The gravesite of Ginger Goodwin was covered with flowers at Saturday’s vigil at the Cumberland Cemetery during Miners Memorial Weekend. The annual event commemorates fallen workers, labour history and contemporary labour issues. Albert “Ginger” Goodwin was one of the country’s first labour organizers. His murder, at the hands of a hired private policeman outside Cumberland, sparked Canada’s first general strike.

Despite high gas prices at the pumps, Comox Valley motorists can claim they have the lowest gas prices in the province — for now. As of Wednesday, prices across the region were posted at 129.9 cents per litre, a price which Jason Toews, Gasbuddy.com co-founder, calls “pretty cheap.” “Other places nearby, such as Campbell River, have prices at 137.9,” he added. Stations in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland claimed some of the highest prices, sitting at 154.9 per litre. Toews’ website is dedicated to tracking gas prices and trends across Canada and the U.S., and he attributes the lower Valley prices to Costco’s impact in the community. “They are really aggressive in their pricing, and they’ve forced
all of the competition to compete,” he explained. “They lower their prices as far as they have to go to be the cheapest, and other stations are saying ‘no — we’re not going to let you beat us.’” Toews said although other communities – both on Vancouver Island and across the province – have Costco stores, they are not nearly as aggressive with their pricing as they are in the Valley. “In Victoria, it’s a bigger region, there are more gas stations and many are higher than Costco,” he added. Additionally, consumers in Metro Vancouver pay a ninecent transit tax, which is incorporated into the price at the pump. Victoria has a 3.5-cent municipal fuel tax. Despite political uncertainty in Iraq and the Middle East, Toews noted Canada does not use oil at the pumps from those countries, but pump price is influenced by world market prices.

Ottawa approves Enbridge pipeline project By Tom Fletcher Black Press
The federal Conservative government has approved Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, despite widespread opposition in B.C. that includes the provincial government, First Nations, environmental organizations and residents of the intended oil tanker port of Kitimat. Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford signalled the government’s approval in a low-key statement Tuesday that endorsed the 209 conditions imposed by a federal review. Rickford noted that the proponent still needs to consult with aboriginal communities and secure provincial permits. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is
Correction Stage 3 water restrictions for areas serviced by Comox Lake ended Tuesday at 4:30 p.m., not June 25 as reported in “Low water levels could force shutdown” in Tuesday’s Comox Valley Record. BC Hydro will continue its maintenance work until June 25, but water restrictions have now returned to Stage 1. We apologize for any confusion this error may have caused. The CVRD urges the public to regularly check http://www. comoxvalleyrd.ca/ restrictions for water restriction updates.

But a continuing battle over the pipeline plan is expected in the courts, and potentially on the land, where civil disobedience has already been threatened. Opposition demands to reject the project dominated question period in the House of Commons Tuesday. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair called the review panel process “a sham,” and Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen warned that opposition in B.C. may upset plans to develop liquefied natural gas exports in the province.

Local youth program celebrates milestone Renee Andor

Record Staff
Ten years ago, Wendy Kotilla started a program merging restorative justice and ecological restoration in the Comox Valley. Now, as Kotilla’s Youth and Ecological Restoration (YER) program celebrates its 10th anniversary, 250 youth have completed phase one of the program, and a further 24 have completed phase two. “It feels really good,” Kotilla says of working with youth in the program. “I feel like I kind of helped them along their journey. I ran into a youth (after he completed the program) … and he said it changed his life — it was the start of him getting on a good path in his life — and that was just such an affirmation of the work that I’m doing.” Youth, (aged 12 to 18), having trouble connecting with school, community and employment, can participate in phase one of the program. Kotilla works oneon-one doing ecological restoration activities with each participant for 20 hours. Some examples of activities include salmon enhancement, habitat restoration, watershed assessment and monitoring and community environmental education. Phase two sees two youth who have completed phase one work with Kotilla and a community member to build on skills gained in phase one, focusing on a specific project. Kotilla notes the program began with about 50 per cent of youth participating as part of mandatory community service hours. But, now just 10 per cent participate as part of community service. “It’s become more of an early intervention thing, for getting youth on the right

Photo Submitted track, rather than when they’re already in trouble,” she says, adding participants generally warm to the program partway through. “They’re uncertain in the beginning lots of times and then by about halfway through they’re feeling a lot more comfortable working with me.” Participants also work with various organizations, ranging from local groups like the Morrison Creek Streamkeepers, Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society and Comox Valley Project Watershed Society, to larger organizations like BC Hydro, and government agencies like the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Transportation.
YER anniversary celebration details The Youth and Ecological Restoration program celebrates its 10th anniversary at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 25 at Zocalo Café in Courtenay. Tapas and cake will be served at 6 p.m., followed by a slideshow at 7 p.m. and presentations from two past youth participants, as well as
longtime program supporter Doug Hillian, Ministry of Children and Families director of practise for the Central and North Island and Courtenay councillor. Anyone who has been involved with YER is invited to attend. Donations will be accepted to help cover costs of the celebration.

“The key thing is building relationships with people in the community and with the natural world,” continues Kotilla. “You bring the youth together with elders in the community and there is this role modelling going on, this mentoring, and it increases the youth’s view of our community.” YER is funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Participants are referred to the program, many by their school. Visit www.youthecology.ca for more information, or contact Wendy Kotilla at 250-336-8487.

Gas: No major increase expected Continued from A1 “If Canadian oil companies can make more money by sending their crude oil to France — a country which usually gets oil from Iraq — then they will do that, and that pushes up the world price.” Despite entering summer driving season, Toews predicts there shouldn’t be a major increase in pump prices across B.C., although the Comox Valley may see an increase. “The increase is already here, but prices might fluctuate another two to four cents. There might be some regional fluctuation, and the price could go up in Courtenay because gas is cheaper,” he explained.
COMOX VALLEY CHAMBER
He added if the political landscape in the Middle East deteriorates further, “then all bets are off. There could be major increases to the price of gas. There’s a lot of uncertainty with what’s going to happen politically.” ••• Have rising gas prices affected your summer travel plans? Have you had to change or cancel trips because of the cost of fuel, or do you think prices at the pump will drop or remain the same throughout the summer?

