Agriculture tour visits Comox Valley Record Staff The Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. is holding its regional tour at various Comox Valley locations Tuesday. The tour provides an opportunity to learn about innovative agriculture projects, and about projects funded by the foundation. The itinerary includes morning stops at Tree Island Gourmet Yogurt, McClintock’s Farm and Gunter Bros. Meat Co. Afternoon visits include Coastal Black Winery, Shelter Point Distillery and Island Bison Ranch. “It’s unique. We’re working closely with IAF this year,” said Abel O’ Brennan, an owner and winemaker at Coastal Black, which will host about 50 guests for wine-tasting and lunch. As of August, the Black Creek winery will have been in operation three years. “They’ve given us some fund-

ing for our Buy Local program for our advertising for the year,” O’Brennan said. This year, IAF has undertaken a campaign where it provides funding up to 50 per cent for businesses advertising or promoting the Buy Local concept. The foundation was established in 1996 as an industry-led, non-profit organization. It represents a significant component of the agriculture and agrifood community, from farm supply to primary production to post-farm gate and food processing. The focus is to work with clients, industry and funding partners, and to invest in projects that have the potential to transform ideas into solutions. In the past two years, the IAF has approved more than $125,000 to projects in the Comox Valley, including the Farmers’ Market, livestock slaughter waste disposal and domestic marketing initiatives.

Huband Elementary has salad days for kids Renee Andor Record Staff

Huband Park Elementary students have been biting into plenty of local produce thanks to the school’s new Farm to School Salad Bar program. Parent, local farmer and salad bar organizer Arzeena Hamir says the salad bar has been in operation once per week for the past six weeks, and she notes

there are three objectives of the lunch program. “The first one is to get kids to eat more fruits and veg for their own nutrition outcomes,” says Hamir. “The second is to support local farms, so the money that’s being spent here is being circulated in the Comox Valley.” The cost per student per lunch is $3, though Hamir adds subsidies are available.

Playing fields still open Playing fields next to Lerwick Road will remain in use as long as possible thanks to a multi-agency collaboration. The arrangement involves the North Island Hospitals Project, the City of Courtenay Recreation Department, School District 71, the Queneesh Elementary School Advisory Committee and the Comox Valley United Soccer Club. The playing fields, consisting of two ball diamonds and a soccer field, were purchased from the City of Courtenay to be part of the new Comox Valley Hospital site. The North Island Hospitals Project (NIHP) agreed to keep the fields open as

long as possible. Following discussions with the Queneesh Elementary School Advisory Committee, a plan has been developed to cre-

ate a landscaped buffer/walkway between the hospital site and Queneesh Elementary School. — North Island Hospitals Project

CLARIFICATION

An independent commission originally recommended Courtenay to be split in half in a redistribution of the proposed new federal riding of NanaimoAlberni. Following a public hearing in October, the commission adjusted the boundary in its final report to the House Committee so that Courtenay was not divided. A subsequent proposal from Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan splits Cumberland between the two ridings.

The grant was spent on equipment like the salad bar, cutting boards and knives — with about $6,000 of it going toward a commercial dishwasher. The kitchen area was

Last week’s salad bar was the last of the year, but Hamir notes it has been popular, with about 40 kids signed up. Huband is the first school in the Valley to offer a Farm to School Salad Bar program, though Hamir notes over 60 B.C. schools have lunch programs like this thanks to the organization Farm to School B.C.

Courtenay logger killed in accident

A 46-year-old Courtenay man died June 11 while working in a logging camp at Kildonan on west Vancouver Island. Stephen Mark Whitmore was killed, says the BC Coroners Service. He was operating a piece of heavy equipment known as a wheel loader at the worksite, when the equipment tipped over. He was deceased at the scene. The BC Coroners Service and WorkSafe BC are continuing to investigate this death. The family of Mr. Whitmore has been

notified of his death. — BC Coroners Service

Compliance Coal has no intention of exploring its Bear Coal or Anderson Lake deposits near Comox Lake, even if government grants the green light to the Raven underground coal mine proposal near Baynes Sound, says a company official. in 2007, Compliance applied for a licence to explore about 1,672 hectares of undersurface coal resources near Anderson Lake above Forbidden Plateau north of Comox Lake. It also holds a 60-per-cent interest in the Bear Coal Deposit

south of Comox Lake. “We have no plans to explore these licence areas, even if the licences are granted,” Compliance vice-president of operations Stephen Ellis said Thursday. The reason basically concerns the world coal price, added Ellis. “We’ll develop the Raven and that’ll be great. It’s a big enough challenge.” Even if a company holds a licence, it is required to undergo the entire application process for another claim. “You can’t piggyback on the back of another application,” Ellis said. “Would we want to take that on again?”

