PORT ALBERNI TOY RUN

Island’s biggest motorcycle eventEvent has raised more than $1.5 M since 1984CANDACE WU news@pqbnews.com

More than 1,000 motorcyclists took to the road en route to Port Alberni last Saturday.

� e riders left from Little Qualicum

Falls as part of the annual Port Alberni Toy Run (PATR).

“What makes this toy run unique are the thousands of people who line the route to cheer the riders, holding up signs thanking them for helping the children in the Alberni Valley and West Coast communities,” said David Wiwchar, PATR chair.

Wiwchar called it “the biggest mo-torcycle event on Vancouver Island” and “the largest fundraiser in the Alberni Valley.” He said many of the riders are from Vancouver Island but some participants come all the way from Washington State. According to Wiwchar, the event has raised more than $1.5 million since 1984.

Newlyweds Alycia Dunbar and James Matthews share their first kiss as a married couple last Saturday afternoon at the Village Threatre in Qualicum Beach, where they originally met through an Echo Players production in 2012.

AT THE VILLAGE THEATRE IN QUALICUM BEACH

Actors marry on stageVows exchanged in the same place where they appeared together in a playCANDACE WU news@pqbnews.com

Thespians Alycia Dunbar and James Mat-thews fell in love on stage, so it only seems nat-ural the couple would tie the knot at the Village Theatre where their whirlwind romance began.

Dunbar and Matthews, both from the Parks-ville Qualicum Beach area, met byway of a play neither auditioned to be in — and two years af-ter that fateful production the duo headed back to the stage, but this time to get married.

Dunbar shared their serendipitous love story with The NEWS Friday morning, the day before her wedding.

“The director (Wendy Putin) was having a hard time filling the role of a younger woman because most of our acting community consists of retirees,” she recalled. “So she (Wendy) came into the restaurant I was working at and said: ‘You should come and do this play.’”

Dunbar, who has a history in theatre, said she immediately agreed to take on the role.

She remembers her first day of rehearsals,

where she met the actor who was supposed to be her character’s love interest, Arthur.

“There ended up being a conflict-of-inter-est,” Dunbar said. “So the guy dropped out of the play.”

In a last minute scramble to fill the role of Arthur, the production manager sought out Matthews, a young Qualicum Beach man who is known in the Echo Players family.

But it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. Dunbar said the first time she saw Matthews

was at a rehearsal in the midst of Movember, a well-known month-long fundraiser in Novem-ber where men are challenged to grow a mus-tache and proceeds are donated to prostate cancer research.

Matthews was taking part in the fundraising campaign.

“I was looking at him thinking, who is this guy?” said Dunbar, who described his mus-tache as “gnarly, really it was just horrible.”

But once they got to talking, Dunbar said “I realized he was super cute and really funny and we just clicked.”

She said there was a lot of rehearsing “the kiss scene” before the production took to the stage.

CANDACE WU news@pqbnews.com

Regional district directors voted for a raise in remuneration last week.

The decision comes after recommendations from the RDN’s re-muneration committee were sent back to staff for revision by board members.

After the Nov. 15 elections, directors will receive $13,205, up from $11,855, electoral area directors will receive $24,190, up from $18,440, and the chair will receive $19,500, up from $14,395. Remu-neration refers to the annual salary of elected officials, and the deci-sion to up their pay will be ratified at the next regular RDN meeting slated for Sept. 30.

However, not all directors agreed increasing their salary was a good idea.

“I can’t support an increase,” said chair Joe Stanhope, who repre-sents French Creek. “We (the RDN) have always been conservative in trying to keep taxes within the cost of living.”

Stanhope said he got involved in politics “to make my community better” not to make money.

On the other hand, director Alec McPherson who represents Ce-dar, said it’s time to close the gap. McPherson said directors in the RDN make approximately 70 per cent of the salary of other directors in regional districts of comparable size.

“Having been in this for three years and seeing what the commit-ment is, it’s really time to start moving this gap somewhat closer,” he said.

Director Bill Veenhof, who represents Deep Bay/Bowser, agreed with McPherson.

“A decent salary is important if we want young people at this board,” said Veenhof. “Right now the only people who can consider sitting here at this table are people who have a certain level of in-dependent means and that makes us the very people who are least sensitive to tax increases.”

Veenhof said it would be “useful” to have a more diverse demo-graphic at the RDN board to better represent different socio-eco-nomic backgrounds.

“We met November 20, started dating De-cember 1, moved in together January 1 and did the play in February,” Dunbar said. “It was re-ally fast — but you just meet those people you don’t need any time with.”

The play was called You Can’t Get There From Here and it debuted to glowing reviews, but the real-life romantic comedy that ensued for Dunbar and Matthews is what the couple took away from the production.

Shortly after their play ended, Dunbar said she and Matthews went to see another produc-tion at the Village Theatre where she half-jok-ingly mentioned “it would be cool if we got married on this stage.”

“From that moment the seed was planted,”

she said. “Echo Players really was a huge part of us meeting.”

Dunbar said she is “forever thankful” for the-atre.

