QUALICUM BEACH LABOUR DISPUTE

RCMP called to intervene Union rep says town ‘panicking’ as lockout enters fourth week AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com

Police have been called as Qualicum Beach council’s lockout heats up and heads into a fourth week. “The picket lines obstructed vehicles and the RCMP were called,” town Chief Administrative Officer Daniel Sailland said Wednesday morning of an incident Tuesday with the garbage truck at the Church Road transfer station. He said union staff complied once police showed up, but that Wednesday morning unionized staff were blocking the garbage truck with their cars from accessing residential streets and police were called again. “Nope, we’re not blocking traffic,” said CUPE 401 Vice President Laurence Amy calling it management “over-reacting and panicking.” “We were following the garbage truck to the transfer station,” Amy said shrugging off the accusation. He said the police did show up but nothing changed since they weren’t doing anything wrong. See CAN CHIEF DO INSPECTIONS?, page A7

NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT REFERENDUM

Wording finalized JOHN HARDING

editor@pqbnews.com

The date is set. The amount is set. The wording of the referendum question asking Parksville voters to give the city permission to borrow $5.6 million for a new water system is set. Whether or not the vote will be relevant seems to be anything but set. Residents of Parksville will vote Nov. 21 on this question that asks for a yes or no answer: “Do you agree to the adoption of City of Parksville Loan Authorization Bylaw 2015, No. 1519 which will authorize the City of Parksville to borrow $5.6 million to construct a water intake and treatment facility in accordance with Island Health requirements.” See CITY NOT GRANTED AN EXTENSION, page A9

Parksville man gets four months in jail

CandaCe Wu news@pqbnews.com

A 21-year-old Parksville man is facing four months of jail time after police connected him to a string of thefts from vehicles in the city earlier this week. Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman said he received eight phone calls Monday morning regarding thefts from unlocked vehicles in the area between Ballenas Secondary School and Springwood Elementary School. Foreman said stolen items include electronics, cash, clothing and a backpack, but noted only unlocked vehicle were targeted and none of the vehicles sustained smashed windows or wrecked doors. “I want to stress to people it’s almost perpetuating a crime (leaving vehicle doors unlocked),” he told The NEWS. “If everyone in Oceanside locked their vehicle doors this would be far less of a problem.” According to a news release issued by Oceanside RCMP, the stolen backpack was “very identifiable” and later found on the suspect, who is well known to police, in downtown Parksville. He was arrested Monday in connection with the thefts from vehicles. Oceanside RCMP crime reduction unit officers were able to connect the suspect to several of the thefts through evidence and statements. Police said he was held in custody overnight and appeared in Nanaimo Provincial Court Tuesday where he received four months of incarceration for Theft Under $5,000 and Possession of Stolen Property.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair swept across Vancouver Island Tuesday, stopping in Parksville to officially launch fellow New Democrat Gord Johns’ campaign office on the Island Highway. More than 200 people waving bright orange signs of support attended the event, where Mulcair promised $15/day childcare, a $15/ hour federal minimum wage and “over arching sustainable development legislation” under an NDP government. “Canadians will know basic principles like making polluters pay will be enforced in Canada,” Mulcair, flanked by NDP candidates from Island ridings, passionately told the crowd. “We’ll bring in an evaluation system, an environmental assessment system worthy of the name because none of the projects being talked about right now like Kinder Morgan can be approved under Stephen Harper’s totally failed process… The system is flawed hopelessly.” In 2013, federal electoral boundaries were redrawn, shifting Parksville Qualicum Beach into a new riding, known as Courtenay-Alberni which incorporates Courtenay, Baynes Sound, Denman and Hornby Islands, Cumberland, Port Alberni, Qualicum Beach, Parksville, Tofino and Ucluelet. Asked about the importance of swing ridings on Vancouver Island given the new boundaries,

Mulcair said: “We couldn’t be prouder to have recruited someone like Gord Johns here… the only party that can defeat the Conservatives is the NDP.” Earlier in the day, Mulcair stopped by Nanaimo where he vowed to invest more money in natural disaster prevention on the heels of one of the worst wildfire seasons B.C. has experienced in years, with a fire currently blazing through Rock Creek destroying dozens of homes. He announced a three-point plan to assist provinces and territories in keeping Canadians safe from wildfires and floods. Mulcair said the NDP will restore funding to the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program and for training programs previously provided by the Emergency Preparedness College. He said the NDP will also sit down with the provinces to strengthen the Disaster Financial Assistance Agreements to respond as disasters become more frequent. “The NDP is taking action to ensure Canadians and their homes are safer with an effective and modern approach to coordinated disaster assistance,” said Mulcair. The NDP leader headed from Parksville to Courtenay for a rally Tuesday evening. The Parksville NDP campaign headquarters on the Island Highway is situated right beside the office of Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson. The 2015 federal election is slated for Oct. 19.

Candidates in the election weeds Perspectives on marijuana legalization in this new Courtenay-Alberni riding Auren ruvinsky writer@pqbnews.com

With a recent Supreme Court decision and a dispensary that came and went from downtown Parksville, marijuana is a hot local topic in this federal election. Candidates in the new Courtenay-Alberni riding that includes Parksville Qualicum Beach, lean to the decriminalize or even legalize side of the spectrum. “I don’t think you want to stigmatize or criminalize people for youthful indiscretions,” said current Conservative MP and Government Whip John Duncan. He said he hasn’t given the topic a lot of thought, but “The fact is for users, marijuana has largely been decriminalized,” and that his “government’s position on marijuana is actually striking a very good balance.” “I think it’s a recWe’re fully in support of legalization, beyond just ognition of societal decriminalization acceptance of the status quo.” Glenn Sollitt Others charactarize the government’s position differently. “(Prime Minister Stephen) Harper’s pot policy is reckless and it’s driven by ideology,” said NDP candidate Gord Johns. “We will restore an evidence-based policy to government,” he said, touting his party’s 40-year stand in favour of at least decriminalizing. “It’s been decades since we had a pragmatic discussion about this in Canada. It’s time for an adult conversation,” he said. He said the NDP’s approach would include aggressive public health and education, harm reduction, funding research and establishing an independent commission on non-medical use of marijuana to help guide Parliament.

“The war on drugs has been a right wing tactic for years,” said Dan Olson, campaign manager for Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson. “The issue on everyone’s minds is, how to keep it out of the hands of children,” he said, explaining the Liberals would “turn it from a tax liability to a tax asset.” Speaking on behalf of the candidate, Olson said legalizing it would allow the government to control it like the government does with alcohol, making it easier to keep away from kids and “freeing up the police to address crime.” “We’re fully in support of legalization, beyond just decriminalization,” said Green Party Candidate Glenn Sollitt. He said the negatives people talk about from legalization initiatives in various U.S. states are proving untrue. He said the Green Party position, like all but the Conservatives, is to legalize and tax heavily like alcohol. They would then use some of the money for education and to help prevent youth from getting a hold of it. Sollitt said evidence only points to negative effects before the age of 25, but added that, while they would legalize it for recreational use, “the real benefit will be making sure it’s accessible for medical purposes and unleashing our scientists on it,” to explore medical uses. “That’s where the big payoff is.” He called the current government’s approach “ridiculous, antiquated, not working and very expensive.” And the current situation was greatly complicated by a June 11 Supreme Court decision allowing medical marijuana patients to use cannabis in edible forms. “The current laws have been

turned topsy-turvey by the Supreme Court,” said Duncan, adding he found the decision “bizarre and contrary to public health and safety and doing what’s right for kids.” “I’m opposed to what that signals. I don’t know where we’re going to end up, because we have to respond to the Supreme Court.” Johns said “the Harper government’s confusing and contradictory message around marijuana complicates things. The federal govern-

ment refuses to set fair rules and we’re going to help clean that up.” Duncan said in the meantime he’s happy with the RCMP cracking down on medical dispensaries, as they did with the Phoenix Pain Management Society in Parksville in April. “In my opinion they’re illegal and I’m happy with the RCMP keeping them out of our communities and I’m hopeful our municipal councils hold the line on that.”

RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman confirmed they were called to the transfer station, but “upon attending there was no issue, nothing going on that we could charge for.” He stressed that aside from safety issues, “our role is just to keep the peace. This is a civil matter between the town and the union. It’s a political issue that we try to stay out of.” At the time, Foreman was unaware of a similar situation on a residential street. “We were concerned that town management was violating the rules during a lockout,” said CUPE 401 Vice President Laurence Amy, explaining they “took the town to the labour board on Friday to address concerns about inappropriate activity on the town’s part” for clarity on “what work exempt employees can do.” He said for example, the union was concerned about the fire chief doing building inspections, “despite the fact that he does not meet the suggested qualifications established by the building inspectors’ professional body.” “The chief is exempt and has a right to be doing his job,” countered Sailland, adding that the fire chief has gone through level one training for building inspections. “Members monitoring the work that exempt staff are doing is standard practice in these situations,” Amy said adding that meanwhile, “our central focus is on getting back to the table and getting a fair deal.” “We have been without a contract since December, 2013 and we are seeking the same two percent annual increase reached in neighbouring communities,” he said. “Our priority remains getting a fair deal with a minimum impact on the citizens and businesses of Qualicum Beach.” Union members gave strike notice for July 26, but only banned overtime. Town council locked staff out on July 31. Calls to mayor Teunis Westbroek were returned by Sailland who said Westbroek was busy focused on meetings and town business. In the town’s Town Tidings page in this edition of The NEWS, management writes that “Qualicum Beach’s wages are comparable to, or better than, most Parksville rates,” explaining that while it’s hard to compare exact jobs, “Qualicum Beach still has a greater percentage of employees earning over $29 per hour… and provides more vacation time and offers more bereavement time.” A list of about 50 town staff shows an annual wage range of $36,928 for a Parks Utility IV position to $79,261 for a GIS/IT Coordinator. The requested two per cent would add $739 a year at the low end and $1,585 at the top. Sailland reiterated that council has increased its offer from 1.2 per cent to 1.8 per cent plus an $1,800 signing bonus. He said they have offered to sit down with the help of a mediator, but the union refuses until the town agrees to the two per cent request, “which defeats the purpose of negotiating.” “The town wants to explore options and ways we can try to find efficiencies and save money, but we need to be at the table to do that,” Sailland said. He noted that garbage collection is continuing, but may be delayed. He asked that residents bring the garbage back in and contact the town at 250-752-6921 for other arrangements if it isn’t picked up by 8 p.m. on the scheduled day.

New homeless shelter planned Council gives groups money for re-zoning fee JOHN HARDING editor@pqbnews.com

Community organizations have a plan to change the way the region’s homeless are served and it includes the use of a spacious building right next to the SOS in downtown Parksville. Representatives of the Parksville and District Association for Community Living (PDACL), the Oceanside Task Force on Homelessness and the Island Crisis Care Society gave city council a look at their plans on Monday night and asked for forgiveness of the $2,500 fee they will have to pay to start the re-zoning process. PDACL recently purchased the building

on Hirst Street beside the SOS that operated as a health unit until Island Health consolidated most of its services in the region into the Oceanside Health Centre. PDACL’s Barb Read explained Monday night the organization plans to allow the Crisis Care Society and task force to use the building for programs, shelter beds and transitional housing. “We think it’s a great opportunity to have a place where people can come and we can help them on their feet and move forward,” said the Crisis Care Society’s Violet Hayes, who is also a member of the homelessness task force. The plan is to provide 10 shelter beds and four-five transitional rooms for those waiting to get housing in what is said to be the community with the

lowest vacancy rate in the province. Currently, an extreme weather shelter is available for homeless people from Nov. 1-March 31 in the Salvation Army Church about two blocks away from PDACL’s new building, but it’s only open on certain nights according to the severity of the weather. This new shelter, said task force co-ordinator Sarah Poole, would have 10 beds and be open year-round regardless of the weather. The opening of this facility would close the extreme weather shelter, but the re-zoning process might take some time, so “it’s likely that (the extreme weather shelter) will still be in place (for the upcoming winter),” Poole said in an interview.

Voting will take place on Nov. 21 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at both the Parksville Baptist Church on Pym Street and the Parksville Community and Conference Centre on Jensen Avenue. There will also be an advance poll on Wednesday, Nov. 18, with details to follow. On Monday night, Mayor Marc Lefebvre wondered aloud about the relevance of the vote and its outcome. “If the referendum doesn’t go well, Island Health is going to force us to do it anyway,” said Lefebvre. “We are dealing with the hand we have been dealt.” Medical Officer of Health Paul Hasselback told The NEWS this week if Parksville does not change the way it treats water the city will not be in com-

pliance with provincial regulations after Dec. 2016. “But that’s a ‘what-if’ question — we just haven’t gotten there yet,” said Hasselback. “We have been working with Parksville for years and they have been a really good operator. The expectation is the City of Parksville will come into compliance.” Communities that were not in compliance with provincial drinking water regulations have faced legal orders in the past, said Hasselback. “I sincerely hope that we don’t have to have that conversation,” he said. Hasselback also said the city “have requested an extension” to the Dec. 2016 deadline, but “that has not been

provided to them.” On Monday night, Coun. Leanne Salter raised questions about the treatment plant’s capacity and the city’s projections on development cost charges that will, in part, pay for the project. The city’s operations manager, Mike Squire, said the 16 million litres/day the new treatment plant could handle will be good enough for the next 10 years. A next phase could bump that capacity to 24 million litres/day. Salter introduced a motion to include the 16 million litres/day figure in the referendum question. She could not get a seconder for her motion, so there was no vote.

Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer • Tour De Rock Why do law enforcement officers and media members commit to months of arduous training and embark on a journey away from their family and friends for two weeks? Why do organizations, businesses and ordinary people pledge to raise thousands of dollars? The answer is simple, to show families who have a child with cancer that they do not have to face the journey alone. Although cancer is a rare disease in children, it is the leading cause of death after accidents and its impact is devastating.

