The Global BC news crew will be at CFB Comox Tuesday for a live, outdoor taping of the News Hour. Anchor Chris Gailus will present a story about 442 Squadron Search and Rescue Techs and the recent rescue following a float plane crash in Nootka Sound. Gailus received an inside look at the challenges of the job during a training session on the Oyster River. It was his first ride in a Cormorant helicopter, where he experienced firsthand its power and manoeuvrability. “And then to see how a six-man team is a finelytuned machine,” he said, recalling the precision of landing in the river bottom with just 10 metres between the rotor tips and the trees. “They dropped it in there just like it was nothing. It takes a team effort. The pilots are amazing. You have to have spotters on every corner to make sure the chopper is coming down in a safe area.” Hovering at 500 feet, Gailus was impressed how the team managed to drop into a small triangular sandbar in the river. “The downdraft from that helicopter is so powerful it turned the river to foam,” said Gailus, who was lowered out from about 50 feet on a winch from the hoist. He had a camera mounted on his helmet. “All I could do was

look up at this most amazing sight above me, and I never looked down to see how close the ground was getting.” He wound up “pancaked” at the river bottom. “It was kind of a funny moment where I just landed right on my butt.” A second camera and reporter, Kylie Stanton, accompanied some members on a training session involving high-altitude jumps from a Buffalo. “It was really cool to see how the Buffalo can hit the target when they jump out of the back of that thing,” Gailus said. Many of the skills came into play in the Aug. 16 rescue in Nootka Sound on the West Coast of the Island. Despite a 400-foot cloud ceiling and drizzle, Gailus said the SAR Techs could still spot the wreck-
age and drop down. “They had two seriously injured survivors in that wreckage. To provide comfort to them and then get them to hospital in a heartbeat was quite a story.” Another story in Tuesday’s newscast will highlight a “paleontologists dream” in the Courtenay area, which Gailus said has become a “gateway to the great Canadian fossil trail.” Gailus, along with sports anchor Squire Barnes and meteorologist Kristi Gordon, hosts the News Hour from five Island communities beginning Monday in Port Hardy.

Agreement preserves woods
The Comox mayor, K’ómoks chief and three cabinet ministers all had good things to say about a Northeast woods agreement announced Saturday. A parcel of land from the Province will contribute to the K’ómoks First Nation and Town of Comox’s shared vision for the management of Northeast Woods. The Province is transferring 13 hectares of Crown land to be added to the existing Northeast Woods, a popular recreation area minutes from downtown Comox. “Through our combined efforts, we have reached our goal of ensuring the long-term

nerships that create positive benefits for families and residents,” stated Comox Valley MLA Don McRae. Forests Minister Steve Thomson and Minister of Aboriginal Relations John Rustad also commented positively. The land addition is valued at $875,000 and was made possible
through a Crown grant sponsored by the Ministry of Environment. The grant ensures the land will continue to be used for recreation and will provide a ‘buffer’ to enhance wildlife protection for the neighbouring Lazo Marsh Wildlife Management Area. Under a memorandum of understanding, the Town of Comox will transfer the Northeast Woods lands, including the new addition, to the K’ómoks First Nation, and the K’ómoks First Nation will then lease the land back to the Town for 99 years. This allows the Town of Comox to operate the area and ensures the Town and the K’ómoks will have continued involvement in decision-making regarding the future use and management of the area. — Ministry of Forests

Faerber knows what it’s like to be ‘one of those kids’ Erin Haluschak Record Staff
They’ve logged the training miles, visited Camp Goodtimes and have been fundraising for months, and now the Tour de Rock team has hit the road with sights on the Comox Valley this Wednesday. The 15th annual Canadian Cancer Society Cops For Cancer Tour de Rock began Sunday as the team of riders made its way down Vancouver Island from Port Alice, with stops in communities along the way. The 2013 team consists of police officers (military and civilian) and media riders who, for two weeks, ride 1,000 km from the north end of the Island to the south, raising money to fight childhood cancer. Since its inception, the Tour has raised nearly $18 million to fund pediatric cancer research and programs which help children with cancer and their families. The Comox Valley’s (and North Island’s) only rider Jennifer Faerber explained she knows firsthand the effect cancer can have on a family. Faerber, who came to Canada from Australia
three years ago to continue her radio career, battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and attended a camp similar to Camp Goodtimes in Australia. “I wanted to tell people various aspects of what it’s like when you are that kid with cancer,” she noted as her motivation for undertaking the gruelling ride, which will see the team pass through 27 Island communities, and attend fundraising events at schools and businesses. Faerber noted how grateful she is to have gone to a camp during her treatment, and wants to be able to help kids who are currently battling cancer. On Wednesday when the team rolls into the Valley, they will visit a variety of schools including G.P. Vanier, École Robb Road and Valley View. The day culminates with a Black/White/ Bright Tapas Night at the Old House in Courtenay in the evening. Tickets for the fundraiser are $50 each and include entertainment, a silent auction, live auction and raffles; tickets for the event are available at the Comox Valley RCMP detachment on Ryan Road. On Thursday morning
COMOX VALLEY RIDER Jennifer Faerber (front row, far right) is on the 2013 Tour de Rock team. before the team departs south for Royston and Union Bay, they will begin the day at Thrifty Foods at 7:20 a.m. on England Avenue for a community breakfast (not the Crown Isle location as previously scheduled). Everyone is invited to participate and meet the team, have breakfast and make a donation. For full coverage on the Tour de Rock in the Comox Valley, visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com or the Record’s Facebook page for video, photos and updates of the events.

