Many chickens die in blaze at farm No cause determined yet for fire at Paradise Meadows Farm Erin Haluschak Record Staff
A fire at a poultry farm Tuesday was the latest in a series of unfortunate incidents on or near a stretch of Highway 19A north of
Courtenay. As many as 1,000 chickens were killed in the earmorning blaze at Paradise Meadows Farm in Black Creek, an abattoir that was established in 2009. Oyster River Fire Department Chief Niels Holbek said a barn was fully involved by the time crews arrived. “Very close quarters to work around here. The power lines are in our way,

but we got it out, but someone’s livelihood has been jeopardized, unfortunately. Some propane tanks, a few explosions when we got here,” he told media. Holbek added there are about five buildings on site, and firefighters were able to mostly contain the fire to one structure, but the fire did reach into an adjoining barn. “The first thing is firefighter safety; we’re watch-
ing those power lines,” Holbek continued. “We had some issues around collapse. We couldn’t put anybody in this building — it was fully involved anyways — and then of course we were trying to save the assets for the owner.” He noted the owner is trying to find another location for all of the birds. “We’ve got an excavator but we can’t put anybody ... see CHICKENS ■ A2

Not all the pages have comments, but as you can appreciate, it may take some time to work our way through the table to review them.” The screening review is a scan of the application to determine whether the Application Information Requirements have been met, and does not constitute an in-depth review to determine whether or not issues have been addressed and resolved to EAO’s satisfaction, Compliance vice-president of operations Stephen Ellis said by e-mail. “As we have maintained all along, a comprehensive study delivers a high-quality environmental assessment, incorporating extensive public and aboriginal consultation — this screening review is simply the first round,” Ellis said. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

ed to ensure it was making the best decisions in the interests of its people, based on facts that came out of environmental assessments. The KFN has participated in an environmental assessment working group. “So, minimally, we had consultation happen,” band spokesperson Melissa Quocksister said this week. Information from a traditional use study was provided to the Province to demonstrate how the KFN see their aboriginal rights being affected in the areas of aquaculture and archeology in Baynes Sound. “Our biggest concerns were mostly the impacts on the water leading into Baynes Sound, specifically the Tsable River drainage system and the potential impacts on our aquaculture,” Quocksister said, noting potential impact on treaty settlement lands in the southern area. “The underground mine comes right under our treaty settlement lands. What we wanted was for the proponents to be able to show us that the impacts could be mitigated, but they weren’t able to do that at that time.” “A review of the screening comments seems to indicate significant gaps in the application, some of it having to do with public, First Nations and stakeholder consultation, hydrology issues and marine baseline studies,” CoalWatch president John Snyder said. “There’s no doubt that public scrutiny
and the concerns voiced by local governments, First Nations and stakeholders like the BC Shellfish Growers Association played a role in this decision by the EAO,” added Snyder. “While Compliance could decide to resubmit another application, this rejection by the EAO adds to an already significant headwind Compliance is facing in getting their project approved.” CoalWatch plans to continue conducting research and raising concerns about the coal mine, and closely monitoring the environmental review process for future developments. Compliance spokesperson Candy-Lea Chickite said the company cannot comment other than to say: “We are reviewing the screening comments from the EAO, which they enclosed within a 114-page table that was pro-

Ruben returning because he can U.S. songwriter will perform to raise cash for school project Renee Andor Record Staff
An inspiration to many Comox Valley students will return to the Valley in June — this time to help students fundraise for a huge I Can project. American singer/ songwriter Jesse Ruben toured Valley schools in January spreading the uplifting message of his song We Can to students. The song complemented the I Can initiative, which empowers students through selfdirected community service projects and has taken off in the Valley this school year. Now, Queneesh Elementary School teacher Jen Turner says Ruben will be back for a mid-June visit dubbed the Playground Tour. He will help Queneesh students fundraise to build a new playground at Glacier View Learning Centre. The fundraising project is a schoolwide I Can project, and Turner notes it’s a big undertaking for the students because playgrounds are expensive. “If we could raise $20,000 that would be amazing, and if we could raise more that would be even more amazing,” she says, adding $20,000 would be enough for a simple playground, and the Comox Valley School District has offered to cover the cost of installation once the equipment is purchased.

Winery reaps medal haul The Beaufort Vineyard and Estate Winery recently brought 27 medals home to the Comox Valley from the International Wine Challenge in London, England, the All Canadian Wine Championships (ACWC) and the NorthWest Wine Summit (NWWS). Beaufort, owned and operated by Susan and Jeff Vandermolen, is in its eighth year of operation. The International Wine Challenge (IWC) refers to itself as the world’s most prestigious and influential independent wine competition and is held annually in London, England. “We believe it is one of the toughest competitions to get an award in, as the judging process is very stringent. We are therefore extremely pleased to receive any sort of medal there”, says Beaufort’s winemaker Susan. Beaufort was one of only two B.C. wineries, the other being Poplar Grove, to get a medal of any kind for a 2010 vintage red wine. The All Canadian Wine Championships (ACWC) was established in 1981, is held annually in Windsor, Ont., and is the oldest and largest competition created specifically for Canadian wines. “This competition for Canadian wine producers, might be like the Junos to Canadian musicians,” says Jeff.
“It is very difficult to medal, so to receive any award here is an honour — and to bring home seven is humbling.” Of the 14 Vancouver Island wineries that entered wines in the All Canadians, Beaufort received seven of 11 medals awarded for grape wines. The NorthWest Wine Summit is held annually at Hood River, Ore., and is open to all types of wines and spirits made or produced in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Alberta and British Columbia. “All of our wines have been judged alongside our U.S. counterparts for the past two years,” explains Susan. “In 2012, we picked up medals for every wine we entered (eight) and were in the running for Winery of Distinction. This year we picked up medals for 19 of 20 entries, so needless to say we are overwhelmed.” “Of course it is a
Natural Flat Stonee
great feeling to receive these awards for our wines, however we believe that it proves we can craft consistently high quality, world-class wines, year-on-year, right here in the Comox Valley — and offer it at a reasonable price,” adds Susan. “Special thanks to our loyal customers, but also to everyone who supports their local producers.” Susan and Jeff would also like to pass along their congratulations to all the other Vancouver Island, and British Columbia, wineries who have shown well at recent wine competitions around the globe. “We are proud to have established the first winery in the Comox
Valley, and set the bar for new entrants, but are equally proud to be part of the rapidly growing wine and culinary sector, which is an increasingly important contributor to our local and provincial economies,” Jeff comments. Results from the recent NorthWest Wine Summit (NWWS), held in Hood River, Ore., have not yet been released, but those results will be posted on the Beaufort Winery website when they become available. Details of all Beaufort Winery awards can be found on their website at www.beaufortwines. ca/pages/wineshop. — Beaufort Vineyard and Estate Winery

0n May 15th the Comox Valley RCMP received a report of a scooter theft from the 1700 block of Fitzgerald Avenue in Courtenay. The scooter is described as a yellow coloured Yamaha with a BC plate of S15072. (2013 - 5453) The Comox Valley RCMP responded to a theft report at the Francis Jeweller’s store located on 5th Street in Courtenay. An employee reports that a male had taken a large sum of money from the deposit book and left the store but was followed to another store and began to co-operate with the employee that was following him. Police attended to the second store and the missing money was located in the last known location the accused was at. The man was arrested and is now facing charges of theft under $5000 and possession of stolen property and will appear in court on a future date. (2013 5462) On May 16th police responded to a single vehicle collision with a power pole on Comox Road in Comox. The investigation revealed the cause for the collision was that the driver was momentarily distracted with her pet that had fallen on the passengers
side of the car. The driver was charged with driving without consideration under the motor vehicle act. (2013 - 5495) On May 17th the Comox Valley RCMP attended a two vehicle collision on Highway 19A in Merville , B.C.. As a result of the collision a 56 year old resident of Black Creek died. This is the third motor vehicle fatality in ten days being investigated by the Comox Valley RCMP. (2013 - 5531) In the recent weeks with the nicer weather upon us, the Comox Valley RCMP have been receiving complaints of vehicles and pedestrians being shot at with a range of items, which include BB guns, air soft guns , balloons filled with water and eggs. If a person is located and detained with respect to this they will face charges of mischief and assault. Serious injuries and damage can result from these senseless acts. If anyone has any information with regards to any of these investigation or other crimes, please call the Comox Valley RCMP at 250338-1321. Should you wish to remain anonymous, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

UNBC new partner with college North Island students have better access to professional science careers, thanks to a new agreement between NIC and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George. The NIC-UNBC Dual Admission Agreement gives students the ability to apply to NIC and UNBC at the same time — securing their path into five Bachelor of Science programs at UNBC. Students take one or two years of classes at NIC before specializing in Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physics, or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UNBC. The programs lead to medical, environmental engineering, natural resources, and environmental studies careers, and more. “Now NIC’s growing number of science students can study close to home, save money, and access all the support and recreation opportunities they’re used to, knowing their transition into UNBC’s science degrees is absolutely secure,” said Christine Hodgson, NIC biology instructor and department chair. NIC’s biology, chemistry, and math courses are increasingly popular as are NIC’s university partnership agreements in sciences, engineering, and arts. In recent years, several NIC students have moved from secondyear sciences to UNBC,

NIC VICE-PRESIDENT OF student and education services and planning Lisa Domae; Jan Carrie, NIC education vice-president; Dan Ryan, dean of UNBC’s College of Science and Management; and UNBC registrar Troy Hanschen (left to right) sign a new agreement easing the transition into science degrees for North Island students.

