IMPRESSIVE COMMUNITY RESPONSE
‘Missing’ girl safe at home Neighbours, workers help RCMP
search a Parksville neighbourhood JOHN HARDING
editor@pqbnews.com
A nightmare scenario turned into a good news story Tuesday afternoon when a three-year-old girl was found safe at home after a highenergy search by police and the public. RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman said he was impressed with the response from the public when word got out the girl might be missing in the Sylvan Crescent area of Parksville at 1:40 p.m. Tuesday. Police and Arrowsmith Search and Rescue reacted swiftly and helicopters were seen searching the area, seemingly only 10-20 metres above the rooftops of homes. In the end, the search was called off at 2:45 p.m. when the girl was found safe at home, despite multiple searches of the house by the family and police before the wider effort was unleashed. “She was very small and was (sleeping) in a crack in the couch under a blanket,” Foreman told The NEWS. “She woke up as if nothing happened.” Foreman said he was impressed with the response from the public. He said residents living near Sylvan Crescent and the Mark’s Park area came out of their houses right away and joined the search, along with some construction workers and roofers who were busy in the area.

Stilwell responds JOHN HARDING
editor@pqbnews.com
Michelle Stilwell has read the letters to the editor and comments in other media critical of her absences from this region while she competes on the world wheelchair racing scene. The Parksville Qualicum MLA was asked what she thought about those criticisms in an interview with The NEWS this week. “It’s not affecting me because I know I’ve been working hard,” said Stilwell. “We’ve been helping constituents for the past couple of months.” See MLA, page A9

Still no answers to what’s in the safe JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com
The mystery of the safe continues. Despite the efforts — provided free of charge — by Island Lock owner Aaron Weikom, the safe found when the old Thwaites Norris building was demolished last week in downtown Parksville would not give up its secrets Tuesday afternoon. Weikom figured out the combination, but it seems time (about 80 years) has rusted the safe shut. A representative of the Thwaites family, Jill Bonnell (nee Thwaites), and a member The NEWS team, were on hand Tuesday afternoon for the opening, but it didn’t happen. The safe was discovered Aug. 14 when a crew from Parksville Heavy Equipment was demolishing the old building at the corner of Hirst Avenue and the Alberni Highway, which is owned by the Vancouver Island Insurance Centre (VIIC). The VIIC remains open for business just around the corner on Hirst while constriction of a new building continues. The insurance centre’s branch manager, Karyn Lehmann, quickly called the Thwaites family about the find on Aug. 14 and handed the save over to Bonnell. Check pqbnews.com for updates on the contents of the safe.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans needs your help. The NEWS has received numerous calls and letters from residents expressing concern about people allegedly overharvesting shellfish from local beaches. A spokesperson for the federal government department that sets the rules regarding saltwater fisheries urges people who believe they are witnessing illegal activity to call their tollfree line. “We are asking for help from the public to prevent illegal harvesting of shellfish,” said the DFO’s Diane Lake. The number to call is 1-800-465-4336. The Parksville Qualicum Beach area is within the DFO’s Area 14. The subareas involved from Nanoose Bay through to Deep Bay (the shorelines only) are areas 14-1, 14-4 and 14-5. The bulk of this shoreline (subareas 14-1 and 14-4)
is closed to all bivalve shellfish except manila clams, littleneck clams, oysters and mussels. Subarea 14-5, in the northern reaches of our region, is closed only to butter clams. Recreational harvesters are allowed to take geoducks in our region, with a limit of three per day, but not in most of the region. Callers to The NEWS have said they have witnessed large groups of people taking geoducks from the Eaglecrest beach at the end of Yambury Road (the access is off Butterball Drive). According to the DFO website, due to sanitary contamination concerns, there is no harvesting of bivalve shellfish in the following areas in our region: Base Flats, Boat Cove, Campbell River, Comox Harbour, Craig Creek, Deep Bay, Elma Bay, False Bay, Kitty Coleman Beach to Little River, Kye Bay, Little Qualicum River, Mud Bay, Parksville Bay, Qualicum Beach, Union Bay, Wall Beach. You can find a table of limits, closures and other information on this part of the DFO’s website: www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/ species-especes/shelltable-tableaucoquilleeng.html See EDITORIAL, page A10

Fortunately, the Zombie Outbreak Response Team raced to the scene and was able to corral the undead visitors before they ate any brains.

THURSDAY SPOTLIGHT: People, places and issues of the Parksville/Qualicum Beach region riding for therapy
More than just a horseback ride The Errington Therapeutic Riding Association helps physically and mentally disabled children, youth and adults develop confidence, stability, body awareness and more. It relies on volunteers and donations. LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com
W
hen Grace Dean enrolled her fiveyear-old son Jonathan in the Errington Therapeutic Riding Association he couldn’t walk, but that changed this year. “Walking is huge for us because he’s about 60 pounds, I can’t carry him anymore,” she said. Jonathan was born with Charge Syndrome, a complex sensory deprivation disorder. He’s also legally blind and deaf, he has a tracheostomy, which means he’s tube fed, and he has development delays. Jonathan was nervous when he first started riding last year. He wouldn’t touch the horse and he didn’t want to put the helmet on, Dean said. “It takes some getting used to but now when he sees the helmet there’s a smile, he knows exactly what he’s doing…he’s excited.” Dean said the riding has helped with Jonathan’s balance, his stability and his confidence, and once he was into his second 11-week he began to walk. He It takes some getting used session, now also pets the horse and to but now when he sees his mane. the helmet there’s a smile, touches The Errington Therapeuhe knows exactly what he’s tic Riding Association (ETRA) doing...he’s excited. opened its doors in 1989 in ErrGrace Dean ington. The association moved operations to Arbutus Meadows in Nanoose Bay and two years ago it moved to Pyramid Stables in Lantzville. The association requires about $50,000 a year to fund two 11-week training sessions, where 40 physically and mentally disabled children, youth and adults get to ride the horses with assistance. The Spring Session, which wrapped up in June, had around 25 per cent of its clients from the Parksville Qualicum Beach area. Jonathan lives in South Nanaimo with his mom and sister. During each session there are five one-hour lessons with a maximum of four clients per lesson. About 50 volunteers are required to run a session. President of the association, Barry Galenzoski, said funding can be a struggle. The association charges a fee to the client for the program, about $16 a ride, and the remaining $37,000 is raised through fundraising and by donors. The Coast Capital Savings’ Vancouver Island Young Leaders Community Council announced a $5,000 donation to ETRA last month. Dean, who is a single mother and works full time, said she very grateful to donors like Coast Capital Savings. “I’m very grateful for the program and the donations are incredibly appreciated because it makes

