Fallout feared if rural referendum successful Scott Stanfield Record Staff

More than 500 people turned out Wednesday in the second advance vote before Saturday’s referendum about garbage and recycling pickup in the rural areas of the regional district. A total of 136 ballots were cast in the first vote. A third advance voting opportunity is being held Wednesday. If the referendum is favourable, residents in areas A, B and C — excluding Denman and Hornby islands, Royston and Mount Washington — will receive weekly roadside collection service starting September. Some residents are angry about not being able to opt out of the service, which will cost about $150 per year per household. Elements Recycling Services of Comox protested during Wednesday’s vote, urging voters to support local family business, until police shooed them away. Jerry Kupiak, owner of Sun Coast Waste, says his company was low bidder for the collection contract by almost $275,000. “I just don’t get it,” said Kupiak, who questions the choice for weekly collection, which he says is not necessary. The CVRD board awarded a three-year contract to BFI Canada. Aside from price, staff said the choice also considered technical components, experience, reputation and environmental factors. After the three-year term, there is an option for a two-year contract extension. However, if terms cannot be reached, the contract will go back to tender. Kupiak and his wife started Sun Coast in the Valley 17 years ago. It has since turned into a family business, with Kupiak’s son and daughter joining the team. If the referendum passes,

Kupiak will likely need to lay off three drivers because he said he would lose about 60 per cent of revenue in the Comox Valley and Campbell River areas. “You take on debt and buy trucks and do things,” he said. “Once this is gone, I still have to pay those bills…We’ll do our best to survive.” The recycling portion of the pickup service is expected to help the district achieve 70 per cent diversion from landfills. CVRD board chair Edwin Grieve — who realizes it “doesn’t work for everybody” — says the service will reduce costs for most residents. “By doing this offer, I think we get the bang for our buck for the most people,” Grieve said. “Even people with once-a-month pickup are still saving money.” He said another benefit is a rebate program offered by MultiMaterial British Columbia (MMBC), which manages the collection and processing of packaging and printed paper (PPP) materials. To apply for and receive rebates, Grieve said local governments need to ‘own’ the service. The proposed roadside collection program is not eligible for incentives in the initial rollout, but the CVRD could apply after the new stewardship plan is implemented. (Steward refers to organizations obligated by regulation to recover packaging and printed paper from residential households.) Kupiak, who sits on the Coast Waste Management Association board, claims MMBC does not support weekly recycling collection because volumes don’t support it. MMBC, however, says it does not make decisions around the type of containers and frequency of collection. “We leave those to local governments; we don’t dictate what they

do with those service levels,” said Allen Langdon, managing director at MMBC. Wednesday’s advance vote (Nov. 13) is from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the CVRD boardroom at 550B Comox Rd. in Courtenay. Saturday’s referendum is same time,

same place. Votes can also be cast Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at these locations: • Living Waters Church – 222 Regent Rd., Black Creek; • North Island Distance School – 2505 Smith Rd., Courtenay;

Is Comox OCP amendment ahead for proposal? Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Hoping to appeal to boaters, yachters and visitors to Comox, proponents behind the Comox Bay Marina Resort development on the former site of the Edgewater Pub are working with staff to finalize their proposal for a mixed use development building. At Wednesday’s council meeting, owner Gail Davies and architect Richard Iredale reviewed outstanding items, which planning staff identified as revisions to the mixed use development. More than three years ago, a conditional approval was given for the 62-unit hotel/ restaurant/commercial development at 1805 Beaufort Ave. and surface parking area at 1923 Beaufort Ave. Earlier this year, Davies advised council the hotel development concept was uneconomical and a new building design would come forward with a proposal for residential uses of the property in conjunction with a smaller hotel and commercial component. At information sessions this spring, the project was met with strong opinions as residents voiced their concerns about site views, traffic, noise and a waterfront walkway for the proposed resort, and Iredale adjusted plans based on feedback from staff and the

public. The proposal is looking for rezoning, development permit, development variance permit and floodplain exemption permit to allow a four-storey building containing a 28-room hotel, restaurant, spa and commercial spaces and 42-residential one- and two-bedroom units on the upper floors. Davies noted Wednesday they are looking at placing the

hotel on the main floor, on the south-facing side of the building. “When the OCP was made in 2012, it specifies commercial use can only be on the main floor; there cannot be any residential on the main floor. Prior to submitting our application, we discussed and had meetings with the planning department, and we could include residential use on the main floor, but we would have to amend the OCP,” she explained.

“Since the OCP is new, we’re reluctant to ask for an amendment.” The proposal contains 40,000 square feet of residential space on the upper floors. Staff also noted any revisions to the proposal should include the location of hotel units within the southern, waterfront portion of the building’s top two stories prior to any resubmission of a development application. Coun. Patti Fletcher

raised concerns about the overall direction of the proposal. “The community was really clear — there was a desire to see a hotel on that property. The addition of residential is a rezoning

Might farmland be threatened?

