Century-old message in bottle still remains mystery Renee Andor Record Staff

Courtenay resident Steve Thurber finds interesting items at the beach all the time — but this time he’s got something that may be a world recordbreaker. While walking along Schooner Cove near Tofino, Thurber spied a bottle with a message in it, which is over 100 years old. “I was almost going to pass this by,” says Thurber, who regularly finds things like old bottles on beach walks. Then, “I said, ‘Oh, there’s something in it,’ and I checked, and there was a note and it said ‘1906’ — like I just thought that was pretty neat. And now it might be a world record holder.” As of Thursday, Thurber still had to contact the Guinness Book of World Records to see if his message in a bottle is the oldest in the world, be he did some research online and is fairly confident his find is the oldest. “According to Guinness right now, the oldest one is almost 98 years old and that was from a guy that sent out 1,500 of them in 1914, and the last one was found last year,” he continues. Thurber drives a shuttle to Tofino twice per week for Comox

Taxi, and on those days, he has hours to wait before driving the shuttle back to the Valley. Thurber hasn’t opened the bottle, but he could read some information on the message through the bottle: the name on it is Earl Willard, and it was written while aboard the steamer Rainier on Sept. 29, 1906, 76 hours into a journey from San Francisco to Bellingham. The address in the bottle is 1304 Commercial St., Bellingham, Washington, which Thurber says is now Bellingham Railway Museum. Thurber is still researching Earl Willard to find out what his story was, but he says he doesn’t plan to open the bottle to see if there’s more information inside, something he says people have

ing season because (hunters are) encouraged to shoot the bigger males,” he continues, noting big males usually eat some of the cubs so when they are shot more cubs live.

“So, you’ve got a really good recruitment of younger animals and that seems to be the ones that are getting into trouble, you know, coming into the towns, first year on their own, typically

one-and-a-half to two-yearold cats — they’re forging out their own territory and they cross the line on occasion.” CIVIC SEDAN SI Meanwhile, incidents involving bears, especially in Cumberland, have picked up over the past couple of weeks, but Hilgemann notes that’s typical at this time of year. Typically, bears activity in Cumberland lasts through October and November. A mother bear with two cubs was reported last week in the Maryport Avenue and Sixth Street area. Conservation officers

and RCMP officers were on scene, and according to Cpl. Chris Backus, the cubs became trapped in a live bear trap, but the mother was not. “The mom was there, not in the trap, so she was upset,” says Backus. “Obviously, a mama bear that’s upset could pose a risk to the people even just walking by, in the daytime.” Backus adds officers were able to get the mother bear far enough away from the trap to open it and let the cubs out. The bears then ran off into the forested area behind the BMX track. Hilgemann says unpicked fruit trees are a big attractant for bears. However, he is also concerned bears will be more enticed by garbage this year, as this fall is the first with garbage being picked up every two weeks in Cumberland instead of every week. “They’ve gone to this once-every-two-week garbage pick-up process for composting and that has

be revisited I would say,” he says. “People having to store their garbage inside their homes or trailers — it’s posing a real risk to the people, you know, a bear actually breaking in in search of the attractant.” Longtime Cumberland resident Janet Barnes, who reported the mother and cubs last week, says she regularly sees bears around her home, but she’s concerned about garbage attracting more bears with the two-week garbage pickup, as well. “There’s a bear here every night,” she says, adding she’s seen garbage in her neighbourhood that looks like bears have been in it. “There’s probably the same amount of bears but there’s more problems, conflict with people because of this garbage issue.” Cumberland and Comox were chosen for a one-year organics waste collection program which started in June. Since then garbage has been picked up every two weeks, alternating with recycling, and compostable waste has been picked up every week. But, Village bylaw enforcement officer Darby Arseneault says she hasn’t seen an increase in bear activity this year. “From what I’ve witnessed, it’s about the same thing as always around this time of year, when the fruit trees aren’t picked and bears are coming in,” she says. She works with con-

servation officers, and will visit neighbourhoods with spikes in bear activity to speak with residents about bear awareness — noting the importance of picking their fruit trees and properly storing attractants. Village chief admin-

video-online www.comoxvalleyrecord.com istrative officer Sundance Topham says if there’s no increase in bear activity then he doesn’t believe “organ-

ics has an impact on it at all.” “All year we would hope that people put their garbage in animal-proof containers and store it in a location where animals can’t access it, whether it’s every week or every two weeks,” says

Topham, adding recycling can also attract animals if it has any food residue on it. “So,

it’s not just the garbage, it’s the organics and it’s the recycling that should be stored

inside and then put out the day of solid waste collection.”

