Salmon fishing in waters off the Comox Valley is outstanding this year, but hot temperatures and dry conditions could mean lower stocks in future years.

HOW COOL IS THAT?
High temperatures, low snowmelt, could spell disaster down the line “We’re having excellent fishing in our local waters this year,” said Comox Valley Record outdoors columnist Ralph Shaw, who is an avid fisherman. But, “I’m also very concerned with the warm weather … the warm water — salmon can’t handle it. “It just puts the temperature in the water beyond the limits that the fish can reproduce.” Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Puntledge River watershed enhancement manager Darcy Miller said if fish aren’t able to spawn or if juveniles die en route to the ocean, salmon stocks in the ocean could decrease in two to five years — as time to mature varies between salmon species. “It’s not unusual for the Comox Valley to experience warm summers,” said Miller. “But, this summer, because we’ve had such a dry winter, low snow pack, generally most of the systems in our area are going to be negatively impacted by that with long-term effects, (such as) mortality in juvenile fish, and therefore, reduced adult abundance (in future years).” As of Friday, the temperature in the Puntledge River was 18 degrees Celsius, which is stressful on the fish.

Cumberland considering stance on tanker traffic Delegation asks council to follow lead of other communities Renee Andor Record Staff
Cumberland council will consider this month whether it wants to take a stance on proposals to increase tanker traffic in B.C. waters. Council heard Monday from a citizenled delegation requesting council adopt a
resolution stating its opposition to bitumen export pipeline proposals, which would lead to increased tanker traffic off B.C.’s coast. According to the proposed resolution, 35 B.C. community governments — including Kitimat, (which stands to gain the most from the Northern Gateway project), large municipalities like Vancouver and Victoria, and the Union of BC Municipalities and the Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities — have already adopted similar resolutions.

Search continues for missing hiker Erin Haluschak Record Staff
Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue continue to search for missing hiker Sylvia Apps, who was last seen July 11 south on Castlecrag Mountain, and due to return last Sunday at Paradise Meadows on Mount Washington. Paul Berry, information officer/SAR manager for CVGSAR, said the crew received a report from two reliable witnesses who saw Apps — an experienced hiker and a member of the Comox District Mountaineering Club
— around 4 p.m. last Friday and had spotted her blue backpack. “We located her backpack where they said it was, and everything was there except her walking Sylvia poles and camera. We are now concentrating on the point where she was last seen,” he explained. Apps, 69, went hiking 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. Berry said could Apps Apps have put her pack down for a variety of reasons. “She could have been wanting to go to the final summit and wanted to lighten her load. We know she had summited Castlecrag Mountain on (July) 10th because she signed the register,” he added.
He explained they believe she travelled to Mount Frink on July 11. “She probably left the backpack to do that or left it for a short time to do some photography.” Berry said 34 searchers are concentrating on the area south and southeast of Castlecrag from first to last light, along with dog teams, two helicopters, tracking teams and a rope team. Police are asking anyone who was in the area and may have come across or spoken to Apps to contact Comox Valley RCMP at

The stretch of hot, dry July weather has raised the Fire Danger Rating to high, with a campfire restriction being considered for the Comox Valley, according to information from The Coastal Fire Centre. Donna MacPherson, fire information officer for the centre, said the rating takes into consideration the number of days without rain, how high the temperature rises, wind conditions and humidity. “It’s a numerical figure which really looks at how easy it is for fire to consume fuel and how hard it is to put it out once it gets going,” she explained. The centre also looks at the Fire Fuel Ignition, which is how easy it is for a fire to start. “When it’s extremely dry, it’s easy for a fire to start from anything from an ATV going through grasses or a spark from a cigarette. (The Fire Fuel Ignition and Fire Danger Rating) are the two markers we are closely looking at,” she added. Currently, there are no active wildfires in the area, but MacPherson said if anyone is considering camping this weekend, to visit bcwildfire.ca for up-todate campfire bans and also to check with local municipalities. MacPherson noted the considerable spike in temperatures this month is abnormal, particularly following “a long slow start to the fire season. “We had a regular pattern of rain, dry weather, rain, dry weather. It didn’t stress the forest. “Now it is extremely hot for coastal sections … with the hot air being pumped up from the States. It’s starting to moderate, with pulses of low pressure on Thursday and increased winds, which is a return of normal summer patterns.” She added although the latter part of the week is showing a reduction in recordbreaking temperatures and a possibility of precipitation, the air is

