Tapics steps down as president of Compliance Scott Stanfield Record Staff

A company that wants to operate a coal mine in the Comox Valley near Baynes Sound announced Thursday that its president has resigned from the position. “John Tapics has resigned as an officer of the company to pursue other opportunities,” Compliance Energy Corporation said in a news release. Tapics will continue with the company in an advisory

role and as a director. Stephen Ellis, who joined Compliance last year and served as vice-president of operations, has been appointed president and chief operations officer. Grant Tanaka has been appointed chief financial officer. “We will be able to draw on their respective underground coal mining, and financial and accounting experience as we advance the Raven Project,” chair Jim O’Rourke said.

❝

We’ll be busy working with our consultants and also meeting with the EAO (Environmental Assessment Office) and the CEAA (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency). That’s going to be months, not weeks.

❞

Stephen Ellis Tapics recruited Ellis, who has an extensive coal mining career spanning more than 30 years. He hails from the United Kingdom where he worked 27 years. He holds a first

class mine manager’s certificate of competency in the UK and New Zealand with mutual recognition of these in Australia. Tanaka has a background in accounting, corporate

finance, and mergers and acquisitions in the resource sector. Previously, he has held senior financial positions with New Gold and Teck Resources. “He was already working with Copper Mountain,” said Ellis, a Comox Valley resident. Ellis said Compliance will “continue with the re-submission of the application” for the Raven Project. “We’ll be busy working with our consultants and

also meeting with the EAO (Environmental Assessment Office) and the CEAA (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency). That’s going to be months, not weeks.” Last month, the provincial EAO rejected Compliance’s initial application. The company expects the mine would create about 350 full-time jobs and spinoff jobs. Estimates indicate it could operate 16 years.

After some heads-up sailing over the last two weeks, the crew of the Tripp Tease headed to the medal podium Saturday after capturing third place overall in Division 1 of the 2013 Black Press Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race. The biennial, 580-nautical mile race around Vancouver Island started June 8 in Nanaimo and finished there June 22.

Glen Staples, a former math instructor at North Island College, announced his intention to be on the ballot for MP in the next federal election expected in the spring of 2015. He will run as an independent candidate. Many North Islanders are unhappy with recent events highlighting the dissatisfaction with the Harper government and the Conservative Party of Canada. And yet it would be almost impossible for many of their supporters to vote for the opposition NDP that is still committed to its politically correct socialist agenda. Staples is hoping to provide an alternative, which will put the ‘conserve’ back into conservative. The Conservative Party of Canada is more

accurately described as libertarian, which is extreme liberal. Last year’s CPC conference had Ron Paul, U.S. Libertarian candidate for president as its keynote speaker. Staples is hoping to find common ground to form a general consensus in North Vancouver Island. It is impossible to completely satisfy all constituents but most North Islanders are reasonable people somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum. The problem right now is that the two leading parties are both highly ideological and they have polarized North Islanders into two camps each extreme motivated by fear of the opposite. Staples wants to hear what issues most concern North Islanders. He can be contacted at vote4glen@ gmail.com.

New traffic signals at Malahat Drive New traffic signals are being installed on Lerwick Road at Malahat Drive, improving safety for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians at this east Courtenay intersection. The signals will be activated in late July. Lesley Hatch, municipal engineer for the City of Courtenay, said the improvements will address changing traffic patterns and volumes, as well as follow up on a consultant’s recommendations for this intersection. “These changes were recommended as part of a traffic impact assessment

that was done for the East Courtenay Thrifty Foods development application,” advised Hatch. The improvements will include full traffic controls and signals. Pedestrians will have access to audible crossing signals, countdown display timers, and accessible push buttons. For cyclists, bicycle markings will show the best location to activate the traffic signals. For more information, contact the City of Courtenay engineering division at 250-334-4441 or e-mail engineering@courtenay.ca. — City of Courtenay

Held in Vancouver from June 5 to 8 this year, the competition featured over 500 competitors in 40 contest areas. Leclair competed against four others in the electronics contest, one each from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, and he completed a variety of tasks over the two-day challenge.

