One of the biggest luxury motor-yachts ever built on the Sunshine Coast has be-gun sea trials after a success-ful launch last week at the Gibsons Marina.
The $4.5-million, 65-foot, aluminum-hulled vessel, fin-ished in the signature dark blue of manufacturer Coastal Craft, was eased into the water midday Jan. 7 after an hours-long overnight trip from the company’s assem-bly plant in upper Gibsons.
Coast Craft President Jeff Rhodes said the boat has a long trip ahead to its new home.
“It’s going to end up on the East Coast, just outside
of Portland, Maine,” Rhodes said. “We’re going to put it on a ship later this spring, which will take it to Fort Lau-derdale, through the Panama Canal. We’ll unload it in Fort Lauderdale. Then I’ll get on board with the owners and we’ll drive it up to Maine.”
Meanwhile, Rhodes and his staff will make sure ev-erything is ship shape.
“We’ll spend the next cou-ple of months with the own-ers—who will be coming out a few times—doing some orientation with them, and getting all the bugs out of the boat,” he said.
Rhodes said the boat has some features that were not
Luxury yacht gets lawless launchincluded on Coastal Craft’s first 65-footer, which was launched last year.
“This has been a special project for us,” Rhodes said. “It’s got the first enclosed fly-bridge, or ‘sky lounge,’ as it’s referred to in our industry. It also has an interior elevator that calls upon all three decks to give the owners better ac-cessibility. One of the owners is in a wheelchair, so this will allow her to get throughout 75 per cent of the boat.”
Coastal Craft has a number of vessels under construc-tion, including another 65-foot yacht, which is expected in the water late this year.

Editorial Opinion
Letters to the Editor – Opinions
Stand up, speak outLike any year, 2015 had its share of good and bad, tragedy
and beauty, hope and despair. It’s difficult not to get discour-aged by events like the Syrian war and refugee crisis, violent outbreaks in Beirut, Paris, Burundi, the U.S. and so many other places, and the ongoing climate catastrophe.
But responses to these tragedies and disasters offer hope. It became clear during 2015 that when those who believe in pro-tecting people and the planet, treating each other with fairness, respect and kindness and seeking solutions stand up, speak out and act for what is right and just, we will be heard.
As Syria descended deeper into chaos during 2015, people in many wealthy nations called for blocking refugees. But many more opened their hearts, homes and wallets and showed compassion.
Shootings and the inevitable absurd arguments against gun control continued south of the border, but many people, includ-ing the president, rallied for an end to the insanity. And while the U.S. presidential race remains mired in bigotry, ignorance and a dumbfounding rejection of climate science, many U.S. citizens, including political candidates, are speaking out for a positive approach more aligned with America’s professed values. And in 2015, voters here and elsewhere rejected fear-based election campaigns that promoted continued reliance on climate-altering coal, oil and gas.
The fossil fuel industry and its supporters continued to sow doubt and confusion about the overwhelming evidence for human-caused climate change and to rail against solutions, but many more people marched, signed petitions, sent letters, talked to friends and family, demanded action from political, religious and business leaders, and got on with innovating and implementing solutions.
The public appetite for a constructive approach to global warming led Canada to shift course in 2015, taking global warming seriously enough to make positive contributions at the Paris climate conference in December.
If we want to heal this world we have so badly damaged, we must do all we can. Although many necessary and profound changes must come from governments, industry and other institutions, we can all do our part. For the climate, we can conserve energy, eat less meat, drive less, improve energy ef-ficiency in our homes and businesses and continue to stand up and speak out.
Events in 2015 taught us that when those of us who care about humanity and the planet’s future stand up and speak out, we can make this small, blue world and its miraculous life and natural systems a better place for all.

