CLOSE CROP FOR CANCER

Regional district property owner told he cannot live in RV Scott Stanfield Record Staff

An Area B resident says he is receiving unfair treatment from the Comox Valley Regional District because of what he considers a “malicious” complaint from a neighbour. The CVRD, however, says John Reiter is contravening a bylaw by living in a recreational vehicle on his Farmview Road property off Dyke Road.

Stage 2 water restrictions start this week

BARGAIN HUNTERS

Due to low inflows into the Comox Lake reservoir and in anticipation of low water conditions for the near future, the Comox Valley Regional District is moving to stage two water restrictions on July 25. “Given the persistent warm and dry weather, and the low snow packs this year that have been depleted, the CVRD recognizes the importance of working with BC Hydro and the Department of Fisheries to support water conservation during these low flow periods,” said Marc Rutten, CVRD’s general manager of engineering services. “Stage two restrictions will go into effect July 25, and remain there until further notice.” During stage two water restrictions, residents may only use a sprinkler to water a lawn growing on a

Family agrees to call off search for missing hiker Erin Haluschak Record Staff

The search for missing hiker Sylvia Apps has been officially stood down following a decision between her family and Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue, but the case will remain open. Paul Berry, information officer/ SAR manager for CVGSAR, said the decision was made between the family, the organization and the Comox Valley RCMP. “The case will remain open as a missing person with the RCMP,” he added. Apps, 69, is an experienced hiker who was last seen July 11 south on Castlecrag Mountain, after she began her multiday trek July 8 at 11 a.m. from Paradise Meadows on Mount Washington. According to Comox Valley RCMP, she was equipped with navigation and safety equipment and has previously made long treks. She was set to return July 13 at 4 p.m. at her starting point. Earlier this week, CVGSAR found her blue backpack which contained everything except her walking poles and her camera.

COMOX VALLEY GROUND Search and Rescue along with helicopters, dog teams and hundreds of volunteers searched a variety of terrain for missing hiker Sylvia Apps who was last seen July 11 south on Castlecrag Mountain. Photo Submitted Berry said the items were found in a different area from where the backpack was located.

“We don’t know when these items were dropped, located there. We know she was on the

summit of Castlecrag on the 10th, she signed in on the register, so potentially these items could

have fallen and she could have lost them then, and she might have been looking for them the following day, we don’t know.” Berry explained the decision to stand down the search was based on two factors: the level of coverage and survivability. “We look at the high probability of the search area and the covered areas,” he noted. “Also, we know Sylvia was without her belongings for at least seven days in extreme heat and extremely challenging terrain.” With 19 different search teams from around the province contributing to the effort and hundreds of volunteers, Berry describes the search as “a roller coaster for the the family and the search teams. “We felt like we were getting close, and then to come up with nothing, it’s very mystifying.” Berry said he expects the family will continue the search, and explained the route Apps took is a very well-travelled area of Strathcona Park, and if any information or clues come in, the search could resume. Anyone with information or who may find any clues should call the RCMP at 250-338-1321.

Kitty Coleman campground celebrates 70th year as provincial park Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The Kitty Coleman campground celebrates its 70th year as a provincial park in July. A class C park, it receives no funding from government, but there is a ministry-appointed board that administers the park and pays the caretakers. Upgrades to the 10-hectare park are paid by boating and camping fees. This year and last, the board upgraded some of the fire pits. An expensive shoreline erosion project took about five years to complete. “We put about $300,000 into it,” said Norm Pattison,

who chairs the voluntary Kitty Coleman Provincial Park board. Pattison’s son Sean also serves on the seven-member board, as does Blaine Kitchener, who served more than 40 years as treasurersecretary. That post is now held by Denise Bekkema. The park is renowned for containing the biggest tree in the Comox Valley — an old-growth Douglas Fir estimated to be more than 500 years old. The site was established as a provincial park on Nov. 14, 1944. Its history, however, dates back 95 years when it first became a community park — the same

The coastal beach at Kitty Coleman Park. Photo courtesy Rhoda Ross - YTB year Merville was established. “In 1919, most of this area had been logged,” Bekkema said. “The land belonged to the Dominion of Canada.” At the conclusion of the

First World War, locals and British war veterans had come to the area at the same time. “The Canadians and these British immigrants had fought together in France, from where Mer-

ville originates,” Bekkema said. “It combines two French words: mer (sea) and ville (town).” After dividing the land, the war vets left a strip on the ocean for a community park. “Kitty Coleman was a woman from the Cape Mudge tribe who passed away the year before (1918) at age 70,” said Bekkema, who has not found much information about Coleman’s husband. There is a celebration from 1-4 p.m. Aug. 17 to recognize the park’s 70th anniversary. The park is accessed via Coleman Road off the Old Island Highway north of Courtenay. Turn

at Left Road, then right at Whitaker Road that runs into the park. The board is collecting old photos and stories to gear up for the 100th anniversary in 2019. “Today’s photos and today’s stories are going to be history in a few decades, so we’re open to receiving any photos and any stories about Kitty Coleman Park,” Bekkema said.

