PARKSVILLE CURLING CLUB

CANDACE [email protected]

� e regional district has committed $15,000 to studying the current state of the Parksville Curling Club.

� is comes at a time when the club is con-sidering its future after losing its 100 per cent tax-exempt status from the City of Parksville. And not all Regional District of Nanaimo direc-tors were in favour of allocating the study mon-ey during their meeting last week.

� e money comes from the Corporate Cli-mate Action Fund and the study will con� rm the building’s current level of performance, in-tegrity and life expectancy of it’s structures and major operating systems.

“� is $15,000 is a good idea,” said Parksville’s board member, Coun. Marc Lefebvre. “I really think it’s a good idea to look at the building.”

Lefebvre explained the curling club has been left in a di� cult position after the city changed the criteria for its permissive taxation program which used to o� er certain organizations — in-cluding the curling club — a 100 per cent tax break. Under the new criteria, the Parksville Curling Club only receives a 50 per cent tax ex-emption.

But not all directors said they agree commit-ting more money to the organization is the best idea.

“� e curling club was given the facility to run and operate on the assumption it wouldn’t cost the RDN taxpayer any money,” said direc-tor Bill Veenhof, who represents Deep Bay and Bowser. “And now we’re talking about dedicat-ing $15,000 to the facility — although it’s grant money (not taxpayer money) I get that — but it’s still money that can be used for other things for the taxpayer.”

BEAR DESTROYED IN PARKSVILLE

Taste of garbage spelled deathCANDACE [email protected]

A male adult bear was destroyed June 23 in Parksville after getting into a north end business’ garbage, ac-cording to conversation o� cer Stuart Bates.

“It (the bear) became accustomed to people,” said Bates. “I personally saw him twice myself within 20 yards.”

Bates said conservation o� cers set up a trap and six days later caught the bear. “� is serves as a good reminder for residents to secure their garbage,”

he said, noting the business who orig-inally attracted the bear has since se-cured its garbage in a compound.

Bates said people should keep their garbage inside a shed or garage until the day it is scheduled to be picked up.

CANADA DAY EVENTS

End the day with a bangNo shortage of food, fun and entertainment today in our region

It’s one of the biggest July 1 celebrations on the Island. Canada Day in Parksville starts with pancakes and ends with fireworks.

The Shriners Pancake Breakfast kicks things off from 7:30 a.m.-11 a.m. in the Coastal Com-munity Credit Union parking lot at 140 Alberni Highway. The festivities kick up a notch with the big parade starting at 10 a.m. traveling down the Island Highway from Shelly Road to Craig Street downtown, finishing at the Parks-ville Community Centre.

Parksville Rotary PM organizers have added Rotary wrist bands for a suggested $5 donation which will give kids access to a Bounce-a-Rama fun zone, part of the packed lineup of enter-tainment and food in Community Park.

The Thrifty Foods Fireworks Spectacular will start at dusk. Like previous years, there will be road closures on Highway 19A and downtown

for the parade. Community Park will be closed to traffic all day, so look for other forms of travel in the area if you can.

There are also Canada Day events in other communities in the region.

The national birthday will be celebrated at the Bowser Legion from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fes-tivities include all the traditional family activities with live musical entertainment, a Ladies Auxilia-ry barbecue, kids’ activities including face paint-ing, cotton candy, hay rides by tractor, a fishing game and other games from noon to 2 p.m.

The Corcan-Meadowood Resident’s Associa-tion is hosting a party starting at 6 p.m. in Meado-wood Community Park, across from the fire hall.

In Qualicum Beach, people will assemble at The Old School House for a parade at 11:30 a.m. for the march down Memorial Avenue to the Legion at 180 Veterans Way. The ceremony officially kicks off there at noon followed by free entertainment until 4 p.m.

Special guests include Mayor Chris Burger, Legion dignitaries and Jean Van Holst, the wife of the church’s founding pastor.

“Our congregation may be small but we are loving and caring of all who enter our doors — for worship, for fellowship, for meals,” said a news release from the group.

ACCESSIBILITY

New swing handles wheelchairsA first for B.C. arrives in Parksville Community Park

The city just got a little more accessible.

The first wheelchair ac-cessible swing in Parksville was installed in June and of-ficially opened to the public last week — it sits at Parks-ville Beach and according to Parksville Lions president Duane Round kids are “lined up” for the new attraction.

Round explained the swing was purchased and installed by the Parksville Li-ons, the community organi-zation responsible for main-taining most of the park’s equipment.

He said the idea came after seeing a picture of a wheelchair accessible swing on Facebook a few years ago.

“I saw that picture just as we were planning the outdoor gym (at Parksville Beach),” said Round. “We’re really trying to make the playground more accessible to people in wheelchairs.”

Round said the swing cost $5,000 and was purchased

from St. Louis, Missouri. He said he believes Parksville’s is the first in British Columbia.

Round said he recently received an e-mail from a mother whose daughter is in a wheelchair saying: “You

have brought (a smile) to my daughter Jesi’s face. Her first time being on a swing. She will be nine in August. Love you guys. You have done so much.” He said receiving that e-mail was “touching.”

Round said the Parksville Lions are planning more im-provements to the park this fall and will continue mak-ing the park more wheel-chair accessible.

SALUTING LONG-SERVING EMPLOYEES: Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort acknowledged its long-service staff last week with fun and a delicious dinner. The resort has 79 long-service members (more than five years). “We have a large staff of over 250 wonderful people,” said general manager Paul Drummond, “and some 33 per cent of our team mem-bers providing more than five years service to our guests.” Two members celebrated 23 years of service this past April.

Alders make their own fertilizerAlders, often considered

to be weed trees due to their rapid growth along road edges and other disturbed sites, do something that none of our other trees do. They make their own fertil-izer—and for others.

Alders are considered “pioneer plants” as they can withstand poor soils and help prepare the way for the coniferous forest to return. Although our native red alders only survive for 70 years, their fertilizer pro-duction nurtures the suc-ceeding conifers which will live for centuries. Once the evergreens grow tall they shade out the sun-loving alders.

The fertilizer production process in alders is called nitrogen fixation. It is the same process used by soil enriching legumes such as alfalfa, beans and clovers.

However, it is not the le-

gumes nor the alders that make the fertilizer. It is mi-croscopic bacteria “housed” in these plants’ roots that are able to capture nitro-gen from the air trapped in the soil. These nitrogen fix-ing bacteria do no harm to the roots but live in a beneficial symbiotic rela-tionship with their plant host called mutu-alism. (The next time you pull up a bean or other legume plant, you might want to look for the roundish little nodules along the roots that house these beneficial bacteria.)

Nitrogen is essential for building the proteins of all living things. Although ni-trogen makes up most of the atmosphere only a few

groups of bacteria are able to convert it to a useable form.

