A nightmare scenario turned into a good news story Tuesday after-noon when a three-year-old girl was found safe at home after a high-energy search by police and the public.
RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman said he was impressed with the response from the public when word got out the girl might be missing in the Sylvan Crescent area of Parksville at 1:40 p.m. Tuesday. Police and Arrowsmith Search and Rescue reacted swiftly and helicopters were seen searching the area, seemingly only 10-20 metres above the rooftops of homes.
In the end, the search was called o� at 2:45 p.m. when the girl was found safe at home, despite multiple searches of the house by the fam-ily and police before the wider e� ort was unleashed.
“She was very small and was (sleeping) in a crack in the couch un-der a blanket,” Foreman told � e NEWS. “She woke up as if nothing happened.”
Foreman said he was impressed with the response from the public. He said residents living near Sylvan Crescent and the Mark’s Park area came out of their houses right away and joined the search, along with some construction workers and roofers who were busy in the area.

Michelle Stilwell has read the letters to the editor and comments in other media critical of her absences from this region while she com-petes on the world wheelchair racing scene.
� e Parksville Qualicum MLA was asked what she thought about those criticisms in an interview with � e NEWS this week.
“It’s not a� ecting me because I know I’ve been working hard,” said Stilwell. “We’ve been helping constituents for the past couple of months.”

Still no answers to what’s in the safe
See EDITORIAL, page A10
JOHN HARDINGeditor@pqbnews.com
The mystery of the safe continues.Despite the efforts — provided free of charge — by Island Lock
owner Aaron Weikom, the safe found when the old Thwaites Norris building was demolished last week in downtown Parksville would not give up its secrets Tuesday afternoon.
Weikom figured out the combination, but it seems time (about 80 years) has rusted the safe shut.
A representative of the Thwaites family, Jill Bonnell (nee Thwaites), and a member The NEWS team, were on hand Tuesday afternoon for the opening, but it didn’t happen.
The safe was discovered Aug. 14 when a crew from Parksville Heavy Equipment was demolishing the old building at the corner of Hirst Avenue and the Alberni Highway, which is owned by the Vancouver Island Insurance Centre (VIIC).
The VIIC remains open for business just around the corner on Hirst while constriction of a new building continues.
The insurance centre’s branch manager, Karyn Lehmann, quick-ly called the Thwaites family about the find on Aug. 14 and handed the save over to Bonnell.
Check pqbnews.com for updates on the contents of the safe.
Local residents alleging some are harvesting illegallyJOHN HARDINGeditor@pqbnews.com
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans needs your help.
The NEWS has received numerous calls and letters from residents expressing concern about people allegedly overharvesting shellfish from local beaches.
A spokesperson for the federal government department that sets the rules regarding salt-water fisheries urges people who believe they are witnessing illegal activity to call their toll-free line.
“We are asking for help from the public to prevent illegal harvesting of shellfish,” said the DFO’s Diane Lake.
The number to call is 1-800-465-4336.The Parksville Qualicum Beach area is within
the DFO’s Area 14. The subareas involved from Nanoose Bay through to Deep Bay (the shore-lines only) are areas 14-1, 14-4 and 14-5. The bulk of this shoreline (subareas 14-1 and 14-4)
is closed to all bivalve shellfish except manila clams, littleneck clams, oysters and mussels. Subarea 14-5, in the northern reaches of our re-gion, is closed only to butter clams.
Recreational harvesters are allowed to take geoducks in our region, with a limit of three per day, but not in most of the region. Callers to The NEWS have said they have witnessed large groups of people taking geoducks from the Ea-glecrest beach at the end of Yambury Road (the access is off Butterball Drive).
According to the DFO website, due to sani-tary contamination concerns, there is no har-vesting of bivalve shellfish in the following areas in our region: Base Flats, Boat Cove, Campbell River, Comox Harbour, Craig Creek, Deep Bay, Elma Bay, False Bay, Kitty Coleman Beach to Little River, Kye Bay, Little Qualicum River, Mud Bay, Parksville Bay, Qualicum Beach, Union Bay, Wall Beach.
You can find a table of limits, closures and other information on this part of the DFO’s website: www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/species-especes/shelltable-tableaucoquille-eng.html

This popular beach access off Butterball Drive in Eaglecrest is a great spot for families, as seen above on Tuesday, but residents say it’s also a popular spot for the illegal harvesting of shellfish.

APOCALYPSE AVERTED: The Craig Street Market in Parksville found itself faced with a zombie invasion Tuesday. Fortunately, the Zombie Outbreak Response Team raced to the scene and was able to corral the undead visitors before they ate any brains. The event was held to raise awareness of the need to support the food bank.

More than just a horseback rideThe Errington Therapeutic Riding Association helps physically and mentally disabled children, youth and adults develop confidence, stability, body awareness and more. It relies on volunteers and donations.
riding for therapy
LISSA ALEXANDERreporter@pqbnews.com
When Grace Dean enrolled her five-year-old son Jonathan in the Err-ington Therapeutic Riding Asso-ciation he couldn’t walk, but that changed this year.
“Walking is huge for us because he’s about 60 pounds, I can’t carry him anymore,” she said.
Jonathan was born with Charge Syndrome, a complex sensory deprivation disorder. He’s also le-gally blind and deaf, he has a tracheostomy, which means he’s tube fed, and he has development de-lays. Jonathan was nervous when he first started riding last year. He wouldn’t touch the horse and he didn’t want to put the helmet on, Dean said.
“It takes some getting used to but now when he sees the helmet there’s a smile, he knows exactly what he’s doing…he’s excited.”
Dean said the riding has helped with Jonathan’s balance, his stability and his confidence, and once
he was into his second 11-week session, he began to walk. He now also pets the horse and touches his mane.
The Errington Therapeu-tic Riding Association (ETRA) opened its doors in 1989 in Err-ington. The association moved operations to Arbutus Meadows in Nanoose Bay and two years
ago it moved to Pyramid Stables in Lantzville. The association requires about $50,000 a year to fund two 11-week training sessions, where 40 physically and mentally disabled children, youth and adults get to ride the horses with assistance. The Spring Session, which wrapped up in June, had around 25 per cent of its clients from the Parksville Qualicum Beach area. Jonathan lives in South Nanaimo with his mom and sister. During each session there are five one-hour lessons with a maximum of four cli-ents per lesson. About 50 volunteers are required to run a session.
President of the association, Barry Galenzoski, said funding can be a struggle. The association charges a fee to the client for the program, about $16 a ride, and the remaining $37,000 is raised through fundraising and by donors.
The Coast Capital Savings’ Vancouver Island Young Leaders Community Council announced a $5,000 donation to ETRA last month.
Dean, who is a single mother and works full time, said she very grateful to donors like Coast Capital Savings.
“I’m very grateful for the program and the dona-tions are incredibly appreciated because it makes
it possible for [Jonathan] to be able to go.”Galenzoski said since he’s been volunteering
with the association, nearly five years, there has always been a waiting list for the program. In fact they’ve had to cut the list off at 20 people. Most of the clients are repeat, he said, and as long as they are developing in some positive manner, they con-tinue with the program. He was involved with a therapeutic riding association in Winnipeg before he moved to Vancouver Island. He said he’s seen the programs make a huge difference in people’s lives, and that’s one of the main reasons he got in-volved.
“You could just see the benefit for the client do-ing the riding, when you get involved in this it’s so
heart warming to see what goes on there,” he said. Galenzoski said he’s seen children go from non-verbal to verbal, among many other benefits. “It just shocks the parents sometimes,” he said.
Coast Capital Savings Credit Union has branch-es around Vancouver Island as well as Metro Van-couver and the Fraser Valley. In 2012 it launched three youth-led councils to address and support key issues for youth in these regions. Each council is comprised of four emerging leaders 30 years and under, along with four Coast Capital employees.