it possible for [Jonathan] to be able to go.” Galenzoski said since he’s been volunteering with the association, nearly five years, there has always been a waiting list for the program. In fact they’ve had to cut the list off at 20 people. Most of the clients are repeat, he said, and as long as they are developing in some positive manner, they continue with the program. He was involved with a therapeutic riding association in Winnipeg before he moved to Vancouver Island. He said he’s seen the programs make a huge difference in people’s lives, and that’s one of the main reasons he got involved. “You could just see the benefit for the client doing the riding, when you get involved in this it’s so
heart warming to see what goes on there,” he said. Galenzoski said he’s seen children go from nonverbal to verbal, among many other benefits. “It just shocks the parents sometimes,” he said. Coast Capital Savings Credit Union has branches around Vancouver Island as well as Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. In 2012 it launched three youth-led councils to address and support key issues for youth in these regions. Each council is comprised of four emerging leaders 30 years and under, along with four Coast Capital employees. For more on Coast Capital Savings visit www. coastcapitalsavings.com.

“What was clear from the start was community members were not going to rest until the girl was located,” Foreman said later Tuesday in a news release. “It was moving to see every neighbour, resident, construction worker, city employee and child out in the street and in
the parks immediately mobilizing and searching. We are blessed to live in a safe area where neighbours care for one another.” “The community came together like something I’ve never seen before,” Foreman told The NEWS. “In the end, a very positive story.”
Visitors, exhibitors, entertainers, judges, and especially to our volunteers, for helping to make this year’s Coombs Centennial Fair a huge success!! A special thank you to the CHRCO for the use of the Coombs Rodeo Grounds for our parking and shuttle service. Thanks also to the Province of British Columbia for their financial support and to Shar-Kare, CHEK TV, Regional District of Nanaimo and Quality Foods for their generous sponsorship. Thank you also to our corporate donors, event sponsors and fair book advertisers.

wildlife recovery centre responds
Thirsty beaver back in the wild ‘We rehydrated it and kept it overnight’ NEIL HORNER news@pqbnews.com
When Jamie Black cycled past Morningstar Golf Course on Friday, she found a disturbing sight. At the side of the road a cyclist was tending to what appeared to be a creature in distress. “I rode up and saw this animal looking thing and a man feeding it,” she said. “I thought something was wrong. I got closer and saw it was a beaver. The man had put water in a dish. He dribbled the water into the dish and the beaver was barely drinking at it and then it
started clawing at the dish to get more water.” Robin Campbell and an assistant from the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre was soon arrived on the scene to take charge of the beaver. After an examination, Campbell said the animal was in fairly good shape. “There was nothing wrong with it,” he said. “We rehydrated it and kept him overnight and then we released him. He was happy to go on his way.” Campbell said he believes the beaver was run off by more dominant beavers, as the animals are very territorial. The beaver was released in the woods far from any golf courses. “It’s a good news story,” he said.

Central Island residents hoping to do some camping on the weekend got some good news from the Coastal Fire Centre this week.

Effective at noon on Tuesday, campfires will be permitted from Courtenay north. The campfire prohibition remains

Stilwell, a multi-gold-winner at the Paralympics, recently competed at the world championships in France, where she won two gold medals and set a new world record. Stilwell said she has been busy attending a number of local events, including last weekend’s Kidfest in Parksville where she stood in as emcee. She said a number of local issues have been keeping her busy, including the
newly-opened Oceanside Health Centre and the ongoing saga of the possible re-start of passenger rail service on the Island. “I’ve been pretty focussed on learning my role as MLA,” Stilwell said. “I’m trying to get a feel for whatever is going on — the more we talk with people, the more we learn.” While the phones haven’t been hooked up yet, Stilwell’s Parksville
constituency office is open on the 1200 block of the Island Highway, in the same shopping plaza as Serious Coffee. Stilwell won election as a B.C. Liberal Party MLA on May 14 in a landslide, trouncing her nearest opponent, the NDP’s Barry Avis, by more than 3,500 votes and garnering more than 50 per cent of the popular vote in the constituency.
Raffle at QF helps stroke recovery group The Parksville Quality Foods store held a successful raffle benefitting Oceanside Stroke Recovery. The three winners of Quality Foods gift cards were recently announced:
First prize ($100) went to Angelika Robillard of Qualicum Beach, the second ($75) was donated to the food bank and S. Chambers of Nanoose Bay won third ($50).
Employees and local stroke survivors send out many thanks to everyone who purchased tickets and Quality Foods for sponsoring the raffle which will help with therapy.

A shell game
T
here have been a lot of letters to the editor and stories written this summer about shellfish harvesting on the beaches of Parksville Qualicum Beach. Some residents believe — and there’s no reason to doubt them — people are illegally harvesting shellfish, especially the huge and elusive geoduck. The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) suggests people call their toll-free line when they suspect illegal activity (1-800-465-4336). We understand there are cutbacks and finding a conservation officer — either provincial or federal — is no easy task. These few officers now have large regions to patrol and many duties. Often, when a business or government agency can’t afford real people any longer, they ramp up their websites in an effort to partially fill the gap. The DFO website has a lot of information but it’s very difficult to navigate. We’re talking maps and layers and tables and overlays and, well, just finding where you can or cannot harvest shellfish is a half-day chore. And that’s if you’re web savvy. Unfortunately, the people who take what they want, in the amounts they want, with no regard for the species or sanitary closures or red tide warnings, don’t likely read rants like this or pay attention to websites or warnings. We hope their stories don’t end with sick or dead family members or friends, but that’s not out of the question. Nor is the endangerment of certain shellfish species out of the question if this illegal harvesting continues. Oldtimers in the area will remember a time when pit-lamping was allowed to catch herring, which almost destroyed that fishery and forced a closure for many years. Relying on residents to tattle is no way to handle conservation. The DFO needs to do a much better job, for the sake of residents (aka the taxpayers who fund the department) and the species it is charged to protect. That means up-to-date signage at every beach access, an easier-to-navigate website and more on-the-ground staff (summer students from marine biology courses?) during the busy summer months. If federal officials bury their heads in the sand beside the geoducks on this issue, it may spell the end of a fun, educational and tasty part of life in Parksville Qualicum Beach. — Editorial by John Harding

