Voters reject rural recycling Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Rural residents won’t receive roadside garbage collection and recycling any time soon. In a referendum Saturday, voters in electoral areas A, B and C soundly rejected a proposal for solid waste pickup that would have serviced about 7,500 homes in the Comox Valley Regional District. Denman and Hornby islands, Royston and Mount Washington were to be excluded from the service. According to unofficial results, 73 per cent of 4,289 voters said no. The turnout percentage was 29 per cent. Several advance votes were held. Late last year, area directors asked CVRD staff to explore solid waste collection in rural areas because

it appeared public interest might be growing for a roadside service. Seventyfive per cent of 150 rural residents who participated in a telephone survey had indicated they would support such a program. Some residents were angered about not being able to opt out of the service, which would have cost about $150 per household per year. The CVRD board had awarded a three-year service contract to BFI Canada. The recycling portion of the pickup service was expected to help the CVRD achieve 70 per cent diversion from landfills. Official results will be posted by Wednesday. Check www.comoxvalleyrd.ca and www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and Thursday’s Record. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Ferry cuts coming Renee Andor, Record Staff

The Denman Island, Hornby Island and Powell River routes have been selected for B.C. Ferries service reductions by the Province. Service reductions to minor and northern B.C. Ferries routes, totalling $14 million in projected savings, will be implemented in April, Victoria said Monday. Community engagement starts this week, giving a chance for the public to comment on the planned changes. Details of this engagement are available at www. coastalferriesengagement.ca. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Comox water meter issue surfaces Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Driven by rising service and infrastructure costs, Comox council approved a recommendation for an incremental increase for 2014 in Town sewer and garbage fees, while continuing the discussion on water rates. At Wednesday’s committee of the whole meeting, council forwarded the bylaws to next week’s council meeting, approving a $27 increase (to $321) for flat-rate sewer fee and a

$21 increase for single-family homes and duplexes for garbage (with yard waste/ organics service). Mayor Paul Ives said the cost increase — particularly sewer — is related to the system capacity and the growth outside the community, not within the Town of Comox. “The sewer service is shared with Courtenay,” he noted. “We share in the system and the system is 30 years old. The reserves aren’t really there.” A staff report suggested no changes to flat-rate

residential water fees, but for metered customers, suggested water rates rise $0.03/m3 to $0.96. Prior to the rate discussion, Comox resident Natasha Baert-Hockin presented to council as a delegation her request to be removed from the water meter program. “At present, a metered household will pay more than an unmetered one,” she said, and explained she signed up for the program not realizing it was a permanent decision. While she admitted she

ardnuT 3102

should have more thoroughly reviewed the information prior to registering, she admitted to being “quite shocked” by the excessive cost of water despite conservation efforts. Baert-Hockin said in 2012, she used a total of 333m3, which cost her $379.33. The flat rate for water usage (up to 600m3) is $312. Despite her efforts, she noted she is paying the same amount as a person on the flat rate who would have used 648m3 of water. ... see METERS ■ A2

Meters working

Quote of the Day

Continued from A1

Ives, who noted he has also signed on to the meter program, said he is concerned there is not a lot of incentive to sign onto the program. “It doesn’t take a lot (for the water) to add up. Overall in the year, we’ve probably saved less than $10.” He suggested reducing the monthly minimum charge of $17.50 down to $15 or more. There are about 118 single-family homes on the metered program, along with approximately 100 units in three stratas, confirmed Don Jacquest, the Town’s director of finance. Coun. Ken Grant said the numbers tell him the program is not working, and suggested people who have signed up for the meter program should have the option to opt out. Coun. Patti Fletcher suggested people on the water meter program “are paying more than their fair cost for water,” and noted while she is in favour of water meters, the program isn’t fair. She suggested a motion to refer the report back to staff for further examination and options, which was approved. Couns. Barbara Price and Tom Grant were absent.

The correct time for the free everyonewelcome skate is 9:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. this Wednesday at the Comox Valley Sports Centre.

Berwick seniors, children interact

Salish has plans for aquaculture Renee Andor Record Staff

Renee Andor Record Staff

A new intergenerational program offers benefits to Comox Valley children and seniors, according to organizers. The pilot program, which started four weeks ago, sees Valley View kindergarten students visit Berwick Comox Valley once per week to do learning activities alongside Berwick’s senior residents. “We’re really enjoying it,” Valley View kindergarten teacher Karen Reimer says. “It’s wonderful for us to see the relationships that are starting to develop between the children and the residents … for our students especially, it just gives them a broader sense of their community and it gives the residents a chance to share their knowledge and experience, as well.” The kids are “very excited on our Berwick mornings,” she continues. “They’re starting to remember some of the seniors, and they look forward to seeing them again, and wondering what activity we’re going to be doing.” The program was started in partnership between the Comox Valley School District and Berwick Comox Valley. Valley View’s two kindergarten classes alternate Thursday mornings at Berwick so that each class goes every two weeks. A handful of interested Berwick residents have formed a core group of regular participants. The learning theme was names this past Thursday, so after some discussion on the subject, students were split into groups to create art using their names. Seniors sat at each of the student group tables helping students do their projects, and getting to know them. Berwick resident Barbara Shearer says she’s glad she tried the program as she now comes every week. “I think it’s an amazing program,” says Shearer, noting the children, who are four and five years old, are smart and observant. “I like children. I like to be with them. The older I get the better I like to be with them, and they’re so cute,” she adds with a laugh.

