And he’s counting on pedal power to make it happen.

In December, Chris Hergesheimer and his brother Josh will travel from Roberts Creek to the northernmost reaches of

South Sudan, where their friend William Kolong, chief of Panlang village, will be waiting with open arms. � e three of them will construct a bicycle-mill that can be used by anyone from

the community – a mill like the one Hergesheimer has had around on the Coast for years.

Peddler Continued from page 1

The goal of the Flour Peddler is to provide a chance for people to locally mill their own � our – to take back control of the produc-tion and processing of their food.

cut 232 words

Hergesheimer’s bike-mill is an old exercise machine that’s been rigged up to a cast iron mill. � e ped-als turn a belt that turns a � ywheel, which turns the burrs, and voila; freshly-ground � our. A simple de-sign, Hergesheimer says, but a powerful one.

“I started the Flour Peddler to o� er people the experience of buy-ing freshly-milled � our from grains grown in BC,” Hergesheimer explains. “People just gravitated to-wards it, and I realized that for a lot of people it was also about interacting with the producer of their food.”

Soon Hergesheimer was pedaling his bike-mill at farmers markets through-out Greater Vancouver. But after several years, Hergesheimer found that juggling a small business with a growing family and postgraduate studies was overwhelming. Rather than sell the business, he and his brother devised a plan by which the Flour Peddler would continue to mill, bag and sell � our once a month for a home delivery program and write a book about the business. But instead of sharing the proceeds, the brothers will

use 100 percent of the pro� ts to fund their trip to South Sudan to build the bike mill.

South Sudan was the ob-vious choice, Hergesheimer explains, given the connec-tion the brothers have with Chief William Kolong who they had helped when he came to Canada in 1995 as a refugee as one of the legendary Lost Boys – the name given to tens of thou-sands of children who � ed � ghting during Sudan’s 22 year-long civil war.

One day, Hergesheimer says, he asked Kolong if a bike-mill a la � e Flour Peddler would help his community, giving them a chance to mill their own grains, and work together to create a cooperative business. Kolong answered: “my brother, if you prom-ise to come to my village

someday, I promise we will make it happen.”

Now, we’re placing our trust in him – that he will be able to help make this dream come to fruition.

“We’re selling this � our so we can do something we believe in – something that could make a tangible dif-ference and put the Flour Peddler technology where it can really matter,” con� rms Hergesheimer. “To me, that’s the most ethical form of capitalism out there.”

� e two brother’s have a Indiegogo webpage where you can contribute towards on-the-ground expenses like welding, labour, etc. for their trip to Sudan. Vis-it here to make a donation: (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-flour-peddler-international). � e brothers have already raised well over half their

projected goal from the crowd-funding angle and are getting excited about helping Chief Kolong and his community.

By pedalling the bike mill the rider turns the belt that turns a � ywheel, which turns the burrs and cre-ates the freshly-ground � our. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Lacrosse has quickly grown on the Sunshine Coast over the last few years and there is one rea-son for that: it’s so much fun.

The Sunshine Coast Rapids Peewee team (ages 9 to 12 years old) under the leadership of Coach Jason Pratt and Assistant Coach Brian Horback en-joyed a great season and ended the year in third

place out of twelve teams in the Lower Mainland division.

The Rapids qualified for the Provincials, held in Kamloops, by defeat-ing a team from Mission. At Kamloops 30 teams from across the province, many of them boasting a 15-player lineup, battled for the top spot. With only ten players, the Rap-ids came out strong and won their pool against teams from Vanderhoof, Saanich and Kamloops.

Playing with determina-tion, skill and heart the team made it to the semi-finals - a first for any Sun-shine Coast lacrosse team.

The team became like an extended family dur-ing the season. Although somwe of the players were new to lacrosse this year, the more experienced kids helped the younger ones learn. All the team fami-lies became good friends, enjoyed the competitions and time spent together at the Provincials.


Editorial Opinion

Volume 11 • Issue 29

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

Cycling culture just keeps picking up speed

Whether you are a hard core downhill rider or simply en-joy a light Sunday afternoon pedal through the park, biking offers people of all ages the opportunity to lead a healthier and more sustainable life. What most people don’t realize is it’s also a powerful economic force that drives millions of dollars into our province each year.

Back in 1981 when three young riders opened the doors to Deep Cove Bikes (now Cove Bikes) on the side of Mount Seymour, they didn’t realize they were spearheading a move-ment that would position BC as a hotbed for mountain biking. These kids were great riders from day one, but they also saw the economic benefits of importing innovative bike parts from the birthplace of mountain biking, Marin County California. They would then assemble new bikes from the imported parts, whcih they would sell out of their little shop.

