PARKSVILLE CURLING CLUB
Study or demolish? RDN debates future of club facing financial squeeze CANDACE WU news@pqbnews.com
The regional district has committed $15,000 to studying the current state of the Parksville Curling Club. This comes at a time when the club is considering its future after losing its 100 per cent tax-exempt status from the City of Parksville. And not all Regional District of Nanaimo directors were in favour of allocating the study money during their meeting last week. The money comes from the Corporate Climate Action Fund and the study will confirm the building’s current level of performance, integrity and life expectancy of it’s structures and major operating systems. “This $15,000 is a good idea,” said Parksville’s board member, Coun. Marc Lefebvre. “I really think it’s a good idea to look at the building.” Lefebvre explained the curling club has been left in a difficult position after the city changed the criteria for its permissive taxation program which used to offer certain organizations — including the curling club — a 100 per cent tax break. Under the new criteria, the Parksville Curling Club only receives a 50 per cent tax exemption. But not all directors said they agree committing more money to the organization is the best idea. “The curling club was given the facility to run and operate on the assumption it wouldn’t cost the RDN taxpayer any money,” said director Bill Veenhof, who represents Deep Bay and Bowser. “And now we’re talking about dedicating $15,000 to the facility — although it’s grant money (not taxpayer money) I get that — but it’s still money that can be used for other things for the taxpayer.” See CLUB HAS 300+ MEMBERS, page A7

BEAR DESTROYED IN PARKSVILLE
Taste of garbage spelled death CANDACE WU
news@pqbnews.com
A male adult bear was destroyed June 23 in Parksville after getting into a north end business’ garbage, according to conversation officer Stuart Bates.
“It (the bear) became accustomed to people,” said Bates. “I personally saw him twice myself within 20 yards.” Bates said conservation officers set up a trap and six days later caught the bear. “This serves as a good reminder for residents to secure their garbage,”

CANADA DAY EVENTS
End the day with a bang No shortage of food, fun and entertainment today in our region
It’s one of the biggest July 1 celebrations on the Island. Canada Day in Parksville starts with pancakes and ends with fireworks. The Shriners Pancake Breakfast kicks things off from 7:30 a.m.-11 a.m. in the Coastal Community Credit Union parking lot at 140 Alberni Highway. The festivities kick up a notch with the big parade starting at 10 a.m. traveling down the Island Highway from Shelly Road to Craig Street downtown, finishing at the Parksville Community Centre. Parksville Rotary PM organizers have added Rotary wrist bands for a suggested $5 donation which will give kids access to a Bounce-a-Rama fun zone, part of the packed lineup of entertainment and food in Community Park. The Thrifty Foods Fireworks Spectacular will start at dusk. Like previous years, there will be road closures on Highway 19A and downtown
for the parade. Community Park will be closed to traffic all day, so look for other forms of travel in the area if you can. There are also Canada Day events in other communities in the region. The national birthday will be celebrated at the Bowser Legion from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festivities include all the traditional family activities with live musical entertainment, a Ladies Auxiliary barbecue, kids’ activities including face painting, cotton candy, hay rides by tractor, a fishing game and other games from noon to 2 p.m. The Corcan-Meadowood Resident’s Association is hosting a party starting at 6 p.m. in Meadowood Community Park, across from the fire hall. In Qualicum Beach, people will assemble at The Old School House for a parade at 11:30 a.m. for the march down Memorial Avenue to the Legion at 180 Veterans Way. The ceremony officially kicks off there at noon followed by free entertainment until 4 p.m. — NEWS Staff

The city just got a little more accessible. The first wheelchair accessible swing in Parksville was installed in June and officially opened to the public last week — it sits at Parksville Beach and according to Parksville Lions president Duane Round kids are “lined up” for the new attraction. Round explained the swing was purchased and installed by the Parksville Lions, the community organization responsible for maintaining most of the park’s equipment. He said the idea came after seeing a picture of a wheelchair accessible swing on Facebook a few years ago. “I saw that picture just as we were planning the outdoor gym (at Parksville Beach),” said Round. “We’re really trying to make the playground more accessible to people in wheelchairs.” Round said the swing cost $5,000 and was purchased

Alders, often considered to be weed trees due to their rapid growth along road edges and other disturbed sites, do something that none of our other trees do. They make their own fertilizer—and for others. Alders are considered “pioneer plants” as they can withstand poor soils and help prepare the way for the coniferous forest to return. Although our native red alders only survive for 70 years, their fertilizer production nurtures the succeeding conifers which will live for centuries. Once the evergreens grow tall they shade out the sun-loving alders. The fertilizer production process in alders is called nitrogen fixation. It is the same process used by soil enriching legumes such as alfalfa, beans and clovers. However, it is not the le-

fall, most deciduous trees extract nutrients from their old leaves, and store them for next spring’s growth. Fall colouration is one of the side effects of this nutrient cycling operation. Nitrogen availability is a limiting factor for most plants, but the alder’s tiny partners supply it with an over abundance of this wealth.