We’re really enjoying it. It’s wonderful for ❝ us to see the relationships that are starting to

develop between the children and the residents … for our students especially, it just gives them a broader sense of their community and it gives the residents a chance to share their knowledge and experience, as well.

❞ Karen Reimer

Berwick general manager Jackie Holt is pleased with the success of the program, pointing out it has surpassed her expectations in terms of the benefits to Berwick residents. “What’s really important, that I’m seeing in the residents is, not only the contact with young children, but also the opportunity for them to reminisce about when they were children,” she says, adding it can

be difficult for seniors to remember their lives when they were young children, and spending time with children can help trigger those memories. “Reminiscence is one of the most important things for people, for seniors to be doing, because it’s part of contemplating life, and contemplating life and all of the aspects of life is a very, very good thing psychologically.”

She adds the interactions between the kids and seniors also renews the seniors’ sense of fun and discovery. School district director of instruction for elementary Allan Douglas says the idea for the program came from a school district in B.C.’s Interior. He hopes to expand the program in the future because it’s working out so well. “Our plan is to start small like this, but there are many senior residencies throughout the Comox Valley that we could certainly look at expanding this pilot into,” he says, adding other schools are watching the program with interest. “It’s children learning with the seniors and seniors learning with the children and it’s just a lovely feeling.” writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Salish Sea Farms Ltd. hopes to start work this spring in preparation for geoduck cultivation, according to Richard Hardy. Salish Sea Farms submitted applications for tenure in September to the provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, totalling an area over 500 hectares in Comox Valley waters. Hardy, representing K’ómoks First Nation’s Salish Sea Farms, says the applications for sub-tidal aquaculture licensing to the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans focus on geoduck farming. Although the DFO is updating its management approaches for geoduck aquaculture, Hardy hopes the applications move along fast enough for work to start next year. “I’m anticipating us being able to get out and work on our sites sometime in the spring — that’s the goal of the K’ómoks First Nation,” Hardy says. “We feel that we have the support of the Province of British Columbia with regards to moving forward on our initiative; we’re just trying to gain the support from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.” The application areas include 55.75 hectares south of Seal Bay; 93.7 hectares northeast of Kye Bay; 105.3 hectares at Willemar Bluff; 7.3 hectares in Henry Bay; 135.7 hectares northeast of Denman Island; and 118.7 hectares on the east side of Denman Island. All application areas are sub-tidal, and Hardy notes the cultivation would occur 30 feet below the surface of the water. According to plans in the applications, PVC piping and predator netting would be used to protect the geoducks for the first two years of their growth cycle. Hardy notes geoducks take eight to 10 years to grow to size and, if the project moves ahead, the investment Salish Sea Farms will make before seeing profits is huge. “We’re looking at setting up our crop rotations where you’re doing 50 hectares annually that you’re harvesting and reseeding,” he says, noting Salish Sea Farms expects to spend about $10 million annually for the first eight to 10 years. “So, there’s a substantial investment by Salish Sea Farms for $100 million before we start generating any significant revenues.” Once up and running, he expects Salish Sea Farms’ geoduck cultivation to generate $50 million annually, pointing out indirect revenue generated for the local economy should be double that — $100 million per year. DFO is updating its policy around sea cucumber aquaculture, according to a DFO spokesperson, and will not approve any sea cucumber aquaculture licence applications, until this work is complete. The policy work is expected to be complete in 2014. MFLNRO will accept comments from the public about the applications until Nov. 28. Written comments can be sent to the Manager of Aquaculture at MFLNRO, (2500 Cliffe Ave. Courtenay, B.C. V9N 5M6), or via e-mail to AuthorizingAgency.Nanaimo@ writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com gov.bc.ca.

Friends concerned

Some Friends of Baynes Sound Society concerns: • Worry that there is too much aquaculture in Baynes Sound — want moratorium on expansion until more research completed, such as research on water quality, acidity levels and temperature; • Tenure sizes are large compared to average tenure size on B.C. coast; • Potential impact to herring spawn area and conflict with commercial herring fishery; • Potential increase in plastic debris leeching into marine environment and increased industry debris.

Howes has fond memories of Valley Successful music producer recalls Pam Anderson as ‘shy little girl’ Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The latest inductee onto the Comox Valley Walk of Achievement says he is still proud to be from this area. Music producer Brian Howes will be inducted onto the Comox Valley Walk of Achievement at the end of the month, joining the likes of broadcaster Red Robinson, actress Kim Cattrall and numerous Olympic athletes. The honour recognizes people who have excelled in their field of endeavour. Howes grew up playing hockey (he once coached future NHL goalie Byron Dafoe at a summer camp) and tubing the Puntledge River in Courtenay. He is a two-time winner at the Juno Awards, which recognize excellence in Canadian music. Last year, he won for producing Nickelback’s Here and Now, and for Storm by Hedley. He first won in 2007 for his production of Hedley and Hinder. On Nov. 30, a Walk of Achievement plaque will be unveiled on a downtown sidewalk following a ceremony at the Sid Williams Theatre. “I’m very honoured,” Howes said from his main residence in Los Angeles. “I’m very proud of being from the Valley. It’s a really cool award. “I told them I want to be in between Kim Cattrall and Pam Anderson,” he added with a laugh, referring to two other notable former Comox Valley residents. As a teenager, Howes remembers Anderson as a “shy little girl” who watched his band rehearse in his basement. The Vanier graduate started his musical career in the ‘80s when he fronted a cover band called Young Gun. In the 90s, upon hearing the grunge sound of Nirvana, Pearl Jam and the like, Howes formed DDT which signed with Elektra Records and toured with Kid Rock before falling apart. While touring as a solo artist he realized a passion for producing and

