Petroleum producers seeking‘balance’ Renee Andor Record Staff

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) made a special trip to the Comox Valley in an effort to ‘find a balance.’ Janet Annesley, one of CAPP’s vice-presidents, visited the Valley last week to talk to community members about what an expanded oil and natural gas industry could mean to B.C. She and others knowledgeable in the industry — like a person

knowledgeable about pipelines, and another about tanker traffic — met with Comox Valley citizens at a Find a Balance Community Café at Rocky Mountain Café in Comox. They also held an event at Filberg Park. “What we’re exploring through this Find a Balance series is how to have better conversations,” said Annesley. “There’s sometimes the tendency for conversations to break down into conflict, and that conflict is the enemy of trying to find a balance and actually reach a

solution. “Too much, we get bogged down in a polarity discussion, and there’s really no point in having a ‘he said-she said’ kind of conversation. So, we are here to try to get at what issues are and have a reasonable conversation.” Annesley said the community café saw a strong turnout representing a wide array of opinions. Some people showed up to support the oil and gas industry, some had strong concerns about things like possible pipeline spills and tanker traffic along the coast,

and some were on the fence and wanted more information. “I would say that group made up the majority of the people who came,” she added of the people unsure of their stance. She said questions were brought up about everything from safeguards and oil spill cleanup procedures to potential economic benefits from a liquified natural gas export terminal in Kitimat to questions about competition from other countries for Asian markets. ... see OIL ■ 3

The Province is contributing upwards of $267,000 this year to support programs and activities to enhance aboriginal learners’ experiences at North Island College. In a Friday announcement, NIC president Dr. Jan Lindsay said the money is “extremely important to the college,” which serves 35 First Nations in the region — among the largest served by any B.C. college. T h e m o n e y allows NIC to place an aboriginal DON MCRAE adviser on each of the four campuses, supports Elder in Residence programs in the Valley and Campbell River, and supports a field school for the nursing program in a remote location. “I think all of these things are making a very significant difference in the degree to which we can serve that population,” Lindsay said. Comox Valley MLA Don McRae — noting the importance of ensuring students are educated close to home — said the investment at NIC is modest. “We always look to do more. I hope I can raise more dollars, not just for these kind of programs but for all programs to North Island College.” ... see JOB ■ 3

Fashion hub closing doors Renee Andor Record Staff

A longtime hub for fashion in downtown Courtenay will close its doors at the end of August. Sylvia Webb, owner of Sylvie’s Boutique, has decided to close her successful Fifth Street business so she can semiretire. “I’ve been in business 20 years and it’s just time,” Webb says of her decision, noting she’s ready to slow the pace of her life, and she will miss her many loyal customers. “I’ve had great customers, customers that have turned into friends — and just seeing them having children, and their children having children…

“I’ve had some great loyal customers and I really appreciate the business that I’ve got from them — my success is from them.” Webb chose to close her business rather than sell it. She’s holding a closingout sale on her women’s clothing and accessories until the end of August to clear out her product. Sylvie’s Boutique opened in 1993 in the old Eaton’s building, and stayed there for about six years before moving to its current location at the corner of Fifth Street and Duncan Avenue. Along with Webb herself, her shih tzu dogs have been a constant fixture in the store. Three generations of Webb’s

dogs have spent their days greeting customers at Sylvie’s. Chewy was the first, then Webb got one of his offspring she named Maggie May, and she kept one of Maggie May’s puppies, called Buddha Boy. As for Webb, she plans to spend more time gardening, putting some finishing touches on her and her husband’s home they built a few years ago and using her previous career in health care to help others. “I’m going to volunteer at the hospital,” she says, noting she would like to help out in St. Joseph’s emergency department and possibly at The Views. Besides the desire to slow down the pace of her life, Webb says she consid-

ered the financial pressures of running a small business downtown when she decided to close her doors. “It’s tough. It’s been tough for the last couple of years,” she says, adding Comox Valley residents should shop downtown to help it stay vibrant. She makes a point of doing all her Christmas shopping downtown to help support the other businesses, for example. “For downtown to survive we need to shop locally in downtown,” she says. “Businesses survive because of local people shopping locally — they don’t survive on tourism because tourism isn’t 12 months of the year.” writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Cable ferry meetings set