With a life story that would aptly � t into the pages of a Charles Dickens novel, John and Mary St. John’s lives have been one adventure, or miss-adventure after another... running Pubs/Restaurants and Chauffeurs to the Rich and Famous, was just
part of it... details of which can be found between the cover of John’s book “Working Class Hero.”
In 2007 making what was their 40th move the family came to Parksville and even though they had never been to Vancouver Island before, they knew that this was where they were meant to be. With nowhere to live, no jobs or money they had nowhere to go, but up. Against all odds they decided to stay and Mary soon found herself working at Brit Foods, while John kept himself busy with a multitude of jobs including driving the Parksville Downtown Free Bus.
As the years passed by the both knew that this was where they wanted to settle, Mary, who was now managing Brit Foods had become as well liked by the customers as the groceries and sweets she sells... but John who had spent years in the food and service industry and as an ex-chef/manager at the St. George and Dragon in England, knew that something was missing in their life.
Over their 26 years in Canada he and Mary had cooked for private functions on many occasions and had been told over and over, that they should open their own restaurant. So when they saw the British Bobby restaurant was for sale - John knew that was the missing part, and this was an opportunity not to be missed.
Once more against all odds, they took over the business on June 1st. Now John’s wealth of knowledge of British food preparation and recipes from all around Britain could be put to good use. Mary was selling British Groceries and now John was Serving British food, a partnership, that just like them... was meant to be.
Serving fresh and health food was top of their agenda, no fast, tasteless, packed with preservatives junk here, just good wholesome British favorites, like Fish & Chips, Steak & Kidney Pies, Real Mushy Peas, even things like Liver & Onions are now featured daily... and as John say’s; “Running a restaurant is hard work and making and serving good food is more of a labor of love than a job, you have to love what you do, the service, surroundings and atmosphere, are all equally important.
It’s a total package deal and we want our customers to enjoy every aspect of their visit with us.” We love to get feedback and encourage suggestions on how we may improve things and any ideas for new British favorites
The sign on our kitchen wall say’s it all:
“Treat every meal as if it was for someone you LOVE”.

“What was clear from the start was commu-nity members were not going to rest until the girl was located,” Foreman said later Tuesday in a news release. “It was moving to see every neighbour, resident, construction worker, city employee and child out in the street and in
the parks immediately mobilizing and search-ing. We are blessed to live in a safe area where neighbours care for one another.”
“The community came together like some-thing I’ve never seen before,” Foreman told The NEWS. “In the end, a very positive story.”

‘A very positive story’
The actual bylaw could come to council for a vote in the fallAUREN RUVINSKYwriter@pqbnews.com
When a local business wants to work in Nanaimo or Comox they need business licenc-es in those cities, but Parksville city council has agreed in prin-cipal to establish a mid-Island wide licensing system.
On Monday council agreed to join the regional effort to create an Inter-Community Business Licence at the Parks-ville and District Chamber of Commerce’s urging.
The regional licence wouldn’t have any im-pact on the individual licences each municipal-ity already has, but a licensed Parksville busi-ness for example could pay the $150 and have access to all the other municipalities from Dun-can to Campbell River.
“This is something I’ve been able to take ad-
vantage down in Victoria,” said councillor and local business owner Peter Morrison. “I think it will be really useful and cut back on a lot of pa-per work… and it make sense for us.”
“I’m really excited about this,” said coun. Carrie Powell-Davidson. “The idea of having access to a larger market is just smart, it’s bet-
ter for business. What’s good for Parksville is good for Parks-ville, what’s good for all of Van-couver Island is also good for Parksville.”
The chamber has said the inter-community licence, which is used in several other regions in the province, will
make things much more efficent for business-es, provide them with better market acess and give consumers greater choice of service pro-viders.
Once all the municipal councils in the region agree in principal it will go back to a regional committee to develop the actual bylaw in the fall which each council will then consider.

MLA becomes emcee at Kidfest eventStilwell, a multi-gold-winner at the
Paralympics, recently competed at the world championships in France, where she won two gold medals and set a new world record.
Stilwell said she has been busy at-tending a number of local events, including last weekend’s Kidfest in Parksville where she stood in as emcee. She said a number of local issues have been keeping her busy, including the
newly-opened Oceanside Health Cen-tre and the ongoing saga of the possi-ble re-start of passenger rail service on the Island.
“I’ve been pretty focussed on learn-ing my role as MLA,” Stilwell said. “I’m trying to get a feel for whatever is going on — the more we talk with people, the more we learn.”
While the phones haven’t been hooked up yet, Stilwell’s Parksville
constituency office is open on the 1200 block of the Island Highway, in the same shopping plaza as Serious Cof-fee.
Stilwell won election as a B.C. Liber-al Party MLA on May 14 in a landslide, trouncing her nearest opponent, the NDP’s Barry Avis, by more than 3,500 votes and garnering more than 50 per cent of the popular vote in the constit-uency.