Council approves tree removal at Cumberland school Renee Andor Record Staff
Despite recent concerns about trees slated to be cut, Cumberland council gave the official go-ahead needed for the Cumberland school merging project to move forward. Council voted last week to adopt a bylaw to close and dispose of the section of Ulverston Avenue between Egremont Road and First Street, running between the elementary and junior schools. The Comox Valley School District plans to turn the road into green space with playground equipment as part of the project to merge the two schools into a learning campus by September. Part of the plan includes removing a number of trees from the east side of the property next to the elementary school to create space for a drop-off and pick-up loop. About 40 trees were marked, and some students and community members expressed concern about cutting down trees on the site. School district representatives attended last week’s council meeting and said five of the trees slated for removal are big, healthy trees, but many are
small and unhealthy.

Visually impaired rider speaks to Council on transit issue Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Motorists might only require 15 minutes to reach their destination, but transit users, especially those with a disability, at times need an hour or more to get around the Comox Valley, Michael McLellan told Courtenay council last month. “I am a person with a disability who takes transit at least six days a week,” said McLellan, a visually-impaired resident who considers transit an essential service. “It took us a long time to build up our transit system to where it is today. I feel it is majorly important to continue to improve the transit system in order to keep the level of ridership high.” He says half of busstop activity occurs at 10 of the 280 stops in the Valley, seven in Courtenay. The top three are at the intersection of Cliffe Avenue and Fourth Street, Driftwood Mall and North Island College. BC Transit officials spoke about the final phases of a Comox Valley Transit Future Plan last week at council and at regional district committee of the whole. The 25-year plan identifies key corridors and considers other factors such as the physical benefits of walking to and from a
bus stop. It also notes that motorists spend $8,000 to $14,000 per year to run a vehicle while transit users fork out $635 a year to take the bus. Courtenay Coun. Starr Winchester feels Valley transit can be delivered more efficiently without yearly tax hikes. Year after year, she has advocated for smaller buses. “It’s a huge issue for Courtenay residents,” she said. “I’ve lived here 64 years. I’ve never seen a full bus.” McLellan agrees buses could be smaller than currently used but larger than handyDART vehicles. Daniel Pizarro, senior regional transit manager at BC Transit, said the cost of a smaller, light duty bus is less expensive than running a larger bus. “We hope through this process you see a mixed fleet,” he told council.

The CVRD would like to put more people on local buses. Michael Zbarsky, manager of transit and sustainability, notes boardings per hour are a little below that of peer communities. The goal of the Future Plan is to increase ridership in a cost-effective manner, and to align with the region’s town centres. Public feedback indicates overwhelming support for a Frequent Transit Network where service every 15 minutes at peak times would connect key centres of Cumberland, Driftwood Mall/Anfield Centre, downtown

nicians parachute to the base. “It just so happens that I came in the female form. It’s one hundred per cent (equal ground).” The air force para-rescue specialists are responsible for saving the lives of Canadians every year in a variety of situations over land and sea. Barker said she knew she wanted to join the trade from and early age. “(My dad’s) military. I’ve always been to air shows growing up. I always knew what the orange was and I’ve always known about it since I was a little girl,” she noted. “If you like adventure... and I like medicine – that’s my passion – so it seems like where I was supposed to be.” She added she was initially unsure if she was ready to apply to the program, which sees students attend a gruelling 11-month training course for rescue in remote, inaccessible areas of Canada for the purpose of rendering immediate and life-sustaining medical care to casualties. “I remember when I saw pictures I thought that would be neat to do and wasn’t sure if I could do it, but like they always say, you put your mind to anything and you can achieve it,” she said. Each year, about 24 to 30 personnel are selected to attend a pre-selection course, and from there 12 to 16 students attend training to become SARTechs. Now posted to Greenwood, N.S., Barker said she wants to hone her skills and eventually give back to the program. “I definitely want to be back at the school (for instructing). Just seeing what these guys do, I’d love to have a shot at that. “For now, I know a little bit about a lot, and now I have to go and fill in those pieces.” photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

It’s been in Comox for more than 10 years, and it won’t be much longer until the Roseland (Y2-K) Spitfire will take flight. Earlier this month, representative Terry Chester and Jon Ambler, program manager and volunteer co-ordinator of the Comox Air Force Museum, announced the Second World War plane could take to the skies in late 2015 with help from Vintage Wings of Canada, a non-profit organization based in Gatineau, QC. which collects and restores historically significant aircraft. “We’re in an exciting transition stage for this aircraft,” said Chester. The wings for the iconic plane were built in the United Kingdom, and the plane, which has taken residence for years in a hanger on the far side of the Comox Airport, will be moved to the Gatineau facility. The reconstruction of the Spitfire has been a popular exhibit at the Comox Air Force Museum since 2000, when the museum used a Heritage Grant to begin the project. “…With volunteers... they took those pieces of wreckage ... and gradually started to build the airplane,” said Ambler, and added an analysis was done in 2008 which highlighted the resources were not in Comox to complete the project. The project was then assumed by Vintage Wings, and recently, Col. Jim Benninger, 19 Wing Commander, signed an update to the original contract allowing the plane to be moved to Gatineau. The move will allow technicians to attach the wings, complete test flights, ensure airworthiness and paint the aircraft in its distinctive 442 Squadron colours, featuring the Y2-K call letters “When finished, it will be the best built Spitfire in the world, and only one of two in North America,” Chester said.

Grafting tomato plants offers benefits W
ell...I promised more this column about the new tomato plant I am growing this year, the grafted tomato. As I mentioned, I have been reading about these for a few years now. Grafting tomatoes sounds a little crazy, doesn’t it? Imagine slicing through the stem of a young seedling and attaching it to the stem of another seedling. Anyone who handles seedlings knows how risky this can be. Would you believe the Japanese and Koreans have been grafting vegetables since the 1920s? They started with melons, using the stronger squash varieties as root stock. Their aim was to boost fruit production for greenhouse growing. Nowadays, growers are also grafting squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers...and tomatoes. And they are using machines to do it! Mind-boggling. As you can imagine, it is an expensive operation. But the benefits include strong growth, as well as a hardiness towards soil-borne diseases (such as early and late blight for tomatoes) and harmful nematodes. Plus increased fruit yield. With late blight running rampant in our region, a resistant tomato is a godsend. We do love our tomatoes...based on it being one of the top-grown vegetable varieties in the garden. So what grafted variety did I select? One of the newest in the blue tomato lineup...Indigo Apple. Well, technically, the skin of the fruits will ripen to a deep purple-black colour. (Not really sure where the term “blue” tomato came from.) The Indigo line began with Indigo Rose coming onto the market in 2012. Indigo Blue Beauty followed with Indigo Blue Berries and Indigo Apple coming available this year. All of these are open-pollinated varieties. Indigo Kumquat is the lone F1 hybrid. Vegetable breeders at Oregon State University (OSU) embarked on a breeding program to increase the anthocyanin levels in tomatoes as a means of increasing the fruit’s antioxidant potential. (Remember: tomatoes are a favourite food

