HIGH-TECH IN QUALICUM
Incubating the future
School district, town talking about KSS space JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com
If they built it, would they come? Momentum seems to be growing for a business incubator in Qualicum Beach, a high-tech haven possible situated in empty space at Kwalikum Senior Secondary. The board of trustees for School District 69 discussed the possibility at length at their regular board meeting last week. While it’s early days and board members said they have many unanswered concerns, they did pass a motion allowing senior district staff to study the costs and benefits further. Acting Supt. Rollie Koop told the board part of KSS could become a “hub of activity” for digital media enterprises. “Ultimately, it could get to a place where we might be launching businesses from that place,” said Koop, adding that the Town of Qualicum Beach sees it as an opportunity to”create an environment that would be more attractive to young families.” Seconding a chunk of KSS for this venture would take an unique partnership between the town, the school district and private enterprise, said Koop. “I think this is a project of merit,” said Koop, who said he had some concerns about some “aggressive” timelines being thrown around by some for the start of the incubator. “The trick is going to be making this a non-cost item for the district.” While they unanimously voted to pursue the idea further, trustees had their concerns. “I’m not really interested in our students working in a call centre,” said trustee Barry Kurland. “I think we will have a chance further down to approve it or not.” See STAFF, page A3

CANADA DAY
Fun in the scorching sun It was 27C when parade started just after 10 a.m. JOHN HARDING
editor@pqbnews.com
Thousands of enthusiastic people lined the streets of Parksville on Monday to celebrate Canada Day with a colourful parade under sunny skies
and near-record-high temperatures. There were more than 150 entries in the parade and spectators were staking out their places with lawn chairs as early as 8 a.m for the parade that started just after 10 a.m. and lasted about 90 minutes. When the parade started, the sign at Community Park registered a sultry 27 degrees C.
This parade had everything a great parade should — marchers, bands, candy, clowns, cool vehicles, floats, horses. Many of the parade-goers then slid into Community Park for an afternoon and evening organized by the Rotary Club. For more photos from the parade, see page A5 and our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/PQBNews. See MORE PHOTOS, page A5

Investigation ahead for Oceanside RCMP
The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) confirms that it will investigate an incident from November of last year involving the Oceanside RCMP. According to the RCMP, at 4:11 p.m. on the afternoon of Nov. 18, 2012, a member of the Oceanside RCMP attended an Errington residence in response to a complaint. A physical struggle allegedly took place between the officer and one adult male. The adult male sustained injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. The RCMP reported the incident to the IIO shortly after it occurred. Based on the information provided, the IIO did not assert jurisdiction. On May 1, 2013, the RCMP made a subsequent notification providing additional information on the affected person’s injuries. Over the following weeks, IIO investigators worked to obtain clarification on the injuries. On June 26, 2013, the Chief Civilian Director reassessed the information provided to the IIO and asserted jurisdiction. — NEWS Staff/IIO
Staff will now dig into the details ContinuEd FROM pAGE A1
“It’s at the preliminary stage but I’m excited to see where it goes,” said trustee Julie Austiin. “It sounds very exciting but there are some risks,” said trustee Ross Milligan, acting as chair for the meeting in the absence of trustee Lynette Kershaw. Koop said staff will now dig into the details and report back to the board at a future meeting, not likely until September.

Luxury at a Fraction of the Cost
Directors with the Regional District of Nanaimo are aware that the rules around legal marijuana grow operations have changed, but they’re still unclear on what that will mean for them — and they’re looking for answers. The issue arose at the regular board meeting Tuesday when a Cedar resident complained about the smell from a legal grow-op next door to her home. Kathryn Seymour said in her presentation that she lives in an area where there are many such operations. “The smell is very distinctive,” she said. “I’ve had many people comment on it as they drive through the area.” Her neighbour’s legal operation, she said, is one of the sources of the pungent odor. She said she requested the person living there to do something about it, but all that happened was that she was assaulted by a secondary odor used in an attempt to cover up the first. “He’s trying to mask it, but there’s a constant
and strong wind blowing our way. When the smell is baad we have to close our windows. We’ve had people complain of headaches from all-day exposure.” Seymour noted that recently-announced changes to the medical marijuana legislation could improve the situation but stressed that the larger operations could prove to be magnets for crime — something she wants to avoid in her generally quiet neighbourhood. To this end, she called on the RDN to set up zoning restrictions to make sure that any new operations are sited in commercial or industrial, rather than rural or residential areas. Under the new regulations, production will no longer be allowed to be done in homes and all municipal zoning laws will need to be respected. In response to the delegation, deputy board chair Diane Brennan called on district staff to prepare a report on the district’s options for controlling legal marijuana grow operations, as well as the issues arising from changes to the legislation.