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

Central Island residents hoping to do some camping on the weekend got some good news from the Coastal Fire Centre this week.
However, they’re going to have to travel up Island if they want to take advantage of the lifting of campfire restrictions. Effective at noon on Tues-day, campfires will be permitted from Courtenay north.
The campfire prohibition remains
in place in the Coastal Fire Centre on-Vancouver Island south of a line drawn through Nootka Sound just south of Gold River) to Brean Road, just north of Buckley Bay.
Open fires are allowed on the fol-lowing islands: Texada Island, Har-wood Island and islands north of those islands. Open fires are not allowed on Nelson Island, Hornby Island, Den-man Island, Lasqueti Island and is-lands south of those islands.
Before lighting any fire, residents should check with local authorities re-garding any current restrictions.

A10 www.pqbnews.com Thursday, August 22, 2013 The Parksville Qualicum Beach News
There have been a lot of letters to the editor and stories written this summer about shell-
� sh harvesting on the beaches of Parksville Qualicum Beach.
Some residents believe — and there’s no reason to doubt them — people are illegally harvesting shell� sh, especially the huge and elusive geoduck.
� e federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) suggests people call their toll-free line when they suspect illegal activity (1-800-465-4336).
We understand there are cutbacks and � nding a con-servation o� cer — either provincial or federal — is no easy task. � ese few o� cers now have large regions to pa-trol and many duties.
Often, when a business or government agency can’t af-ford real people any longer, they ramp up their websites in an e� ort to partially � ll the gap. � e DFO website has a lot of information but it’s very di� cult to navigate. We’re talking maps and layers and tables and overlays and, well, just � nding where you can or cannot harvest shell� sh is a half-day chore. And that’s if you’re web savvy.
Unfortunately, the people who take what they want, in the amounts they want, with no regard for the species or sanitary closures or red tide warnings, don’t likely read rants like this or pay attention to websites or warnings. We hope their stories don’t end with sick or dead family members or friends, but that’s not out of the question.
Nor is the endangerment of certain shell� sh species out of the question if this illegal harvesting continues. Old-timers in the area will remember a time when pit-lamp-ing was allowed to catch herring, which almost destroyed that � shery and forced a closure for many years.
Relying on residents to tattle is no way to handle con-servation. � e DFO needs to do a much better job, for the sake of residents (aka the taxpayers who fund the depart-ment) and the species it is charged to protect.
� at means up-to-date signage at every beach access, an easier-to-navigate website and more on-the-ground sta� (summer students from marine biology courses?) during the busy summer months.
If federal o� cials bury their heads in the sand beside the geoducks on this issue, it may spell the end of a fun, educational and tasty part of life in Parksville Qualicum Beach.

Gay outraGe ironicDon’t you love irony? It’s almost as amus-
ing as its close cousin, hypocrisy.Lately, there’s been nothing more enter-
taining than listening to Bible-toting poli-ticians spluttering in indignation at Putin’s new ‘hateful’ anti-gay law, which, upon examination, actually pales in hateful-ness when compared to their own Biblical Mosaic law which condemns homosexuals to death. (Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomina-tion; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”)
One would assume that these poster-boy Christians would be congratulating Pu-tin for at least giving a nod to the anti-gay teachings of their Bible. Instead, we see these pious politicos berating Russia’s intol-erance and grinning for the cameras in Gay Pride parades.
Love that irony. Thank God we’re athe-ists.

railway recklessIf our new federal transportation min-
ister Lisa Raitt is at all well informed, she would be well advised not to press for a new contract between Via Rail and ICF (E&N Railway).
With the poor condition of the tracks and trestles being well documented, VIA Rail’s culpability in the event of an acci-dent involving injuries or property damage would be undeniable. Running passenger or freight on this line without proper resto-ration would be tantamount to reckless en-
dangerment.So really, the question for taxpayers is:
do you support spending over $100 million to restore the E&N Railway and then further agreeing to large annual subsidies?
Jim BergotQualicum Beach
More Music pleaseMake your past your present: This is the
slogan of the Alberni Pacific Railway.As expected our grandson Luke also
became an enthusiastic passenger as his brothers did in previous years.
This time there was a prelude to this event, connected to the railway station is to be found a 100-year-old Buick-McLaughlin automobile and yes… in excellent running order; as well trucks and other interest-ing mobiles were on display, like a cement three-wheeler turning 360 degrees.
After we arrived from the train ride and were greeted and instructed by James the tour guide and offered delicious cold water we marched towards the Mclean Mill Na-tional site.
We listened to his funny and most enter-taining explanations regarding the sundry historical buildings on this venue and I ex-pected an invitation to follow of walking to the small theater for some excellent enter-tainment as offered before.
To my surprise and disappointment this was not happening due to reducing the overall cost of this excellent event. The thought came to my mind that it would be wonderful if this missing part could be filled through volunteer entertainers in future.

what we deserveOur system is becoming so convoluted
that we cannot even suggest democratic responsibility without sending up with red flags of disrespect or worse.
Don’t get me wrong, striving to improve oneself and compete at the level that ath-letes like Michele Stilwell is doing is truly amazing and commendable. This does not, and I repeat does not, allow an elected del-egate to multi-task at the expense of their elected responsibilities.
No person can multi task, that is a misno-mer. A human being can only do one thing at a time and while doing one thing, other options are not being done. Driving and us-ing a cell phone is an example. That is why we have divorces when too much time is spent making money or at the bar and not enough time is spent at the home fires.
Ultimately, we get what we deserve. All things even out. If we are too weak to stand up to injustice, we get injustice. If we think things are just fine, things will not change. When we vote we get what we deserve.
This does not, however, overshadow our responsibility to improve our electoral sys-tem or to not hold our elected representa-tive’s feet to the fire.
I never won any athletic medals of excel-lence. I was always too average, not “athlet-ic” enough or too “not athletic” enough to really win anything. I simply worked hard most of my life and many times at two jobs trying to improve one’s life and make a bet-ter place for future generations.
To lower the expected standard of trust-ed elected positions out of convenience, is a very bad thing to do. This I know to be true.

