UBCM MEETINGS ALL THIS WEEK

CANDACE WU [email protected]

Joe Stanhope wants BC Ferries routes re-stored and fares reduced.

e chair of the Regional District of Nanai-mo, along with thousands of other municipal politicians from throughout B.C., will be in Whistler this week for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention and ferry service promises to be a hot topic.

A steady stream of BC Ferries fare increases has dramatically driven down ridership, costing the provinces GDP $2.3 billion over 10 years, according to a new report commissioned by the UBCM. e report analyzes the impact of fare increases on ridership levels and the overall im-pact of BC Ferries on the provincial economy. It found that while ridership is declining, most other forms of transportation in the province including vehicle and air are on the rise.

And its top of mind for Stanhope.Its a pretty big issue, Stanhope told e

NEWS a few days before heading to the annual UBCM convention in Whistler (Sept. 22-26), where he vowed to pledge his support behind a resolution calling on the government to re-consider its policy of cutting service routes and hiking prices.

If the ferry rate increases had been lim-ited to the rate of in ation, passenger volumes would have grown by 19 per cent, he said, cit-ing the report. But because they (ferry rates) were raised, ridership dropped 11 per cent.

Stanhope said the economy of the whole province is a ected negatively. According to the study, the forgone economic activity result-ed in an estimated total loss of $609 million in tax revenue (at all levels of government).

BACK TO THE BOOKS

With an 86 per cent vote in favour of the deal worked out between the province and B.C. Teachers Federa-tion, school is back in session tomor-row (Sept. 24) in District 69.

Students in most districts returned to school Monday, but the complica-tions of school recon gurations here over the summer mean local students are starting two days later, as original-ly scheduled.

As there is a great deal of prepara-tory work that remains following the

job action, we will be honouring our commitment to two transitional/re-con guration days in order to ensure that students are coming into safe, orderly and well-prepared learning environments, said superintendent Rollie Koop in a news release.

Monday and Tuesday are non-in-structional days, in order to ensure that our school readiness levels are what we need them to be for the ar-rival of students on Wednesday.

Wednesday will be as normal a rst day back to school as possible, with all students with the possible excep-

tion of Kindergarten students start-ing class an hour late and ending an hour early, which school bus sched-ules will match. Parents of Kindergar-ten students will be contacted by their schools about their schedules.

Following the locally familiar re-connect start system, elementary students will return to their class from the end of last year to take enrolment and be directed to their new class.

Students entering grades 8-12 should attend Ballenas or Kwalikum secondary schools.

TD TREE DAY: Shovels in hand on a bright sunny day, dozens of people headed to Humphrey Park in Parksville to plant trees on Sunday during TD Banks annual Tree Day. Above, taking a break from planting, from left to right, are Ginny Lefeaux, Susan Zutz, Janean Griffith and Donna McLeod. More than 125 trees were planted in Humphrey Park on Sunday.

CANDACE [email protected]

Carrie Powell-Davidson is looking to go national.The Parksville city councillor confirmed onSaturday morning she

will seek the federal Liberal Party nomination this fall.Its all in preliminary stages, she said in a phone interview from

Vancouver Saturday morning, en route to represent the City of Parks-ville at the annual UBCM convention in Whistler.

Powell-Davidson declined further comment on her federal candi-dacy, except to say that she is committed to finishing (her) term in council.Its unclear if she will seek to retain her council seat in the Nov. 15 municipal elections.

The next federal election is slated for Oct. 19, 2015. The candidate selection process is underway for most political parties.

The Conservative Party has selected current cabinet minister John Duncan as its candidate in the new riding of Courtenay-Alberni. The NDP has had a couple of people express interest, but have not yet selected its candidate. Its also unclear when the Liberals will choose their candidate. Last year, federal boundaries were re-drawn moving Parksville Qualicum Beach into a different riding. The new Courte-nay-Alberni riding incorporates Courtenay, Baynes Sound, Denman and Hornby Islands, Cumberland, Port Alberni, Qualicum Beach, Parksville, Tofino and Ucluelet.

Powell-Davidson is currently serving her first term on city coun-cil. In the 2011 municipal election, she received 1,400 votes, 8.95 per cent of the total votes. Of the six city councillors elected, she received the fourth-highest number of votes. PROPOSED MEDICAL MARIJUANA FACILITY IN DEEP BAY/BOWSER

Woman concerned about facilitys proximity to elementary schoolCANDACE [email protected]

Another proposed pot operation has neigh-bors up in arms.

