Street soccer players hopeful Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Heath Young and James Souter are hoping to represent Canada at this year’s Homeless World Cup in Pozna, Poland. Both are new members of the Maple Pool United street soccer team that practises weekly at Maple Pool Campground and RV Park in Courtenay. The squad is gearing up for the annual world tournament’s June 29 Western Canada qualifier at Lewis Park.

Young, 35, discovered the street soccer program this year when he met team coach/co-ordinator Grant Shilling, an outreach worker at the Dawn to Dawn: Action on Homelessness Society, “through housing complications. “Ever since then it’s been onward and upward,” Young said. “Everything’s getting so much better and so much … wouldn’t say easier. Day by day.” Young is a Dawn to Dawn client who has lived at Maple Pool for three

months. Years ago, he had played soccer while growing up in Abbotsford. His father coached the team, which competed in a league and played in tournaments. He honed his skills each summer at soccer camps, and cross-trained by cycling and running. On one memorable weekend he and his teammates were ball boys at a Vancouver Whitecaps game. In his teens Young moved to Nanaimo, where he competed with the city’s elite soccer players.

“There were some prospects there to go to England, but I popped my knee out,” said Young, who was sidelined from soccer because of addiction. He recently finished treatment at the Comox Valley Recovery Centre. “Even if I don’t go to Poland, just getting out and getting healthy again. Getting off the couch and away from that other stuff.” Young enjoys the camaraderie that comes with meeting new people, feel... see PLAYER ■ A3

“And can it be that in a world so full and busy the loss of one creature makes a void so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up.” Charles Dickens Chum… the Gentle Giant whose paw prints will forever remain on thousands of hearts around the world... passed away April 26, 2013. Chum began her life in Black Creek as a friendly and much loved puppy. True to her breed, Chum spent many hours rescuing frogs from her garden pond and pulling children out of the water who she felt needed saving. Chum grew to be a beautiful, loving and loyal companion. Throughout her thirteen-month ordeal that made her famous, Chum’s sweet and gentle nature never waned. She loved being with people, greeting everyone with affection and displaying a special affinity for children. It was pure joy to spend time with her. When Chum was permanently released and reunited with her lifelong mate Champ we all celebrated but it was short-lived. For many months during her forced incarceration by the CVRD, Chum had suffered with bone cancer that had fractured her leg bone and spread to her lungs; a condition that remained untreated for the duration of her time in custody. She tolerated the isolation and pain with a quiet dignity so characteristic of the Newfoundland breed. Chum’s spirit shone bright until the end and we will miss her dearly. Chum has returned to the Comox Valley. Her ashes will be laid to rest with her beloved mother, Edith Manseau, who fought so bravely to save Chum’s life.

Leonard sole Courtenay councillor present to raise objection to proposal

under consideration for some time, and had previously been posted on Mr. Duncan’s website, and sent out in a flyer to Comox Valley residents; however, the Corporation of the Village of Cumberland was never contacted directly in regards to this new proposal by Mr. Duncan’s office,” wrote Topham. Topham also told council the time for public and municipal feedback is long over as the public hearing was held in Courtenay in October and the only other avenue for input is through the MPs’ objections. Coun. Gwyn Sproule questioned why Cumberland would be split in two when the Village has a population of only about 3,000. Coun. Kate Greening said she is not surprised by Duncan’s recommendation. “I was a little disappointed — not surprised — but disappointed that Cumberland wasn’t really considered in any of the discussions, and that was rather evident when he was interviewed on CBC radio this morning,” she said Monday. “He talked, saying what he discussed it with, was with the major mayors of the Comox Valley, so it’s not surprising that that is what came out of it.” Baird previously told the Record that while the northern part of the municipality is not developed now, the Village is planning for future growth. Council voted to write a letter to Duncan “strongly objecting” to the division of Cumberland, and to send copies of the letter to Nanaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney and local governments.

A NEW PROPOSAL by Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan suggests Courtenay would remain in his riding, but the populated portion of Cumberland would move to another federal riding. a Parliament of Canada report. Ronna-Rae Leonard was the lone member of Courtenay council opposed to a letter supporting Duncan’s idea. Couns. Jon Ambler and Doug Hillian were absent from Monday’s proceedings. “My understanding is that the proposal from the independent commission has Cumberland with Courtenay and points south. Mr. Duncan, his proposal segregates out Cumberland and points south,” Leonard said

in an interview. “It’s just a question of how you split it.” Noting population is the “stimulus for this exercise,” Leonard suggested Monday that council is “way outside of our depth here.” Mayor Larry Jangula disagreed. “This is democracy,” Jangula said, noting widespread opposition to the original proposal at a public hearing hosted by the commission last year at Crown Isle. “We’re getting another member of Parliament. I think it’s a good

compromise. I think it’s the best fit we can have.” Leonard, however, said the MP would represent more people than the electoral quotient, which is about 111,000 people. “We’re a growing community,” she said. “Within 10 years, we will again be way overloaded in terms of population, and not getting the fair representation.” She notes measures and compensations are in place for MPs in terms of a riding’s distance from Ottawa, its geographical size and

remoteness, and its population. “We were over on all three things,” Leonard said. “The smaller it is the better, and certainly the less population the better. The less people you have to serve in a remote population, the easier it is.” The report is available at www.parl.gc.ca/ Content/HOC/Committee/411/PROC/Reports/ RP6190719/411_proc_ Rpt58_PDF/411_proc_ Rpt58-e.pdf. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Player could be goalie on Canada’s squad ing his confidence growing with each soccer session. “It’s been a work in progress,” he said. “Getting back into the sport with a good coach and a good leader (Shilling) is just far and beyond, and good teammates, too. There’s no end to goodness here … ” Souter, 44, is a poten-

tial goalie for the Canadian team bound for Poland. “I quit smoking so I could play soccer,” said Souter, who last played the sport when he was a kid. He moved from Ontario about a decade ago, first living in Alberta before coming to the Island three years ago. Souter was one of four

players who turned out the first day of the season in April. “It rained,” he said. “None of us had cleats. We had just running shoes on, slipping and sliding all over the place. We had a great time.” The street soccer program provides an opportunity for homeless and marginalized individuals to exercise,

socialize and compete in a fun environment. The sport involves four-person teams that play on a field about 22 metres long with hockeysize nets. Last year, Street Soccer Canada named Joan Mathias of Maple Pool United to the women’s national team that competed at the Homeless World Cup in Mexico.

Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan has appealed to Elections Canada to readjust a proposed federal boundary change that would split Courtenay, thereby having two MPs serving residents. The redistribution proposed by the BC Electoral Boundaries Commission leaves part of the city east of the Courtenay and Puntledge rivers, along with Comox and electoral areas B and C in Vancouver Island North. The other part of Courtenay, Cumberland and Area A would transfer to Nanaimo-Alberni. Duncan has submitted a detailed proposal that readjusts the boundaries. According to Duncan and Nanaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney, “The division of Courtenay and Comox, as twin cities with a high level of integration and shared community interests and identities, would be unnatural and contrary to principles of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act,” as stated in

Be wary when in Puntledge After the successful Comox Valley Paddle Festival last weekend, BC Hydro is shifting operations to consider the summer chinook migration up the Puntledge River. River flows along the stretch of river from the diversion dam to the generating station will double, but other areas of the river will remain about the same as BC Hydro reduces flows out of the generating station. The public is advised to be cautious within the Barber’s Hole, Nymph Falls, Stotan Falls section of the river every Tuesday and Wednesday from this week through to July 10. The timed river flow increase over the next five weeks will allow chinook to migrate past river obstacles and access upstream fish habitat. The base flow within the fivekilometre stretch of river below the diversion dam will double to about 12 cubic metres per second. The river flow increase may seem relatively benign but river areas like the potholes or small waterfalls near Stotan Falls, for example, can change river-flow hydraulics and be a hazard. This is especially the case for people who go into the river the day before the migration flow is in place and then not notice the difference the following day. — BC Hydro

Market consultation coming Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Courtenay council will confer with businesses and the local Business Improvement Association before deciding whether to close roads for several hours once a week in the summer to accommodate the Midweek Farmers’ Market downtown. The Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association has agreed to host the market Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon at England Avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets in July and August. Staff recommends closing England from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to accommodate

setup and teardown. The midweek market had run at Comox Bay Farm. On Monday, Mayor Larry Jangula and Coun. Manno Theos supported Coun. Starr Winchester’s motion to defer a decision until the next meeting Monday. Couns. Ronna-

Rae Leonard and Bill Anglin were opposed. Couns. Jon Ambler and Doug Hillian were absent. While happy with the Farmers’ Market, Jangula hesitates to support the move until concerns expressed by some area businesses are addressed. Jangula also questioned the proposed location, noting the market used to operate at Duncan and Fourth. Anglin, who feels the market serves the greater good of the entire downtown, said the location is ultimately determined by the DCBIA. He also feels none of the issues such as lane access are insurmountable. “Most things in life

More interest in coal mines Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The proponents of the Raven underground coal mine proposal in Baynes Sound have applied to the Province for another coal licence in the Comox Valley, while a second company is hoping to stake a claim in the Woodhus Creek/Oyster River area. The Comox Valley Regional District committee of the whole approved Tuesday letters to the chief inspector of mines to inform terms and conditions of requested coal licences submitted by Compliance Coal Corporation and Hillsborough Resources Ltd. The Raven project is in the pre-application stage of an environ-

mental assessment. Compliance — which also holds a 60-per-cent interest in the Bear Coal Deposit south of Comox Lake — is trying to obtain a licence to explore about 1,672 hectares of undersurface coal resources above Forbidden Plateau within the Browns River watershed north of Comox Lake. Hillsborough is looking to explore nearly 3,000 hectares, mostly in the Strathcona Regional District. “We have concerns in this Valley. We’ve walked down this road,” Area A director Bruce Jolliffe said Tuesday in reference to the Raven project and the Bear deposit. Cumberland director Gwyn Sproule likened coal to a “new gold

rush,” echoing Jolliffe’s concern. District staff note a new assessment regime at the federal level. If issued a coal licence, the companies cannot carry out surface-disturbing activities. They first require approval from the mine inspector before commencing work on their licence.

will impact somebody,” said Anglin, suggesting one complaint can shut down any event. “Are you (Jangula) saying if one person doesn’t like it, it won’t happen?” By contacting each complainant, Anglin fears council will set a precedent and create unnecessary headaches for every special event such as the Canada Day celebrations.

Learning curve continues Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Comox Valley MLA Don McRae’s new cabinet portfolio is about to take a new direction. McRae was sworn in Monday as Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation after Premier Christy Clark shuffled the cabinet Friday. While social development has been the cornerstone of the ministry for some time, the social innovation piece signifies a new direction in terms of developing roles, he indicated in an interview. “It’s something that they’ve asked us to try to encourage and grow in the province,” said McRae, who formerly served as education minister and agriculture minister. Along with his new post, McRae will serve on the influential Priorities and Planning Committee chaired by Clark, and the Cabinet Committee on Secure Tomorrow. “The learning curve in my political career has been outstanding. I can’t say I’ve ever been bored.” He notes a “whole buffet of government issues and priorities” in the past four years, starting with his first ministry in agriculture and then switching to education. “I’ve been very lucky, I think, as a relatively new MLA to have this sort of opportunity,” said McRae, who defended his Comox Valley seat in the recent provincial election. McRae was a high school teacher before becoming a member of Courtenay council in 2002. He captured the B.C. Liberal nomination for the Comox Valley in 2009 following the untimely death of Stan Hagen, and was elected MLA in the

ministry and it’s pretty much in most reasonably sized communities across British Columbia,” McRae said. “People who live in small towns can access online or by phone.” When he worked as a teacher, McRae encountered many people with some level of disability. He notes society’s desire to accommodate individuals with physical and mental challenges into the workforce. “Some of them have just absolutely amazing employment skills, and it’s the right thing to do,” McRae said. “It’s something that I think we need as a government to begin to work with the community.”

