Should we manage our watershed better? Scott Stanfield Record Staff
This is the first in a three-part series about sustainable use in the Comox Lake Watershed. A conservation group has compiled a proposal to protect water quality and enable public access while supporting sustainable use in the Comox Lake watershed. The Comox Valley Conservation Strategy Community Partnership suggests land use in the watershed is putting drinking water at risk to the point where the regional district might have to spend $32 million on a treatment plant. The Proposal for a Comox Lake Watershed Sustainable Use Recreation Area includes recommendations for senior levels of government intended to protect drinking water and the watershed’s ecology. For instance, it suggests the Province establish a public authority that would include recreation groups and TimberWest, the majority owner of the watershed. The idea is to develop a plan for the 44,000 hectares between the Valley and Strathcona Provincial Park, one-third of which is protected. Because it’s on private land, the partnership says the watershed is not being managed. “We’re trying to put out a concept,” project manager David Stapley said. “Why don’t we own it, or at least control it, so that it will function well forever? “I can’t think of any place where the community ended up taking control of their watershed
that they regretted that decision.” The group suggests there is no single agency or public authority that manages the health of the watershed, which is at risk from logging, land development, recreation and other threats. Instead, it says various stakeholders assert their own interests. “We’re looking for some leadership,” Comox Valley Land Trust executive director Jack Minard said while recently addressing the board of the CVRD, which he considers the lead agency. “We’re talking about a place of beauty for all time.” Stapley and Minard have also presented the proposal to Valley councils and the land trust. The CVRD board voted to use the document as a resource and to include the CVCSCP as a stakeholder as the district progresses through a watershed protection planning process. Also endorsing the document is the K’ómoks First Nation, which has an interest in using water from Comox Lake to meet domestic needs. The band will require access to lakewater to service its fee simple and treaty settlement lands. “We see our role as stewards of the Puntledge River system from the K’ómoks Estuary to the headwaters of Comox Lake,” KFN chief Rob Everson states in a letter to Stapley. “Protection of the health of this water source is vital to the long-term interests of the KFN.” Vancouver Island Health Authority medical health officer Charmaine Enns feels the document contains some sound ideas on watershed protection, but considers parts of the proposal “curious and problematic.” She questions why work is needed around processes already underway, and questions the MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER Charmaine Enns has strong thoughts about our public water supply.

Jumpstart assists kids Earle Couper Record Staff
One in three Canadian families cannot afford to enrol their children in sport or recreation activities (Vision Critical 2011). That means that many kids are missing out. Canadian Tire Jumpstart is a registered not-for-profit charity that helps financially disadvantaged children aged four to 18 participate in organized sports and recreation by covering the cost of equipment, registration and/or transportation. National in scope but local in focus, Canadian Tire Jumpstart delivers support to children through a Canada-wide network of about 325 local chapters. Courtenay Canadian Tire dealer Bert Heeringa says there are 40 chapters in B.C., including the local one. “Within these chapters there are about 2,000 community partners from YMCA to boys and girls clubs, youth groups and all kinds of different organizations, such as Comox Valley United Soccer here,” Heeringa said, adding the community partners in the chapter do the screening to decide on the disbursement of funds. Started in 2005, Jumpstart helped around 24,000 kids nationally that year. Up until last year it had helped 500,000 kids in different sports. UTDOOR In 2005LIVING the Comox Valley chapter helped about 100 kids. In 2012 they helped about 250 kids and had a budget of about $35,000, Heeringa said. “The main ones we Mhelp here are the Boys & Girls Club, Comox Valley Family Services Association and Comox Valley Regional District.” Amanda Bankes, project assistant of communications with Canadian Tire Jump-

start Charities in Toronto, says that since 2005 Courtenay Canadian Tire Jumpstart has raised $73,000 and helped more than 1,170 children in the Comox Valley. “It is important to note that all money that’s raised in the Valley stays in the Valley,” said Heeringa. “One of the biggest fundraisers we have is a spinathon done through the Comox Community Centre. Last year it raised $14,000 toward the program, which was huge.” Heeringa also brings his personal touch to Jumpstart. A veteran triathlete, for the past four years he has participated in the annual five-day, 500-km Jumpstart Pedal for Kids Cycling Tour, raising $5,000 each year for the Valley. Details of the many ways to support Jumpstart are at jumpstart.canadiantire.ca with updates and more information on their Facebook page. sports@comoxvalleyrecord. com

group’s idea of an authority since the supplier — the CVRD — has been mandated to develop a multi-use plan for the watershed. “The CVRD has worked very hard, I think, to meet our (Island Health, formerly VIHA) requirements as a water supplier for a large water supply,” Enns said. “It’s not easy when you don’t own the land.” This is unlike Victoria’s watershed, which is publicly owned. Vancouver’s is also protected. “There’s nobody in that watershed,” Enns said. “We have a very different scenario here.” She suggests a multi-

barrier approach is needed, starting at the source then going to treatment, distribution and monitoring. “The water supplier,
the CVRD, is very aware of the risks in that watershed,” Enns said, noting an assessment conducted several years ago. In 2007, VIHA introduced a 4321 drinking water policy, stipulating new requirements for water from streams or lakes. The regional district has been trying to determine how to comply with new standards because the existing intake on the Puntledge does not meet the turbidity standard, says Marc Rutten, senior manager of engineering services. The CVRD started a continuous water quality monitoring program on Comox Lake that yielded

a year’s worth of results. Based on the results and on meetings with VIHA, the district is recommending a deep-water intake but not a treatment/filtration plant. VIHA allowed the CVRD to defer filtration. But even if a filtration plant is constructed, Rutten said the district would probably build a deep-water intake regardless. It would cost $18 or $19 million to install. Enns said the location of the intake is problem-

atic because the risks that pose the biggest problems are the ones closest to the intake. “It’s at the bottom of the funnel,” she said. “Everything happening in Comox Lake potentially goes down that funnel.” Therefore, she said activities closest to the intake are the ones that require attention. Minard said the partnership realizes the vulnerable place between the outfall of
the lake and the intake of the water system is the No. 1 risk with drinking water. But he said the top risks to the watershed are recreational activity, logging, residential development and mining. “That’s what we want to better manage,” Minard said. “You add it all up and Walkerton was real close to home.” He would like TimberWest to consider not logging in the drinking watershed.

St. Joe’s Hospital prepared for accreditation team Renee Andor Record Staff
St. Joseph’s General Hospital is ready for what could be its last acute careservices accreditation survey, according to hospital president and CEO Jane Murphy. “I’m very confident,” responds Murphy when asked about the coming survey by Accreditation Canada. “We look forward to the survey, and certainly we’ll learn, through the survey, the things we’re doing well and areas we can continue to improve upon — and that’s the whole point of the survey.” Three surveyors from Accreditation Canada will visit St. Joseph’s from Monday to Friday next week, assessing all areas of the hospital, including leadership and governance, using national standards. Murphy notes regular accreditation surveys used to be held every three years, but are now held every four. Because acute-care services are expected to transfer to

the new Comox Valley hospital in 2017, if St. Joseph’s receives accreditation status after this survey, it will be the last time it’s surveyed for acute-care services. St. Joseph’s lost its accreditation after its last regular survey in October 2010. The surveyor’s report mentioned a disconnect between senior leadership and staff/physicians, low staff morale, patient safety issues not being fully integrated into hospital operations, and patient flow

After a focused visit in April 2011, the hospital was granted ‘accreditation with condition’ status and in May 2012, it was granted full accreditation status. Murphy stresses the hospital doesn’t simply prepare for the Accreditation
Canada surveyors’ visit in the months, or even years, beforehand. “We really work continuously on the standards to continually improve as an organization,” she says. “So, it’s certainly not an approach of doing things just for accreditation and just before accreditation;
it’s really about developing systems and processes and working on improving the quality of care and service over the years, and continuing on to do so, that we’re really focused on.” Meanwhile, Murphy says hospital administration have been working with staff so they are prepared
for the surveyors’ visit. “Some of our staff, they’re a little anxious to be speaking with the surveyors,” she explains. “So we’ve been spending time with the staff to help them understand the types of questions the surveyors might ask, and more importantly why they’re asking them, just to assure our staff are prepared to talk about the care and service that they provide and feel comfortable talking to the surveyors.” Though the hospital doesn’t need accreditation status to continue operating, “without a doubt … it’s important for the organization to have a successful survey, and we’re confident,” she adds. St. Joseph’s General Hospital is owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria, and is directed by a local Board of Directors. It has an Affiliation Agreement with Island Health, (formerly called Vancouver Island Health Authority). Suvery results are expected within a month.

Rescues hindered by foggy weather
Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Erin Haluschak Record Staff
The thick fog which has blanketed the Comox Valley for the past week affected not only commercial travel at the Comox Valley Airport, but those working to help people in need. Capt. Hugh Kennedy of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in Victoria said the low-lying fog affected civilian and military flights, limiting the ability of aircraft to take off and land. The JRCC aids with deployment of 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron, which consists of pilots and Search and Rescue Technicians who are deployed for search operations mainly within the province and the Yukon. “It really places limits for us,” Kennedy said of fog. “The lowest we can depart is with a quartermile visibility, and at times, we don’t have that.” He added JRCC is in constant communication with the crew, based at CFB Comox, and it’s their final decision whether they can depart for

On Monday, Comox Valley Ground Search & Rescue was called out for a mutual aid call with Campbell River Search and Rescue. The search employed a privately owned helicopter from Ascent Helicopters to fly CVSAR’s rope rescue team north of Sayward to aid an injured forestry worker. “(The fog) certainly affects us,” said Paul Berry, search manag-
er for CVGSAR. “At the call (Monday), 442 and the Coast Guard could not assist.” Berry added because of the weather, the helicopter was unable to use their usual pickup site at the Courtenay Airpark, and had to use a site on Piercy Road near the Inland Island Highway, above the fog. Darren James Wilson, 39, of Sayward was identified by the BC Coroners Service as the forestry worker who died Monday while working north of Sayward. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Courtenay council will soon consider whether to proceed with Fitzgerald Avenue street improvements that will include bicycle lanes on both sides from Eighth to 21st streets, new signage and improved sight lines. The majority of vehicle parking would remain in place. Bike lanes were originally dedicated from Eighth to 26th streets when the project was conceived in February 2011. Fitzgerald is considered a key northsouth cycling link. The cost is estimated at $35,000. At Monday’s meeting, Coun. Jon Ambler said it’s one more step in a long process to deliver cycling infrastructure. “This is not the mother of all projects,” he said, noting infrastructure in Calgary enables commuters to pedal to work, even in snow. The City hosts a public information session with the latest project plans on Oct. 30 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in council chambers. The City has used feedback from previous sessions to develop a design that balances the needs of drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and residents on Fitzgerald. Staff will report

Concussion is a Brain Injury? You don't have to have passed out to have suffered a concussion.
Some people will have obvious symptoms of a concussion, such as passing out or forgetting what happened right before the injury. Others will only experience brief gaps in memory or disorientation. Minor concussions can cause serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning or speech. Because of the small chance of permanent brain problems, it is important to get the right diagnosis and treatment. We can act on your behalf to get you the best medical specialist possible.