Courtenay council has approved in principle a contract request from the police that includes the addition of one officer as of next April and a budget exceeding $5.5 million. The City is responsible for 90 per cent of the budget, or more than $4.8 million — an increase of $36,880. The remaining 10 per cent is provided by the federal government. An additional officer would increase Courtenay’s share of 2014/15 contract costs by about $120,230. The total tax increase is about .9 per cent, and would generate tax revenue of $157,110, according to a report from financial services director Tillie Manthey. “It is doable from a financial perspective,” Manthey said at Monday’s meeting. She notes the City funds two officers from gaming revenue and two from traffic fines. The benchmark is one officer for every 750 persons. Statistics from 2011 indicate Courtenay’s population of slightly fewer than 25,000 was served by 30 police officers — one for every 832 persons. The provincial average was 759 persons.

Brooklyn musician back to boost Valley project

Ruben plays at series of fundraisers to help school

Renee Andor Record Staff

A new playground at the old Glacier View Elementary School site is about $2,500 closer to reality thanks to a series of fundraisers involving musician Jesse Ruben. Queneesh Elementary acting vice-principal Jen Turner notes her Grade 6 and 7 class came up with the idea to invite the New Yorkbased singer/songwriter back to the Valley to help fundraise for their project. “It’s a great start for the project,” Turner says of the $2,500, noting at least $20,000 is needed for a basic piece of playground equipment, and her students already have numerous fundraising ideas cooked up for the fall, including a raffle which is in the works for September. “They have lots of ideas, and I know that the families down at the Glacier View site, whose little kids are going to the Waiting for the Bus program, are so happy that this is getting some attention, and they’re so excited for the future of that site down there for a playground for their kids.” Now Glacier View Learning Centre, which is an alternate high school, the site has no playground as it was in disrepair and was torn down last year. But, the Waiting for the Bus program, which is similar to StrongStart, started at the school last year, and the toddlers in it haven’t had access to any playground equipment. When Turner’s class at Queneesh heard about the issue, they quickly suggested seeing if Ruben would come back to the Valley to help with some fundraisers for new playground equipment. Ruben came here earlier this year to help inspire Comox Valley students with his song We Can, which ties in well with the Valley’s I Can initiative — an initiative designed to empower students through self-directed community service projects.

says. “We (her and Ruben) visited four more that weren’t involved in the I Can showcase but they’re getting started, so it’s blossoming. “It’s like the first teachers who decided to try this idea, threw the rock in the water, and the ripples are still going.”

Ruben says he enjoyed seeing all the student completed I Can projects, many of which he saw in their early stages during his trip earlier this year. “To see the progress that they’ve made in six months and the stuff that they’ve done,

like some of the projects that those kids did were so incredible,” says Ruben. “I was totally blown away — from energy conservation to animal rescue, to like pretty heavy stuff, like sexual assault and women’s rights, and drug abuse and homelessness — and I mean they were heavy topics for these kids to take on and they really did it, they really went for it.” Ruben adds he’s amazed at the way the Comox Valley has embraced him, noting people recognized him all over the community, like when he went out for lunch or dinner or

HOSPITAL AUXILIARY PRESIDENT Audrey Greve, right, pushes a snack cart with help from another auxiliary member. Right, an auxilian volunteers at the hospital gift shop. PHOTOS BY ZAC WHYTE

St. Joe’s would be diminished without volunteers Renee Andor Record Staff Each month, the Comox Valley Record is featuring articles about the history of St. Joseph’s General Hospital, which celebrates its centennial this year July 7. This is the final article of the series. Sixty-thousand hours. That’s the amount of time volunteers spend, per year, helping out at St. Joseph’s General Hospital. “That’s about the equivalent of 35 full-time people,” says the hospital’s manager of volunteer services Pat Allan. “But, it’s spread over, in any month, between 280 and 300 people.” A whopping 750 people volunteer at the hospital — including casual volunteers — some helping to fundraise money for important equipment, and others providing a huge variety of services,

like reading to long-term care patients, working at the information desk and providing musical entertainment. And this spirit of volunteerism at St. Joseph’s is certainly nothing new. In fact, as the hospital celebrates its centennial year this summer, the St. Joseph’s Hospital Auxiliary is gearing up to celebrate its centennial year in 2014. Dona Cameron — who is a director on the hospital foundation board, was an executive on the Hospital Auxiliary during the 1990s, and worked as volunteer services manager for nearly a decade — remembers auxiliary fundraisers from when she was a child. “The main fundraisers were strawberry tea, which used to be held on the hospital grounds — I remember as a child in the 50s, going

to strawberry teas with my mom and my aunts — and then they did raffles, they did cake sales, bake sales…” recalls Cameron. “They would raise, maybe $1,800 or $2,000 — that was a lot of money in those days, a lot of money.” Allan notes the auxiliary,