Keith and Sean Reid, a Vancouver Island father-son duo, have applied through Health Canada to open a medical marijuana facility in Deep Bay, on the corner of Highway 19A and Gainsberg Road.

Earlier this month, The NEWS reported Wildflower Marijuana Inc., a Vancouver-based company, also applied to open a medical pot operation in the Rivers Edge community of Na-noose Bay, where residents have been rallying against the companys intension to set up shop.

And similarly, the most recent news isnt sitting well with at least one longtime Bowser resident.

This is terribly unfair to the local commu-nity, said Dianne Eddy Friday afternoon.

Eddy, president of the Mapleguard Ratepay-ers Association, said she is planning a strategy

meeting within the week calling together Deep Bay/Bowser residents who share her concerns.

This is devastating to our whole area, she said. We will be planning various strategies.

Eddy said she is concerned about the loca-tion of the proposed facility which she says is close to the communitys elementary school she is also worried about water, security, traffic and odour issues.

Eddy said there are 1,200 homes in the area, most of which will be affected by the presence of a pot operation.

You could imagine having a bakery in the middle of a neighbourhood and the lovely smell of baking would flow through the community, she said. Well, this wouldnt be a lovely smell in fact, its indeed a very pungent smell.

She said a pot facility would take away from the beautiful spectacular area of Deep Bay, fearing it would become a slum.

And while Keith Reid told The NEWS last week the facility was intended to be relatively small, Eddy is concerned the operation will ex-pand in the future.

HARVEST FESTIVAL: Families flocked to Tiger Lily Farms harvest festi-val on Sunday, a popular annual event in Errington. Children and their parents and grandparents enjoyed things like face painting, scarecrow making, pony rides and interacting with all sorts of farm animals. They even got to milk some goats and then bottle-feed the little ones. For more photos from the event, visit our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/PQBNews.

LOCALS REACT TO SCOTTISH VOTE

Peaceful and closeAUREN [email protected]

The Scottish independence vote was a nail biter that had people around the world watching closely and the effects will likely be ana-lyzed for a long time.

We watched all night long, said Bob Adam, a long time Oceanside resident who moved to Canada from Scotland 47 years ago.

It got interesting once the results started coming in and Glasgow went Yes, he said. We found it very exciting, mostly I was very proud of Scotland, proud to be Scottish as they showed the world how to do things peacefully.

Like most close observers, he suggested that the relatively close 55 per cent win by the No side will mean there will be a lot more issues to sort out in the coming weeks and years.

My own feeling is (Prime Min-ister David) Cameron was play-ing by the seat of his pants and he opened a whole can of worms. I think he panicked and caused a whole lot of future problems for himself.

Before the referendum, Adam told The NEWS that while in my heart I would like to see indepen-dence, in my brain I know its not the smartest thing.

He had predicted a No side win and afterward he said as of now this was a good result, but down the road I have no idea.

Another local Scottish expatri-ate, John Beaton, agreed there will be ramifications, suggesting the promises that the government made will be hard to deliver on.

TOUR DE ROCK

Riders left Port Hardy Sunday; here ThursdayLocal RCMP members estimate they have put in 3,500 km of training ridesAUREN [email protected]

After six months of training and fund-raising, the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team has travelled up Island and by the end of today (Sept. 23) they will already have cycled more than 230 km from Port Hardy to Campbell River.

Weve been training hard they never let things get easier, said Oceans-ide RCMP Const. Jordan Reid before em-barking on the two-week odyssey.

He said that while they did similar dis-tances throughout the extensive training period, their trainers kept pushing them faster and harder, cutting their original-ly-painful cycle up Observatory Hill in Victoria down dramatically to a handful of minutes, for example.

Reid also spoke about how trainers lengthened some of their training rides.

Our very first ride was 20 km and the other day we did 145 km, he said, adding that the entire team of 24 law enforce-ment, media and guest riders have pro-gressed as a group, but there has been a dramatic change in some, including one rider from Victoria whod never ridden a bike before and is now comfortable on long treks at high speeds.

That was (the trainers) goal, to get us as comfortable on our bikes as possible, said teammate, fellow Oceanside Const. George Minshull.