Camila Sanchez where they applied to UBC’s Northern Medical Program after their third year. Camila Sanchez studied NIC sciences for two years before moving to UNBC; she is now recommending the route to her younger sibling. “My brother is studying sciences at NIC right now and he’s considering UNBC,” she said. “I tell him that going from NIC to UNBC is a perfect transition. By the time you get to your third year, the class sizes are smaller, and you’re in a community that feels really comfortable — just like at NIC.” The Northern Medical Program was established to improve the
health of BC’s rural communities. Created with the understanding that doctors trained in rural, remote, northern, and Aboriginal communities are more likely to stay in them on graduation, the program considers students’ experience and commitment to living and working in rural communities as part of its admission process. The pathway into UNBC’s Bachelor of Science degree is ideal for students considering medical careers. “The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program, included in this agreement, is by leaps and bounds UNBC’s most accepted program into the Northern Medical Pro-
gram,” said UNBC Registrar Troy Hanschen, who worked at NIC and is very familiar with the Comox Valley. He knows NIC students will feel right at home at UNBC and invites students to drop in for a visit. “Give our student advisers a call, and come up for a day, sit in on classes, and find out what it’s like to be here,” Hanschen said. “We’re ready to roll out the red carpet for NIC students.” UNBC proudly distinguishes itself as B.C.’s smallest research-intensive university, providing students greater access to undergraduate research than B.C. universities up to 10 times its size.

Village trail to be decommissioned
ALL THINGS SCOTTISH The 18th annual Highland Games Saturday in Lewis Park featured caber-tossing. Other activities beside heavy events included dancing, drumming, piping and the popular Westie Walk. PHOTO BY SCOTT STANFIELD
With assistance, the Village of Cumberland will decommission the lower section of the Shock Therapy trail in the Cumberland Community Forest later this month. A trail specialist from the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA), local park stakeholders, the United Riders of Cumberland and the Cumberland Community Forest Society will assist. Shock Therapy, in the western section of the park adjacent to the Dodge City Down Hill trail, was built in violation of the conservation covenant on the park and has negatively impacted the ecology and historic values of the area. This co-operative approach to trail management reflects the multiuse nature of the Village’s extensive trail network. “There are a lot of different groups that use and have an interest in our trail network,” said Kevin McPhedran, parks and outdoor recreation co-ordinator with the Village of Cumberland. “By working together with the various stakeholders we are able to move toward our goal of effective park management and stewardship.” Trail users are asked to
avoid this trail and allow the site to rehabilitate. As a result of the construction of this trail, significant soil erosion has occurred and vegetation damaged. The trail has also led to the misuse of an important historic structure in the park, a steam powered electric generating plant that was operated by the Cumberland Electric Lighting Company from 1901 to 1912. The upper section of Shock Therapy is located outside of the park and will not be affected. The Village of Cumberland, Cumberland Community Forest Society, the Comox Valley Land Trust and the United Riders of Cumberland thank residents support, understanding and help in enjoying and protecting the Cumberland Community Forest. The Cumberland Community Forest is a 71-hectare nature park to the south of the village that is owned by the Village of Cumberland. This land was given to the Village by the members of the Cumberland Community Forest Society (CCFS) in 2005 to be an accessible wilderness park for all people, for all time. To protect that vision of the park, a conservation
covenant is registered on title. This is a legal document and is a commitment by the Village of Cumberland to honour the terms of the covenant. The terms include restrictions on activities and use in the park: no new trails are to be con-
structed, and no man-made structures are to be built. However, the covenant does permit mountain biking on the existing trail network. If you notice misuse of the park, contact the Village office at 250-336-2291. — Village of Cumberland
Copter helps rescue The crew of an RCAF Cormorant helicopter assisted RCMP and Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) crews from Chilliwack and Harrison-Kent, to evacuate an injured hiker from the banks near Chehalis River, north of Chilliwack, early Monday morning. The hiker had been walking a narrow trail along the Chehalis, just north of Harrison River, when he fell approximately 100 metres to a rocky outcropping below. Although GSAR and RCMP were able to locate the man and provide aid, they requested assistance from the Canadian Armed Forces to evacuate the man as the challenging nature of terrain would have made evacuation by ground difficult. The Cormorant helicopter from 442 Transport and
Rescue Squadron, 19 Wing Comox, arrived overhead just after midnight. “We had excellent communication with the GSAR personnel and we were able to locate the scene quickly,” said Capt. Luc Coates, aircraft commander. “Because of the tall trees and steep terrain, we had to hover quite high and it took a lot of cooperation amongst the crew to ensure we got our Search and Rescue Technicians (SAR Techs) on the ground and the patient hoisted safely.” After a hoist of 240 feet, the SAR Techs worked with the GSAR team to get the patient into a rescue litter. Once he was on board the Cormorant, he was flown to Vancouver, where he was transferred to BC Ambulance in stable condition. — 19 Wing Comox

Dementia in family? There’s help
Two free workshops next week in Comox Valley
Family caregivers in the Comox Valley need help. The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. is showing them where to find it. “Caregiving can be extremely challenging, both physically and emotionally,” says
Jane Hope, the society’s support and education co-ordinator for the Central and North Island. As the disease progresses, caregivers may be required to provide different types of support, from assisting with financial decisions to helping the person with dementia complete everyday tasks. It can often become a 24-hour-a-day job, and can lead to a decision to seek residential care
for their loved one. The society helps caregivers recognize that “you cannot travel alone in your journey with dementia,” says Hope. Two free workshops will also help caregivers with practical suggestions for coping. The first session, Accessing Services, will review support from a variety of sources in the community, and show how to navigate the formal health-care
Managing your pain
The Anam Cara free Health Care Day on May 25 will take the format of a forum on pain management and how to transform our experience of it. Pain is not only a physical experience; it may manifest on the mental, emotional or spiritual levels as well, which are often interconnected. Because we all respond to pain differently, we can benefit from a variety of pain management approaches. Nine members of the Anam Cara Health Care Collaboration will share information and/ or tools for pain management in a forum format. Morning and afternoon presentations will each be followed by a 30-minute forum for the audience to ask questions. The Anam Cara Health Collaboration provides an integrative, holistic and col-
laborative approach to wellness. Anam Cara is Celtic for “soul friend.” Members of the collaboration seek to co-create with their clients the best possible integrative approach for their needs. This is achieved by referrals and educational events, where the public can meet practitioners to discover resonance — a vitally important factor in the healing process — and to gather information and experience. The May 25 event takes place at the Windsor Court Club House in Comox. Sixty seats are available, but registration is required. For more information, to register and for directions, contact Christina via www. relaxandfeelradiant. com or call 250-8909008 between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays.
YOUTH AT RISK
THE INVISIBLE POPULATION Ten percent of our youth provide significant care to siblings, parents, grandparents or other relatives/family members. Youth caregivers who receive support from their family, service providers and educators, as well as peers, usually do well. Others don’t. It can have a negative impact that can last a lifetime.
GUEST SPEAKER
Grant Charles, PhD Associate Principal (Research), UBC’s College of Health Disciplines & Assistant Professor, School of Social Work and Family Studies.
Specify your interest in the morning, afternoon or all-day sessions. Indicate if wheelchair access or disabled parking is needed. Donations for the day’s event will be gratefully received on behalf of Comox Valley Hospice Society and the SPCA. Several Anam Cara practitioners have donated door prizes for draws at the end of the morning and afternoon sessions. — Anam Cara Health Care Collaboration
system. It runs May 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. Tapping into a support network is vital, says Hope. “You and your family member will benefit greatly from the help of those around you who care, including friends and family members.” Designed for Valley residents who are supporting a person with dementia who is living at home, the workshop will also explore some of the challenges that can arise when making the decision to access services and support, and offers strategies for working with service providers and acting as an advocate. The second workshop, the Transition to Residential Care, also runs May 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. It will help family caregivers who are considering residential care options for a person with dementia. General information will be provided on how
to access residential care in the community, as well as a review of some important considerations when choosing a facility. The session will also explore the challenges families face when making decisions about residential care, and review some strategies for preparing for the transition. Both workshops take place at the Lower Native Sons Hall, 360 Cliffe Ave. in Courtenay. Pre-registration is required, by contacting Courtenay Recreation at 250-338-1000 or Hope at jhope@ alzheimerbc.org. More than 70,000 British Columbians are living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, and one in three Canadians know someone with Alzheimer’s disease.

