RCMP urge residents notto bring them into detachment

NEIL [email protected]

� e prognosis looks good for a pair of infant black bear cubs that were orphaned when their mother was struck by a car on the Nanaimo Parkway � ursday night.

North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre founder Robin Campbell said the mother was killed immediately from the impact, leaving her two young cubs up in a tree.

“� e police showed up and found somebody already there, cutting the feet o� the mum,” Campbell said. “� e cops put the run on them and they took o� .”

� e cubs posed a challenge to rescuers, as they were

too young to be safely sedated, so the � re department was called and the pair were plucked to safety with the aid of their cherry-picker bucket.

� e dead mother bear was loaded into a pickup truck and taken to the North Island Wildlife Recovery facility in Errington, where she was rubbed down with blankets to put her scent on them.

“Even when she was dead they were trying to suck o� her,” Campbell said. “We put them in the intensive care area. � ey cried for about 20 minutes and then started to settle down. � en they seemed to be doing well.”

AMNESTY


Corporal Jesse Foreman may pack a pistol, but he isn’t particularly a big fan of them and he de� nitely doesn’t want to see one being car-ried into the RCMP station during this month’s gun amnesty campaign.

“Don’t bring guns to the detachment,” Fore-man said Friday. “We are more than happy to pick them up. Call us and we’ll work around your schedule. We don’t want people driving around with guns.”

� e provincewide gun amnesty runs for the month of June and is designed to get as many unwanted guns out of the community as pos-sible.

“What do kids play with? Guns,” he said. “� e less of them there are on the streets the better.”

During the amnesty, residents will be able to safely dispose of unwanted, documented or undocumented � rearms, weapons and am-munition that have not been used in a criminal o� ence, without facing weapons-related Crimi-nal Code charges.

“� is is a golden opportunity,” Foreman said. “� ere are hundreds of guns out there where people are wondering what to do with them. � ere are lots of people who are wid-owed into guns or a father will have a prize gun collection willed to his kids and they don’t want anything to do with them.”

Although police are hoping for a strong re-sponse to their appeal, they stress that guns used in crimes are not eligible for the amnesty.

Anyone who would like to get rid of an un-wanted � rearm should call the Oceanside RCMP non-emergency number at 250-248-6111.

Qualicum CAO elected to CAMA board

Long-service award for local paramedic

This is the third time in last five weeks it has been damagedLISSA [email protected]

Storybook Village has been vandalized again, with windows in the miniature houses smashed, locks broken and signage damaged.

The child-size village is located at Qualicum Beach Elementary School, a project of the dis-trict’s Building Learning Together (BLT) coali-tion, which supports early learning for children ages zero to six and their families.

Literacy co-ordinator with BLT, Lori Mar-shall, said this is third or fourth time in the

last five weeks it has been damaged. It makes it unsafe for the preschool kids and elementary school kids who use it on a daily basis, she said.

“It’s just not safe or welcoming,” she said. “And it’s disrespectful to all the volunteer hours that have gone into this.”

Gillian Wilson, the director of instruction with the local school district, it’s all volunteers who run the Storybook Village at no cost to community members, and it’s very sad to see this ongoing damage occurring.

She said she hopes people will become aware of the problem and keep their eyes out for suspicious activity at the site, and report it to the police.

GRAD FUN: Qualicum Beach’s streets were pure class on Saturday evening during Kwalicum Secondary School’s Grad Parade. While fairy-tale princess dresses were aplenty, there were also sophisticated gowns, all-out bright, flashy numbers and stylish, dapper suits that rode through town on fire trucks, school buses, old classics, tractors, ATVs and scooters like this couple above. At the civic centre grads descended down the red carpet for photos and waited to enter their Las Vegas-themed dry-grad celebrations. Visit www.facebook.com/PQBNews for more photos.

NO INJURIES: The cause of a fire that severely damaged the interior of a home in Whiskey Creek on the weekend remains unclear, but the owners suspect an electrical problem. The fire broke out Saturday afternoon at the home of Val Bellwood while her son, Scott MacDonald was in his room upstairs. “I was working out,” he said. “At first I thought a breaker went because my music went off and then my step dad came up and asked if I was cooking anything because it smelt like burning, and I said no.” The two men went to investigate the smell, only to find the dining room downstairs engulfed in flames. Coombs firefighter Arron Poirier said the cause of the fire remains under investigation. He said nobody was injured, but the house sustained significant smoke damage to the interior, as well as some flame damage at the rear of the house. Bellwood said the home was insured.

As one of the biggest celebrations on Van-couver Island, Parksville’s Canada Day is stick-ing with its winning formula but always making minor improvements explained stage manager Megan Olsen.

One notable change will see the day’s ac-tivities open downtown, where the traditional Shriner’s pancake breakfast will be relocated from Community Park.

“That’s the biggest change, people can go downtown early for the parade and they don’t have to go up and down the hill into the park,” she said.

The popular start of the day will run from 7:30 to 11 a.m. in the Coastal Community Cred-it Union parking lot where people will already be on location when the parade starts at 10 a.m.

Organized by the Parksville Rotary Club for the third year, the day will kick into high gear with the parade on its familiar route from Shelly Road, along Highway 19A and up Craig Street to city hall.

Activity in Community Park starts at noon on the main stage in the big field with a celebra-tion of Rotary’s 100 year’s of service, opening speeches and Oh Canada.

An acoustic showcase will ease people into

the day’s music amid the park filled with ven-dors, children’s games, rides and family activities of all sorts — which Olsen said they are making a special effort to make more affordable this year.

The showcase will include a host of local solo and small groups and duos, including some of the area’s amazing younger talent.

At 4 p.m. Victoria’s folk/rock Archers — who recently opened for Hey Ocean — will play for an hour, followed by the local Electric Kool-Aid.

Runner up in the provincial Peak Perfor-mance Project, Jordan Klassen, will take to the stage at 6 p.m. with his gentle folk stylings, fol-lowed by local favourites and Rod and Gun reg-ulars Baby Jane at 7 p.m.

The big headliner this year is U4 who bill them-selves as “Canada’s premier U2 tribute” and will bring a big show to Parksville’s big park starting at 8:30 p.m. and running through to the fireworks spectacular at about 10 p.m. over the bay.

Though accurate numbers are impossible in a wide open park, organizers have estimated around 20,000 people come through, and while all the work is well under way Olsen is calling for all the volunteer help they can get.

Anyone interested in volunteering, donating or getting involved in any way is encouraged to contact Olsen at [email protected] or 250-937-0999 or Raven Pruden at 250-240-6848.

