Students won’t be the only thing growing at Winchelsea Elementary School this year.

� e technology at the school is get-ting a boost in the form of webpages and digital portfolios.

Grade 5 teacher Petra Knight has been busy attending technology courses at the University of British Co-lumbia this summer and that has re-sulted in the creation of a webpage for her class this year, and she will assist other teachers to do the same. Knight will also soon develop digital portfo-

lios for the students, so friends and family can celebrate student’s achieve-ments, she said.

“We’re improving the technology piece and connecting parents with the classroom,” she said, adding that grandparents and other family will also be able to look online and see what the children are up to at school.

Last year was the � rst time a teach-er created a webpage for a class at the school but that teacher has trans-ferred schools.

Buddy Reading is another fairly new initiative where older students at the school will team up with younger

students and read together. Knight said they are really going to kick that program into gear this school year.

Another school-wide reading ini-tiative will involve adults working with small groups of children to read the same book together and develop skills and reading strategies.

All three initiatives are part of Winchelsea’s School Growth Plan, which all schools in the district possess.

Today is the � rst day of school for most children in the district. Grades 10-12 start tomorrow, September 4. Drivers are urged to remember school-zone speed limits are in e� ect.

FEDERAL RIDING BOUNDARIES

MP unhappywith changePowell River and Comox now part of Parksville-Qualicum ridingNEIL [email protected]

James Lunney fully intends to have his name on the ballot when voters go to the polls in the next federal election. � e big question mark though is where.

Lunney, the Nanaimo-Alberni MP, said the decision by the Federal Boundaries Commis-sion to re-jig existing central Island ridings didn’t go the way he had hoped.

“We have enough population on Vancouver Island to support seven ridings with the target of 105,000 people per riding,” he said. “We have 750,000-plus on the Island and we didn’t think it was necessary to add (the) 25,000 people (of) Powell River, which created a big distortion on the mid-Island.”

Lunney and three other Island MPs lobbied against the proposed new regimen, which has a new Courtenay-Alberni riding which will incor-porate Courtenay, Baynes Sound, Denman and Hornby Islands, Cumberland, Port Alberni, Qua-licum Beach, Parksville, To� no and Ucluelet.

� e new North Comox-Powell River riding will include Comox, Powell River, Black Creek, the Pentledge Indian Reserve, the Comox In-dian Reserve and Port Hardy. As well, a new riding is going to be created to the south, to be known as Lantzville-Ladysmith.

“Courtenay-Comox didn’t want to be split and Powell River didn’t want to be attached to the Island,” Lunney said. “We made a rec-ommendation we felt was more reasonable to solve the issue. However, the commission has the authority to make the decision and they de-cided to stick with their plan.”

Lunney said hasn’t made up his mind where he plans to run, but suggested he will make a decision relatively soon.

VANCoUVer’S GArBAGe CoMiNG to tHe iSlAND?

Islands Trust says no thanksAir quality only one of the issues of concernNEIL [email protected]

The possibility of Metro Vancouver shipping waste to be incinerated at Duke Point isn’t sit-ting well with the Islands Trust.

In a letter to the Regional District of Nanai-mo, Gabriola Island Local Trust Committee chair David Graham noted that Duke Point lies within one kilometre of Mudge Island and the Gabriola Island Local Trust Area.

“Failing to oppose a waste incineration site there would violate several fundamantal prin-

ciples and policies of our guiding documents and local plans,” Graham said. “The Gabriola Island Local Trust Committee is concerned about the negative effects of toxic fly ash, odour and dimin-ished air quality on the ecology and residents.”

The Regional District of Nanaimo recently passed a resolution stating its opposition to such a project, a move that drew praise from Nanaimo resident Vickie Cochrane.

In a letter to the board, Cochrane expressed her appreciation for the stand.

“I want to say thank you for your foresight and for staying true to the RDN principles re-garding waste, which are so eloquently con-veyed on the RDN website,” she wrote.

The head of the Island Corridor Foundation (ICF) says he remains frustrated with the pace of negotiations with VIA Rail over reintro-duction of passenger rail service on Vancouver Island.

Speaking as a delegation at last Tuesday’s regular Regional Dis-trict of Nanaimo board meeting, ICF president Graham Bruce reiter-ated an earlier statement that he sees the negotiations by VIA Rail as being close to bad faith.

The comment came in response to a question by Cedar director Alec McPherson about the possibility of track maintenance stan-dards being different on the federal and provincial level.

When asked by Bowser director Bill Veenhof whether he stood by an earlier comment that he considered VIA Rail to be negotiating in bad faith, Bruce didn’t back down.

“Yes, I said something close to that,” he said. “If one wants to infer that, that would be fine.”

There was a time when Grandon Creek swarmed with coho salmon, says Faye Smith, but that hasn’t been the case for quite some time.

This situation may be about to change though, thanks to the restoration efforts of the Qualicum Beach Streamkeepers.

On Monday the team was hand to complete the latest portion of their long-term strategy to bring coho back to the Qualicum Beach water-course.

“We were doing some of the finishing up on the project of constructing some more pools and spawning areas in the creek,” Smith said. “A week and a half ago we had an excavator in the creek — along with a fisheries biologist of course — and excavated three pools because the coho fry that were there had very little hab-itat to rear in because the pools were very shal-low and not very big.”

When the pools are too shallow, the salmon

fry are vulnerable to heat and predators such as birds, racoons, and even the native trout that inhabit the stream. In the most extreme cases, the fish can fall victim to being dried out alto-gether.

While they were preparing to start the project however they had to first transport hundreds of coho fry upstream — a chore that Smith and her team found very encouraging.

“After 40 to 60 years of not coming in at all, if we get a dozen spawning coho, that’s great,” she said. “Grandon Creek is definitely a nice success story.”

