LIVESTOCK KILLED

Pit bulls attacking

Sheep slaughtered in Hilliers; fear for children JOHN HARDING

editor@pqbnews.com

Five sheep are dead and three others — pregnant ewes due to deliver in three weeks — are fighting for their lives after allegedly being attacked by a pack of marauding pit bulls in Hilliers last week. The owner of the sheep is concerned children in the area are also at risk of attack. One of the dead sheep — its name was Shirley — was raised as a pet by Amber Dawes’ son Taylor. The dogs, who live across the Alberni Highway from the Dawes farm, killed Shirley and four other sheep on Thursday, Taylor’s seventh birthday. “They (the dogs) killed her on his birthday,” said Dawes. “They ripped her apart — she was the first to go.” Dawes offered some photos of the carnage, but The NEWS determined they were too graphic for these pages. “They (the dogs) chased them (the sheep) through the field and left a string of bodies,” said Dawes. “These dogs need to be put down.” Dawes said she has been in contact with Oceanside RCMP, the SPCA and animal control. She also said this isn’t the first time dogs have come on to her property and attacked her animals. A number of quail were killed by dogs a few months ago. “They (the quail) were my kids’ pets,” she said. “They (the dogs) had to chew through heavy-duty plastic to get to them (the quail).” Dawes said she was under the impression the federal Livestock Protection Act allows for domestic farm animal owners to shoot dogs who come on to their property and are attacking their livestock.

dotes shared by readers relating their experiences at the health centre, Sujata Connors has a lot of work ahead of her. Connors recently became the director of the OHC, taking over for Sheila Cruikshank, who has retired, according to Island Health. Cruikshank, a Parksville resident, held a number of positions in Island Health before becoming the OHC’s director, including time as the vice-president

of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. Connors, who has a background in nursing, comes to the OHC from Island Health’s Seniors and Spiritual Health program. She arrives at her desk at what seems to be a trying time for the new facility, which Island Health says is seeing 62-72 patients a day in the urgent care clinic, which opened Sept. 16.

Great Shakeout is today at 10:17 a.m. AUREN RUVINSKY

writer@pqbnews.com

When the ground starts to shake — drop, cover and hold on. If nothing else, emergency officials from local all the way up to international, hope people will remember the routine learned through the annual Great Shakeout, the world’s largest earthquake drill. More than 24 million people around the world are registered for the exercise, which will take place at 10:17 a.m. this morning, but organizers stress the timing isn’t as important as getting people to think about their own preparedness at home and work. “We hope it doesn’t happen, but we know it will, it’s not a matter of if, but when,” Parksville emergency coordinator Aaron Dawson previously said. Aside from the drill, people are encouraged to use the event to plan and prepare for an emergency in general. People should have a minimum three day supply — experts prefer a week — of water, food and crucial items like lights, batteries, first aid supplies, medications, toilet paper, cash and fuel or alternate cooking facilities.

Fish trying to access the sea from Nash Creek will now be able to make the journey. The creek in Bowser is one of six in that area being worked on by the Nile Creek Enhancement Society (NCES) and a number of partners, to clear cobble and gravel at the mouths of the creek. Historically there used to be huge numbers of coho salmon in the area, said Ken Kirkby, president of NCES, and the impediments represent one of the reasons there has been declining numbers. Severe winter storms in the area produce a tremendous amount of debris, such as logs and rocks, that collect on the beach around these

stream openings. The coho tend to come back to these small streams in December or January, Kirkby explained, when there is usually an early snow melt and the odd pineapple express that blows the mouths of the streams open. “It allows fish to go up creek and spawn, then other storms come in afterwards and block it,” he said. “Therefore, when the fish hatch, and they’re smolts, and they (try to) go to sea, they can’t.” In the past, NCES has been rescuing the salmon by trapping them and transferring them to the ocean via Nile Creek, but it was getting to be “a bit much” Kirkby said, as volunteers are aging among other challenges. The group has had great support from the community, Kirkby said, and now funders and partners have also assisted the group in its endeavours to clear the streams, build stable stream beds, and employ measures to ensure they don’t become blocked again anytime soon.

RAISING AWARENESS FOR

BREAST CANCER

“I don’t want to shoot the dogs, I love dogs, but it will be a kid next,” she said, adding that children must walk past the property containing the dogs every day to and from the school bus. Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman confirmed Tuesday police are investigating the incident involving Dawes’ dead sheep. He also said vicious dog situations are handled at the local government level, in this case the Regional District of Nanaimo. As for the Livestock Protection Act, The NEWS was getting conflicting reports about its relevance in this situation. The regional district and its contractor for animal control services is also investigating. There’s a process to follow that includes collecting statements and other evidence, and talking to the owners of allegedly dangerous dogs. The RDN’s manager of building and bylaw services, Tom Armet, said Tuesday provisions of the Community Charter do allow local governments to step into situations quickly, if required. “When you have a serious situation occuring, the regional district can apply for a seizure warrant,” said Armet. Dawes said she has operated kennels in the past and she said she believes bad owners are to blame for the bad acts of their dogs. “But once they (dogs) are on something, you can’t stop them,” said Dawes. “There are bad ones (owners) that make everybody look bad.” Other reports from the same rural neighbourhood by hobby farmers indicate there have been problems with dogs — and not only pit bulls — chasing and attacking livestock in the area for months. Hilliers is a small community about 10 km west of Qualicum Beach.

Trout Unlimited Canada, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, Vancouver Island University, LGL consultants and the Royal Bank of Canada’s Blue Water Program have been instrumental in the project, said Kirkby. Nash Creek was completed earlier this month, the second such stream to be worked on in the area.