Deep Cove was a hub for action as it neighboured the now famous North Shore trails. Huge ‘bicycle’ street parties were held and this catalysed mountain bike culture to main-stream status across Vancouver in the mid eighties. Quickly other larger companies caught on to the buzz and the rest was history.

Because this industry is still growing and has a direct effect on tourism and our local bottom line, it’s impor-tant for Coast residents to understand the different types of riding styles.

Of course there is the road bike, which resembles the old 10-speed but with thin tires and super light-weight frames. These are the bicycles that riders use when racing in compe-titions like the Tour De France. Then there are the touring bikes which are a bit closer to the modern day mountain bike but without the suspension or shocks. These are great for those long rides where you are not sure what conditions you might face. These riders are often seen cycling up the Coast with large saddlebags on either side of the bicycle.

As far as mountain biking goes, there are basically two main schools of riders and then several unique offshoots. Most popular is cross country cycling. It garners the highest levels of participation both recreationally and competitively. The BC Bike Race that just passed through the Sunshine Coast is an example of a cross country race. It attracted 1,000 cyclists from about 30 different countries.

The other most popular style is downhill. These are the hardcore cyclists that typically wear full body armour and scream down mountains on full suspension bikes. These bikes are great for going downhill, but much are much too heavy to ride back up. Other sub-categories include dirt jumping, free riding, and of course BMX style. All these specialized forms of riding are based on performing dare-devil tricks.

Overall the Sunshine Coast has done well embracing the biking community. We can do more. We need to create a safe bike path from Gibsons to Sechelt some day soon. Some advances have been made by cycling enthusiasts - look to-wards the Sprockids Park in Langdale, the new pump track in Sechelt, and the hundreds of incredible trails all main-tained by volunteers.

There are even some new plans being thrown around Gibsons to build a larger and more diversified bike park This will help provide yet a greater foundation to help make the Coast an even greater hotbed for cycling.

Let’s hope that we keep rolling in this direction for the sake of our economy and our health. See you on the trails. Jim Dorey, Editor

The view from here What is a view? It’s more

than the pretty picture you see out the window. It is air, light in day and night, the firmament, space, privacy. Google “Bubier Road House tear down” and find some insight into what a by-law can and can’t do. I represent-ed Mr. Johnson’s neighbours; in 1993 (yes, 1993) we initi-ated a lawsuit in Massachu-setts Land Court against his plan to build a house in front of my client’s house on a lot that was illegal because of insufficient lot width accord-ing to the by-law. That was years before he applied for a building permit. It took 19 years: two trials, six trips to the Massachusetts Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court, endless mo-tion hearings, views of the property by two judges, retirement of three judges, and a contempt proceeding overseen by a fourth judge, to bring down the illegal house. And we won in ev-ery substantive proceeding, trial, motion, appeal. There are real questions about the legitimacy of by-laws which simply address views, but by-laws which establish building height limitations, restrict density, create view corridors go a long way. And there is demonstrated success, at least in the US, for by-laws which deal with the attributes of properties on slopes, overlooking wa-ter bodies, and the like. But unless you have the financial capability and stamina to

endure endless nonsense, as my clients did, a by-law is not an absolute answer - it is merely a stepping-off point. Though it should be instruc-tional to people who respect their neighbours and, frank-ly, demonstrate the manners customary among civilized people. There are other ways to protect views, particularly in the context of subdivision and compromise of actual disputes, through deed re-strictions and easements. The Sunshine Coast is blessed to have many attorneys who can competently advise on all of these issues. Frank L. McElroy,Roberts Creek

Volunteers create this festival

Thank you to Heather Jeal for her thoughtful Sea Cavalcade observations.

Heather, and many oth-ers in the last few days have made useful comments on Gibsons’ summer festival.

In the last 35 years many volunteers including Sue Rhodes and myself have tried hard to create a sum-mer festival that would be uniquely Gibsons’.

We all wanted a weekend that would showcase local talent and ingenuity, give our local businesses an op-portunity to say “thank you” to their community and to highlight the abilities of our loggers and firefighters.

A chance for “kids to be kids” in the way they can only in a small town, with games, races and of course

lots of food, food, food.The thrill of the pipers in

the parade, the heartfelt ap-plause for our Veterans, the wonderful horses, no child should have to miss that.

Everyone wanted to high-light our community’s his-torical connection to the sea and the woods and for that reason “The Boat Blowup”, Loggers Sports, Tugboat Races, Keats Island Swim and Kids Fishing Derby fol-lowed by a day for the kids and our beloved fireworks – maybe not the awe inspiring display of Vancouver, but ours, to be enjoyed sitting on the grass with our neigh-bours and families.