Lara D. austin Investment Advisor RBC Dominion Securities Inc.

The Anderson Lake application has been held in abeyance by government since it was filed in 2007, Ellis explained. Last week, the Comox Valley Regional District committee of the whole approved letters to the chief inspector of mines to inform terms and conditions of requested coal licences submitted by Compliance and Hillsborough Resources Ltd. The latter is looking to explore

nearly 3,000 hectares, mostly in the Strath-

cona Regional District.

Hospice supported Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Terri Odeneal, executive director of the Comox Valley Hospice Society, appealed to the regional district committee of the whole to advocate on its behalf for funding from the Vancouver Island Health Authority. She encouraged the district to follow the lead of the Cowichan Valley Regional District, which contributed a $50,000 grant-in-aid to its area hospice. The Comox Valley society operates on a $265,000 annual budget with no core funding from VIHA. Since Courtenay is described as the baby boomer capital of Canada, Odeneal notes an exponential demand for hospice services. She suggests VIHA needs to make hospice a priority — as Premier Christy Clark has stated. Courtenay director Starr Winchester said the time has come for the CVRD to step up to the plate. “We could play a major role advocating for hospice,” Winchester said. Her motion to write to VIHA, area MP John Duncan, area MLA Don McRae, Health Minister Terry Lake and Clark met with unanimous approval. “I think we have to get hospice front and centre,” said Area B director Jim Gillis, who suggests forming a hospice committee. Hospice care is sometimes called palliative care or end-oflife care. It is designed to provide compassion and support for individuals facing life-limiting illness, as well as their families. ••• The committee approved a motion from Comox director Tom Grant to write a

letter opposing compensation of the Comox Valley Airport Commission board. The letter will, however, acknowledge the excellent work of the CVAC board, which is required to seek nominating entities’ advice when considering a bylaw amendment on matters of substance. CVAC is revisiting its recruitment and retention practices, including the issue of remuneration for board members. The bylaw says directors are not to receive pay. “If you’re going to be a volunteer, you shouldn’t ask for money,” Grant said, noting hundreds of local volunteers who sit on boards without being paid. Cumberland director Gwyn Sproule agreed that “compensation would open a can of worms.” CVAC commissioned a study to identify reasons for and against moving towards a compensated model. The study looked at several non-profit transportation boards across Canada. Grant noted the other airports studied operate aerodromes and deal with runway

issues, as does CFB Comox. “They (CVAC) basically operate a terminal,” Grant said. CVAC has sought input from the three Valley municipalities, all of which oppose a compensated model. ••• Immigrant Welcome Centre executive director Rachel Blaney requested the district’s participation in the Cultural Ambassador Program and coming immigration roundtable meetings — two aspects of the organization’s Welcoming Community Action Plan. The centre served upwards of 500 people from more than 40 countries in the past 18 months. Its largest service groups are Vietnam at 13 per cent, China at nine per cent and Korea at four per cent. Most people served are naturalized citizens. Blaney also appeared at Courtenay council. The first roundtable meeting is June 25 from noon to 2 p.m. at North Island College.

New SAR Techs graduate Carrying on a proud and unique tradition among graduation ceremonies in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) six newest Search and Rescue (SAR) Technicians parachuted Thursday into 19 Wing Comox. It marked the end of 11 months of intense training. The graduates of SAR Technician Course 46 have a wide range of previous experience: some were infantry soldiers, while others were members of Canada’s Special Operations Forces. Graduates also include an ex-military vehicle technician, an ex-combat engineer and a former RCAF

Property owner declines City offer Record Staff

The owner of the vacant Fifth Street lot once inhabited by the Palace Theatre has declined a proposal from Courtenay council to upgrade and/ or provide access to the property. The owner, who lives in Hong Kong, intends to sell the property at 397 Fifth St. The theatre burned to the ground in 2007. “Since then, the vacant lot has been described as an eyesore and as a deterrent for further economic development within the downtown core,” Mayor Larry Jangula states in a letter to First Nations Enterprises in Vancouver. Jangula feels the proposal could expedite the sale of the property.

