Festival funding is possible Scott Stanfield Record Staff
This is the final instalment of a three-part series about Vancouver Island MusicFest funding. Edwin Grieve is a founding member of Vancouver Island MusicFest and served seven years on the board of directors. Grieve, Area C director and board chair of the Comox Valley Regional District, is aware of the challenges of running a festival and staying on budget year after year. He recalls the first few years were very tight.
“In fact, we ended up about $48,000 in the red the very first year and had to go begging to the regional district committee of the whole for a deferral of the rental fee for the site and the campground,” he said. In years past, user groups needed to run water and power lines at the fairgrounds then remove them to allow the next group to run water and power for their event. But 2011 and 2012 saw the completion of more than $1 million in “long-awaited infrastructure upgrades that will service the site for years to come,”
Grieve said. The CVRD provides grants-inaid to a variety of arts, cultural and community activities and organizations. MusicFest received $1,000 toward sponsorship for water crews in 2011 and $900 for water crew/zero waste T-shirts in 2010. The district also contributed $2,000 and $600 towards signage sponsorship in 2010 and 2009 respectively. It did not provide a grant last year. Comox Mayor Paul Ives said each Valley municipality has con-

An application to develop a riverfront community near the popular Stotan Falls swimming hole will remain on hold until the regional district board adopts a fees and charges bylaw pertaining to the Regional Growth Strategy. At committee of the whole proceedings Tuesday, district staff recommended denying an application from 3L Developments to amend the RGS, which the board adopted more than two years ago after extensive public consultation, that generally did not support urban residential development in rural areas. However, directors debated at length another recommendation to delay standard amendments to the RGS to 2016, in conjunction with the first five-year review process of the document. Several board members questioned the RGS amendment process. Comox director Tom Grant feels 3L has followed the process by applying for a standard amendment, but suggests the district does not like the language in the application. He was not speaking for or against 3L but about following a process initiated by the board. “I don’t think we’re being fair here,” Grant said. Courtenay director Starr Winchester is concerned the board is setting itself up for a legal battle because it had told 3L to apply but is now discussing the possibility of not considering applications until 2016. “It’s ludicrous if we can change the RGS on a whim,” she said. “What kind of a document is

that?” Area B director Jim Gillis feels it would be a mistake to move quickly and to consider a standard amendment before conducting a five-year-review of the RGS. Courtenay director Bill Anglin suggests projects such as 3L’s should flourish or fail on their own merits, but Gillis feels the RGS should be allowed to mature before dealing with standard amendments. A tie vote defeated a recommendation to only consider standard amendments by 2016. Winchester, Grant, Anglin and Courtenay directors Jon Ambler and Manno Theos opposed the recommendation. Gillis, Comox director Patti Fletcher, Cumberland director Gwyn Sproule, Area A director Bruce Jolliffe and Area C director Edwin Grieve were in favour. 3L hopes to construct homes and develop trails at the confluence of the Puntledge and Browns rivers. The board had rejected an offer to purchase the property, after which the company closed two sets of gates on Duncan Bay Main and enforced No Trespassing signs at Stotan Falls. It has re-opened the road in an effort to resolve the situation. “There seems to be a disconnect from what we originally proposed,” company spokesman Kabel Atwall said at Tuesday’s meeting. “Our hope is we can at least get the fees and charges bylaw put together, then we can flesh out our application. “We’re not asking for a decision, we just want the process underway.”

My favourite ❝ memory was when
Record Staff A Thursday house fire at 2868 Bruce St. in Cumberland appears to have been caused by an electrical short to ground, says fire chief Mike Williamson. Investigators have ruled out the home’s smart meter as the cause, but say the fire originated near the meter and damaged it. While damage was extensive, Williamson said the house can be repaired. “I believe this was because of the neighbours’ awareness and fast action to noises,” he said, noting a 911 call resulted in a quick response by firefighters. The blaze was contained to the attic space which was ventilated due to roof vents burning off. The fire burned a “great access hole in

The investigation is ongoing. Williamson said attic fires can be devastating because they contain no fire protection. “It’s very dry wood and tar roof and this time of year extremely hot and dry.” Smoke alarms are

Watching‘Survivor Man’ helped pair through ordeal

Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue was paged late Monday afternoon to begin a search for brothers who failed to return to their camp site Monday morning. The brothers from Victoria, aged 29 and 21, had set out to summit Mt. Albert Edward last Saturday afternoon. Other hikers in the area who noticed the pair’s tent remained abandoned called RCMP and raised the concern. CVGSAR responded immediately, establishing a search base at Raven’s Lodge and requesting helicopter support to insert search teams into high probability areas. Despite heavy cloud cover, the first team was in the air just after 5 p.m. heading into Circlet Lake to inspect the campsite
and to begin an ascent of Albert Edward. Fortunately for the lost hikers, the cloud cover forced the helicopter to take an alternate route into the Lake and CVGSAR personnel quickly spotted the pair on a ridge along the Cruishank River canyon. CVGSAR members were relieved to find the brothers in good condition despite their ordeal. The pair were tired, hungry, bug bitten and scraped but sang the praises of “Survivor Man” Les Straud for his survival lessons. The men had built a shelter and had a fire going that was extinguished by the SAR team and reported to the Coastal Fire Centre for follow-up, stated CVGSAR Search Manager, Paul Berry. — CVGSAR
Protest over new Denman Island ferry on Sunday
Denman Island residents will protest this weekend against the proposed cable ferry, and they plan to send a petition to Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone. BC Ferries Corporation held information sessions on Denman and Hornby Islands last week updating residents about plans for a cable ferry on the Buckley Bay to Denman Island route. Hornby resident and past Hornby Ferry senior master Pete Kimmerly has safety and technical con-
cerns about the planned cable ferry, which would replace the traditional ferry, the Quinista, in 2014. He has a website outlining his concerns at www.sendintheclowns.info. He says about 110 people came out to the meeting on Denman Island, and residents he’s heard from on both islands seem unanimously against the project. “The project is just crazy. I’m amazed that it has got this far,” says Kimmerly, who’s organizing a protest at 2 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 18 at the Denman West ferry dock. “I’ve given up talking to Ferries — you might as
well talk to a brick — and I’m thinking the best way to do this now is to embarrass the government, that’s my new tactic.” Kimmerly says residents are also considering launching a class action law suit against BCFC for “violation” of their “rights as B.C. residents.” Monday, a petition called British Columbia’s Minister of Transportation - Mr. Todd Stone: STOP the Denman Island Cable Ferry Project went live on www.change.org, and as of Wednesday morning it had about 160 signatures. According to BCFC, vessel construction is expected

to start in September, terminal construction is expected to start in November, and the cable ferry should be operating by October next year. The cable ferry would be the longest salt water cable ferry in the world, and among other things, residents have expressed concerns around safety, technical feasibility, reliability and job loss throughout the entire public consultation process. Concerns around the ferry’s ability to operate in during storms is a common concern, and Kimmerly says BCFC data on wind in Baynes Sound is flawed.
But, BCFC vice-president of engineering Mark Wilson maintains the cable ferry will be able to run in the same weather conditions as the Quinista. The cable ferry is expected to hold 50 vehicles, as does the Quinista. The ferry would operate on three cables, one drive cable and two guide cables, with the drive cable replaced each year. The aging terminal infrastructure on the Denman side of the route will be kept for at least five years, according to BCFC, to ensure a traditional ferry can resume service on the

route in case of an issue. BCFC cites major cost savings as a big reason for the change — $19 million could be saved over the life of the assets calculated on discounted net present value basis. Lower fuel costs, maintenance costs and labour costs, (the cable ferry is expected to need half the crew the Quinista does to operate). Ferry Advisory Committee chair for Denman-Hornby Tony Law says he hasn’t heard all residents’ opinions about the cable ferry, but the people he’s heard from are generally against it. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Politicians say funding for MusicFest is possible

tributed to MusicFest through the CVRD towards upgrades at the grounds. Each year, the Town provides about $20,000 and in-kind services to Nautical Days. The Filberg Festival receives a full-time gardener (year-round), seasonal parks workers and other in-kind services from the Town. Cumberland supports festivals and events in-kind, not with cash. The City of Courtenay supports the arts and cultural community but does not directly support festivals — though council considers requests. It gave $5,000 to the Elevate the Arts festival, which received the same amount from the Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association. The City does not have a grant-in-aid program, but permissive exemptions can be given to waive taxes. Mayor Larry Jangula understands the frustrations of MusicFest producer Doug Cox when it comes to municipal
funding or the lack thereof. He feels the subject needs to be discussed on a “Valleywide basis” because each municipality and electoral area benefits from the event, not just Courtenay. “Even if half the people coming are from out of town, that’s still 5,000 people,” Jangula said. “It (MusicFest) is definitely the most significant thing crowdwise that probably happens on the Island.” MusicFest appealed to council for assistance through gaming funds but this year’s money had been allotted. “I think in years going forward from now that we should be looking at that,” said Jangula, who suggests
money from hotel room taxes could also help the festival. “I would be very in favour. I think they have a good cause. “There’s no doubt it is a big thing. It’s positive for our business, it’s positive for our community. If we can help, I think we should.” Cox feels it is a “welfare mentality” to fund only organizations or events that are struggling. “I think supporting excellence in the arts is always good for a community. Supporting cultural tourism events in this community that have a humongous spinoff financially for the local business sector has proven over and over again to be one of the main sources of

creating economy.” Over the next couple of years, MusicFest will work with the Comox Valley Economic Development Society to conduct economic impact studies.
But for Cox — who has invested 16 years into MusicFest — the bottom line is not money. “As a citizen and a father, it’s important to me that support of the
arts and culture here becomes real and significant from mission statements that are made by local government. “That in a way is more important than
how much we get, because that is going to set the ball rolling for how people manage and recognize cultural tourism and culture in the Comox Valley...we’re years behind in that.”