Meeting Tuesday for NDP NDP members and friends from the Comox Valley and the North Island are gathering July 30 at 5 p.m. at the K’ómoks Band Hall on Comox Road for their annual general meeting and summer potluck. “We are resolutely turning our faces to the future,” reports Kathryn Askew, president of the Vancouver Island North Federal NDP Riding Association. “Whatever the BC NDP decides to do provincially will unfold over the next few months, but we are also a federal party with planning to undertake for an election in 2015.” The most pressing matter for federal riding associations in B.C. right now, according to Askew, is to reorganize within the new ridings established by the Electoral Boundaries Commission. A decision on the actual boundaries for Vancouver Island North and neighbouring areas is expected in September. Associations will be recreated according to guidelines established by Elections Canada. The executive committee elected at Tuesday’s meeting will oversee that process. Member of Parliament for Burnaby-New Westminster Peter Julian will address the July 30 meeting at 7 p.m. Elections will follow Julian’s presentation. For more information, e-mail ndpvin@ live.ca or leave a message on Facebook (NDP VI North). — Vancouver Island North Federal NDP Riding Association

LEE MURRAY POINTS to the spot where he dove into the Courtenay River to rescue a drowning woman. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

Hero rescues woman Erin Haluschak Record Staff

What began as an afternoon paddleboarding down the Courtenay River turned into a dramatic rescue for Lee Murray on Tuesday afternoon, when he came to the aid of a woman tubing near Lewis Park. The Comox Valley resident was on the river with his kids as he saw a woman whose tube flipped over and she began to drift backwards. “At that point, there was no panic. All of a sudden, she went down under the water, and her friend started to scream that she couldn’t swim, so I dove in and swam where she was and dove down to her,” explained Murray. He said the woman, 60, had a bag with a piece of rope, between six to eight feet long attached to her hip that had anchored itself onto some rocks under the water. “She was being pulled under and the rope had wrapped around her neck twice, so she was being

asphyxiated,” he added. Murray grabbed the woman’s ankle, dislodged the bag and pulled her on her back and floated about 200 yards down the river to the beach area, where emergency personnel were called. “(She was) pretty distressed. She had laboured breathing ... she was not a very good colour,” he noted. “She was conscious but unresponsive.” The woman was transported to St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox then airlifted to Victoria General Hospital due to the seriousness of her condition, confirm Comox Valley RCMP. Police added she is in stable condition and staff are hopeful for a positive recovery. Murray said the best piece of advice he can offer others is to wear a lifejacket when planning water activities. “Rivers are funny things — the water is always moving — it’s not like a lake or the ocean. It’s a different animal, and anything can happen at any time.” photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

We could become hub for‘social innovation’ Record Staff

Comox Valley MLA Don McRae’s latest cabinet post could help the Comox Valley become a showcase for social innovation in B.C., says business consultant/marketing specialist Sandra Hamilton. McRae’s ministry switched this year from education to social development and social innovation. The latter was coined in the 1990s but the concept has been around for more than 150 years. Social Innovation challenges conventional thinking, and approaches old problems in new ways. In March, B.C. created a new way of incorporating a business whereby companies are required to make a community contribution. Dubbed Community Contribution Companies (C3s), the legislation comes into effect at the end of July. “That happens to be the first time in 100 years that there is a new way of incorporating a business,” Hamilton said. “We now have an opportunity to bring very unlikely partners together.” For instance, nonprofits and for-profits could collectively form a C3 to achieve something beneficial to a community. “The non-profits will get earned revenue, which is what they need because their grants and donations are only in decline,” Hamilton said. “It allows a private investor to join a charity for community good.

We’ve never had a vessel where you could do that before.” This is called social enterprise, a business that uses market forces to address a social problem. Hamilton has helped create Canada’s first MBA in social enterprise leadership. Previously, she was in the business of transitioning Olympians such as Silken Laumann. “The question I wake up with most mornings is what could the Comox Valley also be? Asking ourselves to think about where we live, and how might we want to do things differently to get where we would like to go.” Why, for instance, are we building a new hospital without a child care centre? Why is it difficult to serve local food in a hospital? Why donate to Value Village — which is a private, American cor-

poration — instead of the Salvation Army or the Comox Valley Transition Society’s Too Good to be Threw? “Social innovation is about addressing those kind of problems,” Hamilton said. With two new hospitals on the horizon locally and in Campbell River, she said the Valley has four and a half years to ramp up farm and food supply. “How often do you get four and a half years to ramp up production before something opens?” she said, noting the difficulty of changing a food supply chain of an existing

