �tting that the planet named after the Ro-man god of the sea should be nestled in the constellation named Aquarius, the Latin term for “water bearer”.

Anyone interested in lo-cal astronomy activities is invited to please visit the Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club website at www.Coast-Astronomy.ca . Submitted by Scott Harlow

How powerful is your paddle?

Spirit of Aloha Racing (SOAR), in partnership with Sea Cavalcade, will host the Shoal Channel Sea Sprint, an exciting new paddle race for adults and kids on July 28, right after the Keats Island Swim. �e race is open to sea kayaks, canoes, OC-1, OC-

With temperatures soar-ing and water restrictions an annual reality, home gardeners can plan their gardens to reduce the need for irrigation and time-con-suming maintenance.

Building soil that retains moisture and choosing plants that can survive in current conditions are key to reduc-ing water consumption.

Soil is where the magic happens. �e more clay that’s present in the soil, the more water-holding capac-ity and nutrient-holding capacity it will have. Much of the Coast already has a strong clay component to the soil, and this compacts into a hard mass unless it is well-tilled. Tilling improves the soil, allowing plants’ roots to reach out into the air pockets – essentially, the ‘pores’ of the soil’s skin – and absorb the moisture being held in the clay component.

Mulching slows evapo-ration of water from the surface, holding it down near the plant roots. A thick layer of mulch (three

to four inches) also reduces weed growth. Wood chips, gravel, straw, or tumbled glass ‘sand’ are all excellent mulching options.

Plants need moisture and nutrients, and most of these can come from applying a layer of compost under the mulch. Avoid the tempta-tion to over-fertilize during the growing season; fertil-izer is not plant medicine, it is an enhancement to the growing medium. Plants should be getting their food from the soil, not from sup-plements (just as a person should get their nutrients from food on the table, not pills in a jar).

Plants don’t need nearly as much as we think they do, and they will tell you when they are hungry or thirsty - they will wilt. It’s called the temporary wilt-ing point, and it’s a nor-mal reaction. Add liberal amounts of water, and that plant will perk right back up the next day. Of course, if you allow a plant to go too far in the wilting pro-

cess, it moves beyond the temporary to the perma-nent wilting point. �at means, it’s dead. �ere-fore, understand the plant’s needs by watching and wa-tering only when needed.

Native plants are less likely to wilt in current con-ditions than imported ex-otics. Typically, both types are grown in nurseries, but natives speci�c to the Coast region are more used to lo-cal weather and soil. �ese plants stand a better chance under drought conditions.

Larger plants, because they create shade, can help to nurse other smaller plants. Choose small to medium deciduous trees to create at-tractive pockets of shade and cool the garden area.

As water becomes more precious (with metering now being considered for the whole Coast, all gardeners are becoming more aware of conservation) planning the garden to become less reliant on over-irrigation is key to conserving water – and our own energy.

With recent innovative developments in its formu-lation, concrete has moved into the forefront of interior design. Eco-friendly con-crete’s � uid character lends itself to avant-garde and tra-ditional designs that move beyond the foundation and compliment every room and every home.

Low cost and easy mainte-nance polished and stamped concrete � oors add a rich di-mension to modern homes. A dark textured � nish pro-vides context for an area rug or tapestry carpet.

Concrete professionals note that “polished” does not mean “shiny”. Once the concrete is tinted to cus-tomer speci� cation, surfaces may be bu� ed to a matte glow, textured, or polished to a high gloss according to individual taste or the de-mands of the project. A coat of high-performance sealant ensures the end product is hypo allergenic, stain resis-tant and easy to clean.

look of a � agstone patio, walk or driveway at a frac-tion of the cost and give quick, cost-e� cient curb appeal to any landscape.

In the kitchen, poured concrete counters and sinks move from utilitarian to artistic components of the home’s most important room. Curved and seamless polished countertops are du-rable and hygienic. � e sink can be poured as a seamless component of the counter, allowing for an interesting � ow to the work surface. Like any stone-component countertop material, sealed concrete can be damaged by excess heat (leading to mi-cro-cracks in the sealant ) or sharp objects. Use trivets and cutting boards to keep the

surface integrity (and avoid damaging knives).