Everyone dragged them-selves to organizing meet-ings, we divvied up the work, shared tasks, dra-gooned new folks in to help and generally had a great time. We also sold raffle tickets, thousands of raffle tickets and with a small help from the Town we had a Cavalcade within budget.

In latter years something has changed. The spirit is there but not the same. That’s too bad.

Maybe it’s time to sit down together after July and have a long look at our beloved Sea Cavalcade and just what we would like it to

be. I’ll be there. Jo-Anne McNevin, Gibsons

So grateful for The Local newspaper

Last week I was totally surprised to find out that I had won The Local’s ‘Let-ter to the editor’ contest. I had submitted a letter to express my views on an is-sue that I felt deeply needed more explanation, and it was printed. As it turns out, and I don’t know how many people know this, but The Local has a contest where they give away a free round of golf for two with a cart. This contest runs each month this summer so if you have something you’d like to talk about, get your letters in, people. My father will be visiting and I look forward to taking him out for a round of golf. It will be a great opportunity for us to bond and have a few laughs. I’d also like to say that I have noticed a big difference in The Local newspaper over the past few months. The new look, quality of the content and pictures, and the new website all rock. Oh yeah, I look forward to checking out the event list-ings too. Thanks so much.Jamie Swann, Roberts Creek

Biologist, environmental-ist and MP Robert Sopuck (Dauphin - Swan River - Marquette) accepted the invitation of local MP John Weston to visit the riding July 9, where he was greatly impressed by the impact of local volunteer organiza-tions, such as the Pacific Salmon Foundation and Weston’s Sea to Sky Fisher-ies Roundtable, on improv-ing local fish habitat.

The Roundtable is a group of avid fisheries ex-perts and advocates, who work closely with Weston. Sopuck, a member of both the Fisheries and Environ-ment Committees of the House of Commons, met with both groups and heard from fisheries and environ-ment advocates, such as Ruth Simons, Executive Director of the Future of Howe Sound Society, and a representative of the Sun-shine Coast.

“As a member of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, fish-eries biologist, passionate angler, and a fisheries con-servationist, I was struck by the dedication, creativity, and passion of the angling groups that we met with in British Columbia,” said So-puck, who also thanked his host for “showing me these wonderful experiences and

Fisheries advocates tackle Sunshine Coast and National initiatives

meeting these truly dedi-cated people.”

The two MP’s were direct-ly involved fisheries-friendly items that were adopted by Federal Budget 2013. First there was a threefold in-crease in funding for the Pa-cific Salmon Foundation of $1 million. Secondly, there was the creation of the Rec-reational Habitat Partner-ship Program, spearheaded by Sopuck and supported

by Weston, which provides $10 million across Canada to groups like Weston’s fish-eries advocacy group.

The Roundtable Group’s Dave Brown submitted an application for Federal sup-port under the Partnership Program, to improve fisher-ies habitat in the riding.

“John Weston is some-body that gets the impor-tance of volunteers and community in terms of in-suring a sustainable future for our Pacific Salmon.” said Mike Meneer, Vice President for Development, Marketing and Communi-cations for the Pacific Salm-on Foundation. “Our abili-ty to successfully engage the government on wild pacific conservation was greatly enhanced by Weston’s lead-ership, involvement, and direction as he has been a vocal and actively support-ing of our proposal of hav-ing 100 percent of salmon conservation stamp revenue returned to the commu-nity and volunteers group that can make the most of it like the West Vancouver Streamkeepers Society.”

“The Future of Howe Sound Society is really sup-portive of this meeting and being able to meet with people with common inter-ests is a step in the right di-rection for MP Weston and his fisheries group,” added Simons, who had recently coordinated the flotilla of boaters who took to Howe Sound to advance a long-term plan for the area.

At its meeting with So-puck, the Roundtable

Group tackled an ambitious agenda, which included discussion of the creation of a centre of excellence on closed-containment salmon aquaculture, a proposal made recently by the Fish-eries Committee, and sup-ported enthusiastically by Sopuck and Weston. Powell River is looking closely at that idea, with interest by the Mayor and Council and the Sliammon First Nation to take up the suggestion.

“I’m very impressed to see two MP’s with passion and openness in explaining the government’s decisions go-ing forward in the fisheries” added Bill Vernon, who at-tended the meeting, repre-senting David Formosa, the Mayor of Powell River.