Letters Gay outraGe ironic Don’t you love irony? It’s almost as amusing as its close cousin, hypocrisy. Lately, there’s been nothing more entertaining than listening to Bible-toting politicians spluttering in indignation at Putin’s new ‘hateful’ anti-gay law, which, upon examination, actually pales in hatefulness when compared to their own Biblical Mosaic law which condemns homosexuals to death. (Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”) One would assume that these poster-boy Christians would be congratulating Putin for at least giving a nod to the anti-gay teachings of their Bible. Instead, we see these pious politicos berating Russia’s intolerance and grinning for the cameras in Gay Pride parades. Love that irony. Thank God we’re atheists. Fern and Laurence Wayman Qualicum Beach
railway reckless If our new federal transportation minister Lisa Raitt is at all well informed, she would be well advised not to press for a new contract between Via Rail and ICF (E&N Railway). With the poor condition of the tracks and trestles being well documented, VIA Rail’s culpability in the event of an accident involving injuries or property damage would be undeniable. Running passenger or freight on this line without proper restoration would be tantamount to reckless en-

dangerment. So really, the question for taxpayers is: do you support spending over $100 million to restore the E&N Railway and then further agreeing to large annual subsidies?
what we deserve
Make your past your present: This is the slogan of the Alberni Pacific Railway. As expected our grandson Luke also became an enthusiastic passenger as his brothers did in previous years. This time there was a prelude to this event, connected to the railway station is to be found a 100-year-old Buick-McLaughlin automobile and yes… in excellent running order; as well trucks and other interesting mobiles were on display, like a cement three-wheeler turning 360 degrees. After we arrived from the train ride and were greeted and instructed by James the tour guide and offered delicious cold water we marched towards the Mclean Mill National site. We listened to his funny and most entertaining explanations regarding the sundry historical buildings on this venue and I expected an invitation to follow of walking to the small theater for some excellent entertainment as offered before. To my surprise and disappointment this was not happening due to reducing the overall cost of this excellent event. The thought came to my mind that it would be wonderful if this missing part could be filled through volunteer entertainers in future.
Our system is becoming so convoluted that we cannot even suggest democratic responsibility without sending up with red flags of disrespect or worse. Don’t get me wrong, striving to improve oneself and compete at the level that athletes like Michele Stilwell is doing is truly amazing and commendable. This does not, and I repeat does not, allow an elected delegate to multi-task at the expense of their elected responsibilities. No person can multi task, that is a misnomer. A human being can only do one thing at a time and while doing one thing, other options are not being done. Driving and using a cell phone is an example. That is why we have divorces when too much time is spent making money or at the bar and not enough time is spent at the home fires. Ultimately, we get what we deserve. All things even out. If we are too weak to stand up to injustice, we get injustice. If we think things are just fine, things will not change. When we vote we get what we deserve. This does not, however, overshadow our responsibility to improve our electoral system or to not hold our elected representative’s feet to the fire. I never won any athletic medals of excellence. I was always too average, not “athletic” enough or too “not athletic” enough to really win anything. I simply worked hard most of my life and many times at two jobs trying to improve one’s life and make a better place for future generations. To lower the expected standard of trusted elected positions out of convenience, is a very bad thing to do. This I know to be true.

Thursday, August 22, 2013 The Parksville Qualicum Beach News Recipes by Carrie Powell Davidson
Good food for me is local first. Eating local food not only ensures the freshest and most nutritious food available, it also means I am supporting our local farmers and food producers so they can continue to grow for us. Add into the mix that this food is available right here and that means no long distance travelling. The environment likes that! Because local food tastes so great just the way it is, I don’t have to add a lot of fattening ingredients to make a delicious meal. Many people ask me the secret to my weight loss program and that is the answer....clean, local food!
B.C. Spot Prawn Asian Stir Fry Cooking spray 1/2 local red pepper 1 local onion 1 cup assorted local greens (chard, kale, spinach etc.) 100 gms. (6-8) B.C. Spot Prawns-shelled, raw 1 Tbsp.

Only lOve matters A young man died this month. It was a stark reminder of how fine an edge we dance our whole lives between life and death. It was an accident. The details are meaningless. His life, however, was not. That is what matters. I did not know this young man except by association with my child. My daughter was with him and other close friends when the accident occurred. I have read and heard a countless number of similar stories over the years. I have lost family and friends myself. Yet this is the first time I have felt such a tremendous sense of loss. The first time I have really experienced the magnitude of grief that such a loss is capable of. Yes it is, of course, that but for chance, fate or divine intervention it could have been my child. We spend our lives exposed to love in its many forms. We fall in and out of love. We long for an idealistic version of it. We experience the joy and pain it brings to our lives. We can conceptualize how it is for others. We believe we understand what love is. Then we have children. Until then I don’t believe we can even remotely understand the strength and depth of what love is. It is overwhelming in its power and lasts forever. It is unwavering, unconditional and nothing can dampen it. And unlike all others in our lives a child becomes the one thing we can’t bear to imagine losing. We can prepare for the loss of a parent, a sibling or a spouse. I think we do that even subconsciously as we know instinctively life on earth is not eternal. Yet we can’t do this for our children, it is too painful to even contemplate. As I stood with others waiting and hoping for a miracle ending to a tragic day, holding my daughter, witnessing the grief and loss of others involved, it was a vivid reminder of the magnitude of love we each have for our children. For the first time in my life I also realized what it meant to lose a child. It could have been any of the young people in the group, my daughter included, that the accident befell.