Province won’t help Forestry minister turns down request for trash-cleaning help NEIL HORNER news@pqbnews.com
It doesn’t look like there’s going to be any major initiative to clean up the trash defacing the foot of Little Mountain any time soon. Regional District of Nanaimo director Julian Fell said this week a request sent to the provincial government for help in coming up with a program to remove the accumulated garbage was turned down. Fell, the director for the Errington-Coombs area, said he enlisted the aid of NDP MLA Scott Fraser in hopes of sparking some action — but to no avail. In a letter obtained by The NEWS, Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations thanked Fraser for his letter, but poured cold water on the idea of any kind of provincial help. “While I share your concerns in this matter, I am also aware that measures have been undertaken in the past to curtail or prevent this kind of activity,” Thomson said. “These measures have included the installation of fences that were subsequently vandalized and are now no longer in place.” Thomson added that the location of the refuse makes it very difficult to access in order to remove the accumulated garbage. “This challenge, together with a limited budget available for this purpose, makes it difficult to commit to funding the clean-up of the refuse at this time,” he said in the letter. He did however suggest that access to the top of Little Mountain is administered by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) and suggested arrangements could be made to implement access controls, in order to prevent more being added to the pile. That didn’t sit well with Fell. “That’s not where we were going with this,” he said. He conceded however that the site would prove difficult to access for any kind of cleanup. “We would have to build some sort of road to the base and use gravity to get the stuff down to it, where we could use a quad or something to move it out,” he added. “As it is, it’s just too awkward.” With the province out of the picture, Fell said he holds out little hope for early action on Little Mountain, noting the site could come under the mandate of several jurisdictions and could also be included in a future land claim.

New jobs for Fraser NEIL HORNER news@pqbnews.com
One might think the switch from being Aboriginal Affairs critic to the critic for Rural Economic Development, Mining and Fisheries would be a bit of a stretch, but that’s not so, says Scott Fraser. The Alberni-Pacific Rim MLA said his old and new portfolios actually mesh quite well. “It’s about rural economic development, which is the key to Vancouver Island,” Fraser said. “It flows right out of my last portfolio in Aboriginal Affairs. Rural economic development in many regions in the province is tied inextricably to resource extraction. My plan as critic is not to ‘silo’ economic development for aboriginal and non-aboriginals. They are linked and that’s the future of this province.” Fraser said he sees the Raven coal mine proposal as an example of the way rural economic development shouldn’t be pursued. “We need mining in the province as part of the economic mosaic, but here you have a proposal that may well be incompatible with all other uses and values of the area,” he said. “It’s a great example of things to watch for when applications come forward. I want to make sure mining occurs, but that it occurs in a just way and doesn’t wreck the other economic initiatives.” Fraser was also voted in as deputy whip, an internal party position that will see him responsible for making sure his fellow MLAs are where they are meant to be and when they are meant to be there.

School district staff and trustees continue to take a long, hard look at their International Student Program (ISP). At their regular board meeting last week, School District 69 trustees approved the terms of reference for a review of the program that will be done internally, after it was decided an external investigation would have been cost prohibitive. The board also received a presentation from Acting Superintendent Rollie Koop supplying some facts, figures and public input, the latter obtained through a series of public meetings and surveys. There were 137 international students in the district during the just-completed school year. This puts District 69 20th among school districts in B.C., but sixth when it’s calculated as a percentage of the total student population (3.2 per cent). The local school district, more than $2 million in the hole, also had a look at the revenue generated by the ISP. Based on its preliminary budget, the district expects the ISP will contrib-

ute $542,647 to the general budget in 2013-14 after making $400,000 in 2012-13. “It has been a revenue generator right from the beginning,” Koop said in an interview Friday. Koop’s presentation also estimated the local economic impact of international students to be $3.4 million in 2012-13. Now that the terms of reference have been determined, Koop said he expects the review of the program will be ready for the public’s eyes in September.

