There was perfect weather and participants had a great time at the Oceanside Overdrive Summer Show and Shine Sunday in Parksville Community Park.

OVERDRIVE CAR SHOW

Organizers say they’re pleasedAlso say they are looking forward to next year with more prep timeAUREN [email protected]

Despite almost being cancelled and taken over by a new organization a month before, the Oceanside Over-drive Summer Show and Shine was a big success last weekend.

“It was a very nice event, I was

quite pleased with the outcome,” said Jesse Schroeder of Nanaimo’s campus radio station CHLY 101.7 FM which took over the event when the main or-ganizer in recent years moved to the Lower Mainland.

“It wasn’t as large as in past years,” Schroeder said, “but I think the car guys were quite appreciative the show was there for them, they really helped out and there was a lot of patience.”

He admitted with four weeks orga-nizing time, some details fell through,

but he said doesn’t believe that hurt anything in the big picture and said he believes it was an important event for the town that brought a lot of visi-tors in to local hotels and “the vendors really appreciated the chance to do some business.”

Although early, he said they are already looking forward to doing it again next year with considerably more time to prepare. � e car award-ed Tops in Show was a 1960 Corvette owned by Peter Seward of Nanaimo.

� e Eaglecrest Residents’ Association is not amused.

In its latest newsletter, the association blasts the Town of Qualicum Beach and its councillors for not addressing the tra� c safety concerns at the Highway 19A/Village Way intersection.

“If public safety were not such a serious mat-ter, it would be almost humorous to see how our elected o� cials prioritize their time and at-tention,” stated an unattributed portion of the newsletter. “� e people involved in these acci-dents, the people who witness these accidents, and the people who use 19A, we’re certain, are not laughing.”

Coun. Mary Brouilette said Tuesday council is waiting for sta� to bring forward some rec-ommendations (possibly Monday), and she said she understands the frustrations of Eaglec-rest residents.

“� ey should keep our feet to the � re,” said Brouilette. “I can totally understand their con-cern if it appears we are not paying any atten-tion but I can assure them we are.”

A detailed report related to age-friendly transportation was presented to town council months ago by a consultant. A roundabout at the Village Way/ Highway19A intersection was part of that consultant’s report.

“It’s on the project priority list,” the town’s Di-rector of Engineering Bob Weir said this week. “We have no money to build one right now, but these recommendations (from age-friendly transportation consultant) will probably form part of budget deliberations by council in the fall.”

Islands Trust Council to meet on Lasqueti

JOHN HARDING PHOTO

MARKET MUSIC: There’s nothing like some light, uplifting African music on a warm, summer evening. Kumbana Marimba is a local group that was entertaining the crowds at the Craig Street Market Tuesday night. The market continues every Tuesday evening from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. in downtown Parksville.

The Islands Trust Council is coming to Lasqueti Island.The council will hold its next quarterly business meeting Sept. 10-

12 on Lasqueti. The public meeting starts Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. and is expected to finish by 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12.

The Islands Trust Area, home to more than 25,000 people, covers the islands and waters between the British Columbia mainland and southern Vancouver Island, including Howe Sound and as far north as Comox. In a news release, the Islands Trust said it is “responsible for preserving and protecting the unique environment of the Islands Trust Area through planning and regulating land use, development management, education, cooperation with other agencies, and land conservation.”

The 26-member council makes decisions about overall policy, staff resources and financial management for the Islands Trust and has broad responsibilities to uphold the Islands Trust mandate, ac-cording to the release. The Trust Council said it invites members of the public to participate in a town hall session, a regular forum to promote dialogue between islanders and trustees, starting at 1:35 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11 on Lasqueti Island. To get an appoint-ment, please send the topic, speaker’s name and contact informa-tion to the attention of Marie Smith (e-mail: [email protected]; fax: 250-405-5155) by Wednesday, Aug. 21.

PARKSVILLE CITY HALL

Staff asking for more spaceCouncil was scheduled to review the issue WednesdayAUREN [email protected]

City staff is running out of room in the Parks-ville Civic and Technology Centre and is asking council to take over the space recently vacated by MLA Ron Cantelon.

The city and school district, which co-own the building with the library, are now fully us-ing their original spaces.

According to a staff report going to council Wednesday night after press deadline, city in-

formation technology and bylaw compliance staff are occupying finance and planning de-partment space.

The report suggests many benefits of ex-panding into the vacated MLA space includ-ing consolidating administration, opening planning department capacity, providing fu-ture expansion or temporary work space and more adequate storage for information tech-nology.

The rental value of the space is estimated at $27,500 per year in current market conditions. Council was scheduled to review the issue Wednesday night.

‘It’s not a new topic’ — ERAcontinued from page a1

Weir estimated a roundabout at this location would cost the town approximately $1 million.

The residents’ association newsletter stated the subject of traffic safety along 19A has been “the primary focus of previous ERA annual meetings. It is not a new topic. Unfortunately, there was another accident on July 23 at Village Way/19A. When will our town demonstrate responsible action to improve the 19A/Village Way intersection?”

Brouilette said councillors and town staff “all travel that road. We don’t want it to be danger-

ous. We are looking for solutions, but solutions that are in our budget.”

The ERA made reference to the most recent traffic study, received by the town in March.

“To our knowledge, none of the recommen-dations have been actioned by the town,” the newsletter stated. “More time, more accidents. We are determined not to allow yet another traf-fic study to collect dust in our town archives.”

Eaglecrest has about 750 residences and is home to about 18 per cent of the total popula-tion of Qualicum Beach.

deMo tiMe And SAFe MYSteRY: Parksville Heavy Equipment operator Ernie Nagy took down the Vancouver Island Insurance Centre building at Hirst Avenue and the Alberni Highway Thursday evening to make way for an updated, similar-sized building that the company says better reflects the city’s downtown design scheme. The insurance office is open next door on Hirst throughout the process. On Wednesday afternoon, Parksville Heavy Equipment workers found a safe while they were digging deep into the structure — see Tuesday’s edition of The NEWS for more on this mystery.

ICF boss asks for VIA responseGraham Bruce says he is still waiting; proposal sent in April

The Island Corridor Foundation says it is time VIA Rail “engaged responsibly” in negoti-ating a new train service agreement.

In a news release distributed Wednesday af-ternoon, ICF CEO Graham Bruce said a com-prehensive proposal was presented after VIA suggested they may consider an alternate plan whereby Southern Rail, the ICF rail operator, would take over the operation of the reinstated service. VIA has not replied to the April propos-al, said Bruce, who said this is “unacceptable.”

“Our operator entered into these discussions in good faith and have spent time and money to develop a train service that contemplated an increase in ridership, reduced VIA’s involve-ment and limited the subsidy. For VIA to not bother to respond is very poor business prac-tise and a slap to Islanders”.

VIA Rail Canada is a federal crown corpora-

tion mandated to provide rail passenger service throughout the country. “VIA Rail wants to main-tain the past service agreement while our opera-tor is intent on providing an improved service and schedule”, said Bruce. The past service was a re-turn, daily train from Victoria to Courtenay.

