Editor: We face a dramatic opportunity, Sunshine Coast. We have abundant fresh water available “if” we open our minds. We must consider alternatives to catching rainwater in Chapman Lake. Climate change has arrived.

Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to give heartfelt thanks to the unsung heroes of the SCRD infrastructure department (waterworks).

Editor: Folks whining about our water shortage and suggesting “solutions” like accessing more to use more (Clowhom) or using our aquifers need a serious wake-up call. Aquifers take thousands of years to fill.

Editor: Letter writer Bob Patrick, in last week’s paper, hit the nail on the head when he said, “The SCRD did not get us to Stage 4. We did.” He goes on to further say, “The Coast has a good water plan,” and I agree we do.

Editor: I’ve been traveling through drought-stricken Oregon and California the last month, while following the Sunshine Coast Stage 4 restrictions debate. Regarding the SCRD situation, the outcry seems far-fetched.

Editor: As I did last year, along with others, I was a self-published author selling my wares at this year’s Festival of the Written Arts held at Rockwood Centre in Sechelt. Ah, the joys.