All that’s needed, said the Parksville resident on Friday, is a a few zap straps, some old grates from refrigerators, a little effort and a lot of heart. Hampson was in The NEWS last week after he saved three baby quails that had fallen through a sewer grate outside his Wheeler Avenue home. He just happened to be passing by when one avian youngster fell through the grate, which led him to discover three others, one of which didn’t survive the ordeal. Although he was able to save most of the imperiled birds, Hampson is concerned about the many others he envisions falling through many other grates in the community when nobody is looking. He has a plan to deal with it though, and while it doesn’t take the resources needed by the more famous Watson, there is one similarity in his approach — direct action. Hampson took two old refrigerator grates and some zap straps and attached them to the grate outside his house and across the street. He’s now confident the little birds won’t be falling in any more, but he wants to see the program expanded city-wide. “I love wildlife and I would hate like hell to lose the wildlife we have here,” he said. “The grates are designed to keep out debris, but that debris is called leaves and they fall in the autumn, not the spring. I don’t see any reason why the city can’t install something like this on, say, the first of April and take it off in late

summer before the leaves fall.” He suggested it would be relatively simple to design a mesh to flip up and then slide down the gap between the grate and the curb, meaning it would be a simple chore to make the change with the change of seasons. “The city puts up Christmas lights every year and takes them down — and those lights don’t save a thing,” he said. “I don’t know why they can’t do this, too.” Hampson said he’s concerned after reading reports of quail numbers dropping around North America and he said the grates could be one reason for the decline. “You can’t stop cats from getting them, because that’s their nature,” he said. “We can protect these storm drains so they don’t fall through there though. I wonder how many fall through? Probably hundreds.” Hampson wouldn’t be surprised if the municipality took a dim view of his direct action initiative, but he’s determined not to give up on the project.
“I don’t like those little birds dying in my storm sewer. I don’t like that at all,” he said. “I just can’t see letting this issue die and then having more die every year.” However, City of Parksville director of operations Al Metcalf is not convinced. “I wouldn’t advise people to put anything over the catch basins,” Metcalf said. “We have well over 1,300 catch basins in the city and they are designed to take the storm water. The whole idea is that they don’t back up. It’s not just leaves, it’s also debris from the road. If we put anything over the grate, there’s a really strong potential that it could back up and flood people’s homes.” That said, Metcalf conceded that he doesn’t want to see baby quails (known as squealers) perish. “I do feel badly,” he said. “If we had been called and there were baby quail in there we would have done the same thing and fished them out. Unfortunately, we have to look at what the catch basins are designed to do.”

Promise abounds
T
here’s something exciting about high school graduation time, even for those of us who went through it decades ago. As we watched the 2013 high school grad classes of both Ballenas and Kwalikum parade through our streets — a great tradition, by the way — we could almost feel the potential in the air, like it was some kind of palpable breath of fresh air, of promise. Young people leaving our K-12 school system these days have many challenges ahead of them, but they also seem more prepared than those who graduated 30 or 40 or 50 years ago. There are course options and streams available now — trades, drama, digital — which seem a lot more interesting and relevant than what was offered in the past. The challenge for us older folk is to provide an atmosphere and opportunities that encourage some of these grads to stick around Parksville Qualicum Beach. Those who resist change, those who don’t want to see growth or development or innovation, are snubbing their noses at the future and potential of both the communities in which they live and the young people graduating these past couple of weeks. Does that mean a subdivision on every available piece of land or six-storey condo complexes cheek-byjowl in downtown cores? Of course not. It does mean keeping he doors open, however, and presenting a professional and welcoming attitude to those who want to invest in our communities and supply jobs locally for young people who want to be carpenters or home builders or electricians. There is something brewing involving the Town of Qualicum Beach, School District 69 and some private interests that perhaps illustrates better what we mean about providing opportunities. In a nutshell, there’s talk about using some space at Kwalikum to set up a digitialbusiness incubator, a place where big ideas can start, grow and hopefully become thriving enterprises. It’s early days on this project, but it’s the type of thing that could keep young people in our communities, provide jobs and give us more optimism about the future. As we’ve seen during this grad period, we have some talented, keen young people in our region. It’s up to our community leaders to ensure these young people don’t automatically believe they have to leave. — Editorial by John Harding

Letters The elecToral scoop
The NDP are holding a post-mortem conference to evaluate what went wrong; perhaps a few comments from an ex-member may help. First, the electoral system is seriously faulty and has been widely known to be so for decades; nothing has been done. No assertion was made by the NDP in the election that the system would be changed as a first order of business, so this translated into— ‘We aren’t really bothered’, and 48 per cent of voters stayed at home. Then, it is glaringly obvious that to fund parties by private donations allows the wealthiest donors to set and control party policy — for why else would they part with large sums of money if not for a pay-back? The result is that parties are essentially bought by the highest bidders; indeed, taxpayers unwittingly support this process in the form of the rebates on donations. Not good enough. And of course, large numbers of voters (not just NDP) are choked to discover that 80 per cent of the $4.6 billion interest charges on the B.C. government are now offbudget; they refer to P3s and other private deals with corporations which are treated as privileged information. Which touches on the whole question of why all our governments now borrow their money at enormous cost from the private banking sector anyway, when our own national bank which was created and chartered specifically to do just that — at minute cost as a public utility — has been relegated to the sidelines for nearly 40 years now, and only supplies credit for issues of cash currency — a mere three per cent of all borrowing.