The improved service calls for an early morn-ing train from Nanaimo to Victoria and then the Victoria-Courtenay return schedule with a late afternoon run from Victoria back to Nanaimo.

The ICF has met with B.C. Trans[ortation Minister Todd Stone and asked him to speak with federal minister Lisa Raitt. Bruce said Nanaimo MP James Lunney has been very sup-portive and is carrying the message to Ottawa.

The ICF said it wants and agreement in place by the end of August to facilitate a November construction start for rebuilding the track and trestles. Bruce said Rail infrastructure funding of $20 million and the continuation of rail ser-vice on the Island could all be lost without VIA’s participation. —NEWS Staff

THURSDAY SPOTLIGHT: People, places and issues of the Parksville/Qualicum Beach region

LISSA [email protected]

By age 21, Shannon Lyon was already in love with music, but something hap-pened that year to solidify his career as a musician.

“At 21, opening for Blue Rodeo in hockey arenas, it really blew my mind and my heart wide open,” he said. “It really got in my blood then and there was no turning back.”

Shannon Lyon is performing at the Coombs Fair August 10.

Opening for Blue Rodeo was in the ’90s and Lyon was back and forth touring the United States and Canada.

In 2000, he moved to Europe and began touring France, Ger-many, Belgium and Holland. He lived in Germany, Spain and Holland, where, in 2004,

he was the first Canadian to be signed to Richard Branson’s record label V2, post Virgin Records. He recorded the critically acclaimed album Wandered in a 17 century farmhouse in the south of Holland.

Soon after the album was released Australia’s Collision Records signed him and he toured that country three times in one year.

Over the years, Lyon has toured with and shared the stage with such artists as Lucinda Williams, Richard Buckner, Jay Farrar, Ray LaMontagne, and Bruce Cockburn.

“I feel really blessed, I’ve been really honoured,”

said Lyon. “I feel like a student, I’ve always taken notes and I also feel like a bit of a spy because I get to go out and experience life and I always report back to the song and write about it.”

Just over a year ago, after 10 years abroad, Lyon said something snapped in his brain and he decid-ed it was time to come back to Canada.

Although he’s originally from Ontario, today Lyon lives from town to town, visiting new and “amazing places” and said he’s falling in love with this country all over again.

He has released 11 albums to date and contin-ues to collect material and write songs for his next album as he goes.

He’s currently on a summer tour where he’s do-ing 24 performances from Ontario to the Island, and he’ll be performing at the Coombs Fair with award-winning musician Ryan McMahon on Sat-urday, Aug 10 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Entertainment runs from 10:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Sunday.

Fair to recieve the Century Farm Award at openingLISSA [email protected]

The Coombs Fair is celebrating 100 years in the community, and the achievement is not going unnoticed.

Parkville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell will present the Arrowsmith Agricultural Association with an award at the fair’s opening at 10 a.m. on Aug. 10.

“The Coombs fair has created memories and connections between local foods and people for 100 years, and the Century Farm Award both honours and celebrates that. People from all over the world love visiting Coombs and automatically connect it with goats, food and farming. That is truly one of the legacies of the fair and the community.”

In 1913 the fair began when a group of farmers who moved to the

Hilliers area decided to hold a fair to show what could be grown and raised in the area.

Today the fair continues to show-case the agriculture and livestock of the region. A centennial project marking the anniversary will also see a new stage built, using volunteer la-bour and community donations. The stage will be completed in the com-ing months, and host musicians and events in future years.

The Coombs Fair runs August 10 and 11 at the Coombs Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. A pancake breakfast will run 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. both days and the buildings at the Fair will open at 9:30 a.m. Dogs are not permitted on the grounds and will not be safe if left in hot vehicles.

NEW CEO

Carr now drives the VIHA bus‘Skilled emergency room physician’ takes reins of health authority

Dr. Brendan Carr is the new president and CEO of the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

Carr has been serving as acting CEO since former president and CEO Howard Waldner retired in May, and will assume this new role immediately, according to a VIHA news release.

“The Board is thrilled to have Dr. Carr at the helm of our organization,” said VIHA board of directors chair Don Hubbard. “The demands and challenges that face all public sector organizations, specifically health care, re-quire the skill and talents of a seasoned leader. I have full confidence that Dr. Carr possesses the experience and personal suitability that will allow our organization to ensure that the health and care needs of citizens and the fiscal health or our organiza-tion are met now and well

into the future. Dr. Carr is an accomplished leader with a track record of success.”

Carr joined VIHA last year as the executive vice-pres-ident and Chief Medical Officer. Prior to joining the health authority, Carr served as vice president of medicine with the Capital District Health Authority in Halifax and as an assistant professor with Dalhousie University.

Carr holds a Doctor of Medicine and a Masters in Business Administration. The VIHA release said he is a “skilled emergency room physician and advocate for transformation in health care.”

“The Vancouver Island Health Authority is an out-standing organization with a positive reputation across the country and around the world,” Carr said in the VIHA release. “I sincerely appreci-ate the board’s confidence in my abilities to do the job. I look forward to the days, months and years ahead as we work together with our community partners to renew our focus on popu-

lation health, quality and innovation and community engagement. Improving the quality of care and examin-ing how we can better inte-grate care across the health system is a top priority as we move forward.”

As Vancouver Island’s

largest employer, VIHA serves a population of more than 760,000 citizens living in both urban and rural set-tings, employs 18,000 staff, operates 153 health facilities and manages an operating budget of $1.9 billion.

Rathtrevor Provincial Park supporters are cycling for the Tour de Rock Cops for Cancer local rider Jesse Foreman.

“We have challenged the park visitors and friends of Rathtrevor Beach to participate in the Tour de Rathtrevor in support of Tour de Rock,” said Allison Roberts with RLC Park Services, which operates the park.

The goal of the Tour de Rathtrevor was for people to ride a combined 625 loops of the campground to equal the 1,000 km Oceans-ide RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman and his team-mates will ride in September to raise money and awareness for the Canadian Cancer So-ciety.

They used one of the “bike rodeos” or bike

safety days Foreman already does in Rathtrevor during the summer to surprise him with the do-nations collected in the park.

Their goal was to raise $1,000 to help toward Foreman’s ambitious $25,000 goal. They raised $910 by the end of the day and they will contin-ue collecting to their goal, plus RLC Park Ser-vices announced they would match whatever donations were raised.

“It’s a great combo of supporting Tour de Rock and encouraging healthy active kids,” Roberts said.

Foreman gave out free passes to partici-pants for either the Ravensong Aquatic Centre, Oceanside Place skating rink or the Paradise Mini Golf and Fun Park and took the opportu-nity to speak about the importance and proper use of helmets.

The Tour de Rock’s major sponsor is Black Press, the owner of The NEWS.

NEW CEO

Carr now drives the VIHA bus‘Skilled emergency room physician’ takes reins of health authority

Dr. Brendan Carr is the new president and CEO of the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

Carr has been serving as acting CEO since former president and CEO Howard Waldner retired in May, and will assume this new role immediately, according to a VIHA news release.