All life on earth depends on these unseen micro-or-ganisms. The bacteria deliv-

er their nitrogen compounds to the alder trees in exchange for nourishing sug-ars produced by the trees. In the autumn the al-ders shed their nutrient rich leaves to the forest floor. As the leaves decay

into the soil the nitrogen held within them becomes available to plants around the alders and to succeeding plant generations.

Have you ever noticed that alder leaves fall from the tree while they are still green? Alders have no au-tumn colours. Before leaf

fall, most deciduous trees extract nutrients from their old leaves, and store them for next spring’s growth. Fall colouration is one of the side effects of this nu-trient cycling operation. Nitrogen availability is a limiting factor for most plants, but the alder’s tiny partners supply it with an over abundance of this wealth.

Next time you drive past those trees along the Island Highway think about the ecosystem services they are supplying to a future forest, and about the unseen nitro-gen fixing bacteria that run the world.

three reports of a single bear getting into chick-en coops in the Bowser region.

Shortly thereafter Bates said a bear in the area was tranquilized, however, officers later received reports leading them to believe the tranquilized bear was the mother of three cubs found nearby. Bates said he doesn’t believe this was the same bear getting into chicken coops and the mother bear was later released to gather her cubs.

“We would only shoot a mother bear with

cubs in dire circumstances,” said Bates, adding the single bear getting into chicken coops was not located but COs have received no further re-ports.

“We destroy bears not on their presence but on their behaviour,” Bates explained. “If they (bears) become conditioned (to humans), if they start getting into food, seed or garbage; if they attack livestock of become human-habit-uated meaning they lose their fear of people.”

To report a conflict with wildlife that threat-ens public safety call 1-877-952-7277.

Director George Holme, who represents Nanoose Bay, said the curling club is in “bad shape” financially.

“I’ve been out of there since 2005 and I’m still getting calls asking for help,” said Holme. “If the city won’t give them a tax exemption then so be it — they’ll have to find the money somewhere — but if we’re going to give them a double whammy we might as well take this $15,000 and give it to a demolition company.”

RDN general manager of recreation and parks Tom Osborne said the Parksville Curling Club is an RDN-owned building.

“Should the curling club not become opera-ble be it in 10 or 20 years it is still a facility owned

by the regional district and it will come back to the regional district,” said Osborne, adding the RDN will have to decide what to do with the building if the curling club ceases to exist.

According to Parksville Curling Club facili-ties director Spish Legowski, the club has been in its current location at Parksville Beach for 11 years in a building that is 40 years old.

Legowski said it is primarily used during curling season which runs from August to April annually.

In the off season, he said the building is rent-ed out to other organizations.

Legowski said the curling club has more than 300 members.

Garage sale July 12,party on July 27AUREN [email protected]

The Dashwood Volunteer Fire Department is turning 30 this month and everyone is in-vited to the party.

The department will host an open house complete with displays, demonstrations and refreshments at their main Hobbs Road hall Sunday, July 27 from 1 p.m.-3 p.m.

Board member and the only original fire fighter still active with the department said it was a big step when they es-tablished the department with a referendum in 1984.

They were the last area on this side of the Island south of Campbell River to get fire protection. “Before that if your house caught fire, it burnt down,” he said, adding that there was in fact a fatal fire be-tween the referendum and the opening of the department to really drive the point home.

Soon after the department was up and running under chief Vern Boley, who he said is still around, they got called to a fire that had fully engulfed a shop-outbuilding, but they were able to save the main house.

For the first 14 months they operated with a used tank-

er truck and a front mounted pumper truck out of a rented warehouse while they built the current Hobbs Road hall, and Alberg said watching the de-partment expand, take on first responder calls and become more professional has been the most rewarding part of his time with them.

“At the beginning nobody had any training,” he said, but they built up quickly and have since had five of their volunteer members go on to become full time professional members at bigger city fire de-partments.

For their original 15 mem-bers, they now have around 40 and are always looking for more.

“We’re always eager to re-cruit,” he said adding that

there is a lot of exciting new things going on with training and co-operation with neigh-bouring departments.

Anyone interested in join-ing or helping the volunteer hall should contact chief Nick Acciavatti at 250-752-5434, [email protected], or stop by the hall.

The department is also holding a giant garage sale Saturday, July 12 as a gener-al fundraiser, including a car wash and scrap metal collec-tion, not including electronics.

They are looking for do-nations of any sellable goods people would like to get rid of to help raise money for the fire hall. Items should be dropped off at the hall at 230 Hobbs Road between 6-7 Thursdays.

Organizing committee wants to top it next yearAUREN [email protected]

The Vancouver Island International Tribute Festival in Parksville May 23-25 was a bigger success than anyone dared hope, according to organizers.

The fun weekend event, which brought in tribute artists from Elvis to The Judds, was also a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.

The organizing committee said they thought they were being optimistic, hop-ing to clear a few hundred dollars prof-it after all the expenses of the weekend, held at the Parksville Community and

Conference Centre.Last week they presented a cheque for

$5,400 to shocked cancer society repre-sentative Debi Dempsey, who said any amount was a great gift and this would go a long way to helping with their numer-ous programs.

“Thank you to all the volunteers, the Tribute Artists, all our amazingly gener-ous sponsors, including the City of Parks-ville and to the audiences who came and contributed by their ticket purchases, the concession purchases, the 50-50 draws — it all went to cancer, and it will all make a difference,” said committee member Sha-ron Schienbein. Meeting to present the cheque, the organizing committee was already talking about topping it next year.

Mike Defazio is pulling into his auto-body shop in Saint John, N.B. when KA-BAM! — he hits a pothole the size of Mike Duffy’s belly im-print and blows a tire.

“Enough is enough” says Defazio. He pro-ceeds to patch the pothole. “I spent three and a half hours,” he said, “I filled numerous pot-holes. Some of them were 12 inches wide, a foot deep and two feet long.” Big mistake.

Mister Defazio received a visit from Saint John officials who told him he’d vi-olated a city bylaw. They said a city works crew would undo the work and send him a bill.

Mister Defazio said various un-printable things, but, faced with legal action he softened and agreed to undo his own work.

“I told him everything, all the rocks, all the potholes, could go back to the way it was, and he said ‘That’s what we want.’”

So Mister Defazio hired a lo-cal contractor and, $450 later, drivers can once again blow a tire pulling into his auto-body shop.

I hate to come on like some cracker-barrel philosopher, but we seem to have a problem with simple generosity these days. There was a time when we all just kind of looked out for one anoth-er. Cut the old fella’s grass next door, shoveled out the driveway for the widow woman on the corner, did some shopping for the veteran with arthritis.

Now we hesitate because there are ‘liability issues’ to consider. Sometimes we don’t just hes-itate. We call the cops.

Richard Wright in Halifax was going around handing out $100 bills to total strangers. The Mounties shipped him off to a mental-health fa-

cility for ‘a wellness check’.But what if there was nothing wrong with

Wright? What if he was perfectly healthy, utter-ly sane — and just feeling generous? Turns out that was the case — as the Mounties would have learned had they called his family before they shipped him off to the Funny Farm.