That project alone cost about $35,000. Kirkby said the work is very rewarding as it is everyone’s job to ensure this type of work gets done. “It’s not just about fish, it’s about human beings,” he said. NCES will work with its funders and partners to continue the work on the

THURSDAY SPOTLIGHT: People, places and issues of the Parksville/Qualicum Beach region FireFiGHTer recruiTinG

Fire departments open to all Errington fire fighter Stacey Price enjoys the challenges and excitement in the public service Brenda GouGh news contributor

Formerly an all-male profession, firefighting no longer has a huge gender gap as more and more women prove they can do the job. The Errington Volunteer Fire Department (EVFD) has a number of female firefighters who are part of a team constantly training and upgrading their skills. Stacey Price joined the department in July 2012 and said although it is hard work it is also exciting and rewarding. She said it was something she had always wanted to do but it wasn’t until she was invited to check out the department by Shawn Heine who is also a female firefighter in Errington that she actually seriously considered it. “I joined because I wanted to feel like I was part of the community and that I was doing something helpful.” Price is a single mom who is raising two children and working full time and she admitted her volunteer work in the department can be challenging but that is one of the reasons she became a firefighter. “It can be physical. I had to adjust to the weight of the turnout gear and on top of that the SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus),” she explained. At first Price was concerned her fibromyalgia, a chronic disI joined because I wanted order that causes widespread to feel like I was part of the pain in the muscles as well as community and that I was other symptoms, may get in the doing something helpful way of her progress. stacey price But despite her health issues she has proven she can handleall aspects of the job and after 15 months has advanced from a new recruit to a probationary firefighter. “My fibromyalgia has been more in control over the last few years so I took a chance and challenged myself. I wanted to see how far I can push myself. I have some issues with fatigue but I still manage to keep up.” Price hasn’t gone on a lot of calls but she attended her first structure fire this summer where she got to use her firefighting skills. Price is moving her way through the ranks and is looking forward to her next achievement … getting her yellow hat. She said she enjoys the camaraderie among the crew and the ever-changing exciting field of fire-

fighting and encourages more people to consider volunteering for the EVFD. Each firefighter brings individual strengths to the team and volunteers don’t need any experience to join but they do need to be physically fit and have a desire to learn. If you want to learn more, you can come out Sunday, October 20 and meet the volunteers who provide fire and emergency services in the community.

The public is invited to an open house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Errington Fire Hall where members will be demonstrating some of their procedures as well as serving hot dogs and other refreshments. A representative from Genesis Fire Protection Ltd. will be on hand to answer questions about fire extinguishers and children can get a photo with Smokey the Bear and participate in some hands-on demos. Fire hall No. 1 is located at 960 Errington Road.

“While we have had many compliments about this new service, we have also had some complaints, the majority around long waiting times to be seen,” Island Health’s regional manager of communications, Valerie Wilson, wrote in an e-mail to The NEWS on Tuesday. “We do apologize to our patients, and we are sorry to hear that some patients have not had a good experience at the OHC urgent care. We encourage them to bring their concerns forward to OHC leadership or our patient care quality office.” Wilson also said the public may not be clear as to exactly what the urgent care clinic is for, what ailments it is designed to treat. “Urgent care is not a walk-in clinic for minor, non-urgent medical ail-

ments,” Wilson wrote. “Patients are assessed by a nurse when they arrive for urgent care, and the most urgent medical conditions will be seen and treated first. Urgent care is also not designed for emergency conditions that need treatment in hospital (e.g. trauma, heart attack or strokes).” Wilson was asked about staffing levels at the OHC, specifically related to the urgent care clinic. “We currently have a day shift and evening shift physician,” Wilson wrote. “We now are also bringing in a second physician to cover the busiest parts of the day as they are determined by our waiting time tracking, so that there will be two physicians working during these high patient volume times.” Wilson said the OHC has a wait-

time tracking system in place and are continually monitoring wait times. “While we see patients as quickly and efficiently as possible, there are times when waits are longer and this can be attributed to several factors, including more urgent cases that need to be seen ahead of less urgent cases,” Wilson wrote. “We want to thank the residents of Oceanside as well as other users the Oceanside Health Centre for their patience and understanding in these early days of operation of urgent care.” There is a fact sheet available online that describes just what kind of ailments are treated through urgent care: http://www.viha.ca/NR/rdonlyres/8B9B60C1-FEDE-4EAA-89D4982290E8AF74/0/factsheetoceansideurgentcare.pdf

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ADOPT INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW NO. 688, 2013 Pursuant to section 59(2) of the Community Charter, notice is hereby given that Council of the Town of Qualicum Beach intends to adopt InterCommunity Business Licence Bylaw No. 688, 2013, and of the opportunity for persons who consider they are affected by the bylaw to make representations to Council. Bylaw No. 688, if adopted, will establish an Inter-Community Business Licence, in conjunction with neighbouring communities, that will provide qualified mobile businesses doing business in one or more participating municipalities with the option to purchase one business licence and eliminate the need to purchase separate business licences for each municipality in which they operate. As an example, a contractor based in Qualicum Beach, would still purchase a Qualicum Beach business licence, but would only have to purchase one additional licence at a cost of $150 to also do business in all participating municipalities. Participating communities include: City of Campbell River, City of Courtenay, City of Duncan, City of Nanaimo, City of Parksville, City of Port Alberni, District of North Cowichan, District of Lantzville, Town of Comox, Town of Lake Cowichan, Town of Ladysmith and Village of Cumberland. How do I find out more information? A copy of the proposed bylaw and related information may be viewed on the Town’s website at: www.qualicumbeach.com or in person at the Municipal Office, 201-660 Primrose Street, Qualicum Beach during regular office hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, except statutory holidays.

