REGIONAL WATER DISCUSSION

Seeking solutions Qualicum Beach mayor questions RDN direction CANDACE WU news@pqbnews.com

The communities stretching from Nanaimo to Deep Bay are experiencing different struggles and successes with water, making for a heated debate Tuesday evening about collectively dealing with the precious resource. At Tuesday evening’s regular Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) meeting, staff received tentative approval from the board for a number of initiatives associated with water resource management. The decision needs to be ratified at the next regular RDN meeting slated for Sept. 29. Board members were split when presented with a report proposing the RDN: work with municipalities and First Nations to develop a regional water governance model; develop water pricing and regulation changes to RDN-operated water service areas reflecting conservation priorities; update water requirements for subdivision and development; and work with member municipalities and water purveyors to review standardized drought protocols. “Governance? Regional approach? Standardized pricing?” said Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek. “Qualicum Beach has bought its well fields. They are natural recharge areas and the monitoring well is showing actually that it’s recharging. So I feel like we’ve managed well and… planned accordingly, which is a result of good planning and now I feel like, ‘OK, you’ve done so well, we want what you have. You looked after your resources’ and now you want us to pipe into other areas who’ve had growth,” said Westbroek. “Now we’re going to share resources? I don’t think that’s quite fair.” See A SLIPPERY SLOPE, page A9

FEDERAL ELECTION NEWS IN PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH

Tory campaign signs destroyed CANDACE WU

news@pqbnews.com

Conservative candidate John Duncan is the sole victim of political vandalism in this riding. Ten of Duncan’s large campaign signs that read “re-elect John Duncan” over the classic Conservative blue backdrop have been run over, tampered with by cutting the centre out of the frame or stolen all together,

the candidate told The NEWS Tuesday morning. “It’s not fair play,” Duncan said. “It’s contrary to freedom of expression.” Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman confirmed at least seven Conservative campaign signs have been cut down with a knife and discarded in nearby bushes in the last two weeks in Parksville and French Creek. “Our membership is keeping this in

mind during patrols,” said Foreman. “This is mischief and an additional offence under the Elections Act.” Asked if the vandalism was frustrating, Duncan, a 22-year veteran politician who is currently the MP for Vancouver Island North and government whip said “it’s just another thing you have to deal with” in politics. “The reason you’re not seeing signs is because of the damage,” he said.

Alleged mail thief arrested in Hilliers

A 30-year-old Kamloops man was arrested in Hilliers Sunday evening for allegedly stealing mail. Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman said police were called to the area of a Canada Post mail box along Howard Road at approximately 5 p.m. “Witnesses alerted the RCMP of a man nearby that had been seen breaking into the mailbox and stealing mail,” said Foreman. “He was arrested (and) all mail was recovered.” Foreman said the suspect was held in court with two outstanding warrants. He’s also facing two new charges for mischief to and theft from the mailbox. —NEWS Staff

Scheduled for Parksville council last night

Parksville city council had a regular meeting scheduled for last night and you can look for coverage in Tuesday’s edition of The NEWS on these and other issues that were on the agenda: • The city received 25 application for permissive tax exemptions for 2016. Council must sort out who gets what level of exemption. • The Parksville Downtown Business Association’s youth ambassadors gave a report on loads of data they collected this summer. • Council will have a look at the list of applicants for grants-in-aid. Like the permissive tax policy, this issue has generated a lot of heated debate both inside and outside council chambers. • Access Oceanside was scheduled to provide a report on a recent walkabout/wheelabout in the city. — NEWS Staff

Drought conditions in Parksville Qualicum Beach this year have many people thinking about conservation and out-of-the-box ideas. The Oceanside Development and Construction Association (ODCA) is hosting a Water Sustainability Forum next week to talk about grey water, cisterns and their use. “It’s all about different ways we can better use the water that we have,” said ODCA president Duane Round. “The drought we’ve had this year was a real eye opener and we just decided to grab the ball and roll with it because nobody else seemed to be doing it.” The forum is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 16 at the Parksville Community and Conference Centre from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. If you plan to attend, the ODCA would appreciate, by Sunday, Sept. 12, an RSVP e-mail to odca@shaw.ca or a call to 250-586-2282. Round said the forum is a chance to educate ODCA members and the general public about how the grey water in homes — what goes down the drain from the sink or shower, for example — can be diverted to a holding tank and

then pumped for other uses. And about rain water harvesting. “I’ve been in construction for 40 years and I know very little about this stuff,” said Round. “There are a lot of instances where that (grey) water can be saved and re-used in a home, say, for flushing toilets or used for landscaping.” Many predictions suggest the dry, hot summer just experienced in Parksville Qualicum Beach will be the norm in years ahead. “It doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better,” said Round. “Imagine if every home in Parksville had a cistern. The ODCA is bringing in two guest speakers for the event Sept. 19 and provided this information about them: Jamie Wallace of Jaan Designs is a landscape designer, perma-culture designer and consultant and has been working in the landscape industry for more than 28 years focusing on rain water harvesting. Ed Hoeppner of Aquarian Systems Inc. has more than 25 years experience designing and building houses and more than 10 years in researching and developing innovative water management systems, including grey water.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015 ISSUE — PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE

Court forces parliament’s hand Courtenay-Alberni riding candidates speak about the right-to-die issue CandaCe Wu news@pqbnews.com

Earlier this year, the country’s top court unanimously ruled Canadians have the right to die. The Supreme Court struck down existing legislation banning medically-assisted death, directing Parliament to give more control to patients over how they end their own lives. The Court found the existing law deprived Canadians of their right to life, liberty and security giving government 12 months to draft new legislation. It was an undeniable win for proponents of the right-to-die-with-dignity campaign, many who rejoiced over the February ruling. But now comes the hard part. How does the country move forward in crafting legislation around one of the most sensitive, divisive social issues in Canada? The NEWS asked Courtenay-Alberni federal election candidates for their thoughts on the issue, given whoever wins the fall election will be tasked with tackling what may be the most important piece of legislation in our life — and death. “My personal position is I’m opposed to doctor-assisted death,” Conservative candidate John Duncan told The NEWS Tuesday. “We go to our doctor to get better, there’s the Hippocratic oath to do no harm, all of that is in play.” In 2010, Duncan, incumbent MP for Vancouver Island North and government whip, voted alongside the majority of parliamentarians opposing change to Canada’s right-to-die laws. “We’re being forced by the Supreme Court who — once again — decided they know more than Parliament over a divisive, social issue,” he said. “This is wrong.” Despite Duncan’s personal stance, he said “I will obviously work to craft new right-to-die laws in Canada.

Patients, families, doctors and politicians have been debating the right-to-die issue for many years in Canada.

There is no option as the Supreme Court has ruled that the Government of Canada must craft new legislation on doctor-assisted suicide.” On the other side of the spectrum, Green Party candidate Glenn Sollitt told The NEWS he’s in favour of doctor-assisted death. “This is definitely legislation the Greens would be supportive of,” he said. “The bare minimum is legislation needs to allow for an agreed upon outcome for the patient and doctor. There needs to be a discussion between them.” However, Sollitt said he differs from his party in one respect. “The current position is it should only be negotiated between a patient that has full mental capacity and they should be the only ones involved, that’s the Green’s position,” he explained. “My personal view is by the time we enter this topic, someone other than the patient is in a position to make that decision. A loved one could very well be in that posi-

tion and should have that authority to make those decisions — I differ a bit from my party.” Liberal candidate Carrie PowellDavidson, a former two-term Parksville city councillor, said medically assisted death is “definitely” something she supports. “The Supreme Court was right to strike down the ban on doctor-assisted suicide,” said Powell-Davidson. “I’ve seen family members suffer, and you know, if people are suffering and this is their wish and they are clearly consenting adults, in my opinion, better to have a doctor assisted-suicide than someone doing it themselves.” However, Powell-Davidson said “this is a far greater issue than politics,” noting it would likely take more than a few months to draft new legislation. “The Liberal Party is committed to doing research and making evidence-based decisions,” she said. “I’d absolutely want to see a multiparty committee with experts and

Canadians drafting outlines on any new laws pertaining to medically assisted suicide.” NDP candidate Gord Johns said he supports his party’s view that “any discussion about physician-assisted death must include broader consultation with families. We need proper resources and support.” Johns called the issue “complex and emotional” noting “palliative care has to be part of this decision.” He said he’s listened to all sides of the argument and sympathizes with various perspectives. “We’d implement a cross-country strategy on palliative care and endof-life care. That means they’re intertwined and it includes calling on government to work with the provinces and territories for access to high quality palliative care.” Phone calls to Marxist-Leninist candidate Barbara Biley were not returned by press time Wednesday. The federal election is slated for Oct. 19.

TOUR DE ROCK EVENT SCHEDULED FOR SEPT. 24 aT THE BaYSIDE

Joan’s locks leaving again Tickets for the popular event are available at the Quality Inn, Parksville Chrysler or any member of Parksville Rotary AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com

...your BEST source of local news.

One of the area’s most active volunteers is at it again, shaving her head for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock when the cyclists pass through town Sept. 24. “It’s only hair and it grows back, what the heck,” said Joan Lemoine of her planned fourth head shave. Lemoine has been an active volunteer with charitable groups and events around Parksville since moving here over a dozen years ago, including years as the Beachfest volunteer coordinator. She didn’t shave her head last year and hadn’t given it much thought this year until Ron Yates of Yates Funeral Home challenged her to do it and offered $500, she said. “I wish I had more ways of getting people into this, for the kids, because doggonit they’re our future,” she said, challenging others to get involved or at least donate. “I can’t think of any other way to help them than to do this, and I’m really lucky because I know a lot of people,” she said, admitting she’s not shy about using her wide social connections to help the good cause. And while there isn’t a local rider in this year’s Tour de Rock, a 1,000-km ride down Vancouver Island to raise money for children’s cancer initiatives, Lemoine said it doesnt’t make it any less important and encouraged people

Tickets for the the Sept. 24 event are $20, available at the Quality Inn Bayside , Parksville Chrysler or any member of the Rotary Club of Parksville. There will also be a silent auction, inspiring stories and a chance to meet some of the riders. “I just turned 85, how do I know if I’m going to be here next year, nobody knows. I just thought, I can do this,” Lemoine said, adding people should donate before the event by dropping off a cheque at the Parksville Legion, Parksville Qualicum Beach News or city hall administration office.