Dead silence surrounds this matter, and neither candidate at Knox United all-candidates meeting even attempted to answer my question: “Why? What benefits have accrued?” and professed to not understand it. By essentially ignoring these matters — probably the most explosive in politics today — the NDP have justifiably been clobbered, and without some radical re-thinking, that verdict will recur.

I would suggest my friend and letter writer Frank Horner remove his rose-coloured glasses. Horner states in his latest attack on our current council: “There were no gangs in previous council. Differences of opinion were debated and resolved with the electorate’s wishes in mind.” I attended council meetings on a regular basis for over 15 years and once Teunis Westbroek was elected mayor we saw the original gang of three — Westbroek and Barry Avis for nine years, along with Scott Tanner most of the way. I sat at meeting after meeting and saw highly qualified and dedicated councillors such as Anton Kruyt, Jack Wilson, Wendy Mauer and Mike Wansink put forward many well-thought-out and useful suggestions which were totally ignored by the original gang. Horner attended these same meetings and I guess some people only see what they want to see. Time to take off the glasses Horner, and take a look at the real world.
About four years ago, the people of District 69 were struggling with how to get a health centre to happen. The history actually goes back more than 20 years. I was part of the Tom Davies’ FORA group, and we had talked about the idea of petitions. Actually, going back further, I had spoken with Mayor Teunis Westbroek about the difficulty we were having to get this going, and he suggested “how about getting together some signatures on petitions?” I brought that forward to the Tom’s group and it was heartily accepted. Then there was a public forum held at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre and I brought along nearly 2,000 signatures. I was privileged to be asked by Cantelon and the FORA group to bring our petition signatures, now totaling 6,000, to Victoria. MLA Ron Cantelon was our champion. Thank you Ron, for your determination, steadfastness and big heart to finish the race.

Members in the Parksville Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie pride themselves on helping people in the community, but right now they’re looking for a little help of their own. The non-profit organization has donated over $400,000 in the last 10 years to local groups like Arrowsmith Search and Rescue, the Haven Society and the Errington Therapeutic
Riding association, but right now the group’s numbers are at an all time low. Shane Ovington, president of the local Aerie (men’s) group, said at one point the organization had around 100 members, but today they sit at 22, with only six people out actively working. Ovington said it’s a sign of the times. “It’s the time, the day and age,” he said. “Everybody is working and people don’t
have time to volunteer. And it’s a real shame because we do such good work.” Ovington had never volunteered before he started with the Eagles. And although he works full time, he still volunteers with the club 40 to 50 hours a week. Ovington said the majority of the money the Parksville group raises is through putting on bingo, and they need help running that fundraiser, as well as sell-
ing raffle tickets, acting as goodwill ambassadors at the gates of Beach Fest and fixing things around the Eagles hall, among other volunteer tasks. The local women’s auxiliary is also looking for members and volunteers. To become a member, contact Ovington for a registration form at 250-2488268.

Airport to play host to visiting pilots Pilots from around B.C. to make feather-light landings in Qualicum What do you serve at an event designed to celebrate the wonder of flight? How about flapjacks? That’s what will be on the menu when the Parksville-Qualicum Aero Club kicks off their fly-in on Saturday, July 13 at the Qualicum Beach municipal airport. While it is being held for members of the Aero Club and their many visiting colleagues, president Fred Evoy stressed that all aviation fans are wel-
come to to join them airside for a hearty pancake breakfast and to watch visiting planes come and go. Doors open at 8 a.m.and flapjacks will be available until 11 a.m. Burgers and hotdogs each will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. “A Fly-In is not the same as the Airport Appreciation Day, but it does bring some interesting aircraft and colourful pilots to town,” Evoy said. “We’re hosting a salmon barbecue and dance in the hangar on Saturday night for our fly-in friends, PQAC members and their invited guests. Big Twang Theory will be providing the dancing music.
“If you’re a friend of a club member or have ever volunteered to help out with our events at the airport — you’re our friend”, said Evoy. The barbecue has already sold out, however dance ticket requests can be emailed to Kevin Varey at kvarey@discoverywestaviation.com. Saturday’s breakfast tickets can be bought at the Parksville-Qualicum Aeroclub clubhouse at the Qualicum Beach Airport — past the terminal and through the gate.