Flying hair, pig-kissing expected at Valley View school Renee Andor Record Staff
Brightly dyed hair, haircuts, head shaves and, maybe even a vice-principal kissing a pig are in the works for Valley View Elementary School’s Tour de Rock fundraiser. The event is set for 11:20 a.m. Wednesday at the school and the fundraising goal is $5,000. District Parent Advisory Council co-representative for Valley View Ineke Burritt will shave off her
golden locks if the school community reaches its fundraising goal. “I have been touched by cancer many times through my sister and a dear friend,” Burritt says in a news release. “I always said I would shave my hair off along with my sister if she required chemotherapy, and we have been lucky so far, but it feels good to show that I mean it. “As well, my dear friend and Valley View parent, Marnie Jewitt, lost her battle to cancer this summer.
I miss her daily, and doing this is personal for me. I want to honour Marnie.” Burritt notes Jewitt fought cancer for five years, and was “present and prevalent in the school.” Valley View principal Erica Black says parents, students and staff have jumped on board with fundraising efforts. The school created a thermometer to monitor donations, and some students will start dying their hair when $50 is reached. More significant haircuts
and aggressive hair dying comes next. At the $1,000 mark male teachers will dress as ladies for the day. At $2,000, the other DPAC co-representative at the school will transform her short brunette hair into a bright purple do, and the vice-principal will kiss a pig. At $3,000, Black’s hair, which has never been dyed before, will become a bright green. And finally, if $5,000 is reached, Burritt will shave her hair off and the entire school will celebrate with a movie afternoon.
Black notes the school is following a ‘heroes’ theme for Tour de Rock and the Terry Fox run this year, and generally encouraging the school community to make the world a better place. “We can all be heroes through simple actions such as being a friend, by being present to someone in need, and by working together to accomplish a common goal that will benefit a cause,” she says in the release. “We don’t need capes and tights to be heroes, but we can certainly have fun while we do
this important work.” Last year the school raised nearly $1,400 for Tour de Rock, but Burritt notes a few years ago the school raised over $5,000. The community is invited to come out to the school Wednesday morning for the event. The Head Shed will donate time to cut, shave and dye hair. For more information or to make a donation, drop by the school office at 2300 Valley View Dr. in Courtenay or call 250-897-0343.

Fire damages home Erin Haluschak Record Staff
An early-morning fire Friday destroyed part of a home on Headquarters Road. The home, located near the 4600 block of Headquarters Road, was unoccupied at the time of the fire, confirmed Courtenay Fire Chief Don Bardonnex. “The call originally came in as an apartment fire but it’s one of the cabins,” he added. Firefighters responded to the call before 7 a.m., and Bardonnex noted the lights were on when they arrived but there was nobody in or near the building. Comox Valley RCMP closed a section of the road with only one lane of traffic flowing until around 8:30 a.m. Bardonnex believes the fire appeared to have started in the wall, and extended. “It’s a lower-income housing that is here; sometimes there are more than just the people who are supposed to be in the place. We are fortunate the building was empty and
it’s just the structure we’re dealing with,” he added. — With a file from CTV Vancouver Island photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com
al carriers that works both ways in terms of bringing folks from out of the country into their domestic network and vice versa,” explained Bigelow. He noted WestJet’s new Encore operated route, which makes serving smaller airports feasible is a “good news-bad news or a bad news-good news story” for YQQ. “The bad news is, quite frankly, they went to Nanaimo,” he said, adding a single flight from Nanaimo to Calgary is now offered and that means people who used to drive to YQQ to fly to Calgary can now fly out of the smaller Nanaimo Airport. “We did our own analysis on this; the sky is not falling,” he added. “We’re going to feel it but it’s not that significant.” Meanwhile, he said the Encore service

WATER MAIN FLUSHING AND HYDRANT MAINTENANCE (October 1 – November 15) The Town of Comox wishes to advise residents that the Public Works Department will be proceeding with the annual flushing of water mains and maintenance of all fire hydrants within the Town of Comox. This program will commence on Tuesday, October 1, 2013 and should be completed by Friday, November 15, 2013. All work will take place from Monday to Friday between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. This program may result in temporary but harmless discolouration of the water. Should this occur, running a cold water tap for a short period will help to restore water quality to normal. Where practical, residents should avoid washing laundry during operational hours as to do so could result in discoloration of clothes. Should you have any questions or concerns please call 250.339.5410 and leave a message for the Public Works staff.
means scheduling improvement opportunities for YQQ, noting, for example, WestJet usually cancels an early morning flight to Calgary in September due to decreased demand. But with the smaller aircraft this flight could operate 12 months of the year. Bigelow also said the airport attended airline headquarter meetings in 2012/2013 in an effort to expand YQQ’s air services network, and it presented business cases to five airlines at the Airport Council International - North America Jumpstart conference in Sacramento, Calif. He noted airlines told him airport fees are a concern because they have to pass those onto their customers. Because there is no customs office in the Valley, YQQ must pay to bring customs officers in, usually from
Nanaimo, and those fees must be passed onto the carriers. The record breaking passenger numbers

The Comox Valley Airport served the highest number of passengers yet during its 2012/2013 fiscal year, giving it a six-per-cent increase, reported CEO Fred Bigelow at YQQ’s annual public meeting. Bigelow said last week the nearly 328,000 passengers served in 2012/2013 is “nothing to sneeze at,” and the average
growth of airports across North America was 1.3 per cent. But, he also cautioned about 7,000 of those passengers, equalling about two per cent of that sixper-cent growth, used an Air Transat charter route to sunspot destinations, which will not operate out of Comox this winter season. He also pointed out WestJet continues to have a growth “explosion,” noting new agreements with international carriers. “WestJet’s made a point of having codeshare and interline agreements with a number of internation-

