Stocky to be knighted on 70th anniversary of D-Day Friday, June 6 marks the 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, commonly known as D-Day. The Comox Valley Record commemorates the historic day with a look at a living legend who was there, June 6, 1944. Scott Stanfield Record Staff
June 6 marks the day in 1944 when Allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy to begin the liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany. Friday also marks the 93rd birthday of Stocky
Edwards, who will be knighted that day by the French government for his actions during D-Day and the Battle of France. It’s another accolade bestowed upon the Comox resident who is a decorated Second World War fighter pilot ace. “Unexpected,” Stocky said of the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour. “A bit late…You never know.” He was nominated for the honour by longtime friend, Syd Burrows, who served 33 years in the air force. “He’s one of my mentors,” said Burrows, recalling
STOCKY EDWARDS, centre, is to be knighted by the French government. He and friend Syd Burrows, right, are pictured with a CF18 demo pilot. when he was a young flying officer and Stocky was a squadron commander. “He’s
a legend. I just love him. If the French are going to give this medal away, fine. Who
better than Stocky?” Canada’s highest scoring ace in the Western Desert Campaign, Edwards earned respect for his quick reflexes, flying abilities and shooting instincts while serving with 260 Squadron in the Western Desert Air Force in North Africa in 1943. During the war he flew Spitfires after first piloting a Kittyhawk, which has since been refurbished by Vintage Wings of Canada. By the start of 1943 when he was a flight commander, Stocky had earned a Distinguished Flying Medal and Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for acts of valour
or courage. Edwards is also an Order of Canada recipient and Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame inductee. In 2009, he was named one of the 100 most influential Canadians in aviation. He is also the subject of a book, The Desert Hawk, penned by Barbara Hehner. When interviewed, Stocky had yet to decide if he would receive his latest award by mail or attend a ceremony in Ottawa. “It’s hanging in abeyance,” he said with a laugh. Still a physically active man, Stocky and his wife Toni enjoy walks at Goose Spit.

Students take their turn on the picket line
Province-wide day of protest as those affected the most have their say
she’s fed up with the battle. “I don’t believe that it’s fair that students are the bargaining chips for a dispute between the teachers and government,” said the Grade 11 student. “We are missing out on school hours, with exams coming up – especially the Grade 10s and Grade 12s, who are taking provincial exams. “There are extracurricular activities begin taken away. Isn’t [school] for the children? Why do we have to be the ones to suffer?” Massicotte said she and her peers aren’t taking sides. They are mad at both sides of the dispute. “We are not for the government and not for the teachers – it’s the students we are doing this for,” she said of the protest. “We think it’s a childish dispute. Just come to terms and get it done with. Just agree. This has been going on for years and it’s ridiculous.” Shelby Richardson, a Grade 8 student at Isfeld, is organizing the protest at her school.

Students at schools in the Comox Valley fought back on Wednesday morning, with a walkout of their own. Frustrated with the lack of progress in the dispute between the teachers and the provincial government, those affected the most stepped out of class and onto the streets to voice their displeasure in the dispute. Similar protests took place in communities throughout the province on Wednesday. The protesting students planned on missing the entire day of school. Erika Massicotte of École Au Couer de L’Ile in Comox took part in the protest, as her way of letting both sides know that
VALLEY VIEW ELEMENTARY School students walked out of class on Wednesday to protest the impasse between teachers and the provincial government. Tens of thousands of students signed up for the province-wide student walkout on a special Facebook page. PHOTO BY RENEE ANDOR found the “BC student walkout for students” page on Facebook and realized that no one had started organizing it yet at Isfeld so she took the initiative. “The BCTF and the government have been going back and forth for 13 years, which, for me and for many people that I know, that’s our entire education,” Richardson said, on Tuesday afternoon. “And it’s getting very tiring having limited opportunities and having the teachers not be able to give us extra help that we need, so I decided when I found that this is going on, I would take a stand.” She was anticipating that up to 100 students would take part in the Isfeld protest.

COMOX GRADE 1 STUDENT Gabriel Callicum led the survivor lap at last year’s Relay for Life in the Comox Valley, and his mother Jeannine Lindsay is helping organize this year’s Relay as a volunteer.
Relay for Life: A story of survival Renee Andor Record Staff
Comox resident Jeannine Lindsay knows firsthand the importance of the work the Canadian Cancer Society does. Her son Gabe (Gabriel) was diagnosed with leukemia when he was two-and-a-half years old. Now, in Grade 1, Gabe has been cancer-free for one year. “The Canadian Cancer Society has helped so much in the last few years,” says Jeannine. “When (Gabe) was diagnosed he only had a 75-per-cent survival rate put on him, and two years later it was bumped up to 80 per cent. Now it could even be higher, just from the research done — and the funding that comes from the Canadian Cancer Society goes towards that.” Gabe led the Survivors’ Victory Lap last year for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in the Comox
A year after leading Survivors’ Victory lap, Gabe Lindsay a picture of health Valley, and now that he’s no longer sick, Jeannine decided she had the time to volunteer as an organizer for this year’s Relay for Life. The 12-hour event runs from 7 p.m. Saturday, June 7 to 7 a.m. Sunday, June 8 at the Vanier Track. Relay offers a chance to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones who lost their battle with the disease and fight back against it by fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society. “It’s a really fun event,” says Jeannine, who also participated in Relay when she was in her teens. “Every year I have gotten to meet so many new people and hear stories about survival and the fight against cancer. It is amazing how much it touches people of all races, ages and backgrounds. You actually get to hear those
stories at Relay For Life.” You can even volunteer your time for just a day,” adds Jeannine, as she notes volunteers are still needed. “Fulltime, part-time, for just one event or day makes a big difference.” Those interested in volunteering at the Valley’s Relay for Life can contact Tracy Berg at 250-668-6794 or tberg@bc.cancer.ca. Sixty-five teams have signed up for the Comox Valley event so far, which adds up to more than 500 people. More than 20 teams are from Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School; the school participates in Relay as a grad class activity to give back to the community. This year’s theme is Wave Goodbye to Cancer, and participants are encouraged to dress up in nautical-inspired outfits. Teams can register
online at www.relayforlife. ca until Friday, June 6, or even Saturday at Vanier Track. The registration fee is $20. Games, food and performances will keep participants entertained throughout the night. As well, survivors are invited to take part in the Survivors’ Victory Lap, which is the first lap at 7 p.m. Luminaries will be lit at dusk to remember loved ones who lost their battles with cancer. Participants are asked to bring a can of food to weigh down their luminary, which will then be donated to the Comox Valley Food Bank. For more info, visit www. relayforlife.ca or visit Relay for Life Comox Valley on Facebook. Funds raised via Relay for Life go to the Canadian Cancer Society to support cancer research, people living with cancer and cancer prevention initiatives.

