Campfires banned due to weather
Town of Festivals will be hopping on BC Day long weekend
Erin Haluschak Record Staff
Beginning Thursday, the Coastal Fire Centre is implementing a campfire ban just in time for the BC Day long weekend, thanks to a combination of July’s hot, dry weather and potential severe storms. Marg Drysdale, fire information officer for the Coastal Fire Centre, said the ban covers the entire Coastal Fire Centre jurisdiction, with the exception of the Queen Charlotte Islands. “The fire danger is currently high, with large areas of extreme,” she explained. “There is the likelihood for thundershowers for the next few days and potential for dry lightning. We don’t need fire starts from humancaused fires if we need to allocate resources from those fires.” There are 37 wildfires burning on Vancouver Island, and the fire danger rating in the Comox Valley is high, Drysdale added. Unlike cities to the south such as Victoria and Vancouver, the lack of precipitation and dry conditions is not quite enough to topple any long-standing Comox Valley weather records. “There have been a couple days of rainfall (in

‘Political will’ not there to preserve Laing house? Report to Town cites high cost of repairs Erin Haluschak Record Staff
While a historic Comox home garnered a short reprieve from demolition from council in June, two Valley organizations are researching the condition of the home, and how much it would cost to preserve. The Comox Valley Naturalists Society and Project Watershed asked Comox council for a delay on the demolition of Mack Laing’s ‘Baybrook’ house, which is situated on a 2.6-hectare piece of waterfront property. Council asked for an assessment to determine if the structures (including the main house), which were in poor condition, were
THE COMOX VALLEY Naturalists Society and Project Watershed are trying to preserve Mack Laing’s ‘Baybrook’ house. worth saving. The report determined the cost of renovating and saving the building would exceed the cost of reconstruction, and the plan was to remove the structure and return the property to a natural, park-like state. Dick Stubbs, whose
Quote of the Day
parents purchased the properly from Laing in 1949, explained there are four legal lots that comprise the great Baybrook property. “The main house, was built approximately in 1922 or 1923,” he explained. “There
were three cottages that dad build in the early 1950s, and there were other structures including a garage and barn on the property.” He noted his family owned the property until 2006, when they sold it to Greg Bay.
“We tried repeatedly over an 18-month period to bring the Town to the table — it seemed like a logical addition to Mack Laing Park,” he noted. “But the political will wasn’t there.” The Town did end up purchasing ‘Baybrook House,’ but not directly from the family, Stubbs added. The two groups, along with some Comox citizens, voiced their concerns about losing the house, as it was the location where naturalist Laing did many of his original work and led the Comox Valley in conservation. The groups suggested the possibility of creating an interpretive heritage centre
with the home. A committee has been working on a feasibility study and is examining the costs to
preserve the house. A decision about the fate of the home has been delayed until Sept. 30.

Volunteers needed for local kidney fundraiser Renee Andor Record Staff
Kidney disease is one of British Columbia’s fastestgrowing illnesses, according to the Provincial Health Services Authority. In the past 10 years, kidney disease has increased by 60 per cent in B.C. and it affects one in 10 Canadians, according to the Kidney Foundation. Known as a ‘silent’ disease, many symptoms of kidney disease remain ‘silent’ until 50 per cent of the kidney function is lost. “And it’s incurable,” adds the Comox Valley’s Kidney Walk co-ordinator Mary Ruth Harris. “If the kidneys fail to the point where they need to be on dialysis, they need to be on dialysis for the rest of their life, unless a transplant becomes available.” Aug. 18 will mark the Comox Valley’s third annual Kidney Walk, which raises funds for the Kidney
THE COMOX VALLEY Kidney Walk happens each year, but not without dedicated volunteers. Foundation. Held in Simms Millennium Park, the walk will be 2.5 kilometres and go around Simms and Lewis parks. Registration will start at 10 a.m. and the
walk will start at 11 a.m. Money raised will help increase awareness about kidney disease, help with ongoing research to help improve the lives of kidney patients and provide finan-
cial assistance to help cover treatment costs. For example, the foundation has four suites in the Lower Mainland for kidney transplant patients to stay in for up to two months because they
need to stay in the area for six to eight weeks after they receive a transplant. This year’s Comox Valley walk will feature a silent auction from 10 a.m. to noon, and Harris is looking for donations from local businesses to make the auction a success. She also needs volunteers to help collect those donations, and man a booth at this Saturday’s farmers’ market at the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds, where they will hand out pamphlets and talk to people about the walk. Finally, she needs some volunteers on the day of the walk. Anyone interested in volunteering or making a donation for the silent auction can contact Mary Ruth Harris at 250-650-7575. Harris decided to take on the role of co-ordinator because her cousin underwent a kidney transplant during her late 30s, which she received from her sister. Harris says she “felt
called to help spread the word about the devastating effects of kidney disease and the need for organ donation,” pointing out some people with kidney disease die before they receive a transplant. “The most staggering statistic for me is that while 85 per cent of British Columbians say they support organ donation, only 19 per cent have actually signed up on the registry,” she continues. “I think some people are under the impression if they have the sticker on their (driver’s) licence, that is enough. “Well, the sticker on your licence is no longer valid. You have to mail in a registration card you can get from your doctor or you can go online to transplant. bc.ca to register.” For more information, check out Comox Valley Kidney Walk on Facebook, or visit www.comoxvalleykidneywalk.ca.

Cash-strapped Cumberland now has money to spend Renee Andor Record Staff
A skatepark and new firehall were high on Cumberland councillors’ to-do lists as they discussed how to spend new amenity funds. Council met for committee of the whole Monday to talk about how they should spend funds from the host community agreement (between Cumberland and the Comox Valley Regional District). Cumberland will receive $300,000 per year for the duration of the 20-year agreement; the funds are designed to compensate Cumberland for having a landfill in its boundaries. As well, the Village already has about $548,500
in unrestricted amenity funds from Coal Valley Estates, so total amenity funds for 2013 sit at $848,500, according to a staff report. Coun. Conner Copeman suggested building a skatepark in Cumberland Village Park should be a priority. “It just seemed like it was a medium priority in our long-term master plan and was something that we foreseeably could do as this council — which would be nice,” he said, adding the project could cost about $390,000. Couns. Gwyn Sproule and Kate Greening immediately said they favoured moving forward with a skatepark as well. After lengthy discussion, the committee voted to set
❝

❞ Conner Copeman
aside $150,000 of the amenity funds for a skatepark as a way to give the project a kickstart. The Cumberland Community Schools Society Skatepark Committee has already been working to promote a skatepark in Cumberland, and Village CAO Sundance Topham added the first step would be to meet with the skatepark committee and work out a memorandum of understanding, plus get a cost estimate for the project.
Mayor Leslie Baird said she would like some of the money for a skatepark to come from community fundraising and grants could also be available for the project. Greening opposed the motion because she said $300,000 should be set aside for the project rather than $150,000. The motion also asked that nearly $20,000 sitting in a deferred account for the purpose of a skatepark be combined with the
$150,000, making the total $170,000. Plus, Village staff are expected to provide a project update to council in the fall. The committee also voted to set aside $250,000 for a new firehall for Cumberland. The need for a new firehall didn’t have much debate; the entire committee seemed agreed upon the need. Village staff have begun searching for a site. The committee also voted to allocate $10,000 to revamp the municipality’s street signs, which Baird noted are in need of some additions and replacements. These funds would come out of a separate amenity fund from Slegg Lumber created some years ago. These motions have yet
to be ratified as they were made in committee of the whole, and will come before council at its next regular meeting Aug. 12. Other ideas included painting the Cumberland Cultural Centre, revamping Lake Park, updating the council chambers and installing a speaker system, fixing up some roads — including repairing the damaged section of Comox Lake Road (now being used as a one-way due to slope failure) — and saving money for future needs. Topham noted having money in the bank would come in handy if the Village decides to look for matching grants for any of the suggested projects in the future.