Many boundaries for the Oct. 19 federal election have changed, including the Parksville Qualicum Beach region. Five weeks into the 11-week campaign people are getting used to the new electoral district of Courtenay-Alberni, which is very similar to the old riding, shifting slightly north on the east coast of Vancouver Island to include Courtenay (not Comox), while losing north Nanaimo and Lantzville. The final list will not be official until Sept. 30, but the current registered candidates are Barbara Biley (Marxist-Leninist), John Duncan (Conservative), Gord Johns (NDP), Carrie Powell-Da-

“It’s not because we’re not interested in expressing our political interests — it’s because people are taking our signs away.” Each of the large signs is worth about $60. Duncan is asking the public to keep their eyes open for any type of campaign vandalism in Parksville Qualicum Beach. Staffers for Lib-

eral, NDP and Green candidates vying against Duncan confirmed they haven’t experienced campaign sign vandalism in this election. In 1993 during Duncan’s first successful bid for federal office, he recalls every one of his campaign signs from Gibsons to Powell River was defamed with spray-painted swastikas.

The Parksville Qualicum Beach News Thursday, September 10, 2015

A slippery slope: Veenhof continued from page a1

Moreover, Westbroek said even though Qualicum Beach wasn’t faced with the same stringent water restrictions as neighbouring Parksville or Nanoose Bay he noticed lawns in all the communities looked relatively similar. “People realize just because we have the water doesn’t mean we can waste it,” he said. “People just use their own common sense and I don’t think we want to get involved with ‘governance.’” Westbroek said the town has governed themselves just fine historically and he’s not ready to “buy into another model we don’t know will work when we have a model that’s working well.” Director Bill Veenhof, who represents Deep Bay/Bowser, was also quick to criticize the report saying he would vote against all proposed changes. “Much is made of the drought in 2015 but I will tell you that in Deep Bay our monitoring well was one meter higher in terms of the water availability than it was last year,” Veenhof said. “I’m uncomfortable with the word ‘governance.’ The only place where the RDN has a gov-

ernance role is in the rural areas and this seems to speak to governance of the municipalities, First Nations… It’s kind of a slippery slope.” Director Julian Fell, who represents Coombs/ Errington, echoed both directors’ comments. “(The report) implies we’re getting warmer and warmer and there will be less rainfall but as it happens I’ve kept a well log on my property for the last 23 years and the information doesn’t support this trend towards drought,” said Fell, noting according to his data “the lowest year was followed by the fourth highest year and the highest year preceded the fourth lowest year… Rainfall is far more variable.” Parksville Mayor Marc Lefebvre seemed baffled by the negative rhetoric. “I’m rather surprised at some of the comments (from directors) who see this as a threatening document,” said Lefebvre. “I don’t see it as threatening at all. I think it would strengthen our focus and relationship to one another when it comes to a fundamental element — water — that’s fundamental to life.”

Health Matters

The cause of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) has yet to be discovered and is thought to be environmental. Recent research has discovered that PD patients tend to have a reduced quantity of a healthy gut bacteria, called Prevotellaceae. Links were Catherine also found with variances in other gut bacteria and Pharmacist specific PD symptoms, such as tremor or gait problems. It’s an intriguing finding and will lead to more study for better understanding of PD and its treatment. The common symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease include tremor, slow movement, rigid muscles and posture/balance problems. As such, exercise can be particularly difficult. However, exercise can actually improve balance and mobility, reduce the risk of falls and improve quality of life – especially when initiated early in the development of the condition. The recommended exercises can be done at home and target balance, leg strength and gait. Exercising with Parkinson’s Disease not only slows the progression of the condition and reduces the risk of falls, it has a significantly beneficial effect on the quality of life of the patient. The effect also seems to be dose-related, meaning more exercise has a greater benefit. The details of the optimal exercises to be performed are yet to be determined, but the evidence clearly suggests starting as soon as possible upon diagnosis and doing it as often as possible. The Parkinson SuperWalk takes place in communities around BC through the month of September and is a major fundraiser for research and awareness. 2015 marks the 25th anniversary. Be a hero – get involved!

September is Arthritis Month “Arthritis” represents approximately 100 different conditions, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid and it affects an estimated 1 in 6 Canadians. Visit: www.arthritis.ca

Back to school safety Just a friendly reminder that the kids have headed back to school! We need to make sure we slow down through the school zones and ensure children’s safety. Every year there are children that are walking or riding their bikes to school for the first time, they need extra time and room while they get comfortable in their journey. Please also be aware of the increasing loss of light. Be aware if your commute includes areas where children walk, they will be harder to spot in the mornings and afternoons. Expect to see the Oceanside RCMP and Central Island Traffic Services along with Speedwatch out in all school zones. The RCMP informed Oceanside Community Safety Volunteers that child safety will be priority number one this September.