Gravel pit recommendations forwarded to ministry Renee Andor Record Staff

Part of an area off Bevan Road included in an application to extract gravel falls within an environmentally sensitive area. The Ministry of Energy and Mines referred the application by Tayco Paving to the Village of Cumberland for comment. According to Cumberland planner Joanne Rees’ report, the pit is expected to be open for 10 years and an average of 25,000 cubic metres of gravel would be removed per day, six days per week. Cumberland council last week approved making six recommendations to the ministry, however, Rees noted the ministry can choose to ignore most of them if it so chooses. “Where resources are being extracted and they’re under a permit by a senior agency, in this case the ministry of energy and mines, … our bylaws are transparent,” she told council. “So, the recommendations that I put for you … other than the processing (of the aggregate) and the (need for) business licences, the ministry can ignore, but we hope they don’t.” The recommendation around processing of the aggregate states all crushing of the resource must be done at Tayco’s industrially-zoned property on Cumberland Road, as the property on Bevan Road is not zoned for this activity. The Village can also demand that all contractors and subcontractors hold valid Cumberland or inter-community business licences. As well, the Village recommended that a qualified environmental professional (QEP) prepare a report, identify streamside protection for environmentally sensitive areas and what suitable setbacks are and create a stormwater management plan. The Village also recommended a spill and fire emergency response plan be developed, and remediation of exposed soil areas should include coverage with hydroseed and trees. Finally, the Village recommends the gravel portion of Bevan Road be graded regularly or

Cumberland receives money to do it and that it be treated with a dust suppressant — as Rees noted four truck and pup loads of gravel are expected to leave the site per day. Plus, the Village requested a $50,000 security deposit in the event roadwork must be done prior to regular maintenance due to the increased heavy truck traffic.

Fruit pickers needed The season is upon us! Lush Valley Food Action Society is holding a volunteer orientation session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 22 at 1126 Piercy Ave. in Courtenay for those interested in getting involved in the Fruit Tree Program. Since 2002, Lush Valley has operated this program which sends volunteers to fruit tree owners’ homes to harvest the fruit, leaving one-third to the owner, bringing one-third to Lush Valley for redistribution in the community and taking one-third home with them to enjoy. Last year the Fruit Tree Project harvested a total of 12,000 pounds of cherries, plums, grapes, apples, quince, kiwis and more. The donated fruit was distributed to many local organizations that provide emergency food services to people who need it and may not otherwise have access to it. This year the program would like to include a vegetable component. Lush Valley is inviting farmers and/ or home gardeners to utilize the program as a way to share unwanted extras or seconds of their produce.

This book was borrowed

from the Courtenay library 30 years ago and was only recently returned to the Prince George library, with $100 enclosed to cover late fines and shipping back to Courtenay.

Book returned 30 years later Renee Andor Record Staff

A book borrowed from the Courtenay library 30 years ago is now making its way back to its rightful home after being dropped off at the Prince George Public Library. “It’s very unusual for a book to be returned after such a long period of time,” said Courtenay library manager Colleen Nelson, who was waiting for the book to arrive as of Friday. “We often get things back after a year or a little bit longer than that but this is the longest (overdue) item I’ve ever had returned.” Camping and Woodcraft by Horace Kephart was dropped off at the Prince George library with a note saying it was checked out of the Courtenay branch of Vancouver Island Regional Library 30 years ago. Also enclosed was $100 cash to pay for shipping back to Courtenay and cover any late fines incurred. A man’s name and contact information were also included — though Prince George library had been unable to reach him as of Friday — and the man said he would follow up to ensure the book reached its destination. According to Nelson, there’s no