THE FABULOUS MISS Rosie Bitts presents an Evening of Burlesque and Cabaret Performance on June 22 at the Waverley Hotel.

Rosie’s ‘the real deal’ During the day, Rosie Bitts is a demure housewife and mother, but by night she is a bawdy yet glamorous burlesque starlet, producer, teacher and pinup model. Known as the Libido of Burlesque‚ and named a Notable Canadian Woman by the National Post, Rosie’s performance has been called “the real deal and the whole package, a smart performer with a killer routine” by awardwinning author Cherrie Priest. Rosie, aka Trinda Reed, is the founder of Best Bitts Productions‚ and is bringing her popular show The Bitts of Tease Cabaret back to Cumberland this Saturday. Rosie’s Bitts of Tease Cabaret is in the genre of an old-school cabaret and burlesque show. There are beautiful girls performing both neo and classic burlesque, an MC poking fun at social conventions and naughty jazz and blues sung by Miss Rosie Bitts. The show is headlined by multi-award-winning performer, producer, writer and singer Miss Rosie Bitts and Neo Burlesque darling Vava Vunderbust and will introduce two new burlesque starlets and dancers Chasity Twist and Delilah D’lish. Rosie is known for her racy

shows and this one will have mature themes and partial nudity. She was the first burlesque teacher on Vancouver Island and has since taught classes to hundreds of women from Campbell River to Victoria.

Rosie has performed all over North America. She is a keynote speaker and speaks on subjects from Releasing Your Inner Diva to Getting Your Sexy Back After Kids.

Love to Perform Holly Theatre Dance shows June 21 and 22 will feature Jeff Hyslop at the Old Church Theatre in Courtenay. Danette Bell, director and choreographer, describes the show as “a dance, vocal and theatrical tribute … celebrating some of the most famous and gifted celebrities of our time while embracing the many talents of our Love to Perform local performers — an evening that promises to entertain the whole family.” Vancouver-born Hyslop is indisputably one of Canada’s foremost performing artists. Equally masterful as a singer, dancer and actor, he has starred with unqualified success in such landmark musical productions as Cabaret, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Jacques Brel, The Music Man, The Producers, and of course, the role of Mike in both the London West End and Broadway productions of A Chorus Line. To many, he is the quintessential Phantom of the Opera, a role he embraced in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical for over 975 performances. He starred as Jeff the Mannequin in the TVO series Today’s Special, which maintained a huge popularity for over 10 years. At age 21 Jeff was dancing and singing in Norman Jewison’s film Jesus Christ Superstar. His numerous television appearances include series for both CTV and CBC-TV. The most memorable of these was his own Dancin’ Man Super Special where he partnered with his favourite leading lady, Karen Kain. He has received numerous awards including, three Jessie Awards (Vancouver) — two for Best Choreography, the other for Best Director; five nominations for the ACTRA Award for Best Variety Performer and a Dora Mavor Moore Award in 1984 for On Tap. Choreography and directing are a real love for Jeff and it shows in productions such as Peter Pan, A Chorus Line, On Tap, Guys and Dolls and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

A group of supporters established a nonprofit society last year to continue nine years of work by the Symphony Orchestra Academy of the Pacific (SOAP), a project of the Powell River Academy of Music. Among its programs is the Symphony and Orchestral program. “The program is pretty high level,” said Brian Balfe, president of the board of the Pacific Region International Summer Music Academy (PRISMA). The board includes Arthur Arnold, chief conductor of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, who was a co-founder of SOAP. “We have some outstanding faculty and students,” Balfe said. “This year we have Soyoung Yoon of South Korea. She’s won every (violin) competition she’s entered worldwide since 2002.” The academy brings in faculty from professional orchestras around the world to Powell River for a couple of weeks.

McNeill loves teaching basketball skills to kids Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Allison McNeill, head coach of the Canadian women’s basketball team that finished in the top eight at the 2012 London Olympics, and her husband Mike shared some of their expertise with a gym full of eager young players at a Friday camp at Mark R. Isfeld Secondary. The night before, she delivered a keynote address at the school’s athletic banquet. “I was trained as a teacher,” said McNeill, who spent four years in the classroom before embarking on a coaching career, first at universities then at the national level. “I’ve kind of done all levels. I’ve done a lot of basketball camps, and I’ve always coached the young kids. National team was full-time work, part-time pay, like a lot of jobs.” Before her stint leading the national team, the Surrey resident had coached at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby and at the Univer-

where they lost to the eventual gold medal-winning Americans. It was the highest finish in 35 years for a Canadian women’s Olympic basketball team.