Eureka assisted by students Renee Andor Record Staff
The Comox Valley’s Eureka Support Society will receive $5,000 to help support people with persistent mental illness, thanks to the hard work of some Cumberland Junior students. Grade 9 students Kurestin Cullen, Chelsea Crawford, Cassidy Maximick and Gage McKay’s presentation about the society — which offers a multi-faceted resource centre for adults with persistent mental illness — was voted the best of 13 presentations put together this year by Grade 9 Cumberland Junior students. “They gave a lot of statistics and a lot of information about what the society actually does,” noted Cumberland teacher Jocelyn Schultz, who co-organized the project at Cumberland with fellow humanities teacher Jina Taylor. “It was a great final presentation.”
Cumberland Junior students have participated in the Toskan Casale Foundation’s Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) for the past four years. Students form into groups earlier in the spring, and each group chooses a local grassroots charity to represent. They then have five weeks to research that charity and create a presentation about it. The group that presents the best case for their charity wins a $5,000 grant from the Toskan Casale Foundation for their charity. Eureka Support Society offers recreational, social, educational and vocational activities, as well as a safe environment so people with persistent mental illness can feel secure. The two other finalists this year were Stepping Stones House for Women and the Comox Valley Child Development Association. For more information on YPI, visit www. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com goypi.org.

lic is invited to come to a local venue and join with others in writing Amnesty letters while sharing some pleasant social time with other Comox Valley residents who believe in and care about Amnesty’s human rights campaigns. The next Comox Valley Amnesty Circle “Amnesty in Actionâ€? event will be held in the Wandering Moose CafĂŠ at the historic old post office site in Cumberland. The Wandering Moose is spacious enough to start with, but if it is a nice day we can meet and write letters while enjoying the sun on the plaza out front. The CV Amnesty Circle will provide everything needed: paper, envelopes, stamps and information on which to base two letters. One Urgent Action will be a letter to President Obama calling on him to honour his com-
mitments to end the indefinite detention of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay naval base. Concerns for the health of the Guantånamo detainees — already acute given their years of indefinite detention, combined with torture and illtreatment, and other human rights abuses — are heightened by a hunger strike to bring attention to their inhumane treatment. The other Urgent Action letter centres on a call to ensure the
safety and survival of the Kankuamo and Wayúu First Nations people in Colombia. Participants are welcome to come to The Wandering Moose any time between 2 and 4 and are welcome to stay for a snack and an extended conversation or spend as little as 10 minutes writing a letter in support of those unjustly oppressed.

Opportunity to Comment On BC Ferries’ Proposal For New Vessels The British Columbia Ferry Commission, the independent regulator of BC Ferry Services Inc., is seeking public comment on BC Ferries’ proposal to replace vessels on Route 9 (Tsawwassen – Southern Gulf Islands) and Route 17 (Powell River-Little River/Comox). BC Ferries has submitted an application under Section 55 of the Coastal Ferry Act seeking the commissioner’s approval of the major capital expenditure necessary to acquire three new vessels to replace the Queen of Burnaby and the Queen of Nanaimo both of which are near the end of their service lives and are scheduled for retirement in fiscal 2017. Under Section 55 of the Act, the commissioner may approve a major capital expenditure if the proposed expenditure is reasonable, prudent, and consistent with the current Coastal Ferry Services Contract, and any long term capital plan established by the ferry operator.

This is write from the heart Over the years, Amnesty International supporters have brought positive changes to the lives of over 44, 000 people. Prisoners have been released, given needed medical attention, been granted access to lawyers and proper legal processes, and been able to have contact with family members. Death penalty sentences have been overturned. Individuals have been protected from torture and illtreatment. And people have been reunited with their families and loved ones, and have been able to reclaim their lives, jobs, homes and personal security. It is because so many people speak out for justice that Amnesty International is able to achieve remarkable things.

Water celebration set this Saturday

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and BC Water and Waste Association invite the community to support BC Drinking Water Week 2013 from May 20 to 26. The CVRD will host a celebration this Saturday at the Comox Valley compost education centre (4795 Headquarters Rd. in Courtenay) from 10 a.m. to noon. There will be entertainment, informative displays and kiosks, light snacks and free water–related giveaways.
“One of the best ways to celebrate BC Drinking Water Week is by thinking globally and acting locally,� said Marc Rutten, the CVRD’s senior manager of engineering services. “You can act locally by valuing our water and understanding how to use it more sustainably. “A great way to do that is to attend the community event to learn where your water comes from and to ask questions about this precious resource, our local infrastructure, and also about oppor-
tunities to take advantage of the 2013 water rebate programs.� The CVRD also encourages people to go online and take the Community Water Challenge, a provincewide contest that asks people to pledge online to make simple changes in their daily water habits. Those who make a pledge are entered in a draw for a waterthemed getaway courtesy of the Fairmount Waterfront and Helijet, and also receive 10 per cent off water-efficient fixtures from Splashes

As part of the Keeping It Living campaign, Project Watershed held a bird walk recently. The walk was led by Art Martell, a wellknown birder in the Comox Valley. He took the group to a hidden estuary habitat teeming with birdlife right in the middle of the day, a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of the Dyke Road. Participants of all ages enjoyed the 90-minute outing. Highlights included great blue herons, green-winged teal, red-winged blackbirds, killdeer, long-billed dowitchers and sandpipers. Many of the participants were surprised at the wealth of birdlife and quality of habitat they were shown. While our estuary has been degraded over the years, pockets of healthy habitat still exist. The slough and wild habitat the group visited is in an area established and protected by Ducks Unlimited and the Nature Trust of British Columbia. Supporting and expanding these areas through restoration, land acquisition and other protection measures will help return the abundance that was the namesake of the Comox Valley. The next event in the Keeping It Living series is entitled Mudflats Mischief. It will take place May 25 at 1 p.m. at the Courtenay Riverway Walk. You can find out more about this and sign up online at http://keepingitliving.ca/projects/event-sign-up. The Keeping It Living Campaign also features a silent art auction and competition - to view the art, vote or bid visit www. keepingitliving.ca. — Project Watershed

The school commissioned Everill, with money from its PAC, to create a mural that would help beautify its new project room.

Corporate power Comox Valley residents are invited to The New Face of Corporate Power, an evening with Stuart Trew, trade campaigner for the Council of Canadians, and Brenda Sayers of the Hupacasath First Nation. Free trade and investment deals like NAFTA promote and lock in the rights of corporations to make a profit. At the same time, they undermine the ability of communities to make decisions in their own best interest. Every new deal takes the corporate agenda a step further and they are virtually impossible to cancel once ratified. The Canadian government has signed, or is in the process of negotiating and seeking to ratify, a variety of
new corporate rights treaties. Opposition to these deals has been building. Over 80 municipalities have passed resolutions in opposition to the CETA negotiations, the Hupacasath First Nation has launched a constitutional challenge to the Canada-China FIPA ratification and communities are beginning to organize and inform themselves about the TPP. The Council of Canadians is hosting this event May 27 at 7 p.m. at the Little Red Church (2182 Comox Ave.) in Comox to build collective opposition to all of these agreements. For more information, phone Kathie at 250-334-4608. — Council of Canadians

4 DAY MATTRESS DAYS EVENT! THURSDAY - FRIDAY - SATURDAY - SUNDAY ONLY!
Twin - Double - Queen Mattress
MILE OF FLOWERS planting is scheduled for May 28 at 5 p.m. along Cliffe Avenue in Courtenay.
Find your spot and plant away Bring out family, friends, or your club and join the biggest planting event in Courtenay. The annual Mile of Flowers Plant-In happens May 28 starting at 5 p.m. Hundreds of volunteers are needed to fill both sides of Cliffe Avenue with summer blooms. Randy Wiwchar, the City’s director of community services, said the event is a great way for families and groups to be involved in the community. “It’s an event that people come back to year after year,” noted Wiwchar. “The best part is seeing the flowers you planted bloom for the summer and knowing you’ve made a positive impact downtown.” Anyone can volunteer; just find an empty spot on Cliffe Avenue between Eighth and 21st streets, and start planting. Participants are advised to stay off the road and plant safely on the sidewalk. Depending on the
number of volunteers, the Plant-In can take as little as one hour. The City recommends bringing a trowel or spoon for digging, as well as gloves. The Plant-In is a Comox Valley tradition dating back to 1967, when Kathleen Kirk set out to commemorate Canada’s centennial year. That year she planted 7,800 seedlings as a welcome to tourists. What began as the initiative of one woman now involves hundreds of volunteers and 35,000 flowers. The Mile of Flowers Plant-In will be followed by a free barbecue at Standard Park, courtesy of the City of Courtenay and the Courtenay Rotary Club. Standard Park is off Cliffe Avenue at 14th Street. For more information, contact the City of Courtenay community services department at 250-334-4441 or visit w w w. c o u r t e n a y. c a / mileofflowers.aspx. — City of Courtenay

Blood clinics coming While an hour of your time may not seem long, for patients waiting for blood, your one hour donating blood is time wellspent. However, with many donors away or busy over long weekends, the number of donations usually declines despite the demand for blood remaining constant. Canadian Blood Services is encouraging Comox Valley area residents to make donating blood part of their plans now and help fill the potential long-weekend gap. While there is a continuous need for all blood types, there is always a greater need for the “universal donor” — blood donors with O-negative blood. It is the only blood type that is compatible with all others. “When someone’s life is on the line and seconds matter, there’s no time to check blood type, so hospital patients receive O-negative blood,” says Ed Yee, director of donor and clinic services for the B.C. and Yukon region of Canadian Blood Services. “It is the blood type used in the most critical situations: for neonates, patients with compromised immune systems, and for trauma victims.” Clinics in the Comox Valley to receive your muchneeded donation include: • May 28 and 29 from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. and May 30 from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the K’ómoks First Nation Band Hall at 3320 Comox Rd. Bring a friend or family member to donate with you and remember to make another appointment to donate blood by booking online at www.blood. ca or by calling 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). — Canadian Blood Services