way of knowing exactly when the book was checked out. “We switched over from paper records to digital records in the mid-90s and so I don’t have access to the old information,” she said. She noted late fines are normally 30 cents per day to a maximum of $10, and if the book is returned in a condition unfit for circulation — which this one was — the replacement cost of the book can be charged, too. Nelson said the cash is more than enough to cover the fees and shipping. Though not suitable for circulation, “It’s something we’ll probably keep in branch because it’s so unusual,” said Nelson. “We haven’t decided quite yet what we’re going to do with it, where we’re going to put it … We might put it out (on display) for a little while so that people can have a look.” As well, Nelson said the money that came with the book will be considered a donation, and she wants some input from the man who dropped it off to see how he would like the donation spent. As of Friday, Nelson couldn’t say when the book would get to Courtenay, but she noted library staff are eagerly awaiting its arrival. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Leave your pets at home For starters, kudos to the B.C. SPCA and the dedicated people who work for it. Like emergency responders, police and any number of other public servants, they get important work done in the most trying circumstances imaginable. Speaking of trying circumstances for an average dog, how about a mid-afternoon, mid-July sidewalk in the Comox Valley? We’ve been sweltering through a heat wave for a couple of weeks and still, people are walking their dogs like they always do. Here’s a sincere request, one the SPCA would most likely support: please stop it. Leave your dog at home where they know how to stay cool. Even if it’s an expensive, rare breed that you love to show off‚ why not leave home without him or her if you’re headed into the heat? Going somewhere in the car or truck? These kind of warnings go double. It’s sad that we have to keep reminding people of this, but the steady stream of news stories regarding pets in distress, in the backs of hot cars, tells us that the message bears repeating. It’s shocking that such extreme animal cruelty can arise out of ignorance. Of course, most people don’t intend to torture their pets, but that’s exactly what all-too-often happens to a dog or cat in a parked vehicle in the sunlight. Even in the wake of the highly publicized deaths of six dogs in a Lower Mainland truck some weeks back, SPCA branches in B.C. are responding to a high number of animal rescues from parked vehicles. Is this a message you’re tired of hearing because you hear it every summer? Of course it is. But as long as these public acts of neglect and, yes, cruelty continue, so will the pleading that these incidents stop. – Black Press

Record Question of the Week This week: So far, more than 70 per cent of respondents say they are enjoying the record-breaking temperatures. Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll. If the response to Market Day is any indication, Comox Valley shoppers would embrace the idea of a pedestrian-only downtown core.

Because of the dry conditions, the CVRD has no choice but to impose stage two water restrictions for the Comox Valley.

in our society. It’s not surprising, then, that we look up to people who have wealth and health and look down on people who don’t. Some of us genuinely care for the poor, respect them and treat them as human beings. It’s so tempting, though, to think of them as zombies because of their lack of real life, life that can only be had with money. We are so wired to judge others. Go to a party of strangers and the first thing you get asked is “what do you do for a living?” People want to know so that they can either look up to you, treat you as a buddy with equal social status, or just walk away from you. The homeless make particularly good and easy targets for passing judgment on people. They are so easy to spot when they hang around panhandling or ‘squatting’ in doorways. There is no doubt about where they stand in life. Rather than think of them as members of the community, we can easily think of them as being socially dead and of no consequence. In order to change these attitudes, we must stop promoting them; after all, we are not born with such a distain for the underprivileged.

No right or wrong answer in euthanasia debate Dear editor, Re. Brendon Johnston’s July 3 letter to the editor titled Faith negates the need for legalized euthanasia: Allowing a person the free and informed choice to be assisted in putting an end to his or her suffering seems by many an expression of the greatest compassion. In the Netherlands I saw a very convincing, compassionate documentary related to this question. However, when I considered the fact that God our Father in heaven let His son

Jesus Christ be crucified for the sins of all people, I believe He also gave us an insight into this crucial question. He showed compassion, but that was for all of us so we could receive forgiveness of our sins and live with Him and our loved ones in the eternities. Maybe there are important principles to be learned while in the process of dying; like to understand better His son’s sacrifice and to have a deeper understanding and an appreciation for what Christ did for each of us. Jesus, the son of God was not

spared of the agony of the excruciating pain He was inflicted with and the loss of all dignity and no “compassion.” It is interesting to contemplate the time that we live in, a time of convenience and ease, like aborting a child. The challenge and the difference is not who is right or wrong because people on both sides mean well. The more important question is, is there a God? Therein lies the answer. Ary Sala Fanny Bay

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, July 22, 2014

Taxpayers should not tolerate shroud of secrecy within CVRD Dear editor, What on earth is going on at the Comox Valley Regional District headquarters? Five figure numbers for a legal settlement that the public has absolutely no information on. Are the two most senior people involved in a human rights abuse complaint? If so, the elected official should resign and the hired official be fired. We are experiencing secret meetings and decisions, where is the transparency? The two officials, Edwin Grieve and chief administrative

officer Deb Oakman, are not attending any meetings regarding the 3L application. The CVRD spokesperson claims that the decision of the Grieve and Oakman removal from 3L discussions is “a private matter.”