hospital. If the community gave farmers 30-year contracts, it would see a transition from farmers’ market to commercial production, which would achieve food security, better food and nutrition, jobs and environmental improvement. In addition, profits made from food sold in hospitals would fund social programs. She notes the Vancouver Island Health Authority has no food procurement policy, which means a contract winner is not obliged to identify food producers. “That’s archaic,” Hamilton said, noting organizations typically have language in purchasing which considers social and environmental impacts. If McRae could change the rules

around social impact purchasing, Hamilton said we would be able to keep money in the community for a longer duration, and insist any public authority first has to buy locally before supplies are depleted. “We need all of our politicians to shift our thinking,” Hamilton said. “We have to get out of the silos.

Although Disney Studios wrote the same animated story with the same characters and the same theme numerous times, any live production of The Little Mermaid presents choreographing opportunities, staging challenges and complex vocal numbers that make it an unusually delightful Disney offering. An unexpected treat, this summer’s Rainbow Youth Theatre production of Mermaid appeals to children of all ages. Starting with the starcrossed mermaid Ariel’s (Shannon Caine) infatuation with the human Prince Eric (Hayden Ledingham), whom she hasn’t even met, followed by her father King Triton’s (Gary Caine) insistence that human’s are barbaric fish-eaters and dangerous, the play itself harks back to Disney classics like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. That’s where comparisons leave off, thanks to Mermaid’s director, choreographer and allaround driving force, Tamara Ryan Telford. With years of professional experience in dance and musical theatre, as well as teaching expertise gained as one of the owners of Triple Heat Dance Studio located in Tin Town, Telford claims that she’s still a kid at heart, which allows her to relate to her young performers so well.

“I listen to their music and I watch the moves they make,” says Telford, “and from there I create choreography that’s interesting, but simple and attainable.” Regularly, she appeals to her young actors by reminding them that they are privileged to be on stage and that they owe their audiences the very best performance each time the curtain rises. And, in Mermaid, the curtain rises on numerous scenes that are challenging to stage including ones that take place on board a ship, on a beach, in a throne room, and in the depths of the ocean.

And it’s in the depths of the ocean that the audience meets perhaps the most interesting character in the musical, the evil Sea Witch, Ursula, menacingly captured by young performer Sophie Bovey. According to Bovey, she enjoys playing evil characters because, “I can go over the top with big gestures and a threatening voice.” Tickets are $10 at Laughing Oyster Book Shop, Red Carpet Consignment Boutique and Mark R. Isfeld Secondary, the site of the Aug. 1 – 4 production. A special preview is 7 p.m. on July 31. — Rainbow Youth Theatre

Carver live at CVAG

VIOLINIST SERENA EADES (left) and Anna Lumiere on piano and accordion will perform this week on Denman Island and in Cumberland as Sostenuto.

Duo’s sounds sultry and rich Sostenuto, meaning sustained, is not only a way of playing music to this duo’s members (Anna Lumiere on piano/accordion and Serena Eades on violin), but it is a way of living within the world. While both musicians can be found touring and recording across the continent with such groups as Mimosa, Anagram and the Rakish Angles. This lovely duo called Sostenuto is hitting the road this summer by bicycle. The music is at times sultry and rich, but they are never far from injecting a good dose of silliness and lightness into a given show. From Argentinian tango to Brazilian choro, French musette to folk melodies and contemporary jazz, Sostenuto is a worthwhile treat for the senses. Lumiere is also a member of Anagram, a modern jazz quartet, as well as Mimosa, a band that she founded in 1998 and for which she composed, recorded and produced three albums of original material. She has received an IMA

The Comox Valley Art Gallery invites you to visit artist Darrell White while he works on a carving in the gallery. He and his sister April White exhibit a show titled Stone, Paper, Spirit: The Haida Hands of April White and Darrell White, consisting of paintings, carvings and prints until this Saturday. From July 30 through Aug. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., White will work on the yellow cedar door panels. There are two narrow panels, each about seven feet tall and one foot wide. These doors tell the story of The Raven and the Big Fisherman. Raven, most powerful creature of the myths, great transformer, mischievous and complex, manyvoiced and provocateur, encounters the home of the Big Fisherman. This giant man lives alone in a great big, magnificent house with his wife. Raven spies on them

