Playing at the B.C. Summer Games was an eye-opening and thrilling experience for

Zone 5 Lacrosse players including Sunshine Coast team members who brought their A game to the provincial matches in Nanaimo. It was also a treat for the other zone teams to see the skillful and dedicated play from the (Sun-shine Coast-Northshore-Vancouver) Zone 5 team members, their coach Rob Pearsall ob-served.

“It’s their sportsmanship, it’s their spirit within the game,” he said of the 15 and 16-year-old boys lacrosse team.

The Zone 5 team had key challenges to overcome, having a short bench and a smaller pool of zone players in general, (they had just

15 players and two goalies, and one of their goalies was injured in the first game,) but what they lacked in numbers they made up for in determination and skill.

“I can tell you right now the Sunshine Coast players were an amazing, and really integral part of the fabric of our team,” Pearsall emphasized, “great kids, really easy to coach and obviously well coached over there,” (on the Coast, by Bethia Macey and Patrick Query.)

The Summer games were super for showing off local talent that athletes have been working hard to hone, the Zone 5 coach, Pearsall notes, adding Coast athlete Gabriel Chamberlain drew a lot of interest from other star players for his ability to take face-offs.

“One of the best face-off kids in the province, asked me, ‘who is that kid in the blue helmet?’ and I said that’s Gabriel Chamberlain,” the coach said. The opposing star player admitted he’d won just two face-offs the whole game.

The team kept pace with even eventual championship teams until the final periods, when their team’s size began to take a toll. “But they made these other teams work for (the wins),” Pearsall said.

Sunshine Coast forward, Jacob Huson had them on high alert, the coach observed, “(Huson) reads the floor really well and it’s hard to stop him when he goes for the net.”

Huson confirmed their lines had to hustle, but said he got a lot from the experience at the high intensity Summer Games.

“It was definitely a unique experience to go over there and play all these really good players,” said Huson, who’s been playing for six years already, “we had to take short shifts and give it your all, and move the ball really quickly ... you don’t want anyone to get injured or give up a chance to score.”

Their coach praised Justin Macey for being an awesome part of their

zone team, noting the Coast athlete is a very solid player. Pearsall added the entire team played with unmatched sportsmanship that got noticed at the Games.

The chance to play with high tier players from Vancouver and the North Shore was vital for forward Gabriel Chamberlain.

“Getting to spend time with people I’d never played with before was really great ... playing guys who’ve played for five and six years, so you really have to step your game up and play a lot harder to achieve your goals,” Chamberlain observed.

The face-off whiz said he appreciated having a good

coach to motivate them, and help from the assistant coaches of the team, Chase Pearsall and Josh Kelly.

“They tell you straight out what you need to do, and give you great pointers,” Chamberlain said.

The youths’ Sunshine Coast league lacrosse coach, Bethia Macey was pleased at their Summer Games performance.

“It was quite gratifying to have them do so well,” Macey expressed, “and it’s not any one person who made this happen; it was the (Coast lacrosse) community who helped build these young athletes.”Apryl Veld

May sees Sechelt plant on Green Party nomination nightFederal Green Party

leader, Elizabeth May took a guided perim-eter tour of the Sechelt Water Resource Centre and wastewater treat-ment plant in Sechelt last Wednesday.

“This is fantastic,” the green politician declared during a tour led by Project Coordinator, Paul R. Nash, of the facility. The tour’s co-host, Mayor John Henderson explained how the District had reached capacity with the old plant and knew they wanted a greener alternative for future infrastructure.

“The big thing was deciding to do it,” Henderson noted, citing a lot of pressures including popu l a t i on g rowth

required a bigger capacity plant.

He noted getting funding from various levels of government and seeking consent from public to build in a residential area, “This should not devalue properties,” Henderson said, “because we set vigorous odour and noise standards for the plant.”

May appeared impressed by the $25 million project which features a number of conservation features including power efficiency, water re-use and bio-solids recovery, possibly for agriculture. “I can’t wait to come back and see it when it’s done,” said May, adding, “you need to come to Victoria, (a city of 80,000 which

still pumps raw, screened sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.)