Weather protocol imminent

Record Staff

Scott Stanfield

Erin Haluschak

A leaked proposal by the provincial government to dismantle the Agricultural Land Commission could open up a significant amount of protected farmland for economic development with potential impacts in the Comox Valley. Confidential government documents obtained by the Globe and Mail Thursday, show B.C. Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm is seeking to ask cabinet to modernize the ALC to ensure government’s priorities for economic development are reflected in ALC decisions. The proposal seeks to create two Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) areas with different regulations, change the ALC’s legislative mandate along with have community growth applications decided by local government. “It is extremely worrisome for local farmers,” said local agrologist Arzeena Hamir who owns Amara Farm in Courtenay. “In the Comox Valley, coal exploration is at arm’s length with local farming. It can have a significant impact on the water quality … it puts the quality of farmland in the Comox Valley at a huge risk.” The ALC, which was established in 1973, is responsible for preserving and protecting the province’s farmland. It conducts land use planning in partnership with local communities, evaluates applications for the use of land in the ALR, and encourages farming as a basis for a sustainable economy and a secure source of food. The ALR comprises five

per cent of B.C’s land mass, or 4.7 million hectares. If the proposed changes are approved, it could see the ALC staff move into the Ministry of Agriculture. In a second document, one change could lead to two classes of ALR — a status quo Okanagan and Fraser Valley-Vancouver Island and Interior, and a Kootenays and north of the Okanagan class, where rules will be “anything goes.” The document also suggests making oil and gas decisions the priority land use decision and the Oil and Gas Commission the primary authority. “It’s a short-sighted way of planning for our future,” added Hamir. “Municipalities are in the business of development and the benefits of agriculture aren’t often realized.” Gerry McClintock of McClintock’s Farm and president of the Comox Valley Farmers’ Institute noted agriculture changes continuously, and what land might be uneconomic now, may be economic in the future. “The Institute supports the ALC and where it stands today and the idea of preserving farmland for future use,” he explained. “Once land is developed, there is no way to reverse it; nobody will be tearing down established housing to go back to farming.” Hamir acknowledged while the proposal is “not a done deal,” she encourages the community to contact local MLA Don McRae to express their concerns. “It leaves Comox Valley farmers extremely vulnerable; it will only happen if we don’t say anything.”

GRADE 7 STUDENTS from Aspen Park Elementary School participate in the Try a Trade program.

Students trying trades Renee Andor Record Staff

The new Try a Trade program has been so successful co-ordinator Randy Grey hopes to expose all Comox Valley Grade 7 students to it this year. Grey, career programs co-ordinator for the Comox Valley, organized the first Try a Trade last spring and decided to expand the program this year because of its success. “I would like to get every elementary (school) through this year,” says Grey. “That’s my goal.” Forty-two Aspen Park Grade 7 students tried out various trades last week during the third Try a Trade this year. Students spent part of a day at Sandwick Technical School learning the basics of trades like carpentry, electrical, plumbing, drywalling, painting, mechanics and pouring concrete, via a hands-on approach. “They actually have to do something and they have to have fun doing it,” says Grey, adding the overall goal behind the program is to encourage students to consider a career in trades. “They’re excited about learning, so when they come to this event, they are so excited. They will go home and they will talk to their parents and tell them about what they did, and hopefully that’s going to open up that conversation on career counselling between parents and kids.” Grey adds Grade 7 students used

to have the option of trades classes in middle school, but since the grade reconfiguration in the Valley, students haven’t had that opportunity until they reach the secondary level. Grey visits Grade 7 students in their classrooms a couple of days before Try a Trade and talks about trades, using resources from www.discovertradesbc. ca. On the day-of, students receive a lesson on shop safety before they begin, and all activities are designed to their age level. For example, in plumbing students learn how to safely cut pipe, use PEX connectors, solder copper joints and layout drain pipe in a wall. Another benefit of Try a Trade, says Grey, is that Grade 11 and 12 trades students play the role of student leaders to the younger students. “They get so many rewards from this; they are volunteering back into our community … and they are teaching younger kids,” says Grey. “And, I cannot believe how well these kids have risen to it.” Aspen Park teacher Sherry Dittrick says her students were still talking about the things they learnt during Try a Trade when they got back to their school.

With inclement winter weather on the horizon, the demand for emergency shelter space increases. The Pidcock Shelter at 632 Pidcock Ave. in Courtenay contains 15 extreme weather spaces, in addition to beds. When the Extreme Weather Response team issues an extreme weather alert, floor mats will be placed in a multi-purpose room to accommodate homeless individuals. “It’s very, very tight but it’s much drier and much safer, and we’re looking after our people in a whole lot better way than if they’re sleeping outside,” says Salvation Army community ministries director Brent Hobden. “It’s certainly not ideal but it does work.” Hobden said Pidcock turned away 99 people last month. Just one week into November, the shelter has already refused admission to more than 20 people. In another initiative, the Dawn to Dawn: Action on Homelessness Society is seeking donations of trailers and sleeping bags to help homeless individuals as temperatures drop. Gently used or new sleeping bags can be dropped off at AIDS Vancouver Island at 355 Sixth St. from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday. Trailers will be used to house people at Maple Pool Campground in Courtenay. The priority population is vulnerable seniors. For questions about trailers, call Grant Shilling at 250-218-3136.

Comox Valley students will no longer be able to complete Emily Carr University’s fouryear Bachelor of Fine Arts degree without leaving North Island College (NIC). NIC announced last week it will discontinue the Bachelor or Fine Arts external program with Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECU). The Bachelor of Fine Arts program will not accept new admissions this coming September, but there will be a transition period for current students.

Discontinuation of the program means NIC can use these funds to focus on its own programming. “The dollars could

see what we can offer now that is of interest to students.” Meanwhile, NIC and ECU will work with students already enrolled in the program to ensure they complete their degrees. Auchterlonie notes representatives from both institutions will meet with current students this week, and each student will meet with an academic adviser. “Both institutions are very committed and are going to work

together to develop a transition plan for every currently enrolled student to achieve completion of their program,” she says. “The students in third and fourth year will likely be able to complete here … We’re also working with those in first and second year to ensure that they can complete their intended programs.” For students in first and second year, that could mean doing a university transfer, she added, noting NIC students transfer to various institutions across the country like Alberta College of Art and Design and Ontario College of Art and Design as well as ECU, to obtain fine arts degrees. As well, she points out the college offers a variety of other fine arts and design programming, like the fine arts diploma, professional photography and interactive media programs.