Debate on dying

he highest court in the land ruled unanimously this year that people who face intolerable suffering from a “grievous and irremediable medical condition” have a constitutional right to doctor-assisted suicide. The Supreme Court of Canada gave federal politicians until Feb. 6, 2016 to regulate the practice. The court’s decision overturned a previous ban. We are focussing on issues in our coverage of the federal election. In a region that is home to the oldest population in Canada, physician-assisted suicide is certainly a relevant topic. It’s also divisive and difficult to discuss. Reporter Candace Wu presents a story today in our Thursday Spotlight (page A5) with the comments of candidates trying to win the Courtenay-Alberni seat in the House of Commons in the Oct. 19 vote. We do not envy physicians who have to help patients through this type of decision. The Hippocratic Oath physicians take, in part, reads: “I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice. I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect.” According to a story in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, “Canadian doctors remain deeply divided over whether and how to provide medical aid in dying, and what is required of those who refuse to assist in ending a patient’s life.” The CMA did a survey of its members this year regarding this subject and received 1,407 responses. The results were presented at their general council in Halifax on Aug. 25. The results suggested many doctors remain opposed to assisting a patient’s suicide. Only 29 per cent of this surveyed said they would consider providing medical aid in dying if requested by a patient — 63 per cent would refuse outright and eight per cent were undecided. Like so many things in today’s society, this issue is destined to spend more time in courtrooms. Clearly, most doctors are not comfortable with physician-assisted suicide. However, it’s the law of the land, with details about that legislation expected in February. Like the debate about publicly-funded access to abortions, physician-assisted suicide elicits passionate discussion, and sometimes worse. If they don’t know already, this issue shows those who are seeking a seat in the House of Commons that being an MP often requires painful, soul-searching decisions that will upset a large portion of the electorate. — Editorial by John Harding

Letters

nice and Peaceful back-to-school I am very excited for my children and their friends to return to Oceanside Elementary school this fall. Last year was a year of big changes with the closure of many elementary schools and the shift of those elementary aged children to schools that had previously been designed for middle school years. This year, our children will arrive to see the first phase of their outdoor play space. This outdoor space is going to serve not only as a play space for all the children but also as an outdoor classroom area. This would not have been possible without the many volunteers who have been donating time and materials this summer. The many parents and local businesses that have been donating time and materials is making a real difference at this school. I would like to send out a big thank you to Tim Kroeker (Kroeker Homes), Ian Todd (Copcan Civil), Rebecca and Jay Sharp (The Sharp Design Landscape Group), Graeme Carleton (Mayco Mix) and Elaine McCullough in particular. These parents have spent a lot of evenings and every weekend this last month out there working on getting this play space ready for the new school year. Thank you.

scheme put forward by the people who run this city. Their past track record has not been very good. And it might be noted that the people of this community have been paying a surcharge on their water usage to be put into a reserve fund for a future water treatment facility. This surcharge was initiated by our mayor when he was a council member. We have been paying this surcharge for the past few years. Where has this money gone? And why are we the only people paying into a reserve fund. It would seem that the people of Nanoose Bay are not paying into a reserve fund and it would seem that they do not have to go to a referendum to receive all the benefits of this scheme. How and who is paying their share? This scheme seems a bit spooky even for Parksville. The people of Parksville should be very careful. The sky is not falling down. The provincial government will not shut your water off. However, the government will make us build a water treatment facility or require us to use other technology to be in compliance for the City of Parksville only. Voting no to this referendum is the logical thing to do. Ted SmiTh Parksville

thanks for helP after my fall

union wins battle on excluded Position Qualicum Beach CAO Daniel Sailland no doubt has his own reasons for his version of why (town council) locked out the town’s employees for 34 days. He admits difficulty in describing changes to the final contract language — probably because there weren’t many changes made. From the beginning of bargaining, the outstanding issue was always the modest two-per-cent wage increase that the town finally agreed to. For the record: The IT position exclusion issue repeatedly referred to by Mr. Sailland is a matter that was always outside the contract negotiations, as attested to by the provincial mediator. That issue was never part of the mediator’s proposal that Mr. Sailland agreed to recommend to the Qualicum Beach Town Council. That issue will be dealt with in the usual way, outside of bargaining, by the employer making an application to the Labour Relations Board. To keep suggesting otherwise is frankly baffling. Your headline rightly states “Union wins battle for two per cent wage hike…” and our members certainly stood firm to get a fair and reasonable contract. But the legacy from this unprecedented and unnecessary labour dispute will not be in what Mr. Sailland “saved” in workers’ wages and paid out to managers in overtime, but in a workplace where decades of mutual respect have now been replaced by mistrust. And that is a shame that the Qualicum Beach Town Council will undoubtedly have to address. Blaine gurrie, PreSidenT, CuPe loCal 401 Nanaimo

COLUMN

Running on empty Going back to school in September is never easy. But when I was twelve, it was harder than usual. This would be my last year of public school and also my last year with Mr. Crandall (names have been changed) as my teacher. He first took that role two years earlier when he walked into our Grade 6 classroom looking like he was all business — serious business! We waited with bated breath. Then he smiled and said, “Hiya kids!” Suddenly it was like the sun was shining. Mr. Crandall was, in the parlance of the time, a keen teacher. Sadly, this would be our final year together. By Ray Smit Mr. Crandall was good at his job. I loved it when he added little anecdotes to help us understand our studies. One late Friday afternoon, he began telling us about “The Mile of the Century” in 1954. It was a race between the two runners who first broke the four-minute mile: Roger Bannister and John Landy. When he described the helpless Landy looking over his shoulder as Bannister blew past him for the win, I was enthralled. Just before we were dismissed, Mr. Crandall asked if any of us would like to try out for the track team Monday afternoon after school. I immediately raised my hand. Mr. Crandall must have had his doubts about me. If anyone looked less like a runner, I can’t imagine how. Despite being five-foot nothing, my feet were almost as big as my dad’s and I had a caboose the size of a CN freight train. To say the least, I was less than aerodynamically pleasing. No matter. I knew it was my fate to be the only 12-yearold in history to break the four-minute mile. When I got home, I announced to my parents that I was in training and would be following a strict diet — high in protein and low in junk food. It was an enormous sacrifice but I was willing to make it. That night mom made hamburgers for supper. At first, I wondered if