songwriting. “I like every genre of music,” said Howes, who has finished a new record by Hedley — the halftime act at this year’s Grey Cup. Howes has either written, co-written or produced each of the band’s singles over the past decade. “I’m like the fifth Beatle,” he quipped. He is also working on a new Simple Plan

album due out shortly. “Lots of action. It’s pretty exciting,” said Howes, whose company is being considered for the next AC/DC album. “That would be a dream come true.” Howes is also a sports fan. He enjoyed a recent Los Angeles Kings-Vancouver Canucks game from a box seat at the Staples Centre, compliments of his lawyer (also Dr.

Dre’s lawyer), who can’t stand hockey. Howes and his wife Leanne have a fiveyear-old daughter and a son who is eight months. The public is invited to the induction ceremony which starts at noon at the Sid, then proceeds to the courtyard for the plaque unveiling. The Comox Valley Walk of Achievement

committee is calling for nominations for 2014. Along with honouring individual excellence, the awards are intended to inspire young people to believe in themselves. “It’s good for the kids coming up,” Howes said. “If they give a hoser like me something like that, anyone can do it, trust me.” reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

A CEO-led sawmill taskforce and industry advisory group developed safety resources to distribute to industry, including best practice guidelines and an audit tool for dust-control management. Three new occupational health and safety guidelines related to wood dust were published, along with two hazard alerts to address risks specifically related to wood dust. Our officers re-inspected all sawmills to evaluate the industry’s efforts to manage combustible dust.

In 2013 and going forward, our officers will continue to address combustible dust as a regular part of their inspectional activity. This winter, a dedicated team of officers will re-inspect sawmills throughout the province. The sawmill industry has made significant progress in addressing dust management. We want to ensure that progress and compliance with wood-dust management requirements is being sustained. Safety in BC sawmills is a vitally important issue, firstly to those who work in the industry, and also to their families and communities.

Renee Andor Record Staff

Parents from three Comox Valley schools responded positively to the idea of active travel to school for their children. Active Travel to School program coordinator Angela Holmes sent out nearly 1,000 surveys at the end of October to families at the three Comox Valley pilot schools, École Puntledge Park, École Robb Road and Huband Park Elementary. Holmes says the return rate on the surveys has been good at about 30 per cent per school, and they’re still trickling in. “And out of those (returned) I’m really struck at how many families have answered, ‘Yes’ to the question, ‘Do you support active travel?’” says Holmes, noting almost all respondents replied positively to that question. “So, that’s encouraging. I think people see it as a way to have safer and healthier commutes for themselves and their kids.” Holmes, who is a Puntledge parent, was hired by the Comox Valley School District to co-ordinate the new Active Travel to School program. By the end of the school year, Holmes expects to complete student travel plans and safe routes to schools maps for each of the three pilot schools. If the program shows success the hope is to expand it to other Comox Valley schools in the future. This year’s program is a partnership between the school district, City of Courtenay, Town of Comox and the Comox Valley Cycling Task Force.

Some Huband parents, for instance, are

concerned about cougars stalking their children as they travel to school. Meanwhile, Puntledge parent Sharleen Kneeland notes busy traffic on Fifth Street is a concern for her and other area parents as they walk their children across the road to Woods Avenue on the way to school. “I would say it’s a growing concern,” says Kneeland, noting two recent incidents where

Childhood obesity, air quality, traffic congestion around schools, and rising gas costs are a few reasons for the need for increased active travel, according to the release. The first step, according to Holmes, is to gather data to see where the issues are. She’s busy inputing data from the surveys and expects to be finished by the end of this month. Then, walkabouts will happen at each of the schools. Those will include parents, school staff, municipal staff, (such as planners and engineers), and other

ALC paper exists – MLA Erin Haluschak Record Staff

TIME FOR FIESTA The Fiesta World Craft Bazaar remains Canada’s largest fair trade global craft fair. The annual event, which is more than two decades old, offered 110 tables across both floors of the Filberg Centre in Courtenay during the weekend. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

Typhoon help coming Scott Stanfield Record Staff

A lunch to benefit relief efforts following the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines will be held Nov. 30 from noon to 3 p.m. at Christ The King Catholic Church at 1599 Tunner Dr. in Courtenay. The lunch will feature Filipino noodles. Organizers are asking for a minimum donation of $10. A computer will be available for those wanting to donate online. Another fundraiser, A Taste of the Philippines, is being held Nov. 24 from 5 to 11:30 p.m. at the Native Sons

Hall in Courtenay. The federal government has pledged to match donations to charitable organizations supporting disaster relief in the Philippines. The Province is also committing to match up to a total of $300,000 in donations to the Canadian Red Cross by Dec. 9. Typhoon Haiyan — one of the strongest storms ever recorded with wind speeds reaching 300 kilometres per hour — destroyed at least 80,000 homes and left more than 600,000 people displaced. Qualifying monetary donations can be made until Dec. 9 at a government liquor store or at www.redcross.ca/

donate/donate-online/ donate-to-the-typhoonhaiyan-fund. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Despite a leaked proposal by the provincial government proposing to dismantle the Agricultural Land Commission, Comox Valley MLA Don McRae said nothing has been presented to cabinet. The former agriculture minister noted the document, which has current Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm seeking to modernize the ALC to ensure government’s priorities for economic development are reflected in ALC decisions, was a draft document. “He did assure me though that whatever was leaked to the media last week was a draft document and in no shape represents the final document that he intends to bring forward,” McRae explained. “However, nothing has been

tant to always have that conversation about how you want government to evolve and serve the people of British Columbia.” The proposal seeks to create two Agricultural Land Reserve areas with different regulations, change the ALC’s legislative mandate along with have community growth

applications decided by local government. In a second document, one change could see creating 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.”