DARRELL WHITE

through a crack in the boards and sees the Big Fisherman catch a great halibut out of a container of enchanted seawater in the floor. Raven is impressed by this magic, but more so, by the promise of never-ending halibut. Soon the Big Fisherman readies for a journey, giving Raven the idea to change into the image of the Big Fisherman and make use the magical seawater. But the real Big Fisherman returns and discovers this deceit. Raven/Big Fisherman is forcefully removed from the household and in a badly bruised shape, is taken out to sea and

put into its depths. He transforms into a spring salmon, and is immediately swallowed by Sghana, a killer whale. Darrell White Kats’ Stl’iinaa was born in Queen Charlotte City, Haida Gwaii. Although having moved away from the Islands at an early age, with infrequent returns until later in life, he has now experienced many traditional Haida ceremonies. He shares a strong family legacy from Haida artists of the Edenshaw line and has mentored with Christian White in argillite (a sedimentary rock) carving. He also studied old Haida works in museum collections and books before committing to the full-time carving of argillite and wood for the past decade, leaving a career as a professional welder/fabricator. His works are exhibited mainly in B.C. For more information, phone 250-3386211. — Comox Valley Art Gallery

Bee returning to Zocalo Every first Thursday of the month at the Zocalo Café, Bee Wolf Ray takes you on a journey through the world of songwriter music. She features her own well-crafted creations but includes selections by eclectic others; no show would be complete without at least one cover tune by Leonard Cohen. Bee lives part-time in Courtenay and parttime on Hornby Island, a balance that feeds her soul and fuels her

songwriting. Her music has a unique raw, sweet sound with a soft edge of pleasurable intimacy. Having grown up in northern B.C. without electricity and plenty of homegrown music, Bee’s roots are real and reliable. Her relationship with music has grown from a childhood bathed in music and song; the absence of electricity placed music front and centre in local culture, and a poetic sensibility that demands that difficult issues be resolved and

transformed through song. Enjoy an evening relaxing and enjoying Chef Peter’s delicious creations at the Zocalo Aug. 1 from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. The show is by donation; drop something in the hat to support local music. — Bee Wolf Ray

THE MILLARD-PIERCY WATERSHED Stewards have worked to improve the health of the Millard-Piercy watershed for many years.

Stewards strive to help salmon The sunny warm weather of the past few weeks has been greatly appreciated by most people, encouraging them to participate in outdoor activities such as gardening, hiking, playing sports and swimming. However, if you were a juvenile salmon living in a small stream, you might have a different opinion of the weather. Summer and early fall months are typically a time of great stress to stream-dwelling fish with life-threatening changes to the environment occurring. The warm weather reduces water levels, often creating a series of unconnected pools or, in some streams, causing them to dry up completely. As water levels decrease, temperatures rise and oxygen levels decline, sometimes to lethal levels. At the same time, the surviving fish congregate in the remaining pools where they are more susceptible to predation. Mortality associated with the stream conditions at this time of the year is one of the main factors limiting production of coho. Piercy Creek, which flows through Courtenay, has a long history of drying up in summer, resulting in juvenile coho becoming stranded in isolated pools. This year, the warm weather has once again caused water levels to drop rapidly, creating many unconnected pools where coho have little chance of surviv-

ing unless there is a sudden change to a prolonged rainy period, which seems unlikely. To improve the survival chances of some stranded coho, volunteers of the MillardPiercy Watershed Stewards with the support of DFO community adviser Dave Davies undertook a “rescue” operation during two days involving the capture and transfer of coho fry from several pools in Piercy Creek to a more favourable site in Millard Creek. Piercy Creek is the main tributary of Millard, which has a yearround water flow. The fry were captured with pole seines, put into a tank of welloxygenated water then driven to the release site, a beaver-pond on Millard Creek. An estimated 1,000 fry were transferred from a site near Cousins Road the first day while about 2,000 were moved on the second day from a section of the creek adjacent to Piercy Creek Estates. The fry will remain in the Millard-Piercy system until next spring when survivors will migrate to the estuary as smolts to begin the next phase of their life cycle. The Millard-Piercy Watershed Stewards have been working to improve the health of the Millard-Piercy watershed for many years.