I should eat them. After all, everyone knows brontosaurus burgers made Fred Flintstone fat. But then I remembered that in all my 12 years I’d never seen mom buy a brontosaurus at Loblaws. So I was safe. I showed great restraint and only ate three burgers. We had Jell-O for dessert. When mom asked if I’d like a scoop of ice cream on it, I hesitated. But then, realizing that milk builds strong bones for running, I took two scoops. After all, there is no sacrifice too great for the love of sport. Over the weekend I practised sprints and thought about strategy. I decided I’d blast out to an early lead, pace myself in the middle and run like the wind for the final 50 yards. But under no circumstances would I make Landy’s mistake. I would never look behind me and allow the other runners to catch up. On Monday after school, we prepared for tryouts. There were three places on the team and only four competitors. I felt very confident because two of the other runners were shorter than me and the other fat. Mr. Crandall took out his stopwatch and blew the whistle. I was off like a shot and I’m proud to say that I never looked behind me. There was no need. Before I was halfway down the track the two short kids were already crossing the finish line. As I got down to the last 50 yards there was a blur on my right. It was the fat kid. He beat me by 30 feet. They could have timed me with a calendar. Mr. Crandall congratulated the other boys and came over to commiserate with me. “It isn’t easy to lose, Ray. But you can be proud of your effort.” He was right, of course. Still, I was sorry I’d let him down. There and then I resolved to make it up to him during hockey tryouts. After all, I had three whole weeks to learn how to skate. — Ray Smit is the author of The Trouble With Tapioca, available at Amazon.com. His columns appear every other Thursday.

I started in Real Estate working with Block Brothers for 4 years back in 1982 in Winnipeg – when interest rates were sky-rocketing to 22.5%. I moved to Vancouver in 1985 & became the sales manager for Polygon Properties. I have been in sales all my life, and if it’s a product or a service that I can believe in, and my high personal standards and ethics will make sure I do a great job, then I am committed – and Real Estate has allowed me to continue with those beliefs. In addition to continuing education to further enhance my professionalism, I also hold my A.S.A. ( Accredited Senior Agent) supporting the special needs of Seniors, and P.R.E.C. (Personal Real Estate Corp.). I have been in Real Estate here on the Island since 2005, switching to another local Island company - 460 Realty! Did you know the Island from tip to tip is 460km?

McMillan Villas Secure, Low Maintenance Lifestyle M

any Boomers are tired of cutting the grass or painting the fence. The McMillan Villas have been designed to provide a secure and a low maintenance home that allows owners to enjoy their retirement years.

SECURITY Villa security has been provided with a gated entrance lane and a fenced back yard. The two-car garage is connected to the elevator with a secure, enclosed hallway. The intercom system includes a camera and integration with the elevator to ensure guests only have access to your floor. The stairwell, hallways and entrances doors are controlled by key fobs. And there are no ground floor living units, as the main floor consists of individual garages and a common entrance.

LOW MAINTENANCE The Villas have been designed to have a low maintenance cost. The exterior is a combination of timber, stone and Hardie panels. The panels are made of fiber cement, which requires only periodic washing with a hose. The paint finish is guaranteed not to fade or chip for 15 years and fire resistant. Fiber cement is also impervious to termites, woodpeckers and other pests. The landscaping consists of drought resistant plants that are irrigated with a drip system to reduce water usage.

LIFESTYLE The Villa design will ensure you will have the time to enjoy your favorite pastimes, let it be golf, sailing or another hobby.

EASE OF ENTRY • The garages are 14 feet in width, which provides lots of space to move in and out of the vehicle. • There are no stairs required to move from the garage to the Villa. An elevator provides the necessary access to their unit. • An owner accesses the elevator, through an enclosed hallway, leading from the garage to the elevator. This secure entrance reduces the chance of slipping on ice or wet surfaces. • The entrance door to the Villa and all passage doors are three feet wide, allowing ease of access for wheelchairs. The Villa is on one level and has no stairs

CONVENIENT KITCHEN DESIGN The kitchens are also designed for ease of movement: • Majority of cabinets are full extension drawers with soft touch closing. • A wall oven for easy access • A stove top with front controls. • Lever faucets. • Task lighting built above counters

ACCESSIBLE BATHROOM DESIGN The bathrooms in the Villas have also been

designed in an Age Friendly manner with ease of movement front of mind: • Curbless showers, with three-feet-wide doors. • Lever faucets with temperature control. • Sufficient room in front of the shower to navigate a wheelchair. • Sufficient room in the shower for a wheelchair. • Enclosed toilet has sufficient space for wheelchair access. • Under-cabinet lighting that is activated with a motion sensor.

