Molly back home to recuperate Hit-and-run victim came home Tuesday from Victoria hospital Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Following weeks of surgery and recovery, Molly Burton left a Victoria-area hospital and arrived back

home Tuesday to begin months of healing at her home in the Comox Valley. The 24-year-old suffered critical injuries last month to her lower right leg and right arm when she was struck by a vehicle on Comox Road as she walked home. She laid in nearby brush for several hours before being found. Burton’s mother Leslie Wells said Molly will be

able to continue healing at home for a couple of months before starting the next round of surgeries. She added Molly will need some equipment to manage at home, with equipment that was installed throughout the past weekend. Following a series of bone, skin and muscle grafts to her right leg and arm, Burton admits she “can’t really wrap my head”

around what lies ahead. “It hurts a lot. The weight of the cast is incredibly heavy, and everything really depends on if the muscles graft and everything takes … I have to relearn how to bend my arm. I’m only allowed to bend my arm a couple of centimetres in each direction. “I haven’t seen my leg ... see FAMILY ■ A2

Accord ‘vital opportunity’ Continued from A1

The “health accord is a really vital opportunity for the prime minister and the premiers to meet and talk about health care,” she adds. It “gives an opportunity for the premiers just to say what’s working, what’s not working, and it gives an opportunity for the federal government to look at the provinces and say, ‘You need to be committed to the Canada Health

Act, you need to deliver your services within accordance to the act and this is where we’re seeing that you’re failing to m e e t HEALTH certain benchmarks or targets.’” She adds privatization of health care is “certainly” a concern. “When you underfund health care, of course, when you remove government,

there’s lots of room for privatization, and private investment and corporations who are going to deliver services for p r o f i t ,” s h e says, adding what future health-care services could look like was also discussed at the meeting. “It was a conversation about what are the services that you can access today? What are

yet, but there’s some brutal scarring,” she noted last week. Wells explained the family is excited to be able to come home, although they are “absolutely terrified to leave the support of the medical team at the hospital.” After she was struck, Burton remained in a blackberry bush for approximately four hours until Brody Fullerton heard her screams for help. Fullerton, who was on his boat across the water near the Cour-

tenay Airpark, took out his flashlight and examined the brush, thinking someone might have been lost. He took his bike and

searched the bushes for Burton’s voice, and found her about 45 minutes later. Wells said Molly is especially excited about her plans to meet Fullerton in person. ••• The 16-year-old Comox Valley teen identified as the suspect in the hit-and-run is scheduled to make his first appearance in court Dec. 12, charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

the services we’d like to be able to access? How do we expand the public Medicare system to make sure that everybody, regardless of where they live or what age they’re at, has access to the care they need?” Townhall meetings continued this week, with one in Campbell River Wednesday, and one in Port Hardy set for Thursday. The campaign in Vancouver Island North is one of three pilot campaigns in the country, with pilots also in Prince Edward Island and Kamloops. A broader national campaign is planned in 2014.

Water proposal made to CVRD Scott Stanfield Record Staff

THE MOUNT WASHINGTON Alpine Resort has some things to brag about for the coming season. PHOTO COURTESY MOUNT WASHINGTON ALPINE RESORT

This mountain is on the move Earle Couper Record Staff

Just as every snowflake is unique, each new snow season at Mount Washington Alpine Resort brings improvements and upgrades designed to optimize each visitor’s experience. There’s plenty new at Mount Washington for 2013-14, beginning with the relocation and expansion of the Tube Park. “We have literally packed up the old Tube Park and moved it across the mountain,” said resort media and brand director Brent Curtain. “The project brings major enhancements to the mountain’s tubing experience and the benefits of the $750,000 expansion are two-fold,” adds Don Sharpe, director of business operations and marketing. “First, the new Tube Park elevates the entire tubing experience at the mountain. Tubers will enjoy easier access with the new location right beside the Alpine Lodge,” Sharpe said.

“In addition, a new Magic Carpet lift will bring tubers to the top of the hill, increasing uphill capacity to a whopping 2,000 riders per hour.” As well, the mountain’s popular beginner zone, Easy Acres, gets a terrain expansion by turning the previous Tube Park site

legendary powder stashes found on Mount Washington’s north-facing backside,” said Curtain. Tours include avalanche gear and guiding with an Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG) professional. Rookie Year The Rookie Year is a new,

into a new green run. “This final phase completes the Easy Acres development which provides learners with a total of six wide, perfectly-groomed runs and five Magic Carpet lifts,” Curtain said. Get Guided This winter, Mount Washington is partnering with Island Alpine Guides (IAG) to bring skiers and boarders an exciting new backcountry opportunity. “IAG will offer backcountry tours, twice daily, to the

ground breaking all-inclusive season pass designed specifically for kids who are first-time skiers and boarders. Unique to Mount Washington, Curtain says the new Rookie Year season pass will surely become an industry standard for getting kids on snow. “The simplicity of the Rookie Year pass speaks for itself – rookie (never-ever) skiers and boarders receive an unlimited season pass, get unlimited ski or snowboard rentals, plus receive

unlimited afternoon group lessons in Mountain Kids – all season long.” Slide and Glide Also new is a Slide and Glide program for kids, who can take advantage of a new full-day snow school option at the mountain. “What’s better than a full-day of sliding and gliding? Nothing of course!” Curtain said. The new Slide and Glide program provides a ski or board lesson to glide you through the morning, then an afternoon of supervised sliding in the Tube Park in the afternoon. For more information on what’s new for the 2013-14 winter season at Mount Washington Alpine Resort, contact Media Relations at 250792-0002. ••• Look for the Mount Washington Experience Guide Winter 13.14 to be distributed in Black Press newspapers up and down Vancouver Island on Oct. 10 and 11.

A group of Area B residents have proposed a rate structure for water use in rural areas, which they say will compare favourably to Courtenay and Comox while meeting financial and conservation goals of the regional district. Appearing at Monday’s Electoral Area Services Committee meeting, the group suggests residents in Areas B and C who use a minimum amount of 180 cubic metres of water pay the ‘Comox rate’ of $327 per year. Those exceeding the minimum allowance to a maximum of 800m3 pay the ‘Courtenay rate’ of $440 per year. The group also proposes surcharging $1.24 per cubic metre to those who use more than 800m3 to discourage excessive water consumption. “Why are we paying so much for water?” Dave Mellin said. “Why are we at $435 with another rate increase? We feel it needs to be fair to everyone.” The CVRD’s mock billing program for water meters is nearing an end. Five mock bills were to be mailed, the last one in September. The purpose of the project is to decrease consumption and to improve the chances of obtaining government grants and water licenses, among other benefits. The CVRD implemented the program in the Arden, England Road, Greaves Crescent, Marsden/Camco and other water local service areas in late-2011 when the water metering project was completed. Mellin’s mock water bill shows a $750 charge. “We enjoy our properties and work hard to make them attractive,” said Tim

Rabbitt, noting rural yards and gardens require a certain amount of water. Phil Harrison said Comox and Courtenay each “use a lot of water,” but senior manager of engineering services Marc Rutten said rates cannot be standardized across the Valley because jurisdictions operate separate water systems and determine their own costs. The committee approved the following recommendations for residential that will appear before the CVRD board for adoption Oct. 29: • $22.17 flat monthly fee up to 15 cubic meters per month; • Tier1 charge of 64 cents per cubic metre over 15 m3 up to 45 m3 per month; • Tier 2 charge of 79 cents per cubic metre over 45 m3 per month. This amount has decreased from 95 cents per cubic metre, with which residents had taken issue. In a recent interview, Rutten said only 50 or 100 of 1,500 district residents would receive a yearly bill of $800 or $900. The lowest consumers of water, on the other hand, would pay less than $250 per year. According to the mock bill program, 900 residents were below the Tier 1 line and 1,400 below the Tier 2 line in winter. In spring and fall, 750 moved into Tier 1 and 350 into Tier 2. About 1,000 households will pay the same or less for water under a metered billing system than with the current flat rate system, according to the district. About 300 households will pay the base amount of $266.04 per year, which provides a savings over the current $435 flat fee.

Time has come to discuss housing Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The Comox Valley Housing Task Force hosts a free community forum on affordable housing and homelessness this coming Wednesday at the Filberg Centre in Courtenay. The day-long event — Building Housing Solutions Together — will address the importance of adequate housing, as well as health and wellbeing in the community. Along with panel discussions featuring experts from around Vancouver Island, the forum provides the public with an opportunity to share opinions and ideas. “The intention of the day is to be a conversation so that people are learning, and they’re also participating and voicing their opinions and concerns,” said Courtenay Coun. Ronna-Rae Leonard, who chairs the Comox Valley Housing Task Force. “And helping build housing solutions.” Leonard was inspired to pursue the forum after hearing a presentation at council from Lake Trail student Rachael Jancowski, who founded a non-profit organization called Gimme Shelter to help homeless individuals. “We want to make sure a broad range of the community will come out,” Leonard said. “We want to keep it family-friendly. We’re interested in building solutions; we’re not interested in increas-

ing tensions.” The itinerary includes five panel discussions: • 11:15 a.m. Building Capacity Grant Recipients: The task force dispersed $75,000 in grant funds last year to build community capacity to address homelessness. Recipients, including the Denman Land Trust, will discuss their achievements through this fund. • 12:30 p.m. Understanding the Issues: How does the lack of affordable housing impact the health and well-being of individuals and the community? Looking at the housing continuum, from outreach to market options, experts will discuss practices such as Housing First, supportive housing, transitional housing and emergency shelters. Speakers include Vancouver Island Health Authority medical health officer Charmaine Enns, Brad Crewsons of Pacifica Housing and representatives from BC Housing. • 3:15 p.m. Working Together, Challenges and Successes: Leaders from Island communities will discuss com-

mon challenges and successes. “We want to have a conversation about the potential for a ‘super regional approach,’” Leonard said. “Particularly homeless populations do tend to be more mobile, more transient. What happens in one community will impact another community. So how can we work better together?” The panel includes Marika Albert from the Social Community Planning Council in Victoria. • 4:30 p.m. Project Development and Gaining Acceptance:

Moving forward on housing projects can be complex. Experts will discuss project development and ways in which communities can work together to support affordable housing development. BC Housing, a social planner from Nanaimo and Kevin Albers of the M’akola Housing Society will speak. • 7:15 p.m. Alternative Housing — The Art of the Possible: What are some affordable housing options? How can we increase our affordable housing stock? How can we build a community

where everyone has a home? Representatives from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation will provide examples of innovative ways of building housing. In addition, Sandra Hamilton will discuss social enterprise and how it relates to building affordable housing. The event includes a 2 p.m. play by the Black Top Players of the Eureka Support Society, and a 6 p.m. performance by Erik (Ice Blue) Eriksson. The task force welcomes participation from developers.

