Teachers choose to escalate strike action Lack of strike fund not a deterrent Jeff Nagel BC Local News

B.C. teachers have voted in favour of a full walkout to put maximum pressure on the provincial government, but it’s unclear how quickly their union may issue 72-hour strike notice.

The result of the vote, conducted Monday and Tuesday, was 86 per cent in favour, or 28,809 out of 33,387 ballots cast. B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker called it a “very strong message” to the province. “So far this government has come to the table empty-handed, it’s time to change that,” Iker said. He said while teachers are prepared to go to a full-scale strike

that’s “a decision we never take lightly” and would depend on how talks proceed with the provincial government. “You’ve got to remain hopeful that government has learned from the past mistakes they’ve made,” Iker said, who referred to the union’s legal battle with the province over class size and composition and “the government’s chaotic lockout.” The earliest a full-scale strike

could begin is Monday. The lack of $50-a-day strike pay – the BCTF’s strike fund was expected to be exhausted at the end of this week – was apparently a non-issue for most teachers. The Labour Relations Board was expected to hear arguments Wednesday on the province’s application to declare exams and final grades an essential service in the event of a full strike. The province has also pledged

to end its partial lockout of teachers at the end of the school year to enable summer school operations. The government has saved $12 million each week in salaries during the teachers’ current but limited job action, plus nearly $5 million more by chopping wages. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the result was not unexpected.

Firehall gets green light

SUNSET STRIP

2017 targeted as opening date for new satellite station Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Courtenay council unanimously agreed that the east side of the city needs a new training ground for volunteer firefighters at a satellite firehall. Council approved Monday the use of surplus funding to construct the training grounds, expected to be ready for service early next year. The new hall is expected to be up and running in 2017, in conjunction with the new regional hospital. The firehall/training centre will be located at 220 Waters Place off Veteran’s Memorial Parkway behind the BC Hydro substation. Phase 1 of the project is estimated to cost about $1.5 million for site preparation and $966,000 to construct the training grounds.

Interest in Lantzville independent school Quote of on the rise among Comox Valley parents the Day Renee Andor Record Staff

An independent school near Nanaimo has recently been receiving more calls from Comox Valley parents interested in independent schooling for their children. According to Aspengrove School’s assistant head David Hutchinson, the number of queries the school has received of late prompted staff to consider implementing bus service from the Comox Valley to the Lantzville school. The school will hold an information session at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 17 at the Old House Village Hotel in Courtenay. “It’s essentially because we started to receive phone calls from families just wondering if we offer bus service because they would like to consider an independent school for their families,” says Hutchinson, noting he had about six calls over a few weeks, which is significant as the school is located out of town. “For that many people to reach out and see if there’s a way to make it work suggests there’s a definite demand.” He adds Aspengrove is one of only about 10 schools in Canada authorized to teach the International Baccalaureate Programme from kindergarten to Grade 12. “There’s several schools that have IB at various levels but there’s a small number of us that are able to do it all the way through,” he explains. If about five families choose to send their children to Aspengrove and would like bus service, Hutchinson says it would be feasible to start it up in September. The service would likely pick students up from a central area in the Comox Valley and drop them off at the same spot, he adds. “We actually had an inquiry … from a family who said they’d be willing to drive their children from Campbell River down to meet our bus in Courtenay,” he adds. “I think everybody has their own personal reasons for looking for different options in education and it really is a wide range with families.”

Aspengrove can offer financial assistance to families seeking help with tuition costs. Hutchinson asks that those planning to attend the information session visit Aspengrove School’s website (www.aspengroveschool.ca) to pre-register. The information session is free and some Aspengrove administrators, teachers and students will be present.

Alberni Project reaching out to the next generation Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Lewis Bartholomew knows the value of a story. Bartholomew is the project director for The Alberni Project, an ever-changing education collection of stories, letters, photos and memorabilia dedicated to the men of the HMCS Alberni. The permanent display, situated at the south end of the Comox Centre Mall, is celebrating the Year of The Veteran (2014) with two temporary displays, which Bartholomew said allows people to see a different side of the military: Creature Comforts and One War: Two Victories. “I want to keep the story alive. The next generation is truly the first generation without a connec-

tion to World War Two; I would like them to understand what was going on,” he explained. Running until the end of this week as a joint exhibit with the Esquimalt Naval and Military Museum, Creature Comforts celebrates the various animals who served in Canada’s Navy. The second exhibit, which runs from June 17 to July 19, looks at honouring the Chinese Canadian veterans of the Second World War. “I would like to make people aware of the different Canadians who are veterans,” Bartholomew said. “It shows the stories of resistance and discrimination they faced from the government, and shows their inclusion in the armed forces, but also it shows their loyalty to Canada.”

He added the display shows individual stories of people, many of which are from B.C. An official opening for the exhibit is scheduled for June 16 at 1 p.m. at the blue arch entrance of the mall. Bartholomew said veterans, along with local government officials will be in attendance. In addition to a special Remembrance Day display in the fall and a haunted museum in October, TAP will host a display dedicated to the air force in conjunction with Nautical Days in August and one for the 25th anniversary of the RCMP international peace mission.

Local chef inducted into prestigious professional women’s society Group recognizes achievements of women in the culinary profession Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Lesley Stav, president of the North Vancouver Island Chefs Association, has been inducted into the B.C. chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier — a society of professional woman that promotes food, wine, hospitality, nutrition and other such fields. Stav, a Royston resident, specializes in desserts and chocolate, but like most Red Seal chefs, she is adept at most areas in the kitchen. “It is truly an honour to be inducted into such a prestigious group of women,” Stav said. “With less than 70 members throughout B.C. — eight of those on Vancouver Island — it is worth noting

“While the BCTF leadership received the mandate they sought, no one should interpret this as any kind of enthusiasm on the part of teachers to shut down schools,” he said. He said teachers, parents and students would all rather finish the school year on a positive note, adding it took just five days of hard bargaining to secure a new contract for school support staff. “The BCTF leadership needs to come to the table with realistic expectations and a willingness to engage in meaningful bargaining,” Fassbender said. “Teachers deserve a raise but their total compensation demands are about four times more than other recent settlements.”

life has altered since returning to Vancouver Island eight years ago. It has gradually shifted from working the line to mentoring, guiding and advocating for the culinary industry. She has spearheaded presentations to students, and advocated local food connections and culinary tourism. As association president, Stav has participated and judged at various regional and provincial events. She was among seven inductees at a dinner June 2 in Vancouver. “She will be a great addition to Les Dames,” said Gaetane Palardy, who was recognized for 15 years of Les Dames d’Escoffier membership. The chef/educator is the owner of Island Gourmet Trails, a local culinary tours business. Les Dames d’Escoffier International supports and promotes achievements of women in culinary professions, and fosters excellence through educational and charitable activities.