An RCAF Cormorant helicopter crew medivaced an injured man from a logging site near Holberg Monday afternoon, Aug.12. Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Victoria received the call for assistance from B.C. Ambulance after the middle-aged man was struck by a falling branch. Although BC Ambulance was able to evacuate the man from the logging site, it became apparent that he was in need of urgent care. With fog, low clouds and rain in the area, air controllers at JRCC called 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron and a Cormorant helicopter crew took off from their base at 19 Wing Comox. “We had bad weather most of the way,”
said Maj. Troy Maa, aircraft commander. “We were flying by instruments, but we were able to pick out a landing spot on a logging road where we met the ambulance.” Once on the ground, the crew loaded the

Some good news from VIA VIA Rails’ latest comment about restarting the old train service agreement for Island passenger rail is at least an encouraging sign, says Graham Bruce, CEO of the Island Corridor Foundation. “This is good news for Islanders wishing to once again use passenger rail,” Bruce said in a news release. “However, what is lost in the story is the fact that under the existing agreement, VIA has two significant issues to deal with before service can commence. One is the issue of a new Victoria station and the other is finding a train maintenance centre in the Victoria region.” Under the existing agreement, VIA is responsible for everything including stations, property insurance and taxes, rail cars, maintenance facilities, marketing, scheduling and liability insurance. It also provides an annual subsidy for the difference between revenues and operating expenses. Over the past 10 years the annual subsidy has ranged between a low of $973,000 and a high of $1,933,000. Because the Victoria station and rail car maintenance facilities no longer exist it is problematic for VIA to restart the existing agreement. The ICF is prepared to help solve those problems.

However, both issues are dealt with in a new comprehensive train service proposal put forth in April on behalf of the ICF by its train operator Southern Rail. VIA Rail has not responded to the proposal. The new proposal was drafted after an invitation by VIA to do so. A February letter from VIA to the president of Southern Rail suggested that “ICF/ SVI may want to consider an alternative plan whereby it would take over operation of the reinstated service.” Bruce said the comprehensive plan addresses all issues identified by VIA Rail. VIA also states that track repairs must be undertaken before passenger service can commence. The ICF has federal, provincial and regional government commitments of $18.2 million for rail infrastructure improvements contingent on a new train service agreement with

The public is invited to attend a meeting of the Cycling Public Advisory Committee in the Evergreen Lounge at 7 p.m. Aug. 22. The group is looking for ideas on cycling in the Comox Valley. Commuters, recreational cyclists, mountain bikers or anyone with thoughts on how to help make cycling safer and more enjoyable are welcome. CPAC advocates for cycling issues in the Comox Valley and makes recommendations to the Comox Valley Cycling Task Force and specific jurisdictions on regional cycling issues. They also communicate with the public on cycling issues, concerns and suggestions. The task force is comprised of members of local governments, working together to develop a comprehensive cycling strategy. Their goal is to improve cycling access in the Valley, both recreationally and for commuting, and to improve safe travel for the public and safe access to regional bikeways by communicating ideas to other elected officials. One topic will be recent transportation plans including the BC Transit plan for the Valley and the City of Courtenay’s Multimodal Transportation Plan. “We’ve seen some great language coming out of the city’s Transportation Plan to support more mobility options for people. CPAC is encouraged to hear that the public consultation revealed strong support for more cycling and walking,” says James Taylor, member of CPAC. “But we also know that plans take political will to implement. We look forward to continuing to work with the public, the Cycling Task Force and all public officials to help realize the vision of these forward thinking transportation plans.” Other items to be discussed include cycling issues for the new hospital, kids cycling to school, Fitzgerald Avenue cycling lane proposal, recent developments in Comox and the state of the Sixth

Hornby’s Ursula home and well, family holding book sale Last October, my wife Ceridwen Joy and I realized that our youngest daughter, year and a half old Ursula, was ill. And then every parent’s worst nightmare became true for us. A CT scan revealed a very large tumour growing in her cranium at the right side of her brain, pressing against her brainstem. She was immediately airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital for emergency brain surgery. We were informed that the tumour was impeding the flow of her cerebral spinal fluid, and that without immediate surgery, she would die. The twelve hour surgery was performed on Oct. 26 with a large team of surgeons and assistants working in relays. Thankfully the surgeons reported success; the tumour was almost completely removed. There were many complications, but the worst news was the result of the biopsy of the tumour - anaplastic ependymoma, World Heath Organization grade 3 – a very malignant and cancerous tumour. We were in for an extended hospital stay as Ursula received six gruelling rounds of intensive high-dosage chemotherapy. Our quiet life on Hornby Island with Ursula and her two older sisters was turned completely upside-down and had been suddenly transformed into a hectic and agonizing life in Vancouver. The amazing organization YANA (You Are Not Alone) gave us an apartment to use near the hospital, for which we are ever grateful. Without this, we don’t know how we would have managed. After the final chemo treatment, Ursula received a bone marrow transplant. Then, eight months later in late June, Ursula, who had had her second birthday in hospital in April, was finally discharged. After various out-patient testing was completed, we were at last able to return to our home on Hornby Island. Ursula is doing very well at present and considered to be in remission. Fortunately, her brain development has not been affected; and she has recently regained her ability to swallow and is eating normally again, something we weren’t sure we’d ever see. She is finally getting to be a

normal little girl again, playing with her sisters and enjoying the summer, although she will have to be constantly monitored for recurrence of the cancer. However, due to the chemo and bone marrow transplant she now has a severely compromised immune system, and while we were away for the entire winter, our Hornby home was visited by rats, dampness and mould. Consequently, we are now living in a professionally cleaned holiday rental trailer on our property while we thoroughly deepclean our house and attend to large-scale repairs and renovations in order to make the house habitable for a toddler with Ursula’s condition. I am a rare book
dealer by trade, but my business basically came to a halt the entire time we stayed in Vancouver to be at Ursula’s side. In order to raise funds for the renovations and living expenses that we now have, we will be holding a benefit book sale this weekend. We have over 400 boxes of older books in storage, close to 10,000 books - the old stock from
my long-ago bookshop in Vancouver, mixed with private collections purchased and unprocessed over the last 30 years. We have everything from mysteries to science fiction to literature to Canadiana to art books to pulps to vintage paperbacks to, you name it. We are pulling it all out of storage and having a giant fundraising book sale at the Hornby Island School Gym on Saturday, Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Books will cost $3 for hardcovers, $2 for trade paperbacks and $1 for paperbacks and kids books, and there will be some special books at special prices as well. This will be an amazing sale with large quantities of interesting books offered very cheaply, with the funds raised going to help pay for renovations to our home to make it safe for little Ursie to live with her family. Why not take a trip over to beautiful Hornby Island, enjoy the gorgeous island scenery, and take home a few books home with you? Donations will also
be gratefully accepted to the Ursula Joy Trust Fund at the Coastal Community Credit Unions in Courtenay, Campbell River and on Hornby
Island. We would like to take this opportunity to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, everyone who has helped us on this journey, with
donations of time and money and prayers and healing thoughts and energies and good wishes — Michael John Thompson
Did You Know. . .
Concussion is a Brain Injury? You don't have to have passed out to have suffered a concussion.
Some people will have obvious symptoms of a concussion, such as passing out or forgetting what happened right before the injury. Others will only experience brief gaps in memory or disorientation. Minor concussions can cause serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning or speech. Because of the small chance of permanent brain problems, it is important to get the right diagnosis and treatment. We can act on your behalf to get you the best medical specialist possible.