The Qualicum Beach Streamkeepers began after coho salmon stocks crashed in the late 1980s, due to overfishing and habitat destruc-tion.

They couldn’t do anything about the fishing, but they could help with the habitat.

“The first thing we had to do was map the creek and we found that the salmon couldn’t get in at all because there were barriers right at the mouth,” she said. “We worked with Qual-icum Beach to resolve this and raised a lot of money and now Grandon Creek has coho spawning in there.”

Fair fun

Lighthousein

STORY AND PHOTOS BYNEIL [email protected]

The crowds turned out in force to the Lighthouse Community Centre on Saturday as local organizers presented the 43rd annual Lighthouse Country Fall Fair. One of the key elements of this event, organized by the Bow Horn Bay Community Club, is to give an opportunity for children in the Qualicum Bay/Bowser area to have a great time playing fun games and not having to worry about how much it costs. That’s because all the children’s activities were at no cost. And what fun activities there were, including hamster balls, a balance challenge, a bouncy castle, three stages of musical entertainment, perfor-mances by Daisy the Cow and Farmer Vicki, Lucky Cluck chicken plucky, stilt walkers and a nail-driving competition, among others. Of course the other main focus of any fall fair has to be the displays, and once again Lighthouse Country showed its colours with a rainbow selection of jams and jellies, among many other products of local residents’ skill, craftsmanship and imagination.

NEWS FILE PHOTO

Maureen Groves before taking part in last year’s grandmother ride to Victoria. This year she will be staying closer to her new grandchild and help-ing serve the team breakfast.

AUREN [email protected]

Local Grandmothers to Grand-mothers supporter Maureen Groves encourages people to join them in Ro-tary Park this Saturday to cheer on a team of about 30 cycling from Camp-bell River to Victoria.

“It would be so nice to have peo-ple come out and cheer the grand-mothers on as they leave Qualicum Beach Rotary Park on Saturday, Sept. 7 about 9 a.m.” she said.

“The various Grandmothers to Grandmothers groups raise money to help grandmothers in Africa that are supporting and mothering their orphaned grandchildren due to the

HIV/AIDS pandemic,” she previously explained.

Working with the Stephen Lewis Foundation, the group raised more than $100,000 last year, pushing their six year total past $625,000.

The riders will stop in Welch Rotary Park on Qualicum Beach for break-fast and Groves is still collecting tax deductible donations through her shop, Village Clothing in Qualicum Beach at 250-752-0436 or online at bit.ly/15JItf9. Visit www.victoria-grandmothersforafrica.ca for more on the seventh annual ride which starts Friday in Campbell River and finish-es 275 kilometres away in Victoria on Sunday, National Grandparents Day.

Coombs takes a steptoward independenceNEIL [email protected]

Most Parksville and Qualicum Beach residents likely haven’t lived more than 10 years in the area, but many Coombs and Errington residents go back as far as five generations, says Julian Fell.

For that reason, said the Regional Dis-trict of Nanaimo director for Area F, it’s well past time for them to grow up and become their own municipality.

“There’s a push here by local residents who are sick of being mismanaged by out-siders,” he said. Being an electoral area is like being a two-year-old. You have to ask someone outside for everything. You can’t do anything for yourself. Parts of our com-munity are celebrating 100 years and Err-ington goes back to the 130-year range. We have a deep, strong sense of community here that goes back for generations.”

Fell made the comments following a vote at last week’s Regional District of Nanaimo meeting where he made a mo-tion to start the process towards the forma-tion of a stand-alone municipality.

Fell’s motion called for the RDN to support the Arrowsmith community (Area F) restruc-ture study committee in the community’s desire to resume and complete a restructure study for self governance as a district. As well, it calls for the RDN to ask the province to pro-vide funding and support for the study. The vote passed without comment, a develop-ment that didn’t surprise Fell.

“They have to recognize the fact that

communities grow up and become adults eventually,” he said. “This just means the board approves of the concept.”

In order for a rural area to become a municipality, Fell said several steps are re-quired, the first of which is to get board ap-proval for the idea. This approval then has to be mirrored by the province, after which time a feasibility study is needed.

“We did a study in 1995 and we have the consent of the community, the critical mass of people,” Fell said. “A preliminary finan-cial analysis showed we could change the community without raising the tax rate.”

Fell noted however that municipalities have different taxation regimens than ru-ral areas, so properties contribute to the tax base in different ways. As well, several options for the boundaries of the proposed municipality need to be laid out.

“This requires a specialist, an accountant who specializes in that sort of thing,” Fell said. “This will show you that if the bound-aries follow one particular pattern, the tax cost will be a certain amount, but if it in-cludes more area with a lesser tax base, you might have a higher tax rate overall. You do it to optimize the needs of the community and what is deemed to be affordable.”

The issue would then go to referendum. Fell said the process could take as long as three years to complete.

However, he said it’s no sure thing that it will get that far. “We are competing with others for limited provincial funding,” he said. “We might have to take a number and stand in line.”

ICBC has applied for a 4.9 per cent rate in-crease to its basic vehicle insurance rates to take effect Nov. 1.

For an average driver who now pays $1,369 a year for basic insurance, the increase would add an extra $36. In its rate application to the B.C. Utilities Commission, ICBC is also seeking four per cent decrease in optional coverage that would reduce that annual bill by $25.

The last rate increase was 11 per cent in 2012, coupled with a six per cent cut in optional in-surance where ICBC competes with private in-surers.

In an open letter to customers, Mark Blucher, interim CEO of ICBC, says the increase is needed to keep up with increasing bodily injury claims,

with higher payouts as more people turn to law-yers to dispute their insurance payouts.

Blucher said injury claim volume is also rising, including crashes involving drivers dis-tracted by smartphones, and more pedestrians and cyclists on roads.