Mayor says he’s received no angry responses AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com

Parksville is hoping for a good turn out at its next city council meeting when it moves to the McMillan Arts Centre to take a less formal, more town-hall-style approach. As part of its ongoing effort to reach out to the community, council has held a number of meetings in different community locations over the last few years, when it tries try to have items on the agenda of wider public interest.

This Monday, Oct. 21 starting at 7 p.m., an hour later than usual, the agenda includes the possibility of narrowing Highway 19A through downtown and canvassing the provincial government for a casino. Mayor Chris Burger recently floated the casino idea as a way for the city to make money, along with the possibility of growing medical marijuana, which will not be on the agenda as it is first going through council’s citizen advisory committee.

How do I provide input? Speak at the 7:00 pm, October 21, 2013 regular Council meeting to be held in the Council Chamber, 660 Primrose Street, Qualicum Beach OR provide your comments in writing by noon on Wednesday, October 16th , to the attention of the Corporate Administrator, in one of the following ways: Email: tcoates@qualicumbeach.com Regular mail: Town of Qualicum Beach, 201-660 Primrose Street, PO Box 130, Qualicum Beach, BC V9K 1S7 In person: 201-660 Primrose Street, Qualicum Beach, BC Fax: 250.752.1243

“The response has been very quiet, I haven’t got a single angry e-mail,” Burger said a week after The NEWS published his comments. “I’ve talked to some people who are clearly uncomfortable with the idea of the casino,” he said, but added everyone has a different idea of what a casino may be. Burger said that while marijuana isn’t on the agenda, the open format will allow discussion if people raise the issue. The meeting is at the McMillan Arts Centre, 133 McMillan Street.

Written submissions provided in response to this consultation will become part of the public record which includes the submissions being made available for public inspection at the Municipal Office and on our website as part of a future Council Agenda.

Anna Cook shows off one of the Christmas donation displays they are setting up around the Parksville Qualicum Beach region.

Filling shoeboxes with gifts AUREN RUVINSKY

writer@pqbnews.com

Local organizers hope to contribute to more than 100 million gift-filled shoe box donations this year. Operation Christmas Child, a project of the international Christian relief organization Samaritan’s Purse, is collecting gift-filled shoe boxes for children in the developing world. Local coordinator Anna Cook said they are looking for any donations, but especially school and hygiene items and toys and small gifts, that

will be reorganized and sent to six Latin American and two African countries. In 2012 British Columbians collected 30,000 boxes and 862 were sent from Oceanside. They are looking for all the regular school supplies like pens, pencils, erasers, note books etc. and any non-liquid hygiene items like combs, brushes and soap. Cook invites the public to their big distribution day today (Oct. 17) at the Pym Fellowship Baptist Church 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. to get more information and pick up an empty box to fill. After today there will be donation stations at most churches and Loonyrama beside Thrifty Foods. People can pick up a box to fill and return or just drop off items by Oct. 23 so they can be sent to organizing in Nanaimo and on to Calgary.

Survey released on coal proposal CoalWatch president John Snyder says findings from a recently-released survey indicate respondents overwhelmingly rejected coal mine development in the Baynes Sound area. The Baynes Sound Opinion Survey on Shellfish Aquaculture was conducted by Vancouver Island University’s Institute for Coastal Research. “Of the dozen issues presented in the survey, 75 per cent of the respondents considered coal mine development to have a negative ef-

fect on the well-being of communities in the Baynes Sound area,” said Snyder. “These findings support what we’ve been saying for years." “A project like the proposed Raven Coal Mine Project has not been granted social license by the residents of Baynes Sound communities.” Here’s a link to the study: http://www.viu. ca/icr/files/2012/06/Baynes-Sound-Opinion-Survey-on-Shellfish-Aquaculture-Report-20130927.pdf — NEWS Staff/Submitted by CoalWatch

Befuddled by the OHC

here’s a level of confusion, and no shortage of frustration, for many people who enter the Oceanside Health Centre expecting treatment. We have heard more than a few stories about wait times exceeding six hours for those who believe the urgent care clinic at the OHC is where they should be for their particular ailment. Island Health, aka the Vancouver Island Health Authority, has tried to explain to residents what can, and cannot be treated at the OHC urgent care clinic. People either aren’t reading or haven’t been reached in a manner that gets the point across. That stated, Island Health should not have expected anything different than what they are seeing one month after the opening of the urgent care clinic. Until Sept. 16, Parksville Qualicum Beach residents who needed help after hours or didn’t have a family physician (which is more than 1,000 people), or couldn’t get in to see their family physician, went to the one and only walk-in clinic in the area, in downtown Parksville. That clinic is now closed, at least as an off-hours walkin clinic. So, if you need a prescription re-filled, or some stitches taken out, or you have a deep cut or your child has a nasty ear-ache, you would naturally believe the OHC is now the place to go. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn’t. But it’s not like someone who is experiencing a level of trauma is going to check a menu online to see where he/she should go. If it’s not an ambulance call and/or something clearly serious enough (eg. heart attack) to warrant a trip to the emergency department at Nanaimo Regional Hospital, people are going to head to the OHC. As well they should. It is the provincial government that rolled out this health centre model as the latest and greatest in community health care. Initially, understanding a hospital was not a realistic answer for this community, we were in full support of this model and this facility. It’s too early to call the OHC a failure, a model that just doesn’t work. Growing pains are to be expected. However, instead of managing expectations, Island Health needs to better understand we have no walk-in clinic any longer, and this new, $17 million, taxpayer-funded facility needs to provide, at the very least, what that clinic did in the past.