Golfers come up aces for ALS Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Several local golfers from three courses played a combined 1,266 holes — and chipped in a few thousand dollars for the ALS Society of BC. The participants were Jason Andrew, Rod Prieto, Evan Webber, Brook Petersen, Taylor Thibeault and Jayson Welsh of Crown Isle, Doug Petrie and Carmen Dewinter at Comox Golf Club, and Bill Kelly and Thomas and Pieter de la Rey of Glacier Greens. Their efforts were part of the PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS, which raised awareness and funds for ALS patients. Throughout June, players at 35 courses golfed as many holes as possible. Some began at dawn and did not stop until after dusk. The program has raised nearly $1 million since starting eight years ago at Glacier Greens. Back then, the pro was Scott Fraser, now a local realtor. “Scott decided to do it in support of a friend who was liv-

porter ever since,” she said. Comox Golf Club joined this year. With the community’s help, the three courses raised more than $3,500 for ALS patient services. Donations can still be made at the pro shops or at www.golfathonforals. ca.

Comox Valley Airport open during Comox Air Show The Comox Valley Airport will be open for business during the Comox Air Show but there is some important information that passengers need to know before travelling that weekend. The airport is advising anyone needing to access the airport during this time to visit YQQ’s website at: www.comoxairport. com for instructions on when to arrive for flights, how to get to the airport and how to access the terminal building. When to arrive for your flight: Passengers booked on flights departing on August 16, 17 or 18, may need to arrive
to the airport early. WestJet is advising passengers to check in for certain flights two hours prior to scheduled departure, while Central Mountain Air and Pacific Coastal are asking guests to arrive 1.5 hours early. “Some commercial aircraft will be parked in a different location and passengers will require bussing to get to their aircraft,” explained YQQ CEO Fred Bigelow. “To ensure flights depart on-schedule, airlines are asking their guests to arrive early to accommodate this extra step.” YQQ is recommending that all passengers visit www.comoxair-
port.com and follow to the recommended arrival time posted for their particular flight. Airlines will be denying boarding to those passengers who fail to arrive in time for their flight. How to get to the Airport: The airport is advising those needing to access the airport on the day of the Comox Air Show to expect delays of up to one hour between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (with peak congestion expected from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.) A special Airport Terminal access route via Ryan Road and Military Row has been designated to help
avoid traffic congestion from the Comox Air Show. Directions and a map are posted at www.comoxairport. com, along with a special YQQ Airport Access Pass available for download. It is recommended all passengers, guests and airport employees print this pass and display it on their windshield. Cars that have the pass displayed will not be stopped by traffic control personnel stationed at Anderton and Ryan Roads, making for a smoother journey to the airport. “We have worked with 19 Wing Comox to designate an access route to the airport ter-
minal that will allow our passengers and guests to bypass much of the Air Show spectator traffic,” explained Bigelow. “Along with allocating extra travel time in their schedules, we are strongly recommending that all passengers display the YQQ Airport Access Pass and follow the designated route along Ryan Road to avoid traffic delays.” How to access the terminal building: Main access to the Comox Valley Airport terminal on August 17
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. will be from Military Row. Follow the signs for the Airport Terminal and the entrance off Military Row will be clearly indicated. There will be no Comox Air Show spectator access available from the Comox Valley Airport terminal. “We have been working very closely with 19 Wing Comox and our airlines to ensure efficient access for passengers and guests going to/from the airport on the weekend of
the Comox Air Show,” concluded Bigelow. “We are asking passengers for their patience and understanding as we work to maintain our operations under these special circumstances.” For more information on travelling from the Comox Valley Airport during the weekend of the Comox Air Show please visit www. comoxairport.com.

Three Comox Valley cadets learning to glide this summer Cadets Jared Heavener and Daniel Watkins of Courtenay and Cadet Connor Ball of Comox are spending their summers at the Regional Gliding School (Pacific) on the Air Cadet Glider Pilot Scholarship Course. They are three of 44 Air Cadets selected from across British Columbia for the opportunity to pursue their Transport Canada Glider Pilot License. They are flying the Schweizer 2-33A gliders, which are owned by the BC Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada. When asked what receiving the Glider Pilot Scholarship meant to him, Ball said, “It’s a great start to a career I hope to pursue in aviation.” Watkins said, “Anyone can drive a car, lots of people can operate a boar, and some people can fly a plane. Try doing it without the engine.” Heavener said, “Glider is one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it is also the most rewarding
In British Columbia there are approximately 3,700 Air Cadets enrolled in 57 Squadrons. The BC Ministry

Comox, BC. They studied all aspects of aviation in order to pass an entrance exam, prior to sitting before a review board. Their school marks, cadet service, leadership and physical fitness are also evaluated as part of the selection process. At the conclusion of the intense six-week
training period, the successful students will receive their coveted Air Cadet Glider Pilot Wings on graduation day, August 15. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a national co-educational youth organization sponsored by the Canadian Forces in partnership with the civilian Air Cadet League of Canada.

mer squash are edible, including the flesh, seeds and skin. Unlike winter squash, summer squash are more fragile and cannot be stored for long periods of time unless frozen. When purchasing summer squash, look for ones that are heavy for their size and have shiny, unblemished rinds, and are of average size since those that are overly large
may be fibrous, while those that are overly small may be inferior in flavour. Summer squash is very fragile and should be handled with care as small punctures will lead to decay. It should be stored unwashed in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about seven days. — Comox Valley Farmers Market

Squash Fest at Farmers Market Summer squash are coming in by the bushel to the Farmers Market right now and local farmers are eager to share the bounty. This week the Comox Valley Farmers Market will host ‘Squash Fest’ in celebration of the abundant health promoting veggie. This is the fourth of the market’s year long series of ‘Food Fests’ and will feature tastings produced by As You Like It’s Laura Agnew, recipes, and activities for kids. Stasia Hasumi, the events’ coordinator, is excited about the occasion. “This month we are working in some activities for kids as well, market searches and squash identification, it’s a fun way to engage them with vegetables and include the whole family in the event,” she says. Summer squash come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The most common are patti pans, zucchini, yellow squash and crookneck squash. Health studies have shown several health benefits in summer squash varieties. They have been shown to

CARS LIKE THIS WILL be on display at Filberg Heritage Park this Sunday during the annual British-made cars and motor bikes show. Photo Submitted public is encouraged to come and enjoy a relaxed wander through the park and displays, featuring a rich collection of cars that were built during the last century, showing the distinctive designs from the
factories of, Jaguar, Morris, Austin, Landrover, Jensen Healy, Triumph, Lotus and Morgan, naming a few manufacturers. Many of the cars and bikes on display have been lovingly and faithfully restored to
better than new condition, while maintaining authenticity and sport collector license plates, indicating the vehicle is over 25 years old. Many of these vehicles have been found and rescued from forgotten storage buildings,
garages and farm fields, to name a few. Cars will be placed in two groups. One group is for show only and the other group for vehicles to be judged for their restoration and presentation. First place category will be
judged on meeting all 10 categories and Robert Kirk of Courtenay Car Centre, and member of the OECC will do the difficult job of judging. The public will be given a voter’s card and asked to pick their choice as the People’s Choice. The votes will count towards most popular in this category. One of the features of the day is a chance to win one of three rides in one of the cars. This has been a highlight of the car show and for all who have donated to Y.A.N.A., the charity of choice for Comox Valley OECC. This annual event is organized as a fundraiser for Y.A.N.A and your generous support will benefit this nonprofit society. Remax has donated their tent and it will be situated at the entrance of the park. A donation to Y.A.N.A. is not compulsory for attendance and enjoyment of the show. It is hoped that you will assist CV OECC in raising funds for this worthy cause. — Comox Valley Old English Car Club

Cambodia is located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is about onefifth the size of British Columbia and has a population of almost 15 million people. After years of war the Khmer Rouge took over in 1975. This regime devastated the country. About 2 million people were killed and many fled the country. The civil war and subsequent genocide markedly affected the Cambodian population; 50 per cent of the population is younger than 22 years old. An education has become a higher priority in Cambodia but because 80 per cent of the population is rural, poor children are often removed from school at an early age and their studies are incomplete.

