On Feb. 21, Sechelt Fire chief Bill Higgs will join 400 others (including Neil Dono-van, Robert Michael, and Tra-vis Young from Gibsons) and the to fight for clean air by climbing one of Vancouver’s tallest buildings. And if that’s not enough of a challenge, the BC Lung Association has introduced a new Fight & Flight Challenge, an obstacle course designed to test your strength, stamina and lungs, culminating with 48 storeys of intense stair-climbing.

Higgs is returning for a second year to the “Climb the Wall: Stairclimb for Clean Air.”

“Working in the fire ser-

vice, I’ve seen the first hand effects that smoke and par-ticulate matter can have on your lungs,” explains Higgs. “I climb in support of all the people I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and to cel-ebrate the fact that although many have diminished lung capacity, they are still healthy.”

All funds raised at this event go to ground-breaking lung health research, as well as patient support, advocacy, and education.

Are you up to the chal-lenge? Register now at www.stairclimb.ca or call the BC Lung Association at 604.731.LUNG (5864). Submitted

Editorial Opinion

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

Our community respondsThe Sunshine Coast Homeless Advisory Committee would

like to thank all the individuals and organizations who rallied to ensure that St. Hilda’s Cold Weather Shelter was able to open this winter, ensuring that homeless residents of the Sun-shine Coast have a safe, warm place to sleep this winter.

Thanks to the support of BC Housing and our community, the Cold Weather Shelter at St. Hilda’s opened on Nov. 21, 2015. The shelter initially opened from 7pm to 7am, but since Dec. 6, staff have been able to operate the shelter with extend-ed hours, from 4pm to 7am daily. The shelter’s current capaci-ty is 10 beds and since Christmas the shelter has been running at capacity each night, with clients supporting staff in setting up each afternoon and cleaning up each morning. The shelter is operating on a limited budget. Additional funding support would be much appreciated. Donations can be made to Sun-shine Coast Community Services Society (www.sccss.ca)

Staff from the Portland Hotel Society (PHS) were on site be-tween Nov. 21 and Dec. 31 to assist with operating the shelter and training new staff. Funding for PHS staff members was provided by BC Housing. The support from PHS and BC Hous-ing made all the difference in ensuring that the shelter could be opened earlier than anticipated and kept open regularly.

Currently, the shelter provides an evening meal to clients. The meal program is organized by Pastor Al Grochowski, with Bethel Baptist Church. Our thanks to Pastor Al and his volun-teers for their diligent work in ensuring that a hot meal is avail-able to shelter clients every evening.

Many, many other businesses and individuals from the com-munity have provided support, in the form of food donations, volunteer efforts at the shelter and donations of various items to the shelter. This included seasonal items, including a Christ-mas dinner, that were donated to the shelter over the holidays. The shelter would also like to thank the Salvation Army Thrift Shop, who support us with regular donations of items used by shelter clients (e.g. blankets, sheets, clothes, etc.).

Finally, a second Shelter Supervisor has been hired to en-sure round-the-clock management and supervision of the shelter. Judith Goetz joins the shelter, having been seconded from RainCity Housing Society for the remainder of the shelter season.

Once again, the support from all Sunshine Coast residents has been amazing and demonstrates the strength of our com-munity in responding to crisis.

“Blessed abundantly”We are thrilled to an-

nounce The Salvation Army (TSA) on the Sunshine Coast kettle total for 2015 is $67,000. This is $7,000 over our goal and $12,000 over our 5-year average.

TSA on the coast would like to thank all of the vol-unteers and donors for their support. This year we had 239 kettle volunteers hosting a total of 890 hours. Our best money day was Saturday, Dec. 19. Our best kettle of the campaign was our SuperVa-lu/Sunnycrest Mall location on Dec. 19. Our best-funded kettle location in 2015 was our Claytons/Trail Bay Mall location.

We are delighted to re-port that the total for The Salvation Army BC Division is $4,425,758.86. This is $400,000-plus over the goal.

