The BC Coroners Service this week confirmed the identity of a man who drowned in a rafting ac-cident in the Stamp River near Port Alberni on July 15.

The man is Cory Donald Heinz, aged 22, from Qualicum Beach.

Heinz had travelled to the Stamp Falls Provincial Park and was raft-ing with two female friends on the Stamp River when he was thrown from the makeshift raft that he and his friends had made.

RCMP said the three were un-familiar with the river and entered the water above the falls. All three went over the falls.

Heinz was pulled from the river by passersby but was pronounced dead at the scene by BC Ambu-lance Service personnel.

The two Qualicum Beach wom-en he was tubing with were res-cued by Alberni Search and Rescue

water rescue technicians, who re-pelled down the steep banks with kayaks as one of the women clung to a rock in the river and the other huddled on a ledge on the opposite side of the river.

Although the two women were severely traumatized, they were otherwise uninjured.

Stamp Falls is considered a class five rapid, meaning it should only be tackled by the most experi-enced kayakers, if at all, and then only with the use of proper safety equipment.

Witnesses saw Heinz floating face down past the area where the girls were rescued, and he was brought to shore by civilians in the area at Slide Pool, Alberni Valley Rescue Squad spokesperson Mark Palmer said.

None of the three were appar-ently wearing life jackets.

Palmer said the rescue and re-covery efforts were among the most complicated he has ever seen in the 12 years he has been a squad member.

Volunteer swift water rescue technicians were dispatched to Stamp Falls, where they had to rap-pel down the steep canyon walls to reach the two women.

One of the women was in the water clinging to a rock and the other was trapped on a small ledge about six metres above the water-line.

Police push restraint when it comes to kidsRCMP to present program to help with child car seat safety

You might only be involved in a fender bend-er, but that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt your most precious asset — your children.

That’s why the Oceanside RCMP are push-ing a campaign to help educate parents and the public about the safety of children.

According to Transport Canada Statistics, children that are in a properly fitted, sized and harnessed car seat are 70 percent less likely to suffer a serious injury and 90 percent less likely to die in a motor vehicle crash.

The Oceanside RCMP now have an officer trained and certified as a Child Restraint Tech-nician. This will provide an excellent opportu-nity to get your child’s car seat checked and in-stalled correctly.

The Oceanside RCMP and Citizens on Patrol

are holding a free car seat clinic for parents or prospective parents in the Oceanside area.

The clinic will be held at the Oceanside RCMP detachment on Sunday July 28th, from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.

To book an appointment please contact the Oceanside RCMP at 250-248-6111 and tell them that you wish to book a car seat appoint-ment.

Prior to participating in the program, par-ents are urged to have the following informa-tion available: your child’s (or children’s) age and weight, the make, model and year of your vehicle and the specific car seat(s) you are wanting to have checked, including the year it was manufactured.

The first ever Sp-Arts camp hit high notes with kids in the area last week, as 22 youth and their leaders combined sports, arts and music.

The camp, which took place at the Coombs Fairgrounds, had kids writing songs, learning to play instruments, painting, playing basketball, floor hockey and badminton, and doing theatre exercises.

“There’s lots to do, I’m never bored (and) I enjoy every day,” said 11-year-old Jasmine Tom-czyk.

One of three camp facilitators, Allison Shaw, said the kids had a great time playing music and singing in the newly renovated Soundgarden facility.

“Some of these kids have never touched a guitar before and this afternoon they will play a song with the group,” she said on the last day of camp.

Arrowsmith Activity Coordinator, Kim Long-muir, who organized the camp said it was great reading the kids evaluations following the four days of camp.

“They all said they wished the camp could have gone on longer,” she said in an e-mail.

Danielle Buchanan takes a long look over the edge of the cliff at the foaming white wa-ter far, far below. She turns to

take one last look at her new husband and then turns her back — and jumps.

Although this is the first day of his life with her, Jeff Buchanan doesn’t flinch when his love leaps from the cliff. He knows she’s attached with a five-point harness to a heavy wire cable and with-in seconds is almost across the foam-ing gorge. When it’s his turn he is just as filled with excitement and derring-do as his new wife.

The Lower Mainland couple are on their honeymoon at the Ha’uukmin Tribal Park, which hosts West Coast Wild, a zipline adventure company lo-cated on Highway 4 about 40 minutes west of Port Alberni.

The site contains roughly a kilometre and a half with six ziplines, which take the Buchanans and the other members of the group on a two-hour tour through

the rainfor-est canopy and over the whitewater canyon of the Kennedy River. The lines vary in

length from a few hundred to a whop-ping 1,000 feet, giving adventure fans the ride of a lifetime in complete safety.

Ensuring that safety on this day are guides Riley Scherbers and C.J. Munro, one of whom zips across to catch the clients with a special braking device prior to their arrival on the other side, while his partner checks each harness prior to the big jump.

They have fun with it, too. Scherbers has one adventurer stand with her back to the drop and spread her arms over her head.

“On 10,” he said. “One ... two ... Go!”At that, he gives her a gentle push

and, with a surprised and delighted

screech, she’s off.The focus of the site is on fun, but

the guides point out natural features such as the edible wild blueberries and huckleberries beside the path as the group takes a short hike through the old growth forest between the lines.

This is the second year the West Coast Wild operation has been in busi-ness and even though it is located far from any amenities or other attrac-tions, it is drawing an increasing clien-tele of thrill-seekers as word filters out on websites such as Tripadvisor and others.

The adventure is for those aged 10

years or older, although the primary consideration is weight — the zippers need to have enough body mass to pro-pell themselves all the way across the line, thus avoiding the necessity for the guides to zip out to the rescue and haul them to the other side.

The final zip of the day takes us un-derneath a bridge over the river and back to the rough-and-ready tour cen-tre. The newlyweds are not just smiling, they’re glowing. They took the jump in more ways than one. It’s a good start.

Firefighters prepare to move injured swimmer at Top Bridge.

Top Bridge accident could have had a very different resultNEIL [email protected]

One man was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital with non life-threatening in-juries Tuesday afternoon after being injured at Top Bridge Regional Park.

Witnesses said the man had just jumped off a rock at the popular swimming hole on the Englishman River when a second swimmer did a back flip on top of him, landing on the man’s head.

The injured swimmer was helped out of the water and to the safety of a ledge before a rope rescue team from the Parksville Volunteer Fire Department arrived at the scene.

“When we got there he was packaged up on the clamshell stretcher by BC Ambulance and we put him in the basket stretcher and rigged up a rope for safety before we slid him up a lad-der,” said fire chief Doug Banks.

The swimmer, who complained of numb-ness in his neck as a result of the incident, was then taken by ambulance to hospital as a pre-caution.

The lesson to be learned from the incident, Banks said, was simple.

“Look before you leap,” he said.

Funding cuts hurt RDN emergency prep


In the event of an emergency, you want your local government to be ready to spring into action.

That jump could soon prove more difficult to do in the Regional District of Nanaimo however, said RDN emer-gency co-ordinator Jani Drew.

Drew’s comments came in light of the board of Public Safety Canada’s recent decision to eliminate the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP), which she said will signifi-cantly affect the Regional District of Nanaimo’s Emergency Preparedness Program, both in terms of training staff and in purchasing key equipment and supplies.

“The RDN applies for JEPP fund-ing annually to assist with purchasing emergency operations centre equip-ment, and with conducting training and emergency preparedness exercis-es,” Drew said. “The RDN will need to look at other options for funding these

important purchases when the JEPP program is eliminated in 2013.”