ICBC cut 260 positions last year after an au-dit of its operations showed its management ranks had swelled by 41 per cent between 2007 and 2011. Blucher said ICBC’s administrative costs amount to five cents out of every premi-um dollar, with 86 cents going to claim payouts.

Bodily injury claims, for pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages totalled $1.9 bil-lion in 2012, up $165 million from the previous year and $400 million higher than five years previously.

ICBC seeks 4.9% rate hike

Public information meeting scheduled for Sept. 11NeIl [email protected]

A proposed development in the Nanoose Bay area continues to spark praise around the Regional District of Nanaimo board table —both from those in favor and those opposed to the project.

The project would see 1,676 homes added to the Fairwinds development.

In a letter to the RDN board, John Purcell, the senior vice president of Bentall Kennedy Canada LP, thanked directors and staff for their diligence on the file.

“We appreciate the RDN’s commitment to bring the zoning stage applications to the board for consideration in a timely manner,” Purcell wrote. “We are encouraged by staff’s efforts to accelerate the process to allow us to reach our critical milestones.”

On the other side of the issue, Nanoose Bay resident Don Lawseth also expressed high praise for the board on the issue.

“I wish to express my appreciation for the RDN board’s decision to stay the course and resist private-interest pressure to accelerate and compromise the Fairwinds development planning process,” he wrote. “I am encouraged that the RDN appears to be looking after the public interest over private and special inter-ests.”

Fellow Nanoose Bay resident Ross Peterson meanwhile urged the RDN board to take its time in consulting with area residents about the proposal.

“If anything, I think the RDN’s proposed timeline for this may be optimistic — that is, if the RDN wishes to complete a meaningful public consultation program,” he said. “The public engagement thus far has been extreme-ly limited, focussing only on matters involving form and character, with no discussion of the potential impacts and their mitigation — a very serious omission.”

The project underwent a public open house in June, while a RDN public information meet-ing is slated for Sept. 11 and a formal public hearing on Nov. 30.

If John Olsen has his way the Greater Errington Zuc-chini Race will be more than just a local event. � e soap box derby for zucchinis with wheels has become a pop-ular event at Errington’s Hi Neighbour Day. Olsen who won � rst place in this year’s zucchini showdown August 17 for best race in the age 14 and over category wants to take the event international.

“I would like to challenge other groups to form an in-ternational body and set some standards and go big time and maybe in the future go to the Olympics,” he said.

While many gardens in these parts are loaded with the vegetable, Olsen pointed out that not every variety is suit-able for the race track.

� e 82 year old Errington resident got his lean, mean and green racing machine from Sunshine’s farm in Err-ington.

He said she grows zucchini with a heavy spine and it makes a sti� squash which is ideal for racing.

Wayne Lamotte’s 44.4 pound spring was the largest over all at the third annual Save On Foods French Creek Salmon Derby August 23, 24 and 25. He won $150 and a trophy with his name on it is at the French Creek Marine Pub which organized the event. Shauneen England and Russ Mosher along with a team of volunteers put on a � rst class derby this year which saw 163 � sh weighed in. Save-On-Foods hosted a BBQ that generated $900 which was part of the $2,500 raised for the Marion Baker Fish Hatchery operated by the Parksville and Qualicum Beach Fish and Game Club.

Estheticians Amanda Herbert and Andrea Dorsthave a new business at the Pine Tree Centre in Errington. � ey started their venture o� on a positive note by pro-viding complimentary manicures in exchange for a dona-tion to the Salvation Army Food Bank. Community Ser-vices Coordinator Lisa Clason said currently the shelves are bare at the food bank. She reminds everyone that � e Save-On-Foods Fill the Truck event takes place Septem-ber 14. Shoppers can buy a pre-made bag of food for $5 which will help the food bank and all proceeds from the sale of the bags will go to BC Children’s Hospital.

If you ask Mike and Joan Jiggins what the secret is to a long and happy marriage they will tell you it is lots of love and laughter. � e couple who were married on August 29 in 1953 celebrated their diamond anniversary at the Arrowsmith Golf and Country Club last week with friends and family.

Nadine Durant is putting out the word for pet owners to get serious about training their best friends to take the top prize for musical sits.

That’s one of the doggie games that will be on tap on Sept. 8 at Parksville Community Park during the Scotia-bank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause.

“It’s a province wide provincial fundraiser that is hosted in about 35 communities across the province,” she said.

“The money goes to help provide our life-saving help for 29,000 abused, neglected animals.”

Although Durante said the SPCA goal across B.C. is to raise $1 million, her goal for the local event is more modest.

“We hope to raise $10,000,” she said.That money is raised through both

entrance fees and through sponsor-ships for the dog walkers who take part.

“We want people to sign up, collect pledges and show up and have fun,” she said.

Some of that fun, she added, will

come in the form of doggie games, such as musical sits and bobbing for weiners.

Radio personality Dave Graham of The Beach 88.5 FM will once again serve as the master of ceremonies for the event, while Phil St. Luke will be on hand to help whip up some enthusi-asm in the crowd.

Registration is at 9 a.m., with the walk along the beach boardwalk start-ing at 10.

Participants can register online at spca.bc.ca/walk.

They rode into o� ce with a connection to a group called Oceanside Communities for Quality Education.

It’s not like they were running against another slate of candidates who belonged

to a group called Oceanside Communities for Crappy Education.

District 69 school board trustees Barry Kurland, Julia Austin, Lynette Kershaw and Ross Milligan were swept into o� ce basically on the close-or-not-close Kwali-kum Secondary School debate. � ey wanted to keep it open, of course, a motherhood stance to go with their group’s motherhood name.

� e voters responded positively to their stance and the group took their chairs at the board table alongside incumbent Eve Flynn.

