TOURISM

‘The best July ever’

Weather, improved economy play role in what looks like a good season for local operators JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com

The season is weeks from ending and there are no solid numbers to reference, but those in the know say this has been a good year for tourism operators in Parksville Qualicum Beach. In fact, according to Blain Sepos, some are saying last month was “the best July ever.” Sepos, the executive director of the Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association (PQBTA), said the hot, dry weather in July (zero precipitation for only the second time in the region’s history) likely played a role in how busy it was here for hotels, restaurants and other tourism-related businesses. “The first couple weeks of July are normally somewhat soft as families get their summer vacations in gear,” Sepos wrote in an e-mail to The NEWS. “This period was much stronger than anticipated, likely due to the fantastic weather we enjoyed then.” “I’ve heard varying reports about July overall — people saying everything from being up a few per cent to the best July ever.” The president of the PQBTA board, Robynne Shaw, lives the numbers every day in her job as general manager of Sunrise Ridge Resort. “We’ve had a good summer here,” said Shaw. “I think people are feeling better about the economy and more likely to have a holiday this year than they were the last couple of years.” Shaw also said she has seen the return of more visitors from south of the border.

Many owners and their pets showed up to do paw print paintings, musical mats and bob for sardines in non alcoholic “dog beer,” among other games and activities.

PROPOSED COAL MINE

Raven proponent cites support JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com

Compliance Coal continues to work through the application process for a proposed mine near Buckley Bay and the company’s CEO says the project has support from local residents. CoalWatch’s John Snyder told The NEWS recently the Raven project “doesn’t have any social licence, never has, never will.” Compliance CEO Stephen Ellis

doesn’t see it that way. “Most people here would like it,” Ellis said this week. “Most people I talk to ask me when we are going to start this mine. I get a letter a day from people who are interested and want to put in an application for a job.” Ellis also said he hears from six potential suppliers a week who are also wondering when the project will get started.

On its website (www.theravenproject.ca), the company says it expects to hire up to 200 workers during construction and create up to 350 full-time jobs. The underground operation would be centred about five kilometres west of the Buckley Bay ferry terminal. That’s less than 50 km from downtown Qualicum Beach. See PARTNER, page A7

Paying it forward after getting a hand ‘I have no idea who it was’ JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com

A Good Samaritan helped Parksville resident Gord Campbell last week, so he immediately paid it forward. Campbell was in the check-out line at Thrifty Foods recently and when it came time to pay, he found he didn’t have his credit card on his person. He left the $38 dollars worth of groceries at the counter and went to his car to see if he could locate his card. “Out came the cashier with my two bags of groceries,” said Campbell. “Some Good Samaritan in line paid for my groceries. I have no idea who it was.” Campbell, who has lived in Parksville since 1967, used his good fortune to help others. He said he went almost straight away to the Salvation Army and donated $38.50 to the food bank.

Correction Eileen Magee of the Meadows and Wilma Van Dyk of Parksville were mis identified in our Aug. 20 Views in the News photos. We apologize for the error.

Laurette Dimmick celebrated her 104th birthday at Stanford Place on Sunday.

104th BIRthDAY

Celebration at Stanford Place JOHN HARDING

editor@pqbnews.com

Laurette Dimmick says she has no secrets, no tips or pointers on how one could reach the milestone she did Sunday, her 104th birthday. Dimmick celebrated her day with family, cake and fellow residents at Stanford Place in Parksville on Sunday. “I don’t know what’s keeping me alive,” she said. Alive she certainly is. Dimmick has her own laptop, which she uses to keep in touch with family members, especially her five great-grandchildren. She remains more alert than many 30 or 40 years her junior, with a twinkle in her eye and an ease of conversation that belies her years. Dimmick was born in Alberta in 1909 and moved to Vancouver at the age of five. She’s been in Stanford Place for about five years.

A newspaper could be filled with a list of the changes Dimmick has seen in the world since her birth, but she did mention the moon landing in 1969 as an event that sticks out. She also said she has taken real notice of the changes in the way people communicate. “It’s a totally different, new language, this computer talk,” she said. There wasn’t any one thing Dimmick could point to that explains her longevity, no special drink or activity. “I have a wonderful family,” she did say. “And the people here (at Stanford Place) are very good to me.” And what does this 104-year-old enjoy most these days? “I eat a lot,” she said. “It’s my greatest pleasure.”