Just a minute, these people are public officials, not private individuals. If they are acting in their public capacity, those actions should therefore be public knowledge. If their actions cause a cost to the taxpayers, then the taxpayer has a right to

know how their tax dollars are being wasted. If this is a private matter as they claim, then they should be footing the costs themselves, not the taxpayer. The act of the chairman using an unelected individual as a surrogate stand-in (alternate) to vote on the 3L application, places the whole vote by the board in question. Board members are elected and have to swear an oath of office to take their seats. With no disrespect to the stand-in (Curtis Scoville), I think that Edwin

Grieve could have used a monkey with a sign saying “I vote no” around its neck as a stand-in. Our members of parliament are not allowed to use surrogate stand-ins, why is the CVRD setting new undemocratic rules and standards? I am tired of the ever increasing taxation levels, bloated salaries to representatives and senior staff, the undemocratic alternate approval process, secret meetings, elected officials extending their time in office, etc. Chris Miles Black Creek

Comox resident upset with council’s decision not to hear resolution on tanker traffic Dear editor, As a Comox property owner I was among several others who attended the July 16 Comox council meeting in hopes of presenting a resolution. Instead council spent 12 minutes debating and ultimately voted not to even hear our resolution. Why? Mayor Paul Ives stated the proposed resolution are matters that “arguably fall outside our jurisdiction.” Coun. Barbara Price coun-

tered, “We’ve voted on many resolutions [outside our jurisdiction] such as free trade agreements.” Coun. Tom Grant sputtered he was “very uncomfortable” speaking on behalf of 13,500 residents. “It’s just not right. We should stay away from it.” Coun. Price responded by pointing out that in “every council meeting we vote on behalf of citizens of Comox. It’s what we do!” Coun. Hugh MacKinnon suggested “at the very least let’s

hear the resolution,” a sentiment echoed by Coun. Patti Fletcher. Curious about the contents of this contentious, as yet, silent resolution despite similar resolutions passed by 21 municipalities, including Kitimat, Vancouver, Victoria, Prince Rupert? Comox stands to be affected by both bitumen export pipelines (Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan). Here’s a snippet: “...the Town of Comox urge the provincial and federal governments to use

whatever means available to stop the expansion of crude oil tanker traffic on our coast, to encourage them to use and conserve the oil sands for domestic benefit, to encourage them to refine this natural resource in Canada to enhance job creation and tax revenue, to encourage them to develop long-term alternative energy programs...” Councillors who voted against hearing the resolution were Tom Grant, Ken Grant, Maureen Swift and Mayor Paul Ives. I

encourage readers to listen to the council meeting video on Town of Comox website (time stamp 24:54 to 36:54). Coincidentally, on the same day, Prince Rupert had a 228metre freighter (the largest supertanker is 458.45 metres) rip a hole in its hull while moving to Anchorage from terminal. With municipal elections this November I now know exactly who has my vote. Susanna Kaljur Courtenay

VIHA made Yoko-San’s final days peaceful Dear editor, When my beloved wife of 25 years was diagnosed with colon cancer, in the summer of 2011, we thought that was the end. But the care and attention she received from Doctor Harris and Doctor Roger Moise gave her another three years. Yoko expressed to more than one of the nurses who looked after her until the end that those were happy years because of the care and empathy she experienced from everybody. I found it very assuring that a nurse was available within minutes if an emergency arose. I still find it amazing that with so many patients to see every day, they still made us feel that we were the only ones. It was also a great comfort to witness how the team of nurses included the family and Yoko’s friend of many years, Michele Morton, a retired

nurse, as part of the team and involved in the effort to leave Yoko without pain, and how they constantly kept Michele in the loop regarding any change in medication or anything that affected Yoko’s comfort. Michele’s help and unselfish dedication to Yoko’s care and her moral support for me was what made it possible for me to carry on through the ordeal. We also owe a heartfelt thank you to Sammy and all the staff at Kobo Sushi restaurant in Comox. With Yoko’s lack of appetite it was not possible for her to eat anything but the goodies you brought her, and your visits were like turning the light on for her. Keiko and Kumiko could actually bring a smile to her face in all her misery. Yoko-San passed away on Sunday afternoon and on Sunday evening I got a call from

a Festival of Family Fun!

