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.

Editorial 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 week’s paper. Generally, letters should not exceed 300 words. And all letters must be signed, include the writer’s community of residence and (not for publication) telephone number. Letters may be edited for a variety of reasons.

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 Dave’s 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

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-Jones—twice elected councillor in West Vancouver, then twice elected mayor—made it five for five in ousting incumbent Conser-vative John Weston, helping complete Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s 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-ty’s Ken Melamed, who drew
about nine per cent. The Mari-juana Party’s 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 Trudeau’s 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, that’s 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 Columbia’s 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 didn’t retire until age 80 and wrote about his long life in a colloquial, unvarnished style, White’s trademark was his self-dep-recating humour.
Frank White dies at 101“I’d got used to thinking
my life hadn’t amounted to much,” he wrote, “and it seemed most people agreed with me on that. Now it’s, ‘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 father’s 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 couldn’t get the hang of the horseless carriage so young Frankie taught himself to operate it, lying about his age to get his driver’s 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, they’re not satisfied unless I can tell them the meaning of life.”
On that score he wasn’t
venturing any great pro-nouncements. “Life is life. It’s not under our control and it doesn’t 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.

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 Shelter’s needs by donating their work prior to the event.
As a result, the Coast’s yarn people have more than fulfilled the Shelter’s 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.

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. Submitted

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 Museum’s strategic planning survey that is avail-able on the Museum’s 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 Division’s Attachment Assessment Clinic. At the appointment, a nurse takes the individual’s 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 Division’s 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-

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.

As the cooler, wetter weather is upon us, the li-brary is the perfect place to get inspiration and resources for making the most of life from the cozy indoors. Com-ing in from the cold to try a new recipe is a great way to nurture your soul. Our collec-tion of cookbooks is diverse and a feast for the senses. Let Jamie Oliver or Canadian Living be your guide if you are new to the kitchen, or for the seasoned chefs there are countless cuisines to try: from Asian Fusion to Authen-tic Mexican. On Saturday, Nov. 7 at 1:30pm, author Michelle Catherine Nelson will read from, and provide a demonstration from her new book The Urban Homestead-
ing Cookbook: Forage, Farm, Ferment and Feast for a bet-ter world.
There is also an array of baking books for the spe-cial occasion cake, artisanal breads or yummy muffins to enjoy with coffee on a rainy morning. The beautiful pho-tos and tactical pleasure of reading a cookbook can be addictive; before you know you it you will be a connais-seur of different techniques.
In addition to exploring the world through cuisine, our travel collection will al-low you to explore the world from your sofa. Travel guides and DVD’s are a fun way to think about your next trip, or to learn about another re-gion. Our collection of DVDs is now very extensive and in-cludes TV series, classic and new movies, and documenta-ries: a great way to have free entertainment.
Our weekly ongoing pro-
grams at the library include Spanish, French, and Japa-nese Conversation groups, Knitting for Everyone, and Scrabble. Our Wednesday evening programming in-cludes our monthly GDPL Book Club. On Wed. Oct. 28 at 6pm is Women’s Voices: Public Speaking Skills with Katherine Scott, and on Wed. Nov. 18 at 6pm is a Travel Slideshow of Ecuador.

The community of Rob-erts Creek is getting into the Halloween spirit this year in grand style. On Sat., Oct. 31 the Roberts Creek Com-munity Association is host-ing an all coast Zombie Walk and a Graveyard Decorating Contest with an emphasis on community fun.
The Zombie Walk festivi-ties start at 1:30pm with a makeup tutorial at the Man-dela. Optional registration for
souvenirs and prizes starts at 2:30, and the walk formally kicks off at 3pm. The walk is an unstructured 45-minute amble through Roberts Creek ending up at the Gazebo be-hind the library for prizes.
"The walk will be the most visible part of our cel-ebrations," says Ian Thomas, event organizer, "but I think the most exciting is the Graveyard Decoration Con-test - here is where the cre-
Creepy in the ‘Creekative in our community can take a six-foot by three-foot plot and turn it into some-thing spooky."
The contest space is on the lawn in front of the Gumboot Restaurant. Deco-rating a grave site requires pre-registration at www.RobertsCreekCommunity.ca. Prizes and bragging rights will be awarded just after sunset on Halloween.

