Crowd at rally says no to pipeline and oil tankers Scott Stanfield Record Staff

About 200 people linked arms Wednesday outside the Courtenay office of Comox Valley MLA Don McRae, demonstrating against tar sands pipelines and tankers. They were among thousands of protesters who gathered Wednesday at numerous Defend Our Coast day of action rallies at MLA offices throughout B.C. Protesters are demanding a ban on coastal tanker expansion, which could stop the Enbridge pipeline proposal and Kinder Morgan’s plans to increase its pipeline capacity. Wednesday rallies followed a Monday demonstration at the Victoria legislature where thousands of people called on politicians to defend the West Coast. Andy Everson, who attended both rallies, said there was a strong First Nations component at the Victoria demonstration. “I think this is gaining momentum,” said Everson, a member of the Kumugwe Dancers who kicked off Wednesday’s rally in Courtenay. “I don’t normally go to protests, but I think this is a time that we have to stand together and speak our minds. “The effects that this could have on all of us are pretty profound. If we all come together now, we could save a lot of grief in the future.” Enbridge proposes to ship 500,000 barrels of oil per day from the Alberta Tar Sands to Kitimat. Despite the distance from the Comox Valley, Everson said an oil spill up north would nevertheless affect people in this region. “We’re all connected through our waterways,” he said. “If something happens to them, it happens to all of us. It will have effects that are far-ranging — something we can’t even predict right now.” The Green Party of Canada’s

No expansion of the tar sands. No more extraction of fossil fuels that destroy our environ-

COMOX VALLEY PROTESTERS travelled to Victoria for a large rally Monday outside the legislature in Victoria.

Valley people swell pipeline rally Record Staff More than 3,500 people rallying Monday outside the B.C. legislature against the northern pipeline and tanker traffic included 44 members and supporters of the Comox Valley Chapter of the Council of Canadians. It was “the largest act of peaceful civil disobedience to stop tar sands pipelines and tankers that Canada has ever seen,” the Comox Valley chapter said in a news release.

“They came together to express their indignation that corporate profits are being given precedence over our environment, that First Nation rights are not being respected, and that our Canadian economy is being driven by the toxic greenhouse-gas-polluting tar sands industry,” the release continued. The 44-person Comox Valley contingent gathered before dawn to bus down to the Defend Our Coast rally, where they spent the day listening to speak-

As Council of Canadians’ national chair Maude Barlow said, pipelines are like ‘”tentacles across Canada,” keeping the extraction of crude production going at an ever faster pace until it is drained.

New Vanier approved Renee Andor Record Staff

The Comox Valley Board of Education unanimously voted in favour of the school district’s 2013 Five Year Capital Plan — which includes replacing G.P. Vanier Secondary School. School district secretary treasurer Russell Horswill told trustees during Tuesday’s board meeting the cost to replace the school would be about $44.5 million. This project is listed as the district’s No. 1 capital project priority in the plan. Vanier was built in the 1960s and was one of 14 B.C. schools chosen for seismic upgrading projects by the Ministry of Education back in May, but Horswill noted the cost for the seismic upgrade alone is now estimated at just over $23 million. “This (seismic upgrade) is a fairly extensive project and it’s in excess of half the cost of a new school to simply deal with the seismic work,” he said. “Is it adequate to just do a seismic job and hope to get 40 more years out of that school? Not likely.” When the seismic upgrade approval was announced in the spring, Horswill noted an estimated cost of $13 million had been sent to the Ministry a couple of years ago. However, over the summer, a complete review of the school was completed,

and a further $10 million was tacked onto the earlier estimate. After the review, four options were outlined in a Project Identification Report (PIR) — a seismic upgrade only, a renovation and seismic upgrade, a partial replacement which would retain the shop area, or a 1,250 capacity replacement school. The report also notes much of the school’s HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) infrastructure should be replaced, among other things. The cost of a mechanical upgrade, which would bring the school in line with current codes and standards, is estimated at just over $4.5 million. Horswill noted the Ministry approved the school for a seismic upgrade — not a new school — and the request for a new school is “somewhat at odds with the seismic project.” However, he added the school district should submit the seismic PIR for $23 million as the Ministry requested, and submit the capital plan PIR suggesting a new school is the best option. He pointed out district administrative staff have been in contact with the Ministry about what should be done at Vanier, and will continue to discuss what the best long-term option is for the school. “This may require some

thinking outside the box,” said Horswill. “The other question too is now that it’s a $23-million project, are we already outside of the box?” He explained the Ministry has about $122 million set aside for the seismic upgrade projects, which is supposed to be split between the 14 schools, making a $23-million share for Vanier possibly “out of the box.” Superintendent Sherry Elwood pointed out there’s only so long a building will last with upgrades. “There’s just a time where you can get to a place where you can only fix something so many times,” she said, adding even with a seismic upgrade to fix one component of the building, it’s still an old building. “You fix all that up and the other part of the building is, no matter how much you paint it up, it’s still 50 years old and so we’re just going to be in this position 10 years down the road.” Three other capital projects were included in the capital plan in order of priority: a mechanical upgrade at Miracle Beach Elementary School worth over $1.1 million; a mechanical upgrade at Royston Elementary School worth nearly $800,000; and a building envelope at Cumberland Junior Secondary School worth over $2.6 million. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Cougar sightings tailing off Record Staff

AN EMOTIONAL REUNION Jacques Manseau escorts one of his two dogs from the SCPA Thursday morning after an interim solution was reached between the Comox Valley Regional District and the Manseaus to return the Newfoundland dogs to their Black Creek home with conditions. Chum and Champ were held at the SPCA following their seizure spurred from a Jan. 5 complaint of a vicious attack. The fate of the dogs will be determined Dec. 6. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

A cougar that had eluded conservation officers last month in the Comox Valley appears to have vacated the area. The cat was mostly seen at Salish Park in Comox, but there were other sightings near St. Joseph’s Hospital, Mark Isfeld Secondary, the former Field Sawmill site, and at North Island College on a trail at the top end of Muir Road. Brooklyn Ele-

mentary employed a lockdown Sept. 20. The latest sighting was at Mahonia Crescent near CFB Comox on Tuesday. “Not too much in and around the park, that one’s gone quiet,” said conservation officer Mike Newton. “It’s definitely quietened from what is was.” The public is asked to call in cougar sightings at the RAPP line (Report all Poachers and Polluters) at 1-877-952-7277.

Coho fishing approved Record Staff Recreational anglers can fish for coho on the Courtenay and Puntledge rivers, as of Oct. 26 at 12:01 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently open for retention of two chum salmon,â&#x20AC;? said Bryce Gillard, fishery officer with the Comox branch of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (Puntledge) hatchery is satisfied theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to achieve their escapement requirements for coho. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently sitting at 83 per cent of the escapement required and they believe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to achieve that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So they recommended an opening for coho retention for recreational anglers on both the Courtenay and Puntledge rivers,â&#x20AC;? Gillard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The retention will be two coho, but only one of which may be over 30 centimetres. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowed one fouryear-old and one jack salmon.â&#x20AC;?

Gillard said the opening will be downstream of the weir at the hatchery. The closures 75 metres below the hatchery pool and at Morrison Creek remain in effect. Gillard notes some members of the Sports Fish Advisory Council are concerned about people retaining steelhead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steelhead is closed in the river. At last report there was a dozen steelhead in the entire system.â&#x20AC;? Anglers are advised to make sure of the identification of their species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it is, let it go. If they retain a steelhead, they will be charged,â&#x20AC;? said Gillard, adding the fine for the first fish is $150. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix up your steelhead with any other species.â&#x20AC;? Gillard said notices of the retention will be posted at both rivers. For more information, click www. pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca or call the Comox DFO office at 250-339-2031.

RCMP REPORT

Fewer oversized classrooms Renee Andor Record Staff

There are over 75 per cent fewer classes over the 30-student limit in the Comox Valley this year — but the Comox District Teachers’ Association (CDTA) is still concerned. “It was our intention this year to have no class sizes over 30 — anywhere,” School District 71 superintendent Sherry Elwood, told Board of Education trustees at Tuesday’s meeting. “We just had a bit of a cohort glitch at one of our schools regarding French immersion secondary cohorts, and we’re in a place where the 15 actual classes that are over 30 are all at one school — they are at Mark Isfeld.” She added a number of new Grade 8 and 9 students came to the school’s French immersion program at the last minute. Thirteen classes have 31 students and two have 32. According to Bill 22, kindergarten classes cannot exceed 22 students and Grades 1 to 3 cannot exceed 24 students. Grades 4 to 12 can exceed 30 students with teacher consent, and that teacher will receive compensation if they let the district know what kind of compensation they want. Compensation can be: an increase in pay, additional time, additional professional development funding or a request for specialized equipment or learning resources. CDTA president Steve Stanley told the Record teachers are pleased there are so few classes over 30 students this year; he wrote a couple of letters to the board last year noting 71 classes in the district with over 30 students. However, he pointed out Bill 22 removed

the limits on how many students with special needs there are per class and the requirement to report those numbers, which he said worries teachers. His letter last year noted 35 classes over the limit in elementary school classes, and 240 classes over the limit in secondary schools. He added the CDTA is gathering this information from each teacher in the district, which he said is timeconsuming but should be compiled by midNovember. He pointed out a large share of the Learning Improvement Fund (LIF) funding is going to educational assistants, but teachers have concerns around how well more educational assistants addresses having higher numbers of students with special needs in one classroom. “Putting 30 kids in a class and 10 of them having special needs and putting another adult in the room may

per cent of the funding on educational support staff. Elwood noted there’s never enough money to meet all the requests, but district staff assessed all of them and did their best to distribute the money fairly. “We tried to take a dollar and stretch it to make it about $1.60,” she said. “When you’re given $2 million worth of requests and you have $900,000, you can’t meet all the needs but we’ve done what we feel — after hours and hours of consultation and hours and hours of work — we’ve done our best to spread it as equitably and evenly as we can.”