We at TSA look forward to “Giving Hope Today” to the people in need on the Sunshine Coast with the es-tablished programs and ser-vices. We are blessed abun-dantly.

We have a plan(Re “High water”, the Local, Jan.21)Dear Mr. Roper, thank you

for contacting us with your information and concerns. The Town's current approach (since the OCP Update of March 2015) is as follows:

With regards to elevation requirements and sea level rise the OCP's Development Permit Area #1 (Geotechni-cal Hazards) indicates that new buildings and structures need to be located at least 2.5 m above the current sea level. This is a new provision that includes an anticipated sea level rise of 1 m by the year 2100. This elevation require-ment can be varied based on expert advice depending on life span of the structure or local conditions. The De-velopment Permit Area #1

guidelines provide more de-tails.

In terms of financial li-ability, the Development Per-mit guidelines as well as the Zoning Bylaw require that a save harmless covenant be registered on title confirming that the Town will not be held responsible for development in flood plains.

More backgrounds and policies regarding Climate Change and Sea Level Rise can be found in sections 6.7 and 6.8 of the Official Com-munity Plan. Climate Change and Sea Level Rise are a se-rious concern for our future and in the coming years the Town will continue to further develop strategies for new development and infrastruc-ture to adapt to a changing environment.

I hope this answers your questions.

Andre Boel, Director of Planning, Town of Gibsons

Lions in winterOn behalf of the Sunshine

Coast Lions Club, thank you for the excellent coverage of the Polar Bear Swim at Da-vis Bay which the Sunshine Coast Lions Club has spon-sored for the last 24 years.

The Sechelt Chamber of Commerce ran the Polar Bear Swim up to 1990 but can-celled the 1991 Polar Bear Swim. The Sunshine Coast Li-ons Club wrote to the District of Sechelt in January 1991 and requested approval for us to sponsor the event go-ing forward. We have run the event successfully since then.

Next year will be the 25th year the Sunshine Coast Li-ons Club will be sponsoring the Polar Bear Swim and we are planning a special event to mark the occasion. I have also announced that I will take part in the swim in the 55 and over category.

Al Hailey, presidentSunshine Coast Lions Club

Another picture of the Roosevelt elk in the “Chanterelle Forest”. BILL LEGG PHOTO

‘Clearcut myth’(Re “Forest diversity”, the Local, Jan.14)Tony Greenfield's letter,

where he states that ELF’s pic-ture of the Roosevelt elk (and letter)…is biased…demands a response due to it being a type of industry propagan-da. We are obliged to point out to your readers that Mr. Greenfield is a Director of the Sunshine Coast Community Forests (SCCF - a logging com-pany), the very same opera-tion that wants to clearcut log this elk's habitat. In addition, for 30 years he ran a tree-planting company, so his bias is rather large for promoting logging across the Coast.

While Elk may make use of clearcuts for browse, that window is brief. The litera-ture shows that once a tree farm reaches an age of ap-prox. 40 years the trees grow in so tight that an Elk can't possibly move through the understory. Greenfield's at-tempt to paint clearcuts in such a positive light, and that elk's survival is almost con-tingent upon them, is a myth. Are we to conclude that be-fore industrial logging came along elk had no place to find grasses and sedges? Natural landscapes provide wetlands, and open disturbance zones where elk have found plenty of browse for thousands of years. The greatest threat to

elk is fragmentation of their range due to logging, and ur-ban development.

In 1998, the Roosevelt elk was added to the Provincial Blue List of vulnerable spe-cies, due in part from loss of winter habitat to shelter in. During the winter, elk come down slope looking for intact forests protected from snow and cold winds. The very Chanterelle Forest that Green-field supports the logging of, is where the elk pictured in the Local was found. By ap-proving logging of this forest, Greenfield and the SCCF are adding to the displacement of elk further down slope into the human conflict zone. Not a good idea, Tony.

The District of Sechelt will order up a review of the Wa-ter Resource Centre project that could cost as much as $150,000, overriding the protests of one council-lor who said it’s a waste of money.