A Courtenay woman, bothered by repeated calls from a person offering to fix her computer, is concerned somebody – namely a senior – is going to fall for the scam. Linda Jeffrey — herself a senior — has so far received about 30 calls, five of them last week. The caller claims she has a bug in her computer, which can be repaired for a price. She has tried hanging up but continues to receive calls, as have her neighbours. “If you say you’re not interested, then they get really nasty,” Jeffrey said. “This is bad. They get really rough with me.” Jeffrey is on a list to stop solicitors from calling within Canada. However, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has told her the calls are coming from India. The CRTC encourages people to forward information about unwanted telemarketing calls, especially if their number is on a national do-not-call list. The commission can investigate complaints when it has sufficient information. The public is asked to write down as much information as possible — number on the caller ID, time of day, what the caller is saying — and pass it on to the CRTC online or by phone. ‘’The more information we have the better we can investigate,” a spokesperson said, noting out-of-country calls are a “very complex issue.” Besides the CRTC, the Canadian AntiFraud Centre is another option for complaints. The centre collects information and criminal intelligence on mass marketing fraud (telemarketing), advance fee fraud letters, Internet fraud and identity theft complaints. For more information call 1-866-580-3625. Contact the CRTC at 1-877-249-2782.

Conservation officers are warning the public to keep a close eye on pets and outdoor food sources after a cat was killed by a cougar Friday evening on Cumberland Road in Courtenay. Conservation Officer Gord Gudbranson said there were two different sightings of two cougars — possibly a mother and her cub — around the Cumberland Road area. “RCMP were contacted and we released tracking dogs. We couldn’t locate them (initially) but the dogs did pick up the scent,” he explained. Gudbranson added they notified neighbours and later that evening, they received a second report of a young female cougar attacking a house cat in a residential backyard. “We believe it could have been the same cougar which was seen in the Royston area around Haas Road about a week ago, sleeping on porches and looking down at people while up in a tree. It is a public safety concern,” he explained. The cougar was found and euthanized. Gudbranson added because the days are longer and warmer, more people are enjoying the outdoors, and with that comes the possibility of more interaction with wildlife. “We live in a beautiful area, but we have to remember it’s a really a wildlife corridor,” he said.“Cougars generally come out at first and last light, and people should be aware of that and monitor their area during key times.” He said residents should take proactive measures, such as not keeping pet food outside or near a back porch, as it could attack racoons, a main prey for cougars. “Deer are also prey for cougars, so when you can see a deer, you can see a cougar. Make sure to monitor pets in recreational and greenbelt areas, and we always advocate that dogs should be on their leash.” He explained because of numerous feral cats, cougars can become habituated and could get used to feeding on them, and quickly become a public risk, as they generally feed on rabbits, deer and beavers. Gudbranson encourages the public to

A green space with ocean and mountain views, benches to sit down on and a garden to relax in is now officially open on the backside of St. Joseph’s General Hospital for patients, employees and visitors. Last Friday, the healing garden was officially opened during a formal ceremony, acknowledging the community for entrusting its care in the hospital for the last 100 years, explained Lynn Dashkewytch, executive director of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation. “It was determined that a healing garden would fit really well with a lasting legacy for St. Joseph’s,” she added. Former nurse, clinical coordinator and educator Barb Paulson said to the crowd of more than one hundred gathered for the ribbon cutting ceremony, she has worn a variety of hats around the hospital, and appreciates the garden for what it will offer. “As an employee, I really think we can benefit from this healing garden. It will give us time so we can get out of our busy hectic schedules.

Screen door saleslady scams senior Scott Stanfield Record Staff
A Courtenay senior who paid a deposit for a retractable screen door wound up with nothing but a hole in her wallet. Isabel Dumas purchased an AIRA door from Eclipse Technologies at the annual Comox Valley Home Expo in April. The company had a special offer. A sales rep, Rhyannon Ness, took measurements at her home on the day of the show, in return for a $185 deposit, or half the amount down. Thinking this was normal for a custom-made item, Dumas handed Ness a $185 cheque April 12. It was cashed
Deposit paid, measurements made, cheque cashed but no screen door April 14. Dumas was told the door would be installed in a couple weeks, but she never heard back from Ness. She left several messages with Ness in early-May and with the manager of customer service later in the month. By May 28 she had had enough. So she searched out the office in Nanaimo, but the door was locked at its Wellington Road address. Eclipse shows another address on Boban Drive, but it too was a dead end. “I don’t have any hope of getting my money back,” said Dumas, who had not contact-
ed police. “Lesson learned for me, boy. I’m not well off but I’m not hurting that much that I’m going to miss that money, it’s just the principal of the damn thing.” Calls to Eclipse by The Record were not returned. The company website advertises a “low-investment, high return business opportunity” for potential dealers. Dumas assumed Eclipse was reputable, considering she found it at the home show, which comes at a price for vendors. Terry Johnson, owner of the Home Shoppe in Cour-
tenay, used to sell the same product. He would spend several hundred dollars to vend at home shows. Though no longer selling the doors, his business is still listed as a dealer on the Eclipse website. “We used to sell a lot of them,” said Johnson, who sold his last screen door three or four years ago. “We just found the market wasn’t as vibrant as it used to be. We spent all our money in the home shows.” Johnson notes the availability of the doors at various retailers, as the reason for the drop in sales. “It was a paying proposition several years ago, but not anymore,” he said.

The federal review panel for the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal downplayed the risks of a heavy oil pipeline and tanker terminal at Kitimat, and its endorsement should be rejected, 300 scientists have told Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The federal cabinet is expected to release its decision on the project this month, after a review panel report in December recommended it is in the public interest. A letter from two University of B.C. scientists and one from Simon Fraser University, endorsed by academics and graduate
students from around the world, was released this week. It says the panel’s report took “a broad view of the economic benefits, but an asymmetrically narrow view of the environmental risks and costs.” The benefits come to Alberta oil sands producers from an expected higher price for their crude in Asia. But the environmental risks assessed by the panel are limited to transportation by pipeline and tanker, and omit the risks and emission effects from production and later consumption of the oil, the letter states. Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said the joint review panel (JRP)
weighed evidence from top experts in the field. “By actively seeking to undermine the work of these experts outside of the JRP process, the signatories of this letter are denying the experts and opportunity to defend their work,” Holder said. The Harper government has signaled in recent weeks it is preparing to green-light the project. On May 14, Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Transport Minister Lisa Raitt announced a new rule for federally regulated pipelines, assigning “absolute liability” for costs and damages of $1 billion even when their operation is not at fault. This is on top of unlim-
ited liability when the operator is at fault or negligent. On May 27, Rickford announced a new major projects management office for Western Canada, intended to increase aboriginal employment and business opportunities related to pipelines, tankers and safety systems to protect them. The JRP report cited 209 conditions, including a protection plan for whales and other marine mammals, and continued work on heavy oil cleanup. Northern Gateway officials say their marine spill prevention and response capabilities would be more than three times required by existing law.

WATER PRESSURE INCREASE Starts July 3 in a section of East Courtenay The City of Courtenay will be increasing the water pressure in East Courtenay for the highlighted area on the map below starting July 3, 2014. The pressure from the City water service will be increased by approximately 173 KPa (26 psi) to a range of 607 to 730 KPa (88 to 106 psi). The water pressure is being increased to improve water quality and re ow capabilities in the water system.
Important: Locate the pressure reducing valve (PRV) in your house and check that the operating pressure is set to meet the pressure restrictions of your internal plumbing and xtures. If you don’t have a PRV on your internal water line, it may be prudent to have one installed by a registered plumber.