“The visit of my colleague Bob Sopuck highlights the way in which Green Tories like us can achieve practical, measurable results for fish-eries and the environment, but only if we listen to our constituents and work closely with the passionate advocates, like Streamkeep-ers and the Pacific Salmon Foundation,” Weston said.Submitted

Beekeepers give the buzz at honey harvest

British Columbia’s Chief Electoral Officer, Keith Archer, has granted ap-proval in principle on an initiative petition applica-tion by Dana Larsen. This gives him the rights to press ahead with a petition that, if successful, would force the provincial government to address the question of marijuana reform.

The petition will be is-sued on Monday, Septem-ber 9, 2013. The title of the initiative is An initiative to amend the Police Act.

“This initiative petition application is the ninth to be approved since the leg-islation came into force in 1995,” says Archer.

Any registered voter can apply to have a petition issued to gather support for a legislative proposal. After the petition is is-sued, the proponent will have 90 days to canvass

and collect signatures of at least 10 percent of the registered voters in each of British Columbia’s 85 electoral districts.

“We’ve got a pretty good shot at it, I think, but it’s very challenging,” Larsen said in an interview Wednesday.

Individuals or organiza-tions who intend to op-pose the initiative, conduct initiative advertising, or canvass for signatures must be registered with Elections BC. The deadline for op-ponent application is Mon-day, August 12, 2013.

Registered voters as of September 9, 2013 may sign the petition once for the electoral district in which they are registered.

For more information on the initiative petition, visit the Elections BC website (elections.bc.ca).Submitted

Mike will be the Batch Plant Supervisor and Batch Man for Central Coast’s state-of-the-art facility. Making the bold decision to leave Rempel Bros. Concrete after 25 years of service to relocate his family to the Sunshine Coast was not taken lightly, but Mike was ready for a change and a new challenge.

Mike brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise to the concrete industry on the Sunshine Coast and has been involved in many projects over the years includ-ing the Golden Ears Bridge and, more recently, BC Hydro’s Ruskin Dam project. The team at Central Coast Concrete is thrilled to have Mike producing the highest quality concrete on the Sunshine Coast from their new high-tech batch plant.

Bill, Gina & family welcome Mike Carter to the Sunshine Coast and to Central Coast Concrete’s team!

Concrete goes high-tech

JIM DOREYEDITOR

Due to the latest technology it is now possible to produce better-structured concrete, with consider-ably improved properties compared with those obtained twenty years ago.

Using concrete in residential building has become more and more popular. Beautiful � oors and coun-tertops have become sought after amenities and can increase the value of your property. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Concrete plays an inte-gral role in our society and is the most widely used man-made building mate-rial in the world. Its rise in popularity stems from it being a safe and secure building option that is both sustainable and en-ergy e� cient.

Aggregates, water and cement are the elements that make up concrete. Although manufacturing concrete seems simple, the mixture can take very di-verse forms, depending on the proportion and quality of the cement, but also the mechanical, physical and chemical characteristics of the aggregates used and the technology to produce it to CSA standards.

Today, readymix concrete is manufactured totally on a made-to-measure basis, in highly automated con-crete plants capable of pro-ducing up to 500 di� erent

formulas, each for a speci� c application or requirement. Concrete can be incorpo-rated into everything from high-rises to civil engineer-ing structures. For each application, the concrete chosen presents di� erent characteristics in terms of setting time, resistance, weight, aspect, sound insu-lation, frost or thaw resis-tance, or � re resistance.

Recent research into ce-ment, aggregates and con-crete has led to develop-ment of an approach based on scienti� c understanding to produce better-struc-tured concrete, with con-siderably improved proper-ties compared with those of twenty years ago.

It is now possible to con-struct more sustainable buildings along with being easier to use on worksites. � is high-tech product is a concrete advancement on the materials used in the past, and builders can expect improvements to continue as the industry evolves.

Music festivals and live performances enrich the Pender Harbour cultural scene each summer, and 2013 promises particularly rich offerings this season.

The Harbour’s alive with the sound of musicA little bit country, a little

bit rock ‘n’ roll, the High-way 101 Music Festival fills Lions Park with a weekend’s worth of tunes from Coastal and international bands starting Friday, July 19 and running until Sunday, July 21. As with all Coastal fes-tivals, expect onsite food vendors, craft sales, and lots more fun.

Many of Pender Har-bour’s pubs and restaurants feature live entertainment during July and August. How sweet to sit on a deck or patio overlooking some of the most scenic water-ways in the world, sipping a cold beverage, and soaking up the blues. Or some Celt-ic favourites. Or some jazz.