She describes Matthews as “charismatic and amazing and so funny, I mean I’m pretty fun-ny too but he keeps up with me, he’s absolutely just wonderful — especially when he finally got rid of that horrible mustache.”

Most of the cast and crew from You Can’t Get There From Here attended the ceremony, as well as family and friends of the bride and groom, who were happily married Saturday af-ternoon at the Village Theatre. The bride and groom and their bridal party pranced down the aisle singing — true to theatrical style.

SCOTLAND VOTES ON THURSDAY

AUREN RUVINSKYwriter@pqbnews.com

Many people in the Parksville Qualicum Beach region and around the world are watch-ing Scotland as citizens take a rare democratic vote on independence on Thursday, Sept. 18.

“There’s a lot of sentiment from outside in support of the Scottish people however they vote,” said local resident John Beaton, who came to Canada from Scotland in 1979.

“There’s a lot of eyes on what’s going on,” he said, pointing to specific independence move-ments in Ireland, Wales and Spain, along with the heightened interests of the large Scottish diaspo-ra around the world, which is heavily represented in Canada.

“The world’s kind of chang-ing anyway,” he said. “The status of countries or states is shifting and there’s increased pressure for minority people to have more say.”

According to the 2011 census, there are 4.7 million people in Canada, with 15 per cent of the population claiming some Scottish ancestry, making it the third largest ethnic group. In B.C. that number is 20 per cent and is, anecdotally, a bit higher still on Vancouver Island.

And there have been endless influential Scot-tish-Canadians, from Sir John A. Macdonald and Tommy Douglas to Jim Carrey and Mike Myers.

Canada has experience with independence votes in Quebec, but Vancouver Island Universi-ty professor of political studies Alexander Neth-erton said the two situations are quite different.

He said the discussions in Quebec in recent decades have been “more about what a new Quebec should be like — it’s not about unfair treatment by the government of Canada,” he said, pointing to the main argument from the in-dependence side in Scotland.

He also said that unlike Scotland and En-gland, Canada has never gone to war with Que-bec and we have a very different history.

He agrees with many experts that the Scottish separatists are drawing on that long history, but

are focused on more recent history, feeling mar-ginalized since the Margaret Thatcher era when much of the ship building and heavy industry that made Scotland an economic driver in the union, was sent overseas.

“People in Scotland think of themselves as more social democratic,” Netherton said, adding there was huge opposition to the war in Iraq and the ongoing austerity measures.

Bob Adam, another local resident who came to Canada 47 years ago and runs the local Rob-bie Burns club, said he agrees that those pushing for independence appear unhappy with the eco-nomic and social balance.

“I love London, but there’s a great big sucking sound from other parts of the country. In Scotland, 95 per cent of the tax-es go to London and they dole it out as they see fit,” he said.

That said, Adam said: “while in my heart I would like to see independence, in my brain I know it’s not the smartest thing.”

He points to threats from many of the coun-try’s biggest companies to leave if the vote pass-es, and suggests that while the polls are basically tied, once people get into the voting booths, they won’t vote for such big change.

“Older people don’t want change. To me the only constant in the world is change, but older people are comfortable with what they have and want to keep things the way they are.”

While VIU’s Netherton agrees with the pre-vailing polls that it’s too close to call in Scotland, he said that either way it is an important vote and may be as much about negotiating a new position in the United Kingdom as anything.

He said the strength of the European Union, which troubles the bigger countries like Britain, is useful to smaller countries like Scotland.

Beaton agrees that it’s too close to call, and like Adam is careful not to give his prescription for how people in Scotland should vote on their own future, but when pushed, he did say “If I was there I would vote a strong yes.”

CANDIDATE INFORMATION SESSIONSeptember 17th at 6:30pm

Council Chambers - 660 Primrose Street

When former reporter and columnist Neil Horner last week announced his intention to run for a seat on Qualicum Beach town council, he threw down an ad-ditional challenge to other candi-dates, newbie and incumbent alike.

“In the newspaper business re-porters are told to follow the money,” Horner said. “I think voters should be able to do that prior to casting their ballot. For this reason, I plan to post any donations to my campaign on my website, neilhorner.ca. I urge other candidates to do likewise.”

The key to his platform is simple, he said.

“Council needs to show a whole lot more re-spect for the OCP,” he said.

Horner said he decided to throw his hat into the ring in order to bring some balance to what

he sees as a divisive and dysfunction-al council.

“In almost a quarter century of covering municipal councils, region-al districts and school boards in the north, Central Interior and Vancou-ver Island, I’ve never seen a council quite like this one,” he said.

“Qualicum Beach can do better and deserves better.”

News on all things felineProceeds from subscriptions go to Qualicum Cat RescueBRENDA GOUGHNEWS Contributor

If you are one of those people who likes to watch cat videos on the Internet, then be sure to get a copy of the Whisker Weekly.

Published by 10-year-old Morgan Paul of Qualicum Beach, the newsletter dedicated to all things feline is a good read for a good cause.

Paul sells subscriptions to her publication, with all proceeds going towards making life better for cats.