not be the best way to address the learning needs of all of those students,” said Stanley. “And that seems to be the case — lots of classes have large numbers of specialneeds students in them and they’ve used that money to hire more educational assistants.” Elwood also noted the majority of the LIF funding — $909,500 for the Comox Valley — has been distributed through the district. She presented the spending plan for this school year and will send the plan to the Ministry of Education by the end of the month. Districts are required to spend at least 12.5

Off-leash park on hold in Comox Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Although the idea isn’t quite going to the dogs, Comox council decided Wednesday to put the idea of an offleash or leash-optional park on hold for now. During the committee of the whole meeting, Coun. Tom Grant said despite the suggestion from some residents, there are many aspects to consider

with a dedicated dog park. “We have to think about maintenance and liability issues that you have to deal with,” he said and added a section of the Northeast Woods could potentially be transformed into a park if the Town obtains a lease or control of the area. Coun. Barbara Price said she would like to see more public involvement around

Market indoors It’s transition time for farmers, done with the majority of harvesting, and storing and preserving the bounty for sale over the winter. And so the market turns inward as well, moving inside this weekend, back to the Native Son’s Hall for the cold months, open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon until Dec. 22. Shoppers can look forward to new offerings coming to market this winter including the much-awaited Tree Island Yogurt, goat’s milk gelato and Tria Caterings take home meals, as well as black cod and sable fish fillets and smoked pieces. And of course the regulars: fresh local veggies and fruit, salmon, halibut and prawns, beef, chicken, turkey, baked goods of all types including gluten free, as well as honey, natural body care products, even alpaca wool for spinning or knitting.

“We had a great outdoor season, with really no adverse weather; our biggest problem this year was providing shade for our customers, which is a great problem to have,” says manager Vickey Brown. Helen Austin will have a CD release party at 10:30 a.m. — Comox Valley Farmers’ Market

the discussion of an off-leash park, while Mayor Paul Ives noted there are options for those wanting to go to an off-leash site, which includes Goose Spit, Seal Bay and Cumberland. “It’s not in our strategic plan, and it’s certainly not in our budget,” he explained. “There’s been some interest, but not a groundswell of support.” ••• Named for a councillor who went above and beyond in his dedication to the Town of Comox, Coun. Hugh MacKinnon presented council with the Ray Crossley Youth Achievement Award terms of reference Wednesday. The award is designed to honour any youth (25 or younger) who is a current or former resident of Comox, or has contributed significantly to the betterment of the town.

The awards will recognize youth who have made a significant contribution to the Comox Valley through a unique achievement or outstanding service in sport, recreation, arts, environment, multiculturalism, heath care, education, leadership and more. The awards will be presented in December and June and the youth will be honoured in a brief ceremony prior to a regular council meeting, and receive a framed certificate and a Town pin. “It’s a way to be proud of the youth in our community,” said MacKinnon. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

When the Record caught up with Jangula inside the store, he said he’s pleased about the economic growth the store will generate in the Comox Valley, noting his son used to work for the company and it treats its employees — and communities — well.

City wants your transportation ideas Renee Andor Record Staff

DIGGING FOR DEALS The 10th annual Kids Clutter Sale last Saturday at the Courtenay Legion offered a parent all sorts of items for their children. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

CVRD partway toward spending Scott Stanfield

The City of Courtenay wants to know what the community would like to see in terms of transportation over the next 25 years. The City is in the midst of developing a 25-year Transportation Master Plan, and information about the plan can be found on Courtenay’s website, www. courtenay.ca, along with an electronic survey for Comox Valley residents to fill out. The deadline to complete the survey is Nov. 13. Representatives from O2 Planning and Design and Morrison Hershfield updated Courtenay council on the process so far during last week’s council meeting. The project started in August and is expected to be completed by January or February. O2 Planning and Design’s Andrew Palmiere noted the project is in the visioning stage right now, and it’s important the City prepares for future growth. The “City of Cour-

tenay is growing, you know, by 2037 we’ll be moving from 24,000 up to about 42,000 people, and how we accommodate those people and how you provide different opportunities for transportation and transit, are going to be absolutely critical,” he told council. According to a City staff report, “the visionary framework has been guided by the Official Community Plan which calls for a strong orientation to multi-modal transportation options.” Palmiere spoke about an idea of “complete streets” which would put wide roadways “on a diet” and use that space on the sides of the roads to help manage traffic flows and provide areas for alternative modes of transportation, like biking. “You’re still able to accommodate all the vehicles that you need to but you put those carriageways, like I said, on a diet, and you’ve started to think about other opportunities within that space, and it starts to become a pretty amazing place

it’s also the future.” In terms of benefits to the Valley, Grieve The Comox Valley would like to see the Regional district has reinstatement of the approved in principle ski train, which arrived funding support for the from Victoria on FriIsland Corridor Foun- days and departed dation’s rail and trestle Sundays.

pretty quickly,” he added. Mayor Larry Jangula said he was somewhat disappointed with the presentation because he didn’t see enough information about traffic flow. “You seemed to talk about bicycles and walking and that sort of thing. We’ve done a lot of work on that, we’ve spent a lot of money, proportionally I think, of taxpayers’ money, on the bicycle routes and walking. I’m not saying they’re not good things. Ninety-five per cent of the transportation in this community is still by private vehicle,” he said, adding he wants to see information on the potential of a third crossing over the Courtenay River and the viability of a circle road around the city. “We’ve beat this other one to death quite frankly, and due to our aging population, due to our weather today, we’re not going to get

people riding bikes every day of the year.” Palmiere responded that this report outlined a “higher level” vision, and the traffic analysis part of the

project hasn’t been completed yet. He told council things like the viability of a third river crossing and traffic flows will be looked at. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Elks know how to have a good time to celebrate The Courtenay Elks invite you to a buffet dinner and entertainment with Kenny Shaw on Nov. 3 at 6. Kenny enjoys a welldeserved reputation for drawing his audiences into a wacky world of high-powered comedy and music, innovative skits and hilarious oneliners. Inviting Kenny to entertain during this special evening is a light-hearted way of celebrating the serious contribution of the Elks of Canada’s 100 years of service and the Courtenay Elks’ own 90 years of charitable service. Come find out what the Elks do in your community and enjoy Kenny’s show as he integrates the hits of contemporary musical artists from the past three decades with humorous sketches of Dr. Ruth, Red Green, Jack Nicholson, Christopher Lloyd and many more. He also brings together some unlikely duos on stage, Johnny Cash and Dwight

Yoakam harmonizing on a duet. As far as we know, Kenny is the only entertainer capable of becoming two celebrity personalities in a single breath while charming his audience with his innovative talents. Innovation and talent are something the Elks know a thing or two about. As an organization originally formed for the gathering of performance artists, a need for community charity was soon realized. Later, the efforts of its members focused on helping needy children across Canada. The Elks continue to help local children with their educational, recreational and medical needs. Whenever Elks’ members, volunteers, and community members gather at the local lodge on Sixth Street they are supporting this effort to provide

resources for children in need. This comfortable space has provided an affordable place for friendships, fundraisers, and celebrations of every kind. Through the hands of generations of volunteers the Courtenay Elks has outlived nearly every other local business or charitable group.

National Cat Day is Oct. 29 and National Feral Cat Day was Oct. 16. The Kitty Cat PAL Society celebrated the latter with a fundraiser and awareness Walk-AThon on Oct. 14 and supporters raised over $1,000 to spay and neuter feral cats. Feral cats ultimately stem from abandoned pets. To help end this, the group asked local vets — the ones who perform these life-saving surgeries — to offer up to 10 no-charge surgeries for abandoned cats trapped by Kitty Cat PALS in aid of their rehabilitation and adoption to a new, loving, forever home. Comox Valley Animal Hospital (www. cvah.ca) has committed to 10 free surgeries. — Kitty Cat PAL Society

There’s an old joke about how to find a burning home in a rural or newly developed area. The fire chief asks for the address and the people say, “Just drive down the road and you’ll see the smoke.” But to our fire chiefs and other firefighters (many are volunteers) in the Comox Valley, finding a home quickly during an emergency is no laughing matter. That’s why the Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club has launched their new community and fundraiser project selling highly visible 911 Reflective Address Signs. These reflective metal plates with white reflective house numbers are screwed onto fences, posts or houses so your house numbers can be easily spotted day or night. Often house numbers in rural areas can be difficult to find because the homes are set back from the roads. If firefighters have to drive down a road two or three times to find a house, it could be too late. It’s not just for firefighters; the

address sign also helps rescue vehicles, delivery services and taxis find your home easily. The Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club serves the community by distributing numerous bursaries. “This project will help us raise funds to benefit our community and can have a definite positive impact,” says Lion David Dyck. To place your order, call 250338-9602 or visit www.911reflectivesign. ca. Orders are processed quickly and are

Cumberland opposing legislation Council fears enacted bill could limit their decisions Record Staff

GRADE 8 STUDENT Calvin Cotton shaves the head of Mark Isfeld Secondary vice-principal Gerald Fussell. Calvin singlehandedly influenced a school, and possibly a district, record of $7,922 raised for the Terry Fox Run.