His daughter Chelsea told a reporter that her dad “worked hard for his money, had no men-tal-health issues and simply wants to help peo-

ple.” A close friend described Wright as “a generous individual wrapped up in acts of kindness.”

Acts of kindness. What a subversive notion. Which brings us to the other side of the country — to a man named Brice Royer. Two years ago he dis-covered he had stomach cancer. He wondered if it was caused by his high-pressure life. So he moved from Vancouver to bucolic Deep Cove.

He started eating a healthy diet, listening to the trees. And he dis-

covered a concept called Pay It Forward. Simply put, people give and receive, expecting nothing in return. They give everything — services, in-struction, accommodation — even washing ma-chines. The idea is that money transactions sep-arate people, whereas giving things for nothing creates trust and forges real communities.

Recently somebody gave Royer a mini-van. The giver thought it would help teach the concept of generosity to his six-year-old son.

Potholes in Saint John, hundred-dollar bills in Halifax, a minivan in Deep Cove. Two steps back, but one step forward.

Overnight destructionVANDALISM

AUREN [email protected]

The giant sign at the Parks-ville Salvation Army Thrift Shop asking that donations only to be dropped off when they’re open, is apparently not clear enough.

Manager Dave Burns said they have problems with peo-ple dropping stuff off after hours, which is then often damaged by weather, stolen, or even worse, vandalized.

He explained that despite checking the area frequent-ly, even when they’re closed, either in person or through a camera he can access from home, large piles of stuff are frequently left, and often it’s just straight garbage.

Other times people believe they’re doing a good thing, leaving perfectly sellable stuff, he said, which then gets de-stroyed, which has happened weekly for the year and a half he’s been there.

“That’s all stuff that then has to go directly to the dump, cost-ing us an hour of our time, plus that’s stuff we can’t sell.”

He pointed out that the point of the thrift shop is to

raise money for Salvation Army programs like the food bank, so people are basically stealing from the poor when they dam-age stuff, “that’s money that should be going back to the community.”

He estimated they lost $250-$300 worth of items Sunday

night, pointing to pictures of destroyed furniture and box-loads of goods strewn about.

Burns said he hopes it’s mostly a matter of educat-ing people about the damage they’re doing and he calls on the community to keep donat-ing — during business hours.

What’s next for Qualicum Beach now

that the regional district board has de-cided — well, six out of 16 directors anyway — the town must go through a longer process for changing its growth

containment boundary?Nothing much changes, really, and that may be the point.A town that has had its elementary school close and has

watched its population decline is not what any sane per-son would call healthy. A majority of the current council thought this boundary change would encourage growth. We’re not sure that’s true — economics dictate these things more than anything else — but we get the sense this council majority feels it needs to try something, anything, to breathe life into what some indicators (school closure, population decrease) show is a declining town.

Our opposition to what the RDN board did last week has nothing to do with any speci� c development. We still believe the duly elected council of the day in a community should have say over development issues in its municipal-ity, whether that’s Qualicum Beach, Parksville or anywhere else. We believe in local control, period. � e people of Qualicum Beach did not elect Nanaimo Mayor John Rut-tan and empower him to make Qualicum Beach land-use decisions.

Regardless, it’s time to look forward. � ose who wanted to stop the boundary change often cited the town’s o� cial community plan. More speci� cally, they were saying any big change like this should come as part of an OCP review.

Fair enough. However, as we wrote during Parksville’s OCP review process, we believe these should be living, breathing documents, not Bible-like decrees that can only be changed — and must be followed to the letter in the meantime — every � ve or 10 years. But it seems to us these same people who believe the OCP is akin to Moses’ stone tablets are cherry-picking.

Qualicum Beach’s current OCP talks about careful-ly-managed growth. It does not say “no growth” or “care-fully-managed decline.” � ose who seem to be against any moves to encourage growth need to explain, with speci� cs and without empty references to already-failing strategies, how this community will thrive and survive if the popula-tion-decline trends continue. We only hear “no” from this camp, which provides a less-than-inspiring outlook for the future of this unique, beautiful town.

QB GROWTH FIASCOSo current Qualicum Beach town coun-

cillor Dave Willie sees the people opposed to the clear abuse of process in the growth containment boundary fiasco as a special interest group (The NEWS, June 26).

From my perspective, I would suggest that Willie’s pals at Pheasant Glen are far more deserving of that designation.

Congratulations to the many friends of democracy who jumped into the breach on this file. You won this battle, but the war isn’t over yet. Stay vigilant.

TALK TO A TEACHERI have been reading with interest recent

letters published in The NEWS regarding the ongoing teachers’ strike action.

While I appreciate and respect the vary-ing opinions on who is to blame for this job action, I would like to remind students, parents and the letter writers just how we arrived at this impasse and of the tactics that this government has used to discred-it teachers rather than negotiating in good faith.

Two Supreme Court rulings have found this government’s actions unconstitutional and directed them to resolve class-size and composition at the bargaining table. The B.C. Liberal government has failed to com-ply with the courts.

Justice Griffin stated this grim analyses: “The court has concluded that the govern-ment did not negotiate in good faith with the union after the Bill 28 decision. One of the problems was that the government rep-resentatives were pre-occupied by another strategy. Their strategy was to put pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representa-

tives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union.”

Having walked and talked with our teach-ers from Ballenas Secondary School to KSS to Errington Elementary and French Creek school during this job action, I have heard firsthand the genuine concern for students, as well as, how working conditions and learning conditions have deteriorated un-der this government.

Please talk to a teacher before casting judgment.SCOTT FRASER, MLA ALBERNI-PACIFIC RIM

TRUDEAU’S HYPOCRISYIs there anybody left in the country that

takes Justin Trudeau seriously when he talks about an “open” nomination process with one breath, but in the next decrees a hard rule that all new MPs must uphold a woman’s right to choose abortion?

His stance is clearly unconstitutional, unconscionable and dangerous because it further erodes the right of independence to members of parliament.

Freedom of religion under section 2(a) of our Charter of Rights gives every Canadian the right to declare religious beliefs openly and without fear of hindrance or reprisal. Section 2(a) also guarantees freedom of conscience and since a decision whether or not to terminate a pregnancy is essentially a moral decision, Trudeau’s position is in violation of the very Charter he claims to defend.

The issue of abortion strikes very close to the heart of personal conscience. Trudeau’s edict goes dead against a long-held tradi-tion of respect in the party system for per-sonal conscience.

Trudeau’s radical statements and ac-

tions are beginning to pile up. He has cam-paigned to legalize marijuana and stated his “level of admiration” for China’s basic dictatorship.

Trudeau’s hypocrisy is clearly on display on the issue of open nominations and his claim to defend the charter. He appears to be much more of a radical than a serious contender for being prime minister of this country.

WI-FI NOT DANGEROUSIn virtually every house in this city, there

are installed devices with the singular pur-pose of emitting radiation. The device? The common light bulb.