Campaign underway The Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (United Way) at CFB Comox was kicked off Sept. 18 by members of the Wing’s organizing committee. The annual fundraiser is an opportunity for 19 Wing members to contribute to the local community, while serving to build morale and teamwork. Following on the heels of a successful 2012 United Way drive at CFB Comox, the 2013 campaign is led by Capt. Jeremy Maltais, an air combat systems operator with 442 Squadron, and Sgt. Cesar Esteban, an air traffic controller. “To launch this year’s event, we are putting together a barbecue with United Way representatives from across 19 Wing, beginning with welcoming words from the wing commander and finishing with the official raising of the United Way flag,” said Capt. Maltais. “Of course, we get fantastic support from local businesses and organizations, too. For the barbecue, Quality Foods provided all the food free of charge.” The campaign was established by the Government of Canada, in conjunction with the United Way and health partners, as a way
of co-ordinating all local federal departments in their fundraising initiatives. “We will be helping 19 Wing squadrons and units organize fundraising activities throughout the campaign,” said Esteban. “There are already a lot of great events planned for this year, including 19 Air Maintenance Squadron’s traditional pancake breakfast, bake sales and some surprises that will really bring Wing members together.” For a small donation, military members will also be authorized to dress in civilian clothes on casual Fridays. “The United Way drive is just one way that 19 Wing shows support for our local communities that we are so proud to be a part of,” said Col. Jim Benninger, 19 Wing commander. While 19 Wing members are committed to helping their communities throughout the year through volunteering, the importance of the Workplace Charitable Campaign cannot be understated given that many people in the Comox Valley are touched by at least one of the several organizations supported by the Comox Valley United Way. — CFB Comox
Highjump ran smoothly The sun was shining and spirits were high during the recent 22nd annual Operation Highjump, put on by Comox Recreation. Operation Highjump is a track and field event for mentally and physically challenged people of the Comox Valley and Powell River. The day was filled with numerous track and field events like 50- and 200-metre dash, wheelchair push, high jump, and our most popular event, the ball throw. Besides the more traditional events there are fun games such as sack races, water balloon toss, and a tug of war. The success of Operation Highjump is truly because of the volunteers and the participants. Their joy and

Painting outdoors has challenges and rewards Paula Wild
Record Arts
“An artist’s brain is always on,” says painter Kathleen Dawson. “They’re always observing and being inspired. And each creative thought is like a skipping stone causing untold ripples in the water.” “Exploring each idea is like opening an advent calendar,” she adds. “You never know what you’re going to find or where it will take you.” Kathleen Dawson, Plein Air Painter, opens at Whyte’s Framing and Gallery in Comox on Sept. 27 and continues through Oct. 12. The artist’s reception is from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the 27th. Dawson’s artistic journey has taken her from Ontario to Vancouver and from the rugged wilderness of the Chilcotin Plateau to France and many points in between. In 1999 she bought eight acres in Black Creek as a painting retreat and home for herself and her 12 canine companions. “I have a passion for painting and dogs and make sure I have time for both every day,” she says. In the past, Dawson bred, trained, entered competitions and sold a special breed of German shepherd. Art and animals have long been a focus. Dawson remembers drawing horses on her school notebooks in Grade 2 and later attended veterinary school. But in the end, art won out and she shifted her studies to the Toronto School of Art and the Ontario College of Art. A keen interest in plein air (French for in the open air) painting resulted in many horseback camping expeditions to remote areas of the Chilcotin. Dawson’s ridden through bogs, willow stands and swarms of blackflies. On one trip she had seven separate encounters with grizzlies in five days. And, as well as serving as a wilderness painting retreat, one trip was also a two-week honeymoon. “The Chilcotin is so different from the coast,” explains Dawson. “It’s more open and there’s lots of pink, beige and yellow and less green. And if you get to a high-enough elevation, snow patterns create a fairyland.” In addition to local and national awards, one of Dawson’s Chilcotin paintings, The Dream is There, received a Gold Medal for the Canada Biennial for Canadian Artists and a Gold Medal for Le Salon SNBA in

