The Ministry of Environment in collaboration with Island Health ended Saturday an air quality advisory due to improving air quality in the Comox Valley. Fog had trapped a high amount of fine particulates in the air. Through Monday, open burning restrictions had been in effect within 15 kilometres of

Courtenay City Hall. No new fires had been permitted. For more information on air quality visit www.bcairquality.ca. The weather forecast for the Valley predicted fog patches dissipating near noon Monday but again developing near midnight. Highs of 12C were expected. The forecast for the rest of the week called for a mix of sun and cloud. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

They’re building that into their cost projections, but the government has a strong role to play in regulating all of that.

‘Day of conversation’ dealt with homelessness Scott Stanfield Record Staff

A forum on affordable housing and homelessness Wednesday at the Filberg Centre provided an opportunity to forge relationships and connect people who are helping to address housing issues, and the overall health and well-being of the community. Hosted by the Comox Valley Housing Task Force, the event helped to “put the puzzle together in innovative ways,” chair RonnaRae Leonard said. “It’s a positive story about fitting into a community. It was supposed to be a day of conversation and building solutions, and I think we definitely achieved that.” The forum incorporated an Expo-type setting with booths on one side of the hall, and an area for panel discussions involving speakers from Island

video-online www.comoxvalleyrecord.com Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority), Pacifica Housing, BC Housing and other agencies. Topics included capacity-building, the Housing First concept and affordable housing options. “The comments that people were making were very positive, very constructive,” Leonard said. “People from out of town were eager to keep connected, and continue that conversation about looking at the broader implications and what we can do together.” The speaker list included Kevin Albers of the M’akola Housing Society, which aims to provide affordable homes primarily for aboriginal people on Vancouver Island.

While comprising just four to five per cent of the Comox Valley population, estimates indicate aboriginal people represent a disproportionate 40 to 50 per cent of the local homeless population, says task force vice-chair Roger Kishi. “A lot of that is people who are trying to find stable housing. Some are couch-surfing,” Kishi said. “It all fits in with … poverty issues and social issues of First Nations people.” Several homeless individuals attended the forum, as did residents in the Braidwood Road neighbourhood where the City of Courtenay has purchased a property to possibly establish affordable housing. “That begins the story for sure,” Leonard said about the property at 810 Braidwood Rd. Videos of panel discussions will be posted at www. cvhousing.ca by November.

A Grade 9 Lake Trail student and founder of non-profit Gimme Shelter opened the Affordable Housing and Homelessness forum with an inspirational speech. “What inspires me is that we are here as one community, and we need to solve this problem as one community,” Rachael Jankowski began last Wednesday. “I got given a project at school to find what bothers me and to do something about it, but I didn’t know what bothered me.

“It wasn’t till I was waiting outside of Edible Island with my mom, when a homeless person came up to me and my mom and asked for food. What are you supposed to feel when there is someone asking you for food? “I was upset, overwhelmed and I wanted to do something about it,” Jankowski continued. After Jankowski talked to more people in the community, even talking in front of Courtenay council about the things that were being done about homelessness, she was outraged with what she was hearing. “There was people helping, but nothing was being done.” Jankowski plans to make a difference in the community for today but also tomorrow. She started in

youth get more involved with Gimme Shelter, and even though I’m only 14 years old, it’s just a number. I want to inspire people because I care about our future,” said Jankowski.

Judging from the reaction of some adults, she is succeeding. She mentioned local man Dave Randall, saying that he was there for every crazy decision that she made. Jankowski also mentioned Coun. Ronna-Rae Leonard of Courtenay as a female role model who she looks up to. The feeling is mutual. In an interview during the forum at the Filberg Centre, event organizer Leonard explained how Rachael and Gimme Shelter inspired her. “Her age, I was blown away with what she had come up with because her ideas were so developed,” Leonard said. Leonard added that when she was younger she hadn’t thought of doing anything like helping out and volun-

teering was enough for her. Her advice for other people with ideas of their own is be brave and just go do it. Leonard thinks that Gimme Shelter will grow and develop, as Rachael has a good idea of what she wants to happen. Leonard learned about Jankowski when she contacted the councillor for information about homelessness in the Comox Valley. “I’m kinda loathe to give Rachael advice because she’s done such a tremendous job and it has grown so much over the past few months,” Leonard said. “She is really dedicated and very confident.” Hailee Jones is a Grade 10 student at Lake Trail Middle School who is considering a journalism career.