The Vancouver Island Visitor Centre was packed with about 145 enthusiastic Comox Valley businesspeople last Wednesday for the annual Tourism Industry Forum. Hosted by Discover Comox Valley, the event provided a chance for Valley businesses big and small to learn about regional marketing and tourism development initiatives, provide input and network with each other. “It’s interesting to see … all the different players that are here,” said Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce board chair Tracey McGinnis, noting she saw people from the hotel industry to food to recreation at the forum. “It feels like they’re talking to all the groups and saying, ‘What do you need? What do you want to see?’ They’re trying to get input from everybody. It sounds like a really positive move forward.” Bill Anglin, chair of the newly formed Comox Valley Destination Marketing Advisory Committee, urged attendees to let committee members know of any ideas they have before he introduced the keynote speaker, Destination BC board chair Andrea Shaw. She gave an update on the newly formed Crown corporation in her keynote speech, noting committees, including a 19-member Tourism Marketing Committee, have now been established and the board expects to have a CEO hired by the end of October at the latest. Immediately after that, she said, strategic planning will begin, and she expects the vision will be bold. “I think that we have to have a bold

Coastal Canadians must really clean up our act Imagine travelling across Canada three times end to end — between Vancouver and St. John’s, Nfld. That distance — 21,775 kilometres — is about the length of shorelines cleaned to date in this country as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, presented by Loblaw Companies Limited. Celebrating 20 years this fall, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, a conservation initiative of Vancouver Aquarium and WWF, is calling on Canadians to sign up now at ShorelineCleanup.ca as site

co-ordinators or participants for this fall’s cleanup Sept. 21 to 29. The Shoreline Cleanup is Canada’s largest direct-action conservation initiative, mobilizing participants throughout the country to remove litter from its shorelines — anywhere where land meets water. “Throughout its 20-year history, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup has enlisted half a million Canadians to collect approximately 1.2 million kilograms of shoreline litter — the approximate weight of 259 school buses,” says Jill Dwyer, program

manager for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. “Although these figures represent great accomplishments, they also indicate that there is much more work left to do, and many more volunteers required to stem the tide of shoreline litter.” Shoreline litter is a serious environmental issue in Canada — and worldwide. Its effects are far-reaching — from entangling and choking wildlife, to being ingested by wild animals, to negatively impacting water quality and cleanliness. For example, during last year’s clean-

up effort, 45 animals were found entangled, including 22 fish, 10 birds (including gulls, swans, and heron), and even a fox. Shoreline litter can also pose safety risks to humans, and cause disruptions or imbalances within the local ecosystem. The goal of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup this year is to enlist 64,000 site coordinators and volunteers to participate, an unprecedented goal for the program. Last year, Shoreline Cleanup collected 136,000-plus kilograms of shoreline litter, reflecting the

This year CPS (Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons) is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Two anniversary flags are making a relay across Canada, one to the east and into the Atlantic and another to the west and into the Pacific. Both flags started their journey in Windsor, Ont., and are being passed from one squadron to the next. On Sept. 17, the western flag will arrive on Vancouver Island at the Little River BC Ferries terminal. By kind permission of BC Ferries, it will fly atop the mast of the BC Ferries vessel Queen of Burnaby, next to the BC Ferries flag. Once on the Island, it will be waved by each squadron in turn travelling from north to south via Campbell River, Comox Valley, Parksville, Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Gabriola Island, Ladysmith and Cowichan before moving to Salt Spring Island. Each local squadron will celebrate the presence of the flag in their

town with their own local events. The westerly flag will eventually be dipped in the Pacific near Sooke. After their soaking, it and the eastern flag will be dried and taken to Toronto and will form the centrepiece of the CPS 75th conference and AGM. One flag will then be given to our colleagues in United States Power Squadrons and take part in their 100th anniversary celebrations. CPS is known nationally as the premier organization teaching safe boating. CPS was founded in the summer of 1938 by boaters who went from Windsor across the border to Detroit and took courses from our colleagues the United

States Power Squadron. They realized that Canada needed a similar Safe Boating teaching organization and founded CPS. CPS is a nationally registered not for-profit corporation with 26,000 members. Canada’s 165 squadrons form larger units called districts. The Vancouver Island North District covers the Island from the Malahat to the north of the Island, while the Vancouver Island

