It’s official - Harriette is a girl Erin Haluschak Record Staff
Calling it “a big leap” for transgender residents across B.C., Cathie Dickens said a new bill passed into law in May allowed her granddaughter to get her new birth certificate identifying her as a female. Eleven-year-old Harriette Cunningham of Comox is one of the first in the province to receive her new certificate following Bill 17 passing into law. “It’s a great thing,” Dickens said. Harriette was born as Declan Cunningham, but has officially changed her name to Harriette. She said she first started telling people she was a girl in Grade 2, and she started school last fall as a girl, taking part on girls’ sports
Eleven-year-old transgender child who spearheaded campaign to change ID laws receives her birth certificate teams for example. With the help of Dickens, Cunningham launched a campaign last September to push for changes to B.C. laws so that her identification can reflect her gender, rather than her sex. Cunningham told The Record in September she felt insecure when travelling or crossing the border, as her appearance differed from what was listed on both her passport and birth certificate at the time. “… I want to explain myself, but then again I think I shouldn’t really have to because everybody else doesn’t
have to,” she noted. Previously, according to B.C. law, people needed sexual reassignment surgery before they could change their sex designation on their birth certificate. Now under Bill 17, people wishing to change the sex designation on their birth certificates no longer have to undergo surgery first. Dickens and Cunningham sent letters to more than 40 MPs and MLAs pushing for changes to the law, and met with Comox Valley MLA Don McRae. In a separate interview, Harriette’s father Colin notes

Courtenay Council unanimously defeated a motion by Ronna-Rae Leonard to allow a delegation of pipeline protesters to speak at its Aug. 5 meeting. Coun. Doug Hillian was absent for the vote. At Monday’s meeting, the group appealed a decision to deny a request to appear as a delegation July 7 to discuss pipeline twinning proposals and tanker exports through coastal waters. Council had decided the matter does not fall within its jurisdiction. The delegation consisted of representatives from Leadnow.ca, Dogwood Initiative and the Council of Canadians. In a letter to council, Jay Baker-

ACCESS ROADS and excavation have begun on the new 153-bed Comox Valley Hospital site. The $331.7-million project is expected to be complete in late 2017. A new $247.5 million, 95-bed hospital for Campbell River is also being built at the same time. The Comox Valley Hospital, situated at 101 Lerwick Rd., will have 428,700 square feet of overall space.

receiving her certificate is the first step for the École Robb Road student, who will be entering Grade 6. “Matters of right and wrong and matters of principle are really important to her. It’s important to her to be who she is,” he explained. Earlier this week with her official name change form and new birth certificate, Harriette applied for her new passport, and Colin said the family looks forward to a stress-free border crossing when they visit Seattle next month for the Gender Odyssey Conference. Although Harriette may soon have her new passport, Colin explained she is continuing to fight for those who may not identify with any particular gender.

French cited a number of precedents to explain why council should hear from the delegation. He noted the Union of B.C. Municipalities adopted two resolutions similar to that which the delegates wished to present to council. One opposes oil transport by pipeline in B.C., the other opposes tanker traffic in coastal waters. “It is unclear to us how this issue is outside of Courtenay’s jurisdiction when UBCM, a group that includes municipalities that would not be as directly affected by tanker disasters or the negative effect of pipelines on our economy as Courtenay would be, has judged it within theirs,” stated Baker-French, a volunteer with Leadnow.ca.

Financial stress As well as the physical and emotion stress, Garford has also gone through financial stress. Though she has been unable to work for much of the past two years, and has had numerous ongoing out-ofpocket expenses — like pain medication, bandages, physiotherapy and travel expenses — she doesn’t meet criteria for various financial support options in place. She received employment insurance for a short time and then income assistance for another stint, but she’s mostly gotten by thanks to support from her boyfriend and family.

Though the cancer was removed, Garford’s body has rejected the donor bone and metal plating repeatedly. After numerous complications, her most recent surgery appears successful, but she’s hesitant to hope because all of her other surgeries appeared successful, too, until they weren’t. She will find out in August how her leg is recovering, and if her body rejects the donor bone and metal again, she could she could face amputation. Garford played on Vanier’s volleyball, basketball and soccer teams. She was offered

Ongoing cancer battle for Vanier alumna
Julia Garford will never battle teams on the soccer field again. Instead, the 23-year-old Courtenay athlete is fighting a battle to keep her right leg. Garford was diagnosed in 2012 with a rare form of bone cancer called Chondrosarcoma, causing her to undergo several surgeries to remove and replace her right leg’s tibia bone, (a bone between the knee and ankle). “I won’t be able to play soccer again, just because the shin is so involved in it and the tibia bone that they replaced it with, it’s a donor bone … which means that it’s very fragile and it can break easily,” says G.P. Vanier Secondary School’s former minister of sport. “But, if things do go well I’m hoping to get back into volleyball as much as I can, and basketball — I just have to be careful.”

Julia Garford hopes to return to the volleyball court someday. Photo Submitted basketball scholarships to Camosun College and Acadia University (Nova Scotia), and was invited to try out for Capilano University’s volleyball team.
History of leg pains But Garford’s leg was bothering her even back as far as when she was in high school and she decided to attend the University of Victoria, majoring in English, because she worried the pain in her leg may get in the way of playing on sports teams. She continued playing sports in the school’s intramural program. When she was diagnosed with cancer at 21, Garford was shocked. “The first part was really hard,” recalls Garford. “When you first get diagnosed with something this crazy it’s overwhelming, so at first I was stunned.”
Depression set in As the surgeries due to complications piled up Garford became frustrated and depressed. “I couldn’t handle anything, and I wouldn’t see anyone. I basically locked myself indoors and wouldn’t talk to anyone,” she recalls, noting her family stepped in and urged her to get therapy, and she decided to go to the BC Cancer Agency. “It saved my life, basically, because not only was I doing one-to-one therapy with a therapist that understood cancer and saw cancer patients all the time, but I was also going to a group for young adults. And it’s the only place that I have found where I can go and not feel pity or get awkward stares from people looking at my leg or my hip — because I have multiple scars on my body now from those surgeries.”