CAMPFIRES AND OPEN BURNING

Province rescinds ban

Effective at noon on Monday (Aug. 26), the campfire ban in the Coastal Fire Centre — which includes Parksville Qualicum Beach — was rescinded due to a decreased risk of wildfires, according to the provincial government. Campfires now will be permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre. The public is reminded that campfires cannot be larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure that the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area. Category 3 open fires are permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre jurisdictional area. A Category 3 open fire is a fire that burns material in piles larger than two metres high by three metres wide, windrows or grass over an area larger than 2,000 square metres. Any person lighting a Category 3 open fire in the Coastal Fire Centre must comply with burning regulations and must first obtain a burn registration number by calling 1 888 797-1717.

Seeking signatures for a vote LISSA ALEXANDER

reporter@pqbnews.com

Lasqueti Island resident Kim West can legally use marijuana to treat his pain, but that’s not why he attended Dana Larsen’s marijuana referendum tour in Parksville on Friday. “What really got me out of bed and over here, it’s the mandatory sentencing, it’s total bull,” he said. “The wasted costs — the court costs, the policing costs — and just to think that my children could go to jail because they have a joint. That’s stupid.” West was among a small group that gathered at Smitty’s Restaurant in Parksville to greet Larsen on his tour, which is making 15 Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast stops in six days. Larsen is promoting a campaign to hold a marijuana referendum next year to decriminalize the drug. He said he’s hoping to attract canvassers to help collect signatures, starting Sept. 9, from 10 per cent of the registered voters in every electoral district, within 90 days. The HST referendum campaign is the only one ever to succeed in getting enough signatures to force a vote. The legislation is called the Sensible Policing Act, which would stop B.C. police from making searches or arrests for the possession of marijuana by adults. The Act wouldn’t impact any of the laws around trafficking, possession for the purposes of trafficking, or cultivation. The Act would also take initial steps toward legalization, calling on the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition so pot could be regulated and taxed in B.C. Larsen said that possession charges have more than doubled in the last six years in B.C. and that the province’s police spent about twice as much time and money as the national average dealing with marijuana possession. “I think that marijuana and drug-law reform is one of the most important social issues of our time,” he said. Larsen said it is the right time for B.C. to make a change. It’s only a matter of time before places “begin to break,” he said, starting with decriminalization and then legalization. It’s already started in Colorado and Washington, he said. West said he switched to marijuana from his morphine prescription to treat pain surrounding his protruding vertebrae. He finds there are no residual effects like stomach pain, teeth grinding and mood swings when he uses marijuana. The stigma surrounding pot use over the years has resulted in many people with pain not considering marijuana, he said. And a new trend, juicing raw cannabis, can have big health benefits without the psychoactive effect, he said.

The Town of Qualicum Beach is working to protect the foreshore from erosion.

QUAliCUM BeACH

Erosion posing large threat Town engineer says work is intended to disrupt the wave pattern NEIL HORNER news@pqbnews.com

Erosion on the Qualicum Beach waterfront due to sea-level rise is a serious concern, says town engineer Bob Weir, but the municipality is taking steps to deal with it. Weir made the comments in light of an ongoing project to repair erosion at a site next to the Brant viewing area. “It’s a soft-shores restoration project to deal with some of the storm damage we had last winter,” Weir said. “It’s a cobbled storm berm of large beach rock to try to protect the actual shore-

With the summer and tourist season winding down, work on Highway 19A will commence in Parksville. The $2 million widening and upgrading of the highway on the west side of town started in April but paused through the height of the busy summer.

because of its geographical location. “It’s really quite a large threat,” he said. “If you look at the exposures and the shoreline, there are long stretches no matter which way the weather comes at us, northwest or southeast, and a lot of material can move around.” Weir said the project must be completed by Sept. 1, which is when the fisheries window closes. A previous soft shores restoration project involving anchoring logs several hundred metres up the beach was only partially successful, he added. “We realized what the weakness in that system was and we intend to do the restoration there, too,” he said. “There was a connection to the logs that failed, but we have good cable.”

