The Sunshine Coast SPCA is tackling the issue of cat overpopulation by partner-ing with a local veterinary hospital. Eagle Ridge Veteri-nary Hospital doctors Mark Dilday, Karene Gillespie and Paul Haugen are providing low-cost spay and neuter sur-geries to cat owners by vol-unteering their time during non-clinic operation hours to offer feline sterilization sur-geries at a discounted price for low-income residents.In the past few years we have seen a huge increase in intact cats and unwanted lit-ters coming into the shelter. Many people are unaware that kittens as young as six months can become preg-

nant, says Christy King, relief animal care supervisor for the branch. Since February 2015, the Sunshine Coast SPCA and Eagle Ridge Veterinary Hos-pital have worked together to spay and neuter, vaccinate and tattoo 21 cats from the community and are excited to expand the program, with the team at Eagle Ridge Vet-erinary Hospital graciously donating their facility, equip-ment, time and skills. The goal of this initiative is to remove the surgery cost barrier for people who want to fix their pets and reduce the number of unwanted cats in the community. Interested individuals can

Low-cost cat neuteringapply to fix their cat under this program at the Sunshine Coast SPCA. The $50 fee in-cludes an exam, spay or neu-ter surgery, tattoo, a five-way feline combo vaccine and flea control treatment. For more information about the program or to re-quest assistance, call the Sunshine Coast SPCA, 604-740-0301 or visit in person at 4376 Solar Road, Sechelt.

4 The Local - Thursday, October 22, 2015Editorial Opinion

Letters to the Editor OpinionsGoal posts moved

(Sent to Transportation Minister Todd Stone, and cop-ied to the Local)On Aug. 28 BCF issued a Service Notice re Sunday Schedule Adjustments Hbay-Langdale and Earls Cove-Saltery Bay. It states that the eight sailings on Sundays on our Rte. 3 will be extended until October 11.I now understand that BCF intends to revert to the reduc-tion in one sailing per week (and has now done so) during the off peak months as origi-nally demanded by you effec-tive April 1, 2014.The reason given for these service cuts was that the ca-pacity utilization on our Rte. 3 was below your imposed threshold of 55 per cent. From the BCF operation Sum-mary per end March 2015 I see that the capacity utiliza-tion has recovered to 55.2 per cent, mainly because of an increase in traffic. Therefore, there is no justification to re-duce the sailings on our Rte. 3 by one sailing per week dur-ing the off peak months. Re-

introducing these cuts would be tantamount to shifting the goal posts during the game, a very unfair action indeed!Statistics show that traf-fic since spring this calendar year has increased by almost 5 per cent and indications are that this might continue in the foreseeable future. There-fore, we expect the capacity utilization on our route to be well above 55 per cent.From the BCF annual ac-counts for 2014/2015 I see that the expected savings from the reductions in ser-vice on our Rte. 3 have not materialized. Despite the service cuts of 0.76 per cent (23 sailings) our operation expenses have climbed by 5.3 per cent. The increase (cost of living?) for the other ma-jor routes was a mere 3.5 per cent (without service cuts). It appears the heavy over-loads and delays on Sundays with only seven sailings has caused most of the additional expenses.I wish to point out that last year our Rte. 3 produced earn-ings of $10.031 million on the

Operations Account when all the other routes (except Rtes. 1, 2, 6 and 30) showed nega-tive financial results. We are in good company and should be treated equally well, same as the other major routes.One weekly service cut during the non-peak season aggravates the many changes to our schedules. Customers often do not know whether they are coming or going.In order to maintain the reasonable customer satis-faction on our Rte. 3 (except value for money) it would be good policy to restore the eight daily sailings through-out the year for our Rte. 3.I would be most grateful if you would instruct BCF to restore with immediate ef-fect the eight daily sailings throughout the year on our Rte. 3.

Wood rulesDuring these cool autumn evenings, many British Colum-bians are starting to light their fireplaces or wood stoves to help keep their homes warm. However, people who cut or use firewood must ensure that it was harvested legally.

Before collecting firewood please obtain a firewood permit to ensure that your firewood collection adheres to local regu-lations, and to verify that firewood collection is permitted in the area from which you plan to obtain your wood.Firewood collection permits are free and allow British Columbians to collect and transport firewood from eligible crown lands for personal use. Permits must be printed, signed and carried with you when collecting firewood. Firewood per-mits are available at your local natural resource district office, or online at: www.gov.bc.ca/firewoodpermits.