which has more than 100 members, now raises about $200,000 per year for the hospital. Auxilians volunteer at the hospital gift shop and thrift shop, as well as other areas of the hospital. Meanwhile, Cameron notes others, who were not members of the auxiliary,

volunteered in other ways from the beginning of the hospital’s existence. “The old volunteers in my mother’s day… they gardened, they canned peas, and carrots, actually, and beans, I can remember that, and my memories go back to the late ‘40s,” says Cameron, adding others hemmed sheets, some would cut wood and deliver it to the hospital, and some would come by with treats like a man known as the Cocoa Man. “He was a short, rotund man, he came around every evening before lights out with a trolly and he brought cocoa and juice and tea,” she adds, noting she was in the hospital for months with polio as a child during the early ‘50s. “He just became my friend, like he would just stop at the door and talk to me every night.” Going back even further, others helped clear land and physically build and expand the hospital. Though the auxiliary has been around since the start, there was no formal volun-

teer program at the hospital until the late-90s, when the volunteer services program Allan manages came into existence. Allan notes volunteers range in age from Grade 5 to 94 years old. Volunteer groups at the hospital include the auxiliary, youth volunteers and general volunteers. She adds volunteers make a huge impact at the hospital, and points out the time and effort they give to help make St. Joseph’s the place it is. “It’s very humbling to know how many people give their irreplaceable time,” says Allan. “They could choose to do anything they want, but what they do is give 60,000 volunteer hours a year (to the hospital). “It’s a remarkable gift to the patients in residence and it also supports the staff at the hospital.” For more information about volunteering at St. Joseph’s visit www.sjghcomox.ca/volunteering.php.

Boys, Girls club gets own bus When you are out and about in the Comox Valley this summer, you won’t be able to miss the brightly coloured Boys and Girls Club bus. “It was a long time in the making, but through generous community support we finally made it happen and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product,” says Robin Smart, director human resources and manager operations for the

Comox Valley Club. “We had amazing community support and would like to thank the following individuals; without their fundraising efforts this wouldn’t have been possible: Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons, Jumpstart and the Rotary Club of Cumberland. In addition we’d also like to thank Steve and the team at ABC Printing for their generosity and workmanship

– the children love it!” In the Comox Valley, the club runs before and after school care programs at Aspen Park Elementary, and Brooklyn Elementary as well as providing spring and summer day camps and facilitating parenting programs for local families.

Your carefree commute to the beach is back. The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and BC Transit are bringing back the Beach Bus with expanded service to Goose Spit Park from June 21 to Sept. 8. The Beach Bus was first introduced last summer with weekend rides only. This year the Beach Bus will run seven days a week. The Beach Bus will see four return trips Monday to Friday, extended weekend service and an additional service running from Thrifty’s on Ryan Road direct to the beach on Sunday. “Goose Spit Park is one of Comox Valley’s most popular places to visit in the summer,” said Don McRae, MLA for Comox Valley. “Daily Beach Bus commutes are a great opportunity for visitors and residents to travel to Goose Spit Park without having to worry about driving and parking their vehicles, and have a fun day at the beach.” “Last year, the Beach Bus pilot program offered residents and visi-

tors a great way to get to the Spit while avoiding traffic and parking problems,” said Edwin Grieve, chair of the CVRD’s board of directors. “Having the bus run seven days a week is an excellent service for those who don’t drive or who don’t want to drive, but still want to get to the park in the summer. “Now all you need for a day at the beach is your water bottle, a hat, sunscreen and your bus pass!” “We hope our customers take advantage of the Beach Bus,” said BC Transit President and CEO Manuel Achadinha. “Goose Spit is a popular summer destination in the Comox Valley and we are pleased to see this seasonal service expanded to better serve our customers.” Regular fares will apply; $1.75 for adults and $1.50 for seniors/youth.

