PARKSVILLE MAYOR WANTS ANSWERS

Rail safety in question Chris Burger concerned about trains crossing Englishman River JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com

Two or three times a month, freight trains roll across the bridge spanning the Englishman River. What’s in those box cars? What are the safety conditions of the track and the bridge? What kind of liability insurance, if any, is in play for the City of Parksville if an accident occurs and threatens the city’s water supply? Mayor Chris Burger says he is not getting answers to these questions from the Island Corridor Foundation. Burger says he’s not getting a whole lot of answers to any of his ICF-related questions and he wants that to change. “A number of us (municipal politicians) have lost confidence in the ICF,” Burger said Monday. “We want to become much more involved.” The city has a representative on the Regional District of Nanaimo board of directors, Coun. Marc Lefevbre. The RDN is one of the partners in the ICF project to re-start rail service on Vancouver Island, but Burger said neither he nor Lefevbre can get answers to the questions they pose to the ICF. “I don’t have a clear line of communication any longer with the ICF,” said Burger. “We’ve allowed this to operate too long at arms length and we need to bring it back in.” Parksville council passed a resolution last week that empowers Lefevbre to ask specific questions about liability and insurance coverage related to the portion of track that runs through the city. Council also wants the ICF to confirm in writing that the rails meet all applicable safety standards. Could the tracks be a disaster waiting to happen? Could chemicals or other materials end up in the city’s water supply after a rail accident? “There is a concern that might be the case but I’m not an engineer,” said Burger. “But I’ve walked the tracks.” The project manager for infrastructure improvement for Southern Rail told The NEWS on Monday the track in Parksville and the Englishman River bridge are inspected regularly and meet provincial and federal safety standards.

stArtinG Point Tour gets a boost in QB, school, Thrifty’s If the welcome given to the Tour de Rock riders in Qualicum Beach Thursday was warm, the welcome they got at Arrowview Elementary School was positively ecstatic. The Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock riders streamed into the town square in Qualicum Beach just past noon to be greeted by a small crowd of well-wishers and an address by town crier Len Mustard. Cpl. Jesse Foreman said the support the riders have been shown on the tour, sponsored every year by Black Press, has been remarkable and heartwarming. After a traditional lunch at Bailey’s, courtesy of owners Len and Cindy Thomson, the riders mounted up again and headed to nearby Arrowview Elementary School, where students waved coloured swatches of fabric and gave a rousing cheer as the riders pulled up. In a brief address to the young throng, Foreman made it clear why the riders were working so hard. “We are all fighting together to help kids with cancer,” he said. “We want to get rid of that. Even one kid with cancer is too many.” Foreman was presented with a cheque for $400 which was raised by the school. The tour then proceeded to Parksville, where they made a stop at Thrifty Foods, where they received a cheque for $5,290 and a speech from Phil St. Luke. “When Jesse was 10 or 11 we had WWE wrestling in the yard and he’s still my hero today,” St. Luke said. “I’m proud of each and every one of you guys, working your butts off, no matter what you go through.” — Neil Horner

You may notice quite a few people with larger foreheads after several head-shaving events in Parksville Qualicum Beach Thursday after the Tour de Rock rolled into town. At a Rotary Beer and Burger fundraiser at the Quality Inn Bayside Resort in Parksville, Corporal Jesse Foreman of the Oceanside RCMP shaved his head for the cause and in just one night raised $4,300. Foreman, who is part of the Tour de Rock team currently cycling from one end of Vancouver Island to the other, introduced his fellow teammates and shared some stories from the road before he went bald.

Foreman is among the top three fundraisers on the team of 22 riders and he expressed his gratitude to a number of his supporters when the team was in Parksville last week. And while Foreman nears the end of the 14day epic journey, having reached his $25,000 fundraising goal, he admitted he has struggled at times to keep his spirits high. Foreman said his heart is heavy because on day two of the tour he found out that his junior rider has had a setback in his battle with cancer. Everyone on the Tour de Rock team is partnered with a junior rider — a child cancer patient or survivor, for a kind of mutual-mentorship. Foreman’s junior rider is five-year-old Lucas Wetklo of Nanaimo and Foreman said the news of his outcome came as a shock to him. “We just found out that the cancer has moved to an area of the body where they can’t operate. They thought the cancer was gone. They can’t remove the tumor so they are keeping him stable and comfortable,” Foreman explained. See PARKSVILLE, page A9

DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGES DEBATE IN PARKSVILLE

Chamber paints dire picture Business group says community has reached a ‘critical phase’ JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com

JOHN HARDING PHOTO

FIELDS DRIVE-THRU?: A driver smashed her car through the window of the Fields store in downtown Parksville on Thursday at 11 a.m. Fields employee Chelsea Miller, above, said she was at the other end of the store when she heard a loud bang. No injuries were reported.

An increase in development cost charges would be a signal from the City of Parksville that “we are not open for business,” says the executive director of the local chamber of commerce. Mayor Chris Burger says he’s not surprised by the chamber’s stance. The City of Parksville recently announced it was going to have a look at increasing the charges developers must pay for services the city must supply to news homes and other types of development. At one point, word out of city hall was DCCs could be increased by more than 40 per cent, which would put the city near

the top of the list of the highest charges in the province. “Given the decline in construction activity in the past four years it is our opinion that an increase in DCCs would be a further signal from the city that we are not open for business and that the work done over the past few years to smooth relationships with the development sector would be undone by such a move,” Parksville and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Kim Burden said in a news release, adding that “the community has reached a critical phase in its development and that a focus needs to be placed on attracting suitable developments to our community.” In response, Burger said it’s early days in the DCC-increase discussion. “Given that this is the chamber of commerce, it’s no surprise that this is their position,” said the mayor. “But we’re still far away from coming to a conclusion as to what the DCC rates will be.” Burger said the city needs to increase revenue to reflect “the reality of the cost of infrastructure today. Council is truly between a rock and a hard place here. There’s never a good time to raise any fee.” Burden said given the decline in building the past four years, the chamber is of the opinion that an increase in DCCs would see a further reduction in building activity, with the resulting decrease in revenue from DCCs to the city. “This could necessitate a tax increase to ensure the required revenue,” said Burden. “An increase in taxes is a certain revenue stream while an increase in DCCs is dependent on the number of new developments and would be reduced by a reduction in developments.” “It is the chamber’s position that a DCC increase in the current market and economic climate will most certainly further slow development and that the city’s projections will again be much higher than the actual revenue received from DCCs,” Burden continued. “We recognize that increased taxes are never popular but are a necessary method to pay for large capital expenditures.” Burger said he is hopeful all voices will be heard in the debate. “The message is to work together and come up with a balance that will allow our community to progress,” he said. “We’re not going to push this forward without significant consultation.” Burger said council could have a new DCC bylaw ready to send to Victoria — it’s one of the municipal bylaws that must pass the muster of the provincial government — by the end of the year.

“We are preparing a formal response to the mayor,” said Don McGregor. “I’m definitely saying it’s safe.” Southern Rail operates the railway on Vancouver Island under contract with the ICF. McGregor said aside from regular, visual inspections, the rails and bridge are subject to annual ultra-sonic testing. Safety standards for passenger and freight operation differ. There are also speed considerations, explained McGregor. “We lowered the freight speed to ensure that we are complying with all the safety standards,” he said, adding that Burger should get answers to his questions this week. There are 48 bridges on the line from Victoria to Courtenay and McGregor said “we have the same concern for safety on all of the bridges.”