Maybe it was my live interview with Dr. Dennis Brown halfway up Mt. Everest (what's this phone bill to Tibet? asked my publisher). It could be snorkeling the Englishman River to count salmon or perhaps flying an airplane around the Bowron Lake chain or collaborating with a reporter from Michigan to find out what happened to the ringleader of the notorious Galoshes Gang (he got eaten by dogs near Barkerville). Maybe it was exposing the sordid goings on at Jesus House in Quesnel—I won best feature series in Canada for that one. I don't know. There are so many. All I can say is it's been a gas. To all of you who shared your story with me, thank you. I hope I told it well. To all

those whose names I misspelled, did you ever think I might have done it deliberately to pass myself off as being only human? Something to think about. I like to think my colleagues are going to miss me, but my advice to them is to look at my departure in a positive light. Just think, when I'm prancing around Qualicum Beach in my mankini and sunglasses on Beach Day next summer, they'll be able to say in all honesty that, "no, he doesn't represent the paper." And that should be worth something.

Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ call the island a “gem in Canada” and “captivating” Vancouver Island remains No. 1 and continues to be recognized as a premier vacation destination. North America's largest Pacific island, with its irresistible mix of pristine wilderness and top-ranked food and lodging, has again been voted one of the world's leading island destinations. This week, Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice awarded Vancouver Island No. 1 Island in Canada. The Gulf Islands were named the No. 3 Islands in Canada. Record numbers of 79,268 readers, almost double the number of survey takers in 2012, participated in the annual survey and many Vancouver Island destinations were rated among the best. British Columbia’s capital city of Victoria was named the No. 1 city in Canada and is also home to several winners in the Top Hotels in Western Canada category. Hastings House on Salt Spring

Island took the No. 3 spot in Western Canada with Sooke Harbour House at the No. 8 spot. Following close is the Magnolia Hotel and Spa at No. 10, the Hotel Grand Pacific at No. 12, the Fairmont Empress Hotel at No. 15, and the Inn at Laurel Point at No. 18. In the Top 15 Resorts in Canada category, the Wickaninnnish Inn in Tofino takes the No. 1 spot. Black Rock Oceanfront Resort in Ucluelet is in the No. 7 spot, with Brentwood Bay Resort and Spa following closely at No. 8. Also on the list in the Vancouver Island region is Poets Cove Resort & Spa on Pender Island at No. 14, and Pacific Shores Resort and Spa in Parksville at No. 15. This prestigious travel magazine has been conducting a Readers' Choice award program since 1988 and Vancouver Island has remained among the top islands since 2000.

Vancouver Island also offers laid-back pursuits continued from page a15

The awards captured the following in their description of Vancouver Island: Readers implore visitors of this “captivating gem in Canada” to stay as long as possible, since there is simply "so much to see and do." It's ideal “if you are an outdoor enthusiast or interested in artists like potters and glassblowing,” but Vancouver Island also offers more laid-back pursuits such as “lovely scenery and lots of wineries to visit.” Whether our readers traveled here for the salmon fishing, the sailing, the “beautiful beaches” or the “wonderful people,” they seem to agree that, as one reader put it, it's “the epitome of being in the Pacific Northwest.” Tourism Vancouver Island is one of six regional destination management organizations in British Columbia that represent Destination British Columbia through the delivery of co-operative marketing and community development programs. To access information about Tourism Vancouver Island and marketing initiatives, please visit www.tourismvi.ca. For general travel information on Vancouver Island, Victoria and the Gulf Islands, please visit www.hellobc.com/vi or www.SeeVancouverIsland.com. — Submitted by Tourism Vancouver Island

Bob Klaassen, president of the Oceanside Woodcarving Club, is proud of the wooden quilt his members created which now hangs at Oceanside Middle School where the carvers meet every Tuesday morning to turn wood into art.

OCEANSIDE WOODCARVING CLUB

Gratifying craft and hobby Group has 35 members and meets every Tuesday BRENDA GOUGH NEWS Contributor

For those who have never experienced the satisfaction of a sharp tool whittling through a piece of wood then perhaps it is time to take up woodcarving. Bob Klaassen president of the Oceanside Woodcarving Club says there is nothing more gratifying than turning wood into art work. Woodcarving has been around just about as long as people have been on earth and over centuries it has undergone many changes but the art form has never died and according to Klaassen is now enjoying a resurgence. Even if you haven’t touched a tool for a while Klaassen invites you to join the club whose members are happy and eager to share their knowledge, techniques and skills with others in a social environment. Klaassen who has been carving wood since he was 12 years old says he is self taught and got his inspiration from the things around him. “I was living on a farm. I started on my own. I had no books. My dad carved a little boat for me and my brother carved a horse ... what I now call

Norwegian style craft with no details, but I wanted to do something with more detail,” he explained. Klaassen wants to spread the word about the Oceanside Woodcarving Club which meets at Oceanside Middle School (OMS) every Tuesday from 8:30 until 10:30 a.m. “We have 35 members now but I am interested in seeing more people do it because it is a definite form of art.” One ambitious project the group completed this year was a wooden patch-work quilt which now hangs at OMS. Klaassen said he borrowed the idea for the project after attending an international carving show in Texas a few years ago in which a group of women who also did quilting patched six inch carved squares together into a wooden quilt. “I thought gee … what a great project for the group. We got busy and in June we donated ours to the school.” In January, Klaassen will be teaching a 10week course at the SOS Family Centre for 15 to 18 year-olds and he is confident that getting more youth involved will keep the traditional art form alive. A member at the Parksville Seniors’ Activity and Drop-in Centre, Klaassen would also like to teach a carving course at the centre. He said it is a great activity for seniors.