Paris, France. Despite her fondness for plein air painting, Dawson admits it’s not for everyone. “The challenges include bugs, dogs, heat, wind, people interrupting you and finding a place to take a bathroom break. I’ve tied a bag with a rock in it to my easel to anchor it and painted with one elbow holding the easel down and my thumb holding the painting on it. Once my palette board flew off a cliff into the ocean. “But the rewards are enormous,” she continues. “The human eye sees nuances that a camera will miss – the colours in the shadows and the subtle shifting of light.” Once a year Dawson packs up her painting supplies and heads to France. “The impressionists did a lot of their work outside,” notes Dawson. “Their painting is known for its colour and light. I only paint plein air in France.” When it comes to choice of medium, Dawson prefers oil. “I love the colour, richness and texture of it. And the way it feels on the brush. Oil is very tactile and gives the painting texture.” On occasion, Dawson holds painting classes for two or three at her Paint Box Studio nestled among the towering Douglas fir on her property. For larger groups she holds weekend workshops at another venue noting that serious students usually prefer private instruction. Dawson’s work has been shown in more than 35 galleries worldwide and is held in collections throughout Canada, the U.S., France and Germany. The Whyte’s exhibit includes a mix of plein air and studio paintings. To find out more about Dawson’s work or art classes, visit www.kathleendawson.com. Whyte’s Framing and Gallery is located at 1225 Lazo Rd., a short distance from downtown Comox. Gallery hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Kudos for When I’m 64 Play by J.S. Hill of Comox applauded in Victoria
Another road trip is in the works for five accomplished Comox Valley actresses. Vivien Douglas, Darilyn Keene, Val Macdonald, Sharon Pridham and Sara Zubiak are all established theatre artists who make significant contributions to local live theatre. And, they’ve just been invited back to perform in Victoria.
Last August, they were invited to Shakespeare by the Sea, at Clover Point, Victoria, to give the debut public reading of When I’m 64, a new play-in-progress by Comox playwright J.S. Hill. The reading was directed with sensitivity by local actress, Lynn Hodge. Terry Penney made his customary superb contribution, supporting the actresses with his sound design. At least one full carload of local fans braved the Malahat Highway after reading
Opportunity arises On Oct. 5, writers and poets with manuscripts nearing completion will get a chance to have lunch with representatives from three Vancouver Island publishing companies. In a workshop sponsored by the Comox Valley Writers’ Society, the owner/editors of Promontory Press and Printorium Bookworks (both of Victoria), and Leaf Press (based in Lantzville), will make presentations on behalf of their companies. They will describe in specific terms the services their companies provide and the manuscripts they are looking for. This will be followed by opportunities for registrants at the workshop to gather in small groups with each representative to discuss their personal publishing needs or aspirations. Writers taking part are advised to prepare a brief resumé of their writing experience and an outline of the book they are planning to publish. The workshop will take place at the Little Red Church Community Arts Centre at 2182 Comox Ave. in Comox from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a 45-minute lunch break at noon. The cost to attend is $25 and includes a catered lunch. Proceeds of the workshop will go to support the Little Red Church Community Arts Centre. Writers wishing to attend must pre-register and submit their registration fee no later than Sept. 28. For further information or to register, contact Des Lindo, treasurer of the Comox Valley Writers’ Society by telephone at 250338-0965 or by e-mail
at deslind@shaw.ca. In order that each writer can have his or her individual needs addressed, the number of registrants will be limited. — Comox Valley Writers’ Society
about the play in the Comox Valley Record just to see their local stars perform in the open air tent at Shakespeare by the Sea. Despite a cold, rainy and blustery night — and two unscheduled on-stage appearances by friendly dogs from the nearby off-leash dog park, ably led off stage by Darilyn Keene — the audience sufficiently enjoyed the reading to want their friends to have an opportunity to hear the play. “This was quality theatre,” said Sheila Blake, who encouraged the Theatre Inconnu board of directors to organize and present a return engagement. Arrangements quickly fell into place with Tim Gosley, coowner of Merlin’s Sun Home Theatre, for two play-readings Feb. 1 — the earliest date the Comox actresses could fit into their busy schedules! In the
meantime, Hill will write the next draft. Merlin’s Sun Home Theatre is Victoria’s premier intimate alternative theatre, with 50 seats in a private home owned by Gosley and his wife, Petra Kixmoller. It is located at 1983 Fairfield Rd. (Fortunately, no dogs allowed!) When I’m 64 delves into the stories of six Comox Valley women in transition. Reservations for 2 p.m. matinee and 8 p.m. evening performances Feb. 1 are first come, first served. E-mail Tim Gosley at timgosley@telus.net or call 1-250-598-7488.

Yetis’ defence abominable in two lopsided losses Earle Couper Record Staff
The Comox Valley Glacier Kings were on the wrong end of a couple of blowouts in their last three Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League contests. The Yetis kicked off a busy three-games-in-threenights schedule Sept. 19 in Nanaimo with an 8-3 loss to the Buccaneers. They bounced back to beat the Braves 5-2 Sept. 20 in Saanich, only to suffer a 9-2 pounding at the paws of the Peninsula Panthers in a Sept. 21 home tilt. The results left the Yetis with the worst goals-for, goals-against differential in the league and in third place in the North Division with five points through their first seven games. Things did not start off well for the Icemen as they had to face the North Division leading, undefeated Bucs in Nanaimo. Despite that, the G-Kings trailed only 4-3 after two before the Bucs decided to dominate the third period. Nanaimo’s Will McNamara earned first star for his five-point performance (2g, 3a) while second star Lee Orpen added four points (1g, 3a) and third star Garrett Dunlop notched three points (1g, 2a). Liam Shaw and Grant Iles replied for the visi-

The Bucs outshot the Yetis 36-21, with Alex Mastrodonato the win-
ner and Bryce Di Rocco the loser. The G-Kings got their Friday night encounter with the Braves off to an inauspicious start when Saanich netted a power-
play goal just 1:36 in. But the Yetis came on strong, scoring three goals in just over six minutes to take a 3-1 lead into the second period, then went on to win 5-2.
Jonas Harvath (2g) and Ali Gotmy (2g, 1a) paced the Glacier Kings while Bowman added three assists. The Yetis out-shot the Braves 32-30 with Scott Legault picking up the win
between the pipes. The G-Kings were looking to build on the momentum from that win when they returned home Saturday to host the Panthers, but the game was close only in shots on goal. Peninsula out-shot Comox Valley 32-30 but made their shots count in a lopsided 9-2 win. First star Jackson Skerratt (2g, 2a), second star Connor Logan (2g, 1a) and third star Cole Glover (2g) did most of the damage for the visitors. Sheldon Brett’s second goal of the year and Duncan Pernal’s fourth were the only shots to elude goalie Stephen Heslop. Legault took the loss. The Panthers were 2-for-3 with the man advantage while the Glacier Kings’ were skunked on all five of their power plays. The Icemen will be looking for a little revenge when they visit Peninsula on Sept. 27. They close out the September portion of their schedule Sept. 28 in Parksville with a game against the struggling Oceanside Generals.