To find out where firewood harvesting is prohibited on lands identified for conservation and/or other public use val-ues in B.C. contact your local natural resource district office.Firewood permits and their associated documentation de-scribe the permitted areas, methods, and amount of firewood that can legally be harvested in the different natural resource districts.Cutting down trees on Crown land without an appropriate permit, or selling any such firewood, is an ongoing concern in B.C. This activity is illegal and could result in a violation ticket or fine. It also could create safety hazards for recreationalists and other forest users, and negatively affect ecosystems including fish and wildlife habitats.The public can do its part to stop illegal harvesting by purchasing firewood only from legitimate producers who sell wood obtained either on private land or through authorized Crown land harvesting tenures: Anyone buying firewood should ask where the firewood comes from (Crown land or private land) and ask for a record of purchase. For firewood harvested on private land, the buyer should ask the seller for the district lot number and timber mark number. For firewood harvested on Crown land, legitimate com-mercial firewood producers should have a Forestry Licence to Cut document signed by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Submitted

Letters to the Edi-tor should be sent by e-mail to [email protected]. The deadline is Monday at 10am for that weeks paper. Generally, letters should not exceed 300 words. And all letters must be signed, include the writers community of residence and (not for publication) telephone number. Letters may be edited for a variety of reasons.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bear vs. LionsAbout one and half years ago, Gibsons Lions members checked on the two conces-sion trailers that they use for raising funds for our commu-nity. To their surprise, they found that bears had attacked and destroyed the fry trail-er. The result was that the next spring, summer and fall, the Lions Club was unable to serve the best fries on the Coast. Lion Dave Morane put his engineering skills to the task of designing and build-ing a new fry trailer. Lions Bob Nordlund, Dave Morane, Brenda Morane and Greg Collins and Daves son Steve Morane put in many hours to complete the trailer. The task was completed just before Sea Cavalcade celebrations. The Gibsons Lions are happy to have a new, better con-cession trailer to serve our community. The Gibsons Lions are holding an Open House, on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 7pm at the Dougall Park hall. If you would like to know more

Pictured, from left, with the Gibsons Lions new fry trailer are Bob Nordlund, Dave Morane, Steve Morane and Greg Collins. PHOTO SUBMITTED about how we serve our com-munity and have a great time doing so, please come and join us for coffee.

Election Results*

New Sunshine Coast Lib-eral MP-to-be Pam Goldsmith-Jones`s federal election vic-tory Monday has kept her remarkable winning streak alive.Goldsmith-Jonestwice elected councillor in West Vancouver, then twice elected mayormade it five for five in ousting incumbent Conser-vative John Weston, helping complete Liberal leader Justin Trudeaus stunning march to majority government.

We stayed on the high road with a positive message, al-ways, the 54-year-old mother of three told her supporters in her victory speech Monday night. We stuck with a few themes: democratic values, protection of the environment and improved relations with provinces, cities, communi-ties and First Nations. And we were on the right track.

Weston, MP since 2008, also kept things positive in a message sent out on Twitter just after his loss.Amazing country and an amazing riding. Congrats @pgoldsmithjones. It's been an honour, he said.Goldsmith-Jones more than doubled Weston`s popular vote, at 54 per cent to 26 per cent. New Democrat Larry Koopman finished a distant third with about 10 per cent, just ahead of the Green Par-tys Ken Melamed, who drew

about nine per cent. The Mari-juana Partys Robin Kehler won the support of 0.3 per cent, while Carol-Lee Chap-man of the Marxist-Leninists got 0.2 per cent of the vote.Barring any recounts, the seat totals in the next House of Commons will be Liberals 184, Conservatives 99 (a loss of 67 seats), New Democrats 44 (a loss of 61), Bloc Que-becois 10, with Green leader Elizabeth May once again se-curing the lone seat for her party with her win in the rid-ing of Saanich-Gulf Islands.The collapse of NDP sup-port both nationally and in this riding might reflect real support for the Liberals, but could also strongly suggest a shift to strategic voting among a decisive contingent of vot-ers looking to drive out the Conservatives at any cost. The NDP popular vote locally dropped to about half of the 21 percent the party garnered in the 2011 election. But it was the drop in the Conserva-