Avoid summer disappointments Are your high expectations causing you and others grief? Over these summer months we want to pack so many activities into our already busy schedules. We want to fit in our work, social time with friends and spouse, chores, and the list goes on. When we aren’t able to meet our goals we can become easily frustrated with ourselves and others. “I’m not good enough” or “My work is not good enough” Sound familiar? High expectations tend to be unrealistic and can lead to a nagging sense of inadequacy. Instead of inspiring greatness, our goals are more likely to foster disappointment. These expectations set us up for a fall by assuming we all have super human capabilities and that life’s interruptions or limited time will never get in the way of our lofty plans. We live in a hypercompetitive culture. We’re encouraged by society, others and ourselves to be successful, win first place, have a high income and a big house. Don’t forget to
take care of all your tasks in the “right” way. Your productivity must soar and your home remain spotless. The meals you prepare must be healthy and nutritious while you make sure the needs of your dinner guests are always met. You don’t need to remove your ambition or lower your standards to be happy. You can meet your goals and foster a growth mindset simply by reframing your expectations. Take climbing a mountain for example. Instead of focusing on when you will reach the top choose to focus on the smaller steps you are taking towards your destination. Get excited and reward yourself for taking each step. Summer Challenge: This summer, if you find you give yourself impossible tasks to live up to, here is my challenge for you. Focus
AMY ENGLEMARK
on whether you gave a good effort rather than if you accomplished your task. If you didn’t make it to all the places you wanted to visit but you did manage to enjoy one or two get-aways, acknowledge yourself. Rather than focusing on the achievement of your goal try honing in on the lesson you learned or if you were able to make a useful contribution. If you didn’t get to see all of your friends but you did make time for some very dear ones, remind yourself of what really
matters to you. This week choose a personal expectation to reset. What’s a more realistic and joyful goal you could take on? Refocus on the journey rather than the destination. This will help you enjoy the process and live more in the present moment. Focus on what matters most to you and remind yourself that good enough is good enough. I understand! You want to ‘get things done’ while still having fun. Resetting your expectations will help you enjoy yourself fully this summer and still be proud of the work you accomplish. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed out let’s connect and chat over coffee. I’ll buy! Call 250-3348491. Amy Englemark is a self care expert, writer and speaker.

The Comox Valley Canadian Hard of Hearing Association (CV CHHA) members will be at the Air Show Saturday handing out free ear plugs donated by local businesses. The Comox Air Show draws thousands of people each year. Hearing loss from excessive noise is the main cause of this silent disability. If we can begin educating this group about this danger we will have saved hearing loss from this preventable tragedy. For example, Snow Birds = 85 decibels is ok, F-18’s = 115 decibels is a potential instantaneous hearing loss without protection. The non-profit CV CHHA would like to thank Midland Tools, Connect Hearing, Gordon Hearing Services, Costco, The Medicine Shoppe, London Drugs, Home Hardware and Slegg Comox for their donations. Watch for members of the Branch handing out ear plugs – they will be displaying the hard of hearing symbol. Watch for us at the Air Show Display section.

Fungal disease attacks vascular system of a plant Fusarium wilt. Nasty fungal disease that attacks the vascular system of a plant. Symptoms include leaf wilting and yellowing on the leaves. Some reference books call the disease ‘yellows.’ We think one of our cucumber plants was stricken with this disease although the leaves only showed wilting, no yellowing. The name of the pathogen that causes this wilt is Fusarium oxysporum. There are more than 100 species divisions of this pathogen that attacks specific host plants. For instance, the fusarium wilt fungus that affects cucumbers is called Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (the f. sp.
Duchess of Dirt
Leslie Cox stand for forma specialis). Other strains target tomatoes, sweet potatoes, melons, squashes, pumpkins, bananas, cabbage, a host of ornamental plants...the list goes on. Fusarium oxysporum attacks plants when soil and air temperatures are between 24 and 32 degrees Celsius for a period of time such as what we have been experiencing this summer. And once this disease is loose in the soil, it is difficult to get rid
of...if ever. Needless to say, we are a little concerned. However, we may be OK since none of the other six cucumber plants are showing any signs of wilting. Our fingers are crossed that we perhaps misdiagnosed the problem. I am fairly certain we would have seen some sign by now if the others were to catch the disease. Fusarium wilt works fast, killing the plant off in three to five days. Close down the food channels of a plant and it is definitely not long for this world. So...if our cucumber did not have fusarium wilt why were the leaves wilting? Well... there is a crown and root fusarium wilt dis-

poor condition when we yanked it out. Only had a spread of about four or five inches and they should have been over a foot at this stage of their growth. Wilting from inadequate water should not have been a factor as we have a soaker
hose in the cucumber bed set on a timer. All of the plants have been getting regular water. My big mistake was I did not look at the cut stem to check the condition of the vascular system. If it was showing signs of discoloration, this would have definitively told us we had fusarium wilt. But I was too busy holding the garbage bag for John and trying to keep the leaves away from neighboring cucumber plants. So...we will never know for sure what was wrong with our sick cucumber plant. Rather than take chances of losing the whole crop, we jumped on the problem plant quickly. Better to lose
just one. Still on a bit of a sour note...an update on Rudbeckia hirta ‘Cherry Brandy,’ the new burgundy-maroon-redflowered gloriosa daisy. A new acquisition to John’s garden this year, it has been an absolute stunner, despite the heat. We love it. But I have recently discovered it is actually a half-hardy annual, not a perennial. If the label had mentioned hirta, I would have clued in as these are typically short-lived. Leslie Cox co-owns Growing Concern Cottage Garden in Black Creek.

THIS MORNING, JUST before
7:30, I awoke to the horrid sound of a car crash. That gut wrenching sound that involuntarily provokes a prayer. The accident happened at the intersection of Marsden Road and Lake Trail. I didn’t see anything but I think I have an idea what happened. Another collision occurred there not even a month ago. People, unfamiliar with the area, come travelling down that long, straight stretch of Marsden. Mesmerized by the beautiful vista of the glacier, they just don’t see the stop sign at Lake Trail. I know they should see it, it’s there. But some drivers don’t.
Ideally I would like to see a speed bump on Marsden Road, just before the stop sign. I think that would wake up distracted drivers and bring their attention to what’s up ahead. A fourway stop sign, even. A few years ago there was a fatality in that intersection; so much pain for all concerned. Something must be done. I vote for the speed bump. •••
SO THIS IS a big beef to the Comox
Valley Regional District in regards to the transit system or lack thereof. I am very pleased to see the bus service working past 9 p.m. except the Handidart. Don’t get me wrong — I am glad to see these extra runs for Cumberland Days, for Goose Spit, etc., but why does the Handidart not go into service especially for patients with life-threatening medical conditions on stat holidays but the normal transit

No taxis or Wheels for Wellness are equipped so those patients cannot get their life saving requirement. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, you can get Handidart to take them out as long as it isn’t before 8 a.m. (morning dialysis starts before that). Or, you can be picked up to go home before 4 p.m. but after that you are out of luck as dialysis patients are later. Once you are on dialysis you are on it for your duration, it’s not something they just roll the dice on which days they want it done, if you don’t take your day well lets just say the alternative, is not pleasant. This service needs to be fine tuned — why is it not available as it is in other centres? We have all these walks for the cure, which I wish would happen but maybe the money would be better spent giving it to look after the existing problem. Please help these patients by sending letters to your MLA and the Regional District and if not that, take part in the walk. •••
A THANK YOU: To the staff at the
Rialto Theatre in Courtenay for finding my grandson’s jacket complete with his wallet and phone all intact. It was a great relief to my grandson Marcus as he is on holidays in the Valley for nine days from Wainwright, Alberta and it was just the beginning of his stay. Thanks to all those involved in finding it. •••
I RECENTLY FOUND out that the provincial government gives Pidcock
House $500,000 annually to provide emergency shelter for the homeless. God Bless the Salvation Army, who run the place. If it weren’t for them, the local homeless population would be a worse off. However, $500,000 is a lot of money and could be put to better use providing a permanent solution to our affordable housing shortage. I’m guessing this sum of money could be used to build homes for at least 10 people. Multiply this by the number of years this grant is provided, and we could virtually eliminate homelessness in the Comox Valley. Likewise, there is the $17,000, and the countless volunteer hours, and the taxpayer-funded city hall staff hours provided to look into building a wooden bridge next door to the steel one we already have. If half the political will put towards the “bridge to nowhere” was re-channeled into low income housing, everybody would have a warm place to sleep in short order. This shameful situation has dragged on far too long. In my opinion our elected officials and city employees shouldn’t be putting any funding or energy into “extras” until all the essentials have been provided for every woman, man, and child who lives here. That means food, clothing, washing facilities, and a safe place to sleep and put their belongings. There is no excuse not to do this as obviously there is enough money out there to solve the problem. I hope everybody who reads the Record remembers this on election day and gets out to vote.
brought them in to the local detachment in case the owners reported them missing or stolen. Anything unclaimed went back to the finder.
I wondering about this because, on the evening of July 23, I found a large duffel bag filled with personal effects in a shopping cart. It looked like everything that a homeless person owned and had been left in front of Chad’s West Coast Grill. Perhaps the owner had had an accident and had been taken to the hospital. Maybe he had had a psychotic incident where he forgot about his things. Whatever happened, the items in the duffel bag were probably just about everything he owned, and valuable to him. For this reason, after I got home, I reported it to the local RCMP.
The phone call I got back from one of the RCMP was disappointing. First of all, between the time I saw the shopping cart, and the time the RCMP got there, someone had rifled through the duffel bag and all that was left was the bag and a pair of boots. (Not the RCMP’s fault, since I didn’t get to a phone until two hours after I saw the bag. However, this does prove that even the homeless are victims of theft.) Secondly, the police officer told me it wasn’t their policy to keep items that had been “abandoned” by their owners. My final question is, is this policy consistent for everything of value that the public reports found, or just for anything that happens to belong to a homeless person? •••
•••
WHAT EXACTLY Is the local RCMP policy around valuable items found by the public and reported or brought into the detachment? Not so long ago, they collected found and stolen bicycles for the owners to come in and pick up. Any bikes that were unclaimed were sold to the public at the RCMP bike auction. Likewise, if people found money or valuable objects they