A Black Creek man with no prior criminal record has received a 2.5-year jail sentence for drug trafficking. Tony Levasseur, 33, was sentenced last Friday in B.C. Supreme Court in Courtenay for his role in a mid-level drug trafficking operation. “I accept that Mr. Levasseur is sincerely remorseful and will unlikely ... come before the court again,” said Justice Jennifer Power in a written decision. “However, I am of the view that society’s denunciation of this conduct and the need to deter likeminded individuals who might be inclined to pursue such an activity must be emphasized in this case.” Levasseur was facing nine charges, but wound up pleading guilty to two counts of trafficking cocaine and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking. His partner, Gregory Matthew Allen, pleaded guilty to five counts of trafficking cocaine and heroin, and two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. He was also found guilty on two more drug charges. Allen is scheduled to be sentenced on July 8, and is presently in custody on a different set of drug charges. As for the partners, in 2010, police received information the pair was dealing “at the ounce level,” and began a lengthy undercover operation. On May 13, 2010, Levasseur and Allen sold three ounces of cocaine to an undercover officer. On the second occasion, the transaction took place at the Kingfisher Resort in Royston where seven ounces of cocaine were sold. On June 19, 2010, Mounties raided the residences of both men. At Levasseur’s home on Macaulay Road in Black Creek, officers found 230 grams of powdered cocaine, 79 grams of crack cocaine, some heroin, and trafficking paraphernalia. In the kitchen, gloves, baggies, electrical handheld mixers, Pyrex containers, and baking soda were found. These items are consistent with items required to make crack cocaine. “(Allen) had a leading role in this midlevel operation, but that Mr. Levasseur was intimately involved in the operation and was much more than a courier or an agent. Certainly, the circumstances before me support that,” wrote Justice Power.

Levasseur’s lawyer asked for a two-year conditional sentence, which Levasseur could serve at home, but the judge disagreed. “Aggravating factors include that Mr. Levasseur was solely moti-

Atmosphere festival hopes to gather in Village Park Renee Andor Record Staff

After months of quiet about the location for Atmosphere Gathering — a new three-day festival in August featuring music, art and food — organizers announced Cumberland’s Village Park as their choice. “We reserved the Cumberland Village Park as an option for this event back in the fall, and we had also approached Camp Gilwell (near Forbidden Plateau Road) in Courtenay in October to host this event,” Vig Schulman of Cumberland Village Works – one of three organizations involved in the event – told Cumberland council Monday. “The reason that (Camp Gilwell) was compelling for us was because there was proximity to a very natural environment there; it was right beside the river and there was wildernessstyle camping. “This proved to be a little bit more complex than we had thought. We went through the process with the scout camp; we signed a

rental agreement with them … When we approached the CVRD (Comox Valley Regional District), however, they informed us that the scout camp was not technically zoned to allow for third-party rentals at this time.” According to a staff report to the CVRD Electoral Areas Services Committee, Scouts Canada leases the site from the Province, and the Province “does not support the use of the site for third-party events.” Scouts Canada would need an amendment on its lease agreement with the Province in order to move forward with this event. Schulman noted an amendment would take time and Atmosphere Gathering is scheduled for Aug. 15-17, so organizers decided to move forward with plans to host the festival at Village Park. A collaboration among Cumberland Village Works, Little Island Productions and Gourmet Girls, the event would feature live and electronic music acts, community meals and a variety of activities such as spo-

ken word, dance performances, yoga and nature walks. Schulman told council this event would be an exciting one for Cumberland. “This is a very conscious event. This is something different. This is a twist,” he said. “We feel with all of this into the mix it’s going to be an amazing event.” Cumberland Village Works’ Melissa Roeske added: “It has potential to bring a lot of economics to downtown, and also to really showcase Cumberland once again as this arts and culture hub.” Schulman and Roeske requested an exemption from the Village’s noise bylaw for Aug. 15-17. They also requested Sixth Street be closed temporarily between Dunsmuir and Keswick Avenues — with the exception of local traffic — to ensure clear access to the park. Their letter to council noted organizers have been working with Village staff to ensure requirements are met for a park-use permit, too. A staff report

regarding the noise bylaw exemption and road closure request is expected to come before council for consideration at its June 23 meeting. Roeske noted organizers have been working with the Comox Valley RCMP to ensure the event is safe, insurance is in the works, Footprints Security Patrol has been contracted and noise mitigation measures are planned, among other things. The festival would feature a main stage and two secondary

stages, shuttles to and from the event and camping on-site with additional camping at Comox Lake. Organizers do not plan to have a beer garden, Schulman told council, adding the event would be allages. According to Schulman, the event would be smaller than past events held in Village Park, (such as the Big Time Out), with about 1,500 attendees expected.

Development projects discussed at CVRD meeting Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The regional district committee of the whole has deferred discussion about amending the Regional Growth Strategy, as per an application from 3L Developments. The Nanaimo-based company has proposed to create a riverfront community near Stotan Falls with homes and trails at the confluence of the Puntledge and Browns rivers. Staff has recommended against amending the RGS, a document that guides growth and development in the Valley. Settlement nodes identified in RGS policies are intended to accommodate compact forms of development and areas “not contiguous to municipalities.” The CVRD board had previously rejected an offer to purchase the property for $9 million, saying 3L’s proposal is not in synch with the RGS. The offer included Stotan Falls, Bull Island and parkland dedication. At Tuesday’s meeting, Area C resident Jay Oddleifson and

Larry Peterson of the Puntledge River Restoration Committee and the local branch of the Steelhead Society, spoke in favour of initiating a process to consider the proposal. Courtenay director Starr Winchester and Comox director Tom Grant would like to hear the public’s opinion. “I think we owe it to the community,” Winchester said. “Let’s try to hammer out a deal.” But Area B director Jim Gillis feels it is important to respect the RGS. He notes 3L had originally drawn the line at the Puntledge River.

Great blue heron tour at Royston Wrecks On June 15 at the Royston Wrecks, two youth from the Youth and Ecological Restoration Program (YER) will lead a public tour about great blue herons. Great blue herons are a species at risk with the BC Conser-

vation Data Centre, so it is critical that their habitat be protected. In 2013, YER partnered with MARS to document herons and their foraging behaviour in the Comox Valley. Youth conducted behavioural observations in the Courte-

nay River estuary from Royston Wrecks and were instrumental in locating one of the most populated foraging areas. They learned about the estuary and its significance as a feeding area for the herons, as well as other species. In 2014 YER and MARS are extending this study for a YER Phase II project with two YER, Phase I graduates, the YER co-ordinator and a biologist to continue to collect scientific data on the herons. YER II focus is on a specific project for youth to advance learning about ecological information, research techniques, and collaboration and communication skills. Completion involves the two youth leading a public tour of the project site. Registered professional biologist, Ian Moul, who authored the heron report for MARS last year, will be guiding the YER II project. Please join us for this youth-led public tour on June 15 at noon and learn about great blue herons. Royston Wrecks is located south of Courtenay, turn left

onto Hilton Road and drive down to the parking area at the beach. This project was made possible with funding from Ministry of Children and Family Development, Mountainaire Avian Res-

cue Society (MARS), Comox Valley Environmental Council and UNIFOR Local 3019. For more information, contact Wendy Kotilla at wkotilla@ shaw.ca or 250-3368487.

CVCDA announces new executive director

Change is in the air at the Comox Valley Child Development Association. After six years at the helm – and 16 years with the CVCDA – executive director Lorraine Aitken is retiring and turning over the position to Joanne Schroeder. Schroeder has a long history in child, family and community services, having recently been the deputy director of the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) based at UBC,

and was previously the provincial adviser for Children First, based at the CVCDA from 2005 to 2008. The agency is thrilled to attract a candidate with Joanne’s expertise, skills, and knowledge. Aitken says “Knowing that Joanne will be on board has made retiring so much easier as she will be such an asset for the children and families we serve, the agency and the community as a whole,” said Aitken.