front of the park, as well as beach replenishment with sands and gravels.” The approximately $65,000 project will also involve the construction of what Weir called headlands in the mid-tidal area. “The intent is to disrupt the wave pattern and dissipate the energy before it hits the beachfront,” Weir explained. Although the brant viewing area is located close to Highway 19A, Weir said the roadway itself was not at risk from the erosion, although storm damage caused a year earlier had proven more problematic, as water and hydro utilities had been immediately adjacent to the erosion. Weir said shorefront erosion is of particular concern in Qualicum Beach

“We’re just gearing up now to start work on Sept. 3,” said director of engineering Vaughn Figueira. Knappett Industries is contracted to complete the work by the end of October, but he said he suspects they will be done a week or two before that. The project is widening about 800 metres from Moilliet Street to Rush-

Figueria said the traffic signals, which have already been installed, will be one of the last things to “come on line.” Watch www.parksville.ca/cms.asp?wpID=452 for more information.

dunKinG FoR A Good cAuSe: Parksville Qualicum Beach News editor John Harding reacts after one contestant missed a chance to dunk him during Hi Neighbour Day in Errington last weekend. Harding spoke too soon though, and hit the water numerous times as people paid $1 a throw in an effort to raise money for the Errington Volunteer Fire Department.

Bookings strong throughout August continued from page a1

“Our U.S. market is up, mostly from Washington, but more varied this year — Maryland, Texas — it hasn’t just been people from the Pacific Northwest.” Sepos said there were concerns the Labour Day weekend falling so early

this year could hurt the local industry. “Concerns over an early Labour Day and its impact on the last couple weeks of August as families redirect their attention to back to school preparations

sound like they may have been unfounded,” said Sepos “A number of accommodations have indicated that inquiries are strong right up to the end of the month.” Labour Day is Monday, Sept. 2.

Rainbow innocents

hat were the politicians of Russia thinking? Clearly, they were not. If you are a government that wants to bring attention to something, ban it. How did that prohibition thing work south of the border 100 years ago? Worked pretty well for gangsters. Long before anyone has even lit the torch, it’s clear the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia will be the gay Olympics. Russia’s so-called leaders have ensured that with their draconian, anti-gay laws they say they will enforce during the Games. The laws, as we understand them, are as stupid as they are discriminatory. What’s even dumber is the timing for the pronouncement of these laws and the stance Russia wants to take during the Olympics. Even if President Vladimir Putin and others thought they could get away with putting people in jail during non-Olympic months for whatever they deem to be outward signs of homosexuality, what made them think they could pull this kind of garbage when the whole world is watching? If Putin and his cronies want to go down the path of intolerance, want to bury (please forgive the use of this word) gay-ness, they could not have picked a worse time to do it. No, these will be the Gay Games, for certain. And why not? Putin has opened the door wide open for criticism and demonstrations and blatant disregard for his ridiculous laws. When you tune in to the Olympics in February, you will see more rainbows painted on the nails, bodies and uniforms of athletes and spectators than you could imagine, and power to them. (We cling to the belief members of our national men’s hockey team will not put rainbows anywhere on their uniforms, but that’s only because of our old-school pride about not messing with the iconic red-and-white. Those uniforms should be accessorized only with gold.) Provided no one gets hurt or sent to jail, we suspect these Olympics are going to provide some serious laughs. We can imagine photographs of, say, two male spectators, from whatever country, full of local vodka and purposely kissing in front of a Sochi police officer. It would be even more funny if they weren’t gay but were still arrested for this public display. Sure wouldn’t want to be the Russian judge chosen to sort out that mess. In the end, we hope we can laugh through the Olympics over this issue and not be subjected to scenes of burly police officers carting away rainbow-clad innocents. — Editorial by John Harding