But come October, what’s there to do? October is Small Business Month in BC and, in addition to hosting a number of networking and educational events (see below), the Chamber of Commerce is launching ‘I SPY Comox Valley.’ This month-long shop local initiative will engage several corporate sponsors and 30 local businesses as part of a Valley-wide scavenger hunt. The public is invited to get involved
with the I SPY promotion by visiting participating sponsors to look for clues and enter to win a number of great prize packs. In addition to being listed on our website and promoted on Facebook, Twitter and mainstream media, I SPY stores will have signage of ‘Ty the I SPY Guy’ and feature I SPY specials. The purpose of this campaign is to engage the community in discovering new businesses, rediscovering established businesses they may not have visited in a while, and showing support of the local economy. Learn more about ‘I SPY Comox Valley’ in next month’s Connections column, as well as on our website and Facebook pages. Chamber members interested in participating should contact our office as soon as possible. In the meantime, have fun at more Valley events in the coming weeks and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Steady market growth continues Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sales summary data for July released by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board shows housing sales activity across Vancouver Island was up 12 per cent compared to last year, while average sale prices remained relatively stable. The average price of a single family home sold within the VIREB region in July 2013 was $333,056, which is comparable to the $334,530 average sale price recorded in July 2012. There was also a 12 per cent increase in unit sales for July 2013, where 433 units were recorded, in comparison to July 2012, when 385 single family homes sold. At the end of July 2013 there were 2,945 single family homes
available on the MLS within VIREB’s coverage area, down from the 3,317 homes in the system at the end of July 2012. In terms of unit sales year-to-year, there continued to be large variances among different areas: Campbell River witnessed huge growth, reporting an 87 per cent increase; Comox Valley unit sales increased by 12 per cent; Nanaimo sales dipped one per cent; Parksville/Qualicum sales rose two per cent; Cowichan Valley saw a 25 per cent increase, and sales for Port Alberni/West Coast remained virtually unchanged from last year. “There are a number of projects underway in the Campbell River area, and it seems this construction activity is

directly contributing to the growth in their housing market,” said VIREB president Gary Gray “This is a good example of what economic drivers can do to the market.” Cameron Muir, chief economist for the British Columbia Real Estate Association, felt the statistics were encouraging. “The upward trajectory of sales show that demand is starting to come back,” Muir said. “Home sales are up year-over-year, and flat pricing continues to indicate a balanced market condition.” Comparing July 2013 to July 2012, the average sale prices across VIREB’s six geographic areas
saw: Campbell River remain virtually unchanged with average sales price listed at $296,789; Comox Valley up one per cent to $347,954; Nanaimo also went up one per cent to $362,918; Parksville/Qualicum prices remained relatively unchanged at $376,060; Port Alberni/ West Coast increased by nine per cent to $250,910, while the Cowichan Valley was down two per cent to $327,410.

Q: What can I afford to pay monthly for a house? A:
A simple way to estimate what you can afford each month involves your Gross Debt Service Ratio. Don’t worry, it’s simpler than it sounds.
This rule of thumb states that what you pay each month for the principle and interest of your mortgage, property taxes, and utilities should not exceed 32 per cent of your gross income. In other words, based on a combined gross income of $85,000, you should pay no more than $2,267 per month on the above houserelated items ($85,000 x 0.32 / 12 months = $2,267). If you have other financial obligations, such as regular lease payments for a new car, you may want to go a step further and calculate your Total Debt Service Ratio. In this case, you would do exactly what you did in the preceding calculation, except you would also include all of your monthly debts. Your new calculation should not exceed 40 per cent of your combined gross annual income. While these general rules can help give you an idea of what you can afford, they should not be considered infallible. After all, they are merely guidelines. Perhaps the best advice is – be realistic about what you earn and what you spend. If you are realistic, you’ll be more comfortable with what you can afford.

The high ground? Actor George Takei has started a petition to have the Sochi Olympic Games moved from Russia to Canada. U.S. President Barack Obama has cancelled a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. While Obama’s reasons for cancelling the summit are many, one of them is Russia’s crackdown on civil rights … namely new laws that almost make homosexuality a crime. Takei, a well-known gay rights activist, has that as a specific reason for wanting the Olympics moved from that country. Foreign Affairs Minister has John Baird denounced Russia’s controversial new anti-gay law as hateful. Kudos to Baird, Takei and Obama for taking a stand. It’s time, however, that the International Olympic Committee took a stand. Too often the powers-that-be hold their nose and look the other way when dealing with countries rife with human rights abuses. Or, they rationalize that in doing business with such countries, the abusers will see the folly of their ways and change. That simply doesn’t happen. When it comes to the Olympics, the IOC is the first to tout itself as a worldwide organization touting inclusiveness, etc. In fact, the second principle stated in the Olympic Charter reads: “The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.” “As a sporting organization, what we can do is to continue to work to ensure that the Games can take place without discrimination against athletes, officials, spectators and the media. To that end, the IOC has received assurances from the highest level of government in Russia that the legislation will not affect those attending or taking part in the Games.” In other words, hold your nose and dive right in. — Prince George Free Press

Conservative cuts must be reconsidered Dear editor, When the job market is still recovering, we should be working to ensure that more Canadians have a roof over their head. Yet the Conservative government is moving in the complete opposite direction: they are reducing federal support for affordable housing for the most vulnerable Canadians. The instability in people’s lives that comes from homelessness has a tremendous cost on the rest of society. It makes it harder to rejoin the labour force, and causes declines in physical and mental health. For taxpayers, the costs of emergency services and shelters for the homeless are more expensive than providing them a place to live. An estimated 150,000 to 300,000 Canadians are home-
less, and many more can’t afford housing with enough bedrooms for their family. It’s a major problem that strikes at the core of what our country stands for. Yet the Conservative government is phasing out federal support for affordable housing in co-operatives that put the cost of housing within reach of lowincome Canadians. In British Columbia alone, 2,857 households go to bed each night wondering where they will live when the government cuts
off funding. That’s not right. The federal government should be at the table with cities, provinces, churches and others who are trying to address the challenge of homelessness. Investing in affordable housing will help the most at-risk Canadians live healthy lives and contribute to the economy. Everyone else gets it. Let’s hope the Conservatives will too.

Socalism bail-out? Dear editor, I have to respond to Mr. Delbert Doll’s recent letter to the editor in trying to label Mr. Cliff Boldt as an “alarmist.” After reading Mr. Doll’s letter it seems that he hasn’t actually read the Conservative 2013 Economic Action Plan book. I have. On pages 144 and 145 I read and see what Mr. Boldt wrote. What has me concerned about the “bailin” legislation is there is no language about the responsibilities and accountabilities of the banks’ managers
and officers. Mr. Doll also alludes to the federally-backed depositors’ insurance. That only happens if and when the bank fails. If the bank does not fail because of the Cyrpus-style of “bail-in” then the federal insurance doesn’t apply. I wonder if Mr. Doll is aware of the fact that the federal government gave $114 billion to the five Canadian chartered banks four days before the 2009 Federal election? It was: $17 billion to BMO $21 billion to CIBC, $25 billion
to RBC, $25 billion to Scotiabank and $26 billion to TD. This bank “bail-out” wasn’t a secret; it just wasn’t fully reported. No wonder other countries’ banks envy our Canadian banking system. Mr. Ralph Nader said it all in a nutshell: “Capitalism will never fail because socialism will bail it out.” Reading and remembering Mr. Doll’s past letters to the editor, I and others know how he abhors socialism.