A proposed residential development in Cumberland soared over a hurdle at the Cumberland council table Monday. Council gave third reading to bylaws to rezone a nearly 10-acre property — bordered by Carlisle Lane, 10th Street and Ulverston Avenue — amend the Official Community Plan, and create a phased development agreement for the proposed 33-lot development. During a public hearing in late May, some nearby residents voiced concerns about increased density, noise and traffic. One couple who purchased a lot in the midst of the now tree-covered land later found out it was slated for development, and opposed the plan to extend Carlisle Lane past

their home. Councillors noted area residents’ concerns as they expressed keen support for the project. “I heard people’s concerns, particularly the people who are living in the lot in the middle and losing the trees, but of course when you buy a property you’re not buying the trees too, so all I can say is I think the proponents have come forward with a good plan,” said Coun. Gwyn Sproule. “Even though I am sympathetic to all the people around there, I think that this will be a great addition to the Village of Cumberland.” The project would be completed in three phases and include coach houses and secondary suites for “home-based businesses and rental opportunities within a single family neighbourhood context,” according to the

report to council. The project would also feature park area and trails. “I think for the Village to encourage density closer to the core of the community is a good way of moving forward and I think that this development is addressing that,” he continued. Mayor Leslie Baird thanked the proponents for the time and effort they put in to speaking with area residents. The property is owned by Dale and Shirley Querin, and Dale noted he would develop the land with the help of his two sons Brandon and Joel. The bylaws are expected to come back to council for fourth reading on June 24. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Music lovers could be dancing outside the Waverley Hotel this summer, as Cumberland Village Works is planning an outdoor block party. Cumberland council approved Waverley Hotel owner Don McClellan’s request for a street closure and exemption from the Village’s noise bylaws for Aug. 2. “The Waverley has become the centre of musical events

in Cumberland over the past decade and we would like to have a ‘block party’ and present some of our favourite artists that have helped put our Village on the musical map,” wrote McClellan in a letter to council. The section of Dunsmuir Avenue in between the Waverley and the Ilo Ilo Theatre would be closed to vehicle traffic from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., though pedestrians would be allowed through. A stage would be in front of

The street area would be fenced in, and McClellan applied to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for a temporary change to the establishment’s licensed area — which, if approved, would allow the Waverley Hotel to serve liquor in the sectioned-off street area.

LAND OF PLENTY

A History of the Comox District

Naval History In April, technical training in mechanics was stopped in Naden (II), as this part of stoker training could now be adequately handled at Esquimalt. The training at Comox was again primarily in connection with the range or boatwork. But something new was about to be added that would later change the whole character of the establishment. Already, an assault course was half-finished and preparations were in hand for training in bayonet fighting, gas attack, and various other aspects of fighting on land. More and more, the Bren and other automatic weapons were heard on the range, and occasionally the anti-aircraft guns mounted in the bracken eastward of the barracks. By December the navy’s establishment up the bay at Courtenay was taking definite form. It was in this month that Naden (II) became responsible for the completion and fitting out of the new combined operations camp at Courtenay. The tragedy of Dieppe had come and gone, but its lessons had not gone unheeded. There was to be much hard fighting on the beaches and rocky shores of Europe. Courtenay was to be one of many Allied stations where men of all services were to learn the complexities of “Combined Operations.” Actually, the combined operations organization was a navy-army arrangement for the defence of the Pacific Coast in the event that the Japan-ese gained toeholds on Canadian shores. The idea was that 100 Landing Craft Mechanized (Wooden) were to be built by the army, manned by the navy and distributed in certain key positions between the

American and Alaskan boundaries. Basic naval training for men recruited into the Fisherman’s Reserve for Landing Craft duties was begun at William’s Head, near Esquimalt, in July, 1942. Training in conjunction with the army began late that fall when the navy was required to vacate William’s Head and so established its own camp at Courtenay. But by mid-1943, it was recognized that the Japanese threat to British Columbia no longer existed and policy therefore shifted in the direction of combined operations training for future service in Europe. As the assault craft began to concentrate in Comox Harbour, the rather primitive facilities of the camp at Courtenay were soon overtaxed. That summer “combined ops” moved to what was now a very well established naval base, HMCS Naden (II) on Goose Spit. In fact, on the Spit, “combined ops” became the primary activity, and the base was commissioned HMCS Givenchy (III) on October 1, 1943. Another event of 1943 was a representation made by local Indians seeking cash compensation from the navy for using Goose Spit. An old Indian burial ground of some 14 acres was located out towards the western end of the Spit, extending right across the Spit between the 1,000-yard firing point and the light beacon. It had been designated an Indian Reserve in 1876, and from the beginning of naval activities on the Spit in the 1890s, naval authorities, both RN and RCN, had been very much alive to the necessity of permitting no desecrations in the burial area and allowing Indian entry at all times.

Invasion Barges - Combined Ops The Indians asked for $150 yearly compensation retroactive to 1940, and offered to trade the reserve for the Seal Islands where the clam beds were the attraction. Settlement came in 1944 when the Indians signed a lease for 21 years permitting the use of the burial area by the navy. Typical of the type of training carried out at Comox was that of September, 1944, when the Midland Regiment was in Givenchy (III). These are excerpts from the Report of Proceedings: three assault craft exercised “C” Company in boat drill; six craft exercised Support and Headquarters Companies as well as “A” Company in boat drill and landing net procedure; three craft drilled “D” Company in landings on Goose Spit, four companies in nine craft practised landings on Sandy Isle; five cutters were employed teaching soldiers boat pulling. Les Fusilliers de Sherbrooke followed in October. As the war progressed into 1945, the army’s camp at Courtenay was

soon closed down and the navy no longer was required to train army personnel in combined operations. However, Givenchy (III) continued to provide training on the assault course for the men of HMC Ships. During April and May, the entire ship’s company of the anti-aircraft cruiser Prince Robert was accommodated on the Spit for specialized training while the ship was refitting for duty in the Pacific. After the war, when Givenchy at Esquimalt had been paid off and Goose Spit itself had been reduced to a status of “Care and Maintenance,” Camp Comox was usually referred to as Naden (II). But the Spit was not to stand idle for long. Back in June, 1943, sea cadets numbering 220 had camped under canvas on Goose Spit, and there were signs that they would come back again now that the RCN had a more direct interest, together with the Navy League of Canada, in the training of the cadets. In the summer of 1952, more

than 700 boys of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps from Winnipeg West camped on Goose Spit, and this program has continued each summer. On July 1, 1956, Camp Comox was once again formally commissioned as a fleet establishment of the Royal Canadian Navy. HMCS Quadra, in service during the summer months each year and carrying on its books specially chosen officers and men of the regular navy, continues to instruct the youth of Canada in seamanship and gunnery – the fine points of boatwork under oars and sail, of firing on the ranges – two activities that under ideal conditions of discipline and comradeship contribute no small part to good citizenship. While the face of Goose Spit has been changed out of all recognition, its purpose from the days of the Amphion and lmperieuse, the Egeria, the Shearwater and the Rainbow has remained very much the same these 60-odd years.

Shaw earns honours Renee Andor Record Staff

“I have no idea,” Ralph Shaw says with a laugh when asked how many honours and awards he now has. Shaw, who has been the Comox Valley Record’s outdoor and recreation columnist for years, recently added three more awards to his alreadylong list. Shaw placed third in three categories of the Northwest Outdoor Writers Association’s Excellence in Craft awards for 2012: Fishing Article-Newspaper, Hunting/Shooting-Newspaper and Column of the Year. Shaw says he is most proud of his placement in the Column of the Year category. “I really feel good about this one because it’s in a competition with everybody that writes about the outdoors with Northwest Outdoor Writers and so it’s a pretty broad competition; it covers magazines, newspapers, anything that’s printed in the organization,” he explains. Shaw, who is nearly

87, adds he enters competitions like this simply because he wants to make sure his writing is still relevant to readers. He still hunts and fishes regularly and says he feels someone who writes columns about a specialty interest area should be out there doing the activities they are writing about. He says he used to think of 87 as being “ancient” but is now realizing it’s not, noting one of his main fishing buddies is 93. “The average age of our (fishing) crew is 90 and what I find encouraging…is that I don’t think people should think about getting old,” says Shaw. “We live in a time when people can do whatever they want to do — whether it’s playing golf or sewing or cooking or gardening, it doesn’t matter — but society says if you’re able to do it, do it.” Shaw was made a member of the Order of Canada in 1984 for his devotion to aquatic habitat preservation. He received a Queen

Getting ready for a disaster Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Call him the master of disaster if you will. His name is Nicolas Meunier, a National Defence search and rescue team leader who has a masters degree in disaster and emergency management. The CFB Comox SAR Tech (Search and Rescue technician) has completed a research project with local emergency personnel about co-ordination in case of disaster in the Valley. The project examines the level of collaboration in terms of disaster response and training techniques between the base and its civilian partners. He says the research represents a paradigm shift to confirm and re-orient more than 30 disaster and emergency groups in the Valley, including CFB Comox. “It’s a brand new field,” Sgt. Meunier said after presenting his conclusions and recommendations with members of the Comox Valley Emergency Program. “What the people

start to understand is preparedness and education could save a lot of issues and a lot of struggle during the response and the recovery phase. The more you prepare the better chance you survive in a disaster.” Meunier has been deployed overseas nine times for disaster relief missions, humanitarian help, and war zone and international security in collaboration with the United Nations, NATO and governments around the world.

Isaac’s support team has many people to thank Isaac Leblanc’s family and friends have been working hard to make sure that things are in place for his return home to Courtenay from the hospital. After nearly two years of enduring hospital stays, transfers, endless tests, complicated procedures and medicines, doctors’ suggestions and unanswered questions, doctors have finally diagnosed Isaac with a rare form of multiple sclerosis called Marburg, but doctors still aren’t completely sure of the diagnosis. Those around Isaac have begun to plan for his return home from the hospital that requires, among other things, renovations of his duplex. The Comox Valley has rallied around Isaac and his mother Wendy to provide support, and to help with fundraising, volunteering, donations and more. These efforts have all been added together into the Bring Isaac Home campaign. Wendy was recently astounded by the first corporate donation from the Driftwood Mall for $3,300. This was generously given after they were approached by a friend of Isaac’s who has been volunteering to do what she can for her friend in need. Another local busi-

HOW YOU CAN HELP There is a yard and bake sale fundraiser happening for Isaac Leblanc’s campaign this Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 2105 Fitzgerald Ave., Isaac’s home. • A Go Fund Me page at www.gofundme. com/pictures is where you can donate money towards the campaign and see updates about Isaac’s progress. • Anyone wanting to donate or help can contact Wendy Leblanc at 250-218-6489.

ness that has stepped up to put forth a fundraising effort is the Bank of Montreal in Courtenay, which donated the proceeds from their most current raffle basket towards Isaac’s campaign. This was done without contacting the Leblanc family as a way for the employees and members from BMO to show Isaac they care. The total amount raised was an impressive $1,500, which exceeded all other amounts raised by charity raffle baskets that the bank has offered. In the true spirit of paying it forward we kindly acknowledge a very thoughtful donation made by a stranger who wishes to stay anonymous after he went to Dove Creek Timber and asked to work a day and a half at the facility with all of the wages being donated towards

Isaac. Rick Pizzey, owner of Dove Creek Timber, stressed how this was not a wealthy man who made this effort. A constant at Wendy’s side is her sister Debbie, who has done a tremendous amount to co-ordinate large fundraisers at the Courtenay Legion and this year on May 4 at the Elks Hall. The event on May 4 at the Elks Hall in Courtenay featured music from local musicians and entertainers. There were plenty of amazing silent auction items donated by generous businesses throughout Vancouver Island. Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula was out to celebrate the night with his wife and it was a pleasure to see all the smiling faces of people out to support this cause. Upon Isaac’s arrival we watched as he was escorted in with bagpipes playing Amaz-