An intimate concert featuring David Myles and special guest Joshua Hyslop September 17 at the Quality Resort Bayside was top notch. The show presented by Megan Olsen of Arbutus Events was the only Vancouver Island date on Myles fall tour. Myles is best known for his chart topping hit collaboration Inner Ninja with Canadian rap star, Classified. Myles explained how the collaboration came about and with some persuasion from the crowd performed the song, including the rap portion, which he admitted he had never done before. The crowd loved it and were honoured to be the first ever audience to hear Myles rap. Next up for Arbutus Events is a not to be missed all ages concert featuring Peak Performance Project Top 20 Finalists Towers and Trees and Rolla Olak October 5 at Nanoose Place. An annual jamboree hosted by the Coombs Old Time Fiddlers showcased some wonderful fiddlers and complementary musicians. The weekend included an open jam session which saw many kick up their heels. The jamboree is held annually to celebrate and foster the old time music which continues to be embraced by youth. Take Sarah Tradewell for instance. The young fiddler drove up from Victoria to perform for a packed house at the Coombs Rodeo Grounds on September 21. Tradewell is the current BC Provincial Fiddle Champion. A wheelchair rally at St. Mary the Protectress Church raised $275.00 for Spinal Cord BC September 21. Several able bodied people went on a scavenger hunt in wheelchairs in the Columbia Beach neighbourhood around the church. Bert Abbott the peer program coordinator from Spinal Cord Injury BC said the program helps people with spinal cord injury or related physical disabilities and their families adjust, adapt and thrive in their new lives. The Catholic Women’s League at Parksville’s Church of the Ascension celebrated its 75th anniversary September 26 with a fashion show and tea which featured vintage fashions from 1938 to current day from Close to You Fashions in Parksville. Some of the classic clothes were on loan from the Echo players wardrobe department while others came from church members. According to Sandi Digras of the CWL a wedding dress worn by Rose Marie Hague was her mother’s from 1933. She ordered it from the Eaton’s Catalogue for $5.95. The CWL’s next event is their Charter Day and a workshop called Catch the Fire on October 22 and a craft show and bazaar October 26. The Parksville and District Association for Community Living has been empowering people with disabilities in the community for many years now. Operating out of a building on McMillan Street the group is hoping to find a more suitable building or renovate their current space. Executive Director Barb Read says they have been fundraising for 10 years and hope to move forward with a plan and a feasibility study is now underway. Ethel Metcalfe of Parksville had a happy 100th birthday on September 26. Surrounded by friends and family she revealed the secret to her longevity was a lovely marriage for 62 years. Ethel also pointed out that her sister will be turning 102 in January. “Good genes run in the family,” she stated.

David Myles who is famous for his pop song Inner Ninja which he won a Juno Award for and is now triple platinum plus in Canada was in Parksville for a show September 17. The well dressed musician who is a new dad poked fun at the fact he was now selling onesies as well as CDs at his merchandise table.

Bruce Foden (left) and Philippa Parker (far right) of the Coombs Old Time Fiddlers were thrilled to welcome B.C. fiddle champion Sara Tradewell to their annual jamboree Saturday, September 21 at the Coombs Rodeo Grounds. Tradewell has just released her third album, Till the Green Woods Rang.

Three year old Anastasia Pawlyshyn (left) and Bert Abbott who is the peer program coordinator for Spinal Cord Injury BC were joined by several able bodied people who rolled through the neighbourhood around St. Mary the Protectress Church in Columbia Beach on September 21. The wheelchair rally was held to raise funds for Spinal Cord Injury BC and provide some education through the experience of riding in a wheelchair.

Not too many people can claim they have lived for more than a century but Parksville’s Ethel Metcalfe can. She celebrated her 100th birthday at her home in Parksville on September 26. Friends and family dropped in for an open house at the apartment where Ethel continues to live on her own with support from her loving family.

SCHOOL BOARD NeWS

Student trustees? It’s an idea that’s mandated in Ontario and being tried in Vancouver LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

Whether the local school board will bring student trustees to their table was a topic of debate last week. Trustee Julie Austin brought forward a motion that the board of education explore with local student groups whether they would be interested in being student trustees. And further, if there is interest, that they adopt the policies and guidelines to make it happen. Ontario has mandated that school boards have student representation, Austin said, and Vancouver school board is running a pilot project to have a student trustee on their board. But the idea didn’t fly with trustee Barry Kurland. “To me this is a motion that looks really good on the surface, but I don’t see it really enhancing student achievement or helping the board in its work,” he said. The students wouldn’t have a vote, he said, and couldn’t come to in-camera meetings, and the population of students in Vancouver is far

•TRADE

greater than the population of students in this district, he said. There are other opportunities through local Parent Advisory Committees and community forums where it would be more appropriate for students, he added. Trustee Ross Milligan disagreed with Kurland, and said the trustee’s primary role is advocating for students and having their opinions would be helpful. Acting superintendent Rollie Koop said he didn’t want to speak for or against the motion but challenged the trustees to ascertain whether asking a student to take time out of their schedule and sit in on the meetings, met their needs. “Some of us struggle to be here for three hours,” he said. Austin responded that some of the students in the district are more adult than many adults she knows. “They have opinions, they have ideas, and they should be heard,” she said. Chair Lynette Kershaw said she supported the motion but asked Austin to separate it into two motions, the first to see if there was interest, and the second to adopt policy and guidelines to implement the positions. The motion to gauge interest passed with only Kurland voting against, while Eve Flynn was absent.

COMMUNITY LIVING MONTH: October has been declared Community Living Month by Parksville Mayor Chris Burger and the Parksville and District Association for Community Living got a head start on celebrating the declaration last week with a BBQ and open house. MLA Michelle Stilwell dropped by the centre on Friday to cut an official ribbon for the occasion.

PARKSVILLe CITY COUNCIL

Developers now have extra step One councillor suggested this motion was redundant AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com

Parksville council will now require developers to present “major land use projects” to them prior to the statutory process. The policy was requested by coun. Sue Pow-

ell who was absent, but some of council liked it enough that they passed it unanimously, even though the agenda only called for the presentation of the policy for consideration. The idea is to allow more early conversation between developers and council early in the process, which the staff report said they often get anyway, but has never been mandatory. Coun. Peter Morrison suggested it was redundant since most developers consider it an important step already.

He said the news has put everything in perspective. “We meet a lot of kids with success stories but we need to remember the other stories … and that is what is keeping me going.” The hospitality and the welcomes that have greeted the team in each community it has rolled into is also what keeps Foreman and his fellow riders going. In Parksville alone, the community raised more than $33,000 for Camp Goodtimes which gives young people with cancer the chance to enjoy a fun holiday with other children in similar circumstances. The fundraising event included several emotional head shaves. Oura Giakoumakis confessed that she wasn’t sure about losing her locks, but she decided to do it in honour of her nephew, who is a cancer survivor. Not only did the owner of the Thalassa Restaurant at the Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Course go bald, she raised a huge amount of money ($19,250.50) for pediatric cancer research and programs for children with cancer. Part of the funds generated from the event will enable 600 kids to attend Camp Goodtimes for free. It costs $1,500 to send one child to camp for one week. The camp is a place where kids can put the trials and tribulations of cancer on the backburner for a few days and share in the magic of summer camp with other kids who have lost their hair or limbs. Fighting back against a disease that strikes the ones you love is what motivates Giakourmakis. She and her sister-in-law Kalli Bourodemos know first hand how childhood cancer affects the entire family. Bourodemos has a teenage son who is a Luekemia survivor and who Giakoumakis said has truly been an inspiration. “Georgios has taught us to be strong and we are privileged to have him in our family.