It was 10 years ago this month that the now internationally recognized Riding Fool Hostel opened its doors in Cumberland. It took seven months of extensive renovations to restore and retool the vacant former hardware store into a world-class hostel. The Tarbell’s building, rich in history and a cornerstone of the once thriving community, had laid vacant for three years. This set the stage for a young entrepreneurial spirit that turned the vacant structure into a vibrant business at a time when tumbleweed was blowing down the main street of Dunsmuir and vacant storefronts abounded. Residents and community organizations like the Cumberland Community Forest Society were eager to see something happen with the derelict building and offered their help in a great showing of community support. This was the start of things to come in Cumberland. Over 10 years the hostel has seen great changes along Dunsmuir with those once-vacant store fronts becoming filled with boutique retail shops, unique restaurants and a grocery store that services the now vibrant village. Beyond main street, the mountain bike trail network of Cumberland has continued to grow creating a worldclass mountain biking destination. The hostel has carved itself a niche with the recreational traveller. Specific to mountain biking, Cumberland and the Riding Fool have become known destinations for the experienced rider. Helping fuel this is the rate and style of trail development as well as the advocacy work of the United
Toque. The event is 19+ with proceeds going to the United Riders of Cumberland. The United Riders of Cumberland is a non-profit organization serving the mountain bike community of the Comox Valley through advocacy, group rides and events. URoC is working with the Village of Cumberland on the re-establishment of the jump park as approved in the parks

Puzzling… Fun by the Numbers: Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Island construction off to strong start in 2013 Overall construction activity in the Vancouver Island and Coast region increased in the first quarter of 2013 from the previous quarter. Employment, building permits issued and major projects made gains. Construction employment climbed in 8.4 per cent in April to 27,000 persons while building permits issued more than doubled in March rising to $113.4 million from $53.4 million in February, and major projects under construction rose 4.6 per cent to $10.3 billion. “The first quarter trends are consistent with the increase in

million over February 2013 and the spike to $14.6 million in industrial permits in Nanaimo. Total investment spending declined 5.3 per cent to $85.5 million in the first quarter of 2013 from the
fourth quarter of 2012 in the Victoria metropolitan area. The only sector to post a gain was commercial with a 3.1 per cent increase. Public sector spending dropped nearly 25 per cent in the quarter while the smaller industrial sector fell 36 per cent. “The region’s near term outlook is for a seasonal rise in construction activity, particularly in residential permits and in employment, which typically increase during the spring and summer months since the weather is more conducive to construction activity,” said Baynton.

congratulates the BC Liberals and Premier Christy Clark on their election win. “This government has won a strong mandate from British Columbians to govern with the economy topof-mind,” Winter said. “And that’s great news for B.C.” Winter said the BC Chamber is optimistic about what it can continue to achieve, in partnership with B.C.’s reaffirmed government and premier, to improve business and economic policy in B.C.

As the saying goes, the stronger the housing market, the stronger the economy,” said Stone. “The uncertainty created in the last couple of years with the negative impact of the return to PST and the hesitation leading up to the election has had its toll on housing.

But overall, the outlook for building permits in 2013 is for below-average performance since the regional economy and population will grow at a modest pace. “Beyond 2013, investment prospects will depend on demand and the economy. The expected improvement in growth in the U.S. and Asian economies

I AM AN air cadet, and I have been one
for quite some time. The local squadron here, 386 Komox Squadron, used to be a great squadron. The air cadet program was designed to teach youth discipline, respect, responsibility, and about aviation and the military. But this training year, it has been very hard to learn respect, especially when respect is forced upon you by two officers, not earned. It’s not that I can’t take the discipline, because I definitely can. I grew up in a military family, so I know how the military works. A friend of mine got in trouble because he or she told our CO and another officer something, but not that officer who is under the CO. My friend didn’t get in trouble for skipping the chain of command. He or she got in trouble, simply because she wasn’t informed by the CO or the other officer. Last month, the seniors got in trouble because we lost almost 20 cadets in February, because some of us were being “too hard” on them. However, I know, a lot of these cadets personally, and I know why they quit. Because a certain officer, who just came this year, is being ridiculously hard on cadets. So what I can say, is join cadets. It is a great program, don’t get me wrong. Cadets is there to help our youth of today, and it does! But, some officers don’t. So if you are reading this letter, I ask you to rethink next time you get angry. Because you two are, truly making me and others consider leaving cadets, a program we have loved since we were 12 years old.

perience for us to watch her and about a hundred other children her age enjoying this activity. We have to thank the organizers, coaches, parents and all involved in giving their time to such activities. They don’t just “happen.” It takes hours of volunteer time to be able to provide these programs for our children and grandchildren. However, the smiles on all the children’s and adults’ faces during the activity, told us that they knew it was worth their while to provide such programs for the children.

severing to get the trail built to Royston. Now, from my observations, there needs to be a trail built along Lazo Road between Butchers and Balmoral, ideally all the way to the ocean. This area is an accident waiting to happen. On summer evenings there are sometimes 20 people walking between Butchers and Balmoral. Parents with children, dog walkers, etc. love to walk and bike along here, as the rural setting is pleasing to the soul. There is no shoulder and due to the increased subdivisions in this area, the cars are more numerous and they drive fast. I would love to see even a dirt trail along here and I am sure volunteers would even contribute. Please, CVRD, be proactive instead of reactive. Someone is going to get hurt.
THE MEXICAN BUFFET fundrais-
ing dinner May 3, hosted by the Comox Pentecostal Church, was a great success. Many individuals and businesses deserve sincere thanks for all of their commitment and efforts. The dinner was outstanding with bouquets to Chef Serafin! Pastor Dave Postal, his staff and parishioners provided many hours of service toward the enjoyment and success of this event. Several local businesses donated money or gifts for the dinner or silent auction. Sincere appreciation goes to Thrifty Foods, Walmart and Safeway in Courtenay, Quality Foods and Extra Foods in Comox, Debbie Ross of All Keyed Up Music and several Campbell River businesses. A special thank you goes to Maritza Herrera of Campbell River for her organization of the silent auction. The support of all participants was greatly appreciated.
I HOPE THAT everyone who has been so fearful of the currents given off by smart meters realizes that they will be exposed to these same vibes in various public buildings and outdoor spaces if the city takes Shaw up on its Wi-Fi offer. We will all be unknowingly zapped. Will people who are particularly sensitive to these not be able to go out in public anymore? Where are the voices of all the smart meter protesters? NOW THAT SOME of the dust has
settled after the May 14 election, I’d like to offer some comments on the Raven Coal Mine issue. Politically, we’re at the same place today as we were before the election, with a Liberal provincial government, and our MLA-elect Don McRae likely to retain a cabinet position in that government. It’s now clear that the final provincial decision on the Raven mine project will be made by Liberal cabinet members. All of the concerns about the coal mine, including the need for thorough aquifer mapping, and a request by all of the Comox Valley local gov-

ernments for a more rigorous environmental review, remain the same. The BC Shellfish Growers Association, a crucial stakeholder in our community, still has the massive coal mine proposal listed as the No. 1 threat to the Baynes Sound shellfish industry. It will be interesting to note how or if the requests by the Comox Valley local governments will be addressed during the remainder of the environmental review process. As they say, the proof will be in the pudding. Will the BC Liberal government give the green light to a massive coal mine project that would be perched above the most productive shellfish growing area in B.C., and most likely would require monitoring and mitigation measures in perpetuity? You can rest assured that those who have raised concerns about this ill advised coal mine proposal near Fanny Bay before the election, will continue to voice our concerns today and in the future. Given the timelines for a final decision, it’s a certainty this hot button issue will be a topic of discussion for the remainder of 2013 or early 2014. Stay engaged and stay tuned!

Dry grads the way to go At least twice each year we see a real push from police against drinking and driving. At Christmas, age is not a consideration for police, but in springtime, the target group is clear. Drinking drivers tend to be younger in spring around graduation time. They are, frequently, young men experiencing what some would call the rites of passage. Drinking and driving, however, isn’t a rite, it’s a crime — one with deadly consequences. More than two years ago the province introduced Canada’s toughest impaired driving laws and the number of alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths went down by half. But drinking alone is still a threat to our youth, whether they get behind the wheel of a car or not. From risky sexual behaviour to an increase in physical and sexual assaults to death from alcohol poisoning, the risk to youth from excessive alcohol use or drinking to get drunk, is real. With any luck, the days of parent-sanctioned “wet” grad parties are a thing of the past. With more parents and students concentrating on dry grad activities that have youth celebrating in a safe, non-alcohol fuelled atmosphere, one would think the old hay field parties of yore have been left in the past. But some parents still believe in the old adage, ‘kids are going to drink anyway, so we’ll just make sure they don’t drive.’ That is a difficult stance to take when, as a parent, you’ve spent the last 18 years of your child’s life trying to teach them right from wrong. Then you’re telling them that wrong is OK, as long as mom or dad says so. As parents, it’s our job to make the tough decisions — even if they are not the most popular ones with our kids. All their lives we’ve made decisions for our children based on what we think is best for them. It may not be the easiest thing you’ve done lately, but convincing your teen that drinking alcohol to celebrate is not a necessity and could bring them harm in ways other than the risk of driving drunk will make everyone feel better in the morning.