Cumberland council approved a motion from Gwyn Sproule to write Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan to express opposition to a trade agreement tabled in the House of Commons. Council feels the For-

eign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement could limit local decision-making. “It’s one more situation where local government could be hampered in its decision-making,” Sproule said at Monday’s meeting. The letter will be copied to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities. ••• Council approved

a staff recommendation to relocate council chambers to the old pre-school next door at 2675 Dunsmuir Ave. It also approved a $12,500 allocation to upgrade the Cumberland Community Building, and to create space in the chambers currently used by council. Municipal offices have reached capacity for office and filing space, says a staff report. ••• Council referred a skatepark proposal from Cam Matthews to

staff. The 37-year-old mechanical engineer recommends constructing a 55x120-foot park at the Village Park basketball courts beside

Isfeld rocks Fox Mark R. Isfeld Secondary vice-principal Gerald Fussell had a hair appointment Wednesday. His head was shaved as the school enthusiastically supported the Terry Fox Run by dressing up in vibrant colours, running and raising funds for this worthy cause. Isfeld’s previous record for fundraising was just over $5,000 for a school of just over 900 students. The school raised $7,922, an average of $8 per student. Grade 8 student Calvin Cotton collected $3,500. — Mark R Isfeld Secondary

Co-op expanding with Joe Joe Russell, the brand new general manager of Comox District Co-op, is stepping into his new role just in time to help the organization navigate a much-anticipated expansion. The Co-op’s business plan for the near future calls for a new site to be opened within the next five years, and two more in the following five years. When longtime general manager Richard Kerton retired this summer, the board was tasked with finding a replacement capable of handling these changes. Russell, with extensive experience in the convenience store and petroleum service industry, was deemed to be the right man for the job. “The board wanted an experienced and capable businessbuilder, so we’re really

pleased to have Joe on board,” says co-op president Barry Wood. “In a short while, he’s developed deep roots in the Valley and he’s dedicated to the role that co-ops play in building strong communities.” Russell, who moved to the Comox Valley from Nova Scotia last year, says he’s excited to be working for what he describes as a “dynamic organization,” and that he’s looking forward to the challenges his new post will present. “This is the first chance I’ve had to work with a co-operative,” he says. “It’s a great approach to business and, with development plans in the works, it’s an especially great time to be part of the Comox Valley Co-op. “I love the feeling of being with the co-op,” he adds. “It’s like being welcomed into a new

Starting with ‘Hi’ Community Living BC (CLBC) is encouraging British Columbians to participate in Community Living Month by saying hi and starting a conversation with someone with a developmental disability in your community. CLBC has launched the second phase of the successful Start with Hi campaign across social media networks. The public education campaign also includes posters, a website and online videos at www. startwithhi.ca with six people with developmental disabilities who explain why the greeting matters to them. The campaign aims to inspire people to be more welcoming toward people with developmental disabilities by starting a conversation with a simple greeting. The idea came out of feedback from people with developmental

disabilities who said a small act, like saying hi, has a huge impact and can help a person feel included and safer in their community. Each year, Community Living Month celebrates the achievements of people with developmental disabilities. By taking a small action — greeting someone on the street or helping them catch the right bus — people can help them and their families have a stronger sense of belonging, and feel safe and welcome in their neighbourhood. CLBC is the Crown agency responsible for supports and services for disability-related needs of adults with developmental disabilities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder or autism spectrum disorder. — Community Living BC

family.” Being dedicated to the work of a co-operative, he says, means being committed to its members, each of whom is a co-op owner. As such, every member receives a yearly “patronage allocation,” which this year worked out to a more than sixcent-per-litre refund on fuel purchases. Russell is quick to note that the co-op not only puts its earnings back into the hands of its members, but it also supports dozens of local charities, cultural groups and social and

environmental endeavours. “Being a co-op member is being part of an organization that belongs to the community,” he explains. “’Moving ahead by giving back’ is the motto around here, but it’s more than just a jingle. It’s something I can really get behind, professionally and personally.” For information on becoming a co-op member, call 250-338-8181 or visit www.comoxvalleycoop.ca. — Comox Valley Co-op

On its 100th birthday the Denman Hall is getting a special gift — a new foundation, floor and some wall refinishing as well. The work is almost done, and this Saturday, there will be a 100year celebration. Everyone is welcome to attend the party, which starts at 1:30 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Inside, a short program will acknowledge the sponsors who donated funds and feature a short visual history of the hall, stories from some of the old families on Denman, and songs from the United Church Choir. The crowd can join the choir to sing Happy Birthday to the hall, and there will be birthday cake and coffee, tea or juice for all. After the program, locals and visitors alike will have the opportunity to shop for Denman arts and crafts. Denman has some amazing artists and craftspeople. There will also be a chance to visit the information tables of organizations that make Denman such an innovative island. The Growers’ and Producers’ Association will have an apple display. Concerts Denman will sell tickets for some world-class jazz and classical music performances. The Conservancy, the Volunteer Fire Fighters, Denman Island Ratepayers Association and the Denman Island Memorial Society (who are creating a green graveyard) will be there as well. You can view a historical display including a gas lamp from before the hall got electricity. At a dance in the 1940s, one of the gas lamps burnt a hole in the wall, and the fire chief shut the hall down until they got a generator and electric lighting. Later on Oct. 27, at 7:30, there will be an all-ages dance with lots of local musicians and other entertainers. Admission is free and treats will be available for a donation. This will be wonderful day of celebration for the renewed Denman Community Hall, which has been standing since 1912. — Denman Island Recreation Commission Society

Adult literacy fostered

PANEL MEMBERS DISCUSS child poverty in the Campbell River and Comox Valley region.

Women learn about poverty University women talk about it on World Food Day When Gail Nasadyk learned that child poverty in B.C. is the highest in the country, she decided to take action. She’s president of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) in the Comox Valley, which has been supporting local women for over 25 years by providing bursaries for post-secondary education. On Oct. 16, World Food Day, Gail chaired a panel discussion to help club members learn more about child poverty in the Campbell River and Comox Valley region. The meeting began with a ‘poverty lunch’, simple fare that helped participants to think about children living in poverty. Vicki Luckman, manager of the Courtenay Community Programs at the John Howard Society of North Island, encouraged participants to get involved by making individual donations and volunteering their services. “Gratitude for what I have opens me to others,” Vicki said as she described the types of local initiatives that already exist to address child poverty such as the KidStart Mentoring Program that pairs a child with an adult mentor.

The Adult Learning Centre has been promoting literacy in the Comox Valley since 1993, offering personalized tutoring services, free of charge, to adults in our community. They actively promote literacy and lifelong learning through a range of services and community involvement. They are seeking individuals who are interested in becoming a volunteer tutor in our Adult Literacy Program. Prospective tutors do not require a background in education, and many of our tutors come to us with a wide variety of employment backgrounds and life experiences. Often, the resource provided by our tutors is other than academic. Students starting out on the journey to further learning are usually in need of support and encouragement. This person need not be an “expert teacher” but rather, someone with a field of expertise who enjoys sharing and interacting with others. If you would like to

be part of this rewarding work, the Adult Learning Centre will offer a tutor training workshop starting in November. Contact

helping skilled clinical hypnotherapists to be very strategic about what they suggest to a person in a hypnotic state. Their goal is to help a person be more skilled with their bodies and minds, to reduce their experience of pain. A stage hypnotist suggests to a show participant that they might want to act like a chicken. A clinical hypnotherapist instead suggests ways for the mind to tone down the level or intensity of pain.

Just a pipe(line) dream? On Monday, thousands of people braved the cold fall air to protest and hear union activists, politicians, environmentalists and First Nations leaders slam the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. It’s great to see people exercising their democratic rights with peaceful protest and assembly on public space, in this case the legislature lawn. More protests happened around the province, including Courtenay, on Wednesday. It’s less gratifying to read that at least 1,000 people have signed up for civil disobedience training. Some groups announced they would seek to be arrested during the rally. Defend our Coast protesters filling local jail cells as a means to protest a pipeline in the North seems misguided at best. Passive resistance against police for trespassing or more active resistance through shoving or fighting makes for good evening TV news, but it does little to advance the debate about protecting B.C.’s coast and the North from oil leaks and spills. By Monday afternoon, Victoria police weren’t willing to arrest people engaging in blocking traffic or setting up signs on the Leg lawn, and overall the rally was peaceful, respectful and wellattended. Protesters want to send a message to Ottawa and the provincial government, but the B.C. Liberals aren’t exactly laying out the red carpet for Enbridge. The province has acknowledged that people have legitimate concerns about the safety of heavy oil pipelines. After recent public hearings in Prince George, the government slammed Enbridge for not providing practical solutions to the environmental risks, and noted the company lacks a spill response plan, among other systemic problems. The protesting public and the government aren’t exactly speaking the same language on pipelines, but the gap isn’t huge. On all fronts — with government, First Nations, the public — Enbridge faces a monumental battle to build its pipeline.