Public Safety Canada established the Joint Emergency Preparedness Pro-gram in October of 1980 as a cost-shar-ing arrangement with the provinces and territories.

The funding offered through the program encouraged governments to undertake emergency preparedness projects. As part of its Economic Ac-tion Plan 2012, the federal government ended the program to help reduce the deficit.

According to Public Safety Canada, “The original objectives of this pro-gram, namely, to enhance local emer-gency preparedness and response ca-pacity, have been met.”

The RDN Emergency Program has used JEPP funding annually to assist with the purchase of emergency sup-plies and equipment, and to provide training opportunities to enhance the RDN’s capacity for response and recov-ery in the event of a major emergency.

Since 2004, the RDN’s 50 per cent funding reimbursement from JEPP to-taled approximately $49,000.

In announcing the cuts in April, Gina Wilson, assistant deputy minister for Emergency Management and Re-gional Operations said the changes are expected to result in a leaner, more effi-cient and effective federal government engaged in the delivery of its core busi-ness areas

“Public Safety Canada remains com-mitted to ensuring a safe and resilient Canada and to the security of Canadi-ans and their communities,” she add-ed.

Arrowsmith Search and Rescue spokespersn Ken Neden said the cut shouldn’t impact his group.

“We never got a JEPP grant,” he said. “They were harder to get. We applied a couple of times but didn’t meet the qualifications. The situation had to have a more far reaching impact than just local. Provincial organizations would feel it more.”

Mandate of federal program has been met, says official

Set-Up

Two inflatable kayaks were also lowered by rope from a cement abutment, 25 metres above a tunnel that is part of the Stamp Falls fish lad-der. Two swift water technicians maneuvered the first kayak towards the woman in the water, equipped her with a life jacket and helmet, and pulled her into the kayak to take her down river to emergency personnel.

The second team of technicians had to cross the river, paddle under a log jammed across the canyon, and maneuver their kayak into posi-tion near the female on the ledge. After equip-ping the second female with safety equipment, they were able to lower her into the kayak then pull the kayak by rope back to the second tech-nician, and paddle down river to safety.

Coroner Willem Van Herk commended vol-unteers from both the Beaver Creek Fire De-partment and Alberni Valley Rescue Squad for their efforts in the rescue and recovery.

Van Herk and volunteers had to walk more than half an hour into the site between Beaver Creek Road and the river. “That’s an onerous task to come up trails like that,” he said.

B.C. Ambulance Service spokesperson Cath-erine Bianco said they dispatched three ambu-lances from Port Alberni’s station as well as a BCAS helicopter to the scene just before 4 p.m.

A celebration of Heinz’ life is scheduled for at The Whitley House, 478 Village Way, Qualicum Beach, this Saturday, July 21, starting at 3 p.m. Heinz’s family is asking that donations be made to Alberni Valley Rescue in lieu of flowers.

Stamp River claims QB manCONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

Temple Street upgrade gets go ahead

AUREN [email protected]

Parksville council gave the go ahead for preliminary design work on a $3.8 mil-lion upgrade of 2.1 km of Temple Street.

Phase one, the pre-liminary design work, was awarded to Koers & As-sociates Engineering for $197,639 including 10 per-cent contingency and taxes.

The phase will bring the design to about 75 per cent complete with conceptual drawings and cost estimates for council and an open house early next year.

The design stage will in-clude reviewing the current conditions and developing new ideas and options like separated cycling and walk-ing paths, traffic calming

measures, ways of dealing with drainage and the exist-ing roundabout that every-one agreed aren’t working very well.

The work is also complicated by the number of old road classifi-cations that exist along the length of the street.

Councillor Al Grier complained it was a lot of money just for design work and suggested four-laning the final two-lane stretch of Highway 19A through that area of the city should be a higher priority.

Chief administrative of-ficer Fred Manson pointed out that the traffic light by

the Temple Store will be done before this project and that discussions about ma-jor project priories would be better left for capital budget

deliberations.He said that

four-laning the highway for roughly four blocks would be more like tens of millions of dol-lars, quite dif-ferent from this

project.Mayor Chris Burger also

pointed out that there are a number of development properties along that stretch and they are hoping to wait for a developer to pay for the work rather than the tax pay-ers.

Grier also asked about awarding this contract with-out doing a public bidding process, but director of en-gineering Vaughn Figueira explained they reviewed statements of qualification (SOQ) for 17 consultants and “Koers was the overwhelm-ing top consultant,” scoring 80 points over their nearest competitor’s 70.

He said they don’t com-pare price at that stage — “we have a good idea how much it should cost.” In-stead they focus on getting the best consultant and that helps the city save money on the construction.

Phase two will be the de-tailed final design work and tendering process for phase three — construction.

Changing highway to four lanes not in the cards right now

moving forward to shift patient care priorities from acute care (hospitals, emergency rooms and surgical suites) into community care de-livery. Some health areas, like Fraser Health have already begun this new “integrated” model of care by having primary care (physi-cians) and community care (Home Care, non-profit agencies, etc.) staff collaborate so that people challenged with chronic health condi-tions can quickly and efficiently access the supports they need in their home community.

In January of 2010, the Ministry set out their plan by indicating “high needs patients, frail seniors and patients with chronic diseases will be serviced through a coordinated and personal health care plan” supported by a fam-ily physician, medical specialists, nurses, phar-macists and other “allied health profession-als.”

An example of this new delivery means that

patients with higher needs will be provided fast-er access to med-ical consulta-tions with specialists as family physicians are provided “im-mediate access to specialists” through tele-phone consulta-

tions.

According to the Ministry, “a key part of the new primary health care initiatives at the com-munity level is the introduction of Divisions of Family Practice.” As our mandate indicates, the Oceanside Division is working collabora-tively with the Vancouver Island Health Au-thority (VIHA) and other community partners to make health care delivery more timely and effective.

“The shift … while managing growing health care costs” will also “ensure sustain-ability,” the Ministry has stated.*

Oceanside Division initiativesWithin this new model called, Integrated

Primary and Community Care, our Division has been offering the Community Health Fo-rum series to keep patients well informed about chronic and complex health care condi-tions (dementia, osteoarthritis, prostate dis-ease, addiction and mental health, etc.). We believe that bringing health care facts to com-munity residents supports them as they part-ner with their physician in meeting their health care needs.

The Division has also been working closely with the Vancouver Island Health Authority in reviewing and striving to enhance services of-

fered in residential care facilities. A more ef-fective model of service will soon be under dis-cussion at a number of community tables.

Hospice, Respite and Palliative Care within the community are also a focus of the Oceans-ide Division. We’ve begun communications to improve supports for hospice and palliative care. We are meeting with the Vancouver Is-land Health Authority, pharmacists, care pro-viders, the local hospice society and commu-nity service stakeholders and will expand discussions in the fall by inviting community residents to participate.

Community residents are invited to participate

The Oceanside Division would like to encourage local residents to have an influence upon the new model of health care delivery by working with the Oceanside Division or by becoming involved in Patients as Partners (www.impactbc.ca/patients-as-partners); Patient Voices (www.patientvoices.ca); and to review an important provincial website, https://www.thinkshealthbc.ca.

If you would like to have your organization or agency meet with the Division, please contact our coordinator ([email protected]). To learn more about Divisions of Family Practice or about the Oceanside Division, please visit www.divisionsbc.ca. If you would like access to our 2011-12 Annual General Report, it is available electronically through our coordinator.

We look forward to serving you another year and we also look forward to working with you even more closely.