Garden Bay Pub, which boasts the oldest liquor li-cense on the Sunshine Coast (and which required them to officially call themselves a “hotel” even though there are no rooms at this inn)

also boasts a stellar summer-time line-up. Virtually every night, Canada’s top blues-men, jazz virtuosos, and entertainers are on hand to enhance the view from the deck. The Sunday after-noon jam sessions (from 2 to 6pm) feature a rotating roster of Coast favourites. Check www.gardenbaypub.com for the events calendar.

August 11 and 12, the Pender Harbour Garlic Fes-tival adds some bite to the air, and not just from the scent of the produce. Cana-dian superstar Janet Panic, the band Slow ‘n’ White, Dr. Fun and the Painkillers, and the Rakish Angles are just a few of the bands that will provide a mix of mu-sic at Lions Park. Find and “like” this event on Face-book for ongoing updates, as new bands are added and new events too.

Chamber music doesn’t bite, according to organiz-

ers of the Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival, and they stage a free con-cert as part of their week-end-long event to prove it. Internationally-renowned classical musicians perform an eclectic mix at the Pend-er Harbour School of Music in Madeira Park August 15 to 18, and tickets tend to evaporate. For event details, check www.penderharbour-music.ca

The legendary Pender Harbour Jazz Festival winds up the performance season September 20 to 22. Book accommodations early; this weekend pulls in regulars from on and off the Coast to enjoy music and dancing at a variety of venues. Book tickets or reserve seating on-line at www.penderharbour-music.ca.

Plan to make the drive to Pender Harbour this sum-mer, and fill your soul with music and beauty.

cal professional musicians of all musical genres � ll the Landing with beautiful per-formances. All concerts are free of charge and are family friendly events.

� is Friday at 7pm you can enjoy the Keia Papa Kaua traditional Hawai-ian dance troupe. � e lead dancer is Dhyana Bartkow and she describes Hawaiian Hula as a beautiful, gracious dance that inspires feminin-ity with its circular, swaying movements, originally cre-ated to assist in birthing. As a movement form, hula pro-vides gentle weight-bearing exercise that strengthens the bones, loosens the hips, im-proves posture, and creates a sunny disposition.

If you missed Bartkow and Keia Papa Kaua at the Sechelt Night Market, this is a great opportunity to take in their performance.

� e music continues on Saturday and then local mu-sician Mathew Lovegrove hits the stage on Sunday at 12:30pm performing some of his original folk music.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

Initiative Advertising:Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC.

Who May Sign the Petition:Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection.

For More Information:The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

Every year, the BC gov-ernment approves $135 million in gaming grants benefiting over 5,000 local organizations representing virtually every community in the province.

“Organizations helping animals in distress from abuse, neglector injury need to apply for BC gov-ernment community gam-ing grants by August 31” said Coralee Oakes, Com-munity, Sport and Cultural Development Minister.

Last year animal wel-fare organizations shared $754,500 in BC govern-ment community gaming grants. Recipients include humane societies and other groups dedicated to animal rescue and adoption.

Organizations helping specific animals, such as

BC gaming grants support animal care initiatives

dogs, cats, horses, owls, wild birds and marine wild-life also received funding. Services include off-setting veterinary costs for spay and neuter programs, providing permanent refuge for aban-doned animals and rehabili-tation for injured wildlife.

Oakes also said “Ani-mal welfare organizations,

backed by dedicated sup-porters and volunteers in local communities across British Columbia, protect the life, safety and dignity of animals. Year after year, their efforts benefit all kinds of animals, includ-ing family pets and wild-life. This important work touches the hearts of Brit-

ish Columbians. Through community gaming grants, the BC government is a proud supporter of animal welfare activities.”

During 2012 and 201313, the BC govern-ment approved $2,783,566 in community gaming grants for environmental organizations, including animal welfare providers. Grants support the envi-ronment through a range of activities: wildlife preser-vation, grasslands conserva-tion, lake stewardship, river management, fish restora-tion, marine science, inva-sive species councils and public education.

Post-mortem testing, which included an autopsy and toxicological analy-sis, sadly found that Mr. Monteith, aged 31, died of a mixed-drug toxicity in-volving heroin and alcohol.

Mr. Monteith was found deceased in his room at the Fairmont Pa-cific Rim hotel in down-town Vancouve shortly after noon on July 13. He had checked into the hotel on July 6 and had been expected to check out on the 13th. When he had not done so, hotel staff checked his room and found him deceased.

Monteith is being re-membered for his talent, friendly disposition and generosity — with sever-al Vancouver-area chari-ties, including Project Limelight, a drama and performance program for inner city children — saying Monteith’s en-

thusiastic support will be sadly missed.

The investigation into this death by the BC Coroners Service is con-tinuing, and no other details are available at this time. It should be noted that at this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith’s death was anything other than a most-tragic accident. When the investigation is concluded, a Coroners Report will be issued.