Recently, many letters to the editor in The NEWS have been raising concerns about the risks posed by increased Wi-Fi radia-tion. This is absurd, considering Wi-Fi op-erates in the radio wave part of the electro-magnetic spectrum.

Certain kinds of radiation are harmful, this is true. However, they have much short-er wave lengths, clear on the other side of the spectrum. When people think of radia-tion causing harm, they’re thinking of ioniz-ing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation, such as radio waves or visible light, doesn’t pose the same risks.

There have been studies done, and not one person who claimed to be able to physi-cally tell when they’re in the presence of Wi-Fi or other radio waves have ever managed to demonstrate the ability in a controlled environment. Wi-Fi does not cause head-aches. Wi-Fi does not scare away the birds. Please consider reading up on an issue be-fore rallying against it.

BUSINESS PROFILE

Bright new digs forhistoric local business

RDN’s Joe Stanhope and Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek involved

Mayors from three Vancouver Is-land communities are joining the Island Coastal Economic Trust’s Board of Di-rectors, and the organization is thanking three others for their service.

Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne, Comox Mayor Paul Ives and Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway are the newly-elected members of the ICET Board of Directors. All are from the North Island Sunshine Coast Regional Advisory Com-mittee (NISCRAC), a group that includes mayors, regional district chairs and MLAs from the region.

Port McNeill Mayor Gerry Furney was re-elected to ICET’s board and Quali-cum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek will continue to serve as chair of the NISC-RAC and ex-officio Board member. ICET board chair, Mayor Phil Kent of Duncan, congratulated all on their elections.

“As committee and board members on the Trust, we represent our communities, but we also have a duty to invest in proj-ects and programs that benefit the entire region. I’d like to thank all of the newly elected board members for stepping for-ward to help guide this unique regional investment organization,” he said.

Kent thanked outgoing members Mayor Ted Lewis of Zeballos and Mayor John Henderson of Sechelt for their ser-vice and commitment to the ICET board. He also recognized the late Bev Parn-

ham, Mayor of Port Hardy.“We’re still shocked and saddened

by Bev’s sudden death, and on behalf of ICET, I’d like to acknowledge her passion and efforts to improve conditions for the entire region.”

In addition to the three newly-elected NISCRAC members, the Central South Island Regional Advisory Committee (CSIRAC) re-elected Mayor John Ruttan of Nanaimo, Mayor Phil Kent of Duncan, Mayor Rob Hutchins of Ladysmith, and Joe Stanhope of the Regional District of Nanaimo to the ICET Board. Gerry Giles of the Cowichan Valley Regional District will continue to serve as CSIRAC chair and ex-officio Board member.

Both regional advisory committees elect four board members for two year terms. The two regional advisory com-

mittee chairs sit on the board as ex-offi-cio members. The remaining five board members are appointed by the province for three-year terms.

The NISCRAC held elections on May 9 and the CSIRAC on June 13. The new board terms are effective July 15, 2014 to July 14, 2016.

The Island Coastal Economic Trust is a $50 million endowment established in 2006 by the Government of British Co-lumbia to help diversify the economies of central and northern Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

ICET is guided by a Board of Direc-tors and two regional advisory commit-tees which include more than 50 locally elected officials and MLAs and five ap-pointees. For more information: www.islandcoastaltrust.ca

JOHN HARDING PHOTO

Taking a break for a photo last week in front of the new offices of Vancouver Island Insurance Centre in downtown Parksville were, from left, branch manager Karyn Lehmann, assistant manager Jennifer Lowrey and insurance advisor Wendy Mortensen.

VIIC offers insurance services on just about everything one can think of insuring JOHN [email protected]

One of the oldest businesses in Parksville now has the newest of homes.

After 11 months of construction, Van-couver Island Insur-ance Centre opened its doors to customers last week in its new build-ing at the iconic down-town Parksville corner of Alberni High-way and Hirst Street.

What started as Thwaites Norris 102 years ago at the same location, the business may be second in Parksville longevity only to its kitty-corner neigh-bour, the Rod and Gun. The new build-ing is impressive, with wood beams clearly front of mind for chief contrac-tor, Don May Constructio. Inside is

bright with loads of room for customers and 14 staff, who for the past year have been divided amongst three locations.

“Everyone is here now,” branch man-ager Karyn Lehmann, who has worked at the business for 30 years, said in an inter-view last week. “The staff was so patient. That was a struggle being apart from each other, but it was well worth the wait.”

The business offers insurance services on just about everything one can think

of insuring, including auto, life, home, travel, farm, business and ma-rine. Lehmann said Don May Construc-tion was “fabulous” and she particularly

enjoys the space and natural light that shines into the new building.

“Our reception area is a lot larger than it was,” she said. “Now it’s big and bright and spacious and modern. It makes you feel good.”

Vancouver Island Insurance Centre at 146 Alberni Highway can be reached by calling 250-248-3229 and the web-site is: www.viic.ca/parksville.

That was a struggle being apart from each other, but it was well worth the wait

It is with great sadness that the Q

ualicum B

each C

hamber of C

omm

erce reports the passing of our C

hairman of the B

oard, Paul Walkey. Paul died on

Saturday, June 21 at his home. H

e was 59 years old.

Paul Walkey grew

up in Toronto, Ontario w

here he attended the U

niversity of Guelph. A

t the tender age of 19 he becam

e an entrepreneur for the � rst time

when he opened an A

nimal A

mbulance Service in

Toronto. He also spent several years w

orking on his m

usical career as a pianist/singer, playing for C

anadian Paci� c Hotels and sim

ilar venues and was

a mem

ber of the Musicians U

nion Toronto 149.Paul’s true passion w

as funeral service. He started

working at Furtney’s Funeral H

ome in Toronto w

hen he w

as only 16 and throughout his varied career has alw

ays gravitated back to caring for grieving fam

ilies. In 1999 Paul’s entrepreneurial genes took over

and he

moved

to C

anora, Saskatchew

an w

here he purchased a funeral hom

e and later the local hotel. W

hile in Canora, Paul w

as the Chairm

hamber of C

omm

erce and was instrum

ental in

implem

enting several

programs

including the

Christm

To Paul’s delight in 2009 he, along with his w

ife, B

ev, moved perm

anently to Vancouver Island w

here, since � rst visiting back in the 80s, he had alw

ays w

ished to retire. A

fter working for another funeral hom

e for 18 m

onths Paul and Bev decided to open the Q

ualicum

Beach Funeral C

entre and on August 1, 2010 they

opened their doors to serve the families of their new

com

munity.

Since moving to Q

ualicum B

each Paul became a

volunteer in the comm

unity. Paul was know

n for helping out just about everyw

here, from playing

piano at the local churches and senior homes, joining

the local Rotary C

lub, to becoming the C

hairman of

the Cham

ber of Com

merce. Paul took great pride in

being nominated as one of Q

ualicum B

each’s top three volunteers of the year 2014.