Rental units needed in city

RCMP REPORT Week of October 1-7, 2013

Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Courtenay council gave first and second reading Monday to a zoning amendment bylaw that would permit 94 rental apartment units at Cliffe Avenue and Anfield Road. Crowne Pacific Development proposes to divide the Acadia on the Walk project into a pair of 47-unit buildings at the south end of Cliffe, offering a gateway to the city’s trail network. The suites will be a mix of two and three bedrooms, renting for $900 to $1,100 per month. In her two decades on council, Coun. Starr Winchester said she has not seen anything of this quality come forward in terms of housing developments. Mayor Larry Jangula said the proposal is needed and “very affordable.” Coun. Jon Ambler likes the location, noting tenants won’t necessarily need to own a vehicle.

THE WEST COAST Women’s Show focused on the fairer gender. The annual event at the Comox Community Centre included seminars, exhibitors, jewelry and fashion.

Food hub suggested here Renee Andor Record Staff

The Comox Valley is on its way to establishing one of three pilot co-operative food hubs in the province with help from the B.C. Cooperative Association (BCCA). According to Rick Juliusson, who is a consultant for the association’s Local Food Hub Co-op project, the hope is that food hub co-ops in the Cowichan Valley, Comox Valley and Kootenays will inspire other food producing communities to develop their own. “Also, we’ll have shown them how it’s done,” he added, after a community dialogue meeting Thursday in Courtenay. “Right now, I’m finishing a feasibility study in the Cowichan Valley and that’s going to form the basis of the work we do here. So, all the background stuff — research on models in other places, some financial models — will already be done. “So now, here locally, we fill in the local details; who are the major purchasers here, what are the unique characteristics here, so it’s still going to be their own plan, but a lot of that background research is done.” Juliusson met with

Comox Valley farmers last Thursday to discuss the idea of a food hub co-op, whether one is needed for the Valley, ideas for how it could work and potential pros and cons. According to the BCCA website, many new consumer food co-

ops are cropping up around B.C., but this pilot project focuses on addressing the challenges small-scale farmers face. The project is based on the U.S. model of food hubs, which look at not only supply, marketing and distribution, but also “consumer and producer education and support for community food security initiatives.” Comox Valley farmer Arzeena Hamir, who owns Amara Farm, is interested in creating a food hub co-op here. She joined forces with Ripple Farm this year, creating Merville Organics, and together the two farms supply

duce at the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market, too, but she says she would have extra if she only sold there because, “There’s a ceiling in the Comox Valley as to how many people purchase at the market.” On the flip side, she says she doesn’t have enough product to supply grocery stores or institutions by herself, or even with Ripple Farm via Merville Organics. “They need a consistent supply over a long period of time,” explains Hamir. “And for each of us, maybe we can only supply one day, but together, we could all do year-round kind of thing.”

Hamir says Comox Valley farmers need some more infrastructure, and a centralized cold storage they could share is one idea that came up at the meeting. Another idea was to have one person who works as a liaison between farmers and local grocers and restaurant owners to increase local food supply. “We’ve come up with some ideas that are easy, that we could probably start implementing tomorrow,” she says, noting many farmers don’t really like group work, preferring instead to focus on growing produce on their farms. “So, there has to be something easy, something that’s not going to cost us very much time or energy or money, and then everybody’s on board.” Juliusson will compile the list of ideas and e-mail the attendees to see who is interested in forming a working group for the project. Once a working group is formed it would start on some of the most popular ideas that came out of the meeting. For information about the Food Hub Co-op project, visit www.bcca.coop/foodhub.

LAND OF PLENTY

A History of the Comox District

Early Mining in the Comox Valley (cont'd.):

Baynes Sound Coal Mines Company to Union Coal Company

Continued from Oct. 3, 2013 To carry the coal down to Baynes Sound, the company constructed a 36-inch narrow gauge tramway which was about three and a half miles in length. At the shore of the sound, a wharf 410 feet in length was constructed from the highwater mark out to a point where six fathoms of water provided adequate depth for the berthing of even the largest oceangoing vessels of the day. Two vessels could be loaded simultaneously. The deck of the wharf stood 25 feet above highwater mark and it must have been a very imposing structure. The main coal bunkers were located inland at the mines and could hold up to 1,200 tons of coal. There was also a storehouse and other surface buildings there. By October of 1876, the mine was ready to begin production of its fine steaming coal, and on November 1 the first loads went down to the wharf over the tramway. In two months of operation, the company produced 600 tons of coal with 98 tons being sold locally. Unfortunately, difficulties in the San Francisco coal market, the company's main source of sales, left the firm with 500 tons in the bunkers for sale at the year-end. Soon, a townsite was surveyed and named Quadra in honour of the Spanish explorer who first visited the area in the late 1700s. There was a hotel, saloon, post office and store â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all the trappings of a pioneer community. Quadra became the main centre for the populations of Denman and Hornby Islands as well as the adjacent mainland, and was a port of call for the weekly coastal steamer. In spite of a surplus of coal in the bunkers at year-end, production at the mines continued into 1877 and averaged about 50 tons a day. Unfortunately, the San Francisco market, principal outlet for all of the Vancouver Island coal mines, remained depressed due to competition from other sources. Production at the Baynes Sound mines slowed to a halt, and the company was left with 1,500 tons on hand at the end of the year. In spite of the slump in the coal market,

other developments were taking place on the property. The steam sawmill, which had been built to supply timbers for mine and railway construction, continued to produce up to 10,000 board feet of lumber per day which found a ready local market. More buildings for the company and cottages for the miners were constructed and some of the cut was sold elsewhere in the neighbourhood. One of the most interesting features of the operation was the mine tramway which wound its way down to Baynes Sound over a circuitous route. The rolling stock consisted of a tiny eight and a half-ton Baldwin locomotive and 21 four-ton coal cars. The tramway could deliver up to 300 tons of coal to wharfside in a 10-hour day. During this period, the company employed 42 white and 13 Chinese, who received only half the amount for the same work. The coal was extracted from what had become known as the Gaston Seam and was of exceptional quality for steaming purposes. Sadly, the slump in the coal market continued, but development work in the mines continued for awhile and the main tunnels reached a point 40 feet in from the surface. Production finally ceased at the mine in 1878, but exploratory work was carried on for a time. Soon even that work ceased, and the Baynes Sound Coal Mines Company ceased to exist except as a memory in the minds of a few oldtimers along the Sound. A second mining company, with claims on Bradley Creek behind Union Bay, was known as the Perseverance Coal Company. Their tunnel into the coal seam was called the Beaufort Coal Mine. Showing foresight, this company claimed Union Bay as the port from which to ship its coal. The trail to the minesite, located in the Jap Mountain region, was well known as the Perseverance Trail to local residents such as Lou Cliffe. Lou Cliffe reports that: The Perseverance Trail was built just as soon as the road from Royston to Union was com-

pleted to open up some coal workings behind the Beaufort range. A camp was kept there and a tunnel driven into the face, but the workings were stopped when Union developed so well. Transfers of shares in the Perseverance Coal Company were made as early as 1867. This mine did not get beyond the early exploration stage before its holdings were bought by Robert Dunsmuir in January 1888.

Union Coal Company The third coal mining group in the Comox Basin was to select the site for the very productive Cumberland coal mines. Formed as an unincorporated partnership, the Union Coal Company took out Mining Licence Number 6 under the Mineral Ordinance in 1869.

The Companies Register, 1862-'71, indicates that the original Union Coal Company consisted of eight partners who divided 110 shares at $200 apiece, thus capitalizing at $22,000. Of the partners, four were miners from Nanaimo, two were farmers, and the remaining two were a master mariner and a merchant from Victoria. As this company hoped to supply coal to the Union Pacific Railroad, they used the word "Union" in their name. By the fall of 1871, the group had explored the seams on Coal Creek, and completed some miles of right-of-way for a tramway to Royston on which they proposed to move coal to Port Augusta. By 1874, membership in the group had changed. Their Crown Grant was surveyed by George Drabble upon the Dec. 15, 1873 request of Robert Beum of the Lands and Works Department in Victoria. Drabble surveyed a coal reserve of 2,500 acres from which the Union Coal Company could select and purchase 1,000 acres. The rectangular-shaped property selected actually contained 1,016 acres including a portion of Coal Creek. Coal mining was a speculative venture in the 1860s and '70s, demanding much capital investment to bring properties into production. Small groups could not raise sufficient funds to develop mines, hence individuals often sold their shares, or groups their claims, to larger, well-financed coal companies.

niC student bets on geology Future geologist Ian Betts develops rock solid career choice with dual admission When Ian Betts graduated from high school, he was a lot like other students: bright, eager to learn, and not entirely sure what he wanted to study at university. A year later, Ian knows he wants to go to UVic and study geology — a decision not possible without North Island College’s UVic Dual Admission program. Through geology, he can specialize in mineral exploration, environmental consulting, hydrology, or oil and gas, when he’s ready. “I enjoy being active and outdoors,” Ian said. “Geology is a nice combination of field and office work.” In high school, Ian knew he’d like to work in the sciences but didn’t know where to start. He thought about

“I found out I’m really interested in the integrated sciences,” he said. “I want something that incorporates all the core sciences and uses that knowledge to solve an issue or attack a problem.” Before entering NIC, he was faced with a choice of leaving home or attending university. He spoke to friends who graduated before him. They confirmed what he read about NIC’s small class sizes and access

Through Dual Admission, Ian is earning first and second-year credit at UVic, without paying higher tuition and rent. “Dual Admission is a great way to save money and try courses while I focus on my studies and confirm what I really want to do,” he adds. After two years, he’ll enter his third year of a Bachelor of Science degree at UVic, where he’ll get the credentials to register as a professional geologist. “I chose UVic because it had the dual admission agreement with NIC,” Ian said. “Easy access to both institutions is a huge benefit.