Last year, more than 40,000 riders helped raise more than $7 million for researchBRENDA GOUGHNEWS contributor

The Heart and Stroke Big Bike will be in Parksville June 4 and Qualicum Beach June 5 and sev-eral organizations and business-es have registered to ride the bike and raise funds.

One team in Parksville leading the way with over $2,000 in dona-tions is the Coastal-Coast-A-Na-tors.

Made up of members of Coastal Community Credit Union the team led by Wendy Penko will pedal through Parks-ville at 6 p.m. Tuesday as they support heart disease and stroke research.

If they reach their $4,000 goal they’ll hit a five-year total of $20,000 in honour of the Big Bike’s 20th anniversary, said CCCU manager Mark Jones.

Other teams include The Ca-reer Centre, Parksville & District Association for Community Liv-ing, RCMP, the Town of Quali-cum Beach and Hearts in Motion Walking Club.

Last year, more than 40,000 riders, in over 200 communities, helped raise more than $7 mil-lion for research.

Teams made up of 29 enthusi-astic riders committed to raise a minimum of $50 each for the the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, which is celebrating 50 years of working towards better cardiovascular health through research, health promotion and advocacy.

Everyone is invited to stop by and support the teams leaving from the Parksville Communi-ty and Conference Centre from noon to 7 p.m. today and Ra-vensong Aquatic Centre from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow.

Campbell and the staff start-ed the cubs on a special bear milk replacement formula and then moved them on to an omnivore diet of blended pab-lum, apple sauce and cottage cheese.

“Their condition looks good, their coats look good and it’s

just a matter of making sure nothing happens to them in our care,” Campbell said. “They are eating on their own, so they don’t have to be bottle fed, which is a big plus.”

Because the cubs are with-out their mother, Campbell said they are sure to be stressed

and therefore more prone to disease. Because of this, any-one dealing with them has to take off their footwear and put on special sanitized boots, so they don’t track in any poten-tial pathogens.

“We’ll keep them in here un-til they are 18 pounds or so and

then we will transfer them into the new bear facility we built last year,” Campbell said. “We’ll keep them to next June or July and then, depending on what’s going on in the environment, we’ll release them.”

He said he’s confident the bears will survive their ordeal.

Search and rescue teams from around Vancouver Island gathered in Parksville on the weekend for their semi-annual Rescue on the Rock exercise.

The idea of the exercise, say organizers, was to hone their skills in a group setting, so they’ll be able to put names to faces when they are called out to assist each other in mutual aid calls.

The exercise saw river rescues, rope res-cues, aircraft searches and even a search on horseback.

The searchers based most of their activity at Top Bridge Regional Park.

Notice of a PUBLIC HEARINGApplication No. PL2012-123

2715 Turnbull RoadElectoral Area ‘H’

Pursuant to Sections 890, 891, and 892 of the Local Government Act, we advise you that a public hearing has been scheduled in your area with respect to a proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 500.383, 2013 and will be held:

Office hours are Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, with extended hours on Wednesdays 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, excluding statutory holidays.

The OCP and the Regional Growth Strategy would have to be amended for this proposalNEIL [email protected]

Does Bill Veenhof think it’s a good idea to virtually double the popula-tion in the Deep Bay area?

The Area H director with the Regional District of Nanaimo isn’t saying.In an interview, Veenhof stressed he must remain neutral on the issue of

a controversial development and therefore declined to give his opinion on the proposed Deep Bay strata development by Baynes Sound Investments, which would see 386 residential units and an RV resort with 292 units, along with park space, trails and a community building.

“I’m trying to stay absolutely neutral on this one,” Veenhof said Thurs-day. “There are people for and against. We are having the conversation about where it goes and doubling the population is something for the local residents to decide, not me.”

At a RDN meeting in April, several people spoke against the proposed development, while only developer Jim Crawford spoke in favour. How-ever, Veenhof stressed he has had communication with several other people in the Deep Bay community who are also in favour of the plan.

“There is certainly a group of people quite in favour of it,” he said.The RDN board is currently reviewing a proposed public consultation

plan on the proposal and Veenhof expects it to be presented some time in mid-June.

“That will lay out the public consultation,” he said. “That will have a survey of the residents and that survey will determine whether or not we actually go the distance of looking at the official community plan and the regional growth strategy.”

For the development to go ahead, both the OCP and RGS would have to be amended.

Veenhof has stated he will cast his vote in accordance with the major-ity will expressed in the survey.

Ambassadors of used oilAUREN [email protected]

Summer Ambassadors for the B.C. Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA) and Tire Stewardship B.C. (TSBC) were in Parksville Qualicum Beach last week to promote the recy-cling of used oil, antifreeze and tires.

“We’re travelling around to canvas and at-tend locations in communities to promote pub-lic awareness about recycling…” said Carmen Ang during a stop at OK Tire in Parksville with fellow ambassador Nadine Hoyt.

The pair are one of two teams visiting over

700 collection facilities in 130 communities throughout the province to generate aware-ness to keep the recyclable materials away from landfills and out of drinking water.

“It’s a good service since they used to have to pay someone to take it away,” Hoyt said.

“To think about how important it is, consid-er one drop of oil can contaminate one million drops of oil,” Ang said.

NOTICE OFPUBLIC HEARING

Some form of independent senior living tops the legion’s wish listAUREN [email protected]

Progress is slow, but the Parksville Legion #49 has a lot going on while they work to re-develop their four prime downtown lots.

“We’ve been talking to two companies, one from Ontario and one from the Lower Main-land,” said land use committee chair Don Livingstone. “Basi-cally we’re waiting to see what they’re offering.”

In their latest effort, the cash poor but land rich legion is hoping to find a partner to build a new building with a legion, housing and/or com-mercial space, costing the le-gion nothing and maybe gen-erating revenue. Some form of independent senior living tops the legion’s wish list.

Livingstone said a feasibili-ty study a few years ago found that Parksville could easily ab-sorb their project, plus anoth-er one.

“The members are getting a little jaded, after 30 years of trying,” Livingstone said, pointing out they have been formally talking about re-de-velopment since at least 1985.

The legion was built in 1929, added to twice, and is definitely showing its age, Liv-ingstone said, but they don’t

want to put much money into it if they’re going to rebuild.

He said they haven’t heard anything from the Ontario de-veloper in a couple months, but have had several meetings with the Surrey-based com-pany and are looking into the complex details of different forms of ownership and part-nership that might work.

Progress is also slowed by the fact that any formal deci-sions have to be cleared both by their members and the B.C./Yukon Command.

“Assuming everything goes as planned — which it never does — (the company) said they could complete it by the end of 2013.”