Case of the Courtenay catnapper A LETTER WRITER believes it’s only a mater of time until a cyclist will be hurt or killed on the roads, bike lanes or not. FILE PHOTO
Comox cyclists condemned Dear editor, Thank you Mr. Minard — you are one of few in the Valley to really voice your disdain of the cyclists here in “lotus land.” I have been complaining for years to anyone who would listen, including Comox town council, and to no avail. Cyclists are not the only ones to be criticized; the skateboarders and rollerbladers are no angels, but the cyclists are by far the worst offenders. Let’s start with the helmet issue; many young cyclists do not wear proper head protection. Maybe it would mess their hair. There is a law requiring cyclists to wear a helmet, but no enforcement. Maybe the law is to protect local government from lawsuits. The sidewalks in Comox are not safe for pedestrians. Cyclists,
COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Thursday August 15, 2013
boarders, and rollerbladers go screaming around on the sidewalks and it scares the heck out of nonsuspecting users of the sidewalks. They are walkways, not race tracks. And they will ride twoabreast and expect pedestrians to give way to them. I have gotten the finger several times for telling them to get off the sidewalk. If you are too afraid to ride on the roadway, then leave your bike at home. There seems to be a big drive and political brownie-point drive to create bicycle lanes everywhere. I’m in favour if only the cyclists would use them. I also think that if we are to spend a lot of money on these lanes, cyclists should pay to use the roads just the same as motorists pay to use
them. Licence bike riders and require liability insurance. Motorists have enough to be concerned about; they do not need to have to worry about a cyclist screaming through the intersection or crosswalk in front of them. They continually come up your right hand side, even when you are signalling a right turn. I get a kick out of these cyclists that are all decked out in their Spandex, riding boots, gloves and glasses, on their expensive machines, and then they proceed to make damn fools of themselves by irresponsible actions at intersections and crosswalks. Ride single file on the roads — cars do. Parents of small children, why do you have to bring your precious kids downtown in the busy traffic on their training
bikes? Do you not think they might be a tad terrified of riding on Comox Avenue during busy times? Teach them to ride on the quieter residential streets, please. Teach them proper and responsible riding; god knows they will pick up all of the bad habits down the road. It is time that someone in government grab on to this problem and find a workable solution. Someone is going to get hurt or killed in Comox if nothing is done. Can we wait until this happens? No. One of the groups in the Valley could earn some praise with an educational program for cyclists. Skateboarders and rollerbladers are another issue I will not address in this letter. Carl Munn Comox
Dear editor, What’s happening to our furry friends? People of Courtenay, I have noticed after years of confusion, I solved the mystery of the disappearing cats.
A catnapper! After my cat was catnapped, I have been furious. I have searched and searched but never ever found him, and now I see missing posters for cats all the
time. And that is why I think that a catnapper is loose. Hannah L., Courtenay Editor’s note: Hannah L. is a 10-year-old cat lover.

Nothing better to do? Behind the Wheel

Schewe mal. The result in both cases is an increased risk of collision. Spending any amount of time in traffic law enforcement soon teaches you that what drivers often consider to be a trivial violation will eventually result in some horrendous consequences. You experience this directly with every serious collision that you are called on to investigate. There is no doubt in my mind that this experience caused me to write a ticket when
the driver was expecting a warning. My job was to change the behaviour of the motoring public to conform to the traffic rules. I used many tools to attempt this including a website, newspaper articles, radio spots, group talks and yes, warnings and tickets. After this if you still chose to go your own way then my response to this query should be “No, I’ve already tried by other means and haven’t gotten through to you. Sign here please.” Tim Schewe is a retired RCMP constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. His column appears Thursdays.

“Haven’t you got anything better to do?” This was a question that I was asked often during my service as a constable in traffic law enforcement. I’m sure some of the drivers were just trying to needle me a bit in return for the ticket but most of them appeared to feel that sliding through a stop sign or doing a few kilometres per hour over the speed limit was trivial and should be ignored. When you disobey the traffic rules over and over again and nothing bad happens it is easy to believe that there is no risk in those actions. If there is no risk then it is acceptable behaviour and may be considered nor-

Earlier this year, Comox Valley Crime Stoppers received a grant of $5,000 from the Civil Forfeiture Office in partnership with the Victim Services and Crime Prevention division of the provincial Ministry of Justice.
It is looking to use the funds to reach out to younger members of the community and encourage them to report harm experience or witnessed if they are unable or reluctant to report it directly to school officials or the police. It can break any misconceptions that Crime Stop-
pers operates as a ‘rat line’ rather than anonymous way for people to create a safer community. The Comox Valley Crime Stoppers will have an information booth set up at the Comox Air Show on Aug.17. and will feature a break and enter map for the local area and offer Ident-A-Kid, a

ASH GRUNWALD PERFORMS at the Waverley Aug. 24
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Australian indie rocker includes Valley on tour Australian indie rocker Ash Grunwald is touring B.C. to support his loudrock collaboration with The Living End. With his hard-driving forays into psychedelic blues-rock and electronica, multi-award-winning Australian indie Ash Grunwald has been credited with single-handedly revitalizing his country’s roots and blues scene. Now the dreadlocked, hip-hop-influenced bluesrocker is returning to B.C. to launch Gargantua, a blistering hard-rock collaboration with Scott Owen and Andy Strachan of the punk-psychobilly outfit The Living End. The tour marks Ash’s
first summertime appearance in his Canadian home base. This after a series of winter tours in which the expert surfer and snowboarder spent days off heli-boarding and days on winning over music fans in resort towns with his hardedged sound – marked by elements of James Brown-style soul and Jimi Hendrix-style blues rock, updated with driving junk percussion and distortion. The new album came about after Ash teamed up with Living End’s Scott and Andy for a scorching cover of Gnarles Barclay’s Crazy, which became an unexpected hit in Australia. The chemistry was so fantastic they decided to make

an album of it, so the trio spent six days in St. Kilda’s Hothouse Studios giving birth to the rock monster Gargantua. The two new originals on the album lead off with The Last Stand, which pairs Ash’s trademark swampy rhythms and growling vocals with a lyric condemning the horrific health effects of coal seam gas mining in South Western Queensland. “They ain’t gonna sell us out without a fight if I’m the last man,” screams Ash on his auspicious first outing as a musical activist. The album also includes several searing remakes of favourite Ash tracks including Raw – which, in the

hands of the End, takes on a full-on Rage-Againstthe Machine-like ferocity – and Walking, whose driving intensity is turned up to 11 by the explosive rhythm section. In addition, there are two more covers, including a pounding rendition of Howlin’ Wolf’s Smokestack Lightning. A passionate collaborator whose last album featured dub step producer Fingers Malone, Countbounce from the Australian Music Prize-nominated hip hop act TZU, and the entire cast of the Aussie hip hop ensemble Funkoars, Ash has earned five ARIA nominations (Australia’s Juno), two Australasian
Performing Rights Association Awards, three Victoria Blues Awards, and two Tasmania Blues Awards for his nine previous albums. His 2007 release, Give Signs, won the Best Independent Blues and Roots Album Prize from the Australian Independent Record Label’s Association. Ash was named 2003 Blues Performer of the Year by the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society, earning him the opportunity to compete in the 2004 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. There, he reached the finals and was given the opportunity to perform on FOX Television’s Good Morning Memphis. His entire trip was
documented by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Ash has opened for Brown, Bo Diddley and the Black Keys, toured with Jack Johnson and played the Montreux Jazz Festival. The original version of Ash’s song Walking was featured on the soundtrack to the movie Limitless, featuring Robert De Niro. The original version of Breakout was featured in promo for the film Moneyball. Grunwald performs Aug. 24 at the Waverley Hotel in Cumberland. Doors open at 9:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $12, available at Bop City Records, The Wave or by phone at 250 336-8322.

Potters Place show features 100 unique mugs and cups
Maggie Shaw has been a member of the Potters Place for many years. Though her pots have changed over the years, and new glazes and shapes have been introduced, it was the thought of being a featured artist this month that put Maggie into overdrive. She tested and played and created so many wonderful pots in her studio specifically for her stint as ‘the one with the window display.’ You won’t want to miss this remarkable showing of 100 unique mugs and cups. Maggie shows how many voices there are when talking clay. “When I was first approached to be the featured artist in August at the Potters Place, I really wanted to step outside the box and do something different,” she says. “One of the most popular pieces of pottery is an item that can be cradled in your hands — the mug! “I wanted to go with a theme and what could be more perfect
than a mug — so I set a goal for myself to make 100 mugs using different techniques in decorating and using different glazes. “Well, I sure cut out a challenge for myself but I found if I hadn’t set this goal I might never have tried new and exciting ways to decorate pots. “Great techniques such as Mishima, incising, fluting, agateware, carving, image transfer, watercolour, majolica, coloured slips, mocha diffusion, and many more. I achieved my goal of 100 mugs and loved every minute of the challenge! “Now I’m ready to take these techniques and use them on the rest of my work — great exciting times ahead for me in my studio.” It’s worth a trip into the gallery to see Maggie’s work and to share in the excitement for this great show. She will be featured throughout August at Potters Place at the corner of Fifth and Cliffe at the Potters Courtyard, in the cultural heart of down-