� e mass of a concrete countertop, formed sink, tub or shower area brings warmth and permanence to a bathroom. Again, tint, texture and polish ensure the surface provides a glow and strong, clean line in an inti-mate setting.

Concrete � ows into a design, where it becomes a solid and substantial mass. A house’s normal settling process may result in hair-line cracks forming in the surface. � e resulting pa-tina is part of the product’s character, providing texture as it ages.

Modern concrete, cus-tom-poured for each inte-rior design element, delivers

a unique and timeless signa-ture — turning a house into a home.

Chiropractic treatment is skilled, hands-on health care that relieves pain and helps your body be its best. However, ever since the practice of Chiropractic care was founded in 1895, its ef-fectiveness has been mired in controversy.

Part of the controversy is rooted in its origins. �e Iowa ‘magnetic healer’ D.D. Palmer credited with initiating the therapy, be-lieved that the spine and overall health are funda-mentally linked through the nervous system, and that joints that may be ‘out of alignment’ could exert pressure on nerves or muscles. �e resulting pain could weaken the body’s overall ability to heal itself, he felt, and lead to other health problems. Coming as it did in an era of ‘snake oil’ and ‘miracle cures’, chiropractic’s health

Adjustment of the joints of the body has been used in the healing arts for many centuries and is at the heart of modern chiropractic care.

bene�ts were viewed with skepticism by the scien-ti�c community. However, as chiropractic care pro-gressed, practitioners de-veloped a more scienti�c and sophisticated study of the biomechanics, struc-ture and function of the spine, along with its e�ects on the body’s and nervous systems. Chiropractic ther-apy is now considered to be a bene�cial component of a balanced personal ho-listic wellness program.

Chiropractors recom-mend a course of patient-

speci�c treatment that may include mobilization of the joints, ultrasound, muscle release techniques, muscle stimulation and therapeu-tic exercises. Chiropractors are also trained to provide nutritional counselling, and recommend rehabilita-tion and injury prevention strategies.

�e word ‘chiropractic’ comes from ancient Greek and means ‘done by hand.’ Adjustment of the joints of the body has been used in the healing arts for many centuries and is at the heart

of modern chiropractic care. By manually adjust-ing of the vertebrae of the spine and other joints of the body chiropractors help relieve pain and restore normal functioning to the joints and supporting mus-cles and ligaments.

�e nervous system is the body’s information high-way; its main conduit, the spinal cord, is protected by the bones of the spinal col-umn. �e nervous system radiates from the spinal col-umn to carry messages from the brain to every corner of your body. Stress and strain on the vertebrae can put pressure on the nerves in the a�ected area. �at is why a problem with the spine can have far-reaching e�ects causing symptoms such as arm or leg pain.

Work, accidents, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, arthritis, house-hold chores, even the stress of daily living can cause re-stricted movement, as well as painful joint and back problems. Even for those without painful symptoms, chiropractic care can help maintain healthy spine and joint function.

Consider integrating a chiropractic treatment with massage therapy and an exercise program for overall improvement to body health: better pos-ture, improved �exibility, and relief from joint and muscle aches.

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for….” ge-lato, sorbet or even old-fashioned ice cream.

On the Coast, we love our healthy and locally-made frozen treats.

In Roberts Creek, Batchworks dishes up cones, cups and pints of handmade gourmet sor-bet and non-dairy nut-based ice cream from the little hut in the Gumboot Restaurant parking lot on weekends. Traci Stremlaw started the business three summers ago, just about the time she delivered her youngest child. “I saw a need for organic treats you felt good about giving to kids,” she said. Lighter than milk-based frozen desserts, dairy-free sorbet is made from fruit purees. Sorbets are a denser, more richly � avoured product with the added health bene� t of being lactose free and lower in fat than ice cream. Batchworks ‘ice cream’ is also lactose free, either coconut-based or made from their own nut milk. Warning: commer-cial sherbet/sorbets avail-able in supermarkets may contain milk products; read the labels carefully.