Fast-forward 20 months and this board � nds itself in quite the pickle. It looks from here like Acting Super-intendent Rollie Koop and district sta� have done all they can, and more, to belt-tighten until they are blue in the face, but there will still be a budget shortfall of more than $1.2 million.

Did this successful slate of trustees hamstring them-selves, limit their options to provide quality education to the children who are in the district, by promising — by words or implication — not to close a school?

If indeed this board is forced to do the deed — not that anyone wants that to happen — will these four members of the board be breaking a huge promise they made to voters? It’s not that simple, but the optics aren’t good.

Kershaw also campaigned on transparency. She said in the campaign the new board needs to make itself “more accessible, open and transparent to the public.”

We are going to respectfully suggest that goal has not been reached. Not even close.

E� orts to get certain, speci� c information on a num-ber of issues have been fruitless and/or frustrating, de-spite the fact these issues could have serious impacts on Oceanside communities hoping for quality educa-tion.

Elections are funny ducks, as Kershaw will no doubt agree after standing behind NDP Leader Adrian Dix for a photo op on a May campaign stop in Parksville. One just never knows what might happen.

Best summer ever?Re: front-page story in the Aug. 27 edition

of The NEWS (‘The best July ever’).It’s nice to hear that Sunrise Ridge Resort

is having a good summer. Considering the fact that they have been in business primar-ily since the 2008 economic decline, a good summer after five years is well deserved. Increased business from Washington state also makes sense since the number of un-employed has dropped by 19 per cent since 2012 (WSESD, June 2013). Clearly their economy is on the rebound.

The “best July ever,” as quoted by the PQBTA, is a gross exaggeration. Best July weather perhaps. According to YVR re-cords, it most definitely was.

A few percent increase, say three-four, in travel dollars spent is a more realistic fore-cast. According to the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC), June 2013 results for Americans travelling to Canada actually ex-perienced a slight decline overall (-0.8 per cent).

Also in June, the CTC reported significant decreases in travel from our next two big-

gest customers: Germany and the United Kingdom. Chinese, Australian and Mexican tourist numbers are on the upswing but are they frequenting PQB?

The World Tourism Organization has forecast annual growth in the Americas at an average of 3.8 per cent a year through 2020. We will be fortunate to hit that mark based on our Provincial objective to in-crease tourism revenue by only five per cent a year. A more aggressive target is required to realize significant growth.

We have a provincial carbon tax that adds 6.67 cents to each litre of gas sold. Ferry rates increased by 4.1 per cent in 2013 and will increase another 7.9 per cent by 2015. Current usage numbers (July, 2013) are be-low 2009 figures.

We are pricing ourselves out of the non-luxury market. Adding insult to injury, provincial unemployment in July increased from 6.3-6.7 per cent. The best July ever? Not likely.

Peter MacLeodParksville

Why tWo pensions?I am extremely disturbed by recent re-

ports that former Senator Mac Harb, has resigned and now qualifies for not one, but two pensions — both from the Senate and the federal government. How is it possible for anyone to collect two pensions from the same employer, the Canadian taxpayer?

I believe the time is more than ripe for the Canadian Taxpayers Association to take issue with this, to report how many are dou-ble dipping and to get this practice stopped before the next general election.

Betty PetrieParksville

respect neighBoursPerhaps a resident of Coombs who is OK

with parking boats, motorhomes and trail-ers on residential properties should take a drive around Parksville and see the differ-ence of a unit, up to 40 feet in length, parked on a residential lot versus the same unit parked on a rural setting in Coombs.

It’s like comparing apples and oranges. While driving around, take note of the units parked at the extreme front of the property. There simply isn’t room on a 50 or 55-foot lot to park a 40-foot motorhome or trailer without it being an unsightly picture.

Many of us in the urban setting are be-coming concerned about this and what it is doing to overall real-estate values. There is concern about listing one’s house for sale and it being next door to a property where there is an RV and a boat parked in the front yard. Unless you are a boater or RVer, that is a turn-off for most property purchasers.

I do agree that we live on an island and boats are a part of many of the resident’s lives, and many own an RV as well. But that does not give them carte blanche to turn the neighbourhood into a massive parking lot. That is what the storage facilities are for. Use them. The majority of residents do not have boats and trailers and that should be respected. Many of these are parked in vio-lation of the city’s bylaws. It is an issue that seems to be growing and one that city coun-cil is going to have to address. However, council seems to be unwilling to act.

Most of us take pride in our properties and it takes time and money to keep them that way. How about helping us in that re-gard?

A fond Calypso farewellL

et me run some-thing by you.

“Day-O. Me say day, me say day, me say day-o.”

I imagine half the peo-ple reading this heard some distant bells when they read that. The other half wonders if I’ve mixed up my meds and I’m freaking out.

At ease, everybody. That was just a half-remem-bered remnant of an old folk song that swept the English speaking world a little over half a century ago when a young singer named Harry Belafonte sang those words into a microphone for the first time.

It was a simple folk tale, the story of a night shift worker who stacks bananas. He’s been working all night. After a little partying.

I work all night on a drink of rum.

His work is hard. And re-petitive.

I stack banana till de mornin’ come

Packing bananas is not pleasant work and it’s not

easy.Six foot, sev-

en foot, eight foot bunch.

And, it can be dangerous work.

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana . . .

Hide the deadly black ta-rantula...

As with most jobs, there’s a foreman, an inspector, a head honcho to be reckoned with. In this case, it’s the tal-ly man. In the banana busi-ness, everybody has to reck-on with the tallyman.

Come Mister Tallyman, tally me banana.

Our man is tired. And hung over. And the sun’s coming up.

Daylight come and me wan go home.

It’s a simple song. A sim-ple folk tale, really.