Parksville Qualicum Beach News Publisher Peter McCully, above getting his head shaved by Jason Hall of the Bayside Salon Thursday night at the Bayside, and his team (Joan LeMoine and Dr. Neill Neill) raised $6,900 for the cause. LeMoine alone raised more than $4,000.

cancer when he was two and he is now 14 years-old … 12 years cancer free,” she said. She reported that her nephew is doing well but what the family went through on their cancer journey was difficult. “It was devastating. They lived on the Island and at the time they were going to Vancouver for treatment so they had nobody to go over there. They weren’t able to stay with us so they stayed at Ronald McDonald House so Kalli was by herself. Her husband stayed back here to work and she was over there with her son making all the decisions.” She said it is hard to even grasp what a family goes through and every situation is different. “That is why I support this cause because kids don’t have a choice.” As for Georgios, she said he is in Grade 9 and everything is fabulous. “He is a normal teenager … he has his first girlfriend, plays sports and he is happy.”

Giakoumakis won’t be the only baldy at home. Her nineyear-old son Yianni decided to shave his head for the cause at the Bayside on September 26. He said it is the fourth time he has gone bald to support his cousin. The Grade 4 Arrowview student plans to wear the official Tour de Rock hat he received from team member Andrew Waddell to school unless of course his mom wants to borrow it. In the last four years Giakoumakis and her crew at the Thalassa Restaurant has raised a total of $83,000 for the cause. Parksville Qualicum Beach News Publisher Peter McCully and his team mates Joan LeMoine and Dr. Neill Neill said they were overwhelmed by the support they receives. LeMoine, who has faced the shaving shears more than a few times, generated more than $4,000 resulting in a team total of $6,900. Mon. - Sat. 10:00 to 5:00 SIZES 4 TO 18+

Good old game

t symbolizes, especially for us Canadians, a clean slate, a fresh start, an empty canvas waiting for some artistry. There’s nothing like the moments just after the Zamboni has left the ice, just before the skates of everyone from little boys and girls to millionaires make their distinctive lines and sounds with their blades. While the minor and junior hockey seasons are already in full swing, the big guys take to the ice this week for the start of the National Hockey League season. Call us lemmings if you like, drag out the cynicism and mistaken-priority points if it makes you feel better. Talk about overgrown boys playing a game for millions of dollars while others go hungry or wars wage in parts of the globe. For a few hours today at least, we’d rather think of the optimism, the pure joy, a clean slate of ice and a new season of the greatest game on earth brings. As a community newspaper, we spent time at Oceanside Place, enjoying the cute ones just finding their feet in the blades to the intensity and skill of the Junior B Generals. The clean sheet of ice is also a metaphor. The Vancouver Canucks, for example, are starting a new chapter with a new voice at the helm for the first time in almost a decade. The fiery John Tortorella is the new coach, a dramatically different character from the former bench boss, Alain Vigneault. While there is much talk about Tortorella’s combative history with the media and star players, in the end it’s all about winning in the NHL. And not just in the regular season, when stars like the Sedins have a little more space in the less-intense grind of the long schedule. No, it’s about the Stanley Cup, and while we don’t believe this group of Canucks has what it takes — that window for this collection of players may be closed — stranger things have happened. At least they are still in the conversation for the Holy Grail of hockey, which is more than what many other clubs can say. Closer to home, the Generals are already a fifth of the way through their season, but they are also looking at a clean slate, a fresh start, after a coaching change this past weekend (see today’s sports section). Yes, there are many more important issues, but we ask your indulgence today as we enjoy the optimism of the unscarred ice. — Editorial by John Harding

Letters A CAring Community This district is truly a caring district. All we had to do was say we needed help, our shelves are bare, and once again District 69 puts on their work boots and gets it done. Save-On-Foods and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints both had very successful food fundraisers. As well, local gardeners and fruit-tree owners have kept us in steady supply of fresh fruit and vegetables. Thank you District 69 for helping us fight hunger. Lisa CLason saLvation army Parksville

grumpy At times? In response to Conni Pfeiffer’s letter in the Sept. 24 edition of The NEWS complaining about the negativity of some of the older folks living in Qualicum Beach, obviously these people are at a different stage in their lives than you. Change is hard for some people at any age and can be particularly hard for some seniors to accept. I am guessing that a large portion of these “old, grumpy people” as Pfeiffer calls them, also raised families, worked, had active lives and participated in all kinds of fun activities, just like you are doing now. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, young or old. I am now one of these older people, in my opinion, not grumpy though. I raised a family, worked at a job, volunteered in the community, went back to college and had a very full and at times, fun-

filled life. Would be interesting to see what kind of older person Pfeiffer turns out to be, when her family is grown and gone, when she no longer works out of the home and when, perhaps due to the odd aching bone or two, she can’t be involved as much in all the fun activities that you now participate in. I wonder if she might be a little grumpy at times? teresa shore Parksville

negAtivity A wAste I agree that negativity is a waste, according to recent letter writer Conni Pfeiffer. And here is another waste, according to a grumpy old man, George Bernard Shaw: “Youth is wasted on the young.” Don’t be the poster girl for ageism. Lenore heLLum Qualicum Beach

ChAnged my mind I would like to express a sincere thank you to the emergency staff at the Oceanside Health Centre. I was one of the skeptics who thought this health centre was unnecessary in our community. On Sept. 19, I changed my mind. Our gardener for our complex was stung by a wasp and had a severe reaction to it. I brought her to the recently available OHC emergency. Because of the staff and their prompt, efficient care she was treated immediately and kept for four hours for observation. This could have had a much different outcome had she not been five minutes

Re: Pastor’s Point column by Pastor Tyler Cody in The NEWS of Sept. 19, 2013. As a devout Christian, I attend church every Sunday for the reason to seek forgiveness of my sins and ask for His help to be able to have a good week ahead of me. Other reasons are to be part of the congregation and to give some assistance, like being a greeter and helping to prepare the sacrament. Sunday school lessons help me to better understand the gospel of Jesus. With this increased knowledge, I have a better understanding why we are here on this earth and where we will go when we pass on to the next life. I begin to understand the importance of living righteously in this life in order to receive the blessings promised by our savior Jesus Christ; the gift of eternal life, meaning, living with Him and our Father in Heaven. We have many grandchildren and they all look forward to attending church every Sunday to learn more about their friend Jesus and meet with their personal friends. I became very blessed in my life when I decided to live by His teachings. Why bother? Because by doing these things and trying to live His teachings daily, peace always enters into my life and with this a desire to go to the church each following Sunday.

fundraising fury

The perceptive Pastor sure made a point about cycling in a nicely expressed sentiment (‘How cycling is like faith’, Sept. 26 edition). Reverend Spencer wrote about what a lot of us ‘born again bicyclists’ are experiencing — a return to the pleasures of a bicycle ride for recreation, fitness, transportation and to lessen our collective carbon footprint. Once the crank was added in the 1860’s, the bicycle was the fastest machine on earth and presently there are over one billion bicycles on our planet with some 130 million manufactured annually. As Spencer mentions, motorists and cyclists not only share the road but also the rules. So, as I consider myself one of the ‘two wheeled congregation’ and also a board member with the Oceanside Cycling Coalition (.ca), I cheerfully submit the distilled wisdom of cycling survival: • ensure your bicycle is in good working order. • let your local bike shop get to know you. • obey the rules of the road. Know the ‘Motor Vehicle Act’ and get a copy of “Bike Sense” or go online: www. bikesense.bc.ca.

