Close call with cougar Scott Stanfield Record Staff
LEST WE FORGET This youngster picked up on the sombre mood Sunday in Comox at one of several Remembrance Day ceremonies on a rainy day in the Comox Valley. More photos, page 3. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK
A Fanny Bay woman preparing to drive her children to school Friday morning was unknowingly in the presence of a cougar that was on the driveway at her Leet Lane property. Fortunately, Aga Schultes had started her van early in the cold weather. She normally walks out the door with her three-year-old daughter, who likes to walk the long way around the vehicle and come around the other side. “It was very close,” Schultes said Tuesday. “Usually at that time I drive my little girl to school. Thanks to the frosty weather, I decided to warm up the car before I take my little one and let her into the car. “And I had my dogs with me...If the weather wouldn’t have been so bad, she (daughter) probably would have faced the cougar very close. I don’t know what would have happened then. Scary.” Her dogs are both Gordon setters, one an adult, the other a puppy. The latter jumped on her lap as she was starting the car, but Schultes pushed the animal away. When she lifted her head, she locked eyes with the cougar that was about two metres away. The dogs began barking and the cougar backed off, at which point Schultes ran in the house to phone for assistance. She said the bigger dog sensed the danger and backed away, but the pup
followed the cat. The dog was gone more than three hours but conservation officers found her lost on the railroad tracks near Schultes’ home. “It was the happiest moment in that day when she managed to come

home,” she said. “The small one was thinking she don’t know yet what wildlife means. “It was lucky and unlucky, and it terrified me. I don’t wish that experience to anyone, even my worst enemy. You can’t predict cougars.” On Wednesday, a cougar and two cubs had been
spotted four houses away from Schultes’ home. During their Friday search, she said COs discovered several dead deer, one of which was at the railroad track near her property. “Apparently the dogs picked up the scent but they couldn’t find it. It’s still out here,” said Schultes, who suggests people refrain from walking their dogs on the tracks for the time being. “They (cougars) can be watching you for weeks and know your routine.” Brook Petersen, Schultes’ boss at the Buckley Bay PetroCan, said a cougar was spotted in a couple of yards and in the woods at Fanny Bay on the weekend. “It seems to be doing a route through similar areas,” he said. “Conservation was here for four or five hours that day. They tracked it with dogs but they couldn’t find it.” reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Woman badly hurt Record Staff A woman was airlifted to hospital Sunday following an accident at the McDonald’s drive-thru in Courtenay. Const. Nicole Hall of the Comox Valley RCMP confirmed shortly before 11 a.m., a driver leaned out of her vehicle at the drivethru to pick up money that had fallen when the van she was driving moved forward, and pinned the driver.
“It hasn’t been determined if she had the vehicle in park, but it could be at some point her foot was on the brake pedal, and then her foot released,” said Hall. “That’s what we’re looking into, but it hasn’t been confirmed.” Ambulance services attended immediately, added Hall, as the woman suffered serious head injuries. There’s no word about her condition. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Resort opening nearing Record Staff A small taste of the white stuff in the Comox Valley Sunday meant more on the mountain, and Mount Washington staff — along with snow sport enthusiasts — are keenly watching for more. “We’re in the same boat — any time we see the snow fall in the Valley, you know, obviously it gets everybody excited and we just want the snowfall to come,” says Mount Washington’s Brent Curtain. “And it looks like with the forecast, that it’s going to be happening, so we’re definitely pumped for the start of the season.” Due to winds associated with a storm over the weekend, the mountain received between 10 and 20 centimetres of snow depending which area of the hill is measured, according to Curtain. However, more snow is expected later in the week. “There is a significant system sitting off the coast that’s supposed to be moving in later this week, and right now, the forecast is saying upwards of between 20 and 40 centimetres so it could be quite a significant snowfall event that we see going into the weekend,” explains Curtain, adding things look good for the resort’s projected opening day of Dec. 7. He adds resort staff

Two island schools’ future uncertain Record Staff
The future of Denman and Hornby Islands’ elementary schools is up in the air. According to School District 71’s Long Range Facilities Plan, the schools have small and declining enrolments and one of the district’s 14 recommendations in the report is to “consider alternative educational programming models for Denman Island and Hornby Island schools.” SD71 superintendent Sherry Elwood said there is no list of DENMAN ISLAND COMMUNITY School and Hornby Island School are PHOTO COURTESY SCHOOL DISTRICT 71 what those ‘alterna- being reviewed. tives’ may be right now because the district are projected down tion time in the late needs to explore them the road as Denman spring here.” first, but she said com- Island’s school.

Combined campuses suggested for Cumberland Renee Andor Record Staff
The Comox Valley School District plans to talk to Cumberland community members about creating a combined campus for its elementary and junior secondary schools. The idea is listed as the first recommendation in the district’s Long Range Facilities Plan, which notes space imbalances between the two facilities: “Given the current and projected imbalances between existing facility space with
programs, enrolment, and associated services, at the Cumberland schools, as well as the very close facility proximities, create a combined campus with the potential for appropriate programs, enrolment, and associated services, between the two schools, maintaining an overall kindergarten to Grade 9 configuration.” District superintendent Sherry Elwood adds the idea has been in the hopper for a little while. “It’s something that we’ve talked about a
little bit, and we haven’t gone much further than I think I’m getting permission from the board (Board of Education) to pursue that idea with the community,” says Elwood. “But there is just, for me, a logic around creating a combined campus in Cumberland when you have two buildings that are separated by, I don’t know, a hundred-foot strip of asphalt, who have historically acted independently of each other.” She also points out Cumberland elementary enrolment numbers
continue to rise making space at the school tight. Meanwhile, enrolment numbers at the junior secondary school are not rising and there’s “good solid space” at that school. “My vision of that would be is that that’s a combined campus that works as a combined campus and that there’s a realignment of the resources of the buildings,” says Elwood, adding there would be a combined staff and administration team at the two schools. “There’s just a piece to me, that is so
illogical that one piece of asphalt creates two solitudes both in need of a new way of looking at being. “There’s so much permission in the Ed Plan (BC’s Education Plan) now to do the multi-age groupings, to do things differently; it just makes lots of sense.” For example, she notes a possible idea where elementary aged kids could start their day off learning at the elementary school, but head over to the junior secondary school to use its gym. Although she said any changes likely wouldn’t be implemented by September, she hopes to start the conversation with the
community this year to see what parents think about the combined campus idea. The school district
also plans to talk with the Village of Cumberland about potential uses of the surplus school space.