Phase Three of the Rotary Trail adjacent to the railway tracks has been completed thanks to support from Telus and the Courtenay Rotary Club. The first phase of the pathway from Fifth Street to the Courtenay Train Station was completed in 2011. A second section from Cumberland Road to 17th Street was added last year. Phase Three extends from 17th to 21st streets. The hard-surface gravel Rail With Trail is conducive to walking or cycling, and can be used to commute downtown. The City of Courtenay thanked the two sponsors Thursday at the train station. Telus contributed $20,000 through its TV for Good campaign, which has generated more than $7.2 million for 58 community projects since 2009. “As a parent and grandparent, I recognize how important it is to have safe, accessible out-

door spaces to spend time with your family, especially on beautiful Vancouver Island,” said Ray Lawson, Telus general manager for Vancouver Island. The Courtenay Rotary Club has raised $100,000 for each of the three phases. It continues to be a partner and project supporter. Rotary hopes this marks the first stage of a grand loop to 26th Street, through the forested area by Winners, and extending underneath the roadway and into the Air Park walkway, says club president Dave White. “This way it will hopefully curve around to the water at the end and then go along the river,” White said. The long-term goal is a trail extending the length of the rail corridor on Vancouver Island.

Called “an evening of inspiration, creativity and a mix of ideas,” the inaugural Pecha Kucha Night Comox Valley covered the arts, education, biofuels, heath and more, all within one hour. The Vancouver Island Visitor Centre hosted Volume One of the 20x20 presentation, which was originally created by an architecture firm in Tokyo 10 years ago. The format revolves around a simple presentation where participants show 20 images, each for 20 seconds on a variety of topics. “It’s an informal, fun gathering where creative people get together and share ideas; anyone can present and speakers can present about anything,” MC Kelly Barnie said last Wednesday evening. “We’re here to share passions and show projects and to uncover the unexpected.” Pecha Kucha nights are happening around the world, with the Comox Valley evening adding to the list of 700 cities where events are being held. Kinesiologist Kaitlin Armstrong started the evening, speaking about “eating foods the way nature intended,” and practising mindfulness. Artist/sculpturist and former military social worker Kelly Gough displayed images of her pieces, and spoke about looking at different ways of selfacceptance. “Art has become my voice to express the things when I can’t use

my voice,” she added. Tom Diamond used his 20 images to talk about health meditation and its role in self-healing, while University of Victoria research engineer Aaron Philippsen displayed his idea to create a seaweed-based fuel to replace gasoline. “(Seaweed) produces yields similar to corn

and has a high sugar content. You can ferment it and get a significant amount of ethanol,” Philippsen explained. “Biofuel is made from plant biomass … which requires farmland. Seaweed doesn’t need farmland or irrigation, and in some cases, no fertilizer.” Sweatshop Union’s

Mo Moshiri spoke about education and learning and Marla Limousin of Natures Way Farm/Blue Moon Winery displayed images from her time in the Arctic as a landscape architect. For more information, visit Pecha Kucha Comox Valley on Facebook.

CITY OF COURTENAY planners are seeking input to help develop a local area plan for the Arden corridor west of the city.

Arden input wanted The City of Courtenay is looking for feedback for the Arden Corridor Local Area Plan (LAP) process, which is in its final stages. A public hearing is slated for Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. in Courtenay council chambers. Council passed second reading of the Arden LAP bylaw last Monday. If approved, the plan would be incorporated into the City’s Official Community Plan, possibly by the end of December. The plan is designed to provide guidance on land use in the area over time and to help shape future growth on the western boundary of the city. The boundaries include both sides of Arden Road from the Comox Valley Parkway to approximately Bood Road. The process began about 18 months ago in response to development interest in the area.

The Comox Valley Defend Our Climate, Defend Our Community event will happen from 1 to 2 p.m. and will feature guest speakers, including writer and activist Betty Krawzyck. Comox Valley event spokesperson Megan Rose (Babb) adds attendees will make postcards to send to North Island MP John Duncan. “Everyone is welcome,” says Rose, noting organizers hope hundreds of people will show up to the Comox Valley event, and there will be similar events held across the country on the same day. “It’s a Canada-wide day of action for our climate and our communities,” she said. According to the Comox Valley event Facebook page, the day of action is designed to show governments that opposition to tar sand and pipeline expansion is growing, noting upcoming government decisions about energy projects “could push the world toward run-

COURTENAY, B.C.