BUILT-IN SPACIOUSNESS Even the laundry room has been designed with ease of movement in mind: • Front-loading washer and dryer • Lots of space in front of washer/dryer • Task lighting

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

Goal this year is 600K pounds This year’s drive takes place from Sept. 14-19

The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive is an annual event which began in Burnaby in 2009 and has spread to more than 50 cities in the province and helps thousands of needy individuals and families throughout British Columbia. In 2014, more than 400,000 pounds of food was collected by more than 6,000 volunteers (valued at approximately $900,000) and was sorted and delivered to community food banks. The organizers’ goal this year is to collect more than 600,000 pounds of food. This year’s food drive takes place from Sept 14-19 and organizers anticipate more volunteer participants from dozens of partnering businesses, churches and volunteer organizations who will visit some 250,000 addresses across the

province that week. In B.C. more than 100,000 people turn to their local food bank each year to help feed themselves and their families. Almost 40 per cent of recipients are under the age of 18. Here’s how it works. Between Monday and Wednesday of collection week (Sept. 14-16) our volunteers will deliver flyers and donation bags to residential addresses along assigned routes. Our flyers

offer instructions on how to donate and include contact information should you have any questions. Anyone wishing to make a donation of non-perishable food items is asked to place them in the bag and leave it on their doorstep before 9:30 a.m. on Collection Day, Saturday Sept. 19. Volunteers will travel back through their neighborhoods to collect these donations. On the same day, these donations will be gathered at central locations and then transported to the Mt. Arrowsmith Food Bank. If you are interested in volunteering in the Parksville Qualicum Beach area, or want to know where to drop off your donations, you can contact Mt. Arrowsmith Food Bank at 250-248-8794. More information can be found at www.bctfooddrive.org — Submitted B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive organizers

Turkey vultures: so ugly they are cute This species has fared well in our changing landscapes

These fairly ugly, unpleasant smelling birds have so many interesting features that you can’t help but like them. Turkey vultures can smell better than humans and while a group of vultures which is called a “venue” circle in the air (called a “kettle”) they use their incredible olfactory senses. It is the attraction to the smell of mercaptan, a gas produced by the beginnings of decay that a turkey vulture is smelling. They do not eat live animals and prefer fresh meat but will not turn their noses up to rotten meat if there is no alternative available and prefer the meat of herbivorous animals. While walking amongst a dead animal, these birds use their feces By Sylvia Campbell as a sanitizer. Their uric acid is so strong that it kills bacteria so while it may sound disgusting, pooping down their legs keeps them healthy. It’s their keen eyesight and smell that help them find their food. Like in the old western movies, kettling of vultures signal something dead below. It may also mean they are gaining altitude for long flights or just playing. So often I have seen turkey vultures circling above the highway as I drive to Nanaimo. I always know there is probably a kill on the side of the road. Male and female vultures are alike in appearance. The turkey vulture’s preferred habitat includes farmland with pasture and abundant carrion close to undisturbed forested areas for perching, roosting, and nesting. They nest in dark recesses beneath boulders, on cliff ledges, in hollow trees, logs, and stumps, and in abandoned buildings. In addition to

Although a little ugly, turkey vultures are the king of the clean up crew in nature eating dead and sometimes putrid-smelling animals.

being prone to accumulate pesticides and other contaminants, the turkey vulture has a propensity to feed in agricultural and roadside habitats, making it vulnerable to accidental trapping, collisions, electrocution, shooting, and the ingestion of lead from animals that have been shot. Its former persecution as a potential vector of livestock disease or as a predator of young animals has largely ceased, since these contentions have proved false. However, the turkey vulture is the main avian species causing damage and fatalities in military aircraft collisions in the United States.

Mid Vancouver Island Habitat Enhancement Society

Notice of Annual General Meeting The Society will be holding it’s AGM on September 22, 2015 at the Errington Hall, 1390 Errington Rd., beginning at 5pm with a Salmon BBQ, followed by our Guest Speaker, Dr. Pam Shaw, Professor of Geography from Vancouver Island University, on the topic of: The “New” Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region. “Will it Help Us find a Balance?” Vancouver Island University is promoting a “Research Institute” devoted to finding innovative ways to achieve a balance between the needs of humans and nature in our local watersheds from Nanoose to Deep Bay. Come and learn how we can help make this initiative work! The AGM is to elect officers to the Board, accept membership renewals and new memberships, and to report on the operations of the last fiscal period. To ensure we prepare enough fresh fish for the BBQ, please confirm your attendance in advance by email to Shirley Hine at shinecmc@telus.net. There will be a $10 admission charge to this event, which includes an annual membership to our society. Additional information about our programs & projects is available on our website at www.mvihes.bc.ca

Tolerant of human activity and adaptable in its diet and choice of nest sites, this species has fared well in our changing landscapes; its populations are generally stable or increasing. On Saturday, Sept. 19 at 1:30 p.m., NIWRA will be holding another 30th anniversary celebration devoted entirely to bears featuring NIWRA’s Assistant Wildlife Manager, Julie Mackey, who will describe the process of rehabilitating bears in our care. — Wild ‘N Free is a column written by Sylvia Campbell, NIWRA co-founder.