Paul kept

abreast of

what

was

happening in

Qualicum

B

each and

attended all

Town

council m

eetings and

began developing

changes to

the outdated cem

etery by-laws in the area. Paul, along

with his w

ife, Bev; their cat, Sheba and their dog,

Solly loved their little piece of heaven on Vancouver

Island. V

It is with great sadness that the Q

ualicum B

each C

hamber of C

omm

erce reports the passing of our C

hairman of the B

oard, Paul Walkey. Paul died on

Saturday, June 21 at his home. H

e was 59 years old.

Paul Walkey grew

up in Toronto, Ontario w

here he attended the U

niversity of Guelph. A

t the tender age of 19 he becam

e an entrepreneur for the � rst time

when he opened an A

nimal A

mbulance Service in

Toronto. He also spent several years w

orking on his m

usical career as a pianist/singer, playing for C

anadian Paci� c Hotels and sim

ilar venues and was

a mem

ber of the Musicians U

nion Toronto 149.Paul’s true passion w

as funeral service. He started

working at Furtney’s Funeral H

ome in Toronto w

hen he w

as only 16 and throughout his varied career has alw

ays gravitated back to caring for grieving fam

ilies. In 1999 Paul’s entrepreneurial genes took over

and he

moved

to C

anora, Saskatchew

an w

here he purchased a funeral hom

e and later the local hotel. W

hile in Canora, Paul w

as the Chairm

an of the C

hamber of C

omm

erce and was instrum

ental in

implem

enting several

programs

including the

Christm

as Night L

ight Parade and a Mem

orial Tree

Program.

To Paul’s delight in 2009 he, along with his w

ife, B

ev, moved perm

anently to Vancouver Island w

here, since � rst visiting back in the 80s, he had alw

ays w

ished to retire. A

fter working for another funeral hom

e for 18 m

onths Paul and Bev decided to open the Q

ualicum

Beach Funeral C

entre and on August 1, 2010 they

opened their doors to serve the families of their new

com

munity.

Since moving to Q

ualicum B

each Paul became a

volunteer in the comm

unity. Paul was know

n for helping out just about everyw

here, from playing

piano at the local churches and senior homes, joining

the local Rotary C

lub, to becoming the C

hairman of

the Cham

ber of Com

merce. Paul took great pride in

being nominated as one of Q

ualicum B

each’s top three volunteers of the year 2014.

Paul kept

abreast of

what

was

happening in

Qualicum

B

each and

attended all

Town

council m

eetings and

began developing

changes to

the outdated cem

etery by-laws in the area. Paul, along

with his w

ife, Bev; their cat, Sheba and their dog,

Solly loved their little piece of heaven on Vancouver

Island. V

ice-Chair of the C

hamber of C

omm

erce, Oura

oard and staff of the C

hamber

of C

omm

erce and

the com

alkey, our Chair person. Paul w

as an am

azing man, w

aking his place in Qualicum

Beach. O

ur deepest sym

pathy for Paul’s wife, B

Our thoughts are w

s – (CASL)O

n July 1, anti-spam legislation is com

ing into effect. T

his is an important topic for

any business owner or organization that uses

comm

ercial electronic messages (C

EM

) to contact custom

ers or mem

ber.

Below

are answers to a few

questions about the new

anti-spam legislation. For a m

ore detailed discussion go to: http://� ghtspam

Who needs to know

about the law

?A

nyone who m

akes use of comm

ercial electronic m

essages, is involved with the

alteration of transmission data, or produces or

installs computer program

s needs to be aware of

this law.

What does “spam

and other electronic threats” m

ean?T

here are various types of violations including the sending of unsolicited com

mercial electronic

messages, the unauthorized alteration of

transmission data, and the installation of

computer program

s without consent.

These violations include spam

, malw

are, spyw

are, address harvesting and false and m

isleading representations involving the use of any m

eans of telecomm

unications,

When does this com

e into force? T

he majority of the legislation

comes into force on July 1, 2014. T

his includes the section w

hich relates to the sending of com

mercial electronic m

essages (CE

Ms) and

the section that deals with the installation of

computer program

s, will com

e into force on January 15, 2015.

What is a com

mercial electronic

message?

Some exam

ples of CE

Ms include:

• offers to purchase, sell, barter or lease a product, goods, a service, land or an interest or right in land;

• offers to provide a business, investment or

gaming opportunity;

• promoting a person, including the public

image of a person, as being a person w

ho does anything referred to above, or w

ho intends to do so.

Am I know

prohibited from

sending marketing m

essages?N

o. Rather, it sets out som

e requirements for

sending a certain type of message, called a

comm

ercial electronic message (C

EM

), to an electronic address.

If you are sending a CE

M to an electronic

address, then you need to comply w

ith three requirem

ents. You need to: (1) obtain consent,

(2) provide identi� cation information, and (3)

provide an unsubscribe mechanism

.

How can I obtain consent?

Consent can be obtained either in w

riting or orally. In either case, the onus is on the person w

ho is sending the message to prove they have

obtained consent to send the message.

What is an unsubscribe

mechanism

? U

nder CA

SL, you m

ust include an unsubscribe m

echanism in the com

mercial electronic

messages (C

EM

s) that you send.

You can set up your unsubscribe m

echanism

in many different w

ays. It can be broad or very granular. For exam

ple, you can offer a choice to the recipient, allow

ing them to unsubscribe

from all or just som

e types of CE

Ms your

organization sends.

A key aspect is that an unsubscribe m

echanism

must be “readily perform

ed.” It should be sim

ple, quick and easy for the end-user.

What if I com

mit a violation

under the CSAL Act?If you com

mit a violation then you m

ay be required to pay an adm

inistrative monetary

penalty (AM

P). The m

aximum

amount of

an AM

P, per violation, for an individual is $1 m

illion, and for a business, it is $10 million.

STARTS THURSDAY

Annual theatre festival starts this week with all-female cast LISSA [email protected]

Jay Norton has always been drawn to scripts that can make people both laugh and cry and that’s why he was drawn to Always a Bridesmaid.

Norton is directing the play for Bard to Broadway at the Village Theatre in Qualicum Beach and it runs from July 3 to Aug. 11.

“I’ve done Steel Magnolias and Crimes of the Heart‚ there’s some really good scripts out there that are really funny but at a point in the script they’ll make you cry too,” he said.

The story surrounds four women who get into the li-quor on the night of their senior prom and make a pact to be in each other’s weddings no matter what. This ends up playing out more than once for some of the women, however.

“The play has a nice Southern twang to it,” Norton said, as it’s set in the Southern United States and rather than one lead role, each of the four women have meaty roles.

“They are good female parts,” he said. “They’ve got lots of diversity from one character to the other.”

There are also two other women in the play, making it an all-female cast.

It’s a very well written script, Norton said, created by the Jones Hope Wooten trio (Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten), the most produced play-wrights in the United States.

The comedy is said to be a laugh-out-loud and poi-gnant journey of four friends in their quests for ultimate love and happiness.