“A lot of people weren’t even expecting us to get to the Olympics,” McNeill said. “We actually qualified on Canada Day. And then we got the last possible

berth to the Olympics.” They did so by defeating Japan, which had twice beaten the Canadians the previous summer. In December, after 11 years at the helm, McNeill retired from her national team head coaching duties. She and Mike now work at the grassroots level with aspiring young basketball players. Mike, a former men’s team coach at SFU, was an assistant coach of the women’s team in London. His full-time job is director of coaching and development for Basketball B.C. The couple conduct clinics throughout B.C. and parts of Western Canada. Come summer, Allison will speak at a clinic in Lithuania. “Around the national team I’ve always been doing Steve Nash Youth Basketball, and coaching coaches and NCP (National Coaching Certification),” she said. “I’m blessed to be able to coach at all levels. I still love the developmental level — it might be my favourite.”

Here’s what Canada Basketball has to say: Allison McNeill is a Canadian icon, a treasure and a valued resource to the sport of basketball and the entire coaching community. She has dedicated over 30 years of her life to coaching female athletes in basketball and is recognized as an outstanding coach, teacher and friend by athletes and colleagues alike.” McNeill earned the 2011 Geoff Gowan Award, a lifetime achievement recognition for coaching development. “If we don’t get our coaching better, then our sports aren’t going to get better,” she said. “We have athletes in this country. We’re not hurting for athletes. Look at hockey. If we don’t have good coaching at the youth levels especially, then it’s pretty hard to get players to the international level. “But I’m not only interested in the international level, I’m just interested in the kids having a good youth sport experience.”

Happy’s Source for Sports Indians (Islanders) is on the hunt for a summer of victories. Playing in the Komoux Men’s Real Baseball League, Happy’s had an offyear in 2012. After a couple of league titles in 2010 and 2011, the Indians were knocked from their pedestal by the Fisher Realty Blue Jays in 2012. It looked like the good days were over and that a rebuild was required – perhaps it was time to retire a few of the old guard pushing 60 years, and bring in some fresh 40-something rookies. But the spring of 2013 has brought not only a new year, but also a new outlook, a bit of a bounce in the step, and a realization that Father Time will have to wait another year! The Indians sit in first place in the league with a 6-1 record, and the team has set its sights on a trio of upcoming challenges. First up is the 10th annual Investors Group Yew Bat tournament here in the Valley, this weekend (June 21-23). Now one of the longest running tournaments in the Valley, Happy’s is looking to win the 35+ Division for the first time. Then, over the long weekend of August,

the team will journey to Edmonton for the Canadian Oldtimers Baseball Championships. Playing in the 50+ division (which is the oldest division, unfortunately), the competition will include teams from

Chamber membership: is it a want or a need? Chamber membership: a want or a need? While generating more business might be your end goal in being a member of the Chamber of Commerce, you absolutely need a healthy community in order to do so. You may want to have your name associated with the Chamber and be referred to other members, but you also need the Chamber to be the voice of important business issues that affect your bottom

line. Certainly, there are plenty of benefits of belonging to the Chamber and we want local businesses to belong... but we also want to ensure that all businesses recognize that the Chamber is working daily to make sure that their needs are met. Without your support, the consequences are more dire than simply being left out of a community business directory. Examples of activi-

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom, Grandma, and Great-Grandma. Mae was born in Comox, B.C. on May 5, 1925 to Matilda and Herb Muschamp. She was predeceased by her husband, Desmond Joseph Stewart. She is survived by her four children, Monty, Clifford (Paulette), Leona, and Graham (Jan); her grandchildren, Sean, Gary, Cameron, Leanne and Heather; great-grandson, Dexter. Mae spent her early years growing up in Union Bay. She moved to Victoria in her early twenties to work. She came back to Union Bay and married the love of her life. They were married for 60 years. They started a family in Union Bay, then moved into Gold River in 1961. Then later moved to Campbell River. The last couple of years for Mae have been at Cumberland Lodge.

Mae was a kind and caring person. She was known for always having her door open for everyone. She would always have baking on the counter and could whip up a batch of scones in a flash. She was loved by all who knew her and influenced many. She had a strong personality, knew her mind, and was very much involved with her community in many capacities. She will be missed very much by her family and friends.