Mr. Monteith’s fam-ily has been made aware of the circumstances sur-rounding the death. On behalf of family members, the BC Coroners Service asks that the media respect their privacy at this diffi-cult time.

The BC Coroners Ser-vice expresses its sincere condolences to Mr. Mon-teith’s family and friends.Submitted

BC’s latest month-long gun amnesty found its mark, with 1,801 firearms, 155 other weapons and ap-proximately 30,700 rounds of ammunition turned in for destruction, furthering public safety throughout the province.

The Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said “Regardless of whether a weapon’s history is distinguished, shady or sim-ply unknown, gun amnesty means its future is secure. Ultimately, all of these weap-ons are destroyed. They’re not at risk of being found in a drawer by a child, or of ending up on the street after a break-in. I want to commend police and Brit-ish Columbians for making this latest program a success in furthering public safety throughout our province.”

The goal of the program, which ran through June, was to encourage British Columbians to safely dis-pose of unwanted weapons that might otherwise fall into the hands of criminals, children or others, poten-tially leading to tragic con-sequences. British Colum-bians were encouraged to surrender weapons - ranging from high-powered firearms and crossbows to pellet and replica guns - as well as am-munition, by calling their local police to attend, secure and remove the items.

The latest results show the sustained value of periodic gun amnesty programs. Back-to-back programs in 1997 and 1998 yielded an average of 2,500 firearms and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. In 2006, the number of firearms rose

1,801 guns collected and turned in for destruction Some interesting items were turned in — military missile more than six feet long, turned in by the relative of an individual who reportedly kept it as a souvenir of a tour of duty overseas.

to more than 3,200, plus another 725 u n w a n t e d w e a p o n s , while the num-ber of rounds was relatively stable at 96,500.

As with past campaigns, some interesting items were turned in, including:

• 1,026 rifles, 394 hand-guns and 380 shotguns.

• a machine gun received by Kelowna RCMP.

• historical firearms, in-cluding a Lee-Enfield .303 rifle from World War II.

• bayonets from the 1800s, turned in to Ridge Meadows RCMP.

• a well-publicized mili-tary missile more than six feet long, turned in by the

relative of an individual who reportedly kept it as a souvenir of a tour of duty overseas.

The program, endorsed and announced by the BC Association of Chiefs of Police in February, was led by RCMP E-Division on behalf of the provincial RCMP, with support from BC’s municipal police de-partments. Submitted

Much of the public now recognizes the dangers of overexposure to the sun. Skin cancer ranks as one of the most common forms of cancer across the globe, and individuals are increas-ingly conscientious about protecting their skin from damaging ultraviolet, or UV, rays. Certain natural sources might be able to re-duce the risk of skin cancer.

Leafy vegetablesAustralian researchers

found that eating leafy green vegetables plays an important role in reducing

skin cancer risk as wear-ing protective clothing and sunscreen.

The study, led by Dr. Jo-lieke van der Pols from The Queensland Institute of Medical Research, was con-ducted over 11 years and discovered that participants who consumed at least three servings per week of green vegetables could cut their chances of develop-ing skin cancer by up to 55 percent. It is believed the variety of nutrients found in the vegetables, includ-ing folic acid, vitamin A

Green ways to protect your skin and C, as well as the carot-enoids lutein and zeaxan-thin, work together to fight cancer.

TeaYears ago, researchers

at the University of Min-nesota Hormel Institute tested a solution contain-ing chemicals known as polyphenols. The solution, which was made from ex-tractions from green tea, was tested on live mice that were exposed to UV light. The study found that a protein labeled JNK-2 is directly related to the de-velopment of skin cancer, and this protein could be

blocked by the application of polyphenols. This ap-plication helps reduce the formation of skin tumors. While drinking tea has long been touted as a way to prevent various cancers, this study looks at the way the tea applied topically also can help.

Cover UpApplying a sunscreen is

one of the easiest and more popular ways to protect the skin, but some people wor-ry about the side effects of chemicals used in popular sunscreens.

Covering up the face and skin as much as possible is

one way to reduce exposure to such chemicals. Wear a densely woven hat with a brim that features at least a two- to three-inch over-hang, which can protect the face, neck, ears, eyes, and lips from the sun.

AspirinIn 2013, new informa-

tion was published linking daily aspirin therapy to a decreased risk for melano-ma – the deadliest form of skin cancer.

According to the re-search, data was collected on nearly 60,000 white women ages 50 to 79 years. The women were studied

for 12 years, and the study found that the women who took 81 milligrams of aspi-rin daily had a 21 percent lower risk of developing melanoma than those who did not take aspirin.