Acadia proposal moves onward
Comox DFO loses people

Two people left in office after others go to Nanaimo, Campbell River
Record Staff

A 94-unit apartment proposal at Cliffe Avenue and Anfield Road is all but a done deal. Courtenay council gave third reading Monday to the proposal dubbed Acadia on the Walk. Crowne Pacific Development proposes to divide the project into a pair of 47-unit buildings beside the Courtenay River Estuary, 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. “This project fills a rental gap,” Coun. Manno Theos said. “I think it’s a grand slam of developments.” “It’s a timely, wellthought-out proposal,” added Mayor Larry Jangula, noting a low vacancy rate in the Valley. At a public hearing preceding third reading, Sandpiper Drive resident Steve Williams — president of the Millard-Piercy Watershed Stewards — said the group generally supports the application. “We’re confident we can work together,” said Williams, who stressed the importance of managing rainwater close to sensitive areas. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Two fishery officers who have been working out of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) office in Comox will be relocated to Campbell River by April 1 as the department consolidates its Conservation and Protection program. In addition, a biologist will be relocated to Nanaimo as part of a new Fisheries Protection Program.
MILESTONE FOR CHURCH October 2013 marks the 25-year anniversary for Bay Community Church in Comox. Faith, family and friends are celebrated by a variety of community-based programs including the Sonshine Lunch Club, Little Lambs Christian preschool and daycare and Malachi Man. A celebration will take place Oct. 27 at 10 a.m. at 1105 Pritchard Rd. For more information, go to www.baychurch.net.
No beds left at shelter Turning away 22 people in three weeks ‘way over top’ Scott Stanfield Record Staff
A total of 56 people had to be turned away from the Pidcock House emergency shelter in Courtenay this month due to a lack of beds. One man set up a makeshift lean-to with mattresses by the Salvation Army thrift store Monday night in the fog. The shelter normally turns away a few people in a month, but 22 people in three weeks is “way over the top,”
said Salvation Army community ministries director Brent Hobden. The shelter contains 18 beds, 14 supplied by BC Housing and four by the Sally Ann. “When we suggested the shelter is over its capacity, it’s way beyond what the Province is supplying
for us,” Hobden said, noting the Extreme Weather Protocol does not kick in until Nov. 4. “There’s not a whole lot to offer people in our Valley. Lots of plans, lots of things we’re working on, just nothing that’s come into fruition just yet.”
A resource manager and a community adviser will continue to work out of Comox. The public can obtain in-person service but will need to book an appointment beforehand. As announced in this year’s federal budget, DFO needs to “identify internal departmental efficiencies” rising to $33 million per year by 2015–16, a spokesperson said. The
She’s (Gail ❝ Shea) quite familiar with the area. She understands our issues.

John Duncan plan is to modernize its organizational structure to provide cost-effective services. Changes will not affect frontline staff.
Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan has conversed with Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea, who recently visited the riding. “She’s quite familiar with the area,” Duncan said. “She understands our issues.” That understanding, however, “doesn’t always correspond with what she’s able to do,” Duncan added.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
In a two-hour drive, the only time I dropped the anchors was when one of Amsterdam’s kazillion cyclists cut in front of me. Keith Morgan
The BMWi electric car powered its way with ease around city streets and along picturesque Dutch canals.
KEITH MORGAN
The future is electric AMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar. On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufacturer may have a winner. For starters, it is simply great fun to drive. The lithium-ion battery, encased in an aluminum cage below the five-seater cabin, provides enough instant zap to the electric motor to propel the car smoothly to 100 klicks in less than eight seconds. Left the stopwatch
at home, but counting “one-and-two etc.” to count seconds, my lips barely mouthed “six” before the speedo leapt from 80 to 120 km/h while passing. It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technology-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity. Turns on a Euro too, as we found during the many U-turns made on blocked streets. Of course, F1 take-offs will suck the battery dry somewhat more quickly but you need not be a snail in the so-called Comfort mode to achieve the advertised 160 kilometres range on a full

2014 Mazda3 introducing new, radical design ‘‘
By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small company’s survival.
’’
Zack Spencer
Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking. This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years but that relationship dissolved in 2010. Instead of modifying existing, co-developed vehicles platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technology”. This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing approach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small companies survival. This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan. Looks The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products. They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter
2014 Mazda3. Headsup display (right) helps keep driver’s attention on the road. then the CX-5. In fact, the new Mazda3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheelbase has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, the long hood, sweeping lines and powerful stance make a statement in a class that can be rather subdued. Inside The goal for this latest model was to have a dynamic looking interior, fitted
with materials and features not typically found in a compact car. The dashboard is covered with, not only a soft material, rather a plush-feeling dash. Then there is the dash-mounted communication screen placed in the centre of the dash. This is standard on the middle GS and upper GT trim; the base GX is not so lucky. The driver can touch the screen to access music, navigation and phone settings but once the car is in motion the screen is only adjustable through a rotary dial controller between the front seats. Mazda places three, easy-to-memories, buttons above the

dial for access to the most common functions. On the top GT model there is even a heads-up display that sits right on top of the driver’s instrument cluster, helping to keep the information high enough that it focuses the driver’s attention on the road. The seats are comfortable and can be fitted with leather on the top model. Even though Mazda lengthened the wheelbase by 60mm, the back seat isn’t long on legroom.
Verdict The standard features list is strong, including keyless entry, push button start, Bluetooth and USB connectivity for $15,995. If you equip the base model with air conditioning and automatic transmission, the price jumps to $18,795. The middle GS trim is the place most Canadians will shop and the range is from $19,695-$22,595 for things like heated seats, leather steering wheel, rain sensing wipers and more. The top GT with the larger engine, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlamps, Bose stereo and navigation, ranges from $25,855$$29,855. As you can see, the price can ratchet up rather quickly. The upside is that this is a car that can provide solid, fun to drive transportation, wrapped in a stylish package. Higher-end models feel like a much more expensive car, with qualities not found previously in this class of car. So, the price might be justified. I truly believe that Mazda is onto something, this is the best car in the compact class. zack@motormouth.ca

Drive By developing the direct injection engines, chassis and transmission at the same time, the Mazda engineers were able to shed weight. The lighter platform and powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp is a nice match on the base and GS trim levels, driving either a 6-speed manual or allnew 6-speed automatic. The top GT is equipped with a 2.5L engine with 184hp but is only available with the automatic. I’m surprised that the manual is not offered with this engine, as driving enthusiasts will be attracted to this engine right away. On the road, the steering is very quick and the feedback well above average. The previous Mazda3 was at the top of the class in terms of driving dynamics and this new model takes it to a whole new level. I’m confident in saying that this new model feels like a much more expensive car.

Best classic cars for ten grand or less by Rob Sass
Most of the focus on the collector car world comes from televised auctions where six-figure cars are the norm, so it’s easy to conclude that the average person is priced out of
2013 FORD Escape SE 2013 KIA Rio SX AWD Full load with Navi A0407 $24,495 SR2169A $19,695
the collector car world. But the fact of the matter is there are still plenty of interesting collectible cars out there for under 10 grand. Granted, they tend to be from the 1970s and 1980s, but they’re all fun to drive and relatively easy to live with. Here are five of our favorites:
2012 NISSAN Altima 2009 HONDA Fit Sport 1 Owner 3.5SR, Near New, $13,995 Low kms • A0407 $25,495 SO2072A
1985-93 Ford Mustang: The third generation or “Fox” platform Mustang brought affordable V-8 muscle back to the masses. Although it was introduced in 1979, better breathing cylinder heads and a re-designed four-barrel carburetor in 1985 pushed horsepower above 200 for the first time since the early 1970s. The relatively light and simple design of the car made the best use of the newfound ponies. While the oldest are just under 30 years old, the collector world is starting to wake up. Still, nice 5.0-liter V-8 examples of all three body styles (coupe, hatchback and convertible) are still available in LX and GT trim for 10 grand or less. 1966-77 Ford Bronco: The Bronco pushes the 10 grand budget the most and you’ll have to look hard to find an unrusted or unmodified original Bronco in this price range, but they do occasionally lurk on Craigslist. Competition for the likes of the International Harvester Scout, early Broncos look right in the way that early Land Rovers do and collectors have taken a big shine to them lately. Buy now. 1965-69 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa coupe: The poor Corvair. Shunned by Chevy fans and import fans alike, it really is a poor-man’s Porsche, with styling on the second generation cars as nice as anything to come out of Germany, Italy or the U.S. at that time. Corvairs pioneered the use of turbocharging, and later cars could be made to handle quite well with some relatively inexpensive modifications, in spite of what Ralph Nader said. Incidentally, the 50th anniversary of the book “Unsafe at Any Speed” is coming up the year after next. Good reason to buy a Corvair, we think. Jay Leno loves his red Corsa Coupe. 1983-91 Porsche 944 coupe: The vintage Porsche market is on fire right now, with some cars appreciating 300 percent or more over the last five years. All have one thing in common — they’re air cooled and the engine is in the back. Water-cooled front-engine Porsches have yet to see the love from collectors, and we think that the 944 is one of the best of the bunch. A derivative of the nicely balanced but underpowered 924, the fender bulges and smoother and more powerful balance shaft-equipped twin-cam four was just was Dr. Porsche ordered to make the 944 a credible performance car. Maintenance doesn’t come cheaply (break a timing belt and you’ll wish you hadn’t been born), but the 944 is a bargain-priced precision instrument for dissecting curvy back roads.

1976 Chevrolet Corvette: Malaise-era Corvettes get a bum rap from most Corvette fans but in reality, they’re quite nice and anything but pathetically slow. The move from gross to net horsepower makes it seem as though power was down more than it really was, and mid-1970s Corvettes came in some great colors with nice options like competition-inspired gymkhana suspension and aluminum wheels. Looks weren’t really compromised by bumper standards with Chevy’s solution of hiding the bumpers under body-colored urethane panels among the best of any manufacturer.