Railway doesn’t seem viable Dear editor, I read with interest the piece on the tax levy being proposed to raise money for the E&N Courtenay-Victoria railway line. I have wondered aloud why there is such an attachment to a railway that doesn’t seem to be viable. If it is true that “viable rail service has been a priority for Island communities since 2004 when districts, municipalities and First Nations rallied to save the railway from closure,” then there is likely a plan to accomplish it. Beyond some minor scheduling changes, I have not seen any actual comprehensive or realistic plan to make the railway viable. As it exists now, the railway is and will always be a drain on the taxpayer. That means the taxpayer pays for something that doesn’t provide any tangible return. Nevertheless vocal support exists for maintaining it while the opposition (if it exists) is fairly silent. I want to suggest a way of making the railway more viable and actually a major tourist attraction for the whole

Island. Build a bike path alongside it, the whole length and breadth. Linking communities, used for long or short commutes by bicycles, walkers, runners, skateboarders, rollerbladers, etc. Recently a friend and I rode our bikes to Victoria from Buckley Bay for my birthday. It was a great trip except for the intense, noisy and sometimes lifethreatening traffic and throatdamaging smog especially from Ladysmith on. I will do it again even with those issues because riding a bike is a wonderful way to travel

and a terrific way to see one’s surroundings, and it’s great exercise — no negatives in my mind. On this two-day trip, we patronized local business all the way down, including a farm bed and breakfast, a hotel, restaurants, convenience stores, a wine store, and a couple of coffeehouses. We discovered some wonderful local businesses on the way. Preparing for the trip, I spent money at two local bike shops and clothing stores. We didn’t ride home, though. We were picked up and driven home. How great it would have been to be able to hop on the train home. A yearly pass could be sold to people who want to use it to help pay for the building and maintenance of it. People could hop on with their bikes and have a mode of transportation when they arrive at their destination. The options are endless with this scenario, limited only by one’s imagination and willingness to work together as a large community for the good of the Island. Marie Gaudreau, Buckley Bay

Opposed to agreement with China Dear editor, I am opposed to the CanadaChina Foreign Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement (FIPA), which is poised to become law on Nov. 1. How can it be in Canada’s best interests if decisions made to protect our environment or improve our society by our municipal, provincial or federal governments can be challenged and overthrown by corporations that feel their expectation of profits will be limited or reduced? This treaty will allow Chinese investors to sue Canada in private, unaccountable tribunals

outside our court system. All lawsuits will be secret. Canada has always before insisted on complete openness in investor–state arbitration. I oppose this and other unfair and excessive corporate rights pacts. Corporations must not be

given this kind of control over Canada’s future. And Canadian corporations should not have these rights in China where democracy is already so fragile. This issue must be debated in the House of Commons. Kathie Woodley, Courtenay

Taxpayers not interested Dear editor, To the Sierra Club, good idea for the In Harmony for Nature concert. This should give them some more money, to pay the debt they

owe for the Dyke Road Gas Station fiasco. The taxpayers do not want to pay for their foolishness. Ron Venne, Courtenay

Is 100 English words, dead miners what we want? Dear editor, The truth is starting to come out about Compliance Energy and, as we have said all along, this is not about jobs for local people as John Tapics, president of Compliance Energy, would have us believe. John Tapics is also a director for a company called Lions Gate Metals (see www.lionsgatemetals. com). Recently, Lions Gate Metals received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Canadian Dehua International. As described by Investopedia, “Letters of Intent are

used during the merger and acquisitions process to outline a firm’s plan to buy/takeover another company.” Canadian Dehua International is the very company that is currently under criticism for bringing 200 Chinese miners to work in the coal mine at Murray River in northern B.C. A total of 2,000 Chinese miners will be imported to work in four coal mines in northern B.C. Dehua used the Conservatives’ new rules for bringing in foreign workers quickly if local workers

cannot be found. Dehua’s Canadian advertisement for coal mining positions said Mandarin speaking was required and the rate of pay offered was much less than the standard wages for coal miners. Not surprisingly, they got few applicants, opening the door to import miners from China. These Chinese miners would be beholden to the companies that bring them over. They would only need to know 100 words of English to work here. Since 2001, there have been 50,174 coal miners

killed in China. This begs the question, in a dangerous environment such as an underground coal mine, would workers be safe if they could only speak as little as 100 English words? It is not a big stretch of the imagination to think that another company could easily slide in and take over the Raven mine once the permit is approved, thus kicking open the door to Vancouver Island for three potential mines in the Comox Valley, as well as mines in Sayward, Tahsis, Port Alice

and Campbell River. Many of us do have a problem with foreign workers coming here for less pay and lower standards than those of us who have worked hard to win rights for safety, fair wages, benefits and reasonable working conditions. If it is true, or even possible, that many of the jobs promised by John Tapics will be given to people who do not currently live in the Valley, British Columbia, or even Canada (and how could it be otherwise if we don’t have enough experienced coal miners here?),

and most of the profits will not stay in the Valley, why would anyone support the destruction of our environment and a place to live that is the envy of the world? The Raven Coal mine is about investor greed, mining companies with compromised environmental ethics and no social licence to be here. It is time for everyone opposed to the mine to stand up and speak out for this place we love before it is too late. Lynne Wheeler, Fanny Bay

Marijuana prohibition ineffective Dear editor, Guns, drugs and the potential of violence: As a case in point to the recent topic of marijuana decriminalization at the UBCM convention we have another “local” instance of apparent success in the battle against bad weed(s). As stated by Cpl. Douglas, marijuana grow operations do include “criminal element[s] and the potential of violence.” This is hardly surprising. Fundamentally, marijuana distribution is in fact illegal [unregulated and uncon-

trolled]. The RCMP probably have fairly accurate data on how much of this illicit trade is actually being confiscated but according to Interpol seized contraband typically accounts for only 10 per cent of a given activity. According to the RCMP Drug Enforcement Branch [www. rcmp-grc.gc.ca], “Organized crime groups are involved in every aspect of illicit drug activity, with the resulting profits funding other crimes, posing numerous dangers that put the entire community at risk.” Further illicit drug use costs

Canadian society an estimated $8.2 billion a year. While I certainly do not condone guns, drugs, violence or criminal activity of any kind it seems to me that local producers of wine, beer and spirits do not have these problems, fundamentally because alcohol distribution is legal [regulated and controlled]. If we insist on continued ineffective marijuana prohibition then I suppose these are risks that we [as a society] are happy to bear or ignore. Graham Truax, Comox Valley

How far away should I park? I received a request from a gentleman who wanted others to know how far away drivers have to park from roadside features. He has a problem with people parking across the end of his driveway rather than keeping their distance and is hoping that a reminder to other drivers might solve it. Is your measuring tape ready? You cannot park in the following places: • On a sidewalk or boulevard; • In front of a driveway; • In an intersection unless permitted by a sign; • On a crosswalk, bridge, elevated roadway or in a tunnel, contrary to a sign; • On the roadway side of a vehicle already parked, • On a highway for the purpose of advertising or selling. You cannot park within five metres of a fire hydrant. You must not park within six metres of: • The approach side

Of course, if you must park somewhere forbidden due to a breakdown, a note on the car and a word to the property owner goes a long way to avoid misunderstandings.

Transportation plan feedback vital The City of Courtenay is inviting the community to provide feedback on the development of a new Transportation and Land Use Master Plan. It will guide transportation infrastructure and services in the city over the next 20 years and beyond. The planning is essential for addressing the issue of population growth while creating and maintaining a sustainable, accessible and livable city. The goal is to have a final design by January 2013 so now is the time for the community to have input into the long-term vision and the prioritization of transportation projects. Further information is available at www. courtenay.ca/operational/transportation-andland-use-master-plan. aspx. There is an opportunity to complete an online survey at www. surveymonkey.com/s/ TMP_Vision_Survey. The City of Portland provides a good example of what can be achieved with modest investments in bicycle infrastructure and programs. For a small fraction of the investments made in other modes of travel, Portland has created conditions such that bicycle use rivals transit use in large areas of town. Bicycle use continues to grow steadily while other modes either grow modestly or decline.

The types of changes experienced by Portland are now being seen— and documented — in cities of all sizes across North America that are beginning to make similar investments in bicycle infrastructure and programs. (Roger Geller, bicycle co-ordinator, City of Portland, Ore). Portland was a city like any other U.S. city in the 1980s and early 1990s in terms of transportation behaviour. Only when Portland began investing in bicycle infrastructure did residents begin to use bicycles for transportation at rates higher than the national average. Since 1990, bicycle use has grown 400 per cent, transit use has grown 18 per cent and driving has declined four per cent, all relative to population. Bicycling provides the best return on investment for transportation dollar spent in terms of providing personal mobility. The estimated replacement cost of Portland’s entire 300-mile bikeway network — acknowledged as the best in North America — is approxi-

Portlanders’ use of bicycles has resulted in improved health for Portland’s population and more money remaining in the local economy. Portland’s city traffic engineer states that, “Bicycling infra-

structure is relatively easy to implement and low cost compared to other modes. It is by far the most cost-effective way to provide for personal mobility in an urban transportation system.” Cities across the U.S. that are beginning to invest in bicycle infrastructure are seeing the same types of changes and benefits from which Portland has been benefiting for years.