Meanwhile, new legion president Shona Rowe assures everyone they are still burst-ing with activity and bringing in some younger crowds with things like their Saturday night dances, featuring heavy metal

band Fear of the Valley June 15.Timberline plays classic

rock every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and they are looking to repeat Nanaimo’s success with regular singles dances starting next month.

They also have karaoke (June 7) and music trivia on alternating Friday nights.

And, of course, they are still busy with legion staples like Remembrance Day cere-monies and the Canada Day parade. They offer medical equipment loans of things like wheelchairs, have bingo ev-ery Sunday, Monday, Thurs-day and Friday at 6 p.m. and all kinds of euchre, dominos, card games and pool.

Don’t miss their big garage sale this Saturday, June 8 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more infor-mation call the office at 250-248-5633 or stop by to pick up their monthly calendar and newsletter.


The federal government and municipalities across the country need a whole new relation-ship says Parksville mayor Chris Burger.

“Cities and towns are on the ground and we are the innovators,” Burger said. “We under-stand everyday issues Canadians face more than any other order of government. We live it. There’s a real push to get a new relationship with the federal government that will allow us to provide better advice and be part of an ongo-ing conversation beyond lobbying efforts.”

Burger made the comments Friday as he prepared to attend the weekend’s Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference in Vancouver.

The FCM on Friday issued a call for a new strategic federal-municipal partnership that goes beyond municipalities holding their hands out for more money.

“Today’s report tells a story of a changing Can-ada where the issues Canadians care about are no longer purely federal or provincial issues,” said FCM president Karen Leibovici. “Issues such as safe streets, gridlock and climate change are play-ing out primarily in the places we call home.”

Burger enthusiastically supports the find-ings of the report.

“I can relate it to a couple of things at the lo-cal level,” he said. “The Englishman River Water Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project is a good example. We are innovating with new technology that has very positive potential im-plications for the entire country. So how do we engage with the federal government in a mean-ingful way so that gets out to the feds so they understand there are ways and means that im-prove on the way we do things.”

Similarly, he said, the need for greater coop-eration goes the other way as well.

“Look at the rail line,” he said. “That’s a clas-sic example. If we ever return to having that, we need the federal government at the table, be-cause without their engagement it’s never go-ing to happen.”

That sentiment was echoed by Leibovici.“For Canada to embrace the 21st Century

with confidence it needs cities and commu-nities that contribute according to their full potential,” she said. “Jurisdiction and consti-tution can no longer be used as excuses for inaction.”

June is ALS Awareness Month and the kick off for the 2013 PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS. Here’s Fairwinds golf pro Brett Standerwick describing yet another innovative way to raise awareness and funds for ALS:

“June is here, which for me each year for the past six years means I am gearing up for my Golf-A-Thon for ALS. Tuesday June 11, I will be teeing off at first light and playing all day long to raise awareness and funds for the ALS Society of B.C. Over the years I have tried to get creative with this to try and help increase the exposure for this event supported province wide by the PGA of B.C. Two years ago, I climbed, and played golf, up a mountain, the Golden Hinde on Vancou-ver Island, which was a great experience and something I will never forget. This year I thought I would focus, and pay tribute to, arguably the most historical and prominent ALS fighter of all time, and for whom the disease was originally named, Lou Gehrig. This year rather than teeing off with driver, I will be hitting all my tee shots

with a Baseball Bat, and will aim to play 184 holes, Lou Gehrig’s single season RBI record, second all-time in MLB history. If you can help me support this great cause I would really appre-ciate it. You can donate directly through the ALS web site under my name: www.golfathonforals.ca, at Fairwinds Golf Club or by contacting me directly (250-468-7054 ext 233).”

The ink isn’t even dry on the ballots, the MLAs yet to be officially sworn into office, but it’s clear now there was a lot of Chicken Little talk going on during and just after the provincial election.

If you believed the dire warnings of some, and the crying May 15, the election of the B.C. Liberals meant tankers up and down the coast, pipelines criss-cross-ing the province, a coal mine outside every town.

We were all going to environmental hell, said the de-tractors. Oh yeah, and the sky is falling, too.

Well, let’s review what has transpired in the scant 21 days since the B.C. Liberals won a surprising major-ity, and the spin games being subsequently played. It seems what some people want just isn’t good enough when they get if from someone they don’t like.

Two days after the provincial election, the B.C. Envi-ronmental Assessment Office (EAO) sent the Raven coal mine proposal back to the proponents with 114 pages of questions to answer if there was ever going to be a chance for this to even make a single step toward reality.

In essence, it was a rejection of Raven’s application. Compliance Coal says it will do further work and re-sub-mit, but the less-than-encouraging message from the gov-ernment was clear. Would the EAO have come to the same decision regardless of the party in power? We want to be-lieve science is what ruled the day so yes, but if the decision went the other way, you can bet your life the B.C. Liberals would have been the target of all the blame throwing.

Late last week, Premier Christy Clark announced her government’s opposition to the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Said the Pembina Institute: “It is clear that (Clark) has listened to the concerns of British Colum-bians, considered the evidence presented by Enbridge and found the proposal fails to address the province’s environmental concerns.”

Said NDP Leader Adrian Dix: “The B.C. Liberals signed away decision-making authority to Ottawa in 2010 and that has not changed. We know Ottawa con-tinues to support the project, so saying ‘no’ today is a toothless gesture and the Liberals know it.”

So, the feds are going to allow for this pipeline to be built regardless of B.C.’s opposition? Just going to ram it through and bulldoze the protestors who will likely show up in the hundreds or even thousands now that they have the backing of their provincial government?

Stranger things have happened and we wouldn’t put it past this particular prime minister to plow ahead despite our province’s opposition, but then again, we also don’t see the sky falling like some others do.

resign.” May 23.Reading this article reminded me of Eng-

lish war-bride mother’s stoic wisdom. Sit-ting by our woodstove at our kitchen table in then rural Coquitlam (now the very up-set Conservative MP James Moore’s riding), upon hearing of this kind of attempting to shift the blame on to others would just smile, glance at her old tea kettle and com-ment wisely ...” thats like the Kettle calling the pot black!.”

A lineup of worried Conservatives and the prime minister himself are seeking to shift their involvement in “Duffy-gate” to the two ex-journalists their own caucus strategically picked to stack the very Senate they told us they would reform if elected.

They defended the hapless Senators art-fully, until the public furor and focus on the PM’s office became uncomfortable for them.

When told top aides in the PMOs office were found illegally engineering covering up Duffy’s alleged expense misconduct, most of the Canadian public has a very dif-ficult time believing the prime minister did not discuss this with his close chief of staff.