Coast a part of federal Liberal resurgence

tive vote that sealed the deal, falling off about 20 percent while the Liberals gained 30 per cent over 2011.As local and national polls showed growing Liberal sup-port, concerted social media campaigns by organizations like the local Alliance-4-De-mocracy urged voters to put their personal choices aside and vote for Trudeaus party in order to depose Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper. Strategic thinking was re-flected on some Liberal lawn signs that popped up on the Sunshine Coast in the last few weeks of the campaign. The doctored red signs had a white sticker added in the cor-ner which said, We vote NDP, but not this time. Stop Harper.

We bore the brunt of stra-tegic voting, thats for sure, Koopman told The Local Tuesday. Our congratulations to Pam. But we will hold the Liberals feet to the fire on all the promises they made.The intense interest in the election was also reflected in the overall popular vote, which rose to 68.5 per cent from 61.4 per cent in 2011. Local turnout was exception-ally high, with 73 per cent of the 89,459 eligible voters in West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country cast-ing ballots. B.C. as a whole turned out to be a hugely pleasant sur-prise for the Liberals, jump-ing from two seats to 17, the biggest number since Justin`s father Pierre Trudeau swept to power in 1968. The pro-vincial result also ensured the Liberals their parliamentary majority.

A group of Chatelech Secondary School students (including one dressed in the Chatelech Eagles mascot outfi t) rallied in downtown Sechelt on Oct. 16, urging people to vote, even though almost all high school students can't cast a ballot as they're not yet 18 years old. And on election day, the turnout in this riding jumped to 73 per cent, up from 63.3 per cent in 2011. Nationally, the turnout was 68.5 per cent, the highest in 22 years. RIK JESPERSEN PHOTO

Frank White, pioneer, ra-conteur and author of best-selling books, died Oct. 18 at his home in Garden Bay. White claimed to be British Columbias oldest active au-thor when he published his memoir That Went by Fast

at the age of 100 in 2014. A workingman and small busi-nessman who didnt retire until age 80 and wrote about his long life in a colloquial, unvarnished style, Whites trademark was his self-dep-recating humour.

Frank White dies at 101 Id got used to thinking my life hadnt amounted to much, he wrote, and it seemed most people agreed with me on that. Now its, Oh, you rode in a horse and bug-gy? You worked on a steam donkey show? Your girlfriend

was a flapper?...You should write a book! By hanging around so long it seems I have become an object of his-torical interest. His was a typical life for a British Columbian of his time, comprised mostly of endless hard work, although on the evidence of his stories it was seldom dull. He grew up in Abbotsford the son of the town butcher and at age eight began serving custom-ers in his fathers shop by standing on a butter box so he could see over the coun-ter. His father bought the first Model-T delivery truck in Abbotsford but couldnt get the hang of the horseless carriage so young Frankie taught himself to operate it, lying about his age to get his drivers licence at age 13. By the age of 13, I already had two professions: butcher and truck driver, he wrote.He built on his early start to follow the trucking boom that hit BC in the 1930s and 1940s, pioneering highway freighting then truck logging. In the 1950s he became a small-scale gyppo logger before moving to the coastal fishing village of Pender Har-bour, where he operated an

excavating business, a gas station and a municipal wa-ter system. Along the way he endured shipwrecks, topped 200-foot spar trees, fought forest fires, got physical with log rustlers, built houses, built boats, raised a family, dabbled in politics, built early computers, buried a beloved wife and daughter, travelled the world and wrote books. At age 92 he married the for-mer New Yorker writer Edith Iglauer, 89, and they con-tinued to live in their small waterfront cottage in Pender Harbour until the present. He died peacefully with his fami-ly and caregivers around him and his sense of humour in-tact. In his final hours when a nurse asked him how he was, he whispered between gasps, Hundred per cent!