The Comox Valley Wild Bantam lacrosse team earned a silver medal at the provincial championships July 20 and 21 in Delta to cap a successful 2013 campaign. During the regular season, the team finished first in its league with a record of 13-3, won a tournament in Nanaimo with a record of 5-0, finished second on the Island during playoffs with a record of 5-2, and went 4-1 in provincials. Overall, they went 27-6 this season. The Wild earned a provincial berth by beating Saanich and Oceanside in the playoffs but lost a three-game series to the Cowichan Thunder in the Island final. Both teams qualified for provincials. In provincial pool play, the Wild faced top-seeded Abbotsford, North Delta and Shuswap. In game one, the Wild beat Abbotsford 12-6. Brandon Playford, Marshall Pay, Luke Hutchings and Levi Hoffman scored a number of goals on a shell-shocked Abbotsford goaltender. In the second game against North Delta, the Wild put forth another strong effort led by goaltender Diego Such, who stood tall in the net and took away a number of scoring chances. Nathan Armstrong, Geoffrey Preiss and Owen Shears had strong games for the Wild. Carter Mulligan was strong in the face-off circle, winning a number of possessions. In the final game of pool play, the Wild defeated Shuswap 9-5 in a fairly lopsided game that allowed head coach Warren Dickie to rest many key players. “These tournaments are

Alfred Earl Cousins Passed away in his sleep in the early morning hours of July 20, 2013. Predeceased by his wife Eva, his granddaughter Alanna and numerous other family members. Earl is survived by daughter Linda Staneff (Gary), son Larry Cousins (Lisa) and grandson Taylor Cousins all of Santa Barbara, California. Earl was a founding member of The Model T Four, an award winning barbershop quartet. Earl loved music and was always either whistling or singing or jingling change in his pocket. He was always quick with a joke and a laugh and loved to make people smile. He will be missed. If friends so wish, donations in Earlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory made to the Comox United Church would be appreciated.

Special thanks to Dr Hudson in Victoria, Dr Green, Dr Bagdan, and thank-you to Dr Hartman for delivering her, and all the nurses on the maternity ward. Parents are Laura Anne Neale & Joseph Hryko. Grandparents Bill Hryko (Cumberland), Ruby & Jim Petrie (Powell River) & brother Dillon. Predeceased by her brother Christian David.

May 28, 1921 - July 21, 2013

Having recently celebrated his 92nd birthday, Verne is lovingly remembered by his wife Juanita, his sons, Erik (Gaylene), Peter (Karin), daughters, Verna (Graeme), Susan (Chris), 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Verne was predeceased by his wife, Marion. Verne was born and spent his early years in Wynyard, Saskatchewan. He was extremely proud of his Icelandic heritage. Verne graduated from the University of Alberta with a BSc and became a Meteorologist. He moved to the Comox Valley in the mid 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and became head of the Met section at CFB Comox. Verne served as a Comox alderman and founding member of the Filberg Society. In his retirement, Verne had a Christmas tree farm on Idiens Way and painted watercolours. He enjoyed trips to Hawaii and ball games in Seattle. His friendly and sociable manner endeared him to all he met. He loved to share his passion for science, the environment and weather. Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealth of knowledge made him a constant source of welcome advice to all his children and grandchildren. He will be dearly missed. We would like to thank Dr. Swanson and the 3rd Floor nursing staff for their care and kindness shown to Dad. No service by request.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, July 30, 2013

Why some might never enjoy a 3-D movie As World War Z, Man of Steel and other three-dimensional (3-D) summer blockbusters captivate audiences, about 10 per cent of moviegoers could be in for a disappointing surprise – and not just poor acting and a predictable storyline. “Approximately one in 10 Canadians isn’t able to perceive 3-D visual effects in films,” says local optometrist Dr. Alex Kennedy of Mosaic Vision Care in Courtenay. “The movie won’t necessarily appear fuzzy, but it will be like watching a regular movie with sunglasses on, and there won’t be any extradimensional effect.” Known as ‘stereo blindness,’ this type of vision problem occurs when there’s a lack of co-ordination between eyes, says Kennedy. “To view 3-D stereo images properly, your eyes need to work together as a team. So if one eye is really faror near-sighted compared to the other, or there’s any misalignment of the eyes, stereo vision can be affected.” While these issues could be inherent problems that have been present since childhood, an injury or even eye disease can also cause stereo blindness. That means it’s a good idea to see an optometrist if you’re not able to perceive a movie’s 3-D effects. He or she