TERRY CHESTER
Air show has room for vets Record Staff In a special gesture, there will be a pavilion from where military veterans will be able to watch the Comox Air Show on Aug. 17 at CFB Comox. Retired colonel Terry Chester initiated the pavilion by contacting Veterans Affairs, which provided money to purchase supplies. Veterans will be served lunch and catered to by cadets. “Get the old and the young together,” said Chester, director of the previous air show in 2005. Veterans’ tickets are just $5, which includes admission to the pavilion. Advance purchase is recommended. Tickets are available online at store. comoxairshow.ca or Thrifty Foods. At the conclusion of the show, patrons are encouraged to drop by the pavilion to meet the veterans and perhaps thank them for their service. Before going to the air show, veterans are invited to meet at the Courtenay Legion for breakfast at 9 a.m., after which they will be shuttled or car pooled to the show. Those wanting to attend the breakfast can call the Legion at 250-334-4322.
This Friday will mark the 20th anniversary of Lindsey Nicholls disappearing. Twenty years ago, on the BC Day long weekend, Lindsey was last seen as she left her temporary foster home on Royston Road in 1993. Her intended destination was the Nautical Days festivities in Comox. Lindsey was last seen wearing blue jeans, a khaki top and white canvas shoes. The police investigation involving Lindsey’s disappearance remains an active file for the General Investigation Section at the Comox Valley RCMP detachment. In the 20 years she has been missing, police have pursued nearly 350 tips in an effort to determine what happened to Lindsey after she left her temporary foster home on Royston Road. The RCMP, as well as the Missing Children Society of Canada, continue to collect information from the

Think Lonely Planet meets the Town of Comox — but take away the thick guidebook and replace it with a colour brochure and a twist of downtown. Holly Grant, co-ordinator of Comox by the Sea, said she came up with the idea of walking tours earlier this year showcasing all the town has to offer. She pitched it to members of Comox Business in Action. “It’s not really a new idea — other communities have done it, but I thought it would work really well in Comox,� she explained, and added she drew inspiration from travelling and self-guided tours from France and New York City. “It works so well in Comox; there are so many trails and amenities,� she noted, and added the tours are designed to start and end in downtown Comox. Grant said she wanted to make the tours appealing to people who would be able to experience a variety of activities in the town from exploring Goose Spit to the art around town, with stops at local businesses, res-

The Showdown in the Valley 2013 – Island Cowboy Action Championships take place on the main street of Boomtown. It happens Aug. 3 and 4 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Courtenay and District Fish and Game Protective Association headquarters at Comox Lake. Cocky cowboys and comely, yet deadeye, cowgirls will shoot through town with their six-guns, rifles and shotguns. There is no admission charge and hearing protection will be provided. It is not recommended to bring your pooches as the shooting noise will scare them; plus they have no ear protection and we also would not want them dehydrating in vehicles during this hot summer. The competition is held at several shooting “stages” spread along the main street
The Comox Lake Reservoir reached the full level of 135.33 metres on June 30. It is currently at 134.6 and is about normal for this time of year. The level has been dropping at about three centimetres per day. Inflow into the reservoir is currently only about 10 cubic metres per second (m3/s). BC Hydro’s water supply forecast is showing water inflows into Comox Lake Reservoir between now and the end of September may only be about 74 per cent of normal. BC Hydro is running the Puntledge River Generating Station at about 10 megawatts, or about 40 per cent of capacity, to conserve water. Power reduction from full capacity took place on July 4 when the reservoir had begun to recede from being full and the onset of the dry weather. BC Hydro forecasts maintaining the release from the dam and the output from the generating station at this level through the summer. If the weather changes from

Fundraiser Tuesday helping land trust Hosts Judy and Bruce Wing will play first with Blaine Dunaway Enjoy an evening of “heart beatin’ rhythm and blues” Aug. 6 with Luke Blu Guthrie, featured act at this month’s 1st Tuesday Fundraiser at the Mex Pub. The evening’s entertainment starts at 7:30 p.m. with a short opening set by fundraiser hosts Judy and Bruce Wing accompanied by violinist Blaine Dunaway, with featured guests to follow. There are two great door prizes to be drawn for as well. Admission is by cash donation and this month’s proceeds will help to further the work of the Comox Valley Land Trust (CVLT). You can also bring food donations for the Comox Valley Food Bank. The CVLT has several local land protection initiatives in the Comox Valley which include the Cum-
berland Community Forest, Hurford Hill Nature Park, Master’s Greenway, and Sandwick Forest. By creating public park covenants with landowners, the organization works to protect ecosystems, encourage voluntary conservation, and create a network of protected land areas. With the support of conservation-minded landowners and CVLT members who pledge monthly donations, the organization has helped to conserve over 400 acres. The Luke Blu Guthrie Band is a two-time VIMA-nominated, rhythm and blues duo consisting of Luke and Elizabeth Penney. The evening’s concert format is the perfect venue to enjoy their engaging performance, masterful finger-picking, strong vocals, and upbeat bass lines. Hearing a talented duo perform such powerful original music is sure to generate some local pride too, as you consider Guthrie’s accomplishments so far. With over 650

Named one of CBC’s independent artists to watch in 2011, and nominated for Male
Songwriter of the year at the VIMAs in 2012, and Roots Album of the Year in 2013, Luke Blu Guthrie is a growing presence on Canadian radio with three independently released “live off the floor “albums. The most recent album, Oil and Water, saw the band’s fan
base explode in 2012, with tours through several Canadian provinces and standout performances at a number of B.C festivals. The monthly fundraising concerts, which have been pairing local musicians with their favourite charities for over four years, are sponsored by the Mex Pub and organized by event hosts Judy and Bruce Wing. “Music creates a very comfortable occasion for sharing ideas and information,” says co-organizer Judy Wing. “It’s a very relaxed atmosphere and given the amazing talent in the area, the events always have a different flavour, even though the format is the same.” For more information about the Comox Valley Land Trust, visit www.cvlandtrust. ca.

LAND OF PLENTY
A History of the Comox District
The Royal Canadian Legion The Royal Canadian Legion grew out of the Great War Veteran's Association which was formed shortly after World War One. The basic purpose behind the Legion was to help veterans in any way necessary and to help the families of veterans. Today, this purpose is still paramount, but the influence of the organization is felt strongly in many facets of community endeavours. Grants for scholarships to young people, donations for equipment to aid the handicapped and assistance to athletic groups or individuals are examples of Legion involvement with people apart from veterans. There are four branches of the Royal Canadian Legion in Comox District.
COURTENAY BRANCH NO. 17
The first meeting to form a branch of the Legion in Courtenay was held on February 25, 1926. This occasion saw the Great War Veteran's Association (First President, G. Bates) become the Royal Canadian Legion in Courtenay. Another group that became part of the Legion was the Soldiers' Settlement Association. A new group of officers was not elected at this time so W.P. Beavan carried on as President In February of 1926, the second meeting to organize Branch No. 17 was held. Over one hundred ex-servicemen were in attendance.

COMOX BRANCH NO. 160 Legionaires (circa 1948) Legion photo
The first Legion building, owned by the Great War Veterans' Association, was located on the comer of Fifth Street and England Avenue where the Bank of Nova Scotia now stands. The original building had been occupied by the Courtenay Builders Supply, owned by G.B. (Geoff) Capes. From here, they moved to more suitable quarters in a building now part of Hartman's Auto Supply. In 1947 the present site (McPherson House) was purchased. Three phases of Construction, 1957, 1960's and 1984, were required to attain the present building.
Branch No. 160 of the Royal Canadian Legion was sponsored and encouraged by Branch No. 17 of Courtenay. Today it is a very successful and active organization. Branch No. 160 received its Charter on August 10, 1939, Its first President was Mr. W J. Pollock. The Ladies' Auxiliary was formed in 1939. Mrs. Jean Piket, the first President, remained in office until 1945. Comox Legion, being located close to the "spit," was a very busy place during World War II. It became famous for its hospitality to people in "Allied Uniforms." The present building is a spacious, well planned one. It was built after the original quarters were badly damaged by a fire on August 3, 1972.
CUMBERLAND BRANCH NO. 28 When Branch No. 28 was fonned in 1926, Lieutenant Colonel, C.W. Vil-
liers, C.B.E., D.S.O. became Honorary President. A plaque to his memory graces the pillars at the entrance to The Cumberland Legion. MR. A. H. (Ralph) Gibson is well know throughout Canada for his many years on the Dominion Executive where he was an indefatigable fighter for Veterans' causes. The present building was constructed in 1962-63 after a fire destroyed the first one.