“The Board is thrilled to have Dr. Carr at the helm of our organization,” said VIHA board of directors chair Don Hubbard. “The demands and challenges that face all public sector organizations, specifically health care, re-quire the skill and talents of a seasoned leader. I have full confidence that Dr. Carr possesses the experience and personal suitability that will allow our organization to ensure that the health and care needs of citizens and the fiscal health or our organiza-tion are met now and well

into the future. Dr. Carr is an accomplished leader with a track record of success.”

Carr joined VIHA last year as the executive vice-pres-ident and Chief Medical Officer. Prior to joining the health authority, Carr served as vice president of medicine with the Capital District Health Authority in Halifax and as an assistant professor with Dalhousie University.

Carr holds a Doctor of Medicine and a Masters in Business Administration. The VIHA release said he is a “skilled emergency room physician and advocate for transformation in health care.”

“The Vancouver Island Health Authority is an out-standing organization with a positive reputation across the country and around the world,” Carr said in the VIHA release. “I sincerely appreci-ate the board’s confidence in my abilities to do the job. I look forward to the days, months and years ahead as we work together with our community partners to renew our focus on popu-

lation health, quality and innovation and community engagement. Improving the quality of care and examin-ing how we can better inte-grate care across the health system is a top priority as we move forward.”

As Vancouver Island’s

largest employer, VIHA serves a population of more than 760,000 citizens living in both urban and rural set-tings, employs 18,000 staff, operates 153 health facilities and manages an operating budget of $1.9 billion.

our local farmers and food producers so they can continue to grow for us. Add into the mix that this food is available right here and that means

no long distance travelling. The environment likes that! Because local food tastes so great just the way it is, I don’t have to add a lot of fattening ingredients to make a delicious meal. Many people ask me the secret to

my weight loss program and that is the answer....clean, local food!

Across B.C., 51 recipients will share $1,319,290 in the latest rounds of grants

Two local organizations have received more than $15,000 in gaming funds from the provin-cial government.

Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell announced last week that the Ministry of Com-munity, Sport, and Cultural Development has provided community gaming grants worth a to-tal of $15,260 for two local organizations:

• Mid-Island Wheelchair Sports Club — $13,580.

• Mount Arrowsmith Pipe Band Association — $1,680.

“Sports and the arts provide people with a positive goal to work towards while being active physically, mentally or emotionally,” Stilwell said in a news release. “Both of these organiza-tions will continue to provide this healthy out-let for people in our community.”

The provincial government supplied the fol-lowing information about community gaming grants:

• Across British Columbia, 51 recipients will share $1,319,290 in the latest rounds of grants.

• Recipients of these grants include programs for Sport, and Arts and Culture, among others.

• Community Gaming Grants help local groups provide important services for B.C. fam-ilies.

At Parksville city hall, it’s all about the new water treatment plant.

Every � nancial decision, every increase-fees-and-taxes trial balloon, has this monolith-

ic and mandated facility at its core.� e provincial government, through the Vancouver

Health Authority in our region, says all surface water head-ed for homes must be treated, by the end of 2016 at the lat-est. � e City of Parksville gets the majority of its water from the Englishman River.

Every purchased paper clip, every tax decision, every speech Mayor Chris Burger makes, seems to include some reference to this facility.

We are not about to doubt the science or the health fac-tors behind the need for the facility. But like the English-man River itself, stu� � ows downhill and it seems inevita-ble the relatively small amount of taxpayers in the city will see signi� cant property tax increases in both the near and distant future. City sta� , under the direction of Burger, CFO Lucky Butterworth and CAO Fred Manson, have undoubt-edly been crunching numbers every day, looking for ways to spread the pain.

One of their � rst attempts, a trial balloon perhaps, is po-tentially increasing development cost charges as much as 45 per cent in the city. We suggest this kind of increase, this kind of message to developers who will look elsewhere to invest their money, is counterproductive.

It might be a nice default position for some people in the city — charge those who aren’t here, only those who would come here — but that’s a shortsighted view. � e corresponding decrease in economic activity that would undoubtedly be associated with a 45 per cent increase in DCCs would force the city to increase property taxes and other fees on current residents.

Burger likes to play nice with senior levels of govern-ment. Sure, he will publicly kick up a fuss when it comes to a private company making him angry (see dispute with Telus), but like a child who wants to be nice to the grocer because he might get a candy once in a while, Parksville’s mayor doesn’t like to push those in senior levels of govern-ment. He needs now to publicly stick up for his constitu-ents when it comes to decisions from Victoria and Ottawa.

VIHA wants the water treated? � en the province must come to the table with much of the money for the facility. � e Tories often say they support infrastructure projects.

Instead of hammering the lifeblood that new business can become for a community, it’s time for Burger and city council to play some public hardball with MLA Michelle Stilwell and MP James Lunney.

Not impressedI attended the Ermineskin Tribal Enter-

prises’ open house at the civic centre and picked up their letter demanding the city support their application to the Agricultural Land Commission.

They want their property excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve so that they can develop a portion of it for a residential subdivision. If the support they seek is not forthcoming, they promise to “explore op-tions for allowable (agricultural) use under the ALR designation on our property next to the Springwood wells” knowing full well residents’ concerns about our water supply.

This is clearly a tactic that is inappropri-ate for an organization that professes “re-spect and goodwill toward the community and city.”

A sign of goodwill would instead be to open negotiations for the sale of the proper-ty to the city. Perhaps the Ermineskin Band would be so kind as to practice what they preach instead of making comments that anger residents and are counter-productive to their objectives.

Val DareParksville

attract the rVsThe issue of RVs parking at the beach in

Qualicum reveals the dangers and poten-tial cost of the mean-spirited attitude being shown by the current council.

It will drive people away. We seem to be headed down the road of saying ‘no’ to ev-erything instead of ‘yes’ to that which we want and can accommodate.

We want tourists, embrace them. Give them a reason to come and stay. Qualicum

is a jewel, so let’s put on our best face.Find a positive, creative solution. Peo-

ple like to hear ‘yes’. People like small gifts. Have town staff be an ambassador for the city and give the RV visitor a dated, free, one night pass along with a flyer listing all local RV parks and their discount promotions. In-clude promotions for local businesses. Get the chamber of commerce involved. There are great opportunities here.

It’s something I had always intended do-ing, but sadly my time of crawling along on belly and going down rock faces are over.

peacock hit aNd ruNShame on the person who was driving

west on the Alberni Highway just before the Coombs Store Tuesday, July 30 at 10:20 a.m. who couldn’t take the time to stop and let a peacock cross the road. You hit the peacock and left it frightened and bleeding standing in the middle of the road. I hope you had a better day than I had after witnessing your deed.

we support michelleSeveral of us dedicated to keep Canada a

great country by continuing to elect and sup-port honest persons as our elected represen-tatives were disappointed by the disgruntled remarks of letter writer Bob Tritschler that appeared in the Aug. 1 edition of The NEWS.