crop.) Their aim: a new, healthy food choice in the battle against cancer. Actually, the very beginnings of this particular breeding began sometime in the 1960s. A couple of breeders cross-pollinated wild species from the Galapagos Islands and Chile with cultivated tomato varieties. While many tomato species contain anthocyanins in their stems and leaves, only some wild species have these flavonoids in their fruits. By the way...the

breeders at OSU are using totally appropriate hybridizing methods. Israeli scientists also used conventional breeding methods in developing their anthocyanin-boosted black tomato, Black Galaxy. But genetic engineering is not to be left out of this latest attempt to increase human health. British scientists have used gene splicing methods and snapdragon genes to up the anthocyanin levels in their chosen tomato. The colour in their tomato extends beyond the skin and into the fruit. (Tomatoes in the Indigo series are red inside.) The discerning fact I have uncovered is this GM tomato is currently being grown on a farm in Ontario.

grocery shelves. They will be promoting it as a healthy food choice. Also disturbing... approval for growing this British-bred GM tomato has not been granted in the UK. According to Professor
Martin, “I can’t stress enough how enlightened the Canadian regulatory process towards these types of [genetically modified] foods is - it has truly been fantastic.” (National Post; January 27, 2014.) Back to my grafted Indigo Apple tomato plant...assuredly, this variety is non-GMO. And its first tomato has already appeared... before the middle of June!

PLASTERED THROUGH YOUR
paper for the past week or so is the male porn of “Thunder Down Under”, showing beefy studs with bare chests and thrusting pelvises. Okay, I admit my abs resemble a keg more than their six-packs, but jealously is not my point. Why is it seemingly okay to use such sexist phrases as “thrilled screaming women”, “testosterone fuelled”, “looks better with his clothes off than on”, “getting sponged off with the help of an audience member”? Think about the frenzy that would erupt if the Sid were to host a wet Tshirt contest with the biggest boobs or the sweetest buns awarded the prize? If men were invited to dump buckets on the girls, then towel them dry? The political police would be out in force, I assure you. So what make this so different? Genitalia?
THANK YOU TO the wonderful
and caring people of Courtenay! After an unplanned bike accident on 20th street, my wife and I were so touched with the number of caring and concerned drivers that took the time to check on us. We especially want to express our gratitude to the person who administered first aid to us. Coming from the city and on our vacation, it was refreshing to know such a community exists. We will visit again (maybe less bicycles).
THE “SONGS OF JOY” concert in

joy we experienced was “out of this world.” Never in my life time have I experienced such an outpouring of musical talent as was presented. The enthusiasm of all participants was irresistible. The choir director took this musical group to a height which seldom can be found. From the beginning to the end it was pure joy to see and hear the beautiful renditions done with such a rapture for life. We all should be proud of this local initiative of starting a choir some 20 years ago that has such a positive influence on many young participants. Extremely well done and I am looking forward to the next performance.
A BIG THANK you to local busi-
nesses, organizations and individuals who generously donated door prizes for the Comox Valley Council of Canadians annual Oh Canada! Team Trivia Night: Marigold Pharmacy, The Zocalo Cafe, Edible Island, Pharmasave, Lush Valley, Natural Pastures Cheese Company, Twisted Dishes, World Community, Gwyn Frayne, Linda Safford, Kathie Woodley and Sue Smith. It was a fun-filled evening that supports the work of the Chapter to promote positive social, economic and environmental change in the Comox Valley.
TO THE PROTESTING “student’s” who were pictured in the paper with their signs. Maybe you should stay in class instead of protesting. Then you might learn how to use an apostrophe.

A thousand ways to eat lettuce Special to The Record It’s salad season! But not just any old salad, an amazing variety of greens can be grown here in the Comox Valley and the Farmers’ Market is bursting with lettuces of every variety: red oak leaf, blushed butter oak, drunken woman frizzy head (really), blushed butter head or butter crunch (a cross between romain and butter lettuce). Gone are the days of the hard ball of iceberg; many of our farmers have cultivated a well-deserved respect for the not so humble (anymore) lettuce family and are bringing beautiful bundles to market this time of year. And local chefs are eager to work with them.

Lettuce is not only versatile, it is a source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, calcium and iron; choose the darker varieties for more nutrients per serving. And did you know, the white fluid that you see when you break or cut lettuce leaves is called lactucarium? This has relaxing and sleep-inducing properties similar to opium but without the strong side effects. Simply eat a few leaves or drink some lettuce juice. So what to do with all those greens? The Comox Valley Farmers’ Market is hosting its monthly food fest this week and the vendors have donated a variety of lettuces and other greens for our guest chefs to play with.

It could be a long summer
T
hey say the key to good comedy is timing. The same could be said of labour action. The BC teachers strike, which began in full Tuesday, is an example of questionable timing. It appears to be a gamble, that may not pay off. The strike is taking place at a time when students are normally preparing for final exams. This is a time when some children have the most need of a teacher’s help. Classes designed around reviewing the year’s curriculum will be lost and while the government has assured that exams will go on, you have to wonder if the students are properly prepared to take those tests. If the teachers were hoping that a mid-June strike would provide the needed pressure to bring a quick end to the dispute, they appear to be mistaken. On Monday talks collapsed between the two parties and the strike is on. Now comes the waiting game. With negotiations stalled and the school year winding down, the pressure to sign a new deal will soon evaporate. If the strike continues into July, why would either side feel the need to make concessions? What will result is two long months of speeches, sabre-rattling and rhetoric as both sides claim to be fighting for a just cause. Worse is the fact that parents, and the general public, will begin to lose interest as normal summer vacation activities begin. With no pressure to make a deal, the strike could linger. Then comes September. There is no justifiable reason to let this strike continue into another school year, but unless something happens soon, the possibility of it carrying into the fall term is very real, indeed. The time to make the deal is now, otherwise both sides can expect a long summer and possibly, a volatile autumn. – Nelson Star
Record Question of the Week This week: Has the ongoing battle between public school teachers and the government made you re-think your child’s school options (i.e. independent schools)? 58.2% say yes. Next week: Are you happy with the federal government’s approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal? visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll.
The Comox Valley has the lowest gas prices in the province, with pumps sitting at less than $1.30 as of Wednesday morning.