Grand Caravan fit her needs Minivan fits Amy’s lifestyle Amy Lawson, 35, leads an active life. She likes to be outdoors, to play sports, surf, bake and has a thriving social life. Professionally, she was recently promoted to be the Territory Manager for Drydock Footwear Group. Her territory covers British Columbia and Alberta. Being on the road is a sizeable component of her work. When it came time to trade in her Nissan Xtrail – which she loved to pieces – she was torn when deciding what vehicle to purchase. “The Xtrail has been a fabulous car, but I’ve outgrown it and need something that can better accommodate all my equipment,” she says. In the process, she considered SUVs, hatchbacks and crossovers. The Ford Flex, Ford Escape, Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi Outlander were on her list to look at. Amy states, “When I started to research vehicles, the No. 1 thing on my priority list was interior space. I needed lots of it.” She continues, “I didn’t mind There’s a lot of if the vehicle wasn’t sexy! I need functional. Good looks anxiety to buying were secondary to me.” a car. It’s a big Because of her current role, purchase and you it requires travelling around want to make sure the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, BC and Alberyou make the best ta with various promotional choice you can. gear, display units, sample products and more. Alexandra Straub Not to mention, if she can pack in her sports equipment like her bicycle, snowboard or surfboard in, too, that would be even better. Price was also a factor for her. “I had a budget to work with, and I needed my payments to be around $500 a month,” Amy mentions. “And since I’d be spending a fair amount of time behind the wheel, I’d need something that was comfortable, too.” When chatting about potential matches, the idea of a minivan came up. I saw the excitement in her eyes. In her personal life, she is not the typical minivan candidate. With no children to drive to hockey or soccer practice, some people might question her enthusiasm. But to her, it seemed like the perfect fit. “I was just so excited about it. Minivans make life so much easier and you can just do so much with them,” she explains. A few minivans/ minivan-esque vehicles she looked Amy Lawson checks out the interior into were the of a potential purchase. Honda Odyssey, PHOTO by alexandra straub Toyota Sienna and Mazda5. Though the Honda and Toyota appealed to her, it was the Dodge Grand Caravan that had exactly what she was looking for. It was in her price range and had some handy features that would allow easy loading and unloading of her gear. She even really likes its look. Amy tells me, “I can fit two mountain bikes inside with people and still have room for more.” The Dodge Grand Caravan that she selected is the Crewe trim, which also came with some extras. She has a towing package, a rear DVD entertainment system (perfect for passing time on ferry rides!), Stow ‘n Go seats, remote keyless entry to the doors and liftgate and more. While she can’t be happier with her purchase, the signing on the dotted line did make her heart beat quite a bit faster. “There’s a lot of anxiety to buying a car. It’s a big purchase and you want to make sure you make the best choice you

’’
can.” And speaking of choices, the biggest question when selecting her chariot of choice? “Should I get the white one or the black one?!” she jokingly asked. She went with black. Ladies, if you’re looking at buying a new vehicle and would like some suggestions/assistance, email the Car Girl’s Garage and you could potentially be featured in Driveway. Include your name, email address where best to be reached, a little bit about yourself, what you’re looking for and what price range you need to work with. thecargirlsgarage@gmail.com Twitter.com/cargirlsgarage

Poppy campaign begins Friday Courtenay Legion members are poised for the start of the 2013 Poppy Campaign beginning this Friday with the flag-raising at City Hall. Mayor Larry Jangula, accompanied by army and air cadets, Legion president Dave Bell, and 2013 poppy campaign chair Frank Burden, will raise the flag at 5 p.m. to launch the annual drive. The poppy campaign is a critical component in the Legion’s commitment to assisting veterans and their families in need and to assist with muchneeded medical equipment most needed to treat patients during their later years. The Courtenay branch also funds two $1,000 poppy bursaries to graduating students from Vanier and Isfeld secondary schools. Businesses are canvased throughout this week and poppy distribution trays will be located throughout
the city and rural area beginning Friday. Burden, also the service officer for Courtenay Legion Branch 17, says, “Being home to very many retired members of the Cana-
dian Armed Forces, the Comox Valley sees more requests for assistance than we can sometimes meet. “Last year’s campaign raised just over $35,000,� says Burden,
“and we ran out in early October.â€? ••• A new flag-raising ceremony will happen in Comox at the same time Friday. — Courtenay Legion
The Cascadian Crusaders launch their new children’s book The Great Plastic RoundUp in Courtenay and Cumberland this weekend. On Saturday, they will bring the vividly painted Ocean Outreach Book Bus to the Comox Valley Art Gallery from noon too 1:45, then to the opening of the new Cumberland Library from 2 to 4. The Cascadian Crusaders are a local non-profit society committed to ocean awareness through creative education. They aim to inspire children to care for and about the health of the world’s oceans. The new book is a beautifully illustrated tale of one girl’s quest to tackle the huge patch of garbage swirling around the Pacific Ocean. The Cascadian Crusader’s Book Bus is a 30-foot van packed with inspiration and activities and painted in a stunning wraparound mural. On Saturday, children can participate by identifying the ocean
creatures on the bus, taking photos with the ocean mural and learning about the impor-
tance of keeping plastic out of our waterways. — Cascadian Crusaders

WHEN A COMPANY the size of
Torry & Sons closes its doors in a small city like Courtenay, then everyone in this city feels the impact. Being in business in today’s economy can be extremely scary. It has become very difficult and almost impossible to find qualified skilled workers in the Valley, and even if you look outside the Valley for employees you hear the same story. But there are surely a lot of employees that try to force unreasonable and unrealistic wages from their employer. The employer gets an ultimatum and is told that if the desired wage is not paid well then it is off to Alberta. Employees complain if they have to lift 30 pounds here in the Valley but if they need to lift 200 pounds in Alberta and are worked ragged, then they are proud of it. In order to pay high wages, you, as an employer need to be able to afford this. This is impossible if the local economy is not supported. People would rather drive to Nanaimo, Victoria, the Mainland or even the States to spend their money rather than to support their own local businesses. We are all consumers. You should support your local small and medium-sized businesses. The smaller companies have more to offer in terms of hiring and employee support than those larger enterprises. And if you still haven’t noticed yet, small and medium-sized companies always offer way better customer service. Have you heard of small companies that have recalls? Ask yourself this: What happens here when the younger generation leaves from here because there is “no work here?” Who will be left to do

the work? Or will all smaller towns die out? You will leave it up to the older generation to pick up the slack. But for how long can they do that? Many are either retired, or about to. Keep it local, people. If the Valley offers you what you are looking for then purchase it here. It makes no sense to purchase the exact same item elsewhere. Support your community that you live in.

Courtenay area is not immune to bullying. Medical, physical and emotional stresses from this workplace continue to affect my everyday life. Associates and staff, in general were professional; however, it only took one bully, of fewer than 10 partners, to render me unemployable long-term. I have not been able to apply for work since because I still carry the effects: distrust of employers, fears of employer powers and constant vigilance. Thankfully, the community counsellor provided through my employment benefits explained why someone becomes a bully and the differences between being a victim and being a target. I have filed my documentation and have referenced it to share my experiences with others. As an adult, I was able to exit the situation and have since become self-employed. However, young children and teens don’t always have resources, education or knowledge of what alternatives are available. Even one suicide is too many. Our young people (rather, all of us) need to talk about bullying and its effect on society. Let’s get it out of the closet, out from behind closed doors, and into the light of public scrutiny. We might be targets, but we do not have to be victims. October is anti-bullying month. I choose not to sign my letter; anyone who would like to get in touch with me may do so through this newspaper. This decision is to minimize any further bullying from my former employers, who may feel my name infers their identity.
THANKS TO THE person trying to
protect wildlife from the unleashed dogs at Kitty Coleman Gardens. The Environment Ministry ‘s BC Conservation Officer Services site has an online report form, and there’s a 24-hour hotline: 877-952-RAPP (7277); cell dial 7277. They accept reports of “known or suspected violations of fisheries, wildlife, or environmental protection laws.” Your name isn’t required, but might help in the investigation. Photos of the dog(s), owner’s car, licence number might also help.
DOZENS OF YELLOW roses going to Chris and his lovely ladies at Yiamas Greek Taverna. On behalf of Shoppers Drug Mart in Courtenay, we would like to thank you for all of your efforts during our Tree of Life fundraiser event in October. Not only was your facility inviting and comfortable, the atmosphere the staff of Yiamas created was unmatched. The fantastic and efficient service, the patience shown throughout the entire night, and the absolutely delicious food that was catered to us … we would not have been able to have our fun and exciting fundraiser this year without the amazing facility and staff offered to us by Yiamas Greek Taverna. Thank you, Chris and staff.

sponses to questions in the House of Commons regarding the Mike Duffy scandal simply do not respect the people asking the questions nor the citizens of Canada. Opposition, in Question Period, continues to ask questions and Harper and his caucus continue to give non-answers.

HAVE YOUR SAY…
what went on in the PMO’s office regarding the payments to Mr. Duffy and who knew what when. If we cannot believe the PMO’s office and/or Harper, then how are we to believe his infomercial regarding the free trade deal with Europe? After listening to Mr. Duffy’s lawyer, there are a lot of questions the Conservatives need to answer. Perhaps our MP, John Duncan, can encourage his party to provide the asked for information. Until then, the federal Conservatives are simply tossing around a load of barnyard excess. The Conservatives’ performance in the House of Commons looks more like the railcar fire in Alberta; a lot of heat, smoke, and oil/gas. Anything of substance is gone.