The Gardens on Anderton recently received a new wheelchair accessible pathway, thanks to a grant from the Comox Valley Community Foundation. The old gravel pathway was replaced with a new stone pathway, leading to the Gardens’ wheelchair accessible toilet. Earlier this year, Anderton Therapeutic Gardens Society received a $3,790 grant from CVCF, which was used to complete the new pathway. “The funding CVCF provided for this project is very important for the Gardens and we are very grateful for their contribution,” said Anderton Therapeutic Gardens Society

Early jump on tomatoes for Duchess of Dirt W
ow! The tomato seedlings got planted in the greenhouse by May 18! Well ahead of schedule. In fact, this year is the earliest we have ever planted them. The cooler temperatures last year pushed us back...a full 29 days later than this year. What a difference! Have also potted up my tomato seedlings for growing in my front garden. Earliest I have gotten this done too. I grow tomatoes in pots mainly to see how well they will perform...with a focus on growth habit in a limited space. Many people just have a tiny garden, patio or balcony to work in so being able to grow some veggies in pots is doable for them...and still have room for a chair or two. Another criteria for me is the ability to save seed in order to grow more plants the following year. This means I have to grow open-pollinated varieties. In order to save uncontaminated seed I have to adhere to spacing distances between the different varieties. There is much promiscuity that goes on in a garden, you know. Flowers are all about sex. Like a kid turned loose in a candy store, pollinators will visit as many flowers to collect as much nectar as their little bodies can hold. That is OK as long as you are not planning on collecting and saving seeds. Not so good if you are. Thankfully, tomatoes are largely self-pollinating. But crosses have been known to happen through sheer exuberance by the pollinators. So I grow tomatoes on my driveway and in other spots around the garden, well away from the ones we grow in the greenhouse. However, growing tomatoes in pots out in the open puts the plants at risk of contracting late blight. This is caused by a single-celled organism, Phytophthora infestans, which is not a virus, bacteria or a fungus...although it is often referred to as a fungus. Late blight will destroy the entire plant along with all of the fruit. It is a roll of the
grafted onto the stem of another tomato which has a stronger growth habit. It is an extremely delicate procedure because the propagators are working with delicate tissue rather than the sturdier softwood cuttings of roses, etc. Amazing really. From all accounts,
Duchess of Dirt
Leslie Cox dice. But I gamble because I want to know which, if any, tomato varieties may be resistant. Some are tougher than others. Ultimately, I trial tomatoes and other veggies in pots in order to judge how well they will work in the school gardens at the six elementary schools I work with. Garden space is limited in which to grow enough food for all the students to enjoy. And of necessity, the plants have to be reasonably easy to care for. So definitely, size matters... and disease resistance. But this year, I am doing a trial purely for me and my own curiosity. I have been reading a number of articles over the last couple of years about

Top tips to protect your pet in the great outdoors (NC) The arrival of spring and summer means our pets will be spending more time exploring and playing outdoors. Long walks, frolics in the yard, and trips to the park are fun for dogs and owners alike, but do keep an eye on health risks, say advisers in this field. Pets Plus Us, a pet owner community and insurance provider, offers some guidance for the warmer months: • Provide your pet with ample water and food. • Don’t leave a dog or cat exposed to the hot sun for extended periods. Make sure they have ready access to shelter or shaded areas when outdoors, and bring them inside for breaks. • Never leave a pet in a parked car. The temperature inside can quickly rise. • Take your dog or cat to the veterinarian to ensure they have up-to-date vaccinations and preventative
medications to keep them healthy all year long. “In addition to heartworm disease, there are other serious and even more common health issues that pet owners need to be wary of, ,” says Dr. Chip Coombs, the chief veterinary officer at Pets Plus Us. “Be on the lookout for signs of intestinal parasites in your pet, like roundworms and hookworms, which not only make your dog ill, but can also cause problems in people who contract them. Now is a good time to visit the veterinarian to ensure your pet is protected.” Here are a few things to keep in mind to minimize the risks posed by parasites: • Regular deworming of any outdoor pet is the best solution to guard against these internal parasites. • Be attentive and watch for symptoms. Ticks and fleas are easier to spot than internal parasites. If your
dog has internal parasites, usually you will notice that they aren’t acting themselves. Symptoms vary, but your dog may be lethargic and lose its appetite. Other signs may include vomiting, diarrhea, and swelling or pain in the abdomen. • Provide your pet with healthy food and fresh water. A high-quality diet is key to their overall health. • Groom your dog regularly to maintain a healthy, clean coat and skin. • Take the time to discuss these and other pet health practices with your veterinarian. Finally, pet health insurance helps us look after our furry friends by covering the costs if they fall ill or have an accident requiring medical attention. It can even cover more routine items like exams and vaccinations.
LOOKING AFTER OUR FURRY FRIENDS can offer us a lot more than just peace-of-mind.

The Myth of a Free Kitten
Spring is the season of new beginnings. Birds are returning from their winter quarters, animals are coming out of hibernation and baby animals are born. Signs of “free kittens” are posted and the big eyes are tugging on heart strings. Often a spontaneous decision is regretted once reality sets in. They are not really free, as every young animal not only needs love, it needs proper care, medical attention and nutrition. A “free” kitten can initially cost more than $300, not including the purchase of a litter box, food, litter, scratch tree, bed and toys. It is important that kittens are vaccinated as it protects them from deadly diseases. The first vaccine has to be repeated four weeks after the initial shots to give the kitten full protection. In addition cats should be vaccinated against Feline Leukemia and Rabies, should they
be going outside. Parasite control, such as flea and worm treatment is essential in young animals and needs to be repeated to ensure the health of the kittens. Monthly flea treatment keeps the fleas away and the kittens happy. Kittens can die from flea anemia and if ingested, can get tapeworms. Veterinary clinics are the best places to purchase products to treat kittens for fleas
or worms. At a young age of 6 month a kitten can go into heat, which is not only annoying, but also means that in a short period, more kittens will need to find a home. It also can be difficult for a young cat to have kittens. Rescues and shelters adopt out kittens that are already vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms and include the spay or neuter fee. The adop-
tion fee is a fraction of the actual cost. Kitty Cat PALS has adoption sites at Bosley’s and Woofy’s in Comox and soon will have kittens available for adoptions. A Spring kitten is a lot of fun, but if it is not spayed or neutered will contribute to the cat overpopulation in the Valley. An alternative to adoption is foster care. Families may take care of kittens and cats until they are old enough to be adopted. Medical care, food and litter will be provided. The family can experience the joy of having a kitten without a long-term commitment. Sometimes it is a good solution to determine if the family is ready for a permanent furry family member.