Dr. Mark Morris

There will be no forum events held this summer. We would like to invite you to consider

participating in health advisory groups in the area. To apply, please contact the Oceanside

Division at [email protected]

An example of this new delivery system means that patients with higher needs will be provided faster access to medical consultations with specialists as family physicians are provided “immediate access to specialists” through telephone consultations.

Not all health issues are life-and-death! Take foot odour, for example. The combination of

sweat, heat and bacteria can lead to a pretty stinky situation! Fortunately, the situation is manageable: bathe your feet daily, treat your footwear to a bath too and give them every other day off, wear breathable socks, spend a few hours per day barefoot

and consider using anti-perspirants or deodorants. Clean, dry and cool is the rule!

Vertigo – specifically BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) – is the sense that one’s surroundings are moving… when they

aren’t. It can lead to nausea, dizziness and dangerous falls. It is an issue with the inner ear, where the sense of balance is centred. Tiny crystals become dislodged and lead to erratic signals to the brain. It can usually be treated with a simple canalith repositioning procedure – see your doctor.

The recent sport-drink phenomenon is leading to health issues. Generally, they are not considered necessary for average daily

activity and were designed for elite and extreme athletic pursuits. Calories are often high and dentists are reporting that the acids are leading to dental erosion, tooth sensitivity and cavities – particularly in teens, many of whom are consuming these drinks daily! Water still refreshes best!

What’s new and trendy isn’t always the best thing for optimal health. Our pharmacists can help guide you through the mire of

information to the gems of true wisdom.

Health MattersSand sculpting festival looks like it’s a hitLISSA [email protected]

People are pouring in this year to the The Quality Foods Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition and Exhibition (Beach Fest) and organizer Trish Smith said they have in part the weather to thank for that.

“We received almost 10,000 people through just in the opening weekend whereas last year it was closer to 6,000 be-cause of the rain.”

Smith said she’s getting good feedback about having daily entertainment this year, and people can check the website for the most up-to-date listings.

This weekend there is a number of exciting acts to catch, including circus performer Jake West, yoga on the beach, a local fashion show and former Parksville resident Alexandria Maillot.

Coming up July 28 and 29 Artisans on the Beach returns, with over 75 artisans set to showcase their art forms and sell their wares. This happens from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days down in Parksville’s Community Park.

Artisans can still register for this event online until Sun-day, July 22.

For more information on Beach Fest visit the website www.parksvillebeachfest.ca.

commentary

As anyone who has been in the water with a dolphin, a shark or marine mammal can easily tell you, human beings are not really made for swim-ming. We can do it and some of us can even do it quite well — for a hu-

man— but it’s not really our natural habitat.That fact should probably be kept in mind this

summer as residents of District 69 head to the lakes, rivers and ocean beaches to cool off.

It’s fun to play in the water, to dive, to surf, to swim, but we should all make a point of keeping our wits very much about us while we’re doing it. The difference between a lovely family day at the beach and a horrifying trip to the morgue can sometimes rest on the smallest, briefest lack of focus.

You swim up under the raft and come up too soon, hitting your head, you surf into another per-son, you jump off a cliff into the water without first checking what’s there ... It doesn’t take much.

We’ve already had one tragedy in the area — caused at least in part by someone making a poor decision — and it would be great if we didn’t have to go through another.

It’s not just swimmers who have to be careful. Boaters too need to keep their wits about them.

That starts with carrying all the necessary safety equipment on board whenever you leave the shore and with using it properly— such as actually wear-ing your life jacket instead of using it as a pillow.

One would hope it would be unnecessary to men-tion the need to keep water fun and alcohol fun en-tirely separate, but as we have seen again and again across this country, people in fact do need to be told — or rather, they need to actually pay attention to the many messages to this effect that are already out there.

Let’s make sure that when we’re shivering in the rain this November, we are able to remember having fun in the sun without having to realize that it was the last time we saw a family member alive.

MOVIE A REAL TREATLast night’s showing of The Lorax was

wonderful! There must have been over a thousand people watching this great movie. Thanks so much to all the sponsors.

I for one appreciate this particular show being shown to such a large and varied au-dience.

I hope from the bottom of my heart that everyone who watched did lots of thinking and discussing about the message.

To me, Dr. Seuss clearly illustrates the need for humans to create as little waste as possible in order for all living beings, hu-mans included, to have a healthy and happy life.

If even half of last night’s audience con-tinues or begins to use reusable dishes in-stead of disposables at all times — in school, at work, at parties and bbqs, for take-out and for eat-in restaurants — everywhere, then The Lorax and Dr. Seuss will have made a great impact on our community.

Three cheers for the Lorax who speaks for the trees and tree cheers for the spon-sors who brought us last night’s movie in the park.

HAIDA BOLTONParksville

U.S. COPS STAY HOMEI am so against allowing U.S. law enforce-

ment officials being allowed to make arrests on Canadian soil.

Is the reverse true, that Canadian officials can make arrests on U.S. soil?

This is taking away our sovereignty. I don’t like the idea that we are giving away

our sovereignty bit by bit. Something like this should be put to a vote.

Stephen Harper may be our prime minis-ter and may have a majority government but that does not give him the right to change the fundamental aspects of our democracy.

He should repeal this decision. I voted for him but I do not like the way

he is railroading this government with his majority which is starting to look like a dic-tatorship.

He had no right to push through the last enormous bill that buried this and other measures as minor subsections without due process in the House.

If he does not listen to Canadians he will lose the next election which will be a shame as he has done a lot of good since he came in.

DIANNE ACKERMANParksville

DEER OH DEER!Parksville is a lovely, enjoyable city but it

is being overrun by deer and rabbits. We were a garden city but no more. Not

only have water restrictions limited flower gardens, lawns and vegetable patches but grazing animals have eliminated almost all hope of growing a successful garden.

Councils encourage home owners to pro-duce their own vegetables but do nothing about the explosion of deer and rabbits.

Fencing may help with rabbits but a six foot barrier is nothing to deer. Repellents are soon ignored and netting is yanked apart.

Vegetable patches and flower gardens are now restaurants for these animals and of little use to those who plant the seeds. Never

mind the possibility of lime disease, an at-tack by an aggressive deer or a car accident, we can’t cull them because they are so cute.

Predators such as cougars are killed or removed the moment they are spotted, thus the destructive vegetarian populations become totally fearless and increase their numbers exponentially. If we remove the natural predators, then we humans must become the predators and keep these un-checked animal populations under control.

WEEKLY SPECIAL


Have you ever put up with a minor annoyance for weeks or months and one day fixed the problem then spent some time wondering why you

put up with it for so long in the first place? That was my experience recently when a

heavy concrete birdbath developed a distinct list. When filling it, the port side dripped water into a flower bed and the starboard side was high and dry.

Due to the size and weight of the thing, it was not something I could safely fiddle with and I kept forgetting to ask visitors to give me a hand. Well, a few days ago a friend came to the house and I sud-denly remembered the birdbath. Within minutes the list was corrected, the annoyance banished forever. A tiny, silly thing, but our garden instantly became much more appealing to me.

I once bought a comfortable-looking pair of walking shoes bearing the name of a big-time golfer on the label. I thought that he should know about walking comfort for sure. I now doubt that Mr. Golfer ever heard of the gang who make the shoes.

They felt like wearing two overstuffed pillows and walking in them was more a question of keeping your balance than comfortably strolling. But, I put up with them for years be-fore one day saying, “Enough is enough.” I walked resolutely to the garbage bin and rid myself of them, celebrity label and all. I felt free, liberated from a petty annoyance of my own making.