A tourism ace

olf courses bring millions of dollars to Parksville Qualicum Beach every year. People who golf generally have a considerable amount of disposable income. Tourists who come here to golf have a lot of money to spend. Yes, it’s good for the golf courses. Perhaps they get $100/day for every non-resident who shows up to golf. However, the spin-off for other businesses in the region is even higher. Outside the golf course property, a conservative estimate would suggest a tourist will spend at least $300/ day in hotels, meals, drinks, gifts, etc. A foursome coming in from, say, Alberta would spend $1,600/day here, or more than $11,000 in a week. We started thinking about these numbers after attending a news conference last week announcing a big event for the region, the Canadian University/College Golf Championships at Morningstar Golf Club May 31June 3, 2016. The event will bring 156 of the best young golfers in the country here, along with coaches, officials, parents and others. It’s estimated 500 people will come to this region that week, specifically for this event. Economic spin-off multipliers can be dicey. They can be over-inflated to make the point of some economic development professional or another. However, we believe golf is a solid money-maker for this region. We also believe it does not get the attention and thanks and support it deserves. Pulling off an event like what’s going to happen at Morningstar next year — and the prestigious B.C. Amateur Championship at Pheasant Glen, also next year — takes a lot of work and sacrifice. Members pay a lot of money to play these courses each year, and they must give up their course to these events for a week or more. What’s more, these same members, who one might think would resent these events, fill up the volunteer list. We’re told Morningstar will have no problem getting the 150 volunteers it needs to make the event next year work smoothly and these people will come from the course’s membership roll. That’s impressive. Municipal governments and business organizations in Parksville Qualicum Beach should do more to support the local golf scene — the courses are doing their part. — Editorial by John Harding

Burning tires Re: recent letters to the editor about car cruises through neighbourhoods (‘Classic car cruise stunk’ and ‘Immature drivers). A huge “thank-you” to the writers of the above letters. Many of the comments that were made are exactly the reasons why we no longer participate in these events. “Spinning their tires until we were engulfed in a haze of burnt rubber,” wrote one person. Well imagine driving behind one of these vehicles and experiencing the haze of burnt rubber, not to mention our concern of flying pebbles and debris hitting our vehicle. And we did see several vehicles in danger of being out of control when they did their burnout. “Despite all the people imploring him not to burn his tires,” wrote another. Believe me when I say there were many others along the route encouraging these burnouts and even holding up signs to score them. Rather then canceling these fine events for the majority, perhaps the organizers should consider spot checkers along the route to identify the few that always try to ruin it for others. Val axford Parksville

Doctor shortage complex

Re: recent stories and John Harding’s editorial about the doctor shortage in Parksville Qualicum Beach. I was a devoted patient of Dr. Marlene Van Der Wayde before and after she took on the practice at the Oceanside Health Centre. The challenges of giving the level of care she was known for in her private practice was one of the reasons she chose to return to that type of medicine. In this area with such a high degree of long-term care challenges, we need to attract doctors who have a specialty in senior care issues. For most doctors, this is exhausting care and would burn out a family doctor very quickly. The population is aging and medical schools have to get on board quickly to train new physicians to answer this challenge not just in our community but all over Canada. If we want more primary care doctors we have to be prepared to assist them with

funding for nurses who will lighten their load and make it easier to practise with care and concern and not rush patients through a visit to keep their numbers up. Sandra digraS Parksville

Well BehaveD Dogs I was delighted to read a letter from an easy going human being (‘Leave dogs alone,’ The NEWS, Aug. 6). We live in such an uptight world and “live and let live” is such a nice thing to say. Next time, I am at the beach, please, wave to me and identify yourself. I am so happy that you won’t mind having my eight-year-old and his six-year-old sister run through your blanket, maybe even use your towel. And food, you don’t mind them sharing your snacks. Would you buy them ice cream? And when they need to use the facilities, you will let them do it right beside your spot. All natural, they say. Well, what an ideal world that would be, but my dogs are much better behaved than that. Well, behaved dogs do not run amok on the busy public beach just for fun. There are quiet, secluded smaller beach areas where dogs can run free, under owner’s control. Let’s try that. dorota Smith Parksville

parksville Water upgraDe issues

The present upgrade plan of the ERWS to provide water to Parksville and the RDN (Nanoose Bay) raises questions. The proposed intake and treatment plant without some system to retain winter rainfall runoff from the Englishman River will do nothing to alleviate summer drought conditions. The controversial aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) scheme is an untested and expensive proposition, but the path the Parksville/RDN administrators seem determined to follow. (Note that no administrative ASR advocate has yet volunteered to lay their head on the chopping block if the ASR fails; or even if a mud bank collapses and clogs the proposed intake). It has not escaped my attention on drives up the Island Highway through Qualicum Beach and Bowser that both the Little Qual-

icum and Big Qualicum Rivers seem to have heavier water flows than the Englishman. It’s not because of a lot more rain up there. It’s because they flow out of lakes — large water reservoirs. The only reservoir that the Englishman River has is the man-made Arrowsmith Lake. Local concerned citizens have called for the creation of additional reservoirs on the Englishman at higher elevations, to capture the water rainfall runoff and store it for summer drought conditions. This makes a lot of sense. I also understand that both Island Timberlands and the DFO have no objection to the creation of such reservoirs above Englishman River Falls. If constructed properly, water reservoirs serve a number of mutual interests. And the economics appear favourable, both in ultimate costs and the fact that the construction money would go to local contractors and not to expensive outside consulting firms. A community win-win all the way around.

unsightly properties Nice to see Parksville city council give some attention to cleaning up unsightly properties on Belson Street and Wembley Road. Driving throughout the community, it is evident that there is a lot more to do in this regard. What is happening to all of the abandoned and unsightly and fenced off commercial sites in the downtown core on the Island Highway, some there for years? Not a great view, especially for our tourist visitors. This spring there was forest demolition on the Island Highway between 562 and 624 (Bay to Rushton Lane) there it sits with some logs, stumps, dead fall and piles of slash forest debris with no evidence of potential cleanup. In this climate of intensive heat the fire hazard potential is scary. In stark contrast is the new development underway at Stanhope Road and 19A. Land clearing began about three weeks ago, logs are neatly piled and there is one pile of forest debris left. Service material is on site. Why the different approach with two sights within blocks of one another? don Snell Parksville

I think it should and will be legalized. It’s probably not worse than alcohol and the government will get revenue from it. Don Brown Parksville

May as well, because it’s out there anyway. Jack DIxon Parksville

Yes because the government can manage it. BoB Dale Parksville

Yes because it helps a lot of people, like those with epilepsy. I think it is a safe choice because if you have too much, you’ll eat a sandwich. lee Darroch Parksville

TOWN OF

QUALICUM BEACH

TOWN TIDINGS Labour Disruption FAQ’s

Thank You Volunteers and Organizers!

Why did the Town of Qualicum Beach lockout What financial increases did union employees its employees? receive since 2010?

There was arts, culture, streets lined with hot rods, soaring planes, and flaming chilli, just to name a few of the things to experience in Qualicum Beach this summer. Special thanks to everyone who continue to make these events and celebrations as memorable and successful as ever. Thank you to the local businesses, residents, sponsors and volunteers!

There were four general elements that contributed to Union employees received increases as follows: the decision: • 3% wage increase in 2010; 1). When the Union commenced strike action on July 26, • 2.5% wage increase in 2011; 2015 this triggered a standby provision that increased • 2.75% wage increase in 2012; the Town’s operational costs by approximately $20,000 • 3% wage increase in 2013. per month in payments to union workers. Please Note: These total increases represent a total of 2). When the Union commenced strike action on July 26, 1.25% more than the increases received by Parksville 2015 this triggered a legislative requirement for all exempt union employees over the same period of time. staff to work a minimum of 60 hours per week performing both their duties and those of union employees who In addition to the wage increases noted above there were 23 union employee reclassifications that took place since were not performing due to the strike action. 2010. All the reclassifications resulted in wage increases. 3). The Town’s primary responsibility is to provide services Parity, in Councils view, must include these facts. safely. With only seven (7) exempt staff available to continue to provide services and monitor the Town’s six (6) primary locations, the Town would not have What compensation does the average full-time been able to assure safety and predictability of services union employee receive from the Town? in the context of a strike. A strike causes unpredictable The average full time union employee of the Town receives and intermittent disruption to services. The Union had approximately $75,000 per annum in compensation. the ability, at any time, to pull employees off work, This includes hourly wage, benefits and pension. including in the middle of events. Shifting from a strike to a lock-out helped the Town to provide predictability and safety. We felt this was a necessary step.