The last thing on our mind, should be struggling up a hill, its about getting into the communities and getting the message out, Minshull said of the Black Press-sponsored, Canadian Cancer Soci-ety fundraiser.

He estimated they have ridden about

3,500 km in training and both local riders said it has already been an amazing trip.

Its been hard, but tons of fun, Reid said. Weve met a whole lot of good peo-ple and Camp Goodtimes was a great ex-perience, he said of their trip to Maple Ridge, to one of the rides major bene-factors, where children with cancer get to have a normal summer camp experi-ence.

Its a pretty cool place, a real special place that not a lot of people get to visit, Minshull agreed.

Both riders said they are already near-ing their fundraising goals, and hope the

funds keep coming throughout the tour, with last years team raising around $1.2 million for pediatric cancer.

The Island effort is one of just four similar epic rides around B.C. every fall, including the Tour de Coast, Tour de North and Tour de Valley.

Both local riders thanked the commu-nity and encourage people to come out and support the good cause as they ride through town this Thursday and Friday.

The team is scheduled to arrive at Qualicum Beach Town Square around 11:45 a.m., Sept. 25 and head on to var-ious events around the area including

school stops, a meet and greet at Thrifty Foods Thursday after lunch and the big beer and burger fundraiser at the Quality Inn Bayside at 6 p.m.

There are still $20 tickets available for the evening event, which will include a fun and touching time with the riders and local cancer survivors and support-ers.

Tickets are available at the Bayside, Parksville Chrysler, Parksville Chamber or any member of the Rotary Club of Parksville.

COATS FOR KIDS

You can help Rotary provide warmth this winterCANDACE [email protected]

As summer starts to slide away, the weather turns and suddenly you need a coat.

So do many others which is why the Rotary Club of Parksville AM and the Rotary Club of Qualicum Beach Sunrise have partnered up with the leadership classes of Ballenas and Kwalicum Sec-ondary School to organize the annual Coats for Kids fundraiser.

who need it most. According to a news release issued by

Rotary, Coats for Kids is an opportunity for you to clean out your closets and make a much need-ed donation of gently used coats and winter accessories like scarves and gloves to the folks in our community who could really use them to keep warm this winter.

Parksville Qualicum Beach residents have supported this cause since 1996.

People can drop off coats and acces-sories from Sept. 22 to Oct. 20 at: any Dis-

trict 69 school, Parksville Kiddie Kollege, Marlin Travel, the Parksville Library, Quality Foods (Nanoose and Parks-ville), Qualicum Foods, Thrifty Foods, Save-On-Foods, Coastal Commu-

THANK YOU

Heres a look at how the schools have been reconfigured from last year, and where stu-dents up to and including Grade 7, should go on Wednesday morning.

(Note the names of the for-mer middle schools have al-ready been changed):

Former French Creek Community School students go to Errington or Qualicum Beach Elementary.

Parksville Elementary En-glish students go to Spring-wood Elementary School, French immersion go to Oceanside Elementary School.

Former Qualicum Beach Elementary stu-dents go to the new Qualicum Beach Elemen-tary (former Middle) or Arrowview Elementa-ry.

Winchelsea Elementary students go to Springwood or Oceanside Elementary School.

An originally scheduled non-class plan-

ning day Friday will be postponed, so Thurs-day and Friday will be normal school days.

Despite a burst water pipe at the new Qual-icum Beach Elementary Aug. 13 which caused

considerable damage, the school will open Wednesday along with the rest of the dis-trict.

Koop said they had crews re-doing floors over the weekend and will be working right down to Tuesday, but as of Monday morning he was confident they would be able to open Wednesday.

We are excited about beginning the school year and once again feeling the excite-ment and energy that comes with the sights and sounds of student learning, Koop con-cluded.

Visit the websites of The NEWS (www.pqb-news.com) and the district (www.sd69.bc.ca) for the latest developments.

Moreover, the decline in ridership has been linked to declines in business corpora-tions and housing starts in coastal communities while population migration and real estate prices in coastal communities have also started a downward trend since 2009 compared to non-coastal com-munities.

A lot of these coastal communi-ties are withering on the vine, said Stanhope. It (fare increases) has af-fected the provincial economy and had a direct impact on tourism. Its the whole of B.C. all of these different sec-

tors benefit directly or indirectly from people traveling, and theyve been impacted nega-

tively. The report, Boatswains to the

Bollards: A Socioeconomic Impact Analysis of BC Ferries, will be pre-sented at the UBCM conference.