Skating club has lots to offer Over six million Canadians lace up ice skates every year – and the Comox Valley is no exception. As fall approaches, experienced skaters are heading back to the ice, and it’s an ideal time for newcomers to get started. This year, the Comox Valley Skating Club has upgraded their extensive program of skating classes with a special focus on making skating accessible to everyone. Things kick off with a Free Try-It Day, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 5:15 to 6 p.m. at the Comox Valley Sports Centre. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience and comfort level, to enjoy this session. All you need is a helmet; skates can be rented on site for a small fee. “We’re offering this as an invitation for anyone curious about skating. It will definitely be fun,” says CVSC coach Greg Ladret. “Or if you haven’t skated in a long time, this can be a great re-entry.” Kids’ classes get started the week of Sept. 30, with three different programs for beginner and novice
SEPT. 25 children, held at the two full-size indoor ice rinks at the Sports Centre. All courses are taught by professional coaches with support from trained program assistants. Skating provides a great workout that develops balance, strength, coordination,
courage and focus, says CVSC coach Dawn Ladret. “Hundreds of kids have taken our programs over the years. Many have progressed on to hockey, figure skating, ringette and speed skating; others have simply enjoyed learning this classic Canadian sport,” she adds. “It’s always wonderful to see them become comfortable on the ice,
gain skills, and develop personally through learning to skate.” Registration takes place Wednesday, Sept. 25, 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Sports Centre lobby. For more information go to www.comoxvalleyskatingclub.ca, or contact the club at 250339-9872, comoxvalleyskatingclub@gmail. com. – Comox Valley Skating Club
Before you participate in a delinquent tax sale, it is important that you understand how this process works in B.C. Please read sections 403 to 428 of the Local Government Act.

Golf season starting to wind down Another successful Glacier Greens Tuesday Night Mens’ golf league drew to a close Sept. 17. The weather was threatening rain, but the players made up for the conditions with enthusiasm and good play. When the last putt had dropped there was a two-way tie for first place with a score of -6. The winners of the countback were Mike Gibbs, Murray Polson, Dan Dupuis, Len Doyle and Rob Egan. Second was the team of Bob Edwards, Adrian Haut, Jack Jackson, Henry Bonde and Randy Doan. Alone in third place with a -5 were Richard Martin, Rudge Wilson, John Lahey, Andy Devries and Greg Conway. For fourth and fifth, there was a c/b of four teams with -4 scores. Taking fourth were Mario Guitard, Leo Lamonthe, Phil Ball, Scott Teasdale and Doug Messer and finishing fifth were Scott Fraser, Barry Hewer, Wayne Mabee and Matthew Rollin. Hole prize winners: #1, sponsored by Aero Art Screenprinting, Rick Verbeek; #2, Bill Kelly Pro Shop, Ron Carter; #3, Cpulter’s Automotive Repair, Adrian Haut; #4, Scott Fraser/Royal Lepage Real Estate, Scott Fraser; #5, The Wine Cottage, Wally Lewis; #6, Billy D’s Pub, Bud Bryan; #7, The Griffin Pub, Wayne Wood; #8, Westview Ford, Andy

Pin ball
The Pin Day winners from five Tuesdays during the season played off last week to determine the Zone 6 winner for Crown Isle. It’s not Carol Ayley, Pam Stevens, Pat Johnson or Sandy Dudley. But if you guessed Donna Cunliffe you are absolutely right. She is the “Ace of Aces” low net winner. The rest of the Crown Isle ladies played their own games to establish a low gross and low net winner. Dee Horie won low gross with Ev Shaw second. Maggie McLean won low net with Margaret Forgeron second. KPs went to Pat Chalmers on #7 and Dee Horie on #6. Next week is the last regular Tuesday ladies’ draw. Where has the summer gone? So ladies please register on the website for both the shotgun scramble
and the luncheon. Let’s see everyone out to finish a fabulous golf season. Seven Crown Isle ladies travelled to Gold River to play in the Jewel of the Isle tournament and all seven won low gross prizes. Dee Horie won third low gross and Valerie Dingwall won fourth low gross. – Crown Isle Golf

Noreen M. Robinson
Passed on Sept. 23, 2011. We love and miss him so much, thinking of him daily. Love always, Tanya, Alisha, Rochelle, Michael, Rhoshi, Faith, Simeon, and Josiah. Though absent you are always near Still loved, still missed, still very dear.
(nee Blower) May 5, 1932 ~ September 11, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden & unexpected passing of our very dear wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin & friend on September 11, 2013. Noreen was pre-deceased by her daughter Cathy and parents John & Lois Blower. Noreen was the love of her husband Ron’s life, and will forever be remembered and missed by Ron, daughters Christine (David) Kohlen, Valerie (O’Reilly), son Rob (Debra), son-in-law David (Barbara) Stratmoen, as well as her 9 treasured grandchildren and her first great-grandchild Amelia. Noreen was born in May of 1932 in Port Alberni and had so many wonderful memories of growing up there with her 5 wonderful siblings & numerous close cousins. In 1951 she married Ron, raised their 4 children in Port Coquitlam and worked many years at Valleyview Hospital. As a family - they all treasured and enjoyed countless weekends and summer holidays at their cabin at Harrison Lake. Noreen and Ron worked for years building their dream home on Denman Island and have lived there since 1981. Noreen was such a vibrant and independent woman. She was the absolute light of our lives - the heart of our homes and a dear friend to all she met. We will forever miss her infectious laugh and unending positive spirit. There will be a Celebration of Life at a later date.
In Loving Memory of UTA KATHE CLARK December 23, 1940 September 20, 2009 It’s been four years now, however, you will be forever in our hearts.