CHILD HAVEN FUNDRAISER

Fred and Bonnie will be honoured The couple adopted 19 children from orphanages

A Canadian charity that has been helping destitute children in developing countries since 1885 will be counting on the generosity of people in these parts at an upcoming fundraiser. The Child Haven International fundraiser October 25 is a long standing event in the area that used to be called Sojourn to India. Fred and Bonnie Cappuccino began helping needy children years ago when they adopted 19 of them from various orphanages around the world. Once their children were grown up the Canadian couple dedicated their lives to their charity and for years have been assisting children and women in developing countries in need of food, education, health care, shelter and clothing, emotional and moral support. The Cappuccinos, who are celebrating 60 years of marriage this year, will be the guests of honour at the event which at one point this year was not going to take place. New volunteers stepped up to make sure the fundraiser went ahead and one of them, Cilla Lewenhaupt says they are making some changes. “The new people on the committee want to bring their own ideas. We have rescued the event and we want to change it up. The goal is still the same

which is to raise money for a great charity,” she explained. She said almost everyone on the committee has been going to the dinner for years but they also wanted to get some new blood in there. This year the focus is on entertainment and delivery of a festive, bustling kind of atmosphere. “We want to get people moving and talking and having fun and socializing.

It used to be that people would come and line up and wait for their dinner, and sit at their table. This is not a waiting thing … it will be energetic.” There will be enough seating for all so for those who are not milling around, finding a spot to eat, drink and enjoy the fun will be easy. People can come and go anytime and they will be treated to something special each of the three hours, say organizers.

ASR: looking for people like you Searching for wandering people and new search members On Sunday, October 27 Arrowsmith Search and Rescue (ASR) will be out in Parksville and Qualicum Beach demonstrating Project Lifesaver. Project Lifesaver is a public safety program recently offered to the residents of Oceanside, designed to locate and protect persons missing due to wandering. Look for teams out in public using their equipment to locate people carrying the transmitter. For more information contact Nanaimo Lifeline at Lifeline.Nanaimo@viha.ca or 250947-8213. ASR is looking for new members this season and is calling on everyone interested in spending time outdoors and being involved with a dedicated group of volunteers to check out their training courses starting Oct. 24. The Member-in-training course held every Thursday evening starting Oct. 24 is a great, no-commitment way to see what search and rescue is all about. Check www.asar.ca or e-mail arrowsmithsar@shaw.ca for more details. — Submitted by Arrowsmith Search and Rescue

Whalers snap two-game skid in style BSS junior and senior football teams record big wins at home JAMES CL ARKE

sports@pqbnews.com

The boys from Ballenas were battle ready last week as both Parksville’s football teams posted well-earned wins. The Jr. Whalers got the ball rolling last Wednesday on home field with a 20-10 win over the Barsby Bulldogs, and the seniors followed suit with a decisive 33-18 victory over the NDSS Islanders. Key to the JV’s win was the play of their defence. “I was really happy how our defence stepped up and put the pressure on the Barsby offence. We stopped their run and were ready for their screens,” said Whalers’ head coach Jeremy Conn. “Our kids played good hard clean and smart football. this is a really encouraging sign as it’s a group of highly skilled and highly committed athletes that are a pleasure to coach. In action in Nanaimo last Friday, the seniors snapped a two game losing skid and looked good doing it. According to coach Conn, the Whalers opened the scoring on their first drive when fullback Coltin Laplante broke up the middle for a 50 yard TD. Laplante found the end-zone again on

The Whalers’ defence was outstanding against Barsby in JV action last week.

the next drive from two yards out for a 13-0 first quarter lead. The Islanders countered with two TDs to make it 13-12; Childs pulled in a 15 yard TD pass, and NDSS responded for a 20-18 Whalers’ lead at the half, at which time Conn said they

“made some adjustments and decided to keep the ball on the ground and out of the hands of the explosive Islanders offence.” Tailback AJ Messner had himself another great game, piling up 122 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. Laplante

finished with 21 carries for 157 yards. QB Garrin McDonnell was 6-for-7 passing for 118 yards and a TD pass. Childs led the Whalers’ receiving corps with four catches for 92 yards and a major. On defence, Laplante, the

league leader in tackles, added another five tackles along with a key interception in the endzone and an interception. Corner Cobby Stubbins had two interceptions; safety Ben Francis had five tackles, and Brock Mould had three tackles and a fumble recovery. “I was nervous going into this game as NDSS has some really good firepower on offence,” said coach Conn. “I thought we had them bottled up but they hurt us in the second quarter. I was proud of the adjustments our kids were able to make at halftime, and we executed much better in the second half. GAME ON: Now 2-2 in league play and sitting fourth in the seven-team Western conference, the varsity Whalers are home this week for a rare Saturday game when they host the Frank Hurt Hornets in a non-conference matchup. Kickoff is 12:30 p.m. The Hornets are currently 3-1 and sitting second in the sixteam Southern conference. The JV Whalers’ improve to 2-1 and are jockeying for top spot in the Island division. Ballenas’ next conference game is Oct. 31 when they host the NDSS Islanders.