“It’s about the bond and the friendship that they’ve had over the 30-ish years,” said Norton, adding the play takes place over about seven years.

Women will identify with the play, Norton said, but guys will also enjoy it, as he does.

Catch Always A Bridesmaid at the Village Theatre. Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors and students and $11 for children, available at the box office: 110 West Second Ave. Call 250-752-4470 to book tickets or to find out office hours. Special two-for-one pricing is

available July 3 through 7. For more information visit www.b2btheatre.com. Contest: Win two tickets to Always a Bridesmaid.

Email [email protected] with “Send me to Al-ways a Bridesmaid” in the subject line and include the name of the script writing trio who created the play (see above). Draw will be done July 2.

B2B kicks off with Always a Bridesmaid

Young Frankenstein play debuts this Friday LISSA [email protected]

A classic comedy with quirky humour is hard enough to pull off, top it off with singing and dancing and you’ve got your-self a challenge. But the cast of Bard to Broadway’s Young Frankenstein is right on the money, according to co-founder of the theatre society, Gary Brown.

“The actors I have cast are passionate about this script and wanted badly to be

in it. It is a huge challenge for them to re-create a classic movie, but I am so im-pressed,” he said.

B2B is presenting Young Frankenstein, the Musical at the Village Theatre in Qual-icum Beach July 4 through August 16.

The broadway musical comedy is based on the 1974 Mel Brooks and Thom-as Meehan film. Brown said B2B looked at a variety of fun musicals, with an eye to rival last year’s immensely popular

Drowsy Chaperone. He said Mel Brooks is a genius when it comes to comedy and he personally loved the movie. It was a good choice to push the envelope a bit, he said, as it’s a large production (with 21 cast and many more behind the scenes) and plenty of expectations.

The story surrounds Frederick Fran-kenstein, grandson to the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein. In this spoof, Fred-erick refuses to acknowledge that he is

crazy like his family members so he calls himself Fronkenstein. When his last sur-viving relative dies, Frederick inherits the castle and must return to dispose of it. He meets Igor and Frau Blucher who con-vince him to create a new monster like his grandfather did and hilarity ensues.

“Throw into the mix a young, sexy lab assistant and Frederick’s fiance, Inspec-tor Kemp‚ think Pink Panther‚ and the crazy villagers of Transylvania. Whacky!”

A Southern-Flavoured Comic Gemby Jesse Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten

Young FrankensteinFrom Canada’s Comic Master

by Norm Foster

PAST PERFORMANCEPAST PERFORMANCE

In 1989 The Wealthy Barber (David Chilton) told readers “to look for (mutual) funds with a long-term track record; to make sure that the team who created the success was still running the show; to emphasize consistency by looking for funds that did well in both bear and bull markets; and to stay away from fad funds, focusing instead on value-oriented, disciplined management teams.”

Now that nearly 25 years have passed, let’s have a look and see how this approach has worked out. Not so well, I’m afraid.

To his credit though, he concedes this in the sequel The Wealthy Barber Returns (2011). In his words:

“I’m forced to admit that funds matching those criteria over the years have collectively underperformed the market. What’s worse, some of the management teams in whom I was most confident have posted the weakest returns. It’s frustrating, but past long-term performance has proven to have virtually no correlation to future performance.”

Still it’s a popular strategy to use past performance as an emotional button when promoting mutual funds. But as hopeful investors flock to the successful funds, cash levels grow, often at the most inopportune times: when markets are high. This forces the fund manager to make a choice: buy high, or sit on cash and wait for opportunities. Waiting can be costly though, as market timing frequently backfires, not to mention the fact that idle cash in a mutual fund is still subject to fees.

It is no secret that mutual funds are having a tough go of it lately, as a growing number of commentators, advisors, and investors look for alternatives. Exchange-traded funds, for example, have grown in popularity in recent years with their promise of near market-matching returns. Indeed the Wealthy Barber makes a case for these in his 2011 book The Wealthy Barber Returns.

But ironically proponents of exchange-traded funds often still use past performance to make their case. It can be a compelling case, depending of course on which numbers you look at. According to Morningstar, over a 10 year period only 14 Canadian mutual funds have outperformed the iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index Fund (symbol XIU). However, let’s look at what has happened since 2011 -- a period during which the Canadian stock market has averaged only 4.36% (based on 3-year returns to November 30, 2013). By having the flexibility to underweight the weaker sectors, the number of Canadian equity funds that have bested the XIU has grown from 14 to over 200, with 57 of these actually doubling the XIU.

It’s frustrating, but again we see that past performance has virtually no correlation to future performance.

So who can you look to for financial guidance when it seems that even the experts are still learning lessons?

STARTS THURSDAY

Annual theatre festival starts this week with all-female cast LISSA [email protected]

Jay Norton has always been drawn to scripts that can make people both laugh and cry and that’s why he was drawn to Always a Bridesmaid.

Norton is directing the play for Bard to Broadway at the Village Theatre in Qualicum Beach and it runs from July 3 to Aug. 11.

“I’ve done Steel Magnolias and Crimes of the Heart‚ there’s some really good scripts out there that are really funny but at a point in the script they’ll make you cry too,” he said.

The story surrounds four women who get into the li-quor on the night of their senior prom and make a pact to be in each other’s weddings no matter what. This ends up playing out more than once for some of the women, however.

“The play has a nice Southern twang to it,” Norton said, as it’s set in the Southern United States and rather than one lead role, each of the four women have meaty roles.

“They are good female parts,” he said. “They’ve got lots of diversity from one character to the other.”

There are also two other women in the play, making it an all-female cast.

It’s a very well written script, Norton said, created by the Jones Hope Wooten trio (Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten), the most produced play-wrights in the United States.

The comedy is said to be a laugh-out-loud and poi-gnant journey of four friends in their quests for ultimate love and happiness.

“It’s about the bond and the friendship that they’ve had over the 30-ish years,” said Norton, adding the play takes place over about seven years.

Women will identify with the play, Norton said, but guys will also enjoy it, as he does.

Catch Always A Bridesmaid at the Village Theatre. Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors and students and $11 for children, available at the box office: 110 West Second Ave. Call 250-752-4470 to book tickets or to find out office hours. Special two-for-one pricing is

available July 3 through 7. For more information visit www.b2btheatre.com. Contest: Win two tickets to Always a Bridesmaid.

Email [email protected] with “Send me to Al-ways a Bridesmaid” in the subject line and include the name of the script writing trio who created the play (see above). Draw will be done July 2.

B2B kicks off with Always a Bridesmaid

Young Frankenstein play debuts this Friday LISSA [email protected]

A classic comedy with quirky humour is hard enough to pull off, top it off with singing and dancing and you’ve got your-self a challenge. But the cast of Bard to Broadway’s Young Frankenstein is right on the money, according to co-founder of the theatre society, Gary Brown.

“The actors I have cast are passionate about this script and wanted badly to be

in it. It is a huge challenge for them to re-create a classic movie, but I am so im-pressed,” he said.