I looked up the definitions of nuisance and annoyance and learned they are pretty much the same thing, irrita-tions of one kind or another causing mild anger. In my mind I categorize nuisances as people centred and annoyances

as the environment around me. For example, a mosquito in the bedroom at 2 a.m. is a real an-noyance while a drunk I once worked for was a blasted nuisance. A fine distinction.

A friend of mine recently suggested (jokingly, I hope) that I was becoming a curmudgeon so I’m being careful here to remain my sweet, reason-able self. To continue. I suppose the opposite of those of us who endure petty annoyances are the hyper critical people who must have everything in their lives just perfect and they go through all sorts of trouble and expense to keep everything near perfect.

The lawn must look like a putting green, the car show-room spotless, the kids marvels of evolution. Hah! A lifetime of that sort of behaviour and one risks landing up in the lu-natic asylum while the rest of the world serenely goes on in their slovenly ways, not knowing or caring that you are no longer on the scene.

When we lived in the East, I had a lovely old wooden boat with a 30 horsepower Grey Marine engine that puttered along quietly and provided a perfect but worn platform for a day of relaxed fishing.

I invited an acquaintance along one day. We had barely cast off when he was up on his feet emptying ashtrays and polishing a wooden railing. He then decided to polish up the dashboard and the running light covers. The boat was nearly 30 years old and was simply beyond such nice housekeeping flourishes. So much for a restful day on the water. He was never invited back.

The point I want to make is that many of the things that bother us exist only by our own sufferance. Nuisance or an-noyance, be rid of it.

There, that wasn’t too curmudgeonly, was it?

SECOND THOUGHTSBy Harvey Dorval

The curmudgeon and the birdbath

lettersHAT GOES OFF TO QB COUNCIL

My congratulations to Dean Dreger in his letter “Wheels off the Bus” appearing in the July 13 issue of THE NEWS.

It is so refreshing to read a thoughtful, analytical opinion without laying blame on one or more council members.

His observation that the town gained 610 inhabitants in the 65 to 85 year old age bracket from 2006-2011 suggests the town gear itself up to become the retail antique capital of Vancouver Island.

Look at the success of Glendale, Arizona.I do not view councillor Bill Luchtmeur’s statement that

the council has too much control as being out of line but rather believe his statement is one of frustration because there is a lack of flexibility on the part of the town.

The town is desperate for some types of development but gone are the days of an abundance of what is referred to as Triple “A” tenants which encourage developers to do their thing — develop.

With the shortage of retail demand this means future de-velopments will have no need to include a commercial/retail component.

A number of years ago a potential development located on First Avenue adjacent to the town hall was brought for-ward for consideration, however, the developer gave up in frustration because of the town’s inflexibility for a slight height variance and the town’s demands, over and above the

regular DCC, for an excessive financial contribution to cover specific infrastructure improvement far removed from the site.

This site remains undeveloped, thus, a lost opportunity resulting in low tax revenue.

Someone at the time didn’t understand economics, the art of compromise or flexibility.

Many years ago society demanded large lots and urban sprawl spread like wildfire with 75-foot frontage becoming the norm.

Now the old Hudson Bay lots of 33 feet look rather sen-sible as does increased densification.

However, densification and economics are greatly influ-enced by height.

Throughout BC there are many golf courses whose main core of membership are seniors who can often be reluctant to approve finances for improvements and see little need for change.

Without the necessary improvements it is very difficult to attract younger members.

Does the Town of Qualicum Beach fit into this scenario?My hat is off to the Council for we are in transitionary

times and thinking outside the box is essential even though it will agitate some people but the time has come and all av-enues must be explored.

It’s all about our choices

How can there be par-ents when children make poor choices and encounter bad situations? How can

there be a government when peo-ple evade taxes and disobey the law in countless ways? How can there be a God with so much suf-fering in the world?

None of the above statement-questions make any sense at all.

I know that one of the most dif-ficult things as a parent is letting go of your chil-dren knowing that the road will not always be smooth.

I suspect that one of the constant tensions of government is the process of taking direction to see a stronger, more prosperous society in the midst of a cultural value which preserves free-dom.

I’m certain that God does not take pleasure in the tragedies and injustices we face.

If parents insulated their children from all germs, potential harm, bad influences and the need to make any decisions, we would not ap-plaud them as loving but rather abusive.

If a government guarded its citizens from any independence of direction or decision, we would call it a dictatorship or military-rule.

Why then would we assume that because bad things happen in the world God doesn’t care or that there is no God?

At the same time, God, just as we would an-ticipate loving parents and effective govern-ments would do, sets in place boundaries and guidelines for our safety and so that we can live fulfilled, joyous lives.

The simple truth is that children, citizens, people sometimes make choices contrary to these boundar-ies thus negatively impacting them-selves and others.

These decisions tend to have a compounding effect shaping the culture of a family, community and even nation. We all live with the consequences of our own and oth-ers’ sin.

In the midst of this, the God who honours our freedom of choice

continues to beckon us, continues to reveal His love and goodness, continues to say, “Come back to my ways;” “Come back to me.”

I am absolutely convinced in the presence of God and that His character and ways are good.

Think about it. “Love your neighbour.” “Take care of orphans and widows.” “Choose life.” “I will give you rest.” “Be healed.” (These are some samples from the Bible of who God is.)

My response to this beckoning was to ac-knowledge my own wandering from God’s ways — to recognize my sin — and then to confess that God’s ways are best.

This is the beginning of a new life, of being born from above. Jesus talks about this as re-corded in chapter 3 of the Gospel of John in the Bible. Check it out.

We will continue to live in a world with injus-tice and suffering, but there is a God who yearns for me to walk in relationship with Him in bringing relief and healing to this world. That’s His longing for you, too.

Brian Robertson is a pastor with the Christian Fellowship Centre.

PASTOR’S POINTBy Brian Robertson

Knox helps streamkeepersKnox United Church, through its out-

reach committee, raised $1,510 for a local organization which is putting forth effort to enhance the community.

They chose the Mid Vancouver Island Habitat Enhancement Society (MVIHES).

The group has been working in Parksville for several years to encourage residents to appreciate the value of the area’s wetlands, shorelines and streams.

They have undertaken projects with stu-dents to inform them and to awaken their interest in local water habitat.

Receiving the funding for MVIHES, Faye Smith said they are thrilled that Knox’s Outreach Committee has chosen MVIHES school field trip program to support.

“This is a very important program for us,” she said. “The children we take to experience nature at the creeks, wetlands and estuaries today will more likely under-stand that we need to work for healthy eco-systems tomorrow.”

Smith went on to say that the outreach committee should be commended for sup-porting the local environment.

Youngsters can keep busy cruising in mini cars, grocery shopping, painting with parrots and playing with science kits this summer, as Storybook Village has re-opened for its second season.

Storybook Village in an outdoor, child-size village at Qualicum Beach Elementary School for all kids in the area to enjoy free, complete with a fire hall, theatre, bank and grocery store, among other playhouses. The buildings are connected by little roadways with stop lights that children can peddle through in a mini car of their choice. There is also an alphabet gar-den with vegetables and flowers. The Village is a project of the region’s Building Learning To-gether (BLT) program, a coalition of community partners that support early learning for children ages zero to six and their families.

There are quite a few new community part-nerships this year, said director of BLT, Deborah Davenport, including Science World. With the help of some community partners, like the lo-cal Rotary groups and the Regional District of Nanaimo, a number of Science kits were put to-gether for the kids to use in the playhouses. This will be a pilot project for the province, Daven-port said, and could potentially extend to other communities.