The Dashwood Volunteer Fire Department is turning 30 this month and everyone is invited to the party. The department will host an open house complete with displays, demonstrations and refreshments at their main Hobbs Road hall Sunday, July 27 from 1 p.m.-3 p.m. Board member and the only original fire fighter still active with the department said it was a big step when they established the department with a referendum in 1984. They were the last area on this side of the Island south of Campbell River to get fire protection. “Before that if your house caught fire, it burnt down,” he said, adding that there was in fact a fatal fire between the referendum and the opening of the department to really drive the point home. Soon after the department was up and running under chief Vern Boley, who he said is still around, they got called to a fire that had fully engulfed a shop-outbuilding, but they were able to save the main house. For the first 14 months they operated with a used tank-

er truck and a front mounted pumper truck out of a rented warehouse while they built the current Hobbs Road hall, and Alberg said watching the department expand, take on first responder calls and become more professional has been the most rewarding part of his time with them. “At the beginning nobody had any training,” he said, but they built up quickly and have since had five of their volunteer members go on to become full time professional members at bigger city fire departments. For their original 15 members, they now have around 40 and are always looking for more. “We’re always eager to recruit,” he said adding that
there is a lot of exciting new things going on with training and co-operation with neighbouring departments. Anyone interested in joining or helping the volunteer hall should contact chief Nick Acciavatti at 250-752-5434, firechief@dashwoodvfd.org, or stop by the hall. The department is also holding a giant garage sale Saturday, July 12 as a general fundraiser, including a car wash and scrap metal collection, not including electronics. They are looking for donations of any sellable goods people would like to get rid of to help raise money for the fire hall. Items should be dropped off at the hall at 230 Hobbs Road between 6-7 Thursdays.

Director George Holme, who represents Nanoose Bay, said the curling club is in “bad shape” financially. “I’ve been out of there since 2005 and I’m still getting calls asking for help,” said Holme. “If the city won’t give them a tax exemption then so be it — they’ll have to find the money somewhere — but if we’re going to give them a double whammy we might as well take this $15,000 and give it to a demolition company.” RDN general manager of recreation and parks Tom Osborne said the Parksville Curling Club is an RDN-owned building. “Should the curling club not become operable be it in 10 or 20 years it is still a facility owned
by the regional district and it will come back to the regional district,” said Osborne, adding the RDN will have to decide what to do with the building if the curling club ceases to exist. According to Parksville Curling Club facilities director Spish Legowski, the club has been in its current location at Parksville Beach for 11 years in a building that is 40 years old. Legowski said it is primarily used during curling season which runs from August to April annually. In the off season, he said the building is rented out to other organizations. Legowski said the curling club has more than 300 members.
Another bear gets into coops CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1
Bates said June is mating season for bears. On June 20 conservation officers received three reports of a single bear getting into chicken coops in the Bowser region. Shortly thereafter Bates said a bear in the area was tranquilized, however, officers later received reports leading them to believe the tranquilized bear was the mother of three cubs found nearby. Bates said he doesn’t believe this was the same bear getting into chicken coops and the mother bear was later released to gather her cubs. “We would only shoot a mother bear with
cubs in dire circumstances,” said Bates, adding the single bear getting into chicken coops was not located but COs have received no further reports. “We destroy bears not on their presence but on their behaviour,” Bates explained. “If they (bears) become conditioned (to humans), if they start getting into food, seed or garbage; if they attack livestock of become human-habituated meaning they lose their fear of people.” To report a conflict with wildlife that threatens public safety call 1-877-952-7277.

TRIBUTE FESTIVAL MAY 23-25
Cancer society benefits Organizing committee wants to top it next year AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com
The Vancouver Island International Tribute Festival in Parksville May 23-25 was a bigger success than anyone dared hope, according to organizers. The fun weekend event, which brought in tribute artists from Elvis to The Judds, was also a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. The organizing committee said they thought they were being optimistic, hoping to clear a few hundred dollars profit after all the expenses of the weekend, held at the Parksville Community and
Conference Centre. Last week they presented a cheque for $5,400 to shocked cancer society representative Debi Dempsey, who said any amount was a great gift and this would go a long way to helping with their numerous programs. “Thank you to all the volunteers, the Tribute Artists, all our amazingly generous sponsors, including the City of Parksville and to the audiences who came and contributed by their ticket purchases, the concession purchases, the 50-50 draws — it all went to cancer, and it will all make a difference,” said committee member Sharon Schienbein. Meeting to present the cheque, the organizing committee was already talking about topping it next year.

VANDALISM
Overnight destruction AUREN RUVINSKY
writer@pqbnews.com
The giant sign at the Parksville Salvation Army Thrift Shop asking that donations only to be dropped off when they’re open, is apparently not clear enough. Manager Dave Burns said they have problems with people dropping stuff off after hours, which is then often damaged by weather, stolen, or even worse, vandalized. He explained that despite checking the area frequently, even when they’re closed, either in person or through a camera he can access from home, large piles of stuff are frequently left, and often it’s just straight garbage. Other times people believe they’re doing a good thing, leaving perfectly sellable stuff, he said, which then gets destroyed, which has happened weekly for the year and a half he’s been there. “That’s all stuff that then has to go directly to the dump, costing us an hour of our time, plus that’s stuff we can’t sell.” He pointed out that the point of the thrift shop is to

raise money for Salvation Army programs like the food bank, so people are basically stealing from the poor when they damage stuff, “that’s money that should be going back to the community.” He estimated they lost $250$300 worth of items Sunday
night, pointing to pictures of destroyed furniture and boxloads of goods strewn about. Burns said he hopes it’s mostly a matter of educating people about the damage they’re doing and he calls on the community to keep donating — during business hours.

hat’s next for Qualicum Beach now that the regional district board has decided — well, six out of 16 directors anyway — the town must go through a longer process for changing its growth containment boundary? Nothing much changes, really, and that may be the point. A town that has had its elementary school close and has watched its population decline is not what any sane person would call healthy. A majority of the current council thought this boundary change would encourage growth. We’re not sure that’s true — economics dictate these things more than anything else — but we get the sense this council majority feels it needs to try something, anything, to breathe life into what some indicators (school closure, population decrease) show is a declining town. Our opposition to what the RDN board did last week has nothing to do with any specific development. We still believe the duly elected council of the day in a community should have say over development issues in its municipality, whether that’s Qualicum Beach, Parksville or anywhere else. We believe in local control, period. The people of Qualicum Beach did not elect Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan and empower him to make Qualicum Beach land-use decisions. Regardless, it’s time to look forward. Those who wanted to stop the boundary change often cited the town’s official community plan. More specifically, they were saying any big change like this should come as part of an OCP review. Fair enough. However, as we wrote during Parksville’s OCP review process, we believe these should be living, breathing documents, not Bible-like decrees that can only be changed — and must be followed to the letter in the meantime — every five or 10 years. But it seems to us these same people who believe the OCP is akin to Moses’ stone tablets are cherry-picking. Qualicum Beach’s current OCP talks about carefully-managed growth. It does not say “no growth” or “carefully-managed decline.” Those who seem to be against any moves to encourage growth need to explain, with specifics and without empty references to already-failing strategies, how this community will thrive and survive if the population-decline trends continue. We only hear “no” from this camp, which provides a less-than-inspiring outlook for the future of this unique, beautiful town. — Editorial by John Harding