A “horrible system”(Sent to managers at the
SCRD, and copied to the Local)Jan. 1, 2016 at the Gib-
sons Rec Center. My facil-ity pass had expired on Dec. 31. I wanted to purchase a three-month pass, the most economical option available for me to keep fit and stay healthy. I was informed that you must have my credit card on file and debit my chequ-ing account or credit card monthly for that option to be available to me. So as to avoid this cumbersome bookkeep-ing and insecure ‘option’ I offered to pay in cash, and to pay the full amount up front with credit card, and was declined. I did this as a mat-ter of privacy; my credit card information has already been used by thieves; now I have to worry further about the availability of sensitive infor-mation allowing the theft of my identity to be had more easily. Or, I can pay the single drop-in fee which is much more expensive.
Then today I wanted to book a court and was told that even to book the court they needed my credit card information. What if I didn’t have a credit card? I wouldn’t be able to access the facility and play squash or racquet-ball, sports that require ad-vance booking.
This policy, that your sys-tems are set up like a large corporation for community services and that this system gives your users no options for privacy or choice is un-acceptable for a community resource such as recreation.
First of all, you have all our birthdays, and they show up on the screen at check-in to whoever can see the distance from the desk top to the screen; I know, I was alarmed to read it more than once. This means that all someone who wants to steal anyone's identity has to do is hang around the desk until the screen pops up with all that data. And we have no choice
to opt out, that's the initial crime.
This kind of big-brother, corporate approach to my community facility is offen-sive and just dead-wrong. Please change this horrible system to give each of us a choice to participate with our privacy intact. You can do better. Just say NO to technol-ogy that is easier for you, per-haps, but definitely not for our community. At least give us a decent choice.

‘Awesome generosity’I would like to express my
heartfelt thanks to all who supported my recent Breast Cancer Fundraiser; to Strait Coffee for providing the venue for the shaving event and donation drop off; to Nikki Lloyd of Electric Hair for shaving my head; and for the generous donations of the people of the Sunshine Coast. Thanks to their support I was able to reach the amount of $1,780.80.
Any who still feel like help-ing me to reach the hoped-for goal of $2,000 can do so at my special page on the Cancer Foundation website. That can be accessed at http://donate.bccancerfoundation.com/site/TR/Events/ResponsiveTR?px=1917960&pg=personal&fr_id=2800
Once again, thank you Sun-shine Coast. Your generosity is awesome.

Forest diversity(Re “Home to elk”, the Local,
Jan. 7)Ross Muirhead’s letter
about Roosevelt elk displays the usual selective reading of the facts by Elphinstone Logging Focus to match their own agenda. It does a serious disservice to the elk, which require an abundance of browse to flourish.
A cursory reading of the literature or even better, a few field trips on the logging
roads of the Sunshine Coast will clearly demonstrate that elk spend most of their time browsing in open ar-eas where an abundance of grasses, plants and bushes exist. Except when the elk are browsing people’s gardens, this habitat is usually found in regenerating clearcuts.
Elk, like many other Sun-shine Coast species, flourish where a diversity of habitats and forest age classes exist, from clearcut to old growth.

‘Stop the hunting’(Sent to Premier Christy
Clark and copied to the Local)I am hoping that 2016 is
going to be a good year for our oceans, forests and wild-life. Regarding the killing of more wolves and bears – it must be a joke. I cannot be-lieve this is true. Since 95 per cent of BC people are against the trophy hunting, you can-not ignore this.
Tourists from all over the world come here to experi-ence our beautiful nature and wildlife. They take pictures.
We had unusually high numbers of orphaned bear cubs last season. Why? Too many mother bears are get-ting killed on the roads, or shot by hunters, or conserva-tion officers. “Conservation” officers should be trained to conserve and care. You should make changes, like heavy fines, for people who attract them by leaving a gar-bage container outside. Stop logging the so-important habitat they need for food and protection.
Stop hunting on the Sun-shine Coast. We would have a lot fewer cubs who are with-out their mom.
Stop the trophy hunting al-together.
This is your chance to make history as a premier who re-ally cares for our beautiful en-vironment and wildlife.
Cornelia van Berkel, Sechelt
‘Stop the bombing’(Addressed to Defence Min-
ister Harjit Sajjan and copied to the Local)
According to the Hill Times Online, "Canadian Armed Forces disclosed in Decem-ber that CF-18s had dropped a total of 546 so-called ‘smart bombs’—laser guided—since November, 2014.” The article goes on to describe multiple Canadian air strikes since Dec. 1, 2015, three weeks af-ter Mr. Trudeau and his gov-ernment were sworn in.
When will your govern-ment honour its election promise and please cease all illegal bombing of Iraq, that is all bombing which is not explicitly authorized by the UN Security Council? Will your Ministry redirect the millions of dollars in destruc-tive bombs dropped on small countries abroad towards useful programs of social up-lift at home?
Do you believe that per-haps our soldiers could set up solar panels on public build-ings in Canada? Wouldn’t this contribute in a more useful way to Canadian energy and environmental security?