Island Health urges Comox Valley residents to get their flu shots as public health clinics open their doors next week. North Island Medical Health Officer Charmaine Enns says the influenza vaccine is the “most effective strategy” Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) has to prevent and reduce influenza each flu season. “While influenza keeps otherwise healthy people in bed for a week, it is a serious and sometimes lifethreatening disease for those who are elderly, very young or have underlying health conditions that put them at risk of complications from influenza,” says Enns, noting the vaccine not only protects those who receive it, but also the people they come into contact with. “This is why it is important that both those who are at higher risk of influenza receive the vaccine and also those who live or care for those individuals.” Enns adds predicting the severity of each year’s influenza season is difficult. “We really only know once we look back,” she continues. “However, we have had a number of years of relatively lower activity so it would not be unreasonable to expect a busier influenza season this season.” Public health clinics start the week of Oct. 28. There will be a drop-in clinic Monday, Oct. 28 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at the Florence Filberg Centre in Courtenay, another Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hornby Community Hall and another

Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Comox Community Centre. For a complete list of public health clinic dates, times and locations, visit www.viha. ca/flu. The website also includes general information about influenza, including symptoms and prevention methods. Free flu shots are provided to the following groups: • People 65 and older and their caregivers; • Children and adults with chronic health conditions, their household and close contacts; • Health-care workers; • Emergency responders; • Healthy children from six months of age to less than five years old; • Household contacts and caregivers of children from birth to less than five years old; • Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy; • Residents of nursing homes and other

chronic-care facilities; • Owners and operators of poultry farms; • Aboriginal peoples; • People who are very obese (those with a body mass index of 40 or greater); • Corrections officers and inmates in provincial correctional institutions; • Those who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high-risk persons (e.g. crew on ships). Island Health asks those getting their shot to bring their CareCard or other government ID (valid driver’s licence) to the clinic, and wear a shortsleeved shirt. Eligible individuals may also get their free vaccine from their doctor or pharmacy. Also, new this year, Island Health is offering a nasal spray influenza vaccine free for eligible children aged two to 17. For more information about the vaccine, visit http://immunizebc.ca or call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

It requires technique, artistry and flexibility, and Comox Valley’s Nadyne Moldowan recently slid her way to the top of the pole dancing championships. Moldowan, who owns Femme Natale’s Pole Fitness in the Comox Valley, returned earlier this month from earning top spot in the professional category at the 2013 Canadian Pole Fitness Championship in Ontario. “I was pretty excited. My mom and six of my aunts were there and I was proud to have them,” explained Moldowan. “Now it opens doors; I can teach all over Canada.” Moldowan noted that previous to the national competition, she won the provincial championship last year which guaranteed her a spot in this year’s championship. Her first pole competition was in 2011, and in addition to owning her own studio, the sport has taken her around the globe. “I went to the world championship in London in July, and a pole expo last month in Vegas,” she added. At the championship, there were between 70 to 100 other competitors in a variety of categories. She performed in front of six judges, with groups of two judges assigned to technique, artistry and flexibility, assigning competitors a score out of 140. Moldowan received a score of 137.