The plant’s coordinator, Nash described the engineering of facilities under construct ion, including greenhouse treatments. He noted the adjoining 1978 Ebbtide building will be repurposed for a pump station.

May was in Sechelt to attend a nomination meeting for the hotly contested West Vancouver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country federal riding. Ken Melamed, a former mayor of Whistler was pronounced the winner of the riding’s nomination heat on Saturday.Apryl Veld

West Van’s LNG response precociousIn response to the West Vancouver Council vote to ban

the passage of LNG tankers in Howe Sound, and as the Member of Parliament for West Vancouver and the rest of our magnificent riding, I disagree with the motion, the way it has been passed, and its timing. I admire the Mayor and Council of West Vancouver and work with them regularly. I applaud their energy and genuine commitment to the inter-ests of our community. In fact, I have never previously writ-ten publicly to challenge one of their decisions or actions.

Elected officials have a duty to wait until they know what the concerns are, how significant they may be, and what can be done to mitigate them. At this time, we have not heard of the Council investigating the mat-ter thoroughly or interviewing the proponent, Wood-fibre LNG in Squamish. But, on the other side, the pro-ponent is doing much to engage the public in Squamish and elsewhere, preparing for just such an application. Firstly, our Community needs to know that the proj-ect would be in Squamish and has not yet entered its environmental assessment phase. In fact, the pro-ponent has not even formally filed an application. Secondly, it’s one thing to say, “No, not in my backyard.” However, it’s something else to say, “No, not in someone else’s backyard.” LNG promises to bring jobs and economic growth across our whole province. The Premier and Gov-ernment of B.C. have committed to LNG as a primary eco-nomic driver. If we are to pay for our teachers, our medical services, or welfare and the other good things we love in Brit-ish Columbia, we do need some level of economic growth. As a British Columbian, I am also concerned about the en-vironmental impact of new industrial developments in our jewel, the Howe Sound. However before I categorize this project as unsound for environmental or safety reasons, I as a politician, or for that matter, a tax payer in this country need to understand the facts and have the input of experts. Therefore we should not prejudge this project but remain engaged in the process. This and other industrial projects should be evaluated one by one, based on facts and science, not presumptions. They should also be part of an overall plan for Howe Sound, a concept which I have championed, and will continue to champion.

I look forward to the next steps in promoting growth in our riding in a proper, long-term, and sustainable way.And, once again to Mayor Smith and Council, thank you for your dedication to our community. I just disagree with you in this particular case. John Weston, MPWest Vancouver – Sunshine Coast – Sea to Sky Country

Written arts fest is a thing of beauty

Every year in late spring/early summer, my family looks forward to receiving the upcoming program for the festival of the written arts. We look to see if an author we just read or an author recently in the news will be at the festival this year.

Last year was no different as we read that Jeffrey Simp-son would be here. Alas, with not enough forward planning and childcare, we missed the sold out Simp-son, but we would not miss the festival!

So we chose Sunday as it worked for our schedule and picked two authors. The two we chose were the passionate Canada-phile Rikia Saddy and the very funny Linwood Barclay. Both authors did not disap-point. Saddy, the marketer turned Canadian history Diva, and Barclay, the po-litical columnist turned crime writer (an intriguing vocational mix) were engag-ing and informative. Both were politically opinionated and made you think more

about this great country that is Canada. So this year, when many of us consider going to the Festival of the Written Arts, remember, that even if some shows are sold out, that the festival is a CAN’T MISS event, in a comfortable, temperate, and beautiful venue. Not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon!Darren Inkster,

Spin-doctorsDear EditorHello, are you too wor-

ried about things to hear anything? Maybe if I were singing at you I could sing, “There’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on!” and point toward the ‘movers & shakers’… If I divert you with dance, I would train you to spot the ‘two-step’. If I were trying to engage you by juggling, I might direct your attention from my spinning plates to the real ‘Spin Doctors’. To-day though, I am a writer so I will write to tell you that I suspect a focused team is bent on the conglomeration of Gibsons Harbour.

There are so many ways this is wrong for Gibsons Landing.