The Comox Strathcona waste management service’s (CSWM) Pumpkin Smash at the beginning of this month in the Comox Valley and Campbell River, was a resounding success. More than seven tonnes (7,000 kilograms) of pumpkin waste were diverted from going to the landfills in those two locations. All the pumpkins that were smashed at the event were transported to the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) compost facility where the organic matter will be used in the production of SkyRocket, a nutrient-rich soil amendment for lawns and gardens, developed and sold by the regional district. “We have gone from collecting four and a half tonnes in 2011 to collecting the equivalent weight of all the players in four National Hockey League teams,” said Koreen Gurak, CVRD’s manager of communications. “Residents have recognized that composting organic food waste is a simple thing to do to help save valuable space in the landfill and cut the greenhouse gas emissions that would be generated if the pumpkins ended up in the landfill.” Timed to coincide with Halloween, the Pumpkin Smash attracts a larger crowd each time it is held. It was a perfect opportunity for people to learn about composting as a means of waste reduction. The Pumpkin Smash represents the last

As a master baker by trade, de, trained in England, Andy Carter arter joined Thrifty Foods 18 years rs ago in the department he knew new best. It soon became apparent, however, that there were many more opportunities in the community-based grocery company to explore. e. Today, the manager of the downtown Courtenay Thriftyy Foods has worked at many of the Island locations Andy since starting in Victoria Carter close to two decades ago. welcomes Carter also spent time in you to the retail operations and Thrifty Foods as manager of the Tsawwassen ssen in Courtenay store before helping open several everal other Mainland stores, but it’s good to be back the IIsland, k on th l d he says, appreciating the unique location of his store, tucked into the quaint downtown of one of the Island’s most picturesque towns. The store was renovated about eight years ago, providing a more inviting, roomier shopping experience that attracts customers from across the Comox Valley who appreciate Thrifty Foods’ commitment to fresh, quality foods, excellent customer service and community support. While not a huge store – about 23,000 square feet – the Courtenay location offers an excellent selection and the 145 full and part-time staff are pleased to order in virtually anything customers are looking for. That smaller, more intimate feel is just fine for customers. “We get quite a few people who like their little store,” Carter says. “I think they’re comfortable here – it’s the old town feel, the friendly staff and the quality of the service they get here that people really relate to.” The store’s location in the heart of the Valley makes it perfect for locals, but also for visitors who might be picking up supplies before a day on the mountain or out on the water. “Whether you live here or are visiting Mount Washington or some of our other outdoor recreation sites, we would love to see you today,” Carter says, inviting locals and visitors alike to visit the downtown Courtenay Thrifty Foods from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. As a full-service store, in addition to the well-stocked deli, bakery and fresh meat and seafood counters, customers can take advantage of the fresh sushi station made in-store using the finest ingredients, the Vitamins and More department filled with vitamins, supplements and wellness options, plus a large floral department for beautiful fresh flowers. Of course, Thrifty Foods customers who are unable to shop for themselves can also enjoy the benefits of Sendial service. It’s just one of many examples of Thrifty Foods’ commitment to supporting the communities that support them. “We proudly serve the residents and visitors in the Courtenay and Comox area. As an integral part of the community, we remain committed to supporting local events, groups, and organizations.”

Stepping Stones grateful In November 2009, Stepping Stones became a registered society and elected a board of six directors from among its volunteers consisting of local business owners and professionals. Board members meet monthly to decide policy, guide programs and support the administration and management of the society. Grant applications to United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island were made and granted in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the Province of B.C. has provided 2011 and 2012 Community Access Grants. Co-founders Murray and Rita Coulter tirelessly committed their hard work, time, love and care to this work but passed on their leadership roles in February 2010. They established an excellent foundation. Stepping Stones always needs volun-

The Stepping Stones Recovery House for Women Society knows it is vital to maintain the connection to its support community, and expresses deep gratitude as it approaches its fifth anniversary in January. “We continue to accomplish our mandate in a most wonderful and miraculous way, 24 hours a day, seven days each week,� the society says. Stepping Stones Recovery House for Women provides a safe and supportive environment for a maximum of six resident women who have committed to participate in a three-month (up to six months) program. In October 2007, a small group got together because of their common desire to help those who wanted to break free from addiction. After only a few meetings, Stepping Stones Recovery House opened in the Comox Valley. It welcomed the first residents in January 2008. Initially, the recovery centre was housed in a small twobedroom house and relied completely on a small voluntary team of five people. It quickly became clear that this recovery house was providing a much-needed resource in the community. In September 2008, Stepping Stones moved into a six-bedroom house, which remains the current location. The number of support volunteers/staff workers has grown to 22 people at times and decreased to 12 at others, (of this number, two central workers are paid a minimal remuneration for their time).

Youth have the power Students at Isfeld and Vanier secondary schools recently each received a $2,400 and a $1,500 conservation grant respectively from BC Hydro for their commitment to advancing sustainability at their school. The students are a part of BC Hydro’s Energy Ambassador’s team and look for ways to help their school community use energy wisely and build a culture of sustainability. Isfeld Secondary applied for a grant to install daylight sensors in the school’s front foyer while implementing vending machine misers. The team at Vanier Secondary are recycling two inefficienct fridges and replacing them with an Energy Star fridge. When asked about her motivations in becoming an Energy Ambassador, Mark Isfeld Secondary student Kayla Swing stated, “Our club participated last year and found it a great way to get new ideas for creating an environmentally friendly school.� “These students are energy conservation leaders in their communities,� said Rich Coleman, Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas. “I commend them for making a tangible diference at
their schools and setting a great example for the rest of us to follow.� • BC Hydro’s Energy Ambassadors school program is an awareness and leadership program helping school communities use energy wisely while building a culture of sustainability. • The Energy Ambassadors can apply for
conservation grants for their projects. To be eligible, the school teams must complete an energy audit of their school and a survey of teachers and students about their energy consumption. For more information or to register your school, visit www. bchydro.com/firstwave. — BC Hydro

Benefit to help Ursula
A CD RELEASE party for Brodie Dawson will happen at the Waverley Hotel on Nov. 16 at 9:30 p.m.
Brodie releasing first CD Her voice jumps out at you … she makes a clear, direct hit and seduces you with a bit of smoky overtone. Brodie Dawson was born in Hamilton, Ont., and grew up at first unaware of the magnitude of those musical seeds developing within her. Her father Brent Dawson a successful soul-blues musician, helping to form the grassroots core of the Hamilton music scene, pals with players such as Richard Newell aka King Biscuit Boy, Lance Kiernan, and Danny Lockwood. Being immersed in a life of music, Brodie began to absorb this incredible energy that would soon be transformed into her own magical style. It was at age 19 that she began migrating west and with this, embarked on what would be a well-travelled journey of searching and finding her way. Her musical voyage has come full circle, beginning on Vancouver Island in 2000 where she opened for Juno award winner Ray Bonneville, venturing to Montreal to perform and begin record-
ing and performing in clubs, migrating up to Yellowknife for two years to warm the north, and eventually back to the Comox Valley where she now fondly calls Cumberland home. Brodie calls her style a mix of soulful ‘folky’ blues with a gospel flair, a twist of pop and a twang of old-school country. True to all those genres she sings of life, love, searching and finding your way. Her long-awaited debut CD The Lost Tapes (recorded 11 years ago in Montreal, put on the back burner during her adventurous ride in life, and actually did get lost!) has been ‘found’ and finally mastered and released this summer!