At its Jan. 20 meeting, Council voted in favour of hiring consultants Deloitte LLP to conduct a post-proj-ect review of the controver-sial $24-million wastewater plant.

“We’re going to spend $150,000 that I believe will yield very little more in-formation than we already have,” said Coun. Doug Wright, who later cast the lone opposing vote to the motion.

Wright suggested that the new manager of engi-neering—who is yet to be hired—and new Chief Ad-ministrative Officer Tim Palmer could do the internal review of the project instead.

“Some people are going to say we need to find out what went wrong so we don’t re-peat it,” Wright said. “My re-sponse to that is you’re not likely going to build another $24-million plant in the term of this council or the next council, either.”

However, other council-lors noted in their responses to Wright that, in a scathing report last April from B.C.’s Auditor General for Local Government [AGLG], the District had been advised to conduct a thorough review of the entire project.

The AGLG’s report found that the sewage treatment plant project had no prede-termined business case, in-sufficient oversight, lacked transparency in procure-ment and decision-making, and had exposed taxpayers to unnecessary risks.

“It is a lot of money to spend, but our community deserves to have answers to

Sewage plant review to proceedtheir questions,” said Coun. Darnelda Siegers, also citing the AGLG’s call for a review.

Coun. Noel Muller said the cost should be put in per-spective.

“Percentage-wise, a $150,000 review of a $24-million project, to me, seems good value,” Muller said.

Coun. Darren Inkster added: “The Auditor Gen-eral clearly identified this as something we need to do.”

Mayor Bruce Milne noted that Sechelt had just been named a recipient of a 2016 Sustainable Communities Award specifically because of the Water Resource Cen-tre.

Milne said there’s no doubt the plant’s innovative technology is “giving us the results we want,” but that there are still “a number of unanswered questions about the [approval] pro-cess.” Rik Jespersen

Judging by its sold-out launch party and by the rate at which people are signing up, the Sunshine Coast’s in-novative new ride-sharing program appears to be pick-ing up speed.

Share-There.com, devel-oped by husband-and-wife team Sean and Michelle Morton, is a unique blend of online tools designed to both help people get around the Coast easily, and help build community.

“It’s modeled on a few things that have never com-bined like this,” Sean Morton said at the packed Jan. 22 launch at Persephone Brew-ery. “It’s a social networking platform with a ride-sharing map tool. It makes it easy for people to communicate about the essentials of ride-sharing.”

Not everybody on the Coast has a car available when they need it, yet many cars are driven mostly empty, Sean noted.

“Up and down the Sun-shine Coast, just from Gib-sons to Sechelt, there are

about 8,000 or 9,000 cars on the road a day. And about 85 per cent of them have only one person in them.”

There’s no charge to use the simple—and mobile-friendly—Share-There web-site, where you can offer a ride, ask for a ride, look for a ride, create a ride-sharing network or group, or seek a group to join.

The concept has taken the Mortons about two and a half years to develop, so they’re also executing a business plan with the intention of getting a return on that in-vestment.

“The ride-sharing is to-tally free, because we want to make it really accessible for people. But we’re also doing event ticketing,” said Michelle. “We take a small ticket-processing fee, that’s how we make some revenue.”

Sean added that they’re also selling advertising on the site, with local IGAs already signed on.

“That’s why you see the little IGA icons on the map. So if you want to be a landmark,

Ride-sharing participation acceleratingyou can get on our map like that. That’s another part of our revenue stream,” he said.

About 130 people have signed up on the site already, and that’s going up by about 10 people per day. The Mor-tons have set themselves an ideal target of a few thousand participants, and envision ex-panding to Powell River and beyond. Rik Jespersen

Diesel vehicle owners:Do your part to combat Climate Change

by reducing your use of fossil fuels.

The continued burning of fossil fuels coming from the Tar Sands, and Gulf of Mexico

for our transportation needs must be phased out.