Photo-op just not enough When police and B.C’s anti-gang squad busted two of Greater Victoria’s “top-level” suspected drug traffickers recently, they held a press conference and laid out a large quantity of drugs and paraphernalia for photographers and news media to record. Police were proud to display their bounty, saying it “dismantled (the suspects’) ability to make money and create crime.” But much like a fishing expedition, the suspects were caught and released, like large trophy fish, back to society. The reason, police say, is to allow investigators time to establish a maximum number of criminal charges. Police further stated they are “concerned” that both ammunition and gun holsters were found, but no weapons. Can we surmise from this then, that these two “highest priority targets on Vancouver Island,” who supposedly operated their grow-op-come-drug storage operations in heavily populated neighbourhoods filled with families and children, are now out and about with weapons? Police admit the two suspects have a history of violent crime, drug trafficking and connections to organized drug crime in the Lower Mainland. How can the public have any confidence in our justice system, if, after the arrest of suspected criminals police say “represent the top of the food chain for the Greater Victoria area,” they are allowed to walk away – even if only temporarily and under a close watch? The police may have made a dent in their operations, but there is no doubt that these two highly organized, apparently successful drug dealers will be able to pick up where they left off with the help of lesser-known and less-watched associates. The arrest of suspects at that level needs to be more than simply a photo-op for police. The public deserves to know that along with taking the drugs off the street, the people behind the drugs Victoria News are off the street as well.

Summer is off to a rainy start in the Comox Valley; let’s hope the sun starts shining through soon so we can hit the great outdoors and enjoy all the great recreational opportunities the Valley has to offer.

Jesse Ruben great role model Dear editor, Last Thursday, my 10-year-old grandson who attends Queneesh Elementary School and I went to the Jesse Ruben outdoor concert at École Puntledge Park. Earlier in the day he had shown up at Queneesh unannounced and performed an impromptu concert for the children at their lunch break. Attendance that evening was very good for a school night, with maybe 100 children and parents (and one grandparent) listening enthusiastically to this young man perform his own songs. After a few songs, it started to rain. With good humour, Jesse continued to play and sing, while some held umbrellas over him and his equipment. At one point, I was impressed at his statement that he wanted to sing music suitable for the age group of children, but also something that the adults would enjoy. As the rain continued, it was decided to take the remainder of the concert indoors and have an autograph-signing session. A couple more songs were performed inside, without sound equipment, and the autographing began. Jesse announced he would stay until every child who wanted to have an autograph and/or photo taken with him was satisfied, and he did exactly that. He was concerned that everyone who wanted a poster should have one, and I saw him take out his wallet and give $5 to a girl to purchase one. The lineup went down one wall of the gymnasium, and partway along a second wall. We left after 8:30, and there were still a few stragglers. He took the time to talk to every child who had something to say to him. My grandson was thrilled to have Jesse sign his poster and pose with him for a photo. I am not a fan of popular music, so until earlier this year when he first paid a visit to the Valley during the I Can initia-

tive, I had never heard of Jesse Ruben. My grandson was very enthusiastic about attending his concert at Queneesh, so his father took him to the first one. I felt privileged to attend the concert this time at École Puntledge Park. While the music isn’t really to my taste, I listened intently to

his lyrics, and I was pleased and touched with what I heard. His songs are about life, mostly his life, but also about his family and friends, and one song that touched me, involved encouragement for a girl he met who was losing her mother to cancer. In a day of so many questionably suitable role models for young people among the current celebrities, I found Jesse Ruben is a wonderful role model for my grandson, who is also musical. Jesse was generous and patient, and very humble. I really thank him for enlightening this grandmother with his songs and particularly with his caring for his fans. He said he wished more communities were like ours. I wish we had more celebrities like him. Christine van’t Riet, Comox

Not my cash for this bridge

What a razzle-dazzle Dear editor, According to Mineral Titles B.C., in 2007 Compliance Energy applied for a license to explore the coal deposits in the Anderson Lake area. Their request finally made its way to the top of the queue. Some months ago the department checked with Compliance to confirm that it still wanted the licence. It said it did. The recent statement by Mr. Stephen Ellis, Compliance’s VP of Operations, that the company has no intention of exploring either the Anderson Lake or Bear Coal Mine areas, has caused some confusion. It was news to Mineral Titles B.C. So why is Compliance putting the CVRD and other groups that must be consulted through all this trouble when it doesn’t intend to proceed? What a razzle-dazzle. This situation reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon. The Grim Reaper with his black hoodie, long black cloak and sickle over his shoulder is knocking on the door of an apartment. A terrified man answers. The reaper is handing him a note and saying, “Now don’t freak out. This is just a ‘save the date’ notice.” The request for the Anderson Lake licence coincided with a similar request from Hillsborough Resources Ltd., the owner of the Quinsam Mine near Campbell River. It wants to explore the development of a mine in the Oyster River area at the northern border of the CVRD. Gwyn Sproule nailed it when she suggested that we are in the midst of a “coal rush.” These new mines represent a clear and present danger to the whole character of our Valley. So what can we do about them? In the past we had some hope that governments would protect our homeland. But not any longer.