Now in its fourth year, the Whisker Weekly is not only informative, it is also a revenue gener-ator for Qualicum Cat Rescue, which over the past 10 years has found homes for more than 1,500 cats and kittens.

The young cat lover likes to write about her own fur babies, Maxwell and Zach, as well as her friends’ pets.

“I started writing it when I was six years old. I originally wrote it for my parents and grand-parents. My best friend Ember Westerhoff helps me … she has a cat, too.”

She said now that the word is spreading about her newsletter, donations are starting to increase.

“I do about three (issues) a year and I usu-ally make about $50 a year for the Qualicum Cat Rescue but this year it is more like $80,” she pointed out.

The August issue of the Whisker Weekly fea-tured an obituary on Bossy T Cat who passed away on August 5.

“Bossy T Cat was my grandpa Bill’s cat. It lived to be 21 years old,” explained Paul.

The tribute describes Bossy T Cat as a won-derful cat with a mysterious past and a fashion sense. She lived long past the demises of her siblings Fluffy, Tibs and Tux, as well as the ex-pectations of everyone.

Page three of the publication has some origi-nal artwork of Paul’s in the Cat of the Week sec-tion, where a Mary Poppins cat looks ready to

take flight.Paul said she likes drawing pictures of cats

and taking pictures of them.Page four has a photo of a cat wearing a cone

and looking grumpy after having a lumpectomy on August 12. The good news is Maxwell the cat is now cone free and fully recovered from his surgery.

From a Dear Tabby column to a pie chart illustrating a day in the life a cat, the Whisker Weekly is sure to bring a smile to your face and help a good cause.

Barb Ashmead of the Qualicum Cat Rescue said Paul has raised a lot of money for her orga-nization and said she is an amazing young girl.

“Sometimes we have copies in the store but mostly Morgan goes out and sells them. People love it. She is such a great kid and all her efforts help us because everything we get goes back into spaying and neutering cats,” she said.

The Qualicum Cat Rescue is located at Quali-cum Pet Foods and Grooming at #104-166 West 1st Ave. Kitten viewing hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

Resorts, glass master honouredTOURISM VANCOUVER ISLAND’S ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND AWARDS

Jim Owens of Tigh-Na-Mara remains the group’s marketing chair

Resort Drive businesses and a lo-cal glass master were honoured with awards last week during Tourism Van-couver Island’s annual conference, this year held at Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort in Parksville.

Sponsored by Golf Vancouver Is-land, the Power of Partners Award was presented to the Resort Drive commu-nity in Parksville during the awards gala portion of the conference last week. The Resort Drive community consists of Tigh-Na-Mara, Beach Acres Resort, Madrona Beach Resort, Ocean Sands Resort, Ocean Trails Resort, Oceanside Village Resort and Sunrise Ridge Resort. According to a Tourism Vancouver Island (TVI) news release, this group has joined forces to create a community rather than a competition for guests. The group pools financial and human resources to put on special events each year, which add value for guests and locals alike. Their signa-ture event, Party on the Drive, attract-ed more than 7,000 people earlier this month.

The FortisBC Award, which the TVI said recognizes a business or or-ganization that utilizes natural gas in their tourism related operation, was

presented to Parksville’s Robert Held Art Glass “for converting an empty, run down mechanic shop into an ex-pansive studio that welcomes visitors and local alike. His studio has become iconic and the driving force behind the revitalization of the South Parksville industrial Orange Bridge area.”

“We developed our awards program as a way to celebrate tourism busi-nesses who collaborate, are innovative and go above and beyond to help grow tourism in the region,” said Dave Pet-ryk, President and CEO of TVI. “This year’s winners have truly captured the essence of what we are looking for.”

The business meeting wrapped up the conference on Friday, with the an-nouncement of the incoming board of

directors for the 2014 – 2015 term. Carol Ann Terreberry returns for the

second year of her two-year appoint-ment as chair of the board. Terreberry is the Operations Manager of Quadra Island Golf Club on Quadra Island, the newest golf facility on the west coast. 

Jim Owens of Tigh-Na-Mara re-mains an officer of the association as its marketing committee’s chair.

TVI is one of six regional destination management organizations in British Columbia that represent Destination British Columbia through the delivery of co-operative marketing and com-munity development programs.  For information about Tourism Vancouver Island and marketing initiatives, visit www.tourismvi.ca. 

TVI describes itself as a destination management and marketing organiza-tion whose mission is “to increase the economic benefits that flow from tour-ism to the Vancouver Island region” and a vision of “the Vancouver Island Region will be internationally recog-nized as a preferred travel and getaway destination.” The organization is a not-for-profit association representing the tourism stakeholders within the Van-couver Island region, which includes Vancouver Island, Victoria and the Gulf Islands as well as a stretch of the mainland coast between Moses and Bute Inlets.

Of the rural communities in the Parksville Qualicum Beach area that receive transit, Deep/Bowser residents are the least satisfied with the bus system.

Less than one in five residents indicated they were “satisfied” with public transit in the region.