Staff created a hospital in an “empty, dirty, flea-infested field,” she said. Three patients died in the makeshift hospital due to a loss of oxygen. Other patients and staff members were injured. One man suffered a gouge to his head from falling debris. Another had a protruding object wrapped in gauze on his head. Cloutier credits nurses, doctors, volunteers and family members for helping to contain the situation. “The Philippine culture knows how to take care of each other, especially during times of crisis. Eventually, bananas and bottled water were being handed out to everyone.” The earthquake killed more than 100 people. Its epicentre was in the island of Bohol in the central part of the country,

Donna Cloutier discovered a week ago how fast she can run. The Courtenay Rotarian arrived at a Filipino hospital Oct. 15 at 7:30 a.m. and began preparing surgical instruments. E v e r y t h i n g appeared to be routine until 8:12 a.m., when the earth shook violently. Cloutier yelled “earthquake” and ran out of the building, covering her head in case of falling debris. “It was complete chaos,” she wrote by e-mail from the Philippines, which was hit last Tuesday by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake. Cloutier — a manager at Pateman & Company and member of the Courtenay Rotary Club — was volunteering with a Rotaplast (derived from Rotary and plastic) mission for cleft lip and palate surgeries. “It’s interesting how quickly you can run when you know that this building can collapse from above onto you or into your path. Debris was falling down all around me but did not hit me.” Like many buildings in the Philippines, she said construction of the hospital is not to code. As such, the entire building needed to be evacuated. But surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses remained behind to finish what they could before moving patients outside, including two Rotaplast patients in

but people were also killed in the province of Cebu, where Cloutier has been volunteering. The Rotaplast mission was in jeopardy of being shut down. But by Wednesday morning, teams had cleaned rooms and reorganized patient flow. “There are still tremors,” Cloutier said Wednesday. “They make us all uncomfortable. They make us wonder if this is another ‘Churchill’ quake or another ‘San Francisco’ quake. But the team moves on, working with these beautiful children, all wanting to have a normal childhood and to let their smiles tell a story.”

For more about the program, visit the Cebu Philippines Rotaplast Mission blog at http:// rotaplast.typepad.com/ missions. Cloutier’s spouse, Eddy Betinol, and staff at Joint Physiotherapy, in partnership with the regional Filipino community, will host a fundraising dinner — A Taste of the Philippines — tentatively scheduled for Nov. 24 at the Native Sons Hall. Betinol is Filipino. His family resides in Bohol, where Cloutier had planned to visit. Some of the family’s homes were destroyed. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

No fishing permitted yet in recovering Tsolum With all the good news of a huge pink salmon run, coho numbers looking quite promising and trout populations trending upwards in the Tsolum watershed, residents are taking to the river with their fishing rods and even nets! The Tsolum River Restoration Society asks people to please respect the future generations of fish. This is a wonder of nature and a remarkable comeback. The BC Conservation Office takes poaching seriously. Dramatic fines and consequences can be levied. The Tsolum River Restoration Society would rather have our residents and visitors know that the river is closed for good reasons and that people who enjoy fishing are reading their regulations when purchasing their fishing licences. If you have a licence and you have read the regulations as to where you can fish and where you cannot, you would have come across page 21 in the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations – Region 1, Vancouver Island, under Water Specific Regulations – Tsolum River – Closed all year. Why is the Tsolum River closed to fishing? When the Mount Washington Copper Mine was abandoned in 1964, a process known as “acid mine drainage” (AMD) began. By 1999, the Tsolum River earned the dubious honour of being the most endangered river in B.C. and in 2000 it was declared “dead” by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The depletion of stocks as a result of this calamity caused the river to become a “river of special conservation concern.” All fishing was suspended indefinitely.

ALTHOUGH PINK SALMON have returned to the Tsolum River, fishing remains forbidden in the recovering river. PHOTO BY CHARLES BRANDT All enhancement efforts through the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s failed to rebuild stocks. In 1993 only a few fish returned to the Tsolum. Since the early ‘80s, efforts were directed to trying to figure out what was wrong. This effort was spurred originally by the Comox Valley Chapter of the Steelhead Society then picked up by thenComox Valley MLA Stan Hagen and then champions inside the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Environment Canada. In 1985 the AMD was discovered. Hagen, the Steelhead Society and others worked together towards a quick $1.5-million fix and the partial cover

was installed in 198889. By 1990, however, the cover was deemed a failure and the Tsolum was left to languish, slowly dying from toxic copper leachate. By 2009 the TRRS along with a unique partnership of stakeholders had effectively worked towards solving the problem and sealed the old minesite, successfully stopping the leaching. After attempting a Passive Wetland Treatment that helped in