How does the wage structure compare to that in other communities like Parksville?

4). The Union executive negotiating on behalf of the Town’s union employees had not changed their demands for 2% per year since the onset of bargaining in April, nor had they accepted to alter agreement language that would help the Town achieve cost savings.

The Town has compared its wage structure to Parksville and has found that Qualicum Beach’s wages are comparable to, or better than, most Parksville rates. Acknowledging that job categories are not exactly the same, Qualicum Beach still has a greater percentage of employees earning over $29.00 per hour than Parksville. Qualicum Beach also provides more vacation time and offers more bereavement time.

What has Council done to resolve this matter? The Town has negotiated and extended 4 different offers to the Union all of which the Union executive has consistently refused to bring to the union employees of the Town for a vote. Council has gradually improved its offers from an increase in wages of 1.2% per year (6% on a 5 year term) plus other concessions to an increases of 1.8% a year (8% on a 4.5 year term) plus other concessions. Council also attempted to resolve the matter by proposing elements such as signing bonuses of up to $1,800 per permanent employee. Council has attempted to re-establish the bargaining table in order to explore alternative options with a mediator present.

What would a 2% a year increase cost the Town? A 2% per year increase in wages represents an increase of $70,000 per year (equivalent to a 1% tax increase) and has a cumulative total increase in cost of $1,050,000 over a 5 year period. In other words, a 5-year agreement at 2% a year represents a 5% tax increase.

Call For Volunteers A friendly reminder that the Town of Qualicum Beach is currently seeking interested individuals to serve on the following newly formed advisory committees to Council: • Select Committee on Environment & Sustainability (2 year term) (6 vacancies) • Select Committee on Parks, Recreation & Culture (2 year term) (6 vacancies) All appointments are on a volunteer basis and members serve without remuneration. Terms of Reference for the Select Committee on Environment & Sustainability and the Select Committee on Parks, Recreation & Culture may be obtained at the Town of Qualicum Beach Municipal Office (address below) or from the municipal web page www.qualicumbeach.com under Volunteer Vacancies. In order to be considered, please submit a letter with a brief resume noting which Committee you are interested in volunteering for no later than August 21st, 2015 to: Heather Svensen, Corporate Administrator Town of Qualicum Beach P.O. Box 130, #201 660 Primrose Street Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 1S7 Fax: 250.752.1243 E: hsvensen@qualicumbeach.com

Do exempt (non-unionized) employees and Council receive the same increases as those received by unionized employees within the Collective agreement?

Land Acquisition and Divestment

No. The Town bases salary increases for exempt employees and Council members on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is the same basis used when the Town considers annual taxation levels.

The Town Council wishes to report that it has recently sold two residential properties for a total of $511,000 and has reinvested $490,000 toward a new residential property adjacent to the Qualicum Beach Airport. The new land purchase is the second revenue generating property purchased by the Town which is immediately adjacent to the Airport. Council sees the Airport and the adjacent properties as being of strategic interest and will add discussion regarding these properties to the OCP review scheduled for 2016.

What services are being provided during the labour disruption? The following Town facilities and services are continuing (some in a reduced capacity): • Residential and Commercial garbage pickup; • Public washrooms in the downtown and beachfront are open: • Town hall (municipal services) is open from 10am to 2pm; • The Community Park playing fields are open with minimal maintenance • Building inspections

• The Qualicum Beach Cemetery • Path and trail maintenance Fire protection, cemetery burials, airport, and water and sewer maintenance are considered essential services and continue to be provided. The Library, RCMP, recycling and compost services are provided by other agencies and they continue to provided.

Union tantrUm

May I take this opportunity to offer a hearty “Bravo” to letter writer Carol Doering of Qualicum Beach for having the insight and courage to articulately call a spade a proper digging tool. There once was a time when labour unions were a necessary reality in order to force compassion in a society more attuned to privileged class hierarchies. Pardon me if the unions of today, in their efforts to justify their existence, seem to initiate job action that more closely resembles organized tantrum. Craig DrummonD Qualicum Beach

Fire Fighting history As a child in Alberni I remember the Campbell River fire of 1937, when the smoke clouded out the sun as far as Victoria. In 1942 I worked at the forestry office in Alberni as a dispatcher, answering the phone, colouring maps, greeting visitors and washing and coiling fire hoses. That year, a fire started on the south shore of Great Central Lake jumped a mile and a half to the north shore with flying embers carried by the updraft. At that time forest companies maintained equipment to fight fires. This caused the pilot for M&B to recommend that the companies purchase the war surplus Mars, anchored in the San Francisco harbour. For the next 50 years, the planes contained all the fires on the coast and a number in the interior. In 1965, I was residing in Vancouver when the Mars was called to attack a sawmill fire in downtown New Westminster. This allowed the fire-

men to enter and extinguish the blaze. In 1967, the contractor working for B.C. Hydro started a fire near Taylor River. He called forestry, but by the time they arrived the fire was out of control and there was too much smoke for the planes to fly. Next came a fire started by sparks from a train at Cameron Lake. The Mars was able to put that out in spite of the steep terrain. In 1968, a fire started on the CPR trail to Mt. Arrowsmith. The grad class who were having their banquet at French Creek watched the Mars picking up water. After the event was finished, a number of us went to where we could observe the drops. The smoke was going straight up for about 100 feet then being blown horizontally by the strong wind. The fire was soon cooled to where the ground crew could go in and finish the job. Next came the fire at Sechelt. Many people went to Rathrevor Beach to watch the two Mars dropping 6,000 gallons every four minutes. In the 1980s there were several fires brought under control at Kelowna and Salmon Arm. For 50 years Vancouver Island and the coastal area never had a fire get out of control. Then this government drew up qualifications to exclude the Mars. That year a fire burned out of control above Nimpkish Lake, one of the longest lakes on Vancouver Island, where there are stands of the finest timber on the Island. Maybe readers can understand how 20,000 people signed a petition to have the government hire the Mars when they saw Dog Mountain being burned, seeing the rapid spread while the two flying tankers making a drop every hour after their flight to Abbotsford to reload. arthur n.

Stakes Are High in Town Lockout Friday, August 21 will mark three weeks since the Qualicum Beach Mayor and Council locked out their municipal workers. There is a lot at stake for Qualicum Beach residents and businesses who are not able to rely on a full range of safe and reliable services. There is also much at stake for the health of our beautiful grounds and gardens and for our reputation as a great place to visit and live. Our community has benefited from a long history of achieving fair agreements with Town employees resulting in high quality, affordable services for our community. We have kept pace with surrounding communities, and tried to keep up with the cost of living, and are not seeking to do anything different this time. We thank our community for the outpouring of support. It means a lot to us. We ask that you continue to let the mayor and council that you elected know that you support a fair deal for QB workers and an end the Mayor and Council’s lockout.