Thomas, Melvin, passed away peacefully on September 13 at Comox Valley Senior’s Village in Courtenay where he had resided for the past two and a half years. Mel was born in Ladysmith, B.C. He learned the cooking trade at a young age as a student at Vancouver Vocational Institute and went on to a successful career. This included a year and half as chef on the DEW Line in Canada’s north in the mid 1950’s. After moving to Courtenay in the late 1960’s Mel was hired by G.P. Vanier School where he taught for twenty two years.. His challenge was to develop a student operated cafeteria program.. At that time the concept was quite unique in the province. The program he developed gave many students the opportunity to work in a first class preparation facility. Many of his students moved on to become chefs and all gained a working knowledge of basic food preparation. Mel was a master teacher and continued to speak fondly of his students long after his retirement. Upon retirement, he became one of the founding members of the Comox District Retired Teachers Association. Mel married Frances (Tolman) in 1965 and together they shared many happy hours together with friends and giving freely of their time and talents at Comox United Church and at various community events. They shared a love of travel and enjoyed a number of ocean cruises together. When not cruising or making pies for the church UCW, Mel loved his garden, did much reading and had a deep love of ships and the sea. His dear Frances passed away in 2012, leaving Mel survived by a sister: Ann Berryhill of London, Ontario, his brother-inlaw Gordon Tolman (Linda) of Richmond, B.C., brother-in-law Bruce Tolman of Vancouver and several nephews. A memorial Service will be held at Comox United Church Saturday September 28, 2013 at 1:00 p.m Rev. Maggie Enwright officiating.

On September 19, 2013 Al Williams passed away at St. Joseph’s Hospital from complications relating to Parkinsons Disease. Al was born in Darwell Alberta to Alfred and Marie Williams. In 1952, he joined the RCAF as a trained metal worker. His career spanned 30 years and included postings to Moose Jaw (twice), Portage la Prairie, Ottawa, Germany and Comox. In 1952 he married June Grace Medd at a ceremony in London, Ontario. Al was a hard worker, often holding two jobs at a time. He was always available when one of his many friends called in need of his help. One of his greatest passions was playing the guitar. For many years he was president of the Comox Valley branch of the Old Time Fiddlers. He delighted in bringing music to patients at St. Josephs and at other care homes in the valley. Al was predeceased by his sons Roger and Gregory, brother Alvin and his wife June. He is survived by his daughter Debora of Comox, daughter Kelly (Kibblewhite) of Beaumont, Alberta, son Darrell of Ottawa, his partner Alice Fitzpatrick, his sister Fran (Patton) of Comox and brother Art of Edmonton, granddaughters Shannon Vance and Lisa Oldham, grandson Douglas Vance and great grandchildren Ian and Arianna.

Cumberland Chamber Members Welcomed After the recent changes at the Cumberland Chamber of Commerce, the Comox Valley Chamber extended a warm welcome to member businesses who wished to continue to enjoy the many benefits of belonging to a chamber, such as employee group benefit programs, merchant services and more. The Chamber is committed to ensuring the Cumberland business community also has a strong voice in the Chamber network and the Valley. We are looking forward to partnering with the Village of Cumberland and local Cumberland businesses to draw attention to the incredible shopping experience it offers and its rich legendary history. This change will facilitate the development of a unified voice advocating in all three municipalities — Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland — and regional areas for policy that supports the development, retention and success of local business in the Valley.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Company offers SOULution service Sue Johnston has spent most of her life in the Comox Valley and is known to many as the founding owner of South Country Feed and Supply and as a past board member with the local Women’s Business Network. After selling South Country in 2008, and a well-deserved five-year hiatus from the business world, Johnston is back on the corporate fast track and ready to move forward in her new role as the Comox Valley representative for Victoria-based Home SOULutions Remediation Services. The company specializes in mould, asbestos and lead remediation from Greater Victoria to the Valley, and every community in-between.
“I have my feet back on the ground and I have hit that ground running,” says Johnston. “When I first met with owners, Roy Piper and Corae Bracken, I knew immediately that this business – although vastly different than anything I have done before – was something I could be passionate about. My heart and home is in the Comox Valley and, because of that, I know there are many beautiful old buildings and homes that contain asbestos. Home SOULutions Remediation can help make these buildings safe again.” Johnston is referring to the fact that, in many buildings constructed prior to 1991, asbestos was used in
A group you probably have never heard of — Multi-material British Columbia (MMBC) — was a hot topic at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference last week. Small business hasn’t made any headlines yet, but is concerned about MMBC too, albeit for different reasons. What’s all the fuss about? The introduction of new recycling rules affecting packaging and paper that ends up in residential waste. The idea behind the rules is to shift responsibility for paying for packaging disposal from the consumer to the producer. This shift will be accomplished by MMBC, a group that has been given regulatory and fee-charging (taxing) power by the
Province. Municipalities are concerned about the impact on existing blue box programs. Small businesses are worried rules and fees designed by the big-business board of MMBC simply won’t work for them. Is it appropriate, for example, to ask a small bakery to separate, weigh, record and report any packaging that might go to the consumer waste stream, including cupcake wrappers, cardboard boxes, cake stands, plastic wrap and bags? Businesses of all sizes have been asked to sign a contract to pay fees that MMBC is unable to disclose. As one small business owner said: “We have no intention of signing up for the program and basically

Pursuant to Section 403 of the Local Government Act, the Collector must offer for sale by public auction, on Monday September 30th, 2013 at the Village of Cumberland Council Chambers (2675 Dunsmuir Avenue), at 10 a.m., each parcel of real property on which property taxes are delinquent.

business, so feel free to contact us if you are affected. The other good news is that any business with $750,000 in gross revenues is exempt because government and MMBC wanted to do something to address small-business concerns. Although the exemption is too low, it is a start. There is a bigger principle at play here. For years CFIB has argued it is inappropriate to give groups the power to impose regulations and fees without making them accountable. MMBC illustrates why this is important.
It has the power to impose new regulations that threaten B.C.’s competitiveness and jobs, yet it is not subject to the Province’s own regulatory reform policy. Currently, its threeperson big business board has the power to impose fees and insist businesses sign contracts without disclosing what the fee is. That said, the good news for small business is the B.C. government is definitely listening. Laura Jones is executive vice-president of CFIB. She can be reached at laura. jones@cfib.ca.