AvoidanceThe recommendation

to avoid the peak hours (10am to 4pm) of the sun is still a viable method to preventing skin cancer. Re-main indoors as much as possible during peak hours.

There are a variety of dif-ferent ways to lower your risk of developing skin cancer, many of which are natural

Rapid Edge 1024

Tip of the Week:A powerful line-up of

planetary alignments is the celestial backdrop synchro-nizing with world events now. On July 14, Mars entered Cancer where it traditionally proves to cut, carve and renovate with a sharp edge. On July 17, Ju-piter, Saturn and Neptune formed an exact Grand Trine (each planet exactly 120 degrees apart) in the three Water Signs: Can-cer, Scorpio and Pisces re-spectively. Together these indicate deep change and transformation (Saturn in Scorpio) with mass spiri-tual implications (Neptune in Pisces) activated by huge events and both the source of and the consequence of big and widespread emo-tional sentiments (Jupiter in Cancer).

Next on July 20, the day Mercury in Cancer turns, Mars will take its turn com-pleting the Grand Trine in Water with Saturn and Neptune. Then, on July 22 under the light of the Full Moon in Aquarius on the first day of the Sun’s cycle in Leo, Mars will conjunct Jupiter in Cancer reinforc-ing this Water Grand Trine alignment. Mars will heat things up that much more on July 27 when it forms an exact Opposition to Pluto on the same day that the Moon forms a Con-junction with Uranus and then will actually form a Square to Uranus on July 31, thereby reinforcing the lingering and potent square aspect between Uranus and Pluto.

Thus, Mars will weave the Water Grand Trine with the Uranus/Pluto Square. The manifestation of this weave of dynamic planetary energies stands to be at least a continuation of the social and political hotspots on the planet such as Syria, Egypt and Brazil, and probably an inflation of these and the ignition of others yet. These powerful activations will continue through August and ev-ery month for the rest of the year culminating with Comet Ison which is sched-uled to come into view as early as late November. I will elaborate on the July events next week and bring even more attention to the big August activations in the weeks to come.Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)You are in the mood to

express yourself deeply and in a big way. Rearranging furniture and artifacts to produce a new feel in the atmosphere will contend with outright renovations. Balancing dramatic flair spurred by irrupting intu-ition with a more practical approach will become evi-dent this week. Think twice pay once.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Many creative ideas are flowing strongly now. The planetary alignments are supporting you to tend to a variety of interests, to cover a lot of ground. Produc-ing works of beauty feels important. Your ability to share these with others for profit and/or as an end in themselves is leading you to refine your skills. A com-mitment to originality is moving you to merge your talents with those of others.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Making changes to be healthier is more than just on your mind. What aspect of health, depends on you. It could be physical, mental, emotional, and/or financial and so on. To succeed you may need to outsource, to get tips, guidelines and out-right training. Since health is beautiful and feels so good, let these rewards in-spire you to action.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Making key moves and

initiatives to advance your overall position is driving you onward. Supported by an extra sharp focus, you want to achieve a lot quick-ly. You feel the power and want more of it. This will make you shine brighter and get noticed more over the next several weeks. Aim for an expansion of your whole life. Just be careful of over inflation.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)A good deal of activity

behind the scenes is keeping you busy now. You are in a deep process of facing fears to lay claim to hidden gifts. A steady learning curve is implied and you should al-ready be engaged. You are destined to see a bigger pic-ture and with greater clarity. Be patient and steadfast. The flowers may already be apparent but it may take a year to bear real fruit.Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Taking new leads and

directions is an important theme for you these days. Doing so is directly linked to expanding your network and increasing your expo-sure. Refining your skills and increasing your income is a braided theme. These are activating your creative inventiveness and deepen-ing your overall scope of awareness.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Things are shaking and

you are paying attention and getting noticed. For the sake of love, fam-ily, friendship and perhaps reputation you feel moti-vated to act. With emo-tions running high you feel moved in an unprec-edented way. This is pro-ducing waves of change in your closest relationships. The drama will increase as the Moon waxes to full.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Who are you? This ques-tion is ringing in your mind as you reflect upon yourself and your life, the roads you have travelled, your experiences and re-garding what to do next. A few quick glances back in time are outweighed by future visions. Dreams to be and do bigger and bet-ter than ever are giving you reason to feel excited. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Old priorities, values, atti-tudes and their consequent influence of your choices are all changing now. This pro-cess will take a while yet to unfold, up to two to three years in fact. In the short term, simply clearing and cleaning where and how you can, will feel good. This is a time of ending, comple-tion and closure. Honor this process yet cast a glance at the renewal to follow.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