One way is the wrong interactions between this team and Town Hall. For example, why has so much of my tax dollar been spent on ‘communications con-sultants’ for The George proposal? I do not want to pay for the team’s PR.Steve Dieter,Gibsons Landing

Goldmoss Gallery apply-ing for spot re-zoning in Roberts Creek.

What Goldmoss brings to the community is far greater

than the nuisance of a ex-tra cars parked in the bike lane a few times a year. I’m a neighbor and although I hear their amplified music during Robert’s Creek Arts Festival in spring, I wel-come this art business in my neighborhood because the entire community benefits.

This gallery and festival that they single-handedly created from scratch, bring middle class and affluent tourists to the coast. Often, artists create opportunities for other businesses - by be-ing the attraction. The res-taurants get more business, the B&Bs more bookings, the grocery stores and cof-fee shops, more customers. The artist is often the last person to benefit from the work they do, because someone has to buy the art that everyone has come to see. You can’t just have art-ists, you have to have a pay-ing audience. With their gallery, Lee and Bon Rob-erts have somehow created a climate for a new kind of art appreciator – one who actually supports artists by buying the art. Most impor-tantly, the modern gallery itself is a world-class place to celebrate being an artist in a community of artists.

Right now Goldmoss is being threatened by just a few neighbours who want to shut them down. The initial complaint to the SCRD was about the keeping of hens, and only when immediate removal of the hens didn’t happen was a second com-plaint made about the gal-lery. Fortunately, both hens and galleries are directly in line with the Roberts Creek Official Community Plan.

With or without the pres-ence or absence of amplified music - I welcome them --

The Positive Story

John Weston MP, West Vancouver, Sunshine Coast , Sea to Sky Country

I like to take every oppor-tunity I can to shrink the

distance between Ottawa, our Coastal community, and the rest of the riding. This summer, I am bringing sev-eral key national leaders to our riding, in cooperation with chambers of commerce, local stakeholders, and other engaged citizens.

Canada’s Minister of For-eign Affairs, the Honourable

Shrinking the Distance – Creating Direct Links to National LeadersJohn Baird, met with a ca-pacity crowd on July 8th in a public discussion of several aspects of our international policies, including tourism, human rights, and Canada’s success in negotiating free trade agreements. Since tak-ing office in 2006, the Con-servative Government has increased from 5 to 43 the number of countries with which Canada has a free trade agreement.

Acknowledging the key role of Howe Sound, I host-

ed the Transport Minister Lisa Raitt on July 23rd for a fast-paced meeting with mayors, councillors and Ab-original leaders from around the riding, including the Sunshine Coast and Pow-ell River. The Minister also discussed her vision of enact-ing world-class standards for tanker safety, reliable ways for shipping coal, and coor-dinating responses to aban-doned and derelict vessels.

Last Friday, I hosted MP Terence Young (Oakville)

to meet with the commu-nity leaders who have ral-lied together to help me on various related initiatives, including my Private Mem-ber’s Bill Tackling Crystal Meth and Ecstacy; National Prescription Drug Drop-Off Day; and other things. This provided our constituents the chance to meet a leader in the drug reform world and an opportunity for Mr. Young to receive valuable in-put from our riding

In May, it was my privi-

lege to host MP Michael Chong (Wellington – Hal-ton Hills) for a discussion on his new bill, The Reform Act, intended to increase the influence of MPs in Parlia-ment. Michael and I have worked together consistently to make Parliament more responsive to the aspirations and needs of Canadians.

I invite you to join me and the Whistler, Squamish and Pemberton Chambers of Commerce for a roundtable meeting with the Honour-

able Jason Kenney, Minister for Employment and Social Development. He and I have worked on several initiatives in the past, including work permits issued leading up to the 2010 Olympic and Para-lympic Games, and more broadly, immigration, hu-man rights, multiculturalism and other issues relevant to our riding.

More than a decade ago, a group of mu-

sic enthusiasts dreamed of a summer chamber music festival in their community, the pretty village of Madeira

Chamber music fest offers stellar concertsPark on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast. They had the venue – a restored government Forestry building housing the Pender Harbour School of Music, surrounded by tall

firs, its generous windows overlooking the lively har-bour. They had a prospec-tive artistic director: distin-guished pianist Alexander Tselyakov had performed in Madeira Park recently and thought it was a per-fect location for a musical weekend. And they believed that audiences would be drawn to beautiful music performed in an intimate waterfront setting. So in August of 2005, the Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival was born.