For some strange reason we are made to believe that the strike in Qualicum Beach is somehow different from all other strikes. The union claiming all other similar jobs in the area got the deals. We forget that the essence here, the principal of the matter’s core problem, is this attitude. Private sector wage comparisons show a much different picture. It shows that the wage base, and certainly the increases fought about, is already too high. Now I am not saying that wages should be lowered for union workers, but if I did it would be the same argument the union is making and I would feel ridiculously one-sided. As far as driving back to the yard on every break, no employer would find that acceptable. Hey, I’m not in favour of our town management and leadership practices at times either. But what I do know is that unions can make them sound even worse to gain what they need for themselves, namely dues. And that’s perhaps why a signing bonus is not that appealing. Besides that, what company would give a signing bonus and a raise to people unless they have this super unique skill set and a competitor is actively trying to get them to work for them. Feel fortunate and lucky to have a great paying job in Qualicum Beach. It’s rare. Erik DuivEnvoorDE Qualicum Beach

signing Bonus idea is an oxymoron

It seems to have become a common tactic that when public servants (including teachers) and their respective unions commence wage negotiations, demands or offers from the employer, usually include a “signing bonus” clause, just as is the case in Qualicum Beach. I may be a little behind the times, but I always thought a “signing bonus” was something a star athlete/person would be offered to stimulate/ coax them to join for reasons that their particular talents exceed the market and becomes that inducement to join a particular organization for mutual benefit. But in the forum of negotiations at any level of public service employment, isn’t this concept just an oxymoron? Upon renewal of general and across-theboard wage negotiations, the concept of a signing bonus loses its value. The characteristics of “exceptional talents” and “special talents” that are not readily found in the open employment market and thusly diffused in its value. Therefore, if there is no particular added value that the union of employees bring to the table, is the demand or offer for a “signing bonus” a cunning tactic, as in, an exhortative request? If it is just a simple negotiating tactic, then my instructions to my representatives is to walk from the table. Should any level of governmental management (as apparently it has been known to have taken place in the past, of newsworthy settlements) capitulated to a “signing bonus” perk, are they then not part of a “collusive action” as it relates to my money/tax dollars? We as rate payers need to express to all levels of governments and managers therein that we should mind our perspective roles and remember that when tax dollars/our dollars are dealt with in the willy-nilly, there may be repercussions from “we the people.” Camillo Tofano Qualicum Beach

The North Island Wildlife Recovery Association says a study just released gives the credibility that NIWRA has have been looking for. The centre’s main goal is to release bear cubs like the one above to continue their lives as they were designed to do and to keep the public safe.

North IslaNd WIldlIfe recovery assocIatIoN

SYLVIA CAMPBELL Special to The NEWS

For the past 20 years, the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre has been rehabilitating black bears on Vancouver Island. It has always been a controversial subject between wildlife rehabilitators and those who believe that captive bears cannot successfully be released back out into the wild. Finally after three decades a research article has been released speaking to this subject and the reading is very interesting. John Beecham, an expert in these matters and mentor of our founder Robin Campbell, has finally made his finding available to the general public. The rehabilitation of bears for release is expanding globally because of increased human interaction. Data gathered from around the world show orphaned bear cubs are kept in captivity for two to 14 months and are released in areas with suitable habitat components. The report examined the fates of 550 captive-reared

bears raised in 12 geographically disparate areas across three continents under a variety of management regimes in an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of raising orphaned bear cubs for release back to the wild. Their analyses reduce many uncertainties surrounding the fate of captive-reared bears and provide evidence that releasing orphaned bears back to the wild is a defensible management alternative. Captive-reared bears released to the wild met the primary and secondary definitions of success; survival rates, human conflict levels, and reproduction by captive-reared and released bears in this study were comparable to those reported for wild bears. The options when faced with an orphaned bear cub are: leave them and let nature take its course, put them in permanent captivity, euthanize them, or place them in a captive-rearing facility for release back to the wild at a future date. The North Island Wildlife Recovery Association responded many years ago to

the public outcry and demand for giving orphaned bear cubs a second chance. At that time, founder Robin Campbell met with government officials along with other interested parties to successfully devise a plan to change the Wildlife Act. The society has spent more than $400,000 of public money to build a treatment centre, three bear enclosures for infant bears, junior bears and bears being prepared for release. Bears may stay at the centre for up to 18 months depending on the scarcity or abundance of food sources upon release. The study just released gives the credibility that NIWRA has have been looking for. The centre’s main goal is to release these cubs to continue their lives as they were designed to do and to keep the public safe. To support this bear rehabilitation program, please visit NIWRA’s website at www.niwra.org - Bear Share Program. — Sylvia Campbell, Wild ‘n Free columnist for The NEWS, is the co-founder of NIWRA.

Aggressive Outlander bucks the power trend WHISTLER – The Mitsubishi Outlander is Inside The Outlander competes with the a bit of an anomaly in the compact utility Nissan Rogue and Kia Sorento for market. buyers wanting a seven-passenger, While most manufacturers sell three-row compact crossover. Unlike 4-cylinder or turbocharged 4-cylinder the 4-cylinder Nissan, the Outlander versions in great number, it’s the V6 only offers seating for seven passengers equipped Outlander that is the best in the V6 models, so the Sorento is the seller here in Canada, totally against closest competitor. Both share roughly the current trend. It might be that the It is good to the same dimensions too. The updates previous V6 version was more refined, to the back seats include a much easier quieter and had a conventional 6-speed see that Mitsubishi is moving back to to fold second row of seats and the automatic transmission, compared to third row is still best for small children the rather loud, lacklustre 4-cylinder a more aggressive and only for shorter trips. The other model. Well, for 2016 Mitsubishi wants looking utility changes are the new thicker steering to build on the success of the V6 vehicle. wheel with chrome trim around the model and try to sell more 4-cylinder centre and new switches. The display versions by paying attention to styling, Zack Spencer audio screen has been updated to refinement and drivability. provide redundant tabs and switches Looks around the outside; this treatment has also been used The last update for the Outlander was just two on navigation-equipped cars. Overall the cabin is well years ago and it is good to see that Mitsubishi is designed and roomy especially for the first two rows moving back to a more aggressive looking utility of seats. 4-cylinder models get a useful storage area vehicle. Not all small crossovers need to look under the rear cargo floor, the space used to store the aggressive but the previous model was so devoid third row seats in V6 equipped models. of personality, it blended into the background. The Drive updated 2016 model comes with a whole new front Another reason that Canadians opted for the V6 grille treatment, front pumper, even available LED models in the previous version was the much better headlamps and tail lamps. Mitsubishi might be driving experience, something that needed, and was, accused of borrowing from the recent Lexus front improved for 2016 4-cylinder trim levels. There is design; the bold chrome accents do look similar to new acoustic glass to remove road and wind noise, the Lexus Spindle grille. Along the lower part of the more insulation between the cabin and the engine doors is a metallic trim piece that helps break up the compartment and attention paid to the continuously body. The top GT trim is the one that gets standard variable transmission (CVT). Mitsubishi claims that 18-inch wheels but they can be ordered on lower the updates to the 4-cylinder transmission reduce trim levels as an option. Same for the power tailgate, friction and the wider range of available ratios helps it is reserved for the top V6 GT trim.

this vehicle make a run to 100km/h one second faster than the previous 4-cylinder. The 166hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has been carried over but the improvements made to this model have transformed this Outlander. It has gone from a rough and ready vehicle to a refined, quiet and pleasurable place to spend time. The 224hp 3.0L V6 is still the one to get if you want to tow up to 3500lbs. and the inclusion of a conventional 6-speed automatic makes driving a more predictable experience but this version felt heavier and didn’t handle nearly as well as the 4-cylinder. Verdict The 2016 Outlander starts $25,998 for a FWD 4-cylinder model. The base 4-cylinder AWD starts at $27,998. All V6 equipped Outlanders come standard with AWD and 7-passenger seating and the starting price is $31,198. The most expensive GT trim tops out at $38,498. Mitsubishi is introducing a new trim for the 2016 model year that includes a lot of the higher end features found in the V6 but offer it in a 4-cylinder model. It is the ES Touring with a power sunroof, 18-inch wheels, display audio, satellite radio and few other goodies and it starts just under $30,000. Mitsubishi hopes this model, along with the other improvements to the vehicles refinement will win new buyers over. The Outlander competes with a vast field of small utility vehicle but the 7-pasenger V6 offer is what sets it apart; that and the impressive 10-year warranty.