SIZING LUMBER After surfacing, a board might be reduced by as much as 1/4” on each side, but it will still be identiﬁed by the original size. So in other words, a “two-by-four”, is actually only 1-1/2” by 3-1/2” in size.This can be misleading to a novice when lumber is referred to in sizes which are not the actual dimensions. Come see us!

DIRECTOR BENH ZEITLIN has made a film that celebrates a place where people refuse to leave their homes — no matter how dire the situation.

‘Three beautiful films in one’ Beasts of the Southern Wild is a fantastical, emotionally powerful journey and a strong case of filmmaking that values imagination over money. For the critically acclaimed feature, director Benh Zeitlin and his small film crew set up production in an abandoned convenience store in Montegut, La., to make a film that celebrates a place where people refuse to leave their homes — no matter how dire the situation. In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a young girl exists on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe until a fierce storm changes her

The Zhambai Trio formed in Vancouver in early 2010 following the musical inspiration of accomplished musicians Kurai Mubaiwa, Curtis Andrews and Navaro Franco. The group plays traditional and original music from Zimbabwe and features ancient instruments such as the mbira (thumb piano), hosho (maracas), and ngoma (hand drums) as well as the more contemporary Zimbabwean marimba. The haunting yet uplifting sound of the mbira rhythms and interlocking melodies combined with the lilting quality of the vocal harmonies are at once stimulating and relaxing. Zhambai has performed at numerous venues in Vancouver to thrilled and enthusiastic audiences. Zhambai means scream in the Zimbabwean Shona language. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central instrument, the mbira, is a melodic 25-key Zimbabwean lamellophone that in Shona mythology is believed to connect the living with the spirit world of the ancestors. It has been used for centuries in Zimbabwe to fulfil spiritual needs and for healing. In the past three decades it has gone worldwide and can be found in numerous new environments ranging from pop bands to movie soundtracks to world music fusion ensembles. Kurai Mubaiwa has

With a few Juno nominations and about eight solo albums to his credit, Michel is one of the finest and most charming songwriters to grace the stage. His honest and straightforward lyrics, earnest live performances and witty stage banter have earned him a devoted global fan base. If you’ve seen Danny live in concert, you’re probably already a fan. If you haven’t, you’re missing out on “one of this country’s undiscovered musical treasures,” says the Toronto Star. Michel performs Oct. 30 at Joe’s Garage. On July 1, 2011 Danny released his newest album, Sunset Sea. Recorded with American Grammynominated producer Mark Stockert, the new album was created and partially recorded in Belize, Central America. Danny built excitement and anticipation around his new album with a behind-thescenes look into his studio and the making of his record. He even challenged his fans from around the world to submit their own tracks for the album. As a result, a few of his own parts were replaced by what he considered “better ones” from his fans. One of the tracks will feature a chorus of fans from around the world. Other guests include Sarah Harmer. Danny is an innovator. A truly independent, hard-working artist demonstrating that creativity in the digital age can build a rich successful and intimate relationship with fans. He gained publicity in 2008 for making the tracks of his hit single Feather, Fur & Fin available for his fans to remix and then posting their versions on his website. The same song recently won the David Suzuki Playlist for the Planet contest. For his birthday this past year, Danny “showed the love” to his grateful fans by offering his entire catalogue of music free for download for the day. And again on Canada Day, the anniversary of Sunset Sea.

MusicFest moment could be yours It’s only October but for Vancouver Island MusicFest artistic director/executive producer Doug Cox, the process of booking performers for the 2013 festival has already started. “The process began even before last year’s festival was over,” says Cox. “We are negotiating with a number of great acts and will have some major announcements soon.” But headliners are only half the story when it comes to booking acts for the VI MusicFest. A big part of what makes MusicFest so well respected in the community is the number of opportunities provided to local performers to be part of the MusicFest’s player roster each year. “MusicFest is about celebrating excellence and we have many world-class artists here on Vancouver Island,” enthused Cox. “Local adult musicians wishing to perform at the festival need to be ready to go professional, or already be professional, which means they should have a CD out that is properly packaged. We also want to support younger musicians who may not be there yet but they should at least have some performance footage on YouTube we can have a look at. “ Local recording artist Helen Austin is no stranger to the stages at MusicFest. “Playing at VIMF as a local is one of the best feelings,” says Austin. “Not only are you playing for your home town, but you’re also being heard and seen by thousands of music fans from all over Canada and the world and that’s a perfect combination.” Applications for the 2013 VI MusicFest for local Island musicians are now being accepted.

An award-winning choreographer and performer, Mascall Dance’s artistic director Jennifer Mascall will teach a free workshop on experiential anatomy and the creative process Nov. 2 at the Abbey Studio in Cumberland (corner of First Street and Penrith Avenue). “My interest is the body. Finding places in the body that lead us to dancing,” Mascall says. “Why was the waltz so shocking when it arrived in the 18th century? A man put his hand around the waist of another person.” To register and for more information, contact Jade de Trey at 250-400-0842 or visit www.sidwilliamstheatre.com/season. — Sid Williams Theatre

Dance is an art form with significant impact on our culture — today it is everywhere from flash mobs on the street to reality television. If you enjoy programs like So You Think You Can Dance, you are sure to enjoy Mascall Dance: Nail to House, a Sid Williams Theatre Society presentation on Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Nail to House has two parts: the first, an informal talk that is a window to the art form of dance, and the second, a performance of Homewerk, the critically acclaimed contemporary dance piece that tells a story about the universality of home and belonging. The informal talk will provide insight into the narrative and movement of Homewerk, explaining the creation process of the piece. The narrative of Homewerk is both personal and universal, making it a uniquely accessible forum to talk about dance. Those new to dance will find the information very educational, while those already students of dance will delight in the perspective and rich details of the creation process. Homewerk is an educational dance piece that inspires and entertains through stories of home from around the world. It stems from over 18 years of research on home and belonging. Dance is used as a medium for storytelling to engage our ideas of home, including shelter, comfort, and acceptance, in creative and physical ways. Four dancers tell stories through words and choreographed movement, using cardboard props that create vivid imagery as they transform from houses into villages, to screens at an airport to medieval gowns. Buildings are created and destroyed, flattened and climbed. “I saw a preview of this performance at Pacific Contact [an annual industry conference in Vancouver] a few years ago and it has stuck in my mind. The sets are incredibly inventive and the story a powerful one. Even if you’re not involved with dance anyone would enjoy the spectacular artistry of this piece,” says Joanne Mills, the Sid Williams Theatre Society’s event co-ordinator about programming the Mascall

Wild Women, Jeff and Jeremy will soon be uncorked take that question up with them. Think of the cork as object, as metaphor. The meaning of being uncorked is letting out things,of celebrating; your and our creativity. It is the unleashing of a million views, derivations cogitations, and all this in our incredible art community.

Displayed art will be rare, eccentric, and often beautiful If you think you’ve seen it all, you haven’t been up to Cumberland at the Corre Alice Gallery, where all sorts of different art is being displayed. We’re asking you to open your mind and come see what people whose vision of the world around them takes a turn down a different road on a different day in a different surrounding. The works featured here are rare, eccentric and most times; beautiful. Artworks will feature one-of-a-kind furniture by stain glass artist Nancy Morrison. We are also featuring the vibrantly energized abstract pieces by Arlene McLeod. Pam Young of South Hollow fame will feature a whimsical mixed media piece with a luxurious variety of specialty papers that may or may not contain elephant dung. Yes, they’re different. They’re a cobbledtogether group of artists that have no general direction, without theme or mission statement. They try to nail down what it is that we make but someone like Erica Johanssen who creates “plaster coming to life off of a canvas “ just doesn’t help, albeit miraculously true. Jeremy is a young man who loves his cats and can’t stop painting pictures of them and they are rumored to be getting bigger, the paintings, not the cats, hopefully. Barb Hutson is a colourist and feeler of space, dimension, texture and soul. Her work will try the viewer. Expect the challenge from the limitations of the two-dimensional picture plain, and a triumph of colour. Gina Finotti will feature her bombastic and strange

A small world gives us a small view, an uncorked view sends us into a world with infinite worlds, and different parameters, different possibilities. Wild Women Uncorked debuts at the Corre Alice Gallery on Dunsmuir in Cumberland on Nov. 2. A reception starts at 7 p.m.

Jeff Hartbower is a fixture and solid citizen in our art community. His works always include a sentient comment about our community as well as breaking us, into a world that decries injustice and alienation of the modern man. In a world arrayed against the artist as James Baldwin once said, we offer a view sometimes stifled yet expansive and mostly different. This show is called Wild Women Uncorked.

COMOX VALLEY PHOTOGRAPHERS Christina Nienaber-Roberts and Keith Roberts have a fascinating personal story and some eyecatching photos to share. Their photos can be seen at Serious Coffee in Courtenay in November and December.

Congratulations ns oy Taylor and enjoy your gifts from m these community-minded businesses.

