“It’s been really nice to see them grow. The band has a lot of the same members so they have all grown up together.”

Other performers include: multi instrumentalists, singer/songwriter Glen Foster; folk blues singer Bev Finch; acoustic cover band Restless Hope; flute player Terry Mack; The Coombs Old Time Fiddlers and A Cappella Plus choir director of Patricia Plumley.

outdoors

Photo by Michael Addiscot

by Michael Addiscot This time of the year we can often count on consistent warm temperatures, light winds and clear skies. With friends or relatives visiting from out of town, why not give them a treat and plan a day or two at the sea shore? Both Parksville and Qualicum Beach enjoy great beaches with many amenities close at hand.

Remember to make some time for relaxing at the beach in the evenings, as the colours from the setting sun will take your breath away. Often, you’ll see the glow reflecting off giant cruise ships as they make their way North.

Of course, the best way to enjoy the water is from the water, and there are some great local options for guided kayak tours and to rent either ocean kayaks or family friendly sit-on-top boats that allow families to share an hour or two on the sea but don’t require any paddling experience.

Alternatively, this sheltered side of the Island provides an ideal venue to try Stand-Up-Paddleboarding, the world’s fastest growing water activity. Lessons and rentals are available right on Qualicum Beach or rentals just a little distance from the shore in Parksville.

Van Isle Shriners

SHOW&SHINE AUGUST 2

F

rom classic to muscle cars and street rods, our love affair with automobiles shows no sign of running out of fuel and if you admire shiny cars be sure to check out the Van Isle Shriners Show & Shine August 2.

Formerly the Oceanside Overdrive, now hosted

by Van Isle Shriners Show and Shine Club No. 16 the event has been a favourite of car buffs from around the province.

The long running show at Parksville Community Park features a sampling of the region’s finest and most unique vehicles.

Last year’s event included almost 300 rare, classic and exotic vehicles and this year organizers expect another spectacular display.

Noble Don Denney is the secretary for Club No. 16 and said they are looking forward to seeing nearly 400 cars on display.

“I think the word has gotten out that the car show is well organized. Last year we had just under 300 vehicles and we expect another 100 this year.”

From its earliest days the automobile has fuelled the addiction of classic car enthusiasts and Denny said their devotion makes for a great day at the park.

“We have cars from the 1920’s up to the 1990’s and the owners love to show them.”

While the event has car owners vying for a trophy in different categories such as the best custom paint job and best under the hood, it also has a mandate to raise funds to help kids.

The Shriners are a philanthropic organization providing pediatric health care for children.

Since 2001 the Shriners have transported over 38,400 people to Shriner hospitals and Shriners Care for Kids has contributed over $5 million annually to health care in BC and Yukon.

Denney said the proceeds from their event go to the Shriners Child Services Society and they are hoping to top what they raised last year.

“It was our first year and we grossed 19 thousand

23

in one day. We were so successful at it last year we actually made an application to the Shrine to form a Shrine club with the sole purpose to run the show and raise funds,” he explained.

He said all of the funds they generate go towards helping kids who need specialized care.

“Shriner hospitals treat children regardless of the family’s ability to pay. Our money is used to transport them. Shriners operate 22 hospitals in North America. We have one in Montreal. In fact a brand new hospital is being opened up in August. Right now 42 children on the Island are being treated in Shriner hospitals. ” The display of cars which takes place on the kite field at the Parksville Community Park starts off with a pancake breakfast from 7:30 a.m. until noon.

The official flap jack flipper Louis Seidel a member of the Parksville Qualicum Beach Club has been manning the griddle since 1981.

"Last year we had just under 300 vehicles and we expect another 100 this year.."

Noble Don Denney, Secretary

“It’s the best pancake breakfast around with sausages, hash browns, coffee and juice … all the fixings for $7 cash only,” he said.

Last year Denney said they served well over 500 breakfasts.

“I ran out of pancake mix at 509. The previous year we only had 220. I’ll make sure I don’t run out this year,” he promised.

The Saturday evening before the show there is a Cruise Night, starting from Parksville A&W at 6:30 pm MORE INFORMATION

BEACH DAY JULY 5, 2015

L

ife’s a beach when you live in Oceanside but on July 5 there will be a special event to celebrate the beauty of the Qualicum Beach

waterfront.

The fourth annual Beach Day event in Qualicum Beach has events running from noon to 5 p.m. with a Shriner’s pancake breakfast at 9 a.m. for the early birds.

Qualicum Beach Day offers plenty of hands-on activities for both children and adults.

Bring the brawn for a good old fashioned tugof-war, or try some disc golf on the sand.

Beach activities include both educational and fun things.

The VIU Shellfish Research Centre touch tank is back as well as seine netting for sea creatures, shark dissection and the Vancouver Aquarium

Furniture

Marine Mammal Rescue Centre.

Team WaterSmart will offer some conservation tips to help you preserve water during the dry summer months.

The Nanaimo boat modellers will be on hand, there will be kite building, beach art, giant bubble making, sandcastle building, a parachute game, face painting and temporary tattoos.

The Qualicum Beach Pipe Band and the Rainbow Stew Cloggers will be entertaining the crowds as well, belly dancer Elaine De Rooy of Belly Laughs will be performing on stage.

A vintage fashion show at 1:30 p.m. will feature 25 swimsuit fashions from a bygone era.

The original pieces come from the private collection of Qualicum Beach’s vintage fashionista Merlyn Patten.

“This year I have concentrated on the fabulous constructed swimwear from the 1950’s and the wild colours of the 1960’s. Added in for good measure we have a small splash of swim suits from a few of the other decades for comparison.

This is a true family show, and the age range of our models is as young as one year to over 70, so I am sure everyone will enjoy it,” she said.

QUALICUM BEACH WATERFRONT Shuttles will be provided from the downtown parkade to the waterfront.