Schools get an F in labour management S
o, the teachers go out on strike and everybody is asked to take sides. With social media that becomes even more imperative as supporters and detractors alike post OUT ON A strongly-worded opinions about the situation. LISTAIR I find it interesting how there’s an AYLOR element of armtwisting to their statements: “The teachers need our support because they’re fighting for our children’s education...” or: “Send those blasted teachers back to work, give me their salary, I’d take it...and the two months off in the summer to boot!” There’s no middle ground. There’s nobody saying, “Does anybody feel the teachers are being shafted by the government or should they really be content with what they’ve got? Does anybody have any feelings on this? I’m having a hard time knowing just what to think.” No seeing both sides of the situation or being undecided because there may be valid points in either camp. Nope, “yer either fer us or agin’ us.” Is our education system a
A T
bleeding mess? Well, no actually. Our education system is actually pretty good. It’s not the best but it’s far from the worst. In fact, according to one website, Educate Every Child on the Planet, Canada LIMB has the ninth best educational system on the planet (seventh in another ranking). Ninth. Now, of course, that’s a national average, given that Canada has 13 educational jurisdictions. Could it be better? Yes, of course it could be better. Should we be content with ninth? Well, no of course not. But the world isn’t going to end. So, what thoughts do I have about the strike? First of all, full disclosure, my kids have been and are home-schooled (but through the provincial education system, so we are affected by the strike). But what occurs to me with the strike is how labour strife only seems to affect our public institutions these days. Maybe it’s because, on the North Island, we no longer have a unionized major employer (the pulp and paper mill) but it seems like the only people battling it out on picket lines are public sector employees. Private sector work-
ers have long had to deal with market realities and settle for a lot less. Public sector workers still have the ability to wield the walk out stick to further their aims. But they lose a lot on the moral ground if they strike. It’s not just shut down the mill and deprive the employer of income. Teacher strikes threaten a student’s educational year. It’s another one of those situations where we need to know how much is enough? How much does a quality educational system cost? And if that is important to us, then we need to tell government to buck up. If it isn’t, if keeping our taxes down to a certain level is more important, then quit complaining about the poor education system we have. You get what you pay for. The big problem with this is, whether a settlement is negotiated or imposed, either way, we’re probably going to have to go through this again. The biggest failing of our education system is the F we get for our inability to run our schools without educators and administrators butting heads regularly.

Principal bids a fond farewell to Cumberland Junior Dear editor, As I sail off into the sunset to join the dinosaurs and retire from SD71 I would like to express my thanks both to the district as a whole but especially to the village of Cumberland. I have greatly enjoyed being a principal in the Comox Valley and despite the present awkward situation have always enjoyed the relationship I have had with
the teachers on staff. The staff at Cumberland Junior are excellent and it has been an enjoyable end to 39 years in education. As partners, we have strived to provide the best education possible for the students at Cumberland Junior and I believe it has worked. The parents and the community have always been there to
support us and I will miss your honesty and friendship. As Cumberland continues to expand and develop I wish you all the best. Soon I will be able to enjoy having a beer, drinking a coffee or having a meal anytime, anyday in a village that I have been proud to work in. Thank you. Philip Maund

Complainer was wrong on all counts Dear Editor, In a recent “Have Your Say” an ex-aircraft maintainer was sickened that $3 million was spent on a “relatively stagnant Air Force Museum” by some elitists. He is completely wrong in all his statements, and I write to correct them. Firstly, the $3 million in question was spent by Vintage Wings of Canada, a not-for-profit group that owns the Roseland Spitfire, which they are restoring to flying condition. It was not spent on the Comox Air Force Museum. Secondly, the museum, an offi-
Cactus the only affordable plant these days Dear Editor, Thanks to Marc Rutten and his policies it has now come to this. Water is now in such short supply and so expensive for the residents in Area B, that I am
now growing cactus in planters outside as a means of saving water. We are living in one of the wettest places in North America by the way, but we are

Derelict houses a sore sight for eyes Dear editor, Driving or biking from Comox to Courtenay, I can’t help but wonder why our Regional Board officials allow the parking of Nickel Brothers’ derelict houses along this pretty stretch of road. Nickel Brothers may own the property, but should this really be permitted? I say not on your life!
If they are going to offload these buildings in this location, they should be required to move them to a less sensitive location within days, not years as seems to be the case. The other eyesore on the Dyke Road, the La Farge cement tower was removed, thankfully, a few years ago, and it is time that the regulations regarding
the Nickel Bros. property were changed to clean up this ongoing assault on our eyesight. Ask yourself, would Qualicum, Parksville or Campbell River put up with this nonsense on their city entrance? I think not! Bill Morrison Comox
cial RCAF museum, is far from stagnant: over the past six years fully 80 per cent of the displays have been extensively upgraded, earning rave reviews from tens of thousands of visitors from around the world and museum professionals alike. The Comox Air Force Museum is open to the public from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. every day except Monday. Admission is by donation. Come in and see your Air Force heritage for yourself.

Shellfish festival leaves former fan bitter
Dear Editor, Last year we enjoyed very much the activities associated with the Shellfish Festival which was held in the open area of the Comox Marina. There were crowds of people enjoying the music and other entertainers, the food carts and the boat rides. The oyster shucking and the chowder were just the best ever! This year for some strange reason the Comox Valley development group has in their wisdom moved the event to the Filberg Lodge and we have seen ads in the paper searching for ‘volunteers’ to sell tickets at the gate and to make
sure that only rich people who can afford the $15 per head can get in. What a joke and a disaster this will prove to be. I bet that there will be many calls afterwards to have future events like this held in the open area where public access is unrestricted. I know that we personally will NOT attend the festival this year. While we support the Filberg Lodge this is not the way to stage an event that is intended to be for the people of the Valley as well as the visitors who come here.

Mavericks here to party
Reunion tour turns into full-time gig for band closing the show at Vancouver Island MusicFest Terry Farrell Record Staff
A couple of years ago, The Mavericks announced a reunion tour, with a few festival dates. Two years later, the band is still on tour, and has just finished recording its second full-length album in the past 15 months. So much for easing back into things. “It’s one of those things – be careful what you wish for,” said lead singer Raul Malo. “You know, you want it to go well; you want to stay busy and all that, and all of a sudden it’s happening and you’re really caught up in it. But it’s fantastic. We just made another record, that will be released
in early spring next year, so we don’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. We’re loving every minute of it.”
Having fun on stage Seeing them on stage, when they close the three-day Vancouver Island MusicFest on July 13, will attest to how much fun they are having. Malo is the affable frontman for the band. He will be smiling when he comes on-stage, and it’s highly unlikely that he’ll stop smiling until the show is over. He and his bandmates – drummer Paul Deakin, multi-instrumentalist Robert Reynolds (the three founding members) as well

Break served band well
The time apart served the band well. From solo projects, to raising families, to personal growth, Malo, Deakin, Reynolds and Perez (who originally joined the band in 2003) all returned refreshed and invigorated. They added session keyboardist McFadden as a full-time member, and all is good. Great, actually. “The reaction from the fans has just been amazing,” said Malo.