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, November 19, 2013

New manager to oversee big changes From planting trees and castrating sheep in Alberta to coordinating hotel banquets in Toronto, Lezlie Chassé’s employment history is diverse. The one constant, however, is her love of a good challenge. So when Comox District Co-op general manager Joe Russell offered her the position of store manager at the Co-op’s Aspen Centre convenience store and gas bar, she jumped at the opportunity. “I love customer service, so I think it’s an awesome fit,” says Chassé from her new office in Comox. “It’s been really great getting to know our members and making friends with the staff.” Chassé’s responsibilities will include overseeing renovations planned for the store and implementing other changes, such as broadening the selection of fresh and organic food options for customers. “We knew Lezlie had the right kind of attitude and experience to take this store forward,” says Russell. “She has the energy and vision to make changes while maintaining our commitment to fast, friendly service and always putting our members first.” Chassé says she’s found her niche since arriving in the Valley a year and a half ago from Red Deer, where she worked at a bank but dreamed of moving to the coast. In February, she took on a position with the Coop’s administration,

erally works out to about a five-cents-perlitre refund on fuel. Not only does the Co-op put its earnings back into the hands of members, it also supports many local charities as well as cultural, environmental and social initiatives. “I love the enthusiasm of the people at Co-op; you can really see the support we have among our members,” says Chassé. “The more I learn about this organization and this Valley, the more I’m convinced I made the right move.” The Co-op is located at the corner of Aspen

Public Notice Inter-Community Business Licence Program

The municipal Councils of Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland are considering a new business licence program for mobile businesses operating within the central Vancouver Island region. With the introduction of an Inter-Community Business Licence program, mobile businesses will have the option of purchasing an additional business licence that will allow them to operate within twelve central Vancouver Island communities from Duncan through to Campbell River. The additional licence will carry a proposed annual fee of $150.00. A mobile business is defined as a business that performs a service in more than one community by moving from client to client rather than providing a service in a fixed place. Some examples include general contractors, construction trades, landscaping services, catering services, etc. For more information and draft enabling bylaws, please contact respective municipal offices or see websites. Representations regarding the proposed Inter-Community Business Licence Program may be made in writing, via email or as a delegation before respective Councils, as listed below:

Where’s the incentive? If the Town of Comox wants people to voluntarily sign on for a water meter, it has chosen a curious strategy. At last Wednesday’s committee of the whole meeting, council approved a recommendation for an incremental increase for 2014 in Comox sewer and garbage fees. As Mayor Paul Ives explained, the Town shares a 30-year-old sewer system with Courtenay. Reserve funds are not there to cope with increased demand, especially on the sewer system, caused by growth outside the community. Fleetingly mentioning the downside of growth, we return to the subject of Comox water rates, which was deferred at the COW meeting. A staff report suggested no changes to flat-rate residential water fees, but recommended rates rise for metered customers. Say, isn’t that the meter option that is voluntary to enter and impossible to leave? That’s what Comox resident Natasha BaertHockin heard after she told council she was “quite shocked” by what she was charged after she went on a meter and restricted her use. Baert-Hockin said it’s costing the same on a meter as someone on a flat rate using much more water. She asked council to withdraw from the meter program, but was rebuffed. Ives, who said he has a meter, too, noted there isn’t much incentive to sign up for a water meter. That’s especially the case because you can’t get out once your meter is hooked up. The lack of choice was a significant objection against a regional district plan for weekly rural garbage pickup and roadside recycling, but that’s an editorial for a different day. Coun. Ken Grant, a water meter opponent, said the Comox program is not working. He suggested people who have meters should be able to opt out. That would surely happen if Comox taxpayers continue to shell out more than their non-metred counterparts. Get with it staff, and recommend an increase in the flat rate. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Record Question of the Week This week: Eighty-seven per cent of respondents so far say they are concerned

that protected farmland might be open to development. What do you think about a leaked proposal the B.C. government is considering? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll. Co-operation by three North Island College instructors resulted in students learning about big-picture war and peace issues from three perspectives.

The solution to lofty bonuses for BC Ferries executives is to inflate their base salary? It’s easy to see why the organization has financial challenges.