Free clinic highlights National Paddle Week Paddle Canada, a nation-wide association, promotes paddling as our national heritage and June 11 will celebrate National Paddling Week. In the Comox Valley, the week will be hi-lighted by a free Paddling Rescue and Safety Clinic. The event, free to all paddlers, whether kayakers or canoeists, is taught by local Paddle Canada instructors and sponsored by Comox Valley Kayaks and Canoes. Paddle Canada provides paddle sports training and since last year has named a National Paddling Week to boost awareness of our national recreational paddling sports, safety measures, skill development and heritage. National Paddling
Week 2014, June 6-15, features many opportunities across the country to encourage everyone of all ages to get out on the water and paddle as a family, with a group or to meet a personal goal or join in a paddling event. The Valley’s event is to be a free Canoe/Kayak Rescue and Safety Clinic which will take place in Comox Harbour at Goose Spit Park on June 11, from 5:30-8:30. This clinic is the fifth annual clinic that local Paddle Canada instructors in conjunction with local shop Comox Valley Kayaks and Canoes has sponsored.

The Paddle Canada free clinic on June 11 is a bonus opportunity for responsible paddlers. Comox Valley Kayaks and Canoes shop will provide boats and wetsuits upon request. The three-hour clinic – open to all paddlers of human- powered craft – will feature both water and dry land sessions at Goose Spit Park in Comox. A snapshot of the day includes basic canoe and kayak rescue techniques such as wet exit, assisted and solo rescue, rafting up and retrieving a swamped kayak as well as basic towing and contact tows. There is something for everyone, whether you plan on getting wet or attending only the dry-land safety clinics. Dry land workshops may be available and may consist of the use of Canadian Coast Guard required safety equipment, clothing choices for paddling, recognizing and treating early stages of hypothermia and safe roof rack transportation of your canoe or kayak. The clinic takes place on the calm waters of the inside of the Spit. To register, or for more information, speak with any of the staff at Comox Valley Kayak Canoe at 334.2628.

TO THE JUDGEMENTAL woman,
A HUGE THANK you to everyone
knitting at a local yarn store this past weekend, I offer you a flower and a mirror. Your stage-voice whispered “Tsk! How could she do that to her body?” was mean, petty, and heard by the woman with the lovely tattoos who had just walked by you. It was kind of your co-knitter to reply that her own daughter was covered in this form of physical decoration, but your public criticism had already struck a nerve. I am that tattooed woman, and I ask: Who are you to judge and condemn another person’s physical appearance so openly and with such hostility? I’m a physically fit, intelligent, thoughtful and expressive person. You don’t know my story - what experiences and challenges my life has encompassed - or my reasons for choosing to embellish my body this way. Frankly, it’s not your business, and you’ve no cause for reproach. Now - Take this mirror, consider your own body. Question your own heart. Look to your own life choices and ask yourself: “How could I do that?” Accept this Flower You’re Forgiven.
TIRED OF THE Maple Pool legal fiasco? Of course you are. Everybody is. Think you’ll put things right by voting the rascals out in the next election? Don’t wait! Act now!

So far, it’s been a case of the tail wagging the dog.

CAN ANYONE IN the elected or
administrative area of Courtenay or
Comox explain why tennis players who play on a million-dollar facility, at least in Comox, do not have to pay to play, while pickle ball players who, when playing outdoors, pay $2 per person each time they play? I understand that when playing indoors there are administrative costs, but when the pickle ball players play outside the setup and take-down of the nets are done by the players themselves. The only time tennis players pay when they play is on Wednesdays in Comox, they have a drop-in that costs the tennis player $12 for the season, while pickle ball players pay $2 per day played. What a deal! All people who use the facilities should be treated the same.

Governance review task force collecting signatures Terry Farrell Record Staff
The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce announced a new initiative last week, in the hopes of acquiring an independent study to determine whether or not a change in the community’s governance is necessary. The Comox Valley Governance Review Task Force is collecting signatures to show the provincial government that there is a desire among its residents – and levels of government – for such a study. “Everybody seems to have opinions, and make a lot of assumptions, but they aren’t really based on any facts,” said task force chair Joe Smith. “What the government has provided is what they call a governance review. They provide a manual that takes you through the whole process.” Does the Comox Valley need separate fire departments, or could it be better served by a single department, with satellite stations, as is the format for many large cities? Do separate recreation departments serve a purpose, or would it be feasible to have one governing body? “Why do we have four recreation departments?” asked Smith. “Everyone shares the same facilities, so why do we need four governing bodies for these facilities?” These are some of the queries that such a study would address, as well as other contentious issues, such as amalgamation. The review would
Alberni Project hosts auction
The Alberni Project Museum in the Comox Centre Mall will host a benefit auction of militaria Saturday (June 7) at 1 p.m. in unit 199 at the mall. Auctioneer Dave Stevens will conduct the auction of over 400 lots of various military and historical items from the collection of the late Kevin Cosby. Pre-auction viewing will take place Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Part of the proceeds will help benefit The Alberni Project Museum. For more information call Penny at 250-218-3013.
Petition asks for independent study regarding political direction of the Comox Valley be conducted by a nonpartisan party. “We want to see the Comox Valley flourish and prosper, but we want to do it in a way that makes sense,” said Smith. “So we are encouraging anyone who is passionate about the Comox Val-
ley to get involved. “This is your opportunity to get involved, to get the answers, to find out whether we have the right form of government now, or whether we need a change.” In order to qualify for a review, the dis-
trict must collect signatures amounting to 10 per cent of the electoral population (roughly 5,000). That’s where the task force comes in. Whether a lifetime resident, or a first-year Islander, anyone interested in joining the task force and helping get the word out and getting signatures on the petition is welcome. The petition can be signed at the Cham-

Travel site recognizes Two Eagles’ hospitality Two Eagles Lodge has received the 2014 TripAdvisor certificate of excellence award. The accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor. When selecting winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm that takes into account review ratings.
Businesses must maintain an overall rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business’ tenure and popularity ranking on the site. Two Eagles has maintained a five-star ranking since opening in 2007. “TripAdvisor is pleased to honour exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence,” said
Marc Charron, president of TripAdvisor for Business. “The award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great customer experience.”

Students join the dispute
o now the school labour dispute has reached the students. Of course, they were affected before, but now a portion of them are seeing fit to become actively involved in the issue by staging a walkout of their own. While we applaud young people taking an interest in the world, it’s hard to judge what impact this will have on the dispute. Actually, it will have no impact on the dispute, the effect will be on the students who will be forced to take a stand on an issue in which they are the innocent third party. The dispute has been likened to a family going through a divorce. The parents in this case have been feuding for years. In fact, have they ever gotten along? This couple has been through mediation numerous times and still they end up throwing dishes at each other. Students are conflicted about whether they should participate in the protest. Opinions run the whole gamut from “waste of time” to “take a stand.” Teachers might be wishing they could be treated like any other unionized worker in conflict with their employer, but they can’t. The government, meanwhile, wants the teachers and the public to roll over to their own – usually politicized – priorities when it comes to managing education. The students truly are caught in the middle and now some of them are trying to exert some pressure of their own in order to expedite a settlement. It’s the graduating students that have the most to lose here. Actions at this time of the school year and their school careers, have a dramatic impact on students’ futures. That they are angry at being shoved aside is justified. So, they take up picket signs and stage walkouts. It will not lead to a settlement but it is certainly worthwhile reminding both sides of the dispute who has the most to lose.