Back for a limited-production run, iconic Plum Crazy exterior paint will be made available on 2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger models. “With our strongest muscle-car arsenal ever, we knew it was time to reach into our Dodge paint code archive and offer our high-performance R/T Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat models in one of the most iconic exterior colors of all time,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and Chief Executive Officer – Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, FCA – North America. Earmarked for the eye-catching paint job are the 707-horsepower SRT Hellcat models and 485-horsepower naturally aspirated R/T Scat Pack models. Since 1970, Plum Crazy has been one of the most desired paint colors for the Dodge Challenger and Charger. Today, the enthusiast demand for this heritage hue is stronger than ever – as the signature paint color is directly associated with high collectability and the famed “Mopar-or-no-car” legacy. Add in the widest performance range ever for the 2016 Challenger and Charger, and there hasn’t been a better time to paint the Dodge brand’s iconic muscle car arsenal in the nostalgic color. Limited edition models and limited production paint colors add collectability, accounting for less than 11 percent of the entire global production of Dodge Charger and Challenger to date. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Learn to hugelkultur in QB Workshop set for this weekend AUREN RUVINSKY

writer@pqbnews.com

We’ve long been a proud champion of putting Women’s health first and our commitment has never been stronger.

This Saturday is your chance to learn to hugelkultur. The people behind the Kwalikum Food Forest are hosting a workshop Aug. 22 on the gardening process using raised beds of composting material like wood. “We are excited to be hosting a hugelkultur workshop. The perfect garden bed for drought conditions and better over-time productivity,” said instructor Madeleine Dwyer. Along with Robin Ayn-Carson and Forrest Carson, Dwyer will show people how to build the productive gardening system in the hands

on workshop. “Hugelkultur may play a role in the future of sustainable food security,” Dwyer said. Local resources will be used that require minimal fertilization and water once established, she said. They will also cover some basics of permaculture and sustainability, organic gardening and other areas. No gardening experience is required. People should sign up in advance at 250240-6236 or kwalikumfoodforest@gmail.com. Visit www.facebook.com/kssfoodgardens for more details. The cost is “pay what you can,” suggested as $25, running 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The garden is located behind Kwalikum Secondary School, 266 Village Way, Qualicum Beach.

By legislation, council is not allowed to waive the fee for a re-zoning application. On Monday, council did vote unanimously to give the group, through a grant-in-aid, the $2,500 needed to file the application. The re-zoning will come before council at a future date, and it was unclear Monday if the city has any current zoning on its books for this type of facility. During the re-zoning process, it’s mandatory to have a public hearing and council suggested the groups also host an open house to inform the public about their plans. In other news from council’s meeting Monday night: • Council authorized staff to award a contract worth $337,817 to Knappet Industries — the same company doing millions of dollars of Temple Street upgrades — for water main replacement and paving on Ermineskin Avenue. • Coun. Al Greir introduced a motion asking

staff to provide more information, before it hits the agenda, about why certain items are forced behind closed doors, or in camera. His motion also asked that all members of council be present for in camera meetings and that decisions made in camera eventually be made public. Greir preamble, and comments from other councillors on the motion, made mention of editorials in The NEWS about this council’s recent number of in camera meetings. “If this council wants transparency, then we have a responsibility to the public for full disclosure,” said Greir. “There have been occurrences that I feel that some of the discussions we have had did not have to be in camera.” Mayor Marc Lefebvre said items that are discussed behind closed doors are there because provincial legislation allows it and he said “I don’t go in camera lightly.” Greir’s motion was defeated 6-1.

Shoppers Golf Tournament Shoppers Drug Mart focuses on women’s issues AUREN RUVINSKY

writer@pqbnews.com

Organizers of the second annual Shoppers Drug Mart fundraising golf tournament hope to donate more than $15,000 to Haven House in Parksville this year. “We have so many great prizes I really have to think,” said co-organizer Lori White with Shoppers. “We have golf passes, golf bags, restaurant certificates, something from the Canucks, they haven’t told us what yet, gift baskets, spa packages,” she said, giving a partial list. She said Shoppers Drug Mart focuses on women’s issues and the staff chose Haven House because they could see they were doing good work and are always short of funds. The Parksville Qualicum Haven House, a

joint project of the Society of Organized Services and Nanaimo based Haven Society, provides shelter to women and children fleeing violence. As The NEWS recently reported the local house hosted 578 stays last year and was full 76 times. Scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Eaglecrest Golf Club, registration opens at 11:30 a.m. with a shot-gun start at 12:30 p.m. Entry is $85 for the best ball format event includes 18 holes, a cart, prizes and burger buffet. The tournament is open to all, but expected to sell out early, so sign up now. To register call White at 250-954-7939, Susan Sherrard at 250927-5018 or either at Shoppers at 250-248-3521. For information on Haven House visit http:// havensociety.com or call 250-248-3500. To access the shelter call 1-888-756-0616. Anyone experiencing abuse or any immediate danger should call 911.

BSS graduate Maria Milligan, going to UVIC, and KSS graduate Sydney Elston, going to VIU received the Secondary School Scholarships.

Island artist gets inspiration from Africa From the African Congo CARLI BERRY reporter@ pqbnews.com

Jacques De Backer gets inspiration from the time in his life where he lived in the Congo in Africa. At the Old School House Arts Centre on Aug. 12 De Backer showcased his work, which ranged from realistic paintings of cows, to childish birds and animals, to paintings of Vancouver Island that looked so realistic, they could have been photographs to the untrained eye. Originally from Belgium, he said he’s travelled all over, but spent 45 years living in Africa where he draws much of his inspiration from. “I’ve always painted. You know I started painting in oils when I was about 12 years old.” He went to commercial art school in Belgium, he said and worked for four years in commercial art before moving to Africa. He said he spent 25 years in Central Africa and 20 years in South Africa. While in the Congo, he said he met a large amount of primitive artists. “I got to know a lot of them… they influenced my art.”

The basic art form and the African inspiration shows in his colourful paintings of animals as they appear simplistic and vibrant. “They are totally 100 per cent me,” he said. When explaining his other pieces, he said he uses photographs and still nature to paint them. He’s even lined a whole wall of the arts centre with paintings of cows. “The zulu people of South Africa have cows with all these different spots on them and they’re very popular,” De Backer said. “Cows are beautiful,” he said. “I paint what pleases me.” De Backer now lives in Cumberland in the Comox Valley and the influences from the island are apparent in his realistic designs. He has paintings of Qualicum Beach, the Englishman River and scenes from Nanoose and Errington. He said some of the hardest paintings to paint are the realistic pieces. “The water in the river there, that would be the hardest to paint.” All his paintings are done with oilbased paints. “I work exclusively in oil because it’s

De Backer’s artwork can be found at TOSH until to Sept 5.