Return community partners that will have on-site volunteers interacting with the kids in-clude the local libraries, Nanaimo recycling ex-change, The Qualicum Beach Museum and The World Parrot Refuge. There will also be seniors, middle and high school students helping out.

“I love the fact that the community is kind of rallying around Storybook [Village] and Al-phabet Garden and they sort of find a home for themselves there,” Davenport said.

Forward House ready to fire up the barbieAUREN [email protected]

Everyone is invited to the fun annual Forward House summer barbecue tonight, July 20.

The fun evening and awareness raising event will include a $5 barbecue dinner (carnivore and vegan varieties), treats, games, bake sale, face painting and entertainment as well as a great social atmosphere promised executive director Carol Richardson.

An early bird yard sale starts at 4 p.m., with the main bar-becue running from 5 to 8 p.m. and a silent auction starting at 6 p.m.

Each year they fundraise for different specific projects, raising money for some new windows and plumbing, Rich-ardson said.

“Please join us for some fun and good eats and help strengthen our community,” she said of the event which will

help the society continue to support District 69 adults with mental health and addiction recovery concerns with the rel-evant tools for healthy autonomy and community inclusion.

At the barbecue they will launch their second annual community art project, leaving a canvas out front as they did last summer for people to contribute.

They will also launch their second annual virtual walk, continuing on from last year’s walk across Canada to tackle Europe this time.

Richardson said they have been lucky with great weather in previous years and there will be plenty of fun family out-door activities.

Contact Forward House to join the walk or sponsor a walker. For more information call 250-954-0785 or e-mail [email protected].

Forward House is located at 129 E. Jensen Avenue., across from the Parksville Civic and Technology Centre.

For the second year running, the Forever Yung Dance Studio in Parksville is offering DanceSport Scholar-ships to local kids.

DanceSport is the official name given to the sport of competi-tive ballroom dancing and dance instructor Ken Yung admitted that it can be chal-lenging to get kids to check out ballroom dancing so they are offering scholarships as enticement.

He said it is par-ticularly hard to con-vince young boys to get into DanceSport but over the years the studio has recruited more and more young men even though there may be a stigma attached to it.

Yung said they are trying to get the mes-sage out that the sport of ballroom dancing comes with many benefits and that is why he got involved when he was in uni-versity.

“The main thing that attracted me to

ballroom dancing was that I hated just free-style dancing because I didn’t know what to do. There was no structure.

“When I went to my first dance class I was hooked because there was a right way of doing it ... there was a technique involved. Maybe there are some other boys out there

like me who think unstructured dance makes no sense. Ball-room has structure and makes sense. It is very clear,” he ex-plained.

Yung advised that kids involved in ball-room dance have much higher levels of achievement and per-sonal development.

When they get

involved in compe-tition, the benefits become even more prominent, as they learn to set goals, ac-cept defeat gracefully, and build confidence in themselves and what they can accom-plish.

Yung agreed that DanceSport has gone through a revolution over the past decade.

Today, the com-bination of artistry and athleticism has brought DanceSport into the forefront of mainstream me-dia. TV shows such as Dancing With the Stars and So you Think You Can Dance? both showcase the challenging and re-warding aspects of the exciting world of DanceSport.

The dance school has 10 scholarships to give away for kids between seven and 11 years who live within the Oceanside area.

No experience is required and absolute beginner dancers are welcome to apply for a scholarship each valued at $200.

The scholarship in-cludes a placement in the Kids Dance Class program. A scholar-ship application form is available at the studio located at 281 East Island Highway in Parksville. Call 250-240-0533 for more in-formation.

The Forever Yung studio will also be of-fering free Zumba fitness classes in the park.

Over the past seven years Qualicum Cat Res-cue has found homes for over 1,200 cats and kittens and they need the communities help to continue their good work.

All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and treated for parasites before being put up for adoption. The cats roam freely through Qua-

licum Pet Foods and Grooming and visitors to the store enjoy interacting with the friendly fe-lines.

The public is invited to an open house on Saturday to check out the newly renovated fa-cility, celebrate the 1,200th kitten adopted, in-teract with the cats up for adoption, and learn more. The open house runs from 2 to 4 p.m. at Qualicum Pet Foods, home of Qualicum Cat Rescue at 104-166 First Ave West.

Kwalikumians for Kenya

NEIL HORNER PHOTO

Shaleena Hemingway and Shaleigh Spence want

to help Kenya.

August 3 fundraiser to help bring water, literacy and healthcare to African villageNEIL [email protected]

Shaleigh Spence wants to make a positive difference in the world, and she’s hoping Quali-cum Beach residents will help her do it.

The Grade 12 student at Kwalikum Second-ary School is organizing a special fundraising event to raise money for a village in Kenya.

The idea, she said, is to raise $1,000, which will be sent to a village in the African nation through the charitable group, Free the Children.

The money, she added, will be used in the charity’s Adopt a Village program, which will then use it to provide health care, education and a well for drinking water.

The fundraiser, entitled Kwalikum Kids and Community for Kenya, will feature snacks, a si-lent auction and a show of the finest talent of Kwalikum Secondary students.

Although she said she is not sure which Ke-nyan village will be the recipient of the funds raised, Spence said she plans to travel there next year to see how the funds are being spent.

She said local businesses have been gener-ous in their donations to the silent auction, but

she would welcome any other donations that come in.

She is joined in her project by pal Shaleena Hemingway, who has proven invaluable in helping to organize the event.

“I got involved because I know Shaleigh sometimes bites off more than she can chew and I wanted to give her a hand,” she said.

The fundraiser will kick off at 7 p.m. on Au-gust 3 at the Qualicum Beach Community Hall.

Watch out for QB shutterbugsQualicum Beach will be swarming with pho-

tographers on Saturday, July 28, as local shut-terbugs document what’s going on for a full a 24-hour period.

It’s not because a major movie star has come to town, but the shooters will be on the lookout for superstars anyway — the people of Quali-cum Beach.

They’ll be shooting for an upcoming feature in THE NEWS entitled, A Day in the Life of Quali-cum Beach.

That day is no ordinary one either, as it marks the 100th anniversary of The Old School House arts centre.

Besides photographers snapping images of daily life, the day will feature the Grand Prix d’Art, where artists will be stationed around the town to compete a painting of a town feature within a three-hour time limit.

That’s not all. TOSH will also present a small festival of the arts, called Arts in Action in the adjacent parking lot.

Consider a donor-advised giving program for your favorite charityDOLLARS AND SENSEBy Jim Grant

It is not unusual for those making charita-ble donations to have concerns. Consider, for example, the case of a person wishing to make a legacy dona-tion to one or more of his or her favorite charities. Typical con-cerns may be as fol-lows:

How quickly will the money be spent? It is not uncommon for donors to want to cre-ate a legacy — to pro-vide support for years to come, or even in perpetuity. The donor may feel some appre-hension with respect to providing a charity with a lump sum, with the freedom to spend it without any control. A preferred option may be to have the money invested, with an annual amount going to one or more charities.

In such a case the donor may want to have some input as to how their donation is invested.

A donor may have a number of pre-ferred charities today, but may wish to have some flexibility to look at other options in the future.

A donor may wish to have some input as to how donations to a charity are used.

There are a num-ber of ways to deal with these concerns, but in many cases the solutions are complex and expensive, and require significant ad-ministration.

An alternative may be to consider a Do-nor-Advised Giving Program. Offered by a number of Canadian institutions these pro-grams simplify much of the legal, account-ing and administra-tive issues involved in

setting up a charitable foundation, and in the process provide a simple and effec-tive way of addressing

the above-mentioned concerns for Canadi-ans wishing to sup-port their favorite charities.