Vanier track being resurfaced Scott Stanfield Record Staff
The Vanier Secondary School running track is being resurfaced over the course of the summer with an anticipated completion date of Sept. 6. The project is a 50/50 split between the regional district and School District 71, budgeted at $992,000. Construction estimates came in at $975,000, which includes storm drainage around the inside of the
track, curbing, and asphalt that will adhere to the matting. “It’s a big project and it’s very time-sensitive,” said Darcy Walters, senior manager of recreational facilities. “There’s a small window of opportunity to get this track laid down because it doesn’t like getting moisture in the air. So it has to be a very dry period in order to get this laid down properly.” The track was last resurfaced in 2000.

Trapped in job and imprisoned by depression I hate my job. It’s not my dream job to start with, and now I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. It pays well. I have a family now — kids need this and that. We have a certain lifestyle, that’s possible because I earn good money. But I feel like I’m backed into a corner. I just hate going to work each day, but don’t want to quit because it pays so well. I’m getting depressed. What should I do? One of the things about the road towards depression is that it tries to get us to feel like there are no options — that “backed into the corner” feeling that you have about your job. Another thing that it likes, is keep a person’s thoughts focused on the negativity of a situation. That way it is much more difficult to consider how to do things in a way that might feel better. With that in mind, it sounds like the question you are asking is, “How do I keep doing something I don’t enjoy without getting depressed?” Depression would like you to focus on all of the things about the job that you don’t enjoy. At the same time, the more that you focus on those things, the more that you will feel bad. Guaranteed. To keep doing what you are doing and not buy into depression takes some effort and takes some time. It also takes paying attention to what you are thinking. It might be interesting to experiment for a few months with considering things differently: to standing up to those “ain’t it awful” thoughts. You have nothing to lose. You will be at your job anyways. So, here are some strategies to experiment with: 1. Keep your eye on the ball. Really appreciate WHY you are doing the job – lifestyle, wanting to be able to provide in a certain way for your family. Depression would like you to think of those things

job and ask yourself what parts do you actually like. These are the moments that you want to focus on, particularly when you are in them. Enjoy them fully. Remind yourself that you get to do them, too. When your mind wants to tell you that you hate your job, remind yourself that you hate only 90 per cent ( or whatever it is) of your job, because 10 per cent you actually like. Does this make it all better? Of course not. What it does do however, is soften the nega-
tive feelings that you have about the job. If you are looking to feel better in this job, it will be helpful to have all of the better feelings about it that you can. 3. Focus on what you are doing. Ever noticed being really busy and the day going by fast because of that? Keeping really focused on the work means there is less room for thinking about not liking the work, or being bored. Do this more. When you go to “the awfulness” or feeling bored, focus back on what you are doing.
If you can’t think of anything else to think about, ask yourself what you are seeing, hearing smelling, feeling and tasting, at that particular moment. If you don’t fill the space in your mind somehow, negative thoughts certainly will do it for you. There are many things to do to feel better. Try these out for a couple of months and notice the ways you feel better. You may never love your job, but doing those things will help you to feel better as long as you are
doing it. If you notice that depression persists, however, it may be helpful to consult a registered clinical counsellor. If you wish to ask a question of the counsellors, for a response in future columns, e-mail them at info@pacifictherapy.ca.

Protect Pets Through the Dog Days of Summer
When the warm weather arrives, conscientious pet owners typically reevaluate how to care for their pets. As the seasons change, so may a pet’s needs, and different safety precautions might be necessary. Warm weather seasons are many people’s favourite time of year. Pets, too, enjoy the benefits of the warm weather, including more opportunities to frolic outside. But the sunshine and hot weather that is synonymous with the summer season can prove treacherous to some pets. Although the hot-weather months are sometimes called “the dog days of summer,” that doesn’t mean that your dog enjoys them. According to “Dogs in Antiquity: Anubis to Cerebrus: The Origins of the Domestic Dog,” by Douglas Brewer, Sir Terence Clark, and Adrian Phillips, the term “dog days of summer” was coined by the ancient Greeks and Romans actually to describe the hottest days of summer that coincided with the rising of the Dog Star, Sirius. It has nothing to do with dogs loving the summer. So keep in mind your pooch and other pets may not be acclimated
to hot weather and may suffer for it. Dogs, cats and small animals who are left inside a hot car, even if just for a few minutes, can be susceptible to heat-related illness and even death. Dogs are particularly vulnerable to the heat because they can only cool off by panting and through the sweat glands in the pads of their feet. Animal cruelty laws apply to just about anyone who endangers their animal’s life through negligence. Failure to take weather conditions into consideration may be a criminal act, depending on where a pet owner lives. To avoid heat-related injury to a companion animal, keep these tips in mind. • Even on a day that seems mild, an enclosed car can reach deadly temperatures. A Stanford University study found that even when it was a mere 72 F outdoors, the interior temperature of a car reached 116 F within one hour. Research further indicated that cracking the windows of the car had little effect on lowering the internal temperature of the vehicle. • Pets generally have a
Goldie
higher body temperature than people. A dog’s normal body temperature, for example, is between 101 to 102.5 F. Being outside in the heat or locked inside a hot room can quickly bring that body temperature up. Nerve damage, liver damage, heart problems, and even death can occur if a dog’s body temperature rises just a little bit. • It is important to provide pets with extra water, as they may be more thirsty when it is hot outdoors. If you will be spending a day away from home, leave one or two bowls of water available and put in a few ice cubes, which will help keep the water cooler. • If your pet is outdoors, make sure he has plenty of access to shady areas in which to rest. A child’s wading pool can provide a respite from the heat as well. • Avoid walks and daily exercise during the hottest parts of the day. Try to reschedule these for early morning or early evening when things generally cool down. Remember, pavement and sidewalks can be very hot and burn the delicate pads of the feet.

Simple Ways to Keep Your Pet Healthy Controlling Aquarium Algae
Budding aquarium enthusiasts crop up every day. They’re anxious to head to the pet store and pick out a tank, accessories and the fish they hope will thrive in a new environment. While it’s important to know which fish can cohabitate and the proper pH and temperature to keep the tank, one important lesson all people who have an aquarium should know is how to keep algae in check. Algae is a naturally occurring plant life that creates a green film on the inside of tank walls and on plants and decorations inside the aquarium. Just like any other plant, algae requires a few things to thrive, including light, water and food. Although a certain amount of algae in the water can be a beneficial food source for some species of fish, an overabundance can be unsightly and take over the aquarium. There are a few reasons why algae can grow unchecked.
H
• Algae needs light to survive. Leaving a fluorescent aquarium light on too long or placing the tank in the path of direct sunlight can cause algae to bloom. • Introducing new live plants to a tank, which already may have algae spores hitching a ride on them, can introduce more algae to the tank. • Overfeeding fish can provide extra food sources for algae, as can failing to frequently clean the filter. • Water with a high level of nutrients will provide a lot of food for algae. Understanding why algae forms will help you control it effectively. To start, get in the habit of cleaning the tank frequently. Once a week may be acceptable, depending on size. Scrape the walls of the aquarium down and remove the artificial plants and other accessories and routinely wash in clean water. Change the filter cartridge when it has become overly soiled.
A healthy pet is a happy pet, and responsible pet owners know that their beloved pets’ health rests largely on the owners’ shoulders. Ensuring a pet is healthy over the long haul can be quite simple. While some pets may develop medical conditions that require more attention, the following are a few simply ways pet owners can keep their pets healthy. • Don’t skip visits to the veterinarian. Unlike humans, pets can’t speak for themselves, so it’s quite possible that a pet could be hurting or dealing with a medical condition while its owner has no idea. Annual veterinary checkups can help avoid such situations, and the vet might notice a developing condition before it becomes anything serious. If a pet’s behaviour suddenly changes, then schedule a veterinarian visit as soon as possible, as this behaviourial change could be indicative of a
medical issue. • Prioritize vaccinations. Vaccinations can protect a pet from a host of ailments, including rabies, distemper and Lyme disease. New pet owners who adopted a pet from a rescue organization should get documentation about the animal’s past vaccinations (certified kennels typically provide such documentation at the time of adoption). If there is no such documentation or if there are documents showing the pet received certain vaccinations but not necessarily all of its vaccinations, take the pet to the veterinarian and have the animal receive those vaccinations that aren’t documented. • Spay or neuter the pet. Spaying, or removing the ovaries and uterus of a female dog or cat, can prevent diseases, such as breast cancer and pyometra, as well as infection and keep the animal from going into heat. Neutering a male a dog or cat before it reach-

THIS PAST TUESDAY I was in a
store in downtown Courtenay, with my two grandsons, when my grandson accidentally backed into a display and a small glass shelf was broken. Much to my chagrin, a grown salesman behind the counter (I hope he was not the owner) bellowed out “SOB.� I couldn’t believe what I heard. I apologized for the broken shelf but due to his unruly conduct and profanity I did not suggest paying for the said broken piece of glass. My grandsons were both shocked at this outburst and to this day still talk about it. We immediately left the store never to return again! This man’s conduct was totally unacceptable.