Letters QB GROWTH FIASCO

QUOTABLE:
“...we might as well take this $15,000 and give it to a demolition company.” GEORGE HOLME see story page A1
So current Qualicum Beach town councillor Dave Willie sees the people opposed to the clear abuse of process in the growth containment boundary fiasco as a special interest group (The NEWS, June 26). From my perspective, I would suggest that Willie’s pals at Pheasant Glen are far more deserving of that designation. Congratulations to the many friends of democracy who jumped into the breach on this file. You won this battle, but the war isn’t over yet. Stay vigilant.
tives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union.” Having walked and talked with our teachers from Ballenas Secondary School to KSS to Errington Elementary and French Creek school during this job action, I have heard firsthand the genuine concern for students, as well as, how working conditions and learning conditions have deteriorated under this government. Please talk to a teacher before casting judgment.

TALK TO A TEACHER
TRUDEAU’S HYPOCRISY
I have been reading with interest recent letters published in The NEWS regarding the ongoing teachers’ strike action. While I appreciate and respect the varying opinions on who is to blame for this job action, I would like to remind students, parents and the letter writers just how we arrived at this impasse and of the tactics that this government has used to discredit teachers rather than negotiating in good faith. Two Supreme Court rulings have found this government’s actions unconstitutional and directed them to resolve class-size and composition at the bargaining table. The B.C. Liberal government has failed to comply with the courts. Justice Griffin stated this grim analyses: “The court has concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union after the Bill 28 decision. One of the problems was that the government representatives were pre-occupied by another strategy. Their strategy was to put pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representa-
Is there anybody left in the country that takes Justin Trudeau seriously when he talks about an “open” nomination process with one breath, but in the next decrees a hard rule that all new MPs must uphold a woman’s right to choose abortion? His stance is clearly unconstitutional, unconscionable and dangerous because it further erodes the right of independence to members of parliament. Freedom of religion under section 2(a) of our Charter of Rights gives every Canadian the right to declare religious beliefs openly and without fear of hindrance or reprisal. Section 2(a) also guarantees freedom of conscience and since a decision whether or not to terminate a pregnancy is essentially a moral decision, Trudeau’s position is in violation of the very Charter he claims to defend. The issue of abortion strikes very close to the heart of personal conscience. Trudeau’s edict goes dead against a long-held tradition of respect in the party system for personal conscience. Trudeau’s radical statements and ac-
tions are beginning to pile up. He has campaigned to legalize marijuana and stated his “level of admiration” for China’s basic dictatorship. Trudeau’s hypocrisy is clearly on display on the issue of open nominations and his claim to defend the charter. He appears to be much more of a radical than a serious contender for being prime minister of this country. GERALD HALL Nanoose Bay
WI-FI NOT DANGEROUS In virtually every house in this city, there are installed devices with the singular purpose of emitting radiation. The device? The common light bulb. Recently, many letters to the editor in The NEWS have been raising concerns about the risks posed by increased Wi-Fi radiation. This is absurd, considering Wi-Fi operates in the radio wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Certain kinds of radiation are harmful, this is true. However, they have much shorter wave lengths, clear on the other side of the spectrum. When people think of radiation causing harm, they’re thinking of ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation, such as radio waves or visible light, doesn’t pose the same risks. There have been studies done, and not one person who claimed to be able to physically tell when they’re in the presence of WiFi or other radio waves have ever managed to demonstrate the ability in a controlled environment. Wi-Fi does not cause headaches. Wi-Fi does not scare away the birds. Please consider reading up on an issue before rallying against it. JEFFREY PETERS Parksville

ISLAND COASTAL ECONOMIC TRUST
Local politicians have roles in Island economic group
RDN’s Joe Stanhope and Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek involved
Mayors from three Vancouver Island communities are joining the Island Coastal Economic Trust’s Board of Directors, and the organization is thanking three others for their service. Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne, Comox Mayor Paul Ives and Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway are the newlyelected members of the ICET Board of Directors. All are from the North Island Sunshine Coast Regional Advisory Committee (NISCRAC), a group that includes mayors, regional district chairs and MLAs from the region.
Port McNeill Mayor Gerry Furney was re-elected to ICET’s board and Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek will continue to serve as chair of the NISCRAC and ex-officio Board member. ICET board chair, Mayor Phil Kent of Duncan, congratulated all on their elections. “As committee and board members on the Trust, we represent our communities, but we also have a duty to invest in projects and programs that benefit the entire region. I’d like to thank all of the newly elected board members for stepping forward to help guide this unique regional investment organization,” he said. Kent thanked outgoing members Mayor Ted Lewis of Zeballos and Mayor John Henderson of Sechelt for their service and commitment to the ICET board. He also recognized the late Bev Parn-
ham, Mayor of Port Hardy. “We’re still shocked and saddened by Bev’s sudden death, and on behalf of ICET, I’d like to acknowledge her passion and efforts to improve conditions for the entire region.” In addition to the three newly-elected NISCRAC members, the Central South Island Regional Advisory Committee (CSIRAC) re-elected Mayor John Ruttan of Nanaimo, Mayor Phil Kent of Duncan, Mayor Rob Hutchins of Ladysmith, and Joe Stanhope of the Regional District of Nanaimo to the ICET Board. Gerry Giles of the Cowichan Valley Regional District will continue to serve as CSIRAC chair and ex-officio Board member. Both regional advisory committees elect four board members for two year terms. The two regional advisory com-
mittee chairs sit on the board as ex-officio members. The remaining five board members are appointed by the province for three-year terms. The NISCRAC held elections on May 9 and the CSIRAC on June 13. The new board terms are effective July 15, 2014 to July 14, 2016. The Island Coastal Economic Trust is a $50 million endowment established in 2006 by the Government of British Columbia to help diversify the economies of central and northern Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. ICET is guided by a Board of Directors and two regional advisory committees which include more than 50 locally elected officials and MLAs and five appointees.