Mr. Harper has introduced legislation to fast-track all future mining projects. At the same time he has gutted environmental legislation to protect fish and their habitat and he has silenced federal scientists. Christy Clark has committed herself to supporting the development of eight new mines and the expansion of nine others. Both governments have limited or cut the number of public servants overseeing the environment. Local governments, handcuffed by outdated mining legislation, have no real decisionmaking authority. Nor does the private sector provide encouragement. The Comox Valley Economic Development Council has a mandate to support mining. A few months ago it mentioned Raven Mine as a benefit in a full-page ad promoting the Comox Valley in the Victoria Times-Colonist. What lies ahead? One day in the near future will we see a sign on the outskirts of Fanny Bay: “Welcome to the Comox Valley—the Home of Coal?” Will someone be running daily, Appalachian North tours of the Raven, Bear, and Anderson Lake mines —and throw in the Oyster River and Quinsam mines for good measure? We are realizing what Dorothy realized about the homeland she loved when she said, “Toto, I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore.” But we are not in Dorothy’s imaginary world of Oz. We are in the real world facing real dangers. As has been the case before in this valley, protecting it is up to us. But to do so we have to pay special attention to the folks behind the corporate curtains. They are doing the coal mine two-step while they spin the development wheels and create the razzle-dazzle. Mike Bell, Comox

Just collateral damage? Dear editor, I haven’t heard many writers mention the road fatalities that are likely to occur during the 17-year operation of the mine, and transportation of the coal to Port Alberni. At a meeting some time ago, we were told that the trucks would be hauling a trailer and running every half hour, 24 hours a day for 17 years. School buses are using these

roads. Yes, there are logging trucks as well but never in the numbers that the Raven mine would be operating. Are we to be told that this will just be collateral damage (so sorry and just get on with it)? I would like to see the names and address in print of the people responsible for trying to put this mine into operation. Jim Peloquin, Courtenay

BROOKLYN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL teachers Marcia Green and Cathy Bulger are thanked for attending a recent tea party.

Two teachers thanked for tea Dear editor, I would like to thank Brooklyn Grade 3 teachers Marcia Green and Cathy Bulger for graciously attending the tea party that my friend Tessa Stewart and I assembled for our daughters and all of the other Grade 3 girls after school at Tessa’s home one fine June day. These two teachers not only attended the tea in glorious attire, but (we heard through the grapevine) opted to spend the afternoon with the girls rather than with their peers at a special gathering. I am sure that all of the parents are grateful for all that these teachers have done for the children during the school year, from creating interesting science and math projects to organizing cross-country runs and an afternoon of dance, executing various field trips, as well as providing basic skills — and for always doing these things with good cheer. The children have learned a great deal. And now, these lucky

girls might years from now nostalgically say, “Do you remember the day that our teachers came to tea?” Lisa Grant, Comox Valley

Dear editor, I had hoped I would never see the subject of the wooden bridge come up again. The chairman of the Courtenay River Bridge Steering Committee has presented a cheque to Courtenay council to keep the project alive. I guess you shouldn’t look at this offering with a jaundiced eye, even though it is difficult not to do so. But with an estimated cost of $2.8 million and the fact that the City has already spent $70,000 dollars for a feasibility study how far do they think $17,000 will go. I would like to quote chairman Holland as stated in your paper. “We’ve said before, we’re not asking for more money from the taxpayers.” “We’re not asking for Courtenay taxpayers’ dollars.” “We will be going to higher levels of governments for programs and grants.” I think chairman Holland should go

back to school to learn where all levels of government get their money. I can tell him it’s from us taxpayers. There’s only we taxpayers paying into the pie to be divided up in more ways than I care to think. I will say it loud and clear again. I do not want any more of my tax dollars spent on a wooden bridge. I see Coun. Ambler is all for it and is going to try to get City staff to provide the expertise. Where is the money going to come from to pay staff for this expertise? I was glad to see the voice of wisdom, Coun. Winchester, say, “Council has to set their priorities.” I would say the priorities should be repairing infrastructure. I hope all Courtenay taxpayers will feel as I do and ensure the tax and spenders are not re-elected. Bernie Guyader, Courtenay