B2B is presenting Young Frankenstein, the Musical at the Village Theatre in Qual-icum Beach July 4 through August 16.

The broadway musical comedy is based on the 1974 Mel Brooks and Thom-as Meehan film. Brown said B2B looked at a variety of fun musicals, with an eye to rival last year’s immensely popular

Drowsy Chaperone. He said Mel Brooks is a genius when it comes to comedy and he personally loved the movie. It was a good choice to push the envelope a bit, he said, as it’s a large production (with 21 cast and many more behind the scenes) and plenty of expectations.

The story surrounds Frederick Fran-kenstein, grandson to the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein. In this spoof, Fred-erick refuses to acknowledge that he is

crazy like his family members so he calls himself Fronkenstein. When his last sur-viving relative dies, Frederick inherits the castle and must return to dispose of it. He meets Igor and Frau Blucher who con-vince him to create a new monster like his grandfather did and hilarity ensues.

“Throw into the mix a young, sexy lab assistant and Frederick’s fiance, Inspec-tor Kemp‚ think Pink Panther‚ and the crazy villagers of Transylvania. Whacky!”

NANOOSE BAY

Stuffies come to town Annual community-wide Teddy Bear Picnic in Nanoose July 5 BRENDA GOUGH News Contributor

An entire day dedicated to children and their stuffies takes place in Nanoose Bay July 5.

The Quality Foods annual Teddy Bear Pic-nic will see hundreds of children with their fa-vourite fuzzy friend gather for a day of fun at Jack Bagley Field.

Kids can load up on some carbs for the energy they will need at a pancake breakfast hosted by the Nanoose Bay Lions at Nanoose Place from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m.

Next up is the Nanoose Days Parade which kicks off at 10:30 a.m. and makes its way from the Nanoose Bay Fire Department to the pic-nic grounds.

The huge event being organized by Ken Bow-erman, manager of Quality Foods’ Qualicum branch said it takes many members of the com-munity to make the event run, from corporate

sponsors to more than 100 volunteers manning the various booths.

“The event is so popular there is always a line up from start to finish. Hundreds of kids show up for the picnic each year,” Bowerman stated.

“There are more kids at this event than the children’s sand castle event QF sponsors in Parksville.”

Bowerman started helping with the picnic 15 years ago and said since he has been in-volved he has seen people who attended years ago when they were kids who are now bring-ing their little ones.

“It is a unique event that attracts families from all over Vancouver Island as well as the lower mainland.”

The grass field where the event is held will be filled with fun stations including face paint-ing, wagon rides, a dunk tank, teddy tattoo parlour, bouncy castles, pony rides and even a bear clinic where a nurse will have a stitching kit to repair tattered and torn stuffed animals.

Hula hoop maker and instructor Sally Whibley can be found at many of the outdoor markets in Oceanside. � is summer she will donate partial proceeds of her hula hoop sales to the Ballenas Whalers football team. Sally’s son Lukas who died in a tragic accident a year ago at Little Qualicum Falls was a member of the high school football team. Sally said the team honoured her son by having a sticker made with his name on it and she explained that she wants to support the team because it brought Lukas so much joy.

Finger painting has been a tried and true method used to introduce children to the world of art but these days the technique is no longer just for pre-schoolers. In fact combined with the iPad, � nger painting is changing the way art is made and Brian Middleton has created some impressive pieces using the brand new medium. � e Parksville artist has an exhibition of iPad paintings at � e Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach. Brian mixed paint with pixels to create his works of art. Each of them took about � ve hours to edit and were then printed on paper backed by metal. � e prints are fused between two sheets of plexiglass and hang freely on the wall without any frame. His collection will be on display at TOSH until July 13.

� e DeCosmos Fine Arts Society is presenting work by a diverse group of local area artists at the McMillan Arts Centre (MAC) in Parksville from July 2 to 26. � e artists who have work in the exhibition called Hidden Treasures will be at an opening reception on Friday, July 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. � e DeCosmos Fine Arts Society has been an in� uential member of the local art scene for over 40 years and has more than 100 active members.

� e Errington War Memorial Hall has been the site of many memorable events since its doors opened in 1922. Considered the heart of the community, the hall has un-dergone many renovations over the years. Last year a universal access ramp was added and thanks to the work of many dedicated volunteers, the Errington land mark continues to be more than just a building. On June 28, members of the current hall board hosted a tea to cele-brate the hard work of former hall board members and those who have played a role in keeping the hall alive and thriving. Bob Herbison who has been a hall supporter for many years and a collector of historical documents pointed out that the Pickard family wins the award for the most volunteers from one family. Bob shared some of his hall stories with the old timers as well as the new commu-nity supporters who were on hand for event. A few oth-ers took a walk down memory lane and divulged some of their fond and funny memories of happenings at the hall including Murray Chantler a long time hall contributor who was honoured at last summers, Hi Neighbour Day festivities.

Sally Whibley is a regular vendor at the Craig Street Summer Market in Parksville. This year she is donating a portion of her hoola hoop sales towards the Ballenas Whalers Football Team. Sally’s son Lukas, who was killed in an accident at Little Qualicum Falls last summer, was a member of the football team which placed memorial stickers on each helmet lastseason to commemorate the fallen player.

The iPad is the new canvass for Parksville artist Brian Middleton. This large work of art he created by virtual finger painting is part of a new exhibit at The Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach (TOSH) that includes several of his iPad paintings. Virtual Impressionism is the term Brian uses to describe the essence of his work, which will be on display at TOSH until July 13.

Riverside RV Resort lifeguard Evan Woodson was happy to see the sun come out June 22 for the official opening of the pool and water slide. Eight-year-old Hailey Boe of Port Alberni had a great time hanging out in the pool, which is always a toasty 84 degrees F. The water slide and pool is great for cooling off on hot summer days and is open to the public.

Bege Johnston was one of the many volunteers recognized for their contributions to the Errington War Memorial Hall. An appreciation tea was held June 28 to thank the former and present hall board members as well as the many work horses of the community who have helped keep the old hall going strong since 1922. Bege spent many years as a sound tech at the hall and created several music event posters over the years.

“Glenda Sweet helped us buy our � rst rental property. We had been looking for a property for several years. Glenda immediately set us up on her email program, and within two weeks we had found several properties in our narrow budget range!

When we looked at properties, and throughout the buying process, she truly listened to what we needed and made sure we had answers for all our questions. She walked us through the small print, and pointed out many things we didn’t think to ask questions about. Thanks to her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, we didn’t end up with any unpleasant surprises.

I would highly recommend using Glenda as your realtor, and next time we are in the position to buy or sell another house, we will be calling her.” Imi Carroll

BSS WHALERS FOOTBALL

Hines leaves behind a strong football program

BCPBL BASEBALL

Royals win 2

T YSON [email protected]

Mentor, inspiration, father figure, role model, coach. These are just a few words that come to mind when describing long time Ballenas Whalers coach Sean Hines.