Stanhope said he will support the recommendation at UBCM ask-ing the province to restore 2013 fer-ry fares and service levels, conduct further socio-economic analysis building on the current data and rec-ognize that the coastal ferries are an

extension of the highway.

The cute little furry animals are revolting!

COLUMN

Relax, Bambi lovers. PETA protest-ers, put down those pitchforks and flaming torches. I mean revolting as in revolution, not revulsion.

After several hundred thousand years of being hunted, trapped, saddled, har-nessed, whipped, kicked, cursed, experiment-ed upon, slaughtered, cooked and eaten by us, their self-appointed masters animals have finally had it with us.

Its not the heavy hitters that are turning. Polar bears, great white sharks, lions and tigers have never had any compunction about taking a piece out of hu-mans, but lately its the cute and cuddly little guys.

The fuzzy-wuzzy peaceniks like, well... who ever heard of predatory beavers? Jeremy Mc-Naughton has.

The 23-year-old student from Halifax was snorkeling along Nova Scotias eastern shore last summer with a couple of friends when he noticed a foreign vessel bearing down on him. It was covered in fur.

I thought it must be a seal, he told a news-paper reporter later.Except this seal had buck teeth, beady eyes and a tail as flat as an iPad.

It sounds like the description of a beaver, but thats ridiculous. Beaver dont live in salt water and they dont chase huma YEOW!

The Unidentified Furry Object lunged in and gnawed a chunk of flesh out of Jeremy Mc-Naughtons thigh, necessitating a trip to emer-gency, several stitches and a round of rabies vaccinations.

Sounds weird, but it wouldnt surprise Le-lani Grove.She was swimming with her eight-year-old grandson in Lake Connor Park in Washington when they were mugged by a riv-er otter intent on maximum mayhem.

River otters, for those who arent famil-

iar, are hardly man-eaters.Theyre slinky and shy, not much bigger than a house cat. This one left grandma with a gouged eye, damaged vision and several bites that required stitch-es.The eight-year-old was similarly swarmed, scratched and bitten, though not mortally.

This does not bode well for humans of the Canadian persuasion. We have perhaps the worlds largest indigenous population of river otters, all toothed and clawed, all ripe for insurrection.

And beavers? Hey, we corner the market on beavers. They not only rule our rivers, creeks and ponds, theyre on our nickel for crying out loud.

And then theres the rabbit.Bet you never thought of rabbits

as a threat.What with that quiv-ery little nose? Those dopey ears? Those big, liquid eyes?Come on.

Yeah, well thats what Jimmy Carter thought until a rabbit came after him.

The 39th President of the United States was enjoying a little R and R, back in 1979, mind-ing his own business, fishing from a canoe in backwoods Georgia when suddenly a swamp rabbit, hissing and gnashing its teeth, jumped into the water and started swimming towards his canoe.

True story! They didnt have to call in the FBI or anything, but Mister Carter and his handlers cut bait and paddled away, just to be on the safe side.

Ravening beavers... vampire river otters... kamikaze swamp rabbits... where will it end?

One small piece of good news: I hear that the Energizer Bunny has been tracked to his lair and arrested.

Theyre charging him with battery. Arthur Black lives on Saltspring

Island. His column appears every Tuesday in The NEWS. E-mail: [email protected].

Chill, minor hockey parents, just chill.

Its that time of year again, when the nights cool and the arenas ll every week-end with the sounds of our national game.

Unfortunately, not all the sounds we hear in the rinks come from the ice.

Most minor hockey parents get it. ey are there to support their children, and his/her teammates, in a pos-itive way. ere are some, however, who need to re-think why they are at the rink.

Its better now, for sure. We are more educated about the harm that can be done by bullies and loudmouths. Our coaches and volunteers go through more rigorous background checks. And the Internet, with its ability to instantly share videos, has a policing e ect too.

Still there are some in the crowd who believe their kid is going to make the NHL. Or the Western Hockey League. Or get a scholarship.

e odds of a minor hockey player in this country making the NHL are worse than one in 4,000, according to research done recently in Ontario, where almost half of Canadas minor hockey players reside.

Like to hear it or not, the odds are even worse for a kid playing in Oceanside Minor Hockey. is is not a hockey mecca. Six players from Kelvington, Sask. have made the NHL. We are not aware of any Oceanside Minor Hockey product who has played in the NHL. Kelvington has a population of about 1,000. Its not all about the weather or availability of outdoor rinks.