Brad was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disease and lost his long hard fought battle on June 6, 2013. Brad was a dedicated father, husband, uncle, brother and friend. Brad had a long list of accomplishments. He began his working career as a drywaller with his brother Glen. He then pursued and achieved his Chef papers which helped him land a position with the BC Ferries for more than 20 years, his passion was with the Cedar Volunteer fire department as a fire fighter. Bradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuit for helping others led him in the direction of becoming a member of the EMS and worked for the B.C Ambulance as a paramedic. Brad embraced all of these positions with dedication and commitment. We, as Bradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surviving family members would like to tell his many co-workers and friends; Thank you so much for all of the outstanding support Brad received during his very difficult battle, he was truly overwhelmed with the care and support. We would like to thank all of the medical professionals at the Vancouver General Hospital who did their very best to make Brad as comfortable as possible during his stay in Vancouver. A special thank you to the Cedar Volunteer Fire Department for all your help and support. Brad you will be truly missed but never forgotten. Love you Bro.

Watch what you eat Carla Forrest Contributor

It is often said that when you know better, you do better. But when it comes to diet and nutrition, it can be hard to know just what exactly is “better.” That’s something Comox Valley dietitian Tiffany McFadden wants to change. “My top priority as a dietitian is to help people,” says McFadden. “Helping can come in many different forms whether it is helping clients make diet changes around a new diagnosis, relieving symptoms through diet or figuring out what a healthy diet is for their family. “Ultimately my goal is for clients to be empowered with the knowledge they need to make the best decisions around their health.” Born and raised in Campbell River, McFadden earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from UVic before discovering her true passion for dietetics. She went on to receive a second Bachelor of Science, this time in dietetics from UBC, followed by a 10-month internship and several years of clinical experience — many at a high-acuity hospital in a major urban centre — before settling in the Comox Valley with her family to enjoy the Island lifestyle. When people think of a dietitian, it is easy to think of someone who deals only with chronic or extreme health issues. McFadden says most of her clients come to her proactively, wanting to prevent disease or the

progression of a condition. “The main reasons that clients come to see me are for digestive issues, weight loss, sports nutrition, or a general nutrition checkup.”

The main ❝ reasons that

clients come to see me are for digestive issues, weight loss, sports nutrition, or a general nutrition checkup.

❞

Tiffany McFadden She also sees all age ranges in her clinic, often seeing children for things such as food allergies or concerns around picky eating and seniors looking to regain energy after an illness or injury. What exactly does a dietitian do? Clients can expect to review their current eating habits, health history, exercise routines, and any concerns they have. McFadden

sees the individualized plans that she develops not as short-term strategies, but as the first step to developing lifelong healthy eating habits. She even offers grocery store tours, which she calls a highlight of her job. “I find clients get so much out of them and are always amazed at how much they have learned. We tour the store comparing and learning about food. I usually touch a little on food preparation, meal planning and budgeting. Again the tours are personalized and I always encourage lots of questions. There is no better place to discuss food than in the grocery store.” Anyone wanting to know better and do better when it comes to food and nutrition can visit www.tiffanymcfaddenrd.com or phone 250-338-1333. Many extendedhealth plans cover the cost of seeing registered dieticians, who in B.C. are classified as authorized medical practitioners.

Kindness mending the rift? Winning a battle is good. Winning a war is better. Preventing a war is best. One way to do that is for your people to know a potential enemy at the grassroots level and to demonstrate you are not the evil foe the enemies of peace will say you are. The work of Boomer’s Legacy Foundation, a 100-per-cent Canadian charitable organization since 2006, is vital in this regard. It empowers Canadian Forces personnel with raised and donated funds, allowing them to provide humanitarian assistance to people where Canadian Forces members are deployed. There is no better example of this than the knitting and distributing of Boomer Caps, meant to help keep children warm in war-torn regions. Among other places around the globe, Boomer Caps are distributed in Afghanistan — a particularly poignant destination considering Cpl. Andrew (Boomer) Eykelenboom of Comox was killed there in 2006 while serving his country. A medic, Boomer was known to give aid and show kindness not just to his own kind, but to Afghani children caught in what must seem like endless warfare. Selfless acts like Boomer’s didn’t mean anything to the suicide bomber who took his life, but his selflessness and that shown by personnel continuing the mandate of Boomer’s Legacy might be in the long run the only hope to mend the rift between West and East. Funds for Boomer’s Legacy do not grow on trees, as they say, which is why BC Boomer’s Bike Ride is so important. A two-day fundraiser that just happened during the weekend for the sixth year, it’s a two-day journey of 100 cyclists from the Comox Valley to the legislative buildings in Victoria. Bravo to the cyclists, who each committed to raising at least $300. Since 2006, over $830,000 has been raised for the Boomer’s Trust Fund. And, like the Terry Fox Run — another humanitarian venture sparked by the death of a B.C. hero — Boomer’s Rides have since sprung up outside the province. Boomer would be proud. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Record Question of the Week This week: Zero per cent of respondents so far think splitting Cumberland into two federal ridings is a good idea. Do you care one way or the other? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll on the mainpage. Judging from the throng of people Saturday, a good number of them from off Vancouver Island, the BC Shellfish festival in Comox is living up to its name.