and he moved to Canora, Saskatchewan where he purchased a funeral home and later the local hotel. While in Canora, Paul was the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and was instrumental in implementing several programs including the Christmas Night Light Parade and a Memorial Tree Program. To Paul’s delight in 2009 he, along with his wife, Bev, moved permanently to Vancouver Island where, since first visiting back in the 80s, he had always wished to retire. After working for another funeral home for 18 months Paul and Bev decided to open the Qualicum Beach Funeral Centre and on August 1, 2010 they opened their doors to serve the families of their new community. Since moving to Qualicum Beach Paul became a volunteer in the community. Paul was known for helping out just about everywhere, from playing piano at the local churches and senior homes, joining the local Rotary Club, to becoming the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. Paul took great pride in being nominated as one of Qualicum Beach’s top three volunteers of the year 2014. Paul kept abreast of what was happening in Qualicum Beach and attended all Town council meetings and began developing changes to the outdated cemetery by-laws in the area. Paul, along with his wife, Bev; their cat, Sheba and their dog, Solly loved their little piece of heaven on Vancouver Island. Vice-Chair of the Chamber of Commerce, Oura Giakoumakis stated, “The Board and staff of the Chamber of Commerce and the community of Qualicum Beach are saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Paul Walkey, our Chair person. Paul was an amazing man, working hard in the community, and making his place in Qualicum Beach. Our deepest sympathy for Paul’s wife, Bev and all of their family. Our thoughts are with them at this time.” Evelyn Clark President/CEO

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE FINANCIALLY IN A CHANGING WORLD
It is with great sadness that the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce reports the passing of our Chairman of the Board, Paul Walkey. Paul died on Saturday, June 21 at his home. He was 59 years old. Paul Walkey grew up in Toronto, Ontario where he attended the University of Guelph. At the tender age of 19 he became an entrepreneur for the first time when he opened an Animal Ambulance Service in Toronto. He also spent several years working on his musical career as a pianist/singer, playing for Canadian Pacific Hotels and similar venues and was a member of the Musicians Union Toronto 149. Paul’s true passion was funeral service. He started working at Furtney’s Funeral Home in Toronto when he was only 16 and throughout his varied career has always gravitated back to caring for grieving families. In 1999 Paul’s entrepreneurial genes took over

Qualicum Beach If you commit a violation then you may be required to pay an administrative monetary penalty (AMP). The maximum amount of an AMP, per violation, for an individual is $1 million, and for a business, it is $10 million.
What if I commit a violation under the CSAL Act?
A key aspect is that an unsubscribe mechanism must be “readily performed.” It should be simple, quick and easy for the end-user.
You can set up your unsubscribe mechanism in many different ways. It can be broad or very granular. For example, you can offer a choice to the recipient, allowing them to unsubscribe from all or just some types of CEMs your organization sends.
Under CASL, you must include an unsubscribe mechanism in the commercial electronic messages (CEMs) that you send.
What is an unsubscribe mechanism?
Consent can be obtained either in writing or orally. In either case, the onus is on the person who is sending the message to prove they have obtained consent to send the message.
How can I obtain consent?
If you are sending a CEM to an electronic address, then you need to comply with three requirements. You need to: (1) obtain consent, (2) provide identification information, and (3) provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
No. Rather, it sets out some requirements for sending a certain type of message, called a commercial electronic message (CEM), to an electronic address.
Am I know prohibited from sending marketing messages?
• promoting a person, including the public image of a person, as being a person who does anything referred to above, or who intends to do so.
• offers to provide a business, investment or gaming opportunity;
Messages from the Board Canadian Anti-spam Laws – (CASL) On July 1, anti-spam legislation is coming into effect. This is an important topic for any business owner or organization that uses commercial electronic messages (CEM) to contact customers or member. Below are answers to a few questions about the new anti-spam legislation. For a more detailed discussion go to: http://fightspam.gc.ca/eic/ site/030.nsf/eng/h_00050.html#Commercial
Who needs to know about the law? Anyone who makes use of commercial electronic messages, is involved with the alteration of transmission data, or produces or installs computer programs needs to be aware of this law.
What does “spam and other electronic threats” mean? There are various types of violations including the sending of unsolicited commercial electronic messages, the unauthorized alteration of transmission data, and the installation of computer programs without consent. These violations include spam, malware, spyware, address harvesting and false and misleading representations involving the use of any means of telecommunications,
When does this come into force? The majority of the legislation comes into force on July 1, 2014. This includes the section which relates to the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs) and the section that deals with the installation of computer programs, will come into force on January 15, 2015. What is a commercial electronic message? Some examples of CEMs include:
• offers to purchase, sell, barter or lease a product, goods, a service, land or an interest or right in land;