Holy Crap wine and beer are a couple of the new prod-uct lines that could be in the works thanks to a deal re-cently signed by the owners of the hugely successful Sun-shine Coast organic cereal company.
Founders Corin and Brian Mullins appeared for a sec-ond time on CBC’s Dragons’ Den in a program broadcast Jan. 6. It was also the second time the Mullins did a deal with Dragon Jim Treliving, only to see both parties again amicably back out of their initial verbal agreement.
This time, the Mullins quickly signed up with an-other Dragon, Manjit Minhas, whose Calgary-based fam-ily’s conglomerate includes the tenth-largest brewery in North America.
“They are capable of doing Holy Crap organic wine and beers,” Brian Mullins said in an interview with the Local.
“They’ve talked to us about licencing already.”
Minhas has come on as a co-CEO with the Mullins, and has agreed in principle to buy the company later for $3.6 million.
Although the program was taped and the deal was done last fall, the Mullins were sworn to secrecy until the show aired.
“We entered into a three-year agreement with the Minhas family on October 1st. We’ve been quietly working with them since then. They have a right of first refusal to buy the company,” Mullins said. “We’re all working to-gether and see how it works out. We’ve got a three-year deal with them right now, re-gardless of what happens.”
That comes as a great re-lief to those who watched the CBC broadcast and got the impression that Minhas had bought the company
Dragons deal for Holy Crapoutright. Actually, the Mullins are still in charge.
“We’re not going any-where,” he said, having signed a new three-year lease on their factory and warehouse on Hough Rd. in upper Gibsons, and retaining their 13 employees.
Meanwhile, the Minhas family will wield its corpo-rate power and consider-ably extend the reach of Holy Crap.
“Their marketing force in Western Canada is going to go into all the grocery stores and make personal contact with them that we couldn’t have done or afforded to do before,” Brian Mullins said.
And it doesn’t end there.“Our agreement with
Minhas is just for the U.S. and Canada. We are working with other potential partners, lit-erally around the world,” said Mullins. “We’ll see what hap-pens in China.” Rik Jespersen

Sechelt Council is pleased to announce that Tim Palmer will become the District’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), effective Jan. 18.
For the past 26 years, Tim has worked in a number of municipalities in British Co-lumbia. His first assignment as a CAO was in 2007, in Burns Lake. He also served in this capacity in the City of Revelstoke. As a consultant, he has provided CAO ser-vices to the communities of Sicamous, Nakusp and Ross-land.
His career in local govern-ment started in utilities and wastewater services and he later took on assignments as a superintendent of public works and a director of engi-neering.
Tim holds a Masters of Business Administration de-gree and trade certification as a millwright and electri-cian. He has certification in Local Government Admin-istration and training in in-ternational business studies and electrical engineering.
“As we recently completed an organizational review, our search for a CAO focused on individuals with proven abili-ties in guiding councils and staff through changes aimed at building effective and ef-ficient local governments,” said Sechelt Mayor Bruce Milne. “Council is confident that Tim’s experience in ad-ministration and manage-ment of infrastructure as well as his involvement in reviews of a range of municipal ser-vices make him the right per-son for this job.”
In accepting the appoint-ment, Tim Palmer stated, “It is an honour to have the op-portunity to serve council, staff and the community in such a spectacular location. I look forward to contributing to Sechelt’s future success.”
With Tim’s arrival, Interim CAO Bill Beamish will be leaving the employment of the District. In January, 2015, Bill took on a temporary con-tract to manage District op-erations during the transition period following the 2014 lo-
New CAO for Secheltcal government elections and the District’s organizational review, which began in early 2015.