Gardeners Green Folk Club in Merville will have a special house concert Nov. 17, a fundraiser for the family of 18-month-old Ursula Joy, who is in BC Children’s Hospital. Folk club organizer Summer Joy’s little granddaughter, who normally resides on Hornby Island with her family, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. She underwent a long and traumatic surgery, which has left her with serious complications, and she will be in hospital for many months to come. This benefit evening is to help her family with the many expenses they have already incurred, and which will continue to mount up as her treatment and care extends into the future. The performer for the evening is Mervillite Kel Kelly, who has graciously offered to donate all the ticket money to the cause, and it seems very appropriate that the theme of his material for this concert will be heartache. Some of you know Kel as a political and environmental activist and a man of many talents, but perhaps some of you did not know he is also an excellent singer and songwriter. For the last several years he has spent many hours locked away in his small music room, turning his head and heart to music. Yes, we will have plenty of tissues at the ready, but Kel is quick to point out that there will be lots of uplifting material as well. “These songs have been a lifetime in the making, and they decided it’s time to come out now. Heartache focuses on all the things, bitter and sweet, painful and joyful, that bring a pounding to the heart. I’ve realized that the heart responds to melancholy, longing and loss with the same intensity that it

responds to ecstasy, fulfillment and victory. It’s all part of the package and it all needs to be expressed and honoured. “I’m honoured to be able to share these songs as a community prayer for baby Ursula and her family. I hope people will come with their hearts and wallets open. Together we can at least help ease the financial burden that this young family is facing.” Besides providing a night of excellent musical entertainment, the club has come up with some really fun ways of raising more money during the evening. There will be a super duper raffle, with many more
and better prizes than usual, and enough of them so that many raffle ticket buyers can go home with a nice reward. There will also be a short auction of a few fabulous and unique items, including a tea party in the spring in Kel’s treehouse, which is an amazing 70 feet up in a tree in his garden, affording a spectacular view. Also, well-known West Coast painter Mark Hobson (www.markhobson.com) is donating two prints. As usual, there will be a large spread of desserts and finger food served along with tea and coffee during the break, all included in the ticket price of $20. Tickets must be reserved by ringing 250-337-5337. If anyone who can’t make it to the concert would like to donate any amount, no matter how small, to Ursula’s family, you can do so by going to any Coastal Community Credit Union branch and donating to the Ursula Joy Trust Fund. — Gardeners Green Folk Club

‘Outside’ artist showing her work at Art Alchemy After numerous successful shows by its five core members, Art Alchemy, the artist-run studio-gallery, celebrates its first year of activity with work from outside their regular core group. Former Vancouverite Martha Jablonski-Jones will show a collection of urban landscapes done over the past few years. “We wanted to broaden public awareness of the gallery by inviting outside artists,” said painter Jennifer Weber, one of the five members of Art Alchemy. “It also gives other artists an opportunity to show in this venue.” “Our first opening to the public was Nov. 25, 2011,” says glass artist Stacey Wright. “Since then we’ve created an artist-in-residence program with three emerging artists working in the studio. “We’re growing our classroom programming to include a variety of work-

You can only live by the docks and the noise and the exhaust for so long. “But I’ve had to search for the spirit that moves me when it comes to painting outside a big city.” She thinks she’s found it, and has added a couple of new Courtenay pieces to her urban collection. “It’s not about a perfect picturesque scene. It’s always something really ordinary, just around the back, that somehow catches your attention.” The show runs Nov. 16 to Dec. 1. Gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday from noon to 4.

Martha is inspired by the city, the rich textures of weathered brick, the wear and tear of age and human occupation. Industrial areas also provide an abundant source of colour, structure, and the gradual decay that suggests a complex human past. “It’s taken me awhile to

View clash of civilizations Join North Island College’s Global Learning Initiative and North Island College International for a screening of Crossing Borders at the Stan Hagen Theatre on NIC’s Comox Valley campus on Nov. 15. Crossing Borders is a documentary that follows four American and four Moroccan university students as they travel together through Morocco. The film follows their process of discovering “the other” which indirectly leads them to discovering themselves. Through discussion, students confront the supposed “clash of civilizations” between Islam and the West. “The film is a crosscultural tool that is designed to empower viewers by: heightening awareness of hidden preconceptions; supporting the development of intercultural empathy and critical thinking skills; and initiating dialogue between different cultures,” writes director Arnd Wächters. Following the screening, there will be a student-led discussion.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. This event is open to the community and donations to the NIC Global Learning Initiative will be gratefully accepted.

Deja Blue was originally formed on the spur of the moment in 2005 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico by Bill Street. Bill had previously ventured south with Mo Davenport to avoid Comox Valley’s liquid sunshine. One sunny morning the guys met up with a local promoter and were offered a six night a week gig at the Blue Martini Bar. When Bill was asked the question, “What is the name of the band?” he immediately responded “Deja Blue.” The name just flashed through his mind at that moment! Bill says that playing nightly in the Blue Martini was good for tightening the band up, especially after gruelling days on the beach, and many shots of whathaveyou. Deja Blue has played in Mexico almost every year since then. This Thursday will once again see the band that played in Mexico in the 2010/11 season: Ralph Barrat on keyboard and vocals; Don MacKay on bass and Bill Street on drums. As well, the band is pleased to feature guest trumpet player Jake Masri, who adds to the band’s prowess as it performs great music along the theme for the evening: A Trib-
ute to Chet Baker. Bill is especially fond of all the work that was done by Chet Baker, who spent much of his career in Europe until his death in Amsterdam a few years ago. Ralph will feature some wonderful Chet vocals with Jake reminding us all of Chet’s great trumpet sound. To find out just how smooth and polished these fine musicians