“We are really fortunate to have her joining the team.” Aitken won’t be disappearing entirely from the scene though as “once you have been part of the CVCDA it’s in your heart forever.” Like many other retired CVCDA employees, she will be behind the scenes volunteering with the annual Children’s Telethon in November and helping out with upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations.

A GIGANTIC SLAP up the side of

the head to the male 25-30ish in Superstore Wednesday, June 4, 2:30-3 p.m. with a young girl, eight or nine years old. He was wearing a black tshirt with printed red bow tie , and big white letters which read “C L A S S Y M O T H E R F _ _ _ E R” (with the blanks filled in). What a role model! No class, no brains, no common sense. If his sperm count is as high as his I.Q., the girl with him had to have been adopted. He didn’t have any of the requirements to produce one on his own. What a ZEROID. I can’t imagine the girls’ mother letting her out of the house with him. Does he dress himself or does he have help? He sure needs some!

AS AN EX-AIRCRAFT maintainer

and original Comox Air Force Museum participant, I am absolutely sickened by the announcement that the Comox Air Force Museum, Jon Ambler and Terry Chester leading, have spent $3 million dollars on a project that offers very little bang for the buck! The thought of $3 million dollars being used to upgrade and improve a relatively stagnant Air Force Museum would have been money much better spent. I love airplanes as much as the next enthusiast but using so much money to benefit such a small group is outrageous! Shame on a small group of elitists who use public and private donations to further their own parochial interest!

We often forget that whether on duty or off, these people support and build our community in so many ways.

KUDOS TO A local company of-

fering custom work at a competitive price. I had two sad looking old patio chairs and two planters that I was about to throw away. The chairs needed new fabric and the frames needed to be re painted and the planters were rusty to the point that I seriously thought them unsalvageable. Donna, at Clairmont Custom Draperies, had recently expanded her business to include refurbishing balcony items. I believe we need to reuse and renew whenever possible so I called Donna, not really expecting she could bring my items back to life but lo and behold I now have my treasured items back to a new beginning. They look lovely. Thank you Donna for a job very well done. Your work is excellent.

for being a wonderful surgeon. My surgery was difficult, but you did fabulous and I had no complications and healed well. Thank you so much, I can now get back to enjoying life. My surgery was at the beginning of February and two weeks ago I placed first in the Comox Valley duathlon. Thank you.

I HAVE A brief thank you for the Beefs & Bouquets section that I would like to put out following a successful fundraiser that the Comox Valley Record covered very generously. We would like to send a huge thank you to Fix Auto/Georgia Straight Collision & Towing for covering all the Administration Costs associated with the Live Auction that took place May 31st at the The Flying Canoe West Coast Pub at the Best Western Westerly. We would also like to thank the Pub/Hotel for absorbing the debit and credit card service charges which enabled the winning bidders more payment options for their items and Jean Rowe of Auction House Vancouver Island for donating her professional expertise! To have those expenses donated ensures that 100 pr cent of the proceeds of this fundraiser goes to help families in our community. We would also like to thank the Comox Valley in its entirety, it takes all parties to come together to make an event like this successful. Sincerely Tania and Cory.

Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model. Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good. So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a standard feature on all Legacy trims.

Rare Ford Mustang T5 gets final preparations The restoration story of Laura Ballance’s Mustang T5 has been interesting to follow and one that is not typical of this kind of project. Before I get carried away telling you what a T5 actually is, I have to report that with the help of the team at 360 Fabrication, suppliers White and Peters, BASF paint and the 200-plus hours of paint preparation, application, wet sanding and polishing by master painter Darren Emmerson, the car is finished! And here is the best part, it’s on time and under budget, Laura had no almost unheard of in days gone by, let alone today. idea how rare her So what is so special about car was until she a T5 Mustang? – The Ford decided to embark Mustang could not be sold in on this project and Germany as a Mustang because a truck manufacturer began doing her there – and later, a motorresearch. cycle manufacturer – owned the trademarked name Nigel Matthews Mustang. Both manufacturers offered to sell the rights to Ford for $10,000 each but Ford declined and decided the solution would be to use the initial Mustang project name T5 as the solution. With all of the changes required, they should have probably paid the $10,000. With there being so many U.S. armed forces bases in Germany, export models were highly sought after. Laura had no idea how rare her car was until she decided to embark on this project and began doing her research. The T5 registry has informed Laura that of the 453 Mustang Hardtop T5s built in 1967, hers is one of the few examples ordered with a vinyl roof, which is listed as an option in the V.I.N tag. There are only two T5s known to exist in Canada, hers and one in Ontario; and only 45 have survived in various states of condition worldwide. It is going to be a busy summer for Laura, her two daughters and the Mustang. I suspect her father, never in his wildest dreams, would have thought the car would end up as a show car – let alone become a family affair involving three generations of his family. The T5 will debut at the

Your classic car could be going, going, sold! The 2014 Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction, presented by the Dueck Auto Group, is now accepting consignment applications for those looking to sell their cars. New to this year’s event, which takes take place June 21-22, at the PNE Fairgrounds, is an auction preview, open only to the auction’s registered bidders and consigners. This event will allow sellers to show off their vehicles and mingle with the bidders before the auction. If you have an awesome car that you want to show off but don’t want to sell, they too can be displayed at the show for free.

Vancouver Classic Car Show and Auction at the PNE on June 21-22. (See a picture of it at its gleaming best in next week’s Driveway preview of that show.) Then it will head south in July to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Washington, the world’s largest Mustang meet. The car is entered in the Concours restoration class and should place well. Because this is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, the invitations are pouring in. The most recent one came from an event in North Carolina. Laura still has a day job so unfortunately will have to miss that one. She will finish the summer off at the Luxury SuperCar weekend at VanDusen Gardens in September. The car will be viewed at least 30 times in a month, gracing the walls of garages and repair shops all over North America featured in a 2015 Ford calendar. This concludes a restoration project, and it is a happy conclusion.

This little car can be quick, too, thanks to the 96 feet-pounds of instant torque from the electric motor. This moves the car along quickly, but the throttle has been calibrated for smooth acceleration, helping the driver gain the best efficiency. I should point out that the high centre of gravity, short wheelbase and slightly choppy ride all combine to make a less-than-connected car in the corners, so be aware that this car can accelerate quickly but it will not corner quickly. What the electric version has over the regular gasoline model is a much smoother delivery of power. No more anemic gasoline engine and gone is the choppy transmission. The electric motor is smooth and refined.

New drivers should be extra careful. If an obstacle such as a bear suddenly appears it is very important not to swerve while braking, once a skid or slide starts, it is very difficult to regain control. It is best to use four-wheel drive on gravel roads to gain better traction. Gravel roads provide enough slip not to cause any transfer case windup problems. After driving long distances on poor quality roads, it is a good idea to check all nuts and bolts to see they haven’t vibrated loose. It is especially important to check all suspension components. When driving on dusty roads, it is a good idea to have all your windows closed and the ventilation control set to outside air with the fan on high. This pressurizes the cab of the vehicle, and helps reduce the amount of dust sucked into the vehicle. When another vehicle approaches, move the ventilation control to re-circulate to stop dusty air coming in. Remember to move the ventilation back to outside air once you have passed or else the pressurization effect will be gone. The Interior is already experiencing some very dry conditions and with predictions of a serious fire season ahead please do your part not to be carless and report any fire to 1-800-663-5555 or *5555.