After donating to various organizations, I also have been flooded with cards, envelopes, calendars etc. I have been sending them back in the mail, but I was told that Canada Post just throws them out. I am so frustrated by this that I am not donating anymore — just to local causes. yvonne houwers Qualicum Beach

Centre is a joke The Oceanside Health Centre in Parksville is a joke. I went for a walk-in visit and spent over three hours there. I left because it was still going to be an hour or two more to see anyone. I saw countless people come and go who also never got to see anyone. They said they only had one doctor on duty and everyone would just have to wait. One doctor? What kind of care unit is that?

I would have gone to a walk-in clinic elsewhere, but the other one in Parksville is closed? It shouldn’t take five-six hours at a walk-in clinic. I will never go back there again. Everyone I talked to said the same thing. Maybe someone should be looking into this because it is a huge problem. They have seemingly 9,000 support staff running around and one doctor. Gord mitCheLL Qualicum Beach

Caring QualiCum

On Sept. 17 at 1 p.m., I was waiting for my husband to arrive at McShane’s Dentist. He was coming behind me, I thought, he was very late, I was becoming very worried as he was on his scooter. Just as I was toying with the idea of going to look for him a sandy-haired, tall, well-built young man brought him, totally out of breath and out of sorts, from the exertion of walking to the office. Tyler — unfortunately I did not get his full name or a telephone number — had grabbed a chair and sat him down. The scooter had just died. They left it where it was as Tyler did not know how to put it into neutral. My husband David was taken in to see the dentist. Shortly after, Tyler re-appeared. He had asked another scooter rider how to get it into neutral and wheeled it up to the handicap spot right outside the dentist’s. Now how is that for going beyond the call of human kindness? On top of all that, the receptionist at the dentist’s office went out of her way to help me make some phone calls, first trying to track my husband down and later to phone Life Support in Parksville to tell them what had happened and where we were. They came within the hour, put a new battery in the scooter and pumped up the rather flat tires. We were able to go home to The Gardens safely without any further incident. This is not the first time some people from Qualicum have come to our rescue. To all of you, a very very big thank-you.

parksville treasure

Coins, but safe empty The Save-On-Gas safe was empty but there was other treasure NEIL HORNER news@pqbnews.com

There may not have been any gold in a safe that was found on the site of the old Save-OnGas building, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t treasure on the property. Parksville Heavy Equipment president John Christie reported that treasure was discovered by Scott Bentzen, who was scraping the soil at the site when he noticed a silvery container. This can was found to contain treasure indeed — 350 silver coins, worth an estimated $2,500. The company, with the help of a local realtor, is attempting to contact all the owners of the property in order to determine who the treasure belongs to. The discovery perked up the ears of Duncan resident Evelyn Beaveridge, who has been wondering about the fate of a similar stash of coins buried by her late father, Bud North. “My father buried my mother’s coin collection on their property in Parksville many years ago,” she said. “Boy, was dad in trouble. They are in heaven, still fighting about those coins.” The treasure, she said, contained many silver dollars and silver quarters. “Every time they moved, dad would bury the bucket and dig it up, some times with the help of his son-in-law and grandchildren,” she said. “They buried it twice in Parksville.” The last time they moved however, her father was unable to locate the stash and the family moved to Duncan without the coins. “Dad would slip into the back yard with a shovel and he dug and dug and dug, but he never did find it,” she said. “It was always a family story — at my father’s expense.” She said it took quite a while for the tale to be told by her mother, Maude North, without an edge to it. “She was just furious,” she said. “She was

madder than a hatter. I guess he thought someone would break into their house and steal it.” The tub, she said, likely has several thousand dollars worth of silver coins. Beaveridge said when she heard about the Parksville treasure being dug up, she thought she had finally discovered the final chapter in their family story. However, she said while the latest coin find is similar to the stash her mother left behind, she stressed in an interview that it was not the same treasure, as it was buried some distance away. “My mom’s bucket was an ice cream pail,” she said. “I thought we had found chapter 10 in the story, but I guess not.”

Nanoose show to feature rising stars Peak Performance Project finalists Rolla Olak and Towers and Trees perform Oct 5 LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

Rolla Olak gained more than a little cash when he found out he made the top 20 in the Peak Performance Project this year. “It’s opened up a support system within the music industry in Western Canada that I never knew existed, and I feel fortunate to live in a place that supports the arts,” said the musician and former Qualicum Beach resident during a recording session in Los Angeles last week. “It’s inspired me to write an ambitious new album and has given me the confidence to seek out the most talented people to work with.” Olak will be performing with another Peak Performance finalist, Towers and Trees, in Nanoose Bay on October 5. Olak grew up in Qualicum Beach and after graduating from Kwalikum Secondary School he moved to Toronto. He was asked to play the guitar in a pop band called Boy, and shortly after they were signed to Universal Music and were touring around the world. The group played shows in New York City, Austin,Texas, as well as a number of locations in Japan. That gig lasted for about five years and then Olak moved to Vancouver and started focusing on his solo career. In 2009 he recorded his debut, self-titled album. Several songs from that album were selected to play in the VBS TV motorcycle documentary Doin it Baja. In 2012 Olak released his second album Western Heart, which he recorded in his homemade backyard studio. The album features duets with Canadian pop songstress Louise Burns. It was that album that garnered the attention of the Peak Performance Project, he said. Since being selected for the project—B.C.’s biggest music competition and the largest radio station project in Canada—Olak has assembled a talented band.

The twenty finalists in the Peak Performance Project receive an intensive one-week training program in the music business, among mentorship from professionals and some live performance opportunities. They each get $3,000 towards career development and the top five groups will receive cash prizes, with the top spot getting $102,700 this November. Olak said he and his band emulate the styles of the great songwriters, like Tom Petty and Neil Young. They are releasing a single today, Tues, Oct 1, called Waiting for You and a free download is available on his website: www.rollaolak.com. On October 5 Victoria Band Towers and Trees will join Olak at Nanoose Place. The group is described as indie folk and their single Montreal was the most highly requested Band of the Month song of all time on the Zone’s 91.3 FM in February. The show this Saturday at Nanoose Place is $15 each or 4 for $50 available from Wilde and Sparrow in Parksville, Coombs General Store and online at www.arbutusevents.ca. Megan Olsen from Arbutus Events and Shelley Beeston from The Soundgarden teamed up to offer the show to the community. The event is being billed as an old fashion, fun hall dance party for the whole family. Beverages and snacks will be available at the show. Doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. The online public voting period for the Peak Project will be October 18-25. For more on Towers and Trees visit www.towersandtreesmusic. com. CONTEST: Win two tickets to the show. Email reporter@pqbnews.com by the end of the day Wednesday, Oct 9 with “Send me to see the Peak finalists” in the subject line. Include your name and phone number. Winners will be notified Thursday.