Voters chose‘death sequence’ Dear editor, Christy Clark has shown us that she can achieve the seemingly impossible by recovering from a 20-point deficit early in the campaign to win a solid majority for her Liberal party. She is truly “the comeback kid.” Former Vancouver mayor and newly elected MLA Sam Sullivan has even said that to him Christy Clark is a god. She worked this miracle by (aside from a massive advertising campaign) articulating one simple policy: grow the economy. Growing the economy will solve all of our fiscal and social problems without entailing any tax increases. I find it interesting that almost no politicians or economists address the basic problem inherent in growth: It can’t go on. Nothing grows forever. It’s absurd to think we can choose to follow the path of growth without accepting the birth-growth-death sequence. The advantage we have as humans is that we have historical perspective. We can see where we came from and where we are going. Our problem is that we are
enjoying the ride so much we choose to avoid looking at the rapidly approaching cliff not far ahead of us. The idea of economic growth is a very recent innovation in human history. For millennia we lived without any significant growth in our population or GDP. Only since the discovery of fossil fuels and the advent of industrialization a few hundred years ago have we experienced any real growth. We have shown incredible ingenuity in using these resources to generate wealth and improve our quality of life. But we don’t seem to have the wisdom to control our population growth or manage these changes in a sustainable manner. Christy Clark now has a mandate to (with the help of Stephen Harper) grow the economy. This involves exploiting our coal resources, fracking for gas and piping bitumen from the Alberta Tar Sand to oil tankers that will gingerly and skillfully negotiate their way through our west coast island channels. This will indeed lead to more jobs, an increased population and economic growth. But at what
price? Unless you’re one of those who believe volcanos are causing all the trouble, it’s hard to ignore climate scientists who are warning us that burning only 20 per cent of known fossil fuel reserves will be enough to raise the earth’s temperature by two degrees. This is seen as the tipping point for the earth’s environment and would be catastrophic for life on earth. We have chosen to ignore these warnings by electing politicians like Christy Clark and Stephen Harper. We have elected a prime minister who has muzzled climate scientists, cut their funding and closed their research centres. Does he want to protect us from hearing all that bad news and negativity? B.C. voters seem to believe that Christy Clark is a miracleworking god who can let us have our cake and eat it, too. We seem to have faith that all those fear mongering self-serving scientists are wrong, that Christy can once again achieve the impossible and save the environment by growing the economy. Erik Taynen, Courtenay
Cheering for premier and MLA Dear editor, Another election and another victory! At this rate the BC Liberals will become the equivalent of the Alberta Conservatives: a political dynasty! Freedom and enterprise have once again conquered the backwardness of NDP Communism. Congratulations to Christy Clark! What a leader! What a campaigner! We were overjoyed at her spectacular come-from-behind victory. Don McRae and his entire campaign team are to be heartily congratulated for their win in the Comox Valley as well.
While the good people of B.C. have shown remarkable good sense in electing a legislature that clearly reflects the interests of the rightful owners of this province, the hopelessly misguided population of Vancouver Island has, unfortunately, mainly voted for the socialists and their tired dogma. We can, however, take comfort in the fact that the BC Green Party increased their vote locally by over 25 per cent. Congratulations are in order for the superb work done by Mr. Aikman and his team! This remarkable success should convince every Liberal supporter to
continue to financially support the CV Green Party. Keeping their bottom line healthy is, by far, our best investment for assured victory in the Comox Valley. As for the BC Conservatives, their incompetent political organization and truly inept candidate will be just a footnote in the annals of provincial politics once their more intelligent members realize that the only way is the BC Liberal Party way. Congratulations once more to Premier Clark and Don McRae! On to victory in 2017! R. Williams, Courtenay
OPINION

Green, except for Comox Valley and Parksville/ Qualicum, both of which are retirement communities? I feel frustrated with those retired individuals who are part of a generation that has contributed to major environmental damage, but continue to keep blinders on and pretend that the environment is fine, or choose not to care because they won’t be around to suffer through the consequences. If you go to the Student Vote website, you see that had only young people be allowed to vote in this election, the NDP would have won a majority government with 54 seats, the Liberals would have won 20 seats and the Green Party would have won eight seats with the BC Conservatives not winning any seats.
I feel it safe to say that in general, young people vote similar to how their parents vote. Which means that most people with a vested interest in the future of B.C., whether they be parents looking out for their children or young people themselves looking to their own future, would have elected an environmentally conscious government. I call on Don McRae to be very aware of the fact that the majority of voters in the Comox Valley did NOT vote for him. In fact, 50 per cent of voters in the Comox Valley voted for the NDP or Green parties. It is Mr. McRae’s duty to represent all the people in his riding, not just those who voted for him. For the sake of our environment, as well as our children’s future, I

ask Don McRae to speak out against the Raven Coal Mine, as well as the Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan pipelines. Let us not be shortsighted in our economic goals. The strong economy that the Liberals are working towards will come at huge environmental costs, if they do not choose more sustainable goals. Our children must not be made to suffer through our mistakes. P. Cross, Comox
Dividing votes just isn’t working Dear editor, I think it is absolutely essential that we admit to each other the obvious. When people who want a just and sustainable world split their votes between two parties, we all get dammed rivers to subsidize power for compressing the gas of a fractured B.C., giant forestry corporations cut free to do whatever they choose in the woods, expanded fish farms that conceal the spread of disease to wild stocks, highways that massively overgrow the Lower Mainland, deeper cuts to education and the continued privatization of our health care, the selling of our public assets and an indifferent eye to the needs of society’s most vulnerable. I don’t agree with the media reporting that, “It’s the economy, stupid.” A prime example: Pierre Trudeau motivated and changed Canada with
his idea/ideal of a Just Society. Through that frame he not only got elected relentlessly but he moved Canadian society to cherish multi-culturalism and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Canada as a peaceful nation.
servatives are the B.C. Liberals on steroids! Already they have declared environmentalists generally as enemies of the state, they have gutted the Fisheries Act so we are left with a handful of waterways with commercially lucra-

It’s not the economy; it’s the frame. The failing of the NDP was that they make no effort to frame their values outside of a wimpy “Better.” I pray those who want a just and sustainable society can all learn a valuable lesson from this: If we continue to divide ourselves into camps that can’t work together we’ll get the same results in the next federal election. And the Harper Con-
tive fish runs and relegated the rest of our aquatic environments to cesspools of industrial waste and exploitation; they’ve set Canadian mining companies loose on the world’s people and environment, creating a joke of accountability called a Corporate Social Responsibility Act that calls on Canadian mining companies to act responsibly — if they want to.

Green ballot regretted Dear editor, As I react to the results of the election, I find that I regret my decision to vote for the Green Party. Though I was admonished by some to vote NDP for the sake of defeating the Liberals, I decided to vote from my heart, sharing the view that, “If we don’t vote for what we believe in, we will never get the change we want.” In retrospect, I see that strategic voting would have allowed both Green and NDP supporters to defeat the Liberals in our Comox Valley riding and I deeply regret my decision. When I look at the political map of B.C., I am ashamed to be part of the Comox Valley. Is it not interesting, that all of the ridings on Vancouver Island elected NDP or

into an outright fraud and confined Canadian foreign aid to corporate interests. They’ve run a dagger through the heart of the idea of Canada as a peace-loving nation, are at war with our public broadcasting system and are actively selling us out to corporate power (trade) agreements that will confine us as to acting as pawns to foreign and corporate interests. We have a short time to take the lessons of last week’s disaster and build relationships that will ensure that what has happened to our province will not happen to our country and Earth. It is time for people who long for a just and sustainable society to come together and talk with each other and make our co-operative spirit more effective than the power schemes of those who would divide Norm Reynolds, us.

Dear editor, In Black Creek, access to water is not an issue. If you are on the water system you simply turn on the tap and if you have a good well, you have water pumped into your house year round. When it rains, water runs down the streets and drains away to the ocean. This is not so in the Tonga region of southern Zambia where it is flat and semi-arid with only small trees dotting the landscape. Residents of this area are challenged by increasing droughts and everlonger dry seasons. The water level in wells and riverbeds is decreasing, and many women and girls must walk several kilometres each day to find water. The Mennonite Central

Regret expresssed about car-hopping Dear editor, I am writing this letter because my friend and I were arrested for carhopping. At the time we weren’t thinking straight and were making bad choices. After we got caught, we went through the community justice program — because of this we got to meet the lady whose car we went into. I felt bad for all the trouble I had caused her. I feel lucky to have had the chance to go through the community justice program instead of getting charged and am now working on doing my community hours. I realize I made a big mistake and will not do it again! I want to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone my actions affected. ••• I am sorry, community

of Comox Valley, for my actions. Because of my actions, people were hurt emotionally. I wasn’t thinking of anyone else but myself. I thought this wouldn’t upset anyone, but I was wrong. Looking back, I regret my actions that day and wish I could change them. I deserve the punishment I have received, and will carry it out willingly. I have changed my group of friends, and have begun thinking before I act so something like this never happens again. Once again, I am sorry, Comox Valley, and I hope that you forgive me. These letters were written as a condition of a settlement reached with the help of the Comox Valley community Justice Centre. The letters arise from the same incident.