We asked: Should patrols on local beaches be increased to protect the shellfish?
I think so,
because I see people
in Nanoose Bay
and French Creek
harvesting all the
time.
Wayne SteWartQualicum Beach
Maybe it doesn’t
need to be increased,
but fisheries need to
spread their focus
around.
Marv McGeeSurrey
I think so. If
people were
patrolling it would
reduce greed from
people who have no
respect for policies

STUDENT ACCIDENTINSURANCE
To Parents/Guardians:The Qualicum School District does not insure expenses for student injuries that occur on school grounds or during school activities. Those expenses are the responsibility of the parent/guardian unless the School Board is proven liable for an injury.Therefore, the Board of Education encourages all parents to obtain student accident insurance, either through their own insurance agent or through a private insurance plan. The Board of Education provides the opportunity for families to voluntarily purchase private accident insurance through the IAP Kids PlusTM plan underwritten by Industrial-Alliance Pacific Life Insurance. During the first week of school, all students will receive a brochure containing information about the voluntary insurance plan and extra copies will be available at each school. The information and registration form can also be found on-line at www.iapkidsplus.com.Board of EducationSchool District No. 69 (Qualicum)

A young man died this month. It was a stark reminder of how fine an edge we dance our whole lives between life and death.
It was an accident. The details are meaning-less. His life, however, was not. That is what matters.
I did not know this young man except by as-sociation with my child.
My daughter was with him and other close friends when the accident occurred. I have read and heard a countless number of similar stories over the years. I have lost family and friends myself. Yet this is the first time I have felt such a tremendous sense of loss. The first time I have really experienced the magnitude of grief that such a loss is capable of. Yes it is, of course, that but for chance, fate or divine intervention it could have been my child.
We spend our lives exposed to love in its many forms. We fall in and out of love. We long for an idealistic version of it. We experience the joy and pain it brings to our lives. We can con-ceptualize how it is for others. We believe we understand what love is.
Then we have children. Until then I don’t believe we can even remotely understand the strength and depth of what love is. It is over-whelming in its power and lasts forever. It is unwavering, unconditional and nothing can dampen it.
And unlike all others in our lives a child be-comes the one thing we can’t bear to imagine losing. We can prepare for the loss of a parent, a sibling or a spouse. I think we do that even subconsciously as we know instinctively life on earth is not eternal. Yet we can’t do this for our children, it is too painful to even contemplate.
As I stood with others waiting and hoping for a miracle ending to a tragic day, holding my daughter, witnessing the grief and loss of others involved, it was a vivid reminder of the magni-tude of love we each have for our children.
For the first time in my life I also realized what it meant to lose a child. It could have been any of the young people in the group, my daughter included, that the accident befell.
I was struck with a heartrending grief for the parents, grandparents, siblings and family that had to endure such a tremendous loss. I felt a terrible guilt at the relief that it was not my child. A helplessness to offer even the slightest word of support to the family. It seemed any-thing would be trivial in the face of their grief.
I will be eternally in awe of the strength and character that the young man’s family showed to each other and to the young people who were with their son at the time he perished.
By seeing that strength I also realized why their son was so well loved by his family and peers. So often children are a reflection of the love and example of their parents. While no words or actions will ever erase the loss, I hope that the love, strength and faith that went into creating such a special young man will also sus-tain the family in this time of loss.
I also saw the great love and support among his young friends, and hope, somehow, that will help them all get through this terrible time.
So often we allow our daily lives to overshad-ow the truly important things in life. We forget to pause and reevaluate, to ground ourselves, to reflect on the good. Perhaps others take this pause more regularly than I.
I will endeavor to do it more often in the fu-ture.
For today my heart goes out to all those who feel the loss of a friend, a relative, a son…
For today, and also hopefully repeatedly in the future, I will try to use love as a guiding force to live my life. I will try to share that love with others so they might live the same.
I also feel a great debt of gratitude for the men and women who responded to the acci-dent. RCMP, Search and Rescue, Parks Staff and Victim Services personnel who went about their respective tasks with professionalism and sincere caring and support for all involved. You all made a difference.
The young man’s name was Lukas Whibley.There is no meaningless life, love ensures it,
that is what matters.Mike Chestnut

It may have been just another transaction at the deli, but boy it irked me.
The woman in front of me at the deli was order-ing her dinner and there was not a single please or thank you to be had in the whole conversation. She might as well have been typing in an-swers at the bank machine for all the humanity she showed the poor girl behind the counter.
I don’t think I’m too much of a rebel when I sug-gest there’s a place in social interactions for basic good manners.
Really. You don’t have to be a
Prissy Purepants to have good manners. They work for everyone. Think of it from an entirely selfish point of view if you must. Displaying good manners makes peo-ple like you more.
They’re even useful if you’re soul is pure evil. Be-cause they make people like you more, it’s easier to ma-nipulate your victims when
the time is ripe.Hey, I’m no
angel. Although my usual swear words include “ C h r i s t m a s ! ” and “Criminy jinkets!” I have been known to use the occa-sional overly-co-lourful phrase in the newsroom. I put this down to my desper-ate need to fit in.
Imagine my horror then, when I heard my own son, my flesh and blood, drop his first F bomb the other day.
We were up on Zipper-mouth Mountain at my mushroom patch when it happened. I was pretty ex-cited, because the weather had broken and it had been raining for three days. I had realistic expectations. I just wanted to find one nice, big yellow chanterelle to wave in the face of my mush-room-picker colleague who scoffed that it was way too early.
Once we hiked through
the bush to my first patch though, it was Bingo! Bin-go! Bingo! We came out of there with three pounds between us and I was feel-ing pretty smug as we hiked up towards patch
number two.Suddenly, Alex’s foot hit
the ground with a different kind of crunch and when he looked down he saw his foot was covered in bees. He’d stepped on a nest and the bees were really, really mad.
“AAAAAHHHH! &*^$#!” he bellowed and jumped back, frantically brushing his legs.
“Owww! ^*&%$!”As any parent can tell
you, in a situation like this, blind instinct steps in. As a father, it was time to act.
“Don’t swear!” I yelled.He was running now,
jumping over logs and swat-ting the air.
“&*%$#!” he yelped. They’re still chasing me! OWWW”
“We don’t use language like that!”
Later that day, over a bottle of calamine lotion, we talked about what hap-pened.
“Come on dad, I was be-ing attacked,” he said. “They got me seven times!”
I like to think of myself as a pretty progressive father, so we eventually worked out a compromise. It is now perfectly OK in the Horn-er household to drop the bomb, but only if you were being swarmed by bees.
This was later amended to include finding yourself cov-ered in leeches — my own personal horror. Although realistically, any vocaliza-tions I made in that scenario would likely be high-pitched beyond human hearing, it’s always a good idea to be sure, manners being so im-portant and all.