Convert your diesel to a dual-fuel system: start-up on diesel, switch over to

a straight vegetable oil (SVO) fuel. SVO is a plant-derived source, and is carbon-

neutral and non-toxic to the environment.

The Sunshine Coast has its own SVO Fuel Station, with a secured supply of the ‘golden fuel’.

Conversion kit and installation starting at $2,000. Pay-back on lower fuel bills as SVO sells for .60/L.

In addition you lower your carbon footprint.

Woodcrafters craft a new executive

On Jan. 20, The Suncoast Woodcrafters member-ship elected Kent Lindsey President, Ron Johnson Vice-Pres, Tim Dayton Secretary, Chuck Lenfesty Treasurer, Directors: Tom Hourigan, Ken Karaloff, Dave Stamper, Heinz Tigges, Ken Walker. Appreciation was expressed to Peter Bogardus, outgoing president for his outstanding leadership contributions and accomplishments.

The Woodcrafters promote the craft of woodworking as a hobby by the exchange of information about wood, woodworking tools and methods to improve mem-bers' skills and enjoyment by creating with wood. They meet the third Tuesday of the month at Chatelech Second-ary School. New members are always welcome, see our website http://www.sun-coastwoodcrafters.com/.

Jan. 19 that the Automatic Licence Plate Reader (ALPR), which was on loan from the force’s Lower Mainland Dis-trict, spent some time on the Coast in recent months, scan-ning a total of 8,550 local li-cence plates.

“It’s gone back to Vancou-ver but we’re going to bring it back in a couple of weeks,” Mathura said. “It’s a nice tool and we like using it.”

The ALPR, now deployed by a number of police forces across North America, works

with windshield-mounted infrared cameras connected to an onboard computer. The gear automatically reads li-cence plates of all parked or passing vehicles in the squad car’s vicinity.

Within a few seconds, the ALPR will sound an alarm to alert the operating officer if a scanned vehicle is not reg-istered or not insured, if its owner’s driver’s licence has been suspended, or if the ve-hicle is associated with a per-son wanted by police.

When asked what the RCMP does with all the in-formation the ALPR collects, Mathura said its use is regu-lated by the provincial pri-vacy commissioner.

“There is no data stored. I don’t have any [personal] sta-tistics related to the licence plates or anything like that,” he said.

Mathura did not reveal how many offenders had been caught by the device.

Police ReportRoyal CanadianMounted Police

Incident report January 19-26

Sometime between Janu-ary 8 and 22, a thief stole an aluminium boat, a boat motor, and a trailer from a residence in the 8700 block of Redrooffs Road, Halfmoon Bay. The boat is described as a fifteen-foot silver alumini-um fishing boat with a black Mercury 15-horsepower motor. The boat and motor were on a 15-foot long EZ Loader trailer with ball hitch and expired BC licence plate UHD69H. Inside the boat were three life vests and two brown fishing rods.

Around 9:30 am on Janu-ary 20, an officer pulled over a vehicle on the Sunshine Coast Highway in Halfmoon Bay after observing a vehicle driving without insurance. A restriction on the driver’s licence required him to have an Ignition Interlock Device, which he did not have. Addi-tionally, the airbag had been cut out of the steering wheel, the driver's window was held in with glue and rags, and the front seat-belt spring was broken which would not al-low it to retract. The driver was issued multiple tickets and the vehicle was towed.

Late on January 22, police witnessed a southbound ve-hicle on Pratt Road, Gibsons, travelling at a high rate of speed. After confirming on radar that the vehicle was travelling almost double the

posted 50 kilometre per hour speed limit, police conducted a traffic stop and determined the driver and sole occupant was not impaired. The driver was issued a Violation Ticket for Excessive Speed and Fail to Change Address on Driv-er's Licence and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.

On January 25, police at-tended a two-vehicle incident in the 1000 block of Chaster Road, Gibsons, after the driver of the first vehicle got distracted and started look-ing for her cell phone and ran into the rear of a vehicle and trailer that had pulled over to the side of the road to make a phone call. No injuries were reported but one of the vehi-cles had to be towed from the scene. The file is still under investigation.