The Knox United Church will be hosting “Ring for Joy,” a day camp that will allow children to learn how to play handbells and discover the joy of making art. This is the first year of the camp, Joan Patron, handbell choir director said, but she’s a part of an adult handbell choir for three years. The children’s camp is set for Knox United Church in Parksville from Aug. 24-28. Each day from 9 a.m. until noon, students will have the opportunity to

learn two different notes on a bell and collaborate in playing a tune. The first hour each morning will consist of the students learning the skills of ringing the bells, as well as music notation and techniques, Patron said. “They learn to listen to each other,” Patron said. It’s all about teamwork as each student plays two notes on each bell, one in the treble clef and one in the base clef. Each student will then learn to time their bell with the others to create a song. By the end of the week Patron said she hopes that the students will be able to perform two pieces of music as a team. “It’s a new experience for them,” she said. The second half of the camp focuses on art creations where students will be

creating fabric pieces and wall hangings. The “Ring for Joy” focuses on the theme of joy and “what gives us joy,” she said. The final day of the camp will consist of a sharing presentation where students will show parents and family members their creations and possibly performances. Patron said she is a seasoned musician and has been teaching in Alberta. Patron said she hopes to have anywhere from eight to 16 children sign up from grades five to eight. To sign up visit the Knox United Church which is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to pick up registration forms or contact the church at 250-248-3927. It costs $10 to join.

The Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra will be finishing off their summer music series with a Summer Themes and Dreams concert at Deep Bay’s Music by the Bay in Bowser. On Aug. 22 the orchestra will play a variety of short pieces like Themes from Harry Potter, Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachmusik, as well as a tango song according to a release issued by the Deep Bay Marine Field Station. Karl Rainer, music director for the orchestra, described the group as a “mixed bag” as the orchestra is made up of amateurs. He said they meet once a week to rehearse for two and a half hours in Nanaimo and have people from Ladysmith to the Courtenay/Comox area come to play. They generally play three classical concerts throughout the year, so Rainer said it’s a treat

to play music like the best of pop and themes from movies and TV shows. “We’re a lot of fun to listen to,” he said. The orchestra consists of all stringed instruments and contains approximately 20 to 25 members that range from new musicians to retired music teachers. The “people who are playing just love to do it,” Rainer said. The orchestra has a different sound than the Nanaimo symphony with their 75 members and brass instruments, Rainer said. “It’s a bit like comparing a rock band to a jazz band.” He said the “symphony has a lot more muscle… we’re the middle of the road, it’s easier to be cleaner with 25 players than 75 players.” They also operate without a conductor, which can be challenging for a new member, Rainer said. “The goal is to develop everyone musically.” He continued that it forces musicians to listen to each other, than to fol-

low someone waving a stick. “We have a lot of fun, not only because we play but how we play.” New members often take two to three concerts to adjust as it is a learning process, he said. Each year student musicians compete to have a spot in the orchestra’s final seasonal concert. This year’s winner was 10-year-old flautist Uei-Young Jung who performed with the orchestra in Qualicum Beach in June. The Deep Bay concert station is also a great place for performers, he said. The concert area has great acoustics because of the high ceiling and a cement floor and the audience can come up and get close to the band, Rainer said. The orchestra has been around for 11 years, and Rainer has been director for 10 of them. “It’s a community labour of love to put together,” he said. The concert is at 7 p.m. and tickets can be purchased by calling 250-7406611. Tickets are $20 for the concert.

The CORDEI Harp and Violin Duo will be performing at TOSH on Aug. 23. Above, from left to right are harpist Albertina Chan and violinist Janna Sailor.

thiS Sunday

Dynamic Duo to play at TOSH A rarely heard combination of instruments The Old School House presents the CORDEI Harp and Violin Duo on Aug. 23 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. A unique and rarely heard combination of instruments, Vancouver-based CORDEI creates innovative and colourful programs that are simply spellbinding. For $16 one can see the duo perform on Sunday. Harpist Albertina Chan is a versatile musician, active in both the contemporary and classical realms. She was recently featured performing concertos by Handel, Vivaldi, and Wagenseil with A Company of Instruments Baroque Orchestra. Other notable performances include playing for the 2011 World Harp Congress, the Vancouver Playhouse production of The Fantasticks, The Patrick Street Productions of The Light in the Piazza, and a benefit concert for Dalit Freedom Network of Canada in which she performed Mozart’s Concerto for Harp and Flute. As a chamber and orchestral musician, Albertina has performed for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the Turning Point Ensemble, Music on Main; the Erato Ensemble; and the Vancouver Film Orchestra. She also performs extensively with CORDEI, a contemporary harp and violin duo she founded with violinist Janna Sailor. Albertina earned her Master of Music with Judy Loman at the University of Toronto and her Bachelor of Music with Jennifer Swartz at

McGill University. Previously, she studied in Vancouver with Rita Costanzi and Elizabeth Volpe. Albertina was a recipient of the Anne Adams Award and the 3rd prize winner in the Young Professional Division of the American Harp Society Competition. Violinist and conductor Janna Sailor is firmly established as a musician and musical educator of extraordinary scope and versatility. She began her musical studies at the age of three and was performing with professional orchestras at the age of thirteen. As a conductor, Janna has directed numerous ensembles ranging from choirs, new music ensembles and youth orchestras. Janna currently conducts the Vancouver Youth Symphony Debut Orchestra and will assume the roles of Assistant Conductor with both the National Academy Orchestra of Canada the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra for the 2015-16 season. As a violinist, Janna served as concertmaster with both the Montreal based l’Orchestré de la Francophonie (2011) and the National Academy Orchestra of Canada (2014). Janna enjoys a diverse career performing alongside artists such as Barbra Streisand, Michael Bublé, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Kenny G, Mary J. Blige, Chris Botti, The Canadian Tenors, Il Volo, Frank Sinatra Jr., Mary Margaret O’Hara, Carly Rae Jepsen and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, as well as ensembles such as Tafelmusik. – Submitted by TOSH

ELSPETH MADGE ROSS

19 November 1919 â€“ 11 August 2015 Elspeth Madge Ross, 95, passed away peacefully at her home on 11 August 2015. Her husband Robin and her son Ian predecease her. She is survived by a number of nieces and nephews and their families, as well as her daughter-in-law Melody. The daughter of Franklin M. and Elizabeth (nĂŠe Farrish) Ritchie, Elspeth was born on 19 November 1919 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. During World War II, Elspeth was a colonel in the U.S. Womenâ€™s Army Corps later stationed in Europe. Previously, while studying in Scotland, she met her future husband Robin, and after marrying in India in 1945, she and Robin (then a member of the Indian Civil Service) remained in India until 1947. Returning to England where they adopted their son Ian in 1953, the couple decided to move to Canada in 1957, and Robin later began work at the University of Toronto, eventually becoming Registrar. Elspeth returned to school to acquire a Masterâ€™s degree in Library Science and went on to work as a librarian. After retiring, the couple moved to Qualicum Beach in the late 1980s where both were active members of the congregation at St. Columba Presbyterian Church and the Qualicum Beach Golf Club. Elspeth was particularly involved with the Qualicum Beach Museum and Historical Society, working tirelessly for years as a volunteer to help expand the archives. A Service of Interment will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, 28 August, in the Memorial Garden at St. Columba Presbyterian Church in Parksville, where Elspethâ€™s ashes will be placed next to those of her husband. Refreshments to follow.