A new display of paint-ings and prints has been in-stalled at the Sechelt Public Library. Adorning the walls from now until January 2016 are paintings by local art-ist Sheila Page (Davis Bay), and prints by artist Kathryn Neun (Powell River).
Sheila Page, a retired el-ementary school teacher, has spent the last 10 years tak-ing a number of art classes and workshops at Emily Carr University of Art & Design, Capilano University, and the Gibsons School of the Arts. Her paintings on display at the Library are from a series she calls “A Closer Look” – works that explore the beach scenes familiar to anyone liv-ing on the Coast.
“In this series of paintings I wanted to draw attention to the importance and com-plexity of the natural world beneath our feet. The hum-ble natural objects on the beach have been shaped by the waves and weather into arrangements that reflect
the power of their environ-ment,” says Page.
Complimenting Page’s paintings are a series of ethe-real prints by artist Kathryn Neun. Neun completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at York University in 1981, and since that time she has exhibited her prints in a number of group and solo exhibitions in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia,
New art in the libraryand BC.
Most of Neun’s prints are collagraphs – a type of print created by collaging a variety of materials directly onto the printing plate.
All of the artwork can be viewed during regular Li-brary hours and is available for purchase directly from the artists.

HARPER, BettyNov. 29, 1931 – Oct. 2, 2015
Elizabeth (Betty) O’Hara Dunlop Harper, my mother, was feisty, had a great sense of humour, and was brave enough to leave family and country behind with a young husband and three young daugh-ters. Few people intimidated her so she spoke her mind to all and would give you her last dollar if you needed it. She wished for no service but please feel free to donate to a local cause in lieu of flowers. Betty was predeceased by her husband John Harper October 24, 1995.
The legacy of love she leaves behind is in the names that follow: Annette Hooks, grandchildren Paul & Kellly, great grandchildren Taegan, Amy, Charlie, Gemma and Bobby. Marion Trafford, granddaughter Monique, great granddaughter Summer. Joan Disney, granddaughters Sara & Twyla, great grandson’s Kayen & Jaxton. Alex Harper, granddaughters Jade & Isabell.
A little under five feet tall she was a force to be reckoned with. She loved to sing and dance. Her years as a union steward in Toronto meant the same beautifully lilting singing voice could have the force of a prize fighter behind it. She spent the last few years in Christenson Village in Gibsons. Her constant need for oxygen kept her mostly housebound but she retained her humour and feistiness till the end. She was sur-rounded by love and family as she gently gave birth to her soul. There is a giant hole where this tiny woman once was, she is already greatly missed.
ROY, Helen OliveJuly 10, 1919 – October 14, 2015
Helen Olive Roy, known as Helen, passed away peace-fully on October 14, 2015 at Christenson Village in Gib-sons. She was ninety-six and had been predeceased in 2013 by her husband of sixty-nine years, Doug Roy. The family invites you to a gathering to honour Helen on Saturday, October 24, 2015 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Legion Hall in Roberts Creek. There will be a brief ceremony of remembrance at 2:00 followed by stories and mingling.Helen was born in Melita, Manitoba to Mary and William Heath on July 10, 1919. She left Melita in 1938 to study at United College, now the University of Winnipeg. She went on to the University of Manitoba and was awarded her Bachelor of Social Work degree as a member of its first graduating class. While living in Winnipeg, she met Doug Roy who she married in 1943. She started her career as a social worker in Winnipeg 1942.Helen and Doug lived in Ottawa, Port Arthur and Vic-toria before settling in the lower mainland in the mid 1950’s. They maintained a presence on the Sunshine Coast and in Vancouver until they moved to Roberts Creek permanently in 1975. During those years, she continued her career in the Vancouver area. In 1976, she joined the Ministry of Human Resources on the Sunshine Coast where she worked until 1984. As well as having a busy professional life, Helen had many interest. On taking up permanent residence on the Coast in 1975, she and Doug welcomed many com-munity members into their home. Guests would meet Helen’s champion Kerry Blue terriers the minute the front door opened. Many friends admired Helen’s feisty commitment to her interests. She was an active sup-porter of the development of Cliff Gilker Park, Sunshine Coast Community Services, Sunshine Coast Raging Grannies, the Parent Tot Centre and the Nation of Rob-erts Creek. At the same time, she founded the West-ern Canada Kerry Blue Terrier Club and bred champion kerries.The Grannies were a perfect outlet for Helen’s life long interest in social activism in the areas of human rights, peace and the environment. As a participant in the arts, Helen loved singing and performing with Nikki Weber and Jackie Allen as the Hot Potatoes. She lent her sup-port to many arts groups on the Coast.Helen is survived by her daughter Susan (Jacob Stoller), grandsons Mark, Jonathan and Benjamin Stoller and her son Peter. Heartfelt thanks go to the caregivers, staff and friends who cared for her at Christenson Village. Thanks as well to the Heath/Roy/Appenheimer nieces and neph-ews for their love and attention over the past few years. A very special thanks to the Treat/Bulmer and Peers/Helenius Clans for their on-going love and support. Helen’s was a long life, well lived.