Snuffle mats are a great indoor activity for dogs (and cats). Using a snuffle mat en-gages your dog’s nose and mind by having them search for food. It’s a great indoor activity for rainy days and the mat can be made more difficult as the dog gets more skilled.

Here’s one way you can create one for your dog or cat.

Items you’ll need:• an outdoor rubber mat with holes in it (available at Canadian Tire, Home Hard-ware)• several metres of fleece (it’s surprising how much fleece is needed and varies with the size of mat)Instructions:

Cut the fleece into strips about 2 centimeters wide by 25 centimeters long.

Working from the un-derside of the mat, thread a piece of fleece through one of the holes and the other end through the hole next to it. On the topside of the mat, tie a knot between the two ends of the fleece. To make a thicker

pile, repeat in another direc-tion to make an “X” on the underside and knot. Repeat with the fleece pieces until every hole is filled and you have created a pile on the top of the mat.

You can also make three different lengths of pile to vary things for your dog.

Once complete, spread treats across the top and, as the dog gets the hang of the game, make it more difficult by hiding treats amongst the fleece pile.

The snuffle mats can be made with a cloth base too. For instructions go to www.dogsofdistinction.com.

The underside of your mat should look like this.

The topside of your mat should look like this.

The Island Sky was to return Jan. 27 to its regular Earls Cove – Saltery Bay run after fi lling in for the Queen of Burnaby. WESTCOASTFERRIES.CA PHOTO

The Queen of Burnaby was to be back on the Co-mox -Powell River route as of Wed., Jan 27.

And that meant the return of the regular ferry to the Earles Cove route after filling in for the Burnaby.

BC Ferries has completed the required repairs to the Queen of Burnaby’s propel-ler hub and will bring the ship back into service, mini-mizing further impacts to customers.

The Island Sky will return to the Earls Cove – Saltery Bay route and the North Is-land Princess will return to the Powell River – Texada Island route with regular

schedules for all three routes back in effect as of Wed., Jan 27.

“We would like to thank customers for their patience while this critical repair was carried out,” said Cor-rine Storey, BC Ferries’ Vice President of Customer Ser-vices. “Although the sched-ule changes and disruption in service were not ideal, we are pleased the ship could get back to regular service in just a few weeks. We certainly apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”

The Queen of Burnaby is now over 50 years old and will be retired later this year. A new $84 million vessel, the

Ferries return to regular scheduleSalish Orca, is currently un-der construction and will re-place the Queen of Burnaby by the end of this year.

In recent years, BC Fer-ries has invested $30 mil-lion to upgrade and rebuild the berths at Little River and Powell River, and over $2 mil-lion in upgrades at Saltery Bay and Earls Cove terminals. One of the newest ships in the fleet, the Island Sky, ser-vices the Earls Cove – Saltery Bay route.

“These major investments in the Northern Sunshine Coast will ensure safe and re-liable service for many years to come for Powell River,”said Storey. Submitted

John Reischman and The Jaybirds come to the Gib-sons Heritage Playhouse for a matinee performance on Sunday, Jan. 31. Trish Gagnon on bass, Greg Spatz on fiddle, Nick Hornbuckle on banjo and Jim Nunally on guitar, make up the Jaybirds. The band, formed by mandolin player Reischman in 2000, may be known as a blue-grass band, but it’s also noted for its fresh and innovative

sound. “We are a bluegrass band,” confirms Reischman. “But we have a distinctive quality because we have two different lead singers, for one thing. Jim is more of a tradi-tional bluegrass singer with a high lonesome sound. Tri-sha has a beautiful, warm, rich tone. They contrast each other.”