Even if the latest surgery is successful, Garford will face a long recovery, and an account has been set up at www.youcaring.com/juliasjourney, with a fundraising goal of $40,000 to help Garford with expenses as she focuses on recovering. Garford’s complete story is posted on the website, too. Garford stays with her parents in their Courtenay home periodically after her surgeries, but lives with her boyfriend in Victoria. If anyone would like to make a donation by cheque, they can make it out to Julia Garford and mail it to 1631 Ash Rd., Victoria, BC V8N 2T2. A trust fund has also been set up. If anyone wishes to donate in person at any of the Coastal Community Credit Union branches they can ask for the Julia’s Cancer Journey Trust Account. The two-year ordeal has prompted Garford to change her schooling plans. “Since I’ve been on bed rest, I’ve really wanted to go to Camosun after all of this to do a course on health administration so that I can go work somewhere like the Cancer Agency because it’s helped me so much through this,” she says.

In a public hearing at Monday’s meeting, Courtenay council heard from several residents concerned about a possible zoning amendment at 907 Fifth St. where Ocean View Enterprises proposes to construct building with three residential suites. The vacant property at the corner of Fifth and Menzies was previously a warehouse that caught fire in 2008. “I think supporting this amendment would be a mistake,” said Fifth Street resident Carol Nielsen, who feels a triplex would be inconsistent with the scale of the neighbourhood. Parking, she feels, would also be an issue. Menzies Avenue resident Lisa Bognar and Fourth Street resident Nicole Bridges, both of whom live across from the proposed site, are also opposed. “Parking really is a problem,” said Bridges, noting the single family flavour of the neighbourhood. Fourth Street resident Derek Smith thinks council should be ashamed the proposed amendment has reached this stage. He feels parking is an issue and is certain the building will fill with renters, who could be “noisy people creating hassles in the neighbourhood. “I urge all of you to vote this down,” said Smith, who suggested an amendment to make the site a single family lot. Noel Chaboteaux, who has owned the building about 40 years, says on site parking is available for two tenants. Parking is also available in evenings on Menzies. He also notes the building — which is for sale, not for rent — is within walking distance of downtown. “We’re trying to make affordable housing,” he said.

Continued from A1 In a 4-3 vote last week, Comox council defeated a motion to consider appealing a decision not to allow a delegation request from a citizen-led group concerned about the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project. The intent was to gather support from council regarding opposition to pipelines and tankers in B.C. Staff said the request did not fall within the town’s jurisdiction.
Continued from A1 “Through all of this, Harriette and all of us have learned so much more about diversity and many people don’t identify with either gender for a variety of different reasons or conform to how society defines gender,” he said. He added Harriette’s mission is to remove gender markings on all government identification. “Our lawyer pointed out to us that at one point identification used to have our race and social class on it. Looking back, it seems absurd,” he said. “We are now in a position to be more progressive and to require gender-specific identification define us, it does become a little bit dated.” In October, Harriette and her family will be travelling to Vancouver for a human rights tribunal to outline why it is important not to define people by gender. “Overall, the community and friend and family support has been really strong,” added Colin. “There’s always people with biases or people ready to jump to conclusions, but Harriette’s resilient, she’s never wavered.”

Feds using bullying tactics to keep certain charities in check
Dear editor, Canadian Press has reported Canada Revenue has aimed the government’s might at a tiny organization named PEN Canada. It has a budget of $237K a year and one or two full-time staffers. Who belongs? Margaret Atwood and about another thousand Canadian writers and their supporters. Revenue Canada is “auditing” them to ensure they keep within 10 per cent of their budget for political activities. Yes, the full weight of the federal government has been

brought to bear on this tiny organization. Makes you think doesn’t it? In 2003 the government decided organizations with “charitable” status would only be permitted to spend up to 10 per cent of their budget on “political activities”. Two years ago our MP John
Duncan and his Conservative Party, thought it’d be a good idea to start auditing churches and charitable organizations to ensure they were keeping to the rules. They allocated $8 million for that. In this year’s budget they’ve raised that to $13 million. Organizations which have been targeted include:
• Amnesty International Canada • Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, (but not the Fraser Institute) • Canada Without Poverty • David Suzuki Foundation. PEN’s great crime would appear to be, “they advocate for freedom of speech” in Canada and abroad. Really John, the government is spending $13 million to audit churches and charities to ensure they abide by the Conservatives’ rules. You must be very afraid of them. Once the Conservatives came to power, they de-funded
women’s organizations, silenced and/or fired federal government scientists, denied health care to children of some refugee claimants, failed to support veterans, refusing to pay them what they ought to, and violated the privacy of their medical records. Now they are “auditing” a twoperson organization that advocates for freedom of speech. Who will be next to receive a call from Revenue Canada? Well it has sent a chill through many charities and churches so you could say, mission accomplished. E. A. Foster Comox
Doc distraught over patient’s letter complaining about lack of treatment for strep throat Dear editor, I read today with dismay the letter you published from my patient Gloria Rickson (Untreated strep throat results in return to hospital, and lengthy stay, July 17), and I request that you publish this in reply. It is disappointing that once again only one side of a story is presented in such letters. Throat pain is a complaint seen hundreds of times a day, and is caused by so many things that I do not have room on the page to list them all. “Strep throat” is only one cause. For some time antibiotics were overprescribed for sore throat but medical and nursing cur-
rent practice is to take a history, examine the patient and to send laboratory tests if needed; then to treat based on these results, rather than guess. The tone and content of this letter implies that her care was inadequate in the evening when she went to hospital with a sore throat. When the patient presented to me mid-morning the following day it was not a heroic diagnosis, for although erysipelas is uncommon, it is something that a medical student would recognize, and naturally she was sent in for treatment. Had she gone back to Emergency in the very early hours of the morning when it developed,
certainly once again, appropriate treatment would have been started. I have been fortunate to have had my three children delivered at St. Joseph’s Hospital, my husband, my children and I have all had medical care through the hospital. I have been proud to have been a member of the medical staff since 1992 and am grateful for the competent and compassionate care we have received. None of us can see the future when undifferentiated symptoms come our way, such as sore throats, chest pains, headaches etc.,
whether we are physicians, nurses or parents. Many times in illness, time has to pass or tests have to be run to try to make a diagnosis. I continue to be grateful for the care that is provided in this community by the hospital staff, from the front-line emergency
physicians, nurses and support staff, to the multitude of people in all departments, including volunteers, who continue to provide care with compassion despite the challenges we face in health care. Sue Hunter, MD, CCFF Comox