No debating the fact that this comic is funny Paul Rudan Black Press

Steve Patterson is the proud owner of two Beavers. The Beaver, by the way, is also the name of Canada’s comedy awards. Patterson picked up his first Beaver in 2011 as the country’s top stand-up male comic, and last month, in Ottawa, he won it for a second time. Patterson has been doing stand-up since the early 1990s, but he’s probably best known in Canada as the host of CBC Radio’s The Debaters. You can see and hear Patterson for yourself when he brings his solo comedy tour This Is Not Debatable! to the Sid Williams Theatre on Nov. 14. In an interview, Patterson spoke by phone from Toronto. Q: The tour is called This Is Not Debatable! Is that like The Debaters Lite? Steve Patterson: No, it’s like The Debaters Heavy. I get to have my say and offer my point of view on everything! I don’t have to be a referee, so it’s a little more freeing. Q: Your first joke, was it a “knock-knock,” or was it “why did the chicken cross the road?” SP: I don’t know. I never really told jokes and comedians never tell street jokes. No, I never told a knockknock, but I did make up my own jokes. My parents probably thought I was weird. And comedy is tougher than singing. A singer can sing anyone else’s songs, but no one wants to hear a comedian doing another comedian’s jokes. Q: Growing up, who made you laugh? SP: My older brothers. I was the youngest of five and they did goofy things. I watched the Eddie Murphy videos Delirious and Raw. And I’ve always enjoyed Billy Connolly and Derek Edwards. They write really good stuff. I sometimes quote Derek around

the dinner table AND I do give him credit. I guess I should give him royalties too, but don’t tell him that. Q: Favourite CBC news anchor to make fun of: Peter Mansbridge or Knowlton Nash? SP: Knowlton Nash is such a great name for a news anchor and Peter Mansbridge is a pretty good porn name. Q: Congratulations on winning your second Beaver as Canada’s best stand-up male comic. Does the trophy come with a beer bottle opener? SP: No! And they’re always different. For some reason they keep redesigning them every year? It’s always some form of the maple leaf. But a beer bottle opener would be an excellent addition. Q: So, why doesn’t the Comedy Network show the Canadian Comedy Awards? SP: Excellent question! They seem to have no answer. I guess they have an agreement with Comedy Central, so they just show the American comics, rather than develop and support comedy in

COMEDIAN STEVE PATTERSON brings his one-man, 90-minute laugh riot to the Sid Williams Theatre on Nov. 14. Canada. To be blunt, it’s STUPID! Q: Worst moment on stage? SP: I was at the Frog and Bucket Comedy Club – really – in Man-

chester, England. I’m not sure what I said to set off this guy who started yelling at me in a thick ManchuriIt’ssupthe an accent that’s posed to be English.

Buy A Bra, Get One FREE at our…

Fall Mastectomy & Bra Fitting Day!

So I started mocking him and he just took off and started running at the stage with his head down. He was like this five-foot-six bulldog and he’s coming straight at me! But I guess they expect that, so these two huge bouncers grab him under the arms, pick him up, and his legs just keep flailing as they carried him! It was like watching a cartoon character, so I just started laughing harder and everyone else is laughing too! It’s the first time I was rolling on the floor laughing. Anyway, at the end of the night the bouncers escorted me out because he was still outside waiting to fight me (laughs). My worst moment was also one of my best. Q: When people recognize you, do they immediately start debating? SP: When I’m flying on Air Canada and I try to order something,

experience of a lifetime!

they hear me speak and then they recognize the voice. They ask if I’m “that guy” and I say “yes.” Then they’ll either tell me jokes or pitch me on debate ideas for the entire flight. So I try not to speak and just point at the things I want. Q: Who’s funnier, Stephen Harper or Rob Ford? SP: Hands down it’s Ford. Stephen Harper might be funny if he said anything. Rob Ford looks like a 1980s super-villain. And when you have that kind of appearance you think you might want to combat that with an endearing personality. Patterson presents a 90-minute, one-man show Nov. 14 at the Sid Williams Theatre in Courtenay at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from the Sid Williams box office by phoning 250-338-2430, ext. 1, or visiting www.sidwilliamstheate.com.

Art exhibit about stress disorder In the Comox Valley Art Gallery’s George Sawchuk Gallery, an exhibit called Residual opened Saturday to coincide with Remembrance Day. A public reception will take place Nov. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. All are welcome to attend. The George Sawchuk Gallery is an exhibition space at the Comox Valley Art Gallery vestibule dedicated to student works of all ages from the West Coast. Residual consists of the drawings and paintings of local artist Jeanne MacGrotty, who explores Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Canadian soldiers. Her artwork examines the effects of being engaged in military activity. MacGrotty says, “I think it is important to consider the effects of war on veterans and soldiers at a time where we are gathering to honour their sacrifices.

A NEW EXHIBIT at the Comox Valley Art Gallery explores Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Drawing by Jeanne MacGrotty

CVAG cvag “These sacrifices come in many forms: distance from their families, missed holidays, birthdays, the ongoing stress and trauma of death and combat that linger on for a long time after coming home.

NIC art students sharing creations

Twice a year for more than 20 years, the students of North Island College, the Fine Arts department, and Emily Carr University of Art + Design, with the support of the community have put on a gallery show known as the Art Event. This event displays an eclectic collection of works created by fine arts students including painting, drawing, sculptures, ceramics, photography, prints and more. The 2013 autumn Art Event happens Nov. 16 from 7 to 11 p.m. and Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Shadbolt Studios on the Comox Valley NIC campus in Courtenay. Both days include art show, art for sale, food and coffee. The opening night includes entertainment, silent auction, raffle and cash bar. Admission is free, but donations to support art education are — North Island College appreciated.