Record staff A public opinion vote will be held Nov. 15 in conjunction with municipal elections to determine if Valley residents favour a local government-funded affordable housing/ homelessness service. The non-binding referendum question will gauge public willingness to fund a service up to six dollars per year for a property valued at $300,000. Up to $5,000 will be spent to develop information to describe the nature and extent of potential activities associated with such a service. Directors will consider specific wording for the question at the August COW meeting.

The firehall is expected to cost $3,215,000. Property tax impact would be about $23 for the average residence. “The City of Courtenay wants this,” said Coun. Jon Ambler, a member of a select committee to review the project, along with Couns. Bill Anglin and Manno Theos. Anglin notes a “critical need” for a new firehall and training ground that will complement the Comox fire training centre. A simulator, for instance, will provide realistic training to enable firefighters to make splitsecond “life and death decisions.” The City commissioned two separate, third-party reports to analyze fire service in Courtenay. Both studies concluded the city needs a firehall in East Courtenay, where more than 50 per cent of the population resides. Mayor Larry Jangula noted the importance of a second firehall, especially in the event of gridlock if the Fifth Street Bridge closes. The only questions he has received concern the training

Free fishing on Father’s Day weekend Kids of all sizes and ages, including “big” kids are invited to spend time on Father’s Day weekend, June 14 and 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., fishing for trout out at the Courtenay and District Fish and Game Protective Association. The pond is stocked and no licence is required. Fish and Game members will supply bait, untangle gear and clean fish and any other assistance necessary to ensure you have a great time. Some loaner rods will be available for those who have no fishing gear or new to the sport, but they are limited this year so please try to bring a rod and reel. The event is so popular, we ask the anglers on the wharves to fish for a while and then allow others, especially the kids, a chance to fish safely. Fish and Game members will be monitoring the area and checking to ensure fish limits are adhered to. The B.C. Family Fishing Weekend is an annual event designed to introduce fishing as a recreational pastime, develop new anglers and have fun with friends and family. The Province supports the event by offering the three-day free freshwater licence opportunity. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. provides the healthy trout for visitors’ catching pleasure. Courtenay Thrifty Foods will be providing a complimentary snack and beverage, for which the CDFGPA is extremely grateful. Take advantage of this wonderful event for some quality family time.

Q: What is the difference between a budget and a financial plan? A:

A budget helps you plan your monthly expenses by looking at your income and working backwards. At the end of each month, you should be able to track your spending habits and see how much you can afford to save. Sticking to a budget is difficult for most people as we tend to not keep track of every penny spent or end up setting unrealistic saving goals. Beyond forming a budget, proper financial planning considers many factors, such as your situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance and estate considerations. A comprehensive view of your present circumstance will help better define future goals. Before preparing a plan, here are a few things to consider: THERE WILL BE ATTRACTIONS and fun to be had for all ages at the Community Block Party, Saturday at the Comox Pentacostal Church. PHOTOS SUBMITTED

1. Is the plan achievable/realistic? 2. Does it accommodate changes? 3. Does it provide for necessities as well as small luxuries or rewards? You and your family will have a unique financial plan; however, there are some basic steps that you can follow to begin a simple plan. The first step is establishing a relationship with someone who can help you.

out of a networking event ask engaging questions, keep the conversation casual and make an effort to get to know the person. It is best to get to understand the other person’s needs before you start talking about what you have to offer. Networking events can be stressful, especially when you walk into a room filled with 100 people. One trick is to get there early so that you can meet people as they arrive and before they start forming their own groups which may be hard to break into. There is a wealth of information out there that focuses on how to successfully work your way through networking events. It is in your best interests to get to know the dos and don’ts of networking along with the tips and tricks that will make the experience less stressful and more joyful. Those who know how to network properly will tell you that there is a direct correlation to the amount of time you spend networking and how successful you will be in business. The bottom line on networking is that it is all about making connections and building friendships. It is about finding common interests, sharing ideas and looking for ways that you can work together and encouraging referrals. If you think of networking in those terms, these events then become worthwhile activities that will contribute to your success.

Camping: A Canadian pastime

an there be anything more Canadian than camping? Getting out into the great outdoors, setting up camp and enjoying the solitude just seems like a long thread in the fabric of our culture. It’s a pastime many people grew up with. Families did it together and often the kids were enrolled in either Boy Scouts or Girl Guides, where camping skills were routinely taught and practised. The enjoyment of the outdoors, and how you can survive comfortably in it, has been passed down from generation to generation. That’s why it seems a little sad that National Parks staff run programs to teach people how to do it. It’s a little sad, but not all that surprising. More and more people are filling Canadian cities and to a certain degree, going camping might not have the same appeal as it once had. It’s not necessarily an urban-versus-rural issue — either you enjoy camping, or you don’t. Taking in nature from afar deprives a person of a closer connection with the outdoors and the opportunity to decompress and disconnect from the world for a short time. There can be nothing more rewarding to be out of cell range and left to your own skills and know-how to survive in the wild — even if that wild is a groomed provincial campsite that you can drive into. It’s true that for some people, disconnection from the world leaves them feeling nervous, vulnerable or simply cut off from their community. That distance can be enough to discourage some from taking the step into the great outdoors. But like many things that are unfamiliar, they just need to be practised. Soon, packing up for a camping trip will become, if not second nature, then at least less of a burden, with thoughts of the relaxation ahead motivating and inspiring you. It’s far better to accept that some people don’t have outdoor skills and need those lessons to improve their outlook when they decide the time is right to go camping. And for many Canadians, as soon as the weather turns nice, that time is right now. –Victoria News Record Question of the Week This week: 52% of respondents say there should not be a deer culling on Vancouver Island, despite all the highway deaths.

Gas: the other pipeline showdown in B.C.

he prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of POLITICS celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions. OM Natural gas pipelines and export LETCHER terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected. Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax. But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session. At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the

“Unist’ot’en camp.” Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here. Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the ChevronApache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat. The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relation-

ship with the B.C. government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind. The Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil. A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, www.genuinewitty.com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters. Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target.

Fight against Bill 24 lost, but battle was not all in vain Dear editor, Re: Farmland bill passes, to the dismay of many (Tom Fletcher column, June 3) For Tom Fletcher, a fan of the recent ALR bill, only “a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land” might make the concerns about it “at least partially true.” Short of the flood, it seems any bad effect from the weakened Agricultural Land Commission Act is nothing. Fortunately, the bill spurred wide pro-ALR action. The efforts

to stop “the bill to kill the ALR” (at least for consultation) were also a means to boost the critical mass of aware citizens for the next stage, which is now. Awareness matters. We saw that in Richmond a few years ago when a fellow who publicly wanted a high-profile property out of the ALR almost got onto the Agricultural Land Commission panel to decide on it. Of course, the ALC is a tribunal, and like a court it is meant to start with evidence, not decisions.

Until the recent bill kneecapped the commission, current chair Richard Bullock was modernizing the ALC methods for quality assurance and efficiency, minimizing mistakes. Now the changes to the ALC Act have disabled much of the progress and worse. With vigilance, the harm can be limited. Jim Wright President, Garden City Conservation Society Richmond, B.C.