Silks of Cambodia coming soon to Filberg Lodge It is well known the Filberg Heritage Lodge supports amazing art and culture in the Comox Valley. But did you know that their support for fair trade has been making a difference to artisans in Cambodia? This April, Cambodia’s finest artists went to New York City for a month-long Season of Cambodia. San Vannary designed all the dancers’ silk costumes for a performance called A Bend in the River. Vannary has been able to rise to the top of her field by selling her exquisite silk accessories through select outlets like the Filberg

Gift Shop. Floating Stone Silks, created by the Comox Valley’s Lynda Drury, travels the silk roads to bring back handloomed silk accessories and other ethically purchased wonders. This Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., visit the Filberg Gift Shop to see her full line of fair trade silks and recycled fabric bags and purses. Ask about her Silk Tour in Cambodia and Laos in February 2014, where you will meet Vannary and other amazing creative people. The tour offers a tapestry of vivid experiences. Chat with artisans

HAND-LOOMED SILK ACCESSORIES and ‘other ethically purchased wonders’ will be available this Saturday at the Filberg Lodge.

CUMBERLAND RESIDENT TONY Morino, with his wife Janice Brown, is excited to receive his brand new Kona Dew commuter bike from Craig Harris of Simon’s Cycles in Comox.

Cycling pays off This year’s Bike to Work Week winner is a husband-and-wife team from Cumberland, Team Cumbie. Janice Brown and Tony Morino logged 190 km and saved 44 kg of greenhouse gases out of the 19,587 km and 4,544 kg logged throughout the Comox Valley from May 27 to June 2. This is the second year that Brown and Morino have participated in the Bike to Work Week challenge and it will be the last year that Morino needs to borrow a commuter bike from a friend. His new ride is a 2013 Kona Dew donated by Simon’s Cycles. For Morino, who works as a civilian employee at CFB Comox, it is 19.8 km from his doorstep to his shop but it is worth the ride. Bike to Work Week is a great kickoff to build endurance as he heads into mountain bike season, and he credits the enthusiasm of the celebration stations to keep him motivated. — Bike to Work Comox Valley

AN ART EXHIBIT on Denman Island opening June 27 features the work of former island residents Dante Ambriel and Tashi Draper.

Strolling the Fringe captures beauty of Denman Exhibit features collection of 26 20x28-inch photos with large map of Denman Island Christine Stewart Contributor

DENMAN ISLAND — The Denman Island Summer Art Gallery’s third show of the season will feature former Hornby Islanders Dante Ambriel and Tashi Draper, both well-known on the Hornby and Vancouver arts scenes.

This is their fourth summer on Denman at their Swan Road property. Like many of us when we acquired our property, they were initially unable to focus on anything besides cleanup and renovations, but they have since found the time to go out and, as they put it, “see what Denman looks like.” They have walked through forests, along lake trails, around old farms, and down rocky paths to hidden beaches, discovering unsuspected beauty in coves and inlets, freshwater creeks, waterfalls, mosses and rock formations. Most of all they have strolled

the fringe of the island, exploring the access points of the Denman shoreline and photographing the ever-changing interface of sea and shore. They felt that what they were seeing was so extraordinary, with such a magical quality, it deserved something special. Strolling the Fringe is their tribute to their new home and they are lyrical and passionate about it. They are presenting a collection of 26 20x28-inch photographs with a large map of Denman Island beach access points to facilitate our understanding of where each image comes from and the time of year

it was captured. Each one was shot seven times at different exposures, and the seven shots fused in such a way as to maximize the best features of each for an optimum representation of the beauty of each place. The photographs are printed on a special metallic silver paper which gives a reflective quality to the image, an almost 3D effect. One photograph was taken at Gravelley Bay on a sunny day in the herring season. The bright turquoise colour of the water and the reflection of the sun on the ripples where the herring are, is nothing less than magical.

We are so used to seeing photographs on a computer screen or monitor that we now take the back-lit effect for granted. Seeing a framed photograph on a wall normally gives a less luminous effect, but not in the case of these, which seem to have a light of their own. If you are a photographer, you won’t want to miss this show. The exhibit opens at 7 p.m. on June 27 and runs until July 9. The Denman Gallery is right at the top of the ferry hill and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (1 to 3:45 p.m. on Sundays). — Denman Island Summer Art Gallery

DRUMMER LEN WILKIE (far right) of the Lensmen is part of a new group called Velvet Swing that performs Thursday in a Georgia Straight Jazz Society gig.