I was struck with a heartrending grief for the parents, grandparents, siblings and family that had to endure such a tremendous loss. I felt a terrible guilt at the relief that it was not my child. A helplessness to offer even the slightest word of support to the family. It seemed anything would be trivial in the face of their grief. I will be eternally in awe of the strength and character that the young man’s family showed to each other and to the young people who were with their son at the time he perished. By seeing that strength I also realized why their son was so well loved by his family and peers. So often children are a reflection of the love and example of their parents. While no words or actions will ever erase the loss, I hope that the love, strength and faith that went into creating such a special young man will also sustain the family in this time of loss. I also saw the great love and support among his young friends, and hope, somehow, that will help them all get through this terrible time. So often we allow our daily lives to overshadow the truly important things in life. We forget to pause and reevaluate, to ground ourselves, to reflect on the good. Perhaps others take this pause more regularly than I. I will endeavor to do it more often in the future. For today my heart goes out to all those who feel the loss of a friend, a relative, a son… For today, and also hopefully repeatedly in the future, I will try to use love as a guiding force to live my life. I will try to share that love with others so they might live the same. I also feel a great debt of gratitude for the men and women who responded to the accident. RCMP, Search and Rescue, Parks Staff and Victim Services personnel who went about their respective tasks with professionalism and sincere caring and support for all involved. You all made a difference. The young man’s name was Lukas Whibley. There is no meaningless life, love ensures it, that is what matters. Mike Chestnut Parksville
School District 69 (QUALICUM) STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE To Parents/Guardians: The Qualicum School District does not insure expenses for student injuries that occur on school grounds or during school activities. Those expenses are the responsibility of the parent/guardian unless the School Board is proven liable for an injury. Therefore, the Board of Education encourages all parents to obtain student accident insurance, either through their own insurance agent or through a private insurance plan. The Board of Education provides the opportunity for families to voluntarily purchase private accident insurance through the IAP Kids PlusTM plan underwritten by Industrial-Alliance Pacific Life Insurance. During the first week of school, all students will receive a brochure containing information about the voluntary insurance plan and extra copies will be available at each school. The information and registration form can also be found on-line at www.iapkidsplus.com. Board of Education School District No. 69 (Qualicum)

t may have been just another transaction at the deli, but boy it irked me. The woman in front of me at the deli was ordering her dinner and there was not a single please or thank you to be had in the whole conversation. She might as well have been typing in answers at the bank machine for all the humanity she showed the poor girl behind the counter. I don’t think I’m too much of a rebel when I suggest there’s a place in social interactions for basic good manners. Really. You don’t have to be a Prissy Purepants to have good manners. They work for everyone. Think of it from an entirely selfish point of view if you must. Displaying good manners makes people like you more. They’re even useful if you’re soul is pure evil. Because they make people like you more, it’s easier to manipulate your victims when

It is now perfectly OK in the Horner household to drop the bomb, but only if you were being swarmed by bees. This was later amended to include finding yourself covered in leeches — my own personal horror.

f a boat is going to break apart at sea, says Dick Lennox, it’s most likely to happen when it falls off a wave and slams into the trough of a wave. When that happens, he said, the seam between the hull and the deck can peel off, turning the boat into a giant seawater scoop before it goes to the bottom. That’s not going to happen to the Katharine de Montrose. Lennox made sure of that when he built the unique 45-foot junk-rigged sailboat. Rather than a deck seam, he used two layers of fibreglass that wrap the entire hull, making her seamless and sturdy as they get. “It was a labour of love,” he said. “It was 30 years in the making in my backyard in Winnipeg.” Katharine de Montrose was launched in Lake Winnipeg and sailed there until a drought dropped the water level to the point where the ship could no longer be launched. At that point, Lennox decided to move to the coast and he and his wife sailed her for the next three years out of Vancouver before moving her to French Creek three years ago. For more on this boat, check out the Life Network’s show, Magnificent Obsessions, which details how and why he built it. It can be accessed at www.locatetv.com/tv/magnificent-obsessions/1900534.

QUALICUM BEACH TOWN COUNCIL NEWS
Serving Parksville & Qualicum Beach Region
Crosswalks deemed priorities Illumination and countdown timers coming to Fern Road LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com
Six transportation projects labelled high priority will now get underway in Qualicum Beach as well as changes to traffic signs. Council approved the recommendations by staff at a Monday night council meeting. The six projects in the Age Friendly Transportation Plan were awaiting approval of funds from ICBC, which will cover $22,500, while the town covers the $61,000 remaining. A Traffic Sign Review was undertaken by an engineering consultant and a list of approved changes include changes to speed limits, as well as the relocation and removal of unnecessary signs to make the existing ones more
effective. Coun. Tanner disagreed with some of the suggestions in the report, especially the ones pertaining to the deer on the road signs. “The deer warning signs, they have to stay, In fact I think that they should be expanded to say something to the effect of ‘see a deer expect three.’” Coun. Willie said he agrees deer is a problem, but he doesn’t think locals need to see a sign five times a day to tell them that deer is a problem in Qualicum Beach. “We need to get rid of some of these signs, we’re just a sign-ville out there to the point where you’re not reading them.” Coun. Luchtmeijer agreed, saying the engineering consultant did an excellent job of “uncluttering” the community in the report. Some of the changes in the Traffic Sign report include restoring the 50 km/h speed limit on Memorial Avenue (from 40 km/h), implementing a
uniform 60 km/h speed limit between Hemsworth Road and the Island Hwy, (instead of the existing 50 km/h and 70 km/hr), and increasing the speed limit to 70 km/h on Rupert Road between Hollywood Road and the Railway tracks. A number of deer warning signs will also be removed and Stop Ahead signs, where the stop signs are visible to approaching motorists. The following six traffic projects, marked as high priority, will be implemented: Pedestrian countdown timers at Memorial Avenue and Fern Road, an illuminated crosswalk at Fern Road by Quality Foods, a special crosswalk at Village Way and Hemsworth Road, and a special crosswalk and centre median at Highway 19a and Bay Street. Also a special crosswalk, curb extensions and centre median will go in at Memorial Avenue and Garden Road, and Cats Eyes will be replaced, or fixed throughout the town.

Whether Kim Burden secures funds to implement a business attraction marketing strategy in the region is still up in the air. Qualicum Beach town council has asked staff to develop a fee-for-service agreement before it approves the $10,000 in funding Burden is seeking. A motion approving th funding is expected to come at the next council meeting Sept. 9 Burden, CEO of the Parksville and
District Chamber of Commerce, has been visiting councils trying to get funding to implement the Oceanside Initiatives project for a regional Community Information/Business Attraction Marketing Strategy, which is meant to attract “lifestyle entrepreneurs” and bring more young families and jobs to the region. Burden and the Chamber of Commerce needs $60,000 to implement suggestions of a study completed in December of 2012 by Vann Struth Consulting Group. Burden told Qual-
icum Beach town council at a July meeting that he can secure $30,000 from the Vancouver Island Economic Trust provided those funds are matched — $10,000 each — by the Regional District of Nanaimo, the City of Parksville and the Town of Qualicum Beach. Burden got the $10,000 commitment from Parksville last month. Coun. Mary Brouilette said Qualicum Beach has already been working on these type of programs and putting money into them for four years.