Culture bylaw possible Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Members of the regional district’s Electoral Areas Services Committee approved recommendations Monday to consider a bylaw to establish an arts and culture grant service to provide funding to societies and non-profits that own or operate arts or culture facilities at sustainable levels. Pending adoption by the CVRD board, the service would be subject to public approval by way of the alternative approval process. Proposed recipients of ongoing, consistent annual funding include the Comox Valley Art Gallery, Arts Council, farmers’ market, Pearl Ellis Gallery, Sid Williams, and Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland museums. Combined recommended funding for 2014 would be $35,000, increasing to a maximum of $70,150 at the end of a five-year agreement. The Sid would receive the largest amount, going from $10,000 to $25,000. “I’m very, very pleased to see it moving forward,” Area C director Edwin Grieve said. Although he would prefer a regional system, Grieve said it is reassuring to provide stable funding. ••• Changes to federal regulations intend to shift production of medical marijuana from residential sites to large-scale, commercial facilities. Local governments can regulate the use and location of facilities, but not prohibit the use outright. Grieve applauds government for taking a stand on the issue, noting smells and other aspects of illegal grow ops infringe on neighbouring properties. He is concerned, however, about taking it out of the hands of small entrepreneurs and into the hands of industry. Staff will report back next year with recommendations on further steps in the local implementation of Health Canada’s new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulation. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Yoga quest continues Leslie Eaton

Record Staff

Whew! Between handling my work schedule and getting the ‘SadFace’ from my dog, balance has been a bit tough to achieve but I’m working on it with lots of thanks to family, work and friends. After a very difficult yoga class, I sat down with the instructor to admit that I was having difficult time. His gently put reply was that it is supposed to be challenging, and that is why we feel so great when we have completed a class. He asked me to think about what daily chal-

lenges we have erased from our lives in the past 150 years and how easy we have made our lives. It may have been the exhaustion causing me to have one of those hallucinatory moments, but I could swear I heard a little ‘DING’ go off in my head. The 1990s brought us instant communication with the Internet and affordable computers, the 1980s the remote control, farther back are dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, heating at the touch of a dial, vehicles, electric lights, indoor plumbing — most of which are for conve-

nience and have made our lives less challenging. Now, I’m not about to give up my bathroom or my laundry machines, but with a bit of reflection I have a newfound gratitude that my life is easier, that we live in an amazing age, and possibly that pile of laundry staring me down isn’t such a big deal after all. I am grateful that through hard work and support from friends, family and community that I can choose my challenges. Leslie Eaton has embarked on a yoga workout a day for a month in a quest for fitness. This is Week Two.

Did You Know... Following a rehabilitation program is very important to your legal case. In law, the plaintiff (injured party) has an obligation to mitigate his or her losses. This means the plaintiff must take reasonable steps to minimize the losses he or she suffers by following the doctor’s advice regarding treatment and getting back to work as quickly as possible. By following a coordinated rehabilitation program, the client will be able to show the court he or she has made best efforts to improve injuries and function. Rehabilitation programs often involve the input of your family doctor, an occupational therapist or physiotherapist. Your personal injury lawyer must work with your doctor or physiotherapist (as well as other medical treators) to identify a reasonable rehabilitation program for your situation.

BIG CITY EXPERTISE

MP Libby Davies, deputy leader and health critic for the federal New Democrats, will be guest speaker at the Comox Valley NDP annual fall dinner Oct. 19. Davies says one of the biggest concerns she will address is the need for more accountable government. “Stephen Harper has prorogued Parliament yet again, and Christy Clark has decided to avoid a fall session of the provincial legislature,” she said. “In the meantime, British Columbians aren’t getting action on key issues like the Enbridge pipeline and the Senate scandals. “I think it’s wrong for governments to dodge tough issues by simply shutting down Parliament. At both the federal and provincial level, British Columbians aren’t getting the accountability they deserve.

“This makes it more important than ever for people to get involved and speak out.” Davies’ visit to the Comox Valley will take place just days after Parliament finally resumes, and her talk will include recent news from Ottawa. The dinner will be at the Filberg Centre in

Local Boys, Girls Club lands new event manager Communications, social media profile to be updated

Mary Ruth Harris is the new Comox Valley event manager for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island (BGCCVI). “Mary Ruth’s extensive background in media, communications and event management combined with her passion and enthusiasm, will be a considerable asset to our club,” says director Robin Smart. “The BGCCVI is looking towards 2014 to update our overall communications, our social media presence and communication materials, digital and print.” Mary Ruth will continue as host of Shaw TV’s go! Island on channel four Tuesdays and Fridays, and she is a newly appointed director on the board for the Comox Valley Child Development Association. Her first big challenge for the BGCCVI will be the Christmas Village brought to you by Odlum Brown at Crown Isle from Dec. 2 to 16. “I’m thrilled to be working with such a talented group of people on behalf of the children and families that benefit from the amazing programs offered by the Boys and Girls Clubs,” Harris reacts. “I am very excited about this year’s Christmas Village and cannot wait to see the creative entries ... really curious to see who is going to have the most unique gingerbread house creations and who is going to have the most adorable bear and who will come up with the most sought-after package! The silent auction is going to be fierce!” The BGCCVI is the largest licensed child-

care provider on Vancouver Island that specializes in programs that support child and youth development. In the Comox Valley, the group offers Before and After school-care programs at Aspen Park Elementary, and Brooklyn Elementary as well as spring, summer and winter day camps and facilitating innovative parenting programs. For further information on the Boys & Girls Clubs, visit www. bgccvi.com, phone 250338-7582 or e-mail

where our food comes from, shopping at our local farmers’ market, or reading up on food-related issues, we are all increasing our understanding about food and food issues. These conversations are not just happening locally. They are happening across our country and around the world as we face the challenges of growing populations, transportation costs, climate change, natural disasters, health issues, poverty and the loss of the family farm. These conversations are all part of a concept called food security. “Food security exists when everyone has safe, healthy food. This means globally, nationally, in our communities, in our homes and during emergencies,” explains Cynthia Fitton, executive director of LUSH Valley. “Food security is also about facing the threat of climate change and working to make sure we have sustainable ways to meet local and global food demands in the future. Food security is also about addressing poverty issues. “Many families and individuals in our own communities, including many seniors and children, lack the resources to access safe, nutritious and culturally appropriate food. That’s why we’re coordinating World Food Week Comox Valley.” What is World Food Week Comox Valley all about? The United Nations declared Oct. 16 World Food Day to encourage education and action about food secu-

rity issues around the world. Here in the Comox Valley, the goal of World Food Week is to increase local knowledge and inspire efforts to achieve local food security. Did you know? We are facing a serious food security issue in B.C. Farmers are aging and there are not enough young farmers with the resources to be able to replace them. Farmland prices are astronomical, and yet there is a growing understanding that locally grown food is essential not only for our health, but for our economic security. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than here on Vancouver Island. Many want to come here to live, play and retire but not to farm the land. We used to grow more than 90 per cent of our food on this Island and now we import 95 per cent of it. One mega storm, one large earthquake and this Island has four days of food supplies on its shelves. Food security conversations are an important first step towards addressing this. Together we can work to support local growers, allow for urban agriculture initiatives and encourage government and decision makers to implement policy that will help increase opportunities for new farmers and food producers. ••• World Food Week Comox Valley is a community collaboration presented by the Comox Valley Food Round Table and LUSH Valley Food Action Society with support from the City of Courtenay, BC Healthy Communities, Comox Valley Record, Area C director Edwin Grieve, Comox Valley Farmers’ Market, North Island College Faculty Association, Sunshine Organics, EatDrinkComoxValley, Lake Trail Neighbourhood Connections, Mid Islanders for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, North Island Chefs’ Association, Comox Valley Growers and Seed Savers and many generous and hard-working local farmers and food producers.

The Comox Valley Doulas, VIHA Public Health and Vancouver Island Regional Library recently co-hosted a Global Quintessence Breastfeeding Count and Birthing Resources Fair. On Oct. 5, 22 mothers and infants bonded in blissful breastfeeding moments and were counted for this global event designed to bring awareness to breastfeeding benefits. About 30 families attended in total, enjoying various demonstrations including baby massage with Kirsten from Cumberland Therapeutic massage, an interactive storytime with Mary from Vancouver Island Regional Library, and an introduction to home birthing by Plum midwifery with Emma Gledhill. Attendees at the event in Courtenay had the opportunity to meet these and other birthing-related supports in our community. The Comox Valley Dou-

las wish to thank their community partners Healthy Babies, La Leche League, Public Health Nurses, Options Pregnancy Care Centre, Birth Tides Midwifery and Plum Midwifery, along with Baby Talk, and the Wachiay Friendship Centre for supporting mothers and families with various birthing and parenting related services. Over 16 attendees won a variety of donated door prizes geared toward expecting and young families, including gift certificates and products from local businesses. Thanks to Podlings, Laughing Oyster bookstore and several doulas for your generous donations of gifts, and special thanks to Thrifty Foods for delicious cookies and Starbucks for a mega tub of coffee.

Ellie Hebert is the 2013 Child Ambassador for the Comox Valley Child Development Association’s annual Children’s Telethon. As the Child Ambassador, Ellie is the ‘face’ of the telethon and represents the 800 local children and families who annually receive services at the CVCDA. The colourful, eyecatching poster captures a smiling Ellie with her mom Paula looking on during an Occupational Therapy session at the CVCDA. Ellie’s family was thrilled, saying “he Child Development Association has been so helpful for Ellie, we are really happy to do this in return.” This is the first year that a parent has been included in the photo.

means of genetic engineering (GE) to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The March Against Monsanto began as a posting on Facebook by a soccer mom who was worried about GMOs and how they might be affecting her children’s health. Her posting spread around the world with the result that the first March Against Monsanto became a reality May 25, 2013.