Wave hosting jump park fundraiser Submitted The Waverley Hotel has partnered with the United Riders of Cumberland (UROC) to host an evening of great food, wicked tunes and a ton of cool swag, all to raise funds for a new mountain bike jump park in Cumberland. On June 28, the Waverley will donate five dollars from every meal served to UROC, which hopes to raise $5,000 at the event. There will also be more than $4,000 worth of items available via silent auction, including a set of Race Face carbon fibre cranks and a 2014 Rocky Mountain Flow dirt jump bike valued at $1,200. The evening will also feature food and drink specials, lots of mountain bike videos and live music by the Poor Pistols, an
energetic bluegrass band from Tofino. Doors open at 6 p.m., the auction goes to 11 p.m. and entrance is by donation, with all proceeds going toward the jump park. The United Riders of Cumberland have been working with the Village of Cumberland on developing a jump park since the Village identified it as a desirable feature in its recent Village Parks Master Plan. “We’re still working to establish firm timelines, but we’re working toward a goal of starting construction in fall of 2014,” says UROC president Mike Manara, adding that he’s excited to be working with local bike park designer Adam Dyke on the project. “What we’re trying to showcase is something a little bit unique, not just your standard OPEN LATE

features that you see at a lot of jump parks,” says Manara, adding that the park’s preliminary design received encouraging feedback at a public forum in March. “The goal of the park is to help riders develop their core skills of cornering and jumping, so we’re going to see a real flowy, ‘pump track’ design that will feature two lines – one for beginners and one for advanced riders. “We’re also going to look at a secondary skills area where riders can practise on some of the features they might encounter out on the trails,” he adds. The Waverley Hotel is located at 2692 Dunsmuir Ave. in Cumberland. To learn more about UROC, including information about volunteering or becoming a member, visit www.unitedridersofcumberland.com.

Mavericks: Fans embracing new material Continued from B1 “They have fallen in love with the new music and this new era of The Mavericks. It’s funny - some of our new stuff even seems to get a better reaction than some of the older hits. There’s something to be said for that, and that’s a rare thing. Usually everyone wants to hear the old songs [All you ever do is Bring Me Down and Dance the Night Away come to mind] – and of course we still do those, we play them - but it’s nice to have that feedback from the public.”
Broad appeal The Mavericks have a sound that transcends any single musical genre. While they have enjoyed the majority of their commercial success on the various country charts, their sound can be just as welcome at a folk or blues festival as it is with the ‘twostep and twang’ crowds. Malo said that although that sounds advantageous, it has its setbacks as well. “It does (create opportunities) but in other ways it kind of hinders you, because the industry is so regimented and has such (staunch) partitions. They don’t like you to do more than one thing: This is what you do and this is what you have to do for the rest of your lives. “We never subscribed to that. I love all kinds of music… I love that we have been able to forge
Ska twinbill at Waverley There’s a reggae/ ska double bill at the Waverley Hotel on Friday: Giraffe Aftermath and Burnt. Giraffe Aftermath is the adopted reggae child of Vancouver, and since the band’s formation in 2006, they have steadily gained their standing as one of the province’s top dubreggae acts. In recent years they added two jazz musicians filling out their sound with the addition of trumpet and saxophone. For the past nine years, Burnt has been bumping their soulful blend of reggae, ska, punk and hip-hop music at venues large and small across the west coast of North America. Building on the D.I.Y traditions of many punk and reggae bands before them, Burnt has managed their own tours - from Tijuana to Vancouver, and independently released six albums of original material. Tickets are $12 and available at Bop City, the Waverley Hotel, 250- 336-8322 or online at cumberlandvillageworks.com.
ahead and make our own way.” Malo credited the band’s following for giving them the musical freedom to explore new sounds. “The fans are what makes all the difference,” he said. “If the public doesn’t want to hear it, there’s no point to it. “So we are really lucky. I love that freedom and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
Festival mode The Mavericks are in full “festival mode”, with the outdoor concert season in swing. They played at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival at the end of April, will play in Prince Edward Island, at the Cavendish Beach Festival a week before the Courtenay show, and will be in Ottawa the day before hitting the MusicFest stage. Along with their various festival appearances, they have numerous individual gigs – all part of their In Time tour. Malo was hard-pressed to pick a favourite, between the festival atmosphere or the intimate show. “I love a long set in a theatre, where you can throw in the little extra things here and there, whereas a festival set, it’s a little bit shorter, so you have to be more concise,” he said. “But then at a festival you also have a chance to play for a lot of people who might not necessarily be fans of, or even be familiar with, your music.

attention to that and maybe alter the set to try to draw people in who have maybe never heard The Mavericks before.”
Malo said he can comfortably speak on behalf of the entire band when he says that there is nothing better than performing. “I think everybody in the band loves music just about more than anything else,” he said. “The fact that at this stage in our lives, we still get to do this and still make music that matters to a lot of people is a real blessing. We work hard, no doubt, but like Confucius said, choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” As for closing out the weekend at the Vancouver Island MusicFest, The Mavericks will approach it like they approach all their shows. “We want our concerts to be a celebration – just want people to forget about whatever is bothering them, for just a little while, and be entertained,” he said. “We want the audience to walk out of there as exhausted as we will be, and believe me, we will be exhausted at the end of the night. But it’s a good exhaustion, and I want the audience to feel that with us.” Sunday day pass tickets are $99 (plus tax and online ticket fee) and are available online at www.islandmusicfest.com or by calling 250-871-8463.