and he moved to Canora, Saskatchewan where he purchased a funeral home and later the local hotel. While in Canora, Paul was the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and was instrumental in implementing several programs including the Christmas Night Light Parade and a Memorial Tree Program. To Paul’s delight in 2009 he, along with his wife, Bev, moved permanently to Vancouver Island where, since first visiting back in the 80s, he had always wished to retire. After working for another funeral home for 18 months Paul and Bev decided to open the Qualicum Beach Funeral Centre and on August 1, 2010 they opened their doors to serve the families of their new community. Since moving to Qualicum Beach Paul became a volunteer in the community. Paul was known for helping out just about everywhere, from playing piano at the local churches and senior homes, joining the local Rotary Club, to becoming the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. Paul took great pride in being nominated as one of Qualicum Beach’s top three volunteers of the year 2014. Paul kept abreast of what was happening in Qualicum Beach and attended all Town council meetings and began developing changes to the outdated cemetery by-laws in the area. Paul, along with his wife, Bev; their cat, Sheba and their dog, Solly loved their little piece of heaven on Vancouver Island. Vice-Chair of the Chamber of Commerce, Oura Giakoumakis stated, “The Board and staff of the Chamber of Commerce and the community of Qualicum Beach are saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Paul Walkey, our Chair person. Paul was an amazing man, working hard in the community, and making his place in Qualicum Beach. Our deepest sympathy for Paul’s wife, Bev and all of their family. Our thoughts are with them at this time.” Evelyn Clark President/CEO

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE FINANCIALLY IN A CHANGING WORLD
It is with great sadness that the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce reports the passing of our Chairman of the Board, Paul Walkey. Paul died on Saturday, June 21 at his home. He was 59 years old. Paul Walkey grew up in Toronto, Ontario where he attended the University of Guelph. At the tender age of 19 he became an entrepreneur for the first time when he opened an Animal Ambulance Service in Toronto. He also spent several years working on his musical career as a pianist/singer, playing for Canadian Pacific Hotels and similar venues and was a member of the Musicians Union Toronto 149. Paul’s true passion was funeral service. He started working at Furtney’s Funeral Home in Toronto when he was only 16 and throughout his varied career has always gravitated back to caring for grieving families. In 1999 Paul’s entrepreneurial genes took over

Qualicum Beach If you commit a violation then you may be required to pay an administrative monetary penalty (AMP). The maximum amount of an AMP, per violation, for an individual is $1 million, and for a business, it is $10 million.
What if I commit a violation under the CSAL Act?
A key aspect is that an unsubscribe mechanism must be “readily performed.” It should be simple, quick and easy for the end-user.
You can set up your unsubscribe mechanism in many different ways. It can be broad or very granular. For example, you can offer a choice to the recipient, allowing them to unsubscribe from all or just some types of CEMs your organization sends.
Under CASL, you must include an unsubscribe mechanism in the commercial electronic messages (CEMs) that you send.
What is an unsubscribe mechanism?
Consent can be obtained either in writing or orally. In either case, the onus is on the person who is sending the message to prove they have obtained consent to send the message.
How can I obtain consent?
If you are sending a CEM to an electronic address, then you need to comply with three requirements. You need to: (1) obtain consent, (2) provide identification information, and (3) provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
No. Rather, it sets out some requirements for sending a certain type of message, called a commercial electronic message (CEM), to an electronic address.
Am I know prohibited from sending marketing messages?
• promoting a person, including the public image of a person, as being a person who does anything referred to above, or who intends to do so.
• offers to provide a business, investment or gaming opportunity;
Messages from the Board Canadian Anti-spam Laws – (CASL) On July 1, anti-spam legislation is coming into effect. This is an important topic for any business owner or organization that uses commercial electronic messages (CEM) to contact customers or member. Below are answers to a few questions about the new anti-spam legislation. For a more detailed discussion go to: http://fightspam.gc.ca/eic/ site/030.nsf/eng/h_00050.html#Commercial
Who needs to know about the law? Anyone who makes use of commercial electronic messages, is involved with the alteration of transmission data, or produces or installs computer programs needs to be aware of this law.
What does “spam and other electronic threats” mean? There are various types of violations including the sending of unsolicited commercial electronic messages, the unauthorized alteration of transmission data, and the installation of computer programs without consent. These violations include spam, malware, spyware, address harvesting and false and misleading representations involving the use of any means of telecommunications,
When does this come into force? The majority of the legislation comes into force on July 1, 2014. This includes the section which relates to the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs) and the section that deals with the installation of computer programs, will come into force on January 15, 2015. What is a commercial electronic message? Some examples of CEMs include:
• offers to purchase, sell, barter or lease a product, goods, a service, land or an interest or right in land;

B2B kicks off with Always a Bridesmaid Annual theatre festival starts this week with all-female cast LISSA ALEXANDER
reporter@pqbnews.com
Jay Norton has always been drawn to scripts that can make people both laugh and cry and that’s why he was drawn to Always a Bridesmaid. Norton is directing the play for Bard to Broadway at the Village Theatre in Qualicum Beach and it runs from July 3 to Aug. 11. “I’ve done Steel Magnolias and Crimes of the Heart‚ there’s some really good scripts out there that are really funny but at a point in the script they’ll make you cry too,” he said. The story surrounds four women who get into the liquor on the night of their senior prom and make a pact to be in each other’s weddings no matter what. This ends up playing out more than once for some of the women, however. “The play has a nice Southern twang to it,” Norton said, as it’s set in the Southern United States and rather than one lead role, each of the four women have meaty roles. “They are good female parts,” he said. “They’ve got lots of diversity from one character to the other.” There are also two other women in the play, making it an all-female cast. It’s a very well written script, Norton said, created by the Jones Hope Wooten trio (Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten), the most produced playwrights in the United States. The comedy is said to be a laugh-out-loud and poignant journey of four friends in their quests for ultimate love and happiness. “It’s about the bond and the friendship that they’ve had over the 30-ish years,” said Norton, adding the play takes place over about seven years.