Mall, Bank of Montreal Courtenay branch, Island Honda of Courtenay and Mayor Larry Jangula. Over 50 businesses have donated items both big and small for fundraisers! The fundraising goal is $25,000 and our current total is $10,300. We are wait-

ing to hear back from the government on a $25,000 grant approval, which would cut the approximate cost needed for renovations down to $20,000. Once we have been accepted and have signed off with a contractor to manage the project, we will

begin renovations and can proceed with the second phase of the campaign, which is utilizing the funds raised to prepare Isaac and his home for life outside of the hospital. — Evangeline Mathura, on behalf of Isaac Leblanc and his family

Blood donor week arrives Canadian Blood Services is asking Canadians to get Behind the Blood Signal now that the blood drop-shaped icon has been activated during National Blood Donor Week from June 10 to 16. The Blood Signal is intended to connect people to the idea of making a donation at specific times of the year when the need for blood is greatest — summer. Behind the Blood Signal was chosen as this year’s theme for National Blood Donor Week to educate more Canadians that when they see the Blood Signal, it means ‘give blood now.’ Throughout National Blood Donor Week, Canadian Blood Services is also asking Canadians to “go social” in supporting the Blood Signal by: • Visiting Mosaic Me at www.mosaicme. ca. Individuals can post pictures of themselves donating, promoting or otherwise supporting patients through blood donation that will form in the shape of the Blood Signal. • Checking www.facebook.com/CanadianBloodServices for the launch of a new Behind the Blood Signal video. Supporters are asked to “like” and “share” the video as a way of getting Behind the Blood Signal. •· Throughout the week donors are also encouraged to check in at blood donor clinics using their mobile devices as another way of showing they are getting Behind the Blood Signal. Clinics in the Comox Valley at the K’ómoks First Nation Band Hall, 3320 Comox Road, where local residents can also get Behind the Blood Signal by donating blood, include: • June 18 and 19, 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. • June 20, 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. “During National Blood Donor Week, make a plan to get behind the Blood Signal, because hospital patients in this community rely on your generosity,” said Chris Barron, partnership specialist with Canadian Blood Services. This year, patients at more than 400 hospitals nationwide and 86 hospitals in the B.C. and Yukon region are depending on blood donors to help save or improve their lives from trauma, disease and other illness. To book an appointment, go online to www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Making an appointment now will help lay the foundation for strong blood collections this summer. — Canadian Blood Services

THE MAIDENS OF the Rainbow raised $8,345 at the Relay for Life last weekend.

Maidens assisted by rainbow power The Maidens of the Rainbow team began when Sara’s mom, Fran McGuckin, was in her final stages of cancer in February. Sara read in the newspaper about Relay for Life, which gave her a way to fight cancer. By calling on friends, the team came

together in no time. Each of the team members has been affected one way or another by different cancers. At last weekend’s Relay for Life at the Vanier Track, they each wore a colour that represents the cancer that affected them — and that made up a

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Thursday, June 13, 2013

Students use paddles

THE COMOX VALLEY Dragonflies finished second overall at the Sproat Lake Ladies Regatta dragon boat festival.

The Grade 3-4 class at the Saltwater School in Courtenay had their second annual paddle in a dragon boat with some experienced paddlers from the Comox Valley Dragonflies. The Saltwater School with its Waldorf based program, has daily nature experiences with the children. The dragon boat paddle is one of their year-end outings. During the session on the dragon boat, the children were taught how to sit, hold the paddle when paddling or when resting, and how to follow the lead stroke. They were also taught how to follow instructions including the different calls from the leader. Their outing also included playing games and practis-

ing styles such as ripple paddling. The Comox Valley Dragonflies are a dragon boat team based in the Comox Valley. They practise twice a week during the racing season and on Saturdays during the off-season. The Dragonflies started as a recreational team in 2003 and now compete in four or five events on Vancouver Island through the racing season. For more information, see cvdragonflies.ca. The Saltwater School is at 2311 Rosewall Cres. in the Tin Town area of Courtenay. For more information, call 250-871-7777, e-mail info@SaltwaterSchool.com, or visit www.SaltwaterSchool.com. — Saltwater School

Dragonboating off to good start was to paddle even faster for a personal best time. As the wind picked up, the races were started earlier than scheduled but the Dragonflies were ready to go. The team gained momentum early off the start and was soaring to the finish line when the boat beside them experienced some tilling problems and briefly collided. Leprechaun intervention? The race time wasn’t fast enough to beat Stroke of Luck’s accumulative time so the Dragonflies settled for second place in the 11-team event. Thanks to Port Alberni paddlers, organizers and volunteers for a fun and successful festival that the Dragonflies enjoy attending each year. — Comox Valley Dragonflies

The Comox Valley Dragonflies arrived June 9 at the Sproat Lake Ladies Regatta dragon boat festival in high spirits, fancy green outfits and shamrock tent decor for this year’s theme Luck of the Irish. The first race of 300 metres went smoothly, with all 19 paddlers in sync, winning by seven seconds over Welly Waveriders and Blazing Paddles. They had achieved the third best time of 1:36.84. With the Martin Mars water bomber in the background, the second race started strongly with the Dragonflies pulling ahead and beating Ladies of the Lake and Angels Abreast by over three seconds with a time of 1:37.53. The four new paddlers were especially ecstatic to find the team in second place. The pot of gold challenge for the third race

Take a close look at what’s growing in the Apothecary Garden at Innisfree Farm, where the herb beds are planted according to the body systems they help to heal – heart, lungs, kidneys and so on. Medical herbalist Chanchal Cabrera will share facts about the botany, history, medicinal uses and scientific research for the abundance of herbs that thrive in the garden, from common weeds like mullein and burdock, to Chinese transplants such as astragalus and forsythia, to European imports like deadly nightshade and milk thistle. Sample, ask questions, enjoy the beauty of the farm on a summer evening. The Herb Walk will be held June 19 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Participants may want to bring a hat and water bottle if the weather is sunny. Innisfree Farm is at 3636 Trent Rd. in Royston. For details, call 250-336-8767 or go to www.chanchalcabrera.com under Classes & Workshops, Herb Walks 2013. — Innisfree Farm

Turkey vultures’ eating habits quite gross to watch It is always rewarding when we can successfully rehabilitate wildlife patients, as many of the cases admitted to the MARS wildlife centre are beyond help by the time they arrive. Last week saw the return of two patients that were rescued and have spent almost a year in captivity. Initially both birds were treated for their injuries and then sent to OWL, another wildlife centre in Ladner, where they spent several months rebuilding their strength and flight muscles in large flight pens. Turkey vultures are not regular guests at MARS, which is fortunate as some of their eating habits are quite gross to watch! These vultures are a common sight in the early summer skies as they soar on the air currents, keeping a nose out for their dinner. Often mistaken for bald eagles, vultures are actually members of the stork family. They were known to the Cherokee First Nations as “peace eagles,” a reflection of their non-aggressive nature. They have neither talons nor a hooked beak capable of killing or tearing apart prey; in fact they do not kill their prey at all. Turkey vultures have many unique characteristics some of which are quite repulsive but at the same time serve a useful purpose. Vultures do not rely on their eyesight like raptors to locate their food; they are scavengers by nature and eat rotting carrion or vegetation. To detect their food they rely on an enhanced sense of smell and can locate the rotting food by detecting gasses released by the decaying meat. A featherless head is thought to have evolved to prevent feather rot a condition that occurs when feathers collect food particles and cannot be preened clean; vultures feed by putting their heads inside the carcass which would definitely result in feather rot! When seen in flight it is difficult to determine the eagle from the vulture, an easy way to tell is by the way they hold their wings when soaring on the air currents. A vulture holds its wings in a V formation with the leading flight feathers

held apart; eagles hold their wings straight out. The turkey vulture’s main diet consists of meat from mammals or fish and they do also eat vegetation. These

birds have an extremely efficient digestive system, which protects them from catching any disease the rotting food may carry. Once the food is digested, their waste material is sterilized and free from diseases. Nothing is wasted by these birds, which are sometimes known as “sanitizers of the desert.” They find unique ways to regulate their

body temperature making sure no one intrudes on their meal. Like the stork family, vultures will use their waste materials to cool them off in hot weather; they urinate or defecate on their legs which cools them by evaporation. Meals are protected by the bird vomiting on the food making it very unappetizing for an unwanted dinner

After a stroke, try to focus on your strengths I was going to write about stroke prevention for today’s column. Then I met Ben. Ben is a 44-year-old father, self-made cook and a community support worker. Ben had a stroke in 2008 at age 37; his kids were 12, 9, 6 at the time of his stroke. I met Ben through my work with the Stroke Recovery Association of BC; he is the regional director for Vancouver Island. He was the opening speaker at the Stroke Recovery Education Day in Nanaimo on Saturday. Ben admits he was reluctant to acknowledge things were different after his stroke. Physically, he was left with limited mobil-

ity and lost the use of one hand. The aftermath of the stroke put stress on his marriage. Five years later, Ben lives a different life. He still goes through life onehanded but having spent a day with him setting up and taking down for the event, it wasn’t something he dwells on. Ben just gets on with it and does what needs doing. He would be the first to admit there are other challenges. He fatigues more easily and it takes him longer to process information. Ben was able to find a network of strength and inspiration to overcome the challenges he faced. Other stroke survivors gave him the practical

knowledge he needed to apply to his daily routine. His family continues to support him through his recovery. He found himself back on the golf course practising his swing again, an activity he thought he would have to give up for good after the stroke. He believes stroke survivors will face successes and frustrations. He encourages people to keep moving forward and focus on their strengths rather than

dwelling on limitations. According to a 2013 poll with Canadians by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, half of Canadians knew of a family member or friend affected by stroke. Twenty per cent said they were actively involved in caring for and supporting someone affected by stroke. Yet, close to 35 per cent of respondents still hold the belief that recovery from a stroke is limited to the first few months. I think they need to meet Ben. Knowledge about stroke recovery has expanded and evolved over the years. We know so much more than we did even a decade ago. It was accepted that once the six-month mark

Cleanup of B.C. MLAs’ expenses must continue VICTORIA — As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a line-by-line review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year. Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the past year, thanks mainly to the work of nowdeparted Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobweb-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the com-

mittee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses. Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year. Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses

Politics

Tom

Fletcher were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either. I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable. A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to

sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber. Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV reporter and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour. This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all

sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle. Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts. Cheers! Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure.

B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum. As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others. It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

Prepare your kids for Debit machine fraud in Nanaimo summer job expenses Carla Hindman

Director of financial education, Visa Canada

High school, college and university students hoping to find temporary jobs may be in for a tough time this summer – once again – as they compete with older, more experienced workers in a still-struggling economy. But if your son or daughter is fortunate enough to find work, there are a few things he or she – and you – should know about the economic and tax ramifications of temporary employment: •Payroll deductions: If this is their first job, warn your kids about common payroll deductions that can take a big bite out of take-home pay. Common culprits may include federal and provincial income taxes, the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and

Employment Insurance (EI). Depending on the type of job, they may also be deducted for health plans, uniforms and union dues. •Self-employed status: Many teens start their working careers by being self-employed, doing part-time jobs like babysitting, yard work or housekeeping. It’s important to know that this income is also subject to income tax. According to 2012 Canada Revenue Agency guidelines, all selfemployment income should be filed as part of the student’s income tax return. If their selfemployment net earnings exceeds $500 from one payer, that payer is required to issue a T4A slip, to be included in the income tax filing. The Canadian Revenue Agency provides a handy guide called Students and Income Tax that explains what

types of income are and are not taxable (www.cra-arc.gc.ca). For example, tips, bank account interest and certain scholarshippaid expenses such as room and board must be reported as taxable income. •RRSP contributions: Retirement is probably the last thing on your teenager’s mind, but you should know that they are allowed to open and contribute to an RRSP each year. If you or the grandparents want to make a down payment on your kid’s future, consider funding a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to save for post-secondary education.

