the power of us 

I remember this one time when a visitor to my office, 

finding that I was the only one in there, exclaimed, “Oh, 

I was expecting to see a team of people here working for 

ZOOM.” I smiled and said, “It’s only me. I’m the only 

one behind the magazine. There is no group of people 

running around, no big company backing me up, no 

team of salespeople, no copywriters. It’s just me. I am 

ZOOM.” 

I used to think that way. However, I soon realized that I 

am not really the only one behind ZOOM. 

Let’s consider this issue, for example. Work on it started 

not with the first click of my mouse to open a brandnew 

file. It began way before that. It started when our 

photographers first pressed the shoot buttons on their 

cameras to capture the images we showcase in these 

pages. It includes the many hours they spent trying 

to get that perfect light of day, catch a bird in flight, or 

capture a fleeting moment when clouds form a dramatic 

canvas above a shimmering waterscape. 

This issue started with a painter’s first brush stroke on a 

blank canvas. It started when music festival organizers 

brainstormed for their new concert season and when 

other groups initiated plans for their annual events. 

Then it continued when some people slipped copies 

of ZOOM into travel bags to take with them to their 

destinations, to capture photographic mementos of 

their trips. Pet lovers joined in, too. They took photos of 

their adorable pets and sent them to us. Finally, local 

businesses who realized the value of ZOOM as a potent 

vehicle for their advertising message stepped forward 

and made it possible for this issue to go into print.

summer 2013 

10 14 

A series of beginnings, various acts of creation, both 

small and big steps from many individuals, community 

groups, and businesses, make up this issue of ZOOM. 

The power of community is definitely strong and alive 

on the Coast, and ZOOM is but one solid manifestation. 

When I now get asked who is behind ZOOM, I say that 

it is the community that produces it. I just happen to be 

the one who weaves the many threads into the finished 

pages.

I used to feel so all alone when, in the wee hours of the 

morning, struggling to meet the printing deadline, I was 

still working on refining page layouts. I don’t feel that 

way anymore. I am not ZOOM—we all are.

I love to photograph things that the 

average person wouldn’t stop to look at. 

There is so much beauty that gets passed 

by, when really people just need to slow 

down and look around in order to see it. 

The abundance of nature, its beauty, and 

the ocean at my doorstep inspire me on 

a daily basis. I want you to see, smell, and 

feel my images, as I did at that split second 

in time. I want them to speak to you, as 

they speak to me. — Linda Sabiston 

LINDA SABISTON IS THE OWNER OF FIRST IMPRESSION

SEASIDE CENTRE, SECHELT 

“What brings us together as a group is 

our focus on our artwork and the journey 

we are on. If you add an abundance 

of love, respect, and support toward 

each other into the mix, the impact 

on every individual is undeniable. We 

are so grateful to be able to share a 

fraction of what this brings forth with 

our community.” — Marleen Vermeulen

CAROL LA FAVE 

“The inaugural exhibition in 2012 was a huge 

success; it achieved a level of excellence both in 

the quality of the work and in organization. The 

combination of the art exhibition, the Festival 

of the Written Arts, and the Hackett Park Arts 

and Crafts Fair is an extraordinary convergence 

of creative activity in the heart of Sechelt. The 

Power of Paint exhibition makes a significant 

contribution to a cultural hub that puts Sechelt on 

the map, attracts visitors, and enriches the lives 

of our residents.” — Jane Davidson, Producer, 

Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts 

MARLEEN VERMEULEN 

MORLEY BAKER 

The 2013 Power of Paint will unveil an 

innovative art piece created jointly by all 

eleven artists. 

IAN MACLEOD 

“The idea behind this project is to see 

how we, as individual artists with our 

contrasting styles, can create something 

that is much more than the sum of 

the individual parts. Coming together 

to make a piece of art in this way 

invigorates a whole new level of energy, 

a new way of seeing and expressing a 

single image.” — Kim La Fave

I’ve spent my life dreaming of endless days 

on the beach collecting seashells. The sound 

of the waves crashing and the call of the 

Seagulls. The smell of the sea and the freshest 

air on earth. Living on the Sunshine Coast is 

a photographer’s dream come true. This is a 

day by the sea for me. Now I collect seashells, 

in print to be shared. — Heather Rule (Adams)

synchronicity 

festival 

Far from being just another festival, Synchronicity is 

a bold experiment in community building that gives 

us all a glimpse into our future today. 