Be smart with water meters Dear editor, Move forward with “smart meters” if they really are necessary, and encourage efficient and smart use of water for sustainable gardening in our community, is what I say. I also strongly agree with the comments and insight of Francois Lepine, who wrote to the editor Nov. 5 to examine and report on the so called “water problem” in the Comox Valley. Given the advent of modern technology, the input of intelligent thinking and planning, and the efficient use of water to grow vegetation, especially plants and trees that give something back, in the way of nutritious food for people, it would be a step backwards for local government to penalize and thwart people from having fruit, nut, berry, and vegetable gardens in their own yards, if they charge people extra for “wasting” water by using it to water plants that make a difference, and discourage this

practice. Moving away from the 100 Mile Diet to the 100-foot seasonal diet is a positive step in the right direction, and if meters are deemed necessary, then they should be “smart meters” that show what time of day/night the water is being used. People who have invested in smart computer-controlled irrigation systems, that can be used in the wee hours, at the greatest efficiency possible, should be given credit for their thoughtfulness, and investment, and charged a reduced amount to water at night. My system was very well thought out by the pro who installed it, and the little bit of lawn areas I have only get watered as a consequence of the bedding areas (where I grow fruit, nuts, and berries, and flowering ornamentals) getting watered, and the vegetable garden getting watered, and it is all done at the most efficient times in the wee hours just before

dawn. To charge people extra for water use beyond a certain designated amount, despite the time of day, is patently unfair, and a step backwards, especially if that water is being used for smart production of local food, to decrease the reliance on foods shipped from great distances away with a huge carbon footprint! Meter if you must, but make it fair, and make it smart, because the opposite will stymie the efforts of conscientious people trying to do the right things in their everyday lives to reduce their carbon footprints. Take two steps forward for real progress, instead of one step forward, and two steps backward, for a pseudo-responsible regulatory policy change. Stewart McIntosh, Courtenay Editor’s note: Stewart McIntosh is a retired ISAcertified arborist and a former BC Hydro utility arborist.

Dear editor, One of the best ways to create jobs and prosperity in a community is to buy local food. As the diagram from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows, local food spending has a profound and long-lasting ripple effect. Shopping at local food suppliers and markets does more than put quality groceries in your fridge: It’s active economic development. The Comox Valley Farmers’ Market is a visible part of our local food system. Making it even better is one of the goals of some marketing and survey work I’m doing as social media and research sponsor. I’m inviting you to help by giving the market feedback on your customer experiences. Plus, for

the month of November, you’ll be entered to win $20 in “market tokens” you can spend on local food at the market on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. The link to the online survey is http://j.mp/CVFMsurvey. The people I get to work with are very good at producing quality food. But they’d rather have their hands in the dirt than on a keyboard or a camera. The farmers’ market is one of the places where they get to interact directly with customers, and most of what I hear from them is very positive. I’ve also been surveying customers at the market. Again, most of what I hear is very positive. But I know there are more stories out there, and I’m invit-

ing you to use the online survey to help the market get a better handle on how to do what it does: Put good food into shopper’s grocery bags. The ripple effect of buying local food is significant, one of the most direct ways we can grow jobs and prosperity in our region. A flourishing farmers’ market is recognized across the world as an important element in this kind of grassroots economic development. Give the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market a hand by telling them about your experiences and ideas. And for the month of November, your input could win you $20 in local food spending! Looking forward to your input. Hans Peter Meyer, Comox Valley

Mystery re OCP

Some ideas about health

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD KURTIS WAS brave after being struck by a car on a Courtenay street.

Please, drivers, go slower Dear editor, This is about an eight-year-old boy who was hit by a car last week at the corner of First Street and Rod and Gun Club Road in Courtenay. He was taken by ambulance to hospital with a broken leg and other minor injuries. He and his sister were coming back from school; they were two doors from home. The driver was not speeding excessively, but

was startled and had not enough time to stop completely, when the child veered out in front of him to cross the street. The child was wearing a helmet. Please, drivers, slow down. This stretch of First Street is loaded with speeders on a long, straight stretch of road, seemingly out of the way of police monitoring. Kurtis was a really brave little guy — he

Only one planet

Dear editor, We have one planet. We don’t have another. All of us depend on this planet for our survival. Why is Christy Clark’s government intent on continuing the environmentally destructive politics of big oil? Does she really feel that British Columbians are so uncaring about the rest of the world that they would support increased extraction and export and burning of fossil fuels? Don’t we as British Columbians deserve and expect leadership in creating a sustainable future for all of us? If a wealthy country like Canada is not willing to invest in a green economy and alternative energy, who will? What hope is there for our children, the polar bears, and the future? S. Schiller, Comox

dragged himself off the street to safety and shed only a couple of tears as he waited patiently for his parents to arrive. Kimberley McMullen, Courtenay

Dear editor, We attended the Dr. Michael Rachlis lecture at North Island College last Wednesday evening. It was a full house to hear how our health-care system can be sustainable. He challenged the myths that healthcare costs are out of control and that we aging baby boomers will really deep six medicare. He presented many examples of how system reorganization, such as group primary care with accessible hours to manage people who need care on weekends and evenings. He is adamant that better use of health professionals such as nurse practitioners, registered nurses within scope as well as using the expensive expertise

of physicians when complex medical management is required. He strongly supports the use of social workers, as much of the complexity of management is due to social problems and the determinants of health such as poverty and homelessness. He talked about “advanced access,” which is a tool to help physicians’ offices manage workload better, so that people who need to be seen quickly can be accommodated without waiting. The B.C. Ministry of Health, in consultation with the BC Medical Association, has developed a half-day module for physicians and the medical office assistants to attend,

so that they can implement this program. It is available throughout the province. With these ideas in mind, we urge everyone to go to viha.fluidsurveys. com/s/ih2018/ and complete the Island Health (IH) online survey seeking input for the 2018 strategic plan. Susan Lanyon and Betty Tate, Comox Valley Editor’s note: Susan Lanyon and Betty Tate are retired registered nurses writing on behalf of the Comox Valley Association of Registered Nurses of BC Network.