Nigel Wright was noted for micromanag-ing the PM’s daily activities and had con-stant communication on strategy and pub-lic statements.

I am sure many Conservative MPs and the PMO are ruffled. However, I suspect is more the ruffle of the public’s focus on how the prime minister himself could not have known of the plan to make this huge back-room payment of hush money to make this story go away.

Upon hearing of the prime minister warning his cabinet against dishonest acts

and now listening to Conservative MPs lining up suddenly to attack their former Dream Team in the Senate calls for se-vere punishment and reform, my mother’s words again ring in my ear.

Christy run here?John Harding’s editorial May 28 (‘Some

Suggestions’) points a finger directly at one of the major weaknesses in our political sys-tem.

Yes, local issues were not addressed in the recent election campaign because most of us vote for a party and its proposed pro-vincial agenda. Local issues remain on a wish list.

The value of the candidate is based most-ly on experience, not good looks or person-ality.

In this constituency, we had three candi-dates with loads of good looks and person-ality, but virtually no experience.

So, I have another suggestion to add to Harding’s. We have a premier without a seat in the legislature. Parksville Qualicum Beach is a dead certainty to elect a B.C. Liberal in a byelection, so ask Michelle Stil-well to step down to make way for Premier Christy Clarke to run.

This would give us senior, experienced representation in the government and thus, perhaps, a higher priority from the deci-sion-makers.

Stilwell would be afforded the freedom to persue her athletic activities, which she has stated she intends to do, without interrupt-ing the affairs of state.

Sounds like a win-win to me.F.H. HoRneR

Qualicum Beach

surrey is very niCeRecently, in Qualicum Beach, there have

been a series of critical changes voted in primarily by three councillors. These votes are against the expressed wishes of the ma-jority of citizens attending the many meet-ings concerning these changes.

The most recent in this series of criti-cal changes is the third reading approval of a five-storey, residential block. It will be a game changer for the character of Quali-cum Beach. Its design is out of step, its size is out of step and it is going to be expensive for taxpayers — who will pay for the neces-sary infrastructure required such as buried wires and additional traffic lights?

Throughout the series of changes I kept asking why? What is the purpose and ben-efit for our very special town? The answers the three councillors give often seem vague and/or off topic. However, in pursuing the explanations they gave for the develop-ment of this huge apartment block, I feel like I have fallen down the white rabbit hole where reason has been turned upside down.

Building this apartment block that is ob-jectionably oversized for our town and a completely different design than the crafts-man style of our town will negatively affect Qualicum Beach’s attractiveness. The cur-rent charm and profile of Qualicum Beach with our beautiful Town Hall and clock tow-er visible for most places in town are keys to our town’s economic base. The town’s charisma, along with quality of life, are the reasons people come here to visit, return for subsequent visits and stay.

Perhaps these three councillors would be happier running for council in Surrey.

No do-overs oN miNeNow that the dust has settled from the re-

cent Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) rejection of the Compliance Coal Corporation application for an environmental assessment certificate, a review of the major information gaps in the application raises some interesting questions.

Compliance spent nearly 10 months and an untold amount of money to compile and submit their application, and the EAO after six weeks of evaluation rejected it “identifying the major information requirements the EAO considered not to have been adequately addressed as per the AIR”. Was this due to incompetence, lack of due diligence or possibly just plain sloppiness?

The response from Compliance to the ap-plication rejection was “it’s typical and not un-expected to get the application back, we’re not overly upset”. Basically saying they’re fine with the EAO giving them a “do-over”.

Can you imagine a scenario where your child spent months on a term paper, knew what was required to be in the term paper, submitted the term paper and received an incomplete/failing grade, and their explanation to you, is “they weren’t overly upset,” it wasn’t unexpected to get a failing grade, besides the teacher gave them a do-over?

Probably the most glaring area of missing information in the application centered around hydrology issues, water treatment, etc. How is it possible after all of the local government mo-tions that included requests for comprehensive aquifer mapping, and the concerns raised by

the public on water issues, an application was submitted with so much missing hydrology in-formation?

John SnyderFanny Bay

thiNk about waterWhen you turn on your tap, you hope that

safe water comes out, but do you ever stop to think about the actual source of that water?

All around the world, drinking water source protection and management has proven to be the least costly, and the most effective way to provide sustainable and safe drinking water.

We are very fortunate that we have a signif-icant amount of precipitation in this area, and it is relatively free of airborne contamination. With large expanses of comparatively pristine land at elevations above the general popula-tion, there should be no problem with provid-ing the region with a good quality, reasonably priced, sustainable supply of water.

Think again, the writing has been on the wall for more than 20 years.

There are some very serious issues relating to both water quality and quantity in the area. The powers to be will not come clean to the true picture of the water situation, or that many in-appropriate decisions in the past have resulted in some very tenuous supply problems.

Millions of dollars are being thrown at a sup-posed solution, with consultants reports piling high enough to build another dam.

Residents should be encouraged to inquire

about the drinking water sources, i.e. water-shed, catchment area, drainage basin, aqui-fer and groundwater levels for their particular drinking water supply.

Another fact to consider is that water is a universal solvent and contains traces of almost everything that it contacts; landfill, auto-wreck-ing, septic systems, industrial drainage, and cemetery come to mind.

I have posted some basic information on my website innovationbc.com.

Trevor WickSQualicum Beach

No laughiNg matterThank you for the continued coverage of

the Qualicum Beach town council meetings in The NEWS. In one of your most recent reports (‘Boundaries fuel debate’), I was particular-ly entertained by councillor Mary Brouilette’s assurance that the motion on the urban con-tainment boundary is only intended to bring information to council and has nothing to do with making development easier. Your reporter didn’t say whether the councillor said this with a straight face. If so, kudos to Brouilette for an-other great comedic performance.

The sad part, of course, is that her actions along with those of her two colleagues on coun-cil is no laughing matter. The damage to our town that will follow their continued assault on our OCP could be irreparable.

No cost is ever passed on to the quilt recipient or to the person who requests the quilt.

Oceanside Hospice Society

Few of us are prepared to face a life-threatening illness or the loss of a loved one. Hospice provides important support services that help others � nd comfort, meaning, dignity, and hope when faced with the dif� cult journey of living with dying and coping with loss.

Sadly, in this day and age, chupidity rules!

The great comedian George Carlin once said something that scared the hell out of me. “The average I.Q. is 100,” said George. “This means that half

of all humanity is stupider than that.”But how can that be? We live in an age

when we have an abundance of univer-sities and libraries, educators and schol-ars, the Internet, TED talks…. A time when people can read and consult and collaborate and…access wisdom more than ever before, and yet…

Read the news. 21 INJURED BY WALKING ON HOT COALS blares one headline.