WinterFest starts this weekend
MIRACLE BEACH ELEMENTARY students served dessert with a turkey lunch that raised money for You Are Not Alone.
Turkey lunch a miracle Early in October the kindergarten and K/1 classes at Miracle Beach Elementary School hosted a Thanksgiving Charity Lunch for 100 people, in support of YANA (You Are Not Alone). The children and guests feasted on roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, carrots, mixed vegetables, gravy, pumpkin tarts and whipped cream. Local businesses and parents donated all the food, plates and cutlery. The children and their teachers, Michelle Honeysett, Jacquie Anderson, and Jan Maund, spent the previous three weeks planning and preparing for this event with a huge amount of parental support. Plans began in class with brainstorming and discussions about how people, even those as young as four five and six can do something to show their thankfulness and help others. It was decided that they could give of their time and hard work and learning. The classes chose YANA, our local sick children’s charity, as the recipient of their generosity, because it was a way to help other kids. Together, the children and teachers in aid of YANA made shopping lists after studying the flyers. They made guest lists, invitations, placemats, tablecloths, and chef hats. Parents came in

to guide the children through the preparation of the food. They made sure that everyone had a turn at peeling, chopping, mashing and stirring. They even made homemade stuffing using bread they had made in class. The lunch was served in two sittings. First came the staff, who were welcomed and ably assisted and served by the K/1 “chefs” (and a wonderful team of smiling mums). The second sitting was for the K/1s themselves to enjoy the fruits of their labours with a guest from home — some moms, dads, grandmas, aunties, neighbours and friends. The children entertained both sets of guests with some singing. The grand sum of $600 was raised from guests and well– wishers. The classes are looking forward to presenting this huge amount of money to a YANA representative soon. The children and teachers would like to thank the following people for helping them give — Thrifty Foods, Safeway, Quality Foods Comox and Courtenay, Superstore, Extra Foods, Stonecroft Farm, Turnbull Cranberry Farm, Siefferts, Discovery Foods Oyster River, Courtenay Country Market, the Emery family, parents and staff and student helpers and guests. — Miracle Beach Elementary School

Freestyle ski club ready and raring to hit the slopes The snow is on its way and it is time to think about freestyle skiing. There is a lot of behindthe-scenes work going on to make the upcoming season exciting and fun for everyone, a Mt. Washington Freestyle Ski Club spokesperson said. This past season was awesome with a ton of snow and a very successful BC Champs on Mount Washington. Remember all that snow? The course was obliterated by a massive dump of snow just before this major event and a ton of volunteers along with Mount Washington put it back together in record time. “That is what freestyle is all about and Mount Washington is the place to do it. Our mandate is to have fun and lots of it,” the MWFC spokesperson said. The MWFC is Vancouver Island’s only ski program focusing on moguls, slopestyle and big mountain skills. In a team environment kids will learn; turn carving, jumping, rails and

The club offers programs such as Competitive, Development, Slopestyle and beginning Freestyle Bumps

“Certified training in all freestyle disciplines will give skiers a well-rounded set of skills. Our pro-
grams provide each skier with the necessary skills, (physical, mental and technical) to achieve their goals and dreams. Want to challenge yourself to a competition or two? We provide opportunities for freestyle skiers to experience various levels of competition on Mount Washington and other mountains,” stated the spokesperson. MWFC is putting on a Christmas camp for new and returning freestyle skiers on Dec. 27-28. It is an affordable and fun activity to get a good start to the season. Early registration/gear swap for new and returning skiers is set for Nov. 17 at the Comox Valley Sports Centre from 12 to 2 p.m. Keep checking the calendar on the club website, www.mwfc.ca, to stay up to date with activities and events.

Bad third period costs Glacier Kings against Bucs Earle Couper Record Staff
The Comox Valley Glacier Kings stepped off their team bus and onto a roller coaster Nov. 8 when they travelled to Nanaimo to take on the Buccaneers. It was a game of ups and downs for the Icemen, who were down 1-0 after one period and up 3-1 after two before ultimately falling 5-3. It was the second
straight loss for the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League North Division leaders, who also played Westshore Wolves on Nov. 9 and Campbell River Storm on Nov. 11. Due to advanced Remembrance Day weekend deadlines, results of those two games were unavailable at press time.

Rookie Calvin Hadley’s third goal of the year pulled the Yetis even at 2:20 of the second, and 29 seconds later Mitch Ball’s 13th put the visitors up 2-1. Jordan Crisp beat former Glacier King goalie Cameron Large for his second
of the year to put Comox Valley up 3-1 at the 15:57 mark. But Large was unbeatable the rest of the way, kicking out eight shots in the third period while the Bucs got to Round for three goals in a seven-minute span in the final frame then added an empty net-
ter to seal the deal. Daniel Foglietta cut the lead to 3-2 at 6:33, Corey Renwick’s power-play goal at 9:09 pulled Nanaimo even, then Johnathan Speer potted the winner at 13:21. With just two clicks left on the clock, game first star Renwick had 24 square feet of untended net to deposit his second goal of the game into. Nanaimo outshot Comox Valley 32-27 and went 1-for3 with the man advantage
while the Glacier Kings went 0-for-4. The Yetis’ busy November schedule continues this week with three games in three days. They are at Peninsula to face the Panthers on Nov. 16, host Kerry Park Islanders (7:30 p.m. Sports Centre #1) on Nov. 17 and visit South Division leading Victoria Cougars on Nov. 18.

New schoolhouse on the mountain Podium of Life Ski Academy has secured a new location for its school on Mount Washington. The building that used to be the Sushi Mong restaurant will now be the schoolhouse for Podium of Life. “It is conveniently located at the bottom of the Hawk chair, so kids can ski or board downhill to class daily,” said spokesperson Shane Harle. “Over the past two seasons classes were held at the main lodge, where students had to take a chair lift or walk up to class daily from their condos. Now they can click into their bindings and ski downhill. It is also located close to the Vancouver Island Mountain Centre where students can have access to the weight training facilities,” Harle said. “It will be nice to have a place to call our own,” said Harle, who