Kimberly - the nurse who had been here the most times. She called to make an appointment to see me the next day just to see how I was doing. This, to me, is way beyond the call of duty. But this is the kind of thing that has brought some light to an otherwise sad experience. That is a gesture I shall never forget. Our community is very lucky to have this organization operating here and it is amazing how they have been able to recruit such dedicated people. During the ordeal of losing and feeling the loss of someone very dear to me I, and my family, feel very comforted by the sympathy and care we received from everyone in VIHA. Please accept our thanks for your help and dedication far, far beyond anything expected. Svend O. Jensen and family Comox Valley

Provincial recognition for local AHS members VolUNTeeR CoNNeCToR Submitted

Two members from the Comox Valley Aboriginal Head Start Preschool received the 2014 provincial awards from the Aboriginal Head Start Association of British Columbia (AHSABC). Phil Umpherville and Donna Ziner were presented their awards at the AHSABC annual gathering which took place in Harrison Hot Springs at the end of June. Each year two awards are given out province-wide with nominations gathered from all 12 Aboriginal Head Start programs in B.C. This year both awards, the Soaring Eagle award and the Ruth Henkel Memorial award, were given to staff from the Comox Valley Aboriginal Head Start Preschool. Phil Umpherville

Joan Gignac (centre), executive director of AHSABC presents Donna Ziner and Phil Umpherville with their plaques. Photo Submitted is a Cree Elder who brings his legends and traditions to life for the children through story-telling. He received the Soaring Eagle award for his 16 years of contributing to the program at the Comox Valley Aboriginal Head Start Preschool. Umpherville is a great traditional story teller and has a way of capturing everyone’s

attention in a room, especially the children. “When the graduating class of 2014 was asked what their favourite thing to do at preschool was, more than half the students said listening to Uncle Phil’s stories and listening to him play his drum,” said Comox Valley Aboriginal Head Start Preschool coordinator Pam Moore,

Reiter: I’m doing absolutely no harm Continued from A1 “It’s been a horrible two years of my life,” said Reiter, who claims he has been threatened, bullied and stonewalled when seeking a freedom of information request. “Is it OK to treat a person who is retired with modest resources and does no harm to the environment or my community like this? “There are a great many people who for one reason or another are going into retirement without a lot of money. Did we suddenly go from being valued citizens to riffraff? To be abused like I have?” Lewis and other officers have visited Reiter several times. On one occasion, Reiter called the RCMP when he felt Lewis had trespassed

and acted aggressively. According to Lewis, the attending officer said he had a legal right to be there. Lewis says the Local Government Act provides authority for regional district bylaw officers to enter a property to determine if bylaws are being met with compliance. In some cases, officers ask police to accompany them to a residence. Reiter’s documents contain affidavits from a realtor, stating his property does not affect neighbouring property values, and from a health officer, stating that the property poses no threat to the environment or to public health. “I’m doing absolutely no harm,” Reiter said.

Terry Farrell Record Staff

Thursday was the first opportunity for Comox farmers’ market shoppers to sample and purchase wine at the Comox By The Sea Third Thursday Market. Judging by the lineups at the wine booths, the new regulations regarding the sale of alcoholic products at markets are a welcome amendment. Jordan Hodding, front end manager at Coastal Black Winery was kept busy all afternoon, handing out samples and taking in sales of his selection from the Black Creek business. This was Hodding’s second farmers’ market, as he also had a booth at Saturday’s Comox Valley Farmers’ Market. He said that it’s been all positive so far. “People seem very excited to come out and try it – a lot of positive feedback, for sure,” he said. “This is a great advertising and marketing tool for us. People are definitely interested.” Moira Proskim, from Calgary, was unfamiliar with Coastal Black Winery before coming to the market. She’s in Comox visiting her parents and after sampling the blackberry wine she bought a bottle to add to her

RYT director comes full circle with How To Eat Like a Child Pat Carl

Special to the Record

The Rainbow Youth Theatre summer season is off to a riotous start with its production of How To Eat Like a Child, directed by Katie Clarkson with music direction by Erin Humphry. Though new to direction, Clarkson has worked with RYT every summer since she was six years old, either onstage or back-stage. “My first role was in How To Eat Like a Child, the same play I’m directing now,” Clarkson said. “What’s great about the play is that every child has a speaking part, even the youngest, least familiar with acting, and every child sings. There’s no leading roles. Everyone’s a star.”