The festival organizers are thrilled to be celebrat-ing their tenth anniversary on the weekend of August 14 to17. A stellar group

of musicians will gather to perform five ticketed con-certs over four days, and the popular (and free) Cham-ber Music Doesn’t Bite will round out the weekend. Canadian composer Kel-ly-Marie Murphy’s piano quintet, In A World of Mo-tion and Distance, commis-sioned by the Festival for this special anniversary, re-ceives its world premiere at the opening concert (Sound Impressions), performed by the Lafayette String Quartet and Alexander Tselyakov. Joining the LSQ and Tse-lyakov for the weekend will be violinist Gary Levinson, cellist Suren Bagratuni, flautist Eugenia Zukerman,

saxophonist Julia Nolan, and pianist Baya Kakouberi. They’ll arrive a few days be-fore the Festival and their rehearsals will generate great anticipation in the Harbour as passages of music float through the open windows. We can almost guarantee sunshine and the gardens are timed for perfect cel-ebratory blooms!

What else can audiences expect? European Gran-deur, an evening of music from Central Europe, from CPE Bach to Brahms and Haydn. Our French after-noon, Après-Midi. Night Songs explores the romance of trios and meditations and nocturnes by Arthur Foote,

Fanny Hensel-Mendels-sohn, and Glazunov. And the Festival will conclude with Dynamic Sequences, including two compositions by Shostakovich.

The Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival has a very loyal following. People build their holidays around the third weekend in August, and there’s an ac-tive cohort of Friends of the Festival whose generosity makes the whole thing pos-sible (and they can always use more friends; noting they’re a welcoming group!)

If asked to reflect on their college years, many

graduates likely would not recall healthy eating habits. College students are often pressed for time and short on funds, so a nutritious diet is often sacrificed for the sake of convenience and cost.

But a healthy diet can

How college students can eat healthyhelp college students handle the stresses of college life more effectively. The fol-lowing are a handful of easy ways college students can improve their diets’ nutri-tional value without break-ing the bank.

• Eat breakfast. College students tend to stay up late and sleep in, but sleeping in at the expense of a healthy breakfast can impact perfor-mance in the classroom and make students more likely to overeat later in the day. A bowl of cereal with some fresh fruit is not an especial-ly expensive breakfast, but it can help college students start their day off on an en-ergetic and healthy note.

• Snack healthy. Many students find snacks are an integral part of hours-long study sessions. But trips to the vending machine for candy bars or potato chips won’t add much nutritional value to your diet. Instead of being at the mercy of vend-ing machines, bring healthy snacks along during study

sessions. Fresh fruit, raw vegetables, Greek yogurt, and wholewheat crackers are just a few snacks that pack a more nutritious punch than traditional vending machine fare. Healthy snacks also tend to provide more energy, mak-ing it easier to endure late-night study sessions.

• Make pizza healthier. Pizza is a staple of many col-lege students’ diets, so it’s likely unrealistic for them to quit pizza cold turkey, especially since there are ways to make pizza health-ier. When ordering a pizza, college students can request their pizza be prepared with whole wheat dough, which is healthier than traditional pizza dough. In addition, ask for less cheese and more tomato sauce. Such altera-tions are simple and healthy without sacrificing taste.

• Scale back on sugar. Sugar can cause weight gain without providing much in the way of nutrition. Col-lege students can cut back on their sugar intake by

avoiding sugary beverages, including soda and drinks like sweetened iced tea or lemonade. College is also when many young men and women first start drink-ing coffee, which some people prefer to take with sugar. But students looking to keep weight off and re-duce their sugar intake can choose to drink their cof-fee black or with just light cream or fat-free milk to ensure their morning cup of joe is not contributing to a bigger waistline.

• Drink more water. The symptoms of dehydration mimic those of hunger, and college students might turn to snacks when all they re-ally need is a glass of water. If you find yourself snacking shortly after eating a meal, then you might just need to drink more water.