LIGHTHOUSE COUNTRY ART
Painted in the open air, sold that day About 150 people visited 13 inspirational gardens in Lighthouse Country BRENDA GOUGH NEWS Contributor
It was a veritable who’s who of talented artists at the Lighthouse Community Centre June 23 and their incredible pieces of art. Several renowned local painters created masterpieces inspired by some of the gorgeous gardens in Lighthouse Country for an event organized by the Bow-Horne-Bay Community Club. The G-art-den tour saw about 150 people visit 13 inspirational gardens in Lighthouse Country. Each garden had local artists painting “en plein air” a French expression which means in the open air. Seventeen artists, many of them members of the Canadian Federation of Artists, spent the day capturing the beauty of what was in front of them.
The public got to watch them in action and following the selfguided tours there was a strawberry tea and art auction at the Lighthouse Community Hall. The artwork produced that day, fresh from the easel, was put up for sale in a silent auction with partial proceeds going to the fundraiser. Watercolour artist and instructor Greg Swainson didn’t have to go far to paint his piece which sold for $80. The owner of the Raintree Studio & Gallery in Qualicum Beach chose a beautiful spot on his property to paint his canvas. Swainson who opened the studio and gallery on the seven acre waterfront location in Qualicum Beach in May 2012 said he usually works from his studio which overlooks the ocean but he enjoyed stepping outside with his easel for the event. Swainson said he also liked checking out all of the other artwork created that day and mingling with his fellow artists. It’s the first time Swainson has participated in the event and he said he would love to do it again.
BRENDA GOUGH PHOTO
Artist Greg Swainson usually gets his inspiration while painting from his studio in Qualicum Beach. He stepped outside on June 23 and his stunning garden surrounding his Raintree Studio and Gallery was the inspiration for this watercolour portrait he produced for the Bow-Horne-Bay Community Club G-art-den tour.
Sales from the tour and auction raised $2000 which will go towards projects including the annual Lighthouse Country Fall Fair which this year turns 40.
Organizer Terri Bowen said the tour featured some spectacular gardens including hers and despite the wet weather that day they had a good turnout. “It was really successful,” she
said. Bowen said this is the third time they have held the event and they will definitely do it again probably in two years time.

Organizers are urging locals and visitors alike to join them Sunday, July 7 at the Coombs Fairgrounds, for an old-style Box Social. They are suggesting you come celebrate 100 years of the Coombs Fair and help them build the Centennial Music Stage. In the Box Social tradition, friends, spouses or sweethearts vie against other bidders to win the company of the donor
and their specially prepared Box Dinner. Watch for Celebrity Guest announcements. Attend the Box Social, and bring along a prepared picnic dinner (all cold foods with ice pack) for two to share. The winning bidder will share that meal with you (donor will take home basket, dishes, decor, etc.). Or come as a guest, and bid generously on a Box Dinner to share with the donor. The fun will kick off at 4 p.m., with Kumbana Marimba band playing energetic music great for dancing. Games for children will also be available.
Box Dinners will be auctioned off from 5-6 p.m. For those who aren’t lucky enough to buy a Box Dinner, the concession will be open, offering sandwiches, veggie snacks and fruit. Anyone with children or special dietary needs are invited to bring their own picnic meals. Square dance demonstrations will follow, with more opportunity to get up and shake a leg! This will be followed by the feature act for the evening, the local jug band sensation, Jugmental, with more toe-tapping music. Box dinner donations must arrive by
4:30 p.m. for viewing prior to the auction. Goods and service items will also be included in the auction. Event parking will be available in the upper field, access off Burgoyne Road. This is a family friendly, no smoking, no alcohol event. Other than certified assistance dogs, no dogs will be permitted on site. All proceeds from this event will support the construction of the Coombs Fair Centennial Project, the new custombuilt log music stage. For more information, contact event coordinator, Debbie Adkins at 250-248-8724 or visit www. coombsfair.com Quality Foods: Premiere Sponsor