If a boat is going to break apart at sea, says Dick Len-nox, it’s most likely to hap-pen when it falls off a wave and slams into the trough of
a wave.When that happens, he said,
the seam between the hull and the deck can peel off, turning the boat into a giant seawater scoop before it goes to the bottom.
That’s not going to happen to the Katharine de Montrose. Lennox made sure of that when he built the unique 45-foot junk-rigged sailboat. Rather than a deck seam, he used two layers of fibreglass that wrap the entire hull, making her seamless and sturdy as they get.
“It was a labour of love,” he said. “It was 30 years in the making in my backyard in Winni-peg.”
Katharine de Montrose was launched in Lake Winnipeg and sailed there until a drought dropped the water level to the point where the ship could no longer be launched.
At that point, Lennox decided to move to the coast and he and his wife sailed her for the next three years out of Vancouver before moving her to French Creek three years ago.
For more on this boat, check out the Life Network’s show, Magnificent Obsessions, which details how and why he built it. It can be accessed at www.locatetv.com/tv/magnifi-cent-obsessions/1900534.
• The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Unit 59 in Bows-er/Deep Bay is looking for a few good people to lend a hand when they race to the rescue of mariners in distress.
The 15-member team has three openings for new members.
Applicants need to live between Fanny Bay and Qualicum Bay, have (or be willing to obtain) a pleasure craft operators certificate and a re-
stricted radio operator’s certificate, a marine basic first aid certificate and a criminal record check.
The unit responds to maritime distress calls and conducts marine search and rescue mis-sions.
Call Larry Highcock at 250-757-8612 or visit www.unit59.ca for more information.
• If you’re thinking of starting to enjoy the boating life, there are a few things you need to know. One of the most important of these of course is how to go boating safely.
That’s not too hard to learn, thanks to the Ballenas branch of the Canadian Power Squad-ron, which is offering a four-session boating ba-sics course starting on Sept. 3 at Kwalikum Sec-ondary School in Qualicum Beach.
If you miss that, don’t fret. The Nanoose Bay chapter of the Canadian Power and Sail Squad-ron is offering a basic boating course starting on Oct. 10 and running until Nov. 7.

Illumination and countdown timers coming to Fern RoadLISSA ALEXANDERreporter@pqbnews.com
Six transportation projects labelled high priority will now get underway in Qualicum Beach as well as changes to traffic signs.
Council approved the recommen-dations by staff at a Monday night council meeting.
The six projects in the Age Friendly Transportation Plan were awaiting ap-proval of funds from ICBC, which will cover $22,500, while the town covers the $61,000 remaining.
A Traffic Sign Review was under-taken by an engineering consultant and a list of approved changes include changes to speed limits, as well as the relocation and removal of unnecessary signs to make the existing ones more
effective. Coun. Tanner disagreed with some of the suggestions in the report, especially the ones pertaining to the deer on the road signs.
“The deer warning signs, they have to stay, In fact I think that they should be expanded to say something to the effect of ‘see a deer expect three.’”
Coun. Willie said he agrees deer is a problem, but he doesn’t think locals need to see a sign five times a day to tell them that deer is a problem in Quali-cum Beach.
“We need to get rid of some of these signs, we’re just a sign-ville out there to the point where you’re not reading them.”
Coun. Luchtmeijer agreed, saying the engineering consultant did an ex-cellent job of “uncluttering” the com-munity in the report.
Some of the changes in the Traffic Sign report include restoring the 50 km/h speed limit on Memorial Ave-nue (from 40 km/h), implementing a
uniform 60 km/h speed limit between Hemsworth Road and the Island Hwy, (instead of the existing 50 km/h and 70 km/hr), and increasing the speed lim-it to 70 km/h on Rupert Road between Hollywood Road and the Railway tracks.
A number of deer warning signs will also be removed and Stop Ahead signs, where the stop signs are visible to ap-proaching motorists.
The following six traffic projects, marked as high priority, will be imple-mented:
Pedestrian countdown timers at Memorial Avenue and Fern Road, an illuminated crosswalk at Fern Road by Quality Foods, a special crosswalk at Village Way and Hemsworth Road, and a special crosswalk and centre median at Highway 19a and Bay Street. Also a special crosswalk, curb extensions and centre median will go in at Memorial Avenue and Garden Road, and Cats Eyes will be replaced, or fixed through-out the town.
QUALICUM BEACH TOWN COUNCIL NEWS
Crosswalks deemed priorities
Town wants to know what it’s getting for $10GLISSA ALEXANDERreporter@pqbnews.com
Whether Kim Burden secures funds to implement a business attraction marketing strategy in the region is still up in the air.
Qualicum Beach town council has asked staff to develop a fee-for-ser-vice agreement before it approves the $10,000 in funding Burden is seeking. A motion approving th funding is ex-pected to come at the next council meeting Sept. 9
Burden, CEO of the Parksville and
District Chamber of Commerce, has been visiting councils trying to get funding to implement the Oceans-ide Initiatives project for a regional Community Information/Business Attraction Marketing Strategy, which is meant to attract “lifestyle entrepre-neurs” and bring more young families and jobs to the region.
Burden and the Chamber of Com-merce needs $60,000 to implement suggestions of a study completed in December of 2012 by Vann Struth Consulting Group. Burden told Qual-
icum Beach town council at a July meeting that he can secure $30,000 from the Vancouver Island Eco-nomic Trust provided those funds are matched — $10,000 each — by the Regional District of Nanaimo, the City of Parksville and the Town of Qualicum Beach. Burden got the $10,000 commitment from Parksville last month.
Coun. Mary Brouilette said Quali-cum Beach has already been working on these type of programs and putting money into them for four years.