Craft activities make the season bright (NC)— Kids are quickly occupied, often for hours, if you supply them with the tools for arts and crafts. Take a look at some tried-andtrue ideas: Holiday garland: These colourful paper chains are fun for kids to make and they look great around the house. All you need is good quality construction paper, tape, scissors, holiday stickers, glitter, and markers. The instructions here are courtesy of Scotch Magic Tape: First, cut multiple strips of construction paper (2 cm wide by 11 cm long), then decorate and tape the ends of one strip together to create a circle. Feed another strip through the circle and tape it closed to create interlocking circles. Continue making and taping interlocking strips until your garland is the desired length. The Scotch precision scissors are also recommended. Be a master of disguise: Sometimes the simplest ideas are the
best. Place a piece of clear tape on the table, draw a funny moustache on it, stick it on your face, and wait for the giggling to start. Your kids will quickly want to take their turn drawing Santa beards, reindeer noses, bushy elf eyebrows, or whatever else they can dream up. Make gift wrapping fun: Let gift-wrapping be a fun activity not a holiday chore. If your child is learning a musical instrument, use sheet music to wrap the gifts. For kids with a sweet tooth, try wrapping presents with candy. All you need is plain red paper, large size bubble wrap, round peppermint candies, scissors and tape. Get your child’s motor running: Turn any wall,
Set up a giving-jar in your home to help others (NC)—Families can change the world this holiday season, one coin at a time. By setting up a giving-jar at a central location in the house, all your spare change will add up to help an important cause. This trend has been around for a while, but in recent years it has become increasingly popular with families across Canada. Choosing a cause There are many charities and organizations that need help at this time of year. A family can decide on a cause together, perhaps a charity that is close to its heart and means something special. For ideas, take a look at World Vision Gifts online at www.worldvision.ca/ gifts. The organization has many practical options that provide relief for children in developing countries— and each one offers long-term, sustainable change. The givingjar can be decorated in many creative ways and is even more fun and meaningful if it reflects the cause being
supported. Feed the jar The second step is remembering to add to the jar when possible; even if it is just the spare change left in a pocket or change purse. Small children can add a portion of their allowance, coins they find on the sidewalk, or change that might be hiding under couch cushions. Every penny adds up to make a difference to someone’s life. Making a difference Some parents who have long embraced an annual giving-jar are seeing the effects of teaching generosity to their children. The parents of Erin Farrar, 23, started a giving-jar tradition when she was younger. “During the holidays my family likes to feel that we’re doing more than just splurging on each other, especially if we can make a real difference in someone’s life,” says Farrar. She has since become an active volunteer, and is currently working in the non-profit sector

FIVE HOSTING TIPS
How to create the perfect cheese platter
FOR THE HOLIDAYS mend stressful wardrobe malfunctions such a last minute strap-break or hem drop. Need to be pictureperfect? Memories don’t always last a lifetime, but pictures sure do. Use double-sided tape to guard against the
embarrassment of a loose bra strap in a holiday photo. Do you have your own hosting solutions to share? Pass them along and see others on the 3M Scotch Tape Facebook Page at https://www. facebook.com/scotch/
GLACIER VIEW LODGE
(NC)—A creative cheese plate is a crowdpleaser during the holidays and better still, it is simple to prepare and it doesn’t take up any space in your oven. These steps will help you create the perfect cheese platter to surprise your guests with tempting varieties and new taste experiences: Get creative with the platter. A party plate is fine, but you might also use a wooden board, a slab of marble, or a piece of slate. Choose a variety of cheeses including a soft-ripened cheese, or ‘bloomy rinds’ as they’re also known. Then, add a semi-soft cheese, like gouda or havarti. You’ll
also need hard/firm cheeses like manchego or pecorino. And for more tangy option add a goat’s milk cheese. Round out the spectrum of flavours with a washed rind cheese and a blue cheese. Get your quantities right. For a party platter, appetizer or dessert cheese plate, serve a small crowd 3 to 5 types of cheese and 5 to 10 types for a larger crowd. Calculate for approximately 30 to 40g of each cheese per person. To ensure variety, try mini versions of some crowd-pleasing favourites, such as the new PC Mini Brie Hors D’oeuvres and enhance
with toppers, such as red pepper jelly, pesto or sliced peaches. Don’t forget the accompaniments. Fruits like fig, pear and apple are always enjoyable, but dried fruits work well too. Add unsalted roasted nuts and fresh bread and complete your platter with honey, fruit compotes and pickled vegetables. Serve with care. Always prepare your platter in advance, lay out appropriate knives and let your cheese sit at room temperature for at least one hour before serving. More recipe ideas are available online at pc.ca.
Spray your way to a festive holiday centrepiece (NC)— If you think a dazzling holiday centrepiece has to cost a lot, think again. You can easily make your holiday tables sparkle this season with a few simple and inexpensive spray paint projects, like these from Krylon, a leader in this field: Wine and Dine Lights Create an ambient glow with leftover libations. All you’ll need is a few wine bottles (empty, cleaned, and with the labels removed), plus Krylon Frosted Glass Finish and Easy Tack Repositionable Adhesive spray, a string of holiday lights, holidaythemed stencils, and masking tape. To start, simply spray the back of the stencils with Easy Tack and adhere to each of the bottles. Then spray the bottles with the Frosted Glass Finish according to manufacturer’s instructions. When dry, remove the stencils. Next, feed the lights into each bottle allowing enough cord to reach all of the bottles and reach an electrical outlet. Plug
in and voila. Shimmery Votives and Vases Everyone has an assortment of plain, glass jars, votives or glasses around their home. So why not turn these misfits into a masterpiece? All you’ll need are rubber bands in varied thicknesses, votive candles for each piece and Krylon Premium Metallic spray paint in your favourite metallic finish. To start, clean and dry each glass piece. Next, place the rubber bands in unique patterns around the outside of the glasses – being sure not to overlap them. Spray the outside of each piece with the metallic spray paint, according to
the manufacturer’s instructions. Once dry, carefully remove the rubber bands, add the votive candle to each and arrange in the centre of your table. For added flair, paint a matching or coordinating platter to hold the jars – or even tie satin ribbons around each glass piece. Soon you’ll have a festive holiday table that you can feel proud that you did it yourself. More project ideas can be found online at www. krylon.ca.
20th
(NC)— The holidays are a great time for getting together with family and friends, but hosting a lot of people can be both stressful and time consuming. If you feel under fire this holiday season, you may be surprised to learn just how many things you can get done using a roll of Scotch Magic Tape. It’s a staple for gift-wrapping, but when it comes to hosting, here is some creative thinking, courtesy of 3M: Need to decorate in a pinch? Rather than cluttering up table or mantle space, try taping the holiday cards you receive to your wall in fun, stylistic patterns. You can also use tape to add lastminute family photos around the house before gatherings that are sure to evoke hearty laughs around the dinner table. Can’t get to the salon? Give yourself an at-
home manicure. To begin, paint your nails a solid colour and let them dry completely. Cut pieces of tape into strips and gently press the strips onto your nails, using a separate colour to paint over each one. Slowly peel the tape off, and voila. What about lastminute makeup? Tape is great for picking up the fallouts of eye shadows, pigments, smearing of eyeliner, mascara and more. Just make a circle with the tape (sticky side facing out) around your finger, then press against the makeup fallout, and watch makeup smears disappear. No clue what to wear? As the host of the party, you’ll want to look your best. Flaunt new outfits before taking them to the tailor by using double-sided tape to shorten the length of pants, skirts or dresses. Also, keep tape handy to

Jack and Mae retired to the wonderful Comox Valley in 1984. It was here, that Jack pursued his love of tennis, golf, skiing, biking and playing guitar with the “Heart Strings�. Jack is survived by his loving wife Mae, sons Ian (Patti) and Doug (Noreen), granddaughters Courtney (Jeff), Jessica, Kelly and his precious great-granddaughter Peyton. We would like to extend a special thanks to the staff of Cumberland Lodge, who took care of Jack for two years with grace and dignity. A Celebration of Life for Jack was held at Stevenson Place on November 8th, 2012.