Nobody expected much of it when, almost exactly 57 years ago, on September 8th, 1956, Harry Belafonte recorded that song, called

variously Day-O, The Banana Boat Song or, in Jamaica, Hill and Gully Rider. It was just a fill-er song for the B side of an album called Calypso. The album had Jamaica Fare-well and Matil-da — and Bela-

fonte’s people knew those songs were bound to be hits.

But the Banana Boat song surprised everyone. It was a smash; a number one sin-gle. It propelled the whole album to number one on the Billboard Charts where it re-mained for 31 weeks – which was unheard of at the time.

Not only that, the album stayed on the charts for the next 99 weeks — almost two years. That was a feat that would not be repeated until Michael Jackson recorded Thriller, forty years later.

So if the song was such a mega event, how come half the people reading this col-umn never heard of it?

That’s because of another musical phenomenon that burst onto the world stage in 1956. It arrived in the form of a hillbilly truck driver from Tennessee.

Belafonte’s Calypso al-bum surfaced precisely when a revolutionary force that came to be known as Rock and Roll coalesced into an unstoppable force named Elvis.

Without Elvis, no Rolling Stones, Beatles, Springsteen, Rush ... all that might have been buried in a tsunami of Calypso music.

But it didn’t happen. His-tory, as history often does, did a little hop, skip and a jump and Calypso music, which looked to dominate the musical scene, became a musical footnote instead.

History does that sort of thing from time to time. Ask the dinosaurs. Ask Neander-thals.

Oh, right. We can’t. Arthur Black is a regular

columnist. He lives on Salt Spring Island.

Park reservations were at an all time high An exceptionally sunny,

dry summer helped push BC Parks to an all-time re-cord number of reservations at provincial campgrounds.

More than 115,000 camp-ing reservations were made through the province’s Dis-cover Camping service, up 12 per cent from last year.

Campers were allowed to make reservations at more campsites and camp-grounds, including Kleanza Creek, Martha Creek, Chilli-wack Lake, Mable Lake and Bowron Lake, increasing the number of reservable sites to more than 5,000 at 95 parks.

While Labour Day is the traditional end to the reg-ular camping season, BC Parks officials are trying to pump up shoulder season camping.

They say campsites are quieter in the fall, with at-tractions like spawning salmon in some areas.

It’s also the time of year when “long-stay camp-ing” is permitted, allowing campers to stay four to six weeks at reduced rates in se-lect parks.

Seniors over 65 also get camping discounts from Sept. 3 to June 14 next year.

Errington Hall getting Ruth MoodyJuno-award winning musician finishing album tour in B.C. before heading into the StatesLISSA [email protected]

Acclaimed musician Ruth Moody’s first ever solo tour was on Vancouver Island in 2010, and she’s coming back with a stop in Errington on Sept 13.

The two-time Juno award winning musician is a member of the internationally renowned group The Wailin’ Jennys. She started a solo career a few years ago when the trio took a break so one of them could start a family.

In 2010 she released The Garden, which was nom-inated for a host of awards including two Junos and a Canadian Folk Music Award.

Her new album, These Wilder Things, was released this year with guest appearances by Mark Knopfler, Jer-ry Douglas, The Wailin’ Jennys and more.

Moody started a CD release tour in April beginning in Winnipeg, her home province, but had to end it in Edmonton.

“We couldn’t get as far as B.C. because we had an amazing opportunity in Europe to open for Mark Knop-fler for a few weeks, so we had to limit the Canadian re-lease tour.”

Moody will finish that tour, playing venues around the Island, before she heads into the United States to play a number of solo shows plus some shows with the Wailin’ Jennys.

After being part of a Celtic Band and lead singer for the Canadian roots band Scruj MacDuhk in her early twenties, Moody said she and a couple girlfriends start-ed singing together for fun. They booked a show and that sold out, so they booked another, which also sold out.

The Wailin’ Jennys started playing to sold out shows around the world.

“None of us really anticipated it and suddenly we were getting offers for folk festivals and there was really something there.”

Moody said the three girls had a nice vocal blend, great chemistry and had a lot of fun playing together.

These days Moody is keeping extremely busy touring, but she’s managing quite well with her heavy work load.

“I’m really busy, it’s kind of crazy. But I do love tour-ing, I’m okay with being on the road. And I love doing both, [playing] with the Jennys and solo. For me it’s nice to go back and forth, each experience sort of informs the other.”

Moody has been described in the press as “the so-prano with the ethereal voice,” “classically elegant” and “quietly mesmerizing and sensuous.”

She will be playing at the Errington Hall with her

band, composed of seasoned musicians who are all multi-instrumentalists.

Tickets for the show are $20 at the Errington Store, Cranky Dog Music in Parksville and Heaven on Earth in Qualicum Beach. Tickets are $5 at the door for 12 and under and under 5’s are free.

Doors open at 7:30 and the show starts at 8 p.m.For more on Moody and to hear music samples visit

her website www.ruthmoody.com.

Aldea Maya gives the gift of education in GuatemalaLISSA [email protected]

While local parents are busy purchas-ing school supplies for their children’s upcoming school year, local charity Al-dea Maya is doing the same for impover-ished students in Guatemala.

Founder of the charity Louise Sosa took some young volunteers to Staples last week for middle school students in Chukumuk, Guatemala.

“None of the students in the village were continuing past Grade 6 as they could not afford the school supplies and school fees. On top of that they had to pay transportation to the nearest town as there was no middle school in the vil-lage.”

As of January 2012 Aldea Maya start-ed a middle school in the village which now has 75 students and grades 7 and

8. The charity pays all the teachers sala-ries, school equipment and student sup-plies and fees by donations from people including many local residents, Davies Electric and local Rotary Clubs.

The charity also has extensive garden and nutrition programs as well as energy efficient stoves, water filter and building projects.