When Mike’s Place in Gibson’s Landing � rst began making gelato in-house, they quickly be-came a hot-weather desti-nation for families hungry for the wide variety of lighter, fresh-fruit based Italian-style ice cream. With its growing popular-ity, Mike’s Gelato began

distributing through a number of shops and gro-cery stores on the Coast. Gelato, a soft Italian-style ice cream containing little or no air, is made from milk, cream, sugar (which keeps it from freezing sol-id), fruit purees and other � avourings. Dairy-based gelato may contain 16 to 24 percent sugar, com-pared to traditional ice cream’s 12 to 16 percent. In Italy, gelato must have at least 3.5 percent butter-

fat; there is no upper limit. Commercially-made ice

cream whips a great deal of air into a custard made with milk, cream, eggs,

and � avourings. Many small grocery stores on the Coast sell ice cream cones – with or without sprin-kles, sometimes with a bit of maraschino cherry on top. When calories are not a worry, go for the sprin-kles at the Village Store in Gibsons Landing, or the cherry at Roberts Creek General Store.

� at ice cream cone – or gelato, or sorbet – is a modern step that began in ancient Rome, or perhaps Egypt or Sicily. Each of these cultures developed iced desserts from snow brought down from moun-taintops and preserved below ground and the sensation spread quickly. A favourite of the Medici court in medieval Flor-ence, the frozen dessert’s popularity spread to the ‘common people’ after a Si-cilian � sherman (Franceso Procopio dei Coltelli) de-veloped the � rst ice cream machine in 1686. In the last century, ice cream par-lours, gelato wagons, home freezers and the musical ice cream trucks raised ice cream from an occasional special-occasion treat to a dessert staple.

But it’s still a treat to go out for ice cream. Or gela-to. Or sorbet. Make mine tangerine.

Tip of the Week:�e waves caused by the

ongoing line-up of planets continue to wash in. �ese are invariably producing synchronistic events and subsequent changes for people on many fronts. According to our cycles and circumstances a proac-tive response ever remains part of the game and an ever-present possibility. One of the keys to proac-tive response is to live with deepened self-awareness and the consequent vision that it a�ords. Astrology is invaluable in this regard, when approached with a deepened appreciation of the valuable resource that it is. Directed by outer, social in�uences, attitudes and norms people engage in the game of life con�-dent and justi�ed in their actions. Yet, when our choices and actions are based on this mode of rea-soning alone, we are less able to live more authenti-cally, in tune with a deeper sense of purpose and the subsequent harmony with others and life in gen-eral that it produces. �e global environmental crisis is an example of one of the deeper messages that are surfacing from the sum of colossal cosmic energies at play. �at a key feature of these encompasses a period reaching to 2026 when Neptune enters Aries o�ers us a fairly wide time frame within which to focus and set our intentions. Regard-ing the more current cycles, the Great Grand Trine in Water Signs that o�cially began on July 17 is linger-ing and is being reinforced by Mars. On July 27, Mars forms an exact Opposi-tion to Pluto on the same day that the Moon forms a Conjunction with Uranus and then will actually form a Square to Uranus on July 31, thereby reinforcing the lingering and potent Square aspect between Uranus and Pluto. �is is when Mars weaves the Water Grand Trine with the Uranus/Pluto Square. �e in�u-ence of this will speci�cally continue until April 2014. We are living in monumen-tal times – stay tuned!Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Many big and signi�-

cant activations are rocking your world. �ese are oc-curring both at the deeper levels of your being and in outer obvious ways as well.