Apparently, nearly two dozen mature adults attending a motivational seminar in San Jose, California were treated by firefighters for second and third-degree burns which they received after being encouraged to walk barefoot on white-hot coals by self-help guru Tony Robbins.

Burned from walking barefoot on glowing coals heated up to 1,100 degrees C. Who could possibly have foreseen?

Then there’s the tragic case of Richard

Swanson, recently killed by a pickup truck on Highway 101 on the outskirts of Lin-coln City, Oregon.

Mister Swanson was struck while dribbling a soc-cer ball on the side of High-way 101.

He planned to dribble that soccer ball down the entire length of the Ameri-can west coast through the mountains and jungles of Mexico and various Central and South American countries, all the way to Sao Paolo, Brazil, in time for the opening cer-emonies of the World Cup in 2014.

I’d suggest a one-word inscription on his tombstone: SERIOUSLY?

Sometimes the membrane between chutzpah and stupidity is hairline fine. Take the case of Francesco Schettino. Signor Schettino used to be a ship’s cap-tain, but he’s been unemployed since he piled his luxury liner, the Costa Concor-dia, into the Italian island of Giglio while showing off to a female passenger he fan-

cied. Schettino has been

charged with incompetence, manslaughter (32 passengers died) and abandoning ship (Schettino claims he ‘slipped and fell’ into a lifeboat in the midst of the evacuation).

But here’s the chutzpah/stupidity element: Schettino is counter-suing the cruise line that fired him — for wrongful dismissal.

He claims his skilful actions after the ship went aground prevented the deaths of ‘even more passengers’.

And then there’s our home-grown ge-nius of chutzpah/stupidity (call it chu-pidity?). I refer of course to that strutting, chirping chipmunk in charge (alas) of the National Hockey League, Gary Bettman.

Here is a man who, in his 20-year chokehold on the League has chased teams out of Quebec and Winnipeg while awarding franchises to such hockey hot-beds as Columbus, St. Louis and Tampa Bay.

And oh yes … Phoenix. Bettman’s done such a fine job on the

Phoenix franchise the experts say it may finally turn a profit next year.

Providing the Coyotes don’t play any games.

The Phoenix Business Journal claims the Phoenix Coyotes could have seen some black ink in the 2012-2013 season – but only if the lockout had continued for the entire season.

It seems those sky-high salaries the players command when they’re on the ice are killing the owners financially.

So it’s come to this: based on the team’s projections, the only way for the Phoenix Coyotes to make money is if they never play. Nice deke, Mister B!

The writer Harlan Ellison once wrote that the two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.

Don’t tell Bettman about the hydro-gen though — he’ll try to sell it an NHL franchise.

The Boston-based string band Joy Kills Sorrow is cur-rently touring through the Unit-ed States and will be coming to Canada, making their usual stop in Qualicum Beach on June 10.

“We always have a great time playing Qualicum, and it’s good excuse for me to come home,” said lead singer with the group and former resident, Emma Be-aton.

Joy Kills Sorrow consists of Beaton at the helm with powerful and captivating vocals, Matthew Arcara on guitar, Wes Corbett on banjo, Jacob Jolliff on mandolin and Zoe Guigueno on bass.

They’ve been described as “Accomplished virtuosos, and it shows in every note,” by Acous-

tic Guitar magazine and their last album This Unknown Sci-ence (2011) was “on the cutting edge of acoustic,” according to the Boston Globe.

The group is releasing a new EP on June 4 called Wide Awake, fea-turing six new songs and one cov-er: The Postal Service’s 2003 elec-tro-pop hit Such Great Heights.

With this song the group works their magic recreating an electronic hit with their tradi-tional string band instruments.

Beaton said the new album differs from their previous two albums in that it was self-pro-duced which allowed them to really focus on their sound, making the music rich and pow-erful while still holding true to their acoustic style.

“It’s as indie rock as we could make it sound while still defi-nitely being an acoustic band as we’ve always been,” she said.

The group picked up a new bass player in January of this year, Guigueno, who’s from

Mayne Island. Beaton said Guigueno was living in Toronto when they met her at the Folk-West Festival in Victoria a cou-

ple years ago.They heard she left her band

recently and they needed a bass player, so it was a perfect match.

Guitarist Arcara described her as a strong, dynamic bass player and a really strong singer.

Exiting things are on the hori-zon at the McMillan Art Centre, now better known as the MAC, as its centennial celebrations kick into high gear.

The old McMillan school build-ing, which has been in the heart of Parksville for 100 years, is starting to show her age but a restoration program is underway to give the old building a face lift.

A $100,000 grant from a Job Cre-ation Partnership is helping pay for the work. MAC Board President Chris Raines said once the reno-vations are completed the build-ing will be beautiful on the inside

and out. It’s expected the work will take a few months to complete. In the meantime, several events are scheduled at the MAC throughout the month of June to celebrate the MAC’s 100th birthday.

A Ragtime/Dixieland concert featuring Bill Cave and his band will take place June 7 at 7 p.m. An alumni tea is schedule for June 12 and reservations must be made for the event. There is a Blues Cabaret concert June 14 and a Centennial Family Fun Day happens June 15. On June 21 there will be a special Centen-nial MACoustic folk night, and on June 28 there is a Swing to Rock & Roll concert.

Event helps raise money to send less fortunate children to campBRENDA GOUGHNEWS Contributor

Coffee lovers have every excuse to indulge in their favourite cup of joe on Wednesday, June 5 as Tim Hortons once again hosts Camp Day.

The annual event will help raise money to send less fortunate kids in the community on a camping adven-ture of a lifetime.

On Camp Day, every penny from coffee sales during the 24 hour period, as well as money raised through spe-cial events and activities is donated to the Tim Horton Children’s Founda-tion.

Last year’s event raised more than $11 million chain-wide and more than $6,000 was generated at the Parksville location.

Since 1974, more than 185,000 chil-dren have benefited from a Founda-tion camp experience and this year more than 16,000 kids will attend one of the six Foundation camps.

Locally, two children from School District 69 went to the Kananaskis camp in Alberta last year at no cost to their families.

Jean Forrest, general manager of the Parksville Tim Hortons, said two more kids will go this year and she knows from first-hand experience how great the Kananaskis camp is.

“I went to the camp on the Mother’s Day long weekend in May. It was awe-some,” she revealed.

Forrest was part of a work bee of Tim Hortons employees who help clean up and prepare the camps for their summer campers who get to ex-perience a once-in a-lifetime camping experience.