East Van band hits Errington on country-wide tour Americana folk group The River and the Road making waves in BC after wooing audiences in Australia LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

Band mates Keenan Lawlor and Andrew Phelan were not buddies when they first met. In fact they were competitors. They were both living in East Vancouver competing for the attention of the local open mic audiences. But soon they mended their differences. “At the start we weren’t necessarily best friends,” said Lawlor. “We were both a little bit competitive as far as the music went. But that kind of turned into friendship afterwards.” The two joined forces, quit their jobs and started making music together. They moved into a basement in East Vancouver and started doing shows there to pay the rent. “Two days before the end of the month we would invite everyone over, and we’d pass the hat around and play some music,” he said. And it worked every time. Lawlor and Phelan now make up half of The River and the Road, playing at the Errington Hall this Fri-

day, Oct 4. Lawlor is from Cambell River. He started playing the drums in Grade 10, followed by the guitar and the piano, but four years ago he fell in love with the Banjo, now his instrument of choice. He was watching the Avett Brothers perform at a music festival in Washington and became intrigued with the instrument. “I don’t know, something about it seemed really fun,” he said. “I went into a music store the next day and just ended up walking out with one.” Phelan is from Australia. A couple years ago he was living in Chicago when he decided to either head to Montreal or Vancouver. Because the ticket was a bit cheaper, he chose Vancouver. Little did he know the city would be more expensive, Lawlor joked. Just over a year ago the two brought on drummer Cole George and bass player John Hayes. Last year the group released their debut, self-titled album. Recently The River and the Road has been compared to Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers by UK online

music magazine Record of the Day. They’re undeniable talent, which landed them in the top 20 of the Peak Performance Project last year, has drawn a dedicated fan base from around B.C. and Australia. Last year the group spent over three months performing in Australia. “That was really fun, we had a lot of success and played a couple sold out shows by the end of it,” said Lawlor. The group is starting a cross-Canada tour this week which will take them all the way to PEI at the end of the month. Don’t miss The River and the Road at the Errington Hall this Friday. Tickets are $20 at Cranky Dog, Heaven on Earth in Qualicum Beach, and at the Errington Store. Under 12’s are $5, and under 5’s are free. The show starts at 8 p.m. For more on The River and the Road visit www.tratr.com and check them out on Facebook.

The Parksville Qualicum Beach News Tuesday, October 1, 2013

www.pqbnews.com

Hansel and Gretel this weekend Vancouver Island Opera presents a show catered to all walks of life at Knox LISSA ALEXANDER

reporter@pqbnews.com

Opera is not for highbrow audiences according to artistic director with the Vancouver Island Opera, Tatiana Vasilieva. “That idea that opera is only for a few people—it’s not,” she said. And that’s why I chose this opera.” The opera she’s referring to is Hansel and Gretel, a production that involves both children and adults from this community and beyond and appeals to all ages. This fairy tale opera tells the classic Grimm Brother’s tale in a fun and humorous way. The opera, composed by 19th century composer Engelbert Humperdinck, involves interesting music that is challenging to perform, said Vasilieva, but the talented cast hailing from this area and Vancouver have spent countless hours perfecting their roles. The children’s chorus was compiled by Dolphin Bay Music, with vocal coach Sherilene

Chycosky. Hansel and Gretel will be performed at the Knox United Church in Parksville Saturday, October 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 6 at 2:30 p.m. Vasilieva said it took a community effort to make this opera possible, from the scenery materials which were donated by Windsor Plywood, to the expert building of Jim Branston and the painting work led by Micheline Messner and completed by other talented artists at the McMillan Arts Centre in Parksville. That centre also allowed the space for painting, which took many months to complete. The story of Hansel and Gretel was adapted by a number of opera companies. Vasilieva, who performed as Gretel in the show herself in many cities including Toronto and Vancouver, chose the opera that makes the most sense to her. That’s why the step-mother in the story, who sends her children out to the woods and treats them so poorly, is also the

witch. “A real mother I feel would not do something like that,” she said. “For that purpose I chose the version where metaphorically the mother and the witch is the same woman.” Following the show this weekend the cast will take it to seniors homes around this community and Nanaimo. Vasilieva said she hopes to see a great turnout at the show at Knox this weekend. “I very much hope that the community will appreciate the effort it took to mount this opera and to support us by coming to attend and enjoy the production.” Tickets are $20 in advance from Cranky Dog Music in Parksville and Chocolates Plus in Qualicum Beach. Tickets will be $22 at the door. Children 12 and under are $10. For more information on the show call Tatiana at 250-586-6095 or visit www.vancouverislandopera.com.

Indie roots kick off cafe season Qualicum Acoustic Cafe happens on the first Friday of every month at Rotary House LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

The first Qualicum Acoustic Cafe of the season features an award-winning indie roots chamber folk quartet from Victoria on October 4. They’re called West my Friend and they have won Roots Album of the Year and Song of the year at the Vancouver Island Music Awards. The group plays an acoustic blend of instruments with four-part harmonies. All members were classically trained in the music program at the University of Victoria. The group released a four-song EP in 2011, and last year, their first full-length album called Place.

Currently, the group is trying to fundraise to record a new album, and people can visit their campaign on Indiegogo before Oct. 10 to donate. In return, people will receive things like signed CDs, the new album on vinyl, WMF baked goods, and private concerts. Visit their website for the link as well as music samples and more information: www.westmyfriend.com. The Qualicum Acoustic Cafe happens on the first Friday of every month at the Rotary House, located at 211 Fern Rd West, at the corner of Beach Rd.

PUBLIC NOTICE PROPOSED INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW The Council of the City of Parksville hereby gives notice, in accordance with Section 59 of the Community Charter Act of BC, of an opportunity for citizens and businesses to make representation to Council with respect to the proposed “City of Parksville Inter-Community Business Licence Bylaw, 2013, No.1499”. The purpose of this bylaw is to create one business licence fee for qualified mobile businesses doing business in one or more participating municipality; thereby eliminating the need for businesses to purchase separate business licences for each municipality in which they operate. As an example, if you are a contractor based in Parksville, you are required to have a Parksville business licence; currently, if you also wish to do business in Qualicum Beach or Nanaimo, you need to also purchase business licences in each of these municipalities. Under the proposed bylaw, you would still purchase your Parksville business licence, but would only have to purchase one additional licence at a cost of $150 which would licence you to also do business in all participating municipalities. Representations regarding the proposed Inter-Community Business Licence Bylaw may be made in writing, via email or as a delegation before Council at the open Council meeting to be held on Monday, October 7 at 6 pm in the Forum at Parksville Civic and Technology Center, 100 Jensen Avenue East, Parksville. Persons wishing to make representation in writing must have their submission received at the City of Parksville, Administration Department, 100 Jensen Avenue East by 4 pm on Friday, October 4, 2013. Persons wishing to appear as a delegation before Council must submit their application by noon on Friday, October 4, 2013. A copy of the proposed bylaw may be viewed on the City’s website http://www.parksville.ca/cms.asp?wpID=477 or in person at the City of Parksville Administration Department Monday through Friday from 8 am to noon and from 1 pm to 4 pm. For further information please contact 250 954-3070.

L.A. fashions come to Qualicum Beach Family owned Mod Apparel aims for hip exciting vibe with everyday comfort LISSA ALEXANDER

reporter@pqbnews.com

Step into the hip and exciting world of Los Angeles fashion next time you’re in Qualicum Beach. Mod Apparel carries women’s fashion steeped with an L.A. vibe, as much of the clothing comes from L.A. as well as Montreal, Vancouver, New York and Denmark. Megan Richardson is the manager and owner of the store, which opened two years ago. She has a business degree with a major in marketing and nine years experience in retail as a buyer. She owns the store with her sister Hailey and mom Kathleen. She said although she initially thought the store would fill a local gap by offering fashionable clothes to the younger crowd, her clientele includes women of all ages, and there’s something for everyone.