South District covers the Gulf Islands and the Capital Region. These local squadrons teach courses ranging from how to tie knots, how to anchor safely, how to read the weather to how to navigate safely offshore using GPS and celestial navigation. Squadrons delve much deeper than just the basic pleasure craft operators requirements, although they teach that as well. — Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons

Looking for somewhere fun to go on a Friday night? Jilli Martini has teamed up with Billy D’s Pub in downtown Courtenay, combining weekly entertainment with their friendly service, great food and drink specials. The fun began this past Friday and will continue every Friday night at Billy D’s Pub for music with Jilli Martini. At Jilli Martini’s Friday Lounge, listeners can expect to hear a mixed bag of sultry blues, rock, old school country and some pop hits from many eras. This popular Comox Valley singer is recognized for her ability to perform a broad range of styles and genres, primarily featuring favourite hits from the ‘70s and ‘80s, with some older and newer thrown in the mix as well. Jill’s eclectic selections are often interpreted in acoustic versions, but she can be known for rocking it up pretty good, too! Her versatility as a vocalist, and the natural way she engages her audience has made her a local favourite. She sets the room at ease with her relaxed style as she delivers each song with passion and conviction, appealing to folks of all ages and different musical tastes. Jill is proud to be accompanied by accomplished guitarist Doug Biggs. She is also joined by her solid rhythm section, Blair Bentley on drums/percussion and Andre Forgues on bass guitar. You never know what song Jill will pull out of the hat, from Dolly Parton’s Jolene to Guns and Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine. Going to a show at the Sid Williams? Keep the evening going and walk on over for a drink and a bite and listen to some music after the show. Now there’s something to do every Friday night on Fifth Street, putting the ‘beat’ into the heart of downtown Courtenay at nighttime. Music is from 8 to 11 p.m. On Sept. 27, musical entertainment will be provided by Tom Walton and Anela Kahiamoe, as the Jilli Martini Band will be away that night. Also to be noted, Friday nights are not an open mic night. The popular Saturday night open mic nights are still happening and hosted by Mitch Currie. — Jilli Martini

This Thursday at 7:30, the Little Red Church Society is thrilled to present the first in a series of monthly live Jazz performances. Kicking things off for the fall Jazz Series, is wellknown local performer Ralph Barrat and the Valley’s newest jazz combo, Ralph Barrat and the Sharp Seven, presenting A Tribute to Sinatra and Ellington. Executive director Kelly Pound commented, “Our once per month Jazz Series dovetails perfectly with the (Georgia Straight) Jazz Society’s weekly Thursday performances, when there is no performance at the Avalanche.” The Sharp Seven is a powerhouse lineup with Gregory Bush, VIU, Professor of Music on trumpet; Don Mackay (Masters in Jazz Composition) on bass; and Michael Eddy (ARCT Royal Conservatory of Music) on grand piano. Rounding out the group are two recent VIU Music Degree graduates: Troy Lucas on alto sax and Carson Fry on trombone. On drums is well-known local performer Rob Peterson. Barrat is normally seen performing and singing behind a piano. The Sharp Seven combo gives Barrat the opportunity to treat the audience with his distinct vocal style, reminiscent of Sinatra, Bublé and other greats. You are in for a real treat as Barrat belts out arrangements of favourites like Stella, Nature Boy, Best is Yet to Come, It Don’t Mean a Thing and many more of your favourite tunes, specifically arranged for the group by Bush and Lucas. For more, visit ralphbarrat.com. The fall jazz series at The Little Red Church, (licensed), complements an alreadyvibrant live jazz performance scene.

Local actors bring Charlie Brown, Snoopy to life Two of the Comox Valley’s most talented young artists, Adam Kozlick and Harris Anderson, have recently completed their first professional contracts as working actors in the musical You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown. This popular musical is based on Charles M. Schulz’ Peanuts comic strip that ran in more than 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries. For 50 years, Schultz wrote a new comic strip every day, making Peanuts one of the most widely acclaimed comic strips in history. For this production, Kozlick played the lead role of the everdetermined and lovable Charlie Brown. Anderson stepped into the role of the adventurous canine, Snoopy. These are challenginga roles as performers must bring the well-known, iconic comic strip characters to life with animation, dance and song. Both performers were selected from auditions conducted across Canada with more than 100 professionally trained actors competing for six roles. Kozlick was raised in the Valley. His dream as a five-yearold was ‘to play at the Sid.’ This dream came true at age eight when he appeared in the Courtenay Little Theatre production of Cinderella. Adam is remembered for many improv