Dear editor, What happened to the original OCP for the Comox Marina development? It was held as a public meeting years ago when Des Reid first applied for zoning for the marina infill. It was passed that the hotel should be built on the hillside below the town hall, that the east side of what became the Edgewater carpark was zoned for small marine-related business stores. I don’t remember it coming to the public for a variance — but he was allowed to go ahead and build next door to the expensive waterfront condos. Marty Douglas was at this meeting, and will probably remember it better than I. It all seems very unfair for those people who bought expensive condos in good faith. Robert Lamb, Comox Valley

Salvation Army launching kettle drive Friday The Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign, set to launch this Friday, will run until Dec. 24. The Christmas Kettle Campaign is aimed at raising money and awareness about the continued need for social service programs and resources to support vulnerable individuals and families here in the Comox Valley during the holiday season and year-round. Every dollar that is raised through the Salvation Army’s Christmas campaign (kettles, mailers and online donations) stays here in the Valley to support the Salvation Army’s ongoing work. The goal here in the Comox Valley is to raise $282,000 through the Christmas Campaign. The Salvation Army continues to offer donors a variety of ways to support this year’s Christmas Campaign: by way of physical donations through the Christmas Kettles, by stopping in at any of our locations throughout the Valley or by mail. You can also make a secure online donation by visiting our website (www. cvsalarmy.ca) and following the link for the Virtual Kettle. In 2012, the Salvation Army distributed 544 Christmas Food and Toy Hampers to families and individuals here in the Comox Valley. In the first nine months of 2013 (January to September) they provided 6,782 hot and nutritious meals as well as 3,706 beds through their Emergency Shelter (Pidcock House). In October 2013, 99 people had to be turned away from Pidcock House due to lack of beds. “Every day I hear the stories and see the faces of our neigh-

bours, friends, family members here in the Comox Valley who are struggling — struggling to pay their bills; struggling to put food on the table for their children; struggling to

keep the mortgage paid and keep the utilities on; struggling to properly clothe themselves and their children,” says Pastor Darryl Burry. “It is our desire to assist in whatever

area we can and to try and provide hope in the midst of these difficult situations.” You can make a difference in someone’s life this Christmas season by supporting

the Salvation Army through their annual Christmas Kettle Campaign. “We have approximately 2,500 volunteer hours that we need to fill for this Christmas

campaign,” says Burry. If you, your organization, business, community group, or even sports team would like to volunteer for as little as one twohour shift, or if you can

Esencia Flamenca is a Comox Valley-based flamenco troupe of musicians and dancers. Though not authentically from Spain, they deliver a passion for flamenco that is straight from the heart, engaging and inspired. They perform this Thursday at the Zocalo Café from 7 to 9 p.m. The show is a celebration of the beautiful and multi-faceted music and dance traditions that were born in the Middle Ages with the arrival of gypsy people in the Andalusia region of Spain. Drawing from ancient sources, the flamenco art form encompasses deep Arabic, Indian and African roots. Featured flamenco dancers are Tomomi Osaki and her students Edith Jacob and Laura Busheikin. Oscar Robles is on guitar and Britt Bowman on vocals with Osaki and Robles also featured as vocalists at times. Fiery footwork (zapateos) and rhythmic handclaps (palmas) also contribute an essential part of the music. As is typical of flamenco shows in Spain, the repertoire the Esencia Flamenca group will present at the Zocalo Café comprises a variety of palos (song forms); and, there are many. Rumbas and tangos are some examples of different flamenco palos. Alegrias, bulerias, soleares and tientos are other examples, each with a unique sound and feeling. Osaki has been dancing flamenco for going on 20 years. She is founder and teacher at the Comox Valley Flamenco Studio in Fanny Bay. She recently began teaching flamenco dance to students at Pantuso Studios in Courtenay. Her studies of the art

THE ZOCALO CAFÉ will be filled this Thursday with the sights and sounds of Spain, as created by Esencia Flamenca. form began in her native country Japan, where flamenco has a huge following as well as a strong movement of local artists. Ozaki has studied with many internationally renowned Flamenco dancers from Spain including José Galván, Adrián Galia, Eva La Yerbabuena, Juana Amaya, Angelita Vargas, El Toleo and Susana Escoda.

The Zocalo kitchen features authentic tapas on special which, served with wine, make a perfect pairing for the Spanishthemed evening. There is no cover charge to see Esencia Flamenca’s performance at the Zocalo, but donations are gratefully accepted.