Aside from musical theatre, Clarkson has her own business, Clarkson Photography. “I take portraits and family photos and I’ve done a few weddings.” What she sees herself doing in a few years, though, is photographing the big names in music. “I love being around performers, especially musicians.” Humphry also cut her musical theatre teeth with RYT in The Sound of Music as one of the Von Trapp children, Marta. She loves that the young actors in How To Eat Like a Child are able to follow her direction as they sing the threepart harmony many of the songs in the play require. Humphry intends to follow her musical the-

atre dream by attending the Randolph Academy of Performing Arts in Toronto beginning this fall. Eventually, she’d like to live in London,

England, performing in musical theatre productions. “Or, I like teaching kids, too, so – who knows – I’d be happy sharing my love of

music and theatre with them,” she said. Both eager, young directors rely as much as needed – but as little as possible – on Katie’s older sister,

Multi-talented Churchill at the Waverley Wednesday Record Staff

KIM CHURCHILL

When the term “one-man band” is mentioned, most people think of some gimmicky fellow, cymbals attached to his kneecaps, bass drum on his back, playing a simple song.

Kim Churchill is anything but gimmicky. A voice reminiscent of a young Chris de Burgh; a “claw” style to his guitar playing that looks like a cross between Eddie Van Halen and Jeff Healy, and incredible harmonica playing give this Australian talent a

sound all his own. Churchill is at the Waverley Hotel on Wednesday and it’s a performance not to be missed. Tickets are $20 and available available at Bop City, the Waverley Hotel, by phone 250-336-8322 and online.

Kabush crowned king of Canadian mountain biking

CANADIAN MOUNTAIN BIKE legend Geoff Kabush celebrates his record eighth Canadian championship. PHOTO BY CYCLING CANADA

Canadian mountain bike legend and three-time Olympian Geoff Kabush of Courtenay (Scott-3 Rox Racing) was crowned the men elite champion at the 2014 Canadian Mountain Bike Cross-Country Championships at Hardwood Ski and Bike in Oro-Medonte, near Barrie, Ont. In doing so, the 37-year-old Kabush became the most decorated mountain biker of all time at Canadian championships, earning his eighth elite title in cross-country. He surpassed Alyson Sydor, who has seven titles to her credit. In addition to his cross-country races, he won four cyclo-cross title, and became the most decorated cyclist of the US Cup Series. The championship races Saturday featured all of Canada’s top mountain bikers, and the racing certainly did not disappoint. Evan Guthrie and Cameron Jette (Scott3Rox Racing) both started like a bullet in the first few moments and took an early lead from the front of the pack in the sixlap, 35.3km race. Right behind the two leaders were Canada’s top riders including Kabush, defending Canadian champion Derek Zandstra of Trenton, Ont. (Scott-3 Rox Racing), Max Plaxton of Victoria (Cannondale Factory Racing) and Raphael Gagné of Québec, Que. (Rocky Mountain Bicycles). Jette and Guthrie maintained the lead for most of the race, but Jette suffered from a jammed chain and Guthrie slowly ran out of steam. This opened the door for the chase group to bridge the gap. Gagné attacked the exhausted Guthrie and Jette, and led the race in the fifth lap.

That’s when Kabush and Zandstra worked together to close in on Gagné, and set the table for the finish. Ultimately, Kabush had lots left in the tank and made the winning move in the last kilometres to take the title in 1:39.31. Teammate Zandstra finished second in 1:39.42, while Gagné took third in 1:39.50. “It feels really satisfying. It was really an enjoyable race, and especially great to see the level of riders,” Kabush said. “I’ll be really proud to represent the Maple Leaf at the World Cups. It was our goal to keep the jersey in the team, and it was really great to see the whole team ride strong,” said Kabush. When asked about the feat of becoming the most decorated rider in history, Kabush remained grounded and humbled: “Numbers are numbers. It’s most gratifying to wear the jersey again. “A big thanks to all our sponsors. They have provided awesome support to the team. It’s another jersey for the tickletrunk, but most importantly I’ll be really proud to wear the Maple Leaf once more around the world,” Kabush said. “It was an exciting finish, with so many guys together in the last lap. I saved a little bit of that mental energy for the last push. I just had to put my head down. I was in the chase group all day, and we weren’t letting up. “The gap stretched out, but we were keeping it in check. When we saw Cameron on the side of the trail, Derek and I knew it was now our responsibility to get up there,” said Kabush. – Cycling Canada