Few college students pri-oritize healthy eating habits. But there are some inexpen-sive ways for on-the-go stu-dents to enjoy healthy diets.

There is a diverse range of book clubs on the coast but most are inspired by a common desire to engage in some real, interesting conversations beyond small talk, and social media one liners. Real discussions and people feeling heard, even if there is disagreement, is a great recipe for connection and improved mental and intellectual health.

The District of Sechelt (DOS) got to see demo

of a the Bagela portable asphalt recycler last Thurs-day, which can reuse old asphalt and repair roads as well, which can help to curb the waste of materials and energy.

“Reclaim Asphalt was here on Thursday August 7, doing a demonstration for us,” Sechelt’s District Super-intendent of Public Works confirmed.

Reclaim Asphalt’s rep says the technology is fully portable and capable of be-ing used anytime anywhere in any weather, and that re-using existing asphalt and can eliminate the cost of purchasing cold mix for temporary winter repair.

You could be finding yourself in a real live

fairytale soon. Well, at least you will be able to take in a fairytale with live actors, if that would suffice.

Story Theatre brings all-ages fairy tales to festivals, camps and events around the Sunshine Coast.

“We’re inspired by the open air to bring arts to the streets, sometimes predict-ably and sometimes surpris-ingly,” says Story Theatre director, Radhika Samwald.

She says they’ve been changing things up a bit this year and doing more camp performances, for Camp Byng and Camp Elphin-stone.

“It’s still outdoors so we can access the audience eas-ily and we’re not competing with a lot of other sounds,” she notes.

Story Theatre troupe has been rehearsing since April for the summer productions

Story Theatre’s tales delightfuland have completed half of their summer’s perfor-mances. The show consists of five short fairy tales: Jack and the Bean stock (modern twist); an old classic Three Wishes, Princess and the Pea, Lion and the Mouse, and Salmon Boy.

The story of Salmon Boy, a traditional First Nations tale, as interpreted by Don-na Joe, a Sechelt teacher and language facilitator, has made an impression on a lot of families since its release as a children’s book.

“Donna Joe’s story is re-ally important to me and it’s great to acknowledge her this year,” Samwald said, “so many people I talk to have been touched by her some-how, she inspired people, she was a favourite teacher ... she had a big impact on her community in her life-time.”

Through Joe’s tale you may also learn the Shshahl (Sechelt) words for local an-imals: for instance stalashen is orca, and wachass is frog.

Radhika said it’s inspir-ing to see their own actors

step up and do writing and directing as well. The the-atre group helps each other explore their creativity, Samwald explains. “People who have creative drive and want to explore direc-tion, props, writing music, sound effects fit in well and are encouraged,” she said.

Samwald summed up by saying Story Theatre’s mission is to make theatre inclusive and accessible to

tival is hanging from the trees to please music, circus, and arts fans August 22 to 24. There’s a lot of fun for all ages, says Arwen Mac-Donald, one of the organiz-ers.

“We program it so there’s always something going on, and there’s never any dead air,” notes the self-described festival lover.

Friday at 5pm sparks the first Rainforest Circus experience in the wooded perimeter of Shirley Macey Park on Chamberlin Road. Then you can be mesmer-ized by this unique circus Saturday and Sunday at scheduled times through-

Gibsons hosts outdoor music and circus festout the days.

“The circus is always original and interesting,” MacDonald says, “and it’s really (festival producers, and Deer Crossing the Art Farm-founders) Chad and Sandy’s passion.”

Music won’t take a back stage, so you can get your feet lifted by some great bands from the Coast, Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Belt out your faves with Captain Numbnuts - the Human Jukebox in su-per sing-along events Friday at 6 and Saturday at 5pm.

There will be food and re-freshment vendors and even a libation station to keep you fed and watered.

If you gotta get your

hands in there, everyone can enjoy live mural painting at the art stations. If you gotta build something, take in bat or owl house building work-shops, soap felting, or have a blast learning about car al-ternatives, the small homes movement, mushrooming, beekeeping and even yoga Sunday morning.

The festival began a few years ago out of people just wanting to do something interesting with friends, MacDonald said, and be-cause was fun it evolved.