THEY SAY GOOD ideas are hard
to find, well how about these. Apply a minimum of $1 deposit on all returnable glass, aluminum and plastic cans and bottles. This will ensure anyone who isn’t rich or environmentally conscious will think twice before discarding their empties in the garbage, streets, parks or your hedges. It will also give our less-fortunate some extra spending money as well. Win, win, right! Secondly, anybody who doesn’t think rail travel is a great alternative to automobile travel, please stop reading my letter now. The answer is toll gates on the Inland Island Highway. This will slow down travel on our roads and put some money towards the revival of our rail system. Hey, I can remember coal-fired steam engines; think of the possibilities. User pay is the future — get used to it. And finally the bad idea. This is to those twisted folks who, while walking their pets, believe it’s a better idea to pick up after their pets and then throw or drop their bag in the bush or beside the trail. Really?
WE JUST VISITED the new store in Courtenay and no big surprises were anticipated. The only surprise we ran into was the fact that when our grandson bought a sale item for $1 he was charged $1.37 plus tax. When my sweetheart mentioned that the item was listed for $1 the cashier said that she could not make the changes and instead referred them to the return counter to make the needed adjustments. In the meantime I just
returned from the men’s bathroom where I almost fell because the floor was probably just cleaned and therefore quite slippery. I quickly informed an employee and was addressed in a thankful manner for mentioning it. When meeting my sweetheart she told me the reason why they were still standing in line. This was overheard by another customer who apparently was not a happy patron. She mumbled something like, “This was the first time and also the last time that I am shopping here.� My point of view was a little different. Yes, it was annoying but if taken into account that the store had just hired 150 new employees, therefore I think we might show some courtesy on our side of the counter. I know the customer is always right but showing some understanding and patience toward a new business and a new member of the staff I think has merit, too. Building a pleasant society is the right “target,� not just for the company but for all of us.
IT’S TOO BAD Jon Ambler has to
defend himself against the perception of being “a wasteful spender of taxpayers’ dollars.� Perhaps if you had not proclaimed at a council meeting once: “I love to spend other peoples’ money� you would not find yourself the lightning rod for a lot of taxpayers’ frustrations concerning public spending in this town. Just like Fuzzy Zoeller’s chicken dinner comment about Tiger Woods at the Masters or BP CEO Tony Haywards’ “I want my life back� after the Gulf oil spill, I’m afraid you’re stuck with yours. Perhaps you could create a new budget line item to hire a PR firm to rebrand and put a new, fresh face on our local council. This might be a good idea because at the moment the brand (Courtenay or CVRD, same thing) seems to be: Borrow for the frills (gyms, artificial grass, running

empty buses, toy trains, curling rinks, etc.) then raise taxes and fees for the important stuff when it wears out or breaks down (water/ sewer). I suggest that this approach is completely backwards, John! We should be borrowing to upgrade our water and sewer systems (and borrowing heavily given the current state of these assets). Our roads need money, too. As for the long list of frills from the countless lobby groups that are constantly asking you for money to fund their particular hobby or cause, these should be funded by tax increases. Only then would we truly know if there is a real need and/or appetite for such facilities by the majority of taxpayers. It’s called a democracy. Demanding that existing facilities recover all of their operational expenses (for adult programs) through user fees would be a step in the right direction as well. Have fun spending my money, John. My taxes went up 8.5 per cent this year and I still can’t wash my car for three weeks in the spring and about the same amount of time in August. There is a three-foot pipe buried on the beach below Willemar Bluffs that carries all of our wastewater to the Brent Road sewage treatment plant. It is way past its “expiry date� and cannot be rebuilt in the same location. Any plans for that or where the money will come from? Or are we just going to wait till it fails? We will all be on the 11 o’clock news when that happens! Courtenay — a city with world-class arts, culture, adult recreation and Third World infrastructure.

Dr. Tim Galway, who has worked with
At the 2013 AGM held at the Vancouver Island Visitors Centre in Courtenay/Cumberland on June 28, a new board of directors was elected for the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance. Dan Smith of Campbell River and formerly with the First Nations Summit is the new chair.

Founding directors Bill Benoit, executive officer for the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board; and Russ Burke, VP and branch manager with Canadian Western Bank, have stepped down with many thanks after years of dedication to VIEA’s work to help ensure economic vitality and sustainability on Vancouver Island. Evan Parliament, formerly CAO for the District of Sooke, has also stepped down with regrets as a VIEA director. New directors elected to the VIEA board include Po Wan,

Festival weekend festive The lack of a Big Time Out 2013 is a shame, but the Valley of Festivals rolls on. Vancouver Island Music Festival was another artistic success. In an effort to expand offerings to their musichungry clientele in a venue they stretch to the max each July, organizers ran music late this year in The Barn. One of VIMF’s six stages, The Barn went to 9 p.m. on all three days, allowing Doug Cox to program some loud acts there and not worry about the sound “bleeding” to other stages. Besides sensational (and loud) performances by the likes of the 24th Street Wailers and Blitz the Ambassador, The Barn hosted musical theatre for the first time. Jackie Richardson and band held audiences spellbound with the tale of early blues shouter Big Mama Thornton. Selling out for the second straight time, MusicFest did alright financially, too, in spite of being frustrated by a lack of municipal government funding. This weekend continues the excitement with the Filberg Festival, Nautical Days and a new creation Friday evening in Cumberland by Big Time Out guru Vig Schulman called Rock the Block. The BC Day weekend, though, is dominated by happenings in Comox, which stages its two biggest events simultaneously. The Filberg Festival will feature its usual gifted artisans, satisfying food, gorgeous setting and likely the usual balmy weather. As well, this is Bobbie Blue’s last year as Filberg entertainment director and she promises the best musical lineup she has ever delivered. Nearby Nautical Days has added things like the Naden Band to a fun-filled lineup that just might be even more entertaining this year. The I-Hos Gallery is getting into the act with its first Night Market on what is now known as Festival Weekend in Comox. VIMF presents guitarist Pete Anderson on Friday at the Cumberland Hotel and there’s cowboy action shooting at Comox Lake. In the Valley of Festivals, you have to work hard to keep up with all the fun. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Record Question of the Week This week: Seventy-eight per cent of respondents said they are concerned about new coal mine applications in our area. Next week: Are you registered as an organ donor? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll on the mainpage. A core review of B.C. government operations and expenses is welcome. Let’s hope there’s some concrete, constructive action that follows.
Floating down a river on a tube when you can’t swim is not a good idea. A woman was lucky last week when Lee Murray rescued her from the Courtenay River.
Canada is the new Cyprus Dear editor, Remember how horrified we were when we heard that Cyprus banks were allowed to take private deposits to bail out the banks? This was called a ‘bail in.’ Well, on June 10 when Harper’s latest omnibus budget bill passed, Canada became the new Cyprus. Carefully buried on pages 144-
145 of the budget bill, banks are allowed to rapidly convert certain bank liabilities (your deposits) into regulatory capital. So thanks to Conservative legislation, your insured deposits, GICs, retirement savings plan, education funds for grandchildren can all be scooped up by your bank if it fails. This is now the law of the land. Only Parliament can
change the law. This Canadian government ‘bail in’ legislation says nothing about guaranteeing protection for depositors. This means that government doesn’t have to bail out banks as it did, saving taxpayers a bundle. Wait a minute, aren’t bank depositors taxpayers? Boy, I’m sure glad I don’t live Cliff Boldt, on Cyprus. Courtenay
Voters not treated with respect Dear editor, The character of people rarely changes. This goes not least for Courtenay city councillor Jon Ambler. As base commander of CFB Comox, he unjustifiably denigrated the area’s civilians. This trait remains evident. Ironically, when he infamously paraphrased the utterance of Socrates, as quoted by Plato, “... hearers of many things and will have learned nothing,” he should also have paid attention to Mnemosyne, Goddess of
Memory. For what Socrates intended, which prefaced his remark and Mr. Ambler should have remembered, was an admonition to those not relying on memory: “You give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth.” As bad, Mr. Ambler gives the voters not even the semblance of respect. To the two letter writers published in the other paper (July 27) who took Mr. Ambler to task with words like “arrogant insult”
and “rude and egotistical,” regrettably, your remarks stamp the man. One would have expected Mr. Ambler to advocate approval of the 3L’s ludicrous, blackmailing development proposal. Although one hears so little, one learns so much. In fairness, who has not at one time or another thoughtlessly uttered a fatuous remark? But then, perhaps, also made amends... Finn Schultz-Lorentzen, Courtenay
VQA wine store closure sad thing Dear editor, It is with heavy heart that I must watch the closing of the Courtenay VQA wine store. This store was a great way to showcase the wines of B.C., and it is a shame that not more people from the Comox Valley were able to make the short trip to visit it. Its location may not have enabled it to be in the thick of Comox Valley commerce, but word of mouth was getting around and folks just needed to give it a try. Not only were Cindy and her staff very knowledgeable about the many wines that our beautiful province has to offer, they
were also able to offer assistance by getting to know their customers and each person’s particular likes and dislikes. Weekend tastings were not
only times to get to know the wines, but also to meet with others who enjoyed drinking the wines of B.C., and compare notes. Sabine Schill, Cumberland
Newspapers do the job Dear editor, I am the communications coordinator for the new Glacier Probus Club that is starting up in the Comox Valley. I sent your paper a small press release about the club and our current status, which I believe you printed last week. Our Glacier Probus Club website (which had been averag-
ing about 60 visitors per day) suddenly ballooned to a total of 1,500 visitors over the past six days. I am pleased to report that our club has now reached full capacity of 150 members, and our first official meeting is not even until Sept. 5. Local newspapers rock! Keith Millard, Comox Valley