White was bemused by his longevity and the celebrity that came with it. When I was fifty and still had most of my marbles, he wrote, all people wanted me to tell them was why their car stalled at the intersec-tion. Now that everything is starting to get hazy, theyre not satisfied unless I can tell them the meaning of life.On that score he wasnt

venturing any great pro-nouncements. Life is life. Its not under our control and it doesnt follow any script. It just is. He might have added, life goes a lot easier if you have a good sense of humour. Franklin Wetmore White was born May 9, 1914 in Su-

mas, Washington. He leaves his wife Edith Iglauer, a daughter Marilyn, two sons Howard and Donald, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren.Submitted

About 20 knitters and cro-cheters gathered at Trail Bay Mall on Oct. 17 to work to benefit the Emergency Cold Weather Shelter, and many others responded to the Shelters needs by donating their work prior to the event.As a result, the Coasts yarn people have more than fulfilled the Shelters request for toques (50 in all), knit-ted gloves and socks. Twen-

ty-five of the requested 40 scarves have been made as well as five of the 30 afghans requested. The Shelter also needs 25 pairs of slippers. To find out how you can help complete this project, check out www.m1tog.ca.Sew Easy in the Trail Bay Mall will continue to receive donations of new, handmade articles for the Shelter. Dona-tions of new and gently used

Knitting for cold weather shelterclothing, blankets, and sleep-ing bags should be made through the Salvation Army Thrift Store; St. Hildas Angli-can Church, where the Shel-ter is located, does not have the facilities to accept these articles. Cash donations can be made through the Sun-shine Coast Community Ser-vices Society. Submitted

Education Matters

Betty Baxter Chair,School District #46School Board

The Board of Education of SD46 (Sunshine Coast) was delighted to have stu-dent trustee Wyatt Henley sworn in on Oct. 13 at our regular board meeting. Wyatt becomes our third student trustee and reinforces for all of our community just how much we value having a rep-resentative student voice at the table.Although a student trustee has been piloted in Vancouver and several districts around the province have students on committees, the Sunshine Coast is unique in its commit-ment via regulation and pro-

fessional development events to increasing the profile and impact of students by having a student at our board table. Each student trustee serves from October to June and must be a student in grade 12.Student trustee Henley is selected by the District Stu-dent Leadership Team, which consists of a grade 11 and 12 representative from each of our four secondary schools. This team meets every 4 6 weeks with Superintendent Bocking to discuss student concerns, plan for change and give feedback on Dis-trict initiatives. They have had strong input to our new strategic plan and have initi-ated change in some of their schools in the past two years.Districts around the prov-ince have requested feedback on our student leadership

model and particularly on the impact of having a student trustee on the Board. We have shared our process broad-ly. In Ontario, the province mandates that each Board of Education must have at least one student trustee. In our experience there is no down side. The students learn about governance process and gain an understanding of the broader issues in edu-cation. The adults gain valu-able information about how educational decisions impact students and what are the pressing concerns for young people.

We are proud to have stu-dents contribute to our dis-cussions and our community can be proud about how well our student trustees repre-sent us to the province and beyond.

Comedians Dustin Hollings (Chapleau Cree First Nation) and Colin Bird, who goes by the stage name 'Chuck Cease' (Mistawasis First Nation) are two Native comedians known as 'The Banned Council'. After numerous shows in the Van-

couver area, they are hitting the road and will appear in Sechelt Nov. 15. Joining them as their special guest MC is Native comedian Brian Ma-jore, aka The Bloody Savage.'Chuck Cease' is actually a Cree word for a part of the

Banned Council looking for laughsmale anatomy. When Colin Bird was younger, he was frequently stopped by the police; when asked his name, this was the name he pro-vided, which caused a chuckle among his friends. Colin is known as the 'Eddie Murphy of Native comedy' and prom-ises an upbeat, in-your-face style of Native comedy.Dustin Hollings describes his style as 'halfbreed hu-mour' because as a half-Ab-original, full Status Indian, he gets to see the funny from both sides. He has written for 'Derek Miller's Guilt-Free Zone' on APTN, and has opened for A Tribe Called Red, and recently performed at the Aboriginal Pavilion at the Pan-Am Games in Toronto 2015.Brian Majore has toured with the Rez Jesters. His com-

edy has been described as edgy, intelligent, and racially-charged. As poet Janet Rog-ers says, Brian "delivers the truth without apology." He has performed all across Can-ada at conferences, corporate events, comedy clubs and dive bars. His debut live stand-up comedy CD, 'The Bloody Savage' is available now on iTunes.The name of the tour is the 'Banned Council Bingo Hall Tour' because every Rez