In the market for a job? Check out The Job Shop Earle Couper Record Staff
Finding a job is seldom easy. But you can get a great start by contacting The Job Shop. Located at 103-555 4th St. in Courtenay, The Job Shop provides free assistance to job-seekers in the Comox Valley. Drop by the office and the friendly staff will provide job search tips, help with resumes, cover letters and interviews, and prepare you to do your best in a competitive job market. Michael Gough, a client who was recently using The Job Shop’s computers to look for work, said the organization is very helpful. “They provide really good programs and workshops and help you with the computer skills you need to do a job search. Everything is done by computer today,” he noted. The Job Shop delivers the Employment Program of British Columbia, which is the provincial government’s online source for labour market informaton. Clicking on www.workbc.ca will open up a wealth of information on jobs, career exploration, education and training and workplace resources. The Job Shop provides a
resource library with extensive labour market information, career advisers, workshops, and other services. “Our goal is to help you become an effective, independent job seeker,” The Job Shop notes on its website (thejobshop.ca). There is no fee to become a client, but those eligible must be: • unemployed, or working less than 20 hours per week or in receipt of a layoff notice • actively looking for work, and ready to accept a job immediately • looking for on-going employment – not a student returning to school • legally entitled to work in Canada. Becoming a client is as easy as calling 250-3343119 or dropping in to book an Orientation Workshop. The workshops are offered twice a week. “After hearing about the services available, you can book your individual appointment with a career adviser,” The Job Shop notes. “At that time, the two of you will assess your job search needs and decide which services and programs would work best for you.” Those who already have a resume are asked to bring it to their intake appointment.
MICHAEL GOUGH CHECKS out the job market in the resource room at The Job Shop in Courtenay. PHOTO BY EARLE COUPER Services for all job-seekers include: • Job postings. The help wanted sections from local newspapers are posted and local employers call The Job Shop to post jobs. • Faxing of job search
documents. The Job Shop will fax up to five resumes a day to employers. • Career resource centre with a large selection of books, newspapers, newsletters to assist with your job search and help you
gather labour market information. A career adviser is on hand for quick consultations. • Computer use. Computers are available for conducting career research, applying for jobs on-line,
and word processing job search documents. • Long distance calls. If you’re applying for work out of town you can make up to five long distance calls a day. • Message service. If you are temporarily without a phone, The Job Shop can provide you with a message number to include on resumes. Additional services for registered clients include personal assistance from a career adviser.

HEIDI AND ALEX are sharing gluten-free recipes.
Recipes are gluten-free Perhaps you have made or been forced to make the choice to limit or delete gluten from your diet. What do you eat now, you ask? Open Sweet Surprise Gluten-free Baking and find out!! If you are living gluten-free and live here in the Comox Valley it’s likely that you’ve already heard about or visited the Sweet Surprise Gluten-free baking stand at the Farmers’ Market. For the past two and a half years, Heidi and Alex have been testing recipes on an
ever-growing number of enthusiastic customers. In their words “the best part of having the business is reaching out to those who haven’t had focaccia in years or tasted a gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and soy-free carrot cake that you could serve to anyone without them even suspecting.” After repeated requests the ladies decided to share the secrets in their very own cookbook with Nikki’s photographic help. Easy-to-follow recipes ranging from delicious
Spirit Doctors shown Comox United Church and the Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship will host the National Film Board film Spirit Doctors this Friday. It tells the story of a First Nations couple in B.C.’s Similkameen Valley who work as traditional healers, using practices that keep them accountable to the spirit world, their people and Mother Earth. Aware of the ethical dilemma posed by showing sacred rituals, the film was made by an all First Nations NFB team, which follows protocols and restrictions from the healers whose story was being told. A number of First Nations Elders are also shown discussing the wisdom of showing rituals on video balanced against the lack of knowledge about healing traditions. After the film, there will be a small group discussion around the ethical and spiritual issues raised by the film. No answers will be provided, but there should be some good questions. The presentation
will be at 7 p.m. at Comox United Church, 250 Beach Drive in Comox. Admission is by donation. — Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship
breakfast items like waffles and pancakes to breads that actually taste and feel like bread, as well as cookies, bars and scrumptious cakes so good no one will even know the results are gluten and usually dairy-free. The cookbook will be available at the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 9 to noon at the Native Son’s Hall as well as the Laughing Oyster in Courtenay, Blue Heron in Comox, Healthyway Natural Foods Market and Coho Books in Campbell River and Willow Market in Willow Point as well as bookstores and health food stores on the south island.