Pull of the TidePam Goldsmith- JonesMP, West Vancouver Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky Country
I am very pleased to be able to meet with the entire set of Sunshine Coast elected representatives this January. As the government shapes policy on infrastructure in-vestment, environmental re-views, fisheries, oceans and coast guard, housing, seniors, mental health, child care – for example - it is fortuitous to be able to meet before the house resumes sitting on Jan. 25. I am grateful for the flexibility of community governments and agencies, to work within the time I have available.
Calendar for the coast:
January 18:- Longhouse welcome, Sechelt Nation, Sechelt- SCRD Chair Garry Nohr and CAO Janette Loveys, Sechelt
- Sunshine Coast Intergovernmental Meeting, Sechelt
January 19:- Local issues and initiatives, Pender Harbour- Roberts Creek Community School working lunch, Roberts Creek- Gibsons Chamber of Commerce, Gibsons
Please provide your ques-tions, ideas and constructive criticism to our team directly, anytime. We can be reached at [email protected] I look forward to summarizing key priorities for the coast and the region in future columns, and solicit your help in shaping the big picture.
I would like to extend my personal condolences to the friends and family of Harry Paul Jr. and my gratitude to-ward our compassionate community on the coast. Rev. Clarence Li, St. Hilda’s Angli-can Church, and volunteers and donors marked Harry’s
passing with care and with a commitment to help stabilize funding for Sechelt’s home-less shelter. It is good to see the provincial government’s support. A national housing strategy that puts housing at the heart of health is our goal.
Thank you also to the vol-unteers who responded so quickly to help relocate the dangerous derelict vessel that washed ashore in Gibsons recently, threatening proper-ties near Granthams Landing. Thank you especially to Dan Crosby. I am reviewing for-mer NDP MP Jean Crowder’s private member’s bill regard-ing derelict vessels. Research-ers in the library of parlia-ment are assisting us, and I look forward to your input as we help bring better legisla-tion to protect our coast, our assets and our safety.PS.

It appears that a popu-lar old scam has resurfaced on the coast. Several coast residents have reported receiving "Urgent Notice" postcards advising that they have an unclaimed reward of a $100 gas card and that they have twenty-one days to call the listed number to claim it.
One resident did so and
was eventually asked for her credit card and other sensi-tive information. Fortunate-ly, the resident realized this was suspicious and hung up the phone before giving up too much information.
Police would like to re-mind the public to beware of any offers that "seem to good to be true," and that demand urgent responses or finan-
Too good to be truecial information to pay for things like "processing fees."

Talk of The Town
Wayne Rowe Mayor, Town of Gibsons
A few weeks ago, the Town received approval from the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to adopt a bylaw that allows for a strategic investment in the equity of the Gibsons Public Market.
In 2012, a group of Gib-sons residents approached Council with a plan to ac-quire this property with the intention of developing a non-profit community gath-ering place, which would include a Marine Education Center, a Community Kitch-en, a Farmers Market and a variety of other outlets for local producers and artisans. These residents managed to elicit voluntary donations to the Town of Gibsons in the amount of $275,000. These donations, together with funds provided by some pri-vate investors (the Sunshine Coast Community Founda-
tion and Sunshine Coast Futures), raised sufficient funds to acquire the property, which formerly belonged to a local yacht club and had been unoccupied for more than 10 years. The donations given to the Town by our residents al-lowed the Town to acquire a 38 per cent equity interest in the property.
Once the property was acquired, the residents that began the initiative formed a non-profit society, the Gib-sons Community Building Society (GCBS), in which many other local residents are now participating. The purpose of the society is to raise sufficient funds to do the renovations required to create this new community space. This hard-working group has managed to obtain funding commitments from Telus Corporation of approxi-mately $400,000, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for $100,000, Bank of Mon-treal for $50,000, other pri-vate donors at the amount of $500,000 and the Island Coastal Economic Trust for $400,000.
Council decided to consid-er an active use for the Parks Reserve Fund that had been dormant for approximately 25 years, with a balance of $338,000. The staff report indicated that the Town had parks and natural spaces well in excess of the provincial av-erage and that there was no likelihood of any need for fur-ther green park acquisition in the foreseeable future. Coun-cil unanimously agreed that these funds might be better applied to this project which, in view of the Council, is a form of park use in that this property is being developed as a non-profit community gathering space. With the transfer of these funds, Town equity in the project will be increased and the society will be able to move closer to its goal as well.
Our Council views this project as an important stim-ulus to our Town. On behalf of Council, I wish to express our sincere thank you to all the volunteers and donors who are making the vision of the Public Market a reality for Gibsons and the Coast.
On January 9, police at-tended at a disturbance at a business in the 5700 block of Teredo Street in Sechelt after a customer grew irate with the way his meal was being assembled.
The customer, who felt he was being shortchanged, refused to accept his meal until the perceived shortage
was rectified, but grew upset when staff helped other cli-ents first. The customer then picked up the food and threw it at one of the staff. Fortu-nately, the staff member was uninjured but the client was asked to leave and take his concerns up with the busi-ness owner at another time.