Local merchants are warned to be vigilant after a debit machine fraud surfaced last week in Nanaimo. Several stores have had fraudulent transactions carried out that have netted thieves several thousand dollars. Several males and at least one female are involved and only small businesses with one or two clerks are being targeted. One suspect approaches the clerk and begins to make a small purchase. He uses a debit card and once it is inserted into the portable debit machine, the second suspect attempts to distract the clerk. This allows the first suspect to enter the store’s generic merchant authorization code, which he knows. The original purchase is then canceled and he quickly rips off the printed copy. With the clerk still distracted he refunds between $100 and $1,000 into his debit account. Once

Dealing with a slow summer Nancy Harris Senior vice-president and general manager, Sage 50 Accounting–Canadian Edition

Ebbing workflow levels are not uncommon for small businesses and entrepreneurs. This is especially true during the summer months, even if you have a yearround business. A lull during the summer can be tough on your cash register. Unfortunately, the nicer summer heat is often paired with customers on vacation, homes full of children and obligations, or a lower income. While some may accept the relaxed summer months and take it as an extended break, this is also a great opportunity to

capitalize on spare time. The following ideas and activities are just a few ways in which you can turn the long, and potentially slow, summer into an opportunistic and progressive season: • Reconnect with customers. While you may not be thrilled to see your customers spending less time with you this summer, try to rekindle or build your relationship with them by catching up during the cheery summer months. • Get your finances in order. Yes, the one task we all love to hate. • Research for creativity. We hate to admit it, but sometimes we can get stuck in a silo of repetitive thoughts and it can

be difficult to continually come up with new ideas or think outside of the box. • Get social. Social media that is. If you’ve been fearful or uncertain of social media channels like Facebook and Twitter, now is the time to familiarize yourself with them.

• Attack a project. We all have a list of projects with no immediate due dates that we keep putting off. Take advantage of a quiet, lengthy summer to check a few tasks off this list, and be ready to pick up the pace again once the summer lull is over.

I LIVE HERE in the beautiful Comox

Valley and as a member of this community I am writing this letter to express my concerns about the safety of both pedestrians and motorists at the intersection of Ryan and Lerwick roads. Over the past few years I have had the occasion to witness many high-risk situations at this intersection. In observing the manner in which vehicles approach the area, I have noticed that there is a tendency for vehicles to increase road speed as they go up Ryan Road. These same vehicles will on many occasions, go through a late yellow or red light. This places many pedestrians and motorists at a great risk. I am suggesting that a solution to this situation would be the installation of traffic lights at the entrance to North Island College on Ryan Road. This would help to slow traffic and possibly greatly reduce this risk-taking driving behaviour. I have had the occasion to witness numerous accidents over the past six months alone that greatly increase my anxiety while driving in this area, so much so that I have chosen to take an alternate route. This is a wonderful community filled with a number of wonderful and caring people and I feel we should take as much action as is needed to keep our families and community members safe.

and you get paged for an emergency, or decide to leave the store for some other reason, please leave your shopping cart with a store clerk. In Costco, I came across a load of someone’s frozen veggies, fresh meats, and other foods that are supposed to be kept cold, that had been left in an aisle for at least 20 minutes. Unfortunately, because the clerks don’t know how long full abandoned carts have been left they have to throw the food away. And this ends up making everyone else’s food bill higher.

time to publish the abusers. We crossreference with these properties and you would be surprised where these people work. I say no more. These peoples’ properties will be posted with pictures and addresses and now will have to give the rest of this community a good explanation why their yards look pristine and our yards look dead! Being huge green gardeners we wonder again why does the City employ these huge street cleaners to wash our streets and alleys. Absolutely stupid. I don’t know why all the residents put up with this! Also the thousands of gallons of water that is used to water all the flowers in this Mile of Flowers is also stupid and absurd when we are trying to conserve water. People vacationing to this Valley do not come here to look at the flowers. It is nice when you get here but it is not a big attraction! The City of Courtenay is always looking how to get another dollar out of the taxpayers — how about fining these properties? We as a community are trying to go green and grow all our own food to survive the way we are supposed to. We can’t with such stupid watering laws.

Court ruling a blow against multiple hats One has to wonder when B.C. Court of Appeal judges volunteered in their community? If they did, they would understand there is an extremely short supply of individuals who willingly give up their own time to help organizations around them. And it’s increasingly difficult to get people to lend a hand as life seems to get busier. So what did the B.C. Court of Appeals do? They have made it more difficult for groups to attract volunteers by declaring that elected officials are in conflict of interest when participating in a non-profit society that receives civic funding. In Enderby, there has already been one casualty as Coun. Brad Case has resigned from his role with the chamber of commerce. That’s unfortunate as Case brought a wealth of business and community experience to the chamber. And, in turn, he could provide knowledge about the chamber’s inner workings to his council colleagues. Many communities, and particularly small ones, don’t have the luxury of differentiating between people who sit on municipal council or regional district and those who volunteer with a service agency or business group. Often multiple hats are worn. Yes conflict of interest can occur but there is provincial legislation that clearly outlines the guidelines. And the simple solution is for a politician not to be involved in the discussion on a group they belong to, particularly if that organization receives public funding. The provincial government needs to review the court ruling and make changes to legislation to ensure conflicts are avoided while allowing volunteerism to continue. — Victoria News

Record Question of the Week This week: Twenty-two per cent of respondents said they will follow the progress of the 2013 Black Press Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race. Next week: Is splitting Cumberland into two federal ridings a good idea? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll. Moving the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market mid-week event into downtown Courtenay is a worthwhile experiment that might aid nearby merchants.

Cumberland being split into two federal ridings would be wrong. Just as bad is Courtenay council’s bland reaction to something it fought against itself.

How much is a tree worth? Dear editor, I am writing to urge Courtenay council to consider the inadequacy of current bylaws governing land development and tree retention. Developers pay only $5 to take down a tree (and sell the log), and that money apparently goes into general revenue, not an environmental fund. When trees come down, cities lose significant economic assets. Google the value of urban trees and find numbers that range as high as $100,000 per tree over a century, as trees blunt climate change, protect soil and water quality, help prevent flooding and increase property values. • According to Growing Greener Cities, a book published in 1992 by the American Forestry Association, a single tree provides $73 worth of air conditioning, $75 worth of erosion control, $75 worth of wildlife shelter, and $50 worth of air pollution reduction. Compounding this total of $273 for 50 years at five-per-cent interest results in a tree value of $57,151. (Utah State University Forestry Co-operative Extension website What is a Tree Worth?). • Neighbourhood street trees increased the combined value of homes within 100 feet by $12,828. (Pacific Northwest Research Station Science Findings, September 2010). Current bylaws attempt to save some on-site trees, but this is not always feasible, particularly since there is no requirement for the posting of a bond to pay an arborist to maintain the long-term health of trees left in a development setback. Because trees may take years to show damage from injury during construction, changes in groundwater levels or a new vulnerability to wind, it may be better to replant or conserve elsewhere, after an effort has been made to save any particularly magnificent trees. For example, according to the public file, on the new Thrifty Foods lot, the 32 trees that were

to be retained became vulnerable to blowdown when the other 622 trees were logged, leading to their removal at BC Hydro’s request; but their fate had probably already been sealed. Requirements laid out in the tree-clearing permit — for the protection of their roots in a Root Protection Zone (RPZ) and maintenance of the surrounding natural grade and drainage — were apparently ignored when an excavator crushed and ripped roots in the RPZ, and drainage

Developers cannot ❝ claim to be carbon neutral

or environmentally friendly unless they replace the carbon sequestering ability of the trees that were removed.

and grade changes near the trees were planned. Retention of a smaller grove not vulnerable to blowdown was declined to level the transition grade between road and site, with the stated expectation of significant tree replacements and possible Hydro planting funds. Thrifty Foods was also to plant 150 new trees adjacent to the northeast residential area. Has this all been done? Developers cannot claim to be carbon neutral or environmentally friendly unless they replace the carbon sequestering ability of the trees that were removed. On the hospital site, 50 trees were retained and 829 trees removed, and although VIHA has commendably committed to planting over 1,000 new trees onsite, they will be in a thin strip perhaps vulnerable to blowdown, and unable to attain a great size. The trees will be both useful and scenic, and certainly developments should be landscaped with trees wherever possible;

but VIHA?s claim that a young tree absorbs carbon faster than a larger tree does not consider the broader issue, as scientific consensus seems to be that more carbon is sequestered in the long run by an established, longerliving, larger-growing species. Certainly for wildlife, a small tree in a parking lot can’t match a larger tree in a wooded area with food sources and cover from predators. Despite being a major stakeholder in the area — with a draft master plan’s objectives of protecting songbird habitat and wildlife corridors — North Island College apparently has no tree replacement or preservation policies. Although they have just sold 11 acres of land to the hospital, they have not set aside any corresponding greenbelts, and plan to develop all the remaining wooded 49 acres. Walking trails through a conservation area on campus would provide solace for hospital visitors, surely as important as a good cafeteria. In exchange for the right to build, developers should contribute to the host town’s sustainable planning strategies. Rather than $5 a tree, the City should require developers make a meaningful contribution to a green fund, to which the community could also contribute. It would be an elegant gesture on the part of Crown Isle to provide an initial grant for this fund, as a consideration for the tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of trees it has removed in the area, particularly the logging of the sensitive Lannan Forest, headwaters of the salmon-bearing Brooklyn Creek. Perhaps Thrifty, Home Depot, Costco and Courtenay Toyota would also contribute “seed” money, and certainly all the funds ever received from the $5 tree removal fee, as well as the Hydro funds, should be transGillian Anderson, ferred in.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Thursday, June 13, 2013

Still no evidence of GMO damage Dear editor, Food has become a passionate subject. The reality of food production is virtually all food is genetically modified by mankind. We call it agriculture. After reading a few of the critics of GMOs in this paper, I felt it was time to write. I have been involved with GMO research for over a decade. Unfortunately the Internet

is full of pseudo-science designed to generate fear, not to educate. Most people are not trained in the science and are unable to differentiate the pseudoscience from the real science. The real science says: The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than

25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than conventional plant-breeding technologies. Now, after 25 years of field trials without evidence of harm, fears continue to trigger the Precautionary Principle. But we need to abandon this know-

ingly one-sided stance and strike a balance between the advantages and disadvantages of the technology on the basis of scientifically sound risk assessment analysis. Moreover, the AAAS Board said, the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, and every other respected

Thanks from Tory candidate Dear editor, In the wake of our recent provincial election and the final vote count, on behalf of the Comox Valley Conservative Constituency Association and myself, I’d like to thank the various local media, the reporters and newspapers for their work and effort in the coverage of the elections last month. Especially, I want to thank the voters of the Comox Valley for their participation in our democratic process. The people did what they said they would: vote Liberals to avoid

Something’s wrong Dear editor, Now let’s get this straight! A defeated member of the legislature may receive up to 15 month’s pay totalling $101,859, which is $6,790 per month until she/he finds a job and even then any salary/ wage earned is topped up to reach $101,000 annually. (Times-Colonist, June 5). We have employment insurance — other job losers receive payments, depending on their work record after a waiting period of six weeks, for a limited time. Why are defeated MLAs not treated as any other worker? Our citizens who have disabilities, mental or physical, receive housing

and living benefits which are minuscule compared with this largesse. A just society should give a level playing field to allow all citizens to reach their potential. This legislative payout, combined with the Senate expense shenanigans in Ottawa and the politicians’ pensions are offensive, even obscene. Perhaps having our representatives receive the median wage level during office and EI benefits on defeat would bring everyday reality into their lives and the legislative actions they take. Political office should be public service and not a cushy job for life. Joy Johnston, Comox

a good number of folks voting for the Conservative ideals and policies. In the Comox Valley, we came up second on the Island for Conservative votes after ParksvilleQualicum. Nothing to be discouraged about, locally or provincially, considering we are a new grassroots party contesting its first election. We are committed to learning from this recent election experience and continue to build a better and stronger party.