2003 and evidence that the original partial cover was working, new energy was born. Finally, thanks to a $4.5-million grant from the Province the AMD was sealed away and water quality returned to normal. In the aftermath of this near-total collapse, fishing was closed yearround in the Tsolum and remains so today. The new seal is working beautifully and we begin to see a day in the future when

a limited sports fishery can be reinstated on the Tsolum River. The board of directors of the Tsolum River Restoration Society and the Tsolum River Partnership are all working towards that day. There are two major ways you can help in this huge and successful effort: One is to become a member and participate where and when you can in returning the Tsolum River to health by joining us, volunteering or donating and the second way is to keep your eyes on the river and let anyone fishing know that there is no fishing permitted in the Tsolum. There is fishing permitted in the upper watershed lakes such as Lost Lakes and Regan Lake — see your Freshwater Fishing regulations for details. Your money, when you buy a fishing licence, goes back to work in rivers all over B.C. to increase angling opportunity and support recreational fisheries.

His flamenco has new twist

Oscar Robles Diaz returns with his acoustic guitar to the Zocalo Café this Thursday to debut a repertoire that focuses on Spanish flamenco, with a very non-traditional twist. Cuban Trova (troubadour songs) and jazz are added to mix, and the result is a form of Flamenco Nuevo. A modern derivative of traditional flamenco, Flamenco Nuevo is a term to describe basically anything that fits under the colourful umbrella of what is known today as contemporary I also love so flamenco. With special many other kinds guests Tony Mor- of music, and this rison on flute and evening at the saxophones, and Brittany BowZocalo is about man on bass, udu that and celebratdrum and backup ing the many vocals, the evening at the Zocalo flights and forms promises many modern flamenco surprises as Diaz can take. navigates the high seas of jazz Oscar Robles Diaz on a cruise ship making its route from Andalucia, Spain to the tropical island of Cuba, and then back again. Asked to define flamenco for those who don’t know anything about it, Robles responds jokingly. He says “It is a bird with very long legs and pink feathers. “I wasn’t born in Spain. I was born in Mexico. I love traditional flamenco and very much respect it in its pure form. “I also love so many other kinds of music, and this evening at the Zocalo is about that and celebrating the many flights and forms modern flamenco can take.” The Zocalo, affectionately known as The Zo is a downtown licensed venue that regularly presents local music while serving dinner in addition to coffee and treats. Music is from 7 to 9 p.m. and by “pass-the-hat” donation with all proceeds going to the musician. Additionally, locally produced CDs and fine handcrafted jewelry will be available for sale during this special evening.

Brenneman ‘amazed’ by huge hometown support Snowboard cross competitor has sights set on 2014 Olympics Earle Couper Record Staff

A fundraising weekend for Carle Brenneman was a huge success. “The event was amazing!” the 23-year-old snowboard cross competitor from Comox enthused. “I still can’t believe the amount of community support I received, it was a huge success both financially and mentally.” Brenneman is training and fundraising in an effort to go to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. On Oct. 11 there was a Gala Social with silent auction and live music at the Black Fin Pub, and on Oct. 12 a Go Carle!

Familiarity breeds content. That update on a familiar adage comes courtesy of the Comox Valley Glacier Kings after they won the final two games of a fourgame series with the Kerry Park Islanders. The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League schedule matched the two teams up for four consecutive meetings over a nine-day period. After splitting the first two games, the Glacier Kings took the last two, winning 4-2 Oct. 18 in Kerry Park and 4-3 in overtime Oct. 19 in Courtenay. Keeping with the four-in-a-row theme, the Yetis tallied four straight power-play goals to erase a 2-0 deficit en route to their Oct. 18 road win. Duncan Pernal and newcomer Derian Hamilton both had a goal and two assists for the Icemen while Sheldon Brett and Ali Gotmy added one goal and one helper apiece. The Islanders led 2-0 after the first period with the Icemen pulling even in the second then sealing the deal in the third. Comox Valley went 4-for-7 on the power play, with second-star Pernal’s empty netter clinching the win with 33 seconds left in the game. The Glacier Kings out-shot the Islanders 44-31 with Michael Hails the winner and third-star Leighton Williams taking the loss. The teams were right back at it the next night at the Comox Valley Sports Centre where Gotmy’s sixth goal of the year at 4:14 of the first overtime period was the difference in a 4-3 Glacier Kings’ victory.