Letters The GayesT Games For once I agree with the Waymans. You’ve got to love the hypocrisy regarding the gay community’s reaction to Russia’s recent anti-gay laws. Where was the moral outrage from George Takei when China was awarded the 2008 Summer Olympics? Are the human rights abuses of that country somehow less petition-worthy? And should countries with blatant anti-gay cultures (Uganda, Jamaica, Saudi Arabia) be banned from the Games altogether? Where do we place the moral gauge? Should Canada be barred from hosting the games given its treatment of aboriginal communities? Or maybe, just maybe, we should strive to keep politics out of the Olympics. For in the past, the combination of the two brought us everything from the tragic (1972 Munich) to the self-defeating (1980 Moscow, 1984 Los Angeles). Either way, we cannot advocate for the rights of a special group, while marginalizing the plight of others. Wasn’t it communist atheists who introduced the concept of all rights being equal, but some are more equal than others? Love that irony. Thank God for athletes. John Chambers Parksville

damaGe in The dark Re: Editor John Harding’s editorial in the Aug. 22 edition of The NEWS (‘A shell game’). Many readers may not be aware that the worst damage is done at night. Nanoose flats is an area being systematically stripped. If you drive by between midnight and 4 a.m. in the early months of the year, you will see parked vehicles, lights on the beach and people dragging huge sacks back to their vehicles. I have noticed this for at least the past four years. It is amazing that there is anything left on the beach. I’m not sure what the answer is. There is no enforcement in the daytime, let alone the middle of the night. angie PriCe Qualicum Beach

shades of pink The Parksville Lawn Bowling Club would like to thank all those within the community who helped make our recent Shades of Pink Tournament in support of local cancer patient care such a rousing success. Over $2,800 was raised in this one-day event and it wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of the following: the

many local businesses who provided goods and services, the media (paper, radio and television) who gave us great coverage, the men of the club who fed us so well, the women of the club who played their hearts out through the tournament, Julie Sabiston who provided the beautiful artwork, Martin Fereday who brought umpiring to a whole other level last week, and of course, Janys Milne (aka Miss Pinkie), the guiding light behind this whole project. All these local people helped to make this event such a success and we are grateful to all of them. Thanks to all. Carol buCyk Parksville

phoTo insensiTive I was really ticked off, to say the least, when I saw The NEWS reporter taking a photo of the young people outside the community centre in Qualicum Beach where the service for one of their friends was going to take place. To see her standing up on a cement wall, behind hedges, peeking around at the kids, was beyond rude and insensitive. The photo in the August 20 paper shows just how broken up the kids were; it wouldn’t help for them to see someone lurking behind the bushes taking their photo. Or maybe the looks on their faces also reflected their feelings about being photographed in this way and at this time. It’s one thing to have community support and positive thoughts, which is why there was a service there, quite another to use media in such an insensitive way.

Writing secrets of Elmore and Bill

ne of the head scratchers about English literature is the number of famous books around that nobody reads. Did you read last year’s winner of the Man Booker Prize? Neither did I. Do you even remember who it was? Same here. A lot of people, myself included, bought a copy of Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses. Did you ever try to read it? My begrudging compliments to the psychopathic mullahs who laid a death threat on Rushdie for writing it. Whatever their sins they managed to read enough of the book to be outraged. James Joyce is lauded as a prose master but if you threw a party for everyone who honestly made it past page 14 of Finnegan’s Wake, two large pizzas would probably cover your food requirements. Most writers appeal to a narrow slice of the audience. Ezra Pound’s Cantos

Parksville Toastmasters bump it up a notch New club will allow public speakers to take their skills to the next level Parksville is now home to an exciting new club — Mid-Island Advanced Toastmasters. There are now two Toastmasters clubs in Parksville and each club is going strong. There is a real interest in this community for all that Toastmasters offers; leadership and communication skills and a supportive environment to become more confident about speaking in

public. Advanced clubs are for folks who have achieved their first level of skill at a regular club (Competent Communicator) which is the first 10 speeches (each speech project teaches a fundamental skill). Mid-Island Advanced Toastmasters began in Parksville many years ago, moved to Nanaimo for a few years and has now relocated in Parksville in order to draw

experienced Toastmasters from Campbell River, Courtney/Comox, Port Alberni, Parksville/Qualicum Beach and Nanaimo. We meet every other Saturday morning at the Parksville VIU campus. The next nearest advanced club is in Victoria. Toastmasters from all around the mid-island will be coming to Parksville for advanced training and opportunities, while remaining members of their regular clubs. This is exciting for Parks-

ville, as it will now gain a reputation as the go-to place for speakers wanting to get to the next level. Mid-Island Advanced Toastmasters shares many members with Arbutus Toastmasters here in Parksville and will be planning some joint events this coming year. Arbutus meets every Monday 7 p.m. sharp at 132 Jensen. For more information, contact Kirk Walper at 250-228-4275. — By Toastmasters