Synchronicity is that moment in time when everything 

just feels connected. And while this feeling can be 

difficult to capture, the Synchronicity Festival is doing 

just that. We take the Sunshine Coast’s stunning 

rainforests and mountains, combine them with our 

world-class artists and acrobats, add some of our 

cutting-edge social entrepreneurs and innovators, 

toss in a few of our five-star chefs and artisans—and 

those connections simply start to happen. 

Taking place the weekend of August 23–25, the 

fourth annual Synchronicity Festival will feature 

the always popular Rainforest Circus (the 2013 

“take a chance” version), more jaw-dropping art 

installations, world-class roaming musicians, 

delectable local food, a marketplace of social and 

creative entrepreneurs, and a host of new and 

exciting first-time collaborations, including: an art 

farm–inspired “Causeway of Chance,” a humanscale 

board game by Roberts Creek’s very own The 

Only Animal Theatre Company, and a Saturday Night 

Carnivale featuring shadow puppetry by Mind of a 

Snail Puppet Co. and funk music by Brown Paper Bag 

that’ll get you dancing under the stars. 

Adults, bring the kids! Kids, bring the adults! Soak in 

the sights and sounds of Synchronicity this summer, 

a unique Sunshine Coast event for all ages!

Townsite Brewing 

beer , art & community 

Photography Jennifer Dodd & Dustan Sept | Words Nola Poirier & Karen Skadsheim 

The Bavarian purity law of 1516 dictates that 

beer must be made with only four ingredients: 

water, barley, hops, and yeast. But for the 

folks at Townsite Brewing, the recipe isn’t 

complete without one more essential ingredient: 

community. 

Community and local resilience is not a new idea 

in Powell River. In fact, the town itself was founded 

on principles of the Arts & Crafts movement, a 

philosophy that correlates good design with 

good society and emphasizes craftsmanship. 

And the brewery’s artisan tradition doesn’t end 

with the beer; in fact, that’s just the beginning. 

Local artist Meghan Hildebrand is the main 

creative mind behind their artwork, creating the 

logo as well as label art that evokes the area’s 

culture and history. Community is also very 

important to Hildebrand, and she loves the fact 

that Townsite has woven it into their core values. 

“This is the best design job—I get to create the 

visual identity for a company that is truly local 

and committed to our community, for a product 

I love that makes people happy and proud to 

be here,” she said. “These are exciting times for 

Townsite and Powell River!” 

The brewery’s commitment to social responsibility 

also includes fundraising. Townsite donates one 

dollar from every filled growler to Powell River 

non-profits. The success of this program—to 

date it has raised more than $8,000—inspired 

the Townsite team to develop a similar program 

for the Sechelt Peninsula. 

“We are very proud of the growler program,” said 

Director of Sales, Michelle Zutz, “and have long 

discussed how to expand it along the Coast. 

The key for us is keeping it uniquely local, but 

growlers really don’t travel past the Saltery Bay 

ferry. However, our Suncoast Pale Ale is draughtonly 

and available only on the Sunshine Coast, 

so we decided to use that.” 

This new program, dubbed “Toast the Coast,” 

pledges ten cents to Sunshine Coast non-profits 

from every pint of Suncoast sold from Langdale 

to Earl’s Cove and runs from Victoria Day to 

Labour Day. 

So don’t just break bread together, toast the 

Coast. Is there a more satisfying way to build 

community? 

Taps involved in the program are at the Backeddy, 

Lighthouse Pub, Ruby Lake Resort, the Gumboot, 

and Sita’s Spag Shack. The first recipient of the 

program is FUSE and the Hop Yard Collective.

pender harbour reading centre 

Although it was originally started in 1968, the Pender Harbour Reading 

Centre is still a well-kept secret to some. Located beside the School 

of Music and the Harbour Gallery in Madeira Park, the Reading Centre 

provides a recreational reading opportunity for residents of Pender 

Harbour, Egmont, and Secret Cove. It is operated by the non-profit 

Pender Harbour Reading Society, and all work is done by volunteers, who 

purchase and catalogue the books and provide service to the public 

several days a week. The volunteers also conduct regular story times 

for the Serendipity Preschool, in an effort to develop an appreciation for 

books among our very young readers. Recently, the Centre introduced 

computer tutorials—how to use the online catalogue, access Sechelt

Library, and download e-books and audio books. The Reading Centre’s 

collection contains fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and a complete set 

of Harbour Publishing’s books. The Board purchases books throughout the 

year, based on the interests of the majority of the members, and tries to fulfill 

special requests when possible. An interlibrary loan service is also available. 