To all those 1,740 who voted Conservative, I’d like to invite you to contact me for a post-election analysis of our results and resolves for the future by checking my website at http:// mlacandidatebcconservativecomoxvalley. blogspot.ca.

If people are truly interested in the real science of GM crops and food my website has articles for the general public with no jargon, links to world experts and links to the critics.

Webster’s speaks of compassion as the “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.” Webster’s speaks of pity as sympathetic sorrow for one suffering, distressed or unhappy.” The difference? Compassion includes the desire to do something. Compassion moves you to action. In that sense to speak of “compassionate action” is almost (but not quite) redundant. For some reason, many seem to speak of compassion as if it were the same as pity. But the two are quite different. Compassion is walking a mile in another’s shoes, or recognizing that we too have walked in those same shoes. Pity is feeling sorry for someone who walks in shoes we may never know or want to know. Compassion is about community. Pity is removed, almost a kind of arrogance. In the simplest sense, compassion is activity, pity is passive. It is really no more complex than that. A Cherokee story recounts a grandfather saying to his grandson, “Each of us has two wolves battling within us.” The grandson looks down at himself and then back at his grandfather and with eyes wide asks, “What are these wolves?” “One wolf is compassion, generosity, joy and love.” “And what is the other wolf?” “The other wolf is greed, jealousy, vengeance and hatred. Both wolves were born within you when you were born. And they are constantly fighting.” “Which wolf wins?” asks the wide-eyed grandchild. “The one you feed.” Edited excerpt, with permission, from The Interfaith Alternative: Embracing Spiritual Diversity, by Steven Greenebaum, published by New Society Publishers.

Farmers featuring early veggies This Saturday the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market will host the second monthly Food Fest. Building on the success of ‘prawn fest’ last month, this month’s feature is Early Veggies. With the onset of the scape season, green garlic will play a strong role in the samples created by local chef and grower Laura Agnew from As You Like It catering and product line. Laura is passionate about local food and creating fresh and dynamic flavours from seasonally available local herbs and veggies. What is a scape anyway? Basically they are the “flower stalks” of hardneck garlic plants, although they do not

Complete the day for Africa by taking in the touring art show at the Muir Gallery at 440 Anderton Ave. This multi-media show illustrates the small triumphs and moments of hope in the lives of African grandmothers and their grandchildren who have been affected by the AIDS pandemic. The gallery will be open daily from June

comes in. With their popularity on the rise, scapes are now common produce at most local farmers’ markets. Scapes appeared last week at the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market to the delight of those who are familiar with them. But buy them when you see them since the season is very, very short. Chef Laura will use scapes to complement the various early veggies that are available at the market this month including salad greens, peas, strawberries, early beets and carrots. Tastings and recipes will be on hand as well as growing advice and lots of inspiration from your local farmers. — Comox Valley Farmers’ Market

produce flowers. These stalks start to appear a month or so after the first leaves. They are usually cut off of the plant, since leaving them on diverts the plant’s strength away from forming a plump bulb. If left on, they eventually form small bulbils that can be planted to grow more garlic, but it takes two to three years for them to form large bulbs. Many gardeners simply toss their scapes in the compost, but garlic scapes are not only beautiful, but edible and delicious, as are the bulbils. Harvest them while they are still curly and tender and use them as you would chives, or garlic either fresh steamed or sautéed. Don’t grow garlic? That’s where the market

SCHEWE

Collisions acceptable for ICBC Collisions have not been required by law to be reported to the police for quite some time now. In many municipalities today the police don’t even attend collisions unless someone has been hurt or killed. Instead, the fire department may show up and the firefighters help participants exchange information and clear the scene. There are no traffic tickets issued to offenders who cause minor injury and property damage collisions when this is the case. ICBC tells me that it cannot provide complete and accurate collision information for the province because the police no longer report collisions. Don’t you find it odd that the agency charged with collision reduction doesn’t have a clear picture of the scope of the problem? No doubt you have heard the proverb, “Look after the pennies and the dollars will look after themselves.” Can we afford to ignore collisions that through fortune didn’t turn out to be serious? I asked ICBC and the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles how many collisions a driver had to cause before some corrective action was taken if the driver was not ticketed. The Superintendent directed me to ICBC and ICBC said that a prohibition from driving could result, but it would be based on the driver’s record of violations. Retesting or mandatory training were not commented on. It appears to me that minor collisions are becoming just another acceptable risk that we assume when we drive on B.C. roads. For more information on this topic, visit w w w. d r i v e s m a r t b c. ca. Questions or comments are welcome by e-mail to comments@ drivesmartbc.ca.

These boys have the blues

COMOX VALLEY MUSICIAN Kel Kelly plays this Saturday at Innisfree Farm in Royston.

Kelly playing at farm Kel Kelly has been taking his latest batch of songs on the road for the past month, playing small halls and living rooms. His roving show will land at Innisfree Farm in Royston this Saturday night. Featuring Kel and his guitars, the show entitled Heart Aches is “an intimate look at the various ways the heart can ache. Sometimes the heart aches because it is sore and hurting, sometimes it aches with longing for things we love, sometimes it aches with joy,” he says. For the past 15 years, Kel and his partner, Peggy Carswell, have been living part of every year in the remote northeast frontier of India, developing organic agriculture training centres and helping small growers get their teas to market. All the while, he has continued to pursue his love of music, for many years playing with local rockers Fly-

ing Debris and for the past several years locking himself away in his music room with his guitars, pen and paper. The result is a growing list of original songs. Always personal and often political, the songs cover subjects from lullabies for babies, odes to frisky granddaughters, love for his partner, to the political turmoil of the world he lives in, the world of insurgency, community organizing and Canadian politics. “I hope my music will leave people moved in some way,” he says. “I’m really looking forward to sharing my songs in these local communities that I know and love.” Kel’s next local show is this Saturday at the Innisfree Farm on Trent Road in Royston. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be reserved by calling Thierry at 250-336-8768. As seating is limited, reservations are recommended. — Kel Kelly

In the U.S. they’ve got Keb Mo’, Sweden has Eric Bibb and here in Canada we have Brandon Isaak. Isaak and Keith Picot play June 15 at 8 p.m. at the Venue Formerly Known as Joe’s Garage in Courtenay. Isaak showcases his love for acoustic blues, a vintage “lo-fi” sound and simple arrangements on Bluesman’s Plea. It’s traditional guitar blues and it appeals to the soul as well as the ear. What’s even more impressive is that Isaak isn’t serving up old songs. These are all new, original songs written by Isaak. They ‘play’ out like a biography, which is exactly what they are. True stories of love, life and death and a few stops, bumps and revelations along the way. It’s Isaak’s life set to blues, gospel, ragtime and country sounds. Individually, Brandon is a prolific songwriter and has been nominated for a Maple Blues Award for Song Writer of the Year. He is also a world-class musician who plays guitar, harmonica, washboard, jug, kazoo and, most recently, banjo. Brandon is a great storyteller with a quick wit and keen sense of humour that is evident in his shows.

Isaak is best known as a frontman and songwriter for the Canadian jump band, The Twisters based out of Vancouver. He has performed with some of his favourite musicians and influences: Corey Harris, Guy Davis, Taj Mahal, Colin Linden, Jeff Healey, Joe Lewis Walker and Kenny Wayne to mention a few. Isaak and Keith Picot formed a duo in January 2012. However, they have known and performed with each other in the Twisters. They got together to play the music they love. Unforgettable is what a performance by standup bassist Keith Picot is. With a hardhitting slap style all his own, he can drive a beat like the devil, then equally and effortlessly draw out the sweet tones of a saint. In 2011 he won a Maple Blues Award as Canada’s Best Bass Player. Isaak and Picot were Western Canadian Music Award 2012 nominees for Best Blues Album. They perform June 15 at 8 p.m. at the Venue Formerly Known as Joe’s Garage in Courtenay. Because of limitations set out in the rules for the special-occasions license, tickets must be pur-

chased in advance at Bop City Records. This show is sponsored by the Society For Artistic Develop-

ment Comox Valley. For details, phone 250-702-6456. — Venue Formerly Known as Joe’s Garage

Another sea saga

THIS DAVID WONG book describes how Chinese people moved to North America (Gold Mountain) to seek their fortunes.

Tale told in graphic novel

David Wong is a Vancouver-based architect, Asian-Canadian community activist and author, with a passion for his Chinese heritage. This passion has been translated into a gripping 240-page graphic novel (comic book), Escape from Gold Mountain: A Graphic History of the Chinese in North America. Escape to Gold Mountain is the first graphic novel to tell the story of Chinese immigration to Canada and the U.S. over the past 150 years. That tale begins with the emigration of Chinese to Gold Mountain (the Chinese colloquialism for North America) in the 1800s, which resulted in decades of discrimination, subjugation, and separation from loved ones. Based on historical documents and interviews with elders, Escape to Gold Mountain is also the epic

story of the Wong family as they traverse these challenges with hope and determination, creating an immigrant’s legacy in their new home of North America. The Cumberland Museum and Archives invites you to join David Wong on June 20 at 7 p.m. at the Riding Fool Hostel, as he presents his beautiful comic book style drawings, and speaks to the Chinese immigrant experience as part of the museum’s annual Miners’ Memorial Weekend. The Community Connect event is by donation and recommended for ages 10+. This is an important story for all young North Americans. Make it a meaningful family outing! To find out more about this and other Cumberland Museum events, visit www.cumberlandmuseum.ca/ events. — Cumberland Museum and Archives

Sean Thomas Russell is well known as the creator of the 18th century naval adventures of master and commander Charles Haydn in his bestselling novel Under Enemy Colors. On June 18 at 6:30 p.m., he will bring his latest novel to the Courtenay Library. Take, Burn or Destroy is Haydn’s third adventure at sea, this time at the height of the French Revolution when the British are desperate for a victory to restore confidence in their campaign. Storms and battles at sea are offset by Hadyn’s own inner turmoils. Kirkus Reviews states that Russell is incredibly skilled at crafting these seafaring adventures and that Take, Burn or Destroy is a vivid adventure not to be missed by fans of pirates and naval strategy or by history buffs. Russell grew up with a love of reading and a view out his bedroom window over Lake Ontario. “That view was

Audiences on the Island and Lower Mainland said, “it is courageous...honest...bold”, “We all need to see this...” and “This play changed me.”

Lori Mazey’s play about homophobia and school and community bullying has been presented to over 4,000 people in school and community performances. It has been acclaimed by students, teachers, school administrators and the general public for its clear message about what we need to do to protect our youth from homophobic hate.