BC FERRIES
Bonuses send ‘wrong message’ Incentive pay for brass rose when extra subsidy created surplus Jeff Nagel Black Press
Join us on Facebook! Go to pqbnews.com
See the Facebook icon on the top left of the page.
Despite rising fares and looming service cuts, top executives at BC Ferries still collected big performance bonuses this year. President and CEO Michael Corrigan got a $64,421 “incentive payment” on top of a base salary that was up eight per cent to $364,000 for a total of $563,000 in overall remuneration – the maximum allowed after a cap on payouts was put in place last year. BC Ferries’ executive compensation disclosure says Corrigan’s bonus reflects his “exemplary leadership” that was borne out by the corporation beating its financial target for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Chief financial officer Robert Clark got more than $133,000 in incentive pay and executive vice-president Glen Schwartz got an extra $127,000 based on performance. Both of their bonuses were
almost twice as high as a year earlier and the two collected close to $500,000 overall. None of the payouts are anywhere near as high as the more than $1 million that former CEO David Hahn received in some past years until he left the corporation and the government eliminated additional long-term bonuses and imposed the compensation cap.
The only reason they got their full bonuses was because the government provided that increased service fee NDP CRItIC NICHOLAS SIMONS
Managers were eligible for their full incentive pay this year because of the $15-million surplus BC Ferries posted for last year. In the previous two years, they got only half as much incentive pay because the corporation missed its financial targets. But NDP critic Nicholas Simons said the new surplus is a fiction because of the $21.5 million in additional subsidies the province injected. “The only reason they got their full bonuses was because
the government provided that increased service fee,” Simons said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone wasn’t available for an interview but issued a statement saying the executive payouts send the “wrong message” at a time when BC Ferries is struggling to reduce its expenses. He said he will speak to the BC Ferries board to outline the province’s expectations for all executives at Crown corporations. “While BC Ferries isn’t a Crown corporation, they do receive provincial government funding and we would expect them to follow suit,” Stone said. “Government is tightening its belt, along with many British Columbians, and I believe that BC Ferries should take the same approach.” Simons, however, said the BC Liberals have had plenty of time to act. “Four ministers in a row have been saying how disappointed or disturbed or shocked they are when they see this exorbitant compensation,” Simons said. “The reality is they’ve done nothing about it.”

drinking and driving
Krog wants driving bans reviewed
Court ruling quashes a roadside driving ban, NDP want whole process to be overhauled Jeff Nagel Black Press
The NDP's justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for reviewing roadside driving bans imposed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling. Leonard Krog said the government should proactively offer to re-review other cases if the procedure for weighing challenges turns out to have been incorrect. The B.C. Supreme Court this month quashed one roadside driving ban that had been upheld in the review process, deciding a report setting out guidelines for use of alcohol screening devices was inadmissible. Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more roadside prohibitions to be appealed. Krog said the government must be scrupulously fair in how it handles challenges of the penalties, because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the roadside by police, not a judge. “In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is something we all share, it doesn't mean you get to disregard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process,” he said. “It clearly opens up the possibility of many other people asking for judicial reviews.” Government lawyers are still reviewing the implications of the overturned decision. But Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-year-old legislation underpinning the Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. “When you have a new program, you can expect that people are going to take runs at it,” she said. “But fundamentally, the legislation remains very sound.”
Black Press file
RCMP officer performs a roadside check for drivers who may have consumed alcohol.
Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohibitions are issued each month and just two per cent on average are successfully challenged. Alcohol-related fatalities have plunged 51 per cent since the expanded system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago — replacing criminal prosecutions of many impaired drivers — and the government estimates 143 lives have been saved. Anton said the regulations continue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and then driving. “People understand the immediate serious consequences that flow from that.” Drivers who get an Immediate Roadside Prohibition can lose their
driving privileges for up to 90 days, have their vehicle impounded and face hefty fines as well as costly installation of an ignition interlock device in their vehicle. Documents recently disclosed under Freedom of Information show drivers who challenge their rulings to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles aren't told if the screening device used to test them was later found to be inaccurate. They’re merely told their driving prohibition was deemed invalid, without provision of specific reasons, usually weeks after the vehicle was impounded and the licence suspended. The province pays towing and storage bills of appellants who are successful.

Fond Farewell
4-H travels to Victoria
Visitors from New Brunswick had an enriching experience here AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com
A group of Parksville/Qualicum 4-H members recently said goodbye to their new friends from New Brunswick as their exchange ended. Nine local members took part in the Canada 4H Youth Exchange Program and flew to New Brunswick to stay with a 4-H family for a week. They toured the area and had a great immersive experience getting to know
the people and culture, according to local 4-H Horse Club Leader John Hildebrandt. “They enjoyed such sights as the Confederation Bridge and the historic Acadian Village, depicting Canadian life in the 1700’s. Then, the New Brunswick 4-H members came here and stayed with local families and toured the area, seeing things like Mt. Washington, Tofino, Cathedral Grove, McLean’s Mill and Little

INFORMATION ALDEA MAYA Assistance for Mayan Families Society, Notice of Annual General Meeting, Sept. 5, 2013, 7pm, 266 Crescent Road, Qualicum Beach, BC.
Survived by the Love of her Life: Charles MacIntyre Survived by her children: Tracy, Austin (Tammy), Jodi and Bronwynn (Jim) Survived by her grandchildren: Caitlin, Logan, Ryley, Zachary, Caleb, Sarah, Maeghan and Caiden Survived by her brother: Keith Dagg (Deborah) Predeceased by her sisters: Velma and Anne and her brothers: Raymond and Lyall Kay was a beautiful force of nature. She was born into a world-class champion curling family and left as a champion lawn bowler. She approached every experience of her life with clarity, focus, talent and the drive to excel. Kay was elegant and smart. She was compassionate, strong, loving and funny. Kay could ride a horse, teach Scottish Country dancing, kayak the Baja, sail the Gulf Islands, own a successful business, renovate a house into a home, backpack Australia, live in New Zealand, explore Mexico, play the ukulele, feed an army and take care of her family with pride and all of her heart. She did all this with the Love of Her Life, her husband, Charles, by her side. Charles asked Kay to waltz one night 43 years ago and they have never been far from each other since. Theirs was a true fairy tale love story that will go on forever. When she learned, out of the blue, that she had mere days until her beautiful and full life would come to an end, her keen instincts as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend shone through as she used these precious hours to share stories of how grateful she was for her life, Charles, family and friends - a true testament to her grace and bravery. Kay truly lived. She loved life and all those who shared in the adventure with her. She wished us all to Love Deeply and Pay It Forward. And We, in turn, Love and Like Her Forever. Our sincere gratitude and thanks to Leah, Vi, Pat and Carmen - Palliative Care Nurses at NRGH A celebration of Kay’s life will be held in early October at the Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club.