Salmon cash available Salmon enhancement volunteer organizations in the Courtenay/Comox region are being invited to apply for project funding from the Pacific Western Brewing (PWB) Community Foundation. The foundation has established a $20,000 fund to support grassroots salmon enhancement initiatives in British Columbia. Kazuko Komatsu, owner of the Prince George-based brewery, says: “When our representatives visit communities on the Coast they hear a common theme of concern about the pressing need to replenish our precious wild salmon stocks. Hundreds of tireless volunteers are working hard in B.C. communities to rebuild salmon stocks and rehabilitate streams. PWB wants to

FOUNDATION

help.” Applications should support the protection, conservation, enhancement or rehabilitation of Pacific salmon and their habitat. Projects can range from community-based stream keeping and habitat rehabilitation to the enhancement of salmon stocks. Applicants should represent volunteer based organizations and are asked to provide information that assures PWB that their organization is qualified to undertake a project. Relevant permits or letters of support from appropriate government agencies such as Fisheries and Oceans Canada should be included with the application.

To submit an application go to PWB’s website home page (www.pwbrewing.com) and follow the prompt. The PWB Community Foundation will be adjudicating requests for support this fall. Komatsu believes her brewery has a duty to give back to the community. She calls it “investing where we live.” True to her word she supports numerous initiatives including: Forests for Tomorrow a treeplanting campaign with a goal of planting one million trees by 2020; ongoing educational funding to the University of Northern BC and Simon Fraser University; Hometown Heroes and local sports. — Pacific Western Brewing (PWB) Community Foundation

FOUR GROUPS OF Grade 4 and 5 students from École Robb Road made their way with parent volunteers to Kye Bay and Cape Lazo for their annual beach cleanup. They were granted a beautiful Tuesday morning on Sept. 24. Their cleaning job didn’t seem to be a titanic effort at first but how wrong they were. With their team, they filled garbage bags with pieces of Styrofoam, rope, plastic containers, plastic bags, food wrappers, cigarette butts, fishing crates, etc. They rolled out tires and carried out construction material, giant Styrofoam monsters, and buoys. As they were doing all this, team members collected data which will be collated and sent to the Vancouver Aquarium, our regional co-ordinator for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. The kids were totally engaged and proud of their effort. It was also a fun way to play a scavenger hunt. However, they have also become more aware of the sad reality with the huge problem we have with our ocean pollution. The four groups picked up about 3,500 pieces of garbage, some very small, some as big as their desk. We are all part of the problem and the good thing is that we’re all part of the solution. Félicitation Robb Road!

THIS WEEK, CVRD area directors voted to give metered water customers a break if they use less water. However, Comox council is leading the pace on conservation by offering a free meter and only charging a record low

SCOTT BENNETT DEMONSTRATED the professionalism, integrity, and dedication to promote Helping Bridge The Technology Gap, which is the motto of the VanIsle IT Services. Since my laptop lost audio, I have tried all the solutions suggested on the Web. Having found How To Fix No Sound on the Web, I downloaded the DriverFinder, which indicated that it found 21 out-of-date drivers. Therefore, I paid $33.55 CAD for the service. When I called the telephone number that was provided to activate (1-888280-8048), the technician (working for the Advanced Tech Support) told me that my laptop needs not DriverFinder but Tune-Up service, which will cost more than $200 USD. Being frustrated with the result, I found the VanIsle IT Services located right here in Comox (250-941-8282). Scott detected the cause and fixed it in no time. Most remarkably, he explained that my laptop needs neither DriverFinder nor TuneUp services. He did not even charge for the service saying that, “He did not do anything,” which seemed to imply his philosophy of business: Helping Bridge The Technology Gap. Thank you so much!

BLESSINGS TO THE wonderful people at Island CPAP Services in Courtenay for all the help they provided, in regards to getting my CPAP machine adjusted to my current needs. I would especially like to thank Mike for all the time he spent listening to me, and solving my issue. I have been sleeping better because of the adjustments he made. And I didn’t even purchase my CPAP machine from them. I hope Island CPAP is a permanent addition to the Comox Valley. They can count on me for all my CPAP supplies in the future. Thanks again. WHAT A GREAT night! Texas Hold ‘Em, Blackjack, Roulette and more ‘funny money’ casino games were enjoyed by all who attended 4R’s Education Centre’s second Casino Royale fundraiser. 4R’s is very grateful for the generosity of local businesses who sponsored tables at the event or donated prizes and auction items. We couldn’t do it without you!

only damaged our vehicle; however, under slightly different circumstances it could have caused the loss of both of our lives and many others. For these reasons mentioned I am wondering what other people’s thoughts are about animals that cause severe damage to our vehicles and bodily harm. When I read about cougars attacking humans, I cringe. We also know that when apple season arrives we can expect bears at our property as it is on their shopping list. I don’t know what the total yearly damage is by just deer alone, but what I do know is that our damage over a period of seven years is about $6,800 paid by ICBC. I am thinking of a large fenced wildlife area, maybe like our provincial park up north. I know my thoughts are out of the box but not so long ago “No Smoking” was an out-of-the-box issue, too. Maybe it’s worth thinking about, because some of our loved ones might not be as fortunate as we were. •••

Meanwhile, Courtenay consumers pay the highest flat rate bill in the Valley ($440) and subsidize those Courtenay big-water consumers. Check the Comox website, on consumption rates. It seems that Courtenay council is the big holdout on meters and this will only push rates higher for Courtenay customers.

A culinary addition to the Comox Valley ingredients produced by local farmers and businesses. Manoja was born and raised in Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. She immigrated to Edmonton 13 years ago and has recently moved to the Valley. “In Edmonton I lived with my close relatives until I married my husband Sudeera. At the time, I studied and worked as a chemical technologist. Sudeera and I always wanted to move to British Columbia but never thought it would happen so fast. My husband had applied for a job in the Comox Valley and here we are today in such a beautiful community and environment. We are in awe of the ocean, mountains, forests, farm lands and breathtaking sceneries. The

Farmers’ Market is one of my favourite places to go because I get to meet and interact with local farmers and residents. Every Saturday I look forward to going to the market to cook and to trade with local farmers. It brings back many memories of my childhood. I grew up in a little village where everyone was connected and cared for one another. It is so great to live in a small community again and I feel so blessed to raise my two boys in such a loving, caring place.” Manoja has taken up the challenge to introduce Sri Lankan cuisine to the Valley and Vancouver Island. She has no doubt that residents will be bold to try new exotic tastes and flavours. Manoja plans to showcase Sri Lankan cuisine through Sri

Lankan feasts which will feature many traditional dishes, an art show and a beautiful presentation of the magical island of Sri Lanka. Manoja also plans to import world famous Ceylon black tea, red basmati rice and the finest spices including Ceylon cinnamon, known as ‘true’ cinnamon due to its sweeter, rich, delicate flavour. Most North American grocery stores sell Cassia cinnamon which contains high levels of coumarin, a substance that may cause liver or kidney damage when consumed regularly. Research shows that Ceylon cinnamon contains either undetectable levels or only traces of coumarin and recommend it for regular use. Manoja will make these products

CEYLON CUISINE AND Spices owner Manoja Gangodage is pictured with her family.

Manoja Gangodage, owner and chef of Ceylon Cuisine and Spices, is thrilled to introduce Sri Lankan cuisine to the Comox Valley. Manoja is a mother, a passionate cook and an entrepreneur. Ceylon Cuisine began in her kitchen where she combined exotic spices, herbs and coconut milk to create mouth-watering curries, unique appetizers, seafood dishes and many more. Manoja, who sells her cuisine at the Farmers’ Market, is often asked to describe Sri Lankan cuisine. “Sri Lankan cuisine is one of the most complex cuisines in South Asia,” Manoja said. “Its unique exotic taste is distinct from other South Asian cuisines. Due to its proximity to India, the cuisine of Sri Lanka shows some influence, but is easily distinct from Indian cuisine by the art of mixing a variety of spices and its unique cooking style. Most Sri Lankan dishes are made with coconut milk yet its unique exotic spiciness will hardly show any similarities to Thai cuisine. “My favourite Sri Lankan traditional dishes are fresh coconut sambol, mango curry, garlic curry, fish curry and hoppers.” Most dishes are made of unique vegetables such as bitter melon. The most popular food at the Farmers’ Market is the pancake roll made with fresh caramelized coconut. Although Manoja uses exotic ingredients, she also uses fresh, local

Who’s being a bully? Attention employers, you have less than a month to establish policies around bullying and harassment, or face the wrath of WorkSafe B.C. If you noticed the irony in that statement, good, because it’s just so ironic that one of the biggest bullies in the province is going to dictate antibullying policy to the rest of us. On Oct. 1 WorkSafe announced policy changes on bullying and harassment. It defines bullying and harassment as any action which: a. includes any inappropriate conduct or comment by a person towards a worker that the person knew or reasonably ought to have known would cause that worker to be humiliated or intimidated, but b. excludes any reasonable action taken by an employer or supervisor relating to the management and direction of workers or the place of employment. Most of us understand that WorkSafe is trying to educate the working public that bullying and harassment are unacceptable. Most of us take that as a given and work in an environment where people behave with courtesy and professionalism towards others. Others aren’t so fortunate, but we wouldn’t be relying on WorkSafe B.C. to “save the day” if you’re working in a bad place. WorkSafe does not plan an “enforcement blitz.” Rather, the provincial body will respond to enquiries and complaints – but not all – and will rely on inspectors to ferret out workplace bullies. As well, a victim first needs to file an in-house report before any action, if any, is taken by WorkSafe. We wonder how that will go over when you hand the complaint to the supervisor who’s named in the same report? The other difficulty we have in WorkSafe overseeing this is its own track record. We’ve read far too many stories about injured workers who feel “bullied” by WorkSafe in regard to how they’re treated by case workers. We would rather have WorkSafe inspectors looking for unsafe practices that can result in real physical harm to employees. This is a tangible goal and that’s what they do best. Campbell River Mirror