Clearing up some misconceptions about teachers Dear editor, I have been a teacher, presently on call, in British Columbia, long enough to know our public education system is rapidly eroding. Sad news was received today, that our government feels teachers should settle, as CUPE has, without addressing class size, nor composition. Along with this news, we already know there will be many layoffs, throughout the province, as school boards are underfunded, and cannot meet the needs of those in the public school system. There has been a freeze on operating grants, for

and composition. Had we chosen wages, over the classroom, would they have clawed back our earnings? Supreme Court has ruled our contract legal, and binding, and our government has chosen to disobey the law. The government is now spending thousands of dollars appealing the Supreme Court decision, and paying the BCTF a hefty fine. I have a feeling all that money could be much better spent. The public education system will continue to erode, if teachers don’t speak up. School districts were responsible for the last pay raise for

the third year in a row, and no new funding has been provided to cover inflation, MSP premium hikes, BC Hydro rates, and other costs. Teachers have not had a salary increase in sometime, as we have put our students’ needs first, and bargained for effec-

tive class size, and composition, in lieu of. Unfortunately, the Liberals have stripped those conditions from our contract. Along with closing schools, and dismissing many specialist teachers over the last decade, the government tore up our contract, guaranteeing class size,

CUPE members, and are now expected to pay half of any seismic upgrade to a school. With school boards not able to run deficits, you can likely imagine what more will be cut from your children’s or grandchildren’s education. What kind of government would devalue public education, in such manner? Unfortunately, the Liberal government has chosen to do so, and all society will be unfortunately affected. Ask yourself what you want for the children of British Columbia. Sharon Daly Comox

Turnout for info meeting evidence that concerns regarding smart meters is high Dear editor, As one of many (who knows how many) people who have successfully resisted having a smart meter installed on my home, I want to strongly protest, in public, putting these not-CSA approved, communication devices in anyone’s home. There are many people with “electro-sensitivity’ that have documented health impacts from electro-magnetic radiation

(EMR). It’s the same radiation in microwaves, in baby monitors, and in cellphones. The body accumulates radiation, so every use adds up. Cellphones are bad because they are held next to the brain. Brain waves are electric pulses after all. Children using cellphones is bad cause their skulls are thinner, and the brain is still developing. Smart meters are the worst

of all because they are on all the time. At least you can turn off the cellphone, (and never sleep with one on next to your bed.) Personally, I am mostly concerned about the threats and heavy-handed behaviour of BC Hydro and Corix employees. According to BC Hydro, many retired Hydro employees have been enlisted to ‘fix’ the problems with smart meters, caused by Corix. This, in itself, is an admis-

sion that hiring the cheapest employees has caused problems. Hydro is spending more of our money to repair meters, attend to replacement of expired meters in a professional manner, and to try to calm relations between Hydro and their customers. At a recent impromptu meeting on Merville, I was amazed to see over 60 people turn out, all of whom had also resisted having a smart meter installed, despite

threats and increased fees from BC Hydro. Saturday, June 14 is a national day of protest against smart meters. In the Comox Valley, come to Don McRae, MLA’s office at noon on Fifth Street and England, downtown Courtenay. Take Back our Power. This blatant bullying from BC Hydro must be stopped.

Plans for new fire hall deemed suspicious Dear editor, Doesn’t it seem that Courtenay Council is being a little hasty in trying to move forward with a new fire hall/training centre? Trying to find a lot of money after the 2014 budget has been finalized and tax notices sent out? Surely, we can wait a few months so the issue can be discussed during the municipal elections this November. Then the Council elected at that time could make decisions based on

feedback from the citizens of Courtenay. Personally, I think the issue of a new fire hall and training facility should be discussed separately. I wonder if an ambulance could be housed in a new facility and I wonder if additional training capacity could be added to the Comox Fire Hall. It doesn’t look like those possibilities have been seriously addressed. I think they should. Erik Eriksson Courtenay

Starting from the Saanich ferry terminal June 22, British cyclist Ollie Blackmore will undertake a 15-day world first record attempt as he cycles around Vancouver Island. When he arrives at the finish line in Swartz Bay July 6 he will have travelled over 2,300 kilometres, climbing more than 151,000 feet — five times the

height of Mount Everest — in the process. Blackmore plans to arrive in Courtenay June 23 as he heads up-Island. His stops will include Campbell River, Port McNeill, Cape Scott Provincial Park, Tahsis and Gold River. He returns to the Valley July 2 with a stop in Comox. He then heads to Tofino and Uclue-

let, then back to Bamfield, Port Renfrew and Sooke en route to the Victoria harbour. The main aim of the challenge is to raise money for cancer charities in Canada and the United Kingdom. Blackmore is raising $25,000 for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. For more information visit www.cyclechallengecanada.com.

Dunn brings stories to memorial weekend B.C. and Pacific Northwest working class history heralded during Miners weekend The Cumberland Museum is welcoming Maria Dunn for a special concert event Thursday, June 12 at Cumberland United Church as part of their 29th anniversary Miners Memorial Weekend (June 12-15). It’s not an easy thing to draw smart, compelling songs from historical sources, or to give contemporary experience a timeless resonance. But one of Alberta’s finest musical storytellers, Maria Dunn, accomplishes both. A Juno-nominated songwriter (guitarist, vocalist and accordionist), Maria draws deeply on the folk tradition of storytelling through song. A true preserver of the spirit of folk music, she is often compared to Woody Guthrie for her keen social awareness and her unvarnished songs about the lives of working men and women. Melding North American roots music with her ScottishIrish heritage, Maria celebrates the resilience and grace of the working class. Tickets are only $10 for this special concert. Twenty free tickets are held for children 14 and under. Another 20 sliding scale tickets for under

Casual jazz at the Zo Forbidden Jazz Trio returns to Zocalo Café for an evening performance on Fri, June 13. Featuring Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocals, Mike Eddy on keyboards, and Grahame Edwards on bass, they strive to reach audiences of all ages by performing a wide variety of timeless jazz standards and original compositions. Representing more than four decades of experience, their unique blend of voice, brass, and strings will weave their collective magic through two sets of entertaining music. Keyboard master Michael Eddy is a welcome addition to the trio, replacing Jim Chew on guitar. Although relatively new to the Valley, Mike has been fortunate enough to collaborate with many fantastic musicians over the past few years. Grahame Edwards studied music at the University of British Columbia and holds a Diploma in Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. Aside from both acoustic and electric bass, Grahame also

Are you a passionate, skilled vocalist yearning to sing challenging and fun music in harmony with others? On Wednesday June 18, 7-9 p.m. at Highland Secondary, the Just in Time Jazz Choirs will be holding auditions for the 201415 season. The Just in Time choirs, directed by Wendy Nixon Stothert and accompanied by Sean Mooney, are three adult community groups: Jazzy Jems (auditioned women), Vocal Minority (auditioned mixed), and Unplugged (non-auditioned). Collectively, their mission is to help spread positive vibes and joy through singing.

The choirs offer a safe, warm, uplifting, encouraging environment where there are opportunities for singers of all levels of experience. While they do sing songs from the swing and Latin jazz genres, they also sing pop, blues, ballad, funk, gospel, and folk tunes. The upcoming themes are “Decades” in the fall, featuring great arrangements of hit songs from each decade of the past hundred years, and “Just in Time’s Greatest Hits” in the spring, when this choral community will be celebrating their 10th anniversary. The two auditioned choirs sing music with more challenging harmonies and rhythms.