Marilyn Lily
(Benner) Minton October 16, 1936 - August 15, 2013 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Marilyn, beloved wife of 6 decades to John (Tom) Thomas Norsworthy Minton; much loved mom to daughters, Pamela (Minton) Henderson, of New Brunswick , her husband Patrick and their children; Patricia, Jeremiah, Joshua, Delano, Amelia, Jemimah, and Annabelle; Susan Minton Green, of Surrey, BC, her husband Dennis, and their daughter Sydney; Catherine Minton Leonard, of New Sarepta, Alberta, her husband Jim and their children Jason, Ashley and Megan. Marilyn was born and raised with her brothers, Ken (Nancy) and Jim Benner in Calgary, Alberta, where she meet and fell in love with Tom. They raised their family in Calgary, spending many happy weekends and holidays camping and fishing the wonderous backcountry of Alberta. Later relocating to Edmonton for 15 years where they spent many hours cross-country skiing the long cold winters. Finally, realizing their dream to early retirement to Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island. Besides being a ferocious reader, Mom loved to sing and we all recall how she would put on South Pacific records and belt out the tunes while cleaning house! Marilyn was privileged to share her great love of theatre and music with the community, throwing her heartfelt energy to the Echo Players, singing with the Noteworthys and lastly plucked strings with the local ukulele group where they entertained many. Marilyn was a great friend, a loving and supportive grandma, a hardworking endearing mother who always believed in her daughters, a brick to her loving husband. She will be always in our hearts and sorely missed. Please join the family for a Celebration of Marilyn’s Life, Friday, August 23rd from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at 1059 Eaglecrest Drive in Qualicum Beach. The family wishes to thank the kind staff at the Royal Jubliee Hospital in Victoria, Elizabeth, Sara and Dr. Perchinsky and many others. Please consider honouring Marilyn’s memory by making a donation to the Heart and Stroke Parksville/Qualicum, PO Box 730, Parksville BC V9P 2G8.

ElEctrical union donation
QB Curling club safety improved Defibrillator added, lighting upgraded NEIL HORNER news@pqbnews.com
If a curler is unfortunate enough to suffer a heart attack at the Qualicum Beach club in future, they can thank their lucky stars for Phil Venoit and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Venoit was on hand Thursday to
hand over a new, state-of-the-art defibrillator on behalf of Local 230 to curling club brass, while at the same time passing a cheque to help with an upcoming upgrade to the club’s lighting system. The defibrillator donation, Venoit explained, came after he heard about a IBEW member suffering a heart attack at the facility a few years ago. “He was revived, but it alarmed me and showed the necessity of having a defibrillator on site,” he said, noting the
union will also pay for staff to be fully trained on the equipment. The unit, he noted, is of the latest generation, which actually talks to the person doing the treatment. “If a guy has a heart attack, it will tell you what’s going on with his heart and how you need to respond,” he said. He said he expects staff training to begin within a week. The cheque for $3,777, will cover the labour required for the club to install new energy-efficient lighting.

skim boarding
It’s good Karma hitting the beach
Kat Kellett and her K9 Karma give killer coasting clinic for other skim boarding dogs JAMES CL ARKE sports@pqbnews.com
Talk about your good Karma. One of the tidal pools down at Parksville Bay was the site of a great photo-op for tourists and locals alike recently, as Kat Kellett and her dog Karma, a rambunctious water-loving three-year-old English Bulldog, put on a K9 skim boarding clinic. With the tide out and the sun out, conditions were perfect for the two well-practiced companions, as Kellett, from Parksville, chose a long, narrow, shallow stretch of water ideal for the task at hand, launching one board after another, sending it skittering out across the surface for Karma, who would in turn power her way through the water, run up beside the board, jump on, and clearly enjoy the ride. “She’s working on her steering more this summer,” Kellett pointed out as a small crowd gathered along the edge of the tidal pool, clearly impressed, and explained this is Karma’s third summer skim boarding down at Parksville Bay. “When I got her we knew we had to find a way to exercise her during the summer because it’s way to hot for bulldogs -- they can’t cool down, so skim boarding was the way to go for sure.” Sure enough, Karma took to skim boarding like a duck to water. “She loves it,” Kellett confirmed as Karma stood their panting, looking up at her and waiting patiently for another throw. “You just break it down into a phase process ...one step at a time,” she said when asked how she taught Karma to skim board. “She’d go ‘til she dropped,” Kellett chuckled when asked how long a typical skim session lasts. “I have to enforce breaks. I need breaks.”

Parksville curling club
Duncan dominates Parksville curling A final Parksville Curling Club’s 10th annual Summer Bonspiel is in the can, and like the winter rains, the start of league play is just around the corner. “It went really good,” event co-chair Jim Hoffman said after, pointing out there was “some very good curling, there were a couple of six enders scored.” In Sunday’s playoffs it was an all-Dun-
can A Event final with Wes Craig knocking off the Kondal rink. In the B Event final Hozak from Nanaimo edged Parksville’s Cheryl Noble. Parksville Curling Club ice maker Tim Kottsieper and company won the C Event final with a win over the Dave Douglas rink from Powell River that in-
cluded dad, two daughters and second cousin Ron Boag from Parksville. The Stechishen’s from Red Lake, Ont. — a dad and son who here on the Island for the Four Foot curling camp in Parksville — teamed up with two local ladies (Eileen Leachman and Judy Pearson) to beat the Ray Michell team from Comox. Last year’s A winner Randy Veitch
from Comox failed to make the prize table getting beat Sunday morning. NEXT UP: Parksville Curling Club league play starts Sept. 30 and the club is always looking for new players. For more information go to www.parksvillecurling. com. — James Clarke