Navy world produces comedy and tragedy in same week Dear editor. Two very different stories from two very different navies on the horizon around the same time. Being a retired merchant mariner, I found the story out of Esquimalt, B.C. to be quite amusing. A Canadian Navy vessel taking part in exercises in San Diego was ordered to immediately return to base. It was reported that three members of the crew became intoxicated while on shore leave, resulting in separate cases of various misbehaviour. Just imagine, a sailor going ashore and getting drunk, then doing or saying things he regrets the next day when he

sobers up; that doesn’t seem too much out of the ordinary. However, for the top brass to go completely overboard by returning the ship to base seems like something out of the comic opera “HMS Pinafore”. From a politically correct comedy to a gruesome tragedy at the other end of the naval gazing spectrum, is the diabolical incident in Gaza City where four young boys were kicking around a football on the beach, when an Israeli gunboat just offshore opened fire, killing all four. Call it serendipity, or whatever, but the world will know everything about this

incident because it took place right in front of where the Foreign Press Corps were staying. The Israeli government later said they would investigate. My question is quite simple: What will become of the ship’s personnel who committed this atrocious act?
With every device they have to track the goings on in Gaza, how did the Israeli government not know where the Foreign Press Corps were staying? Or is there a far more sinister message being sent to the world at large? Bernie Smith Parksville

Scams abound in the Valley
N
early every week we receive phone calls from local residents, complaining about the latest computer or telephone scam. Many of us have become wise to the ploys, and disregard the emails and phone calls. But clearly the scams still work, to a certain degree, or they would not continue to be used. Most email services are very good at detecting the electronic scam artists, sending such letters directly to the junk pile. All that said, with the aging population in the Comox Valley, it is worth the reminder. These scam artists specifically target the elderly. Why? Because the elderly are easy prey. They are typically more naive when it comes to computer knowledge, and thereby more likely to believe that an email sent to their address is indeed a call out to them, from a long-lost relative in Nigeria. To the younger generation, that may sound gullible. But the elders in our society were raised in a more honest environment; where if someone asked for help, you believed they needed help. In many ways, it’s an enviable attitude, and one that is fading fast. So, here are a few tips to our elderly neighbours - a few red flags to watch out for, when considering who is asking for your help. 1) When checking your email, disregard anything from Nigeria, Somalia, or any other country, unless you have direct relations with said country, and recognize the name of the sender. 2) You did not win any money from a foreign lottery. The oldest marketing line in lotteries applies here: You can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket. And you did not buy a ticket. 3) That service call from Telus, warning you that your computer has been hacked is not a service call from Telus. This scam is not only the most prevalent, currently; but also the easiest to dismiss. Telus does not make unsolicited service calls. You call them if you have a problem. (Then they put you on hold for anywhere from two minutes to an hour.) So, the next time a “Telus” or “BC Hydro” or “Revenue Canada” employee calls you to tell you your computer has been hacked, follow these easy steps. Put them on hold. Then go for lunch. They will be gone by the time you return. –Black Press

Opposition declares‘bogus budget’
W
hen the audited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s POLITICS election campaign. Pages of election quotes from almost OM every NDP MLA were waiting to be LETCHER distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s preelection fiscal plan. “It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more. Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.” As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agreements remain

T
to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year. Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce. Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline. Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is. But the biggest fabrication of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus. The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures. “We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said. “Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most farfetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion mortgage. Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion. Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus. Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

Tough time believing Israeli missiles could go astray Dear editor, While I have never condoned the indiscriminate launching of missiles from Palestine into Israel, I must say that I consider the deliberate targeting of hospitals within Gaza by Israel to be a crime against humanity and in definite breach of all the Geneva Conventions and the Red Cross Conventions. I have heard that Israel says
they were targeting something nearby the hospital but I believe this to be utter B.S. Their technology is so sophisticated that they can hit the eye of a needle from a helicopter three kilometres in the sky. The disproportionate application of arms where one side has stones and a few missiles that shoot who knows where, and the other has nuclear weapons at
their disposal is totally unjustified. If Israel ever wants peace, it needs to treat the Palestinians as people and stop maintaining Gaza as a huge prison cell. Only by fairness can the fighting which was started back in the 1920s be stopped.

There’s a market for squash Special to the Record Summer squash are coming in by the bushel to the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market right now and local farmers are eager to share the bounty. This week the market will host ‘Squash Fest’ in celebration of the abundant, health-promoting veggie. As part of the market’s ‘Food Fests’ series, the event will feature tastings produced by chef Laura Agnew, from As You Like It Products and Catering as well as recipes, and activities for kids. Events co-ordinator Vickey Brown is excited about the occasion. “This month we are working in some activities for kids as well, market searches and squash identification. It’s a fun way to engage them with vegetables and include the whole family in the event.” Summer squash come in a variety of shapes and sizes are easy to cook with and affordable. The most common are patti pans, zucchini, yellow squash and crookneck squash. Health studies have shown several health benefits in summer squash varieties. They have been shown to prevent cataracts with carotenoids, fight cancer with powerful antioxidants, build blood and balance blood sugar with plenty of B vitamins, and protect your heart and intestine with anti-inflammatory properties. Many of these nutrients lie in the skin of the squash, so do leave the skin on when you cook them.

Unlike winter squash, summer squash are more fragile and cannot be stored for long periods of time unless frozen.

BULLHEAD DERBY The waters around Vancouver Island are home to the Pacific Harbour seals and occasionally northern fur seals. Photo Submitted supply before returning to nurse the pup. If you find a seal pup, leave it where it is and do not attempt to pick it up; a healthy pup will have clear oily eyes and be plump with no wrinkled skin. Dull, cloudy eyes and mucous around the nose are indications of a sick pup, they are prone to respiratory diseases and this often results in pneumonia. Please call M.A.R.S. at 250-337-2021 in advance before intervening with a pup. We work closely with the Vancouver Aquarium

Whether you’ve had a stroke or know someone recovering from stroke, it becomes quickly apparent that life will never be the same. After my dad had his stroke, he couldn't practise law again. He wasn't able to drive for almost a year. He couldn't button up his shirt or tie his shoelaces. He slurred his words and had a 'funny' gait. At times, people assumed he was drunk (ironically so, considering my dad had about one drink per year). For many stroke survivors life doesn’t have to be worse. In fact, many people affected by stroke continue to enjoy fulfilling and meaningful lives. Some would argue that their lives are better in some ways — they look after themselves more; they have a deeper appreciation for the simple pleasures of life, like a grandchild’s smile or a beautiful sunset; they are more understanding of the problems faced by others and they value the things they still enjoy even more.