Are coal benefits worth downside? Dear editor, After nearly four years of controversy over the proposed Raven Coal Mine, we now see a proliferation of exploration applications throughout the Comox Valley and farther north. It really is time to decide if we, the citizens, want to live in a coal-induced wasteland or not. The justification for increased mining activity by our two senior levels of government is firstly, jobs and secondly, tax money. 1. Jobs. The mining industry generally ranks at the absolute bottom of the employment statistics nationally and provincially. In B.C., resource extraction is ranked bottom, behind even culture and sport, as an employer. (Source: BC stats). 2. Financial tax benefits. The value of mining as a source of funding for government coffers is highly questionable and undoubtedly overstated. There is a cumulative cost associated with mining which should be recognized and given monetary value reflected in stated tax benefits. These cumulative costs would include: • Damage to the environment; • Irrecoverable costs of pollution created by defunct and abandoned mines; • Harm to existing industries. I.e. (shellfish and tourism); • Unnecessary contribution to climate change and related health issues. Some of these issues are clearly demonstrated in two local illustrations. Firstly, the Tsolum River — grievously harmed by a bankrupt mining company — has cost millions of
COALWATCH COMOX VALLEY raised the alarm recently about new coal mine applications. dollars, many years and countless volunteer hours to remediate to the point where it can begin to support salmon reproduction. Secondly, Union Bay is to this day designated one of the most polluted sites in B.C. Again, millions of taxpayer dollars will be required to remediate the damage from the long-departed coal industries responsible. Our governments seem hell bent on consigning us to being the “hewers of wood” with dying industries that will leave nothing but economic and ecological degradation here and abroad. It is high time we told our leaders to take some of the millions of dollars they provide to these industries and invest those dollars in a future that provides long-term employment and protects this beautiful Valley.

Provincial NDP soul search not going anywhere committee might kick around. Having lost the 2009 election campaigning against the carbon tax, the NDP is now calling for it to be increased and extended to greenhouse gases produced by industrial process emissions. A simple example is a cement kiln, which burns fuel to reach the temperature at which
the components are partially burned and cement is produced. Cement manufacturers pay carbon tax on the fuel, whether it’s natural gas or shredded tires, but not on the process. B.C. cement makers are already pleading for relief, because the fuel-intensive process puts them at a price disadvantage with U.S.
Politics
Tom
Fletcher and Chinese producers. Further unilateral tax action by B.C. would only further increase imports, and potentially push B.C.
firms out of business. Goodbye unionized private sector jobs. Dix’s last foray in question period before the summer legislature session adjourned was a demand for the government to order BC Ferries to build its next three ships in B.C. Leave aside the NDP’s uncritical zeal for state control, and their ill-fated experi-
ment with aluminum fast ferries. The most likely bidder for this work is Seaspan. Seaspan is hiring almost 2,000 people to build ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard. It will be flat out to get that done, and the company president can’t yet say if it has the capacity and skilled labour to bid on BC
Ferries ships too. Seaspan has to operate in the real world of limited resources. So does the NDP, but it’s not clear if they can find a way out of their thicket of special interests and stale economic notions. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

VICTORIA — B.C. NDP president Moe Sihota says an external review of the party’s performance in the May election will “look very much at the DNA of the NDP.” Early signs are not encouraging. Start with the five-member panel announced to conduct the review. The required “labour” representation is in the person of Cindy Oliver, president of the union representing college and university instructors, and Andy Ross, ex-president of COPE 378, which represents BC Hydro employees among others. Another appointee is NDP MP Jinny Sims, a former president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. If the party wants to further solidify its image as a lobby group for pension-subsidized government unions, it’s off to a great start. The terms of reference defy parody. In addition to unions, the panel required “more than one woman.” A sub-committee may be struck, if it has representation from “youth, women, labour, visible minority, LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisesexual, transgendered, questioning).” I presume the party’s lengthy antiharassment policy will be read out to begin all meetings. Once they finally get down to business, the list of election campaign details they must examine is long. In addition to that, they must review “stakeholder relations including community leaders, business, social movement, ethnic communities, environmental movement, affiliated unions and the labour movement.” One of the excuses offered by leader Adrian Dix for the party’s defeat was the loss of 40,000 jobs in the B.C. forest industry. The suggestion is that those people left for Alberta, and if they were still here, they would have voted NDP. That presumed solidarity has never existed in the private sector, and in fact the highest-paid union workers have good reason to vote for lower taxes. To confirm B.C. and Canada’s “progressive” tax system, all they have to do is look at their pay stubs. The mandate for this review mentions not one actual public policy issue. Here’s one the