will test your range of depth perception and eye co-ordination capabilities and then determine a course of corrective action. “Often people only become aware of it once they’ve been to a 3-D movie or had to take an eye exam for a job requiring stereovision, such as flying an aircraft,” explains Kennedy. “Unfortunately, we can’t fix every problem associated with stereo blindness. But depending on the cause, it could just be a matter of getting the proper corrective eyewear.” Though there are no known long-term effects of stereo blindness itself, many people with the condition will experience some discomfort – like headaches, eyestrain, blurred vision or fatigue – when watching 3-D media. “It’s not something that one should be

exams for children and seniors, and an exam every two years for those aged 19 to 64. To make an appointment with Dr. Kennedy or an associate at Mosaic Vision Care, call 250-334-4512 or visit www.mosaicvisioncare.com. The clinic is located at 519G Fifth St. in Courtenay.

Whose court is ball in? Courtenay appears to have some justification for its legal action against Maple Pool Campsite owners Dali and Jin Lin. Thanks to an increasing litigious society, the City seems to have a legitimate concern. The campground is built on a floodplain. The issue is whether the City, by not enforcing one of its many bylaws, would be legally liable should a flood injure or kill a Maple Pool resident or cause property damage. That seems to be a fair concern legally and in the interest of City Hall’s obligation to protect the interests of Courtenay citizens, especially its taxpayers. This situation is not unique to Courtenay. A few years ago in Vancouver, City staff tried to shut down a rooming house, which caught fire and killed three men before it was closed. Was the municipality responsible? If a lawsuit is filed, a judge has to decide these matters, and taxpayers have to pay whatever bill arises. Former Courtenay chief administrative officer Sandy Gray was not on great ground, though, when he repeatedly stated the issue of Maple Pool residents being one eviction away from homelessness just muddied what he saw as strictly a zoning issue. Many Comox Valley residents and even a Supreme Court judge in Nanaimo seem to believe the plight of 50 almost-homeless people is more than an inconvenient complication. Gray and the City suffered a PR black eye when he ordered the Lins to evict their tenants. He granted a six-month extension, but the two sides have not been able to agree on a solution. David Allen, Gray’s successor, has inherited this legal landmine that he is trying not to step on. A costly legal action would not be in the best interest of the City, its taxpayers, the Lins or their residents. Is there still time and enough good faith to step back from the courts? The Lins must step up to the plate and do what they can to address the City’s concerns. Perhaps Allen can find a non-legal option where Gray could not. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com Record Question of the Week This week: Fifty-three per cent of respondents so far say they are concerned

Rock the Block creative idea Dear editor, I am writing in response to negative letters printed recently about the upcoming event in Cumberland, Rock the Block. First off, I applaud The Waverley and Cumberland Village Works for all the hard work they have done over the years bringing world-class music and helping create a culture that has brought energy and entertainment to the village of Cumberland. Secondly, I’d like to address the myriad of concerns regarding the street closure and the issue of this being a “for-profit” event. If a business (or anyone, for that matter) would like to hold an event like Rock the Block, there are avenues one must go down to get the necessary permits to hold such an event. The Waverley has received the proper approval from Cum-

berland council, and the liquor board to hold such an event. Nobody seems to have an issue with closing the street for Empire Days or for the number of bike races that are held in Cumberland each year. These events have become an integral part of the character of Cumberland. They also bring in

scores of visitors, which in turn, bring in scores of tourist dollars, and in turn, profit for the organizers and business owners of Cumberland. Rock the Block is just another creative idea to bring people (and their entertainment dollars) to the village. If street closures for the aforementioned events have not created a problem for first responders and the residents of Camp Road before, then there’s no reason for it to be a problem now. It’s also a financial risk that the Waverley and CVW are taking putting on this event, but in our society, creating income is the sole purpose of a business to support itself, its employees, and the community at large. I say bring it on; it’s only for one day. Let the music play! Sean Sullivan, Royston