Jazz Vespers starts new series this month Jazz Vespers at St. Edmund’s will be held from 4-5 p.m. September 20. According to a news release issued by Dave Klinger, this is the first in a new series of services which will be held each month on the third Sunday. It will include small jazz groups playing during a service designed to appeal to those who are “spiritual but not religious.” In addition to jazz, the vespers service includes poetry and silent meditation.

Jazz vespers began in New York City during the 1940s when a number of club musicians, who worked into the early hours, requested a service they could attend on Sunday evenings. Due to their work schedules Sunday morning was out of the question. As a result many well-known jazz musicians, including Duke Ellington, played during these special services. Jazz Vespers at St. Edmund’s is being produced by Klinger, with Greg Bush of the jazz faculty at VIU as musical director.

Musicians engaged for the first vespers are: Greg Bush on trumpet; Dave Klinger on piano; Alica Murray on drums; and a new arrival to the area from Montreal, Rob Uffen, on bass. They will play standards of the jazz and American Songbook repertoire. The jazz vespers event is free of charge. St. Edmund’s is located at 407 Wembley Road in Parksville. For more information contact Dave Klinger at 250-947-9755. — Submitted by Dave Klinger

1943-2015 Curly gently passed away as the sun set on May 31, 2015

He lived most of his life in Coombs, on a small hobby farm â€œMy-Nure Acresâ€?. Curly loved tinkering with anything mechanical, a master machinist and welder by trade. During his lifetime he built houses, planes, cars and boats. He was an owner operator of several companies involved with house moving, aerial photography, fishing, tug boating, saw milling, floating machine shop and most recently boat mooring aboard his beloved scow â€œOld Tekâ€? docked at French Creek Marina. He is survived by his second wife, Ann Livingston, brother Malcolm, sister Beverly, daughters Leila and Elka, grandchildren Auna, Ethan and Dianthe, as well as cousin Larry, and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Gordon and Mabel Mc Rae, and his loving wife of 40 years, Addie Hoyland. A memorial to his life will be held Saturday, September 19th at 1pm, at 239 McVickers Street, Parksville, B.C. All are welcome to celebrate Curlyâ€™s life, and share their stories and photos. In lieu of flowers , you are welcome to make a donation to the Alzheimerâ€™s Society

Alfred passed away peacefully at Arrowsmith Lodge in Parksville, BC, with his nephew Gary at his side. Alfred was born to Laila and Erick Johnson on August 28, 1921 in Kelvington, Sask. Alfred shared his motherâ€™s talent in music, and adorned his accordion proudly. As a young man Alfred left his home to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In May of this year, Alfred received a Medal for his time served. Returning home after the war, he and his uncle, John Evensen, purchased the Nehring Sawmill. Together, they successfully ran the Sawmill at Tabor Lake as the â€œEvensen Sawmillâ€? until they sold it in 1969. Many family members and friends both lived and worked at the mill site which holds many treasured memories. After the war, Alfred started to pen-pal with his soon to be Bride â€“ Gisela Eva Kohler (September 16, 1924-June 30, 2005 Berlin, Germany- Father Alfred Kohler, Mother Anny Kohler). After convincing her to move to Canada, they married in 1954 and lived in a home at the sawmill. Eventually they moved into Prince George and then on to Bowser, BC, after the sale of the sawmill. Alfred continued to work in the logging industry, as a scaler in the Fort Nelson area. Juggling his work with his love of fishing, he and Gisela commercially fished in the Strait of Georgia for many years. A man of few words, he was always happy to share fishing stories. Gisela and Alfred shared their passion of the outdoors. After a lengthy illness Alfred became wheelchair ridden, but that was never to hinder his determination in life; it was just one more challenge. When Alfred and Gisela required assistance at home, Jean Morrow began as their caretaker and for 14 years, remained a loyal friend after Giselaâ€™s passing, visiting Alfred weekly. Alfred moved to assisted living at Cokely Manor in Parksville, BC. There, Alfred befriended many new acquaintances who quickly embraced and watched out for his well being. Alfred eventually moved next door to Arrowsmith Lodge, for more complex care, but continued to dine regularly with his friends at Cokely. Alfred could always be seen tapping his feet and hands when the volunteer musicians came to play at the home, especially the â€œOld Time Fiddlersâ€?. Alfred was predeceased by his wife Gisela, parents Erick and Laila, sister Ruth, brothers Rubin, Melvin and Einar Johnson, sister-in-law Selma Johnson. Alfred leaves to mourn his passing, his sister Rena and brother-in-law, George Collins. Nephews: Gary Johnson, Gordon Johnson, Curtis Collins and Darwin Collins. Nieces: Marilyn Garber, Marjorie Tucker, Verna Amos and Barb Houghtaling. We wish to thank all the friends, caretakers and staff who were always so kind to Alfred. It comforts us knowing how well he was cared for.