First place in the Vancouver Island Premier League U14 boys division was on the line as both teams entered the contest undefeated with 3-0 records. After 70 minutes of entertaining soccer, the visitors – who finished second at Provincials last year – emerged

victorious, 2-1. “Some games you win and some you lose, but it is the effort that makes champions,” said Riptide coach Bruce Mitchell. “This is why we play soccer. “Everyone I have talked to after the game congratulated the team on a great game played. Games like this one provide the opportunity to improve and to get better as a team.” The Riptide were in Victoria to play Bays United on Sunday, with result unavailable at

press time. Their next home game is Nov. 10 against Upper Island Storm, with the match tentatively set for 2 p.m. at Valley View. THROW INS The Riptide comprises players from the Comox Valley and Campbell River …. follow the team at leaguelineup. com/VIPL/ … sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Audrey Anderton nee: Mellado August 3, 1917 to October 12, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grammieâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Audrey Anderton Audrey was born at home in Victoria on August 3, 1917 and passed peacefully on October 12, 2013 in Courtenay. As Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was a railwayman, she spent her formative years in Victoria, Penticton and Vancouver. Audrey married Wilf Anderton in Vancouver in 1939. Their plan to spend the rest the rest of their lives together in Courtenay was interrupted by the Second World War. Wilf signed up for duty and the couple along with baby Greg went to live in Victoria while Wilf trained as an officer. In November 1943 Wilf was deployed to Europe and Audrey returned to Courtenay to live alone with a toddler son and newborn daughter Marjorie. She was supported not only by extended family, but also by a growing group of couple friends. After the war, Audrey and Wilf enjoyed the weekly company of these â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;bridge and pokerâ&#x20AC;? friends for over 35 years. Their third child Audrey was born upon Wilfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return from active duty. Audrey excelled at being a homemaker. She was an outstanding mother, cook, housekeeper, money manager, seamstress, gardener, interior designer, and entertainer. Audrey was actively involved in the community. She was closely involved with her childrensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schools, a president of Kinettes, a member of the Courtenay Rotary Anns and the Comox Golf Club. She volunteered for Meals on Wheels and for the organization of the BC Senior Games in the Comox Valley. She always made time to keep informed on Canadian and American politics, particularly during elections. Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren considered her to be the perfect grandmother. She was always there for them whether it was to listen to their problems or beat them at crib or her special gin rummy. Her freezer always contained their favourite cookies and their favourite foods were always readily available. Following Wilfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement, he and Audrey travelled extensively. Audrey was predeceased by her husband of 71 years, Leo Wilfred (Wilf) Anderton, her father, Ricardo (Bud) Mellado and mother, Violet (Bentley) Mellado. She was also predeceased by brothers Mart and Bobby, sisters in law Glenna Mellado, Marjorie Mellado, Lillian Mellado, Helen (Anderton) McIntyre and brother in law Gordon McIntyre. She leaves to mourn her passing and to remember her always children Gregory (Maria) Anderton, Marjorie Gibson and Audrey (Ray) Craig, grandchildren Meredith (Todd) Kennedy, Lyndsay (Ryan) Charles, Kendra (Roger Walcott) Walker, Dana Gibson, Craig Rennison and Troy Calleran, great grandchildren, Sophie, Logan and Declan Kennedy; Chloe, Dylan and Noah Charles and Zander Walcott. She also leaves many nieces and nephews and a host of other family and friends who will remember Mom as a loving and caring person who valued family first. The family would like to express their appreciation and thanks to Dr. A. Bakshi and to the wonderful staff at Comox Valley Seniors Village for their loving care as Audrey approached the end of her lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey. A Celebration of Life and Reception will be held on Saturday October 26, 2013 commencing at 2:00 p.m. from the Comox Valley Funeral Home located at 1101 Ryan Road, Courtenay, B.C. In lieu of flowers donations in Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name may be made to the Comox Valley Hospice Society, 2137 Comox Ave, Comox, B. C. V9M 1P2 or the charity of your choice.