Views demands not realistic Dear editor, Re: Views council frustrated with St. Joseph’s hospital. My mother has been a resident of Eagleview since September and I am very happy with the care she is receiving. In my experience, the staff at the Views are almost invariably friendly and helpful — even when they are extremely busy. I am grateful for their kindness and I appreciate their sincere efforts to give Mom the best personal care possible. In my opinion, many of the demands of the Views Family Council (VFC) are unrealistic. Staffing levels are not going to rise in an era of government restraint. Nurses and care aides responsible for multiple patients cannot possibly respond immediately to everyone who calls for help. Incontinence products

are provided precisely to protect patients when staff are busy. There is nothing “abusive” about peeing in a diaper. That’s what they’re for! If the primary goal of the members of the VFC is to improve patient care, they could volunteer their time at the Views and help take some of the pressure off overworked staff. If they are not happy with the incontinence products supplied,

they could purchase their own or make targeted, tax-deductible donations to the hospital. If they don’t know who their relatives’ primary caregivers are, they could ask at one of the reception desks or check the staff lists on the white boards. Wasting precious staff time with this constant complaining is of no benefit to anyone. Bill McLeod, Comox

Sending up a red flag Dear editor, The attendance-of-councillors issue raised by Jon Ambler and passed by six of the seven of the council, is just another in a series of irresponsible decisions by our City council. The arrogance of Jon Ambler on three occasions in an account of a council meeting is consistent with other cost-related decisions made by the council. Take for example the pay increase for the councillors as a first order of business after the election. The first arrogant comment by Ambler was, “There are people in this community that know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” No one would dispute the value of some of the functions, however, a responsible council would find a sensible way to disseminate the information and reduce costs. Instead, they become the first City council to the mayor’s knowledge, to offer seminars to the whole council. This alone should send up a red

flag. Ambler continues his arrogance with the following quotes, “People will complain.” “Let’s just accept that.” This shows no concern for the opinions of the taxpayers and suggests he know what’s best for all. Maybe he should not vote for giving money, or should I say more money than they asked for, and things we really don’t need. Then he could say “people will complain, “Let’s just accept that.” That brings me to the third bit of arrogance. He make a motion that all councillors may attend “at the municipality’s expense.” I would not have brought this up had it not been for where he splits hairs by saying, “Independent councillors cannot spend a dime.” In fact, when the council approves a motion or budget, whether he vote in favour or not, he is entitled to be reimbursed as per vote.

Postpone bike lanes

Dear editor, I guess if you are going to do your bit to combat climate change, you might want to try to make it safer to ride bicycles around town. As in, bike lanes. For example, there is a thought that there should be bike lanes on Fitzgerald. The idea being that cyclists would be protected from vehicle traffic. One shortcoming here, though, is that on Fitzgerald, there are neither cyclists to be protected nor vehicle traffic to protect them from. To speak of. Now I am just as mindful of climate change as the next guy. Which is — subliminally. But, in the scheme of things, it doesn’t strike me as pointful to invest in bike lanes on Fitzgerald as a climate change-combatting measure. (Closing down coalfired generating plants — now, that’s another story.) However, hardcore climate-change combatants genuinely believe you can win the battle one bike lane at a time. They expend a lot of energy to that end, engaging in vigorous debate in every municipality. And, they get their bike lanes. More power to them. Erik Eriksson, Courtenay

Dear editor, Re: No wooden bridges for Detroit. It is unfortunate that the next conference of municipalities (at which apparently all Courtenay councillors will be present) will not be attended by members from Detroit, Mich., which recently became the latest North American city to declare bank-

ruptcy. Apparently, Detroit city councillors knew the value of everything and the price of nothing. Perhaps if Courtenay is forced to declare bankruptcy in future the province of British Columbia will step in and bail them out. Oh, wait, according to a recent article by Macleans magazine,

the Province of B.C. has a 53.6-per-cent chance of defaulting on its debts within 30 years. Why don’t we go whole hog and build a wooden bridge to Maui? We can always default on our debts and/or let the next generation pay the bills. Dave Mcleod, Comox

Love, peace in our eyes Dear editor, I have witnessed a growing discontent amongst Canadians over corrupt politicians who do not serve the people; but I have also had the privilege of witnessing a nation of Canadians who have created one of the most peaceful and gentle countries in the world. Nelson Mandela, a great leader and advocate of peace and for-

giveness stated in his inaugural speech: “We are powerful beyond measure. Your playing small does not serve the world. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our

presence automatically liberates others.” This great leader is now dying and the words of Simon and Garfunkel echo again: “Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.” But just look into the eyes of another Canadian and you will be brightened by love Gary Fort, and peace. Courtenay