Puntledge Park students and families are motivated by two strong forces — their I Can spirit and their creativity. The I Can theme has generated much energy and enthusiasm among the Puntledge Park community to make our world a better place. Jesse Ruben, a singer-songwriter from New York, reinforced this spirit with his song We Can, which all Puntledge students and staff all sing by heart. Now Puntledge Park students, families, and friends are sharing their music, art and creativity with the public at the Puntledge Park Gypsy Wares Fair on May 24 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at École Puntledge Park. The Gypsy Wares Fair is a school fundraiser and an opportunity for artisans of all ages to showcase and sell their work. Puntledge Park students have created art to sell to raise money for Ruby’s family. Ruby, a 10-year old Puntledge Park student, is fighting leukemia and the funds raised will help offset the expenses that Ruby’s family incurs. Creations include patio lights, T-shirt tote bags, woven leather bracelets, recycled bike tube earrings, and mosaic tiles. Twenty amateur and professional artists will also be selling their creations – woodwork, jewelry, paintings, fabric art and more. Miss Molly Bowtique will sell quality hair accessories for girls of any age. Olivia Clayton will sell jewelry made out of guitar picks, including necklaces, key chains and earrings. Danielle Bilodeau of Little Love Letter Arts will sell “fairy tale impressionism” acrylic paintings and a small galaxy

COURTENAY, B.C.
SSO‘experiencing the bright and the beautiful’ Carol Sheehan
Special to the Record
The Strathcona Symphony’s final performance of the year celebrates one of the most successful theatrical partnerships in modern history. Between 1871 and 1896, librettist Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911) and composer Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan (1842–1900) collaborated on 14 comic operas that constitute the most frequently performed series of operas in history. It is a concert close to Maestra Pippa Williams’ heart. “At age 14,”she revealed, “I was a piano accompanist in a production of Gilbert and Sullivan songs. I quite literally fell in love with the music and the songs, never imagining that after returning home to Vancouver Island as a professional musician I’d have opportunity to share this passion with an orchestra, with a community. “In a very real sense, this concert reinforces what the SSO is all about — learning and relearning an iconic corpus of material, reaching out to our audience by revisiting much-loved music.” For this special concert, Williams, wearing her artistic director’s hat, collaborated with five local singers: Chris Bellamy, Barbara Cobham, Walter Jordan, Jacqueline Lambeth and Mary Jo Wood. “While I had my favourite songs, I asked the singers to choose their favourites — G&S songs they loved or ones they’d always wanted to sing. From that, we formed a program. For me, it’s been like opening a jewelry box, experiencing the bright and the beautiful.” Gilbert and Sullivan developed innovations in musical theatre in content, form and musical direction. In addition to elevating the respectability of British theatre and actors in their own time, their influence on the performing arts continues to this day. Cultural references contained in their operettas retain an amazing and timeless relevancy, satirizing political and class structures, poking fun at human
foibles in love and war. Gilbert and Sullivan created fanciful “topsy-turvy” universes where the absurd assumed a degree of realism that heightened the sense of whimsy and comedy. “I wanted to create a larger context for this amazing music,” Williams said, “to highlight the operatic gems from their huge repertoire. We all know the melodies; once heard never forgotten. The singers bring out the lightness, the bubbles in the melodies. “It’s not always happy, however. Gilbert and Sullivan seemed to incorporate a whole gamut of moods and motifs. One thing is clear: this is serious music —
In a very real sense, ❝ this concert reinforces
what the SSO is all about — learning and relearning an iconic corpus of material, reaching out to our audience by revisiting much-loved music.
❞
Pippa Williams sophisticated, complex and evocative.” Critical to Gilbert and Sullivan’s success was the near-perfect balance between music and lyrics, one fully dependent on the other. Conveying the full range between humour and pathos, frivolity and poignancy, their polished melodies and crisp lyrics are memorable and infectious. “There’s no mistake, when you hear the music, that you’ll understand why Sullivan is often referred to, with reverence, as the English Mozart. “I hope the audience will see how the melodies almost automatically lead into song, to dance, to staging. That’s the genius of their collaboration.” Williams and her quintet have narrowed their choices to six operas: H.M.S. Pinafore or The Lass that Loved a Sailor (1878), The Pirates of Penzance or The Slave of Duty (1879), The Mikado or The Town of Titipu (1885), Ruddigore or The Witch’s Curse (1887), The Yeomen of the Guard
or The Merryman and His Maid (1888), and The Gondoliers or The King of Barataria (1888). • Wood from Campbell River brings her outstanding mezzosoprano voice to open the concert. From The Yeoman, considered one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s darkest and most emotionally engaging operas, Wood sings Phoebe’s song, Were I Thy Bride. • Lambeth, no stranger to Comox Valley audiences of jazz, opera and classical music, first sang in a production of H.M.S. Pinafore eight years ago. Her infectious grin and consumate acting skills animate the trio singing Never Mind the Where and Wherefore from Pinafore. • Bellamy (who has set aside his role as Dr. Bellamy, pathologist) brings a depth of stage and operatic experience to the concert. Singing since he was 14, Bellamy had a near dual career as medical student and opera singer. No stranger to Gilbert and Sullivan, this baritone has sung this repertory in many productions and concerts. • As Valley audiences know, baritone bass Jordan has brought talent and personality plus to concerts by the Beach Street Players, Just In Time Jazz, and Island Soul Choir, and now to the SSO. Voice teacher Gloria Herauf and musician Ken Newman coached Jordan in the acute enunciation required in Gilbert and Sullivan’s musical theatre. His large stage presence and energy belie his relatively short musical career. • Cobham began singing at age five and continued throughout her Highland High School years as a self-described “band-girl.” Trained in opera and early music, this light lyric soprano studied with Victoria’s Anne Bateman and Connie Preston of Campbell River. ••• Performances are in the Native Sons Hall this Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Doors are open 30 minutes prior to the concert. Tickets are available from Blue Heron Books and Laughing Oyster Books or at the door. For reservations or for more information, call 250-331-0158.

Choose your favourite words As part of Vancouver Island Mayworks offerings this year there are two events where words figure prominently. One event is new and the other is a Mayworks tradition. On May 23 at Zocalo Café in Courtenay, the audience will select from six shortlisted stories and poems their three favourites, and the authors or poets of those works will receive cash prizes. The shortlisted stories and poems; four short stories and two poems, were selected by our three esteemed judges Carol Neufeld, Harold Macy and Kim Bannerman-Piggot. Those six pieces are two poems: • Resting Place by Harvey Jenkins of Nanaimo; • Springtime in a Counsellors Burrow by Janet Beggs of Comox. And four short stories: • Death by Meteorite by Judy Miller of Nanaimo; • Echolalia by Caroline Woodward of Nootka Light Station; • Which Way Does She Lean by Frank Mottl of Campbell River • Worm Picker’s
Confession by Derek Hanebury of Courtenay. The judges had some hard choices to pare the 19 entries down to six. Deciding the best will be up to you on May 23. The event is free and starts at 7 p.m. The six entries will be read by either the author or a surrogate and then ballots will be handed out. Prizes are worth $600. We will also will be have a chapbook of the six entries on sale for $3. So come and see
what some of the best Vancouver Island writers have to offer. ••• The next night, May 24, we switch to Tintown and the Rewind Coffeehouse where Words and Songs — now in its fourth year — will happen.

I particularly liked the weeklies.” When his father told him that the Tribune was being sold, Black asked if he could buy it. “He just laughed and said, ‘Why do you think I told you?’” recalls Black fondly. The young Black family moved to Williams Lake “for a couple of years” but “fell in love with small town living” and stayed for a decade. While there Black learned the business at the grassroots level. “I learned a lot about the weekly newspaper business,” says Black. “When somebody left, whether it was an editor or a compositor or a sales rep or a circulation manager or … I ended up doing the job until we found a replacement. I really helped me the rest of my career because I actually know what it take to do the job.” And from Williams Lake, Black began to expand his career and business. In 1980 he purchased the Ashcroft Journal (now the Ashcroft Cache Creek Journal). Today David Black lives in Victoria and Black Press includes more than 190 publications, in B.C., the Prairies, Washington State and a daily in both Hawaii and Akron, Ohio. So why has Black Press been so successful? “I understand business, I have a head for business. But the trick is people. If you can surround yourself with people who are really good, you will succeed,” explains Black. “We have really good staff.” And that is part of the reason why community newspapers aren’t as threatened by the internet, say Black. “We are putting out as good a local paper as we can afford editorially. It shows in the numerous awards we receive every year and our readership.” says Black. “I think weeklies will continue very much the same, I don’t see huge changes in towns the size of the Comox