What people are saying about “Torn Rainbow” “These are everyday youth, taking their time to try helping others their own age. The play is real, authentic and inspiring. The audience was moved, very engaged... I know that I can share their sentiment when I say this was amazing!” RCMP Constable Tad Milmine - BullyingEndsHere.ca “I have just seen ‘Torn Rainbow’ Lori Mazey’s play being done at and by Vanier High School students. It is good, the issues of bullying are dealt with effectively. As a community, we need to support this kind of effort on our behalf. This play is worth seeing, it is worth supporting.” Chris Bruels

BANBRIDGE, Northern Ireland — To most travellers who love Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre and the other novels of the Brontë sisters, the Brontë Parsonage Museum in the west Yorkshire village of Haworth is the mecca. But the story didn’t start there. It began in Ireland, in rural County Down, and now fans can visit what is called the Brontë Homeland. It’s an auto tour, clearly signposted with brown shingles, along a 16-kilometre circuit south and east of Banbridge and in the shadow of the famous Mountains of Mourne. This is where Patrick Brunty (the name change came later) taught school (and romanced one of his students!) and preached his first sermon after he was ordained in 1807. “Patrick was a very talented man in his own right. The girls got the talent from the father; it was in the genes,” says Jason Diamond of Banbridge District Council, who helps publicize the tour. “Here’s a man who came from a tworoom stone cottage in Ireland and he produced not one but three of the greatest authors in the canon of famous literature.” There was Emily Brontë, author of Wuthering Heights; Charlotte, the most prolific of the sisters (Jane Eyre and three other novels); and Anne (The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey). All were born in Yorkshire after Patrick was appointed to the parish of Haworth there (and changed the spelling of

his surname). One of the schoolhouses where Patrick taught, at Drumballyroney, has been restored to its late 18th-century appearance. There’s a blackboard, desks and mannequins of a teacher and students. Nearby is the church where Patrick preached his first sermon after returning from his university schooling in Cambridge. The original Glascar School, where Patrick first taught, was long ago replaced by a more modern building. As we view it, Diamond tells how Patrick was dismissed from his post there because he and a student had become too fond of each other. Not as serious as it seems, however, for Diamond explains that the girl was a senior

and just two years younger than her 20-year-old teacher. Our next stop is the cottage, still standing, that was the childhood home of Patrick’s mother, Alice McClory. Her parents disapproved of the romance so she and Hugh Brunty eloped. On, lastly, to the Brunty birthplace. Only the ruins of the two-roomed cottage in a glen at Emdale exist now.

Go ahead. Forego lunch. Save your appetite for a sumptuous dinner at the Plantation House Restaurant on the Hawaiian island of Maui. You won’t be disappointed. My table overlooked the golf course. Golf carts meandered to and fro. A lone golfer sank a long putt. An omen about the dinner to come? Perhaps. White egrets fluttered noiselessly across the lawn. In the distance, waves splashed on the shore. Not much of a drinker, I ordered what some guys refer to as a “sissy drink,” one of those fruit drinks with the umbrella. With a minimum of liquor. Pineapple punch (Bacardi rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and lime juice) did the trick. I cut the effects of the alcohol with a glass of sparkling water. The herbed bread that arrived was soft, warm and yummy. I spread on lots of butter and sat back to inhale the aromas of delicacies arriving at the tables around me. The warm evening breeze encouraged romantic thoughts. Unfortunately, I was alone. But that allowed more attention to the sensations I would experience while eating. I’ve been known to close my eyes while enjoying my food. I began with Hawai-

ian-style prawns. Sweet and spicy. If you like your tongue to tingle, you’d love these scampi. Crunchy and done just right. Great restaurants usually have surprise treats between courses. Plantation House didn’t disappoint. Toasted oblongs of bread, arugula, tomatoes, blue cheese and sauce. For a main course, I went with their angus beef filet mignon, with truffle mashed potatoes, shallot foie gras butter and a blackber-

Top young road cyclists shine at provincials Youth road cycling in British Columbia took a giant step forward this past weekend (June 8-9) in the Comox Valley, where the first-ever BC Provincial Youth Road Cycling Championships with full U19/U17/U15/U13 male and female categories were held. The race, organized by the VIPYRS (Vancouver Island Performance Youth Racing Squad) and sanctioned by Cycling BC, attracted 65 registrants from across B.C. as well as riders from U Kon Echelon, a youth club from Whitehorse, Yukon. The weekend started Saturday morning with the Road Race on a 16.6 km. course along meandering country roads in the pastoral Dove Creek area. Following the Road Race, athletes had a few hours to prepare for the gruelling Hill Climb – really a misnomer as it took place on the Mt. Washington Parkway – truly a mountain climb with an elevation change of 600 metres over the 10km course, with grades reaching 14 per cent. To make the challenge even more difficult, Mother Nature enveloped the upper portion of the course in thick cloud, which gave the race a surreal feeling as shadowy riders could be glimpsed climbing through the mist. Immediately following the Hill Climb, more than 100 athletes and families alike were treated to a delicious lasagne dinner at the Vancouver Island Mountain Sports Centre. The following morning B.C.’s best young riders were at it again – this time taking on the challenging Criterium course in the heart of downtown Courtenay. The closed course featured multiple right and left turns of varying types and a challenging hill sec-

THE MANY IMPRESSIVE performances by local competitors on the weekend included VIPYRS’ Jess Reynolds (left) of the Comox Valley sweeping the BC Provincial Road Race, Hill Climb and Criterium championships in the Girls U15 category.

Following the Criterium everyone made their way to the Centennial Pavilion at Simms Park where the provincial championship medals were awarded, followed by an omnium-style prize podium for the top finishers in each classification, complete with champag ... er ... fizzy sparkling apple juice for a rather wet but fun conclusion to the event! Two of the obvious standout performances of the weekend were turned in by dEVo Tessa Pinckston

(U19 Girls) and VIPYRS Jess Reynolds (U15 Girls) who swept their divisions to lay claim to a special trifecta – the BC Provincial Road Race, Hill Climb and Criterium championships in the same year. Also turning in top performances were VIPYRS Mark Grant (U15 Boys) who won the Criterium championship and shared the Road Race championship in a dead heat with teammate Josiah Ney as well as claiming a bronze in the Hill Climb. Ney won the Hill Climb championship

before leaving for Victoria to win his division in the Victoria Youth Triathlon the next day. Full race results are available online at www. vipyrsracing.com. The significance of the weekend for the future of road cycling in B.C. is found in the purpose of the race weekend. In his opening remarks at the podium ceremony, VIPYRS co-founder Larry Reynolds stated, “The purpose of this firstever youth all-category road championship is twofold. First, it is intended to

provide young B.C. riders of all ages, who are the future of the sport, the opportunity to race against each other and to get to know each other. Second, and of equal importance – it provides the province’s young road riders with their own championship – a tangible goal to work hard and ride hard for. They deserve it.” While this race was made possible through the vision and hard work of the host VIPYRS team who organized the event, it also required the dedication of many volunteers who

worked tirelessly through the weekend from a variety of cycling clubs and organizations from across the Comox Valley and Vancouver Island. Finally, it was also made possible by the generous contributions of many sponsors, by the Comox Valley business community who came together in many ways to support the event, and the support of Hosting BC, the Province of BC and viaSport. – Vancouver Island Performance Youth Racing Squad

Powell commits to NCAA Div. 1 RIT Tigers Earle Couper Record Staff

MYLES POWELL

Myles Powell is moving on up. After two seasons with the BCHL Victoria Grizzlies, the Comox native has committed to NCAA Div. 1 Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers for

the 2013-14 season. The 19-year-old forward played minor hockey with the Comox Valley Chiefs midget program and had brief stints with the VIJHL Comox Valley Glacier Kings and BCHL Alberni Valley Bulldogs. After a decent rookie

season with the Grizzlies in which he played 38 games and put up a 6-7-13 line, this season Powell was much more consistent with 17 goals and 18 assists in a full 52-game spread while playing second-line minutes and providing excellent penalty killing.

“Myles has worked very hard on his game this season and his work ethic is second to none on our team,” said Grizzlies’ head coach and general manager Bill Bestwick. “He will be a terrific player for RIT and we congratulate him on this achievement.”

RIT plays in the Atlantic Hockey Association against the likes of Air Force, Robert Morris and Holy Cross. The Tigers have been a major recruiting presence in the BCHL in recent years; league alums Brad McGowan, Matt Garbowsky, Greg Noyes, Eliot Raibl, Brad

Reid, Rajan Sidhu, Jeff Smith, Adam Hartley, Josh Mitchell and Josh Watson all spent this past season with the team. The Tigers have won two national championships, one each at the Div. II and Div. III levels.

Joey Ewing new Yetis coach Earle Couper Record Staff

The Comox Valley Glacier Kings will head into the new Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season with a new head coach. The Yetis have announced that Port Alberni native Joey Ewing will guide the Junior B team’s fortunes in 2013-14. The Glacier Kings said former head coach Bill Rothleiser, who led the Icemen to the North Division playoff championship in his first year behind the bench, gave his notice in February, citing personal reasons for his decision. Born in 1983 in Alberni, Ewing’s junior hockey career started in the VIJHL with the Port Alberni Bandits. While playing junior hockey, he also juggled a professional wakeboard career. The Glacier Kings note Ewing went on to play Junior A in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League for the Winkler Flyers and Southeast Blades, helping the Blades win their first-ever division championship. He finished his Junior A career with the Quesnel Millionaires in the BCHL.

JOEY EWING

Ewing then moved to Whistler, where he helped to turn around a struggling minor hockey program. During his first three seasons of coaching the Whistler Winterhawks Bantam Rep team, he led the squads to three Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association league titles and two provincial championship medals. After three years

coaching Bantam, Ewing joined the staff of the KIJHL’s Golden Rockets as an assistant coach. During his season in Golden, the Rockets ended a sevenyear playoff drought. After leaving the Rockets, Ewing returned to Whistler and coached the Winterhawks Midget Rep program to three league titles and two provincial championship berths in four years behind the bench. Ewing has also directed his passion for coaching into private hockey lessons and skill development for aspiring junior and collegiate-level athletes. Ewing has also enjoyed working as a scout for colleges and teams in the BCHL. “Joey is pleased to accept his appointment

Charity tourney on

Ashlee chosen for B.C. squad Isfeld Ice basketball point guard Aleah Ashlee will be busy this summer as she has been selected to the U-15 girls provincial team. Being one of the top 12 athletes of this group age in the province will take her to tournaments around the province, the United States and to the nationals in Newfoundland. The Mark Isfeld guard and silver honour roll student caught the eyes of the B.C. coaches when she displayed her speed, ball handling and amazing shooting. Being an aggressive 5’,10” player, Aleah demonstrated she can play defence not only against small quick guards but also

against strong post players. Making the team was not easy: she accomplished it after successful patella surgery by Dr. Van Sittert, where a ligament was attached to her patella to prevent chronic dislocation. This surgery forced Aleah to step back from her game for eight months. While her teammates were starting their season, she made the commitment to come back stronger by undertaking an intensive recovery fitness program. In January, as soon she had her doctor’s OK, she was back in the gym every day, begging for more practice times to her junior girls coach (and father)

ISFELD ICE GUARD Aleah Ashlee has been selected to the B.C. U-15 girls provincial basketball team. Grant Ashlee and senior girls coach Jouska Lockquell. Lockquell can’t talk more highly of this talented athlete: “It is always a joy to see an athletic student walk in our

gym, and it’s a dream to see that student work so hard on the game. Aleah’s passion for the sport is in her core and it’s contagious.” – Isfeld Ice Athletics

Summer hoops camp returns Attention basketball enthusiasts who love the game and want to improve your fundamentals. Are you between the ages of nine and 18? Boy or girl? Then the best basketball camp west of the Lower Mainland is coming again to the Comox Valley, and a good time will be had by all who attend. Prizes, giveaways, incentives and awards are all part of the 22nd annual Comox Valley Summer Basketball Camp. The young boys and girls, Grades 4 to 7, will be at Lake Trail Middle School from July 2 to 5, all together from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The head coach will be Blake Tobacca, a former player at Vanier Secondary and Vancouver Island University. The head coaches for the older kids (Grades 8 to 12 next year) will be Larry Street of G.P. Vanier and Don Herman of Maple Ridge Secondary. Street has 40 years of camp experience, as does Herman. Both have coached provincial teams, and Herman has won a provincial championship with his high school girls at Maple Ridge. Street has coached over 100 teams and has had over 50 former players play univer-

sity or college basketball – more than any other high school coach in B.C. He is also a longtime NCCP course conductor who certifies coaches in various sports. The older boys (Grades 8 to 12) will take in the camp at G.P. Vanier Secondary in Courtenay from July 2 to 5 in the morning; the older girls will be in the afternoon

camp at G.P. Vanier. Both groups go for four hours for four days. “We will again try to keep up the longstanding tradition of producing skilled athletes with an emphasis on fundamentals,” Street said. “That tradition has been displayed by decades of great players from Courtenay, Cumberland and Comox, as well as out-

lying regions of the Comox Valley.” Forms will be available at all local schools, G.P. Vanier’s main office, and local community centres. For more information e-mail Larry Street at larrystreetcar@gmail.com or lstreet@sd71.bc.ca or phone 250-338-4943. – Comox Valley Summer Basketball Camp

ACTIVITY AT THE shotgun venue of the Courtenay Fish and Game Club is in full swing this summer with trap, skeet, fivestand and sporting clays. There has been a significant upswing in interest, especially in trap shooting, by a wide ranging age group of new shooters. On June 6, Brittany Larson, 20, achieved a score of 25 straight in trap shooting. This level of performance usually takes at least a few years to reach. Brittany just started shooting in March.