Quintet puts‘ooo’ in smooth The Georgia Straight Jazz Society’s 2012-13 season will come to a summer break in a couple of weeks. Before it does, you still have the opportunity to come down to the Avalanche Bar to listen to great live jazz, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The smoothest jazz in the valley is coming to the Avalanche this Thursday, when Velvet Swing returns with its unique and new sound to entertain you with a selection of the best tunes of the Great American Songbook. With Brent Hart on piano, Mike Schwartz on saxophones, Len Wilkie on drums, Roger Purdy on

bass and Kate Morrisson on vocals this quintet puts the “ooo” in smoooth! Regular jazz audiences are familiar with the popular work of Brent, Len and Mike, the three founding members of Velvet Swing, and the band is very excited to be joined by Roger Purdy, a bass player who grew up to Gershwin, Miles, and has a love of Broadway musicals. His deft touch on the bass provides a solid foundation for the rest of the band. Wonderful vocalist Kate spends a lot of her time in musical theatre, but she’s been persuaded to branch out and let her soaring

voice make songs like Skylark, Dream, and In a Sentimental Mood come alive again. Len Wilkie’s Sinatra-like vocal stylings are always a treat to hear since they have long been the hallmark of the original band, and Mike and Brent will also offer up a vocal or two. The group has selected a wide range of tunes from Blue Bossa to The Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers to Duke’s Place, so that Mike and Brent can pass out some really tasty improvisations. Easy going jazz! Perfect for a relaxed summer evening’s entertainment. If you

haven’t sampled live jazz in our new Eighth Street location, come on down and discover what so many people reckon is the best way to enjoy Thursday evenings, and kickstart an early weekend. For more information about the Jazz Society and its goals, visit www.georgiastaightjazz.com or see it on Facebook. The season closer will be held July 4. The new performance year will commence Sept. 12, with a mix of familiar and new acts over a 40-week period. So much good jazz — but best of all — it’s live. — Georgia Straight Jazz Society

Guitarist headed to Cumberland

The Pete Anderson Trio performs as part of the Vancouver Island MusicFest Concert Series on Aug. 2 at the Cumberland Hotel. Pete Anderson is a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning producer and ground-breaking guitarist, who melds blues and country to forge a style all his own. Known as a pioneer in the roots-rock genre and an early champion of the Americana movement, he had a hand in introducing the world to artists such as Michelle Shocked, Lucinda Williams, Jim Lauderdale, Rosie Flores and perhaps most famously, his musical partner of 20 years, Dwight Yoakam. Pete is also a renowned bandleader who has played over 3,000 live shows in upwards of 15 countries around the world and has appeared on Saturday Night Live, David Letterman and The Tonight Show (19 times since 1986). Pete has released five critically acclaimed solo records on his own label Little Dog Records with another one in the pipeline. With years of critical and commercial success to his name, not only as a guitarist and producer, but also as a songwriter, Pete is returning to his passion, the blues. In addition to being a `producer/musician, Anderson is also a businessman creating his own independent record label, Little Dog Records, over 15 years ago. Little Dog Records has released records from a cross-section of artists that represent a wide range of American roots music, including Pete’s own solo work. From the blue collar, mixed race neighbourhoods of Detroit to Hollywood’s early roots-rock scene and country music stardom to the new digital music industry and beyond, Anderson’s talent, work ethic, and innovative spirit have not only set him apart from the herd, but ensure his continued presence as a bright point in the future of the American music scene.

FORMER RCMP OFFICER Ian Parsons has written about his 33-year career and will discuss it June 27 at the Courtenay Library.

RCMP tales told by expert Ian Parsons will be at the Courtenay Library on June 27 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss his 33-year adventure in the RCMP. It’s all detailed in his book No Easy Ride: Reflections on My Life in the RCMP, an adventure that took him from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, with many stops in between. Ian will share colourful stories and insightful observations about his many roles within the RCMP, from postings in rural detachments, where he dealt with diverse policing issues, to stints teaching at the Canadian Police College in Ottawa and at the RCMP Academy in Regina. As stated by Morley Lymburner from Blue Line magazine, “I can only imagine a few people who could share the experiences as well as Ian Parsons. No Easy Ride leaves nothing to the imagination about where the force has come from and where it should be going.” Originally from Saskatchewan, Ian trained as a musician and then joined the RCMP in 1961. He also has a BA in Psychology and Law from Carleton University. He has worked in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Newfoundland, Manitoba and BC, and he currently lives in Courtenay. This is a free event, open to all. The Courtenay library is located at 300 Sixth St. For