Director Bill Veenhof, who represents the area, said the results come as “no surprise.” Veenhof said the bus runs from Nanaimo to Deep Bay once per week on Tuesdays. He said an average of eight people use the service, which also doubles as the area’s Handydart.

“The people who are using it (public transit) are elders who have lost their driving privileges and, to a certain degree, youth,” said Veenhof. “Mostly it enables aging in place.”

He said there is a demand from his constitu-ency for daily service, however, most would like to see a bus route that connects to the Courte-nay/Comox area, instead of Nanaimo.

Currently, Veenhof is looking at working in conjunction with the Comox Valley Regional District to provide daily service to his electoral area.

RDN general manager of transportation and solid waste Dennis Trudeau confirmed transit’s plan includes the possibility of getting daily ser-vice to the Deep Bay/Bowser area going north, instead of south.

Trudeau said the results of the survey, in terms of low satisfaction with transit, are con-sistent with what RDN officials have been hear-ing through public outreach.

“If you want more of something it means you must not be satisfied with the current system,” said Trudeau, who noted transit has expanded dramatically over the last decade now offering service on all statutory holidays and weekends.

Trudeau said “ridership has gone from un-der two million to three million by listening to our ridership group.”

He said transit has a “20 year future plan” which brings together stakeholders, students, municipal staff and B.C. Transit in an effort to prioritize how to best expand transit services. He said in 2015 there will be transit expansions in Nanaimo, more connections to the Parksville Qualicum Beach region and more service to VIU.

He said the RDN will continue to listen to residents and expand transit routes based on demand.

The RDN’s current transit system does not provide service routes to Errington or Coombs.

Director Julian Fell, who represents the area, could not be reached for comment by press time.

Trudeau confirmed there is currently no bus route that goes up to Errington or Coombs, but noted RDN officials haven’t heard from people in the area demanding public transit be ex-panded to their region.

“There is always a right time for transit to ex-pand,” said Trudeau.

It’s a classic Catch-22.

How can the Regional District of Nanaimo jus-tify the expense of better and more frequent bus service to communities in and around Parksville Qualicum Beach if there is no evidence of rider-

ship to show its need?But isn’t the ridership low because of the spotty, or

non-existent, service?It’s no real surprise a recent RDN survey revealed tran-

sit as the issue people are least satis� ed with in terms of what the RDN supplies (see reporter Candace Wu’s story in this issue of � e NEWS).

Imagine, if you will, being a 14 or 15 year old — or a senior who no longer drives, or a one-car family whose bread-winner has the vehicle all day — living in Nanoose Bay, Errington, Coombs, Whiskey Creek, Qualicum Bay, Bowser or Deep Bay. Most of those places have little or no bus service and that’s a considerable amount of people.

You are stuck. Or you bike. Or you walk, if you can. Or you continuously try to bum a ride. None of these options are all that great.

We, as a society, keep talking about reducing our car-bon footprint. Oh yeah, we talk a good game, like the two women we witnessed on the ferry recently who climbed out of their older model, gas-guzzling SUV that sported all sorts of bumper stickers suggesting we must do every-thing in our power to stop pipelines, stop work in the oil-sands, etc. etc.

� ere are buses now that burn cleaner fuel, but cash-strapped regional governments don’t have the resources to stretch their transit systems away from the most heav-ily-populated centres. � is does nothing to reduce the amount of cars on the road.

� ere has to be some solutions to this quandary. A better organized car-pooling system through social me-dia (the Errington Free Riders Association? Coombs Cars for Kids?) could be an answer. A bigger-picture answer would be to have more services available close to home (a major expansion of the West Errington Mall?) so peo-ple can walk. Not sure how that would work, however.

� en again, there is this train of thought: like those who live on Gulf Islands and complain about the ferries, didn’t the people who moved to these remote locations do so to stay away from the bustle of bigger communities, which includes transit? Just asking.

THE GREEN WAVERe: Ed Fergusson’s recent letter

(‘Trudeau’s Point,’ The NEWS, Aug. 26).Do not despair. There are alternatives to

our current government and change is on the way. I like to think of it as the Green Wave.

Elizabeth May and the Green Party are an exciting, dynamic alternative. If you want real change, may I suggest you check out their platform at www.greenparty.ca. They have a great platform on a wide variety of is-sues. Very impressive. You will be impressed. It might lead you to consider another choice.

LIBERTY BRADSHAWParksville

QB ELECTION Q’SWith the coming municipal elections,

there are several questions we electors in Qualicum Beach need to ask ourselves as well as the candidates for council. I am con-cerned about espoused policies, not person-alities. I am not a candidate for Council.

What process will be utilized to determine future use of the former bus depot site?

Why was the process to develop the last few official community plans (OCPs) so flawed? Did you feel manipulated by the quality of life survey? Did you feel your con-cerns were heard and acted on?

What town policies could be created to encourage private investors to replace the significant number of downtown buildings that are well past their best before date and in some cases derelict?