Here’s a look at what our Facebook followers have had to say on some of the postings on our page: another outlet for you to ‘Have Your Say’.
Thread: Search for missing hiker Sylvia Apps has been officially stood down.
Send us your comments, views, concerns to editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com
DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING
you read in Have your Say, or another anonymous forum. Some of the biggest rip-off artists have been given glowing reviews in the Record and elsewhere. I wonder if their spouses or parents send them in. Buyer beware: don’t take anyone’s word on who to hire. Be sure to get at least three quotes for the job you want done. That way you are less likely to get cheated. And if you do get taken, you can’t mention the crooks by name in this column, but there’s always Facebook. As long as you post the information so that only your closest friends, and not the general public can read it, you probably won’t get sued for libel, but the word will get out and hopefully force these crooks out of business.
THE BC GOVERNMENT is in no
hurry to settle the BCTF strike. Around Christmas time, teachers will be low on cash and parents will be really, really upset - a deal will be reached. The wealthy will pay more taxes, good teachers will get a good raise, poor teachers will be weeded out, and retired teachers will no longer be on call. And ----pigs will fly.

mox Lake water during this drought, but it’s unlikely that stage 2 or 3 water restrictions will make much difference to Comox Lake levels. Climate change is here, and as predicted in CVRD studies, inflows are lower than historical inflows. BC Hydro controls the reservoir- they will need to shut down power generation until inflows increase.

You can’t just inconsiderately butt in line and block someone who is clearly in the process of dealing with their boat, create chaos, and inefficiency, and a situation where now only two boats can be taken out where three could have been done quite easily, safely, and logically, and then expect that people are not going to get upset with your unobservant and selfcentred ways. As I was walking up to get my truck and trailer rig I stopped you when you just showed up, before you put your trailer in the water, to let you know that you were going to block my access for my trailer which I was just going to get, as the equipment and boat I had was now organized for easy and expedient loading. Your deceitful tactic was to trick me into thinking

KAT CURTIS – It is always so difficult to stand down on a search that doesn’t have the results we all wanted to see. But I also think we need to be cognizant and thank all those who put in long days/nights to do everything they could to find her. To all the Search and Rescue people (from all over), plus all the others (including all the volunteers who showed up on the weekend) sincere thanks for trying your very best. To the Apps family, thinking of you at this difficult time.

you would co-operate in “10 seconds”, and simply move your rig over to the middle where there was a great deal of room beside the other boat coming out, and where you should have gone in the first place, so that three of us could take out at the same time rather than just two ... but no that was not what you did! When I went to get my trailer after peacefully speaking with you to let you know you were causing a problem you just proceeded to selfishly put your trailer in the water anyhow, and then go and get your boat which was not lined up and ready like I was, and you then took about 15 minutes to fart around and try and get your boat out of the water with your poorly trained kids as helpers, and then proceed to block me even further by not moving up and out of the way once it was out! Were you drinking or on drugs? It sure seemed like it! By the time that ignorant delay passed a new guy showed up who tangled the situation even further as we could not understand why you were just sitting there further blocking access, when your boat was now on the trailer and out of the water! Previous to that when I tried to stop you again as you were prancing off along the dock to get your boat you added more lying to your ignorance and told me you were already in the water when I first tried to get you to smarten up, and easily move over one space, so we could both take-out! Grow up and smarten up, and people will find you a lot easier to deal with, because your attitude towards others right now SUCKS!

Local artist Bridge to be featured at Filberg Lodge Submitted
Primarily a landscape artist, Ron Bridge has been busy the last year painting a variety of subjects. What is the catalyst for inspiration? Ron muses that it’s usually a feeling – something that compels one to paint: the play of light in a natural setting, the patina of age on an aging building, the character in a person’s face. “One of the delights of painting”, says Bridge, “is that it forces one to ‘see’, to look deeply and really appreciate the myriad colours,
textures, and light.” Once he’s absorbed the setting he returns to his Cloudburst Studio and, using his sketches and composites from multiple photos, he manipulates his artistic license by freely suggesting colours and working to create the mood he experienced. Ron has an impressive exhibiting record; his work has been on display locally at the Originals Only show, Timms’s Fine Art Gallery, Comox Valley Art Gallery, the Wilsden Gallery and the Royal Bank Courtenay. In Vancouver he has exhibited at the Vancouver Board of Trade and Molson Indy Charity. Currently his work is exhibited at Crown Isle and his own Cloudburst Studio on Forbidden Plateau Road. This year’s exhibit, art enthusiasts will see an eclectic, yet powerful mix of local, Canadian, US landscapes and Asian/European subjects. Ron Bridge’s solo show is at the Filberg Lodge in Comox on July 26 and 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entry is free and everyone is welcome.

Everyone loves a good fairy tale. The knight slaying the dragon and rescuing the princess, the prince saving a kingdom and choosing his bride . . . but this summer, the princesses are saving the kingdom and the dragons are helping. Theatreworks’s Summerstage production The Wizard’s Tale: Quest For The Magic Key takes the traditional ideas of fairy tales and turns them upside-down and inside-out. Written and directed by Theatreworks owner Kymme Patrick, The Wizard’s Tale has a cast whose ages range from five to 12 years old. Patrick has been working with children for many years and she is now seeing a new generation come in. One of her current students is the eight-year-old daughter of one of Patrick’s former students, whom Patrick taught when the alumna was 10. When writing scripts, Patrick
Patrick plays with stereotypes and assumptions, and her characters will surprise and delight their audience. Summerstage also has a mentor program, which allows young adults to work backstage with the young cast, learning about directing and stage managing as they assist. While the mentors learn from Patrick, the young cast of the show learns from them. This ‘giving back’ environment is one Patrick enjoys and encourages in all her work. In fact, several of her current mentors are former Summerstage students. The Wizard’s Tale is a wonderful play full of laughter and fun. It is appropriate for all ages and opens on July 24, with 7 p.m. shows on July 24 and 25, and a 1 p.m. matinee on July 26. The play will be performed at Gaglardi Academy – 1475 Noel Ave. (formerly Brooklyn Elementary School). Tickets are $10 each and are available at Laughing Oyster Books and Red Carpet Boutique.