performances at Vanier High School and as captain of the Vanier improv team. During the first year it won the National Improv Championships in Ottawa. At 17, Adam gave a dramatic performance as Sweeney Todd in the CYMC production of this technically challenging Sondheim musical and a delightful characterization of The Cat in the Hat in Seussical the Musical. He recently completed the Acting for Stage and Screen program at Capilano University. He enjoys singing, composing and playing piano. Anderson moved to the Valley as a teenager and amazed audiences with his performance as Carmen Ghia in The Producers. Harris attended the Canadian College of performing Arts in Victoria. Recently, he completed work on his first ever musical score for the latest Rossland Gold Fever Follies production A Job Well Done. Harris is a gifted musician, songwriter and standup comic. He dedicated his performance as Snoopy to his own faithful hound, Marvin. You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown was the summer production of the Prairie Skies Musical Theatre Company operating near Edenwold, Sask. near Regina. The outdoor theatre is located in a

pastoral setting under the expansive Prairie sky. A full-course dinner is served before performances. Adam and Harris are grateful to artistic director Kailey Tiefenbach, vocal director Chip McDaniel and the entire production crew for a wonderful professional experience. Anyone interested in attending next year’s production can contact the company at prairieskiessk.com. — Prairie Skies Musical Theatre Company

McLoughlin a busy goalie at Founders Cup Manitoba Gryphons 20-4 earlier in the season. (The Gryphons are the travelling team who play out of the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League. The Selects were the best players from the Red River Lacrosse Association.) McLoughlin faced over 80 shots in a 19-11 loss, with 11 of the Gryphons’ goals coming on the power play. Next up were Six Nations Rebels from Ontario, who would go on to win their third straight and sixth overall Founders Cup title. “We needed to be within 15 goals to capture third in our pool. Sounds easy? It wasn’t,” McLoughlin said. “Six Nations had just finished roughing up Nova Scotia, the team we tied 10-10, 24-4…The odds were stacked highly against us. I started for the second game in a row. We ended up losing 18-4, but once again I faced well over 75 shots,” the 18-year-old McLoughlin recounted. “What a game to be a goalie in! All I remember doing after the game was looking at my once-blue, now-black, shirt drenched with sweat. I wrang it out and it sounded like a garden hose hitting the dressing room floor.”

Earle Couper Record Staff

What’s it like to be the target in a shooting gallery? Tristan McLoughlin knows the answer to that question after playing goalie for the Manitoba Selects at the 2013 Founders Cup, the Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA) Junior B championship held Aug. 19-25 in Winnipeg. The former Comox Valley Wild boxla standout faced a plethora of shots and more than held his own at the eight-team affair. “The tourney went well,” McLoughlin said. “We ended up in seventh place, but no one hung their head down. “We went into the tourney as underdogs and proved to the rest of Canada … that Manitoba can play lacrosse. I don’t remember having this much fun playing lacrosse for a while,” said McLoughlin. “Everyone expected us to be blown out 20-0 every game.

Greenskeepers exact revenge Sunnydale men’s club played their annual Greenskeeper Revenge tourney on Sept. 8. The tee blocks were set back as far as they could go and the pin placements were put in difficult positions with mostly tricky downhill putts. The comments in the clubhouse were mostly about how they would have a 12 or 15 on one hole, but there was one golfer that had a 27 on one hole.The greenskeepers certainly had their revenge.

After many years absence, the Westerly Field Hockey Trophy has finally returned home. The Westerly Field Hockey Tournament, which began in 1981 in the Comox Valley by Joan Longtin, was hosted in our community for several years. Over time, the tournament was hosted by different Island communities. With the revival of women’s field hockey in the Valley and the formation of the Comox Valley Ladies Field Hockey Association in 2010, the club has steadily promoted the

sport. Playing on a grass pitch during the spring season and indoors the rest of the year, this enthusiastic group of women have developed their skills and strategies. With the upcoming artificial turf in fall 2014, the club is hopeful that they will be given time on the turf to improve their game. At the Westerly Tournament, held Sept. 5-6 in Nanaimo, the Comox Valley women’s field hockey team fought hard to win in the semifinals against

Nanaimo 2-1. In a challenging final game against the favoured Cowichan team, the ladies skillfully played an exciting game, defeating Cowichan 1-0. If you are interested in joining the CVLFHA, contact the club at cvlfha@gmail.com Any junior players can join the Comox Valley Field Hockey League in spring 2014. Check out both clubs on their website at www.comoxvalleyfieldhockey.ca. – Comox Valley Ladies Field Hockey Association