Each singer in these small groups sings on his or her own microphone and is therefore expected to be a confident vocalist with some music reading skills and previous singing experience. Every member of these groups re-auditions every year to ensure that the ensembles are consistently improving. Please come to the open audition prepared to do a music reading evaluation, a quartet singing exercise, and a two-minute unaccompanied solo of your choice in a style that reflects your personality and skills.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Thursday, June 12, 2014

Would you go skydiving without a parachute? You make plans on a daily basis — plans about where you want to live, plans about who you want to marry — your career, your life. Have you planned for what would be important to you if you aren’t able to make decisions for yourself about your medical care? Who would you want to do this on your behalf? Do they know you well? Will they know what to do? Not

all of us parachute but we will all die someday. So what’s the use of avoiding the topic? In September, 2011, advance care planning legislation was passed in British Columbia allowing you to choose the kind of care you would like to have if you can’t speak for yourself. It also allows you to appoint someone to speak on your behalf. In essence, your advance care plan

allows you to make sure that your voice is heard when you cannot speak for yourself by respecting your beliefs and values. Contrary to some who think advance care planning is only for seniors, it is for young and old alike. Even when you are young and in excellent health, accidents, the unexpected and serious illness can happen to any of us. If you are

living with a chronic disease you, too, know that circumstances can change quickly. You should decide about the kind of care you would want while you are capable of making your own decisions. You should decide when enough is enough. Remember if you completed a plan before September, 2011, or did so in another province, it may need to be

reviewed or updated to be currently valid in British Columbia. Visit www. AdvanceCarePlanningCV.ca to learn more

about how to start the conversation, regularly scheduled free Advance Care Planning community workshops and sample Advance

Care Plans. Or, call the Comox Valley Hospice Society at 250-3395533 for more information. — Comox Valley Hospice Society

Don’t feed these nocturnal bandits H

ighly intelligent and inquisitive, raccoons have been nicknamed ‘nocturnal bandits.’ These mammals belong to the same family as coatis and ring tails which are found throughout North and South America. Originally they were hunted for their meat and trapped for their fur; these practices still continue in some areas. Although they appear “cute and cuddly” their disposition can change dramatically making them a ferocious foe. Adult raccoons can measure up to three feet in length and weigh in excess of 30 pounds. Raccoon fur is very long and dense, grey black in colour; their tails are long with black rings around the end. Black face masks are unmistakable, standing out even in the dark. These animals are equipped with very sharp claws set in flat back feet which are strong, enabling them to climb whilst their front feet also adapt as hands. Their front feet are used to wash food yet still strong enough to open clams and oyster shells. Raccoons are opportunistic feeders consuming fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, birds and are very partial to pet food! Originally found in forests, their diversified diet has allowed them to expand and adapt to urban living where they have thrived, finding great nesting sites in attics, basements and other warm cosy human areas. Male raccoons often have multiple mates but have no part in raising the babies. When born the cubs weigh only three ounces, their ears and eyes are still closed and remain so for several days. Females

endeavour to find a secure nest site in which to leave their young andy allowing them to leave and airfield hunt for food. In order to hunt successfully the mother may be gone several hours before returning to nurse the babies. Every year M.A.R.S. receives calls regarding ‘orphaned raccoons’ — usually they are not orphaned but ‘kidnapped’ as the mother will be waiting to make sure no predators are near when she returns to the nest. Although raccoons may seem “warm and fuzzy,” they can become very aggressive if you attempt to hand feed them. Their sharp teeth and claws can inflict some nasty wounds especially if they feel trapped or their babies are threatened. It is important to remember that raccoons are especially susceptible to canine distemper and occasionally rabies (more common in Eastern Canada); a more common problem that can be transmitted to pets and humans are round worms. To prevent these animals becoming a nuisance, do not feed them and make sure that pet dishes are not left out in the yard. Garbage cans should have secure lids as these little bandits can push over cans and remove the lids before they fine dine! M.A.R.S. has rescued several baby raccoons this season and we stress the importance of leaving the babies alone if there is no indication of the mother

As pedestrians, do we trust drivers too much?

was walking to my vehicle after work yesterday and watched the woman on the sidewalk ahead of me approach the intersection. She did not hesitate to step into the crosswalk even though a vehicle on her left had stopped halfway across it waiting to enter traffic. The driver was watching intently to her left waiting for a gap in traffic. The pedestrian checked her stride and I thought that she was going to wait for the driver to notice her before she crossed in front of the vehicle. Not so. She walked around the front of the vehicle and just about became another statistic. The driver had found her gap and began to roll forward at the same time as she looked to her right to make sure that she had a gap to enter. Finding a pedestrian just inches ahead of her hood ornament must have been quite a surprise, but her reflexes were good. She managed to jam on the brakes and come to a stop without touching the pedestrian. Our pedestrian should have stopped where she checked her stride and waited

her safety to cross the driver’s path, she may or may not have proceeded forward. Instead it was either no thought at all or complete trust in the driver looking both ways again before moving and allowing the pedestrian to cross. I’ll give her the

Canada’s best was put to the test when the Comox Valley Cycle Club hosted the BC Time Trial Championships on Sunday, June 8. The event was held on the Dove Creek course and included categories from Masters, Pro 1/2 down to Junior Under 13. Canada’s national time trial champion, Curtis Dearden, posted a fast time of 49 minutes 30 seconds for the 38km course but it was not fast enough to beat ex-pro hockey player, IRC’s Jordan Landolt (who played in the Switzerland National League from 2005-08), who completed the course in 49:05, with an average speed of 46.45km/h. Trek Red Truck’s Craig Ritchey finished in 49:14, the second best time of the day.

of the field he was never able to catch Ney and finished second. What was left of the bunch finished in a sprint for third place with Isaac van der Vliet (Team Trail Bikes) just overtaking Riley Pickrell at the line. The U-17 Women raced with the U-19 Women, and Trail Bikes’ Gillian Ellsay (U-19) and Local Ride’s Maggie Coles-Lyster (U-17) broke away from the rest of the girls with a couple of laps to go. Ellsay pushed the pace up the final climb to the finish line, beating Coles-Lyster by a few seconds. VAC’s Holly Simonson (U-17) crossed the line a couple of minutes later for third

I live in Sherwood Park Alberta and am of Italian/Ukrainian descent. Cooking is my passion and I want to eventually open my own restaurant. I have wanted to become a chef since I was little but having these opportunities that we have now is unbelievable and I am so happy that the culinary world just keeps growing so I can keep expanding my knowledge. My Grandfather was a very well known chef in Edmonton and he is my inspiration and the reason I started cooking. I am in my fist year apprenticeship and going to my first year of school at NAIT in September. Currently I am working at the Shaw Conference Centre - mostly on the catering side. I worked at Earl’s for about a year and for a summer I worked at the Northern Bear Golf course under an amazing chef. I love cooking everything but I particularly love doing appetizers and entrees. The hot side of the kitchen is my favourite part and being Italian, pizza and pasta are my go-to dishes. I love to travel and I love to learn how everything is farmed, caught, and picked.

I am an aspiring chef from the prairies. I am currently waiting for my application for Apprenticeship under Chef Jonathan Thauberger to go through. Then I believe I will also be doing a day release program under Siast and traveling to and from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I am currently working in Crave Kitchen and Wine Bar in Regina. The kitchen specifically is focused on a made from scratch philosophy using as much locally and Canadian sourced products as possible. Our dishes are grounded in French, Spanish and Italian techniques and ideals with a Canadian flare! The bulk of my training thus far has been with the sauté side of the kitchen which is where I feel most comfortable. Cooking for myself, I am partial to pasta, although a good barbecue is hard to beat. Ribs mostly but you can’t go wrong with steak and potatoes... corn on the cob...mmm. I have applied for the Saputo National Junior Exchange because I want to expose myself to as much as I possibly can while I can. This is an incredible opportunity and I did not want to pass it up. I’m so excited and honoured to be picked for this Exchange.