Its OK to chase a dream. As long as its the kids dream. And it can happen.

Once a parent looks past the almost ridiculous notion of an end-game that includes riches or a free education, the real advantages of playing minor hockey, especially at the rep level, become more apparent.

ere is teamwork and loyalty to be learned. ese kids also learn how to behave in restaurants and hotels. ey also look great in suits. ey are taught that nothing comes without hard work and commitment. ey learn there are rami cations for poor behaviour. In short, they learn life lessons they will be able to use o the ice their entire lives, while also learning how to play a game they can play their entire lives.

Its the best game in the world. At the minor hockey level, lets keep it in perspective.

EDITORS NOTEWhen the teachers strike ended last

week, we still had a lot of letters to the editor in our folder related to the labour dispute.

We appreciate the efforts of all our letter writers. With many letters discussing other topics still in our folder, and civic elections on the horizon, we will not be publishing the letters about the labour dispute we re-ceived before the end of the strike. If you wrote a letter about the strike and it did not get published, we offer our thanks and we encourage you to rewrite it with the resolu-tion for context, or write about an entirely different subject matter.

Thanks to all of you who make our letters to the editor pages so relevant and vibrant.

JOHN HARDING, EDITORParksville Qualicum Beach News

PROVE SAFETYThere is a growing body of evidence

that external electromagnetic fields can be hazardous to our health fields from con-troversial sources such as cell phones, cell phone towers and smart meters, etc.

The problem is that the strength is these fields is often far greater than our bodies were meant to absorb. Overloaded fields have a negative affect on cell membrane potentials and how cells communicate with one another.

If we are to achieve good health, a bal-ance of the bodys electrical fields is essen-tial. The brain communicates with the rest of the body by emitting electrical charges across the cell membranes of nerve cells,

usually around 80 millivolts. Any excess usually ends up in the nervous system send-ing out false signals to the brain, some caus-ing symptoms of ill health.

Each cell conducts its processes across the cell membrane by absorbing nutri-ents and ejecting waste products. The rate at which these are exchanged tells us how efficiently the cell is working as it depends on the difference in the electrical charge on both sides of the membrane.

The cell is already challenged by toxic substances and there is no need to be re-minded of the many new toxic chemicals introduced into our world every day.

I would suggest that we start using our brains and start taking these matters se-riously by insisting on the precautionary principal which would require those who expect to make money from the introduc-tion of these toxic chemicals and gadgets to prove firstly that they are safe.

STAN GAUTHIERParksville

ROUNDABOUT WASTEA roundabout at Highway 19A and Vil-

lage Way is a waste of money.I turn off of 19A to Village Way almost

daily and I have yet to see any traffic prob-lems there. The money should be spent on some proper curbs and sidewalks in Quali-cum, especially along Village Way and other streets where bus stops are located.

I see young children walking on the shoul-ders of the road on their way to school.It is dangerous, particularly in the winter time in

dark wet weather. Village Way should be a welcoming gateway to Qualicum, much like Memorial Avenue is from the top of Rupert Road with sidewalks boulevards and proper bus shelters.

Kudos to Parksville for all the sidewalks they have put in their city over the past five years. It would be nice if Qualicum took a page out of your book on this issue.

STEVE ANDERSONQualicum Beach

SYMPHONY CARPOOLFor several years a friend and I have pur-

chased seasons tickets to the Vancouver Is-land Symphony concerts performed in the Port Theatre in Nanaimo. We would like to continue to do so. However, as we approach our eighties neither of us truly enjoys the evening winter drives to Nanaimo.

We have therefore approached the driver of a local shuttle business in the hope that he would provide transportation to the theatre and back to Parksville after the performance and he is prepared to do that. His shuttle bus has the capacity for 12 people and we won-dered if there were other seniors in the com-munity who would like to ride along with us in comfort with no hassles regarding park-ing, for a truly enjoyable evening.

If so, please contact Aileen Fabris at 250-951-0324 to discuss price and a contact spot to be picked up by the driver.

lettersPRO CHOICE, NOT A CHOICE

Re: H.R. Drummonds letter (The NEWS, August 12) about pro choice.

Thanks to Drummond for pointing out that no one is allowed to impose their own idea of morality on anyone else except for Drummond per-haps, along with Justin Trudeau, whos just imposed his will on all Liberal MPs by insisting that they all be pro choice.