William Langworthy Fox (Bill)August 31, 1917 – July 7, 2012

We are sad to announce the passing of “Barometer Bill”. Bill was born and grew up in Vancouver. He is survived by his wife, Etta, of 70 years and his sons Rick (Aileen) and Harvey (Dee) and his grandson Christopher (Stacey) and granddaughters Shannon, Darcy, Corinna and Victoria plus several great grandchildren, nieces Joanne, Barbara, Dian & nephew Robert. Bill was predeceased by his brothers, Jack & Morley and his dear grandson, Ryan in 2010.Bill loved radio broadcasting and worked in it all his life. He started out at CKOV in Kelowna in 1941 but soon came to CKWX in Vancouver and then to CKNW in 1944 as their fi rst Program Director when Bill Rea opened that station. Bill later moved to Seattle where he worked at KIRO and KOMO for 10 years in the 1950’s, returning to CKNW and fi nally with Joe Chesney at CJJC in Langley until he retired in 1982. Bill enjoyed putting on his old “78” record program on Sunday evenings. He and Etta retired to Qualicum Beach in 1984 where they enjoyed life for another 28 years.

There will be no service by Bill’s request, but there will be a gathering of family and friends in

the fall to celebrate his life.Many thanks to Dr. Biglow for all his care over the years

and to all the nurses and staff at “The Gardens in Qualicum Beach” and Dr. Fletcher for their wonderful care.

God still heals and is the kindest person you’ll ever meet!

In loving memory of Ria de Wilde who passed away on June 21st, 2012. Ria lived her life with love, grace and a gentleness that touched everyone who knew her. Spirituality was the core of her being and the essence of her love for everyone she met. She devoted her life to taking care of her special needs clients, especially Buddy and Harry who were with her the longest. As in all aspects of her life, Ria faced her diagnosis of leukemia with dignity, acceptance and peacefulness as she passed into spirit.

She is survived by her daughter Susanne (Ruhl); son-in-law Burke; granddaughters Emma & Elisabeth; sister Christel Thie (Bjorn), brother Hans de Wilde (Willy), former husband Gerard Klomp, and other family members in Holland.

Old King Koel was a Merry Old Soul and a merry old age is he!Oh, there is none so rare, as can compare to King Koel and sons of three!He called for his cake, and he called for his boat and he

called for his camper too! He smiles and he waves, as he sets out to sea, singing...

BY JAMES [email protected]

It was trial by fire for a couple local black belts recently, as they made their debuts at the Senior National Taekwondo Champi-onships, and as expected, both did their club proud.

In action on the mats in Toronto June 28-29 and fight-ing in the Fin weight category (-46kg), Parksville Taekwondo Academy’s Alison Kells showed plenty of pluck, winning two of her three bouts and bagging a bronze medal for her efforts.

Small in stature but big on heart, skill and determination, Kells qualified first in B.C. after two separate team trial events, and earned her spot as the top-ranked fighter on her team at the nationals, where she thumped her first opponent from Alberta 9-2, then beat her second oppo-nent from Ontario 9-7.

Kells, an easy going pharma-cist by day, came up just short in a hard-fought semi final to an-other Ontario woman who went on to win silver.

“Everyone from the club is so proud of Alison,” said PTA coach Brett Fee, who made the trip to the big smoke in support of his players, pointing out Kells, 31, only started training four years ago, “so to be the third best fighter in Canada in that short of time is such a great accomplish-

ment.”Played out at the Sheraton

Hotel Grand Ballroom in down-town TO, the nationals, points out Fee, “is not like a regular regional tournament where ev-eryone gets a medal. To win a

medal at nationals is a rare and amazing accomplishment for anyone, let alone from a smaller community like Parksville. Our school is the only club on the Island to have ever produced athletes who have medaled at

the senior nationals, and that in-cludes schools from Victoria and Nanaimo.”

Worth noting is that all five of the other women in Kells’ di-vision were from large urban centres “where there are many different training opportunities with other great athletes.”

“We are doing our best here in Parksville, and I am very hap-py how far Alison has come, and how far we have come as a pro-gram.”

Also in the mix representing PTA at the Sr. Nats was 18-year-old Colin Warren who had a good showing in a very tough and competitive featherweight division (-68kg).

“He did well,” said Fee, point-ing out the dedicated teen, who makes the trip from his home-town Courtenay to train with PTA, earned an impressive 9-2 win over an opponent from On-tario, and even though he was eliminated from the competi-tion and did not earn a medal, “he really fought hard, and only fell short by one point (6-5) against the former Junior Na-tional Champion from Quebec (who went on to win silver). Co-lin held his own, and looked like he belonged out there,” said Fee. One of Colin’s losses was decid-ed in overtime.

Warren, said Fee, “is relatively new to the national competition

scene, and him being only 18, he can only improve from here. He has a lot of goals and drive, and as long as he continues to work on the areas he needs to to im-prove, the results will come.”

“It was good,” Warren said of the nationals. “I won a fight and I didn’t get destroyed in the oth-ers.”

Looking ahead, Warren is off to Korea in August for two months of training, and said he’ll continue his quest to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Worth noting is that both fighters attended the US Open Taekwondo Championships in Las Vegas last February in prepa-ration for the Canadian Nation-als, and with over 1,500 athletes from 63 countries (making it the biggest taekwondo tournament in the world), it was definitely and eye opener.

“Oh yeah,” Alison chuckled. “That was amazing.”

The nationals, she went on to say, “was harder than I thought it was going to be actually, but it was a lot of fun.”

Kells, who was raised in small-town Saskatchewan, said the two big tournaments — The Sr. Nats also served as the national championships for poomse and for colour belts and featured 500 athletes — “has definitely made me hungrier... definitely.”

Alison Kells and Colin Warren after the taekwondo nationals.

The greens at Parksville Lawn Bowling Club got a good workout last weekend, as 38 players turned out for the 2012 BC Mens and Women’s Championships.

There were 10 local men playing and 16 from other clubs for a total field of 26. On the other side of the draw, there were four local ladies and eight from out of town.

According to PLBC’s Carol Bucyk, the men’s playdowns were held in Parksville and Port Alberni, while the women had theirs in Courtenay. Players for both groups came to compete from Parksville, Qua-licum, Courtenay, Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Victoria, Vancouver, Richmond and Kelow-na in a double knockout competition.

“By Sunday morning, all of the local Is-land clubs players were finished and those who were going for gold, silver and bronze came from the Mainland,” said Bycyk.

In the men’s final, Steve Santana, 31, knocked off defending champion Chris Grahame to win gold. Steve’s dad, German

Santana, who has won the provincials himself, was third.

In singles, the winner is the first one to 21. The gold medalists advance to the 2012 Canadian Championships slated for Mon-treal Aug. 18-26.

On the ladies side of the draw, it may have been Josephine Lee over Rita Pat-terson in the final, but it was Katelyn Bri-erly’s bronze medal win that had the locals buzzing.

“It was great,” Bucyk chuckled af-

ter, adding Brierly, from Victoria, “is a young’en, she’s all of 21, and she’s just wonderful to watch.”

“It is important,” she confirmed. “A lot of time people have this perception of lawn bowling being only for seniors and retired people and that’s not the case. Some of the best bowlers in the world right now are younger, they’re coming up through the ranks... they’re dedicated and you can seen them improving, so that’s wonderful.”