Barry was born into the pioneer Janes family in the Comox Valley on July 18, 1939 to Mavis and Hi Churchill. Barry worked in the logging industry most of his life, as a faller and truck driver. In his younger years he enjoyed stock car racing, horseback riding, hunting and fishing. He was very involved in the community as a 4-H Club leader, the Comox Valley Fish and Game Club and the Comox Valley Riding Club. Barry retired in 2001 and you could often find him having coffee with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;guysâ&#x20AC;? at A&W North, the Merville Store or both! Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other passion was his family. Barry leaves his loving wife of 48 years, Faye. His children; Donna, Charlie, Leah (Lawrence) and Gina (David); grandchildren; Nicole (Jeremiah), Deidre (Derek), Ryan, Mariah, Dawson, Maddisen, Olivia, Lauren, Liam and his â&#x20AC;&#x153;morning Buddyâ&#x20AC;?, Isabella, his great grandchildren; Brandon, Josiah, Maddie and Aurora, Jordan and Kaden, also numerous nieces and nephews, especially nephew Chad MacDougall, who shared his uncle Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the outdoors. Barry is predeceased by his parents. Mavis and Hi, his daughter Sandra, great granddaughter Cheyenne, his favorite uncle Dave Janes and his nephew Darryl Morrison with whom he shared a special bond. A gathering in Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory for close family and friends will take place on October 13th, 2013 at Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home from 1-4PM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.

People at their best, worst What people are really made of is revealed, not when things are going well, but in times of stress. Two young people reacted at opposite ends of the scale well after dark last Wednesday night. A 16-year-old driver did everything wrong after striking Molly (Megan) Burton, who was walking along Comox (Dyke) Road just before midnight. After flinging the 24-year-old woman into nearby brush, injuring her critically, the teen drove away. A TV reporter’s assessment that he “left her for dead” is harsh since that implies intent. Yet the teen was driving fast enough to send her flying out of sight of other passersby. Not stopping, rendering assistance and summoning medical help was a callous, cowardly act that he must live with the rest of his life, and answer for in court. Contrast his actions with those of Brody Fullerton. From his boat, the young man heard Burton’s anguished cries for help after she spent several hours in pain and fear with serious injuries to her right arm and right leg. Fullerton said he spent 45 minutes in the darkness before he located her, comforting her until medical help arrived. His dedication, compassion and selflessness should result in a medal. As it is, response to Comox Valley Record online coverage identified Fullerton as a compassionate son who regularly visited his dying mother. Former Kingfisher Resort co-workers sent their best to Burton and a former teacher described her as “outgoing, fun-loving, happy and strong.” She will need those qualities during a difficult recovery period that is expected to include several surgeries. We at the Record wish her a speedy and full recovery. We also extend sympathy to her parents, Leslie Wells and Ralph Burton. As a counsellor at Pacific Therapy and Consulting in Courtenay, the compassionate and insightful Wells has helped many people. She, her husband and daughter need a strong support network during the difficult months ahead. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com Record Question of the Week This week: Sixty-six per cent of respondents so far say they are concerned about eating genetically modified food. The issue is extremely complex, but do you have a straightforward opinion to share? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll. École Puntledge Park Elementary students did a sweet thing when they honoured residential school survivors in their school community.

Bad enough that a 16-yearold driver struck a woman with his vehicle on Comox Road. Leaving her to suffer by the side of the road is a much worse offence.

Genetic engineering complex Dear editor, I read the comments made by Tom Grant, Comox councillor about genetically modified food. I must say that I agreed with his comments. I have been involved with biotechnology since the early 1980s. My last role as a faculty member at the University of Toronto was as director of their Biotechnology Graduate Program. I have followed and taught graduate students and undergraduate students at the university about biotechnology, and all aspects of molecular genetics. I have also given a course in biotechnology to seniors at ElderCollege. The issue of genetic engineering is complex. More care is given to food security now than ever in the past. The level of regulations that now exist, especially in Canada, are the envy of the world. This is due to the level of caution used in the analysis and release of all new foods we eat. I also read Dr. Thierry Vrain’s letter and must say that if he can substantiate his claims, we should be concerned. I as a research scientist and educator, however, do not believe he can. Food choice is personal and I believe we can make decisions based on our own analysis. With a library available to all of us on our computers, we can check most statements. I am wary about undocumented statements. You can virtually check every statement made in Dr. Vrain’s letter if you wish and draw your own conclusions. Use the Internet, ask people that you know with an appropriate background, and ask your physician about the safety of food in Canada. As past director of the Biotechnology Program at the Univer-

sity of Toronto, I am not aware of any creditable report of any GM food affecting human health of any kind. Individuals should be encouraged to make their decisions on food safety based on scientific evidence and personal choice, not on emotion or personal opinions of others. There are individuals with scientific credentials who make claims and post them on the