“The name reflects that we strive for fun, generos-ity, and we want people to feel good and have fun do-ing things collectively.” And she notes their volunteers are awesome, and that you can be one, too, and get a lot out of the experience. They thank their volunteers, sponsors, community and grant funders for making it all happen in a fabulous lo-cation.

“Shirley Macey Park has amenities, it’s gorgeous and surrounded by forest in a cradle of mountains,” Mac-Donald added.

Kids under 7 free, charge for adults and youth this year is $10 per day or $25 for a weekend pass, with student/senior and fam-ily rates. Note: no ATM on site. Apryl Veld

Power of Paint, Eleven Equal Artists are showing at Seaside Centre 5790 Teredo Street in Sechelt on August 15,16 and 17.

The display of painted

creations will include works by artists Morley Baker, Josefa Fritz Barham, Todd Clark, Elizabeth Evans, Greta Grunow Guzek, Carol LaFave, Kim LaFave, Ian MacLeod, Cinty Riach, Nadina Tandy, and Marleen Vermeulen.

“The exhibition is an ex-citing celebration of the vi-

sual arts, inspiring residents and visitors alike,” Siobhan Smith, Arts Coordinator for the District of Sechelt said, “the local talent showcased in the exhibition has proven that paint really is powerful enough to attract positive

public attention and make connections with artist across the Coast.”

Star gaze with astronomersThe Sunshine Coast

Astronomy Club will hold its annual star party in Porpoise Bay Provincial Park, Saturday August 16 from 1pm until 11:30pm. Check out the sunspots and flares through our so-lar scopes or stay around to view planets and deep sky objects as darkness falls. There will be a kid’s activity table during the afternoon and the Driftwood Players Story Theatre group will be performing at 3pm. At dusk (around 9pm) there will be a family oriented astronomy presentation in the amphitheatre.

The Perseid meteor shower every August is one of the brighter meteor showers. Consisting of tiny space debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseids are named after the con-stellation, Perseus. During August Mars and Saturn will be visible in early eve-ning, the bright star Spica will be visible then too. For early risers, make a note to look for a close conjunction of Jupiter and Venus in the eastern sky at dawn.

Effective immediately, and until further no-

tice, the Sunshine Coast Re-gional District (SCRD) has declared Stage 2 outdoor water use restrictions for all municipal water custom-ers. All those on the Pender Harbour systems remain at Stage 1 until further notice.

Outdoor water use re-strictions are part of the region’s water conservation goal to reduce water con-sumption per person by 33 per cent by 2020.

“Water use more than doubles, in the summer when seasonal rainfall is at its lowest,” says Dave Cros-by, SCRD Manager of Util-ity Services. “Restrictions help ensure that demand does not exceed the capac-ity of our water supply and distribution system and also ensures that there is always enough water for our fire protection on the Coast.”

Sprinklers, soaker hoses, irrigation systems and oth-

Stage 2 outdoor water use restrictions now in effect

er watering devices can be used for outdoor watering according to the Stage 2 schedule below:

• For even addresses out-door watering is allowed Thursday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

• For odd addresses out-door water use is allowed on Wednesday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Hand held hoses with shut-off devices can be used anytime for watering trees, shrubs, flowers or vegeta-bles.

Hosing of sidewalks and driveways, windows or exte-rior building surfaces is not allowed except to pressure wash surfaces to prepare for paint, etc., or as required by law for safety.

Rain sensors are now re-quired on all irrigation sys-tems. This prevents irriga-tion systems from running when it’s raining. Low flow drip irrigation systems, in-cluding micro-drip and drip

tape systems are exempt from the watering restric-tions because they are wa-ter-conserving systems. This exemption is particularly useful for the agricultural community.

Permits for watering be-yond the allowable times in order to establish new lawns (seed or sod) will not be is-sued at Stage 2. New lawns should not be established during the summer season.

Water Conservation edu-cation and enforcement have increased paroles. Avoid fines and protect your drinking water supply by following the sprinkling schedule above. For more information, contact the SCRD at 604-885-6806 or the Town of Gibsons 604-886-2274. Visit www.scrd.ca/Sprinkling-Regulations for details on water use re-strictions.