The ďŹ rst question I ask about toppers is “what do you want it to do, and does your mattress sag?â€? If your mattress is sagging forget it, anything you put on top of it will probably make it worse. If the mattress is just too hard then there are lots of topper options, memory foam is only one of them and has a feel that is much different than other toppers, it feels much like sleeping on warm bread dough. With any topper make sure that it’s made in North America, and more importantly that it’s never been crushed into a box or rolled up too tight. That destroys the foam cells.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Wednesday, November 14, 2012
New Crown corporation formed The Comox Valley and BC Chambers of Commerce welcomed the announcement from Premier Christy Clark that a new industryled, legislature-funded Crown corporation named Destination BC has been created, and will work directly with the tourism sector to market B.C. as a tourism destination. “This is good news for the entire province and is a huge win for the tourism sector in particular,” says Comox Valley Chamber president/CEO Dianne Hawkins. “The really good news, however, is that Destination BC marketing will directly benefit not only tourism-related businesses, but entire communities.” “Destination BC will ensure that the marketing of B.C.’s tourism sector will be led by
tourism professionals in the private sector, in combination with protected funding from the B.C. Legislature,” adds John Winter, president/ CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. “The funding model and sector-based leadership of this new Crown corporation flow directly from a policy created by the BC Chamber of Commerce and is a direct policy success for the Chamber of Commerce network in B.C.” Chamber representatives from across the province, including the Comox Valley, met in Penticton last May and, among other provincial guiding principles, drafted a policy specifically related to tourism: Predictability for Provincial and Regional Marketing Destinations. This document contained several recommenda-
Studiopolis offers a hip alternative Co-working office space, a trendy office innovation perfect for today’s economy, is available to Comox Valley professionals. “Co-working office space is ideal for individual consultants who have a tendency to work from home,” said Jim Matthew, who rents affordable workstation spaces on a monthly basis at Studiopolis near Tin Town. “It gives you a professional office front, a place to inspire you to work and a shared boardroom for client meetings.” The co-working environment concept, which has proven popular in urban centres like Vancouver, allows independent professionals to work in a professional environment without the costly overhead of
standalone office space. Walking into Studiopolis for the first time, you’d be excused if you felt like you’d stepped into the lobby of some hip, Silicon Valley tech firm. The open concept, loft-style layout and minimalist design were purposefully chosen to inspire, impress and encourage collaboration. Tenants of Studiopolis, which include two designers, two engineers, a copywriter and a PR consultant, share things, meeting rooms, WiFi and a kitchen. Each provides their own workspace furnishings and supplies. Studiopolis is located at 217-2459 Cousins Ave. across from Tin Town. Contact Matthew at 250-792-3335 or studiopolis217@gmail.com.
Accurate
tions that have been implemented in Destination BC, such as: set funding for a provincial destination marketing organization; performance-based formula through legislation; and ensuring that the executive leadership of the organization be comprised of a majority of independent tourism professionals. “The new Destination BC marketing network will now consist of the Provincial Destination Marketing Organizations, as well as six Regional Destination Marketing Organizations and 37 Community Destination Marketing Organizations,” Hawkins said. “They will work col-
laboratively to develop progressive marketing strategies backed with adequate and stable funding as a basic necessity for the health and growth of the tourism industry.” “The B.C. government and the tourism sector should be commended for working together to create a model that will move the industry forward,” Winter said. The local chamber is among the 10 largest chambers in B.C. and the third largest on Vancouver Island. The BC Chamber is the largest and most broadly based business organization in the province. — Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce

Recycling revival required Let’s be clear, the decision to remove public recycling bins was made by the owners of the properties where the bins were located, not by any level of government. This year alone, bins were removed from Driftwood Mall and Glacier Gardens. Property owners deserve thanks for allowing the bins to be stored on their properties for as long as they were. However, the decision to remove them — spurred by ignorant or uncaring people who treated the bins as convenient mini garbage dumps — has certainly lessened recycling in the Valley. Somewhere between dedicated recyclers and wanton litterers is a majority of people who want to do the right thing. And they will — if it’s convenient enough to be part of their lifestyle without too much time or effort. Municipal curbside recycling programs in Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland sure help. The City, Town and Village even remove yard waste. The frequency can be a problem, especially since the bins have vanished from malls. It’s more difficult to frequent them between curbside visits to homes. There is only so much you can get into those blue boxes, and you can’t recycle glass in them. According to Comox Strathcona Waste Management, bins remain at Home Depot and Courtenay Country Market in Courtenay, BFI Canada in Cumberland and the Old Oyster River Fire Hall. As the big green bins vanish from high-visibility, parking-friendly locations, recyclable material will increasingly go to the landfill. That is part of an even bigger problem, because landfills in Campbell River and Cumberland (Pidgeon Lake) are close to filling up. The Comox Valley Regional District’s preferred option is to expand the Cumberland facility. The cost is estimated to exceed $175 million over 30 years — and the Village of Cumberland opposes the expansion plan within its borders. Recycling is not a miracle solution to overflowing landfills or political wrangling, but it would help if it were more convenient. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Injustice to property owners Dear editor, I would like to thank Comox Valley Regional District Area A director Bruce Jolliffe for speaking out about the imposition of minimum rural lot sizes within the designated “settlement expansion areas” around the Comox Valley. This will affect many property owners who, like myself, purchased their property with the understanding they could either subdivide if necessary to supplement their retirement income or pass as an inheritance to their children or grandchildren. I think that most of us affected are not developers with huge properties to be developed into
multi-residential lots. Most I believe, again like myself, have small acreages that could be subdivided into only two to four lots. Keep in mind that most owners might not subdivide unless they felt it necessary. We heard at the last public meeting that one of the reasons for this plan was to prevent residential development in rural areas until they are taken into municipal jurisdiction and able to provide water, sewer, etc. When would this happen? I don’t believe in my lifetime. I implore the regional district board to seriously rethink this injustice to property owners or consider a grandfather clause.
It would permit those landowners who had purchased their property prior to, for example, December 2012, to be permitted to still subdivide at any time in the future. Any property purchased after December 2012 would be purchased with the knowledge up front that they would not be permitted to subdivide less than the minimum lot size in the SEAs. Once again, thank you Mr. Jolliffe for understanding the property owners’ financial concerns and ramifications for their future and their children’s future. Gail Eggiman, Courtenay
Regional hospital is still needed Dear editor, The new hospital is going to be built and that is a good thing. The site is not great, the access to the new highway is dismal, but that is not the main concern. We were supposed to have a regional hospital in the Comox Valley. The spin doctors of VIHA came to us, physicians, and said, “Yes, your community is growing and you qualify for a regional hospital serving the whole North Vancouver Island.” The term “regional hospital” has evaporated. The original number of hospital beds will be reduced. There will be a smaller number of ICLJ/CCU beds than in St Joseph’s Hospital. There will be a smaller number of ALC beds for patients waiting for the beds in long-term care facilities. Without new long-term care facilities built in the Comox Valley, the new hospital will be overrun by patients waiting for placement. Unless there is enough operating room time for a minimum of five general surgeons, there will still be a shared call between Comox Valley and
Campbell River. Unless these points are addressed, our beautiful new facility will be as crippled in its
ability to deliver care as our good old St. Joseph’s Hospital. Dr. J.J. Simice, Comox
Recycling rant not needed Dear editor, Re: We need to rant about state of recycling in Comox Valley (Record, Nov. 9). There’s no need to rant, but to recognize that most Town of Comox residents enjoy the benefits of a bi-weekly curbside ‘blue box’ recycling pickup service. It is indeed unfortunate that rural residents outside the Town currently don’t have centrally located recycling bins; however, the regional district is working
on an alternate solution that will address these concerns in a publicly controlled and/or managed facility that will serve the needs of all Comox Valley residents. Waste reduction and diversion efforts will see the Town and regional district initiate an organics waste collection service early in 2013, as part of an ongoing process to achieve 70 per cent diversion from our landfill site.