tober adds to be a 9 Month. This indicates endings, completions and gradua-tions for us all. A feeling of limbo hangs in the air yet a renewed feeling of initiative will become more evident on November.
Scorpio time begins on October 23rd at at 10:47 am PDT. This is the 12th seg-ment of the year when the days become very noticeably shorter here in the Norther Hemisphere, the air temper-ature becomes significantly colder and leaves fall from trees faster than they have up until this point in the year.
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto and both planets in Earth Element signs, Virgo and Capricorn respectively, suggests that an extra em-phasis on practicality and productivity. Venus and Jupi-ter are also in Virgo adding to this theme. The Moon waxes to full on October 27th.Aries (Mar 21–Apr 20)
You remain extra busy and on a variety of levels both within and without. You are challenged to give more than usual and in the face of lingering worries
and doubts. Fortunately, your resolve and capacity to make the extra efforts is active. This overall tone will continue for another few weeks anyway so be patient and find reason to be happy and grateful along the way.Taurus (Apr 20–May 21)
A process of deep change continues to unfold in your life. It may feel like you have entered some kind of metamorphosis chamber. The good news is this par-allels the caterpillar enter-ing the cocoon to emerge transformed as a butterfly. The sobering part is that it will take about 30 months! There are ever other cycles at play and it might help to learn more about them.Gemini (May 21–Jun 21)
Scorpio time is one of heal-ing for you. Your focus will ideally include preparing for winter which includes build-ing your immune system. There is reason to say you have come through a lot over the past few years and there-fore focusing to restore your center and fortify your con-stitution is extra wise now. Whether physically, mental-ly or emotionally, build your strengths.Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)
A busy time continues. You may feel stretched and tired as a consequence. Yet, you also feel determined to get things done. This has been true close to home but now the focus turns to more
playful and social activities. Yet, at deeper levels the im-pulse to gain new knowl-edge and perhaps increase your skills is steadily rising. This will increase over the coming weeks.Leo (Jul 22–Aug 23)
Your sights are set on making key improvements to increase returns. You have come to an important juncture that requires that you strengthen your over-all foundation. While this includes your overall level of health, it also points to fi-nancial considerations. You may also want to direct this focus on improvement to your home. There is no rush to finish but get going now.Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)
You have entered an ex-pansive cycle in your life. Inspirations and perhaps challenging circumstances as well are requiring new strategies and approaches. The theme will increase over the coming weeks. This is a call to break through old patterns. You may well need the assistance of others and the good news is that you will get it if you make the ef-fort to engage their talents and resources.Libra (Sep 22–Oct 22)
Over the past few weeks it is likely that key events occurred that are serving to change your overall per-spective. Much is stirring within as well. In some re-spects this includes inner