CVRD monopoly like ICBC Dear editor, On Nov. 16 the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is holding a binding referendum offering a garbage and recycling service to residents of electoral areas A, B and C. According to the CVRD website www.comoxvalleyrd.ca the proposed service will allow one 80-litre garbage can per week and unlimited recycling. The cost will be approximately $150 per household per year for the first three years and there will be no opting out. The CVRD proposal requires households to reduce garbage to meet the goal of the Comox Strathcona Waste Management Plan, which is to divert 70 per cent of landfill material from the landfill. The CVRD staff report dated Sept. 20 details financial costs and billing. It states CVRD will require one new staff person on an ongoing basis and estimates the internal costs for this new service to be approximately $100,000 annually. It also states in regards to billing “the maximum requisition can now be set at the greater of 40 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value or $1.3 million. “Despite the ability to requisition funds through taxation, the financial plan generates revenue through user fees in the form of a utility bill. For the years 2014 to 2016 (being the length of the proposed contract with BFI Canada,

Inc.), the owners of each eligible dwelling who will receive the garbage and recycling collection service will be charged a utility bill of approximately $150 each year.” CVRD controls garbage service on Denman and Hornby islands, and residents are charged for this service on their taxes as per assessed value of their property. If this referendum is passed it is highly likely that, after 2016, residents of electoral areas A, B and C will also be billed as per assessed value of their property. It is unfair that households that receive the same service as their neighbours can be charged two or three times as much simply due to their property being assessed at a higher value. What is being proposed is not a comparable service with that offered by private garbage companies. Private companies allow two 121-litre garbage cans (the ones with wheels) weekly. They also offer bi-weekly, monthly and partial-year service. This flexibility allows those who produce very little garbage, those on a fixed income or snowbirds to choose their level of service. And, most importantly, if the cost increases or service declines, customers can cancel the service and contract another company. The purpose of the referendum is to enable CVRD to directly

control how much garbage goes to the landfill. If approved it means mandatory recycling and residents will bear the additional cost of taking excess garbage to the landfill and some will dump it in the woods, compounding an existing problem. Is 70-per-cent diversion from the landfill reasonable or necessary? If it is, it could be achieved at lower cost through private garbage service. I am in full support of reducing landfill, and believe that all residents should recycle. In our household we recycle, use three composters and usually put out one garbage can for pickup. The cost and effort of dropping off recycling is minimal since the recycling depots are conveniently located. I don’t agree that a CVRDcontrolled service is in the best interest of residents due to lack of competition and unfair policies. Anyone who thinks a government-controlled monopoly will provide better service at lower cost has not been paying attention — think ICBC. If this proposal is implemented the option of private service will be gone forever. It is important to vote since only those who vote will have a say in the outcome of the referendum. It will be passed with a 50 per cent plus one yes vote. Ron Seabrook, Merville

LETTER-WRITER TERRY ROBINSON and some friends protested the federal government’s FIPA agreement outside MP John Duncan’s office in Courtenay.

Time to protest poor FIPA deal

Dear editor, Some friends and I stood outside John Duncan’s office in Courtenay on Sunday to protest the proposed Canada-China Foreign Investment and Protection Agreement (FIPA). I stood up because Prime Minister Stephen Harper is trying to pass one of the most dangerous investor deals in Canadian history. This FIPA threatens our sovereignty and prosperity. This extreme deal would let China’s companies sue the Canadian government in secretive tribunals if they believe we’re doing anything to limit their expected profits, even passing commonsense laws to protect our jobs and our communities. The investor deal would lock us in for 31 years and pave the way for a massive buyout of Canada’s resource companies,which, given the response to the Nexen sale to a state-owned Chinese corporation, most Canadians apparently oppose. I care too much about the future of this country to sit idle and let our government make reckless decisions behind closed doors. I felt compelled to stand up and join the growing number of people across the country, and across party lines, who are speaking out. As our members of Parliament prepare to return to Ottawa for the fall session, we need to stand together to make this a major issue for the Harper government and show them how much Canadians value our democracy and our sovereignty. You can learn more about this secretive and extreme deal at www.leadnow.ca/stopTerry Robinson, Courtenay fipa.

Seeing his true colours Dear editor, Re: Comox Valley Peace Group “Talk will update Israel/Palestine situation” (Record, Oct. 8). Flotilla activist Jim Manly was only interested in confrontation, not aid; violence, not peace when he tried to generate international headlines by trying to breach the blockade of the Gaza Strip. The Estelle’s voyage was a publicity stunt for his anti-Israel agitprop. Their “humanitarian aid” consisted of soccer balls, musical instruments and toys, which were to be sent to Gaza at a time when the Red Cross, United Nations, and even Hamas acknowledge that there was no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Thanks to Israeli efforts, Gazans have ample supplies of basic necessities and consumer goods, and are currently experiencing an economic boom and good standards of living. In fact, the UN Palmer Report confirmed the legality of Israel’s sea blockade, which is designed to

prevent the transfer of dangerous weaponry to the Hamas terrorist regime, the wisdom of which has been repeatedly demonstrated. For example, in March 2011, Israel seized 50 tonnes of weapons aboard the Syrian vessel, the Victoria. The Estelle’s attempt to break the blockade went contrary to international law and was a dangerous provocation and a reckless act that drew a risk for unnecessary violence to ensue. How rich that former MP Jim Manly now tours Canada in an attempt to regale his audience with his accounts from the High Seas and the Canadian Boat to Gaza folks will surely persist with their anti-Israel provocations hoping that rhetoric will trump reason, but in the end, we trust that average Canadians will see their true colours.

Again look for the lesson, forgive and truly leave the experience behind.

The roots of compassion grow in the soil of forgiveness, acceptance and understanding. Choose to learn from an experience rather than making things worse or feeling helpless and stuck. One of the most prevalent things I hear from other Wiccans and Pagans is they wish for acceptance by society, yet we also have to look within and ask if we are not accepting of other faiths. Do we model the recognition and understanding that we wish to receive, or do we lash out in anger and judgement when someone opposes our path? Have you learned about other faiths, and do you understand why its followers may take their stand against you? Knowledge is strength. It’s not about winning them over to “your side”, it’s about tolerance and agreeing to disagree without causing conflict. On a personal level we can choose to have peaceful interactions, to realize that much public information related to Wicca and Paganism is based on fear and ignorance. We can change that. It may be as simple as mentioning a book if you hear someone is curious, or as bold as answering “Well, I am Wiccan,” in casual conversation, perhaps even inviting someone to ritual, or talking about the truth of Wicca. If you want to keep it secret that is fine too, just know when you strive to live in balance with an open mind and understand the Universal Laws and how to work with them, you are indeed a powerful compassionate force of change on the planet, and it will be noticed. We appreciate the support of our partner, the Comox Valley Record, for the space to publish this column.

Cadets tagging this Saturday This Saturday, you will find sea cadets wearing their black dress uniform and symbolic white top hat holding trays stationed in the entrance to many stores and malls throughout the Comox Valley. It’s part of the 189 Port Augusta Sea Cadets Tag Days. Tagging is an important fundraiser for this mainly free program, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary here in the Comox Valley. In exchange for a donation to the local sea cadet program you will be provided with a colourful sea-themed tag. Comox Valley Navy League treasurer Matt Behrens says, “Some of the program is funded in part by the DND, but at least $19,000 must be raised locally by the Navy League to fund the ‘fun’ stuff such as operating a sailing program for these local sea cadets. We thank Comox Valley residents for their generosity in advance.” The sea cadet program is a supervised program for youths aged 12 to 18 to learn seamanship skills from tying knots to sailing through the waves, navigation, powerboat operations, small boat sailing, marksmanship and first aid. Sea cadets learn leadership, teamwork, self-discipline, physical fitness and goal set-

ting in an environment where they have the opportunity to make new friends and cultivate lifelong friendships. Petty Officer Oressa Mathers-Cyr, a sea cadet in her fourth year, is enthusiastic in her comment when asked how she likes sea cadets, “It’s welcome! I’ve experienced and learned so much the past three years, it’s made me a better person, and the best part … I’ve been to places and made friends all across the country.” One aspect of the cadet program is to provide “service” to their community,

recently sea cadets conducted a food drive for the local food bank and last weekend they assisted in the JDRF Telus Scavenger Hunt held at Simms Park. Cadets provide community service at least

once per month and soon you will see them selling poppies. For more information about the program, visit www.189portaugusta. ca. — 189 Port Augusta Sea Cadets

The Comox Strathcona waste management (CSWM) service board of directors has approved a new fee structure for the disposal of waste at the Comox Valley and Campbell River waste management centres through the adoption of an updated bylaw. In June of this year, the CSWM board approved increasing fees effective Jan. 1. The increase from these tipping fees will be applied to capital improvements and the long-term care costs of the regional waste management facilities. “The board approved an increase for municipal solid waste from $90 per metric tonne to $100 per metric tonne and construction and demolition waste from $100 per metric tonne to $110 per metric tonne,” said Tom Boatman, CVRD’s manager of solid waste services. “Area residents dropping off loads weighing not more than 60 kilograms will still be charged the $4 minimum.” The updated fee structure categories offer diversion incen-

tives to help preserve landfill capacity for the future and are consistent with the regional solid waste management plan. For more information on the cur-

rent schedule of fees as well as those included in the updated bylaw, visit www.cswm.ca/ fees. — Comox Strathcona Waste Management

COURTENAY, B.C.