BC FERRIES
Bonuses send ‘wrong message’Incentive pay for brass rose when extra subsidy created surplusJeff NagelBlack Press
Despite rising fares and looming service cuts, top ex-ecutives at BC Ferries still collected big performance bo-nuses this year.
President and CEO Michael Corrigan got a $64,421 “incen-tive payment” on top of a base salary that was up eight per cent to $364,000 for a total of $563,000 in overall remunera-tion – the maximum allowed after a cap on payouts was put in place last year.
BC Ferries’ executive com-pensation disclosure says Cor-rigan’s bonus reflects his “ex-emplary leadership” that was borne out by the corporation beating its financial target for the 2012-13 fiscal year.
Chief financial officer Robert Clark got more than $133,000 in incentive pay and executive vice-president Glen Schwartz got an extra $127,000 based on performance.
Both of their bonuses were
almost twice as high as a year earlier and the two collected close to $500,000 overall.
None of the payouts are anywhere near as high as the more than $1 million that for-mer CEO David Hahn received in some past years until he left the corporation and the gov-ernment eliminated addition-al long-term bonuses and im-posed the compensation cap.
Managers were eligible for their full incentive pay this year because of the $15-mil-lion surplus BC Ferries posted for last year.
In the previous two years, they got only half as much in-centive pay because the cor-poration missed its financial targets.
But NDP critic Nicholas Si-mons said the new surplus is a fiction because of the $21.5 million in additional subsidies the province injected.
“The only reason they got their full bonuses was because
the government provided that increased service fee,” Simons said.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone wasn’t available for an interview but issued a statement saying the executive payouts send the “wrong mes-sage” at a time when BC Fer-ries is struggling to reduce its expenses.
He said he will speak to the BC Ferries board to outline the province’s expectations for all executives at Crown corpora-tions.
“While BC Ferries isn’t a Crown corporation, they do receive provincial government funding and we would expect them to follow suit,” Stone said. “Government is tighten-ing its belt, along with many British Columbians, and I be-lieve that BC Ferries should take the same approach.”
Simons, however, said the BC Liberals have had plenty of time to act.
“Four ministers in a row have been saying how dis-appointed or disturbed or shocked they are when they see this exorbitant compensa-tion,” Simons said. “The reality is they’ve done nothing about it.”

drinking and driving
Krog wants driving bans reviewedCourt ruling quashes a roadside driving ban, NDP want whole process to be overhauledJeff NagelBlack Press
The NDP's justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for reviewing roadside driving bans im-posed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling.
Leonard Krog said the government should proactively offer to re-review other cases if the procedure for weigh-ing challenges turns out to have been incorrect.
The B.C. Supreme Court this month quashed one roadside driving ban that had been upheld in the review process, deciding a report setting out guidelines for use of alcohol screening devices was inadmissible.
Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more road-side prohibitions to be appealed.
Krog said the government must be scrupulously fair in how it handles challenges of the penalties, because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the roadside by police, not a judge.
“In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is something we all share, it doesn't mean you get to disre-gard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process,” he said.
“It clearly opens up the possibility of many other people asking for judicial reviews.”
Government lawyers are still re-viewing the implications of the over-turned decision.
But Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-year-old legislation under-pinning the Immediate Roadside Pro-hibitions.
“When you have a new program, you can expect that people are going to take runs at it,” she said. “But funda-mentally, the legislation remains very sound.”
Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohibitions are issued each month and just two per cent on average are successfully challenged.
Alcohol-related fatalities have plunged 51 per cent since the expand-ed system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago — replacing criminal prosecutions of many im-paired drivers — and the government estimates 143 lives have been saved.
Anton said the regulations contin-ue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and then driving.
“People understand the immediate serious consequences that flow from that.”
Drivers who get an Immediate Roadside Prohibition can lose their
driving privileges for up to 90 days, have their vehicle impounded and face hefty fines as well as costly installation of an ignition interlock device in their vehicle.
Documents recently disclosed un-der Freedom of Information show drivers who challenge their rulings to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles aren't told if the screening device used to test them was later found to be in-accurate.
They’re merely told their driving prohibition was deemed invalid, with-out provision of specific reasons, usu-ally weeks after the vehicle was im-pounded and the licence suspended.The province pays towing and storage bills of appellants who are successful.

First time in Canada
Labyrinth Society set to converge
AUREN RUVINSKYwriter@pqbnews.com
Parksville is on its way — though maybe in a circular route — to becom-ing labyrinth central.
There are already a number of per-manent labyrinths in and around the city and there may be more after the 15th annual Gathering of the Laby-rinth Society (TLS), the first outside the United States.
“Labyrinths can change lives simply by putting one foot in front of the oth-er,” local labyrinth builder Holly Carn-egie-Letcher previously told Parksville city council, touted their benefits to mental health.
“A labyrinth is a peaceful pathway that provides an opportunity for a re-laxing, meditative walk,” she said.
She stressed that a labyrinth is not a maze and has one path winding into the centre with no wrong way and no dead ends.
Labyrinths are meant to invoke peace, relaxation, focus, health and fun.
These are among a long list of bene-fits people claim for the 4,000 year-old practice.
Carnegie-Letcher said they don’t know how many people will attend, but previous events have attracted 200 and people are expected from all over the continent, Europe, Australia and Japan.
Based at the Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa and Resort from September 16 to 22, attendees will venture to a wide array of sights and events from tourist attractions to the new featured laby-rinth in Parksville Community Park at the old hovercraft pad and labyrinths at the Sales Organic Blueberry Farm, Parksville Elementary School, Milner Gardens and Woodlands and the Port Alberni hospital.
The gathering with feature re-nowned keynote speakers including local author, former Vancouver Island University Dean and Order of B.C. re-cipient Carol Matthews, whose address will be entitled, “The Metaphor of the Labyrinth: Healing and Transforma-
tion.”Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, a psychia-
trist, Jungian analyst, author and activ-ist, will speak on Friday evening.
Her 11 published books often focus on the circle as a metaphor for strength and unity and this will be the first time that she “centres” specifically on the concept of the labyrinth and its prop-erties.
For more information and tickets for the entire conference visit their website at www.labyrinthsociety.org/annual-gathering.
Tickets for the individual speak-ers are also being made available for purchase at the Pharmasave outlet in Parksville.