Ice impressive hosts of B.C. tourney Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School gave impressive performances both on and off the field when they hosted the 2013 Girls AA Provincial High School Soccer Championships, May 30 to June 1. On the field, the senior girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team competed in five matches over three days and finished the 16-team tournament in a very respectable sixth place with a record of two wins, two losses and a draw. Isfeld opened Pool C play against 2012

provincial champs Seycove where they started well and played solidly but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold their lead in the second half, eventually falling 4-2 to the team from North Vancouver. Shelby Jeeves scored both goals while Rosie Price, Emma Balneaves, Emma Miller and Holly Phillips had strong games. In their next game, Isfeld went down early to eventual tournament winners Archbishop Carney, but hit back with two goals in the first half. Isfeld withstood most of the

late pressure from their strong Fraser Valley opponents but ended up drawing 2-2. The Carney forwards were thwarted by the strong play

of defenders Ariel Becherer, Cassidy Marinus, Mali Przy and Erin Hallier plus defensive midfielders Sydney Kuhnert and Megan Komori-Kennedy. Jenna Kuhnert and Jeeves found the net for the Ice. The second day of action saw Isfeld earn two deserved, valuable wins. In their final pool game they swept aside the Okanagan`s SaHali Sabres 4-1 with an awesome surge of goals late in the game, thus earning second place in their group. Jeeves scored twice, J. Kuhnert one, and SaHali netted an own goal, while â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;keeper Kenzie Hanson made several key saves in an outstanding performance. Marisa Benisky, Becherer and Przy were solid at central defence. Rosie Price, Lex Hornstein, Bradie Gailloux and Kate McKeown continually found open spaces down the opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right side to help create all the scoring opportunities. In the afternoon playoff, Isfeld showed their true composure as a team as they came from behind to defeat Little Flower Academy 2-1 in front a large crowd of students, parents and hometown supporters. Jenna Haaf, Emily Keyes, and Balneaves kept the pressure on with strong attacking moves, while Jeeves once again scored twice. In their final game, Isfeld faced Lambrick Park for fifth and sixth place. The #1 team from Victoria jumped quickly on the slow start by Isfeld and never looked back, although Isfeld missed several close opportunities before netting one in a 5-1 loss. Emma Leevers scored for the Ice while Jeeves and Kuhnert came close and Sabine Rankin stepped up to have a strong game at right back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, the Isfeld girls displayed true class and demonstrated the finest soccer theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played as a team this year, and are very proud of their final placing, as they eclipsed the 12th place finish set by the 2008 squad,â&#x20AC;? noted Ice coach and tournament director Jonathan Bos. Although Isfeld will see 12 of their players from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team graduate, they look forward to continued success with a strong group of junior players

ready to move up next season. In the championship final, Archbishop Carney defeated Burnsview 2-1. Earlier, Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NDSS claimed third with their 4-0 win over Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LV Rogers. Pamela Scowby of Carney was tournament MVP while Isfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shelby Jeeves scored seven goals to share the Golden Boot Award with Emma Entzminger of Lambrick Park. Little Flower Academy received the Fair Play Award as determined by the tournament officials. Off the field, an extensive network of community support helped the large contingent of volunteers to keep everything moving seamlessly behind the scenes. All aspects at the fields; before, during and after the 40 games, providing a hospitality area for the all people involved with the tournament, coordinating the championship awards and managing injuries at the first aid station were handled with precision. The highlight of the volunteer efforts came at the awards banquet, where a Western theme was used to transform the Isfeld gym into various cowboy scenes including an old town, hay bales, wagons and wanted posters, which all contributed to a fun, fantastic atmosphere. At the evening awards, Isfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cassidy Marinus was named to the B.C. Soccer Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11, which recognizes each teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most influential player over the course of their season. Overall, the tournament was a huge success and continues to receive positive feedback from the players, coaches and parents that attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These soccer championships also could not have happened without the resources of the community,â&#x20AC;? Bos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organizing committee wishes to acknowledge gold sponsors Insurance Centres and Seal Bay RV Park/Campground; silver sponsors Walter Marinus Construction, Pilon Tools, Bennett Sheet Metal, Courtenay Plumbing, Hyland Precast, Rosewall Contracting, as well as ReMax for their big tent, Thrifty and Quality Foods, SD#71, CVUSC, and the City of Courtenay.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Isfeld Ice Athletics

Adopt-a-Mav drive underway Record Staff

Sand shifting under his feet is no problem for beach volleyball player Maverick Hatch. But securing a firm financial footing to properly pursue his passion is proving problematic. “Over the course of my tenure with the Canadian National Beach Volleyball Team (he joined in 2008) I have never received the necessary funding to achieve the international results that are expected of me – nor have I received the required support while competing internationally (coach, therapist, videographer) in order to give myself the best chance at achieving international success,” Hatch said from Toronto, where the former Vanier Towhees and Vancouver Island University Mariners standout relocated from Comox to train with the national team. “This season, being the season after the Olympic Games, gives athletes like me, who have yet to break into the World Tour scene and establish themselves as a Main Draw player, an opportunity to do just that while many top teams take time to recover after the long Olympic push or only attend events that they enjoy most. This provides a great opportunity to qualify for the Main Draw and achieve great results at many FIVB World Tour events,” Hatch explained. Funding Needed But if getting there is half the fun, the other half is funding. “I find myself in a financial bind earlier than any other season to date – just four events into the season and I have exhausted my National Team funding ($5,400) and have spent all the money that I have earned during the offseason,” when the 26-year-old coached a U13 girls volleyball team and ran youth volleyball camps and clinics. Hatch notes the typical FIVB World Tour season costs anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 depending on the number of events attended, and whether or not teams qualify for the main draw. “Currently, every Canadian men’s team is seeded in the qualifier, not having enough points to

gain entry directly into the Main Draw. “This means we must travel to these events (thus far two events have been held in China, the third was in Argentina, and the next are in Netherlands, Rome, Poland and Switzerland) and compete in the single elimination qualifier in order to gain entry into the Main Draw,” said Hatch, who won the 2012 Canadian beach volleyball championship. “Qualification tournaments are two rounds – once you lose, you’re eliminated, only the final eight teams gain entry to the MD. Once teams qualify for the MD their hotel and food expenses are covered up until the morning after they are eliminated,” Hatch explained. “To date, I have qualified three times while competing in 12 FIVB tournaments. My best result, ninth, came in 2011 at the Quebec event– I have two 25thplace finishes as well. “I’ve lived in Toronto for the past four years and although I’ve created a good network of friends and supporters here, the opportunity to connect with friends and family back home for fundraising help and sponsorship opportunities is slim to none,” Hatch said. “As a beach national team athlete we have been required to live and train fulltime in Toronto in order to receive our minimal national team funding – but things have changed for 2014. Change Coming “In 2014, athletes who achieve three 17th-place finishes or better will be automatically carded (selected to the national team) and allowed to live and train wherever they choose. For me, this is simple. I will choose to live and train out west,” Hatch said. “My goal is to start a western training centre in Vancouver in order to provide opportunities for West Coast athletes to be identified by the beach national team and grow the level of elite training on the West Coast. “The ability to leverage the relationships I have within the volleyball community on the West Coast is huge and I believe by achieving the required three 17th-place finishes I will provide a great opportunity to not only help West

I find myself ❝ in a financial bind earlier than any other season to date – just four events into the season…

❞

Maverick Hatch Coast athletes, but also grow the sport of beach volleyball across Canada,” said the 6’,7”, 202-pound athlete, who brings a 90-plus km/h spin serve to the beach along with a big pres-

ence at the net. Hatch notes the Adopt an Athlete program can provide funding, and urges people to check out complete details on his blog at http://bit.ly/ZISfl9. “As much as this program will immediately help me this season, donations also have the potential to assist me in doing something amazing for the sport of beach volleyball in Canada. “Not all, but most, Canadian beach volleyball athletes retire and begin their lives out-

side the sport, but I’ve always had the vision and dream of starting something big to benefit the sport and future athletes,” Hatch said. With the 2015 Pan Am Games upcoming in Toronto in July and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio in August on the calendar, Hatch is hoping to hear from hometown supporters and those all across the country as he strives to represent Canada to the best of his ability and at the highest level of his sport.

A surprise visit from the Old Time Racing Association highlighted a great night of racing at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday. Due to dark clouds looming over the track, only two heat races and one main event were given to all fields. In the Motorcycle division #9 Jim Deas had an amazing night, setting fast time in qualifying, winning both heats, and leading all 12 laps of the main event to take a clean sweep. #89 Gregg Sagmoen had a great night in the I.M.C.A Modified division. Sagmoen won both heats but fell short in the main

event, losing his lead late in the race to #00 Rory Smith, who was racing Modifieds for the first time. Sagmoen’s great night moved him from last in the points race to first in the blink of an eye. #72 Stewart Lee continued his main event dominance in the Bomber car class. After some early struggles, he found his way in the main event, taking the lead from #33 Brian Baltis on lap 19 of 25 en route to winning his second straight main event. Eleven Dwarf cars took to the track for their first race night of the year. #89 Jim Meeres dominated the 25-lap main event, grabbing the lead on lap one and never looking back.

The Old Time Racing Association was a last-minute addition to the field, but even on short notice they put on a great display of racing. In their 20-lap main event #22 Larry Joyce, #11 Duane Zeinstra and #35 Kail Beck raced bumper to bumper, with Joyce holding the lead for the first half. However on lap 18, Zeinstra finally found his way around Joyce to take the win. Beck was second and Joyce third.

Exciting adventure with halibut, chinook and wind T

he Victoria Day long weekend is over for another year and the stories are being told. Chuck Ashcroft and I made our annual trip to Port Hardy on this weekend influenced by suitable tidal patterns. We tend to fish in open waters whenever possible and with the unstable wind patterns of early season it is always a gamble as to whether or not we will be able to fish some of our favourite locations. On the first day of the trip we left the harbour at shortly after 7 a.m. and headed into the open passages between the islands. Our running time with suitable winds is in excess of an hour before we reach our first fishing holes. This year we were blessed with light winds so we made good progress. For comparison, we travel a considerably greater distance from Port Hardy harbour than if we were travelling from Comox harbour to Flora Rocks. A major difference is that much of our fishing in these waters is done in the open swells of the northeast Pacific Ocean. It is exciting stuff, and a prime consideration is that you have a suitable boat and a boat operator, in this case Chuck, who

knows how to run the boat and navigate in these waters. About a year ago when we arrived in these same waters Chuck promptly caught a prime 50-pound halibut and shortly after we landed it we looked at each other and said it is time to retreat because it is really getting rough. The wind increased over the next two days and we never got back on the water. This year when we reached our first fishing area there was a brisk northwest wind developing over the open swells so we opted to troll for chinook rather than target halibut. I started with a green hoochie and Chuck opted to fish with anchovies in teaser heads. What happened next was a surprise when a respectable halibut took the hoochie and was running like a chinook. After a chillingly close call with downrigger cable we harpooned what was really a co-op fish. It was just shy of 100cm and weighed approximately 28 pounds. We continued fishing in the growing windy conditions when Chuck connected with a large chinook that had an aversion to the boat and insisted on heading towards Cape

HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF when Chuck reeled in his traditional Victoria Day long weekend halibut. PHOTO BY RALPH SHAW Caution. Chuck finally got it near the boat and I netted a prime fish in excess of 25 pounds. The wind was picking up, the harbour was at least an hour and a half away so we made an easy decision – it was time to head back

to Port Hardy. Day two was much like the first except that the winds were stronger, the swells bigger and we retreated to calmer waters to get out of the growing waves and mounting swells. Before we

retreated we landed another nice chinook in the 25-pound range. Day three was cut short due to a confusing weather report that suggested that the morning would arrive with similar wind patterns of the first two days. We decided to fish sheltered waters for halibut or chinook and close things down shortly after noon and head back to Courtenay. As it turned out the weather was the best it had been for the trip and we could have gone north in pretty calm seas. We did however succeed in taking another prime halibut in the 30-pound range. This early season trip of staying at our daughter’s home in Port Hardy and combining visiting with fishing is becoming a tradition. I know several groups who go fishing on the Victoria Day long weekend and their trips fall into traditions that stretch back over generations where the families make allowances for these early season adventures. Many of these trips take place on freshwater lakes. Trout fish-

RALPH SHAW ing and lake traditions seem simpler to begin because weather and tides are not as challenging. Not certain how our early season developing tradition will last into the future because I am a little long in the tooth; but I suggest and hope numbers will grow and

we will let the future be the guide. Based on this year’s success – two 30-pound halibut and two nice 20-pound-plus chinook – the season is off to a great start. Have you ever considered starting a tradition? Ralph Shaw is a master fly fisherman who was awarded the Order of Canada in 1984 for his conservation efforts.