Hands-on learning
Cultivating community the key to this class Ballenas students learn how to cultivate more than just a garden, but rather they’re growing a whole community LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqnew.com
Ballenas Secondary School students got a taste of growing their own food, living sustainably and building connections in the community this past semester, with a new, hands-on course. The initiative is called Cultivating a Community and was the brainchild of BSS home economics teacher Monica Bradbury. “I wanted to blow the walls off my classroom and take the students out in to the community,” she said. The goal of the program was to study foods from a sustainable perspective, touching on human development and family studies. The students worked closely with the Mercer family at Tiger Lily farm, learning about animal husbandry and about working on a small farm. They also visited Deep Bay’s
biological station to learn about sustainable seafood, they learned about seed saving and benefits from a local seed company, and they explored the Shelley Road estuary to look at wild, edible plants and learn about fish habitat, among other projects. Two important segments of the course saw students working with mentors at Family Place and Munchkinland, and other Building Learning Together initiatives, as well as building an organic garden from scratch at BSS. “I noticed, even in this community, a disconnect with students and where their food PHoTos sUBMiTTed BY MoniCa BradBUrY came from, so I wanted to teach Students in Mrs. Bradbury’s Cultivating a Community class recently planted the fall pumpkin patch them about growing locally and for Tiger Lily Farm. organically,” said Bradbury. “They felt value in what they with new initiatives including Bradbury and her students supply her home economics did and an immense sense adding solar panels and comput in raised beds in the school program with fresh produce. courtyard at BSS, as well as a The students completed jour- of pride in their accomplish- posts to the organic garden at nals throughout the semester ments,” she said. the school, and looking at tradisprinkler system.

SHriNer’S BreAKFASt
Celebrating solstice with some flapjacks Moneys raised go towards the many charitable works by the Shriners NEIL HORNER news@pqbnews.com
The summer solstice was rung in with the sound of spatulas on a grill recently as Parksville-Qualicum Shriners held a pancake breakfast outside the Middleton office of the local radio station, The Beach/The Lounge. The occasion, said organizer Patrick Nicholson, was the station’s annual celebration of the first day of summer. “We’ve done this for the last three or four years but usually we’re parked out on the front at the highway and in the past we had Tim Horton’s doughnuts and coffee,” Nicholson said. “With the (other business) moving out, the parking lot became available, so we thought, why don’t we get the Shriners to come down for a pancake breakfast?” The summer solstice is the day when the hours of sunlight are the longest and marks the official beginning of summer. Similarly, the winter solstice is the traditional first day of winter, when the night is the longest of the year. Moneys raised go towards the many charitable works provided by Branch 34 of the Shriners.

LOCAL BUSINESS PROFILE
Making people smile with sushi AUREN RUVINSKY
writer@pqbnews.com
He loves the people of the area and stepped out from the kitchens of other people’s sushi restaurants so he could see the smiles his food creates. “I had experience working in Japanese and pastry restaurants in Japan and Canada,” said Kazuhiro “Kaz” Abe of his decision to open Sushi Deco in Parksville with his wife Akiko in May 2011. He had seven years sushi making experience in Japan, Nanaimo and Parksville but was tired of working away in the back while the owner got the credit. He wanted to craft his own creations and see the results with his happy customers, he recently explained during a lull in the steady flow of traffic in the little orange shop behind Pharmasave. He came to Canada 17 years ago for the first time and after a road trip across the country to Newfoundland, “I found the best place was here.” “I went back to Japan to work for 10 years but I missed it here,” he said so he quit his job and moved back to the Island with his wife in 2005. He didn’t hesitate when asked what he likes about the area — “The people, they’re so kind… I like
the nature, the ocean, everything around here.” Coming from Osaka, Japan, a city larger than Vancouver, he admits quiet little Parksville was an adjustment, but a nice one. His four-year-old son was born here and is headed off to Kindergarten in September. They don’t have any other family in the area but they have friends and are happy to put down roots and plan to stay indefinitely. Their son has one specific big influence on the restaurant where both his parents spend their days, namely the fact they can’t find weekend daycare means they are closed Saturday and Sunday. “People ask all the time when we’re going to open on the weekend.” With friends taking care of him they’re going to open for lunch (11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.) on Saturdays this summer to see how that goes. The tiny unassuming shop boasts over 80 modern fresh dishes including everything from an impressive array of rolls to maki, nigiri, salads, rice bowls and more experimental dishes like a scallop burger. Check out the selection of reasonably priced Japanese cuisine at 261 East Island Highway, Parksville from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Realtor happy to collect for Children’s Hospital Local realtor Ian Lindsay is still collecting donations after an inspiring tour of the B.C. Children’s Hospital and involvement in the Children’s Miracle Telethon. “The time spent in the ICU was rather amazing,” he e-mailed The NEWS. “It is a place that you are glad exists and fervently hope that you never have to visit. We saw the special equipment needed to help keep small babies alive. We saw young mothers and fathers taking care of their precious children in private rooms and
open ward areas.” The tour was meant as a thank you and to provide the long-involved realtors with information to take back to other RE/MAX realtors who support the Children’s Hospital through the Miracle Office and Miracle Home program. “We met with one young family whose six-month-old baby had been diagnosed with brain cancer. The tumor had been removed and now they were going through several more months of chemotherapy
and rehab,” Lindsay explained of the otherwise very normal couple who’d barely seen their apartment in months. “They were so grateful to the hospital and its supporters for the assistance. And yes they had a beautiful little baby who was active and smiled at us from behind the glass of the special room.” “I have been involved with The Children’s Hospital through an introduction made by RE/MAX over 15 years ago… but I must say that the impact of the vis-
it was more than one could really comprehend when listening to a speaker, or out there fundraising for the good of the cause.” “To see the tangible hands-on work in progress… is very humbling.” Lindsay and the B.C. RE/MAX team also took part in the live B.C. Children’s Miracle Weekend Telethon. For more information, visit: www.ianlindsay.ca. — Submitted by Ian Lindsay