Recent column sparks response from readers
M
y recent column on the proposal to add a mandatory high school course on the POLITICS effects of Canada’s aboriginal residential school policy attracted a range of OM responses – some of which are printable. LETCHER I referred to comments made by B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman at a 2012 aboriginal education conference, where he insisted that “racism is the norm in public schools – still today” because of a colonial perspective that remains ingrained in our culture. Aboriginal education has been built into social studies curriculum for years. It’s come a long way from my high school days, where Mr. Spillers, my Grade 8 English teacher, assigned us an essay proposing solutions to Canada’s “Indian problem.” That was 1972, and it was the only time the subject came up. My lone aboriginal classmate wasn’t around by then. I never saw him again after we graduated from our rural elementary school. How are things now? I received a thoughtful letter from a young woman who graduated from high school in the Okanagan last year. She writes: “The idea that information about residential schools is not presented to students is entirely incorrect. The social studies curriculum that I went through
F
T
included a large emphasis on First Nations culture and postEuropean colonization history. “First Nations studies began in elementary school and continued to the last mandatory social studies course in Grade 11. I can say with no hesitation that if anything, I have been informed too often about the residential schools, and the horrendous things that occurred there. “If aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, I would be inclined to suggest that it is because students are tired of being taught the same limited perspective over and over, and, if of European descent, being made to feel somehow responsible for all possible troubles plaguing First Nations today.” Another reply I’d like to share is from Keith Thor Carlson, editor of the Stó:lo Nation historical atlas I referred to last week. Carlson is now a history professor at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the Salish people of B.C. and the Métis of Northern Saskatchewan. He writes: “We do need to teach the history of the First Peoples of this country in our schools, and we do need to keep vigilant about the racism that continues to haunt the hallways and classrooms where our children learn. “Of course aboriginal history should never be reduced to vic-
tim history, and with the Stó:lo atlas we sought to show the complexity of aboriginal history, and we sought to show that not only are there aboriginal people in Canada’s history, but that Canada is in aboriginal peoples’ histories. “There were times in the past when aboriginal people were victimized (residential schools being a tragic example), and there were times when aboriginal people showed great agency (retaining the masked dance, and continuing to fish salmon, for example). “Knowing that native society was not a Utopia when Europeans arrived does not take away from the importance of learning about the full history of aboriginal people and their relationship with Canadian society. “And of course, as Ernie Crey has reminded me many times, let’s never forget that native rights are not based on race. Rather, they are rights based on prior occupation. And let’s also not forget that it is British and Canadian law that recognizes aboriginal peoples’ inherent rights. “Let’s teach good history to our youth so they can understand the complex relationship between settler society and aboriginal society. Through knowledge comes understanding and through understanding can come reconciliation.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

School trustees are a bargain to taxpayers Dear editor, Your editorial calling for the elimination of local school boards (Abolish local school boards, May 29) was long on opinion, but short on facts. The main rationale seemed to involve cost savings. But you are completely wrong on that point: when boards are dismissed and replaced by public administrators, costs go up. The administrator’s salary and expenses can easily amount to twice what all the trustees together were paid in honoraria and expenses. There aren’t many bargains in the public sector these days, but school trustees are certainly a great deal for the taxpayer. It is true, of course, that the powers of school boards have been diminished by the centralization of tax collection, and of budget allocations. But there are

very significant variations between districts in the use of revenues from the province, in the development of local programs and opportunities, in teacher development, and in student attainment beyond the narrowly academic. Districts vary a great deal. Our district has been extraordinarily successful: In the last few weeks alone, students from the Comox Valley have represented Canada in a Destination Imagination contest in China, won a third place in a World Championship in robotics, won a provincial rugby champion-
ship for girls, and won a gold medal in choral singing in a nation-wide contest. We operate one of the most successful International Student programs in the province, and one of the best Distance Learning centres. Our teachers and administrators are very active in provincial curriculum building. Yet we are a very small district, far from urban opportunities, and not very rich, at least financially. No sensible person would claim that school trustees are responsible for these successes: students, parents, teachers and administrators must
take the credit for them. But the school board does establish local priorities and emphases, help to build and sustain a culture of success in academic, artistic, and athletic efforts, and ensure that our schools build on local interest in music and fine arts. Communities differ in needs and preferences; their schools should reflect these differences. Locally elected school boards were invented by our great, great grandfathers and mothers to ensure that they did. School boards are still doing that work, every day, all across British Columbia. Our B.C. schools, by international standards, rank amongst the best in the world. Our trustees contribute to that success. Peter Coleman, chair Board of School Trustees, SD 71 (Comox Valley)
Plenty of shopping options other than Value Village in our community Dear editor, Thank you for your article regarding the working conditions at Value Village. It is important to note Value Village is a corporation. They are not out to do “good works”, beyond increasing their profit margin. They frequently do that at the expense of the people working there. The wages are nothing to write home about, if they could afford the postage. Given four people
quit due to the alleged harassment, there most likely is something wrong. It is not the first time an employer has used their “rules” to harass employees, nor will it be the last. This is why some employers simply cannot “keep” staff and resort to temporary foreign workers. Yes, without the current moratorium, Value Village could simply have requested to bring in TFWers.

There from the very beginning
The Community Foundation has been associated with Swift Datoo, one of the Valley’s oldest law firms, ever since it was first proposed by Stan Hagen, who served for many years in the BC Legislature representing the Valley. In fact Richard Swift was listed as one of the six applicants who filed for incorporation and Azim Datoo took on the challenge of putting the structure of the organization to paper. “Our objective in 1996,” said Richard Swift, “was to create a source of funds to assist with the ever changing social needs of our community. We wanted to do so in a manner that would be inclusive and recognize the diversity of the many organizations that provide vital services in response to those needs.” Over the years the basic goal as envisioned by the founders has not changed. The Foundation still focuses on making the Comox Valley a better place to live; culturally, educationally and environmentally. “The Foundation provides a way for anyone who wants to make the Valley a better place to live for all,” said Swift. “Not just for now but to ensure their financial support continues to provide a source of funding long into the future.” Estate planning lawyers at Swift Datoo take this to heart and, when appropriate, review with clients the Foundation’s potential as a vehicle for establishing a charitable legacy. Swift Datoo has even established its own endowment fund that is administered through the Foundation as part of its corporate philanthropy program. In addition, the firm is one of the sponsors of the annual gala which raises funds to offset the administration costs of the Foundation. “Our firm was there at the beginning and we have been involved ever since,” said Swift, one of two members of the firm who have acted as President. “Like other professionals in the Valley, we have always donated back our fees incurred by the Foundation. We believe in the Foundation and encourage other businesses to take an active role in supporting its efforts.” To find out more about the Foundation, how it works, who it has helped over the years and how you can help enrich the quality of life in the Comox Valley, visit the Foundation’s website.