COURTENAY, B.C.
Doors opened for Ronny Cox Scott Stanfield Record Staff
You may not recognize his name or his songs, but you’re bound to recognize some of his films: RoboCop, Beverly Hills Cop and Total Recall. As Drew in Deliverance, he strummed a guitar alongside a youth in the famous duelling banjos scene. The actor/musician in question is Ronny Cox, who performed on several stages at this year’s MusicFest. He participated in a writers’ circle at the Grierson stage, a Sunday morning gospel session at the Concert Bowl and spoke about life as an actor at the Instructional Stage tucked away in the woods behind the fairgrounds. Accompanied by mandolinist Chojo Jacques and accordionist Radoslav Lorkovic at the Grassy Knoll, Cox sang the Randy Newman-penned Louisiana 1927 — which recounts the Great Mississippi Flood. He discussed the Navajo word hoeshk — which translates into how a person should live their life — and recalled a funny story involving a woman he encountered at a Texas airport who swore he was her gynecologist. Cox also spoke about his late wife Mary, who passed away in 2006. They wed in 1960. And he sang a song about his granddaughter Catherine, who weighed one pound, 10 ounces at birth — and others alike who survived against all odds “because they have something to accomplish in this world. “She’s the light of my life, that girl. She was so tiny you could hold her in your hand,” said Cox, 75, a father of two sons and grandfather of two. He recalled the family tried not to attach themselves in her first few days because they weren’t sure if they’d be able to keep Catherine. “She’s perfectly
healthy now.” Cox was born and raised in Portales, New Mexico, and now lives in L.A. He played in a band in college but started cutting records in high school. At Clovis, N.M., which is about 19 miles from his hometown, Cox recorded at the same studio where Buddy Holly cut Peggy Sue. “When I was struggling as an actor I was also struggling as a musician,” he said. “I actually got my first film because I could play. “Deliverance was my first film. Ned Beatty’s first film, too…It opened doors that I didn’t even know existed.” Last year marked the 40th anniversary of the making of Deliverance. Cox has written a book about the experience, entitled Dueling Banjos: The Deliverance of Drew. In his second big film, Cox portrayed radio personality/union organizer Ozark Bule in Bound for Glory, a film about folk legend Woody Guthrie. His first TV series, Apple’s Way, also had a musical element, with Cox performing a song each week. “Early in my career everybody knew that I was a player, but it’s just that I’ve had such success in the last 25 years or so playing generally guys in suits and ties, presidents or the dictators of Mars, or RoboCop or Beverly Hills Cop. Now when people see me with a guitar, it sort of messes with their mind a little bit.” Cox says playing the bad guy is “20 million times more fun to play” than the good guy — a comparison he likens to painting. “We try to be good people every day of our life but that’s boring. If you’re the good guy you get three colours: red, white and blue. If you’re the bad guy you get the whole palette. “The bad guys always get to make the best choices. I much prefer the bad guys.” reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Intriguing shapes and light streaming through jewel-tone colours. Functional tableware, a stone quilt and one-of-a-kind glass installations. Those words only hint at the creative exhibit the Samphires will present at the Filberg Festival. The annual arts and crafts festival takes place Friday through Monday over the BC Day long weekend. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day except Monday when the festival closes at 5. It’s a family affair for the special guest artists this year. Adele and Sid Samphire work in clay while their daughter Lisa creates designs out of handblown glass. All will be displayed under the arbor on the upper level of Filberg Heritage Park. Sid and Adele have been at every festival except two since 1996; this will be the fourth year in a row that Lisa has joined them.

The Samphires met while attending art school in Britain. Ironically, neither was studying or even making pottery at the time. Sid was painting and inscribing while Adele focused on dressmaking and textiles. “We moved to Canada in 1965 and started a family,” explains Sid. “Adele took a pottery course as a way to have some time away from two young children. She developed an interest and began making decorative wall hangings for The Bay and apartment buildings. That’s how it started.” In the beginning Adele fired her work at Douglas College putting everything together and framing it on a tarp in their house. Eventually Sid made a small studio for her. Later they built a kiln. In the meantime, Sid was teaching art at a Lower Mainland high school and trying to paint. “I’d start a painting then there’d be a threeweek gap and the urge was gone,” he explains. “Then I realized that if
I had a weekend free, I could complete a pottery project.” In the early days Sid and Adele used the same types of clay and glazes and fired their work at the same temperatures. But when Sid retired he began working with differ-

Bursting forth from Canada’s capital, native producer/DJ crew A Tribe Called Red is producing a truly unique sound that’s impacting the global electronic scene and urban club culture. Since 2010, the group — two-time Canadian DMC champion DJ Shub, DJ NDN (Ian Campeau) and DJ Bear Witness — has been mixing traditional powwow vocals and drumming with cutting-edge electronic music. Their self-titled album, released in March 2012, was longlisted for Canada’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize and included in the Washington Post’s top 10 albums of the year. In a sense, ATCR’s music is the soundtrack to a contemporary evolution of the powwow: their Electric Pow Wow events in Ottawa
showcase native talent and aboriginal culture, alongside an open, wild party. Within a couple of years they’ve become the face of an urban native youth renaissance, championing their heritage and speaking out on aboriginal issues, while being on top of popular music, fashion and art. DJ Bear Witness doubles as the crew’s visual artist and creates stunning, political and sometimes humorous videos that incorporate film and pop culture references to native people and reclaim the aboriginal image. On May 7, A Tribe Called Red released their second full-length album, Nation II Nation. The music of A Tribe Called sends a potent political message with a subtle touch. Over the years, the group’s brand of electrified powwow music has become associated with Idle No More, a growing protest movement in Canada advocating for indigenous sovereignty. The trio’s riveting

new album, Nation II Nation, is their third big release in less than a year. It was just announced on the Polaris Music Prize long-list nomination. When members of A Tribe Called Red take the stage sporting Atlanta Braves caps or Cleveland Indians hoodies, they say they’re taking ownership of hurtful images
by integrating them into their art. “We like to call it ‘active decolonization’ or ‘indiginizing,’ ” says Campeau, a father of two who recently launched a campaign to rename the Nepean Redskins, a youth football team in Ontario. As artists, however, Campeau says his group is “taking these images that send the
wrong idea about First Nations peoples and we’re wearing it, and using it, and saying something with it.” For more about the band, visit https:// soundcloud.com/atribe-called-red and http://atribecalledred. com.

Great music, weighty issues all included in 13 Rainbow Youth Theatre begins presentations Aug. 7
Rainbow Youth Theatre’s production of the musical 13 opens Aug. 7 at Mark Isfeld Secondary School. With an unforgettable rock score, 13 is a hilarious, high-energy musical for all ages. The musical is about discovering that cool is where you find it, and sometimes where you least expect it. The play follows young Evan Goldman as he moves from New York City to smalltown Indiana, prepares for his impending Bar Mitzvah, and navigates the complicated social circles of a new school. Directed by multitalented RYT alumnus Joey Clarkson, the cast of over 20 teenagers has been working hard since early July on preparing this highenergy show. “We are so lucky to have such a wonderful cast of youth involved in this summer’s production,” says Clarkson. “I can honestly say that this cast is like a family; I have never had a group of more inclusive and supportive individuals involved in one show. “How much they love each other and what they do is totally reflected on stage. They take on every challenge we throw at them, no matter how sweaty, embarrassing or difficult it is. Working with these kids is a privilege.” The choreographer for the show is another RYT alumnus, Erin Walker, who recently graduated from the musical theatre program at Capilano University. “One of the reasons I love this show is
Clarkson is also a s i n g e r- s o n g w r i t e r with an album out on iTunes and she has gathered together an experienced group of musicians to perform all of the music during the production. Tickets are available at Laughing Oyster

Joey Clarkson because the songs all have their own style. I get to choreograph a whole whack of different dances. We have some rock, ‘70s groove, some teen pop, some gospel, and even a tap number,” says Walker. The content of the musical is not easy for either the actors or the
production team, as it confronts some of the issues that are at the forefront of news today. “This play deals with bullying and the devastating consequences of rumours, as well as cliques, first kisses, hormones, and growing up,” explains Walker.
The play also uses humour to promote its message of being true to yourself no matter the consequences. “I always find it hard to describe this show when someone asks me what it’s about, because when I explain the basis of the storyline and the morals behind the story it is hard to convince people that it is portrayed mainly using humour,” Clarkson says. “To me, this show is about growing up. Every awkward moment that anyone