Do you have a hard time keeping your New Year’s resolutions? Even with the best of intentions it can be difficult to make changes to ourselves and our lives, and
break unwanted habits and behaviors. Here are some reasons why your resolu-tions may not be happening.
What you choose to do in life, whether “good or bad”, has an underlying emotional component to it. The reason “bad” habits are difficult to change is they’re usually connected to some underly-ing unresolved emotion that
you may not be aware of. If one of your New Year’s reso-lutions is to quit smoking, or lose weight, or change your eating habits, sometimes it will be difficult to make these changes without un-derstanding and resolving the emotional component connected to it. Working from a deeper emotional place is sometimes neces-sary to change what seems to be “just a habit or behav-ior”.
The other reason resolu-tions can be hard to keep is that you maybe reaching for too big a goal or change that you are not emotion-ally ready to make at that level. Not being ready can
be connected to underly-ing emotional issues. So in order to make a change it may be necessary to work simultaneously with any un-derlying emotions, you will then be more likely to suc-ceed as you will be ready to sustain the changes. If you find that your goals are too big and overwhelming you can break them down into smaller, more attainable goals, so there is less resis-tance to making the changes and reaching the goals you desire.
Our natural state is well being and balance, not just on a physical level, but men-tally and emotionally. New Year’s resolutions usually stem from a desire for better health and more happiness in our lives. However, when we address changes from strictly a physical level, we
may find that there is still a feeling of imbalance and that our old habits return easily.
If you are feeling a need to make huge life altering changes, then working from a deeper place emotionally, from the inside out, will be the most effective. Working with a professional, such as a homeopath, can help with your physical well being, as well as, how your emotions are connected to your be-haviors and physical imbal-ances, and will give you the support to make effective, permanent change.
It takes time to shift your habits, but the desire to change is the first step. Seek-ing some kind of support whether working with a pro-fessional or joining a group who reflects the changes you want to make, will ultimately be the most effective.