“I just feel like if you’re comfortable wearing it you can wear it,” she said. Mod Apparel has everything from fashionable shirts and sweaters with soft fabrics, to jeans, fall jackets, funky gum boots, scarves, jewelry, camisoles and some home decor items. “I would say the clothes are stylish but you could wear them every day,” she said. Right now the popular items include tunics or sweater dresses with leggings, Richardson said. Prices range from $20 to over $100. For more information check out the website at www. modapparel.ca, call 250-5945594 or stop in the store at 672 Beach Road in Qualicum Beach. Mod Apparel is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Managing health care costs amid the surprises Statistically, women are living longer than men. This can be a good thing or not so good, depending upon your financial situation, so it is important that women take charge of planning for health care in retirement. Of course both spouses should be involved in the process, but you may be surprised how different your expectations are. Life is full of surprises, how you manage health care costs in retirement shouldn’t be one of those surprises. When we hear of a neighbor, co-worker or family member whose spouse dies unexpectedly, our sympathy, and, usually our concern goes to the survivor, and we wonder how they will be able to cope emotionally and financially. If there is life insurance, the spouse may be able to maintain their current lifestyle. But what about the rest of the survivor’s life?

The NEWS team of Joan, Neill and Peter, took it all off at the Parksville Rotary “Beer & Burger” fundraiser at the Bayside Inn, Thursday September 26th. Our goal was to raise $5000. We were overwhelmed by your support, and were able to raise over $6900, with pledges still coming in. Donations ranged from $10 and $20, to Hero ($100) and Champion ($250). Every dollar counts. The community raised funds at the event for Camp Goodtimes and our local rider, Corporal Jesse Foreman from the Oceanside RCMP.

WORKSHOP AT THE MAC

Art as a communication vehicle Open Studio concept allows for more freedom of expression

Qualicum Dental is happy to welcome back

DR. ANTHONY CHAN

LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

Take a journey into your own subconscious by trying a new Open Studio workshop at the McMillan Arts Centre next Thursday, Oct. 10. “It invites people without art experience or an art background to choose their own materials and their own subject matter,” said Juanita Sahl. Sahl is an artist with a Masters in Art Education, a BA in Sociology, teacher certification in studio art, and she has taken a post-Masters art therapy program. In that program, she was exposed to the Open Studio idea, where people use art as a communicative vehicle, and realized it could help young people dealing with personal identity or self-esteem issues. “I got really fired up about it and ended up doing a research on it, and then (it became) recognized as an accredited course by the Ministry (of Education) to implement into the public school system,” she said. Sahl taught her course from 2004 to 2006 at a Lower Mainland high school and found it to be very successful. Students could take ownership of it, she said, choosing their own assignments and then reporting on what they did, why they did it and what it meant to them. Sahl later presented Open Studio workshops to special needs patients, some who couldn’t articulate things verbally, but could express themselves through the visual arts. Between 2006 and 2013 she tutored art and English at Hastings Racecourse. While looking for property locally she found a place with a built-in-studio, the perfect place to continue on with her art courses. To test the waters, she’s offering an introductory Open Studio Workshop at the McMillan Arts Centre (the MAC) in Parksville on Oct 10 from 1-3 p.m.

New patients welcome.

Juanita Sahl is offering an Open Studio workshop at the McMillan Arts Centre Oct. 10. Here she shows work created from the course previously.

All materials are provided and people will be able to follow their own creative spirit, she said, with the support of a peer group, and share some thoughts and feeling about their processes. Direction will be provided when it’s needed and then, once the subconscious is activated, the art will begin to flow. The fee is $30 for that workshop. Sahl will then be offering the program from her home studio starting Oct. 21. That runs four Mondays from 9 a.m. to noon and is $120. Starting on Oct. 22 Sahl will offer a Mandala Symbolism and Design workshop, this involves creating a circular motif that is said to lead to personal insight. No

previous art skills are necessary and the process is meant to be meditative, therapeutic and creatively gratifying. That runs four Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and is $195. Finally Sahl is offering a Handmade Books workshop where participants can create a series of books that can then be used for verbal and visual stories. The result is a great gift or keepsake. This runs four Wednesdays starting Oct 23 from 9 a.m. to noon and costs $195. To register for the workshop at the MAC or any of Sahl’s home workshops, or to get more information, call 250-586-4319 or email: juanitasahl@hotmail.com.

INFORMATION

John Samuel (Jack)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jack McGibbon after a brief illness. Jackâ€™s sister, Sheila, and brother-in-law, Bill were with him in his final moments. He was predeceased by his wife, Elizabeth (Betty) Sheldon. Jackâ€™s early years were spent in Newmarket and Oshawa, Ontario. After graduating high school with honours, he continued his education at Queens University and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce in 1943. He went on to achieve his C.A. in accountancy, winning the gold medal and began a fulfilling and successful career with Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants, retiring as a senior partner. Jack and Betty spent many years in various cities across Canada including Toronto, Edmonton, Windsor, Calgary and Vancouver. After much consideration they chose to retire to Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. They spent many years enjoying life to the fullest; Jack pursuing golf, Betty her garden, and together traveling the world. In accordance with Jackâ€™s wishes, no service will be held. Instead his ashes will be returned to Camebridge (Galt) Ontario to be buried alongside his beloved wife, Betty. Sincere thanks goes to the staff at The Gardens, Qualicum Beach whose care and compassion were exemplary. Donations, if desired, may be made to the charity of your choice. First Memorial Funeral Services (250)754-8333

McGIBBON

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Always gracious, always caring, always encouraging with humour and love, there has never been such a selďŹ‚ess man. Born in London, England, John had a brilliant and curious mind which led him to explore art, history, music, and writing. He could quote the great poets by heart, and had read all 12 volumes of Durantâ€™s History of the World so many times that he could quote that too. He was able to remember and sing the Beethoven symphonies. John developed his own creative talents and became a gifted watercolourist and a witty writer. As a young man John earned an apprenticeship in Chemical Engineering, and he was involved in the ďŹ rst discoveries of plastics. During the war he spent his summers on his cherished South Downs on a farm, near Pulborough on the River Arun, where he loved growing vegetables and learning all about farming. Johnâ€™s next adventure was a year working in Persia for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company where he easily mastered Arabic. In 1951 John emigrated to Canada. He married his beloved wife, Diane, in 1967, and devoted himself to her and her four children. They homesteaded in the Cariboo where John earned his degree in Social Work and helped many people. Over the years John and Diane made extensive trips to Europe where they explored art, history, and culture. Later John loved their long happy winters in Mexico, ďŹ nding an afďŹ nity with the Mexican people, and enjoying the local environment. In 1994 John and Diane moved to Qualicum Beach where they could indulge their love of the forest, ocean, and gardening. Together they were among founding members of the Brown Property Association (Heritage Forest), and worked hard to prevent an ancient forest from becoming 152 residential lots. John spent happy hours studying the resident artists at TOSH; he enjoyed local cultural events, birding, and walking in the forest, on the beach, and around the neighbourhood. John leaves a loving family and his dear wife to rejoice at an end to suffering. In his memory donations may be made to a charity of your choice. Diane Wardle can be contacted at #210-6089 Uplands Dr. Nanaimo, BC, V9V 1W1.