Instead of being proud of an honest, en-thusiastic person, mother of a challenged child, a role model for disabled persons and above all someone committed to her local community and her constituency, he goes and shoots petty partisan arrows at our new MLA Michele Stilwell.

It has been reported that she has given up the homeschooling of her beloved son, cut back on her promotional speaking, reduced her hours of practice and openly talked about achieving efficient time management to work for her constituency.

Let’s not forget that unlike many of our other MLAs and MPs, she did not make false campaign promises. She was honest and up-front about not quitting her sports.

In fact, we earnestly hope that she does not do so. One talk by her in a school can mo-tivate kids to engage in sports. She is a won-derful role model for our teenagers to utilize their boundless energy in useful pursuits. Given her world athlete stature, she can be a voice for young people, and for getting gov-ernment support for sport and healthy living initiatives. In fact, she is a breath of fresh air for the many Canadians who have given up hope in the politicians of our generation.

Michelle, please pay no heed to petty par-tisan remarks. You have the support of the silent majority.

costly bike theft ruined simple summer pleasure

Camping at Parry’s Campground in Parksville has been a summer pleasure for our family for the past six years and the weekend of July 26 should have been no exception.

Instead, my teenagers (14 and 16) learned two very hard lessons. First, someone will always want what you have; and second, some people just take what they want.

We arrived on Friday evening. Before turning in, as we always do, we secured our site and stowed my sons’ cus-tom dirt jumper mountain bikes 12 inches behind our tents. Sometime between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., while we slept, some jerks walked into our site and stole the bikes.

When I reported the incident to the office, other camp-ers mentioned other thefts that night: a set of keys, alco-hol, coolers. While warning other campers, more stories emerged — the theft of a man’s bike the night before; a 13-year-old’s the week before; two others the July long weekend from someone camping for the month, together with other items.

Our bikes are unusual enough to be recognizable. Bike one has a black custom frame, eight-gear shifter, worn flame grips, Dirt Jumper 1 front shocks, and a small hard seat with damage to the front. Bike two has a black “Oryx” frame, customized with bright green grips, gold and black Dirt Jumper 3 front shocks and black foam/fabric seat.

The robberies made every one of us campers victims to people who haven’t the decency to leave things alone that don’t belong to them. Since when did it become OK for someone to take away the simple pleasure of a summer camping trip?

The owners of Parry’s are on constant guard through the sleepless night, trying to protect their guests, but these in-dividuals possibly snuck in from the river.

After paying the $1,000 deductible, our home insurance

might cover replacement cost. But these bikes were cus-tom built, one-offs. They were gifts to our sons by a young man who overcame personal challenges, emerging four years ago as the top mountain biker in B.C. Because he was now being sponsored, he passed his hard-earned custom bikes on to us. The loss of these bikes is costly — first in their value to our sons, and secondly to us as we need to replace their summer transportation.

The morons who took these bikes are not likely to read the newspaper, nor this letter, but someone who knows them will. If you notice a son, brother or friend with a new/used bike, don’t assume they came to own them lawfully. Do the right thing and pass information on. We are offer-ing a $200 reward ($100 each) for the intact return of our bikes. The theft has been reported to the Oceanside RCMP, Island pawnshops and cycle stores. Contact myself or the Oceanside detachment with any information.

We need to reduce limits on shellfish harvesting

It is high time the Department of Fisheries and Oceans started paying attention to the quotas allowable for shell-fish harvesters.

We live in an area of French Creek that is very popular for harvesting. Every time the tide is low in the summer, carloads of people arrive with buckets, shovels and coolers and dig for clams and geoducks. Soon there will be nothing left.

Limits on these species need to be reduced. Regulations are in place to protect various other forms of wildlife. What about the shellfish?

The pleasures of campingMemories of marshmallows, jamtwisters and hail storms

My week’s holiday started auspiciously with a quick flight in a spotless new aircraft — WestJet’s classy Bombardier Q400 on its new route from Nanaimo to Calgary. The disconcerting lumps and bumps coming down off the east side of the Rockies was strictly a meteorological flaw.

Arrival at YYC was puzzling at first. I expected to see number two son before I reached the lug-gage carousel but no familiar head towered over the crowd. Wrestled the bag, found the wash-rooms, came back to the arrivals area, unearthed the cell phone.

“Where are you?” “I’m at carousel nine, where are you?” “Same place.” And we were separated in our search-ing only by one of those massive pillars.

And so to Red Deer where my daughter had arrived by bus from Fort Mac. Son, wife, daughter and mom had a camping trip in the works … the first such venture in many a year. The next day was spent shopping for the provisions that would get a small army to the South Pole and whittling down our per-sonal impedimenta to one tote bag each.

Tent trailer packed, hitched and away. Alberta’s early sum-mer rains gave me a new appreciation for the prairies as we rolled past miles of rolling green fields with brilliant yellow splashes of flowering canola.

And here was Gull Lake and our campground. Son had driven there the week before to choose a choice campsite and reserve it for us but it had been rented to other campers — %$%^#@! When reasonable calm was restored, we proceed-ed to an alternate site and established our headquarters, ex-posed to the campground turnaround, the ball and Frisbee court and a neighboring site with innumerable children and babies of every age.

But the sun was shining, the wood was dry, and soon hot-dogs and cool ones were soothing grumbling nerves. The

cards and board games came out; daughter stalked the birds with binoculars, mom settled into her chair with a book, and life was good.

As it turned out, we were luckier than we re-alized to have lost our chosen campsite. Across from it a big black truck stood with open doors day and night so that its music could be properly heard by its campers. I have to admit that we felt glee the next morning when we found big black truck with open hood and battery cables running to a neighboring car.

So with hearty hobo dinners in the evening, followed by golden (or flaming) marshmallows

around the campfire and many an embellished tale of earli-er days’ camp-outs we were feeling at our pioneer best… till the wind came up, and clouds scudded across the lake, the thunder rumbled after lightning, and the rain, and hail swept down. That hail blew down the road like a winter blizzard. But only moments before, son had finished rigging a big tarp out from the trailer to cover our outdoor kitchen.

The storm blew itself out, we re-lit the fire, and all was dry and snug in the trailer and we passed a comfortable night. The following morning was hot and golden and another fine day ensued. That evening, an old family favorite, “jamtwist-ers”, was on the dessert menu.

I knew I’d be called upon to make the dough for this goodie and wasn’t sure how well my Girl Guide camping skills had survived. As it turned out, I was saved from possible disaster, when another storm came blowing in. Everything again mi-grated under the tarp.

The next morning the sun didn’t bother to try drying the puddle that was the campground. We packed up our dripping gear. After a stop in Lacombe for a breakfast with chairs and table we headed home.

The sun came out when we got to Red Deer.

It was born in England and reborn in Errington and now it’s on its way to Brazil.

The former Norton Atlas motorbike, said Kevin Wilson, doesn’t look a whole lot like it did when he found it and what he and his team at International Classic Motorcy-cles has done to it has turned the formerly rusted hulk into something beautiful.

“There was a guy in Nanaimo who had it for 30 years or so and it was shot, totally gone,” Wilson said. “I decided to build it out into a 1960s style cafe racer, rather than what it was originally.”