work to overcome subcon-scious fears and doubts. A rather steep learning curve is also implied. The good news is that you are ready to increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons.Scorpio (Oct 22–Nov 21)
You are in a revolution-ary mood. Entertaining new strategies and philosophies too is implied. Yet in order to advance you must be willing to invest. This could imply time and energy at least as much as actual money, but probably all of the above. As long as the venture appears solid and worthwhile you will proceed happily. But do a double take on the fine print just to be sure.Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21)
You are in the process of presenting a new you to the world. You are still early in this momentum so it may
feel a bit awkward at first. However, you are deter-mined to do whatever it takes. This is an adventur-ous and expansive time gen-erally. With your sights set on the long-term this focus requires sober and calcu-lated risk.Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19)
You are in a philosophi-cal and expansive mood. Thoughts, reflections and questions about the deeper meaning of life and or larg-er realities in the world are running through your mind. Closer to home, you are de-termined to persevere and push through any obstacles. Family comes first in your mind and you are and have been extra focused to make every effort to succeed.Aquarius (Jan 19–Feb 19)
A busy time clearing away the old to make way for the
new continues. Cleaning corners and closets is likely. This may also include old attitudes, perceptions and lifestyle patterns as much as actual stuff. But now you are ready to socialize more. Cul-tural events and communal gatherings are gaining your attention again. Strike a bal-ance for best results.Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)
Shifts and changes on re-lationship fronts are under-way. This generally implies expansion but you have to be willing to make the extra effort. These efforts include taking full responsibility for the quality or lack thereof in your relationships. It is important that you make every effort to make im-provements in your social outreach.

Between October 10 and 12, a thief gained entry to a residence in the 400 block King Road, Gibsons, through an unsecured rear door, and stole a number of items in-cluding a blue Fender Stra-tocaster electric guitar in a worn hard black case, guitar strings, cash, alcohol, pre-scription medication, and a wooden hand carved box. Anyone with any informa-tion about this theft is asked to contact RCMP, reference file 15-7243.IMPAIRED DRIVERS
Late on October 14, po-lice observed a vehicle trav-elling without its running lights westbound on South Fletcher Road, Gibsons. Po-lice pulled over the vehicle and noted the driver was ex-hibiting signs of impairment. The driver, who admitted consuming alcohol earlier, was given and failed a road-side alcohol screening test. The driver had two previous alcohol-related driving of-fences, and was taken to the Sechelt RCMP detachment for a criminal code impaired investigation.
Around 9:30 pm on Octo-ber 15, a possible impaired driver was reported travel-ling slowly and crossing the centre line into on-coming traffic on Wharf Road in
Sechelt. Police located the suspect vehicle and spoke with the driver who admit-ted consuming alcohol and exhibited signs of intoxica-tion. As the female driver failed to provide a breath sample and also had a prior record of impaired driving, her vehicle was impounded and police are recommend-ing criminal charges against her.
Shortly before 11 pm on October 15, police wit-nessed a vehicle northbound on Highway 101 that was weaving badly in its lane. Police initiated a traffic stop and spoke with the lone oc-cupant and driver who ad-vised she'd consumed alco-hol a short time prior. The driver was given and failed two roadside alcohol screen-ing tests. As the driver had no previous impaired driv-ing history, the driver was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and her vehicle was impounded for thirty days.
On October 19, police witnessed a vehicle speed-ing along Marine Drive near Harvey Road, Gibsons. Po-lice initiated a traffic stop and spoke with the driver,

Anyone with any information about this theft is asked to con-tact RCMP, reference file 15-7267.
On October 15, a shop-lifter was caught at a busi-ness in the 900 block of Gib-sons Way, Gibsons, after staff witnessed the suspect put-ting an item in his backpack without paying for it.