4-Mile race is set to go The Comox Nautical Days 4 Mile Road Race will once again be held in conjunction with this year’s BC Weekend celebrations at Comox Nautical Days. The race has taken place continuously for the last 45 years and, as such, is the longest continuously held road race in B.C. The event is family orientated, with the majority of participants taking part to enjoy the fun aspect of the event. However, for those wishing to take the event seriously it is a fast course over an unusual distance (4 miles = approximately 6.5 kilometres). The race starts at 9 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 4 at Comox Town Hall, 1809 Beaufort Ave., Comox. Registration is also at the start between 8 and 8:45 a.m., with entry fee $10. There are age category awards, as well as a prize for the first male and female runner. There will be a plentiful supply of postrace refreshments and some exciting draw prizes. The race route is along Beaufort Avenue, Comox Avenue, Balmoral Avenue, Torrence Road, Noel Avenue, Linshart Road, Anderton Road and finishes on Comox Avenue. Please note for safety reasons strollers and pets are not permitted. The event provides an opportunity to begin the day’s celebrations, taking in the parade and other entertainments immediately after. The race is organized by Comox Valley Road Runnersand proceeds support many local charities, with numerous donations being made annually.

Anderson scores big first round victory Chris “Bukwas” Anderson stepped into the Battlefield Fight League’s cage for his second time in just over two months on July 12. This time it was at the Hard Rock Casino in Port Coquitlam and the winner of this match would go on to fight for the BFL amateur welterweight title in the fall. Anderson’s last opponent was Mike Crisp, a grappler that trained out of Lions MMA in Vancouver. “Chris dominated that opponent so I imagine they wanted revenge,” said Jonny Mac of the Bulldog Fight Team that operates out of the Comox Valley Boxing Club. “They matched up their top striker (former B.C. heavyweight kickboxing champ and top-ranked MMA fighter) Kiarash Moghaddam for this important fight. “Anderson put on an extra five pounds of muscle

chris ‘bukwas’ anderson celebrates impressive win at BFL in Port Coquitlam. Photo Submitted mass in our kettlebell class and that seemed to be a huge part of the outcome of this fight. Proper nutrition, power and strength along with the endless days

of sparring put Chris at the peak of his career going into this battle,” Mac said, adding that Moghaddam would be fighting at his lightest weight at 170 pounds.

When the fight started Chris took the centre of the cage and dictated where the fight was going. Anderson shot for a take down right away, and while Moghaddam got to his feet without suffering any blows, he had been taken off his game. “Anderson pursued him across the cage and started finding his range with combos and a few leg kicks. He was confident enough to land a spinning back kick which pleased the crowd. “Moghaddam wasn’t able to put anything together; always on his heels as Anderson followed him around the cage keeping up the pressure. Anderson threw two overhand rights – one clipping Moghaddam and the other missing by just a few inches. “In the next few seconds Anderson fakes the overhand right and goes for the

straight cross to the body. Moghaddam’s knees buckle and Anderson delivers another fatal blow to the same spot. Two more punches land before ref Tony Williamson jumps in to stop the fight 1:10 into the first round.” After dominating the two toughest guys in his division, Anderson must now wait to see who he will face in his title bout. “If you are interested in sponsoring Chris in his upcoming title fight contact me (250-898-7444 or cvboxingclub@gmail.com) for packages,” said Mac. “You can follow Chris on Facebook under Chris Bukwas Anderson or go to the Comox Valley Boxing Club page.” – Bulldog Fight Team (A more detailed version of this story is online in ‘Sports’ at www.comoxvalleyrecord.com.)

His family was at his side.

This time also included a teacher exchange year in Perth Australia. His interests included playing and coaching rugby, woodworking, sailing, golf, RVing, and involvement in Skills Canada trades competitions for high school students. Always available to help family and friends with renovation projects, he enjoyed a challenge anytime, anywhere. We know you are with the Angels now Poppy and we can feel your gentle hand guiding us forward. You taught us all so much. Dave did not want a public service.