Cafe racers, he explained, were popular among British motorcycle enthusiasts in the early ‘60s, particularly among the rocker subculture of the era.

“There were the Mods and the Rockers in England, with the Mods being Lambretta (scooter) boys and the Rockers riding cafe racers,” Wilson said.

A signature trait of the cafe racers were low, narrow han-dlebars that allowed the rider to tuck in and reduce wind resistance. The bikes were a symbol of the rebellious rocker

subculture and were used to travel between transport cafes.One of the goals of anyone transforming their bike into

a cafe racer was to be able to reach 160 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour), which was referred to as the ton.

It was an expensive proposition at the time and that hasn’t changed. What has changed however is the availabil-ity of 1960s-style parts to make it look authentic.

“It took about 18 months,” he said. “With bikes like this, it can take as long as a year or longer to get parts.”

Even once he had the parts, it was a big job.“I was a complete rebuild,” he said. The bike was finished in February and was put up for sale. “This guy contacted us from Brazil,” Wilson said. “He’s a

Scotsman who has a British bike museum. He’s building it bike by bike and this is going to be one of them.”

Wilson got $14,000 for the bike, but he could have made as much as $18,000 or $19,000 if he had taken it to an auc-tion house in the United States. However, he said the project wasn’t about money.

“It’s a piece of art,” he said. “Everyone in the shop had something to do with it.”

MAC paint job needs a boostOCAC asks council for money to rent a cherry picker to paint buildingAUREN [email protected]

The Oceanside Community Arts Council was sched-uled to appear before Parksville council Wednesday night after press deadline to ask for financial help with its ongoing paint job.

"We are unable to reach the very highest point to paint safely," said OCAC president Chris Raines who was on the council agen-da to speak as a delegation Aug. 7.

"First we asked if we could borrow a cherry picker but they don't have one, so we're asking for $1,400 to rent one," he said correcting the agenda's statement they need $7,500.

The extensive paint job of the 100 year old MAC (Mc-Millian Arts Centre) building which they co-own with the

Parksville and District Association for Community Living is being done with the help of a $10,000 grant from the city (for materials only), and a Department of Fisheries and Oceans grant which pro-vides free labour.

OCAC is providing the labourers with 10 hours of professional training and supervision, both to help with the work and give them a new skill.

We’re unable to reach the very highest point to paint

safely. Chris rAines

WHAT’S ON THIS WEEK

Dinner and inspiration at Deep Bay station

Drug offences

Tom FleTcherBlack Press

Marijuana possession cases still account for 60 per cent of drug violation reports to police in B.C., but the number of cases declined 10 per cent in 2012, according to new figures from Sta-tistics Canada.

There were 25,432 police-reported incidents of drug offences in B.C. last year, a 7.4 per cent decline from 2011. Marijuana trafficking cases declined more than 20 per cent to 1,006 inci-dents, and importation and exportation of mar-ijuana declined by 40 per cent.

Marijuana growing cases declined 4.6 per cent, following a 28.6 per cent drop in 2011.

Heroin possession cases jumped more than 30 per cent to 500, and heroin trafficking cases rose 37 per cent to 224 incidents in 2012.

There were 653 reported cases of possession of methamphetamine (crystal meth), a 20 per cent increase over 2011, and 110 per cent more than 2009.

The decline in B.C. marijuana cases comes as licensed medical marijuana production in-

creases across North America. Colorado and Washington state voted to legalize sale to adults last year.

In July, Elections BC gave approval in prin-ciple for a petition drive aimed at decriminal-izing marijuana possession in B.C. Marijuana activist Dana Larsen has formed a group called Sensible B.C., aimed at forcing a change to B.C. law that would prevent police resources from being used against simple possession of mari-juana.

Sensible B.C. is using the same voter initia-tive system that forced the repeal of the harmo-nized sales tax in B.C. The group will have 90 days starting Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.'s 85 electoral districts.

If that target is met, a province-wide vote would be held on the proposed law.

Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the ini-tiative by advertising and collecting signatures against the initiative.

MAY SKIRROWMay 14, 1920 – August 2, 2013 With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our mother. Missing her are her children, Marlene Skirrow Bumgarner and Keith Rowland Skirrow; her grandchildren Dona Ana Bumgarner, John Rowland Bumgarner, JamieVan Zanen, and Deborah Ruth Eltgroth; her great-granddaughter Stella Anne Bumgarner Flint; and many nieces and nephews in Canada, the UK and Australia. Until recently May was at all times beside her devoted husband and companion of 66 years, Rowland Skirrow, and she missed him very much after his passing in 2011. Their love story inspired family and friends. They met during World War II in England and corresponded while Rowland was overseas, serving as a gunner in the North African desert and later as a peacekeeper in the European Occupation Army. May served her country in the Auxiliary Transport Service (ATS). In 1945 they married and shortly afterward immigrated to the United States where they raised their family. They immigrated again to Australia (twice) and eventually to Parksville, BC where they retired in 1981. Mom and Dad’s travels during the next 20 years, her active and enthusiastic participation in aerobics, clogging, gardening, lawn bowling and other Oceanside recreational pursuits, her intense love of family and friends, and the emotional support of her beloved church community, provided her with a full and rich life in her later years. She loved to sing, and she loved to knit. She loved her family. Indeed, she loved everyone she met.

A special thank you to Dr. Johann Wagenaar and the staff at Eagle Park for the wonderful care they

gave to both Mom and Dad.A private Memorial Service was held on Tuesday,

August 6 at Knox United Church in Parksville. Condolences may be sent to Marlene Bumgarner,

P.O. Box 1326, Morgan Hill, CA USA 95038. Donations in May’s memory may be made to the

Qualicum Beach’s DeBiasio and Hay come up big at Eaglepoint in Kamloops

VIJHl Hockey

Generals ready for main camp, new season

JAMES CL [email protected]

Qualicum Beach was well represented at the B.C. Senior Men’s Golf Champion-ships.

Played at Eaglepoint Golf Resort in Ka-mloops July 29-31 with 126 golfers age 55 and over.

Capturing the 36-hole Zone Team Championship was the four-man contin-gent from Zone 6 (North Island) of Bri-an DeBiasio and Kim Hay out of Pheas-ant Glen in Qualicum Beach, with Terry Hatchwell and Sandy Harper from Nanai-mo — with a two day total of 440. Six strokes better than second place Zone 2 Thompson Okanagan.

In provincial playdowns the players compete as individuals, with their scores from the first two rounds going towards the team competition.

This is the second straight year DeBia-sio and Zone 6 has won the team title.

In the overall individual standings, DeBiasio, 60, finished second overall with a 3-under par 213 — three strokes back of legendary Canadian amateur golfer Doug Roxburgh from Vancouver who won it all.

DeBiasio was grouped with Roxburgh and Kelowna’s Norm Bradley who fin-ished one under for fourth.