Two Eagles Lodge is pleased to announce a Nov. 22 house concert featuring Ray Materick, Shelley Gravelle, and the BettyBGidd Band (including former Comox Valley musicians Bettyanne and Gidd Hampton). Materick is a well-known Canadian singer-songwriter from Ontario, who emerged on the international music scene in the 1970s when he garnered Top 20 Radio hits with songs like, Linda Put The Coffee On, which was one of the first Cancon radio standards. Ray’s wife, Shelley Gravelle, is a slide guitar player who was raised in Ontario in a “musical family” and inspired by the greats of blues — people like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Ella Fitzgerald, Willie Dixon and Billie Holiday. The featured musicians met up in the northern regions of British Columbia. Gidd and BettyAnne Hampton are also quite the accomplished musical duo — now residing in Fort St. John. An Island native, Gidd combines his passion and extraordinary skill on guitar with a unique voice and attitude; Bettyanne, who fell in love with the accordion, not only owns one, “but actually plays it like she is pulling your heart out with each push and pull of the squeezebox,” says a fellow musician. The BettyBGidd band, formed in the couple’s new hometown, also features drummer Dave Tolley, who has played percussion for years. He has recorded and/ or toured with Xavier Rudd, Nine Mile, Dayna Manning, Danny Michel, Mike Alviano, Peter Katz, Melissa Larkin and many others. Seats are limited, so advance reservations are essential; phone Carolyn at 250-335-2342. There is no corking fee, and guests are invited to bring an appetizer or dessert to share and/or a non-perishable food item for the Comox Valley Food Bank.

Band, Becker at Waverley High Society is an unstoppably dramatic rockin’ soul and blues band, eager to fill your eyes and ears with euphoric excitement and inspiration. In 2010, Chelsea D.E. Johnson and Adam Farnsworth started a bi-monthly showcase called Sunday’s Best. They took on multiinstrumentalist Ashton Sweet on the baritone saxophone and welltoured percussionist Kenan Sungur on drums. The night became a local hit and the band grew tighter as they prepared new material for each show. In 2011, the group changed their name to High Society and brought their material to Mushroom Records and CBC Studio 2 to record their self-titled debut album. They have featured as a main act at the Robson Valley Music Festival and Arts Wells, backed burlesque troupes, rocked house parties,cafés, bars and theatres across Western Canada and are eager to make the leap to the East Coast tour circuit. Based out of Vancouver, High society will perform Nov. 22 at the Waverley Hotel with special guest Annie Becker. It’s hard to believe this girl is from the West Coast and not from the basement of a late-’30s jazz club. Becker has been cloaking her audiences in a gyp-sea of horns, guitars, pianos,

basses, ukuleles, and drums laced with sultry soundscapes and groovy beat-boxing styles over stages and streets across Canada. For more about the musicians, visit www. highsocietymusic.ca. — Cumberland Village Works

5 EASY TIPS FOR HEALTHY EATING DURING THE HOLIDAYS (NC)Is there really any way to eat healthy during the holidays? Yes, no and maybe are all correct answers. The temptations are great, but here are some simple ways to stay on track: • Never arrive at a party hungry. Before heading to a holiday event, eat a light snack of raw veggies or fruit, such as a cluster of grapes. You'll feel satisfied and therefore not so prone to overeat once you arrive. • Plan time to exercise throughout the season. It will help relieve stress and help prevent weight gain. • If you're going to a potluck, bring your dish plus a simple bowl of grapes to hedge your bets. Grapes are always festive, decorative, easy-to-serve – and best of all, every colour of California grapes – green, red, and black – are available through January. • At the buffet table, be selective. Choose only your favourite foods and be sure to include some fresh fruit or vegetables to help balance your plate. • Listen to your body. Eat until you are satisfied, but not over full.

MAT MAYHEM AT its best was featured in the Slams for Sebastian 2 Over The Top Rope Battle Royal, with all the wrestlers in the ring at one time.

PHOTOS BY MARY NESS

Goode wins second straight Slams crown The ring was rocking Nov. 9 at the K’omox Band Hall as a gritty group of grapplers gathered for Slams for Sebastian 2, a pro wrestling fundraiser for Comox Valley charity YANA (You Are Not Alone). Organizers are still tallying the final figure of monies raised, and thank everybody who helped out. “A huge thank you to my better half, Ashley Shea, who ran the event, with me (wrestling on the card) and Keith (Spinks) being in Fort MacMurray,” said Barry Welsh. “My mom Sandra Welsh came all the way from Pemberton to help out,” Welsh added. In preliminary round action, Lak Siddartha beat Krofton. Krofton threw everything but the kitchen sink at the Prince of Power, including an over-the-toprope somersault, but in the end, as with most opponents, Lak put him down with the F5. The Vancouver Island title match did not materialize as champion B.J. Laredo produced a letter from VIPW commissioner Mike Democrat stating the match was unsanctioned and thus would be a nontitle tilt. Ravenous Randy Myers took it all in stride and

pinned the reigning champ 1-2-3. Fan favourite Cremator Von Slasher engaged El Phantasmo in a wildly entertaining contest where the big man was felled by El Phantasmo – with some assistance from Lak Siddartha. After the match both Siddartha and El Phantasmo attacked Cremator, until he was saved by Ravenous Randy. Slams commissioner Tim Chaisson made a match for the next time wrestling is in the Comox Valley which will pit Cremator and Ravenous Randy against El Phantasmo and Siddartha. The women’s match featured Riea Von Slasher and KC Spinelli. These two ladies know each other in the ring so well that all it takes is a brief slip up by one of them for the other to capitalize. Riea Von Slasher was victorious this time, but it is clear that things are not even close to being over between these two. The action heated up when Comox Valley’s Barry Goode and Campbell River’s Mike Becherer entered the ring with their manager Amanda (Sebastian’s mother) for their tag team match with Scotty Mac and Andy The Dreadful Bird.