In 1999, Reischman had just released Up In The Woods, a solo recording of original bluegrass instru-mental music and was look-ing for musicians to tour with to help promote his CD. He had worked with or met all his bandmates before he

brought them together as the Jaybirds. “I had the sense of the type of people they were musically and also personal-ly,” says Reischman. “They’re all fun to play with and I guessed they’d get along.” De-spite its individual members being spread across the West Coast, the band has been to-gether for 15 years, doing the extra planning it takes to bring everyone together for rehearsals, recording and tours. “We like spending time together,” says Reischman simply.

Though the individual members also pursue solo creative projects or play with

other bands, everyone also contributes original music to the Jaybirds. “I chose the type of band that it would be from the start so that it would feature some original mate-rial, but also a fair bit of old time, and traditional music,” explains Reischman. “Once everybody realized that, if they introduce original mate-rial, it’ll be music that fits the template of the band. Every-one gets featured,” he adds. “They’re not just my back up band.”

Known for their excellent musicianship, (they’ve been nominated for two Junos), and warm, inviting concerts,

Reischman in turn looks for-ward to playing here. “The theatre is a fun hall to play in, not too big and great acous-tics,” he says. “We still love getting together and playing music. It’s very satisfying. We’re not just phoning it in.”

John Reischman and The Jaybirds play the Gibsons Heritage Playhouse Sunday, Jan. 31 at 2pm. Tickets $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Tickets available at Laedeli Gifts and Sechelt Visitor Cen-tre. More information at heri-tageplayhouse.com or 604-886-8998.

The Green Film Series brings “This Changes Every-thing” to Sechelt at the Ra-ven's Cry Theatre on Sunday Jan. 31 at 2pm.

Directed by Avi Lewis, and inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction bestseller “This Changes Ev-erything”, the film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana’s Pow-der River Basin to the Alber-ta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond.

Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein’s narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most

controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better. As Klein puts it "What if con-fronting the climate crisis is the best chance we’ll ever get to build a better world?"

“This Changes Everything” is an epic attempt to re-imag-ine the vast challenge of cli-mate change.

There will be discussion after the film, and a short overview of the Paris COP agreement by guest Kathy Hartman of the BCTF.

Admission is by donation at the door (suggested $10). For more information go to greenfilms.ca.

A �ilm to change the world

Leading Caribbean writer Lorna Goodison, who now lives on the west coast of BC, will read in Sechelt on Feb. 6, at 8 pm, at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre. (corner of Medusa and Trail).

Her realistic portrayals of the downtrodden, the struggles of women and the resilience of the Jamaican spirit open a window onto a world that few of us will ever know. Issues of race, colour, home and exile infuse her work with dramatic tension, while a musical richness of language and explosive use of dialect lend a dramatic edge to her literary readings.

Goodison is the author of twelve volumes of poetry; Oracabessa (2013) is the most recent. She has also written three collections of short fiction, including By Love Possessed (2011), and a powerful non-fiction work,

From Harvey River: A Memoir of My Mother and Her Island (2008).

She is the winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, the 2008 BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction and the Jamaican national Order of Distinction. She has taught at the universities of Toronto and Michigan, and is also a talented painter.

"One of Goodison's achievements," says poet and literary scholar Edward Baugh "is that her poetry inscribes the Jamaican sensi-bility and culture on the text of the world."

Admission by donation. Sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Arts Council, with the generous assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Education MattersChristine Younghusband Trustee,School District #46

BC is in the midst of imple-menting the new grades K-9 curriculum, which officially begins September, 2016. The grades 10-12 curriculum will be implemented in Sep-tember, 2017. The new cur-riculum is based on the BC's Education Plan, Focus on Learning; designed to meet the needs of 21st century learners with personalized learning. Personalized learn-ing is student-centred, which may include student choice, student inquiry, and project-based learning.

New terms such as Core Competencies, the Big Ideas,

and the Learning Standards will be introduced with the new curriculum as well as new ways to communicate student learning. With a new curriculum, teachers require opportunities to learn, sense-make, and play with the pos-sibilities. The 2015/16 school year is an optional year for teachers to explore and experiment with the new cur-riculum.