The Pender Harbour Le-gion hosts its 40th Robbie Burns Dinner on Sat., Jan. 23. Sue McDonald, Secretary for the Legion, described it as a night of everything Scottish. “It’s something we grew up with,” she said, referencing the longevity of the event. “One of those traditions that have always been there.” For those who don’t know, Robert
Burns was born Jan. 25, 1759 and is regarded as the nation-al poet of Scotland. He died at age 37 of rheumatic fever, but not before writing many beloved songs and poems, including Ode to A Mouse, A Red, Red Rose and Auld Lang Syne, which is played the world over every New Year’s Eve. His friends held a memo-rial dinner for Burns in 1801, five years after his death, and now Robbie Burns dinners take place annually around the world on or near his birth-day.
The dinner at the Pender
Harbour Legion is a mostly traditional affair. At 5:30pm, the festivities get underway with Poet’s Hour. “It’s like hap-py hour,” says McDonald, but with The Bard of Ayrshire’s poetry thrown in. At 6:30, the Legion’s Pipe Band will pipe in the haggis, and shortly after-ward the Selkirk Grace is said and dinner will begin. Haggis is the traditional Scottish dish of sheep’s pluck (heart, liver and lungs) with onions, oat-meal, suet, and spices boiled in the sheep’s stomach. “I eat haggis but I don’t really want to know what’s in it,” says
Robbie Burns
The bi-annual auction of Gibsons lamppost banners has again raised a few thou-sand dollars to help fund the town’s banner program. But the total is several hundred dollars short of what it might have been after two banners by renowned local painter Greta Guzek went missing and are now believed to have been stolen.
About 70 banners are cre-ated by volunteers every two years. They are taken down temporarily after one year for cleaning and touch-ups before they’re re-mounted in the spring.
Banner program volunteer coordinator Connie Johnston said they noticed after they were taken down in Novem-ber 2014 that one of the two banners that Guzek painted earlier that year was missing.
“We treated it as just a mis-placed banner and put out a public appeal, but heard nothing back and just left it at that,” said Johnston.
But after the banners were taken down again last No-vember, the remaining Guzek banner also was nowhere to be found.
“It went missing sometime between the take-down just after Remembrance Day and the time I picked them up about a week and a half later,” Johnston said.
“I immediately contacted [Gibsons Director of Parks and Community Services] Wendy Gilbertson. She called
the RCMP, and they’ve been on it.”
The 2-ft-by-5-ft nylon banners had been stored at the Arts Building on South Fletcher Rd. for the 10 days between the time they were taken down and when John-ston picked them up to pre-pare them for the silent auc-tion at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery. The auction ended Jan. 10.
Johnston said she has post-ed an image of the missing Guzeks on a number of dif-ferent local Facebook pages.
Guzek banners believed stolenEach shows three small boats drawn in the painter’s dis-tinctive and popular style.
“Usually a Greta banner could be auctioned for at least $200 to $300,” Johnston noted. “A small painting of hers can be $3,000 to $4,000.”
A new batch of banners will be created in March and begin their two-year stint on Gibsons lampposts in April.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts of either of the missing banners is asked to contact the Town of Gibsons or the RCMP. Rik Jespersen
McDonald. Last year’s event saw 75 diners give haggis a try. “Not everyone likes it,” admits McDonald. “If they have some, it might just be a spoonful.” Also on the menu is roast loin of beef, bashed neeps (mashed turnips with carrots) and tatties (mashed potatoes). Dessert will be a surprise. Scotch, the national
drink, will be on hand, of course, for toasting during the traditional speeches and po-ems, including the Address to A Haggis, Toast to the Lassies, Lassies Reply, and the Immor-tal Memory, a speech given commemorating Burns’ life and work. The speeches are kept short, promises McDon-ald, so there’s more time for eating and fun.
The Coast Fiddlers will be on hand to provide music and while kilts are not part of the dress code, wearing dancing shoes is highly recommended for post-dinner revelry. Tick-ets to the event, which begins at 5pm, are $35, available at the Pender Harbour Legion or Harbour Insurance in Madei-ra Park. Everyone is welcome. For more information, contact the Legion office at 604-883-2235.
The two Greta Guzek banners believed to have been sto-len could be worth several hundred dollars. The banner on the left went missing in November 2014, the other last November. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Horoscope
Michael O’ConnorAstrologer
Aries (Mar 21–Apr 20)Just when you begin to
turn a stride into a run, Mercury turns retrograde causing you to slow down again. Whether it is self-confidence or hesitancy due to outer complexities, or both, paying closer atten-tion to the details is likely and probably wise. Measure twice, read the fine print and include an internal cheque to decipher if your inner counsel agrees with your strategies to advance.Taurus (Apr 20–May 21)
In the dawning days of 2016, you are awakening to a few questions whirl-ing in your mind. Who am I now? What constitutes my best direction? How should I best make progress in a healthy, balanced and pow-erful way? The flip side of questions is answers. Ask and anticipate insights and inspirations. These are all reflections of changes brew-ing within – the deep end of this pool of questioning.Gemini (May 21–Jun 21)
Balancing dreams, wishes and fantasies with reality is probably an old story for you. You were blessed with a more active imagination than most all other signs, but it comes with its own li-abilities. Digging deep to di-rect your commitments re-alistically according to outer circumstances is likely now. How easy or hard this is de-pends on how able you are to balance creative intention with surrender to the flow.Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)
Making some power plays is now in focus. This includes a weave of diplomatic nego-tiations which entail speak-ing your mind yet keeping the peace. With a busy pace and a steady learning curve
in the mix, boredom is hard-ly the issue. Bringing some of your cherished dreams and/or higher ideals into your daily reality is where the learning is greatest.Leo (Jul 22–Aug 23)
Sometimes Mercury Ret-rograde can actually offer us an extra advantage. The edge you are getting in-volves a clearer understand-ing of things. Your powers of analysis are running high. You are also being afforded the opportunity to go deep somehow. This can include psychological and spiritual breakthroughs. Use this power to see through the January blues.Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)
Dreams of possibility are in reverse and thereby may become actions in reality. Beyond the usual routine, something else calls, some-thing special. Yet, there may be lingering fears blocking you. The key to overcoming these is to have a plan of ac-tion. Call it a strategy or a formula, whatever it takes to lead you to take that first important step.Libra (Sep 22–Oct 22)
Some major shifts and shakes close to home should be keeping you busy now. These are linked to changes in your income levels. Hav-ing faith in it all may be a challenge. You have to dig a little deeper to succeed, es-pecially in terms of feeling at peace about it all. Cultur-al distractions could prove extra helpful. Find reason to see the light in the tunnel.Scorpio (Oct 22–Nov 21)
Things are accelerat-ing. Fortunately you mind is sharp and alert. This is not the time for frivolous thoughts or activity. The time has come to push through. Returns are com-ing in yet you have to play your part to receive them. These are all features of a larger backdrop of a steady flow of change in your over-all lifestyle. Prayers for the
highest good of all are the music playing in the back-ground.Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21)
What do you have, want and need? Such are ques-tions floating in your mind. You are more sober and determined than you have been for some time, years even. You would like to go big somehow, yet also feel the need for some restraint. Call it calculated risk. Seeing the bigger picture that matters to you clearly enough may be at issue. Proceed slowly until you get more facts.Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19)
You are feeling the power. Yet despite the big horse-power engines, you may also sense a leak in your fuel tank. Still, you are de-termined to break through lines of resistance. You need a plan born of creative intel-ligence beyond the usual. This is a call to try some-thing new. The old methods will no longer suffice. Dis-till your thoughts until the many funnel into the few.Aquarius (Jan 1–Feb 19)
Balancing the urge to re-treat or to work behind the scenes with an otherwise strong outer drive continues. Whether it is ambition or circumstance pushing you to perform, you are seeking a balance. Between work and home is play with friends and you are in the mood for it too. It comes down to time management. As long as you weave in enough retreat time too, all will be well.Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)
A steady expansion of your social and professional horizons is underway. While you are reaching out, others are looking for you. Wheth-er or not you are connecting depends on your genuine desire to engage. Stepping back to see the bigger pic-ture with the future in your scope, you may feel the force of necessity, or at least the lure of sweet satisfaction to increase your network.