Changes close to home and with your family are likely themes. Some measure of cleaning, clearing, renovat-ing and moving altogether provide a source of passion, excitement and drama.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

A busy round of activities continues to keep you busy. A key word in it all is com-mitment. Endurance, per-severance and stubborn ad-herence to your priorities, goals and plans are other ways of describing this. Focusing to invest versus simply to spend is extra im-portant. E�orts to establish a more secure foundation will prove extra valuable later. So do it now.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

With so many places to go and people to see, you are in your element. Be-yond the rich array of ex-citement and hopeful fun, deeper considerations of establishing a more secure lifestyle rhythm is under-way. It is quite important that you take this seri-ously. �is implies extra e�ort, discipline and a willingness to learn. Aim to establish a foundation of whole health.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)An expansive cycle con-

tinues. You are likely feel-ing inspired to take a few risks or to advance your position somehow. �is impulse will linger well into 2014. �is is no time to be in a rush. Deeper spiritual activations and awakenings are �owing in steadily. If these are not obvious, take a moment to tune in to receive the blessings.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)�e Sun in your signs is

an indication that you are ready to take some pioneer-ing, creative leads. You are digging deeper these days than you have perhaps for a long time. You are de-termined to lay claim to bigger dreams and hidden powers. �is may be stir-ring some fears. Accessing deeper reserves of faith is important for success. You can do it!Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Expanding your scope

and network is an impor-tant theme these days. �e time is right to collaborate and cooperate with other key players. Who these are and what you need to do is the creative question you must answer. For now, working behind the scenes is important. Aim to estab-lish secure foundations on a variety of fronts.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Some big, exciting and

noticeable changes are shaking in your world.

�ese are linked to in-creased exposure, responsi-bility and opportunity. You must be willing to pay your dues and invest as neces-sary. In the short term, quality time shared with friends new and old will be the warm sun drying up any lingering puddles from yesteryear.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

�e time has come to advance your position. �is includes getting the attention you want, need, have earned and feel you deserve. Approaching au-thority �gures to facilitate this process would be ideal. �is is your window so do not wait. Even by simply activating a process you will be on track and in tune with your time.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

A process of completion and closure continues yet the main thrust of it has entered the next phase. �e good news is that these endings are also bringing rewards, perhaps unexpect-ed ones. Look upon the overall process as an im-portant graduation process. Imagine if things did not change and there was no such thing as graduation! Accept, trust and celebrate this �ow.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

�e time has come clear the old to make way for the new. Whether by choice or circumstances beyond your control, you are experienc-ing something of a chang-ing of the guard. �e good news is that this is increas-ing your overall exposure; hopefully you want this to happen. �at this is shak-ing things up deep within you and close to home is part of the deal.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)An activation of new as-

sociations, friendships and deeper relationships too is underway. �is may be causing your con�dence to waver. Aim to establish new foundations and fortify old ones. From this platform your con�dence to expand your outreach will increase. Awakening to new modes of perception, to recognize alternative approaches, is a golden key.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)You have embarked upon

a special and important creative curve. It is leading you to consider new values, priorities and possibilities. �ere is some measure of diversity implied so avoid single-minded approaches or singular projects. �e other challenge however will be to advance each of these in equal measure. Be willing to do the rounds to advance on all fronts!

Obit Solli 1130

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the loss of a beloved father and grandfather, Knut Erling Solli. He passed away peacefully at St. Mary’s Hospital on July

16, at the age of 73. Knut was born in Norway on June 23, 1940. He fathered three children with his first wife Lauralee. Then he welcomed Erlinda his second wife and her youngest son Rodel to his life.

Knut served in the Norwegian Army and later became a cabinetmaker. His favorite profession was fishing. He always enjoyed being out on the sea.

Knut is predeceased by Lauralee, Erlinda and his son Karl Earl Solli. He is survived by daughters Karen McGee and Ann-Marie Solli. He has three grandchildren Delany, Emily and Lucas.

A celebration of life will be held at Calvary Chapel Sunshine Coast in Davis Bay on July 26th, 2013 at 1pm. Following the service there will be a reception and fellowship at Davis Bay Hall.

Thank you to all the medical professionals that cared for our dad in his last days.

In loving memory of

KNUT ERLING SOLLIJune 23, 1940 - July16, 2013 N