William (Bill) Edward Gould March 5, 1924 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 14, 2013 At peace, finally, after a long struggle with dementia. Born in Dawson City, Yukon, Bill always kept and cherished the special memories of his childhood there throughout his whole life. He was part of the Allied Forces landing on Juno Beach on D-Day, June 6th, 1944 during World War II, was captured and somehow survived a thirteen month imprisonment in France and Germany. After the war Bill found a career with Sears Canada in Burnaby and was with them for 35 years until his retirement. He lived his life quietly, steadily, with humility and was a huge part of the foundation of the family. Bill was a loving husband, loving father and was so proud of his grandchildren. In his early retirement years he spent many summer holidays camping with the family, and endless hours walking and combing the beaches of Denman and Hornby Islands with the grandchildren in tow. And the grandchildren always knew when it was Grampaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miller timeâ&#x20AC;?. Survived by beloved wife Doreen, loving daughter Wendie (Steve) Flawith, ever-caring grandchildren Megan Flawith, and James (Shannon) Flawith, and precious great grandson Brady Flawith. Pre-deceased by his mother, father, four brothers, a sister, and very special grandson Jordan. Private service. Our heartfelt thank you to the Comox Valley Seniors Village careworkersâ&#x20AC;Ś your caring and kindness towards Bill in his final years is so appreciated by his family.

RYAN, Bruce . It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bruce on October 2, 2013 at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Comox, BC. Bruce was born in Vancouver, BC to his mother, Dorothy Plumb, where he was soon after adopted by parents Don and Doris Ryan of New Westminster, BC. After graduating from Lester Pearson High School he attended the University of British Columbia where he studied Commerce. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for fishing began as a young man when he began deckhanding for Canadian Fishing Company. He later worked as a dockworker and longshoreman at Pacific Coast Terminal. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment with Continental Explosives brought him and his wife of 30 years, Cameron Spencer Ryan (predeceased him in 1996), to Nanaimo, BC where they raised their boys, Drew and Darcy. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later employment brought him to Menzies Bay Division in Campbell River as a driller blaster for MacMillan Bloedel. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the outdoors prompted many family camping and fishing adventures. Bruce spent the last nine years of his life with his loving wife Donna Vye, living in Comox and on their 50 foot yacht, Rana III in Nanaimo. Together they fulfilled many of their dreams fishing, boating, traveling, visiting family and friends, and making wondrous memories. To the end of his life, Bruce shared his passions and interests with friends and family. Bruce is lovingly remembered by his wife Donna Vye (Clements), son Darcy of Nanaimo, BC (Jesse), son Drew and Christine of Tofino, BC (Tylan and Tayte); sister Maureen of Twin Lakes, BC (Donnie and Julie), and many other relatives and friends. A Celebration of Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held at the Nanaimo Yacht Club on Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer Agency or a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Investment climate shows room for improvement The BC Check-Up, issued jointly by B.C.’s professional accountants, examined four key indicators to assess how the province’s investment climate fared in 2012. According to the report, B.C. saw marginal improvement in employment in the sciences, but experienced declines in productivity, the value of exports per worker, and an increase in net government debt. However, the other comparison jurisdictions in the report (Alberta and Ontario) and the national average also fared relatively poorly in 2012 on these key indicators. “B.C.’s employment in the sciences increased by 0.2 percentage points in 2012, to reach 6.7 per cent,” said Vinetta Peek, president and CEO of CMABC. “This was the highest increase when looking at the comparison jurisdictions, as