Big Band music at Anderton Gardens Submitted
It’s time to mark your calendar for this Sunday afternoon at The Gardens On Anderton when the Strathcona Little Big Band plays the first of three scheduled summer music concerts. Each of the summer concerts is based on a theme; this event is entitled Summer of ’42, featuring a host of wonderful big band classics. This is live band music in a classic garden setting, brought to you collaboratively by Anderton Therapeutic Garden Society and Georgia Straight Jazz Society. Gates open at 1 p.m. Music goes from 2-4. Admission is $10. Children under 14 are free. Marquees will be erected to provide shade to those who need it. In addition, the schedule will offer you the opportunity to stroll around the magnificent gardens. Strathcona Little Big Band comprises musicians from all around the Comox Valley region. They will be presenting their interpretation of
many big band favourites, including a tribute to some of the bands that became famous during the Second World War. Not only will you be entertained by some of the great tunes from the 1940s, including In The Mood and Sing Sing Sing, you will also be charmed by the vocals from the wonderful Amy Lelliot. She will be singing modern renditions of Fly Me To The Moon, I’m Beginning To See The Light and the ballad When I Fall In Love. Into its fifth season, the band’s sound has matured significantly as it plays its own brand of high energy, entertaining big band music. Little in name only, the band consists of a full sax section, a seven-piece brass section (four trumpets, three trombones) and an exceptional rhythm section. Parking is available at the venue, and you are encouraged to car pool if possible. Anderton Nursery is located at 2012 Anderton Rd.

Have guitar, will travel. If singer-songwriter Raine Hamilton needed a catchphrase, that could be it. The Winnipeg-based musician will be starting her inaugural tour in B.C., with a stop at Studiolive in Cumberland July 31, and is willing to get there by any transportation necessary. “I really wanted to do a car-less tour,” she explained over the phone from her Winnipeg home. “The area is dense enough so practically speaking I can be resourceful, and also it’s very environmentally-friendly.” Hamilton, who describes herself as a cross between Joni Mitchell and a musical Tina Fey, said she is coming to the west coast through Via Rail’s Artists on Board program, which offers complimentary or reduced fare travel for professional musicians in return for performing on board. She is promoting her debut EP Small Packages, and credits her musical skills to her parents. “I come by it naturally. In the ‘70s, my parents had a band called Nighthawk and they were very musical; my father was a singer-songwriter,” she noted. Hamilton describes her songs as “heartfelt but not gloomy” and “honest and vulnerable” with a clear, ringing voice, transporting listeners to the honest, rumbling underbelly of life. Although born in Victoria, Hamilton said ‘being a prairie person’ she’s looking forward to seeing the west coast landscape and the variety of shows on tour, including intimate house concerts to the Bathtub Days Fair in Nanaimo. She explained she has enough material to adapt to a variety of different audiences.

“What many people might not realize is the basis of the Durango was developed by Mercedes-Benz for its GL-Class vehicle and Dodge in turn took that same platform and made it into the Durango.”

Trucking in style through the big wide open There’s nothing like a the big doors and the easy-to-access back seat, summer road trip in British and were surprised at Columbia, where we are how huge the cargo area spoiled with some of the is when the third row of most scenic beauty the seats is folded flat. My world has to offer. youngest Charlie helped My last adventure was me load and unload from Vancouver to Kelowna to visit some friends City fuel economy and he noticed the low power lift gate switch and hang by the lake, get that shorter people can a bit of tubing time behind can be frightening our gracious host’s boat but I was surprised at access easily. and take full advantage of how good this truck Inside some B.C. wine. time you get four is, even when taking Any The wonderful thing people in a car for over about my job is that I get advantage of the new four hours the high and to hand pick the vehicle 120 km/h speed limit low points of the interior for heading out on the design bubble to the on the Coquihalla highway, and I always surface. My wife instantlike something roomy and highway. ly loved the two-tone powerful with cars – with Zack Spencer black and beige leather German often on the seats that are heated top of my list. Instead of and, more importantly, an Audi A7 diesel, this time around I cooled for hot summer days. She also selected the full-size, truck-based Duappreciated the big 8.4-inch uConnect rango SUV from Dodge and surprisingly screen that is only offered on this top it does have some German roots.

On the latest Durango; we had the very same way out of Vancouver, Charlie instantly grey Citadel version over the Christmas fell asleep and didn’t wake up until break last year. Same thing, I wanted Chilliwack for a Tim Horton’s break, so something big to move people around the seats must be comfy. Jack on the over the holidays. That stretch was other hand spent the better part of mostly city driving – this time it was the trip playing on his iPhone but the wide-open road. What many people Citadel is equipped with flip-up screens might not realize is the basis of the for gaming consoles and DVD movies. Durango was developed by Mercedes-Benz for its GL-Class vehicle and Drive Dodge in turn took that same platform My seat was a good spot to take stock and made it into the Durango. My two of a few things, primarily fuel economy. boys, Jack,12, and Charlie, nine, love This is a big rig and was equipped with
‘‘
’’
the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h. The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable. Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the
Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference. Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8. My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares. The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

Don’t allow your child to be an unrestrained projectile By Keith Morgan Car smashes are the leading cause of accidental death among children in British Columbia. According to government statistics, every year more than 1,300 children under nine are injured or killed. Putting that in scary perspective, that’s the equivalent of around five elementary schools. It’s estimated that the proper use of child car safety seats reduce the risk of injury by a massive 85 per cent and
to reflect our laws. While it is required here that children under 12 months must be placed in a rear-facing seat, it’s acceptable for children aged one to transfer to a forward facing seat. The Swedes take issue with that and say it’s better they stay in a rear-facing seat as long as possible, often beyond three years. The booklet explains that a baby’s head is large and heavy in relation to the rest of its body but its neck is just not strong enough to deal with the forces that T:8.5”
For years, the BC Automobile Association Child Passenger Safety Program has provided solid information, resources and training to make sure parents do install these lifesavers correctly (http://www. bcaa.com/road-safety/child-passengersafety/overview). Now Volvo has produced a fabulous safety manual called Children & Cars, which is available free of charge at any Volvo dealership. It was penned for Sweden but the text in the Canadian version has been adapted
death by 70 per cent. Very frightening then to contemplate that around five per cent of parents don’t put their children in seats and of those that do, more than half improperly install them. It’s an issue to which I’m particularly attuned after the recent birth of my first grandson. I found myself grappling with a rear-facing car seat – as legally required. After a few bruised knuckles and bruised head from bashing it on the door frame, Francis was installed safely as was his seat.
would rock it in a frontal collision. And a detailed diagram of how neck vertebrae develops sure bolsters that assertion. In fact, the author argues we probably all should travel backwards for safety’s sake! This was a revelation: at a speed of just 40 km/h, a child that weighs only 30 kgs will suddenly weigh the equivalents of a tonne (1,000 kgs) in a collision. Imagine that baby as an unrestrained project . . . no don’t, it’s just too gruesome.