and is the number one occupational killer in B.C. “Renovating or demolishing houses containing asbestos products releases extremely fine fibres that can stay in the air for hours,” said Johnston. “While once thought safe, we now know that exposure to asbestos is extremely dangerous. The risk of developing lung cancer and mesothelioma increases with the amount of asbestos in the air you inhale and the length of time you are exposed to it. It is vitally important for homeowners and renovators alike to rely on experienced professionals to identify all hazardous materials, including asbestos,
New recycling rules create loads of concerns handing over a blank cheque..” Many business owners told us that when they received the MMBC letter threatening a $200,000 fine for non-compliance they thought it was a scam and threw it away. The good news is the B.C. government is listening and understands small business concerns. MMBC has been convinced to put in place a small-business consultation period until January. That buys some time for small businesses that were being asked to start complying with the new rules last week. As an aside, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business plans to provide feedback to the government and MMBC on the reaction of small

Getting elected, staying elected British Columbians who pay attention could not have missed a recent suggestion that BC Hydro rates soar by 26.4 per cent over two years. That’s the kind of news that can trigger coronaries. The number was floated to a group of senior civil servants by BC Hydro representatives who are also on a committee struck by the B.C. government to determine how to minimize politically risky rate hikes. According to a leaked memo, the number was presented as a worst-case scenario. There are some very good reasons, besides smart meters, why rate increases are needed. For starters, Hydro must pay for capital spending to upgrade its dams, generating stations and transmission lines. Providing ammunition for opponents of the B.C. Liberals and a sobering realization for their backers, there’s also the inconvenient reality of how the government decreed that proposed rate hikes be restricted. The order to defer the payment of bills came shortly before an election the Liberals were in real danger of losing. It sure helped them to make their case they are better stewards of the economy than the NDP. This is not a technique that was invented by the Christy Clark Liberals, or even the B.C. Liberals for that matter. Yet here we are with Energy Minister Bill Bennett promising to reduce the increase in what we pay for power. At the same time, he rejected any possibility that new rates would be independently reviewed by the BC Utilities Commission. Bennett is right that British Columbians would be unhappy about such a large jump in what we pay for power. Heaven forbid that decision would be made without political interference, resulting in rates that accurately reflect a financially untenable position for BC Hydro, one the government has helped to create. Emasculating the BCUC is just the latest in a long, sad series of examples that illustrate nothing is more important to politicians than getting elected and staying elected. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com Record Question of the Week This week: Eighty per cent of respondents so far say they believe it should be legal for grocery stores in B.C. to sell alcoholic beverages.

Cable ferry safe, less costly Dear editor, I’m writing to address concerns that have been raised by some regarding our intentions to provide ferry service between Buckley Bay and Denman Island with a cable ferry. As president and CEO, I fully endorse and support this project. I am confident that the proposed cable ferry will continue to allow BC Ferries to provide the same level of service as our current ferry, while still allowing us to maintain our high standard of safety. I, as well as my team, have been working on this project for close to four years and engaged some of the best engineering and naval architectural firms in the world to ensure that we have conducted a thorough review of all areas (cable type/sizing/securing arrangements, vessel design/ passenger comfort, terminal design, wind/wave/tide conditions). In fact, most likely we have done more “due diligence” regarding this cable ferry project than was done on the other 65 cable ferries currently operating in Canada combined. In my former executive positions at BC Ferries, I oversaw the successful introduction of approximately $2 billion in capital projects over the last 10 years including the successful introduction of the largest double ended ferries in the world (Coastal Class) as well as the largest floating ferry berth in the world (Berth 2 at Swartz Bay). Although both these projects were considered to be “leading edge” (not bleeding edge) at the time, they ultimately proved successful because of the comprehensive design and engineering work done upfront including simulation testing. The cable ferry project has followed a similar process even though it would be hard to argue that based on the number of
cable ferries operating throughout the world (some going back hundreds of years if not longer) that the technology could be considered “leading edge.” I understand that even if we were to gain support from cable ferry critics regarding the technical issues, it is still difficult for the communities of Denman and Hornby islands to understand how we can take away the Quinitsa and replace it with a cable ferry when everything is working just fine now.
In fact, most likely we ❝ have done more ‘due diligence’ regarding this cable ferry project than was done on the other 65 cable ferries currently operating in Canada combined.
❞
Mike Corrigan The answer is one that unfortunately I don’t think people of the two communities may ever accept. We are replacing the Quinitsa with a cable ferry because we honestly believe that we can provide an equivalent level of service from a safety and reliability standpoint for considerably less costs (approximately $2 million per year – equally split between labour savings and fuel/maintenance savings). This equates to a savings of $80 million over the 40-year life of the cable ferry. We can then redeploy the Quinitsa as a refit relief vessel on a number of routes across our system so that we can retire another vessel without replacement. The $2 million we save annually operating the cable ferry versus the traditional ferry will help keep fares across the system as low as possible. Unfortunately, the direct benefits of $2 million in savings per
year cannot go solely to lower fares on the Denman ferry route since legislation and regulation is intended to spread the benefits and costs of capital decisions across the entire ferry system. There are pluses and minuses with this type of regulation. Overall, for the minor routes, I would suggest that there are more pluses than minuses, since the high revenue generating major routes can be used to subsidize costs and keep fares down on the minor routes. Also, the extreme effects of multi-million dollar refit and capital upgrade projects on minor routes get spread across the system and are not allocated to a single route for fare recovery. From a safety standpoint, I have also heard from community members and our union regarding the proposed crewing levels for the cable ferry. We expect to operate the cable ferry with three crew members. However, Transport Canada may determine a different crew size than three. We have said publicly that if Transport Canada’s crew size is less than three we will commit to a crew of three. Likewise, if Transport Canada’s crewing level is more than three we are required by law to crew at that level. Since the cable ferry will be crewed with less crew than the Quinitsa, we have addressed potential safety concerns regarding the requirement to fight a fire by adding modern fire suppression technology such as a hi-fog water mist system and remote fire monitors throughout the cable ferry. We have also equipped the cable ferry with a rescue craft for any potential man-overboard incidents. Mike Corrigan Editor’s note: This letter was shortened due to print space restrictions.