Anyone interested in joining the team can attend the annual general meeting Thursday, Sept 5 at 266 Crescent West in Qualicum Beach.

Opportunities include volunteering at craft fairs, knitting sweaters and much more.

A meet and greet will run from 6 until 7 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7 p.m.

Fundraiser

Child Haven fundraiser will go onNew organizers step in to facilitate a long-running event supporting children in need

A fundraiser for children and women in developing countries in need of food, education, health care, shelter and more will continue, thanks to some local volunteers.

The Child Haven Fundraiser, formerly called Sojourn to India, has been running for 18 years in Parksville Quali-cum Beach but the main organizers were unable to contin-ue their work this year.

Luckily Qualicum Beach resident Leona Matte gathered some friends and formed a new crew of organizers.

Child Haven International was founded by Bonnie and Fred Cappuccino of Maxville, Ontario.

The couple raised 21 children, 19 of them adopted and have spent many years hosting a circuit of events around Canada. Their charity has six homes in India, and one in each Bangladesh, Nepal and Tibet. Around 1,200 impov-erished individuals, mostly children are dependent on the charity. The couple is celebrating their 60th wedding anni-versary this year.

The event takes place October 25th at the Parksville Community and Conference Centre. Tickets are $25 for the family friendly event including finger foods, dancing, drumming, an exotic Indian marketplace, and a silent auc-tion.

If people wold like to get involved with the fundraiser contact Leona at 250 752-7404 or Cilla at 250 752-0968.

Bowser event to bring exotic flavoursLegion Ladies Auxiliary will make prawn rolls, vermicelli salad, butter chicken and more LISSA [email protected]

A variety of tasty foreign foods will be sizzling at the Bowser Legion Sept 14 as the Ladies Auxiliary puts on a new event.

“We decided to do an Asian fusion night to sort of honour all the coun-tries the vets have been to, and to try something kind of new and different,” said Terri Bowen, member of the Royal Canadian Legion Bowser Ladies Auxiliary.

Tickets for the event need to be purchased by Sept. 7 at the Bowser Legion bar.

Ticket holders will begin their eve-ning with some oriental teas and some vietnamese prawn rolls served with hoisin sauce and a Thai vermicelli sal-ad.

The main course includes Indian curried chicken with oriental broccoli, mushroom fried rice and a Korean bar-becue beef skewer.

Dessert is japanese green tea ice cream.

Tickets are $15 and proceeds support local veterans, as well as projects like student bursaries, food hampers and many more.

SUBMITTED PHOTO BY DEANNA VEERMAN

Deanna Veerman, below, has just started up a new photography business in Parksville. Here is a shot she took called Family Time.

Shooting for a picture perfect jobBSS graduate Deanna Veerman completes an NIC certificate and starts a local businessLISSA [email protected]

Deanna Veerman was working happily as a pastry chef when she decided to toss the cakes and pursue her first love, photography.

“I’d always been interested in photography and I wanted to pursue something and decided to go to school. And I fell in love with portraiture.”

Vermaan graduated from North Island College’s (NIC) professional photography certificate program in June and has started her own photography business in Parksville called Devee Photography.

Raised in the Parksville area, Veerman graduated from Ballenas Secondary School in 2009. In Grade 10 she bought her first digital camera and that’s when her creativity really started blossoming, she said.

NIC’s program covered many aspects of photogra-phy including product advertising, lifestyle shooting and even dabbled in the dark room with film. But it was

portraiture that stole her heart.“It’s just the human element, I love capturing people

and giving them the gift of a family portrait or an en-gagement portrait, it’s a timeless image because it can

be brought back and I absolutely love that,” she said.Today she focuses on photographing weddings and

portraiture but also takes photos of landscapes and na-ture. Veerman is an avid hiker and has recently taken shots at hidden gems around the Island like Della Falls, Sombrio Beach and Gold River.

She also enjoys taking clients to outdoor locations for her shoots.

“I love instilling the solitude of nature’s splendour in my photographs and I like engaging my clients, giving them an earthy tangible edge to my sessions.”

Veerman will be at the upcoming Party on the Drive event in Parksville, set up with a photo booth. There she’ll be dressing people up in scarves and hats and taking free photos of them.

To see some of Veerman’s photographs visit her website www.deveephotography.net or her Facebook page facebook.com/deveephotography or call 250-937-7070.

SUCCESS MATTERS!!!

“I was very nervous going back to school and wondered if I had what it took to be successful. My amazing instructor saw my strengths and pushed me to achieve beyond my expectations. They sharpened my soft skills while giving me the hard skills I needed to succeed as a Community Support Worker. Discovery Community College has been my catalyst for success!”

Lisa H., Community Support Worker

“I had gone to another school previously. What a difference! My education at Discovery was superlative. I had top notch instructors who were committed to my success. At every corner I was empowered to succeed. As a graduate of the Licensed Practical Nursing program I have the con� dence and skills needed to be an outstanding nurse. That’s a good thing, because, I was hired shortly after graduation in my dream job, working as a � oor nurse.”

James M., Licensed Practical Nurse

“Discovery Community College changed my life! After 11 years in a dead end job I knew I needed a change. I had always enjoyed working with the elderly, so the Health Care Assistant program was a perfect � t. At � rst I was nervous because I was the oldest person in my class. That did not last long! The program is amazing! Everyone, from my instructors to the Campus Manager, cared about my success, even after I graduated. I was eased into the learning and, before I knew it, I was doing things I had only dreamed of. Discovery gave me the con� dence and the skills to succeed. And I have the new job to prove it!“

GWENDOLYN JOHNSTON (nee Hill) passed away peacefully with family at her side at Belmont House in Toronto on Sunday, August 25th at age 96. Beloved wife of the late William (Bill) Johnston. Cherished mother of three daughters Beth Symes (Michael) of Toronto, Susan Cooper (Ian) of Toronto and Catharine Johnston (Michael Grant) of Vancouver and her grandchildren Amy Cooper (Pablo Oliver) of Calgary and David Cooper (Jen) of Lindsay, Kate Symes of Banff and Karen Symes of Toronto and her great grandson Thomas Oliver of Calgary.

Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Gwen married Bill in 1940 and after the war and the birth of their fi rst daughter Beth they moved to Sioux Lookout, Ontario where Susan was born and where she was turned from city girl to country pioneer heating with wood and thawing ice blocks for drinking water and learning how to curl. They then moved to Fort Frances, Ontario where they had their third and fi nal (thankfully according to Dad) daughter Catharine and there Gwen and Bill became lifelong bridge partners. They then returned to Winnipeg where they lived in East Kildonan and vacationed every chance they could at Jessica Lake until Dad’s retirement. At that time they retired to paradise in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island where they built a house and mom was able to fully fulfi ll her passion for gardening. After Dad passed away Gwen moved to Hollyburn house in West Vancouver and then 4 year ago moved to Belmont House in Toronto.

A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Birmingham and the staff on 2 West at Belmont House and her private care givers for the kind and compassionate care they provided over the past few years.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.In Gwen’s memory, donations may be made to either The Belmont

House Foundation [email protected] or The Canadian Alzheimer Society www.alzheimer.ca would be appreciated.

Children’s sand sCulpting

Quality Foods sandcastles and raffleWinners announced in children’s sandcastle competition and stroke recovery raffle

AUREN [email protected]

Forward House had perfect weather and over 70 people attend their recent an-nual barbecue and auction.

“The weather was wonderful and the food was fabulous,” said executive direc-tor Gerard Klomp.

“Thanks go to all those who came and

enjoyed the dinner and fund raising ef-forts. We are grateful for all the kindly do-nated items for the auction, bake sale and white elephant sale.”

Held at the current location of the mental health and addictions recovery facility across from Parksville city hall, Klomp said the funds raised will go to-

ward upgrades to the new larger house they bought near bye.

They hope to move into the new house in September and of course further dona-tions are always gratefully accepted and receipts can be issued.

He said the auction was a success, with lots of laughter and bidding back

and forth between people anxious to take home a particular item.

The raffle, bake sale and white ele-phant items were also popular with all who attended.

“Forward House thanks everyone who made this day a great success. Have a great rest of the summer.”

The Parksville Quality Foods store held a successful raffle benefiting Oceanside Stroke Recovery.

The three winners of Quality Foods gift cards were recently announced: First prize ($100) went to Ange-lika Robillard of Qualicum Beach, the second ($75) was donated to the food bank and S. Chambers of Na-noose Bay won third ($50).

Employees and local stroke survivors send out many thanks to everyone who purchased tickets and Quality Foods for sponsoring the raffle which will help with therapy.

soccer camp

60 turn out for Parksville soccer campwww.pqbnews.com

Parksville Qualicum Beach youth get a taste of the fun side of soccer in SpringwoodJAMES CL [email protected]

The beautiful game had a decidedly proper ring to it at Springwood Park this week, as Michael Whitehead and three of his peers were in Parksville as part of a soccer camp put on by UK-based Chal-lenger Sports.

“I did a camp here three weeks ago on this pitch,” he said last week when The NEWS stopped by. “Brilliant. Great part of the Island, I love it here,” he said through a strong British accent.

At that camp he said they had around 60 kids out “and this one we’ve got roughly the same.”

Last week’s camp, which ran Monday through Friday, was for children aged 3-11. Some of the kids he said are full day campers, there from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. with an hour for lunch, but the majority are there for a half day.

They’re also holding 90 minute First Kicks camps for children aged 3-4.

“This is our third time on the Island but Challenger Sports has been host-ing soccer camps in Canada for around eight years now.”

“We just want them to get a great ex-

perience out of their soccer,” he said. “We’re not an elitist camp, we ask for any age, any ability. We want them to

have fun, have a great experience, and they learn things as well.”

“I love it here... I worked out of here

last year and each year the numbers just get better and the kids are improving so much.”

In an interesting twist, literally, to warm up stretches, Challenger Sports instructor Michael Whitehead had his young charges doing ‘dance offs.’

B.c. senior games

JAMES CL [email protected]

You can chalk up another medal, this one of the gold variety, for players from the Lighthouse Floor Curling Club in Qualicum Bay.

In the mix in Kamloops Aug. 20-24 at the big B.C. Seniors Games competition, the team from LFCC, comprised of skip Gordon Lundine, second Wendy Pearce, third Bruce McCaig and lead Joyce McCaig, were outstanding, winning their first five games, losing one, then running the table on their final two games to go 8-1 and garner gold in the B Division.

“They did great — they play well together, they compete and have a good time,” LFCC secretary Lor-raine Lepper confirmed this week, adding the club has “won medals many, many times over the years... each year we make a very good showing.”

The Lundine rink was the only local team to medal in floor curling.

This year’s Seniors Games featured some 3,500 ath-letes and 1,800 volunteers from across the province.

Asked for a bit of insight into the Lighthouse Floor

Curling Club, formed some 20 years ago, Lepper said LFCC currently lists about 55 members “and we range in age up to the early 90s — Gordon (Lundine) turns 92 in September, and he’s still going strong.”

Open to players of all ages and experience, the club plays every Monday and Friday from 1-3 p.m. at the Qualicum Bay Lions Club off the Old Island Hwy. in Bowser.

“It’s a great sport,” said Lepper. “It’s social, friendly, couples can play together, and there’s a bit of a team atmosphere with bit of competitiveness if you’re so in-clined.”

Anyone interested in joining the Lighthouse Floor Curling Club can call Fred Lepper at 250-752-0216 for more information.