The Centre accepts book donations, which are added to the collection, where 

appropriate and possible, or sold in book sales. Current funding is through 

small grants and cash donations, which are always welcome. Check out the 

Centre’s website at www.penderharbourlibrary.ca for hours and membership 

information and to preview recent additions to the collection. Better yet, visit 

the Reading Centre in person.

of the sunshine coast 

June 18, 2013, Roberts Creek Arts Festival, ZOOM 

photo booth at Nicospacraft, one of the festival 

venues: I asked festival-goers to smile for the 

camera and be part of this special photo spread. It 

was a simple, no-fuss photo setup, using available 

natural light, with camera in automatic mode. No 

mirror to check hair and makeup or to practise a 

smile. Not expecting good technical results, but 

wishing simply to capture people’s natural smiles. It 

was a fun experience meeting new people and taking 

their photos. It was fun to again relive the experience 

while putting together the layouts. I was smiling, 

too, throughout the entire task. Who wouldn’t when 

everyone is smiling back at you? — Edmund Arceo

GREAT BLUE HERON, THE BLUE ANGEL 2012

feathers 

the passion of krisztina harasztosi 

As a child I was fond of two things: animals and painting. While 

neither of these interests led to a full-time career, they led me 

to a keen interest in photography. My husband and I moved 

from Hungary to Canada in 2007 to start a new life, and we 

eventually found ourselves on the Sunshine Coast last year. 

I felt that I had found home. I am amazed at the beauty that 

surrounds me . . . the mountains, the water, and the diversity of 

wildlife. I love taking walks and find smiling people everywhere. 

This is where my love for photography grew even more. I read 

all the books I found and tried all the techniques that appeared 

interesting. I have just not been able to stop exploring the 

possibilities that lie hidden in a camera. 

My work mostly includes wildlife photography. Birds have 

been a favourite subject. I also do landscapes with HDR (High 

Dynamic Range) techniques, time-lapsed star photography 

(night photography without flash), portraits, macro-photos, 

and slow-shutter art photography. 

My bird photographs are taken from a very close distance; I 

shoot with a relatively short lens (300 mm). I do not plan to 

change this, because taking photographs is more than art 

for me. I consider it an adventure to find and approach my 

“models,” getting as close to them as possible. I am especially 

fond of action shots. I learned the technique to take pictures 

and change spots quickly to preserve the fleeting moments 

that escape human eyes. I am looking forward to being able to 

exhibit my photographs in venues around the Coast. 

I know I will never grow up. I will always be the little girl who 

looks at the world with wide-eyed amusement, whether looking 

at a tiny bug or an approaching big bear. — Krisztina Harasztosi

discovery 

earthly journeys 

Catch Our Drift Earthly Journeys is a new experiential 

tourism company on the Sunshine Coast. An 

experiential tour, simply put, provides the opportunity 

to learn something by doing something with someone 

who lives here. A more in-depth view showcases this 

as responsible tourism. Catch Our Drift achieves 

responsibility on three levels. For the traveller, it is 

an opportunity to immerse oneself quickly in local 

culture in a hands-on and interactive way, which is both 

meaningful and enjoyable to the person experiencing 

it. For the community, there is the economic benefit of 

dollars being spent locally, but the real value is found 

in empowering community members to share their 

passions. It builds local pride and confidence and is also 

culturally sensitive, fostering respect between tourists 

and hosts. Understanding comes from knowing. For 

the environment, the journey guides have inspirational 

messages about life on Earth. 

One of the core elements of a Catch Our Drift journey 

is consciousness. This can be shared by guides in a 

variety of ways: recycling plastic taster spoons at the 

gelato shop, providing tips for building a “green” home 

or raising organic chickens, or working with a fine artist 

to really see a subject you’re working on; from learning 

how to find food in the forest to remembering your 

experience through sketches in your travel journal and 

through shared stories and conversations. Sunshine 

Coasters have so much wisdom to share, and this is a 

wonderful opportunity to tap into it. It can be deep or it 

can be subtle, and if you’re open to it, it will definitely 

be fun! 

Catch Our Drift Earthly Journeys provides unique local 

experiences to visitors on the Sunshine Coast of British 

Columbia. Journeys average two to three hours each 

and allow for quick immersion into the local culture. For 

more information, please visit www.catchourdrift.ca or 

call 604-740-2179.