Dale Collings 1933 - 2013

:PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET

Dale was born in Bathurst, New Brunswick on February 2, 1933. At a young age, Dale and his mother moved to Hamilton, Ont. where he lived until joining the RCAF in 1951. Dale was stationed in Germany for a few years but soon found his way back to Ontario where he met his future wife Audrey Smith. They were married in June of 1956. After a short stay in Cold Lake, Alberta, they were off to Europe for a 4 year stay in France. It was in Marville, France that they had their first child, Roy with a second child soon to follow, Lorraine. With two children in hand, they returned to Canada in 1960 for a posting to CFB Comox. In 1963 they had their third child, Stephen. Dale was lucky enough to stay in Comox for the balance of his military career, retiring from the Airforce in 1975 and calling Comox home. For the next three years Dale managed the bars at the Mexicana Inn and then the Courtenay Hotel (Tiny Timberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lounge). In 1978 looking for a change, Dale and Audrey took a risk and bought a clothing store in the newly opened Driftwood Mall. Collings Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wear soon became known as the best place for fine Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothing in the Comox Valley. Dale and Audrey held on to the store for 16 years before the weakened economy took its toll and Collings Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wear was closed in 1994. Soon after the close of his own store, Dale was asked to come to work for a new Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Store in Courtenay, Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothes Closet. Dale enjoyed the next several years working in the industry he had grown to love. Dale finally retired in 2002 at the age of 69 and enjoyed his final years spending time with his wife, his children and his grandchildren, he was a loving and supportive husband, father and grandfather. Dale is survived by his wife Audrey, children Roy (Deborah) Collings, Lorraine Lang (Mitch Weiser), and Stephen Collings, his grandchildren Jason (Michelle) Collings, Mathew (Jaclyn) Collings and Tarryn Lang. Dale was predeceased by his mother Edith, brother Harley and sister Dee Dee. He was a proud member of the Comox Legion for 40 years, so it is fitting that the celebration of his life will take place at 1pm, Saturday, June 15 in the Upper Hall of Comox Legion Branch 160, 1825 Comox Ave. The family would like to thank the staff at the Comox Valley Seniors Village for their excellent care of Dale in his final days. Their compassion and kindness will always be remembered. We would also like to thank Dr. Daws for her excellent care of Dale over the last few years. Toneff Funeral Services is entrusted with the arrangements.

And the apples of his eye, his grandchildren; Olivia & Maleena Cooper, Sadey, Gracy and Jaren Cooper. As well as many nieces and nephews. Arnold was known all over the island for his Govâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surplus sales and furniture business. He was most importantly known for his caring and giving spirit. His love of life and his love for his family is what made his life full, but when he faced his final test, it was not only the support of his loving family and friends, but his strong faith and hope of a better future and life to come on this earth as promised in the bible at Psalms 37:10,11. Many thanks also go out to the beautiful 3rd Floor nursing staff at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, the amazing staff at the Cancer clinic as well as Dr. Ingrey , Dr. Kopt & Dr. Camacho for their amazing compassion and care.

Doris Beaudoin (nee Choquette) July 8, 1935 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 9, 2013

Elaine (Glowasky) Michaud 1953-2013 Born on October 5, 1953 to William (Bill) and Maureen Glowasky, Elaine passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 1st with family by her side at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Comox, BC. Elaine fought a tenacious battle with cancer for over 6 years and had many ups and downs. For over 30 years she was a distributor of Pro-Ma Systems Optimal Health Organic Aloe Juice and Grace Skin care products. She was passionate about sharing the many health benefits of the products and treasured the friendship with the formulators Don & Lucille Flint and the Fittler Family, Pro-Ma Systems Owners. Countless fond memories and friendships were formed during summers spent as host with her husband Vaughn at their remote floating cabin, Nootka Sound Sports Fishing Charters, on Tlupana Inlet in protected Three Bay Cove where visitors became family. Predeceased by her father William Glowasky, Elaine is survived by her husband Vaughn Michaud, mother Maureen Glowasky, sister Lynne (John) Allen, children Michelle (Ian) Jensen, Justin (Joanne) Makasoff, Christi (Mike) Makasoff, Kelly (Theresa) Michaud, Christi Michaud, grandchildren Zac, Sabrina, Christopher, Brendan, Avery and Kelsey and nephews Tom (Naomi) Allen and Nic (Nikki) Allen. Special thanks to Dr. Janet Green for her care and valued friendship through the years, to Dr. Barbara Fehlau and to the nurses on the first floor and the emergency of St. Josephsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hospital. Also thank you to all the paramedics for all your help on the many call outs as well as Hospice volunteers Maxine and Melanie and Palliative Care. A celebration of Elaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at an Open House at 430 Arden Road (off 1st Street) on Saturday, June 15 from 12:00pm to 4:00pm.

Stephen Leonard Harris Doris Margaret Beaudoin passed away at The Views in St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital on June 9, 2013. She will be dearly missed by her husband, Andre and children: Laurier, Henriette (Patrice), Alice (Dan), Louis (Laurie), Carole (Andrew), Gilles (Karen), Diane (Marty), Gregg (Ruth) , Collette (Sean) and her 21 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Her daughter Adrienne, predeceased her and we all take ease knowing that they are together sharing their love for one another and smiling down at us, now that they are together in a peaceful place. Her parents and many siblings also predecease her. Doris was born in Bonnyville Alberta and moved to the Valley in 1968 with her husband and 8 children. The following year she had her ninth child and in the years following she also took care of nieces and nephews, and babysat neighborhood kids; she had a heart of gold. She took pride in her canning, baking and cleaning, but where her heart was full was with the love she had for her husband, children and grandchildren. Despite her struggles, she carried a strength within her that I doubt we will see in another human being and she continued through to her last breath. We would like to say to her we will miss your smile (teeth or no teeth), holding your trembling hand and yes, even rubbing your feet, but most of all we will miss the outpouring love you had for all of us. We promise to make you proud and continue to share your love with each other and hold on tight to what matters the most, our family. We would like to thank the staff at the Views and Cumberland Lodge. Although Doris was only there for a short time at each facility, she truly felt the love and compassion from many members of the staff. A funeral service will be held at Christ the King Parish in Courtenay, B.C. at 1:00pm on Monday, June 17th with a reception to follow.

DEATHS

Doug Grant 1947 ~ 2013 The family wishes to announce the passing of our dear brother, husband, and father, Doug Grant, at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital on June 8th. Â He will be sorely missed by his wife Linda, son Darren, mother Ruth (father Tom, deceased), brothers Dick, David (Nicole), Tom (Holly), Robert (Marilee), Robin, Don (Lisa), and sisters Carolyn (Gary) and Margaret (Mike), as well as all his nieces and nephews. Doug was born in Edmonton in 1947, the third of nine children. It was in Edmonton where he met Linda, the love of his life.Â Doug and Linda moved to Comox in 1973 and were overjoyed at the birth of their son Darren in 1975. Â Doug apprenticed as an electrician in the Valley and operated the popular firm of Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Electric, serving many Comox Valley contractors. In 2000, Doug, Linda, and their son Darren opened their family computer business in downtown Courtenay,Â where Doug met many new friends. He enjoyed time with his family, golfing, and watching the Canucks. A celebration of Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at his brother Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Saturday, June 15 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm. Â 3337 Crown Isle Drive - the 2nd Crown Isle Drive off Royal Vista Way. Everyone wishing to join us is welcome.

DEATHS

September 11, 1927 - January 25, 2013 Born in Estevan, Saskatchewan to Ed & Molly Knight, predeceased by his parents and his wife of 52 years, Kathleen nee Stasiuk (Kay), survived by sons Robert and David (Doria) and sister Shirley Cordi. Gordon was a dedicated family man, who made successful careers as a meteorolological technician and photographer. He also found time to serve his community on the school board and in the Canadian Reserves. As a retiree, Gord fished the coastal waters of Vancouver Island during 30+ summers and dominated the shuffleboard courts of Arizona under the winter suns. He travelled throughout the States and Canada as well as undertaking several European trips. Gord enjoyed his hobbies, especially spending time with friends and family, often engaging in spirited discussions and debates. He will be missed and fondly remembered by those friends and family especially Lenore of Mesa, Don of Comox and Beryl of Estevan. His happy life cut short by complications of influenza, his remains will be interred at Estevan Cemetery. A heartfelt thank you to the compassionate doctors, nurses and aids who cared for Gord in his final days. A memorial will be organized and announced at a later time.

JOHN KLASSEN A memorial will be held in honour of John Klassen at his home in Union Bay on Sat. June 22 from 2-4PM. 250-335-3133

March 9 1949 to March 2 1913 My friend for over 60 years. Georgina grew up with me in Union Bay. She met and married Stan Junglas and they moved to Prince George, had two sons Aaron and Sean. A number of years later they divorced. She then married William Brown and lived in Port Orchard Washington before returning to New Westminster to be nearer to family. When we talked or emailed it was like carrying on a conversation from yesterday. She had a deep laugh, some may call it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;guffawâ&#x20AC;? that was very contagious. She was my lifelong friend and I loved her. Georgina was ill for about two years but always remained optimistic, even up to this past Christmas. In our last conversation on the phone we discussed our somewhat nefarious adventures as children. Gina was a year older than me and a lot more daring but I followed willingly. We talked about smoking my grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cigarette butts out behind the wood shed at 8 or 9. Drinking her grandmothers dandelion wine (swiped of course) at Washer Creek and daring each other to eat inch square coloured doggie treats pilfered from my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store, (they were awful). Crushes on older guys racing their cars over the coal hills and other hilarious moments frozen in our minds. We even shared the chicken pox together as our momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figured we might as well get it over with at the same time. Gina laughed about introducing me to a tall, skinny fifteen year old guy at a junior high sock hop whom I married 10 years later. We did not discuss the divorce! As our conversation dwindled our laughter turned to tears because both of us realized that it would probably be our last conversation. We were both crying,â&#x20AC;? I love youâ&#x20AC;? but we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say goodbye. I knew the end was near but when her aunt Shirley (Jack) Tweedhope phoned to tell me Georgina had passed away it was if most of my childhood went with her. Especially long hot summer days at the beach and down at the wharf in Union Bay. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let go ... I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to let go. This is not goodbye, you will always live in my heart with love.