A big activation of some of your closest relation-ships is center stage now. Choosing your words care-fully is extra important, as is how you express your feelings. Moderation is the golden rule - neither too little nor too much. Meanwhile, your world is opening up and this will contribute to a whole new state of balance.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

You are steadily entering new territory. Whether for financial necessity, profit, new priorities and/or in-terests you are moved to take those important initial steps. These include calcu-lated risks. A change of atti-tude and perspective at least and possibly even a measur-able shift in your overall life-style is implied.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)An exciting creative cycle

has begun for you. Yet, to succeed you will have to give to the situation whole-heartedly; half measures or partial focus will not do. However, do allow for some diversity in your fo-cus. A rather large learn-ing curve process requiring long-term commitment is featured. Be willing to learn from others who can train and guide you.

In our safe community where fresh food is abun-dant we expect children should get all the Vitamins and minerals they need for healthy growth from their daily diet. But picky eaters, allergies, or budget restraints may result in a less-balanced diet and deficiencies, so parents often opt to supple-ment with multi Vitamins.

Each Vitamin plays a spe-cial role in the body’s overall health, and understanding the role they play - and the foods which provide them - may help parents determine what nutrients their children may need. For example: chil-dren who are averse to eating certain foods, such as liver - which is rich in Vitamin A - may be tempted by sweet potatoes instead. Vitamin A helps strengthen both the immune system and eyesight. Foods that provide high levels of Vitamin A include liver, carrots, broccoli, kale, and sweet potatoes.

The B-complex Vitamins are integral in the body’s metabolic process, help-ing create the red blood cells that transport oxygen

The World Health Organization states that Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children and increases the risk of disease and death from severe infections.

Do your children need Vitamin supplements? Jim DoreyEditor

throughout the body. Boost Vitamin B intake with whole grains, fish, poul-try, eggs, and leafy green vegetables. Famous for its ability to help the body fight off disease, Vitamin C also helps strengthen gums and muscles. Citrus fruits are rich sources of Vitamin C; so are broccoli, cabbage, sweet peppers and toma-toes.

A lack of Vitamin D can lead to irritability, muscle cramps, weak bones and teeth problems. You can help boost your child’s Vi-tamin D levels by serving milk fortified with Vita-min D, eggs, fish, or simply

spending more time out-doors, as the body actually manufactures this Vitamin from the sun’s energy.

Vitamin E helps rebuild damaged cells and skin tis-sue. Applying Vitamin E oil to scars or abrasions can speed healing and reduce scarring. Increase your Vi-tamin E levels by eating more vegetable oils, egg yolks, nuts and seeds.

Vitamin K helps blood coagulate and is essential in helping the body heal itself after injury. Leafy green veg-etables - like broccoli and kale, in particular, as well as dairy products, are rich sources of Vitamin K. Al-

though summertime favou-rites like salsa or whole-grain spaghetti with home-made ‘red sauce’ provide a good boost to Vitamins, the in-ternet and local health food stores offer many recipes for interesting child-friendly treats that are easy and eco-nomical to make. Kale chips can become a favourite with the junior set, and a cheesy broccoli-noodle casserole can sneak in some Vitamins along with the sauce. For more information, consult the knowledgeable staff at Coastal health food stores and pharmacies for helpful advice about supplements and nutrition for all ages.

Eating leafy greens and other healthy foods help provide many of the Vitamins children need to grow up healthy. Photo submittEd

Some fats can be beneficial to your health. Unsaturated fats, which include poly-unsaturated and monoun-saturated fats, can improve your cholesterol levels and

promote a healthier heart. Polyunsaturated fats can be found in various foods, in-cluding fish and walnuts. Monounsaturated fats can also be used to make recipes

Promote a healthier heart healthier. For example, when a recipe calls for butter, con-sider substituting that butter with a monounsaturated fat such as olive oil or a poly-unsaturated fat such as sun-flower oil. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, both polyunsatu-rated and monounsaturated fats help reduce “bad” cho-lesterol, also known as low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, while increasing high-den-sity lipoprotein, or HDL, a protective cholesterol often referred to as “good” choles-terol. LDL can build up in the bloodstream and form plaque that lines the walls of the arteries, which can decrease blood flow to the heart and increase a person’s risk of heart disease.

Though saturatedfats can be part of a healthy diet, it’s best to make sure consump-tion of saturated fats is mini-mal. Sources of saturated fat include meat, poultry with skin still attached and whole-milk dairy products. When eating meat, look for lean cuts with no visible fat. When preparing poultry, peel the skin off. And when enjoying dairy products, choose low-fat or nonfat products.