Young Frankenstein play debuts this Friday LISSA ALEXANDER reporter@pqbnews.com
A classic comedy with quirky humour is hard enough to pull off, top it off with singing and dancing and you’ve got yourself a challenge. But the cast of Bard to Broadway’s Young Frankenstein is right on the money, according to co-founder of the theatre society, Gary Brown. “The actors I have cast are passionate about this script and wanted badly to be
in it. It is a huge challenge for them to re-create a classic movie, but I am so impressed,” he said. B2B is presenting Young Frankenstein, the Musical at the Village Theatre in Qualicum Beach July 4 through August 16. The broadway musical comedy is based on the 1974 Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan film. Brown said B2B looked at a variety of fun musicals, with an eye to rival last year’s immensely popular
Drowsy Chaperone. He said Mel Brooks Dress for is a genius when it comes toLes comedy and Pick up from July 4 / 2013 he personally loved the movie. It was a good choice to push the envelope a bit, he said, as it’s a large production (with 21 cast and many more behind the scenes) and plenty of expectations. The story surrounds Frederick Frankenstein, grandson to the infamous Dr. Qualicum Animal Hospital Victor Frankenstein. Infromthis FredPick up July 4 spoof, / 2013 erick refuses to acknowledge that he is

crazy like his family members so he calls Weather himself Fronkenstein. When his last surStonewater Spa & Salon Pick up from J Coming Via dies, Email Frederick inherits the viving relative castle and must return to dispose of it. He meets Igor and Frau Blucher who convince him to create a new monster like his grandfather did and hilarity ensues. “Throw into the mix a young, sexy lab assistant and Frederick’s fiance, InspecGordon tor Kemp‚ think Pink Panther‚ and Pick theup from J crazy villagers of Transylvania. Whacky!” Investment Insights by Jim Grant CIM, CFP
In 1989 The Wealthy Barber (David Chilton) told readers “to look for (mutual) funds with a long-term track record; to make sure that the team who created the success was still running the show; to emphasize consistency by looking for funds that did well in both bear and bull markets; and to stay away from fad funds, focusing instead on value-oriented, disciplined management teams.” Now that nearly 25 years have passed, let’s have a look and see how this approach has worked out. Not so well, I’m afraid.
To his credit though, he concedes this in the sequel The Wealthy Barber Returns (2011). In his words: “I’m forced to admit that funds matching those criteria over the years have collectively underperformed the market. What’s worse, some of the management teams in whom I was most confident have posted the weakest returns. It’s frustrating, but past long-term performance has proven to have virtually no correlation to future performance.”
Still it’s a popular strategy to use past performance as an emotional button when promoting mutual funds. But as hopeful investors flock to the successful funds, cash levels grow, often at the most inopportune times: when markets are high. This forces the fund manager to make a choice: buy high, or sit on cash and wait for opportunities. Waiting can be costly though, as market timing frequently backfires, not to mention the fact that idle cash in a mutual fund is still subject to fees.
It is no secret that mutual funds are having a tough go of it lately, as a growing number of commentators, advisors, and investors look for alternatives. Exchange-traded funds, for example, have grown in popularity in recent years with their promise of near market-matching returns. Indeed the Wealthy Barber makes a case for these in his 2011 book The Wealthy Barber Returns.
See FESTIVAL, page A31
But ironically proponents of exchange-traded funds often still use past performance to make their case. It can be a compelling case, depending of course on which numbers you look at. According to Morningstar, over a 10 year period only 14 Canadian mutual funds have outperformed the iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index Fund (symbol XIU). However, let’s look at what has happened since 2011 -- a period during which the Canadian stock market has averaged only 4.36% (based on 3-year returns to November 30, 2013). By having the flexibility to underweight the weaker sectors, the number of Canadian equity funds that have bested the XIU has grown from 14 to over 200, with 57 of these actually doubling the XIU.

Stuffies come to town Annual community-wide Teddy Bear Picnic in Nanoose July 5 BRENDA GOUGH News Contributor
An entire day dedicated to children and their stuffies takes place in Nanoose Bay July 5. The Quality Foods annual Teddy Bear Picnic will see hundreds of children with their favourite fuzzy friend gather for a day of fun at Jack Bagley Field. Kids can load up on some carbs for the energy they will need at a pancake breakfast hosted by the Nanoose Bay Lions at Nanoose Place from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. Next up is the Nanoose Days Parade which kicks off at 10:30 a.m. and makes its way from the Nanoose Bay Fire Department to the picnic grounds. The huge event being organized by Ken Bowerman, manager of Quality Foods’ Qualicum branch said it takes many members of the community to make the event run, from corporate
sponsors to more than 100 volunteers manning the various booths. “The event is so popular there is always a line up from start to finish. Hundreds of kids show up for the picnic each year,” Bowerman stated. “There are more kids at this event than the children’s sand castle event QF sponsors in Parksville.” Bowerman started helping with the picnic 15 years ago and said since he has been involved he has seen people who attended years ago when they were kids who are now bringing their little ones. “It is a unique event that attracts families from all over Vancouver Island as well as the lower mainland.” The grass field where the event is held will be filled with fun stations including face painting, wagon rides, a dunk tank, teddy tattoo parlour, bouncy castles, pony rides and even a bear clinic where a nurse will have a stitching kit to repair tattered and torn stuffed animals.

There is unique bear-a-chute ride which has a helium air balloon that takes stuffed bears up in the air about 300 feet and brings them back down. With so much to do it’s certain that at six o’clock their mommies and daddies will take them home to bed because they’re tired little teddy bears. Every child who attends will receive a passport upon arrival which will grant them a free hotdog, root beer and a slice of cake. The passport has a section where bear owners can register their stuffed animal and formally record its distinguishing marks as well as the state of its fur
quality, stuffing and stitching. They can also fill out a very official looking bear adoption certificate which has a golden Nanoose Bear Seal. There will be live local music featuring bluegrass performers for the big kids to enjoy as well as a food concession run by the Nanoose Bay Volunteer Fire Department. The picnic runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Jack Bagley Field which is located at the corner of Northwest Bay Rd. and Powder Point Rd. in Nanoose Bay.