The 13th annual Parksville Panters Clas-sic old-timers hockey tournament is fast ap-proaching, and local players have been put-ting in some extra ice time in preparation.

“Oh yeah. It’s a lot of fun — it’s a lot of games,” said tournament co-chair John Ogle, a right winger and D-man with the Panters 70s team.

“We have 18 teams including four local teams this year and they’re coming from Vic-toria, Comox, the Lower Mainland, Olds, Ft. McMurray, Edmonton and Calgary in Alberta, Flin Flon Manitoba, Colorado and Massachu-setts. If people want to show up and see some

games there’s no admission and it’ll be some good hockey.”

Slated for Oceanside Place Sept. 10-12 with games running all day every day, the tourna-ment features four age divisions — the 60s, 65s, 70s and 75s.

JILL DAVIESSpecial to The NEWS

Kinkade Road leads to a beach that has much to o� er. At low tide, beyond the pebbles and stones are sandy swathes, perfect for the bucket and spade brigade while endless tidal pools beckon exploration with a host of small � sh, beach crabs and pink, purple and sun-� ower star� sh . When the tide is high, bound by a rocky spit, the water is warm and forms a pool, sandy bottomed and deep enough in which to swim. A raft provides a convenient diving platform and is a cool place for the big-ger kids to laze away an hour or so.

Behind and set well back from the beach, there are a number of small cabins. � ese once were part of a summer resort visited each year by returning families who, in turn, became � rm friends. � ere came a day how-ever, many years ago, when the owner of the resort decided to sell the cabins. On a sin-gle day, the � ve cabins were purchased by the families who had previously rented the cabins each summer. � e title constrained further sale of the cabins, requiring that they be retained and passed on within the‘company’.So who was on the beach?

On a warm afternoon in late August, close to the water’s edge, was a cluster of adults, children and dogs, revisiting the childhood of the adults while building summer memories for the little ones.

Jeremy Halstead explained that his 90 year old grandfather was one of the original purchasers. He described the childhood he shared with his siblings; one that included holidaying at the cabin every year of his life. � is summer he returned as ever, now with his wife Jeanine and their small children Hay-ley and Brodie. Said Jeremy: “� ere are four generations here, including my grandpa who still swims with us every afternoon.”

Sharing the holiday were his sister Dawn and her childhood friend Angela, both with their children. Dawn and Angela revealed that as small girls, during their early child-hood days at the cabins, they formed what has become a lifelong friendship.

Dawn added: “We think we have a piece of gold here. � is is our own secret place. We feel privileged and very blessed. However, it’s such an amazing story that it is nice to be able to share it.”

“� ere is timelessness about this place,” observed Angela. “And it’s not just the legacy of our own memories because we are still cre-ating those for our own children.”

Said Maddi: “It’s really fun to come down to the beach, swim, have picnics and build sandcastles. When the tide is out we look for crabs and build houses for them, though of course we always make sure we put them back at the end of the day.”Surfside Drive West

Easily accessed from the parking lot, beach shoes are recommended to cross the upper shore with its raft of barnacled rocks, � at stones and pebbles. At low tide the sea rolls back to expose a stunning beach that to the North reaches the mouth of the Little Qualicum River. � e beach comprises broad sandbars, tidal pools and provides endless playtime for children. While the sandbars are perfect for building sandcastles, the shallow water’s edge is safe to paddle and fun to skim board. If there is a breeze, there is no better place to � y a kite.

A word of warning though: Once the tide turns there is a point at which the water rolls in surprisingly fast. As the channels between the sandbars � ll and deepen, adults could � nd themselves wading back to the upper

shore laden with small children and all the beach paraphernalia. Parents need to be mindful that small people playing unsuper-vised would quickly become cut-o� or out of their depth.Who was on the Beach at Surfside West?

On a breathless summer afternoon there was a single family encamped way down by the water’s edge. Said Victoria “I grew up here. And now it is just perfect for my own children. As the tide goes out so far there’s lots of sand to play on and tide pools to ex-plore. It is so peaceful here”.What might you see there in earlySeptember?

A 10-minute hike along the beach north takes birdwatchers and keen observers of nature to where the Little Qualicum Estuary � ows into the Salish Sea. � is and the prox-imity of the Marshall-Stevenson Wildfowl Sanctuary contribute to the designation of this beach as a ‘Parksville Qualicum Wildlife Management Area’. It is also noted as an ‘Im-portant Bird Area’. Well worth visiting during the migrating seasons, in late August we saw Mergansers, Great Blue Herons, Cormorants, Sandpipers, Black Oyster Catchers and Cana-da geese while listening to the occasional and unmistakable call of distant Killdeer.

PQB BEACHESDirections to Kincade Road Beach:• Travelling North from

Qualicum on H19 passing the exit to the Laburnum Rd Bypass, look on the right for the road sign to Kinkade Rd.

• From the North, after bridging the Little Qualicum River, look for the left turn to Kinkade.

• Follow Kinkade to the end. Between signs on either side advis-ing ‘Private Property: No Parking’ there is a small sign indicating ‘Public Beach Access’.

• There is very little space to park here so consider parking either on Kinkade or just around the cor-ner where the road bears to the left and becomes McFeely Drive.

• A short path winds between the dunes. Inevitably there are bleached beach logs to clamber over or find a way around.

Directions to Surfside Drive West:• Continue along

McFeely Drive for 0.5km and turn left onto Surfside Drive

• Follow Surfside for approx. 1 km.

• At the end of the road there is a gravel parking lot to the right that will accom-modate 8 - 10 cars

• There are a number of signs indicating that dogs should be leashed, no fires or camping permitted and no shell-fish gathering due to possible contamination by Red Tides.

• There is also a sign indicating that this is an Important Bird Area