These men and women carry many burdens doing their military duty that people safe back home can only ponder. “The residual of battle is an invisible turmoil defined by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD has been called many things, in many wars but the same is true over decades, the psyche and heart of a soldier is left in pieces on the forefront of war.” MacGrotty, based in

Lightly sweetened with naturally-sourced stevia, this pecan pie will make a tempting addition to any holiday table and appease guests young and old. FAVOURITE PECAN PIE Makes 8 servings Ingredients:1 refrigerated pie crust from a 15 ounce (425 g) package 2 large eggs 2 large egg whites 1 cup (250 mL) sugar-free maple syrup 2/3 cup (150 mL) Pure Via granulated 2 tbsp (30 mL) molasses 1 tbsp (15 mL) all-purpose flour 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt 1 cup (250 mL) pecan halves Sugar-free whipped topping (optional) Preparation: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll pie crust to an 11” (28 cm) circle. Fit into a 9” (23 cm) pie plate. Flute edges; set aside. 2. Whisk eggs and egg whites until blended. Whisk in sugar free syrup, Pure Via sweetener, molasses, flour, vanilla and salt until combined. Stir in pecans. Pour into pie crust. 3.

(NC) When it comes to creating a holiday atmosphere, not much compares with the fresh fragrance and beauty of a real Christmas tree. But like any living thing, it needs the right conditions to thrive. Peter Cantley, garden guru and vice-president Floral & Garden, Loblaw Companies Limited has a few tips to get the most out of your Christmas tree this season. Choose well - What’s the real secret to a greatlooking tree? Choosing well. Start with a quality tree with great form and excellent needle retention. Lush and long lasting, it will keep going strong throughout the holidays if it’s watered regularly. Find the best spot - Rule out locations in sunny windows or near heating vents – the direct sunlight and hot air will dry a tree out. Consider a spot where the family hangs out so it brings maximum pleasure. Make a fresh cut & water - Make a fresh cut on the trunk once the tree is home. Use a saw to take off a half to three-quarters of an inch of the trunk to ensure that the tree will be able to draw in all the water it needs to stay healthy looking. For the first few days, it will need loads of water and then it will slow down. It’s important to give it all the water it needs at the beginning. Monitor drinking habits - Once a tree dries out, it won’t accept any more water – game over! So make sure things never go that far. Keep an eye on the reservoir to make sure there’s always water present. Consider a stand with a big reservoir because it keeps refilling to a minimum.

Most important documentary? North Island College’s Institute of War and Peace will present The Act of Killing this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Stan Hagen Theatre (NIC’s Comox Valley campus). Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, the film documents the 1965-1966 Indonesian genocide that killed an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 accused leftists, intellectuals, and ethnic Chinese, a genocide that is rarely talked about in Indonesia and is not taught in the history books. The film is so sensitive within Indonesia that the 60-plus Indonesian crew members on The Act of Killing are credited as “Anonymous” for fear of retribution. Filmmakers fear that, if submitted to the governmentrun film board, the documentary would likely be banned and subsequent screenings would invite violent attacks by paramilitary groups. Instead, The Act of Killing was released within Indonesia via www.actofkilling.com, where local viewers can download the 159-minute director’s

cut for free. Said Oppenheimer: “The history of the 1965 genocide belongs to the people of Indonesia, and for that reason it has always been our intention to give the film to all Indonesians.” In this chilling and inventive documentary, the filmmakers examine a country where death squad

leaders are celebrated as heroes, challenging them to re-enact their real-life mass-killings in the style of the American movies they love. Shaking audiences at the 2012 Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals and winning an Audience Award at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival, The Act of Killing is an

unprecedented film. The Daily Mail states, “This might be the most important documentary ever.” The Guardian describes the film as “the most compelling thing you’ll ever see...almost every frame is astonishing.” All are welcome and there is no charge to attend. — North Island College

Perseverance Trail Run raises record amount This year’s Perseverance Trail Run on Oct. 27 was a huge success with 350 racers, 70 volunteers, sponsors and supporters coming together to raise funds for the Cumberland Community Forest Society. In its ninth year, the run raised a record donation of $9,000 for the CCFS. The CCFS is a local society working toward purchasing and protecting additional forest lands in the Cumberland area for recreation now and into the future. The conditions could not have been better for a fall trail race with above seasonal temperatures, blue sky and tacky trails underfoot. Racers came from all over Vancouver Island and as far as Victoria and Port Alberni to tackle the 10K and 3K courses in Cumberland with ages ranging from three to 82. The competition on the 10K course was fierce with over 250 racers toeing the start line. Top overall results in the 10K mountain run: Males 52:06 Andrew Pape-Salmon, 52:14 Miguel Laroche, 53:30 Andrew Howard. Females 1:02:07 Kelsey Knoll, 1:04:53 Kathy Rung, 1:05:24 De Orrell. Nearly 90 racers, young and old, tackled the 3K

A GOOD TURNOUT of runners enjoyed this year’s Perseverance Trail Run in Cumberland. cross-country run through the Cumberland Community Forest trails. Top overall results were as follows: Males 13:46 Gabriel Gledhill and Stephen Lamon tied for first, 14:05 Aiden Noble, 14:07 Hugo Henckel. Females 15:49 Jayden Grant, 15:50 Rachel Beech, 15:52 Eva Salmon. The Perseverance Trail

Run is run almost entirely by volunteers and headed up by co-organizers Lene Curts (Extreme Runners) and Sarah Seads (Equilibrium Lifestyle Management/ELM) along with Arran Kerrigan, John Wall and Terry Lewis. It takes a village to put on this event and a huge thank you goes out to nearly 70 enthusiastic volunteers who donated their

time and energy before, during and after this year’s race. Awesome volunteers tackled everything from registration, racer food, finish line, set up, course flagging, course marshaling, course sweeping, take down and more to make the day a success for the racers and the CCFS.

Schmidt rink captures Golden Hammer bonspiel

A EVENT WINNERS THE Schmidt team of Ron Schmidt, Todd Peachey, Don Pennell and Ken Woods.