BY BRENDA GOUGH bgough@pqbnews.com
Hula hoop maker and instructor Sally Whibley can be found at many of the outdoor markets in Oceanside. This summer she will donate partial proceeds of her hula hoop sales to the Ballenas Whalers football team. Sally’s son Lukas who died in a tragic accident a year ago at Little Qualicum Falls was a member of the high school football team. Sally said the team honoured her son by having a sticker made with his name on it and she explained that she wants to support the team because it brought Lukas so much joy. Finger painting has been a tried and true method used to introduce children to the world of art but these days the technique is no longer just for pre-schoolers. In fact combined with the iPad, finger painting is changing the way art is made and Brian Middleton has created some impressive pieces using the brand new medium. The Parksville artist has an exhibition of iPad paintings at The Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach. Brian mixed paint with pixels to create his works of art. Each of them took about five hours to edit and were then printed on paper backed by metal. The prints are fused between two sheets of plexiglass and hang freely on the wall without any frame. His collection will be on display at TOSH until July 13. The DeCosmos Fine Arts Society is presenting work by a diverse group of local area artists at the McMillan Arts Centre (MAC) in Parksville from July 2 to 26. The artists who have work in the exhibition called Hidden Treasures will be at an opening reception on Friday, July 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. The DeCosmos Fine Arts Society has been an influential member of the local art scene for over 40 years and has more than 100 active members. The Errington War Memorial Hall has been the site of many memorable events since its doors opened in 1922. Considered the heart of the community, the hall has undergone many renovations over the years. Last year a universal access ramp was added and thanks to the work of many dedicated volunteers, the Errington land mark continues to be more than just a building. On June 28, members of the current hall board hosted a tea to celebrate the hard work of former hall board members and those who have played a role in keeping the hall alive and thriving. Bob Herbison who has been a hall supporter for many years and a collector of historical documents pointed out that the Pickard family wins the award for the most volunteers from one family. Bob shared some of his hall stories with the old timers as well as the new community supporters who were on hand for event. A few others took a walk down memory lane and divulged some of their fond and funny memories of happenings at the hall including Murray Chantler a long time hall contributor who was honoured at last summers, Hi Neighbour Day festivities.
Sally Whibley is a regular vendor at the Craig Street Summer Market in Parksville. This year she is donating a portion of her hoola hoop sales towards the Ballenas Whalers Football Team. Sally’s son Lukas, who was killed in an accident at Little Qualicum Falls last summer, was a member of the football team which placed memorial stickers on each helmet last season to commemorate the fallen player.
Riverside RV Resort lifeguard Evan Woodson was happy to see the sun come out June 22 for the official opening of the pool and water slide. Eight-year-old Hailey Boe of Port Alberni had a great time hanging out in the pool, which is always a toasty 84 degrees F. The water slide and pool is great for cooling off on hot summer days and is open to the public.
(left to right) George Parton, John Reid, Frank Espig and Bill Wathon were the official fish fryers June 22 at a fundraiser hosted by the Hillbilly Clan at the Nanoose Bay Library Hall June 22. The meal included delicious barbequed salmon, cod and halibut. Money raised from the annual event, just over $2000, will support Hillbilly Clan charities.
Brianne Jenner, a member of the Women’s Canadian Hockey Team, brought her prestigious Olympic gold medal to The Gardens in Qualicum Beach June 25. 96-year old Rose Hall, a resident at the facility, knitted a scarf for the Olympic athlete and gifted her with a pair of vintage sunglasses. Brianne’s grandmother Betty is a resident at the seniors home.
The iPad is the new canvass for Parksville artist Brian Middleton. This large work of art he created by virtual finger painting is part of a new exhibit at The Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach (TOSH) that includes several of his iPad paintings. Virtual Impressionism is the term Brian uses to describe the essence of his work, which will be on display at TOSH until July 13.
Bege Johnston was one of the many volunteers recognized for their contributions to the Errington War Memorial Hall. An appreciation tea was held June 28 to thank the former and present hall board members as well as the many work horses of the community who have helped keep the old hall going strong since 1922. Bege spent many years as a sound tech at the hall and created several music event posters over the years.

When we looked at properties, and throughout the buying process, she truly listened to what we needed and made sure we had answers for all our questions. She walked us through the small print, and pointed out many things we didn’t think to ask questions about. Thanks to her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, we didn’t end up with any unpleasant surprises. I would highly recommend using Glenda as your realtor, and next time we are in the position to buy or sell another house, we will be calling her.” Imi Carroll

BCPBL BASEBALL
Royals win 2 T YSON TAYLOR sports@pqbnews.com
The Parksville Royals rolled over the Coquitlam Reds, sweeping a double–header Sunday. The Royals put together the consistency coaches were looking for, earning victories over the Reds to improve their record to 11–22. It was the finish they were looking for and will help them make a push for the B.C. Premier Baseball League (BCPBL) playoffs. Owen Kelly continued his fine form on the mound as the Royals took game one 3–1. He went the distance in the first game, striking out seven while giving up just one run on four hits. It was Kelly’s fifth win of the season, his second in a row. Josh Anderson, of Nanoose Bay, provided the offensive spark for the Royals, going 1–1 at the dish and driving in two runs. Port Alberni’s Dean Leyland went 2–3 at the plate with one RBI. “Owen pitched a great game for us to get things started, so that’s always a plus,” assistant coach Bruce Biro said. “When you have good pitching, the rest usually falls into place and we were able to execute when we needed to and held it together on defense for the win.” The second game saw the bottom of the Royals batting order come to life as three players earned all seven runs, handing the Reds a 7–2 loss. Colton Tuka got the start in game two and went five innings, giving up two runs on six hits to go along with three strikeouts. Will Drewry and Justin Dieleman, from Nanoose Bay, pitched relief to close the game. First baseman Zack Senay had himself a game, going 2–3 at the plate with three RBI’s. Braxton Barnes (2-4) and Adam McKillican (2-2) each had two hits and each had two RBIs to account for the other four runs. Dieleman also went 2–4 at the plate, as the Royals cranked out 10 hits in game two. “We had a lot of team at bats in both games and coupled with good, solid pitching, we played two great games against the Reds,” Biro said. “Everyone on the team contributed in both games and that’s great to see. When we all work together as a unit and feed off one another, this team is very capable of winning ball games like this each time out there.” Canada Day will see a double–header against the Victoria Mariners at home at Inouye–Wallace Field. Game one starts at noon.