“It was exciting, it really was — we had bowlers from all over coming to play here, and we saw some exceptional lawn bowl-ing,” she said, adding “I love to play the game, but it’s great fun to just sit back and watch sometimes, especially at that level.”

NEXT UP: PLBC wil be hosting the an-nual Parksville Men’s and Ladies Triples tournament July 28-29.

It was trial by fire for a couple local black belts recently, as they made their debuts at the Senior National Taekwondo Champi-onships, and as expected, both did their club proud.

In action on the mats in Toronto June 28-29 and fight-ing in the Fin weight category (-46kg), Parksville Taekwondo Academy’s Alison Kells showed plenty of pluck, winning two of her three bouts and bagging a bronze medal for her efforts.

Small in stature but big on heart, skill and determination, Kells qualified first in B.C. after two separate team trial events, and earned her spot as the top-ranked fighter on her team at the nationals, where she thumped her first opponent from Alberta 9-2, then beat her second oppo-nent from Ontario 9-7.

Kells, an easy going pharma-cist by day, came up just short in a hard-fought semi final to an-other Ontario woman who went on to win silver.

“Everyone from the club is so proud of Alison,” said PTA coach Brett Fee, who made the trip to the big smoke in support of his players, pointing out Kells, 31, only started training four years ago, “so to be the third best fighter in Canada in that short of time is such a great accomplish-

ment.”Played out at the Sheraton

Hotel Grand Ballroom in down-town TO, the nationals, points out Fee, “is not like a regular regional tournament where ev-eryone gets a medal. To win a

medal at nationals is a rare and amazing accomplishment for anyone, let alone from a smaller community like Parksville. Our school is the only club on the Island to have ever produced athletes who have medaled at

the senior nationals, and that in-cludes schools from Victoria and Nanaimo.”

Worth noting is that all five of the other women in Kells’ di-vision were from large urban centres “where there are many different training opportunities with other great athletes.”

“We are doing our best here in Parksville, and I am very hap-py how far Alison has come, and how far we have come as a pro-gram.”

Also in the mix representing PTA at the Sr. Nats was 18-year-old Colin Warren who had a good showing in a very tough and competitive featherweight division (-68kg).

“He did well,” said Fee, point-ing out the dedicated teen, who makes the trip from his home-town Courtenay to train with PTA, earned an impressive 9-2 win over an opponent from On-tario, and even though he was eliminated from the competi-tion and did not earn a medal, “he really fought hard, and only fell short by one point (6-5) against the former Junior Na-tional Champion from Quebec (who went on to win silver). Co-lin held his own, and looked like he belonged out there,” said Fee. One of Colin’s losses was decid-ed in overtime.

Warren, said Fee, “is relatively new to the national competition

scene, and him being only 18, he can only improve from here. He has a lot of goals and drive, and as long as he continues to work on the areas he needs to to im-prove, the results will come.”

“It was good,” Warren said of the nationals. “I won a fight and I didn’t get destroyed in the oth-ers.”

Looking ahead, Warren is off to Korea in August for two months of training, and said he’ll continue his quest to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Worth noting is that both fighters attended the US Open Taekwondo Championships in Las Vegas last February in prepa-ration for the Canadian Nation-als, and with over 1,500 athletes from 63 countries (making it the biggest taekwondo tournament in the world), it was definitely and eye opener.

“Oh yeah,” Alison chuckled. “That was amazing.”

The nationals, she went on to say, “was harder than I thought it was going to be actually, but it was a lot of fun.”

Kells, who was raised in small-town Saskatchewan, said the two big tournaments — The Sr. Nats also served as the national championships for poomse and for colour belts and featured 500 athletes — “has definitely made me hungrier... definitely.”

Stay tuned.

It was a long time coming, but Mark Kiefer has been making up for lost days.

“Oh yeah,” he laughed when The News caught up with him under a blazing sun, where else, down at Parksville Bay.

“It was so slow in June, it was terrible, but it’s picked up big time now,” he said, then made the point “there’s tons of Ger-man people coming to Parksville this

year, especially for windsurfing — we’ve taught eight families already which I thought was kind of neat.”

“Oh God yea,” he said when asked if he’s enjoying his ‘other office’. “There’s a really good beach vibe going on down there... everybody’s smiling and happy and having a good time.”

Kiefer has been helping out down at Windsurfing Parksville — located near the Beach Club and the place to go for

lessons or to rent boards for windsurfing and paddleboardng — for years, giving lessons to kids and adults alike in Parks-ville Bay.

A fixture down by the bay for five years now with business hours tied to the tide, Windsurfing Parksville is owned and op-erated by Parksville Bay’s official chair-man of the board Kevin Forsythe, who won gold in windsurfing at the 1991 BC Summer Games. They are offering two-

for-one lessons for the month of July by the way.

“They said it was supposed to be (more windy),” Kiefer grumbled when we first caught up with him on his board just off shore, but after a few down and ups, he got up a good head of steam and blew through the small channel out by the hovercraft pad.

“I love it,” he said after, wiping the brine from his eyes, then off he went.

ARTS & LIFESecond SectionKulth Festival arrives in Coombs

BRENDA GOUGH PHOTO

Phil Dwyer and his six piece band is one of the acts to play the Kulth Festival this weekend.


The festival called “folk fest with an edge” is back for a second year in Coombs this weekend, bursting with an im-pressive lineup of funk, rock, electronic, indie-folk, jazz and more.

This year organizers of the Kulth Festival (pronounced coolth) added an extra day to include a film festival to the mix, happening tonight (Friday, July 20), starting at 5 p.m.

Children’s entertainers will also be on-site again this year with entertainment both Saturday and Sunday, and children under 12 are free.

Beside popular acts like Wil and The Boom Booms, Qua-licum Beach’s own multi-juno-award-winning musician Phil Dwyer will also be playing the festival and bringing with him a troupe of talented individuals from Vancouver.

“It’s kind of exciting because usually I don’t get a chance to actually bring my bands here,” he said.

The six-piece band has recently been touring and have played at seven festivals between here and Halifax. Dwyer said they are doing jazzier arrangements of Canadian pop classics from icons like Randy Bachman, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot.

Dwyer said the Kulth Festival is professionally run and

organizers are doing some creative things.“It’s a great community event with lots of local acts and

there are some interesting ideas that are out of the ordinary,” he said.

The Kulth Festival will be held at the Coombs Rodeo Grounds where both tent and RV camping is available on-site.

Jazz, funk and rock at Kulth


A high-energy band with uplifting grooves is back to play another round at Kulth this year, and the group may have even more fol-lowers than last year.

Quoia (pronounced like sequoia tree without the se) released their first full length album in October, 2011 called Wildside while continuing to play a number of festi-vals around Alberta and B.C.

Formed in 2008, the group played over 60 shows in their first year which group mem-ber Mike Hann said really helped advance their skills.

“It helped us hone our sound pretty quickly which was good, and work through a lot of original material,” he said.

Hann describes the group’s sound as feel good, upbeat music. Others have said the group “genre hops” from rock, grooves, folk, country and even reggae.

Quoia, based out of Victoria, had two original songs in the surf film Around the World in 80 Waves, they've been the subject of a documentary and they were nominated for the 2011 M Awards for Favourite Band. Hann said one of the highlights the group has had to date was opening for American Grammy Award-winning blues musician Taj Mahal at the Royal Theatre in Victoria.

Quoia is also credited with founding and producing the Tall Tree Music Festival in Port Renfrew, B.C., which was listed by CBC Radio 3 as one of their “Favourite Canadian Festivals” last year.