Legion hosts Diamond tribute An evening of art, dance His voice may not be what it used to be, but Neil Diamond can still sell out concerts and provoke girlish screams from the audience. His charisma was — and still is — legendary. Joey Purpura has lived and breathed Neil Diamond since 2004, travelled across the country and parts of the Caribbean with his tribute show Diamond in the Rough. “I’ve always been able to do voices, as long as I could remember,” said the 39-yearold. “When I found out I could do a pretty good Neil Diamond, my friends encouraged me to go on stage.” The singer wasn’t on Purpura’s radar growing up, so he started from the ground up. In 2002, the Toronto-based impersonator began researching the singer’s life, studying his every move, song and story behind the music. He found a Las Vegas-based designer able to replicate Diamond’s glittery costumes of the mid-70s. “I wanted to research his life because I not only sing his songs, I tell a story and highlight his life just to make it more interesting,” said Purpura. He searched for little known facts about the singer. For instance, Diamond grew up in the same neighbourhood as Barbara Streisand. They went to the same school and sang in the same choir. Purpura also discovered Diamond was a pre-med student, and was six months and 10 credits short of a premed degree when he abandoned his studies to pursue music. “He recorded and released a lot of albums and so he has a huge backlog of music,” Purpura said about the singer’s international appeal. “And he contin-

Play casts women on far side of 60 Lise Broadley Contributor
In live theatre, women of a certain age are often overlooked, delegated to small roles or asked to play caricatures rather than characters of any real depth. It’s a problem not only for actors, but for audiences as well, because they miss out on the richness many older women can bring to the stage. Comox Valley firsttime playwright JS Hill is working to change that with When I’m 64, a play with six women, all in their mid-60s, each going through her own transition. The play is made up of a series of monologues; the audience is invited to share in the experience as each of the characters explores her life and the decisions that lie ahead. “My hope was to make a contribution to the canon of theatre pieces that give mature, talented actresses a challenging and meaty role to sink their teeth into,� said Hill. Those roles include a breast cancer survivor, a woman living on the streets, a daughter clearing out her late father’s possessions and a wife awakening to a new sexuality. “It’s that question, as we mature – who we want to be, who we want to live our lives with. There is something particular about 64. More than half of your life is behind you,� said Hill. Though none of the characters are based on actual women, aspects of them are inspired by women from the Comox Valley, where the play is based. “They are all women I like; they are all women I admire,� said Hill. “As a writer I’ve really enjoyed their

PHOTO BY TERRY PENNEY company.� Lynn Hodge, who appears in and directs the upcoming production, said Hill has created characters with whom the audience, and the actors, can relate. “To me it really is about the story. It could be your mom, your best friend, your sister,� she said. “Playwright JS Hill writes with sensitivity and care as the characters’ stories are unraveled. Filled with both laughter and poignancy, this play will immediately touch your heart when you listen to Joan as she shares with her daughter or when Sonja takes a first step back into the dating world.� Hodge and the other women appearing in the play – Sharon Pridham, Darilyn Keene, Jennifer Moses, Val Macdonald, Vivien Douglas, and Sara Zubiak – worked with Hill through numerous readings and rewritings to create the characters. Originally envisioned as a play about the (mis)adventures of Internet dating, the play unfolded

Hodge said that while six actors are in When I’m 64, there were plenty more from the Comox Valley who expressed interest in participating. “We are sharing these wonderful, heartfelt slices of life,� she said. “As actors, we are so excited to be portraying these strong women.� When I’m 64 isn’t just for women, Hodge added – many men will also enjoy it, and they may even recognize shades of their own loved ones in the characters. When I’m 64 debuts Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Shakespeare by the Sea at Clover Point Park in Victoria.
Presented by:
Hill was invited by Robert Light, Shakespeare by the Sea director, who has donated his theatre for the reading. “This is artists helping artists — our way of giving back to the community,� Light said. Admission is free or by donation. For its debut, When
I’m 64 is being presented as a reading, with minimal props and a focus on the characters – and that’s just the way the playwright wants it. “Everybody has a unique story,� said Hill. “But sometimes our elders’ stories go untold or are not listened to. This play honours our story.�

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!

Former Wild goalie going to boxla nationals Earle Couper Record Staff
A keen eye. Quick reflexes. Nerves of steel. Those are key qualities a lacrosse goalie needs to stop a solid rubber ball travelling 130 km/h. And those are qualities Tristan McLoughlin has brought to the game since he first stepped on to the boxla arena floor. The former Comox Valley Wild stand-out has been selected by Team Manitoba to backstop them at the 2013 Founders Cup tournament, the Canadian Junior B Lacrosse Championship that runs Aug. 18-25 in Winnipeg. The 18-year-old is coming off a strong season with the Winnipeg Junior Shamrocks of the Red River Lacrosse Association. “My team had an 8-3-1 record, good enough for second place in Manitoba,” McLoughlin said. “I played all 12 games, and my team finished the regular season with the second lowest goals against (12 less than the next team). In playoffs we made it to the semifinals, but lost 8-5 to the first place team, and eventual playoff champions, Winnipeg Gryphons. However we were outshot 65-23 in that game,” McLoughlin noted. His ability to keep his team in the game even when they are outshot by a large margin did not go unnoticed. “I got invited to try out for Team Manitoba after an 11-5 win over the Winnipeg Falcons in our second playoff game. We were outshot 64-32.” While the Founders Cup
will be the highlight of his lacrosse career so far, McLoughlin has many fond memories of his time with the Wild. “My first year of lacrosse ever I played PeeWee C. My team went 16-0,

I got seven shutouts, and we got bronze in provincials. “I think the thing I miss the most though were all the tournaments we went to. There are no tournaments in Winnipeg, besides the Founders Cup. I really miss hanging out with the boys after games,” McLoughlin said. “My favourite memory was when one of my teammates got his hands on some Pop Rocks and we dropped them from our hotel balcony and they landed on a security guard’s head. Let’s just say I didn’t have much sleep after that!” McLoughlin played goal for the Comox Valley Wild under coaches Chief Rob Everson of the Komók’s First Nation, Brian Norman and Peter Parke.

Locals boost B.C. at rugby nationals Record Staff
NOLAN WIRTH HAS been selected to Canada’s U-18 team for the 2013 COTIF U-20 Tournament in Spain.
Wirth going to Spain Record Staff
Nolan Wirth continues to keep select company. The Canadian Soccer Association announced Wednesday that seven Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency players have been called up to Canada’s men’s U-18 national team for the upcoming 2013 COTIF U-20 Tournament taking place from Aug. 11 to 21 in l’Alcúdia, Spain. Among those named to the 20-man roster were goalkeeper Wirth, who honed his soccer skills in the Comox Valley. He is also a former member of the BC Soccer Provincial Development program and the National Training Centre. In July, Wirth was with the Vancouver Whitecaps U17/18 squad that placed sixth at the U.S. Soccer Development Academy playoffs in Texas. The team opened with a 3-1 win over Seattle, lost 1-0 to eventual tourney winner New York Red Bulls, held Albertson FC to a scoreless draw, then lost 1-0 to Missouri in the match for fifth place. In Spain, U-18 head coach Rob Gale will lead his side into the tournament against Japan, Argentina, Bulgaria and Belarus during the group stage. “This high level of competition is going to be ideal for our boys,” said Gale ahead of the team’s departure for Europe. “The overarching
goal here is preparing this group of players for the next cycle of FIFA U-20 World Cup qualifiers and this is the type of opposition we need to prove we can compete against,” Gale said on the Whitecaps’ website. As has been a continuing theme for Canada’s youth program under the stewardship of technical director Tony Fonseca, Gale will ask his U-18s to continue to express themselves as creative footballers – even against some of the best youth sides in the world. “We want to go into this tournament in
a way that will continue to see us play the attacking brand of football we preach throughout our youth system,” said Gale. Gale has selected a diverse group of players with talent being brought in from clubs across five countries. “What’s promising is that there is an increasingly larger number of players playing day-in and day-out in professional environments,” said Gale. “We will continue to offer opportunities to the players that are challenging themselves by fighting for professional contracts.”