BSS WHALERS FOOTBALL
Hines leaves behind a strong football program
T YSON TAYLOR
sports@pqbnews.com
Mentor, inspiration, father figure, role model, coach. These are just a few words that come to mind when describing long time Ballenas Whalers coach Sean Hines. Hines, who was at the helm of the Ballenas Whalers football program for more than a decade, is heading home after arriving in Parksville 1988. As one of the founding fathers of the program, Hines was as dedicated to the community as he was to the team. Hines will be moving back to Oregon, where he’s originally from, leaving behind a legacy that won’t soon be forgotten. Current Whalers head coach Jeremy
Conn coached with Hines for seven years and got to learn a thing or two from the man himself both on and off the field. “It’s a big loss in the community, for sure. Sean was one of the reasons I came to Ballenas and we’ve become the best of friends,” Conn said. “It was an awesome experience and to be able to work with someone like Sean Hines is a great experience in itself.” There were a number of highlights through his tenure with the Whalers, including a provincial title in 2002. Several players have come through the program and gone on to play at the university level and some at the professional level, some-
thing that Conn feels was a result of coach Hines’ community connection. “He was just such an important part of the whole football scene here,” Conn said. “Sean went so far as to have his garage built so that he could store the football equipment in there. If any of the kids needed any gear, they’d head to his house and he’d have the gear there, ready to go. Sean was just one of those guys that was willing to do anything for you, he had a hard time saying no and that was what makes him the special guy he is.” Hines’ dedication and passion for the game of football touched hundreds of students through the years. Oceanside Youth
Football League numbers have been holding and the Whalers have consistently put a strong product on the field. “As a communicator and mentor, there was none better when it came to the game,” Conn said. “He’s been such a key piece of the football scene for the Oceanside area and to lose a guy like him, there’s going to be a big hole missing that he filled for all those years.” Sean Hines’ fingerprints will remain on the Whalers football program for years and with Conn having been a part of his coaching staff for several years, the Sean Hines attitude won’t be far away, regardless of where coach Hines calls home.

The Oceanside Reds mosquito rep team is looking to get back to provincials and want to improve on their sixth place finish last year. Playing together for the last few years, this Reds team are well on their way to having a good showing once again after a strong year last year. With a 4–1 record in exhibition play so far, the Reds have dominated play and are gearing up for the zone play downs, which take place at Springwood Park at the end of July. “These kids have been working really hard since January and they’ve been doing it with so much enthusiasm,” coach Rob McGorman said.
Applicable taxes and gratuities are additional
“Last year we had a solid season and the boys have been looking forward to getting the chance to make it back to the provincials with the hopes of improving on their finish from last year.” Playing with the same group the last three years has gone a long way in helping the team get to where they are. Growing together both on and off the field has helped develop strong team chemistry. “Watching them grow over the last three years as individuals and as a team has been great,” McGorman said. “They’re all really pulling for each other and watching them enjoy playing the game has been nothing short of fantastic.”

OLYMPIC HOCKEY PLAYER COMES TO QUALICUM BEACH
Golden visit for grandma at The Gardens Brianne Jenner scored a key goal in the march to the gold medal in Sochi BRENDA GOUGH NEWS Contributor
There were some golden moments for residents of The Gardens in Qualicum Beach on Wednesday. It’s a rare treat when you get a visit to your house from a Canadian Olympic athlete who lets you hold a gold medal, but the extraordinary opportunity occurred for the seniors who call The Gardens their home. Last week, Brianne Jenner, a member of the Canadian women’s hockey team, brought her prestigious hardware to the facility where her grandma resides. Not only did Jenner share stories with the residents about her experience at the Sochi Winter Olympics, she also passed around her gold medal, posed for photos and signed pictures for the appreciative crowd. Among the residents dressed in patriotic red and white was a very proud Betty Jenner. Betty said having the honour of being the grandmother of an Olympic athlete never really impacted her until this visit. Betty emphasized that regardless of her impressive athletic achievements, her granddaughter has always been wonderful. “She is a great kid … she can do any-
thing and I am very proud of her.” With a little more than three minutes left in the gold medal game Feb. 20 in Sochi against the U.S. and Canada losing 2-0, Jenner scored Canada’s first goal in a dramatic finish that would see Canada win 3-2 in overtime. Her grandmother said she was on pins and needles for that game. “I watched it on TV and I was so nervous because it was touch and go,” she recalled. The 23-year-old student who began her collegiate career at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York has been balancing her university and hockey career since 2010. She admitted she was sad she didn’t make it to Qualicum Beach sooner so her grandfather could have also held her gold medal. Fred Jenner, who was also a resident of The Gardens, passed away a month ago. “I am happy I was able to get out here and share this with my grandmother … but I wish I could have gotten here when my grandfather was here. It is special to share this with my grandma and to meet all of her friends here,” said Jenner. Dave Jenner, Brianne’s father, was also in town for a visit with his brother Craig Jenner and his wife Andrea, who live in Qualicum Beach. Read the full story ONLINE at www.pqbnews.com