Halloween at museum
Haunted House returns to LINC For the past six weeks youth in Ghoul School at Courtenay Recreation’s The LINC Youth Centre have been busy planning and preparing for their annual Haunted House. This year’s Creepy Carnival theme — complete with eerie clowns, sinister magicians, and frightening carnival games, is sure to spook even the bravest souls. “I love how organized the youth and volunteers have been this year — they have had a plan from the beginning and haven’t wasted any time putting it into action. It’s really coming together!” explains youth worker Alexis Forbes. “I think visitors will also like the interactive components of the Haunted House this year.”
The Courtenay and District Museum will host a Halloween family event in vintage style this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Have a fun time playing Boo Bowling or Pin the Spider on the Web. If you are brave, we dare you to stick your hand into scary “mystery” boxes which are
full of things like icky spiders, brains, maggots, eyeballs or witch’s hair. If your aim is good, try throwing a pumpkin in a bucket, or guess how many candies are in a jar. We’ll also have scary storytelling by Pat Trask, a craft area to make a take home colourful 3D spider and
a Halloween goodie sale. Admission is by donation of $2 per person (adults and children). Proceeds from donations and the goodie sale will go towards purchasing a larger fish tank for our ever-growing African lungfish named Pam. — Courtenay and District Museum

A business for true mustard lovers
She likes tasty food, enjoys cooking and wanted to minimize her intake of preservatives and chemicals. That’s how Nancy Farey, owner of The Mustard Lady, got her start making mustards in her Courtenay kitchen in 2011 as a hobby. First she shared her creations with family and friends, who gave her mustards rave reviews. Like many entrepreneurs, she was encouraged by these fans to make her mustards available on the retail market. And so she did. The owner of Interiors By Nancy used her spare time to experiment and tweak her recipes in preparation for a test market in the Comox Valley. She got her FoodSafe certification and complied with VIHA specifications so she could safely make and package mustards in a variety of flavours. Originally presenting her mustards under

the name, Mustards By Nancy, Farey found that the Little Red Church Market and various craft fairs were great venues to get her products out there and to get on-the-spot feedback as people tasted her flavours from the display samples. The positive feed-
back and amount of repeat customers propelled Farey into full production in time for this year’s gift-giving season. This month, Farey officially introduced the business to market under the name, The Mustard Lady. The company’s mus-
tards are available in 190 ml jars in the following flavours: horseradish, ancient grains, many fruited, honey, hot pepper, lemon, mango and herb. She also offers a ‘sampler pack’ so customers can mix-and-match for their gift giving. These jars are 110 ml. Already encouraged by customers to expand her product line, The Mustard Lady creates custom gift baskets that can include mustards of choice. Delivery and shipping are available, with a percentage of any November and December sales being donated to the Comox Valley Food Bank. For true mustard lovers, The Mustard Lady also offers a Mustard Club, which allows customers to earn a free jar after purchasing six. Farey has been a resident of the Comox Valley since 1989. She has operated her painting/
BC Chamber calls for spending control
As B.C. celebrates Small Business Week, the BC Chamber is challenging municipalities to support small businesses through spending discipline, low business tax multipliers and businessfriendly policies. “It’s easy to pay lip service to supporting small businesses, but what this sector really needs is some tangible relief from its tax and administrative burden,” said John Winter, president/CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. Due to different tax rates, B.C. businesses pay multiple times the
property tax bill that a resident would on an equivalent size of property. The amount by which a resident’s tax rate is multiplied to generate the business tax rate is called a business tax multiplier. While some municipalities have made strides in recent years on lowering these multipliers, Winter said B.C.’s worst-offending communities are still exacting four or five times more tax from small businesses than they would from residents on an equal-sized property. “It’s well known that businesses don’t use
anywhere near this proportion of municipal services,” Winter said. “These high tax burdens on small businesses aren’t just unfair – they’re untenable.” He said the BC Chamber’s call for property tax relief for small business and for business-friendly
policies aligns with a recent UBCM report’s call for municipalities to partner with local businesses to foster economic development. “Municipalities have a real opportunity to boost their local economies by creating a competitive tax environment where businesses can thrive,” Winter said.

No meters wasting water Victoria has finally unveiled proposed amendments to the province’s hopelessly antiquated Water Act. Existing legislation, more than a century old, was crafted to regulate surface water use to benefit farmers, miners and tiny clumps of early settlers. With today’s larger population and elevated industrial demands, it is unacceptable that B.C. remains the lone province with no legal protection of groundwater and aquifers. In presenting a 100-page document last week, Environment Minister Mary Polak admitted as much about one of the province’s most-valuable yet often-undervalued resources. Groundwater can be used without government approval or fees, Polak added, hinting at perhaps the strongest motivation for cash-poor Victoria. The government expects to collect $5 million annually, mostly from industrial users. Domestic wells would be excluded. A Water Sustainability Act would harmonize groundwater and surface water regulation as well as raise protection of surface water. Conservation would be encouraged. This comes at a crossroads in Comox Valley water management. Some jurisdictions use meters, while some do not. Metered rural residents are upset because some of us in municipalities pay less than they will. That will be true as long as we have so many local governments, they can’t agree on a unified position and some refuse to install water meters. Meters are the only way to accurately measure how much water is used by households and companies. Without them, those who use less water will subsidize large users. In communities with a flat rate, many of us subsidize large users and water wasters. Without meters, leaks are undetected. Those who say we live in a rainforest are blissfully and/or willfully ignorant to the fact that the system can deliver only so much water. Instead of promoting conservation, communities without meters encourage waste. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Water meters inevitable Dear editor, The announcement that VIHA has allowed the CVRD “filtration exclusion” requires far more fanfare and celebration than it is currently being given. CVRD staff from the Property Services and Water Services branches are to be commended for their diligence and effort in accomplishing this. The deferral of a filtration plant, estimated at $32 million, is a huge boon to all users of the Comox Lake water system, and was a major goal identified in the 2011 Regional Water Supply Strategy. If the political will can now be generated to further protect and control the watershed, and pursue the deep-water intake project, this cost could be completely eliminated. In other words, with some careful planning we can avoid spending $32 million or more on a filtration plant for our water system — forever. Of course, this may mean boating and recreation restrictions on Comox Lake, but would you rather risk the quality of the water we drink every day and the cost to build and operate an otherwise-unnecessary filtration plant? The announcement that the Province has rejected a request to increase the water license for this system should not have come as a surprise to anyone. To quote from the Regional Water Supply Strategy of April 2011 (section 3.1.4 – page 26): “However, the Province has indicated quite strongly, as further evidenced by recent water license increases in other BC jurisdictions, that any increase to the licensed amount for the CVRD would require significant demand measures be put in place, such as water meters. Most recently, the Village of Cumberland had their water license increased, however it was contingent on the installation of universal water meters. Funding
for the water meters in Cumberland was partially by Provincial Grant monies and partially by the Village’s Development Cost Charge fund.” At the end of the day, universal water metering will be required for all users of the Comox Lake water system — which includes Courtenay, Comox and some portions of the electoral areas. It is high time to get on with this project and allow the operators of the water system to properly manage it. Furthermore, leak detection without universal metering is like throwing darts blindfolded and standing on your head. To properly manage and maintain the water system, reduce leaks and reduce consumption, meters for all users combined with appropriate pricing is an absolute necessity. Finally, the Regional Water Supply Strategy identified that between $146.6 and $211.2 million will have to be invested in our potable water infrastructure over the next 50 years. These cost estimates all con-
sidered water use based on universal metering. If metering is not implemented, and water use continues at current rates, these costs can be expected to increase between 20 and 30 per cent. Unfortunately, upon completion of the Regional Water Supply Strategy (with an estimated cost of close to $1 million in consulting fees) the political will did not exist to adopt any of the recommendations — even the basic strategic framework. Regardless, CVRD staff have continued to pursue the goals of the strategy, and their recent success with achieving filtration exclusion should serve as further confirmation that the Strategy represents the right direction to move in. Hopefully the CVRD board can now move to adopt all of the recommendations of the strategy, and ensure appropriate planning and development of our potable water supply continues.

CVRD spending odd Dear editor, The CVRD board is moving forward with a parcel tax for parks. Many rural residents support parks, and their own green space, even though they will pay more than their neighbours in Courtenay and Comox, for irrigation. Rural ratepayers may be surprised that the CVRD spends much more of their tax dollars on planning department salaries, than on parks department salaries. Parks are growing in number and size, while development is dwindling under the Regional Growth Strategy. The CVRD spending priorities
seem disconnected and expensive. Something to think about when voting on a CVRD-managed garbage pickup service. Phil Harrison, Area B

What CVRD survey?
Dear editor, Re: Rural garbage collection referendum. So, we are to have a rural garbage collection referendum in the next few weeks, and the way it is being presented it sounds like it is a done deal before we even cast a vote. A poll (so it claimed) determined over 70 per cent of those polled are for it. What poll was that? I wasn’t aware of one, and no one I have talked to was aware of it either. This has come as a complete surprise (and an unpleasant one at that). Those in Area A who want garbage pickup pay privately and are generally pleased with the quality and flexibility of the service. Those who prefer to handle it on their own do so. This is called freedom of choice. Remember that principle? It is becoming less and less well-known in today’s world. I take my household garbage and recycling every four or five weeks to the Cumberland dump (along with other junk that may have built up over that time — garbage that wouldn’t be part of the pickup program).
At the dump, I dutifully sort out the recycling and put the garbage items into the appropriate places — for the cost of $4. So, for less than $50 a year I take care of all my household garbage. This works well for me and is convenient and flexible. Under the new system, I would be expected to walk up a very steep driveway to put ‘one bucket only’ on the shoulder of the Island Highway on a weekly basis, in all weather. To me this is extremely inconvenient and I would still have to make regular dump runs with my other garbage. It is a service that I doubt I would ever use. So I ask myself, “Why should I have to pay for something that is much more expensive and very inconvenient; if used at all?” If this is passed I will be faced with a new added expense (let’s call it a ‘garbage tax’). This is not good news for those who are on a fixed income. Remember, opting out will NOT be allowed! Freedom of choice — what was Gary Dane, that? Union Bay
Dear editor, As a longtime resident of the Comox Valley I know how important it is for our community to have hospice beds. I continue to be perplexed and frustrated that we do not have comparable and adequate services in our community. Personally, I have seen far too many friends die in ward beds at the hospital or at home where their families struggled to care for them at the expense of their own health. Recently when down Island I heard about the wonderful new food program for hospital patients in Victoria. When I explored this, I found that the additional yearly cost to the Vancouver Island Health Authority budget was just under
$800,000. Now, I’m all for good food for people. However, it seems like care for people who are dying and their families should take precedence. One has to wonder when our health authority is going to make this care a priority for those of us in communities like the Comox Valley. We continue to hear campaign promises that seem all too hollow after the election as mentioned in your article. It’s long past time for the Comox Valley to have the services we all need and deserve when we or our loved ones are approaching death and dying. Ron Bowie, Comox Valley
Dear editor, We, the volunteer board of Kitty Coleman Provincial Park, would like to respond to the recent letter written by Carole Gilmore Hughes (Record, Oct. 15). She is correct that the park is a nature reserve. That is why the protection of the ecosystem is a high priority of the board, although we also recognize the value of providing public access to the park. In fact, as a Class C park that receives no government funding, we rely solely on revenues generated from campers and boaters to cover the costs of taking care of the park. This includes restoring the shoreline and dealing with damage by winter storms among other things. Off-season, non-paying park users have asked us to provide security, cleanup services and waste removal for the eight months when the paid caretakers are not there but that is not feasible at this time. Instead, we use the “honour system”
and expect park users to obey provincial laws and to be considerate of other users without being told or penalized. Provincial laws require park users to: • Keep dogs on leash; • Leave no waste behind; • Remove no plants, rocks, or wood from forest or shoreline; • Do no harm to the flora or fauna; • Light only small fires using your own clean wood in the fire pits provided (and extinguish afterwards). Most park users seem to understand and follow these laws. After Hughes’ letter, however, there appears to be even more people catching on to the importance of Kitty Coleman Park and their role in helping to preserve it for the enjoyment of all. Remember, the shore and forest ecosystems were here long before humans and their companion horses, dogs, and cats. Kitty Coleman Park board