COURTENAY, B.C.
Arrowsmith Big band honours Bush at Little Red Church This Sunday evening at The Little Red Church, the Beltone Jazz Series is thrilled to host a very special evening of music composed by Greg Bush, performed by the high-powered Arrowsmith Big Band. Bush is a talented jazz musician, known around the valley as the music director and conductor of the Georgia Strait Big Band. The music from the concert will be drawn from two suites of music written for a jazz orchestra: The Vancouver Island Suite and A Portrait of Five Jazz Masters. The Vancouver Island Suite is influenced by the folk melodies and rhythms of the indigenous people and early settlers of Vancouver Island. References to the folk melodies and rhythms of First Nations, Italian, Spanish and Asiatic people are cleverly arranged and presented in a jazz style that is uniquely Canadian. A Portrait of Five Jazz Masters pays tribute to five very important jazz musicians who have inspired and influenced Greg throughout his musical
career. Showcasing the amazing talent of the members of the Arrowsmith Big Band, this special Sunday performance will be the world premiere of some brand new music. “I am honoured to have the support of my friends and colleagues in the Arrowsmith Big Band for this special performance of my music,” said Bush. “ It’s also a privilege to premiere it in a community that has become my second home.” “The Arrowsmith Big Band is home to many of Vancouver Island’s finest jazz musicians,” said event organizer Rob Peterson. “With members from Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Qualicum Beach and the Comox Valley, the band is well received at all its performances.” The Beltone Jazz Series is a family friendly venue, located at The Little Red Church hall in Comox. Tea, coffee, soft beverages, and goodies will be available by donation with the proceeds going to the Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society.
JAZZ MUSICIAN Greg Bush’s music will be performed by the Arrowsmith Big band
The Beltone Jazz Series is presented with the generous support of Jeff and Sharon Germain, owners of Beltone Hearing Care Centres. Advance tickets are $10 and available at Bop City in Courtenay and The Red Carpet Boutique in Comox. Doors open at 7 and performance begins at 7:30.

Singer-songwriter Caspi opens West Coast tour in Cumberland tonight
SHAWNA CASPI RONI HOFFMAN PHOTO
Toronto singer-songwriter Shawna Caspi is heading west this month for her first tour of British Columbia – and she’s starting it right here. After touring regularly in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, she is delighted to kick off this B.C. tour with a concert at StudioLive! in Cumberland, tonight. Caspi will be performing on Vancouver Island and the mainland on this tour, before heading back to Ontario by way of VIA Rail’s On Board Entertainment Program, where she will be playing music for passengers on the long haul train between
In true folk music tradition, she gathers, writes, and tells stories with ease and authenticity. x Vancouver and Toronto. Caspi’s third full-length album is slated for release this summer and she will be bringing all those new songs along with her on this tour. Caspi’s impressive finger-style guitar technique stands out as more than just mere accompaniment. In true folk music tradition, she
gathers, writes, and tells stories with ease and authenticity. Inspired by artists like Jon Brooks, Craig Cardiff, Rose Cousins, James Keelaghan, Dave Gunning, and Suzie Vinnick, Caspi can command any stage and connect with an audience with just her voice, her guitar, and a good story. Caspi grew up in the folk clubs of Ottawa, a classicallytrained singer and guitarist drawn to the music and songwriting of legendary local performers like Lynn Miles and Ian Tamblyn. At York University in Toronto, she favoured flamenco guitar
lessons and new music studies, always returning to her folk roots as a singer-songwriter. Although she is based in Toronto, Caspi is most at home on the road and loves the long drives that define touring in Canada. Those are the landscapes and people that may their way into her songs. Most recently, that lush scenery has also been the subject of a series of original paintings, artwork that has become a regular part of the goods on Caspi’s merchandise table. Tickets for the all-ages show are $15. Caspi takes the stage at 7:30 p.m.

JUNE 18 Comox valley playwright Lori Mazey wrote and directed Torn Rainbow. Photo Submitted
Torn Rainbow award-winning play
Torn Rainbow, the play written and directed by Lori Mazey of Vanier’s Theatre Department, won several awards at the recent North Island Drama Festival. The play was up against several excellent productions including CLT’s On Golden Pond, Nanaimo’s God of Carnage, Port Alberni’s Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, and Qualicum’s Mrs. Reynolds and the Ruffian. Torn Rainbow won Best Ensemble and Best Backstage Coordination. And Robbie Granados was given Best Emerging Artist, while Lori Mazey was awarded the Matthew Shepard “Change the World” award. The play has been in development
since 2011 and was commissioned by the Community Justice Centre as part of its program to combat racism, homophobia and hate crime. It is based upon interviews with Comox Valley high school students on their experience of homophobia and bullying in school. The interview transcripts became the play’s dialogue, built around the story of the suicide of Jamie Hubley, who died in October, 2011, during the writing of the play. The play’s cast has now completed its work and gone on to other things, but the play will live on through licensed productions in cities and towns across the country through the ongoing promotion of piece by the Community Justice Centre.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Thursday, June 5, 2014
Deja Blue makes rare Canadian performance Everyone who regularly attends Thursday Night Jazz at the Avalance Bar knows Bill Street. Aside from his charming and humourous repartee as an occasional emcee, his rotund physique is unmistakable. Although Street plays drums with one of the local big bands, tucked away at the back, what many of those people don’t know is that Street is a wonderful drummer in his own right. He’s had a lifelong love affair with jazz music, dating back to the 1950s and Ronny Scott’s Club in Soho. His most recent commitment to jazz has been his dedicated service to Georgia Straight Jazz Society as the Board member responsible for booking Thursday Night Jazz performers. While no one was looking, Street slipped his own combo, Deja Blue, into this Thursday’s slot. Some might consider this a conflict of interest, but Street shared his story about how Deja Blue came about. “In 2006 I travelled by road to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico replete with drum kit. Having established a few musical contacts in that city I met with the operator of a seaside bar called the Blue Martini. Guitar player Mo Davenport from Quadra Island was also along for the ride and together we met at the bar to discuss possibilities of playing there. “All we needed was a good bass player. Incredibly, a young American walked into the bar, said he was a bass player and Bingo! A new band was formed. We presented ourselves to the operator as an established combo. “He asked the name of the band, and ‘Deja Blue’ just flashed through my brain! Neither of the other musicians showed any surprise when I uttered the name, so it stuck.” Deja Blue played at the Blue Martini two more seasons, five nights a week, and became well known in that sunny Mexican city. “Four years later the same musicians weren’t available, so I asked bassist Don McKay, and pianist and vocalist Ralph Barrat if they fancied a
trip to Mexico? They said yes, and Deja Blue was reborn.” Deja Blue will make a rare Canadian appearance, tonight at the Avalance. Bebop Jazz will be mixed with some old favourite tunes with Ralph, Don, and special guest guitarist Grant McClellan.
Showtime is 7:30 p,m. Arrive early if you want to come for Jazz Night Special a la carte Greek dinner offered exclusively at the club, and get the best seats in the house. Also, serious jazz aficionados, mark your calendars for next week’s season closer: Jennifer Scott and Rene Worst.