(Indian reserve) has a Bingo hall. And we originally had booked Bingo halls as venues, but for one reason or another, they were unavailable, but we liked the name so we kept it.The Sechelt show will be on Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Sechelt Band Hall (behind Macdon-alds) at 8pm.Tickets available at Big Mac's Convenience, Sechelt.Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

The Sunshine Coast Mu-seum & Archives needs your help planning for a better future by participating in its strategic planning process. Over the past five years, the Museum has launched many innovative and exciting proj-ects including Kwekwinmut - Pieces of the Past, a collab-orative exhibit with the Squa-mish Nation that showcases stone tool artifacts from the region. The Museum was also recently awarded na-tional and provincial heritage awards for Time Travel Sun-shine Coast, a mobile heritage walking tour that features lo-cal actors in historical videos. We are now hard at work on an accessibility project which will renovate the main floor of the Museum to make it more accessible for individuals with mobility challenges.

As the Museum continues to evolve, we are embarking on a strategic planning pro-cess to help guide the prog-ress. The Museum society needs to know that they are best serving the needs of the public. Everyone is invited to participate by submit-ting feedback, suggestions or ideas for improving the de-livery of Museum services to the community. What do you love about the Museum? How do you think the Museum can improve its services? Submit your feedback by writing, emailing, tweeting, or visiting the Museum in person. Participants can also fill out the Museums strategic planning survey that is avail-able on the Museums website and Facebook page. All par-ticipants will be entered in a draw for a chance to win a $100 gift shop prize pack that includes historical books, gift cards, and locally crafted arti-san products.

Residents of the Sunshine Coast who are looking for a family doctor and primary health care support have some options to get started. The Sunshine Coast Divi-sion of Family Practice has been working with partners including Vancouver Coastal Health to help patients who want a family doctor to get one, and to link patients with other important health and social supports as well as in-formation in the area. Residents who want to find a family doctor can start the process at the Divisions Attachment Assessment Clinic. At the appointment, a nurse takes the individuals medical history and assesses current health conditions in general, but does not provide treatment. After the appoint-ment, some patients may be referred to a family doctor who is taking patients; or if there are no openings avail-able at the time, patients are placed on a list and matched with a doctor when space opens up. It is important to note that the Attachment Assessment Clinic is not an emergency service or a walk-in clinic. Since April of this year, the Divisions Attachment As-sessment Clinic in Gibsons and Sechelt have helped more than 85 people with complex health care needs and 78 other patients get a regular family physician. To support people who are having difficulty finding their way around the health care system, a social worker, Cayce Laviolette, is providing Patient Navigator services until the end of March 2016. Cayce travels between GPs offices and other locations to help patients coordinate follow-up care and connect with community and health-related services to support their medical and social needs. He also helps patients

find assistance for daily liv-ing, complete documents, get transportation, and arranges family meetings. Patients can make an ap-pointment themselves or ask for a referral to the Patient Navigator from a doctor. Since the program started in April of 2015, the Patient Navigator has helped more than 152 patients - 137 of them with complex health care issues - get connected with various health supports, and has helped 18 of them get a family doctor. Cayce reports that signifi-cant progress has been made for people who in the past

have had a great deal of diffi-culty getting their health and social needs met due to the complexities of support sys-tems, and are now benefit-ting from his assistance.The Division is partner-

Helping you ind a doctor

ing with Vancouver Coastal Health on the Attachment Assessment Clinic and has received funding for the projects from A GP for Me, a provincial initiative of the Government of BC and doc-tors of BC.The Sunshine Coast Divi-sion of Family Practice is a community-based group of physicians that work col-laboratively with Vancouver Coastal Health and other partners to strengthen local primary care.Patients can make appoint-ments as follows:Assessment and Attach-ment Clinic (operating: Oct.1- Nov. 30 and Jan. 11-28, 2016) call: 604-885-8644 between 8:30am and 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Appointments are sched-uled for Mondays and Fridays at Sechelt Home and Commu-

nity Care Office at 5630 Inlet Avenue, and Gibsons Health Unit at 494 South Fletcher Road. A health care card is needed.To contact the Patient Navigator, call Cayce Lavio-lette at 604-741-3180 or e-mail [email protected]. Services are provided from 8am-4pm Monday-Friday.A website called FETCH provides information about health services in the area, as well as tips on how to further wellness, at sc.fetchbc.caSubmitted