Changes continue as Generals add new coach JAMES CL ARKE

sports@pqbnews.com

It’s been busy couple weeks for the Save-On-Foods Oceanside Generals, and with the changing of the guard complete, the attention now shifts back to the ice. At the rink Tuesday night for his first practice with the Generals was newlyinked head coach Dan Lemmon. Lemmon, 27 and a former General and BCHL standout, takes over a team mired in an eight-game losing streak and sitting last in the VIJHL, a team that is near the bottom of the stats in special teams and is 0-9-1-1 on the season when trailing after 40 minutes, a position they’ve been in in 11 of their last 14 games. Lemmon anchored the Generals defensive corps for three seasons (20022005) playing 126 games before two seasons with the Cowichan Valley Capitals. The Generals’ captain and top D-man in 2004/05, Lemmon was also top defenseman for the Capitals in back-to-back seasons (‘05/’06, ‘06-’07), playing 126 games. Lemmon received a scholarship to the

Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in ‘06/’07, but chose instead to stay close to home and to be with his ailing father. Raised in Winnipeg, he moved to Nanaimo with his family at 16 and was an all-star at pretty much every age level. Lemmon is coming off his first season as a head coach with the North Island Silvertips AAA Major Midget team that went 18-18-4 , and spent two seasons prior with the team as an assistant coach. “It happened pretty quickly,” Lemmon, who was a fan favourite back in his playing days here, said of the process. “I got the call, they expressed interest. I wasn’t going to do any coaching this year, I kind of decided against it early on in the year (but) the opportunity arose, so as an alumni and former captain I thought it would be a good opportunity to jump in.” He came out last Saturday to watch the Generals for the first time this season. “Obviously there’s some skill here. They’re not a 1-12-1 team skill-wise I don’t think. I think the team just needs

a bit of structure; they’re making some plays in their own zone, making things hard on themselves like going up through the middle instead of using the walls. Just from what I saw during that game I think they need to work on some forechecking and they need to work on their defensive zone stuff. There’s a lot of things that just implementing a bit of structure and some systems could really help this team, and I think you’ll start to see some different results in the next couple weeks, hopefully tighter games against better competition.” The Generals lost 6-2 to the Storm in Campbell River last Friday, and followed that up with a 6-3 loss to the Westshore Wolves at Oceanside Place Saturday night before an announced crowd of 185. Bright spots on the weekend included the play of Gens’ starter Liam Giroux who faced 66 shots in Campbell River and was the game’s second star in front of a crowd of 750 fans, and forward Domenic Kolbeins, who had a goal and a helper and earned third star for his efforts Saturday.

Asked if he feels any pressure coming back to his old team in the situation it’s in, Lemmon said “I don’t feel any extra pressure at all. I want to come in, I want to do a good job and I put pressure on myself to do a good job. “What they’re doing hasn’t been working for them,” he said, “so there needs to be some changes. I think there will be a few players coming in the next little while, and a couple players going out, but I think overall, from what I saw on Saturday, they just need to know what they’re doing, where they’re making mistakes. It’s a good team, they’ve got good goaltending, and obviously they have some firepower up front. “I would say my strong point will be on the defensive side of the puck, that will be my focus, especially right away with the amount of goals that this team is giving up, teaching the D-men defensive positioning, our forwards offensive and defensive positioning.” See ChangeS, page A38

Boys soccer action JAMES CL ARKE sports@pqbnews.com

High school soccer is in full swing, and Oceanside’s boys teams are ramping up for the playoffs. In senior boys action, the Kwalikum Kondors settled for a 1-1 tie against the Dover Bay Dolphins last Thursday. “We dominated the second half but could not beat their goalie,” Kwalikum head coach Butch Gayton said after, adding “we are injury-riddled right now.” The Kondors were trailing 1-0 at the half after scoring on a play in which KSS keeper Matt Griffith separated his shoulder diving for the ball, and Brayden Osborn scored to tie it 10 minutes into the second. Griffith is gone for the season. The tie leaves the Kondors 3-0-1 and top of the heap in their league with one game remaining. The team then shifts its attention to the eight-team AA North Island championships Oct. 29-30 hosted by KSS at Merle Logan Turf Fields in Nanaimo. The top five advance to the Island finals Nov. 5-6 at UVic in Victoria.

BSS striker Ian Whibley’s six goals in two games has the Whalers in the win column.

There are 17 senior boys teams vying for one of the eight spots in the AA North Islands. Meanwhile down the road, Ballenas Secondary’s senior boys bounced back from their opening season loss to KSS with a pair of wins, beating NDSS 8-0 last Thursday, and the Wellington Wildcats 6-3 on Tuesday.

GAMES ON: The Kondors are home at QB Rec Fields today (Oct. 17) against the Woodlands Golden Eagles, and the Whalers host the Dolphins from Dover Bay. Both games at 3:30 p.m. IN JR. BOYS action, the Kondors continued to roll with a come-from-behind 3-1 win over previously unbeaten Woodlands last Wednesday in Nanaimo. The two teams played to a scoreless first half, and the Golden Eagles took a 1-0 lead 10 minutes into the second half, but it wasn’t enough as Kwalikum got two goals from Blair Stewart five minutes apart and an insurance marker just before the whistle by Tyler Lucente. The young Kondors closed out the regular season at QB Rec Fields on Wednesday (score unavailable at press time). A win would lift them to 5-0 for a lock on the top seed heading into their eight-team North Island playdowns Oct. 23-24 in Courtenay. The top three teams advance to the Island’s, being hosted by Brentwood College in Mill Bay Oct. 30-31.