“PERHAPS WE NEED live theatre now more than ever,” writes Lisa Grant, who appreciates watching the talented performers of Rainbow Youth Theatre. PHOTO BY TERRY PENNEY
Live theatre so totally genuine
Dear editor, Rainbow Youth Theatre wonderfully celebrates 80 shows in 25 years with its fall family show Seven Brides for Seven Brothers at the Sid Williams Theatre. Produced by Doug Barr and Rosie Smith and expertly and artistically directed by the talented Danette Bell with input from Canadian theatre royalty’s Jeff Hyslop, this show thrives as a show not to be missed. The sets, costumes, props, choreography, singing, live orchestra, and fight scene (assisted by Danette’s husband Derek Smith) all feed the senses. You will laugh and laugh, and marvel at how the large cast of diverse ages takes us back to the early 1850s where we are reminded that people dressed, spoke, and acted differently from now, but in their hearts still felt much the same. Perhaps we need live theatre now more than ever; it is so genuine and inspiring to see and hear live individuals sing, dance, and act. It is also refreshing to see no one use a cellphone or other technological device for a couple of hours, and to be entertained by such talented children, teens, and adults, who pour their hearts and souls on the stage each night. Congratulations to the many behind the scenes and on the stage who make all of this happen. You can still buy remaining tickets by phoning the Sid at 250-338-2430 or online at sidwilliamstheatre.com. The final shows will be this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Lisa Grant, Don’t miss this show! Comox Valley
Dear editor, I read the editorial “School districts stuck with fallout from Victoria” (Record, Oct. 15) with interest since the situation mirrors what social services have been dealing with since May 2013. At that time, Community Social Services Employer Association (CSSEA), an entity founded and funded by the government to represent the sector, negotiated wage lifts totalling three per cent over two years. Since then, the government has refused to reimburse the cost of the wage increases, putting many social service agencies in jeopardy. This is only one of the additional costs negotiated by a government agent with no accountability to the sector. Government agents negotiated the implementation of Municipal Pension Plan (MPP) in 2010, and subsequently the government has refused to reimburse costs above the first-year enrolment costs. Agencies are contending with everincreasing shortfalls due to additional enrolments each year. It is always interesting to me that during election campaigns, the person in the street inevitably identifies health or education as the most pressing issues on their mind. We need to start recognizing that the burden on our health and education systems stems in large part from the neglect of our social service sector. Our current government has systematically deconstructed the social service sector over the past decade, resulting in the shameful statistic that B.C. had the highest rate of child poverty in Canada for seven years running. We were No. 2 last year but we have reclaimed the No. 1 spot again this year. Poverty is going up, not down. Please support the social service sector in your community. We provide great returns on the investment. Deborah Joyce, Comox

Harvest festival Saturday
The Comox Valley Multicultural and Immigrant Support Society (CVMISS) is once again holding a harvest festival in the Comox Valley. You are invited this Saturday to the Elks Hall in Courtenay at 6:30 p.m. The evening will start with a potluck dinner, so if you plan to attend, start thinking about a harvest festival food from your country of origin that you can contribute to the buffet table. Everyone coming should bring a food contribution large enough to feed their own family. After a multicultural harvest dinner, music will be provided by the Black Swan Fiddlers and dancing for the whole family. Almost every country celebrates a harvest festival during the fall around the harvest moon. In Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving, in many Asian countries they celebrate the Moon Festival, and in Germany they celebrate Oktoberfest. These and many other harvest festivals are celebrated around the world with different names and dates. The Celtic harvest festival is called Samhain, which is Gaelic for “summer’s end.” It is the third and final harvest and was considered the most important of the ancient Celtic feasts. In the agricultural year, Samhain also marked the first day of winter, when the herders led the cattle and sheep down from their summer hillside pastures to the shelter of the stable. The Black Swan Fiddlers are a Celtic band that plays traditional Irish tunes, foottapping jigs and reels, along with soulful Irish ballads. They have kept the traditional Celtic music tradition alive and well in the Valley for five years. Tickets are available at Laughing Oyster Bookshop. For more information or to reserve tickets that you can pick up at the door, call Jin at 250-898-9567 or e-mail cvmiss@gmail. com. — Comox Valley Multicultural and Immigrant Support Society
A MULTICULTURAL HARVEST festival happens this Saturday at the Elks Hall in Courtenay.
St. Andrew’s Church and Cemetery on Dingwall Road in Courtenay has been the final resting place for many early pioneers and families. The graceful oaks and maples and charming earlyspring flowers have been a canopy for all those graves.
This Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon, volunteers are welcome to a leaf-raking bee in the cemetery grounds, including an opportunity to clean up all the graves of our ancestors and families. Rakes, bags and refreshments will be provided.
Guides, Scouts and the Boys and Girls Club have also been invited. For more information, phone Jessie Scott at the Church of St. John the Divine at 250334-4331. — Church of St. John the Divine TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

Can my dentist do botox? Dentists have extensive knowledge of the head and neck anatomy, as it is the area they work on daily. Dentists are skilled at injections as they routinely give injections in sensitive areas. Botox has therapeutic uses and is not just for cosmetics. If you clench or grind excessively, Botox can reduce these habits, saving your teeth and relaxing your tense facial muscles. People who suffer from headaches are getting relief with Botox. Also, people who suffer from excessive sweating can use Botox to inhibit the sweat glands. In 1992 it was two Canadian ophthalmologists who first used Botox to treat wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.This treatment has been Dr. Jana Lamb, DMD approved by the FDA and it is reported to last up 4-6 months. Dentist Botox treatment offers advantages for men and women. Botox is a purified protein which is safely metabolized by the body.The appointments are short and you are able to carry on with your day as it allows for natural movement of the face. Results last up to 6 months or even longer with repeated use. The CDSBC has approved the use of Botox in dental offices. For more information or to find out if Botox will work for you please contact Dr. Jana Lamb for a Complimentary Cosmetic Consult at 250-287-7343. 250.336.2006 2763 Dunsmuir Avenue Box 468 Cumberland, BC www.cumberlanddentalcentre.com

COURTENAY, B.C.
His dad’s tenor carrying him far Paula Wild
Record Arts
SCOTTISH-BORN SINGER JOHN McDermott “got into the music business at an age when most people are getting out.” His fans who are glad he did can hear him Nov. 2 at the Sid Williams Theatre.
John McDermott always liked singing but never considered it as a profession. But the response from a Halifax audience on Oct. 5, 1993, convinced the tenor to give up his day job in the circulation department of one of Toronto’s daily newspapers, The Sun. “I got into the music business at an age when most people are getting out,” he says. “It wasn’t planned, it just happened.” On Nov. 2, McDermott will bring his well-known voice and well-loved songs to the Sid Williams Theatre. The Looking Back…20th Anniversary Tour includes selections from early recordings, as well as material from recent releases. “It’s hard to believe 20 years have gone by,” he says. “But it’s fun to be where I am now as I have more stories and songs to share. I never for a second believe people are there to see me. It’s the songs and stories that stand the test of time.” McDermott was born in Glasgow, Scotland and immigrated to Canada with his family when he was 10. He attended St. Michael’s Choir School in Toronto for two years but the real foundation of his vocal knowledge was acquired as a youngster at family singalongs. “I was blessed to inherit my father’s voice,” says McDermott. “He’s the finest tenor I’ve ever heard. “I grew up in a family of 12 and we all sang on Friday and Saturday nights so performing in front of people never fazed me. But when people are paying to hear you, you really want to do a good job and write good material.” Although many people count McDermott’s renditions of Danny Boy and Old Man among their favourite songs, the tenor’s work has become more personal over the years. “It was hard for me to talk about some things in the beginning,” McDermott admits. “But it’s easier now. For instance, Along the Road to Hell is about my brother, Michael, who drank himself to death. “We all have some tragedy in our lives. Sharing our stories is a way of
connecting emotionally, of finding that common thread everyone can relate to.” McDermott, no stranger to touring, recently started a marathon circuit of Canada and the U.S. that will keep him on the road most of the fall, winter and into spring. But for him, it’s all fun. “I love performing and we change the songs each night to keep it fresh,” he says. “The excitement is still there but the material is more intimate now.” To celebrate his 20th anniversary, McDermott put together a boxed set of two DVDs and two CDs. Music includes songs from his first CD, as well as other favourites, while the DVD features never seen before footage shot in the McDermott family basement in 1995. The boxed set will be available online at ww.johnmcdermott.com in mid-November. In addition to countless concerts, more than 25 albums and several Juno nominations, McDermott was awarded a Canadian Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Bob Hope Award for his work on behalf of veterans. A current project close to his heart is a drive to raise $3.6 million to enhance and expand the Palliative Care unit — K-Wing Veterans Centre — at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital. (Learn more at www.mcdermotthousecnada.org.) As for visiting the Comox Valley, McDermott estimates he’s performed at the Sid close to a dozen times, and looks forward to seeing some familiar faces. “I always spend time in the lobby before the show and during intermission,” he says. “Because it’s a family show, I’ve seen children grow up who, in turn, are bringing their children to the show.” The Looking Back…20th Anniversary Tour concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Sid Williams Theatre (www.sidwiliamstheare. com). Paula Wild is a published author and regular contributor to the Comox Valley Record’s arts and entertainment section.