Alberta and Ontario experienced declines (-0.1 and -0.2 percentage points respectively), and the national average stagnated with zero gains.” B.C.’s rate of employment in the sciences lagged behind the national average of 7.4 per cent in 2012, which

said Gordon Ruth, CEO of CGA-BC. “When more output is being produced provincially or nationally with an existing amount of labour and capital, this is a productivity gain, which ultimately improves competitiveness and acts as a draw for investment.” The report also found that in 2012, B.C.’s total interna-

tional exports of goods and services were $49.3 billion, a 5.9 per cent increase over the previous year to prerecession levels. However, B.C.’s exports per worker, defined as the value of provincial international exports divided by the number of persons in the labour force, declined by five per cent, to reach $12,629 in 2012. The national average gained one per cent over the same time period. All of the comparison jurisdictions saw government net debt as a percentage of GDP increase in 2012; however, B.C. fared well overall at 17.2 per cent, second behind Alberta at -3.5 per cent, and well ahead of Ontario at 37.5 per cent. The national average for government net debt was 33.5 per cent. For additional discussion of B.C.’s economic investment performance, consult

Chamber applauds program Chambers of Commerce and municipalities throughout B.C. have been working on an initiative to introduce an Inter-Community Business Licence program which is now gaining support across Vancouver Island. Under the program, businesses would be able to purchase an additional transferrable business licence as an add-on to the

licencing required base business licence, allowing them to operate in all other participating communities. Comox and Courtenay already have an agreement in place which allows business to operate with one licence between the two communities. Similar pilot programs have operated

in other areas of the province. The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce applauds regional chambers and Island municipalities for their spirit of collaboration on this initiative, which enhances regional economic development and helps to build a stronger economy. Chambers continue to work toward full participation in this

Boosting hospital morale

A typical hospital stay includes pain, anxiety and even fear. Visiting a loved one can be a difficult experience, too. Nobody likes to see someone they care about in pain. Although health-care professionals are trained and experienced, they have demanding jobs with a daunting workload. Caring for hurting, anxious patients creates a level of stress and drama well above the workplace norm. In other words, maintaining a positive atmosphere is a constant challenge. Morale is one of the reasons St. Joseph’s General Hospital employs a director of pastoral care and ethics. As Steve Hill told the Record last week, part of his department’s mandate “is to be caring for the patients, caring for patients’ families but also to be caring for the staff.” This week is Pastoral Care Week at St. Joe’s. From Monday to Friday, sweet treats are being offered to the almost 1,700 staff, physicians and volunteers at the hospital to thank them for their efforts. Local musicians are playing daily in Sisters Cafe. Hill stresses that he could not organize these events without community support. He marvels that no musician has ever declined a request to donate their time and talent. Volunteer musicians this week are: Thomas Walton, Time for Uke, Dick Stuart, David Somers, Sue Pyper, Sue Medley, Indigo Jazz, Tammy Fassaert, Blaine Dunaway, Divertimento, Tracy Canil, Helen Austin, Anela and Anderson Jazz Syndicate. Local businesses that donated include: Tim Hortons, Quality Foods, Hot Chocolates, Comox Valley Funeral Home, Fifth Street Florist and the Best Western Plus Westerly Hotel. Hill loves the symbiotic relationship between hospital and community. On one end, the facility cares for the Comox Valley’s people when they need help. “The Comox Valley is still a small enough community that the people get it, that they want to take care of the hospital that takes care of them,” Hill marvels. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com Record Question of the Week This week: Fifty-one per cent of respondents so far say they intend to get a flu shot. Either way, influenza season is coming. Is an injection in your plans? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll on the mainpage. Comox woman Louise Carvalho earned a share of a Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the Organisation of the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

The closure of Torry and Sons is a tragedy for the family-owned business and a blow to the approximately 150 employees in the Comox Valley and Nanaimo.