to national junior volleyball team
Earle Couper Record Staff
The XX Commonwealth Games opened July 23 in Glasgow, Scotland, and Black Creek’s Cameron Levins is wearing the Maple Leaf in two athletics events. Levins is scheduled to arrive in the athletes’ village today and is looking forward to the Games. “I’ve been training in France and I should be ready to go. I’m feeling good and have been running well recently,” he said. Canada plans to send a team of 267 athletes, with several Olympic and world championship medallists among the group, along with some rising stars. Athletics will once again highlight the program in Glasgow, with some 50 events over seven days. The action starts July 27 with the men’s and women’s marathons on the streets of Glasgow, plus the opening track and field events at renovated 52,000-seat Hampden Park, home of Scotland’s national soccer team. Levins is scheduled to run in two events, the 5000m on Sunday, July 27 and the 100000m on Friday, Aug. 1. Supporters of the 2012 Olympian can catch his races on YouTube at http://news. stv.tv/west-central/282759glasgow-2014-gamesto-be-streamed-live-onyoutube-for-first-time/, with the 5000m at 9:40 a.m. B.C. time and the 10000m on Aug. 1 at 12:05 p.m. B.C. time.

UBC Thunderbirds men’s volleyball player Joel Regehr has been named to Volleyball Canada’s national junior team. Regehr, a 6-foot-7 middle from Courtenay, red-shirted last season at UBC. He was selected to the junior team program following the National Team Challenge Cup, which was held July 15-20 in Gatineau, Que. He is one of 14 athletes taking part in a five-day training camp at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Following the camp, 12 players will be chosen to travel to San Salvador, El Salvador for the U21 NORCECA Continental Championship, July 27 to Aug. 4. The top two teams from this tournament will earn a berth at the 2015 FIVB U21 World Championship. Regehr represented Team BC at the National Challenge Cup last summer. He played his high school volleyball at Mark R. Isfeld Secondary in Courtenay. His mother, Donna Baydock, is a UBC graduate and a former coach of the women’s volleyball team. She was named the Canada West and CIS Coach of the Year in 1989. He said his mother’s history with Canada’s most successful athletic program is one of the big reasons he chose to play for the T-Birds. “The men’s program is attractive to play for because of the calibre of young, talented guys who are on the team right now
JOEL REGEHR
and that I’ll get to play with over the next couple years,” said Regehr at the time he joined the T-Birds. “I also enjoy coach Schick’s coaching style and feel like I can become the best I can be with the resources at UBC and the guidance of coach Schick and (assistant) coach Matt LeBourdais.” In 2013, Regehr was ranked as the No. 5 graduating player in B.C. high school boys volleyball by The Province newspaper. “Joel’s a guy who’s flown under the radar for a while,” said UBC coach Richard Schick last spring in announcing Regehr’s decision to join UBC. “With his size and physical ability, he’s going to be an outstanding CIS player. “He’s been really well coached through his early club and high school years by someone who knows and understands the game and is a player who … has really good overall skills,” Schick added.