Whos kidding whom? This is pre-cisely someone imposing his own idea of morality on others.

If Trudeau cant allow his own members any choice but lip service, isnt this the start of that dangerous and slippery slope that Drummond professes to abhor?

Whats next on the noble agenda? Cattle prods? Centralized control by an autocratic authority?

How easy it is for lofty idealism to degenerate into the next form of tyr-anny. No choice but pro-choice? No thanks.

POSTPONING TAXESRe: your editorial Strike frustra-

tions (The NEWS, Sept 9).Yes, the B.C. Liberals have not di-

rectly raised taxes. However, since Gor-don Campbell and now Christy Clark came to power, they have continually every year raised the provincial debt. Last year, Clarks government bor-rowed a further $4 billion.

The only way to pay off a taxpayers mortgage is from tax revenue from ei-ther personal, sales and/or corporate taxes.

In truth, Clark is passing on/post-

poning tax increases to another pro-vincial premier.

HEALTH CARE: PROSThe health care system may be

flawed in many ways, but I have found that the people that work in it are pro-fessional, caring and kind.

From the 911 responder who coached me inCPR, to all the paramed-ics, fire department and others who came to try to save my husband, and to help me. All I can say is they are very dedicated and we should be grateful for them, as I am, especially the volunteer firemen who come out at all hours.

I have nothing but praise for them all. Thank you.

ARTS LIFE DO YOU HAVE LOCAL ARTS NEWS?Email: [email protected]: 250-905-0019&SATURDAY NIGHT IN PARKSVILLE

Local musician part of Pink Floyd tribute bandThe Wall features special effects and laser light showBRENDA GOUGHNEWS Contributor

Whether you are a casual fan or a ra-bid Floydian you wont want to miss The Wall performing at the Parksville Com-munity and Conference Centre (PCCC) this Saturday night.

The nine piece tribute act will present the complete Pink Floyd experience in their elaborate show that has special ef-fects including laser lights and a projec-tion screen.

Pink Floyd are one of the most suc-cessful and influential rock groups of all time.

The English rockers formed in London in the early 1960s and went on to achieve international acclaim with their progres-sive and psychedelic music.

Distinguished by their use of philo-sophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and musically influential groups in the his-tory of popular music.

Parksville musician Terry Sheldrake said he grew up listening to Pink Floyd and has always been a fan of the group. About a year ago, he convinced some like minded musicians to form the cover band.

He said The Wall has a live show that is pretty close to what you would get if you went to a Pink Floyd concert.

We learned the songs as Pink Floyd played them. The songs are really amaz-ing to play they are really intricate and you never get bored of playing them, he acknowledged.

He said they will perform a mix of Pink Floyds best-known material to satisfy Floyd fans of every generation including: Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Time, Another Brick In the Wall, Hey You, Money, Welcome to the Machine and Mother.

We do some of their later stuff as well. We try to cover the more popular songs,

not the older obscure stuff things peo-ple recognize. My favourite is Young Lust.

A lot of the band members from The Wall are from Port Alberni but Sheldrake who grew up in the Parksville Qualicum Beach area has played with several Van-couver Island rock bands including, The Blatantly Obvious, Cabin Fever, Dean Martini Band and In Transit.

He said he cant wait to bring The Walls live show to his turf.

I have been in a lot of bands but what has been really great about this band is everyone wants to make great music

no one has an ego, everyone is happy to be there and it translates to the shows.

With Jim Kraneveldt on guitars and vocals, Blaine Ronning on sax, guitars, vocals and percussion, Greg Patterson on vocals and bass guitar, Art Van Volsen on drums and percussion, Graham White at the keyboards and Sheldrake singing and playing guitar the group performs two and a half hours of Pink Floyd material.

There are also three back up singers; Allison Dunn, Kerri Shannon and Dani McLane Shannon.

Sheldrake said with the nine of them

on stage they come pretty close to repro-ducing the Pink Floyd sound.

When Pink Folyd are live they have about three keyboardists, but Graham our keyboard player is quite amazing at what he does he has two keyboards on stage.

Tickets for the September 27 all-ages show are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. They can be purchased at Cranky Dog Music in Parksville or through the bands website www.thewallvi.ca.

Doors open a 7 p.m. the show starts at 8 p.m.