Contemporary novel updates tale of Hawaii Visiting American author will also conduct workshop while in the Comox Valley

Paula Wild Record Arts

The book cover says it all: beauty, romance, danger and intrigue. Daughters of Fire is a vortex of emotion, science and ancient cultural beliefs set in contemporary Hawaii. Author Tom Peeks is presenting a lecture Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. about his novel at the Courtenay and District Museum as well as a writing workshop on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “A friend of mine met Tom at a book fair in New York and gave him my name as a Canadian contact for his mainland tour,” says Deb Griffiths, executive director of the museum. “We had a great talk about how science and culture merge (volcanoes and worship of Pele),” she adds. “And how, in our areas of work, we see people resistant to viewing things more holistically, for example volcanologists not acknowledging the connections between natural wonders and cultural practitioners. Daughters of Fire delves into all that and it’s a murder mystery, too!” The story revolves around three women: a PhD anthropologist, an aging seer and a young activist, as well as a male astronomer visiting the island. As the relationship amongbetween four develops, molten hot lava in a long-dormant volcano rises to the surface and threatens a high-end resort. As tensions heighten, murder and political intrigue build towards an eruption of another kind on the lush island. Back in 1987, Hawaii was just another stop as Peek hitched rides on ships while taking a year off from research work at the University of Minnesota. But when he ran out of money he returned and found work, first as a mountain and astronomy guide in a remote area and later as a ranger on Kilauea’s active lava

Through my contact ❝ with the land and the

people connected to it, I soon realized that there’s more to Hawaii than meets the eye — more beauty and magic, and more threats to the islands and their native culture — than most people see.

land and the people connected to it, I soon realized that there’s more to Hawaii than meets the eye — more beauty and magic, and more threats to the islands and their native culture — than most people see.” Peek points out that the most popular novel about Hawaii is James Michener’s classic, now more than 50 years old. “I felt that a contemporary novel that dealt with the huge impacts of statehood and the resurgence of native Hawaiian culture was long overdue.” As part of his North American tour, Peek is visiting Oregon, Washington, California, B.C. and various locations in the Midwest.

In Courtenay he’s also presenting Empowered by the Pen. “The writing workshop is designed to foster personal empowerment through creative expression,” he explains. “The simple but powerful methods I use help people break down psychological and other barriers that impede their writing and encourages them to tap into their creative ‘right brains’ — the realm of imagination and deep insight. “ The workshop is suitable for novice as well as experienced writers and focuses on fun, provocative exercises to improve the honesty, emotion and depth of each person’s work. There is no critiquing of individual writing. Peek’s advice for prospective and practising authors: “Avoid over thinking when you write — have faith in your intuition and trust your wild mind. Respect your own truths — what you, yourself, have directly observed and appreciated in the world. Share with joy your stories with others, for whenever you write you are engaged in an ancient art practised by all cultures in all times — community storytelling.” The workshop is limited to 10 participants and pre-registration is required. Cost is $40 for museum members and $45 for non-members and includes refreshments. Daughters of Fire is available at the museum gift shop. Advance tickets for Peek’s lecture on Friday night ($5 for members, $6 for non-members) are recommended. To register for the workshop, purchase lecture tickets or for more information contact the museum at 250-334-0686 or visit the facility at 207 Fourth St. in downtown Courtenay.

Rave reviews precede quartet The New Orford String Quartet will perform this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in the Denman Island Community Hall. The quartet was recently acclaimed by the CBC as “Canada’s top string quartet.” In the short time since its creation in 2009, the New Orford String Quartet has seen astonishing success, giving annual concerts at the Orford Arts Centre for national CBC broadcast and receiving unanimous critical acclaim, including two Opus Awards for Concert of the Year. Hailed for their “ravishingly beautiful tone” as well as their “extraordinary technical skills

and musicianship” the members of the New Orford String Quartet are all principal players in the Montreal and Toronto symphony orchestras. The New Orford String Quartet’s debut CD of the final quartets of Schubert and Beethoven on Bridge Records received international acclaim; “one of the top CDs of 2011” (La Presse and CBC In Concert); Juno Award nomination 2012, “a performance of true greatness and compelling intensity ... stunning! (Audio Video Club of Atlanta); “flawless ... a match made in heaven!” (Classical Music Sentinel); “a performance of rare

intensity.” (Audiophile Audition); and “nothing short of electrifying ... listen and weep.” (The Toronto Star). Their Denman Island engagement is part of an extensive 16-concert Western Canadian tour including performances in Edmonton, Calgary, White Rock and Victoria. For the Denman performance, the ferry departs Buckley Bay at 2 p.m., allowing enough time for you to drive on the ferry, or ride as a walk-on with a 15-minute trek up the hill to the hall. Tickets can be purchased at Bop City Records in Courtenay (250-338-6621) or at the door.

Brides director imports expertise “Goin’ courting” has never been as much fun as in Rainbow Youth Theatre’s riproaring stage version of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The cast has been rehearsing every weekend since early September under the direction of Danette Bell with the assistance of one of Canada’s most famous musical theatre performers, Jeff Hyslop. Bell arrived at the first rehearsal in September accompanied by her colleague Hyslop with the exciting news that he had volunteered to assist her in directing for the first four weeks of rehearsals. Va n c o u v e r - b o r n Hyslop is indisputably one of Canada’s foremost performing artists. Equally masterful as a singer, dancer and actor, he has starred with unqualified success in such landmark musical productions as Cabaret, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Jacques Brel, The Music Man and The Producers. He perfected the role of Mike in both the London West End and Broadway productions of A Chorus Line and to many, he is the quintessential Phantom of the Opera, a role he embraced in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical for over 975 performances. Hyslop and Bell are longtime friends and associates who have worked together on numerous theatrical performances and are often asked to adjudicate festivals together. When Hyslop discovered that Bell was directing Seven Brides, with its numerous musical numbers and a cast of over 40, he immediately wanted to be a part of it. “I realized that this was a large undertaking with such a short rehearsal period and so I asked if she wanted any assistance, and she said yes,” said Hyslop. Bell welcomes Hyslop’s extensive theatre knowledge. “Jeff brings the per-

She goes on to say that the two of them work very well together. “We have the same vision and same ideas for making the show flow and because we have similar training backgrounds we work very well in tandem.” The two have been working hard at rehearsals every weekend and the cast has been appreciative of the expertise of Hyslop. “I was both surprised and pleased to have Jeff work with us, giving us his thoughts and ideas on how to make this a great show,” said Jeanette Harrison,

who has the role of the preacher’s wife in the play. “His gentle way of giving direction is appreciated.” Hyslop’s assistance to Seven Brides ended in late September and he is now travelling to Vancouver to direct the Performance House

Currently, the average age of farmers in North America is over 55, so it’s critical to encourage more young people to take up the plow. GROW! profiles a new crop of idealistic young farmers who have turned to the fields for a more fulfilling life, driven also by a strong desire to change how our food is grown. There is an emerging movement of young people who are leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Many are collegeeducated, and some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump.

The original idea is to see what happens in a band with no guitar or piano. We tried and got excited about the experience. Loose Gravel is Tony Morrison on sax and flute, Paul Nuez on trombone, Jay Havelaar on trumpet, James Lithgow on upright bass and Billy Street on percussion. We are excited for the opportunity to perform for you this Saturday at the Zocalo. Have you noticed the countless signs along local roadways announcing our arrival?

Leonardovna Knipper, a leading actress with the Moscow Arts Theatre, has unexpectedly arrived in Yalta — with the express intention of persuading him to propose to her. By turn comic, poignant, and full of fascinating anecdotes about Russian theatre, this play, based on Chekhov’s own correspondence and journals, offers wonderful insights into the life of one of the world’s greatest dramatists. This is CLT’s entry in the upcoming One Act Play Festival in Qualicum Beach at the Village Theatre from Oct. 22 to 27.

Waverley welcoming Turkish cabaret Oct. 18 Something About Reptiles has been opening hearts and playing music in its many incarnations since 1999. In 2013, Something About Reptiles features Burcu Ozdemir on vocals and tonguein-cheek English translations; Alison Jenkins on her magical accordion, clarinet and backup vocals; fierce percussionist Amrit Basion the darbuka and Noah Walker, master of surfTurk licks on his guitar. The seven-piece ensemble also includes Katheryn Petersen with her killer red accordion; Elliot Vaughan, a truly kind and gentle human with superman tendencies on his viola; and Michael Alleyne, a strong and serious standup bass player. Over the years, they did everything from jazz, country and folk festivals to restaurants, bars, theatre and private parties. • Ozdemir is a Turkish-Canadian singer, a mother and a vintage clothing magnate in her legendary Vancouver boutique Burcu’s Angels. With her band Something About Reptiles, she sings nostalgic and ironic pop songs steeped in Turkish motifs. Refusing to fall into what she affectionately calls, the “ethnic hole,” her band is thoughtful and unapologetic, yet encompasses all four directions. Not just east. • Basi is an indemand drummer/ multi-percussionist/ beatboxer who maintains a busy gigging and recording schedule in Canada with many projects and artists. Amrit accidentally joined Something about Reptiles 10 years ago when he walked in front of Burcu’s clothing shop. • Katheryn and her red accordion have been inseparable for years. Her accordion has taken her to Europe and through B.C. and Alberta with various different musical acts including Something About Reptiles, Blackberry Wood, Joanna Chapman Smith and Melissa Bandura. • Turned off by his experiences with classical violin and piano, it took Alleyne until he was in his teens to find his way back to music through what Kitchener at the time called “hardcore” or “hardcore punk.”