The death of 46-year-old Courtenay man Stephen Mark Whitmore is a stark reminder of how logging remains one of the most dangerous occupations.

Ancient Rome coming to life Dear editor, ROME, ITALY — The citizens are being bombarded with news. The Colosseum will again be opening for the exciting Circus of Gladiators from all over the world, pitting themselves in a killing spree, and this year something special, man-eating lions and tigers will challenge the gladiators for the entertainment of the masses. The Caesars of the day have found that these dangerous blood sports provide an excellent distraction from the more pressing needs of the masses. Food is getting short. Hostile forces are approaching the walls

of the city. Sanitary conditions are deplorable. Disease is rampant and the Roman Empire is in decline. COMOX, B.C. — Headline news — a bigger, more exciting circus of aerobatics from all over North America is coming to entertain the masses and distract their minds from moreurgent priorities. Obviously with so much activity taking place in the air, the higher the probability of an exciting mid-air crash or maybe a crash into our only hospital, maybe a school. This should satisfy the egos of our highly paid top military

brass and politicians who we pay to make tough decisions for the future. The country is in debt up to its eyeballs. Health resources are deteriorating. Roads and bridges are falling apart. Our First Nations people are living in squalor. Food banks are unable to feed the increasing number of homeless people. Jobs for the unemployed, and especially for students graduating are scarce. Does Rome have to fall before our Caesars focus on priorities before mindless, dangerous distractions? A. Farrell, Comox

He’ll put garbage out every week Dear editor, So as of June 19 the Village of Cumberland is telling us that we need to take the garbage cans out every other week. Who was the one that thought this was a smart thing? I’m now going to keep my garage and the smells that come along with this and put it out every other week (the bears are

going to like this). I think not. So if you are like me, I will be putting my garbage out every week like they do everywhere else and I hope that everyone else does the same thing, because this is why I pay my taxes I thought because it not because of the road upgrades. If they do want me to put it out every other week, I guess my

garbage can should be bigger and give everyone a break on their water bill because everyone will wash their garbage so it does not smell. Please, could someone from the Village council write in and tell everyone in the Valley what they were thinking? T. Irving, Cumberland

Our water source needs management Dear editor, The June 6 writer (Have Your Say) who outlined the water situation in the Comox Valley was right on the mark! Rural gardeners are surcharged for irresponsible use of water while their neighbours in Comox and Courtenay use as much as they want on a low annual rate. Car washes pay less than rural folks who beautify their neighbourhoods with a bit of green and flowers. It is time to have a local water board that will direct the rates

for all consumers and provide water to all Comox Valley residents who need the service. All users need to pay for this, just like BC Hydro and Fortis — a common rate for the service. The CVRD has zero credibility

when there are water releases for kayakers, followed by sprinkling restrictions. Comox Lake is a very valuable resource — it needs to be managed. Phil Harrison, Little River

www.comoxvalleyrecord.com opinion

Dear editor, Norm Blondel wanted some proof that roundabout in high-traffic areas do not work. He cited M6 motorway in England, which he has driven to Wolverhampton with its roundabouts for exits as an example of functional high-traffic roundabouts. The M6 Motorway is a major highway in England running from the London area towards Glasgow through England’s industrial midlands. The British government posted this online about an M6 roundabout. “The slip roads off the M6 motorway at junction 9 are quite short and the traffic lights on the roundabout are old. These two factors, combined with the number of vehicles needing to access shops on the local retail park, mean that traffic sometimes queues back onto the motorway.” The quote is about a roundabout upgrade project to relieve traffic congestion. Here is the link for Norm to read on the UK highway agency website www.highways.gov.uk/roads/rprojects/m6-junction9-traffic-signal-upgrade. The link says the upgrade project is underway and will last till the end of June. In short, the roundabout causes traffic to back up all the way up the exit ramps and affects movement on the M6 motorway, the busiest highway in England. Nina Usherwood, Comox