She admitted that although she

worked hard sprucing up the camp it was a labour of love.

“We did jobs like painting and cut-ting wood. I had callouses on my hands afterwards but it was nice to see the camp and how well run it is,” she agreed.

Forrest who brought her 11-year-old grandson with her, said next year they hope to bring more of their staff to the camp for clean up day.

The Tim Horton Children’s Foun-dation was established in 1974 by Ron Joyce, Co-Founder of the Tim Hortons chain, to honour Tim Hor-ton’s love for children and his de-sire to help those less fortunate. The Foundation is a non-profit, charita-ble organization committed to pro-viding a fun-filled camp environ-ment for children from economically disadvantaged homes.

BRENDA GOUGHNEWS Contributor

An artistic collaboration be-tween glass crafter Christopher Smith and metal sculptor Dave Kasprick is on display until June 8 in the Brown Gallery at The Old School House (TOSH) in Qualicum Beach.

The artists who both have stu-dios in Nanoose Bay figured their art pieces would fit well together so the pair teamed up and creat-ed an incredible sculpture that highlights west coast sea life, ele-ments both of them like to incor-porate into their work .

Kasprick said the piece which

includes his metal kelp and oth-er elements and Smith’s glass sockeye is definitely unique and working with Smith on it was a great experience.

“Chris Smith approached me with his sockeye salmon he wanted to do and at first it start-ed off with just eel grass hold-

ing them up but he left it in my hands … so we came up with the eel grass, the Dungeness crab and then the whimsical bull kelp,” Kasprick explained.

Kasprick agreed it was a fun project to put together.

“Chris was awesome to work with and the pieces just came

together. it was a good experi-ence for me and it ended up be-ing a pretty wild looking piece,” he admitted.

Kasprick said it would be cool to collaborate again with Smith who he said is always experi-menting with glass.

Following the walk at 2:30 p.m. there will be entertainment and refreshments on the grounds of the retirement complex.

Elvis Impersonator Flashback Freddy will be rocking the hits of the 50s and 60s and anyone who show up in their retro attire can enter to win a fabulous wellness gift basket.

The Gardens offers several lifestyle options

including independent living rental suites, condominiums for ownership, funded as-sisted living, complex care, funded as well as private pay which offers respite and palliative care.

There is no shortage of fun things to do at the facility, which offers a host of services and activities for its residents and their families.Marketing Coordinator Julie Chambers said the Walk ‘n’ roll event is one way they bring their residents and other members of the communi-ty together.

Chambers said the event has attracted a lot of people from around the community as well as the residents.

“Everyone loves the event. It is well attend-ed. It is a way to promote healthy living and community spirit,” she said.

Residents of The Gardens in Qualicum Beach are fortunate when it comes to eating lunch and dinner in the elegant central dining room. The seasonal menu choices are mouth watering and the Chef’s Showcase Dinner May 30, which featured Filet Wellington with brandy peppercorn sauce, was as delicious as it looks here in the kitchen with Executive Chef Norman Mueller.

Blacksmith artist Dave Kasprick, right, likes to create sea creatures and kelp out of metal and glass crafter Christopher Smith enjoys creating glass fish so the two teamed up to create this masterpiece now on display at TOSH.

“I like that he goes in different directions. That is what I want to do … keep on changing.”

Kasprick also likes to learn from other ar-tisans and he is hoping some of his forging friends will be on hand during his upcoming open house June 8 and 9 to show off their black-smithing techniques.

“It will be a demo weekend. People can ask questions and see how the forge works,” he ad-vised.

It will also be a fundraiser for the Nanoose Bay food bank. Each month, the Nanoose Bay Community Cupboard provides a week’s

worth of food for up to 100 local residents and Kasprick agreed supplies are needed through-out the year.

“I am sure the food bank needs help and hopefully I can help them out a little bit right now.”

Kasprick will be donating 10 per cent of his open house sales to the Community Cupboard.

The forge will be fired up June 8 and 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2155 Spur Place in Nanoose Bay.

Some gardens are a work of art. Some gar-dens are captured in works of art and some very few are works of art that are also captured on canvass as art.

That’s what Terri Bowen and her team in Deep Bay are planning when they present what they are calling their G-art-den Tour on June 23.

The event will feature 12 spectacular gardens in the Bowser area, each with as many as five art-ists painting the beauty of what they see there.

Bowen said this is the third time the event has been held in the area.

“We wanted to hold it every other year, but it didn’t work,” she said, “so we decided to go every three years and the last one was in 2010.”

The self-guided tours will kick off at 10 a.m. and continue to 4 p.m., with a strawberry tea from 2-5 p.m. and an art auction at the Light-house Community Hall, with the paintings cre-ated in the gardens on the auction block.

“You start your tour when you get your pass-port and that shows all of the directions and the places to go.

There are several places to pick up $15 tick-ets for the tour, including the Salish Sea Market or Stream side Nursery, the Raintree Gallery, Kendor in Qualicum Beach or Buckerfields in Parksville.

Volunteers are still needed for this event. Anyone who would like to get involved should call Patricia at 250-927-2770.

The United Way of Central and Northern Van-couver Island (UWCNVI) announced this week that employees at TD branches from the Central and North Island contributed $17,861 through their employee giving program as well as a $6,000 corporate donation from TD to the Change Starts Here campaign.

The campaign raised over $700,000 in the Cen-tral Island to support 26 life-changing programs in our community.

“TD employees and staff know that their do-nation makes a real difference in local people’s lives,” said Signy Madden, UWCNVI executive director. “Their donations go directly to empow-ering kids to succeed through mentorship, en-suring vulnerable seniors get a hot lunch daily or supporting people with mental illness as they reintegrate back into society. A big thank you to the branches for getting on-board with United Way and supporting a positive investment in their community.”

Oceanside branch managers Leah Page from Qualicum Beach and Jim Kupiak from Parksville are all proud supporters of United Way and ex-cited to be on-board again this year for the 2013 fundraising campaign.

Donations to the United Way support local charities including Oceanside Hospice Society, Errington Therapeutic Riding Association and the District 69 of Society of Organized Services (SOS).

Employee giving programs, donations and vol-unteers are sought throughout the year. Contact UWCNVI at 250-729-7400 or [email protected] or visit www.uwcnvi.ca to learn more.

Local TD branch contributes to Change

Quality Foods, which began in Qual-icum Beach as Qualicum Foods in 1982, says it will soon offer their award-win-ning grocery shopping experience to the Langford area beginning May 2014.