Scavenger hunt with lingerie Business After Business event bring people Close to You
There’s nothing like a great scavenger hunt to spice up soiree and when there is lingerie involved — even better.

TERRENCE FRENCH MOLONY October 31, 1941 – June 10, 2013
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Terry, our father, grandfather, brother and partner after a long battle with cancer. He is now at peace. Terry was born in Princeton, BC, grew up in Vancouver, and then moved to Nanaimo to raise his family. Later he divorced, moved to Nanoose Bay then retired in Bowser on Vancouver Island. He is survived by his children, Michael (Lisa), Shannon (Jerry), and Philip, granddaughter Alexandra, and brother Trevor (Flora), sister Gail Akins and Terry’s partner Lucille Bullen. Terry will also be missed by many friends and relatives. Thank you to the nursing staff at the Qualicum Manor in Qualicum Beach, BC.

Oxland off to World Championships Local OTF standout is second in age group in Canada, heading to Ukraine July 10-14 JAMES CL ARKE sports@pqbnews.com
Oceanside Track & Field standout Thomas Oxland has been named to the Canadian team selected to compete at the IAAF World Youth Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine, July 10-14. According to OTFC co-coach Kim Longmuir, Oxland, 16, qualified for the excellent adventure by running below the world standard for the 800m event of 1:55, when he ran a personal best 1:53.2 June 15 in a Q Series Meet in Victoria, which ranks him second in Canada for his age and earned him a spot on the team. “That’s like an 11,” the dedicated teen answered quickly when asked how it felt on a scale of one to 10, adding his main goal at the beginning of the year was to make the team, “so I was pretty happy.” “There was only one other guy in the race, and a pacer, so that was good — he took us through pretty quickly, and then I finished as strong as I could,” Oxland said of the memorable race when The NEWS caught up with him.
He said he wasn’t a hundred per cent sure he’d qualified for Team Canada at the time because there were other runners still trying to qualify, and he didn’t find out for sure until last Tuesday’s practice at Ballenas Secondary School. One of four boys, Oxland lives in Nanaimo and attends Dover Bay Secondary but has been training with Oceanside Track & Field for the past six years with his twin brother Peter. Team Canada is comprised of 51 U18 athletes (23 boys and 28 girls) from across the country. In all, 17 BC athletes made the team — seven boys including three from the Island and 10 girls (two from the Island). “This is a first for OTFC and for Randy and I as coaches, and needless to say we are very proud of Thomas,” said Kim. UP NEXT Oxland was to compete in the 800m at the Pre-Jerome Meet at UBC on Saturday, and leaves to assemble with his teammates in Toronto July 6, which flys out to Istanbul, Turkey, the following day.

Local girls lights out in free throw competition JAMES CL ARKE sports@pqbnews.com
Two local girls were lights out at the annual Knights of Columbus district free throw competition, as they fed the net for what would stand up to be the highest scores in their divisions in all of B.C. and the Yukon. Taking first overall in their respective age groups were Olivia Williams, 10, a student at Arrowview Elementary School, and Makayla Hoey, 13, from Springwood Middle. The popular competition, played out in gyms across B.C. every year for many years, included the Knight’s Dist. 2 (North Island) playdowns March 3 at Qualicum Beach Middle School in which 70 boys and girls aged 10-14 MOUNTAIN BIKE HYBRID BMX NEW & USED

Besides winning their regional competition, the girls’ high scores also netted them the Knight’s State Award for all of B.C./Yukon. Each girl gets a trophy and a keepsake basketball, which Olivia was presented at a special school ceremony at Arrowview Elementary June 26. Hoey, who was away at a sports camp in the U.S., will be presented her hardware at a later date. “They were excellent,” Morrison, in his third year volunteering with the program, said of the girls’ efforts. “They really excelled at their shooting, especially for their age. It shows great athletic ability to shoot that good.”