B EVENT WINNERS The Branch team of Tracy Branch, Randy Baert, John Davis and Ernie Kassian.

The 2013 Golden Hammer Senior Open kicked off the Comox Valley Curling Club bonspiels for the season, and it was three fun-filled days (Nov. 1-3) of great competition. In Sunday’s final, Ron Schmidt and his Campbell River team of Todd Peachey, Don Pennell and Ken Woods captured top honours in the ‘A’ event. They defeated the Comox Valley team of Jack Holden, Mary Holden, Marty Duda and Shirley Wesley. Semifinalists in ‘A’ were the Dean Thulin team from Campbell River and Dave Pacholuk from the Comox Valley. This is the second time Schmidt has won the coveted bonspiel, also winning in 2010 while skipping a different team. The ‘B’ event final was between two local teams with Tracy Branch and his teammates Randy Baert, John Davis and Ernie Kassian defeating the team of Richard Tanguay, Andy Quant, Fred Pugh and Paul Otto. Semifinalists were the Lorraine Jeffries team from Port Alberni and Silvio Alberti from the Comox Valley. The ‘C’ event final came down to the last rock to decide

the winner. The Qualicum team of Lynne Noble, Donna Langlands, Crystal Murray and Lorraine Gagnon defeated the team of Wayne Harris, Ray Michell, Rick Thomson and John Lapointe. Dave Shortill filled in for Noble in the final game doing the skipping and throwing last rock. Semifinalists were Comox Valley teams skipped by Sandra Gallaway and Vern Reimer. The ever popular Crown Isle Draw-tothe-Button was won, for the second year in a row, by Dave Pacholuk.

VISAS holding meeting for new instructors The Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) at Mount Washington Alpine Resort is holding an orientation session for new volunteer instructors on Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. If you are a better than average downhill or cross-country skier or snowboarder (strong intermediate level), consider yourself “a people person” and can remember your own first thrill of a controlled slide down the mountain, then read on. For over 22 years VISAS has provided tons of fun for both instructors and their physically or mentally challenged students. Using a variety of adaptive equipment and constantly improving techniques, VISAS instructors quickly have students gaining confidence and satisfaction on runs and trails. Our first information meeting for prospective instructors will be on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. in

requires a minimum of 15 volunteer days of instruction from each instructor during the season, approximately one day a week. We have a social and cohesive group of instructors and Mount Washington is very supportive of our programs with many benefits accorded our

instructors. We may be the group for you. Check us out on the web at www.visasweb. ca or for more info visit our VISAS Facebook page and on Flickr. And find out how you can enter a team for VISAS’s major fundraiser, the Herb Bradley Pepsi Challenge, on Sunday, Feb. 16.

Contact VISAS president Brian Culley at 250-334-2994, cell: 250-897-5157 or e-mail: beculley@ gmail.com for more information. Other contact: Bob Hodgson 250-339-6833, e-mail: curlew@shaw.ca. – Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports

She is survived by her daughter Denise, son Kevin (Donalda), grandchildren Cole, Alison and Jillian, Bill (Amanda), great granddaughter Ava, sisters Ivy Bateman and Marjorie (Joe) Pavlik and numerous nieces and nephews. Maizie was the heart of the family, opening her home to relatives and friends at a moments notice. She was the ultimate hostess, renowned for her baking powder biscuits and apple pie. Maizie loved animals and worked at the Courtenay Veterinary Clinic until retirement. She knew everyone by their petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names! Maizie loved the outdoors and camping with her husband Bob and friends at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geritol Heightsâ&#x20AC;?. The Woods home was always filled with love and laughter. She will be dearly missed. No service by request. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Comox Valley S.P.C.A.

Houle Electric secures substation contract

Houle Electric has been awarded the civil, electrical and protection/controls contract to build the new Buckley Bay substation, BC Hydro has announced. The substation site is located about 3.5 kilometres north of the ferry terminal off Highway 19. The work is anticipated to run from November to the summer. “About 30 jobs will be created over this construction period,” says BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson. “This is another example of fostering economic development in the mid-Island region. For BC Hydro this project is first and foremost about keeping up with electricity demand and power reliability for customers south of Courtenay, to Denman and Hornby, and south of Buckley Bay, but it does create jobs.” Watson said about

SITE PREP IS complete at BC Hydro’s Buckley Bay substation. 100 jobs have been ongoing in Campbell River due to a new field office building and early site preparation works for the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project. BC Hydro anticipates announcing the preferred contractor for John Hart in

November, leading to about 400 people working at the site during a five-year construction period. Workers and equipment were also on site this summer at Buckley Bay. “The substation site preparation works were completed this past summer by

Upland Excavating. To date, the project has expended about $4.5 million of its $28 million budget,” Watson said. The project is on budget. The substation’s targeted inservice date is next October. “BC Hydro will pro-

vide the community with updates as substation milestones are achieved, or for broader awareness of project activities.” The Buckley Bay Substation Project is a significant investment for Comox Valley customers in continuing to provide power for an increasing population and better reliability. It allows BC Hydro to have a more versatile and robust electricity grid for the Valley by going from two substations to three. Customers south of Courtenay to Buckley Bay and beyond will have better reliability over time as the improved system will provide Hydro crews with more switching flexibility. These customers are about 25 kilometres from the Puntledge Substation in Courtenay. The new substation will be able to provide up to five new circuits.