Drivers urged to keep school children in mind BC Transit’s Safety and Training team is taking the time to remind more than 3,000 transit operators across the province to be

‘ear for dialogue’. Leonard shrugged. “People always say, ‘Where do you get your characters’ words?’ And I say ‘Can’t you remember people talking or think up people talking in your head?’ That’s all it is. I don’t know why that seems such a wonderment to people.” But wonderment it was in Elmore’s hands. His fans are legion. One of them wrote of the novel Glitz: “This is the kind of book that if you get up to see if there are any chocolate chip cookies left, you take it with you so you won’t miss anything.” Chap named Steven King said that. As for writerly advice, Leonard kept that sweet and simple too. “Don’t go into great detail describing places and things” he advised. And my favourite: “Try to leave out the parts that readers tend to skip.” Writers, there you have it. Now go and write a classic.

ART WORX GALLERY IN QUALICUM BEACH

Buying these works could help a nurse

Local woman with South African roots trying to help an aspiring nurse in her former country LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

Jo-an Peters has a deep connection with South Africa and its people, and she’s hoping an art exhibition in Qualicum Beach will help her continue her work there. Peters was born in South Africa but has lived in Canada since 1967. She worked as a physiotherapist before completing a masters degree in epidemiology and biostatistics. At the age of 68, she completed her PhD and has been working most recently as a researcher focusing on prostate cancer and helping those who suffer from the disease. When Peters finds time, she works on her art, both painting and sculpting. An African art show, held at the Art Worx Gallery in Qualicum Beach until Sept. 1, will have two sculptures and one mixed-media piece from Peters, and the rest of the paintings are by an African artist called Selesho. Peters’ sculptures are made with paper mache bases, they are bronzed in South Africa and then finished in Arizona, where she and her husband spend part of their year. Peters returns to South Africa regularly, where she and her husband have been putting two black children, a brother and sister, through school for the past 12 years. Now one of the siblings, Yvonne Ngcobo, is entering her second year of nursing school and Peters needs to raise some funds to pay the fees. She has put together the local art show of her Seleshos work, with all the proceeds raised going towards Ngcobo’s last year of nursing. “I’m trying to raise $3,000,” she said. “That’s what I need to get her through the up coming school year.” Peters described Ngcobo as a “tenacious little girl” who completed her school certificate even though she had a fractured pelvis and was bedridden leading up to the finals. She wakes every morning at 4 a.m. to get an hour of studying in before she leaves home. Transportation costs are extremely expensive for Ngcobo, Peters explained. Peters acquired Selesho’s work from a physician friend of hers in South Africa. Salesho didn’t have the money to pay for medical care in South Africa and instead paid the doctor with his artwork. The doctor is a friend of Peters’ and mailed her the paintings to use for her cause. There are four framed pieces by Selesho and 10 unframed pieces. The Art Worx Gallery is located at 701 Primrose St. in Qualicum Beach, across from the Liquor Store. For more information visit www.artworxgallery.com or call 250-752-7350.

These children produced and starred in their own film during a camp at the MAC, and screened it for their family on Saturday.

AT THE MAC

Budding film stars, directors Success of program this year might mean expansion in 2014; see video on You Tube LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

Eight budding actors and young film-makers screened their own movie Saturday at the McMillan Arts Centre. It was the first Filmmaking for Kids camp held as part of the MAC’s Artful Kids summer programs. In the five-day camp, the kids developed

the story, created the outfits, and acted as cast and crew, with help from instructor Kerri Brown. Brown said the seven to 11 year-olds did really well and she’s excited to hold the camp again next year. “We are hoping to expand this kind of programming to bring the MAC into the age of digital arts,” she said. The video will be available to view on YouTube as a Raines Broadcasting production. For more on the McMillan Arts Centre and its programs and exhibitions visit: www.mcmillanartscentre.com.