New director for CYMC Classical Strings Program
The Comox Valley Youth Music Centre (CYMC) welcomes its new director of strings, John Littlejohn, “a violinist adept as soloist, chamber musician, educator and alternative hip-hop artist.” After graduating from the Peabody Institute (MM, GPD) and the University of Michigan (BM), John toured North America and Europe, performing with numerous orchestras, including the Newark Symphony as concert master and the Baltimore Opera Orchestra. “As an alternative hip-hop artist, John performs under the moniker ‘A.d.i.d.a.m.’ which is an acronym for ‘All Day I Dream About Music’. His music is a blend of hiphop, classical, jazz and gospel, threaded together into a refreshingly unique sound.” Joining Littlejohn will be Ben Goheen (cello) from Vancouver and Delandria Mills (flute). Kenji Fuse (viola) returns for a second year from Victoria. The CYMC Classical Strings Program is a week-long course, running from June 29 - July 5. For the first week of July, CYMC string and flute students will dive into master classes, creative workshops and applied theory all designed to equip them with “a strong technical foundation, while simultaneously encouraging them to freely express their creativity through their instruments”. At the end of the week they will put it all together in two evening concerts, Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5. One of the highlights of CYMC’s classical season is the faculty concert, Thursday, July 3. Sarah Hagen (piano), Mike

that while not everyone may want to watch an environmental video, you can watch an exciting snowboard video while still learning about industrial projects and how they might affect B.C. The trio lived in a camperized short-bus for six months and travelled from the coastal rainforests of northern Vancouver Island, to the toxic tailings ponds of the Alberta tar sands, to the snows and rivers of the Sacred Headwaters and beyond. They spoke with farmers, oil workers, First Nation elders, high school kids and everyone

in between. They also ripped lines and caught waves, and filmed anything that moved. “Snowboarders have an innate love for these natural places,” says Campos, who is in the Global Stewardship program at Capilano University. “They play in them all the time, so they should be the ones on the front line defending them. I think it’s almost like our duty. We’re so fortunate to be able to play in these pristine mountains every day, and we need to take that and consider bigger issues.” Admission is by donation and the directors will be available for question and answer afterwards.

Rules around vehicle loads explained ow Wide? How Long? How High? These questions, when asked in relation to vehicles and their loads, probably bring large commercial vehicles to mind for most drivers. The Commercial Transport Regulations do set out the maximum dimensions for commercial vehicles and their loads. The Motor Vehicle Act Regulations take a legal shortcut and apply them and some other provisions to light vehicles too. In general, your vehicle and its load cannot be more than 2.6 m (8’ 6”) wide, 12.5 m (41’) long and 4.15 m (13’ 7”) high. In addition, its load cannot project more than 1 m (3’ 3”) ahead of the front bumper, 1.85 m (6’ 8”) behind the back of the vehicle or 4.5 m (14’ 9”) behind the centre of the last axle. If you are driving something other than a pickup or delivery van, the load cannot be wider than the sides of the vehicle. Things can get quite complicated from here if you add a trailer, are driving a pickup truck or delivery van or are carrying special commodities. Perhaps the simplest way to get advice before you

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!

The luckiest signs this week: Virgo, Libra and Scorpio.
ARIES If your relationship has not been a loving one for a while now, you won’t hesitate to broach the subject with your partner and clarify the situation. TAURUS You show some initiative at work or with your loved one. You know how to take charge of things and in this way you earn a lot of respect. GEMINI It’s possible that your new lover will suggest making a serious com mitment. You may even consider moving in together or starting a family. CANCER You suddenly feel like spoiling your self. You let your friends persuade you to go shopping with them. Take the time to be pampered as well. LEO Whether you’re single or not, a per son in your workplace might make
some advances towards you that won’t leave you feeling indifferent. Consider your next moves carefully. VIRGO Summer will soon be here and you may plan a big trip for you and your family. If you’re travelling by car, don’t forget to take a good road map or GPS with you. LIBRA You are particularly proud of your children’s report cards. You can’t refuse them anything after such a success. Expect them to ask you for the moon, or almost! SCORPIO If your relationship is going through a rather boring period, you won’t mince your words to set things straight. An emotional rebirth is on the horizon.

Recognizing the baby blues M
y daughter just had her first baby and we are thrilled. She and her husband are also happy, but she is quite tired. I realized now that I had baby blues after she was born but I didn’t know what was wrong. I want to make sure that if this happens to her she can get some help. What are the signs that baby blues are happening, and not just normal tiredness? What should we do if we see the signs? Baby blues, or postpartum depression, happens to some mothers (and a few fathers) following the birth of a child. It is normal to feel tired as babies need a lot of around-the-clock care. It is also normal to have many feelings about becoming a parent and about the changes this brings to family members’ lives and relationships. Sad days, moments of feeling overwhelmed, and occasional regrets about the decision to have a baby are common. Some signs that the normal ups and downs of becoming a parent are settling into a pattern of postpartum depression for a new mother can include sadness that doesn’t go away, loss of interest in
things that she used to enjoy, withdrawal from contact with other people, negaancy tive feelings and thoughts ock about the baby, and serious doubts about her worth and ability as a parent. A new mother with postpartum depression may also have trouble with sleep that is not related to baby care and may lose her appetite. If you see the signs that your daughter is struggling there are a number of things you can do to help. As her mother you are in a good position to offer her non-judgmental support and encouragement. You can help her be realistic about her expectations of herself as a new mother. You can offer practical help with household chores and baby care. Since sleep deprivation is one of the things that can contribute to postpartum depression you can work with