Photographers showing work For November and December, Serious Coffee in Courtenay will host an exhibition of photographic Images of Light by accomplished Comox Valley photographers Christina Nienaber-Roberts and Keith Roberts. As they share special moments upon their experience-rich 30-year journey together, the couple aim through their images, to inspire a connection with the natural world that they so deeply love. Christina’s first photograph, taken at the age of 13, using a Kodak Instamatic, in Hluhluwe Game Reserve in KwaZulu/Natal was a close-range portrait of a cheetah’s face. She still has that square black and white photograph that she proudly carried in the pocket of her high school blazer. Decades later, in Canada, she learned from White Elk Medicine Woman that Keith’s spirit name is Running Cheetah! Keith’s photographic explorations also started in 1966, with a very similar camera, when he started documenting his natural surroundings on a Boys Brigade camp in Snowdonia, North Wales — a part of the world where the couple still love to hike. The couple met the day Keith arrived at the Bushveld Research Institute at University of Pretoria in South Africa, where he had won a PhD Scholarship and where Christina was working on her masters. Two weeks later, on a hike in the Drakensberg Mountains, camera in hand,

Keith proposed and two years later they married. Geology offered them a ticket to live their passion for travel — and photography and over the years both photographers have developed an uncanny ability to capture light in a way that comes alive on canvas and tends to provoke a deep resonance within the viewer. The couple’s photographic images and artwork have been included in exhibitions in South Africa and the Sultanate of Oman, where they lived and worked as geologists in the 1980s and ‘90s, as See ART, B11

Bell playing ball Down Under Roberto Angotti Special to the Record

Like Sex and the City starlett Kim Cattrall, Carter Bell grew up in the small Vancouver Island, B.C. city of Courtenay. Opting out of the A-Rod spotlight method with the usual Hollywood fanfare and paparazzi, the 22-year-old Bell chose a lower profile means of

pursuing his professional baseball career under the radar by playing for the Perth Heath in the Australian Baseball League. Following the same path as Milwaukee Brewers’ infielder Taylor Green, the six-foot-one Canadian third baseman played high school baseball for the Parksville Royals of the British Columbia Premier Base-

ball League. Upon graduation, Bell was a 22nd-round selection by the San Francisco Giants in the 2008 MLB First-Year Player Draft but did not sign in favour of accepting a scholarship to play ball for the Oregon State Beavers. MLB noticed Bell early on when he donned a Team Canada uniform for the first-time at age 17. Rep-

resenting his country in far away competitions held in Mexico, Japan as well as on his home turf, the BC All-Star chose the 2006 and 2007 NCAA National Champ Oregon State University baseball program to further develop his craft. The decision was sound as he was selected in the 29th round of the 2011 MLB June Amateur Draft and signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks following his junior year at OSU. Hitting .270 in 41 games with eight doubles, two triples, one home run and 17 RBI, Bell’s pro debut with the 2011 Single-A Short Season Yakima Bears catapulted him to Single-A Advanced Visalia Rawhide in 2012. In Cal League play, he batted .259 in 81 games with 11 doubles, one triple, four home runs and 36 RBI. The road leading Down Under to the Perth Heat originated back in Oregon, where Bell played for former Perth Heat manager and long-standing Corvalis Knights skipper Brooke Knight after his first year at OSU. In his limited 10 games of 2009 West Coast League action, Bell hit .303 (10-33) with three RBI before suffering a seasonending concussion. Brooke Knight credits his best friend since his college days in playing ball together at Oregon State University, Mike Thurman, for pointing him in the right direction just north of the border to find the Victoriaborn Bell, who rapidly rose to prominence in the Comox Valley Baseball Association and B.C. Premier Baseball League before playing as a teenager for Team Canada. Speaking on the eve before departing to Australia to assist new Perth Heat skipper Steve Fish in preparing the reigning Australian champions for next month’s Asia Series See BELL, B19

All three local teams finished in the top half of the standings at the 16-team Vanier-Isfeld senior girls volleyball tournament, held Oct. 19-20. The Vanier Towhees lost to Ballenas Whalers in an entertaining three-set championship on Saturday afternoon. “That was big for our team,” said Vanier coach Dave Neill. “Actually we took the second game

quite convincingly, but in the third game they pulled away. They’re probably the best team on the Island right now,” said Neill of the #7 AAA Whalers. Brentwood finished third, Carihi (#8 AAA) fourth, Terry Fox fifth, Isfeld Ice sixth, Campbell River Christian (#10 A) seventh and Highland Raiders eighth. “It was a really good outing for our team, for sure,” Neill said of the tourney. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Glacier Kings too much for Bucs

HOCKEY RESULTS GIVE COUP THE SCOOP! email: sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Earle Couper

Record Staff

The Comox Valley Glacier Kings took a wrecking ball to the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Oct. 20, demolishing them 6-1. Mitch Ball banged in two goals and assisted on two others as the Icemen extended their Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League North Division lead to seven points over the second-place Bucs. Ball now leads the team in goals with 10, one more than Jordan Kamprath who had two assists on Saturday to stay two points up on Ball in the points department. Matthew Mitchell returned from injury and looked like he’d never been away, kicking out 25 shots. Jordan Levesque ruined Mitchell’s shutout bid at 15:34 of the third period. The Yetis fired 31 shots at former teammate Cameron Large, with Adam Robertson, John Gosbee, Desmond Bast and Jack Kennelly (making his return to the Glacier Kings after a stint with the Jr. A Weyburn Red Wings of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League) scoring one each to go along with Ball’s twogoal effort. Ball netted the only goal of the opening frame, and the Yetis’ power play clicked twice in the second to make it 3-0 courtesy of Robertson’s third of the year and Gosbee with his first of the season. Bast blasted his third of the year past Large late in the stanza to put Comox Valley up by four. Ball and Kennelly connected just 41 seconds apart in the 13th minute of the third to stretch the lead to 6-0 before Levesque beat Mitchell. With the game out of reach in the third, things got a little nasty between Carter Jensen of the Glacier Kings and Johnathan Speer of the Buccaneers. Both got five-minute fighting majors and game misconducts, with Jensen picking up two additional minors for being the aggressor and instigator. The Glacier Kings close out the October portion of their schedule Saturday when they host the Campbell River Storm in a 7:30 p.m. start at the Comox Valley Sports Centre Arena No. 1.

Bell in Perth Continued from B13

THE COMOX VALLEY Raiders Youth Football Club hosted two games Sunday against Parksville opponents at Bill Moore Memorial Park. The local Peewees (in action above with Luke Yeo carrying the ball and teammates Lucas MeredithJones and Justin Meredith-Jones (#19) in the background) dropped a 14-7 decision while the Junior Bantams fell 42-25. PHOTO BY EARLE COUPER

against its foreign counterparts from Japan, Taiwan, China and South Korea, Knight explained how Canadian import Carter Bell landed Down Under: “To his credit, Carter took the initiative to call me and express his initial desire to play for the Perth Heat. He still considers it a privilege to take on this challenge. I told him it was the perfect winter league for him to get his body ready for spring because the ABL offers something that cannot be found anywhere else. The atmosphere and structure keeps players healthy because the league emphasizes safety first by limiting play to four games a week, which allows you to rest your body and properly heal.” Knight also read Bell the disclaimer and warned him of the Aussie side effects: “I told him that Australia was culturally different as well and when it gets hot in December one can get homesick real fast and start crying out for girlfriends.” Knight feels blessed to

have had the opportunity to coach such fine players as Carter Bell in Perth and Corvallis. “With guidance, I have luckily ended up with the right kids. Carter is a solid player. I’m just waiting for him to breakout. He’s got gap power and can hit the ball well the other way (to the opposite field). “His power numbers will bump up as they did for import Adam Melker, a St. Louis Cardinals prospect.” Adam was Carter’s teammate on Brooke Knight’s 2009 Corvallis Knights. They will reunite under Knight’s leadership on the Perth Heat in the upcoming 2012 Asia Series on November 8-11 in Busan, South Korea. Melker hit 10 home runs for Double-A Springfield in 2012 as compared to none in 2011. Knight believes in Bell. “He’s got a chance to make a difference. Carter has good range and can play the corners, not to mention he’s a Team Canada all-star shortstop.” Roberto Angotti is an MLB blogger at mlbforlife.com.

Moule and SAIT Trojans muscling up for big year CALGARY — Fifteen minutes into a discussion of his hardcourt hopes for the coming winter, Mike Stevens makes a startling pronouncement. “Personally, I’ve been around (the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference) as a player, and as a coach, since 1997,” says the sixthyear bench boss of the SAIT Trojans men’s basketball squad, which includes Isfeld Ice alumnus Josh Moule of Cumberland. “And this is as deep a team as I’ve seen.” Wait, Mike. You mean at SAIT, right? “No. All around the league,” he says. “I’m not necessarily talking about talent level, or all-stars. What I’m saying is, how many teams

could throw out their 15th guy, not even worry about it, and expect them go out and have a huge impact on the game? “That’s why I’m telling the guys this year: ‘Bring what you have when we need it. Because if you can’t, we move on to the next guy.’” The Trojans are coming off an uncharacteristic 5-13 season, but they hope the disappointment of 2011-12 is soon a speck in the rear-view mirror. When the Men of Troy begin their 201213 ACAC campaign tonight at SAIT’s Campus Centre, with an 8 p.m. date against the Grande Prairie Regional College Wolves, they don’t expect their

In the backcourt, Stevens has so many decisions that he’s not 100-per-cent set on a starting lineup from one night to another.