BC Chamber called for flexibility in Job Grant talks

The BC Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Chambers across the country, was calling for flexibility and win-win solutions in critical federal-provincial job grant talks Friday. Federal Employment and Social Development Minister Jason Kenney sat down with provincial and territorial labour ministers in an attempt to find a workable solution to skills funding, the controversial Canada Job Grant and Labour Market Agreement funds. John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber, said the meeting was critical because skills training is the number one challenge facing B.C. employers, bar none. “If federal and provincial labour ministers can’t find a way through the current stalemate on the Canada Job Grant, we’re all in a lot of trouble,” he said. The Canada Job Grant was a cornerstone of this year’s federal budget. In its current form, it would redistribute federal transfers of labour market funds to the provinces into the new grant, which employers can access to train up employees. Canada has proposed a model where the federal government, provincial/ territorial governments and employers each pay one-third of

the grant up to a maximum of $15,000 per employee. The structure has triggered concern from provinces, territories and businesses. Pushback from provinces and territories, many of which face severe fiscal demands, has centred on the dual challenges of losing labour-market funds in conjunction with new grant costs. Canada’s business community has raised concern about costs to small and micro businesses. Winter called on federal and provincial ministers to come to

the table Friday with open minds and determination to find a workable solution. He proposed a starting point: a set of 10 principles that Canada’s

Chamber community has created as a way to move Labour Market funding talks forward. The principles stress flexibility – to enable provinces and territo-

On Monday when people honoured our fallen soldiers of wars long past and those serving in uniform now, Canadians needed to start thinking about the future of Remembrance Day and how it will remain connected to new generations. Memories and stories of the First World War now entirely reside in photos, films and text. Those with living memories of D-Day or hunting U-boats on the Atlantic or fighting on the Korean Peninsula become fewer every year. There will be a future not far off when students in Victoria won’t be able to hear first hand from veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War why they fought for the freedoms of others. More recently, Canadians fought and died in the mountains and badlands of Afghanistan, trying nobly, but perhaps futilely, to bring peace and security to a nation with more entrenched problems than can be solved by military action. Although that conflict certainly won’t be far from the memories of the veterans and families of that conflict, Afghanistan is also fading as a significant era for many Canadians. Understanding our past and linking it in meaningful ways to the messages and meaning of Remembrance Day remains a challenge for our society. It will require parents and grandparents to teach their kids their family stories and personal connections with past conflicts to drive home what sacrifice really means. Canada, to varying degrees, is ambivalent about its military and wartime history. Remembrance Day isn’t a statutory holiday in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. Our southern neighbour offers two official days of the year to celebrate its veterans and to remember past conflicts. The frontline face of Remembrance Day in Victoria are dedicated Legion volunteers, a group also aging and with few new people willing to take up the cause. For Remembrance Day to survive, the values of sacrifice, service and courage of the past need to be rekindled for the future. Victoria News Record Question of the Week This week: Twenty-five per cent of respondents so far say they are glad that B.C. and Alberta premiers reached an energy detente. This could result in a boost for our economy while risking our environment. Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll. Initiative by Active Comox Valley co-ordinator Jen Cox resulted in the Comox Valley being chosen as one of four ‘active’ communities from across Canada.

A total of $66 million spent by Victoria on meetings and consultants just to discuss aboriginal problems helps consultants, but not native people or taxpayers.

Courtenay has plans for money Dear editor, In a Nov. 5, 2013 letter to the Comox Valley Record, R. McCullogh asked what happened to the funds from the sale of property on Cliffe Avenue — the original intended site for a homeless shelter in Courtenay. City council withdrew their support for this location in 2011 due to opposition from various segments of the community. The Cliffe Avenue property was advertised for sale beginning in April 2013, and sold in May for the appraised value, $355,000 plus tax. On Aug. 19, 2013, the City of Courtenay announced it had purchased property at 810 Braidwood Rd. as the eventual location for a supportive housing project. The property was purchased for $264,500, plus tax. This property purchase was reported by several local media outlets. The remaining funds from the Cliffe Avenue property sale

along with $100,000 from Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) will be put towards this supportive housing project. Our agreement with the

Courtenay city coun❝ cil has identified this

housing project as their top strategic priority for the remainder of their term. David Allen

❞

Comox Valley Regional District, which transferred the Cliffe Avenue property and Island Health funding to the City, stipulates that these funds will be used “for the development of an emergency shelter and/or supportive housing elsewhere.” Courtenay city council has identified this housing project as their top strategic priority for the

remainder of their term. Representatives from the City of Courtenay met with Minister Rich Coleman in September to seek the Province of B.C.’s support for this project. The City is investigating funding opportunities from all levels of government, as well as partnership opportunities with local community organizations to run the facility. In related news, we are also in the process of engaging a social planning consultant to assist us with moving this project forward. Community engagement and consultation will be a key aspect of this housing project, and we will work closely with the consultant and the public in this regard. I encourage anyone with questions about this project to contact Courtenay City Hall or a member of our city council. David Allen Editor’s note: David Allen is the chief administrative officer for the City of Courtenay.

CVRD on ‘hell-bound train’ Dear editor, Through the regional district’s excellent educational programs we purchased tools to help us reduce our household waste and trips to the dump. We invested in some black composters and a tool to aerate compost that caused the worm population to explode. We obtained a cone-shaped biodigester for any scraps we don’t want to compost, burn, or flush. Our five or so trips a year to our spiffy landfill covers the rest of the “trash.” We spend about $30 a year and save the pink receipts for tax purposes. We like to go up to Cumberland to spend time and money after we visit the dump. Rural people have to have vehicles as there is no bus service. Imposing weekly garbage pickup will not change the need to drive up to dispose of any large items.