Given his coaching experience is in Major Midget, coaching 15-17 year olds, Lemmon said he likes the fact the team he’s taking over is on the younger side. “I think those kids are more open minded, they want to work their way up to Jr. A, to the WHL, and further their careers. There’s a place for the 19 and 20 year olds in Jr. B, but yeah, I’m excited to be working with a younger team. “Discipline’s a big thing in hockey, especially when you have the worst PK in the league so you can’t be taking penalties after the whistle. That’s something I’ll be talking to them about, and everything’s going to be whistle to whistle. We’re going to be a team that finishes our checks during the play and then when the whistle blows it’s just hands down, we’ll take those punches, get on the power play and hopefully hurt teams that way.” It is, he agreed, a long season. “I think the season’s starting right now for this team. I think there’s a couple guys coming in that could change the course of this team and I’m going to stress to the kids that right now this is a new beginning.” Rob Gaudreault will stay on as an assistant coach and will be a valuable asset. “I’m excited to work with him,” said Lemmon. “He’s been here for two years now so he can show me the ropes, so I’ll be leaning on him for a lot of information early.” Lemmon has also brought in Braeden Lattanzi, his assistant coach with the Silvertips and good friend of his, familiar with his coaching style, just to serve as an extra set of eyes for a month before he heads off traveling. Working with the Generals’ new GM, Lou Gravel, he said, is also “a huge plus.” “He’s got a lot of experience and a good eye for talent, I’m really looking forward to working with him.” Gravel was in great spirits Tuesday night as the coaching staff prepared to meet the team. “I love challenges like this,” said the

longtime BCHL scout, who remains head scout for the Cowichan Capitals. “I think it can help both organizations,” he said of the two hats he’ll be wearing. “I think it can help the ‘Caps as far as our evaluation of Jr. B players, and it can help (the Gens) as far as bringing players to this organization, so it helps both clubs. “Our priority is to bring back the competitiveness,” he said. “I’ve seen this team four or five times this year and there’s some good young players here, but too much is put on their shoulders. Some of the top players are the youngest players on the team. Jr. B is not just for guys that are not making Jr. A, it’s for prospects.” “I love this, and with a guy like Dan who’s coached at the Major Midget level, that’s the kind of guy we want to bring on board, the kind of guy that sees it the same way.” Generals’ president/governor Sylvain Giroux said while they had a few people that expressed interest in the head coaching job, it was Gravel’s rec-

ommendation of Lemmon that was the deciding factor. “I think it’s awesome,” he said of signing an alumni as head coach. “I think it’s actually good to have a little bit of a younger coach. To me, I just look at it like we’re starting to get going back in the right direction.” ICE CHIPS: Full details were unavailable at press time, but Giroux said he has four or five new players due to arrive this week including a D-man from Orlando, Florida and a forward from Michigan along with another goalie from the KIJHL. In the meantime the Generals are looking for billets. Anyone interested in helping give a player a place to call home can go to the Generals web site — generals.vijhl.com GAME ON: The new-look Gens are at home for two big North Division games this weekend. Saturday night they host the Campbell River Storm (7:30 p.m. start) and Sunday they take on the Comox Valley Glacier Kings (2:30 p.m. start).

Harvest Fun: Enjoy a fall day at Silver Meadows Farm in the pumpkin patch, cruising on a hay ride or wandering through the corn maze—like Lina Janeski pictured here— this Sunday, October 20. It’s the annual Harvest Festival, also a customer appreciation day at the farm. A food stand will be run by Errington Elementary School and Island Farm’s Daisy the Cow and Farmer Vicki will be there from noon to 3 p.m., weather dependent. Silver Meadows Farm is located at 1019 Errington Rd. For more on the farm visit www.facebook. com/silvermeadowserrington.

THEATRE

One Act Play festival approaches in QB Seven theatre groups from around the Island are competing in this juried festival happening at the Village Theatre LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com

A chance to see fine acting without any distractions will happen during the ninth annual Vancouver Island One Act Play Festival in Qualicum Beach October 24 to 27. The idea for the festival came from the late Peter Bendz, who felt that one-act-plays didn’t get the attention they deserved and that props would often take away from real acting. He approached then president of Echo Players Doug Toombs with the idea and it’s been running ever since. Toombs still organizes the event with Echo Players member Geoff Jenkins. “We did it to give kids and young people and budding playwrights a chance to shine on the stage,” said organizer Geoff Jenkins, adding that seniors also often participate. This year the performances, limited to one hour in length, will include comedy productions by Victoria’s Monterey Senior Players, Nanaimo’s Gray Owl Productions, Nanoose Bay’s Open Sole Players, and Courtenay’s Little Theatre. Cedar Community Secondary

School and Rivercity Players from Campbell River will also perform comedies, and Qualicum Beach’s Echo Players will perform the only drama. The jurors at this year’s event include lifetime member of Echo Players Ann Gates. Gates has done every imaginable job in community theatre including actor, director, producer, stage manager and makeup artist. But she said she still learns something new whenever she’s involved in a project at the Village Theatre. Juror Eliza Gardiner is a director, playwright and professor of theatre history at Vancouver Island University. She performed her original one-woman narrative folk-opera “Concessions of a Wannabe Rock Star” at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, among many other performances. Shadow Foster is an award-winning director as well as a playwright and his resume includes performing and touring with theatre companies in B.C. and Alberta. The One Act Play Festival is supported by many businesses in the area and the main sponsor is Thrifty Foods. Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek will be opening the festival on October 24. Tickets are $12, $10 for seniors and students per day. That includes two

shows in the evenings from October 24 to 26 and an afternoon show plus the award presentation on Sunday, October 27. Three and four day passes are also available. For tickets call the Village Theatre at 250-7523522. Schedule: Thursday, Oct 24 7:30 p.m. Gray Owl Productions (Nanaimo) Rappaport Redux, comedy, 40 min.