It was a sizzling Sunday at the Sechelt Airport as the

Sunshine Coast Drag Rac-ing Association (SCDRA) hosted the Hot Summer Showdown.

Shade was at a premium as racers, spectators and vol-unteers found out. The heat didn’t stop the fun as the 75 registered cars put on a big show. .

In the Street Machine final it was Levi Stanley-Clarke of Wilson Creek and Dennis Leis in his cool 1977 Dodge pickup. Stan-ley-Clarke dialed in a 10.5 and Leis a 9.9. Leis found himself spinning a bit too much off the line and ran a 10.66. Stanley-Clarke took the win with a 10.74 at just over 67 mph.

Jim Pashniak in the La-verne’s Grill 1968 Impala and Tom Sealy in the 69 Grand Prix met in the Super Street final. Pashniak dialed in an 8.9 and Sealy a 9.7. Both beat their dial-in with Pashniak crossing the line with an 8.882 for the win. Sealy ran a 9.645.

Scorching races and excited fans

Ron Berg from Port Moody was given special recognition and was awarded the Spirit Award. at the Sunshine Coast Drag Races on Sunday. Ron has attended each SCDRA event for the last 14 years and is an important addition to the Race’s valuable hard working volunteers.

made the jump to the Street Rod class in June with his 1968 Mustang. Rose has a volunteer role at each race but still found time to reach the final. On the other side of the track was Mike Jack-sons Charger. Jackson had Rose in the early going of the race but Rose had him by the long end. Rose ran a 7.803 with a dial in of 7.80, which was just a bit too good for Jackson to match.

David Crombie won a bye to the final in Hot Rod and this left Brian McLen-nan and Jimmy Oshvalda in the semi-final. As was the case earlier this year, McLen-nan jumped at the start to red light and Oshvalda had minutes to prep his 1962 Dodge Dart for the final. Crombie dialed in a 7.3 time and Oshvalda a 7.47. With a couple nice burnouts to ready the cars, the stage was set. Crombie red-light-ed and Oshvalda ran the 1/8 mile at 7.622 at 93.82 mph.

During the lunch break there was the ‘Grudge Race’ between Sechelt Mayor John Henderson and Sechelt First

Nation Councillor, Randy Joe. Both racers had a couple good ‘head to head’ practice runs as Joe worked to launch the 570hp 2012 Camaro and he appeared to have the edge. The crowd was silent as both racers staged and waited for starter Colin Stracker to engage the tree. The lights ran the sequence and both cars were off and down the track. Henderson red lighted giving the win to Councillor Joe.

The valve cover races were run during the noon hour with Kai Hilderbrant of Halfmoon Bay taking home a nice trophy.

Ron Berg from Port Moody was given special recognition and awarded the Spirit Award. Ron has attended each SCDRA event for the last 14 years and is a valuable hard work-ing volunteer.

David Kipling was also given special recognition for his 15 years of dedication and support of the SCDRA.Submitted by Richard Austin

Horoscope

MichaelO’Connor Astrologer

Tip of the Week:Before Leo time ends and

Virgo begins and with four planets in the lion’s sign, plus the Black Moon, it merits some special atten-tion. Leo is the sign of en-tertainments, fun, games, play, sports, children and creative offspring of any kind including works of art and performance. Holly-wood and show biz in gen-eral come under the domain of Leo. It can be interpreted as the ‘earthy fire sign’. In this regard Leo possesses a solid and practical ap-proach to the affairs of life. Superstar and mega wealthy singer, song writer, per-former, actress and CEO of her own fashion and acces-sories company, Madonna was born on August 16th. Often liking to be the pro-ducer, director and actor in their own show, people with Leo strong and balanced in their Astrological signa-ture demonstrate creative, determined and steadfast leadership.

Excess and imbalance of the Leo archetype can pro-duce a proud, dominant, controlling and dictato-rial disposition. Napoleon Bonaparte and Benito Mus-solini are historical exam-ples. But these characteris-tics are not limited to people whose Sun Sign is Leo. Any of the 12 Zodiac Sign ar-chetypes can be prominent even when the Sun and the sign it is in is not directly involved. An actual chart must be cast to decipher such factors. Positively, Leo is expressed as a generosity of spirit backed by an ardent passion to essentially get at-tention in order to entertain others and, more pragmati-cally, to achieve and to win recognition, fame and ac-colade.