Why is it that, with an OCP that encour-ages the creation of more homes close to downtown and when an investor proposes to create those homes that instead of dis-cussing the substantive issues associated with the proposal, we get sidelined into an argument about how many stories the pro-

posed building will be?With Qualicum Beach’s social history and

economic heritage based on visitors to our town, why is it that we now have two fewer hotels than we once had to accommodate those visitors? Why is it that when we put so much effort into creating wonderful events for visitors and residents alike that we es-sentially tell many visitors to go elsewhere at night for meals and accommodation?

Why is it that when our OCP encourages environmental sustainability and a social-ly vibrant, diverse and walkable downtown that there is so much car oriented develop-ment happening outside our town and so little residential development within easy walking distance of our downtown?

Who is responsible for abdicating our town’s responsibility for making land use decisions within town boundaries to other jurisdictions?

Why do we lack an integrated coherent strategy for our town’s future?

What do you think are the best solutions to our town’s problems? Why are investors going elsewhere? How can we become more competitive as a place where families will want to live, work, play and invest?

RUSTY JOERINQualicum Beach

STRIKE BENEFITSThe British Columbia teachers’ strike has

caught the attention — and the aggrava-tion — of parents and politicians. Plenty of blame has been tossed about in this politi-cally-charged debacle that began long be-fore June 2014, when the teachers first began their picket parade.

Back in the day when I attended school, for most of us, our favourite subject was something called “Summer Holidays.” Face it — for many of us, school was something

to be endured rather than enjoyed. Which leads me — on behalf of thousands of the province’s children and young people — to enumerate some unrecognized benefits of this extended time off:

• Fun. Yes, fun. Does anybody remember the wonderful, care-free days of summer? Doesn’t it give you a vicarious thrill when you think of thousands of children enjoying the blissful freedom of an extended summer?

I remember one autumn morning, only a half-hour after class commenced, a loud “Boom!” startled us Grade 2 students. The exploding furnace gave us all the day off. Yay! For a seven-year-old, there’s nothing quite like an unexpected, extra holiday.

• Creativity. What better challenge can there be for thousands of young people and their parents than to be faced with the ques-tion, “What do we do with all this unexpect-ed time off school?” It kinda inspires creative, initiative thinking, which children will need to tackle the real world when they are adults.

• More time together. OK, OK, I know that many parents have to work. But many will alter their work schedules or take some ex-tra days off to spend the unexpected holiday with their children. Your sons or daughters will only be young once. When they get old-er, you will be glad you made extra time for them. And they will remember it for years.

• Appreciation. Yep. There’s nothing like this extra time spent, to inspire appreciation for the many hours that teachers spend with your son or daughter.

Which brings me to my final observation; what job in the whole world is almost as im-portant as that of a mom or a dad? I would answer, “Teachers.” They have devoted their careers and much of their lives to guiding and instructing some of the most precious people in the world — our children.

We deliver The NEWS!Robert Hadley, CarrierBusiness

A popular investment product these days is the Income Fund. An income fund is a mutual fund that is structured to pro-vide regular income, typically monthly. An example would be Canada’s largest mutual fund in the Canadian Dividend and Equity Income category: RBC’s Cana-dian Dividend Fund Series T8, which pays a target distribution of eight per cent.

When compared to other income-ori-ented investments, this seems quite at-tractive.

Consider for example the iShares Divi-dend Aristocrat’s Index ETF: an exchange traded fund that tracks an index entirely comprised of Canadian companies that pay dividends, and have increased their dividends five years in a row. Currently this ETF features a 12-month trailing yield of 3.27 per cent.

Or there is the Raymond James Divi-dend Plus Guided Portfolio, consisting of 17 Canadian stocks, all of which pay divi-

dends. Currently the portfolio yields 3.48 per cent.

When you consider that all three in-vestments have similar mandates, and in fact have many of the same underlying investments, how is it then that the income fund pays so much more.

There is a simple answer. In the case of the mutual fund, the eight per cent is a distribution yield (not a divi-dend yield). The fund does earn dividends, but not at eight per cent. To be precise, in 2013 the fund’s dividend yield was 1.5 per cent.

So with a distribution that came in at 8.2 per cent, where did the remaining 6.7 per cent come from? Return of capital, as it hap-pens. In other words, investors were paid back their own money.

This can be a good thing, and here is why: Return of Capital is not taxed. So by keeping the dividend yield low, the amount of tax that will need to be paid is also low. This does create a deferred tax li-

ability, but in some cases it is worth it.

However, it is a double-edged sword: the more you withdraw over and above the dividend yield, the more you rely on a rising market to make up for what you with-draw. When you consider that fees also need to be covered, an eight per cent distribution is not easy to maintain. If you are intent on keeping your principal in-tact, consider the

following options:• Opt for a lower distribution. The

above-mentioned fund, for example, also has a five per cent option. There will still be

down years. But in the long run, a five per cent distribution will be more sustainable.

• Invest in a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks, and only take the dividend income. The underlying stocks are likely to rise in value over time, as are the divi-dends. Your income will start lower, but will increase from year to year.

DOLLARS AND SENSEBy Jim Grant

BUSINESS PROFILE

Selling the latest kitchen gadgets for two decadesPatrick Simpson says his business continues to growAUREN RUVINSKYwriter@pqbnews.com

After 21 years of success, What’s Cook-ing is having its best year ever.