“I’ve chased him many a time over the years,” DeBiasio chuckled when asked about his decorated playing partner. “I’ve actually finished second to (Roxburgh) in the B.C. amateur twice before. He’s legendary for sure; he’s won many B.C. championships and a number of Canadi-an championships as well, it was a treat to

play with him again, to compete with him. I stayed in the ball park, but just couldn’t quite catch him.”

“It was very good, very reward-ing,” DeBiasio said of the results, adding the weather “was a little breezy at times but we got lucky, it wasn’t the usual 40 degree Kamloops weather, it was only low 30s.

The course itself he said “played very well. It’s an interesting course — a lot of dog legs and a lot of elevation change, lots of ups and downs, so you have to plot your way around the golf course. It was a good challenge, a real fair test of golf.”

The result secured DeBiasio the sec-ond of three spots (he’s the lone Island-er) on Team B.C. heading to the Canadi-an Sr. Men’s championships Aug. 27-30 at the Briars Golf Club, located on the southern shores of Lake Simcoe in the town of Jackson’s Point near Barry, On-tario.

A UBC grad, he grew up in Trail and spent 33 years in the education system in Nelson as a teacher and principal be-fore moving to Qualicum Beach about 16 months ago.

A veteran of the game to be sure with a plus one handicap, this will be DeBia-sio’s third trip to the senior nationals.

He’s been to a number of Canadian Amateurs and Mid Amateurs as well.

He’s represented B.C. 20 times both nationally and internationally, and high-lights of his career include winning the 1998 Canadian Mid Amateur champi-onships and claiming the B.C. Mid Am in 1999.

With main camp for the Oceanside Generals Jr. Hockey Club just around the corner, those close to the local Jr. B team have been busy gearing up for another campaign.

The squad takes to the ice at Oceans-ide Place for its annual main camp Aug. 16-18, and team secretary Elizabeth Cudmore, part of a dedicated team of

volunteers, said the coaching staff “were extremely happy with the talent at pros-pect camp and are looking forward to seeing everyone, including our returning players back in action after a summer hi-atus.”

Cudmore said 50 players have been invited to main camp including around 15 returning and affiliate players.

In the meantime, the community owned organization is looking for vol-

unteers “to come out and be part of our team.”

The Generals are looking for medical trainers, athletic trainers, anthem sing-ers, equipment managers, game night volunteers, special promotions, game night coordinators and last but certainly not least, billet homes.

Anyone interested in helping out can do so through the team’s web site (www.oceansidegenerals.com) or by calling

Cudmore at 250-240-5535.In other news, the Generals have also

released their home schedule for the 2012/2014 VIJHL regular season.

Oceanside kicks off the regular season at home Saturday Sept. 7 when they host the Nanaimo Buccaneers.

Save-On-Foods will once again spon-sor the home opener and will be giving away free tickets to the game. Read future editions of The NEWS for more details.

Great ladies tournamentLocals do well at QB Memorial Club eventJAMES CL [email protected]

A strong field of 63 com-petitors — up from 58 last year — from up and down the Island took to the links at Qualicum Beach Me-morial Golf Club last Fri-day for the 25th annual Quality Foods Sr. Ladies Amateur golf tournament.

Played under cool, cloudy conditions, the annual event saw lots of good play, and in the end it was Dee Horie from Courtenay’s Crown Isle taking home the hard-ware as champion of the 18 hole event with a 75, followed by Morningstar’s Sally Dobler who was two strokes back for second at 77.

Georgina Hermans was third at 80, and Ishbel Mucklow from Morning-star was fourth at 81.

Winning Low Net was Pat Belanger with a 67.

Hermans won the Long Drive event for low handi-caps (0-24); and QBMGC’s Kathy Lennox won the event for the 25 and over handicaps.

“I was pretty darned excited,” Lennox recount-ed when asked how it felt to win the long ball event. “I was hoping to score better,” she surmised, ex-plaining with a chuckle how she “started out bril-liantly, way over my head, and then I blew up on the 8th hole, I couldn’t get out of the bunker, and that destroyed my chances of doing anything, so instead I got the prize for longest drive for the high handi-cappers.”

The weather was ideal, and the course, she said, “was in incredible condi-tion, and we wrapped it up with a fantastic lunch.”

ON DECKQBMGC’s club cham-

pionships, played out over three rounds, will run Sept. 18, Sept. 23 and Sept. 25.

Art At the gArden

Milner Gardens to host working artistsAnnual Art and Photography in the Garden will see art, music and food this weekendLISSA [email protected]

Artists from around the area will be scattered throughout Milner Gardens and Woodland this week-end displaying and making all types of art.

It’s the annual Art and Photography in the Garden with 21 artists, live music, food and refreshments, all situated around the spectacular garden overlooking the ocean.

“We ask artists to try and be working within their me-dia,” said executive director at the gardens, Geoff Ball. “And when they start to use the garden as their subject it’s always interesting to see the garden through the art-ists’ eyes.”

The event runs Aug 10 and Aug 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Ball said former owner of the grounds, Veronica Mil-ner, was an artist and designed the garden with an ar-tistic eye. The event is a link between her love of art and the magical feeling people get when they watch artists using the garden, Ball said.

This year, beyond all the exquisite corners of the gar-den people have come to love, they can also visit the new reflective pond, formerly a pool at the site behind the pool house gift shop.

“It’s a whole new feature within the garden, it has its own artistic aspect to it,” said Ball.

The Mid Island Floral Arts Club exhibits popular dis-plays at the event and that group will be taking advan-tage of that new area, Ball explained, with their live and previously living, floral art.

The tea room will be open early at 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., serving soup and scones, and there will be hot dogs available outside.

Live music will run from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the event this year and will include Eric Harp-er, Fred Saliani, and the McShane sisters.

There will be various artistic mediums for people to peruse, including painting, photography, pottery, mixed

media, jewelry and more. Some of the artists people can expect are acrylic artist Nana Cook, pastel artist Dan Gray, Els Schutte and her Masai and Native figures and Jessey LaFontaine working on her hand-painted gourds.

Regular admission prices are in effect, $11 for an adult, $6.50 for students and 12 and under are free.

Lazy Mike and the Rockin’ Recliners hit the Shady RestLISSA [email protected]

thusiasm and passion and consistently has crowds jumping to their music.

The band formed in 2007 and have made appearanc-es at a host of music festivals including the Vancouver Island Blues Bash in Victoria, SkyHigh Blues in Rock

Creek, and at the Summer Street Dance in Hedley, B.C.Mike Mallon will be rocking the harmonica and vo-

cals at the Shady this Saturday, Bob Berry will be playing bass and singing, Kyle Guineau will play lead guitar and Ryan Connell will play drums and join in on vocals.

Brilliant Bluegrass: From left, John Milne and Chris Stevens from the band Blue Touques played an impressive set to open the Coombs Bluegrass Festival Aug. 9 at the Rodeo Grounds.

An exhibition showcases a variety of functional and whimsical basketsImpressive baskets at MAC LISSA [email protected]

The Basket Cases are selling their eye-catching and intri-cate creations at the McMillan Arts Centre until the end of the month.