Through SAIT’s preseason — which ended with a 2-7 record, including three dates against Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) opposition — he’s been opting for co-captain and sophomore Justin Makasiar (2nd year, Calgary, business administration) at point guard, rookie Cordell Minnifee (1st year, Calgary, academic upgrading) at shooting guard, and former Camosun College

Charger Josh Moule (2nd year, Cumberland, academic upgrading) at the wing. With the departure of the Mount Royal University Cougars this season to the Canada West conference of CIS, Stevens has taken a new approach to recruiting. He recognizes that the Trojans now have the opportunity, more than ever, to be a stepping stone — a junior college, if you will — for eventual CIS regulars at MRU and the University of Calgary, and is running with it. “Hopefully we can attract some of that, help them refine their skills, and possibly then see them move up to the CIS and play.” – SAIT Trojans

SkiPass goes national It’s Canada’s best ski and snowboard deal... and for the first time, it’s accessible across the country. The Canadian Ski Council’s SnowPass provides free skiing and snowboarding for Canadian kids in Grade 4 and Grade 5. New this winter, kids can use their SnowPass at participating ski areas anywhere in Canada. “This is so exciting for us,” explains Patrick Arkeveld, Canadian Ski Council (CSC) president and CEO. The Canadian Ski Council’s SnowPass gives kids in Grades 4 and 5 (born in 2002 or 2003) up to three free coupons for lift tickets at each participating ski area... all for a onetime administration fee of $29.95, including taxes. There are 149 participating ski areas across the country. If a child skis three times at each participating

resort... that’s a lot of free skiing. Online applications are now available at www.snowpass.ca. In November, SnowPass applications will also be distributed inside Sport Chek stores across Canada. Once an application is complete, a SnowPass will be sent straight to you starting mid-Novem-

ber. The SnowPass season starts Dec. 1. Now in its 16th year, the CSC’s SnowPass program has given more than 500,000 Canadian kids opportunities to ski or snowboard free. For more information, visit www.snowpass.ca. – Canadian Ski Council

Valley bustling with outdoor activity O

n Sunday, Oct. 21 I opted to spend the day visiting some of the activities related to hunting and fishing that were going on in the Valley. It was a rich, rewarding experience to witness families, seniors, and a broad cross section of people taking part in the day’s outings. There is no place for couch potatoes in these activities. My first stop was the Gun Show at the Courtenay and District Fish and Game Protective Association clubhouse. When I arrived my first surprise was the large number of cars parked in the grounds. I came early and the show was already overflowing with attendees. The Gun Show is much more than a gun show – it takes on the aspects of a crowded bazaar with traders offering all manner of outdoor stuff from guns, bows and arrows and associated materials to fly fishing displays, special tools and numerous types of knives. The club kitchen provides pancake breakfasts and lunches throughout the show. It is a family affair where buyers are haggling with sellers to get the best deal possible – good stuff. From the Gun Show I travelled down the river to the annual Rivers Day celebration at the Puntledge Hatchery. Again I was pleasantly impressed by the large turn out – especially young families and seniors. I along with hundreds of others had to park my truck well up on Powerhouse Road and walk down to the hatchery. Along the way I was joined by families with many small children who were taking the hike up and down the hill to the hatchery as part of the day’s events. Somebody remarked the trip up the hill was longer than going down; but nobody was complaining. The staff at the hatchery gave graphic illustrations of their work such as coded wire marking of fish while other members took you on a guided tour of what they do. You get to see first hand the sorting of fish by species and readiness to spawn. Today they were working with Puntledge River fall chinook while the coho and chum salmon were segregated for future spawning.

OUTDOORS

RALPH SHAW The entire process of stripping females and fertilizing the eggs takes place during the day. There are no phony signs suggesting that this process may not be suitable for all viewers. It is a reality show of the vital link hatcheries perform in the on-going challenges of maintaining healthy salmon runs in our rivers. Little children could paint a pink salmon

with wet paint, press a suitable piece of paper on the fish and peel off a coloured print of their own creation. When they leave the site they take their dried painting home. There were also group displays by various enhancement groups and the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy, which offered their beautiful 2013 Comox Valley Conservation Calendar for sale. It is a striking, beautiful series of pictures of the many conservation projects throughout the Comox Valley and would make a wonderful gift for anybody on your Christmas list (cost $15).

An added highlight of the visit was the large number of coho in the viewing room. From the hatchery I journeyed down river to the Condensory Bridge to see what was happening with the in-river chum salmon fishing. The picture with this column illustrates the spectacular fishing that is taking place below the bridge and along the river to the bend. I found it interesting that the fishers immediately below the bridge on the lower side were all teenagers – five boys and one girl. When I took the picture five of them were

We Deliver to Your Yard By the Yard!

playing fish and the one boy was cleaning a fresh bright chum salmon. As I looked into the waters below the bridge I saw the largest concentration of fish I have ever seen at this location. For the young anglers who all had good casting skills it was like fishing in a barrel. Above and below the bridge I counted about 40 anglers and up and down the river they were busy trying to land chum salmon. Most were released back into the river, but a significant number of fresh fish were being kept to take home. In spite of a two-week delay, the river was more than generous in its gifting of chum salmon. Ralph Shaw is a master fly fisherman who was awarded the Order of Canada in 1984 for his conservation efforts. In 20 years of writing a column in the Comox Valley Record it has won several awards.

Feb. 20, 1931 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oct. 8, 2012 Our dear sister passed away peacefully at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Comox after a year long struggle with cancer. She is survived by her three sisters; Dulcie Hamilton, Georgie Smith and Julie Malcolm. Nephews and nieces Edgar (Mary Ann), Phillip (Debbie), Roderick (Joanne), Douglas (Trish) and Leslie (Peter) and close friend Myra Orr. Also many great and great-great nephews and nieces. Chereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life began on the family dairy farm on Mt. Newton Cross Road in Saanichton, BC. Her early school years were spent in Victoria. A family move to the Comox Valley had her finishing school at the original Courtenay High School, which is now demolished, and then she attended Normal School back in Victoria to attain her teaching certification. Chere spent 4 years travelling to many remote BC locations as a young teacher. Chereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of travel soon lured her to Great Britain and the Continent after which she returned home to resume her education at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria as a laboratory technologist. She worked at the Veterans Hospital for seven years. After further training she became a microbiology technologist progressing from Med Tech 1 to Med Tech 3. Soon after acquiring work at Shaughnessy Hospital in Vancouver, in 1965, she became the microbiology section supervisor, a position which she held for the next 21 years of her career. After retirement she moved back to Courtenay to be close to her family. Chere was always keen on sports and the outdoors throughout her life. During her teen years she proved to be an avid dancer, ballet being her specialty, and a horse lover with many hours in the saddle. She skied Mt. Becher as a teenager along with ski trips up the Forbidden Plateau before the lifts were even considered. Upon her return to the Valley table tennis had became her favorite game and she spent many an hour practicing at the Florence Filberg Centre. She proved to be very good at the game. She attended many Senior and Winter games for the Comox Valley Zone, winning many medals in competition. She was an active member of the Comox Valley Naturalists. Her interest was in all the flora and fauna as well as the hiking. Her love of photography was evident by the many beautiful photos she captured on the botany trips in particular. Chere travelled frequently about the world, enjoying every square inch of it. No service by request. She will be greatly missed by friends and family.

Elizabeth Jane Holmes (Macgregor) March 3, 1938 - October 21, 2012 Jane passed away peacefully at her home in Courtenay, BC on October 21, 2012 at the age of 74, with her loving partner of eighteen years, Gord Pirie, at her side. During her lengthy battle with cancer, Jane was tenacious and incredibly resilient - never losing her spirit or sense of humour. She will be greatly missed by her four children Shelly Tognazzini, Scott Holmes (Jennifer), Shannon Holmes (Kristian), and Sean Holmes (Kristi) and their father Earl Holmes; grandchildren Liza, Jamie and Ries; brother Don MacGregor & his wife Wally, and Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many nieces and nephews. She is recently predeceased by her younger sister Marnie Sutton. Born and raised in Edmonton to Dr. John and Marjorie Macgregor, Jane had an incredible zest for life and an ever sunny disposition; those traits combined with her curious nature made her friends far and wide. Candid and always kind, Jane was an extremely sensitive, caring soul - people were simply drawn to her. She had a great lifelong passion for the arts, having played the piano and danced with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet as a young woman. Jane was also adaptable and industrious, possessing a remarkable work ethic. In the restaurants run by Jane and Earl in the BC interior, she simultaneously took on the roles of dining room manager, chief bottle washer and designer, sewing hundreds of metres of gold velvet curtains to dress up the joint (it was the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after all). Later in life, settled in the lovely Comox Valley, Jane and Gord spent countless hours at Longlands Golf Course with their â&#x20AC;&#x153;golf gangâ&#x20AC;? and any visiting family and friends. They adored the game, the socializing, and the spectacular scenery of the West coast. Jane was truly the heart of the family - deeply loved by one and all.