LOCAL BUSINESS PROFILE

Get your flashers and hot pink spoons here Pacific Net and Twine has been doping business in Parksville for 30 years JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com

The experts say this is the best fishing year the Parksville Qualicum Beach region has seen in 25 years. These same experts also have everything you need — and some stuff you may not have thought about — to help you take advantage of this bounty local waters are giving up this summer. “The last five years it’s been climbing exponentially and this year is probably the best they’ve seen in over 25 years, for all species,” said Robert Van Pelt, the assistant store manager at Pacific Net and Twine (1380 Alberni Hwy). The store is huge — about 8,000 square feet — and packed with seemingly everything a commercial or sport fisher would need, from huge commercial purse nets to small hooks to crab and prawn traps. Pacific Net and Twine is owned by the Nakashima family, and has three locations: Steveston, Parksville and Prince Rupert. Parksville has had a store for 30 years, the last 28 at the Alberni Hwy location. “We supply people everywhere, from California to Alaska,” said Van Pelt, stepping in for this interview for store manager Shane Gallop. Honey Shepheard and Mark Hewison have been working at the current location since it opened 28 years ago. Shepheard was asked what changes she’s seen to both the commercial and sport fisheries over the years and how Pacific Net and Twine services them. “We’re twice as big and we deal with way more sports,” said

The staff at Pacific Net and Twine on the Alberni Highway know their stuff. From left are Mark Hewison, Nathan Van Pelt, Honey Shepheard and Robert Van Pelt.

Shepheard. “It was basically commercial when we started. And now, there are less (commercial) fishermen and more government control.” Hewison deals mostly with the nets and they don’t exclusively build them for the water. Hewison said he also builds nets for sports groups like soccer, hockey and lacrosse clubs. Right now though, much of

the staff’s time is centred around helping people take advantage of the red-hot salmon sport fishery in the Georgia Strait off the coast of the Parksville Qualicum Beach. The pink salmon are running now, the Cohos are usually here September-October (but are showing up now) and there was a 43-pound Chinook caught off French Creek last week.

So, we asked, what’s hot, what’s on the end of the rods that are catching these salmon currently. Van Pelt said the “No. 1 killer this morning” is a hot pink TKO spoon about 28 inches behind a plaid, purple haze flasher. With the walls and aisles packed with everything fishing, Pacific Net and Twine is clearly the place to stop before you

hit the water, be it salt or fresh, commercial or sport. “We do business with all sectors — sport, aboriginal and commercial,” said Van Pelt. “Head to toe, we’ve got it all.” Pacific Net and Twine (250248-6953) is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can see them on the ‘net at www.pacificnetandtwine.com.

Whalers playing with heavy hearts Team doing its best to deal with the loss of one of their own in tragic accident JAMES CL ARKE sports@pqbnews.com

It was with heavy hearts that players and coaches of the Ballenas Whalers football program took to the field last week for their first practices in full gear. In their first main practice of the season last Monday, some 23 JV’s and 20 senior players took to the field behind BSS in the wake of the tragic death of Lukas Whibley who played two seasons for the blue and white. “It was pretty heavy. It’s hard to believe — just a tragedy,” BSS teacher and Whalers’ returning head coach Jeremy Conn said when asked about the accident and those first days back out on the field. “Especially for the kids that played with him. There were a lot of questions, a lot of emotions ...what we did was say ‘what would Lukas want?’, and he’d want us to keep going and get ready to play.” Whibley, who died in a swimming accident at Little Qualicum Falls Aug. 9, played for the JV Whalers for one season and on the senior team for one season. He played offensive and defensive line. A good many of this year’s varsity players were teammates of Whibley’s. “We’re just trying to be available and talk to the kids and let the kids know that all the emotions they’re going through are perfectly natural, and just that as a team and a family we really need to support each other. “Great teammate. Great guy,” Conn said of Whibley. “A wonderful sense of humour. He’s the kind of guy you love to coach, and he’s duly missed ...the entire program (both teams) are dedicating the season to him.” See whalerS, page A28

Strained relations ease in mid-Island region

Your favourite newspaper at the click of a mouse ...

www.pqbnews.com

From the pitch comes word all is right again between Nanaimo and Oceanside where soccer is concerned. According to a press release from Oceanside Youth Soccer Society’s Ravi Mohabeer, “in the spring the long-standing partnership between the Oceanside Youth Soccer Society (OYSS) and the Harbour City Football Club (HCFC of Nanaimo) seemed in jeopardy. Today OYSS is pleased to announce that soccer in the mid-Island region is back together again, and better than ever.”