Noah is prolific around his Vancouver home as an in-demand sideman. Away from home, Walker is best known for his longtime collaboration with musical

madman C.R. Avery, touring extensively in North America and Europe over the past few years. • Vaughan is a composer and violist living and working in Vancouver. He plays regularly with his band The End Tree, Jay Malinowski’s The Deadcoast, string

quartet Four on the Floor, and of course the Reptiles. Elliot writes music for dance, theatre and concerts. • Jenkins is an actor, singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer. She plays accordion and clarinet with the Reptiles, who are just about to release their

second album. Alison spends her springs and summers in historical Barkerville, where she works as a performer/ musician for Theatre

BEHIND THE WHEEL

TIM

SCHEWE

Dealing with low sun

Welcome to fall! It’s the time of year that I have trouble driving to work in the morning. The sun is low in the sky to the east at the time of my commute and there is one spot on the highway where it shines directly into my eyes, making it very difficult to see. Worse still, this location has an intersection with a traffic light that can be completely obscured by the glare. The first line of defence is to keep my windshield as clean as possible. I use good wiper blades, winter washer fluid and top up the reservoir regularly. I also use a good quality glass cleaner on the inside of the windshield. It can be surprising how dirty the inside can get when the defroster is used. Dirt makes glare worse, so a clean view is a must. My sun visor and polarized sunglasses make up the second line of defence. These sunglasses can remove significant amounts of glare and are not to be confused with glasses that have anti-reflective coatings. The two are not the same. When they are not enough, I use the same trick that I use when I am avoiding headlight glare at night. I watch the edge of the lane so I know where I am. The last line of defence is to anticipate and slow down. This gives me more time to search out the traffic signals and make sure that I am not going to run a red light. Keeping in mind that drivers behind me are also affected by the glare I may choose to slow down before it is required so that I am not hit from behind. For more information on this topic, visit w w w. d r i v e s m a r t b c. ca. Questions or comments are welcome by e-mail to comments@ drivesmartbc.ca. Tim Schewe is a retired RCMP constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. His column appears Thursdays.

Sustainable food systems World Food Day is Oct. 16. Something to think about as we harvest our gardens. This is a day that was first dedicated in 1945 by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization to raise awareness of hunger and poverty throughout the world. Every year a different theme is chosen to promote a common focus towards an area requiring attention. The theme for 2013 is: Sustainable Food Systems for Food Security and Nutrition. It is all about food, food for all, food issues ... and it is worldwide. Good we think about it with a global population of over seven billion and still counting. That is a lot of mouths to feed. And so many are not being fed adequately. Can it even be done? First off, does everyone understand what a sustainable food system really is? It refers to a food system that will continue to be diverse and productive over a long period of time. Decades … even centuries with care. But that will only happen if we protect our food security. And who better to do that than each and every one of us. I mean that. We have to embrace the issues surrounding our food supply between where and how it is grown and how it winds up on everyone’s plates.

SADIE IS STILL learning proper garden etiquette. PHOTO BY JOHN COX

DUCHESS OF DIRT

LESLIE COX I do not think we can hope to have sustainable food systems in every single country without factoring in the security of food at its highest nutritional level. One thing I do know. There are many movements afoot that are making inroads in addressing these very issues globally. The Slow Food movement, the organic certification program, Seedy Saturdays (and Sundays), seed banks, local farmers’ markets, community gardens, and more. There are also groups lobbying governments to step up and help in such things as supporting small farmers and protecting food consumers

through proper labelling. Admittedly, not many battles are being won in that department but losses are proving not to be total defeat. Here in North America we are so lucky to have bountiful harvests. Is there anything you can do to make a difference in those countries less fortunate? Please think about it on Oct. 16. ••• On a lighter note, John and I would like to introduce our new garden greeter, Sadie. Judging by the fact her tail only stops wagging when she is sleeping, we think she will be the perfect greeter. But first off, Sadie needs to learn proper garden etiquette. Like staying out of the garden beds, no pruning the shrubs, no dividing the plants, no eating chestnuts. The biggest challenge is all the things

that go into her mouth. Have to watch her like a hawk because there are a surprising number of plants that are poisonous to pets. I already mentioned the chestnuts. They are starting to fall off the tree now and while they are more harmful to humans, cattle and goats I do not want to take a chance with our puppy. Certainly hostas are toxic with the saponins contained in the plant. Chewing these leaves will not kill Sadie but they will cause vomiting and diarrhea. But more on poisonous plants another column. This one is all about cute. Don’t you think? Leslie Cox co-owns Growing Concern Cottage Garden in Black Creek.

Clouds roll in – and depression does the same As the storms started last week, the sky darkened, and so did my feelings. I was feeling pretty good over the summer, as I usually do, but come September, I start feeling depressed. I used to think that it was just because I didn’t want to go back to school. I’ve been working for three years now, and I still find that come the fall, I start getting really depressed. Last year I was even having some thoughts of ending it all. As spring came, though, I kind of pulled out of it. Summer was great, and now it’s starting again. I just can’t have another winter like last year. Help. As you have only mentioned fall/winter as a difficult time, and not any other issues in your life that might cause depression, I’m going to presume that the fall/winter is the issue. It may be that you are one of the many people who are affected by something called SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder. In a nutshell, you experience a depression in the fall/winter, and not at other times. SAD is a recognized condition that is more common in women, but often more severe in men. It is also more common in our northern hemispheres, where there is less sunshine in the winter. SAD seems to be related to sunshine, so

hydrate foods and find they gain weight over the winter. Come spring, these things reduce and are eliminated, until the next fall. It is pretty gloomy, but there are things one can do to really improve the situation.

it is necessary to first eliminate the possibility of any other illness, so a trip to the doctor may be helpful. Your doctor will likely ask questions to determine that this depression has occurred at least twice in the fall/winter, with no other depression symptoms in between, and that there is no other explanation for the change in your mood. The usual symptoms for SAD can include this feeling of depression and hopelessness. Often people notice that they are not connecting with their friends, family, and usual activities in the winter. They may want to sleep more than they need, crave high-carbo-

brighter outside than inside, so getting outside is a really good thing — every day. A regular drive up the mountain, above the cloud line, will also make a difference. SAD Lights are high-intensity lights (your regular light bulbs will simply not do the job) that one can sit under for up to half an hour a day, which can dramatically reduce SAD.

Three times a week for at least 20 minutes will start making a difference. Eat well and regularly. It helps to regulate blood sugar levels, and with that mood. It also helps to address the tendency of SAD to get you to eat the highcarb foods rather than a balanced diet. Stay connected with friends, family, activities and routines, including bedtime. It helps. As well as these things, be aware that you are looking to make a difference to how you make your way through this winter. Rather than expecting that everything will be great, look for improvements from last year and build on them each year. Many people also benefit from working with a registered clinical counsellor to help cope with the thoughts and feelings related to SAD. Here’s hoping you have a better winter.

The young guns are starting to roll for the Comox Valley Raiders Youth Football Club. In a doubleheader Sunday at Bill Moore Memorial Park in Courtenay, the PeeWee Raiders came up with their best effort of the season, resulting in a lopsided win over Nanaimo Fairview. Not to be outdone, the Junior Bantam Raiders kept the momentum going by upsetting the much larger Nanaimo Fairview NDSS squad 31-26 to send the home crowd home happy. Unfortunately the Midget Raiders didn’t fare as well in Nanaimo where they were pummelled 46-0 by the WRSS Titans. Week 7 action features all four Raiders teams at Bill Moore park. The fun kicks off Friday at 6:30 p.m. when the Junior Bantams host the Campbell River Eagles. On Saturday, the PeeWees host the Campbell River Eagles at 11 a.m. A doubleheader Sunday starts at 1 p.m. with the Bantams hosting the North Surrey Bears followed at 3 p.m. by the Midgets against the North Surrey Bears. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

(Oct. 10-12) matches with UBCO. The WolfPack open the Canada West regular season Oct. 25 in Kelowna against UBCO. Their home opener is the next night against the same UBCO Heat. Meanwhile, Gunter was instrumental in the WolkPack’s Canada West exhibition victory over the University of British Columbia Okanagan Heat on Sept. 27. At Prince George, over 1,400 people crammed into the University of Northern British Columbia gym to see the ‘Pack cool off the Heat 3-0 (25-15, 25-16, 25-21). Gunter had 12 kills. “Brad has only been practising with us for a week,” said TRU head coach Pat Hennelly. “But it’s apparent that his summer with the Junior National team has paid off. He has clearly improved and is dominant already.” SIDE OUTS Hennelly on playing Blake Majcher (4th year, Brandon, MB) at libero for the first two sets before replacing him with Matt Krueger (4th year, Abbotsford, BC). “I think there are a lot of positions that are being contested right now. I think that Blake did a great job but the serving was getting to him a little bit. I thought that it was time for a break. Same thing with Brad (Gunter). I thought at times he looked a little tired from last night and a long summer. I wanted to get some mileage out of Casey Knight. One of the strengths of our team in the past has been depth. I think it’s a double-edged sword though. We need to find guys who are ready to play night in and night out.” – TRU WolfPack

VANIER PLAYER GOES up to set ball during Saturday morning action. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

The Isfeld Ice were the hosts with the most on the weekend as they won their 12-team Invitational Junior Girls Volleyball Tournament. Two pools of teams competed at Isfeld on Friday and another pool of four was at Highland. Pool A saw Isfeld upset Brentwood to finish first in their pool. Carihi upset NDSS to do the same in Pool B. Timberline and Dover Bay were both in Pool C, and split their twogame match with Dover Bay taking the pool on points. On Saturday, Isfeld hosted the gold tier, which included Brentwood, NDSS, Carihi, Timberline, Dover Bay and the home team. Highland hosted the silver tier, which included Highland, Vanier, Wellington, Kwalikum, Aspengrove and a Grade 9 Timberline team. Taking the top three plaques for the silver tier were: Vanier 1st, Wellington 2nd and Highland 3rd. The gold tier was very competitive, with only one team failing to earn a match win.