In this Age of Aquarius, which is still dawning, Leo is situated on the relation-ship line which naturally attracts a lot of attention. Thus we see and experience great prominence and fame among actors, professional athletes and celebrities of any and every kind. In the context of our current age and in the wake of a rapidly emerging global culture, these people are placed on the veritable pedestals of the gods of mythology.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Fun, sun, games and a

healthy twist of passion and drama are all current themes. In the drama de-partment it may even be matters of birth, life and death. Something is surely

changing or someone and this may especially be you. Looking back over the past couple of years you will no-tice that you have under-gone a veritable metamor-phosis. How much fun can you have?

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Creative inspirations are not just pouring in, you are in the water. Blessings are now yours to receive and enjoy, though these may be mixed due to the power ploys of significant oth-ers. Yet you can probably handle them. Meanwhile, a growing urge to express the beauty you are seeing and feeling inside is your main focus.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)Ventures and journeys are

keeping you busy. Some of these may have come about unexpectedly. At worst you feel a little scattered and overwhelmed. You have to make extra efforts as well. You may feel the need for support, a rock to lean on. Amidst the wide array of activities and personalities, you may need to focus more than usual to claim your own balance and center.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Patiently establishing

a new and more reliable foundation continues. This includes building your mo-mentum. As well, you feel compelled to take stock of your resources and to increase your reserves. In-creasing your overall aware-ness of what is implied and required is featured. How-ever you do it, your focus is to invest into your future.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Thoughts and notions of

increase and expansion re-main firmly on your mind. Success requires that you be willing to take a few risks, a leap of faith or two. The main obstacle stands to be inertia and apathy linked to subcon-scious fears. Take deliberate measures to confront and overcome these. Know what you want, decipher why you feel hesitant and then let ac-tion lead the way.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are in a creative cycle that requires that you step back and take space for a while. Yet, it also demands organization, clarity, de-termination and follow through. All of this can be done behind the scenes. Whether you feel called to download your dream vi-sion, get organized, outline a power plan, set things in motion, or all of the above, this is your final cue.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Your sense of individu-

ality is really beginning to shine through. This is gen-erally an expansive time for you. Meeting people and es-tablishing new friendships is featured. Your ambitions are fueled, though you are still in a process of paying dues and passing entry exams. This will continue until the end of the year. Patiently persevere.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)You are in a passionate

and determined mood. So much so that others may even find you overzealous and pushy. You are in a commanding mood which might even be interpreted as demanding. It does make sense that you want to take new leads to increase your exposure and influence. Be careful not to overdo it.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec

21)Some big energy patterns are stirring both within and without. Inwardly you feel called to overcome, to do battle with limiting beliefs and worn out attitudes and behaviour patterns. Out-wardly you are feeling very excited, perhaps especially about cultural events. Ei-ther way, there is plenty of drama stirring requiring op-timism and faith.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) A search for new re-

sources, talent and leverage is keeping you busy now. Deciphering what you want and need and who can meet your criteria is firmly on your mind. To this end you have research work underway. You have many questions and want answers to all of them. You are less patient than usual and will play hard to win.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)With each new day your

world is expanding. This includes your social out-reach. Making new connec-tions feels necessary but is a source of excitement as well. The time is right to share what you know. Others will prove receptive, even enthu-siastic to hear your message. Be willing to take the stage and shine your light. Do it for one and for all!

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)A creative work cycles

continues. In addition to the actual organization and follow through efforts im-plied, the work also includes mustering the vision, faith and courage to take action. Yet, you are not meant to do it alone. Cooperation and collaboration is required. Decipher how you can best make win/win proposals.

Music in the Landing at Gibsons has been featuring spectacular music acts. The B.C. Day celebrations featured notables from Israel and the Lower Mainland as well as fiddler, Maya Broeke and guitarist Arlen Ludlow’s trio. PhoTo By LInDA WILLIAMs