Pidgeon Lake has the best recycling facility, which even takes glass and batteries. Enter the urban planners, who added “mandatory rural garbage pickup” to the Regional Growth Strategy. Since then we’ve been on a train hell-bound to implement this program whether it suits our rural needs or not. I don’t see why we would choose to pay six times more a year for this pickup service. The worst idea of all is the “mandatory” part. That word is reason enough to oppose this initiative, because one solution does not fit everyone. What happens to the companies who are now providing this elective service? What effect would mandatory pickup have on the delightful small businesses in Cumberland where it’s nice to go after visiting Pigeon Lake? What about garbage pails

lining rural roads and tempting bears —how Bear Aware is that? What about the reckless — almost mandatory — consumerism that fuels the desire for mandatory pickup? If you are eligible to vote on Nov. 16, please do. At least this time we are being asked to express our rural opinion on an urban idea. I’d like to thank someone for that. Diane Bostock, Area C

Where’s visionary leadership? Dear editor, Surely visionary, female leadership would come up with better economic directions that protect the citizens of B.C., and the world, than selling/ transporting greenhouse gas emitting tar sands oil, coal and LNG! Scientific evidence is very, very clear that there is critical danger from continuing use of fossil fuels that are incriminated in the exacerbation of already-horribly unfolding climate change. Are the B.C. and Alberta premiers that addicted to “economic development at any cost” to sacrifice the other two key parameters of healthy society — local community strength (not always economy-based) including encouraging diverse alternative energy systems and a diverse, healthy, stable environment, the critical underpinning of all life, including human life? Climate change is proving to be very costly to governments and taxpayers worldwide. Can they not see the mounting economic costs to our own provinces that are aggravated by not directing government policy to rapidly winding-down fossil fuels and transitioning to renewable energies — costs to individuals (rising taxes, insurance premiums and property repairs) other Canadian businesses (lost business activity and costly repairs from

floods (remember Calgary?), violent weather shut-downs, etc.) offsetting the value of fossil fuel to provincial income and causing social grief? The two premiers are both so painfully out-of-touch with the

real governance priorities of the 21st century! As a final note, when did our democratic provincial and federal governments start working intimately with business and for privatization of

public goods and corporations’ assured profit and not their citizens’ universal well-being? Economy is NOT everything, especially at this time in history! Dr. Catherine Slater, MSc (Biology), JD, Quadra Island

Dear editor, People who live in rural areas already have garbage collection available to them if they want it. They pay for it. Those who don’t want garbage collection don’t pay. Simple. I am a retired, single woman living on a fixed pension. I manage my garbage disposal very well. It costs me $24 a year to go to the dump. My recycling is taken into town when I am going and I compost. What happens when I visit my family? What about the people who go south for three or four months every year? We will still pay for a service we don’t use. Let the people who want garbage disposal pay for it, as they are now doing, and leave the rest of us alone. Vanessa Cunnington, Fanny Bay

READER GARY FORT views the poppy much differently today.

Poppy OK now

Dear editor, There was a time that each poppy that was worn symbolized for me the bloodshed that I and thousands of veterans like me had witnessed and so I had an aversion to Remembrance Day and the poppy that had its roots in war. I have recently come to the realization that the seeds of peace have to be cultivated within. War certainly does not create peace; but it has laid the ground in which the seeds of peace are germinated. I now see the poppy as a symbol of what we need to become. We need to draw from the past and like flowers, open to reflect peace. And so I give thanks to all who have served and given their lives in order to fertilize our consciousness. Gary Fort, Comox Valley Editor’s note: Gary Fort is an Angolan War veteran and a self-described “cultivator of peace.”

The 2014 Comox Valley Conservation Calendars are now available for sale. The wall calendars are a one-of-a-kind educational tool, featuring stunning photographs of some of the Valley’s iconic natural areas such as the Tsolum River, Comox Lake, Strathcona Provincial Park, Morrison Creek, the Northeast Woods and the Comox estuary. Each month features a large colour photograph and pairs it with information about local environmental groups like Project Watershed, Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society and Comox Valley Nature. The calendar highlights the great work that these groups are doing in our community and is a great resource for people looking to learn more about the Comox Valley’s rich ecology or for volunteer opportunities. The calendar is published annually as a fundraiser by the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy (CVCS) Community Partnership. These funds directly support activities that promote and conserve natural areas through improved land use planning in the Comox Valley. “The annual calendar project is a real community effort. Every year, the CVCS

coordinates the gathering of information from environmental groups and photos from some of the Valley’s best photographers with the help of photographer Kerry Dawson. The photos are then reviewed and 13 finalists are selected,” said CVCS education and outreach co-ordinator Alison Millham. The calendars are available for sale at a variety of locations around the Comox Valley. In Courtenay, they are at Canadian Tire, Edible Island Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, Laughing Oyster Bookshop, the Comox Valley Art Gallery, London Drugs, Art Knapp’s, the Conservation Centre office at 2356a Rosewall Crescent, and the Ryan Road branches of the Royal Bank. In Comox, calendars are available at Portuguese Joes, Blue Heron Books, and at Mid Island Gifts at the Comox Airport. In Cumberland, the calendars are available at the North Island Visitors Centre and Seeds. The CVCS Community Partnership is a coalition of 20 local environmental and residents’ associations that support the Conservation Strategy. In addition, local schools, clubs and community groups are invited to use the calendar as a fundraiser for their own projects and activities.