HAPPENING
TRIMENSION CONSISTS OF Miles Black, Scott White and Roger Baird, who will perform in Cumberland and on Denman Island next weekend.
Creative trio making rare appearances ‘Zen-like focus’ helps band to transcend musical genres
Trimension, with Roger Baird on drums and featuring stellar pianist Miles Black and bassist par excellence Scott White, will make two rare appearances in the Comox Valley. The trio plays at Studio Live! in Cumberland on Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. and at the Denman Island Community Hall on Aug. 10 at 8 p.m. The trio is a melding of three of Canada’s most creative musical minds. The musicians take inspiration from a multitude of influences and use their improvisatory skills to create a unique musical tapestry. The resulting acoustic music is original, passionate, involving, accessible, sensitive and beautiful. The trio has released one CD, Spirit Door, as well as a DVD. • Baird has performed and recorded around the world in a career that spans 40 years. He was active in the ‘70s New York
www.comoxvalleyrecord.com
Loft scene playing regularly with The Music Ensemble composed of William Parker, bass, Billy Bang, violin, Dewey Johnson, trumpet, Earl Freeman, bass, Daniel Carter, flutes and reeds, and in numerous projects involving many other great musicians. During the late ‘80s and ‘90s, he performed/ recorded as sideman and bandleader with some of Canada’s most adventurous musicians as well as with U.S., European and Japanese artists, including Marilyn Crispell, Glenn Spearman, Walter Wierbos, Dr. Umezu and Lisle Ellis. His melodic style of drumming brings a fresh vision to the instrument. • Black’s playing has been compared to the likes of piano greats, Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau. His performance is melodic, creative and spellbinding. The list of jazz greats he has played or recorded with is too long to list in entirety but includes Maynard Ferguson, Harry (Sweets) Edison, Slide Hampton, Dee Daniels, Oliver Gannon, the Paul Horn Band, Chuck Israels, Max
Roach, Lew Tabackin, and Houston Person. This is a rare opportunity to see Miles play in an environment where his creativity and musicality shine in a completely new light. • Now living in Berlin, White left Canada to become the musical director, bandleader and bass player for Berlin’s Cirque du Soleil. A gifted bassist, he now tours around Europe and North America collaborating with many renowned musicians in styles ranging from Russian folk and gypsy swing to free jazz. Scott is a very entertaining player to hear and watch. His sound palette encompasses many unorthodox percussive and melodic effects. He is a virtuoso with an unmatched playing style. Scott’s improvisational talents and virtuosity on the bass shine in the context of Trimension. What others have to say about the CD, Spirit Door, recorded live at the Denman Hall:
“..the combination of spontaneous composition with zen-like focus and communication leads to songs that transcend genres.” — Lester French, WMEB FM. “Subtle, cerebral music with its own spirit and sense of intimate group dialogue.” — Stuart Broomer CODA magazine. Advance tickets for the Aug. 9 Cumberland gig are available

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

Valley sending nine-person contingent to Canada Games Earle Couper Record Staff
SAFE AT HOME! No, he’s out. According to Komoux Masters Real Baseball League rules, runner Jason Handlen should have slid into home plate when confronted by an opposing player (pitcher Ron “Iron Arm” Arksey) to avoid a possible injury.

Junior golfers big winners at Pro Am Kevin Maxwell scores ace at annual Slegg Lumber event
Although they didn’t play, the Island’s junior golfers were the big winners at the 20th annual Slegg Lumber Pro Am tournament held July 16 at Glacier Greens Golf Course. This year’s tournament raised nearly $8,500 for junior golf and the Slegg Lumber Junior Tour. Clear skies and warm temperatures greeted the 26 pros and 104 amateurs. One of the day’s highlights was a $10,000 hole-inone on the 188-yard, par-three seventh hole. Olympic View Golf Club head professional Kevin Maxwell scored the elusive ace using a six iron. The hole sponsor Mark Hedican of WesternOne Rentals and Sales in Comox (who has sponsored a hole in this tournament for all 20 years) was very pleased for Kevin. Maxwell is well known in the Comox Valley for his curling and golfing talents. Scott Fraser of Royal LePage and Bill Girard of the Canadian Western Bank also sponsored hole-in-ones, however only Maxwell was able to get the ace. Following play the participants and volunteers were treated to an excellent buffet and barbecue rib dinner prepared by Glacier Greens new chef Ben Gill and then all had a chance to visit a well-stocked prize table. First place in the team event with a score of - 32 went to Mohammed Khan (Golf Town) and his team of Phil Watson, David Mackay, Luke Barber and Dave Fritz. Next at -29 was Gord Mellisa (Pheasant Glen), Alan Dyck, Darren Dyck, Ian Haigh and Gavin Haigh. At -26 was Shota Kanda (Pheasant Glen), Joe Formosa, Colem Kenny, Mike Code and Joel Formo-

Happy’s Islanders at national oldtimers tournament The Happy’s Source for Sports Islanders are off to the 2013 Canadian Oldtimers Baseball Championships, scheduled for the August long weekend in Edmonton. The Oldtimers tournament has three divisions – 35+, 44+, and 50+. The Islanders, with an average age of about 58, will be in
tough in the 50+ division. The website for all information including schedules and results is at http://www. leaguelineup.com/welcome. asp?url=cnobf. The one and only time that a Valley team travelled to the national tournament was in 2010 when it was played in Vancouver, and while the experience was
wonderful, the result was less than stellar. A goal this year is to improve on that performance, a team spokesperson said. This year’s team is based on the Happy’s Source for Sports Indians team that plays in the Komoux Men’s Real Baseball League in Comox. With a foundation anchored by veterans Buck
Royals vying for B.C. crown Bantam AAA baseball squad in Kamloops for tourney
The North Island Bantam AAA Royals baseball team is at the Provincials this weekend in Kamloops. They qualified at a tournament in Victoria last weekend. In their first game the Royals took down the Burnaby Braves 9-3. Clutch hitting, error-free defence and solid pitching by Powell River’s Austin Brown helped earn the win. They then played the red-hot Nanaimo Pirates who had won five of their last seven games. The winner of this game would get the berth in Kamloops. The North Island squad scored a run in the first and then again in the second inning to go up 2-0. The lead held until the bottom of the fifth, when the Pirates strung together a few hits. After scoring a run on a hit to deep left field, the relay combination of Jacob Ingersoll (centre field) and Liam Janzen (third base) and catcher Cory Bukauskas threw out a runner attempting to score from first base to end the comeback attempt. The Royals scored two in the sixth and seven in the seventh inning to get the 11-1 victory. Bryce Stromquist threw 75 pitches in a complete game masterpiece. Royals’ coach Lee McKIllican liked his team’s approach, claiming, “It’s a simple game to win when your pitchers throw strikes, your

dale Spurs. The Cards jumped out to a 3-0 lead early, and then added to it with a solo shot by starting pitcher Stich. In the fourth the Spurs started to claw back and had tied it up 4-4 by the sixth. With two outs and runners on second and third in the bottom of the sixth, left fielder Shane Lapp made a great catch on a gap shot that would have given the Spurs the lead. Going into the seventh inning the game was tied 4-4. The Cards got the go-ahead run in the top half via a hit, a stolen base and a twoout RBI single. The Spurs came out in the

Haydyn Kierstead and reliever Brayden Baker and dominated offensively, taking the game 11-2. On Saturday morning a match-up against the Abbotsford Angels would decide the playoff fate for both teams. Once again solid pitching from starter Jackson Mayhew, middle relief from Trevor Pruden, and closer Ryan Stich, propelled the Cardinals to a 4-3 victory, second place in pool B and a berth in Sunday’s semifinal game against #1 in Pool A.

The Comox Valley Bantam A Cardinals took top spot at the Burnaby Minor Baseball Association Summer Tournament, the last tune-up before the Island championships and a possible provincial berth. The Cards began Friday afternoon and, despite a good pitching performance from starter Ben Swing and outstanding catches by John Murray, they did not play sharp and dropped an 8-4 decision to the Vernon Canadians. On Friday night the locals faced the Richmond Chuckers. The Cardinals got great pitching from starter

bottom of the seventh needing a run to send the game to extras and two for the win. Stich finished an outstanding pitching performance, leaving the game on maximum pitch count with two outs on ground balls to second baseman Duncan Harvey and a runner on. Kierstead came on in relief, where he walked the Spurs clean-up hitter and faced the number five batter with the tying run on third and the winning run on second. The count went full before the Cardinal closer struck out the Spurs hitter, giving the locals a 5-4 victory and a berth in the tournament final. In the final the Cards faced the unbeaten Vernon Canadians, who had defeated them in the opener. On the back of a strong complete game by starter Baker, great fielding by Reid Cochrane and Jonah Silas-Hill and an onslaught at the plate, including homers by Caleb Dolman and Jackson Mayhew, the Comox Valley team took advantage of a tired Vernon pitching staff and went on to a 15-3 mercy rule victory. MVPs for the individual tournament games were John Murray, Trevor Pruden, Ryan Stich, and Brayden Baker. The Cardinals hosted the zone playoffs July 27-28 but were unable to snag a berth to the provincials. The team thanks their sponsor ReMax Ocean Pacific. – ReMax Ocean Pacific Realty Bantam A Cardinals

The fastest classes from across the Island graced Saratoga Speedway on Saturday. The Wilroc Lites, Dwarf cars, Bomber cars, I.M.C.A Modifieds and Motorcycles were all on the racing card. Two heats and one main event were given to each class. A seasonhigh 10 Wilroc Lites took to the track. #26 Cam McLean took the B heat with the A going to #22x Dave Emmerson, who was racing a Lite car for the first time this year. After some early battles in the main event, #98 Lance Wade finally emerged as the leader on lap 13 of 35 and went on to win his second main event of the year (which took only eight minutes and 41 seconds to complete).
A season-high six I.M.C.A Modifieds qualified. #89 Gregg Sagmoen took the first heat with the reverse going to #44 Tim Openshaw. Openshaw found his way to the front of their 20-lap main event on lap two and motored to his first main event win of the year. Eight Bombers hit the track. #46 Ryan Monks held off his brother Jeff Monks in the first heat, with the reverse going to #61 Don Hallgarth. After blowing two engines this year, #97 Mike Dionne finally found himself in the winner’s circle, taking the lead on lap 17 of 25 and snapping points leader #72 Stewart Lee’s four main event winning streak. #11 Eric Flynn almost had his best night so far in the Motorcycle class.

won both heats, but after leading the main event for the first six laps he stalled his bike, opening the door for #5 Ben Durperron to win his first main event of the year. A full field of Dwarf cars hit the track for their fourth appearance of the year. #8 Mike Schott held off the field to win the first heat, with the reverse going to #32 Ryan Orchard. Orchard carried that momentum into the 20-lap main event, taking the lead on lap three and winning his first main event of the year at Saratoga.