MYLES STANLEY NOVAK Born September 30, 1938, passed away peacefully at home in Parksville on August 12, 2015

Pre-deceased by their infant son Stephen, Myles is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Adriana (Anne), daughters Catherine, Patti and son David (Lisa); Catherineâ€™s three sons, Daniel, Benjamin and Stephen; Pattiâ€™s daughter Mia and son Floyd; David & Lisaâ€™s sons Mitchell and Curtis, and by sister Kerin Mana of Bellingham, WA. Myles was born September 30, 1938 in Calgary and initially attended a one-room school (9 grades) across the road from the family farm in Lyalta, Alberta, followed by schools in Strathmore and San Diego, California. After studying engineering for a year at San Diego State, Myles embarked upon the first of three separate careers when he returned to Canada and joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at age 18. He trained in Regina, then was posted to British Columbia where he served for 24 years at various detachments throughout the province. When he retired from his position in 1982, he was in charge of the plainclothes investigative section at Kelowna Detachment. His second career began when he received his accountantâ€™s and financial plannerâ€™s designations, and practiced for several years in Kelowna. During this time, Myles became involved in federal politics, and was a founding member of the Reform Party of Canada. His activities led to his third career of thirteen years as Executive Assistant to his Member of Parliament. In addition to these occupations, Myles was often found with a hammer in his hand and a tape measure in his pocket, having started building homes with his father as a teenager. He built or finished several of his own homes, and from 2005 to 2014 partnered with his son David on their company, Arbutus Lane Homes. Throughout Mylesâ€™ adult life he was actively involved in community organizations, service clubs and coaching minor sports, devoting countless enjoyable hours to these endeavors. Personal relationships were always one of Mylesâ€™ priorities, and he actively maintained contact with his many friends and former workmates, but his greatest enjoyment came from the closeness of his family. We extend heartfelt thanks to the Nanaimo Regional Hospital Cancer Clinic, Medical Daycare, Dr. Denegri, and a special thank you to Dr. Stephen Noble and the Parksville Home Care Nurses for their excellent care. A Memorial Service will be held at our home 12 Constantine Place, Parksville on August 22, 2015 from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers please donate to you charity of choice in memory of Myles.

Post secondary golf

Morningstar to host nationals

160 of the country’s best university and college golfers coming to Parksville next year T yson Taylor sports@pqbnews.com

Morningstar Golf Course will host the 2016 Canadian University/College Championships. In conjunction with the University of Victoria and Golf Canada, Morningstar is getting ready to host Canada’s largest national championship tournament, with more than 160 of the finest post secondary golfers the country has to offer. “This is a great tournament,” Michael Loftus, VP of sales and marketing at Morningstar said. “It’s Golf Canada’s largest national championship and will showcase the finest university and college golf programs in Canada.” “It’s a tournament that gives both male and female competitors the opportunity to compete for a national title, as well as being able to go to the World University Championships representing Canada.” The tournament will run May 31 to June 3, 2016 in a 72-hole, four-round format. Teams from across the country will play through their qualifying tournaments to get to Parksville for their shot at the national title. “It’s extra motivation for sure,” VIU’s Kyler Bourgeault said. “To have a chance to not only make nationals but to be able to play right in your back yard, that’s a good shot of motivation if I’ve ever heard of one.”

Michael Loftus (Morningstar VP of sales), from left, Bryan Carbery (University of Victoria director of golf) and Bill Klein (Golf Canada) welcome the Canadian University/College National Championships to Morningstar Golf Course in 2016.

“We’re going to have our work cut out for us but we’ll do what we can to try and get there.” Morningstar has hosted a number of Golf Canada events throughout the years, from Canadian tour qualifiers to the CN Future Links. Earlier this year, Brooke Henderson,

from Smith Falls, Ontario, competed as part of the Canadian Women’s Tour event that took place in May. Henderson won her first LPGA tour event this past weekend and was given her LPGA tour card for the upcoming year. “It’s great to be able to host an event like this,” Golf Canada’s Bill Klein said.

“It’s a great course and Golf Canada has had nothing but success when we’ve had events here in the past.” “It makes it easier knowing what you’ve got coming into an event and we’re expecting much of the same in regards to the quality that we’ve had in the past at Morningstar.” This will mark the fourth time the national championships have been held on Vancouver Island, including two stops in Victoria and one in Duncan. Out of the 12 national championships that have been held, Vancouver Island always comes up as a potential destination. “We’ve got the facilities here,” Kevin Oates, Vancouver Island University golf coach and head golf professional at Morningstar said. “Lots of those bigger schools, they might not have everything at their disposal like we do. There are lots of courses to play around here and these facilities that we get to use are top notch.” “Having the room to bring in a large group like this for the national championships is also something that we’re able to do, which again could be a problem in some areas that are already heavily populated,” Oates said. “We’re very fortunate to have such a great combination to be able to host an event like this.”

BSS’ Canil played a big part in Team B.C. gold T yson Taylor

sports@pqbnews.com

Ballenas Secondary School’s Liviano Canil capped off a whirlwind summer with the U-16 Boys Basketball team with a gold medal at the Western Canadian Summer Games in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Canil, heading into Grade 11, played a key role in earning Team B.C.’s gold in their final tournament of the summer. It was quite a way to cap

off an exciting summer that saw Canil and Team B.C. travel across Canada for tournaments, plus a trip to the Vegas Classic in Nevada. Team B.C. rolled through their competition, opening the tournament with a whopping 123-12 win over Nunavut. Canil and Team B.C. rolled to a 69-59 win over Saskatchewan in game two. In their third game Team B.C. came away with an 86-41 win over Alberta

Canil was leaned on in Team B.C.’s final tournament of the summer to lock down opposing team’s scoring threats. He was able to showcase his defensive skills and help lead his team through an undefeated round-robin portion of the tournament, all the way to the gold medal. “It’s nice to help any way you can,” Canil said. “Being called upon to step up on the defensive side of things really gave

Generals head into pre-season action First home game is against Nanaimo Aug. 26 T yson Taylor sports@pqbnews.com

The Save-On-Foods Oceanside Generals kick off their 25th anniversary season tomorrow (Friday) with a pre-season game against the Nanaimo Buccaneers in Nanaimo. After last weekend’s training camp, the Generals have narrowed their roster down and have the team in place for the start of their pre-season games. In total, the Generals will play five exhibition games before the season kicks off on September 11 against the defending Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) and Cyclone Taylor Cup champions, the Campbell River

Storm. “We had a good camp,” defenseman Chandler Bruyckere said. “We’re going to be a skilled, tough team. Coach Knight brings out that hard work aspect of the game and told us we’re going to be that team that nobody wants to play against because we’ll be in good shape and tough to get past.” “I’ve got a great feeling about this season, it’s going to be good,” Bruyckere said. The Generals play their first home exhibition game next week on Wednesday night (August 26), when they host the Nanaimo Buccaneers. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. at Oceanside Place in Parksville.