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS Barry Goode of the Comox Valley and Mike Becherer of Campbell River celebrate with manager Amanda Cobban. PHOTO BY MARY NESS With an apparent injury to his original tagteam parter Jamie Diaz, Scotty Mac chose a worthy replacement. After over

20 minutes of hard-fought action, Scotty Mac was attempting to put Goode down for good with his patented Super Kick. However

Scotty’s womanizing ways cost him, as for a brief second he turned his attention to Amanda for a kiss…all he received was a slap in

the face, allowing Goode to make the hot tag to Becherer. Becherer cleaned house, eventually pinning Andy the Dreadful Bird cleanly in the middle of the ring. The Slams For Sebastian 2 Over the Top Rope Battle Royal did not disappoint. The end came when Scotty Mac had Goode on the mat and was holding him for a high-flying finishing move from Andy the Bird. Goode quickly fought back, eliminating the Bird. After some jockeying back and forth, Goode missed a top-rope manouevre. Scotty Mac had him set one more time for a Super Kick, which Goode ducked and then eliminated Scotty with a clothesline to become a two-time Slams for Sebastian Battle Royal champion. After the match Scotty and The Bird attempted a bit of retribution, but thankfully Becherer was there to save his partner. QUICK PINS The card was held in memory of Sebastian Cobban, who passed away due to a rare disease just shy of his 11-month birthday … the date for Slams for Sebastian 3 will be announced on Facebook … – Slams for Sebastian 2

Riptide ride out the Storm in U14 soccer action Riptide prevailed 2-1 over Upper Island rivals Storm from Nanaimo in a hard-fought Vancouver Island Premier League U14 boys soccer game Sunday, Nov. 10 at Vanier field. Playing in excellent fall soccer conditions, Riptide controlled the first half, scoring 10 minutes into the game when Storm defenders lapsed, allowing a quick ball from Nicholas Mitchell through to Charlie Purcell, whose well-placed shot beat the Storm’s goalkeeper cleanly.

Riptide continued to pressure and when a Storm defender fouled Mitchell in the box he made no mistake from the penalty spot to put Riptide up 2-0 at the half. The Storm pressured well in the second half and closed the gap when they were awarded a penalty kick from a hand-ball call. The final 20 minutes were intense with both keepers called upon to make excellent saves in support of their teams. With the win, Riptide consoli-

dated their hold on second place in the VIPL U14 division. Riptide travelled to play first-place Saanich this past weekend, marking the halfway point of the regular season. Riptide play at home Sunday, Nov. 24, 2 p.m. at Vanier against the U15 Lakehill/Gorge team from Victoria.

CARDS OF THANKS CARD OF THANKS

The family of Donna Pederson would like to thank everyone that came to our home or called to offer condolences for our sister, mum, aunt, and friend. We would like to thank everyone that brought goodies, cards and flowers. All of those things helped us through a difficult time. She asked us to have a party. We certainly did that and she would have been proud to see the number of people that cared for her. She will be missed by many. We would also like to thank the nurses, doctors and support staff at St Joseph’s Hospital for making the passing of her as easy at it could be. Everyone involved was caring of Donna, as well as her family and friends at that difficult time. Although it was evident they were very busy, the care and professionalism she received was evident.

VISAS Snowsports Festival P ESHO V O L E V I L

L A C LOionmtohxe Valley

This winter the Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) 2014 Learn to Ski/ Snowboard Winter Sports Festival runs from Sunday, Jan. 5 to Thursday, Jan. 9 at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. “Anyone with a disability is welcome to apply,” said Rose Kerr, chair of the 2014 Learn to Ski Festival. “It’s a great opportunity to get involved and receive four consecutive days of ski/boarding instruction from our nationally certified instructors. VISAS provides free instruction, lift passes, equipment, two banquets, daily transportation from Courtenay to the mountain and a great time!” The popular Winter Snowsports Festival is limited to 35 students and is open to anyone over the age of six who has some ability to learn, with priority given to first-time participants. “We have had people from as far

away as Great Britain participate in the Festival,” added Kerr. In its 22nd year, VISAS’s volunteer instructors are getting ready for another exciting year on the mountain. Over 80 VISAS ski and snowboarding instructors volunteer their time seven days a week to provide those with a physical or mental disability a chance to learn to downhill ski, snowboard or cross-country ski, and at very little cost. It’s never too early to also start thinking about VISAS’s major fundraiser for the season, the Herb Bradley Pepsi Challenge (HBPC). Proceeds from the HBPC allow VISAS to continue to hold programs such as the Winter Snowsports Festival. Sponsor a team and enter this fun ski/snowboard event at Mount Washington on Sunday, Feb. 16. For more details on the HBPC, the 2014 four-day Winter Snowsports Festival, and to download an application, visit www.visasweb.ca. Applications for January Snows-

Discounts are being offered to first-time skiers, snowboarders and cross-country skiers at ski areas across Canada, including Mount Washington Alpine Resort. Discover Skiing and Discover Snowboarding are all-inclusive lift, lesson and rental packages at Canadian ski areas from coast to coast. Discover CrossCountry are all-inclusive trail, lesson and rental packages for new Nordic skiers. Canadians looking for healthy, outdoor recreational activities this winter can save hard-earned dollars while learning these sports. “Studies show when kids are dressed warmly and are exposed to outdoor activity their metabolic rates speed up and they burn calories faster,” says Patrick Arkeveld, president and CEO of the Canadian Ski Council.