Fond Farewell
4-H travels to VictoriaVisitors from New Brunswick had an enriching experience hereAUREN RUVINSKYwriter@pqbnews.com
A group of Parksville/Qualicum 4-H members recently said goodbye to their new friends from New Brunswick as their exchange ended.
Nine local members took part in the Canada 4H Youth Exchange Program and flew to New Brunswick to stay with a 4-H family for a week.
They toured the area and had a great immersive experience getting to know
the people and culture, according to local 4-H Horse Club Leader John Hil-debrandt.
“They enjoyed such sights as the Confederation Bridge and the historic Acadian Village, depicting Canadian life in the 1700’s.
Then, the New Brunswick 4-H mem-bers came here and stayed with local families and toured the area, seeing things like Mt. Washington, Tofino, Ca-thedral Grove, McLean’s Mill and Little
Qualicum Falls, local farms and more.Hildebrandt said a visit to Victoria
was a highlight, where MLA Scott Fra-ser took them on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Legislature buildings.
He said 4-H provides a fantastic ex-perience and offers numerous oppor-tunities for youth to improve their life skills and become positive, enthusias-tic, productive members of society.
Contact a local 4-H member or lead-er to get involved.

Local 4-H members and their exchange parteners from New Brunswick got a special behind the scenes tour of the Parliament Buildings from MLA Scott Fraser.

Liberals out-spent NDP during election campaignTwo main parties spent just over $4 million during the campaign period this year, Green Party spent $180,000Jeff NagelBlack Press
The BC Liberals spent $11.75 million this year on their way to a come-from-behind provincial elec-tion victory.
The governing party, which listed $8.5 million in donations, out-spent the NDP, which listed spend-ing of $9.4 million and received $9.7 million.
The disclosures released by Elections BC Mon-day include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period when specific limits apply.
The Liberals spent more in advance of the May
15 election.Within the 60-day campaign itself, the Liberals
spent nearly $4.3 million to the NDP's $4.1 million.Corporate contributors gave $5 million in dona-
tions to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources.
NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations.
The Green Party of B.C., which won its histor-ic first seat in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, did so on spending of just $180,000.
The Green Party spent more than the B.C. Con-servative Party, which listed $155,000 in expenses.
The central party expenses don't count the addi-tional spending at the local level by individual can-didates or constituency associations.
Organizations that filed expense reports as elec-tion advertising sponsors ranged from large groups like the B.C. Teachers Federation and the Mining Association of B.C. to tiny ones like Kamloops Moms for Clean Air and Denman Opposes Coal.
The bulk of sponsors were teachers unions, other labour organizations, or environmental groups.

Fond Farewell
4-H travels to VictoriaVisitors from New Brunswick had an enriching experience hereAUREN RUVINSKYwriter@pqbnews.com
A group of Parksville/Qualicum 4-H members recently said goodbye to their new friends from New Brunswick as their exchange ended.
Nine local members took part in the Canada 4H Youth Exchange Program and flew to New Brunswick to stay with a 4-H family for a week.
They toured the area and had a great immersive experience getting to know
the people and culture, according to local 4-H Horse Club Leader John Hil-debrandt.
“They enjoyed such sights as the Confederation Bridge and the historic Acadian Village, depicting Canadian life in the 1700’s.
Then, the New Brunswick 4-H mem-bers came here and stayed with local families and toured the area, seeing things like Mt. Washington, Tofino, Ca-thedral Grove, McLean’s Mill and Little
Qualicum Falls, local farms and more.Hildebrandt said a visit to Victoria
was a highlight, where MLA Scott Fra-ser took them on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Legislature buildings.
He said 4-H provides a fantastic ex-perience and offers numerous oppor-tunities for youth to improve their life skills and become positive, enthusias-tic, productive members of society.
Contact a local 4-H member or lead-er to get involved.

Local 4-H members and their exchange partners from New Brunswick got a special behind the scenes tour of the Parliament Buildings from MLA Scott Fraser.

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

Kay Irene MacIntyre (nee Dagg)of Qualicum Beach, British Columbia November 8, 1938 – August 11, 2013
Survived by the Love of her Life: Charles MacIntyreSurvived by her children: Tracy, Austin (Tammy), Jodi and Bronwynn (Jim)Survived by her grandchildren: Caitlin, Logan, Ryley, Zachary, Caleb, Sarah, Maeghan and CaidenSurvived by her brother: Keith Dagg (Deborah)Predeceased by her sisters: Velma and Anne and her brothers: Raymond and Lyall Kay was a beautiful force of nature. She was born into a world-class champion curling family and left as a champion lawn bowler. She approached every experience of her life with clarity, focus, talent and the drive to excel. Kay was elegant and smart. She was compassionate, strong, loving and funny. Kay could ride a horse, teach Scottish Country dancing, kayak the Baja, sail the Gulf Islands, own a successful business, renovate a house into a home, backpack Australia, live in New Zealand, explore Mexico, play the ukulele, feed an army and take care of her family with pride and all of her heart. She did all this with the Love of Her Life, her husband, Charles, by her side. Charles asked Kay to waltz one night 43 years ago and they have never been far from each other since. Theirs was a true fairy tale love story that will go on forever. When she learned, out of the blue, that she had mere days until her beautiful and full life would come to an end, her keen instincts as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend shone through as she used these precious hours to share stories of how grateful she was for her life, Charles, family and friends - a true testament to her grace and bravery. Kay truly lived. She loved life and all those who shared in the adventure with her. She wished us all to Love Deeply and Pay It Forward.
And We, in turn, Love and Like Her Forever.
Our sincere gratitude and thanks to Leah, Vi, Pat and Carmen - Palliative Care Nurses at NRGH
A celebration of Kay’s life will be held in early October at the Qualicum Beach Lawn Bowling Club.