Putting children first, he said this past weekend, OYSS renewed its long-standing relationship with HCFC and it’s newly-elected board of directors. Together we join our new partners Gabriola and Mid Isle (Ladysmith) Youth Soccer on the pitch starting this fall and into the future. “After many months of difficult discussions and changes in direction and leadership, it all came down to how to provide the best soccer experience for mid-Island youth.” “Working together we are stronger MOUNTAIN BIKE HYBRID BMX NEW & USED

and we will offer a high calibre soccer experience right here at home and with our closest neighbours.” “Along with a focus on developing players who love the game, OYSS, HCFC, Gabriola and Mid-Isle will field a joint house league, run monthly mini-tournaments that also include Port Alberni and Courtenay/Comox, and we will continue to field exciting and fun youth-focused soccer programs.” The new house league runs a fall season for players under age nine and the

The lacrosse box down at Parksville Community Park was packed last Friday as 46 players plus family and spectators turned out for the PGOSA Oceanside Pickleball Club’s first ever tournament. A mixed doubles format that ran from 9 a.m. to noon under overcast but dry conditions, games were to 11 points or 15 minutes in length, and each team played six games. “It went great -- very successful,” one pleased pickleball club president Gereth McCaskill said after, adding “the mayor came and threw the first ball and we followed the tournament with a pot luck luncheon.” Finishing first overall and taking home the handmade hardware were Ada Sarsiat and Dieter Giese, while Diane Stoutenberg and Pat McPhalen took second place, and Dianne Kilby and Mike Davies third. Good news for the pickleballers is that the season doesn’t end until Sept. 30.

INFORMATION

June 12, 1946 ~ August 20, 2013 After a long and courageous battle with cancer that included many victories, Dennis passed away on Tuesday, August 20th at the age of 67.

IN MEMORIAM

Rebecca Louise Foster March 2,1975 August 30, 1996 Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on the snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle summer rain. -When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the soft uplifting rush of Quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. So do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die. Mary Frye

Always in our hearts, never forgotten. We love you....Mom, Mike, Dave, Katie, Dustin, your nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles. Thank you for being in our lives.

DEATHS

Mary Luella (Ladd) MacKay October 1, 1936 - August 23, 2013

LOST AND FOUND

Mary Lou MacKay passed away at Qualicum Manor in Qualicum Beach, B.C. on August 23, 2013. Mary Lou will be dearly missed by Vernon, her husband of 57 years, and by her daughter Susan and her sons Daniel (Jody), Lewis (Laurie), and Robert. She will also be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren: Lewis, Ross, Stewart, Jeffrey, Kara, Madeline, Maxwell, and great grandchildren Gabriel and Audrey. Mary Lou was born in Scotstown, Quebec in 1936 to parents William and Mary Ladd. She is survived by brothers Gerald (Madeline), Robert (Barbara), sister Helen Beaupre (Ronald), sister-in-law Audrey Delores (Francis) and predeceased by sisters Betty MacIver (Donald) and Dorothy Parker (Basil). She also enjoyed a loving relationship with her husbandâ€™s predeceased mother and father, Margaret (nee MacLean) and Dawn MacKay of Nova Scotia, and brother-in-law Walter (Patricia). Mary Lou will be missed by her many nieces, nephews, and their families. After raising her four children Mary Lou went on to give of herself to others less fortunate. Mary Lou graduated from the University of Calgary with a BA in Psychology in 1979 and began working for Chilliwack Community Services. In 1987 she earned her M.Sc. in Child and Youth Care Administration from Nova University, Fort Lauderdale. Mary Lou went on to work in various roles as a Social Worker with the Ministry of Social Services, Housing and Child Protection, Fraser Cheam Home Support Society and the Ministry of Womenâ€™s Equality and The Justice Institute of BC. Her contributions to her field have been described by her peers as, â€œdedicated to her clientsâ€? and â€œthe professionalism that she brings to her work is exemplaryâ€?. Mary Lou gave many hours of volunteer time to causes that were supportive in giving quality of life to others. Her compassion extended to: Canadian Federation of University Women; Milner Gardens; Special Olympics; Teaching ESL at a Vietnamese Refugee Camp in Singapore; Suicide Prevention Task Committee Chilliwack; Human Services Advisory Committee at Fraser Valley Community College; Sexual Abuse Advisory Committee; Chilliwack Hospice and Planned Parent Association. Throughout the years, Mary Lou and Vern lived across Canada, as well as in Singapore and Malaysia. They moved to Qualicum Beach in 2003. In Qualicum Beach they quickly joined the Newcomers Club and met many new friends. Mary Lou embraced each change as an opportunity to decorate another home, make new friends, experience and embrace the cultural features of each new city. Whether it was horseback riding lessons upon moving to Calgary or Malaysian cooking and mahjong during her time in Asia, Mary Louâ€™s love of learning was evident in all the years of her life. The family extends their deepest gratitude to the doctors, nurses, care aides, and volunteers from NRGHâ€™s Palliative Care Unit and Qualicum Manor who cared for Mary Lou, and her family, during her long illness. A Celebration of Mary Louâ€™s Life will be held at the Crown Mansion, 292 Crescent Rd E, Qualicum Beach, on Wednesday, August 28th, at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Cancer Society, the Heart Foundation or any charity of personal choice.