Ian Fletcher, Toronto,ON I was born and raised in Ontario and attended high school in Brampton where I had an active role in my high school culinary arts department. I started working in the kitchen at Terrace-On-The Green and completed my apprenticeship there. I also worked at Hockley Valley Ski Resort. I took classes at Humber College in my senior year of high school and attended Humber College for a two-year apprenticeship program . I completed my program at Humber this past April. I’ve completed my working hours and currently looking to obtaining my Red Seal. I’ve worked in all types of kitchens from fast food to fine dining as well as banquets. I Currently work at Terrace-On-The Green as entremetier/tournant. I like to serve friends and family any kind of steak and potato combination. When hungry I generally make myself some pasta or simple home comfort food such as Kraft dinner or hotdogs and hamburgers. I applied for the Saputo National Junior Exchange initially because I was encouraged by a number of members from my Branch who thought I was a good candidate.

Karolane Montreal, PQ

I am an aspiring chef from Quebec. I went to Nicolas-Gatineau high school in the sport-études program then went to La Cité collégiale to study in a culinary program. I’m working in a little bistro (56 Places). I did my stage at L’orée DuBois (Chef JeanClaude Chartrand), after that I have been working at restaurants as a traiteur l’assiette. I love to cook for my family because I love to see that they are happy to eat what I’ve made. My way to cook summer vs winter is different, during the summer I prefer to use fresh and light ingredients but in the winter I prefer potatoes and other root vegetables. My favorite position in the kitchen is the garde-manger, you can use more of your creativity in the presentation. When I’m hungry and I have all day to cook, I would make something with potatoes but if I don’t have time, I would make salad or pâté chinois. I first heard of the Saputo National Junior Exchange through Chef Ritesh when I was working at Risotto. He invited me to apply as a CCFCC Junior and encouraged me to participate in the Saputo Poutine Challenge. The Saputo National Junior Exchange is a great opportunity for me to see how many things are produced and harvested.

The Saputo Junior Culinary Exchange winners will attend a series of organized events and industry-related tours across Vancouver Island from June 10th to 24th. They begin their journey of learning in Victoria. The North Vancouver Island (NVICA) Branch of the Canadian Culinary Federation (CCFCC) is a non-profit Association which represents chefs and cooks from Nanaimo to the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Our goals are to promote culinary excellence, aid the growth and development of our industry, and provide a network for our membership. We are increasingly taking an educational role in promoting healthy lifestyles, conscientious food purchasing and global awareness in all that we do. Working with local high schools and colleges, we strive to assist aspiring individuals in developing the skills which are in demand today in our industry. For deserving students and apprentices we offer financial assistance for education. The Canadian Culinary Federation/ Fédération Culinaire Canadienne is dedicated through training and partnering, to the promotion of a distinctly Canadian food culture both nationally and internationally. It is committed to the development of innovative and engaging learning opportunities that inspire its members to be passionate, respectful and tolerant professionals who make a difference in the community. The goal of the Canadian Culinary Federation is to unite chefs and cooks across Canada in a common dedication to professional excellence. The Canadian Culinary Federation (CCFCC) was founded in 1963. Since its inception, the federation has enjoyed a deep and long-standing tradition as Canada’s true representation of the professional chef and cook. Becoming either a Federation or Junior (pre-Red Seal) NVICA Member automatically includes both the National (CCFCC) and the World Association of Cooks Societies

(WACS) Membership. This opens both a national and international network of cooks and chefs. There is also an Associate category at the Branch level. This is open to people who are not necessarily cooks or chefs but work, teach, or feel passionately about feeding people. Example… the NVICA has as members a High School Home Economics teacher, several farmers (both aqua & terroir), fishermen, a community food network and a Provincial Marketing Board. Some of the benefits of joining the North Vancouver Iland Chefs Association include: • Networking with industry professionals, educators and passionate foodies • Attend informative events and social functions • Receive periodic newsletters, industry magazines and culinary news bulletins • New product sampling, demonstrations and production tours • Participation in volunteer events with not only your peers but people who care about where their food is coming from Living with the natural gifts of Vancouver Island inspires each and every one of us to create and nurture the food that surrounds us. We are passionate about the culinary industry that we belong to and are always striving for ways to enhance it. For more information contact: Lesley Stav

Reds avenge loss to Athletics Last season’s reigning first and second place teams were pitted against each other this past Friday night in Comox Valley Men’s Baseball League action at Bill Moore Memorial Park. Happy’s Source for Sports Reds were looking for revenge from the heartbreaking loss in last year’s championship game to Daryl Robbins CGA Athletics and got it to the tune of 12-6. The Reds’ pitchers Adam Berkenstock (3IP, W, 2ER) and Dallas McDonald (2IP, 0ER) were able to hold off the Athletics’ powerful offence for long enough while the Reds’ bats woke up. At the plate the Reds were led by Chris Mckague (3-4, BB), Berkenstock (3-5) and McDon-

ald (2-4, 2B, BB). As the ball game moved into the later innings the Athletics’ Jay Dzuba (1-4, 2B, BB), Dan Fauteux (1-3, 2B) and Andy Stewert (1-4) pieced together some offence for the A’s, to make it a game, but Reds’ pitchers Jeff Meija and Mckague came in late to mop up the win. In the second game of the night the Temprite Climate Solutions Orioles had a nail-bitter against the Investors Group Blue Jays. Defence was the key in this contest. The Orioles’ Issac Alksne and Keenan Egeland made many fine plays in the field to hold off the Jays’ bats. The Blue Jays countered the Orioles’ defence with strong pitching from Ryan Curtis (3IP,

W, 0ER) and Ferris Sterling (2IP, 0ER) to keep the Orioles’ bats quiet all game. With offence at a premium, the Orioles’ pitching staff of Jordan Butcher (3IP, 0ER), Hayden Scheck (2IP, 1ER) and Keenan Andrews (2IP, 0ER) was just as dominant. In the end it was just one single run that the Blue Jays needed as they thwarted a squeeze bunt attempt by the Orioles’ Egeland in the bottom half of the seventh inning to win the game 1-0. SHORT HOPS The CVMBL plays every Friday night, 7 p.m. at Bill Moore park in Courtenay ... league standings in Scoreboard, B11 ... – Comox Valley Men’s Baseball League

Banner days for Brewers Banner Landscaping Brewers won both of their games last week, 16-10 over Ducks Gone Wild and 15-8 against the Sunlife Slammers, to sit atop the Tier 1 Comox Valley Mixed Slo-Pitch standings. Speedy Auto Glass Devils dropped a high scoring 26-17 decision to the Ramrods and narrowly got by Mission Possible Shockers 21-20. The Lucky Dawgs dropped both of their games with an 18-15 win for the Slammers and were outscored 21-17 by the Renegades. The Shockers won their second game of the season 20-11 against the Renegades while the Ducks were nipped 15-14 by the Ramrods. In Tier 2 The Loose Cannons upset Average Joe’s 14-10 and trounced the Calm Batters 16-4 to pull into a tie for first. VIIC Vikings had their bats working as they bombarded the Joe’s 23-6. Alicia McCotter homered for the Vikings and their ladies combined for at least 15 hits between them in the lopsided win over Average Joe’s. The Vikings also won a nail-biter 13-12 against the Peanut Gallery. Sauced won both of their contests, 15-7 over Billy D’s Benchwarmers and 20-8 over Peanuts. Average Joe’s rallied in the second game of their doubleheader, winning 15-9 over the Benchwarmers. One other game played was

a 12-12 tie between the Peanut Gallery and Calm Batters. The Wrecks continue to roll in Tier 3 play, getting by the Zombies 10-8 and outscoring the Rats 18-14. The Malfunctions are keeping pace as they edged the Griffin Ball Busters 15-14 and were 16-11 winners over the Contenders. Komox Grind played a double with the Rats nipping them 15-14 in the first game and doubling them 12-6 in the second. The Grind were beaten by the C.V.