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

skim boarding
It’s good Karma hitting the beachwww.pqbnews.com
Kat Kellett and her K9 Karma give killer coasting clinic for other skim boarding dogs
Parksville curling club
Duncan dominates Parksville curling A final
JAMES CL ARKEsports@pqbnews.com
Talk about your good Karma.One of the tidal pools down at Parksville Bay was
the site of a great photo-op for tourists and locals alike recently, as Kat Kellett and her dog Karma, a rambunctious water-loving three-year-old English Bulldog, put on a K9 skim boarding clinic.
With the tide out and the sun out, conditions were perfect for the two well-practiced compan-ions, as Kellett, from Parksville, chose a long, nar-row, shallow stretch of water ideal for the task at hand, launching one board after another, sending it skittering out across the surface for Karma, who would in turn power her way through the water, run up beside the board, jump on, and clearly enjoy the ride.
“She’s working on her steering more this sum-mer,” Kellett pointed out as a small crowd gathered along the edge of the tidal pool, clearly impressed, and explained this is Karma’s third summer skim boarding down at Parksville Bay.
“When I got her we knew we had to find a way to exercise her during the summer because it’s way to hot for bulldogs -- they can’t cool down, so skim boarding was the way to go for sure.”
Sure enough, Karma took to skim boarding like a duck to water.
“She loves it,” Kellett confirmed as Karma stood their panting, looking up at her and waiting patient-ly for another throw.
“You just break it down into a phase process ...one step at a time,” she said when asked how she taught Karma to skim board.
“She’d go ‘til she dropped,” Kellett chuckled when asked how long a typical skim session lasts. “I have to enforce breaks. I need breaks.”
Parksville Curling Club’s 10th annual Summer Bonspiel is in the can, and like the winter rains, the start of league play is just around the corner.
“It went really good,” event co-chair Jim Hoffman said after, pointing out there was “some very good curling, there were a couple of six enders scored.”
In Sunday’s playoffs it was an all-Dun-
can A Event final with Wes Craig knock-ing off the Kondal rink.
In the B Event final Hozak from Nanaimo edged Parksville’s Cheryl No-ble.
Parksville Curling Club ice maker Tim Kottsieper and company won the C Event final with a win over the Dave Douglas rink from Powell River that in-
cluded dad, two daughters and second cousin Ron Boag from Parksville.
The Stechishen’s from Red Lake, Ont. — a dad and son who here on the Island for the Four Foot curling camp in Parks-ville — teamed up with two local ladies (Eileen Leachman and Judy Pearson) to beat the Ray Michell team from Comox.
Last year’s A winner Randy Veitch
from Comox failed to make the prize ta-ble getting beat Sunday morning.
NEXT UP:Parksville Curling Club league play
starts Sept. 30 and the club is always looking for new players. For more in-formation go to www.parksvillecurling.com.

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

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

Youth hockeY
Rocky Hockey80 take part in female hockey camp JAMES CL ARKEsports@pqbnews.com
In a sure sign of things to come, Oceanside Place was hockey camp central last weekend, as some 80 fe-male players ages nine-17 were put through their paces as part of Rocky Hockey Training.
For camp founder and head in-structor Dominique Di Rocco, the turnout “was super encouraging.”
Dom, 26, is from Port Alberni and played hockey (she was a for-ward) from the age of 10-24, playing most of her minor hockey career out of Nanaimo.
She played Midget with the North Island Stars, a AAA team made up ofd players Duncan North to Port Hardy, and went on to play for the Red Deer College Queens in the ACAC and then transferred to UBC after two seasons and played two seasons with the Thunderbirds.
“I’ve been doing camps for girls with friends on a small scale for the last four summer and I decided I wanted to take it to the next level... I think it’s important,” she said, ex-plaining “female hockey numbers (on the Island) have taken a hit the last few years and that was why I started Rock Hockey.”
Di Rocco, who does a lot of de-velopment work on the Lower Mainland for different associations, flew out last Sunday for Clarenville, Newfoundland to run a camp for a week out there.
“I’m pretty excited to see the East Coast of Canada — it’s definitely an exciting opportunity for me.”
As for the first-ever Rock Hockey camp at Oceanside Place last week-end, about 50 per cent of the camp were local girls.
“It’s exciting to see that type of turnout locally.”
Helping out at the camp, which featured dryland and on-ice ses-sions, were local female players Marissa Jordan and Rock Hockey regular Celine Tardiff, 17, also from Parksiville, now playing and at-tending school with the Okanagan Hockey Academy and a member of the 2013 Team B.C.

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

Helping humanity through a local non-profit society LISSA ALEXANDERreporter@pqbnews.com
Maria de Lourdes Pedro Matias has been working as an organic garden-er since she was five years old and she wants to share her knowledge with peo-ple of this region.
Matias started the Terra Divina Soci-ety, School of Knowledge this year and she wants to teach and share information at her large property in Errington.
Matias is from a small village in Por-tugal, where she farmed with her family
from dawn until dusk, with no electricity and no vehicles.
“That’s what we did just to survive,” she said. “And I have wonderful memo-ries.”
As an adult Matias has experienced her fair share of hardship, but she be-lieves that miracles have kept her alive and she feels blessed. While working in Africa she was robbed of all her posses-sions and money, and left with only the clothes on her back. LISSA ALeXAnDeR PHOtO

“Bake it, Make it or Grow it”
Continued from, page b1
Earth domes for healingAlthough her life was threatened, Matias es-
caped and made her way to her uncle’s home in Toronto, where she was offered a job shortly after her arrival.
“That was another miracle, I only had 11 days left {in the country}, ” she said.
After she moved to Victoria some years later, she bought a small house where she lived with her two children. But after fixing it up and in-stalling a beautiful organic orchard they all be-gan to cough. Their house was full of asbestos which was making them sick, and they had to leave right away, she said.
So Matias moved her family to Errington and started all over, doing things completely natu-ral.
She built a stone house and began building organic gardens to heal her and her children.
“I’ve worked very hard my whole life,” she said. “I was told all my life that I was crazy, be-cause since I was five years old I’ve been work-ing so hard.”
Matias now lives on an 88 acre property in Errington, where she bases the Terra Divina So-ciety. She has five green houses and two large earth domes and she wants to teach people how to organic garden and compost, and share information on things like solar wind energy, solar cooking and using solar lights. She grows tropical fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices and can grow almost anything, she said. She is experi-enced in healing people, after she saved her
own life with a concoction she created of nat-ural remedies.
“I was in tears, in pain, I couldn’t even get up or get in a car without screaming with pain,” she said. “I was dying.”
Matias created a 40-day cleanse that healed her, and went on to create cleanses that have healed many other people from around the world, she said.
Matias said her purpose is to help humanity, and particularly she would like to work with lo-cal children, to teach them to garden, exercise, make instruments from natural sources, and much more.
Although Matias wants to help humanity, she also needs help herself, to upkeep the gar-dening on her land, including irrigation work.
She is hoping people will contact her to come garden, heal, learn and play, all for free or by donation. People can take part in Qigong, yoga, meditation or singing in the earth domes, she said, and the domes can also be used for teachings by others.
People can call Matias to make an appoint-ment to come to the property at 250-248-4110 or email terradivina88@gmail.com.
For her part Martias just hopes to improve the lives of others, she said.
“I have so much love in my heart,” she said. “This is my sole purpose.”

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

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