Patrick Simpson, who opened the Qualicum Beach shop with his wife Vick-ie Sissons in 1994, said their model is to “provide high quality items and prices that still make sense.”

The goal was always a “true kitchen shop,” or the ‘store for cooks’ as their cards say, rather than just a gift shop.

“As one client put it, we sell good prod-ucts and stand behind them with knowl-edge,” he said.

“A lot of stores don’t have these kind of products and we like to give advice on (for example) wooden spoons — it’s not just the complicated stuff.”

Simpson said that as a culture in gen-eral these days “we’re starved as custom-ers for knowledge and service,” and they pride themselves on providing high end service.

The couple first discovered Qualicum

Beach when they helped his father move to retire here. He said they loved the place and started talking about moving here, almost as a joke at first.

With a three year old and another on the way, they figured it would be a great place to raise a family and with a love of cooking, they’d dreamt of opening a spe-cialty kitchen store.

They both had high stress jobs in Van-couver, Simpson working for an insur-ance company. Within seven months of that first visit here, they sold their house, moved to the Island, opened the store and have been active community mem-bers ever since.

They are involved with the QB Down-town Merchants Association and their sons Trevor and Adam are Kwalikum Secondary grads, on to further education at UBC and VIU respectively.

“Qualicum Beach is a great place to get involved, there’s no big line up to get into hockey or whatever organization,” he said touting the vibrant service groups in the area like Rotary and the Legion.

Simpson also feels his positive sense of community is part of their success.

“You hear a lot of negativity, but en-

thusiasm and attitude drives everything,” he said of the current business climate. “Enthusiasm creates activity.”

“I still get excited about flippers, or the latest gadget,” he said. “People ask what’s the cool new thing and I get to show them this great garlic press.”

And that’s part of why he thinks busi-ness is still increasing after 21 years.

Sales were solid in the usually slow first four months of the year, he said. June and July set new monthly records, August was close and September is still going strong.

The little gourmet store continues to sell the latest gadgets along with a wide range of everything for the kitchen.

Check them out at 177 W. Second Av-enue.

Piano duo kicks things off Oct. 3LINDA MATTESON-REYNOLDSNEWS Contributor

Excitement is building, as Oceanside Classical Concerts gets closer to the long-await-ed inaugural concert of their 2014/15 season on October 3.

“Classical music has the ex-traordinary power to commu-nicate, inspire, uplift and en-tertain. This concert series will be held at Knox United Church, which has tremendous accessi-bility, great acoustics and com-fortable seats,” said the concert’s artistic director, David Douglas.

The three-concert series fea-tures prominent Canadian art-ists of international stature who will entertain the audience with their high calibre performances of classical music.

It all starts Friday, Oct. 3 with the Bergmann Piano Duo. They have been described as artists who present “razzle dazzle” and “electrifyingly rendered” recitals (Vancouver Sun) and they have touched and inspired audiences with their uniquely eclectic per-formances for more than two decades. Their programs draw from an extensive repertoire

ranging from the baroque to the contemporary.

Performing on Friday, Nov. 24, musica intima has earned a reputation as Canada’s most ex-citing vocal ensemble. They are internationally renowned for their warm and engaging stage presence, impeccable musi-cianship, and unique perspec-tive on ensemble singing.  musi-ca intima is frequently heard on national and international radio broadcasts and have released seven commercial recordings.  

The Juno Award-winning

Gryphon Trio will delight audi-ences on Friday, Jan. 23. One of the world’s pre-eminent piano trios, their highly refined and dynamic performances are part of their commitment to redefin-ing chamber music for the 21st century. Their repertoire rang-es from the traditional to the contemporary and from Euro-pean classicism to modern-day multi-media.

Oceanside Classical Concerts

is presented by the Oceanside Community Arts Council and corporate sponsor, The Beach Club Resort.

“I would like to take the op-portunity to thank everyone for becoming part of this new ven-ture in bringing classical music to the “Oceanside” communi-ties. We are very excited about the three diverse concerts we are presenting this year,” said Douglas.

Time is running short to pur-chase your subscription that is available at the McMillan Arts Centre, The Beach Club Resort and Knox United Church office until the day of the season pre-miere. All subscription sales will close at 4 p.m. on October 3.

Performances will be held at Knox United Church in Parks-ville starting at 7 p.m. (doors opening at 6:30 p.m.). The cost for the series is $95/person and will not be available for purchase on an individual-concert basis.

For more information, call the McMillan Arts Centre Tues-day through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., 250-248-8185.

QUALICUM BEACH AUTHOR

A view of the future where dolphins rule the worldLISSA ALEXANDERreporter@pqbnews.com

When our civilization ends, who or what will rule the planet?

It’s not a new thought, but a local au-thor has created an intriguing fictional scenario in a series of books where a highly intelligent and social species is at the helm — dolphins.