Internet, but I know of none of these claims that have been accepted by the scientific community that subject their own studies to peer review in good journals. Below is a statement from the American Medical Association (AMA) on GM foods released in 2012: “The AMA recognizes the continuing validity of the three major conclusions contained in the 1987 National Academy of Sciences white paper, “Introduction of Recombinant DNAEngineered Organisms into the Environment.” The three major conclusions are: (a)There is no evidence that unique hazards exist either in the use of recombinant techniques or in the movement of genes between unrelated organisms;

(b) The risks associated with the introduction of recombinant -engineered organisms are the same in kind as those associated with the introduction of unmodified organisms and organisms modified by other methods; (c) Assessment of the risk of introducing recombinant -engineered organisms into the environment should be based on the nature of the organism and the environment into which it is introduced, not on the method by which it was produced. Do your checking with reliable sources. For example, you can Google an article in the U.K. Guardian in 2012 on GMO Golden Rice and get a valid scientific opinion. Search the Internet for what the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada say about Roundup in 2013. Check the facts. Check out the information on one gene one protein online. Does it make sense with respect to what has been published in our local papers? What I cannot support are unfounded claims that the world’s scientific community has not shown care in food production, and the use of scare tactics to influence food security issues. We have and will continue to have a major shortage of food worldwide. I personally believe that anything we can do to increase food and food choices for people are a positive thing. We must remember that the organic food industry as well as the traditional food industry is there to make money and feed the hungry people of the world. Our government has the responsibility to insure our food safety and as far as I can determine, it has done an excellent job. Paul A. Horgen, Comox Valley

Railway deal‘bargain of century’ Dear editor, To all those frugal taxpayers who are giving the the Vancouver Island Railway a thumbs down — what are you thinking? This existing railway line is a blessing and the $18 million to get it back on its feet is the bargain of the century. How do these frugal taxpayers get to Victoria now? Unless they have the Star Trek Instantaneous Transportation Device they drive their car. These roadways do not come

cheap. For example, let’s look at the Malahat. This summer saw the addition of 2.5 km of lane barriers and the improvement of the Malahat/Shawnigan Lake intersection. The price for this tiny bit of roadwork was $8 million. There is public pressure to install more barriers, which the government will pay over $12 million for. The government has been slow to react to this public pressure because their own studies have shown

that the Malahat is reaching its vehicle capacity during peak periods, which means in a few years a major reconstruction will need to take place. They have come up with three possibilities. The cheapest rerouting would cost $300 million and remove 50 acres from

Goldstream Park. The second option is realigning the road through Sooke Hills Regional Park for $400 million. The third option is a Saanich Peninsula/Mill Bay bridge with a projected cost of $3.3 billion. The Malahat is only 10 per cent of the roadway from here to

Victoria. A train service would not eliminate roadwork but it would greatly reduce the wear and tear on the highway plus eliminate the need for its constant expansion and improvements due to increasing traffic. Lesley Krainer, Courtenay

Mine pollution can’t be avoided Dear editor, On Aug. 24, a malfunction of a containment pond at Coalmont Energy’s Basin Coal Mine 20 km west of Princeton spilled what is estimated at “ no more than 13,000 gallons” of coal slurry, which eventually made its way into the nearby Tulameen River, turning it black. This coal slurry spill was characterized by Coalmont Energy as an event which just happened to exceed their backup plan, and “mainly had a visual impact” on the environment. This is a small consolation to the residents in the area, their drinking water, and the critters in the impacted waterways which had above acceptable levels of contamination for aquatic life days after the spill. While this event received little attention here in the Comox Valley, this should

serve as a cautionary tale for those concerned about the proposed Raven Coal Mine and its location only five km from Baynes Sound. Imagine a scenario where 13,000 gallons of coal slurry was dumped from a Raven Coal Mine containment pond into nearby Cowie Creek and made its way a short distance into Baynes Sound. Even with 21st century mining industry technology, spills caused by mechanical malfunctions, human error, or unforeseen circumstances can and will continue to happen. Given these facts, this Basin Coal Mine spill underscores the importance of protecting our sustainable Baynes Sound shellfish industry and exposing the threat posed by the proposed Raven Coal Mine Project.