Track and field
Riva takes the 1,500m event Kwalikum Secondary grad Thomas Riva brings home two medals JAMES CL ARKE sports@pqbnews.com
Oceanside standout Thomas Riva is back from the Canada Summer Games where he capped off his season by taking gold in the 1,500m event and silver in the 800m. Simply put, “Thomas had an outstanding meet,” confirmed Oceanside Track and Field coach Kim Longmuir. Played out Aug. 2-17, the 2013 Canada Summer Games were held in Sherbrooke, Quebec, where more than 1,200 of our country’s best competed in 17 sports.
Riva wasn’t available for comment, but the Kwalikum Secondary School grad was in great form at the Games where he was competing in Athletics, and was a force in the 1,500m when he lopped three seconds off his personal best time for the win at 3.45:87. In the 800m final last Friday he finished second in a time of 1:48.91. He’s currently ranked fourth in Canada in the 800m. In both events he qualified for the finals out of a field of 22. Thomas, 21, is heading into his fourth year at UVic where he’s majoring in engineering.

In a sure sign of things to come, Oceanside Place was hockey camp central last weekend, as some 80 female players ages nine-17 were put through their paces as part of Rocky Hockey Training. For camp founder and head instructor Dominique Di Rocco, the turnout “was super encouraging.” Dom, 26, is from Port Alberni and played hockey (she was a forward) from the age of 10-24, playing most of her minor hockey career out of Nanaimo. She played Midget with the North Island Stars, a AAA team made up ofd players Duncan North to Port Hardy, and went on to play for the Red Deer College Queens in the ACAC and then transferred to UBC after two seasons and played two seasons with the Thunderbirds. “I’ve been doing camps for girls with friends on a small scale for the last four summer and I decided I wanted to take it to the next level... I think it’s important,” she said, explaining “female hockey numbers (on the Island) have taken a hit the last few years and that was why I started Rock Hockey.”
I’ve been doing camps for girls with friends on a small scale for the last four summer and I decided I wanted to take it to the next level Dominique Di Rocco
Di Rocco, who does a lot of development work on the Lower Mainland for different associations, flew out last Sunday for Clarenville, Newfoundland to run a camp for a week out there. “I’m pretty excited to see the East Coast of Canada — it’s definitely an exciting opportunity for me.” As for the first-ever Rock Hockey camp at Oceanside Place last weekend, about 50 per cent of the camp were local girls. “It’s exciting to see that type of turnout locally.” Helping out at the camp, which featured dryland and on-ice sessions, were local female players Marissa Jordan and Rock Hockey regular Celine Tardiff, 17, also from Parksiville, now playing and attending school with the Okanagan Hockey Academy and a member of the 2013 Team B.C.

Bearclaw returns Freeride Spectacle Returns to Mtn. Qualicum Beach local Darren Berrecloth returns to the Island with more than 30 of the world’s best freeride mountain bikers for the Bearclaw Invitational Slopestyle this weekend, August 22-24. The sixth Bearclaw Invitational takes place at Mount Washington Alpine Resort, giving athletes one of the last chances of the season to accumulate points in the Freeride Mountain Bike (FMB) World Tour. Currently, Brett Rheeder of Canada is holding onto the top position with Sam Pilgrim of Great Britain and Martin Soderstrom of Sweden trailing close behind. “The course this year features a significant increase in the size and setup of the dirt jumps,” Berrecloth said. “I removed most of the wood and brought in more dirt. There’s also a new entry point into the course to give riders another option for dropping in.” Riders are competing for the biggest Bearclaw prize purse to date with $35,000 up for grabs. Pro qualifiers are Friday with the finals Saturday, Aug. 24 at 1 p.m. There is also an amateur compe-
tition for the up and comers to try for a spot in the pro contest. They will get a chance to break in with the pros on Friday at 2 p.m. There will be a who’s who of the FMB World Tour vying for the top prize at the Bearclaw Invitational. Slopestyle is considered the cutting edge of the sport of mountain biking. Progression and raw talent are on full display as riders take to the air and pull amazing tricks. Best of all the Bearclaw Invitational Slopestyle is free for all spectators. For more information and to check out the full event schedule check bearclawinvitational.com. Rounding out the weekend is the B.C. Cup Downhill Race which brings competitors back to Mount Washington’s legendary Monster Mile downhill track Sunday. The race is open to everybody from Pro/Elite to those seeking to have fun in the citizen racing categories, and everything in between.

Bubbles, food and music at the beach Annual Beach Club event to feature local B.C. and international sparkling wines as well as regional food LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com
Drink up the bounty of the region at the fourth annual Bubbles on the Beach August 31. The Beach Club Resort in Parksville hosts the event, which will include roasted suckling pig, ethically farmed seafood from Qualicum Beach’s Island Scallops, handcrafted island cheeses, and of course B.C. wines and bubbles. General manager at the Beach Club Resort Shawna Broekhuizen, said she created the event to bring new tourism revenue to the Parksville Community. “Why not showcase this beautiful setting and what our ocean produces, paired with the finest sparkling, with a fish-to fork concept and have an event?” she said. In years past the event has hosted close to 300 people featuring local vendors and wineries. Eighty per cent of the wine, including the sparkling variety, will be from B.C. at this year’s event, including Dirty Laundry, Ex Nihilio, the German-style Wild Goose and Blue Mountain Brut. There will also be some Italian prosecco and Brut from the Chablis region of France, along with a few surprises that Broekhuizen will saber herself. Nanaimo’s Wellington Secondary Alumni jazz band will create the mood, with some special guests. The Beach Club Resort’s executive chef Rick Davidson will sizzle up his famous seafood bake while Gordon Food Services erects a prawn wall along with some local seafood ceviche. Floral eye candy will be provided by Parksville florist Petal and Kettle and artisan chocolatier from the Comox Valley, Hot Chocolates, will bring the sweet treats. For some added flair, event-goers will see intriguing body painting by Samantha Rae Body Art and a martini luge sculpted out of ice by Andrew McTavish. Tickets for the event are $99, for more information visit www.beachclubbc.com.