Hendrik Witmans has been interested in science, technology and mankind’s position in nature since he can remem-

ber. He grew up in Holland and studied science in University before emigrating to Canada in 1967. He attended the Uni-versity of Waterloo and studied psychol-ogy and philosophy as well as writing.

He is now retired and living in Qua-licum Beach, where he’s putting the fin-ishing touches on his sixth and seventh novels in his Oscar series.

Witmans began writing the initial tril-ogy of books in 1997 and that led to the

idea for the prequel books (leading up to the original books.)

“People kept asking me, how did this happen? How did the dolphins come to rule the world?” he said.

From there he wrote The Thought Kill-er, a gripping book about a scientist who is fed up with the state of the world and decides to try and change it. He creates a virus that raises human consciousness to a more spiritual, less materialistic level,

but things don’t go exactly how he had planned.

That book and the second volume in the series, called The Mind Cleansers, are available from www.amazon.com, and the paperback edition is available through www.createspace.com.

Those sites are also selling Witmans’ book Problems with Portals, an anthol-ogy of futuristic short stories.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? Members of the Parksville and District Chamber of Commerce took on some challenging choreography Thursday night during their regular month-ly meeting, this time at The Beach Club Resort. Innovate Dance Arts owners Sarah DeVito and Deena Carl recently joined the Parksville chamber after taking over the Parksville Ballet School. They brought some of their young students to assist in the fun routine on Thursday night, which will be used in a promotional video for the Parksville chamber. Above, DeVito teaches some of Parksville’s business leaders a few dance moves.

Child Haven fundraiser Oct. 17

Witmans said he doesn’t write to get rich, but instead to try and get his message across.

“We think we own the planet and we don’t, that’s my philosophy behind all these books. And the only way we’ll ever change is if we change our thinking.”

A link to the sites to buy Witmans’ books can be found on his website, along with more infor-mation on the author: www.qbwriter.blogspot.ca.

Email him at sfwriter@shaw.ca or call him at 250-752-4581.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE A23He doesn’t write to get rich

It has often been said that it takes a village to raise a child. In the case of Child Haven In-ternational it is taking many villages to raise more than 1,500 children.

This year’s Child Haven Fundraiser will take place Oct. 17 at the Parksville Commu-nity and Conference Centre. A vegetarian dinner will be served with entertainment to follow.

Oct. 17, 2015 will mark the 20th year District 69 has sup-ported the work of Child Haven International (CHI) by hosting a major fundraising event.

CHI was started in 1985 by an Ontario couple, Fred and Bonnie Cappuccino. Now in

their 80s, this dynamic cou-ple remain committed to their mission of providing a nurtur-ing and caring environment to many of the world’s most vul-nerable citizens.

CHI has created and contin-ues to support nine children’s homes in India, Nepal, Bangla-desh and Tibet. Through cul-turally appropriate care that fo-cuses on health and education, children in these homes are given the opportunity to grow and become self sufficient con-tributing members of society. Over the past 20 years, citizens of Parksville Qualicum Beach have generously contributed many thousands of dollars to support this non-profit charity.

On Oct. 17, Rikhi Datt, own-er of Go Mango Indian Foods in Courtenay, will prepare some delicious fare. Datt hails from a family tradition of Indian cook-ing and restaurant ownership and has become somewhat of a local hero in his tireless sup-port for Child Haven. Guests will also be able to meet Bon-nie and Fred Cappuccino at the event. Tickets will be available Sept. 26 at the following out-lets: Heaven on Earth, and The Shoe Inn, Qualicum Beach and in Parksville at Fireside Books and Amrikko’s Restaurant. For more information contact annagr@shaw.ca or swedish-blue@gmail.com.

B.C. team wins all-western final of Mixed Pairs Championship Saturday

Nationals deemed a success herePARKSVILLE LAWN BOWLING CLUB PLAYS HOST

Generals earn their first victory of the seasonVIJHL HOCKEY

T YSON TAYLORsports@pqbnews.com

After a tough loss on Fri-day night against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings, the Save–On–Foods Oceanside Generals snapped their winless streak, beating the previously unbeaten Westshore Wolves 4–3 on Satur-day night.

The Generals dropped their Friday night tilt in Comox 6–1. Goaltender Austin Caktas got his first start in that game, a few days after turning 17. Caktas and the Generals were under fire all night and, had it not been for Caktas’ play, it could have been a lot worse.

Jarrett Weme, from Parksville, scored his first of the season, the only goal for the Gens on Friday.

“Austin had a great game for us on Friday, he stood on his head and faced a lot of rubber,” head coach Jason Johns said. “The chemistry is coming. We’ve had two games now with our roster and stumbling out of the gates like we did, we’re starting to show what we can do with the full roster.”

Saturday was a different story. The Gens came out strong from the opening faceoff, with Wyatt Meiers, assists to Jonah Pearson and Mathieu Jallabert, getting

the ball rolling for the offense, scoring his first VIJHL goal for the Generals on the power play in the first period. The Gens had a lot of time on the power play in the first, managing to capitalize once on six tries.