Our vets being screwed Dear editor, It seems our longest war, Afghanistan, is over, but the battles have just begun for some of our wounded veterans who are suing the federal government. Who would have thought that running the risks of the roads of Afghanistan would seem smooth in contrast to the bumps of life back in Canada? The new Veterans Charter is a sham. This legislation was all about cutting down on the costs of veteran compensation, just as our men and women were losing arms and legs at increasing rates in Afghanistan, in defence of our nation. I know this is supposed to be
a time of remembrance, when nations hold their past military exploits with reverence, a time to reflect upon the sacrifices our soldiers have rendered. That’s great, but cenotaphs and wreaths notwithstanding, let’s celebrate our vets and put our money where our mouths are; let’s give pensions to our military vets. Louis XIV’s minister Colbert had it right in the 17th century — wounded veterans deserved a pension for life, but it wasn’t to be so. The fact that today’s veterans are being screwed is only an indication of how little has changed since then. Steve W. Hodge, Comox

Public is watching licensing Dear editor, Re: Applications for licences of occupation for sea cucumber ranches. We, the public, must be diligent in protecting the health of our Baynes Sound shores and waters from compromise and degradation due to the pressure of profit. A long-range plan clearly setting aside areas absolutely protected for recreation, untampered by industry, is essential for this Valley. May our elected decision-makers and their staff act with care, diligence, vision, and integrity when evaluating these two applications for licences of (massive) occupation of our coastal waters. Enough is enough! Please place these areas of Baynes Sound yet unlicensed to industry in the hands of the public to preserve in beauty, balance, and health for this and future generations of the Comox Valley. The public IS watching this carefully! Eleanor Riddell, Comox Valley

or-Treaters who caused damage to people’s property this past Halloween. Should you ever grow up and become homeowners, I hope the same thing happens to you! OUR VALLEY HAS gained two new restaurants over the past few months, both of which I have recently tried and enjoyed. As both a Valley booster and a foodie, I like to see places that make that extra effort to provide both a good product and good service survive and thrive. I tried Mar’s on Main in Cumberland for
breakfast earlier this week. The cook had slept in but because I was in a hurry, Mar took to the kitchen and made me a good breakfast. A friend and I went there for lunch later in the week and it was good, too. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. and does dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, with limited but well-priced options. Apparently there is ‘music to dine by’ on Saturday nights. A second good place to eat, the Comox Eatery, opened this past week on Comox Avenue across from Simon’s
41
Cycles. It’s open Tuesday through Saturday for breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee. Breakfast was amazingly inexpensive ($6 for a regular breakfast) and very good as well. I tried lunch on another day and was impressed with the burger and fresh-cut fries. Like Mar’s, I understand that they are using locally produced items.

The value of putting life into mortgage insurance If you’re arranging a new mortgage or moving an existing one to a new lending institution, you will probably be offered mortgage insurance as part of the package. Protecting what is likely the largest investment you will ever make is always the right choice, but is the lender’s insurance offer the best choice for you? You do have another option that will protect your family’s dream home and their finances should you die. That option: a personal life insurance policy that you arrange to suit your unique needs. Let’s look at the differences between mortgage life insurance offered by most lending institutions and personal life insurance. Lending Institution Mortgage Life Insurance: • Usually, nonconvertible term life insurance with no cash value, no premium flexibility or ability to move to a permanent life insurance plan if your needs change. • Usually covers the exact amount of your mortgage. Coverage decreases as mortgage is paid down and you have no coverage when it’s paid off. • Lender owns the policy. If you find a better mortgage rate elsewhere, you may have to re-qualify medically. Lender can change or cancel the policy at any time. • Your beneficiaries have no choice about how to use the funds – the lender automatically pays off the mortgage when you die. • The cost per thousand dollars of coverage generally increases every year, while coverage decreases. Personally Owned Life Insurance: • You select the plan that meets your needs. If you decide to start with a term plan, you can convert it to a permanent plan at any time. This is especially important if your health changes because you can make the conversion without having to re-qualify medically. • You own the policy and have the freedom to switch lenders without jeopardizing coverage. Your premiums and benefits are guaranteed for the life of the policy. • Your beneficiaries can choose the funds as they wish – to pay off the mortgage and/
or for other pressing financial reasons. • You choose the type of insurance and premiums that suit your needs and budget. A personal life
insurance plan gives you affordable, flexible coverage that you control and peace of mind knowing your home and family are protected come what may.

Salmon mystery far from solved by Cohen report VICTORIA — Before the 1,200-page, $25-million Cohen Commission report on the Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery slips beneath the waves, allow me to dip my toe into the river of data that has flowed by in the past three years. If your information on this hugely complex subject consisted of skimming a few news stories or watching protesters on TV, you will likely conclude what urban people have been indoctrinated with for years. The whole issue is salmon farms and whether they are bad or catastrophic. “Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen” said the headline on a Black Press report. Those who read past the headline would learn that Justice Bruce Cohen recommended a freeze on further salmon farms around the Discovery Islands group near Campbell River until 2020. It’s up to the industry to show by that time that the risk is “minimal,” or farms there should be shut down. A B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are in that area. There are no current applications for more. Let’s say you decide to
THE MIGRATION ROUTES of sockeye salmon are pictured.
POLITICS
TOM
FLETCHER plunge in, and download the full report from www. cohencommission.ca. If you go to Volume 2, page 102, you will see a series of graphs that show sockeye runs from rivers other than the Fraser, from Washington all the way up to Alaska. It’s not a pretty sight. From Washington up to the Central Coast, the Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alas-
ka’s Alsek, most runs show a decline starting in the 1980s or early 1990s. This includes runs that migrate down the west side of Vancouver Island, away from salmon farms. Alaska doesn’t allow farms, preferring “ranching” – a strategy that floods the ocean habitat with millions of hatchery fish. These are commercially fished and marketed as “wild.” B.C.’s North Coast has never had salmon farms. The area has been subject to a moratorium since an NDP-controlled legislative committee gave its verdict on the problem in 2008. The popular villain in those days was sea lice.
“I made the switch to natural gas as soon as it was available in my neighbourhood. It’s so nice to get rid of the oil tank and now I have the convenience and comfort of high-efficiency natural gas appliances. I also qualified for some great rebates from FortisBC.” Alan, Vancouver Island

Pat Bell approved one NDP recommendation, a moratorium on salmon farms in North Coast waters. This was after the Pacific Salmon Forum conducted its own four-year study, led by former fisheries minis-
agreed that salmon farms don’t explain it. Cohen’s report makes it clear that the problem is far larger than could possibly be explained by salmon farms. How about logging impact? Cohen concludes
after much testimony that stream protection has improved significantly during the time of observed sockeye decline. Impact from extra runoff due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated. Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that. His biggest concern was climate change, warming sensitive river waters and affecting ocean conditions. During the Cohen commission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million fish. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska volcano fertilized the ocean, producing algae that supported more salmon feed. Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? That too is inconclusive. Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts attention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