You will be treated to a variety of images ranging from traditional landscapes, wildlife, portraits, seascapes, architecture to abstracts, representing a variety of photographic styles. The CV Camera Club began as a handful of camera buffs over 40 years ago and has grown to more than 150 members. Advances in digital photography, guest speakers, hands on workshops, and field trip opportunities have all contributed to the growing membership. The club’s education component encourages members to reach beyond their comfort zone to produce exciting images and many photographers in the
club are ready and willing to mentor new enthusiasts. A reception for the show will be held on the evening of Oct. 29 from 7 to 9 p.m. Everyone is welcome to

BC/DC really brings the noise There are tribute bands, and then there’s BC/DC. They were born of bush party ashes in the summer of 1999. Some 500 unexpected gigs later, Canada’s BC/DC has systematically redefined the concept of a tribute band, garnering iconic status amongst diehard fans, agents, and venues from Vancouver to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Unlike many tribute acts claiming to be North America’s No. 1 Clone or Just Like the Real Thing, BC/DC has turned the tables. The band takes a comedic approach, claiming the
of all the classic songs with absolute authority. You get tired just watching them. BC/DC is heavily rooted in the Bon Scott-era catalogue (Dirty Deeds, TNT, Jailbreak, Let There Be Rock), but also covers AC/DC’s second “golden era” with all the essentials; Back in Black, For Those About to Rock, Hells Bells, and more. For more about the band, check out www.bcdc.ca. Tickets are available at the Waverley Hotel, Bop City, by phoning 250-336-8322 and at cumberlandvillageworks.com. — Cumberland Village Works

Adding to the schtick, the band members all go by comic aliases — lead singer Brendan Raftery’s Brian (Bon) Johnscottson paying respects to both AC/DC’s famous frontmen. BC/DC’s live show has become a legendary, and necessary, “rite-of-passage” amongst their unwavering supporters and believers. With over-the-top stage energy, they deliver every last note

WiL live in Cumberland to promote live album From the time WiL Mimnaugh can remember, he was sitting in on the Friday Night Garage Sessions,’ where his parents would gather friends and jam to the likes of Johnny Cash, Chet Atkins and Hank Williams. Before reaching his teens he would sit for hours practising on his father’s old Yamaki. After his father noted his son’s aptitude, ‘Billy’ woke on Christmas morning 1981 to find his very own Fender acoustic sitting under the tree. Never one to love school, he headed to Vancouver to try his hand as a chalkboard artist for restaurants like Earls but music was never far from his

‘Born showman’ visiting Village Muse Books in Cumberland will showcase Montreal author/musician/actor Norman Nawrocki on Oct. 26 with his new novel, Cazzarola! Anarchy, Romani, Love, Italy. Norman will present a solo theatre piece, and live music (sampled/looped violin) inspired by the book and there will be a roundtable discussion. The book, Cazzarola! spans 130 years in the life of a family of Italian anarchists. They resist Fascism in Italy, including the recent wave of contemporary neo-Fascism sweeping Europe. Cazzarola! is also a love story about an Italian boy who falls for a Roma refugee girl. A longtime figure on Canada’s underground music, cabaret and literary scene, Nawrocki has an international reputation with his bands and as a solo stage artist. Nawrocki’s last book was Red: Quebec student strike and social revolt poems (Les Pages Noires, Montreal, 2013). His last album: Letters from Poland/Lettres de Pologne (Les Pages Noires, Montréal, 2006). Nawrocki will be in Cumberland on Saturday, Oct 26 at 2 p.m. Village Muse Books & Art Supplies is Cumberland’s newest space for radical inspiration and is located in the heart of Cumberland at 2720 Dunsmuir Ave. You can reach the bookstore for more info about this event by calling 250-400-LION

the Barley Mill Pub led to his first gig and soon enough he was playing his favourite covers to a packed house five nights a week — being the early ‘90s that meant Nirvana, Jeff Buckley, Pearl Jam and Radiohead but one day he simply decided he needed to write his own music. In 2002 WiL released his debut album Both Hands and sold 6,000 copies off stage in its first year leading to three WCMA’s nominations including a nod for Producer and Best Live Act, which allowed him to tour for the next three years with bands like Colin James, Xavier Rudd, the Tea Party and Matthew Good. In 2011 WiL’s original song Roam was chosen to represent Travel Alberta’s awardwinning ad campaign Remember to Breathe. Shortly afterward, he was commissioned to compose the theme song (called Ride) for the Calgary Stampede’s 100th anniversary. The flagship video Alberta, featuring Roam, won the Diamond Award in 2012 for Best Overall Entry at ITB Berlin (considered the Oscars of the international travel and tourism industry) and three awards in 2013 including gold for the video Summer, featuring WiL’s brand new song There Is.

ARTS BRIEFS War years recalled Writer brings book Writer Monique Gray Smith will visit Laughing Oyster Bookshop this Friday at 7 p.m. to introduce her semi-autobiographical book, Tilly: A Story of Hope and Resilience. Her story is a revealing, powerful account of a young Indigenous woman coming of age in Canada in the 1980s. With compassion, insight, and humour, Gray Smith illuminates the 20th-century history of Canada’s First Peoples — forced displacement, residential schools, tuberculosis hospitals, the Sixties Scoop. All are welcome to hear Monique Gray Smith discuss her book and to join in the conversation. Laughing Oyster is at 286 Fifth St. in Courtenay. — Laughing Oyster Bookshop

Book about hockey Grant Lawrence is a well-known CBC Radio 3 host and a musician — perhaps less known is his passion for and fear of hockey. Now all is revealed in his new book The Lonely End of the Rink, Confessions of a Reluctant Goalie. In this deeply personal, yet incredibly witty memoir about Grant’s relationship with hockey, the narrative passes back and forth between tales of Grant’s life and a fascinating history of hockey. To introduce this new book, Grant will bring stories, a slide show and short film to the Laughing Oyster Bookshop this Sunday at — Laughing Oyster Bookshop 3 p.m.
Opera at Rialto The next Metropolitan Opera at the Rialto is Shostakovich’s The Nose this Saturday at 10 a.m. William Kentridge stormed the Met with his inventive production of Shostakovich’s opera, which dazzled opera and art lovers alike in its inaugural run in 2010. Now Paulo Szot reprises his acclaimed performance of a bureaucrat, whose satirical misadventures in search of his missing nose are based on Gogol’s comic story. Pavel Smelkov conducts. Tickets are on sale at the Rialto. For more information, call 250338-5502. — Rialto Theatre
Sadly, over the past few years our Second World War veterans have been declining. Alongside this passing is the decline of music from the war years (most notably the music of the First World War and Second World War.) The Evergreen Club promises to reverse this trend with a nostalgic and highly entertaining musical tribute, Memories of the War Years: a Musical Tribute to Veterans. This event will be Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. in the Flor-
ence Filberg Centre Conference Hall. The program will feature songs such as Pack Up Your Troubles and A Long Way to Tipperary from the First World War as well as White Cliffs of Dover and We’ll Meet Again from the Second World War. In addition to rousing singalong choruses, the show will feature comedy and dancing. It will end with a ceremony to remember the fallen and a tribute to the veterans. Air, naval, and army cadets
Sid has films to raise funds The Sid Williams Theatre Society will revisit the theatre’s original history as a cinema through a number of film events this season.

Kicking things off Oct. 27 is the 1995 family classic Casper, based on Casper the Friendly Ghost animated cartoons and comic books. Generously sponsored by Nicole M. Deters of Investors
Group, these family films are fundraising events for the Sid Williams Theatre Society. The Sid was a stateof-the-art movie house when it opened 78 years ago, then known as the Bickle Theatre.

Coolest sounds at the Av
It’s almost a year and a half since the Anderson Jazz Syndicate appeared on the Thursday Night Jazz stage, and you are invited to listen to some of the coolest jazz music in the Valley. For the Oct. 24 gig, the Syndicate will appear as a trio, bringing its signature sound to jazz standards, originals, bossa tunes and ballads. The group is under the leadership of Comox guitar player Doug Anderson, who adds original compositions to the performance, including Dragonfly Trail, a composition he wrote for a favourite Gulf Island location. Key among these will be a terrific new number, Shadowgraphs, a Latin tune composed in threre-quarter time. Doug will be accompanied by the perennial John Hyde on bass, and Aaron Amar on drums. Amar brings his professional jazz experience from Toronto, where he was active on the jazz scene for several years. Expect to hear a mixture of standard tunes as well. As Doug says, “For us, the trio setting offers an open format which allows for a great deal of musical interaction and interplay, and therefore each instrument plays a pivotal role in shaping the music.” Show time is 7:30 p.m. at the Avalanche Bar & Grill on Eighth Street in Courtenay. For more information on this, and other Georgia Straight Jazz Society events, visit www. georgiastraightjazz. com or follow us on Facebook. ••• Jazz fans, please note: tickets are now on sale for the Turboprop concert Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. Check out http:// youtu.be/GgLnVzTqZxg if you want a free sample. Tickets are available from Bop City in Courtenay, Red Carpet in Comox and the Avalanche. — Georgia Straight Jazz Society
Fox releasing his new CD Corwin Fox is set to release his new album, Man and Her Symbols, at an exciting double bill featuring songwriter/author Rae Spoon. It will be a lovely intimate show this Saturday at Cumberland United Church (2688 Penrith). Tickets are $10, available at the door at 7:30 p.m.; music starts at 8. All ages are welcome. Man and Her Symbols is a sparse, lyrical album that explores simply clawhammer banjo and voice. The range of emotion and musicality are striking considering the selfimposed limitations of this recording. But the resulting CD ends up really showcasing the songwriting, something Corwin has been doing for almost two decades. Fox is a Cumberland songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who has been hailed as “a shining light in Canadian roots music” by Doug Cox (artistic director, Vancouver Island Music Festival). Known as much for his studio expertise as his live show, Corwin has toured extensively across Canada, the U.S. and Australia playing venues and festivals large and small, some by himself, some with his current bands, Morlove or The Chimney Swallows, and some with such luminaries as Fred Penner, Shane Koyczan and the Short Story Long, Alex Cuba, Kim Barlow and CR
CUMBERLAND MUSICIAN/PRODUCER CORWIN Fox will unveil his new album Saturday on a bill with Rae Spoon. Avery. Born in Halifax and raised in Ottawa, Corwin went to high school at Canterbury High, a school for the arts, where he studied theatre and learned to play bass and guitar. From 2000-2002 Corwin attended Fanshawe College (London, ON) to take the Music Industry Arts Recording Engineering program. While there, he won the award in 2001 for best song from EMI Music Publishing Canada with a song called Doctor God. Back on the West Coast in 2006, Corwin was asked for the first time to produce a recording for another artist: Sarah Noni Metzner’s Daybreak
Mourning (Dog My Cat Records) with which she won Best Solo Artist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards (2007). Since then, he has produced over 30 albums for other artists and worked in the studio on over 100 albums in various capacities as well as composing music for theatre and documentary soundtracks. Corwin continues to write, record and tour, although the bulk of his time is now gladly spent in his Cumberland studio and hanging out with his kids.

no other. My Prairie Home, Spoon’s latest album, explores the meaning of home when it is no longer a place one can return to. As a young person, Rae used music both as an escape and as a place to build a world they could live in safely. Songs about death, coming out as queer during high school, and surviving abuse are all sung by a voice that can break a heart and fill it with hope at the same time. The album spans their early musical influences from folk and gospel to indierock and grunge. Rae has been nominated for The Polaris Music Prize, CBC Radio 3 Bucky Awards, and the Galaxy Rising Star Award. Rae’s first book, First Spring Grass Fire, was published by Arsenal Pulp Press in September 2012. The book was a finalist for a Lambda Award in the transgender fiction category, as well as shortlisted for an Expozine Alternative Press Award. — Corwin Fox

Teaching your child how to not be a sex object
Question: We have a 12-year-old daughter who wants to wear a Halloween costume that we think is too sexy for her age. She says everyone else is dressing up like this, and from what we can see she is right. We are probably not going to allow it, but are really worried about her and other girls her age. How can we help her see that all this focus on sex at a really young age is not good? How can we help her make good decisions for herself? Answer: The issues you raise are alarmingly familiar to families today. Our culture seems intent on sexualizing younger and younger children. At the same time the technology available to young people makes keeping an eye on their communication and

The age-old cry “but everyone else is doing it” has never been a good reason for any behaviour. It is important that parents make their expectations for their children very clear. In a confusing world our kids need something solid to hang onto. Even though they may sometimes try to get around our rules they are secure in knowing that there are walls.
Deer whistles useless You may have seen them, a pair of small whistles that you attach to your vehicle to scare deer away and prevent collisions with them. The intent is for the movement of your vehicle to force air through them and produce sound, or ultrasound that keeps deer off the highway and safely out of your path. The answer hasn’t changed from the first time I wrote about this in the 1990s. Keep your money in your pocket, they don’t work. The average deer has the same hearing range that humans do. This means that like you, the deer cannot hear ultrasonic whistles. It doesn’t take

much thought to decide just how effective these will be. Audible whistles emit sound around three and 12 kHz depending on whether they are open- or closeended. Roadside tests found that the noise from the whistles was not significantly louder than the road noise created by the vehicle. If other noise is present in the environment the whistles can be even less noticeable. Oddly enough, a

study that observed the reaction of deer to vehicles with and without deer whistles actually found that more deer paid attention to vehicles without the whistles than those equipped with them. The conclusion appears to be that drivers would be better to save their money, slow down and drive carefully where deer are known to be a hazard.