The company’s three founding part-ners, John Briuolo, Ken Schley and Noel Hayward believe the time is right for a move to Victoria. “We’re very excited to offer our unique brand to the residents of Langford and the surrounding com-munities,” states Hayward.

Said Director of Operations Ken Schley: “We have been working very hard for several years to create a pres-ence south of the Malahat, so this is very exciting to be able to finally be involved with these communities as a good neighbour, reliable employer and exceptional grocer.”

Although transformation of an exist-ing building on the Langford Parkway has yet to begin, Hayward says the re-cruiting process begins this week.

“It’s not too early to get the right peo-ple lined up with the right duties,” he remarks. “We want everyone to be in top form once the store opens, and that requires a lot of preparation and plan-ning.”

“We offer a unique shopping experi-ence, so the sooner the better to ensure our new people absorb the culture of exceptional service and sense of com-munity.”

“The store will have a mix of local tal-

ent and imports from other QF stores,” said Briuolo, who estimates between 75 and 100 spots will be filled initially, made up primarily of front-line cus-tomer service people to senior manage-ment.

“We will be looking at all positions and all departments right away. It’s wide open right now.”

The United Way of Central and Northern Van-couver Island (UWCNVI) announced this week that employees at TD branches from the Central and North Island contributed $17,861 through their employee giving program as well as a $6,000 corporate donation from TD to the Change Starts Here campaign.

The campaign raised over $700,000 in the Cen-tral Island to support 26 life-changing programs in our community.

“TD employees and staff know that their do-nation makes a real difference in local people’s lives,” said Signy Madden, UWCNVI executive director. “Their donations go directly to empow-ering kids to succeed through mentorship, en-suring vulnerable seniors get a hot lunch daily or supporting people with mental illness as they reintegrate back into society. A big thank you to the branches for getting on-board with United Way and supporting a positive investment in their community.”

Oceanside branch managers Leah Page from Qualicum Beach and Jim Kupiak from Parksville are all proud supporters of United Way and ex-cited to be on-board again this year for the 2013 fundraising campaign.

Donations to the United Way support local charities including Oceanside Hospice Society, Errington Therapeutic Riding Association and the District 69 of Society of Organized Services (SOS).

Employee giving programs, donations and vol-unteers are sought throughout the year. Contact UWCNVI at 250-729-7400 or [email protected] or visit www.uwcnvi.ca to learn more.

Quality Foods, which began in Qual-icum Beach as Qualicum Foods in 1982, says it will soon offer their award-win-ning grocery shopping experience to the Langford area beginning May 2014.

The company’s three founding part-ners, John Briuolo, Ken Schley and Noel Hayward believe the time is right for a move to Victoria. “We’re very excited to offer our unique brand to the residents of Langford and the surrounding com-munities,” states Hayward.

Said Director of Operations Ken Schley: “We have been working very hard for several years to create a pres-ence south of the Malahat, so this is very exciting to be able to finally be involved with these communities as a good neighbour, reliable employer and exceptional grocer.”

Although transformation of an exist-ing building on the Langford Parkway has yet to begin, Hayward says the re-cruiting process begins this week.

“It’s not too early to get the right peo-ple lined up with the right duties,” he remarks. “We want everyone to be in top form once the store opens, and that requires a lot of preparation and plan-ning.”

“We offer a unique shopping experi-ence, so the sooner the better to ensure our new people absorb the culture of exceptional service and sense of com-munity.”

“The store will have a mix of local tal-

ent and imports from other QF stores,” said Briuolo, who estimates between 75 and 100 spots will be filled initially, made up primarily of front-line cus-tomer service people to senior manage-ment.

“We will be looking at all positions and all departments right away. It’s wide open right now.”

PES’ Spring Carnival successElementary school has biggest crowd in event’s 20-year history LISSA [email protected]

Friday evening saw the most successful Spring Carnival Parks-ville Elementary School has ever held in the event’s 20-plus year his-tory.

Susie Cross, who does communications with the PES Parent Advisory Council, said it was the highest turnout yet, but no final numbers have been released.

Parents and children lined up to buy tickets for the games, treats and events, like the popu-lar bouncy slide, Angry Birds sling shot game, the dunk tank, fishing for prizes, foam-roll-er fighting, pony rides, cotton candy, cake walk and more.

While most of the events were outside, in-side also had it’s share of excitment, including bidding on over 200 si-lent auction items that were generously donat-ed by local community businesses.

Check out more pho-tos on The NEWS’ face-book page: www.face-book.com/PQBNews.

A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper

route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves.

They discover a new sense of confidence, power and

control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. After school Tuesday and Thursday. And even better... there are no collections required.

JAMES CL [email protected]

Ballenas Secondary School’s senior girls soccer team won their final game of the season to finish seventh in the province out of 16 teams.

In action on the pitches of Comox last week for the 16-team B.C. School Sports AA Sr. Girls championships, the Whalers, a young team made up primarily of Grade 10 and 11s, opened the tournament Thursday morning with a 3-1 loss to the Bombers from Nelson’s L.V. Rogers. LV led 1-0 at the half, Ballenas’ Sophie Palmer scored with about 20 minutes left to tie it up 1-1, and the Bomb-ers struck for two goals in the final 15.

In game two that afternoon BSS duelled the Abbots-ford Traditional Secondary School Titans to a 1-1 draw.

BSS opened the scoring midway through the first half when Emily Robertson slotted one home off a corner kick in close.

Abbotsford tied it up about 10 minutes into the sec-ond half which is how it stood.

Back at it Friday morning for their final pool game against the Okanagan champions Princess Margaret Mustangs from Penticton, the Whalers pulled off their biggest win of the season in a 1-0 upset.

Palmer scored what would hold up to be the winner at the 20 minute mark when she steamed in went wide around the goalie and tucked it in left footed just as the defender was trying to clear it off the line.

From there, Ballenas’ defence dug in, and keeper Ol-ivia Collins was full value for the shutout.

“Huge win,” confirmed Whalers’ head coach Larry Stefanek, who had help this season from assistant coach Daryl Britz. “Very strong game. We had to leave every-thing on the line that game — we needed the win to fin-ish second in our group B or we would drop to the lower half of the bracket.”

Only two points separated the top three teams in Pool B.

The Whalers were tied for second place with Abbots-ford, so the two teams had to square off in a five-kick penalty shoot out for placing heading into the playoff crossover.

The shootout went to extra rounds, and Ballenas won it in seven.

That afternoon in their playoff game against the Lam-brick Park Lions, who finished second in Pool A, the Li-

ons won 1-0 off a first off a first half goal.“That was a good game. It was pretty even,” said Ste-

fanek, adding “we had a couple chances. We left it all out there in the morning game though so you can imag-ine the legs (were tired).”