Rural garbage pickup facts Dear editor, There has been some information in recent issues of the Record regarding the proposed roadside collection of garbage and recycling in electoral areas A, B and C that have prompted this letter as a further effort to present the facts. In November 2012, the CVRD board passed a resolution to direct staff to explore the concept as it appeared that public interest might be growing for roadside collection of garbage and recycling. In the spring of this year, 75 per cent of the rural area respondents to the CVRD 2013 resident survey supported such a program, and of those who indicated support, 95 and 97 per cent favoured collection of garbage and recycling, respectively. Because such a system would require setting up a regional service, it is necessary to gain the assent of the electorate, and that is why a referendum will be held Nov. 16 to determine whether electors support and wish to proceed with roadside garbage and recycling pickup service for electoral areas A, B and C (excluding Denman Island, Hornby Island, the Royston collection area and the Mount Washington resort community).

If the referendum passes, all residential properties within the service area would receive collection, except for apartment buildings with more than four units and mobile home parks. The proposed service would include weekly pickup of garbage (up to one 80L can) and recycling (unlimited quantities).

All eligible residen❝ tial properties in the ser-

vice area would be able to participate in weekly pickup of garbage and recycling; there would be no ‘opting out’ of the service permitted.

❞ James Warren

All eligible residential properties in the service area would be able to participate in weekly pickup of garbage and recycling; there would be no “opting out” of the service permitted. A concern has been raised that the CVRD will fund the service through taxes from property owners based on assessed property values, however, the service contract with BFI Canada would be for a period of three years

at a cost of approximately $150 per household, per year, with each household paying the same amount. If approved, service would commence in September 2014 once the bylaw is formally established and approved as part of the annual financial plan. We strongly encourage residents and/or property owners to learn more about this proposed service at an open house in the CVRD boardroom on Tuesday, Oct. 22 from 5 to 8 p.m. CVRD representatives will circulate through the electoral areas with information handouts between Nov. 4 and 12 and will also be on location at the Black Creek Farm and Feed Supply on Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to noon. If you have lived in or have owned property in the proposed service area for at least 30 days prior to voting day and you are an eligible voter, you are strongly encouraged to participate in the referendum. Information on the proposed service, voting locations, and a set of “frequently asked questions” can all be found at www. comoxvalleyrd.ca/vote. J. Warren Editor’s note: James Warren is the chief legislative officer for the Comox Valley Regional District.

Pickup would extend local landfill Dear editor, Yes, there will be a referendum Nov. 16 putting forward a unified contract for weekly garbage and unlimited recycling pickup in the electoral areas. The winner of the three PRIVATE company bidding process was a contract at $150 per household for three years with a further one-year option. After that it will go back out for bid to the collection companies. I realize that it isn’t for everybody but the sheer economies of scale will mean a reduction in

their current cost for the vast majority of residents. The other benefit is in regards to the MMBC rebate program whereby some of the “eco-fees” we pay at point of purchase will be coming back to help districts pay for the recycling process. In order to apply and receive rebates, the local government has to “own” the service. While the municipalities can already apply in the first stage of the rebate program, the CVRD hopes to have all its ducks in a row and ready for any subse-

quent offers. We are anticipating that the recycling portion of the pickup will help us to achieve 70 per cent diversion from what goes in to the landfill — thus extending the life of the facility and saving costs for the future. Again, it is a question that will be answered by referendum and I encourage everyone to vote. Edwin Grieve, Comox Valley Editor’s note: Edwin Grieve is the Comox Valley Regional District chair and director for Area C.

❞

Dear editor, There has been a lot in the news lately about imminent signing of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Prime Minister Harper is being lauded by commentators for making French cheeses more available to Canadian consumers. Why are we not hearing about the incredible increase in prescription drug costs? CETA is expected to extend patent protections on brandname pharmaceutical drugs — making Big Pharma $1 billion to $3 billion richer with no benefit to Canada. Of course, we’re not sure – as this corporate rights agreement

has been negotiated behind closed doors and has never been debated by Parliament. Already, one in nine British Columbians do not fill their prescriptions because they can’t afford to — and Prime Minister Harper is promising us savings in cellphone plans and cable TV packages. This deal will have to be ratified by the provinces. Let Premier Clark know that we need to be thinking of ways to reduce drug costs, not making them more expensive by granting longer patents and more monopoly protections to some of the richest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