Q: How does a Tax-Free Savings Account work? A:
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a registered account that allows individuals who have reached the age of majority to earn investment income and capital gains tax-free. Since 2009, TFSAs have been a good way to save and invest your money. TFSAs can hold a wide variety of investment products such as GICs, bonds, mutual funds and publically-traded stocks. A TFSA can be opened at your local investment firm or bank. In 2013, the annual contribution limit increased from $5,000 to $5,500. The amount of your contribution room can be accessed through the “My Account” function on the CRA website or found on your Notice of Assessment. If you missed contributing the limit for any given year, you can carry forward your contribution room. If you have never contributed to a TFSA, the maximum amount you can contribute in 2013 is $25,500. Unlike an RRSP, contributions are not tax-deductible, but you are not taxed on the growth within your TFSA. Withdrawals, up to the entire amount of your TFSA, can be made at any time without incurring taxes. A TFSA is a versatile and user-friendly way to save and invest because there is a lot of flexibility to make contributions and withdrawals. Start early with your TFSA and remember that being disciplined has its advantages.

Pet perils can lurk in your garden Last column ended with a brief introduction to our new puppy, Sadie. Right away we started on her training. Even at seven weeks, a puppy is not too young to learn right from wrong provided it is done properly. Of course, at the top of the list is getting the house-training underway. At this young age, there are bound to be accidents. But in a short time, they are occurring infrequently as she has progressed to standing in front of the door to go outside, punctuated by the occasional bark. Sometimes. While progress is positive in the peeing department, the teething process is taking a lot longer. We carry the marks as evidence. Sadie has learned the word “no” very effectively and will usually stop biting us, chewing the wood for the woodstove, the chair legs, the antique table legs, the bricks on the hearth and our plants. But that only lasts for as long as you can say “good girl” before she gets that imp look in her eyes and starts terrorizing again. Perseverance and due diligence on our part remains heightened. Not only to keep tiny teeth marks from marring the furniture but to keep our puppy out of harms way from toxic plants. U n d e r s t a n d a b l y, there are many people who refuse to include any toxic plants in their gardens. They are justified. It is all part of keeping kids and pets safe. However, I wonder
AZALEAS ARE BEAUTIFUL, but can be fatal if ingested by a dog or cat. PHOTO BY JOHN COX
DUCHESS OF DIRT
LESLIE COX if they have an apple tree in their yard? The stems, leaves and seeds contain cyanide. Kids might not eat them but your dog might. Have daffodils? The bulbs are very toxic. Eating enough of them can result in convulsions and cardiac arrhythmias. Even the leaves, bark, berries and roots of our native elderberry are toxic and they are quite prevalent along our rural roads here in Black Creek. Digitalis purpurea (foxglove), delphiniums, rhododendrons and azaleas if ingested in sufficient quantities can all cause death to both dogs and cats. So can sweet peas. We have a golden hops on our pergola for the wonderful shade it provides. Would you be surprised the flowers that add such a delightful flavour to your beer
can also cause seizures and death to your pet? Those beautiful autumn crocuses blooming in late summer can cause multiple organ damage to Sadie if she should happen to eat them for a snack. (She should be cured of eating plants by the time these are blooming again. We hope.) Leaves, stems and seeds of cherry, apricot and peach trees can all send your pet into shock from the cyanide they contain. Death could be imminent. And do not be fooled. Your vegetable garden also holds hidden dangers for your pets. Rhubarb can cause kidney failure. Tomatoes can produce a whole range of symptoms including slow heart rate. So can other members of the nightshade family ... eggplant, potatoes and peppers. There are still more plants in the garden which will not necessarily kill your pet or child but are equally dangerous for causing vomiting and diarrhea. Plants like chamo-

mile, English ivy, hellebores, gladiolas, calla lilies, primulas, baby’s breath, tulips and peonies. Keeping your pet indoors does not keep them safe ... if you have houseplants. Dieffenbachia, cut-leaf philodendron, Rex begonia, jade plant and ama-
ryllis have toxic parts. And there are others. My point ... the list of plants with at least some toxic parts is long. Very long. So do you not think it best to educate your kids between good and bad? Same with your dog. They can definitely be trained to leave your plants alone. Cats are a different story, however, so you would be advised not to grow any lilies in your garden. For a list of other toxic plants, check out www.aspca.org/ pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-andnon-toxic-plants and www.ansci.cornell.edu/ plants/index.html.

Xterra effort takes Ward to Maui
CLAY WARD IS preparing for the Xterra world championships this Sunday in Maui.
Local chiropractor and triathlete Dr. Clay Ward is set to represent the Comox Valley at the Xterra world championships in Maui on Oct. 27. “Setting aside enough time to train is tough right now,” says Ward, who is in the process of getting his new clinic, Dynamic Spine, Sport & Wellness, up and running for Nov. 1. “It’s all about balance,” he says. “I’m currently spending most of my time at the clinic to ensure that everything is on schedule for Nov. 1, which means that I have to plan efficient and effective workouts.” Ward will face tough competition in Maui – both professional and amateur athletes will be competing in the three-stage race. Athletes will have to be in peak condition to master the difficult course, which has been described as a tropical roller coaster. The race begins with a 1.5 km rough water swim near D.T. Flemmings Beach in Kapalua, is followed by a
30 km mountain bike ride up and down the slopes of the West Maui Mountains, and concludes with a 10 km run along steep dirt trails through oleander fields and around mountain lakes. Ward has his sights set
on the world championship title for his category, but recognizes that it is a major accomplishment just to have qualified for the prestigious event. “It is a fantastic opportunity just to be able to compete at this level,” Ward says. “Regardless of the outcome of the race, my main focus when I return to the Comox Valley will be on ensuring the success of Dynamic, and treating the thriving active community of the Comox Valley.” Dynamic Spine, Sport, & Wellness is a health clinic
that patients have access to holistic care, helping them achieve their health and performance goals. Dynamic opens for business on Nov. 1 and booking will be available one week in advance. The clinic is located at 1532 Cliffe Ave. (250-871-6200). For more information visit www. dynamicspinesportwellness.com.

Buccaneers. ICE CHIPS Pearson was the game’s second star and Liam Peel of Oceanside was third star … the Generals have hired Lou Gravel of Comox as general manager … he will be in charge of hockey operations, including finding a head coach for the 2-13-1 North Division cellar dwellers … the Glacier Kings are tied for 22nd in the Oct. 20 poll of the top B.C.

The team that had given up the most goals in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League didn’t allow any Sunday afternoon in Parksville. The Comox Valley Glacier Kings blanked the Oceanside Generals 3-0 behind the 17-save effort of Blake Pearson. The win evened the Yetis’ record at .500 and kept them just one point back of the Campbell
River Storm in the battle for second place in the North Division. First-star Sheldon Brett continued his hot scoring touch with two goals and one assist while Jonas Harvath netted the other marker. Brett is now tied for second in league scoring with 11 goals and 11 assists through 16 games. The game was scoreless through two periods, with Comox Valley out-shooting Oceanside 19-15. But the

Points were hard to come by for Comox Valley Raiders Youth Football teams as they were all on the road for Week 8 (Oct. 19-20) action. On Saturday the Midgets were defeated 35-0 by the host Meadow Ridge Knights. On Sunday the Bantams were trounced by the first-place Langley Mustangs 55-0 and the Junior Bantams fell 34-14 to Oceanside (Parksville). The PeeWees came away with the only victory of the weekend, knocking off Oceanside in a hard-fought game. For Week 9 (Oct. 25-27) all four Raiders teams are home at the friendly confines of Bill Moore Memorial Park. Friday night under the lights the Junior Bantams host Cowichan Bulldogs with a 6:30 kick-off. Three games Sunday begin at 11 a.m. with the PeeWees taking on Ladysmith followed by the Chilliwack Giants in town to face the Bantams at 1 p.m. and the Midgets hosting the Coquitlam Rams at 3 p.m. – Comox Valley Raiders Youth Football
Gillian Ellsay of Courtenay is one of seven athletes who will take part in the Cycling Talent Development Program (Cycling TDP) for the initial trial period. After an exciting assessment camp showcasing some outstanding B.C. cyclists, the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific announced the athlete list that included the 16-year-old Ellsay on Oct. 22. The initial trial period runs Sept. 15 to Dec. 22. The final team of athletes will be named in January. Selection for the 2013/14 Cycling TDP is based on a three-step process. The initial selection was founded on relevant competition results in track, mountain biking or road cycling along with a recommendation from a coach. Following this, athletes were invited to a three-day assessment camp, which included cycling-specific fitness testing, skill testing and an interview with the TDP coach. Now that the athletes have been selected, they are undergoing a threemonth trial period. The full time Cycling TDP begins Jan. 6, 2014. “This is a very strong group of athletes to start the second phase of the Talent Develop-
sport science support required to advance their athletic careers. The Cycling TDP is committed to supporting the identification and development of Canadian athletes who have the qualities required to be Olympic/ Paralympic champions. – Cycling Team Development Program