Roundabouts OK sometimes Dear editor, There are good reasons why roundabouts are successful in some places, but less so in others. They work where vehicles are well and randomly dispersed, even if traffic volume is comparatively high. They definitely should not be used when any feeder road has nearby traffic lights. Stoplights bunch up vehicles, which subsequently arrive all at once, defeating the continuous movement desired by the roundabout. Many U.K. roundabouts have been overwhelmed by specific feeder volumes so that they have been equipped with traffic lights themselves. Most intersections without roundabouts also do not have stop signs, but instead are signed Give Way. Drivers are conditioned to look and blend without stopping. We in North America have been habituated to stop and perhaps do a few chores while waiting to David A Kelly, Courtenay proceed.

Stop burning fossil fuels, people Dear editor, I experienced an unpleasant surprise reading Scott Stanfield’s June 12 article about “Companies lining up with more coal mine proposals in Comox Valley Region.” As a climate change activist and retired environmental consultant, I expected some reference in the article to the recognized science that clearly shows the need to phase out all coal mining to avoid catastrophic breakdown of our climate (www. stopcoal.ca). But no, these

companies want to ignore the impacts of greenhouse gases on destroying our climate to make short-term money. Dr. Andrew Weaver, professor at the University of Victoria and a Nobel Prize winner as member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns us that: “If we burn the world’s accessible coal reserves we will destroy the benign and hospitable climate that has allowed human civilization to flourish.” So we all need to act on climate change. But

children’s future quality of life for short-term pleasure. Hey, did that sentence get you riled up? See what I mean — it’s not easy asking people to change their behaviour and act on climate change. Telling people to stop burning fossil fuels is like putting a dead rat in front of a nest of maggots — it starts an automatic feeding frenzy of selfentitlement. If they were really honest, I feel that many would like to say, “I have the right to burn as much fuel as I want: for my own pleasure, for my gas-guzzling cars, for taking huge planes for my vacation and for as many ocean cruises as I damn well want — and bye the bye, to hell with sustaining our climate for the next generation.” Yup, people have

the power of money is a formidable obstacle to creating a sustainable future for our kids. I have had many unpleasant discussions about this ever since I retired from environmental consulting to become a carbon-buster and climate change activist. Why unpleasant? Well, the coming breakdown of our climate demands that we examine every aspect of our lives, so it’s real easy to offend people — like telling them that flying to Hawaii for a vacation is an act of theft — stealing our

My math is OK, thanks Dear editor, I’d like to thank Nina Usherwood for her letter on the size of the Compliance Energy’s Raven Mine waste pile. The more attention that pile gets the better. However, I disagree with her math. Here are our calculations provided with the help of several friendly engineers. According to Compliance, the waste rock would be 1.1 million metric tonnes per year. That converts to roughly 675,000 cubic meters per year of waste rock. If stacked onto a CFL-sized football field — 110 yards long by 65 yards wide — over the course of a year this would reach a height of 112.9 metres. Over the 16-year lifespan of the project, that would equate to a height of 1,806.4 metres. For those keeping score at home, that would equal a height of 5,925 feet onto a CFL-sized football field — more than a 500-storey building. (A storey is approximate-

ly 10 feet.) To use a term favoured by my grandchildren, that waste pile would be “humongous.” A word of caution. We are using an illustration. The pile would not have square sides. And the actual dump site is much more than the size of a single football field. According to Compliance, the dump site would be 360,000 square feet — the size of about 60 football fields. If you could take the tour — which Compliance doesn’t seem to be giving any more — you would see that the waste site is in a slight valley that is still considerably above Fanny Bay and Baynes Sound. The bad stuff would roll downhill. As for Ms. Usherwood’s tourists, the few who come to look at the waste pile would come for one reason. They would

had really strong reactions to my climate change message; in this case, that we should not increase coal exports even though carbon emissions from India go into our common atmosphere to destroy this planet’s climate. But in the past, most people have being ignoring this reality — so much so that sometimes I feel as tired as that dead rat. And corporations are no different than most people — always looking at their own interests first. The alternative to exporting more coal of course is to create more jobs by switching to renewable energy sources — that would allow the next generation to have a good sustainable life. What a concept. Peter Nix, Maple Bay

Post office hundred years old The Union Bay Historical Society is gearing up to celebrate the local post office’s 100 years of serving the public. The tall, stately wooden building was built in 1912, and opened in 1913. Since then, it has been open six days a week to serve citizens through all kinds of weather, an earthquake, two world wars and restoration. It has been and still is the centre of town — when people come to pick up their letters and parcels, they meet friends, exchange gossip and discuss politics. For years it had the only cement sidewalk in town, where kids could bounce a ball, skip or play hopscotch.