Valley athletes haul in medals at Summer Games Earle Couper Record Staff
Comox Valley athletes helped boost Zone 6 (Vancouver IslandCentral Coast) to a second-place finish at the 2014 BC Summer Games, which ran July 17-20 in Nanaimo.
Zone 6 finished with 183 medals (75 gold, 56 silver, 52 bronze), second only to Zone 3 (Fraser Valley) who amassed 207 medals (79 gold, 72 silver, 56 bronze). Local results (from the Games website) are online at www. comoxvalleyrecord.com; click on ‘Sports’.
For complete results, photos, and stories about the 2014 BC Summer Games, visit www. bcgames.org. At Sunday’s closing ceremonies, four-time Olympian and BC Games Society board member Dave Calder spoke to the athletes and reminded them that
medals and successes are not the only things to be taken from these Games. “Remember that you learn lessons from all your successes and failures and each experience is important,” Calder said. A Games’ spokesperson said Nanaimo was a superb host with
over 3,200 volunteers working on every detail of the planning and staging of the Games. Local businesses contributed in excess of $900,000 to support the Games. The next BC Games will be the 2016 BC Winter Games in Penticton. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Children can learn important life skills outdoors T
he term life skills suggests skills that we do throughout our life time. This column is primarily about fishing, hunting and the outdoors in general. Childhood is when we develop many of the complex skills of living that we take for granted such as walking, running, swimming, jumping and so forth. Childhood is also a time when we develop many of the skills that lead to a lifetime in pursuing outdoor activities. Simple skills such as rowing a boat, paddling a canoe, can lead to a life of exploring and associated water skills. Fishing can be a many faceted recreational skill that is dependent on the successful combination of many of the above skills. The simple challenge of fishing with worms and a spinning outfit can lead to the more challenging skills of casting lures and trolling a variety of tackle and baited hooks. The summertime is when many children get the opportunity to be outdoors in water settings where they can lay the foundations for lifetimes of outdoor pursuits. The other day I was in a small boat on Comox Lake at the fish and game club campground and I was impressed by the large number of children playing and swimming in protected waters along the beach. These types of skills lead to a psychological comfort in being near water. They are also good times to teach the precautionary skills of safety in the outdoors and in aquatic environments. One of the basic skills of successful angling is a combined love of nature and the exciting systems that make it work. For the balance of this week and into next week there are a series of midday low tides that expose large areas of tidal foreshore and inter-tidal pools. These are golden opportunities to spend time on the beach with your children and let them explore the complicated life systems in our exposed beaches. These biological miracles in our local tidal pools and beaches can lay the foundation for love and respect for nature. Time spent in
are many types of snails, leeches, salamanders and small aquatic nymphs that are insects in various stages of development. While some of these creatures may have direct application to angling activities, they are also examples of the complex world of nature. When the child actively participates in digging worms for bait or catching grasshoppers, they are adding a whole new dimension to their fishing experience.
OUTDOORS
RALPH SHAW Throughout all of the above activities it is incumbent on the parents and adults to teach the children that the creatures must not be mistreated, and when disturbed they should be returned to their home environment as soon as pos-
sible. As general rule I am not a great fan of promoting children in serious saltwater fishing; however pink salmon are relatively small fish that can give a child a real thrill. 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.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.
“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Isabella Maud (nee Hayes) Edgett June 6, 1921 – July 4, 2014
:PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET
Isabelle lived a very long life filled with family and friends, laughter and tears, happy times and sad times. She just celebrated her 93rd birthday at Monte Christos’ Restaurant on June 6 with 32 of her relatives. Isabella Maud Hayes was born on June 6, 1921 in North Vancouver. Her family moved to Read Island when she was 6 and she had many cherished memories of her life up Coast. She met and married Jim Edgett on Read Island, and then they moved to Courtenay in 1940 where they raised their 6 children. They moved to Minto Road in “Happy Valley� in 1949 then back to Courtenay on Lake Trail Road in 1958 where they ran a farm market and a backhoe business, built two triplex apartments and a mobile home park. Beginning in 1972 she & Jim spent several summers on their boat “M.V. Mamita� patrolling for the Fisheries until they retired and moved to Comox. She lost Jim in 1983 then spent the next 12 years keeping busy with her family, her flower garden, travelling, knitting, doing crosswords and playing 5 pin, lawn and carpet bowling. She was a member of the Order of Royal Purple for over 35 years and she was Honoured Royal Lady in 1983. She worked at the Tuesday Night Bingo for many years. She was also a member of St. George’s UCW, the Evergreen Seniors and the Old Age Pensioners. She volunteered wholeheartedly. She lost her eldest son, Barry, in 1989 following a car accident the previous year. She met Ray Scott in 1995 and married him in 1996. At Ray’s request Isabelle did not change her last name to Scott. He said too many people knew her as Edgett in the Valley as she had lived here for so many years. They had many wonderful trips and enjoyed life to the fullest together. Unfortunately he died in 1999. She is also pre-deceased by her parents Harold and Maude Hayes, her brothers; Hubert, Harold and Arthur (Bill) Hayes and Ernest and Alfred Lilburn, her sisters; Vera Spracklin, Dorothy Johanson and Hilda Reeve, daughter-in-law Carol Edgett and step-daughter Heather Hand. Isabelle is survived by sons; Ross (Donna), John (Karen) and Phillip (Jean) Edgett and daughters; Shirley (Dale) Stewart and Lynda (Jack) Hornstein, daughter-in-law; Marijanne Edgett and grandchildren; Jim, Joanna (Brandon), Tara (Mark), Erin (Dan), Munro, Jamie (Justin), Kelsi (Rick) and Colton, great-grandchildren; brand new baby Linden, Brynlee, Niomi, Sonja and Braiden. Also step-sons; Mark (Lynn), Stephen (Debbie), Keith and Mike Scott and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to express deep gratitude for all the tender loving care she has received over the last few years at Comox Valley Senior’s Village from all of the staff. You were all very special to her and she loved you all like family. She reconnected with many old friends there and made many new ones as well. Thanks to Dr. Fehlau and all the staff at Comox Medical especially during the years she lived in the condo above the office. A celebration of her life will be held at St. George’s United Church in Courtenay, July 26, 2014, 1 pm. Donations to the Order of Royal Purple and St. George’s United Church in her memory would be appreciated. No flowers please.

TAIT, EARL WILSON of Comox, BC November 22, 1931 - July 17, 2014
Earl passed away peacefully with his family by his side at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox after a very short illness. He was born in Wadena, Saskatchewan, and left at an early age to join the military and later serve in the Korean War with the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry. After many postings; BC, Ontario, the Yukon, Germany and Moose Jaw, Earl’s last posting brought him here to the Comox Valley. He retired from the Air Force in 1972, and soon began his career managing the Courtenay Legion, finally retiring in 1985. Earl had been a Legion member with service over 50 years and also a member of the Korean Veterans Association. Earl had a great love for all animals, and was a volunteer for over 30 years with the Comox Valley SPCA. His passions were shared with his soulmate and love of his life, Patricia Hurdle (predeceased 1999) of twenty-four years. They both enjoyed fishing, gardening, and caring for their wonderful dogs over the years (Lady, Duchess, Princess, Nona, Buddy, and most recently, Teddy). Earl is survived by his son, Stuart Tait (Theresa); Cathy Fowler (Ron Morfitt); Karen Eigler (John); the Hurdle stepchildren; Rob (Debra); Rick (Peggy) and John (Trudy); and his many grandchildren (11), and great-grandchildren (14). Earl was also predeceased by his first wife, Wynne Tait-Rasmussen, their infant son, Bruce, and a stepson, Paul Hurdle. The family would like to thank the staff on the first floor at St. Joseph’s, and especially Dr’s Stock and Dr. Ostry, nurses Laura (a.k.a. Spike) and Janice. The funeral and Poppy Service will be held July 29th, 2014 at the Courtenay Legion, Br. 17 at 2:00 p.m. (1400 hrs.). Following the service a tea will be held at the upper lounge in the Courtenay Legion (provided Auxiliary. Flowers by the Women’s Auxiliary). Flowers gratefully declined.