The SD46 Board of Educa-tion committed $156,988 of restricted surplus to support curriculum implementation. This funding provides time for teachers and principals to collaborate, plan, and learn together under the guidance of SD46 Curriculum Coordi-nator, Dave Barnum. Shortly after, the BC Government also announced the new cur-riculum support plan, which includes 10 hours of non-in-

structional time in 2015/16, followed up by 5 hours in 2016/17 and 2017/18.

On January 4, SD46 held its first teacher-planned non-instructional day with great success. The second non-instructional day is sched-uled for Tuesday, March 29. The new curriculum has less content, deeper learning and more flexibility. The NEST nature education program at Davis Bay Elementary is an example of one of our schools that is working with the new curriculum and piloting the e-portfolio, Fresh Grade, to communicate student learn-ing.

The 2015-2019 SD46 Stra-tegic Plan supports profes-sional learning and lends itself nicely to successful im-plementation of the new cur-riculum to superbly prepare students for their futures.


School District No. 46 (SD46) received more great news from the capital man-agement branch of the Minis-try of Education in December. The school district presented a high priority request for a district-wide building au-tomation system enhance-ment and was granted up to $371,000 for this purpose.

Highlights of the project are:• Upgrading of all district Building Automation Systems (BAS) to current technology.• Adding occupancy sensors,

CO2 sensors and integration into district security systems to reduce run times of Heat-ing, Ventilation and Air Con-ditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems.• Re-programing HVAC to op-erate at maximum efficiency.• Adding live, real time en-ergy sub metering at every fa-cility with viewing access for staff and students.• Providing building perfor-mance dashboards on school foyer monitors.• Key Performance Indicator (KPI) monitoring and noti-

Energy-saving upgrades for schoolsfication to ensure peak per-formance of all equipment is maintained.• Load shedding (the build-ing automation system re-sponds by adjusting air conditioner and heater set points, shutting off auxiliary equipment, and stopping other nonessential systems) of high-energy use equipment during peak demand periods.

SD46 Manager of Facili-ties Rob Collison said the up-grades will allow the school district to reduce its energy use. Submittted

Community-minded Greg Russell has stepped forward as the next KidSport Sunshine Coast Community Champion. His donation to this program this year will provide eight children with $250 grants to go toward registration fees in a sport of their choice.

“I continue to support this program as there are many children in our community who could use help in play-ing sports,” Russell, a Gibsons resident and a school board trustee.

“Registration fees are the first step in the commitment of being on a team or partici-pating in an individual sport. I’m aware of how expensive it can be to participate in sports, so I am glad to have the opportunity to help some children.”

Greg Russell has been an annual KidSport Community Champion since 2009. One hundred per cent of his con-

tribution goes directly to the Sunshine Coast community. The Community Champion innovative program allows individuals, businesses and organizations to provide youth from Port Mellon to Earls Cove with a chance to play sports.

If you wish to be a Cham-pion in this program and help level the playing field ‘So ALL Kids Can Play’, please contact

A champion for kid’s sportsthe KidSport Sunshine Coast Chapter at 604-886-9766 or 604-886-8510. Through a minimum annual donation of $2,000, KidSport Community Champions are investing in a future where there are no fi-nancial barriers to sport.

KidSport Sunshine Coast has helped close to 780 kids participate in sports since 2009.

Horoscope

Michael O’ConnorAstrologer

Tip of the Week:Month 1 of 2016 is just

about complete. Fortunately, Mercury retrograde is also done for this round, as of Jan-uary 25th. Mercury is now in its shadow period. This is the period of time during which it recovers the ground it lost, so to speak. Even so, the shadow period shows Mercury in Direct motion, so those annoying delays and miscommunication… will largely be ‘resolved’.

We can generally expect the delays to largely end now and watch as the momentum steadily accelerates. At best this delay period has pro-duced some useful frustra-tion energy. This is the sort of condition that increases focus and resolve. Appre-ciating this perspective implies an attitude of grati-tude, a spirit of adventure and a general state of whole health. All the same, while grateful and optimistic at-titudes are ever wise, this is not a time for cavalier risk.