Sounds of India will fill the Little Red Church
Three generations of Indian music coming to Valley
To see three generations of master musicians on one stage is quite a rare event. The father-and-son duo of Pandit Shivnath Mishra and Deobrat Mishra on sitar are representing the 11th generation of the Benares Gharana. From their home city of Benares, an ancient spiritual centre of traditional music and Indian culture, the Mishras are bringing classical North Indian Ragas and meditative music to the world audience, gifting the audience with a fabulous performance and a spiritual experience. Join this fatherand-son duet of two of the world’s finest sitar artists along with Prashant Mishra, grandson of Pandit Shivnath Mishra, on tabla as they inspire one another to new levels of musical inspiration. Pandit Shivnath Mishra is also known as the Legend of the Sitar. He is the 10th generation of the prominent Benares Gharana lineage of top-class singers including Pandit Bade Ramdas Mishra who was Panditji’s great-grandfather. Since his childhood, his highly musical family could see signs of a masterful musician in him. When Panditji was five years old he began studying vocal music with his father, Badri Prashad Mishra, and his uncle-guru, Pandit Mahadev Prashad Mishra. However, when he was eight his musical inclination led him to the study of the sitar. In this family of great classical Indian vocalists, he was the first one to have mastered the sitar. Due to the vocal influence from his family as well as the Benares Gharana tradition, he is one among few artists in contemporary India who ‘sing inside’ while playing a musical instrument. His lively, powerful, and unique style has earned him innumerable titles by the most representative authorities and institutions of music in and outside India. In 1966 when he was only 23 he had already received a gold medal in the All India Music
with his grandfather Pandit and Uncle Deobrat, he was able to perform with Mishras and his skills beautifully complement and support the Mishras in their concerts. In 2004 he won first prize in Tabla competition organized by Sangeet Natak Academy Uttar Pradesh India. Additionally he has received many other awards and recognition

Conference in Calcutta. 1979 marked the beginning of his performances abroad and since then he has been constantly on tour in many countries; among them Germany, Italy, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Japan, Holland and several others. In 1999, he gave his first concert in the USA and Canada. During his tours, he has performed with several international jazz artists such as John Handy, Paul Horn, David Freezen, Ben Conrad, Trilok Gurtu among others. Moreover, he participated in many conferences and recitals including the Condolence music for Late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, in Germany. He also played for the German Radio, Canadian Radio CBC, Austrian Radio, Belgium Television VRT , Italian Television Rai and Telepio.
Being one of India’s premiere sitar artists, Pandit Shivnath Mishra was the Head of the Music Department at the Sam-
purnanand Sanskrit University of Benares, in Varanasi, for 36 years. Within this time in 1994, he formed the “Music of Benares” which consists of a group of North Indian (Hindustani) classical musicians whose
aim is to familiarize audiences all over the world with Hindustani music in general and the Benares Gharana in particular. ••• Deobrat Mishra is one of the most energetic and innovative sitar artists of India. Selectivity, melody and rhythmic complexity are typical features in his lively playing style. Born in 1976, he represents the 11th generation of the Benares Gharana tradition. At six, after only six months of studying the sitar, he gave his first public performance on stage. Five years later, he performed for the first time on All India Radio. Since 1994 he has been touring throughout Europe with his father. In the same year he was chosen to receive the award of the best young sitar player of India. In 2000 he received the Jewel of Sound Award in Mumbai. At home in Varanasi,
Deobrat presides over the cultural events and music lessons provided by the Academy of Indian Classical Music, the school he founded along with his father, in 2006. Among many other projects, the Mishras performed and recorded their music with the Western Symphony Orchestra of Italy in 2005. Nowadays, they fully dedicate their art to similar projects including annual tours around the world. ••• Prashant Mishra is an up-and-coming and accomplished young tabla player of the Benares music tradition.

Keziah Magor dove heroically several times to save points for the Strikers. After a tight first-set loss (23-25) the Strikers battled hard in set two but again came up short (19-25). The remainder of pool play saw the Strikers capitalize with kills and seven service points from Katinka Neumann alone in set two where they came away with a 25-18 win. Gold also put together a string of nine serves in set three with some great kills from Jessica MacLean to secure a win in match two against the CBVC Warriors. Match three put the Strikers against the Coquitlam Ducks where they took charge and swept the match in two sets (25-18 and 25-17). Emily Novak came through with some kills at the net as did Emma Hill. Teryn Bates capitalized on key moments with points from the service
missed some pivotal points in the first set, dropping it 17-25 to CVS. Despite MacLean putting up seven serves in a row in set two, unforced errors crept in to bring the Strikers down 16-25, leaving the team to play for ninth place against Synergy. The match was close with the teams trading leads and serve control almost every point in both sets. Attacks from Sam Regehr, Novak, Neumann and Gold kept
the team alive in set one where the Synergy just caught the team with a 25-21 win. In set two Madison Dueck hustled to set everything and played the ball over the net in surprise attacks several times. Libero Lauren Rensvold dove for several passes in an attempt to keep the Strikers from defeat in their final match, but to no avail as the final point played out to end the match and set 25-22 in Synergy’s favour. The team played
well and certainly improved their game over the season, working on all aspects of team and individual skills to bring their best to the final tournament, which they did. Everyone should be proud of their diligence and hard work put in over a long season of play. Many thanks to coach Donna Baydock for her time and dedication to the team over this season. – Strikers 16U Girls Volleyball

THIS MOUNTAIN BIKER competed in an Island Cup cross-country race in Cumberland.

UROC blazing trails for riders Scott Stanfield Record Staff
The United Riders of Cumberland (UROC) hosted the Island Cup XC and the Dodge City Downhill men’s bike race in April. The latter drew 150some competitors, the youngest five years old. The field included several national-calibre racers. Established five years ago, UROC has a growing membership, which does not represent the number of trail users. “We’re a group of 200; we can say we’re a group of 400,” said UROC board member member Matt Powsey, who lived in the village in 1993 when he and others started building trails. He and a friend started Dodge City Cycles. “Mountain biking in Cumberland goes back many moons. In the winter of ‘93/’94 me and a couple of guys started building the first trails on that north slope.” One is called Buggered Pig, in reference to a piggery back in the day when Cumberland contained a Chinatown. “There’s a lot of historical names in the trails,” Powsey said. These include Haigai, which was the name of the main street in Chinatown; Bucket of Blood, named after the Wellington Hotel; Trail Tuna Juice, a nickname of a kid who delivered lunches in the mines; Bronco’s Perseverance, in reference to longtime mayor/ alderman Bronco Moncrief; Shaker, built
www.comoxvalleyrecord.com
where Japanese shake mill lines were located; Black Hole, in reference to coal seams in a deep hole; and Steam Donkey. “It’s pretty fantastic,” said Powsey, who feels mountain biking is the major draw to Cumberland. “There’s people coming on big vacations to ride British Columbia single track. They’re going to Whistler, Vancouver and Cumberland … Regardless of what anybody says, mountain biking has been the catalyst for what turned Cumberland around in terms of a thriving village.”
The club is in the initial stages of designing a jump park at Village Park, where they hope to break dirt in the fall. UROC has entered a two-year agreement with the Village to work with staff on land access agreements with land owners. The Memo of Understanding will help the club to further promote mountain biking in Cumberland — and to further build a destination tourism product locally. “There’s a real population to do that in Cumberland,” said UROC president Mike Manara, noting the village rivals the
Sea to Sky corridor in terms of mountain biking, according to the Mountain Bike Tourism Association. “To be considered in that kind of league is pretty special.” UROC youth memberships are available at Dodge City Cycles. All-mountain Mondays are for riders aged 11 to 17. There are also rides for women and beginners. Check unitedridersofcumberland.com and Facebook for more information. The next event is a 12-hour endurance race in June. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

The Comox Valley Food Bank Society needs a Permanent Location to serve our Community The organization has raised significant funds towards the purchase of a building but will need a Faye Friesen, Volunteer & Director mortgage to finance this acquisition. This will require a reliable monthly source of income apart from the already generous donations we get to purchase food for our clients. Consequently, we are asking the public to support this endeavour by committing to monthly donations in the form of post-dated cheques or pre-authorized bank debits. Or you can help with a one-time donation. Tax receipts are available. I wish my donation to go towards: (A) Building Fund (B) Purchase of Food I wish to help with:
1. One time payment of ________. 2. Twelve equal payments of ________. 3. Donation of food products. 4. Donations of goods for our auction. 5. I plan to remember you in my will. 6. I would like to be a volunteer for the Food Bank or help with Fundraisers.
Why I volunteer at the Food Bank I’m a volunteer at the Food Bank. I collect donations from Extra Foods and arrive at the food bank around 8:20am. This Thursday morning I arrived at my usual time and there were people waiting already. One was a young woman. I told the group that we didn’t open until 9:30am. The young woman said she had to be served early because she had a long walk home. Thinking I could give her a lift, I asked how far she had to go. “To near the Griffin Pub”, she replied. “Can you catch a bus?” I asked. She told me that she had given her bus money to her boyfriend because he had a job interview in Cumberland. So I gave her $3.00 from the change in my pocket. Later, when we opened she was first in line. She told me that a friend was giving her a lift so here’s my $3.00 returned. She is a classic example of why I volunteer at the Food Bank. She reminds me of how lucky I am, and she reminds me to be thankful for what I have.