Documentary features recovery centre Vancouver Island Chronicles is a documentary series which profiles people on Vancouver Island working to make a positive difference in their communities. The stories are as diverse as the people who live here: from Vancouver Island Music Fest, to the groundbreaking Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snows-
ports on Mount Washington – one of the first programs in Canada and the largest program of its kind in the country and it is totally run by volunteers. The feature series on CHEK TV continues this weekend, with a look at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre – one of the first wildlife recovery centres in
Canada. Robin and Sylvia Campbell have been working with injured and abandoned wildlife since the ’80s. They have saved thousands of eagles, bears, owls and anything else that landed on their doorstep, sometimes writing the book. Today the centre has a state of the art operat-
ing room, a bear cub rehab facility (the first in Canada) and the largest eagle flight cage in North America. It’s a great Vancouver Island story that would not have been possible without the support of the community. The program is on CHEK TV Sunday at 4 p.m. — Vancouver Island Chronicles

Smart cyclists ride on the right side A
s humans, we Behind the Wheel are predominantly right handed. In North im America we drive on the right side, tend to chewe walk on the right side and I suspect that this right side bias carries over into many other areas that we are not even aware of. I learned as a young police officer that if I was attempting to catch a driver that I had lost sight of I would be more successful if I turned right instead of left at the next intersection. A smart cyclist will take advantage of this situation by always riding on the right hand side. A very high percentage of cycle crashes involve turning and crossing in traffic at intersections. These are often busy places where drivers are trying to track many moving objects at once and determine a safe path for their intended direction of travel. Cyclists tend to be a smaller target that other vehicles in traffic and tend to be ignored. If you are riding on the wrong side drivers are not looking for you there and this compounds the risk further. Wrong way riders can have up to four times the collision risk than those who ride properly on the right. Riding on the sidewalk is also not safer than riding on the roadway. Drivers are watching for pedestrians on sidewalks, not fast moving bicycles. You can increase your risk by two to nine times if you ride on the sidewalk. There is also a significant risk of colliding with pedestrians. Ride in a straight line and choose your lane position wisely. If you are travelling at the speed of surrounding traffic ride in the lane itself. If you are slower, ride on the right side but do not hug the curb. Drivers will try to take advantage of the room to squeeze by if you don’t take control of the situation by riding in the lane where there is no paved shoulder. Finally, be courteous. Like slow drivers, give others the chance to pass.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Towhees 9th at Provincials Earle Couper Record Staff
The G.P. Vanier Towhees nailed down a ninth-place finish at the B.C. Secondary School Rugby Union AAA boys provincial championships. “We played a combined team from the Fraser Valley of players who did not have their team qualify for the Provincials, as Kelowna left the tournament early,” said Vanier coach Ken Erickson. The #7 seed Towhees won 54-15 Saturday afternoon in Abbotsford to finish the tourney with a 3-1 record. Trevor Caton and Foster Dewitt were named to the Commissioner’s XV. Ninth was the best the Towhees could finish after a 36-12 loss to #10 Carson Graham in the first round on May 24 dropped them into the consolation side of the 16-team tourney. When play resumed May 28 in Abbotsford, the revitalized Towhees defeated #15 Semiahmoo 16-8 and knocked off #11 Handsworth 33-14 to advance to the game to decide 9th and 10th place. In the final, #2 St. George’s edged #1 Shawingan Lake 15-12. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Fond farewell to volunteer Special Olympics will miss Rob Smith, a big part of group for past 18 years
Comox Valley Special Olympics is losing one amazing volunteer. For 18 years, Rob Smith has coached Special Olympics bowling Saturdays mornings. He has travelled with the athletes to many out-of-town tournaments and slept on floors for four days with 10 other people to coach at the Provincial Games. On top of that, he DJs the Special O dances and has been our head cook at the year-end barbecues. As wonderful, kind, compassionate, involved and friendly Rob is – with always a kind word – he has something of a

Grill’s Mr. Potatohead, a favourite in their children’s area, shocked the community. Not long after his disappearance, Mr. Potatohead reappeared with a digital picture frame and a sign reading “The Half-baked Adventures of Mr. Potatohead.” Some of the pictures were of the potato man on an airplane, in the Grand Canyon and on the dashboard of a helicopter. Rob was caught red-handed when he went back to collect his picture frame. Rob brought that same great sense of humour to his volunteer work with Special Olympics. He treated the athletes with great kindness and respect and was well-loved in return. He has enriched many lives and strengthened our community. Thanks, Rob, you will be greatly missed. – Comox Valley Special Olympics

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Thursday, June 5, 2014
Volleyball camp set to go in July The Comox Valley Volleyball Camp is returning this summer to once again provide athletes with an excellent opportunity to play this awesome sport. The annual camp will be held July 7-10 at the G.P. Vanier Secondary School gymnasium. “It is really exciting to offer this well-established camp for the 11th year in a row. It is one of the longest
running volleyball camps on the Island,” stated camp coordinator Brian Stevens. There are two sessions available to accommodate a wide range of ages and skill levels. The Youth Session, for boys and girls ages 11-14, will run from 1 to 4 p.m. The Elite Session, for boys and girls ages 15-17, will run from 5 to 8 p.m. Both sessions will focus on
technical skill development, game play knowledge, tons of touches with the ball, and of course fun. The Elite session will also have a strong focus on position specific and game strategy components. The camp is $120 which includes a T-shirt. There are 40 spots available in each session and both sessions are already filling up. You can register your son/daughter

The Reds’ bats jumped all over the Rockies’ pitching early, led by Chris Mckague (3-3, 1BB, 4 runs scored) and Dallas McDonald (4-4, 4 RBIs). The Reds’ pitching staff (Adam Berkenstock (W, 3 IP), Jake Dojack (2 IP) and Bob Atwood (2 IP) held off a late rally to preserve a 10-6 win. In the second game the defend-
ing league champion Daryl Robbins C.G.A Athletics edged the Campbell River Blue Jays 5-4. Josh Chapman (2-4, 2 runs scored) led the way for the As at the plate. The As’ strong pitching staff (Josh Chapman, Andy Stewart, Joe Robbins and Jay Dzuba) kept the Blue Jays’ bats quiet until Ferris Sterling’s squeeze bunt scored the winning run in the top of the seventh inning.

How far would you travel for a home cooked meal? Munich, Germany – There’s no shortage of places to chow down here in Bavaria but that’s not really what I had in mind. Sometimes you just by Alexandra Straub hanker for some good ol’ fashioned home cooking and the desire makes distance no object. According to Google Maps, the drive to some tasty yet simple food fare will take approximately six hours and five minutes, and is about 684 kilometres. One way. That’s not including the approximately 8,300 kms travelled to get to Munich, Germany. The destination: Budapest, Hungary, where I’ll have one night to spend with my grandparents – grandma Ilona and grandpa Pál Lencsés. I’ve got the use of a bright red 2015 Audi A3 and a full tank of gas, so why not? Considering I’ll be there less than 24 hours, words like “ambitious” or “motivated” or even “crazy” might describe my reasoning. But heck, if it means I get a home cooked meal, I’d travel all night. Relatively speaking, I’m so close to them. I couldn’t let the opportunity go to waste. And anyone who loves their grandparents’ cooking will sympathize.