VIJHL Hockey

Gens lose late with interim coach Despite a tough win-loss record, Qualicum Beach’s Giroux leads league in saves JAMES CL ARKE sports@pqbnews.com

The Save-On-Foods Oceanside Generals were home Sunday afternoon for their third game of the week, and first after the release of head coach and GM Brent Demerais. Demerais was cut loose by the team after Saturday’s 5-1 home loss to the Kerry Park Islanders, but the result was a familiar one Sunday, with the Gens being out-shot by a wide margin and coming up on the short end of a 2-1 final to the Comox Valley Glacier Kings. The Generals started last week’s VIJHL sked with a 4-1 road loss at the hands of the Westshore Wolves. Taking over as interim head coach is former assistant Rob Gaudreault, who had help on the bench Sunday from club president/governor Sylvain Giroux. In keeping with the trend, Oceanside was out-shot each period Sunday including 21-8 in the second, and 50-22 on the game. Rookie forward Drew Dancy from Nanaimo gave the home fans reason to cheer when he scored the lone goal of the opening period at 17:35 for a 1-0 Gens lead. Comox scored on their fourth power play of the second period at 9:41 — Oceanside had previously killed off a 5-on-3. The two teams skated through a scoreless third but Comox stole the win with 19 seconds left in regulation. The Gens’ home-grown rookie goalie was outstanding in net and made at least a half dozen highlight reel saves to keep his team in the game. Liam Giroux, 17, from Qualicum

James cLarke pHoto

Rookie forward Brodie Smith from Parksville is denied in close Sunday.

Beach, heads into this week as the VIJHL’s top rated ‘tender. Worth noting is that no other goalie in the VIJHL has played more games (9); played more minutes (507); faced more shots (401), or made more saves (368). Asked his take on Demerais’ release and the mood in the dressing room, Gens’ captain Travis Flug said: “I’d say definitely something needed to be

changed. I don’t know if it was the coach or not but we seem slightly more positive which will be good going ahead.” As for the slow start, Flug said the team is looking forward to turning their season around. “It should be exciting. We’re getting all the losses out of the way right now so just wins are coming up.” Sunday’s loss drops the Generals to

1-7-1-1 on the season and languishing in last place in the nine-team league. After the game, G-Kings assistant coach Phil Brett, who used to coach Giroux on the Island Selects, said “we played good, and their goaltender played really good. Liam’s a good goalie and our goalie played really well too. We shot a lot of pucks and they just weren’t going in, but I thought we controlled the game pretty good. We’ve got some stuff to work on but we’ll take the two points.” As for his first game behind the bench as a head coach in the junior ranks, Gaudreault said he was disappointed with the loss, but pleased with the effort his team put forward amidst the change. “There was emotions on both sides, myself and the players.” he said of Demerais’ release. “They said they wanted to win for him tonight, and they tried, but everything’s good, we’re going to rebound and the kids will do well.” One of his first orders of business he said “is rolling the lines and trying to find combinations. We’re going to be doing that quite a bit coming up ...I just want to see what kind of combinations can work together. “We want to start getting in the positive side of the point collection here,” he said referring to the losses. “I don’t want us to have a big hole to dig out of, but if the kids keep on working like they did tonight and we erase some of the mistakes in our zone, I think you’ll start seeing the points adding up.” See generalS, page A37

Hole in one shootout a lot of fun for everyone JAMES CL ARKE

sports@pqbnews.com

The first Annual Hole-inOne Golf Shoot-Out was a big hit with those that turned out, but nobody grabbed the Buick. Played Sunday at Fairwinds Golf Course under ideal conditions, the shoot-out saw an upbeat and hopeful field of 50 tee it up on the Par 3, 165 yard 10th hole with a brand new 2013 Buick Verano, valued at over 35k, waiting for anyone that could record the ace. There were no warmup swings and each person got one shot only. Some of the participants were clearly in their element, others, not so much, but it was evident everyone was

enjoying themselves. “I’ve never golfed a day in my life, so we’ll see how it goes,” one young woman said while she waited. She would later give the ball a good wallop much to the delight of the gallery. The Hole-In-One Shoot-Out is one of a number of promotional events being held at Fairwinds as part of their 25th anniversary, and was also cross-promotion with other area courses organized and sponsored by Harris Oceanside GM. “We thought it would be a good way to promote golf in Oceanside and to have some fun,” said co-organizer Andy Lankester, explaining that anyone recording a hole in one

at any of the six participating Oceanside golf courses over the summer — Fairwinds, Arrowsmith, Pheasant Glen, Morningstar, Eaglecrest, and Q.B. Memorial — were automatically entered in Sunday’s shoot-out. The contest started in May, and according to Lankester, about 40 people qualified for the event by way of hole in ones, and 20 of those were on hand Sunday, with the rest of the field selected from contest entries on line, at the pro shops and Harris Oceanside GM. In the meantime, everyone got a keepsake cap with the number in which they shot stenciled on the side.

Stu Crause got the ball rolling as the first up, and his shot stood up to closest to the pin, netting him a GMC golf windbreaker. One by one the hopefuls took to the line, and body English was abound. Parksville’s Dan Goodfellow had the gallery clapping with a great shot that rolled past the pin. “I thought it was going to bite more,” Goodfellow, who employed his five-iron for the shot, shrugged with a grin after. “We thought we were in for a good run because the first four golfers hit the green, and then it kind of went downhill from there,” Lankester chuckled after it was over. Once everyone was done he

said they rounded up all the balls that hit the green — “there were probably about 10, and we gave them all prizes. The feedback was really good,” he said, adding “we dodged a bullet with the weather (and) a number of people came up to me and said what a great experience it was, but what was really neat was that so many of the people that came out are customers of ours. It was just really heartwarming that so many of the people were there in support of the dealership. It was nice.” And while the event came up short attracting the full field of 144 they had hoped, “we plan on holding it every year,” he said.

Kids playing well, even in the winter-like weather JAMES CL ARKE

sports@pqbnews.com

“Let the rains begin,” one parent panned from the sidelines Saturday as the players took to the pitch at Arrowview Elementary School for an early instalment of soggy soccer. One of a number of games played out in these parts on the weekend, this one saw the Oceanside Hot Bananas blank Nanaimo 5-0 in U13 Boys action. “It was nasty nasty,” Oceanside head coach Brian Geiger confirmed after. “It was about as wet as we could take — it was typical winter soccer.” All hosts from the outset, the Hot Bananas were rewarded for their tenacity and slick passing midway through the opening half when Jacob Webster-Baumel opened the scoring with his first goal of the season, and the floodgates opened, with Justin Geiger potting a pair and Alexander Marshall and Logan Basara adding singles. A great team effort, Oceanside led 3-0 at the half. “For the second game of the season I’ve been really happy with how well they’ve played together. The team is really starting to gel as a unit,” said Geiger. Brandon Nicoll was in net for the shutout. The Hot Bananas won their regular season home opener the week before beating Mid-Isle 6-1. Freeman Waechter and Ty Barker split the duties in goal in that one. “Both games the boys have played really well together,” said coach Geiger. “The teamwork and team spirit is great.” GAME ON: The Hot Bananas host another Nanaimo team on Saturday at high noon at Arrowview.