The Crown Isle ladies club was treated to a great day of golf, a wonderful luncheon and a super rules lesson taught by our very own rules queen, Judy Pouilot. Last week’s game was team Stableford where net scores for each team member earns four points for an eagle, three for birdie, two for par, one for bogey and minus one for double bogey or worse. What’s neat is that blow-up holes don’t hurt the team drastically! The winners were: 1st Pat Chalmers, Carol Ayley, Linda Stickney and Shirley Ketter 137 points. 2nd Barb Parker, Janet Phillips, Sheila Potts and Helen Flynn 135 points. KPs: Sheila van Gisbergen #12, Marilyn McCusker #4. Par 5s: Pat Johnson #1 and #15, Donna Cunliffe #1. Hope you didn’t miss the CN Future Links Jr. Championship at Crown Isle last weekend. There was some great shot making. Brooke Henderson (207) from Ontario, Jisoo Keel (208) from Coquitlam, Kevin Kwon (203) and our very own Mark Valliere (209) and Logan Yanick (214) from Crown Isle were all winners. Many thanks to all the hardworking volunteers. Crown Isle ladies club was well represented at the Comox Mother’s Day Tournament. Katy Macaulay and Valerie Dingwall (who also won a 50/50 draw) were some of the gross winners and Sheila van Gisbergen was one of the KP and net winners. Don’t forget Wednes-

TKD club rocks at Islands Woo Kim Taekwondo instructors Richard Dobbs and Anne Koke led a group of 35 students down to Parksville to compete at the Vancouver Island Taekwondo Championships last weekend. “We had a large number of first-timers at this tournament. It’s really exciting to see how the students react to the pressure of competition,” says Sabumnim Dobbs. “Everyone
performed exceptionally and win or lose, we always learn something and come out better for it.” And win they did. With 14 gold, 29 silver and 18 bronze medals the students came out shining. Leading the way was national competitor Jonathan Blancas who brought cheers from the crowd with his exciting style. Blancas finished second in

Monsters marvelous Terry Guest Special to the Record
Two amazing nights full of high-flying monster trucks and racing in all divisions took place at Saratoga Speedway over the May long weekend. Rockstar, California Kid and a unique monster truck named Reverse Racer, who looked like he was driving in reverse, hit huge air on jumps, popped huge wheelies and destroyed RVs both nights. In the Crash to Pass division, a season-high 15 cars took to the track. #02 Matt May dominated the 20-lap main event on a wet Saturday evening, leading every lap and holding off his dad #01 Jeff May for the win. In the Hornet division, #81 Jeremy Stormo held off hard charger #24 Karl Kurpiela to take his first B main event win of the year. In the A division, it was a dog fight between #15 Lane Pearson and #02 Daryl Cahill from lap 10 on, with Pearson eventually taking his first A main event of the year. In the Roadrunner division, #17 Dan Kemp (who had been fighting the wet track all night) finally found his way in the main event, leading every lap to win his first main event of the year. #77 Trace Stevenson had his winning streak snapped at four races. Stevenson won the dash, with the heat going to #01 Kevin Lawrenuk, and the main going to #15 Cindy Kennedy. Sunday night saw dry conditions for the whole night, making for some clean, great racing. #73 Sheldon Hopp held off a full field of cars to win the 25-lap main event in the Crash to Pass class. #81 Jeremy Stormo made it a clean sweep in the Hornet B division, yet again winning their 25-lap main. In the Hornet A division, #02 Daryl Cahill who finished second in last night’s main event, found himself in the winners circle on Sunday, holding off hardcharging #01 Kevin Lawrenuk to win his first main of the year. Lawrenuk found his way into the winners circle in the Figure 8 class, winning their 12-lap main event. Finally in the Roadrunner division, #17 Dan Kemp once again dominated the main event, leading every lap to
take home his second main event win in as many nights. EXTRA LAPS This weekend marks round one of the Drifting competition which has been moved from Fridays to Saturdays to give it a wider audience … three Drift cars put on a demo over the weekend to show the fans what’s to come for the year and they pulled
off great drifts coming in and out of various corners … there will be five rounds of drifting this year, with Saturday’s opener going rain or shine … accompanying them will be the Bomber cars in the Brian Sullivan Memorial race, I.M.C.A Modifieds and the motorcycles … – Saratoga Speedway
RACE FANS ARE looking forward to the first round of the Drifting competitions this Saturday at Saratoga Speedway. PHOTO BY FERNANDO PEREIRA

BCUOMA is a not-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.
ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
BCUOMA is expanding its successful ambassador program this summer – with two teams of ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling. By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations.

Local volunteers play key role in future of fishing
O
n Sunday, May 5 I was involved with the Fanny Bay Enhancement Society’s annual River Never Sleeps Festival at the Rosewall Creek enhancement facilities. On Tuesday, May 7 I was involved with the Oyster River Enhancement Society’s celebration of the release of their coho smolts. At Rosewall Creek, many of the smolts were carried in small containers by children and interested adults and released directly into Rosewall Creek. It was an emotionally charged activity for all of the participants – especially the children. Throughout the day-long festivities my information is that they released in excess of 30,000 smolts into the river. It is a classic case of getting young children involved in an activity that permits them to begin to make the connections of raising small fish in the security of the enhancement facility until they can manage on their own. Yes, they have been nurtured in a hatchery to this point and the major reason we must assist wild creatures at delicate phases of their life cycles is that our exploitation of wild places has made these places unfit to begin the salmon’s journey of life. The Oyster River event was quite different, although equally exciting. In this case the students in a Grade 11 class from Campbell River were actively involved with the members of the society in transferring the smolts from their rearing pen to tanks in trucks. They formed a living chain where buckets of water and fish were passed from one student to another up a steep bank until they
on subsidizing and promoting pipelines and the petroleum industry which is a major source of carbon dioxide that is enhancing and speeding up the process of climate change. It raises an increasingly important principal of whether or not the federal government has any fiduciary
responsibility to the people of this coast and our threatened salmon runs in the face of climate change. In the meantime, the people of this coast are stepping up to the plate to try to preserve the magical ecosystems that make this rich land such a special place. Let’s hope
the children make the necessary connections of life cycles. 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.
GORDON OLSON DIRECTS a stream of water and coho smolts into a side channel of the Oyster River. PHOTO BY RALPH SHAW
OUTDOORS
RALPH SHAW were transferred to the tank in the waiting truck. They were then transported about a kilometre downriver where they were released into a side channel from which they would make their way into the mainstream Oyster River. While this process was taking place a Grade 5 class was involved in observing the process from start to finish. The picture accompanying the column is of Gordon Olson, a retired farmer from the Peace River, who was holding and directing the stream of water and coho smolts as they were pumped out of the tank on the truck into the shaded waters of the side channel. Gordon stands alone in the cold water of the side channel and is symbolic of two years of work by dedicated volunteers to raise these coho smolts so they can enter the river and the Strait of Georgia, growing into adult coho in another two years. In Gordon Olson’s case he is not a fisher-
man; he, like hundreds of other retired Valley residents, wanted to pay back what his country has given him. The enhancement programs featured in this column are symbolic of an incredibly important conservation movement involving a broad section of society from the very young to those approaching their twilight years. There are thousands of participants and their contribution is taking on an added significance with the continued withdrawal of the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Canada in supporting wild
salmon enhancement programs. As I write this column I received a tip that the final processes are being put in place to close the Comox office of DFO. They may counter that they have just given the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) the proceeds from salmon stamp sales to help defray the costs of these volunteer program. From this column’s perspective the gifting to the PSF of funds from salmon stamp sales is a Faustian deal when you compare it to the hundreds of millions the federal government is spending

Adult Literacy Centre celebrating 20th birthday The Adult Learning Centre, a non-profit charitable society, is celebrating its 20th year serving those in need of one to one tutoring and mentoring in adult and senior literacy and essential skills, as well as ESL settlement assistance. This longtime society works collaboratively with North Island College, School District 71, the Creative Employment Access Society, the Immigrant Welcome Centre and the Comox Valley Lifelong Learning Society. As its 20th year begins, the board of directors announces the permanent appointment of Lynn Moseley as manager and team leader. She joins Leslie Corra and Anne Campo in the English as a Second Language Settlement Assistance Program; Marcella McDougall, who will soon succeed Gabriel Dey as literacy coordinator; Danielle Hoogland, seconded from the Comox Valley Lifelong Learning Society as co-ordinator of a Family Literacy Outreach Program; and Melanie Rait, the ALC’s bookkeeper of many years. In addition to parttime staff, the Adult Learning Centre operates with 70 trained tutors in Literacy and ESL. Together, this dynamic non-profit team has quietly been serving the community to those in need of literacy services to return to work, to communicate with ease in a new country, or to learn a new skill to improve lifestyle. The 2013/14 year promises to continue to be an exciting adventure in providing new programs in literacy. As well as the regular tutoring and mentoring sessions, increased programs for beginning computer users for adults 19 to 90 and a new literacy program in finance are just two of the newly designed programs slated for the fall. ESL programming includes the popular Mother Goose and More program at Courtenay Elementary School, a joint project with School District 71. English Through Song, held every Thursday at the Adult Learning Centre, as well as discussion and activity groups for both men and women are popular ongoing programs.
A Family Literacy Outreach Project, that has taken place in two elementary schools, Puntledge Elementary and Glacier View Elementary, is patterned after the Mother Goose
and More model. In its final session this collaborative project with NIC Adult Basic Education, Lush Valley and School District 71 has included basic topics in foods,
family care and adult literacy. The working board, to support this amazing group of dedicated staff and volunteers, is seeking additional members. They are