Experienced businessman joins airport board

The Comox Valley Airport Commission (CVAC) confirmed last week the appointment of Keith Tatton to its board of directors. Keith brings more than 47 years of business acumen with him to the Comox Valley Airport’s board of directors. As the independent operator of Cumberland Ready Mix and then later Cumberland Sand and Gravel, he has been a prominent member of the Comox Valley business community for many years. “Keith has an extensive history of community service and has served on the boards of a number of community, business and trade associations,” said Comox Valley Airport Commission chair Linda Oprica. “His valuable managerial and financial skills, combined with his enthusiasm and community spirit, make him a wonderful addition to the board.” Keith has served on the boards of several business and industry organizations including: the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce, the North Vancouver Island Construction Association, the Vancouver Island Construction Association and the British Columbia Construction Association. “The Comox Valley Airport is an essential economic driver for northern Vancouver Island and it is my absolute pleasure to serve the Comox Valley Airport Commission and the community in this manner,” said Tatton. Volunteerism is also a big part of Keith’s life. His business raises thousands for worthwhile community groups annually and he sits on the boards of the Rotary Club of Cumberland Centennial and the Comox

Valley Community Foundation. Tatton fills the Chamber of Commerce nominee vacancy on the CVAC board, a position formerly held by Brad Minton. Tat-

ton’s appointment was endorsed earlier this month and he attended his first board meeting on July 16. “The airport is extremely important to the Comox Valley

business community of which Keith is an active member,” said Tracey McGinnis, chair of the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce. “I have worked with Keith closely on the Cham-

ber board and I have no doubt that he will serve the airport and the community well.” The commission is the governing authority for the operation of the airport. The nine-

member commission is broadly representative of the community. Members are nominated by the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, the Village of Cumberland, the

Regional District, the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Comox Valley Economic Development Society. — Comox Valley Airport Commission TELUS STORE OR AUThORizED DEALER

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, July 30, 2013

Top MS fundraiser saluted The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada – North Vancouver Island Chapter recognizes the fundraising achievement of Andrea Martin, who has raised upwards of $100,000 since 2004. The primary focus of Martin’s efforts is the Comox Valley Scotiabank MS Walk. This year, she raised $15,000, again making her the top individual fundraiser of the event — as has been the case since 2006. “It is no understatement that the Comox Valley MS Walk would be a very different event and the financial outcome would be very much impacted without Andrea’s involvement,” said Cherie Kamenz, chapter fundraising co-ordinator. “She consistently raises anywhere from 25 to 35 per cent of the total funds brought in by the MS Walk. We are very grateful for her support and believe she deserves to be recognized in the wider community for her work with the MS Society of Canada.” Martin’s network of support includes her

DEDICATED AND PROLIFIC fundraiser Andrea Martin has raised more than $100,000 for MS research since 2004. husband, Ryan Williams, her parents and her mother–in–law, Susan O’Boyle, all of whom make generous annual donations to the society by way of personal donations, sponsorship of Ski for MS, and third party fundraising events. Her husband, a realtor, contributes every year with contributions based on a specific amount per transaction from the past year. In April, he donated $3,300 to his wife, which brings his overall MS Walk donations to just over $17,000 since 2004. He

has also been a bronze level sponsor of Ski for MS since 2008. O’Boyle hosts an annual fundraising auction and dinner under the banner of Andrea’s Atlantic Allies. Since 2004, she has raised more than $59,000 at this event. She was instrumental in ensuring that Andrea surpass the $100,000 milestone this year. Martin also receives donations from friends, family and members of the community. In 2005, she created her fundraising team, Andrea’s Allies,

to encourage others to get involved in the fight against MS. A teacher at École Robb Road, Martin educates students about MS and inspires them to join fundraise with her. Over the years, Andrea’s Allies have included students and former students who, with the support of parents, have raised $3,116.95 at the MS Walk and Ski for MS. In addition to those who become Andrea’s Allies team members and fundraise, many more of her student’s families make donations directly to Andrea and then come out to the MS Walk to support her. With all of this support, it has not been unusual over years to have upwards of 40 people in Andrea’s Allies team photos. As well as being an avid MS Walk fundraiser and team captain, Andrea has also volunteered for our annual Carnation Campaign and assisted with initial planning Ski for MS. She is always happy to help, eager to be involved and brings out the best in everyone around her.