The group, with members on Gabriola Island and Nanai-mo, makes artful baskets out of mostly natural materials they have collected. This includes honeysuckle and blackberry vines, kelp, pine needles, ivy and driftwood.

The Basket Cases formed in 2002 on Gabriola Island when a tapestry weaver and bas-ket-maker thought she’d get a group of people together to make and sell baskets to ben-efit the food bank at Christ-mas time. It worked and they raised $1,800.

Marylyn Beaubien was one of the women who took part and made her first basket.

“There was enough of us who were enthused about it and wanting to carry on, so we formed a loose group and started meeting every week,” she said.

The baskets Beaubien has made range from a small egg-cup sized one to a large laundry basket. Some baskets in the show at the MAC are functional and others, whim-sical art pieces. Many of the elements in the baskets have been dyed, showing a range of colours. Beaubien shared what can be found at the show.

“Many are brightly co-loured, some of them made with totally natural materi-al, so they’re all lovely soft browns and golds and greys and greens— a wide range for sure.”

There are 137 baskets in the show including potato bas-kets, market or berry-picking baskets, vegetable baskets and more.

The exhibition is up in the Oceanside Gallery until the end of the month.

Meanwhile, in the Concert Gallery, visitors will find Small

in Nature. This is the 16th an-nual miniature show display-ing two and three dimensional work from local and interna-tional artists.

In the Nemeth Gallery work by photographer John Whitelaw can be found. This includes patterns, avian por-traits, constructions and whimsy. None of the shots have been significantly digital-ly altered.

For more on the McMillan Arts Centre visit www.mcmil-lanartscentre.com or call 250-248-8185.

SUBMITTED PHOTO By MARyLyN BEAUBIEN

This basket, one of 137 at an exhibition at the MAC, is made exclusively of pine needles and waxed linen thread.

Biscotti soon to mix with books and local artBiscotti Di Notte & More owner Mirella Trozzo will be back at the Farmer’s

Market in Qualicum Beach this Saturday, and she has more than cookies in mind.Trozzo sold her products at the market for four years, and has been away from

the market for two. A poem she wrote towards the end of her four-years at the mar-ket, called The Biscotti that took Forever to Bake, will be in a children’s book she is currently working on, along with artwork from fellow Qualicum Beach Farmer’s market vendor and artist Peggy Burkosky. Illustrations will also be done by local artist Elena Trevanut.

A charcoal drawing by Burkosky of Trozzo currently hangs in an exhibition at The Old School House Arts Centre.

Trozzo is also in the process of creating a new biscotti for the Qualicum Farm-er’s Market, and she’ll also sell her Italian shortbread, pizzelle and mercato muf-fins.

Mike Pimlott helped open the Save-On-Foods store here LISSA [email protected]

A celebration that took place at Save-On-Foods in Parksville on Friday marked the end of a 45-year career for the store’s produce manager.

Mike Pimlott was with the company for eight years before he was part of the crew that opened the food store that is now the Save-On-Foods in Parksville back in 1974. Since then he’s worked with the Overwaitea Food Group in Abbotsford, Hope, Courtenay and Nanaimo, before he was transferred back to the Parksville Store. Pimlott has worked the majority of his career as pro-duce manager.

On Friday, staff had set up a taco bar and desserts for Pimlott, along with some cheeky messages and a sombrero for him to wear.

At his celebration he told The NEWS what he would miss most about the job.

“The fellow staff members and some of the friendly customers,” he said.

Assistant Store manager Terry Marquis was serving up the taco meat at the party. He con-gratulated Pimlott in his long career with the Overwaitea Food Group, on behalf of manage-ment and staff.

Pimlott said he and his wife Sue plan on do-ing some travelling, and in the short term they will visit New Zealand and Mexico. He said he will also keep busy enjoying some of his favou-rite sports, like slow pitch, golf, curling, hockey and skiing.

OPEN HOUSE Get approved for a mortgageMany things can impact a mortgage

application. Here are the ways to overcome liabilities and improve your standing with prospective lenders.

• Know your credit rating. Your credit rating is a score that lenders rely on when deciding whether or not to approve your mortgage application. The higher the credit rating, the more attractive you look to prospective lenders. But the lower your score is, the more diffi culty you will have getting a loan. Should you get a loan with a low score, you may have to pay a higher interest rate than someone with better credit. Prior to making any big fi nancial decisions, such as applying for a mortgage, it is vital to fi nd out your credit score.

• Once you know your score, you can take steps to address any issues on the report. Pay down revolving consumer debts, such as credit card balances and auto loans. Report any errors on your credit report so they can be adjusted. Pay bills on time and address any notices of collections before they make it onto your permanent record. If you will be applying for a loan soon, avoid opening any other credit accounts for the time being.

• Maintain steady employment. Having a job is often vital to getting a mortgage. Lenders tend to look for long-term fi nancial stability, which is best illustrated by maintaining steady employment. Jumping from job to job may be a red fl ag to lenders, so it’s better to make a switch after you have been approved for a loan.

• Save, save, save. Having more money in the bank lowers your loan-to-value ratio, or LTV. This will make you appear less risky

to lenders. Individuals who have saved for a considerable down payment on a home are also seen in a better light.

• Make sure you have a credit history. Some people are too cautious with their credit and think closing accounts or avoiding credit entirely will make them more attractive to lenders. But this can backfi re. Lenders will want to see a strong credit history that indicates your ability to pay your debts on time.

• Get a cosigner. If you are uncertain about your ability to secure a loan on your own, then consider a cosigner to make you more attractive to prospective lenders. The cosigner helps guarantee the lender that your mortgage payments will be made.

People looking to buy a home in the near future must make themselves attractive to mortgage lenders, many of whom are still reluctant to approve loans for candidates without strong fi nancial backgrounds.

The purchase price of your new home is the biggest cost you will come across in your home-buying venture, but it is not the only one. A REALTOR® can provide you with helpful advice about other costs involved, some of which may include the following:

Application/Mortgage Broker Fee: Processing your mortgage application

costs lenders money. Consumers may be charged a fee by a lender or a mortgage broker for setting up a mortgage when in-come or credit issues become more sen-sitive to the approval process.

Appraisal Fee: The money you borrow for your mort-

gage is usually a percentage of the home’s purchase price, or of the market appraisal -- whichever is lower. The lender will use someone on staff or an independent pro-fessional to make this appraisal. You are normally responsible for this cost.

Land Survey Fee: A plot plan or survey of the property

you want to buy is important to estab-lish exactly where the boundaries are and make sure there are no encroachments such as part of your neighbour’s house or garage sitting on your land. Your lending institution will want to see such a survey and can let you know what their require-ments are.

Insurance: If you are applying for a high-ratio

mortgage – that is, if you are borrowing more than 80 per cent of your home’s purchase price – you will have to pay for mortgage insurance to protect the lender in the event that you fail to make the nec-essary payments. As your new home will be used as security for your mortgage, the lender will want you to have extend-

ed coverage and fire insurance. You may also wish to check out the cost of buying mortgage life insurance. This insurance ensures that the mortgage balance is paid off if you or a co-borrower dies.