The shell of the Mustang fitting process will involve two or three people to make sure that the paint does not get chipped or damaged. Before the original V-8 engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete re-build was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built as has the rear axle. Rick talked Laura out of
fitting a modern rack and pinion power steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a power-assisted unit so it will be reliving the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds! One safety upgrade is the installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic. Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious, invariably when accidents occur it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off. 360 has done their research
and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust system with two tailpipes. Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is? How rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car car will be attending in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang.

The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear coated, wet-sanded, recleared and finally polished to a show-quality finish. Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassembly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new parts. This is as close as you can get to being a car factory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and not having to work to the speed of a moving production line. One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the driveline and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible and a bit like a modern car. The foil covered pads have a peel off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal panel such as the roof, floor, doors and bulkhead. The next step is to install the new wiring harness; old wiring harnesses become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British sports car from that era! The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom starting with the headliner, trim panels, carpets, dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered. Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass panels have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed. Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days but 360 has the skills to do this in-house. LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” asserted Rick Francoeur at 360. The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting. They have been fitted and removed during the restoration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct. The final

The Vancouver Island Spine Trail Association (VISTA) held their inaugural conference Saturday, May 31 at the Kingfisher Oceanside Resort. The event brought together stakeholders, trail users and others interested in building momentum toward the completion of a 700km tip-to-tip wilderness trail from Victoria to Cape Scott. On Sunday, June 1 approximately 200 took part in Trails Day Out, exploring the proposed spine trail route above Cumberland with hiking, mountain biking and running. VISTA past-president Gil Parker and Cumberland Coun. Gwyn Sproule were among the speakers to address the participants prior to the start of the three events. Friends and family accompanying the participants had time to enjoy the village while the events were in progress. The hike was led by Terry Lewis of the River Rats, who have built many of the best trails in Cumberland. The mountain bike ride was hosted by Martin Ready of Island Mountain Rides while the Comox Valley Road Runners sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com organized the run.

Life can get busy at times W
riting an outdoor column on a regular basis can be more than a little hectic at times. Last year at this time was a classic case. On May 30 it looked like there was a lull in the stormy weather so I decided to see what was happening at Spider Lake. I anchored in one of my favourite locations and proceeded to test a new fly pattern under the watchful eye of the eagle. Throughout the day I caught and released several nice trout. May 31 was a hectic day. Went to the Fish and Game Club with Elaine’s baking for the bake sale. Talked to a volunteer who was helping her children get ready for the show. The lady was 102 years old, had been volunteering all her life, and was helping her aging children. Volunteering is a lifelong career for many active people. June 1 was the opening day of the CDFGPA Outdoor Show. The weather was cloudy, threatening rain and cool – not good show weather. I was with several members of the Comox Valley Fly Fishers in the main room of the clubhouse. The inclement weather outside was a factor in a steady stream of visitors to our booth, where we gave the children Tom Thumb flies and entered their name into a free draw for a box of flies. Attendance was down, but in spite of the bad weather there was still a respectable showing of attendees. June 2 was day two of the Outdoor Show. A group of us met at 8 a.m. for the excellent pancake breakfast that the club serves. The early morning breakfast allowed us to get a good start on our flytying duties before the crowds arrived. It was a glorious

day and the turnout to the show was overwhelming. The crowd reflected the weather – everybody we talked to was happy and positive. There were lineups for virtually all of the many attractions. The latest attendance figure I heard was in excess of 3,600. Possibly the backdrop of the Comox Glacier and the beautiful clubhouse grounds contributed to positive connections with nature for many of the folks who attended the show. This column expresses a deep and sincere “Thank You” to the volunteers that made the show such a success. This year’s Outdoor Show goes this weekend (June 7-8) at the fish and game club. Be sure to drop by and enjoy the many activities. Ralph Shaw is a master fly fisherman who was awarded the Order of Canada in 1984 for his conservation efforts. In 20 years of writing a column in the Comox Valley Record it has won several awards.

Allan Erle Kilpatrick, Lt. Col. (retâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d), A.C.I.S.
June 17, 1931 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 28, 2014 We sadly announce the passing of Allan Kilpatrick. Allan was born and grew up in Smithers, B.C. and was a long time resident of Comox, B.C. Allan is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Elvina (nee Watson, formerly of Cumberland, B.C.). He leaves behind his four children, Michael (Debbie), Christine (Gordon) Karlsen, Ian (Sylvia Gibbons) and Erin (Joseph Henton), as well as his four grandchildren, Sean and Allan Kilpatrick; Laurel and Peter Karlsen, and great grandchildren Lincoln and Clara Kilpatrick. Survived by his sister and brother-in-law Jean and Ed Maskiewich, and sister-in-law Donna Watson as well as several nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by brothers Norman and Bill. Allan had a distinguished career as a navigator in the RCAF, serving in Comox, Winnipeg, Man., Summerside, PEI, St. Mawgan, Cornwall, England, Kinloss, Scotland, Toronto, Ont., Greenwood, N.S, and Ottawa, Ont., ending his 29 year Air Force career as Base Administration Officer in Comox in 1980. Allan was the Administrator-Secretary Treasurer of the Regional District of Alberni-Clayoquot, from 1980 until retiring to Comox in 1990.

Round two leaders Rob Borland and Steve Peters were second at 213 followed by last year’s winners, the father and son team of Mike and Terran Berger, at 216. Chuck Brown and James Dickson as well as Jeff Edwards and Shane Robinson rounded out the top five with 219. On the net side winning a count-back was Nick Mykitiuk and Rudge Wilson at 182. Second place went to Greg Conway and Wayne Mabee also at 182. Third place winning a count-back was Len Doyle and Gary Wood at 184. Also at 184 was Bob Henn and Glenn Horsepool.
Four teams were tied for fifth with 185. They were John Keats and Dick Stuart, John Holley and Rod Verchere, Ross Dowe and Lyle Torrie and Bud Bryan and John Pringle.

SPEC-TACULAR SATURDAY JUNE 7 sensei mac newton with students (left to right) Aryo Behzad, Arlo Richardson and Tristan Stushinoff sporting their medals.
Karate kids debut Nine Toshikan Martial Arts students aged seven to 10 participated in the Saltspring Karate Invitational tournament on Saturday, May 24, and had very successful results. In attendance were 120 participants from 12 karate schools from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. For all of the Courtenay students – Van Cudmore, Aria Orr, Aryo Behzad, Ben Howlett, Peyton Bauders, Saphira Evers-Jamieson, Tristan Stushinoff, Arlo Richardson and Owen Valmorbida – this was their first tournament experience. “It was very positive,” said
Toshikan sensei Mac Newton. “They came home with a total of 12, first to third place medals between them, for kata and sparring, but most importantly, they all exhibited true karate spirit and respect, and they had fun,” Newton said. “Although it was a regional tournament, the quality of martial artists was high, and many of the Toshikan students were competing against participants who were a year older and higher belt level, so I am very proud of how they represented themselves and our dojo,” Newton said. – Toshikan Martial Arts