The second period saw a re-versal, as the Generals found themselves down a man on the penalty kill often. Westshore managed to tie it up just before the halfway point in the second. With the game tied at 1–1, Pear-son sent PJ Heger in on a partial breakaway, as Heger skated hard to track down the pass, drove to the net and shoveled it past the

Wolves goaltender, shorthanded, to give the Gens a 2–1 lead going to the third.

“It felt good to get the first one, real good,” Heger said. “I didn’t think I’d get to the pass but when I got the puck and took it to the net, I knew I had a chance. I didn’t see it go in at first but you’ll take it anyway you can get it.”

Building off that late goal in the second, the Gens would add two more to kick off the third as Logan Savard, from Jacob Long-more and Bruyckere (second assist of the night) put one home three and a half minutes in. Lo-

cal player Weme would add an-other goal just two minutes later, his second of the season, as he found the loose puck and put it home for what turned out to be the game winner.

“It was a lucky one, for sure,” Weme said. “The puck came right to me and I was able to put it home, so it’s good. Feels good, getting one for the boys, no mat-ter what, it always feels good.”

The Gens are back in action this weekend in Campbell River to face the Storm on Friday, then host the Buccaneers on Saturday and face the Kerry Park Islanders in Mill Bay Sunday.

The Parksville Lawn Bowling Club was home to the Canadian Nation-al Mixed Pairs Championship Sep-tember 7 -13. Spectators, including a busload of fans from Victoria, were treated to some of the very best lawn bowling as bowlers vied for top title.

Perfect weather, great greens and exceptional shot making were all part of the week’s matches. By Friday it was clear that it was going to be an all west play down. Saskatchewan’s Keith and Jean Roney went up against the B.C. “B” team of Lisa Cheung and Stephen Yung of the Richmond Lawn Bowling Club. Cheung and Yung pre-vailed to take the bronze medal.

The gold medal game, held Satur-day afternoon, saw British Colum-bia’s team “A” of Christie Grahame and Marlene Cleutinx meet the Al-

berta team of Heather Mackie and Pat Bird. At one point in the game the score was 12- 1 for B.C, and a blow-out appeared imminent.

However, the Alberta team dug deep and found its legs mid way through the eighteen end game and pulled within three. They were de-nied in the final end, only being able to score one point. The Grahame/Cleutinx team prevailed and took first place and the gold medal.

The closing ceremonies saw the medal winners, umpires and volun-teers of the club piped onto the green by the 2422 Canadian Scottish Reg-iment of the Princess Mary’s Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps. Mary Wright of Bowls Canada officially closed the games, thanking the club for all their hard work to make the games the great success that they were.

Not even the school strike could put a stop to both the junior and senior Ballenas Whalers football teams taking part in some action this past week against the Belmont Bulldogs in Vic-toria.

The Whalers, from the B.C. AA High School Football league, went up against the AAA Bull-dogs and showed that they could compete with the big schools (based on student enrolment), but both Whalers teams lost, with the seniors going down 34-14 and the juniors 15-6.

While the strike continues, the high school football season is well underway, though it has come with challenges.

The Whalers are without their head coach Jeremy Conn, who as a teacher is not available to coach during the strike.

Assistants Dan Smith and Trevor Shields have taken on the coaching, with Smith on the offensive side and Shields on the defen-sive side. It’s something that the team has been getting used to over the first few weeks of the season, practices included, and it’s a matter of time before it all starts to come together.

“It’s been a change, but the kids are adjust-ing well,” said Shields. “We have some kids who haven’t even come out because of the strike,

thinking that the football season isn’t happen-ing thanks to that. But we’ve been out here and hopefully the word can get out to the rest of those kids who were thinking of coming out to play. We’re here and we’re going.”

Holding practices three times a week, the ju-nior and senior Whalers have been on the field together, working on their games together as a unit, giving them all a chance to not only get in some good practice time but to help each other learn.

“Real nice to see, for sure,” Shields said. “Both teams have been working very hard in practice and we’re all happy that the season has started, as much as you can call it a season at least. Playing some meaningful games, whether or not we know if they even mean anything, has been refreshing for everyone.”

With no telling how long the strike is going to last, the season will continue as it has for the first two weeks. While the students wait to get back in to the classroom, the students who’ve enjoyed the game of football continue to do so.

“Hopefully, for their sake, something gets re-solved soon,” Shields said. “Our seniors, some of them, it’s their last kick at the can. They want to impress scouts and stuff like that and it’s re-ally hard to show with the strike going on.”

The Arrowsmith Tennis Club (ATC), which is based at Springwood Park in Parksville, has been busy again this year with fun, daily drop-in sessions.

This year the membership included 44 wom-en, 74 men and 24 juniors. Play will continue year round as long as the weather allows.

On a more competitive level, the ATC ladies

team (3.0-3.5 level) repeated their success of last year by winning their division of the North Island League. The team was invited to play in the Tennis B.C. Miele Provincial tournament in Whistler. With a second place finish last year, the team moved up a division and came in fourth out of six teams.

Next up for the ATC is the mixed tournament championship, Sept. 19-21. Visit arrowsmitht-ennis.ca for more information.