Fred Brown, a larger-than-life man from Victoria, became the first postmaster. The building also housed the telegraph and telephone exchange, and the switch for the street lights (all six of them). Brown was also a telegrapher and manned everything. The Vancouver Island Regional Library moved into the building, and still remains. In the late 1980s, Public Works Canada decided to sell the building and close the post office. The Union Bay Historical Society was formed to save the building. After much negotiations and fundraising, they bought the building in 1993 and

completely restored it in 1995. Canada Post agreed to stay and has just signed another five-year lease to keep the postal outlet in its original home. Children open the same boxes with bevelled glass windows as their great grandparents did. Last year, the beautiful oak furnishings were restored. Drop in and mail a letter, or better still come to a two-day celebration: • Thursday, June 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Canada Post will issue a commemorative oneday-only cancellation stamp. Also, Canada Post has designed a postage stamp with the

post office on it. The historical society will sell antique postcards with these colourful postage stamps (legal tender) on them. • Friday, June 21. A history and humour show will be presented at Union Bay Community Hall at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10 at the door. The show will depict all the problems encountered in buying and restoring the building. As well, Fred and Sally Brown and their brood will take you back in time during Union Bay’s heyday. — Union Bay Historical Society

‘Air force brat’ supporting 19 Wing Artist donating $5,000 to help establish new scholarship Black Creek artist Brian Scott acknowledges that his childhood experiences as an “air force brat” are the main reasons he became an artist. “Travelling around the world provided me with experiences to draw upon as an artist that I would never have received otherwise,” he says. One of his favourite

trips was in a Hercules flying across Canada. “I had a bird’s eye view of the Canadian landscape.” Scott has painted a piece depicting 19 Wing Comox and the Comox Valley for the 19 Wing Fitness and Community Centre Mural Project, which will be revealed in September 2013. Prints of the mural were donated to the Comox Military Family Resource Centre as a fundraiser for the 19 Wing Youth Centre and a special scholarship at North Island College

Bucket of Blood tours returning Discover Cumberland’s history on the streets as the Cumberland Museum and Archives presents Bucket of Blood Walking Tours, hosted by local author Kim Bannerman. Set in Cumberland, Bucket of Blood is part local history and part gothic murder mystery. Observe and explore the alleys, side streets, and buildings featured in Kim’s latest novel, while delving into the rich history and captivating folklore Cumberland has to offer. Even if you have not yet read Bucket of Blood, you will find this tour steeped in intrigue! Tours cost $12 per

person, or $15 including an admission to the museum, and take place between 10 and 11:30 a.m. on a number of Saturdays throughout the summer months. Group bookings are available by request.

SCOTT that Scott is establishing for the dependants and spouses of military members. He is also donating $5,000 from his late father’s estate to help establish this new scholarship, the third scholarship he has helped to create. Scott’s father, Warrant Officer Ralph Scott, was in the Air Force for 32 years and was posted to England, France, Germany, Fort Nelson, Sea Island, Trenton, North Bay as well as Comox.

A strong believer in scholarships, Scott says, “If you give a student a well-earned grade and an award for $1,000 it can have a big impact on their career.” As a student, Scott received a similar scholarship from the Emily Carr College of Art. Scott suggested to the late Stan Hagen to set up a scholarship in the name of the late

artist Peter Robinson. Hagen raised $45,000, which now helps emerging artists in our community and is a living legacy for Robinson and Hagen. The two prints of the painting 19 Wing Perspective are available at Scott’s Black Creek studio as well as the Comox Military Family Resource Centre at 1575 Military Row. — Brian Scott

AN OIL PAINTING by Black Creek artist Brian Scott depicts 19 Wing Comox. Prints will be sold to raise funds for the 19 Wing Fitness and Community Centre Mural Project.