Local politicians thwarting ‘golden opportunity’ that has since been sold by the forestry company as no longer viable to them. We have the opportunity to gain this beautiful parkland at no cost to the taxpayer. Now I am sure you realize that I am talking about the land along the Puntledge River including Stotan Falls. The present owner is prepared to give up this fantastic riverfront parkland, a jewel of a park with no rival in the Valley. The only consideration the owner is asking for is the rezoning of the nonriverfront property to develop a very green, small
Thank you for supporting church project
Dear editor, I was shown the piece you wrote (Record editorial, Sept. 12) about the thank you letter from Linda and Tim Folkman. I was so impressed you shared your feelings this way, and I wanted you to know just how much they appreciated your acknowledgement! I was at their home for a pre-planning meeting as the trip is coming up quickly! Last year I was blessed to have gone on the first trip to the village and work with the children of the youth centre Living Hope raised funds to build. With the support of our community, we will continue to reach out to these amazing people, who’ve had such sadness and horror affect their lives. One of the questions posed by one of the women we met was, “Why did you come all this way?” The answer was, to share the love of Christ, and to help out materially in any way we could. Mostly they just wanted to get to know us as people, to share in the human experience. And they were quite shocked to find out that those of us on the trip had lessthan-perfect lives, and had suffered hardships of our own. I could go on and on ... but mostly I am thanking you and your paper for your part in this small but important trip. Lori Root, Courtenay Editor’s note: Lori Root refers to work done in Cambodia by members of the Living Hope Christian Fellowship.

J. Murray Presley acreage subdivision with a small commercial centre to service the needs of those residential owners. A subdivision completely serviced and paid for by the developer. What do you say is the problem? The problem is a document developed by the local politicians, both municipal and regional, called the Regional Growth Strategy.
It is not so much the document but how it is being used. The strategy was developed with a five-year review but a provision to amend it during that fiveyear period or any other five-year period if it was renewed. This amendment provision was to allow for major or minor amendments that may be required during the life of the RGS. I would
think that this opportunity to receive a 185-acre riverfront park free of cost would justify considering an amendment to the RGS supporting the property owner’s proposal. Unfortunately, some politicians are having a hard time seeing the benefits of the riverfront park over their loss of control on which areas in the Comox Valley get developed. I would unhesitatingly say that if you took a look at what would be in the Valley’s best interest (politicians surely should consider this as well), the gaining of this parkland would rank right up there
as a No. 1 priority. There are two issues here — a rezoning of land and the securing of a 125acre riverfront park. I believe the acquisition of the park should take precedence over the rezoning of some land. This Valley will continue to grow and require more parkland. Please think about whether this park should be added to the Valley for all of us to enjoy it or stay in private hands. As I said, this is a oncein-a-lifetime golden opportunity for the Valley — let’s not lose it. J. Murray Presley, Courtenay
Cumberland forest ‘wonderful legacy’ Dear editor, I think one of the most important initiatives this fall is the next phase of the Cumberland Community Forest Society. Who could have believed 20 years ago that a small group of determined locals, Gwyn Sproule and Mary Lynn Desroches (who actually mortgaged her house) jump started the purchase the first phase of the Cumberland Forest. They raised the staggering amount of $1.2 million, which I thought at the time was impossible in a community of 2,500. If you love the rainforest, the Cumberland Forest has it all. The drainage systems is classic Canadiana. A series of beaver ponds ensures a year-round supply of water flow into Perseverance Creek. This is crucial for the resident trout and migratory salmon. In the winter, dramatic waterfalls come cascading down through the forest and rock faces. Nutrients from the glacial soil leach down into
the valley, creating huge cedar trees. There is a picture in the book Wilderness Profound of Robert Filberg standing with his arms outstretched in front of a red cedar at Comox Lake that was four metres at the butt! If not felled by the chainsaw (scheduled for 2016), the trees in that forest have that potential. It is amazing the salmon survived the coal mines in Perseverance Creek. Woodpeckers thrive in the old snags created by the beaver dams. Skunk cabbages go crazy in the spring. The whole ecosystem is a huge incubation of Mother Nature’s rainforest. The area is also steeped in B.C. history. At one time the Dunsmuir interests owned two million acres of land on Vancouver Island including most of Cumberland. The old railway grade is still there where the old steam engines chugged into Cumberland. The only thing left of Chinatown is an old 1890s fire hydrant and Jumbo’s cabin. How-
ever, if you dig around you can find shards of pottery with Chinese and Japanese designs. What a wonderful legacy for the Comox Valley. Dig deep and
spend some of those hoards of savings that your kids or grandchildren will waste away on frivolous toys. I send my $100 per month and will make an additional $100 to
this very important next phase. Brian Scott, Black Creek Editor’s note: Brian Scott was a resident of Cumberland for 20 years.

Dear editor, Every so often a community has a golden opportunity. The Comox Valley is in the position to realize one now. What if I told you that the Valley has an opportunity to secure 185 acres of riverfront property complete with many swimming holes, cross-country bike paths and walking trails. In addition, the acquisition would preclude private development from closing off riverfront access to the public, access that the public has enjoyed for years. This access was always on private forestry land