Comox Valley rugby talent was on the national stage this past weekend at the National Championships Festival in Vancouver. BC U16 coach Ken Erickson (G.P. Vanier) guided his boys squad to a convincing 50-0 win over Ontario on Sunday. B.C. went undefeated at the five-day tourney, posting three shutouts and conceding only 13 points over their six games. “We had a really bright group of guys who weren’t afraid to make mistakes,” said Erikson after leading the program to back-toback titles. “The development with this squad has been exceptional and they all played for each other. I was impressed with their conduct both on and off the field and this was a hard working group who really put in the hours over the last five weeks.” B.C. beat B.C.-2 43-7, Newfoundland 75-0, Alberta 12-0, Ontario-2 60-3, Alberta 25-3 and Ontario-1 50-0. Meanwhile the BC U18 teams with Foster DeWitt (G.P. Vanier) on BC-1 and Braydon Williams on BC-2, finished runners-up in their divisions. BC-1 was denied a third straight national title by Ontario, who won the Cup Final

29-21 Sunday. In the U18 Plate Final, the TrueBlue BC U17 side suffered their only loss of the tournament when they fell 26-7 to Ontario. The loss was just the second of the year for the new program that has been preparing a new crop of players for Nationals since trials back in early June and a run in the U18 BC Rugby Provincial Regional Championships in July. No.8 Nick Allen scored the lone try for B.C. in the final as they were unable to produce the high-octane offence that had seen them notch 40-plus point wins through the pool rounds at Nationals. BC-1 beat Newfoundland 36-10, lost 15-13 to Ontario, beat Alberta 54-10 and 14-0, then lost again to Ontario in the final. BC-2 beat Saskatchewan 40-0, New Brunswick 40-7, Nova Scotia 45-3 and Newfoundland 20-12 before falling to Ontario in the final.

Volkers sailing at national regatta Local Comox Valley Sea Cadet off to Kingston, Ont.
Local Comox Valley Sea Cadet MS Chris Volkers (skipper) and his teammate PO Stewart Clark (crew) from Victoria are part of the B.C. team of eight cadets competing in the National Sea Cadet Regatta in Kingston, Ont. from Aug. 18-23. The national regatta is an event held annually where a total of 25 teams of the best sailors from each region across Canada compete in a minimum of 12 races over four days. They’ll be sailing Club 420 boats, rigged with spinnaker and trapeze competing on a modified Olympic triangle course. The regatta tests both their seamanship and strategic skills as well as their physical endurance. It’s the culmination of years of training provided in part by the Sea Cadet program. The road to Nationals was not an easy journey. Volkers and Clark competed in the Provincial qualifying regatta last October (20 teams) where they were selected as one of the 10 teams. Volkers was scored individually as one of the top 20 sailors. He and Clark then advanced to the National qualifying regatta last Easter
in the province. Youth interested in learning to sail as part of sea cadet activities are invited to attend 189 Port Augusta’s registration night, Tuesday, Sept. 3 at 6 p.m. The corps is located on HMCS Quadra, Goose Spit, Building 46A. There is no cost to join RCSCC 189 Port Augusta. To learn more about the Comox Valley Sea Cadets, visit www.189portaugusta. ca. – Comox Valley Sea Cadets

At the spring qualifier, the team finished first overall. As one of the top four teams in the Pacific Region, they qualified to compete in this weekend’s national regatta. Volkers won a silver medal at the 2012 national regatta. Volkers and Clark are spending the summer at the HMCS Quadra Cadet Summer Training Centre, where along with regular course training
they are able to practise and prepare for the national regatta in Comox Valley waters. When asked about his sailing success, Volkers calmly states, “I’m just doing what I love...being out on the water.” Volkers has competed in both the Spring and Fall Dinghy Championships at Royal Victoria Yacht Club, taken part in the
CYA Youth National Championships (Under 19) in Gimli, MB in 2012, and this past June crewed in the prestigious Black Press Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race. Twelve hundred teenaged sea cadets are introduced to sailing in 30 sea cadet corps in B.C., making it the largest youth sail training program

Alberni rink rules Contributor
Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club hosted the Chad’s Bar and Grill Fours tournament, Aug. 10-11. Twenty-two teams from the North Island Zone participated, with a few even in pirate costume. The Jake Van Kooten team from Port Alberni consisting of Jake, his wife Elaine and Robin and Stephen Forrest were the only team to win all four games. Of the three-game winners, Parksville teams of Mick Banks and Bill Mills’ “we are family” rink were second and third. Courtenay’s Pat Cutt, Al Hopwood, Henri Saucier and Sandy Tonnellier were fourth and Nanaimo’s Vern Hagstrom finished fifth. Speaking of family rinks, the three-generation Dean Penny foursome successfully defended their “Best Team Costume” title and wore the costumes the full two days. As the weather proved too warm for some of the costumes, next year it will be Hawaiian. Qualicum hosted a triples event on Aug. 3-4 with three local teams participating. Vern Greenhill had the disappointment of no losses but no prizes either and Dean Penny, Carole Allen and Pat Chambers and Irene and Bill Whitehouse, with Peter Harding had no prizes either. Locally, the Tuesday Mixed Pairs have two more games to go, and Vern Greenhill and April Gilchrist are leading the way with six wins in six games. Peter Harding and Carol Nelson are hot on their heels with five wins in six games, Frank Lo and Pat Chambers and Archie and Linda Harris have several makeup games to play, and as we send three teams to Zone competition this year (The Harrises are defending champions) the competition is hot and heavy. Wednesday’s Mixed League is six games into their schedule and the no-loss team of Ernie Kassian, Lucie Wood and Chris Wiseman lead the way shadowed by Cath

Wiseman, Marsha Mann and Steve Williams with only one loss. Thursday’s afternoon 2/4/2 is an aggregate opportunity with Marlene Gerrand leading the way with 15 points, pursued by Michael Lynch with 13-1/2. The evening Webber singles is also getting close to a final with Archie Harris as
the one everyone wants to beat. But no one has done it yet, he is 14/14. Next on the road circuit is the Bowls BC Cash Mixed Triples in Port Alberni. Each team must have a “tenderfoot” (three years or less bowling experience). Vern Greenhill and Pat Cutt have teams entered. – Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club
The Jake Van Kooten team from Port Alberni won the Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club’s Chad’s Bar and Grill Fours tournament.

Leswick/Campbell (nee Holstein) Martha Freda July 14, 1921 – August 4, 2013 On the night of August 4, 2013, our family and the world lost an amazing woman who spent her life always putting her family first, gave selflessly to help others around her, and never asked for anything in return. Love personified. Survived by her loving husband of 38 years Warren Campbell, daughter Geraldine Foster (Ken); granddaughter Marsha Foster and great grandson Tyson Foster, granddaughter Connie Dignard, greatgranddaughter Taylor Dignard and great-grandson Brendan Dignard, brother Arnold Holstein (Mavis), brother John Holstein (Cynthia), sister Gladys Heeney (Tom), sister Veronica Rothgerber (David); extended family; Bruce Campbell (Carol); Roger Campbell (Cindy), Ruth Lowe (Nigel) and Murray Campbell. Predeceased by her mother Mary Holstein in 1969, father Frederick Holstein in 1999, sister Edna Nelson 1974, sister Adeline (Lil) Smith 2011, nephew Edward Nelson in 2000, and great-nephew Jeffrey Nelson 2000. Martha was the eldest of five children and two foster children. She was born in Rhein, Saskatchewan but grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba. At 16 Martha left school to help the family survive. After the Second World War broke out Martha moved to Toronto then to Sydney N.S. then like many others she joined the war effort at home. She was our own “Rosie the Riveter�. Later she became qualified in shaping sheet metal for British Ropes and several other companies. A strong work ethic and the determination to support her only child, Martha held a variety of jobs even as a taxi driver. Since her forte was making new friends; she was very successful selling Encyclopedia’s for Encyclopedia Britannica in Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton. In 1942 Martha married Frank Leswick in Toronto which only lasted until he was discharged from the army in 1945. In 1953 Martha moved to Vancouver, BC. In 1958 Martha and Geraldine moved to Vancouver Island (Royston BC) and in 1965 she built a house in Courtenay. In 1969 Martha returned to Vancouver to live for a short period after the death of her mother but moved back to the Island where she met her current husband Warren Campbell in 1975. They resided in Comox, BC. Warren and Martha’s journey together was amazing. They loved their home and yard and family. They were best friends and playmates and loved to spend quiet quality time together and time with the family. Golf became Martha’s passion and she and Warren were long-time members of the Glacier Greens Golf Club. They became the typical “Snow Birds� spending many winter vacations where they joined friends and family and lots of golf. Martha dedicated endless hours as an Auxiliary Member at Glacier View Lodge and on April 19, 2000 was honoured by being the first recipient of the Glacier View Lodge Auxiliary of the year award which was named after her. This year she was presented with a Certificate of Recognition and a Lifetime Membership. The family is grateful for the compassionate and caring staff at both “Ocean View� and the “Casa Loma Senior Village� and “Special Thanks� to Dr. D. Konway. In lieu of flowers donations on Martha’s behalf can be made to Glacier View Lodge at 2450 Back Road, Courtenay, BC, V9N 8B5 A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 25th, 2013 from 1-5pm at the Comox Legion Branch 160 at 1825 Comox Ave., Comox, BC. All friends and family are invited.

Now all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part. God has you in His Keeping, We have you in our hearts.