Marine Misfits 13-12 in their other contest. The Contenders were all over the Misfits 23-13 while the Ball Busters were on the losing end again, 13-9 against the Zombies. The Pacers continue to lead Tier 4, knocking off the Slippery Kittens 20-11 and hanging on 13-10 with the Avengers who rallied after being down 11-1. Chuck Smith pitched his first game ever for the Avengers. Mike Benjamin belted out a pair of homers including a grand slam

and Brayden Bennett Jr. smacked one as well as the Avengers topped Walkers Optional 22-15. Tee Box Ballers were defeated 18-16 by the TULS but rebounded for an 18-7 victory over the Coco Loco’s. Karissa Corner, a pickup from the Avengers, homered for the Ballers. Weavers Leather EZ Ryders also won 18-7 over the winless Loco’s.

DEATHS

Reginald Ian Grahame May 19, 1947 – May 21, 2014

Reginald Ian Grahame, age 67 passed away on May 21, 2014 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox BC. Born May 19, 1947, dad spent most of his life on Vancouver Island, where he started a drywall company and then bought Marocchi grocery. He also worked for BC Ambulance and was a volunteer fire fighter for Cumberland fire dept. Dad had a great sense of humour and a contagious laugh which could be heard miles away! He loved his family very much. He is survived by his daughter Tammie Miller (Brad) and his son Lyle Grahame, sister Elaine, and nieces and nephews and grandchildren. I would like to send a special thank you to Clayton and Dr. Hammond at St. Joseph’s Hospital and a special thank you to Cathy Thomson and Bonnie Kelly! A celebration of life will be held at the Masonic Hall in Cumberland, BC on Tuesday June 17, 2014 from 11am to 1pm.

Wendy J. Thompson- Gibson

IN MEMORIAM

JOHN Sawyer’s memorial picnic and summer solstice party will be on June 22, 2014 under his beloved bamboo. Friends and family are warmly welcome to attend. For more info and directions please call Suzanne at 250-337-5906.

May 15, 1965 – June 5,2014 Wendy was born in Vancouver BC and passed away peacefully after a 21 month battle with cancer at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. She is survived by her son Calvin, husband Rick, parents Gordon and Sally, sisters Tracey (Russ) and Meg (Mike), brother in laws Peter and Ally (Leah), Calvin’s father Gary, and a large extended family. Wendy spent her youth skiing at the family cabin at Whistler and enjoying many family summer vacations throughout BC. After attending university, Wendy chose a profession in Occupational Therapy. For almost 20 years Wendy was a highly respected occupational therapist in the Comox Valley. As clinician, leader, mentor and educator, she made a difference in the lives of many; her patients and their families, the teams she worked with and laterally led, and the students she guided and mentored. She played an integral role in developing specialized services for seniors on Vancouver Island and in particular in the Comox Valley and North Island communities. She was passionate about spending time with her family and her friends and loved to cook and ski. She also took the extra minute to ensure that everyone was “OK”. Wendy’s happy place was Splash Mountain in Disneyland. She enjoyed various cruise vacations, trips to Mexico, wine tours, camping trips and boating trips to Desolation Sound. Wendy, Rick and Calvin spent their winters on Mount Washington where she was active in the alpine ski club. She just simply loved to ski. Her mountain home brought her much joy and was the place where she developed her passion for cooking. Following her diagnosis, she battled through 32 rounds of chemotherapy yet still enjoyed a return trip to Disneyland, relished three ski trips in BC where she was able to cheer for her son Calvin on the ski race course. Wendy even skied off her season pass this past winter!! Many thanks and deep appreciation to Dr. Wainberg and the other doctors, oncologists, surgeons, nurses and health care workers who were all integral members of Wendy’s health care team. Service will be June 21, 2014 at 1pm at Comox Valley Funeral Home on Ryan Road in Courtenay. No flowers please, donations in Calvin’s name to Mark Isfeld School Terry Fox Run September 2014. Her ashes will be spread in various places at a later date, possibly even at her “happy place!”

POOLE, ALICE CATHERINE In loving memory of Alice Pool (nee Clark) who passed away peacefully on June 7 at Cumberland Lodge. She is survived by her sister Florence Bell of Cumberland, John Clark of Richmond, sons Harold (Jackie), Doug (Sheryl), grandchildren; Marley, Sarah, Randy and great grandson Mason. Alice was dearly loved and will be dearly missed. At a later date a private family ceremony will take place at Cumberland Municipal Cemetery where her urn will be placed next to her husband Roy. For those wishing, donations in Alice’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, P.O. Box 1225, Comox, BC, V9N 7Z8 would be appreciated.

COTTREAU, JUDY ALICE April 28, 1967 – June 6, 2014

Judy passed away peacefully at home, under the care of her loving husband, Tony. She was born in Sudbury, ON and lived in Merritt, and Edmonton before her family settled in Mission, BC. There she met her Tony in 1990, and followed his military service to Trenton, Moose Jaw, and finally Comox. Judy was rarely seen without a smile or her laughter. She was a caring soul at heart and always found time for volunteering whether it was hot lunches at Ecole Robb Road while her kids attended there, or her extensive efforts for the local Girl Guide units. Judy’s interest in Genealogy led her to trace her family tree and ultimately visit the birthplace in Normandy, France of Jean Marie Cottreau, the first Cottreau to arrive in Canada in the 1790s. She loved her Corgi dogs and they gained their names from Judy’s other passion – the legend of the medieval King Arthur. Judy was predeceased by her brother Brad. She is survived by her husband Tony Edmundson, daughter Kimberley, son Spencer, parents Raymond and Josephine Cottreau Mission, brothers Brian Mission, Tom (Kerry) Abbotsford, sisters Debbie (Clay) Mellis Abbotsford, Catherine (Murray) Desmarais Surrey, Beverley (Gary) Devison Ft McMurray and the following nieces and nephews; Andrew Cottreau Mission, William Cottreau Coquitlam, Jennifer (Jayson) Piesche, Jake Piesche Fort Langley, Natasha & Malcolm Desmarais Surrey, Erick (Kaylee) Cottreau, Ryan Devison Fort McMurray AB, Andrew Edmundson, Julie (Mike) Woods Fort Saskatchewan AB, Tristan, Dustin (Chelsey), Amourin, & Robin Edmundson of Medicine Hat AB A celebration of Judy’s life was held on Wednesday, June 11th at Comox Valley Funeral Home, Cremation and Reception Centre. Donations may be made in her name to; the Canadian Cancer Society or the Girl Guides of Canada.