The larger social current is increasingly pushing for more skill, knowledge and professionalism. To best meet this challenge it is also more important than ever to be more self-aware and in tune with our sense of individuality. This is where astrology can help a lot. Astrology’s greatest value practically, psychologically and spiritually is its ability to reveal who you truly are.

Beyond all outer images, style trends, popular beliefs and perspectives and the larger flows and currents of society in generally, as-trology can serve to reveal your destiny flow and that of the relationships that you are committed to which are thereby woven into your destiny. I invite you to take a closer look.Aries (Mar 21–Apr 20)

Your pioneering spirit has been activated and you mean business. You are de-termined to enter new ter-ritory. Your ambitions are running deep and strong. Nothing less than practi-cal, strategic thinking will satisfy. A definite learning curve is indicated and the course load is hefty. While dreams are inspiring your actions, you want measur-able results.Taurus (Apr 20–May 21)

Getting the attention you want, need and feel you deserve is firmly on your mind. The time has come to take some deliberate leads. Outlining your skills, as-sets and expertise towards boosting your confidence feels important, perhaps even necessary. Naturally you are drawn to others who recognize your inter-ests and share your pas-sions, especially now.

Gemini (May 21–Jun 21)Circumstances have been

pushing you to dig deeper than you have for a while. You want answers and a research process is under-way. For your part you have reason to feel pretty confi-dent. However, others due to their situation and per-spective may be a cause for some concern. Seeing a big-ger picture and/or gaining a glimpse of the future to in-crease your confidence sure would be welcome now.Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)

A good deal of exchange and interaction with others has been keeping you busy. You can expect the pace to continue. In fact, in some respects the plot is getting thicker. The good news is that you are in a sporting mood, or is defiant a better word? Either way, you must contend with a spectrum of people and situations and that could be the cause of feeling stretched.Leo (Jul 22–Aug 23)

A social cycle has begun. New beginnings on rela-tionship fronts are indi-cated. The twist is that you have to dig deeper and give more. This influence has already been underway for the past couple of weeks anyway. The good news is that you are in a strategic mood. This is where social outreach comes to the fore. Whether your approach is digital or literal, the time has come to increase your exposure.Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)

You have entered an in-ventive cycle. Already you have been feeling creative and determined over the past few weeks. Circum-stances are also pushing you to respond. There is more going on that simply

a new year. Gain support from others without leaning on them. With your overall energy levels steadily on the rise, this could prove to be a breakthrough period.Libra (Sep 22–Oct 22)

Your ambitions continue to rise. Yet now suddenly you are in a playful mood. You will still want to at-tend to business, even to the point of turning your home into your work space. In fact, some major power moves are underway. A defi-nite learning curve process is featured. The learning and lessons are occurring at multiple levels. Yet, you also want to cut loose. This is your invitation.Scorpio (Oct 22–Nov 21)

You are very much an in-dividual and honoring your sense of individuality is important now. By exten-sion this includes how you live your life, your lifestyle. So, the time has come to explore new possibilities. In the short term this can simply include playing with new ideas and strategies. Working more closely with the new players in your life is important.Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21)

Many new ideas are roll-ing in. You are suddenly busier than you have been for a while. Practical ambi-tions are stimulating your focus. You are serious about expanding your world. Calcu-lated risk is featured. Turn-ing back now would likely re-sult in failure and it may not even be possible. So, forward it is. Keep an open mind and be receptive to wise counsel coming your way.Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19)

The time has come to strengthen foundations. This is linked to nurturing

The signs of change should be evident by now.

These may be coming at you from without, yet you too are taking strides in new directions. In some re-spects it is about style and conduct; how you proceed and the approach you are taking.

The time has come to

Gaining support and as-sistance from friends and other allies is extra impor-tant now, so ask and focus to work cooperatively. It is time to do the inner work to increase your outer in-fluence.