other people around her to make sure she gets time to sleep. You can also give your daughter and her husband some time on their own as they have to work out how to be parents together while still enjoying being a couple. If your daughter continues to struggle and you think that she is developing postpartum depression then it is important that she seeks help. Her public health nurse and family doctor are good people to start with. There are also Internet resources. Talking with a counsellor or attending a group for new parents may also help your daughter and her husband work through their feelings about the transition to parenthood. For your part, offering your understanding as a person who has been through a depression and being sensitive to and accepting of her feelings would be helpful. To ask a question of the counsellors, for a response in future columns, e-mail info@pacifictherapy.ca.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD ♦ SPORTS EDITOR: EARLE COUPER ♦ THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 2014
Comox Cup on the line Earle Couper Record Staff
Takin’ it to the Streets. It was a hit song for the Doobie Brothers in 1976, and this year it will again be the underlying theme for the Comox Cup Road Hockey Tournament. As always, there’s guaranteed to be plenty of hits handed out at the 2014 edition of the popular event, which starts Friday, June 20 at 5:30 p.m. and runs through to Sunday, June 22 at 5 p.m. Comox Recreation started the tourney and is putting on the 19th annual version. Recreation programmer Jessie Wallis notes the event will again be held in the parking lot of Marina Park. After being held in previous years at the Comox Rec parking lot and then downtown Comox, the tourney moved to Marina Park last year and it proved to be a great venue. The 2013 event attracted 22 teams (of 18-and-older players) from all over the Island. Mitt Crashers defeated Chanced Grinders to win the A Division (competitive), Hood Ratz knocked off Cougar Snatchers to claim the B Division (recreational/competitive) crown and Road Kill overcame the Courtenay Knights to take C Division (recreational) honours. What’s new this year? “Not much new added, just perfected,” Wallis said. “We will have the Comox Valley Head Injury Society holding a barbecue this year, and we will have the beer gardens run by the Rink Minx roller derby team.” The community is welcome to drop by to enjoy the pavement-pounding road hockey action and take in the breathtaking views that provide the backdrop for all the fun. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Lawn bowlers keep winning Pat Cutt Special to the Record
Those Courtenay lawn bowlers are on a roll. The Seasoil Men’s Triples, a classic event with a large prize pool (to encourage bowlers from the Mainland to participate) was won by the Courtenay team of Vern Greenhill, Henri Saucier and Dean Penny on June 15. These bowlers played 52 ends of three bowls each to take this honour on the third day of the event. Many of the competitors were provincial and national champions – that’s OK, so is Vern. The ladies are not willing to let the men take all the glory. As a balance to events held in the North Island Zone, 2014 is the first year of a Ladies Pairs event hosted by Qualicum LBC, in memory of a very fine lady from that club. Sylvia Gibb tended the gardens at that club, was a major contributor in all aspects of club activities and was still bowling at age 94. Sixteen teams played a winner vs. winner event.

Thursday, June 12 had a full green at home as the Parksville club sent some 20 bowlers to participate in the Courtenay/ Parksville Challenge. Eight games in a variety of formats (singles, pairs, triples and fours) were played in the morning, with Courtenay winning five of those games. The afternoon session of eight games had Parksville winning five, so the end result was a tie, with Courtenay retaining the trophy that they won last year. – Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club

Good turnout for drifting, drags Terry Guest Special to the Record
Season-high car counts in both the drifting and drag racing divisions highlighted racing at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday. Three new drifters joined the program, with a six-car field taking to the track. A Smoke Show competition was added to the card, with former Hornet car racer #21 Gord Fraser burning the most rubber on his ‘69 Chev to take the win. Eleven drag racers took to the strip, ranging from ‘69 Fords to ‘06 Chargers. After a double elimination, #420 Matt Armstrong in his 680-HP ‘05 Mustang GT and #385 Bill Lavoie in his 500-HP ‘06 Charger advanced to the finals, with Armstrong’s extra horses proving to be the deciding factor. #63 James Wilson in his ‘76 F250 finished third. After putting all six drift cars through a double elimination bracket, #26 Alex Davidson and #4 Andrew Otteson found
themselves in the final for the fourth straight round. Due to mechanical issues (no power steering), Davidson had to bow out, giving the win to Otteson after three straight second place-finishes. Second and third place was fought between #14 Kyle Fallowfield and rookie #6 Dustin Taylor. After some tight drifting and a bit of a fender bender, Fallowfield was declared the second place winner, with third going to Taylor and fourth to Davidson. EXTRA LAPS This weekend marks the first appearance of the Wilroc Sprint cars, the fastest cars you will see on Vancouver Island, ranging in times of 13-15 seconds a lap … last year we saw car counts of 12-15 cars, with this year looking to be no different if not better … accompanying the Sprint cars will the I.M.C.A.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.
“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

As Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products.
Question of the Week Four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

Drives-U-Crazy
It’s amazing how many people roll through stop signs, as though they weren’t there. Considering how many people do that it’s more amazing how many slow to a stop or crawl on neighbourhood streets when they approach an intersection where they face no such sign yet the crossroads to their right and left do! – Over courtesy?

and rutted gravel. At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear; it just powered on to the next challenge, which was another surprise; the Atlanta Motorsports Park for an autocross challenge. To say we went from one extreme to the other is an understatement. An hour earlier I was sliding across gravel roads, followed by sliding around a racetrack trying to avoid pylons to dial in my best lap time. As it turns out I did get the second best time of the event but one of those pylons got in the way, knocking down my time by two seconds, all part of the challenge’s rules. Over the three-day event, Alexandra and I didn’t have one disagreement. I made some navigational errors and so did she. We let it roll; these were long days and we hoped a few small glitches wouldn’t impact our score too much. We also missed one major clue in our guidebook, one that was worth a whopping 50 points. At the end, we had slipped from second place after the first day to fifth place. Sadly, next year we won’t be able to proudly display the number one on the side of our Black Press car. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the accompanying crack from the massive flash. Pouring rainmade the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally in our tiny car one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer topdown driving but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of. The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through There is so much the Tennessee mountains on goodness dialed into our way to the Brasstown this little car that it Valley Resort in neighbouring Georgia. rewards the driver Over the next three days, we and passenger hour experienced the MX-5 on after hour. some of the most dramatic and scenic roads this contiZack Spencer nent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money. Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure this year to repeat, something we later found out would be much tougher than we had imagined. If you ever take a drive through the southeast portion of the United States, do yourself a favour and divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush national and state parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys is something to experience. This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon”, a section of highway 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18-kilometre stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders, but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourists; the same way you can buy a picture of your roller coaster ride at the PNE. Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. It never felt like the car was out of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive corners. There is so much goodness dialed into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour after hour. With a front engine, rear drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 has been one of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity. The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L four-cylinder and six-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, it makes the most of every situation. One thing Mazda’s event planners had us do was drive and collect information for each day’s challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel. A surprise was that some sections were unpaved. Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest back-roads at speed, meant rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough

Tips for wet line fly fishing
www.comoxvalleyrecord.com
The Spa at April Point
W
e have enjoyed a long, slow spring, with limited temperature rises for the most part. For fly fishers who fish with wet lines, this has the effect of extending the season when wet flies continue to produce good results. Conversely, extended periods of warm weather have the effect of producing conditions that make a dry fly fisher happy by producing large insect hatches where trout feed on the surface. In truth, it is rarely a cut and dried choice between types of lines used during the day, but rather a blend of both techniques. Most of the time I fish with wet lines for the simple reason I find them much more productive. Chironomids are a large group of mosquito-like insects that are important trout food. In the larval stage they are called blood worms. They are are also eaten as they emerge as adults; but by far the most important stage of their life to trout is in the pupa stage. When a chironomid emerges from the larval stage into the pupa stage and begins a slow journey to the surface of the water where it becomes an adult, it is an easy morsel for a feeding trout. They are not large insects by any measure, yet you can catch very large trout on tiny chironomid patterns. My largest trout on a chironomid pattern was 9-pounds, 2-ounces taken in Plateau Lake. I also had a large trout take my line down to the end of the backing and break off in Peterhope Lake. I netted a 14-pounder taken on #12 brown chironomid pattern for a fellow angler in Pass Lake. These are like small chinook or large coho. My largest fish taken on a #16 chironomid pattern in Spider Lake weighed over 3-pounds, 8-ounces. The broad selection of flies tied in the pupa stage are generally referred to as chironomid patterns. When you consider there are over 1,000 species of chironomids in our waters you get some idea of the huge selection of patterns available. There are two basic methods of fishing these patterns. One is with a strike indicator on a floating line and