Legal Fees: These are the fees charged by a lawyer

to help you complete the home-buying process. Disbursements are the costs in-volved in processes such as conducting a title search, drawing up the title deed and preparing and registering the mortgage.

Property Transfer Tax: This is calculated on the property’s

purchase price at the rate of one per cent up to $200,000 and two per cent of the price over $200,000. First-time buyers may be exempt from this tax subject to certain restrictions. Ask your REALTOR® for details.

HST: When you buy a new home, the en-

tire purchase price is taxable. You may, however, qualify for a partial provincial New Housing Rebate if you plan to live in the home yourself. Ask your REAL-TOR® for details. A “used” residential home is normally exempt from the HST. Remember that HST is also applied to the REALTOR®’S commission and most other transaction fees such as legal and appraisal costs.

Other Costs: When you buy a home you will also

want to budget for utility bills, annual property taxes and maintenance costs.

“An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.

Don’t forget to ask your REALTOR® about these and other costs when calcu-lating the total cost of your selling home.

• Commission Fee (There is no set commission rate in the real estate profession. All real estate fees are negotiable.)

• Adjustments, may include property tax adjustments

• Final maintenance and utility costs • Lawyer or notary fees and expenses –

attending to execution of documents • Costs of clearing the title, including: • Discharge fees charged by encum-

brance holders • Pre-payment penalties • Insurance – should maintain until

the latter of either the date when you receive the proceeds of sale or when you vacate the property

• Real estate commission fee • Moving fees

Working with a Real Estate Agent: Buyers and sellers are presented with

the brochure “Working with a Real Estate Agent” when they first meet a REALTOR®. Industry regulations have now made it mandatory for agents to explain imme-diately the kind of relationship you can have with your REALTOR®, also known as agency. The agent will ask you to sign a statement in the brochure acknowledging this discussion has taken place, tear off and keep the signed statement, and give you the brochure for future reference.

Signing the disclosure statement does not give you any obligation to that REAL-TOR®. It merely confirms that you have discussed your agency representation options. If you decide to buy or sell with that REALTOR® you will sign a contrac-tual agreement: the listing agreement (as a seller) or the exclusive buyers' agency agreement (as a buyer). MLS® Listing Contract:

Sellers will sign a Multiple Listing Ser-vice® Listing Contract with their REAL-TOR®. This contract outlines the terms of their listing, including the length of time for the listing, the price, the commission to be paid, all the parties to the listing, the address and the legal description of the property to be sold, how the seller is to be paid, the preferred possession date, the financial obligations, and other informa-tion regarding the property.

The MLS® Listing Contract is the sell-er's agreement with the listing agency, not the salesperson. If the salesperson leaves that company, it is up to the seller and the

listing company to decide whether or not the listing will go with the salesperson, or whether it will stay with the original com-pany and be assigned to another salesper-son.

The standard MLS® Listing Contract explains that the seller is liable to pay a commission if the listing agent or a coop-erating agent brings an offer which meets all of the stated terms and conditions of the seller. As with other services, there is HST payable on commission, so when you are calculating your proceeds, take that into consideration. Data Input Form:

Your REALTOR® will fill out the Data Input Form, which asks for all the neces-sary information to list your property. This includes the number and size of rooms, lot size, construction type, house style and more. Data from this form is entered into the MLS® database, where other REAL-TORS® are able to match your home with buyers. Exclusive Listing Contract:

You and your REALTOR® will use an Exclusive Listing Contract if you choose not to list your property on the Multiple Listing Service®. An exclusive listing pub-licizes by advertising and the sign alone, without the benefit of the catalogue/com-puter. Sellers sometimes believe an exclu-sive listing will encourage fewer "lookers," and more buyers. However, an exclusive listing is often overlooked by REALTORS® working with buyers, because the first place they look is in the MLS® catalogue/computer. The greater the number of peo-

ple who know about a property the great-er the chance a larger number of serious buyers will meet your terms and asking price. Listing Amendment:

A Listing Amendment form is used whenever a change is made to the origi-nal MLS® or Exclusive Listing Contract. A change may involve extending the listing date, changing the price, altering wording on the print- out, correcting measure-ments, or tax or financial information to name a few. All the owners and the man-ager of listing agency will need to sign this form. Listing Cancellation:

Sometimes it is necessary to cancel a listing. You and your REALTOR® will need to fill out a Listing Cancellation Form. This form usually has a preprinted clause stat-ing if the property sells within 60 days of cancellation, or before the natural expiry of the listing (whichever comes first), the seller is liable for commission. This is to ensure a REALTOR® receives compensa-tions for the advertising dollars and hours spent showing a home prior to a listing cancellation. If the seller is thinking of canceling a listing because they are dissat-isfied with the service of a REALTOR®, the seller should speak to the manager of the listing agency and outline their concerns. The listing agency will make every effort to achieve satisfactory results. Hold Action Form:

Sometimes the personal circumstances of a seller changes, and it is necessary to temporarily stop marketing a home. If this

happens, your REALTOR® will help you fill out a Hold Action Form. This form tells other REALTORS® who have access to your listing through the MLS® system that you wish to delay the sale of your home. Property Disclosure Statement (PDS):

A seller is legally responsible to provide accurate information about the property they are selling. This includes all knowl-edge about the property, defects about which the owner is aware, and any up-coming expenses (such as special assess-ments in strata-titled properties). This information is provided on the Property Disclosure Statement form, and is filled out by the seller. The REALTOR® is not permitted to fill out the PDS on behalf of the seller.

Answers on the PDS must be correct and complete. The buyer will rely on this information if they decide to purchase the property, and any incorrect or incomplete information can make the seller liable. The PDS does not cover every aspect of the property, and the buyer must still make their own inquiries. The buyer can also hire an independent, licensed inspector. Limited Dual Agency Agreement:

When an agent represents a buyer and a seller in a single transaction, it’s necessary to complete a Limited Dual Agency Agree-ment. This form gives an agent authoriza-tion to represent both parties in a limited capacity, while maintaining both parties' confidences regarding motivation, negoti-ating positions and personal information (unless either party gives the agent written permission to disclose

We are hosting a free information seminar on May 14th @ 1:00 at the Parksville Travel Lodge (424 W. Island Hwy, Parksville) to help you explore the many housing options available in our community. Perhaps you have been thinking of downsizing to a smaller home, patio home or condo, independent seniors living or assisted living and simply do not know what is available. We want to help you ex-plore your options so that you can make an informed decision when determining your next step. There will be a variety of guest speakers, professionals in their field to discuss everything from possible home choices (such as Hawthorne Place, Emerald Estates & The Gardens), Smart Moves who specialize in seniors relocation to an ac-countant to discuss tax deferment. Most of us are not aware of the many affordable housing choices available and avoid making any decision as it may seem overwhelm-ing. We are here to provide information, show you some of the choices and let you know there is help every step of the way. This event will be hosted by Karen Roberts (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) & Clinton Miller (owner-manager of Royal Lepage Parksville/Qualicum Beach).