Quoia is also doing good things for the planet as proceeds from the Tall Tree Fes-tival, and 10 per cent of the proceeds from Wildside, are donated to the Ancient For-est Alliance and their efforts to protect old growth forests.

His work is part of a collection at the Win-nipeg Art Gallery and for Inuit raku artist Basil Webber, that distinction is something he holds dearly because the Parksville resident who suf-fered a stroke three years ago has mustered up the courage to once again create the clay mas-terpieces he was famous for in his youth.

Webber who was born in 1953 in Happy Val-ley, Labrador had his first encounter with clay as a young boy on the banks of the Hamilton River in Labrador.

His experience on the wheel began with private lessons from Colleen Black Semelka in Winnipeg. His friend Dr. Richard Semelka helped to steer him towards creating Inuit im-ages and masks with raku.

Webber also took pottery classes in Winnipeg with nationally known artist Valerie Metcalfe.

Now in his rehabilitation from his stroke, Webber is being mentored once more, this time

by raku artists Dee and Larry Aguilar. The pair have taken Webber under their wings and made him an integral part of Larry Aguilar Pottery in Qualicum Beach as well as the community of artists at the Qualicum Beach Artisans Friday Night Market.

The card carrying Inuit raku artist got the courage to ask for help from Larry back in Feb-ruary and according to Dee, since then he has made huge strides in his recovery.

“He was a commercial painter in town and after his stroke he couldn’t paint so he was in a depression for over two years. Then he started pulling out and he had the courage to come and ask Larry how to get back into clay. He has been an integral part of our studio for the last four months,” explained Dee.

She said although they have been guiding him, Webber is the one who has shown the initiative.

Art and Photography in the Garden is happening at Milner Gardens this weekend.

Art weekend at Milner GardensLISSA [email protected]

Experience an exquisite garden through the eyes of talented artists this weekend as Milner Garden’s Art and Photography in the Garden re-turns.

Twenty artists will have their work displayed while working on new piec-es and the public can chat them up and be inspired.

The public will see bonsai, pho-tography, carving, pottery, painting and more while enjoying live music. Back by popular demand the Mid Is-land Floral Art Club will have display pieces using live or previously living material.

“It’s very unique,” said director of Milner Gardens, Geoff Ball. “They were here last year and were extreme-ly well received.”

The Tea Room will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for tea, soup and scones and refreshments and smokies will also be available on the grand lawn.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 21 and Sunday, July 22. Weekend admission is $10. For more information visit www.viu.ca/milnergardens.

“He is at the studio all day... sometimes until 8 p.m. at night and he is loving it. Ever since he started working with us full time his speech is getting better and better every day. He keeps working at it and he is going to be a permanent member of Larry Aguilar Pottery,” she declared.

Dee said working in clay has been good for him.“He has something to do and he is working in a direc-

tion. So many doors were closed because he had a stroke. Some people have trouble getting past the language bar-rier, but you can get past anything you just have to have your heart in it,” Dee agreed.

The Aguilars have not only opened up their studio to Webber they have also taught him new ways to manipulate the clay and work with different glazes.

Webber’s first post-stroke raku piece of a native mask was part of an art exhibition at the McMillan Art Centre (MAC) in Parksville recently which highlighted work by art-ists who used their creative process of art as a healing force and Dee said Larry was the one who encouraged Webber to create some work for the show.

“Basil said he needed clay because he wanted to put work in the show. He had his first mask in there and then he came back to us with his pieces he made and we fired them for him.”

Dee said Webber’s work depicts his native heritage.“He really likes that crackle look and it is very indige-

nous. When you look at his work it is very primitive ... but compelling. We call Basil the face man because if you look closely at his pieces they have hidden faces in them,” stated Dee.

Larry who is internationally acclaimed for his raku work said Webber mostly hand-builds his pieces but he is push-ing him to step out of his comfort zone.

“Now that he is with us we are trying to direct him with more vertical pieces,” confirmed Larry who also added that Dee won't accept it when Webber claims he can’t do some-thing.

Webber said he will try to get back to doing more work on the wheel but because of his stroke he doesn’t have full mobility in his hand.

As for being part of the Qualicum Beach Artisans Market every Friday Webber admitted he is thrilled to be a part of it.

“I love being out there and meeting the public,” he said

confidently.Dee said she just wants to

get the message out there that there is life after a stroke.

“Basil is an inspiration. He's only got up to go and he is incredible.”

The Qualicum Beach Artisans Market is held ev-ery Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. in Qualicum Beach, right beside The Old School House on Fern road until August 31.

Life after a stroke possibleCONTINUED FROM PAGE B6

The Stroke Recovery As-sociation of B.C. Oceanside Branch can take some of the credit for the great strides Ba-sil Webber has made since his stroke three years ago.

Webber attends the weekly support meetings the group holds every Friday in Parks-ville. For almost 30 years peo-ple who have suffered strokes in this area have been offered hope and inspiration and en-couragement to never stop trying.

Coordinator Kathleen Falvai said they don’t refer to people as stroke victims, rather they call them stroke survivors.

“We treat people as though they are going to recover completely ... that even af-ter a stroke it is not always hopeless. Hope has to be nur-tured,” she stressed.

Falvai said currently they have about 65 members in their group which includes stroke survivors and their caregivers.

There are two speech ther-apists, an art therapist, music therapist and exercise thera-

pist and Falvai said each week members do a variety of ther-apies to stimulate their minds and muscles.

The objectives of the pro-gram is to improve mobility, maintain and improve com-munication for those with speech impairment, provide mental stimulation, provide an accepting environment for social interaction and provide support to caregivers.

Falvai admitted that while some people may never fully recover from a stroke they can keep on improving and by at-tending their group it can make a big difference.

“People can stay as long as they like. Some people who attend feel a lot better and leave but others stay to en-courage other people. Wid-ows and widowers of people who have had strokes stay on as volunteers,” she claimed.

Elaine Cooper whose hus-band Stan had a stroke in De-cember 2010 has been joining the weekly therapy group. She said the group is fantastic not only for her husband but for her as well.

“Caregivers can share ex-periences and we support each other,” said Cooper when she stopped by the Ar-tisans Market in Qualicum Beach last Friday to check out Webber’s creations.

Cooper said she met Web-ber and his wife Andrea at the group and they have become friends. She agreed that since Webber has taken up his clay work, he has made great strides.

“My husband isn’t doing as well as Basil is. Stan is coming along slowly though with help from friends and the support group.”

Falvai also agreed that Webber is doing well.

“He has worked hard and is dedicated to his therapy,” said Falvai.

The Stroke Recovery As-sociation of B.C. Oceanside Branch meets at the St. Co-lumba Presbyterian Hall at 921 Wembley Road in Parks-ville every Friday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Helping create a safe havenLISSA [email protected]

Maureen Ross enjoys decorat-ing houses, even when they’re for the birds.

That’s why she was excited to paint and decorate 12 bird houses, with the help of four other women from the Morningstar ladies golf group, to auction off to charity.

This year the golf club decided to make their annual tournament a charity event with proceeds going to The Haven Society. To raise ad-ditional money Bob Byam built the bird houses and Ross decorated them to auction them off.

Ross painted the houses in bright and bold colours and em-bellished them with little rugs, picket fences, flowers and feathers. The finished product was an ador-able show piece for an outside pa-tio or atrium.

The houses fetched over $400 at the tournament, making a total of $1,700 for the Haven Society.

Member of the ladies club Linda Attley said the event sold out all 100 tickets for the first time.

“We started saying, ‘Hey why are we doing just for us? let’s get on with it and do something for the community.’”