Ralph Shaw the other is with wet line. This column will be about wet line fishing: I will cover strike indicators in another column. My fly fishing punt is eight-feet long, equipped with two anchors, one at the stern and one on the bow. The two anchors are to keep the boat steady in a breeze while fishing. My seat is raised so I can sit comfortably for hours when fishing with a wet line. Wet line chironomid fishing requires all
the concentration of a chess player, because much of the time you set the hook when you see the line move, do not wait until you feel the bite. I favour soft 4- to 6-weight, 9-foot rods. I like long leaders up to 12 feet, and a 4- to 6-pound tip with fluorocarbon leader material. To find places to fish, watch where swallows feed or look for insects emerging on the surface. My anchors are marked at five-foot spaces so I know how deep the water is. I do not use electronics to find fish, so I occasionally get skunked. I use medium- to fastsinking lines and time the descent of my fly to the bottom with the second hand of my watch and make
appropriate adjustments. Loop knots are important in tying the fly to the leader. One nice feature of wet line chironomid fishing is that you do not need long casts. Give it a try – you may find it is addictive. • • • A special thank you to all the people who made the last two weeks fishing at the Courtenay and District Fish and Game Club pond such a success. Thank you to Thrifty Foods for the treats. 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.

Judy Larsen 1947-2014 Born in Swan River, Manitoba on July 31, 1947, Judy passed away peacefully on June 15, 2014. She is survived by her son Allen (Chelsea), daughter Carmen (Jacek); her beloved grandchildren Mira, Nickolas, Audrey, Leni and EsmĂŠ; her mother Isabelle Kitchener; her siblings Blaine (Shirley), Tom (Sandra) and Carol (Norm). Judy was predeceased by the husband she adored, Don Larsen, and her father Sid Kitchener. Judy made her home in the Comox Valley for all of her life with the exception of 14 years in Alberta. She and Don began going together in 1963 when she boldly asked him to the Sadie Hawkins dance. They were married December 3, 1966. Judy was a fun-loving woman who enjoyed square-dancing, bowling and curling, and was an avid game player, particularly bridge and Scrabble. She was a creative, crafting person and could design and construct anything she imagined. She and Don enjoyed gathering supplies for her various projects; collecting shells, buying fabric, and picking through garage sales for great finds. Above all, Judy was known for her exquisite, hand-sewn quilts that she freely gave to the people she loved as well as to others in need. Summers were often spent camping with family at Miracle Beach, Kitty Coleman Beach or in the Okanagan. After Judy and Don retired, they journeyed across the country in 2006, then up to Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories in 2008. Winters were spent in Indio, California, where Judy was active in her park; quilting, playing water volleyball, shuffleboard, and painting. Judyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong but quiet faith supported her through difficult times as she supported the congregations of which she was a member. In the 1970s while in Alberta she was on the board of her church in Pincher Creek and helped establish a new church in Edmonton. She had many roles at St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Courtenay: past Chair of Church Council, Session member and an active member of the United Church Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group. She helped lead the fundraising efforts for a new roof on the church. She taught Sunday school for years, and was a camp leader and cook at Moorecroft United Church camp. Judy loved her children and always made them a priority. She was a model of humility, love, determination, loyalty and creativity. She gave gardening/cooking/design/craft/ life advice generously and expertly. Her grandchildren were a special source of joy. She did the night shifts with fussy newborns, provided weeks of childcare whenever needed and let them take over her home at the beach. She had the best toy box. A memorial service will be held June 20, 2014 at 3 pm at St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Courtenay. As a tribute to Judy, hug your loved ones, give of yourself to others and make beautiful things.

Vanier honours athletes at annual awards banquet G.P. Vanier honoured their studentathletes June 10 in an evening of entertainment, numerous awards, a few speeches, and an excellent dinner (provided by Plates Catering). Over 280 athletes and guests attended the annual athletic banquet in the Vanier gym. The agenda included a well-played rendition of O Canada by two talented Vanier guitarists, then all the Grade 8 and 9 studentathletes received Merit Certificates. After dinner, the national runnerup improv drama team entertained with a series of witty and robust skits, a celebration for all of their teamwork. Guest speakers included this year’s inductee into the Athletic Wall of Fame Ron Webber, an educator at Vanier from 1970 to
1988 and proud supporter of many activities involving Towhee athletics. He was also a popular Mayor for our City of Courtenay, and a promoter to the world of the great stuff that happens in our Valley, Vanier athletic director Larry Street noted. Current Mayor Larry Jangula said a few words on behalf of the City, noting his history with Vanier when his own children played for the Towhees. He also congratulated all the current Towhees on their successes for the year, in particular our threetime Island champion senior girls volleyball, our second-place snowboard team and certainly our first team sport Provincial champion the girls rugby team, who will have a banner put on the wall in perpetuity. Prestigious Bronze,
Silver and Gold Block Awards went to 39 girls and 34 boys. This year’s Grade 12 recipients were Danelle Campbell, Carly Gunter, Trevor Caton, Blake Stotzer, Alex Kussauer and Foster Dewitt. All six talented athletes were important members of numerous teams over their four to five years at Vanier. Major Athletic Awards went to: Most Improved Junior Athletes: Male - Chase Hobenshield; Female - Sienna Barth. Most Improved Senior Athletes: Male
- Jakob Jungwirth; Females - Scout Frewer and Tayler Redman. Outstanding Leadership in Athletics: Foster Dewitt. Most Inspirational Junior Athletes: Male - Tyler Knopp; Female - Hope Lewis. Most Inspirational Senior Athletes: Male - Joss Biggins; Female - Danelle Campbell. Athlete of the Year: Grade 8 Male - Ray Fukui; Female - Kenedy Olsen.