Against Little Flower Academy Saturday morning in the seventh/eight game, the two teams played to score-less tie through regulation, and Ballenas won the game 5-4 in shootout.

“It’s always nice to win the last game of the year, for sure,” confirmed Stefanek, pointing out the Whalers were unbeaten in five penalty shootouts this year.

In the end, the Whalers finished seventh out of a field of the top 16 teams in the province.

The Archbishop Carney Stars from PoCo beat the Burnsview Griffins from Delta 2-1 in the gold medal game, and the NDSS Islanders, who the Whalers beat

three times this year, won bronze with a decisive 4-0 win over LV Rogers.

All four Island teams in the mix finished in the top seven.

“The story of this tournament is that seeding really didn’t mean much,” said Stefanek. “It was very, very even — there was a lot of parity which is great.”

Robertson, the teams leading scorer, was named to the Commissioners 16 as the Whalers’ MVP

“She scored a lot of big goals for us this year,” Stefanek said of his fleet-footed Grade 10 striker.

The longtime local teacher/soccer coach also had props for the strong play this season of Palmer, “a tire-less worker,” and for his defence “which played real-ly well,” pointing to Tianna Squire, Olivia Friesan and Bronwen Kirk.

A reminder to any hockey fans needing a fix that the Oceanside Generals Jr. Hock-ey Club’s annual spring prospects camp goes Saturday at ‘the Place.

This camp, says Oceanside Generals Jr. Hockey Club returning president/gov-ernor Sylvain Giroux “will allow the Gen-erals to identify player abilities and deter-mine future potential to be an Oceanside General. Selected players from this camp will be invited to attend our main training camp in August.”

Check-in goes Friday from 4-5 p.m. at

Oceanside Place, and the players will be on the ice Saturday morning and again in the afternoon.

This is head coach and GM Brent De-merais’ second season with the team, but his first overseeing the selection process.

“For sure,” Demerais answered quick-ly when asked if he’s looking forward to overseeing his first prospects camp with the Gens — he joined the team after the main camp last season.

“It’s almost like starting fresh,” he sur-mised. “Just doing our own recruiting; finding players that we want to have and

putting our own stamp on (the team).”Rob Gaudreault is back for his second

season as assistant coach, and Demerais said “they’ll be a bunch of the guys from last year skating with us on Saturday; may-be 11-12 of them.”

A number of BCHL teams will also be represented at the camp. “I think they’ll be enough for about four teams, maybe 60 players.”

And while it’s still early in the pro-cess, Demerais and Gaudreault, who have coached together for years in Port Alberni, have been busy in the off season.

“Totally,” said Demerais. “We’ve been to a few Jr. A camps, and last weekend me and Robby were asked to work the bench-es for the Nanaimo Clippers’ training camp, just to keep close ties with them, with (head coach) Mike Vandekamp.”

Good news for the Generals is the pair have been invited back to the Clippers’ main camp.

“It’s really good,” Demerais said of the working relationship the two clubs have formed, adding the camps are a great place to recruit players.

Kondors: B.C. champsKSS beats Shawnigan Lake by eight in a delugeJAMES CL [email protected]

Kwalikum Secondary School’s golf team can add provincial champions to their resume, and the gym gets another banner.

In the mix at the 14-team B.C. School Sports AA Provincial Championships, played out in wet conditions at Arbutus Ridge Golf & Country Club May 27-28 in Cobble Hill, the Kondors were sitting first with a one-stroke lead after day one, and went on to win the tournament with a two-round team total of 624 — eight strokes up on the second place Shawnigan Lake Stags, and 15 strokes ahead of the third place St. Thomas More Knights who went into the tourney as three-time defending champions.

According to KSS coach Butch Gayton, con-ditions were very wet, which made for a soggy course.

“It’s very hard to make solid contact with the ball when it’s like that — there’s mud all over the ball they’re partially sunk (in the fairways).”

The wind was up on day one, and the rain he said, “was continuous — it was a deluge both days,” he said, explaining “’ya got slippery clubs, you’re wearing too many clothes, it was just real-ly tough conditions.”

The stage was set on day one when the Kon-dors, comprised of senior Scott Austin, Grade 11’s Santiago Bouyra and Cole Morrison, and Grade 9’s Anthony Trozzo and Blair Stewart, fin-ished one point up on Shawnigan Lake at 306-307, while the rest of the field, including the Knights, from Burnaby, “all basically shot them-

selves in the foot and out of contention.“Knowing that were only competing against

Shawnigan Lake, it was a very stressful situa-tion,” said Gayton.

Not to worry though, the Kondors won three of their five matches against the Stags, clearing the way for the provincial title.

“The difference between us and everyone else is we had five solid scores — everybody else had three solid scores and then they had to count a very big number for their fourth,” said Gayton.

When Kwalikum’s top player, Bouyra, teed off on the final hole, his team was up by nine strokes “but remember, he doesn’t know that, and that’s the key.” said Gayton, who got help coaching this year from assistant Richard Goldney.

“The guys were jumping and down, they were definitely happy,” he said when asked about the reaction from his team after they learned they’d won the title.

KSS finished the season having won six of the eight tournaments they entered,m including the Island finals and the B.C.’s.

Team captain Scotty Austin, in his final tourna-ment of the year, “was the difference maker for us” said Gayton as he blasted his counterpart from Shawnigan Lake by nine strokes “which gave us a nine stroke lead coming into our two best golfers.”

“Everything in the world is better now,” Gay-ton said when asked how it feels to be provin-cial champs. “It’s a huge monkey off the back — actually it’s a large ape,” he chuckled, ex-plaining it adds to the provincial banner they won 25 years ago.

“That’s where you find last cuts for the Jr. A, and (the Clip-pers) like to keep them close to Nanaimo in case of injuries to their club, so we might be able to get a few of them.

“I think we’ll be a little bit younger and we’ll have a lot more speed than we did last year,” the easy going but dedi-cated bench boss surmised when asked for some insight into the team Oceanside will be icing this season. “I think it’ll be a harder working team than last year, and that’s the big thing

with me. I don’t care about the score — win lose or draw I want to see effort and I think a lot of these younger guys that have the skill set and an opportunity to move up, those are the kind of guys that are going to work really hard.”

There will be about 10 goalies in the mix Saturday. Admis-sion is free, and spectators are welcome.

The Generals finished the 2012/2013 VIJHL regular season seventh in the nine-team league at 20-25-2 and were swept in the first round of the playoffs by Comox Valley.