Catherine (Kay) Mutch I wish to inform you that Catherine (Kay) Mutch of Comox B.C. has moved on, leaving her body July 5, 2014. Kay had a wonderful life. She was born on a farm in Saskatchewan and spent her childhood and teen years helping her dad with the demands of the land and the animals. She enjoyed the farm, but as young people do, she moved off to the big city to find her future. There she met and married a handsome air force service man, John Richard (Dick) Bye. Kay and Dick had two children, Sandra and Ross and spent many years moving around Canada. Kay was always willing to go wherever the air force stationed Dick. The family eventually settled down in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on a small farm and then into town. Shortly after this, Dick’s sudden death left Kay to raise her two children alone. She did what she needed to do in finding a job and spent the next years nurturing and supporting her children. She also managed to fulfil her desire to have bigger experiences and travelled to Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Mexico, Costa Costa Rica, Rica Cuba and several Caribbean Islands. Later in life she met and married Bruce Mutch and they settled in Comox B.C. Kay was a very good mum, a good wife, and a good friend. She had an interesting way of creating humor in all situations. She became a grandmother of five and a great grandmother of eight. Kay was always kind and respectful and was understandably well liked. By age 95 her body was getting worn out and life began to be less fun, especially after she fell and broke a hip. Although she still managed to pull off some good times with the assistance of a wonderful care giver - Eda Watts, the promise of a better life grew dim. Kay decided that was enough and stopped eating and drinking. After reviewing her life and all wonderful things she accomplished Kay left her body and moved on in complete comfort and peace in the early morning July 5, 2014. She is missed by all who loved her. In lieu of flowers, please go and do something you love doing and feel grateful that you are able to do it.
Courtney Grant Hunter July 24, 1939 to July 14, 2014
Dear Dad, Dear Grandpa, Dear Husband: Heart of Gold...Humorous...Happy... Generous...Silly...Loving... These are words that easily come to mind when describing you Dad. You are gone now...left us when we weren’t ready for you to go... but you’d had enough and we must respect that...not like it, but respect it. The doctors and nurses did their best for you, but in the end your words and actions said “Let me go�, and we listened. We are so sad that you are gone, but we understand. We understand that your life was no longer one of humour, happiness and independence. We thank you for always doing your best for us, for sacrificing in so many ways for all of your family. We hope you are now having “coffee with the boys�, somewhere, driving that “model ‘T’ Ford� you always wanted, somewhere, and that you know how much we miss you, somewhere. Each of your grandchildren had a special, unique relationship with you...Josh, Stephanie, and Jessica. Your devotion to Mom, your loving wife Eileen was unprecedented in so many ways for almost 53 years. For the special times, sacrifice, and love you shared with Wayne and I throughout the years, we thank you and will never forget. Love you and miss you, Corinne No service will be held, by request. Any donations to the Diabetes Assoc. in lieu of flowers is appreciated.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father and friend. Robert ‘Bob’ English died on July 5th in Comox, BC at the age of 82. He is survived by Susan, his wife of 45 years, his children Jason (Yvonne) and Tara, and his grandchildren Dylan and Addyson. Born and raised in Melbourne AU, he travelled extensively before arriving in Toronto. There his career in business credit began with General Motors, continued with Allis Chalmers in Calgary AB & Dallas TX, then JI Case International in Regina SK until his retirement. Since then, he enjoyed pursuing volunteer opportunities, playing duplicate bridge and continued to convene the Liver Lovers’ functions. In 2007, they moved to Comox BC on Vancouver Island where he could look out at the ocean and ‘his’ mountains each morning. He was a proud “naturalized� Canadian! His life ended through complications from congestive heart failure after he observed his last July 1st. The family is grateful to our friends for their support to us, and to his medical team for his continual care. There will be a Celebration of Life at 2 pm on Tuesday, July 29th at Comox United Church, 250 Beach Drive.

off to the XTERRA World Championships in Maui are Comox Valley chiropractors Derek Vinge (left) and Clay Ward. Photo Submitted
Locals off to XTERRA World Championships Two local health-care providers, Dr. Derek Vinge and Dr. Clay Ward, are set to represent the Comox Valley at the XTERRA World Championships in Maui, Hawaii on Oct. 26. The annual XTERRA Victoria took place July 6 at Durrance Lake and Mount Work Regional Park. Both Vinge and Ward placed in the top spot in their age category, each earning a coveted qualification spot at the XTERRA World Championships in Maui. The Victoria event is part of the Xterra World Tour and challenges athletes with a combination of open water swimming, cross-country mountain biking, and technical trail running. Rain on race day resulted in wet and difficult conditions, however the local chiropractors represented the Comox Valley in perfect form. In addition to top placement in their respective age categories, Vinge and Ward both finished in the top three overall. Vinge finished second behind Elite Olympian Brent McMahon in a time of 2:09:37 followed by Ward in 2:14:42. “I have trained for months aiming for this race, and it all came together on the day,” Vinge said after the race. Vinge is the owner/ chiropractor at Fit Chiropractic in downtown Courtenay, and said he recently moved to the Comox Valley for the lifestyle and endless options of activities. Ward is the owner/chiropractor at Dynamic Spine, Sport and Wellness in Courtenay and is also a recent transplant. “The Comox Valley is a thriving community that provides all the training and recreational
opportunities to prepare for this level of racing,” Ward says. The chiropractors will face tough competition in Maui – both professional and amateur athletes will be competing in the three-stage race. Athletes will have to be in peak condition to master the difficult course, which has been described as a tropical roller coaster. The race begins with a 1.5 kilometre rough water swim near D.T. Flemmings Beach in Kapalua, followed by a 32-kilometre mountain bike ride up and down the slopes of the West Maui Mountains, and concludes with a 10-kilometre run along steep dirt trails through oleander fields and around mountain lakes. Vinge and Ward both have their sights set on the world championship title for their respective categories, but also recognize that it is a major accomplishment just to have qualified for the prestigious event. “It is a fantastic opportunity to be able to represent Canada and the Comox Valley at this level of competition,” Ward says. Both chiropractors are living by example on a daily basis by keeping an active and healthy way of life. In addition, both Vinge and Ward have been selected for the Active Release Technique (ART) Therapy Team for the July 27 Ironman Canada in Whistler. ART is a state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves and is widely utilized by Olympians and high level athletes.
Cards sweep visitors
The Comox Valley Cardinals hosted the “A” Rep team from Stuart Channel (Chemainus/Ladysmith) this past Sunday and came up with two big wins. Game one was a great back-andforth battle with Comox Valley coming out on top 8-6. The Cards got strong hitting from lead-off kid Gabe Schovanek going 2-3 and Brier Pilon going 2-3 with two RBI. Game two was even stronger with a great pitching performance from
starter Jacob Volkers going four solid innings and helping himself at the plate, going 3-4 in a 13-2 victory. Logan Nijhoff had a day hitting, going 3-4 with 3 RBI and was a homer away from the cycle. Jaden Barr pounded the ball as well, going 3-3. “The boys play two doubleheaders next weekend so look for some exciting positive results again from these all stars!” a team spokesperson said. – Comox Valley Cardinals