The Fourth Annual Bubbles on the Beach takes place Saturday, Aug 31.
Helping humanity through a local non-profit society LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com
Maria de Lourdes Pedro Matias has been working as an organic gardener since she was five years old and she wants to share her knowledge with people of this region. Matias started the Terra Divina Society, School of Knowledge this year and she wants to teach and share information at her large property in Errington. Matias is from a small village in Portugal, where she farmed with her family
from dawn until dusk, with no electricity and no vehicles. “That’s what we did just to survive,” she said. “And I have wonderful memories.” As an adult Matias has experienced her fair share of hardship, but she believes that miracles have kept her alive and she feels blessed. While working in Africa she was robbed of all her possessions and money, and left with only the clothes on her back. See Earth domE, page b3

Bard to Broadway Extends Thanks As our 14th successful season draws to a close, B2B would like to sincerely thank the many individuals, businesses and organizations that contributed in so many different and varied ways. Each effort has enriched the live, local theatre experience. Every single “role” is most gratefully appreciated.

Maria de Lourdes Pedro Matias stands in front of one of her large earth domes on her property in Errington, the base for the Terra Divina Society. Continued from, page b1
Earth domes for healing Although her life was threatened, Matias escaped and made her way to her uncle’s home in Toronto, where she was offered a job shortly after her arrival. “That was another miracle, I only had 11 days left {in the country}, ” she said. After she moved to Victoria some years later, she bought a small house where she lived with her two children. But after fixing it up and installing a beautiful organic orchard they all began to cough. Their house was full of asbestos which was making them sick, and they had to leave right away, she said. So Matias moved her family to Errington and started all over, doing things completely natural. She built a stone house and began building organic gardens to heal her and her children. “I’ve worked very hard my whole life,” she said. “I was told all my life that I was crazy, because since I was five years old I’ve been working so hard.” Matias now lives on an 88 acre property in Errington, where she bases the Terra Divina Society. She has five green houses and two large earth domes and she wants to teach people how to organic garden and compost, and share information on things like solar wind energy, solar cooking and using solar lights. She grows tropical fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices and can grow almost anything, she said. She is experienced in healing people, after she saved her

own life with a concoction she created of natural remedies. “I was in tears, in pain, I couldn’t even get up or get in a car without screaming with pain,” she said. “I was dying.” Matias created a 40-day cleanse that healed her, and went on to create cleanses that have healed many other people from around the world, she said. Matias said her purpose is to help humanity, and particularly she would like to work with local children, to teach them to garden, exercise, make instruments from natural sources, and much more. Although Matias wants to help humanity, she also needs help herself, to upkeep the gardening on her land, including irrigation work. She is hoping people will contact her to come garden, heal, learn and play, all for free or by donation. People can take part in Qigong, yoga, meditation or singing in the earth domes, she said, and the domes can also be used for teachings by others. People can call Matias to make an appointment to come to the property at 250-248-4110 or email terradivina88@gmail.com. For her part Martias just hopes to improve the lives of others, she said. “I have so much love in my heart,” she said. “This is my sole purpose.” Visit www.lourdespedromatias.com for more information.

TENT EVENT

Ramping up the hall: David Malek poses just before cutting the ribbon on the Errington Hall’s new Universal Access Ramp during Hi Neighbour Day Aug 17. Malek spearheaded the project that was led by volunteers including Pickard Construction.
Author reading Amanda Leduc, author of The Miracles of Ordinary Men, will be in Parksville for an event at The Mulberry Bush Bookstore on August 24. The National Post called the new book “a beautiful read” and Library Journal called it “a lyrical, powerful tale of good and evil.” The Miracles of Ordinary Men is about a man growing wings, a woman finding God in pain and fury, and a destiny that will show them both light in the most unlikely of places. The quests of the protagonists, Sam and Lilah, invite readers to think about our tendency to question religion—or reject it outright—and the blurring lines between “God” and “atheism.” Amanda is also the co-founder of Bare It for Books, a calendar of nearly-nude Canadian authors (including the likes of Yann Martel, Dave Bidini and Vincent Lam), the proceeds from which will be donated to PEN Canada. The event takes place Aug 24 at 1:30. —NEWS Staff

Local artist Ros Ross has a series of acrylic beach scenes at a Qualicum gallery LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com
Over 40 years ago, when artist Ros Ross was being interviewed for a teaching job in Canada, she was offered two positions: one in Fort St. John and the other on Vancouver Island. “I didn’t have a clue about the geography,” said the Wales native, who was being interviewed in London. “And I said, ‘so tell me what the difference is,’ and he said, ‘one is wet and the other is cold.’ And I said, ‘I know all about the wet, I’ll take the cold.’” Ross spent 32 years as a teacher in Fort St. John before retiring to Qualicum Beach 13 years ago. Now a member of the local chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Ross has won a number of awards of excellence for her paintings. Her acrylic pieces are currently hanging for sale at The Gallery @ Qualicum Art Supply. During Ross’ teaching years, one of her favourite subjects was art.
“I just loved watching the imagination of the kids come to life on paper,” she said. Ross was an art lover, but had never painted anything herself, until a friend suggested she take an art class with her. Ross said the results were somewhat of a miracle, because she created an oil piece with depth, light and composition. But it wasn’t until she moved to Vancouver Island that she continued her painting journey. Today Ros enjoys painting with oils, and particularly likes to capture the colours and movement of the sea, and the contours of flowers. “I became fascinated with the shapes of flowers and what people call ordinary flowers, like snap dragons, which are actually quite extraordinary,” she said. Ross took an acrylic workshop in the spring and decided this summer she would create snap shots from local
beaches. She takes her camera down to Eaglecrest beach or other local beaches and just watches, she said, capturing images for her series. And although she thoroughly enjoys her time on the seashore, she doesn’t regret her choice to move to B.C.’s North 45 years ago. “I really enjoyed my time in the North, it was a great place to work,” she said. Ross said she goes through a process every time she paints and it all starts with an initial idea she wishes to convey on the canvas. At some point she reaches a stage where she becomes very frustrated with the piece, she said, and has to work her way through that. But once she arrives at the end of the process it’s very rewarding, she said. “I get to the point where it’s another mark, and another mark, and then that’s it. And it is very exciting.” View Ross’ acrylic beach paintings at The Gallery @ Qualicum Art Supply, located at 206 W 1st Ave.