Hines, who was at the helm of the Bal-lenas Whalers football program for more than a decade, is heading home after ar-riving in Parksville 1988.

As one of the founding fathers of the program, Hines was as dedicated to the community as he was to the team.

Hines will be moving back to Oregon, where he’s originally from, leaving be-hind a legacy that won’t soon be forgot-ten. Current Whalers head coach Jeremy

Conn coached with Hines for seven years and got to learn a thing or two from the man himself both on and off the field.

“It’s a big loss in the community, for sure. Sean was one of the reasons I came to Ballenas and we’ve become the best of friends,” Conn said. “It was an awesome experience and to be able to work with someone like Sean Hines is a great expe-rience in itself.”

There were a number of highlights through his tenure with the Whalers, in-cluding a provincial title in 2002. Several players have come through the program and gone on to play at the university level and some at the professional level, some-

thing that Conn feels was a result of coach Hines’ community connection.

“He was just such an important part of the whole football scene here,” Conn said. “Sean went so far as to have his ga-rage built so that he could store the foot-ball equipment in there. If any of the kids needed any gear, they’d head to his house and he’d have the gear there, ready to go. Sean was just one of those guys that was willing to do anything for you, he had a hard time saying no and that was what makes him the special guy he is.”

Hines’ dedication and passion for the game of football touched hundreds of stu-dents through the years. Oceanside Youth

Football League numbers have been holding and the Whalers have consistent-ly put a strong product on the field.

“As a communicator and mentor, there was none better when it came to the game,” Conn said. “He’s been such a key piece of the football scene for the Oceans-ide area and to lose a guy like him, there’s going to be a big hole missing that he filled for all those years.”

Sean Hines’ fingerprints will remain on the Whalers football program for years and with Conn having been a part of his coaching staff for several years, the Sean Hines attitude won’t be far away, regard-less of where coach Hines calls home.

T YSON [email protected]

The Parksville Royals rolled over the Coquitlam Reds, sweeping a double–header Sunday.

The Royals put together the consistency coaches were looking for, earning victories over the Reds to improve their record to 11–22. It was the finish they were looking for and will help them make a push for the B.C. Premier Baseball League (BCPBL) playoffs.

Owen Kelly continued his fine form on the mound as the Royals took game one 3–1. He went the distance in the first game, striking out seven while giving up just one run on four hits. It was Kel-ly’s fifth win of the season, his second in a row.

Josh Anderson, of Nanoose Bay, provided the of-fensive spark for the Royals, going 1–1 at the dish and driving in two runs. Port Alberni’s Dean Ley-land went 2–3 at the plate with one RBI.

“Owen pitched a great game for us to get things started, so that’s always a plus,” assistant coach Bruce Biro said. “When you have good pitching, the rest usually falls into place and we were able to ex-ecute when we needed to and held it together on defense for the win.”

The second game saw the bottom of the Royals batting order come to life as three players earned all seven runs, handing the Reds a 7–2 loss. Colton Tuka got the start in game two and went five in-nings, giving up two runs on six hits to go along with three strikeouts. Will Drewry and Justin Dieleman, from Nanoose Bay, pitched relief to close the game.

First baseman Zack Senay had himself a game, going 2–3 at the plate with three RBI’s. Braxton Barnes (2-4) and Adam McKillican (2-2) each had two hits and each had two RBIs to account for the other four runs. Dieleman also went 2–4 at the plate, as the Royals cranked out 10 hits in game two.

“We had a lot of team at bats in both games and coupled with good, solid pitching, we played two great games against the Reds,” Biro said. “Everyone on the team contributed in both games and that’s great to see. When we all work together as a unit and feed off one another, this team is very capable of winning ball games like this each time out there.”

Canada Day will see a double–header against the Victoria Mariners at home at Inouye–Wallace Field. Game one starts at noon.

MOSQUITO REP BASEBALL

Reds looking to provincials T YSON [email protected]

The Oceanside Reds mosquito rep team is looking to get back to provincials and want to improve on their sixth place finish last year.

Playing together for the last few years, this Reds team are well on their way to having a good showing once again after a strong year last year.

With a 4–1 record in exhibition play so far, the Reds have dominated play and are gearing up for the zone play downs, which take place at Springwood Park at the end of July.

“These kids have been working really hard since January and they’ve been doing it with so much enthusiasm,” coach Rob McGorman said.

“Last year we had a solid season and the boys have been looking forward to getting the chance to make it back to the provincials with the hopes of improving on their finish from last year.”

Playing with the same group the last three years has gone a long way in helping the team get to where they are. Growing together both on and off the field has helped develop strong team chemistry.

“Watching them grow over the last three years as individuals and as a team has been great,” McGorman said. “They’re all really pulling for each other and watching them enjoy playing the game has been nothing short of fantastic.”

OLYMPIC HOCKEY PLAYER COMES TO QUALICUM BEACH

Golden visit for grandma at The GardensBrianne Jenner scored a key goal in the march to the gold medal in SochiBRENDA GOUGHNEWS Contributor

There were some golden moments for residents of The Gardens in Qualicum Beach on Wednesday.

It’s a rare treat when you get a visit to your house from a Canadian Olympic athlete who lets you hold a gold medal, but the extraordinary opportunity oc-curred for the seniors who call The Gar-dens their home.

Last week, Brianne Jenner, a member of the Canadian women’s hockey team, brought her prestigious hardware to the facility where her grandma resides.

Not only did Jenner share stories with the residents about her experience at the Sochi Winter Olympics, she also passed around her gold medal, posed for photos and signed pictures for the appreciative crowd. Among the residents dressed in patriotic red and white was a very proud Betty Jenner.

Betty said having the honour of being the grandmother of an Olympic athlete never really impacted her until this visit.

Betty emphasized that regardless of her impressive athletic achievements, her granddaughter has always been wonderful.

“She is a great kid … she can do any-

thing and I am very proud of her.”With a little more than three minutes

left in the gold medal game Feb. 20 in Sochi against the U.S. and Canada losing 2-0, Jenner scored Canada’s first goal in a dramatic finish that would see Canada win 3-2 in overtime.

Her grandmother said she was on pins and needles for that game.

“I watched it on TV and I was so ner-vous because it was touch and go,” she recalled.

The 23-year-old student who began her collegiate career at Cornell Univer-sity in Ithaca, New York has been bal-ancing her university and hockey career since 2010. She admitted she was sad she didn’t make it to Qualicum Beach sooner so her grandfather could have also held her gold medal.

Fred Jenner, who was also a resident of The Gardens, passed away a month ago.

“I am happy I was able to get out here and share this with my grandmother … but I wish I could have gotten here when my grandfather was here. It is special to share this with my grandma and to meet all of her friends here,” said Jenner.

Dave Jenner, Brianne’s father, was also in town for a visit with his brother Craig Jenner and his wife Andrea, who live in Qualicum Beach. BRENDA GOUGH PHOTO