JUSTUS SYLVESTER HOLMAN April 13, 1926 â€“ August 19, 2015

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Justus on August 19, 2015, at The Qualicum Manor, Qualicum Beach, BC. He was born on April 13, 1926, and was the second youngest of eight children. Justus was predeceased by his wife, Roberta, on July 11, 2010. He is survived by his son, Wayne (Elyse) and his daughter, Kathleen, as well as seven grandchildren: Darren, Jason, Daniel, Adam, Michael, Rachel, and Taylor, and five great-grandchildren: Carl, Julia, Jax, Damien and Kori. Justus is also survived by his sister, Stella, and his sister-in-law, Marcia. Justusâ€™ career as a truck driver spanned many decades, but he most fondly liked to tell his story of trucking a very large piece of equipment over the Lions Gate bridge while bystanders watched the bridge as it seemed to flinch under the weight. Justus and Roberta also started up a towing company called Alert Auto Towing, running the business from their home in Kitsilano, and Justus is remembered throughout these years, especially in winter, crossing his fingers for snow! Even after retiring to Qualicum Beach, he couldnâ€™t get the driving bug out of his system so he became a school bus driver. Justus was an avid square dancer and RVer which he greatly enjoyed with Roberta, especially on their numerous trips to Arizona and Alaska. Jess enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow Veterans at the legion and was always ready with a story or two to share. He was also a great supporter of St. Stephens Church and really enjoyed the Thursday luncheons. If you would like to spend some time with the family, share a Justus story or two, and say goodbye to Justus, please join us at his memorial, September 19, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at St. Stephens United Church, 150 Village Way, Qualicum Beach, BC. A reception in the church hall will follow the memorial. In lieu of flowers, the family will be grateful for donations in Justusâ€™ memory to St. Stephenâ€™s United Church.

middleweight title fight

Morrow on the move to title Parksville boxer travels for training T yson Taylor sports@pqbnews.com

With his training taking him to many different locations and venues, Aubrey “Bam Bam” Morrow is busy preparing for his Oct. 24 fight against Francis Lafreniere for the Canadian middleweight title. It’s been a whirlwind tour for Morrow and coach Rich LeStage, who have been training in Victoria, on the Lower Mainland and even down to California for training sessions in Los Angeles and San Diego. “It’s all playing its part,” Morrow said. “Travelling around to different gyms and just getting out there is just a part of it all.” “We’ve been fortunate to have these chances to get to go to different places and spar with all sorts of different fighters, so that’s been really good for us. Being able

to travel down to L.A., sparring at Freddie Roach’s Wildcard Boxing Gym, that was pretty cool too,” Morrow said. “But all in all, it’s just all part of getting us ready for October 24.” “Bam Bam” is back at home and feeling good after returning from California. With the fight just over a month away, it’s a building process and there is still a lot of time left before the bell rings for his Canadian middleweight title fight. “It’s a process, that’s for sure,” Morrow said. “You really want to just jump right into it but you have to realize that there’s lots of time between the training and the fight itself.” “It’s good to keep that in mind and keep a steady pace. We’re building well towards it and I’m feeling really good and positive as we move along here.”

The Save-On-Foods Oceanside Generals start their season on the road tomorrow night in Campbell River to open up against the defending VIJHL champion Campbell River Storm. Practising with their full roster for the first time this season, the Generals are fine-tuning their game before making the trip north to kick off the 2015-16 season — their 25th anniversary season.

The Gens will be without forward Logan Savard, from Port Alberni, who was signed to the Junior A Alberni Valley Bulldogs earlier in the week, giving him a chance to play for his hometown team. “It’s an exciting time for me,” Savard said. “We went through a lot here with the Generals and to be able to battle through the adversity and never give up on the dream of making it to the next level, I feel that time with Oceanside helped get me to being able to sign with the Bulldogs,” Savard said. With the roster in place and the team raring We Have Happy Advertisers! Contact me today.

to go, it’s going to be a tough test in the first month, but coach Brad Knight said the team is ready. “The talent’s in the room,” Knight said. “The talent’s going to be there on the ice. We’re going to have to try and be successful every night we’re on the ice and in practice.” “I learned a long time ago that actions speak louder than words and now it’s time to lay it all out there and see how successful we really want to be.” The Generals are home Saturday night, 7:30 p.m. puck drop against the Nanaimo Buccaneers at Oceanside Place.

The Council of the City of Parksville intends to exchange those parts of Lot 6 including within the boundaries of Lot A, Plan EPP54585 for that part of Lot 1 included within the boundaries of Lot B, Plan EPP54585; Gebhard Investments wishes to exchange the Gebhard Exchange Parcel for the City Exchange Parcel as shown on the map below.

Then wearing it for almost the rest of the adventure and having almost everyone take it for a spin. I always thought I could pull off being a redhead. Then again, maybe not. Whether it was the whale spotting while aboard the Confederation Ferry (from PEI to Nova Scotia), or jumping for joy when meeting the world’s largest lobster in Shediac, NB, or just taking a scenic run along the St. John river in Fredericton, NB, I wouldn’t say I’m a veteran when it comes to the lay of the land in the Atlantic provinces, but the next time I go, it won’t be my first rodeo. And if the 2016 Subaru Forester is my steer, I’m heading in the right direction. With or without crying kids. The 2016 Forester 2.5i has a starting MSRP of $25,995 (excluding delivery and taxes.) The 2.0XT starts at $33,495 (excluding delivery and taxes.)

Safety Tip: The start of the school year is a great time to review the rules of the road and your kids’ route to and from school. If you’re dropping them off in a school zone, make sure they exit the car on the side closest to the sidewalk.