Grandchildren Clay, Kendall, Jared and Carey, 3 great grandchildren. Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John (Joan), Bernard (Fran), sister-inlaw Erma, and many nieces and nephews. No service by request.

Doris Ruby Muma (Ball) Ruby passed away October 21, 2012 surrounded by loved ones at St Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. A long time resident of Comox Valley, Ruby is survived by her devoted husband of 59 years Doug, daughters Sharon (Mike) and Kathi, 6 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. She will be fondly remembered by her siblings Betty, Daryl (Shirley), Darnel (Ted), and many nieces and nephews. A very stylish woman, Ruby enjoyed travelling, time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, quiet moments with her husband, loved Coronation Street and was an avid reader. The family would like to thank Dr. G. Tancon, Dr. M. Robertson, staff of Valley Care and the third floor nursing staff of St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Ruby will truly be missed by her family and friends. A Celebration of Life Tea will be held at the Piercyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-Mt. Washington Funeral Home on November 2, 2-4pm.

In loving memory of Bonnie (Levonne) Brandon nee Pendergast February 28, 1935 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 14, 2012 Bonnie passed away at home in Merville lovingly surrounded by her family. She is survived by her husband of 58 years Milton, children Beverly (Bruce) Pybus, Neil (Brenda) Brandon, Lynnette (Nick) Nesling, Janice Brandon, Fred (Maria) Holland and a plethora of grand and great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by son Kris Brandon. Her roles in life were varied; secretary, florist, commercial fisherman but primarily Wife and Mother, she excelled at them all. Her legacy is one of love, persistence and hard work with a healthy dollop of opinion. Bonnie was born in Innisfail, Alberta and travelled with her family to the lower mainland where she met and married Milton Brandon. Not long afterward they began their gypsy lifestyle with children in tow, following the work from Vancouver to Germany and back, to Dawson Creek, Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hope, Hazelton, Campbell River, Cumberland, Courtenay, Potts Lagoon, Ladysmith, Cassidy, back to Courtenay and eventually stopping in Merville. Her love of growing things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether child, plant or animal was very evident in all aspects of her life. She will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society.

The family would like to thank the fabulous health care professionals that took care of Bonnie; Dr. Olga Lamykina, all the home care workers, nurses, and pharmacists Ike and Sharon. Your compassion and council have been greatly leaned upon and appreciated. We are so lucky to have such amazing Hospice home support in the Valley.

Condolences may be sent to the family at tributetojane@ gmail.com. At her request, the family will be gathering in summer 2013 to commemorate Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and spread her ashes in the Shuswap Lake, alongside her dear sister Marnie.

At her insistence, there will be neither funeral nor memorial. In lieu of flowers, a donation to cancer research or to the Oscar Fund at Van Isle Veterinary Clinic would be greatly appreciated.

Quick! A costume!

Roasted pumpkin seeds

For 2 bowls

You hadn’t planned on celebrating Halloween this year, but you’ve just received an invitation that you can’t refuse? Where on earth can you find a great costume at the last minute? Here are a few simple tricks to make your evening a dress-up success.

What’s more fun, scraping out the pumpkin or roasting the seeds and eating them? Look at it this way: crunchy, salty pumpkin seeds are a great reward for the hard work of carving a jack o’ lantern. Your children can season and mix the seeds and then spread them on a baking sheet.

INGREDIENTS: • 300 g (10 1/2 oz) pumpkin seeds • 30 ml (2 tbsp) oil • 5 ml (1 tsp) salt PREPARATION: • Preheat the oven to 175 oC (350 oF). • Rinse the seeds under cold water, removing all the fibrous strings. Dry them thoroughly and place them in a big bowl. Add the oil and salt and mix well so that all the seeds are well coated. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove when the seeds are crisp and golden.

Costumes made on the spur of the moment are often the favourites of the evening. For a classic Halloween standby, a retro hippy look can be created with a headband, chunky necklaces, round glasses, colourful clothes, and a pair of sandals. A country look can be invented with a big straw hat and a long dress in neutral tones. With an old shirt, a torn hat, and some grey or black makeup you can transform yourself into a road-weary hobo.

• Taste and add extra salt if desired. VARIATIONS: • Herbed seeds: use olive oil and add one tbsp each of dried basil and rosemary. • Spicy seeds: add two tsp of chilli powder and salt. • Curried seeds: add a tbsp of curry and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

How about going regal? With an colourful dress, small hat, and gloves, you could quickly turn into a Queen Elizabeth lookalike. For another retro look, think Dynasty: find a structured dress straight out of the 80s, add some shoulder pads, some sequins in geometric shapes, and put on some stiletto heels. Add a blond wig with square bangs, lots of black eyeliner, and some giant sunglasses, and you’ll be Lady Gaga!

Recipe and photograph: Halloween Treats - Chronicle Books

For a costume with even more originality, get out some old black umbrellas from the back of your closet. With a bit of hot glue and some good scissors, you could make yourself some bat wings to glue on to some old black clothes. With coloured umbrellas, you could even make yourself a mushroom, jellyfish, or extraterrestrial costume.

• Choose small squash or large root vegetables, such as turnips. • Cut off the tops and discard. • Remove all the seeds and hollow out the insides with an ice-cream scoop or a melon baller, until the sides are half a centimetre thick. • Using a felt pen, draw the outline of a face on a vegetable, then cut it out with a serrated knife. Do the same for each lantern. • With a metal skewer, make a small hole towards the top, on both sides of the face. Thread a piece of twine or a leather shoe lace through each hole, cut it to the right length, and knot it on the inside. • Cover the bottom with a small piece of aluminum foil, position a tea candle on the foil, and light it. • Hang the lanterns on a tree branch, a post, or along a clothesline. For an indoor decoration, string them in a garland above the fireplace. Craft project and photograph: Halloween Treats - Chronicle Books

TOGETHER BUILDING A BETTER, STRONGER COMMUNITY

United Way funds vital social programs Community impact begins with identifying the social issues most important to the community and preventing them from happening so fewer individuals and families find themselves in difficulty in the first place Erin Haluschak Record Staff It’s a simple message with the community at the focus: change starts here. The United Way Central & Northern Vancouver Island’s (UWCNVI) mandate is to bring people and resources together to create solutions that impact the community, making it healthier and more vibrant. For new executive director Signy Madden, this means a focus on programs specifically targeting youth, families and seniors, a message she emphasized at the kickoff of their campaign earlier this month. “We’re already funding 11 partner agencies so we need to continue to raise money and continue to fund social programs is the Comox Valley,” she noted. “We all know that the need is huge; antibullying programs, suicide prevention, helping vulnerable seniors, those are the programs our great partner agencies are already funding.” She added their goal is to raise $225,000 in this area alone. Brad Bayly, community development co-ordinator, explained the United Way of today is shifting its focus to place more emphasis on addressing the underlying causes of social problems. “We work to effect long term changes that can be sustained and that make a measurable difference in the community — a difference we can demonstrate,” he explained.

“Community impact begins with identifying the social issues most important to the community. It’s about preventing issues from happening so that fewer individuals and families find themselves in difficulty in the first place.” Their proactive approach appreciates that no one organization can address the root causes by themselves. “There are no single or simple solutions to the issues,” Bayly added. “To address them, requires a concerted and collaborative community effort to ensure that systems, policies and behaviours are aimed at preventing issues and creating solutions for those that exist.” Bayly said the United Way bases its funding decisions upon local impact councils that represent the local community. “These individuals are our specialists that each focus on representing a specific area of social services or issue faced by our community.” The UWCNV has been helping people in the North Island since 1958, and has evolved from a fundraiser to a community development organization which facilitates collaboration and partnerships. The United Way of Canada - Centraide Canada (UWC-CC) began in 1939 during the Great Depression, when the Community Chests and Councils division of the Canadian Welfare Council was formed. The organizations’ mem-

THE COMOX VALLEY Therapeutic Riding Society and Stepping Stones Recovery House for Women Society are two of the many local groups that benefit from United Way funding.

bership later recognized the opportunity to make enduring change by taking a broader approach to social policy and development.

In 1972, an independent corporate structure was established, and in 1975 came a name change to its present title.

UWC-CC is one of a handful of comprehensive community organizations in North America, with the national body representing a

movement of 119 local United Ways - Centraides across the country. Bayly noted the United Way is a unique entity because it focuses on the local community but carries a national knowledge base. “The issues each community faces are quite similar across the country, but each have their own unique struggles and challenges. United Way solves these issues by utilizing the collaboration of local support with a worldwide brand.” Bayly said the United Way’s strength comes from collaboration. “We want to be indispensable when it comes (to that),” he said. “We want to create a stronger community so that they can do things on their own.” Some of the community partners in the Comox Valley include the Boys & Girls Club of Central Vancouver Island, the Canadian Red Cross, Central Island Crisis Society, Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society, Stepping Stones Recovery House for Women Society and Comox Valley Senior Peer Counselling. Bayley added all of the money raised in the Comox Valley stays in the Comox Valley. “United Way is always there; we’re always in the background.” To donate to the UWCNVI, visit www.uwcnvi.ca or call 250-338-1151. Crown Isle is also fundraising for the organization with its 11th annual Winefest on Nov. 3. from 6 to 9 p.m., with ticket proceeds going to the United Way. Tickets are $65 and can be purchased at the front desk or by calling 250703-5000. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com