For many of us, the recent holidays brought enjoyable times with family and friends and inevitably, perhaps, ex-panded waistlines and op-timistic New Year's resolu-tions.
Over the festive season all Sunshine Coast volunteer Search and Rescue units re-mained on call and in a state of readiness. Traditionally a time when the services of Ground SAR and Marine SAR personnel are less frequently called upon, late December nevertheless saw Royal Ca-nadian Marine Search and Rescue Stn 14 (Gibsons) deal with an unmanned sunken vessel on Dec. 20 and a few days later on the 29th an
unmanned vessel adrift in Collingwood Channel. On New Year's eve, a crew was called to investigate what was thought to be an emer-gency flare sighting on the southern tip of Keats Island, but which thankfully turned out to be innocent fireworks. In what might have been a serious incident on land, Sun-shine Coast Ground Search and Rescue were called just before New Year's to locate an individual reported miss-ing in the back country, and were able to find and assist the return of the wayward outdoorsman.
2016 got off to a chilly but joyous start with two Polar Bear Swims on New Year's Day. RCMSR Stn 12 (Half-moon Bay) were on hand assisting in Davis Bay with the fast response vessel the Ken Moore, finding time in the process to conduct
some vessel safety surveys, and with volunteer crew on shore to serve hot soup to chilly bathers. RCMSAR Stn 14 (Gibsons) participated in like manner at Armours Beach where a large crowd of participants enjoyed the hospitality and the back-up support.
Volunteer SAR, both Ground and Marine, embod-ies the principal of com-munity service, and the en-thusiasm members bring to the task is infectious. Just as apparent is the popular-ity SAR volunteers enjoy in our community and without this great relationship, little would be possible.
RCMSAR Station 14 (Gib-sons) are sponsoring a Float The Boat beer and burger raffle and fund raiser at Gramma's Pub in Gibsons on Feb. 13. A raffle of hockey tickets and two nights stay in Vancouver's Sutton Place Hotel in is on offer. Raffle tickets and tickets for the fun-draiser event are available at Gramma’s, Sunshine Kayak-ing, Park Road Automotive and other fine businesses in Gibsons.
Ground and Marine SAR members invite everyone interested to look into volun-teering and the challenging yet rewarding experiences it offers. For more information about Search and Rescue on the Sunshine Coast, please visit sunshinecoastsar.ca