Chum salmon fishing great V
alley anglers have two choices for serious chum salmon fishing. The first is in our home waters of the Puntledge River. In this case you are targeting fish as they enter the river and you try to get fish just in from the sea. The best location for fresh fish is the waters below the Condensory Street Bridge. You can also take fresh fish all the way up to the fishing boundary below the hatchery. Your second choice is to fish the waters of Johnstone Strait above Campbell River all the way up to Chatham Point near Rock Bay. These fish are migrating chums heading for spawning streams that feed into the Strait of Georgia including the Fraser River. There are active seine, gillnet and troll fisheries as well as a large recreational fishery on these fish, that enter the Johnstone Strait from Campbell River and Browns Bay. It is also possible to target chum salmon in local waters such as off Cape Lazo, but most of the time in these waters the fish just don’t seem to want to bite very often. Over the past few weeks I have fished chum and coho out of Browns Bay in the company of friends. We had real challenges in catching very many chum salmon. In fact on one trip we had three hatchery marked coho and two chum salmon. On another occasion we ended up with a large hatchery coho and an equally nice chum. In other words fishing chum salmon in Johnstone Strait in competition with a variety of commercial fisheries is a fickle enterprise. On Oct. 16 I had the pleasure of fishing with Charley Vaughan and his son Michael. We launched at Browns Bay marina and proceeded north up Johnstone Strait to Chatham Point Light near Rock Bay. During the first couple of hours we dodged

RALPH SHAW a small commercial fleet of trollers and Michael brought three prime chum salmon in the 10- to 12- pound range to the net and the day was off to an excellent start. As the day progressed we moved down the Strait to Green Sea and from there to Deepwater Bay and in the process we netted a total of seven prime chum salmon. As a side note, these fish were destined to occupy my smoker in the next couple of days. Pictured with this column are Charley and Michael Vaughan holding two prime chum salmon they brought to the net. When netted these fish are so bright you had to take a second look to make certain they were not coho. In the ensuing days the numbers of chum have increased and the word I had on the Browns Bay Chum Salmon Derby
held this weekend was that there were several limit catches and the best fish was 19 pounds. ••• When governments retreat from their responsibilities in managing a national resource – as the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is currently doing in their retreat from managing our coastal fishery resources – maybe it is time for a closer-to-home regulatory agency such as the Provincial government to take over the management of all the fisheries resources of our province. We are already managing much of the local fishery, as in the case of the Puntledge River. On page 19 of the 2013–2015 Freshwater Regulations there is a section that deals specifically with the Puntledge River. On page nine it states it is illegal to use a barbless hook or a hook with more than one point in any river, stream, creek, or slough in B.C. In the continuing retreat of the DFO in managing
our river, why don’t the Provincial Ministry of Environment officers step up to the plate? In a recent B. C. Statistics report, the BC’s Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector–2012 Edition, recognizes sport fishing as the largest creator of economic activity in all fisheries in B.C. and accounted for revenues of $936.5 million ( freshwater and tidal) in 2011. Well Premier Christie Clark, you spend much time talking about great stuff in LNG and other minerals – how about some support for the business of solid recreational fisheries that is being abandoned by the federal government? No pipelines to build – just manage what we already have. (Statistics source – Pacific Salmon Foundation Keystone Species Magazine). 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.

FUNERAL HOMES
TURTLE, Margaret “Maggie� Isabella 05 Feb 1927 – 13 Oct 2013 Dear Maggie left us on Thanksgiving Weekend. She is survived by her sister Ann of Gandia, Spain; daughter Julia Guest (Les Cassettari), sons Martin, Andrew, & Peter Guest; twins Carrie & Nina Turtle; 8 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren and she loved them all. Born Margaret Baldwin in Maidenhead England, she served with the WAAFs during WW2. In 1957 when married with 3 children, emigration to Canada was at the desire of her father; the family came to Nanaimo where he was greens keeper of the golf course. Following divorce, she met and married Bill Turtle on Vancouver Island where she had the twins and life took her to Zeballos, then to Black Creek in the Comox Valley. As her health declined she moved to West Vancouver in 2006 to be in the loving care of family. Maggie’s love of gardening carried forward to her children and she always made a beautiful garden wherever she lived – this is where she listened to her soul. She loved the outdoors and it was her great sadness not to be able to take a walk on her feet into the woods. A talented artist, her paintings adorn many homes of family and friends. She was a character and will be missed by the caring staff of West Vancouver Care Centre, to whom the family owe great thanks, and to Brigitte Zerkowitz for her care and friendship. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday Nov 2nd , 2pm at Gleneagles Clubhouse, 6190 Marine Drive, West Vancouver.
For those who love, time is not.... Missing you today and always.
With sad news we announce the passing of Ronald Walter (Jeff) Jefferd, 83 years, on October 19 in Comox, St. Joseph’s Hospital. He is survived by wife Wanda, son Reg, Daughter Carol (Bill) Doherty, 3 grandsons; Bill Doherty, Jefferd Doherty and David Jefferd. Predeceased by his parents Walter and Edith Jefferd and his sister Kathleen Gildner and his brother Ernest Jefferd. Born in Duncan, BC, educated in Port Moody, Jeff served in the RCAF for 30 years and the BC Emergency Program in North Vancouver for 10 years before retiring to the Comox Valley. Memorial Service will be held at Piercy’s Mt. Washington Funeral Home, 440 England Avenue, Courtenay, on Friday, October 25, 2013 at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers donations should go the BC Cancer Society or St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation.

Catherine Watson Heal January 4, 1931 – October 19, 2013
Catherine passed away peacefully at her home in Glacier View Lodge, Courtenay. Left to celebrate her life are her two children and their families; Stuart, Matt, Steven, Parker and Janis, Joe, Nick, and Lauren (Correia). She is predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Stan (2006). Catherine was born in Cumberland to Alison and Alexander (Sandy) Mann. She was a May Queen Attendant, her class Valedictorian and winner of the academic “Lamp� Award at Cumberland High School. It was while attending the University of Victoria when she met her husband, Stan. She became a primary teacher, and they raised their children in the house they built together in Royston. Catherine stayed active curling, skiing on Forbidden Plateau and gardening. She and Stan enjoyed many vacations together including driving across Canada, camping and skiing trips, and in later years annual getaways to Hawaii. Her favourite times were spent watching her grandchildren grow up, monthly lunches with her school friends, and enjoying a cup of tea and shortbread, with a good book in her hands and a dog at her feet. A special thank-you to Aileen Marquis for years of devoted friendship. Thank-you to Christine, Dolina, Candy and Alison. The residents of Glacier View Lodge (and their families) are very fortunate to have you. You are all earth angels. Mom always had a positive energy. She taught us about love and loyalty, kindness and compassion. She was a real class act and she will be forever missed. By request, a celebration of life service will be held on a bonny day next spring. In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Parkinson Society Canada would be appreciated.
Audrey Anderton nee: Mellado August 3, 1917 to October 12, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our “Mom� and “Grammie� – Audrey Anderton Audrey was born at home in Victoria on August 3, 1917 and passed peacefully on October 12, 2013 in Courtenay. As Audrey’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 ‘’bridge and poker� friends for over 35 years. Their third child Audrey was born upon Wilf’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 childrens’ 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. Audrey’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 Wilf’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 life’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 Audrey’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.

December 10, 1957 - October 4, 2013
On October 4, 2013, this world said goodbye to Tina Murray. She was a loving, caring, strong, brilliant and creative woman. Tina was predeceased by her mother Mary Thomas and her brother-in-law Mike Murray. She is survived and will be dearly missed by her father Bill Thomas, daughter Emily, her husband Pat, sister Terry Thomas, brother David Thomas (Malin Persson) and their children Katrina and Jens, her aunt Elsie Arnold, mother-in-law Joan Murray, sister-inlaw Heather Murray and her nephews Russell and Bruce Murray. She will also be missed by her best friend Cathy, as well as numerous other family, friends, students and colleagues especially her teaching partners Jan and Kim.
Being one of a kind, Tina touched the lives of many throughout her long and memorable career as an educator in the Comox Valley, North Island and Richmond School Districts. Sculpting the minds of today’s youth was her true passion. Tina’s bold and vibrant personality made having a dull moment around her impossible. She always had time to listen and laugh at your story and give advice when she felt you needed it. She loved life, her family and her friends. Once you were a friend, you were family. Words cannot express the gratitude that we wish to convey to the many nurses and doctors at St. Paul’s, St. Joseph’s ICU and Vancouver General Hospitals, who took such wonderful care of Tina. We would especially like to thank the outstanding VGH ICU team for their tireless and compassionate efforts to make Tina’s last days as comfortable as possible. We would also like to thank the Liver Transplant Team (especially Alexia and Polly) for their best efforts on Tina’s behalf.

Crown Isle Ladies wrap up season with awards
What a wonderful way to complete a great season of Crown Isle Ladies Golf – AGM chaired by the most eloquent Katy Macaulay, buffet dinner served by Crown Isle, awards to all the worthy recipients for 2013 and then party time in the Timber Room. The winners were: Club Champion - Abigail Rigsby. Senior Club Champion - Val Dingwall. Net Club Champion - Janet Phillips. Senior Net Champion - Sandy Linhart. Ace of Aces - Donna Cunliffe. Captain’s Sin-
gles Match Play - Dee Horie. Vice-Captain’s Singles Match Play Barb Parker. Captain’s Doubles Match Play - Donna Cunliffe and Karen Hopwood. ViceCaptain’s Doubles Match Play - Judy Pouliot and Pat Johnson. Lowest Net Pin Round - Raelene Robertson. RCGA Low Aggregate Pin Rounds - Raelene Robertson and Donna Cunliffe. Most Improved - Ev Shaw. Tuesday birdies Raelene Robertson. Par 5s - Linda Stickney. Hole In One -
Par par for the course Karen Hopwood on #7 at Crown Isle and Ev Shaw #16 at Arrowsmith. After a well-attended meeting, Jason Andrew entertained us with his views on “The Future of Golf.” He has some very passionate ideas about this topic. Our Crown Isle executive sadly said goodbye to Valerie Dingwall as interclub coordinator and Jan McFarlane and Jane Cunningham as social convenors. Happily, Katy
announced that Pat Johnson and Anne Sands will be on the 2014 executive as the new social convenors and Sandy Linhart will take the reins as interclub coordinator. Kudos to Rod Prieto and his pro shop staff and marshals who were there to help every Tuesday (even the drowned rat Tuesdays!), Evan Webber for his MCing on the Ladies’ Nine and Wine, the maintenance crew for the wonderful
shape the golf course was in all year and Gregor and his food and beverage team who served us so well at all our luncheons. The Crown Isle couples had their last event of the season, Glow Ball, on a full moon but foggy Friday night. What a blast! If you haven’t played Glow Ball don’t miss it next year. Thank you to Bob and Pat Chalmers, Allan McMurray and Judy Kaffka, Allan and Sandra Barwick, and Bryan and Elaine Johnstone for all their