Bams gets boost of new boots for trip to Russia Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Local soccer standout Dylan Bams leaves this week for Kazan, Russia to represent Team Canada at the International University Sports Federation (FISU) games next month. The first stop is Guelph, Ont. for a training camp before the first game against France July 5. The squad then faces Peru July 8 and Brazil July 10. There are 16 teams in the tournament. The final is July 16. Bams, a 23-year-old midfielder from Fanny Bay, earned a spot on the 18-man roster from more than 100 CIS and NCAA players. He is enrolled in physical education at the University of Toronto, where he finished a five-year stint playing with the Varsity Blues soccer team. He was a fourtime provincial all-star. In his last year he was named team MVP. He helped the Blues to three provincial

Bams grew up playing soccer in the Comox Valley, moving through the house league system as a kid and eventually into rep teams.

At 14, he played for Nanaimo’s Upper Island Gunners in the B.C. Select League. In high school, he helped the 2008 G.P Vanier soccer

Tombstone winners were Gene Renaud and Fran Hutchison, 2nd Ellie Nicholas and Marie Israel, 3rd Janet Edwards and Brenda Livingstone.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, June 25, 2013

Scotch Pairs was tight contest Courtenay lawn bowlers Vern Greenhill and April Gilchrist won their four games in the Brazen Sportswear Scotch Pairs, June 15-16 at the home green, to take the big trophy. Having won their four games, they then had to face fellow club members Pat Cutt and Al Hopwood (who had also won their four games) in a threeend playoff for total points. Just to keep the crowd entertained, and oohing and aahing over the shots being made, the score was tied after three ends so a fourth was played with only two bowls (instead of four) being rolled by each bowler. The final shot came close and required a measurement for the winners. Of the 10 prizes awarded, five went to Courtenay bowlers: Vern and April, Pat and Al, Melie Ursulom and John Kendall were third. Archie and Linda Harris and Carole Nelson and Peter Harding also only lost one game of their four. Qualicum’s John Wilson and Jane Neilson placed in the A event as well. With Parksville players Stu and Jan MacNaughton as well as defending champions Eileen and Bob Milsom of Powell River also in the mix, other clubs were well represented. This is a great game and newcomers are always welcome. In May, the execu-

Cyclists conquer challenging Minto road course Under sunny skies and rising temperatures, 29 riders lined up to contest the Comox Valley Cycle Club’s Minto Road Race. With three categories on offer; A’s racing 81km, B’s racing 63km, and C’s racing 36km, the tough Minto circuit took its toll as seven riders did not finish between the A and B categories. Fourteen A riders lined up to start an exciting race that featured two solo breakaways and an elite

selection of out-of-town riders. CVCC alumni Jordan Duncan (Team Russ Hay’s/Accent Inns) took the win as he prepares for nationals this coming weekend. The heat and length of the race took its toll with eight riders pulling out early during the A race. In category B, nine riders lined up for a fast race. After a series of attacks five riders escaped and the final came down to a group sprint. Local

rider Nicholas Parlee took the win after his twin brother, Damian, unfortunately flatted. In C category eight riders lined up with local rider Hugh Park breaking away, followed shortly by outof-town rider Allie Guenther. Working together for the full race, Hugh sprinted for the win over Allie. The Comox Valley Cycle Club had four riders going to Cycling Nationals to ride for CyclingBC this past weekend in Quebec;

ers, head coaches, and fine food all made the evening a special one to end Vanier’s muchtouted athletic seasons – ones that rival any in the province at the Triple A level. All the Grade 8 and 9 athletes received Certificates of Merit for participating in sport throughout the past school year. Eight of these athletes also received Athlete of the Year and All Around Athlete of the Year awards …the future of Vanier’s athletics looks promising. Vanier inducted three main players in our community sports for their accomplish-

ments in sport not only at Vanier but beyond. Murray McRae (builder), Steve Knight (builder) and Simon Nessman (athlete) will each have their plaques posted on the Wall of Fame in the gym. For mini-bios of these three, prepared by Vanier athletic director Larry Street, read this story online at www.comoxvalleyrecord.com under ‘sports’. One of last year’s Wall of Fame inductees was the main speaker this year. Cam Levins was the NCAA athlete of the year in track and an Olympian for Canada in London.