Tofino, Ucluelet take on the tour Strong RCMP contingent from rugged west coast SUSAN QUINN Black Press

For the first time in the history of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, both Ucluelet and Tofino are represented by riders from their respective RCMP detachments. Chris Squire, a constable in Ucluelet, started thinking about joining the ride when he spoke with several riders during a stop last year in his community. Ucluelet RCMP Sgt. Jeff Swann, while not a past rider, is a staunch supporter of the Tour de Rock, and he urged Squire to put his name in for a spot on the team. “Jeff is a big supporter of the Tour de Rock,” Squire says. “He’s got four little kids and they all shave their heads every year. He talked me into it. It’s a good cause.” Squire has already raised close to $10,000 for the Tour de Rock, double his original goal. Squire lost his grandmother to cancer, but says he hasn’t had much personal experience with the disease – unlike Tofino Cpl. Andrew Waddell, who along with his wife Vicki and son Justin, have all been diagnosed with cancer in the past few years. Squire’s junior rider this year is Brett Wasylyniuk of Port Alberni, who has been treated for rhabdomyosarcoma, or a cancer of the muscles that attach to bone. Tofino rider Waddell’s journey with cancer has been a long one. The 27-year RCMP veteran was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1997; he had surgery to remove what could be removed, and radiation to try and hit the rest. He still lives with the tumour but says it’s stable. Vicki has had melanoma, or early skin cancer removed, as well as some basal cell carcinomas. Justin was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia when he was only two years old. He went through three years of chemotherapy beGR

tween ages two and five. Justin is now 15 and loves to surf. Waddell said the time is right for him to participate in the Tour de Rock. “The reason I’ve come up with is because I can. I have a family that supports me. We benefited from others and now it’s my turn, so families that can’t get out and fundraise can get out there and benefit.” Waddell’s junior rider is James Albrecht, also from Port Alberni, and also being treated for rhabdomyosarcoma. Waddell met James at the end of July, and says he’s an amazing young man. “It’s pretty astounding to see a young person in week 10 of 55-week chemotherapy bounding around the house like he is,” Waddell says. “There’s guys like James that are living because money from cancer research is keeping them alive.” Because Squire and Waddell both work in small detachments and work opposite shifts,

they haven’t done much riding together outside of mandatory Tour de Rock rides with the northern team. Squire, a reformed mountain bike rider, does a lot of solo rides on his road bike, but says he prefers to ride with a group. Waddell is known as Tofino’s “bike cop,” so he is no stranger to cycling. Waddell cycles 175 kilometres per week between Tofino and Ucluelet for his tour training. “I go up Radar Hill every time I go by it at the turnoff (to Highway 4),” he says. Of course, powering up Radar Hill is nothing compared to what children with cancer suffer through, Waddell says. And that’s why he decided to tackle the Tour de Rock this year. “It is important to celebrate each day, cheer for every success, and not rest until cancer has been conquered.” editor@albernivalleynews.com