THE ISFELD ICE were all smiles after winning their 12-team invitational junior girls volleyball tourney on the weekend. Carihi and NDSS came out tied for fourth, but NDSS won the points for and against tiebreaker. Isfeld played Timberline in the second match of the day, and narrowly won in three games, taking the third game 15-13. That was Timberline’s only loss of the day. The last match of

the tournament saw Isfeld play Dover Bay, the only two undefeated teams. Isfeld won the first match 25-15, but the second was an intense battle, with the lead changing many times. Dover Bay came out on top 25-23, forcing a final 15 point tiebreaker game. Dover Bay

came out hammering spikes at Isfeld. Isfeld ducked and many went out of bounds, starting the match with an 8-4 lead. The two teams fought for points thereafter, but Isfeld prevailed 15-10 to finish in first place in their own tournament. – Isfeld Ice

Mazda Chiefs enjoying busy schedule

BRENNEMAN

Give a boarder a boost

The Courtenay Mazda PeeWee T1 Chiefs have had a busy couple of weeks. Following successful fundraising events (Burger and a Beer at the Prime Chophouse and hot dog barbecue at Brian McLean Chevrolet), the team played four games over the past two weekends. The Chiefs started out with a well-played, fullgame effort in a 6-3 win over the Peninsula Eagles on Sept. 28 followed by a 3-3

tie against Saanich Braves the next day. The team played more consistently in the second half of both road games, an area they were intent on improving. Balanced scoring, solid goaltending and improved defensive zone coverage were key to the good results. This past weekend the Chiefs travelled to Victoria on Saturday to play Racquet Club. After an excellent two periods of play that

saw the Chiefs build a 3-0 lead, a series of turnovers and untimely penalties over a 10-minute span saw the Chiefs suddenly trailing 5-3 in the third period. The Chiefs rallied back, however, and a power move by forward Logan Nijhoff brought the Chiefs within a goal. With just minutes left in the game, the Chiefs were awarded a penalty shot following a goal-mouth scramble, and Nijhoff converted

on that opportunity as well, giving the Chiefs an exciting come-from-behind 5-5 tie. On Sunday, the Chiefs returned home to face their rivals from Campbell River. The Chiefs played hard against a fast and physical Campbell River squad, but came out on the wrong end of a 5-3 score. While the Chiefs did score two shorthanded goals, untimely penalties and missed defensive assignments took their toll.

Tiering games are now concluded for the PeeWee team and they are awaiting placement for league play. The Chiefs will play in a tournament in Abbotsford over Thanksgiving weekend. ICE CHIPS Thank you to Courtenay Mazda, Prime Chophouse, Brian McLean Chevrolet and other local businesses for supporting the Chiefs ... – Courtenay Mazda PeeWee T1 Chiefs

Regular readers will recall the June article titled ‘Happy’s Looks for Unique Triple Play’, in which the Investors Group Yew Bat tournament, the Canadian National Oldtimers event, and the Komoux Masters Real Baseball League championship were all in the headlights for Happy’s Source for Sports Islanders. Winning all three titles was a possibility, but with Father Time nipping at several heels on this team, it was a slim possibility. After losing to the Victoria team in the 35+ division of the Yew

Bat, and then flying to Edmonton for the Nationals and losing a couple of one-run games on the ‘A’ side, the triple play possibility was long gone. And to make things worse, the team played uninspired ball through the last half of the local schedule, even (heaven forbid!) forfeiting a couple of games down the stretch for lack of players. Ouch. However, baseball in September in Comox can be a much different game than the warm, sunny vacationfilled days of August. The games become less

frequent, the games go from seven innings to nine innings, and the games attract a full bench of players. Suddenly the regular season only matters in that it determines the playoff order. The last Sunday in September, after a rainout the week before, saw the final game of the season. The defending champs, Fisher Realty Blue Jays, were rested and ready to keep their title for another year. The Islanders, having miraculously snuck past the Investors Group Athletics in the quarter-final game and then cruised through the semifinal, were ready. The rain delay was a blessing for Happy’s as it allowed several guys to finish up their moose-hunting trips and get back to the real important business of September! The delay was a negative for the Jays, as they had played only a couple of games since early August. The weather was still a big issue on Sunday morning. A few guys spent several hours making the field playable – Jake Plante and Dale Greene as always, and Tim McDonald and others were there making it

work. The 12:30 p.m. game started on time and the weather held off – not one drop of rain fell. But the Blue Jays, leading 2-1 after one inning for their only lead of the game, were praying for the skies to open up by the third inning as Happy’s started hitting and never stopped. A 21-hit barrage included: Davey Odamura 4-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, two RBIs; Greg Grieve 3-for-3 with a double, a run and an RBI; Tim McDonald 3-for-4, one double, one run and an RBI; Andy Marinus 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI. Buck Briggs 2-for-4 with a double (yes, read it again, a double!). Mike Caton went 2-for-4 with two RBI. And Ron Carter went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Seven veterans leading the way – two of them over 50, the other five over 55. Father Time had a real bad day! On the mound, Andy Marinus led with the way with a strong fiveinning/two-run outing, followed by Darrrel Ostgard for two innings (just one run) and Mike Caton (no runs) closing the final two innings in a 9-3 Happy’s win. – Komoux Masters Real Baseball League

THE FORD LAKE Project on Salt Spring Island was dedicated to wildlife artist Robert Bateman on Sept. 25. PHOTO BY RALPH SHAW talk at the cairn really piqued my interest when he said, “We need hunters and fishers because they get out into nature – especially hunters.” I asked him if I could use the quote and he said yes, he supported ethical hunting and fishing. The Ford Lake Project is DUC’s way of saying thank you to Bateman who has done so much for nature throughout Canada and indeed the planet. For DUC in particular he has been supporting

them for years. Since 2006 Bateman has had a yearly print program with DUC. Over the years he has supplied over 31,000 copies of prints to DUC and the sale of these prints have raised millions of dollars for DUC wildlife habitat programs. From this scribe’s point of view, the Ford Lake Project represents something very profound. Ford Lake is the largest watershed on Salt Spring Island, which is the largest of the 200 Gulf Islands. It

is home to about 10,000 people and a wide variety of wildlife. The project now provides a safe home for many species of forest, wetland, and aquatic species of birds, animals and fish. Ford Lake has a resident population of cutthroat trout, and Fulford Creek which drains the lake into Fulford Harbour has stocks of trout, coho and chum salmon. It raises the intriguing question – How can a small island in the Gulf of Georgia crowded

with people find space and funds to protect its largest watershed from further wildlife degrading development? Maybe they realize our planet is going through some major convulsions due to climate change. We live on Vancouver Island which is home to over 500,000 people. We are actively cutting down its forests and shipping the logs overseas to help somebody else’s bottom line. We are developing mines, and rapidly expanding our urban centres that are not friendly to other life forms (except crows, rats, urban deer and a few others) all in the name of increasing the bottom line. Surely in the name of progress we could find a way to copy the Salt Spring Island example with even one small watershed like Rosewall Creek or the Oyster River. Ralph Shaw is a master fly fisherman who was awarded the Order of Canada in 1984 for his conservation efforts. In 20 years of writing a column in the Comox Valley Record it has won several awards.

Autumn Gala for Glacier View Lodge on Oct. 17 Serving the Comox Valley community since the 1950s

Glacier View Lodge has deep roots in the Comox Valley. Members of our community realized the vision to have a home for the elderly in the Valley in 1946. Community members built the original home that opened in the 1950s, and some of those same dedicated community members continued

to lobby for a larger, more modern facility, resulting in the current facility that opened in 1982. The lodge continues to provide excellence in dementia care to those who reside there and attend community outreach programs. When people think of dementia, they tend to think of memory loss. Dementia is much more than that — inability to function, complete everyday tasks and communicate clearly. There may be the development of some strange, unexpected and

unsafe behaviours. These can be terribly challenging for homebased caregivers. The need for qualified dementia care is growing. Today, there are approximately 1,500 seniors in the Comox Valley living with dementia. By 2020, that number will likely double, and by 2030 triple to approximately 4,500. There are currently 10 adult day program spaces each day at Glacier View and seven spaces at Cumberland, five days per week. The waitlist at the Glacier View Lodge is over

six months long. The adult day program provides a safe, social environment for the client, while the caregiver has some well-deserved and needed respite time to themselves, or go to work, or manage their other family roles and commitments. It may be the only opportunity they have to go to a caregiver support group to learn how to cope at home. In many ways, it represents survival for the spouses and families trying to care for their loved ones at home.

We need the help of our community once again to expand services to Comox Valley seniors and their family caregivers. You can help by attending the Autumn Gala for Glacier View Lodge on Oct. 17. The evening will feature a humourous presentation on aging by Wisequacks, Dr. Dave Hepburn; music by Anela Kahiamoe and Jenn Forsland; games of chance hosted by the Monarch Lions, and much more. Tickets can be purchased at the Glacier View

Lodge reception office, at Cardero’s Coffee and Tea Company on Fifth Street and from Blue Heron Books on Comox Avenue. If you cannot attend the evening, donations are welcome. They can be made in person at Glacier View Lodge, by mail to Glacier View Lodge at 2450 Back Rd. in Courtenay, B.C. V9N 8B5, or at www.glacierviewlodge. ca. See the Canada Helps donation link! All donors receive an income tax receipt. — Glacier View Lodge

St. George’s United Church has released a book celebrating the church’s 100th anniversary in Courtenay. The book is titled Our Story: A History and was written by Pat Brandon with research and additional writing by members of the congregation. The foreword to the book is a reprint of Leila Carroll’s 1966 booklet 90 Year of Church History. St George’s Church was built in 1913 and stood on Main Street (now Fifth Street) where Hot Chocolates is now located. In 1946, the building was moved to its current location at the corner of Sixth Street and Fitzgerald. Our story uses text and archival photographs to tell the story of St. George’s over the years and its contribution to Courtenay. To mark the 100th anniversary, the book was launched at a gala dinner and concert Sept. 21. Many former ministers and congregants attended and many old friends got together, some of whom hadn’t seen each other in decades. Musical highlights at the concert were Sarah Hagen at the piano and 99-yearold Wat Stanton who played a song he had written and accompanied himself on a violin

Burning in village

Residents are advised that open burning of forestry slash piles in these areas of Cumberland will take place in October: • Bevan Road area; • Whyte’s Bay area; • South of Cumberland toward Allen Lake. The Village is working closely with Hancock Forest Management to help reduce the impact of the fires and smoke on Cumberland residents. Burning will only take place if weather conditions and the BC Venting Index are suitable. The burning will dispose of slash debris from forestry operations and help reduce risk of forest fire during the hot summer months. Please call the Village Fire Department at 250-336-2531 for more information on open burning in the Village. — Village of Cumberland which he had made. Included in the book are some amusing anecdotes as well as details describing the growth of St. George’s and the various additions that were made