The Powerhouse Drywall Athletics powered their way to a 9-1 victory over Happy’s Source for Sports Reds in Friday night Comox Valley Men’s Baseball League action at Bill Moore Memorial Park. It was a tight contest until the fourth inning thanks in part to the starting pitchers – Josh Chapman for the A’s and Bob Atwood for the Reds. Dennis Barna got the offence going for the A’s when he hit a go-ahead double. In the second game of the night, the Inves-
tors Group Dodgers played the A’s to a 6-6 tie. Barna was once again key at the plate for the A’s, belting a two-run dinger to keep the game tied. The league is hosting the inaugural Happy’s Source for Sports Men’s Baseball Tournament on Aug. 10-11 with teams from Duncan, Port McNeill, Campbell River and the three local men’s teams coming to play.

first fish and for several young skilled bullhead fishers it is a time to show their angling skills. In keeping with the goals of the derby I suggest keeping your fishing tackle as simple as possible. The small fishing rods for children are suitable. Pinch the barbs on the hooks for easy release of fish. Worms or small bits of raw fish make good bait. Weights such as split shot or weight-
SURROUNDED BY FOREST, the lineup is long for pancakes, sausage, fruit and a hearty camp breakfast. PHOTO BY RALPH SHAW here are a few tangible and not so tangible mementos — targets with arrow and bullet holes in them, a box of flies some of which they tied themselves. For some of them it was likely the time they saw the stars and moonlight undimmed by urban lights in the night sky. They received some basic lessons on how to be a responsible fisher, hunter or outdoor person. During the short four days of the camp
they were subjected to magnum doses of natural learning to cure some of nature’s deficiencies. This column would suggest it is a good thing. ••• The 27th annual Bullhead Derby takes place Saturday, Aug. 3 at the government wharf in Comox from 8:30 to 11:30 am. Note: The entry form states a life jacket or personal flotation device required. This year I will be going to the
derby with the children of children I took to the derby over 20 years ago. It would be a safe bet that there are more than a few grandparents having the same type of experience. One has to wonder about the popularity of a catch and release derby that focuses on such inauspicious trophy fish as the common bullhead and still continues to attract hundreds of children each year. For many children it will be their

RALPH SHAW ed lures are important to get the bait near the bottom. It is a good idea to bring a small bucket such as an ice cream pail to carry fish to the judging and release station, although
you get small plastic bags to carry the fish in when you register. To simplify the registration fill out the registration form in advance. Good luck to all bullhead fishers. Ralph Shaw is a master fly fisherman who was awarded the Order of Canada in 1984 for his conservation efforts. In 20 years of writing a column in the Comox Valley Record it has won several awards.

or the past five summers members of the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF), the Comox Valley Fly Fishers and appropriate government agencies and industry groups join forces in delivering an inspiring, memory creating Kid Camp formally sponsored by Region 1 of the BCWF. The Kid Camp is hosted by the Courtenay and District Fish and Game Protective Association (CDFGPA) at its magnificent site on Comox Lake. Words fail me when I try to express my admiration for the volunteers who come out to make this unique children’s camp a success. From the cooks, archers, anglers, shooters, to the grandmothers who comfort the odd homesick child, it is an inspiring adventure for all concerned. On the afternoon the children arrive they get a memorable experience of a special bus trip to Mount Washington to view Vancouver Island marmots in the wild. These youngsters get to see a creature on the brink of survival. According to recent climate change studies the environment on Mount Washington may change so that it isn’t compatible with the survival of these marmots. I wonder how many Valley residents have seen our unique marmots in the wild. The first evening is Cowboy Action in the club’s pioneer village setting and orientation to camp routines. The morning programs are tightly scheduled with the boys and girls (aged 10 to 14) being organized into mixed groups of 10 or 11 for each session. Pictured with this column is the first morning lineup for a delicious breakfast of pancakes, sausage, and fresh fruit. Each group is rotated through hands-on sessions in archery, shooting, combined fly tying and casting. During the afternoons they get a life jacket drill from the RCMP, survival drill from members of 442 Squadron and a message from conservation officers on the importance of conservation and following the rules. Evenings are filled with campfire circles (no campfire this year) and the experience of camping camaraderie. What does a child take away from such a camp? Well in this case

“The strongest most freespirited influence of my childhood is free once again. We’re going to miss you Under Gramma.” Ben
IN MEMORIAM In Memory of PHILLIP R GRAVES May 17 1946 - July 31 2000 Forever in our hearts Love, your Family
Sylvia was a strong, beautiful woman, who made her life’s path her own. Growing up, first, in the wilds of Sayward and then for many years on the ocean’s in Royston, nature was where she truly loved to be. She loved flowers and gardening and was chiefly employed in that domain. Sylvia had a sharp mind and a great love for reading. She was not afraid of much and boldly went towards any challenge caring not a wit as to its difficulty. She had many friends of all ages and walks of life. She was a brave woman, who overcame obstacles that others would have given up on, including an accident that left her in a wheelchair in her later years. A true artist herself, she enjoyed movies, theatre, music and an infinite variety of arts and crafts. Sylvia lived life, and didn’t wait for anyone to tell her how. She got on with it and was an inspiration to us all. Sylvia is survived by her sisters Marilyn Seifert and Beverly Turnbull, her four children Sandy Staples (Barry), Charles Bedford (Gina), Kim Weninger (Gary) and Dawn Bedford (Mike), her grand children Ben (Alissa), Kelsey (Jamie), Garrett (Ciele), Candace, Tristan, Nik and Alex and great grand children Kara May, Leland, Sophie, Abby and Jayda as well as many nieces, nephews, family and friends. Everyone is invited to a celebration of Sylvia’s life at 2:00 pm on Saturday August 31st at the Staples residence, 360 Salsbury Rd, in Courtenay. In Lieu of flowers donations may be made in Sylvia’s name to, Spinal Cord Injury BC, 780 Southwest Marine Dr., Vancouver BC V6P 5Y7. The family would like to thank the caring staff at Eagle View in Comox, for all of their help and kindness and Piercy’s Mt. Washington Funeral Home for their services.

Request for Proposal Our 68th Wedding Anniversary
How well we remember, the day that we met. When GOD drew us to-gether, we shall never forget. Yes, we’ve been through the valley’s of hardship and tears, But our love has grown deeper, through these sixty eight years. Our dear, darling daughter, gave us a son, by marriage to George. Just look what they’ve done. Two great grandchildren, Tami & Dan, Tami married Lane and Roxanne married Dan. Then, eight grandchildren, What a blessing they’ve been. Then, a great, great granddaughter, arrived on the scene. Our dear LORD has blessed us, dear Evert and me, With a long life to-gether, and a great family. Brothers and sisters, and dear parents too. Who taught us good morals, to live our life through. Our nieces and nephews, we love them so. We all stick to-gether, we reap what we sow. Thanks, Lord, for the blessings, that you’ve given here on earth. You’ve been faithful to us, since the day of our birth. Now we’re still together, through sixty-eight years With laughter and joy, and heartaches and tears. So we’ll stay to-gether, dear Evert and me, Then live life forever, in Eternity.