A student from Nanoose Bay Elementary School has made quite an impression on the BC Alzheimer’s Society. Madison Wylie isn't your typical Grade 3 student. Not only did she initiate a bake sale at her school to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society, she also played a huge role in organizing and promoting the event. Wylie has two Great-Grandmothers and a neighbor who have been living with the disease and she is hoping researchers will find a cure. She says because of the disease, she is no longer able to communicate with her great-grandmothers. "One is in a nursing home, the other isn't but she is starting to forget lots. It makes me very sad," she said. With the assistance of teachers and staff, Wylie hosted a bake sale with the goal of raising $300.

"I put up posters and I also went to Mrs. Vaisiuss and asked her if she could help me with something." Newsletters were sent home and on October 10 Wylie and her friends sold treats over the lunch hour. Students lined up to purchase cookies for a quarter and when the bell rang, Wylie had collected more than $325. The total is expected to increase once all donations come in. Save-On-Foods and Thrifty Foods in Parksville generously donated items for the fundraiser. Colette Vaisius a student support services teacher at Nanoose Bay Elementary said when she contacted the Alzheimer's Society to inform them of Wylie's project they advised her that it is the first time a fundraiser for them has ever been initiated by a child. Vaisius said her student did an amazing job and details will be posted on the BC Alzheimer's Society web site.

Vancouver Island is known not only for having the highest density of cougars, but also the most aggressive cougar population in North America. Author Paula Wild will give a slideshow presentation and book signing in Parksville and Qualicum Beach for her new book: The Cougar: Beautiful, Wild and Dangerous (Douglas & McIntyre) on October 24. In the book she states that co-existing with cougars isn’t about fear, it’s about knowledge. The new book touches on natural history, scientific research and her many first-hand accounts in the book. She also reveals photos and detailed information on what to do in the case of a cougar encounter.

Wild will be giving a book signing at Mulberry Bush Bookstore's Qualicum Beach location (130 West 2nd Avenue) on Thursday, October 24 from 11 a.m. to noon, followed by a slideshow presentation at the Qualicum Beach Library (660 Primrose) from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information call the Qualicum Beach Mulberry Bush Bookstore at 250-752-9722. Wild will be in Parksville at the Public Library (100 Jensen Ave E) later that evening from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. with book sales by Mulberry Bush Bookstore.

Community Living month in Parksville To close Community Living Month, the participants of the programs, and local self-advocates, will be celebrating at a Halloween Dance on October 30. Originally co-sponsored by the Parksville Legion, the dance has been moved to Nanoose Place because of the recent flooding that closed the Parksville Legion. The Nanoose Lions are providing the hall at no charge and the admission charge for the dance will be a donation of a non- perishable food item for the Nanoose Food Bank. Community Living Month is a province-wide celebration and this year the theme is Relationships – the Heart of Inclusion. More information about community living and the provincial organization is available at www.inclusionbc.org or www.pdacl.ca.

Smart Mobile Marketing

Preparing your home for sale

Serving the Mobile Customer As consumers begin to move rapidly from PC and regular phones to smartphones, they increase their expectation that everything (especially information) be portable. According to CTIA’s semi-annual wireless industry survey, 90% of Canadian consumers own cell phones - 98% of which are SMS-enabled (Smart Message Service). What is a mobile site and how does this technology work? Mobile sites are designed for the small screen, with the needs of mobile users in mind. A mobile-friendly site will display its content on smartphones across all platforms (iPhones

and Androids). In most cases this information is delivered to the end-user by means of a short code. The short codes replaces the traditional mobile phone number is is normally a 5 to 6 digit numerica code (e.g. 71441) Unlike QR (Quick Read) codes the smart phone users don’t have to download an app this is required to read the code. Smart Mobile Marketing is purely SMS baseda user simply texts a keyword (e.g. MLS219) to a short code and within seconds the requested information is being displayed on the smart phone.

To renovate or not to renovate: Most renovations do not translate into an increase in selling price of more than the cost of the renovations themselves. Painting, wallpapering and modest landscape improvements usually recover their costs, but major projects such as new patios, decks or additions rarely do.

Outside and In: Take a close look at your yard. If it’s spring or summer, prune the trees and shrubs, and keep the lawn neat. If it’s fall, rake the leaves regularly. And in the winter, make sure walks and driveways are kept clear of snow and ice.

When selling your home, it’s more than purchase price and location that will make or break a deal. How your home looks is also very important. Your REALTOR® can give you an objective opinion of what you need to do. REALTORS® have the experience and knowledge that can help identify problem areas or suggest improvements.

Cleaning up the homestead: Almost all buyers are on the lookout for one thing -- a clean home. Many will walk away if a home looks uncared for, or make an offer much lower than the

Making repairs: Some things must be repaired if there are problems. A leaky roof, electrical problems, furnaces, water heaters and plumbing all must be fixed before a sale. Other things just need attention. These can include leaky faucets, holes in window screens and any broken glass, etc. If some of your walls are too dirty to come clean, you may wish to consider a paint job. Carpets and rugs should also be clean and in good repair.

In most cases, REALTORS® will not suggest major renovations. A few minor repairs here and there and a thorough cleaning are usually all that are required.