Kathleen W. Cropper It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kathleen W. Cropper on July 14, 2014. Mom was born in Lake Isle, Alberta on September 30, 1922. Kathleen and her family lived in Alberta until the 1940s and then moved as a family to Vancouver, BC. There she met and married the love of her life, Robert Cropper. Dad was employed by MacMillan Bloedel as a Forestry Engineer so their lives took them to remote logging camps up and down the BC Coast; including Menzies Bay and Juskatla in the Islands formerly known as the Queen Charlottes. Mom and Dad retired to the Comox Valley in the early 1970s. Mom had a life-long love of horses and had other hobbies including painting, gardening and rock wall building. She was always adding one more rock to the wall fronting her home. It still stands and will remind us of her every time we pass by it. Upon retirement, my parents started farming; raising cattle, growing strawberries and finally planting an apple orchard and nursery with family friend Pieter Buismanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help. They grafted and planted more than 3,000 trees and harvested up to 60,000 pounds of apples a year. Following Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing in 1997, Mom continued to garden and paint and watch her three grand-daughters grow up on her beloved farm, which she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave until her 89th year. Mom passed peacefully at Golden Grove Care Facility in Willow Point, Campbell River. We cannot be more grateful to the owners and caregivers at Golden Grove for the wonderful care they provided for Kathleen during the year and a half she resided with them. You are at peace, mom, and reunited with your special man, Robert. We will always love you. A Celebration of Life for Kathleen will be held on Saturday, July 26th at 2:30 PM at Kathleenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm, Robin Ridge Farm, at 3473 Dove Creek Road, Courtenay.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

DEATHS

McCONOCHIE, AGNES (NAN) MEEK (nee Hannah) October 26, 1924 - July 15, 2014

Nan passed away on Tuesday, July 15th with her family by her side. She is survived by her daughter Sharon Hastings (John) of Courtenay and her sons John McCabe (Karen) and Kevin McCabe of Courtenay, her step-children, Barbara Arseneau of Nanaimo, Betty Armour (Dave) of Courtenay and Lynda O’Connell (Mike) of Idaho, USA. She is also survived by her brothers Andrew Hannah (Joan), Robert Hannah (Loie) of Maple Ridge and George Hannah of Prince George, sister Elizabeth (Betty) Zaharia (John) of Maple Ridge. Nan will be fondly remembered by numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Nan was predeceased by her husband William (Bill) McConochie, parents Andrew and Agnes Hannah, sister Helen (Nellie) and brother in-law Warren Kickbush and stepson William (Bill) McConochie. Nan was born in East Whitburn, Scotland on Oct 26, 1924. She came to Canada with her parents and brother Andrew in 1928. The family settled in Haney, BC and then Nan moved to Courtenay in 1947. Nan was a life member of the Royal Purple and held various chairs in the organization. She was always willing to lend a hand and volunteer her time and energy in her community where needed. After retiring Nan and Bill travelled to various countries. They also enjoyed cruising, boating, RVing and curling. One of her greatest thrills was attending the Scot Tournament of Hearts in St. John’s, Newfoundland in 1981 to be a cheerleader for her daughter Sharon. Another unforgettable experience was meeting Queen Elizabeth, when she visited Comox. Nan will be remembered for her joy of life and infectious laughter. She took great pride in her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

PaciﬁcCARE CHILD CARE RESOURCE & REFERRAL - COURTENAY

A special thank-you to Doctors Gornall and Ingrey for their compassionate care. No Sad Tears For Me I hope by now that some of the initial pain of my departure has begun to wear away…and that the kind carpet of pleasant memories has started to unroll. I only ask one thing: No sad tears for me, please. Every wonderful, delightful thrill, experience and emotion life has to offer has been mine. So no sad tears for me, please. Rather, recall me with a fond smile as the wife, daughter and friend who shared your laughter, tears and dreams through the years. No sad tears for me, please. I lived a goodly span of years and enjoyed them all. I’ve laughed a lot, cried a little…I’ve seen many sunsets and a few fresh dawns, walked in the April rain and watched the wheat fields roll. I loved a man and was loved in return and walked with the hands of young people in my own. No sad tears for me, please. Think of the happy times; The Christmas mornings, the nieces, nephews, graduations, the Thanksgiving dinners and most of all, remember the thousand of times we were all together as family and friends. On Christmas Eve if there is a small star in the sky, look at it with love and let it come into your heart…and remember me. No sad tears for me, please. A woman never really dies while there are those on Earth who loved her. A woman is never gone as long as there are those who remember her with fondness…and as long as her memory evokes a wistful smile. All who have loved, and who have been loved, have earned a piece of immortality… No sad tears for me, please Author Unknown