U12 Black Rage remain unbeaten Parksville team caps undefeated 13-0 season with 4-0 playoff win in Nanaimo JAMES CL ARKE
In their tournament meeting the Red Rage were leading 6-1 in the bottom of the fourth but the Blacks came back to win the game 10-6 in the regulation five innings. “They’re a tough team to play,” said Kellow, who had props for Red Rage pitcher Dakota Harstad “who pitched really good — she had eight Ks in three innings against us.” “It’s been a very fun season and we’re not done yet,” Kellow answered when asked about the streak, and explained his 11 player roster of 10-12 year olds is a great mix of girls. “It was really neat to see the girls that haven’t played before buying into the team concept, everybody sliding and doing everything they needed to do to win. They’ve all learned quite a bit,” he said, and made the point that in the tournament final “the bottom of our lineup was outhitting the top of our lineup and that makes it pretty tough (on opposing teams).” In the meantime the Rage are back practicing at Springwood Park for the U12 Girls Regional C Island Championships slated for Port Alberni July 5-7.

Parksville’s U12 Black Rage fastpitch team kept its unbeaten season alive by winning their district playdowns, but it all comes down to the Island finals now. Undefeated on the season at 17-0 the Black Rage won all 13 of their regular season house games to take top spot in their six team Mid-Island league (made up of teams from Ladysmith, Nanaimo and Parksville) and went 4-0 to take tournament gold in Nanaimo at the six-team district finals. In the gold medal game the Black Rage blasted the Nanaimo Blue Jays 18-4. The Rage sent three pitchers to the hill in that game — Selena Spracklin, Madi Jacobson and Syvanna McNichol — who combined for 13 strikeouts. “It was pretty impressive, The whole group did well,” first year coach Ian Kellow said after, “they got better as the tournament went on.” Their toughest competition this season has been their Parksville counterparts the Red Rage.

6,500 km cycle for MS

Goldstream News Gazette
David Cox has already cycled over 5,500 km for MS and he’s currently adding another 1,000 to his impressive total. The 68-year-old started his third unsupported Van Isle End to End to endMS ride up and down Vancouver Island Friday. “I get to start off going down a hill,” the Colwood man told the Goldstream News Gazette before coasting down his driveway. “Really, the idea was to start at home and end at home.” Originally the then-Torontonian was just “looking for a good organized bike ride.” The next year it got personal when his niece was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis). Within six months she was confined to a wheelchair. Cox organized a team of RBC fundraising riders and now is in his 19th year of MS bike rides. “I’m going to raise money — that’s gravy,” he said. “It keeps the whole concept that this disease does not have a cure and make people aware of it.” When he retired to B.C. in 2005, Cox continued to ride fundraisers and raise awareness, spending three years on the board for the MS Society’s South and Central Island chapter. In 2009, he started the Island ride that became bi-annual after an injury in 2010. The idea is to put his own “blood, sweat and tears” into the effort. “There’s a lot of competing charities out there looking for dollars,” he explained. So Cox packed his 40 pounds of baggage on his 28-pound bike and headed out of Colwood to make his way to Port Hardy and back to Shawnigan in time for the Cowichan Valley Grape Escape MS ride that starts July 6. He’ll do the two-day tour then head home. The primary goal is awareness and respect he feels is lacking in day-to-day life, illustrated by a visit to his niece Leslie a few months ago. “I was astounded at the rudeness of people

who made her stop, made her get out of the way,” he said of his wheelchair-bound relative. “It’s important for people to recognize there’s folks out there who don’t have the quality of life we have. If they want to make a donation, all the better.” Cox encourages people to watch out for the symptoms of the common disease of the central nervous system including blurry vision, fatigue, cognitive issues, paralysis and muscle weakness among many others. He points out the South and Central Vancouver Island Chapters of the Multiple Sclerosis Society merged in January to better address experiencing fundraising and operational challenges and will continue to provide assistance to people in the Parksville Qualicum Beach area through its Nanaimo office. He’s well on track to surpass his $3,000 fundraising goal. To donate visit www.msbiketours.ca and use the “find a cyclist or team” option.