Generals looking for coach continued from page a36

As confirmed by a press release issued by the club Sunday, “the Save-On-Foods Oceanside Generals have begun their search for a new head coach/general manager after Brent Demerais was relieved of his duties Saturday night. “We want to thank Brent for his efforts — he worked hard for this club,” said Generals president Sylvain Giroux. “But the board believes this season was getting away from us and wanted to go in a different direction. And we want to thank Rob for stepping in on an interim basis in a tough situation.” Heading into action Sunday, the Generals had one win in their first nine games of the season. In just over one season with the Generals, Demerais’ record behind the bench was 21-32-4 in the regular season, 0-4 in the playoffs. Giroux said the search for a new coach has started. The Generals have three practices this week and begin the October schedule with a game Thursday in Victoria against the South Division-leading Cougars, followed by a home game Saturday (7:30 p.m. start at Oceanside Place) against the North Division-leading Nanaimo Buccaneers.

ICE CHIPS The Generals made a couple big additions to the team last week. Playing their first two games with Oceanside on the weekend were local D-man Kade Pilton and forward Carl Provencher from Blainville, Quebec. Pilton, a 6’5”, 210 pound D-man from Qualicum Beach, turns 19 in November. A former North Island Silvertip, Pilton played 72 career WHL games with Chilliwack, Victoria and Regina. He split last season between the Regina Pats (WHL) and Victoria Grizzlies (BCHL). He carded with Surrey (BCHL) to start the season but reportedly didn’t want to play there. His best season was 2011-12 when he had 13 points in 43 games with the Victoria Royals (WHL). Provenchar, 19, played last season with Ulysse Prep School, a member of the CAHS where he posted eight goals and seven assists for 15 points in 56 games. A big body at 6’1” 185 pounds, Provenchar, who started this year with the Gloucester Rangers in the CCHL, “loves to play physical, he’s swift skater, will create lots of room for line-mates and is of superior size and strength at this level,” said Sylvain Giroux. Check out Thursday’s paper for more on Pilton’s return to the home team.

It was one of those good-news-bad-news weeks for Ballenas Secondary School’s football teams, with the JV Whalers shaking the monkey off their back with a big 32-16 win over the Barsby Bulldogs in Nanaimo last Wednesday, and the varsity team suffering a 28-0 loss at the hands of the Windsor Dukes in North Van on Saturday. The Whalers, who have not beaten the Bulldogs in JV action in eight years, took a 12-0 lead into the half after a goal-line stand against Barsby on their opening drive, and rolled from there. Barsby scored a late touchdown. Running Back Matt Price led the way for the JV Whalers’ offence, rushing for 160 yards on 20 carries (an impressive eight yards per carry) including touchdown runs of five and 70 yards. Whalers’ QB Brody Seselja also ran nine times for 34 yards and was 3-for-7 in passing for 106 yards and two TD strikes; one of those a 55 yard pass up the middle to Brendan Hardstad, and another of 23 yards to Sam Paquette. Paquette also hauled down a clutch 28 yard reception to keep the chains moving, and had six tackles on defense Price and Noah Wheatley paced the Whalers’ D with seven tackles apiece, and Austin Hunt

and Steve Martin pitched in with five tackles and a sack each. According to Whalers’ head coach Jeremy Conn one of the craziest plays of the game was when Barsby blocked a Ballenas punt and the ball was squirting up and down the field until finally Whalers’ Liam Robinson scooped it up and went 55 yards for the touchdown. “That was a wild play,” confirmed Conn, “I was proud of Liam for making such a heads up play. I am proud of the entire team,” he said, pointing out “we have a lot of new players and they have shown great commitment at practice and we are seeing how it’s really paying off. I am excited for the future these guys have together, that said we need to do a better job of stopping the run game by getting off blocks, staying in our gaps, and tackling better.” GAME ON Now 2-1 on the season, the JV Whalers travel to North Van on Wednesday to face the 1-1 Carson Graham Eagles (who last week handed the Holy Cross Crusaders their first loss of the regular season in a 35-7 route) for a big AA Western Conference matchup. The 1-1 Varsity Whalers are in Nanaimo on Friday to face the Western Conference leading 2-0 Barsby Bulldogs.

Brickyard Community Park

Directions to Brickyard Community Park:

Brickyard Community Park nestles beside a sheltered bay on the tip of the Nanoose Peninsula in the community of Fairwinds. This delightful park includes woodland and a small cove much favoured by locals as a sheltered place to walk, sunbathe and swim in the waters warmed at high tide by the smooth granite rocks that abound the cove. JILL DAVIES Special to The NEWS

However, the rural peace has not always been this way. Back in 1911 a brick yard was located by the cove. Clay was brought from the meadows that in time became the golf course. Coal to fire the kiln was brought by barges that were then used to ship the bricks to their destination. For those curious to explore the past, take time to check out the woodland above the bay. As you approach the cove along the short and meandering trail, on your right you will see the remains of the concrete piles that once supported the Pelton wheel installed to generate electricity for the brick works. There is also evidence of the rails and cross-ties of the railroad that ran between the meadows and the brick works. Just above the beach is a small circle of coal dust and close-by, bricks that were part of the kiln are now intertwined among the roots of the impressive maples and Coastal Douglas fir. In early October, as the maples turn to yellow, red and gold, Brickyard Cove draws families, dog walkers and those who want to enjoy a stroll through the park. At low tide the water in the bay glitters in the sunlight. The beach is pebbled, scattered with rocks and larger stones intermingled with hundreds of fragments of red brick. Beneath the glaciated rock is a small patch of sandy beach that is just perfect for small feet to go paddling. Take the trail that leads beyond the cove to the rocks and then to the headland. There the view South looks across the bay to Wallis Point and in the distance the Nanaimo headland. Looking over the water to the North East there is an attractive cluster of small islands that form part of the Ballenas - Winchelsea Archipelago. Misted in the distance, to the North lie Lasqueti and Texada and beyond as ever the Sunshine Coast and distant mountains. On the headland are two benches thoughtfully placed ‘in memory’ of loved ones. In the crystal clear light of this early fall morning, for lovers of our Oceanside beaches, it is a glorious place to sit, gaze, listen to the lapping waves and be at peace with the universe. Who was on the beach: A couple strolled hand in hand along the trail while on the

beach Vicki and Walter Voros were enjoying the company of their grand-daughter. Elodie is rising too and armed with bucket and spade was crouched low turning over stones to discover, with all the joy and inquiry of a small person, the small crabs and occasional purple sea star hidden below. Among her treasures was a skeletal purple crab that had washed up on the beach, a rubbery bubble of kelp, a feather and a pine cone. Vicki said, ‘This is a wonderful place. On a summer’s evening we bring a picnic and swim off the rocks. We love to watch the birds. There are eagles in the high trees. And once when we were swimming, a heron almost landed on Walter’s head! Now Elodie is getting bigger, it’s the perfect place for her to play and share

our delight in the world around us.’ What might you see there in October? In the woodland the huge maples are displaying their fall glory; there are stands of tall Coastal Douglas firs, arbutus and mature Garry oaks with one beside the water spreading its branches over the rocks. Beneath the canopy though snowberries still glimmer in the shade of the summer honeysuckle is dying back. On the beach a myriad marine creatures lurk and scuttle beneath the stones. Oysters cling to the rocks. From the headland, watch for harbour seals and the returning sea lions that gracefully arch through the waves. If you are lucky you may spot a pod of passing orcas.

• Suitable footwear for clambering over rocks and pebbles • For children of all ages, at low tide, buckets and a magnifying glass • Binoculars, cameras, seashore and bird guides • In the fall, a blanket, book, flask of coffee and maybe a sandwich • In the summer an evening supper • Also in the summer at high tide, bathers, towels, sunscreen and beach shoes