Tankers: Courtenay, Comox councils turned down earlier delegation requests Continued from A1 “We ask here that the Village of Cumberland join these communities because our immediate coastal areas are vulnerable to the damage of increased super-tanker traffic and the inevitable spills they will cause,” reads the preamble to the proposed resolution. Cumberland council waits until its next scheduled meeting before considering matters brought up by delegations to council, so consideration is scheduled for Monday, July 28. However, some councillors voiced their thoughts Monday. Coun. Gwyn Sproule noted she was supportive of a resolution stating opposition.
“I think you’re preaching to the converted,” she told delegation member and Valley resident Jim Curtin. “The route that the tankers have to take is through some of the most unspoiled wilderness and the most convoluted waterways, with rocky shores.” As Cumberland director on the Comox Valley Regional District board, she noted that board has written “very clear letters” opposing area coal licences being issued by the Province, but its municipal “voice is not being heeded over and over again.” The proposed resolution notes a number of Cumberland citizens work in the Alberta oil fields and states a concern about long-
term jobs if product is shipped unrefined, pointing to a need for refinement in Canada to “enhance job creation and tax revenue.” Coun. Kate Greening liked the economic considerations outlined in the proposed resolution. “What I really like in the resolution actually is encouraging Canada to enhance job creation within our own country,” she said. “When you just export everything including jobs, logs and oil, you’re actually being not really a real country, like you’re just a subsidiary of another country where you’re sending them all your stuff. So, I think to really lean on the enhancement of job creation and refining in Canada makes a
lot more sense.” Comox and Courtenay turned down earlier delegation requests; Comox Mayor Paul Ives told the Record the committee that sets Comox council agendas decided the issue was not in the Town’s jurisdiction, and Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula said it was not within Courtenay council’s mandate. However, Comox Council was expected to consider Wednesday whether to allow the delegation (after the Record’s deadline) as the decision to deny the request for a delegation was appealed. Courtenay council is expected to do the same at its Monday council meeting. Dave Mills of Dogwood Initiative, who
Fish: Waterways without flow control at greatest risk Continued from A1 Though warm temperatures are a concern to Miller, he noted temperatures in the Puntledge can get higher. “It is not uncommon that we reach temperatures of 20 degrees in the Puntledge River in the summer,” he said. “One year we hit 25 degrees — there was a lot of mortality of juvenile fish associated with that,” he said, adding nothing can be done to lower river temperatures. Water levels are another matter. BC Hydro manages flows in Puntledge River and works with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to ensure water levels are high enough for fish. Low water flows later in the summer and early-fall are a major concern in terms of spawning fish, said Miller, who notes BC Hydro is conserving water in the Comox Lake reservoir in preparation for spawning time. “This is shaping up as one of our drier years,” he said, adding the weather forecasts could change from the warm, dry weather of late.” But, “unless we get precipitation throughout the summer and in early-fall, it’s potentially going to be very tough … We deal with it each year, but this year has started a little bit under the bus.” According to a July 10 BC Hydro status report, the Comox Lake reservoir is sitting at 134.3 metres, which is 0.7 metres
below average for this time of year. The snow pack was depleted about one month earlier than normal, and inflows to Comox Lake are at historical lows. Low water levels also mean the chances of a
retention fishery this September/October are less likely, and Miller said there is a “strong chance” there will be no retention this year. As well, Miller pointed out other Comox Valley rivers and streams don’t have the flow-

Kind acts can expose drivers to risk
H
ave you ever Behind the Wheel pulled up to an intersection and found another driver who has the im right of way waving you on? Such acts of chewe courtesy are uncommon on our highways but thankfully are not unheard of. Who would guess that such an act of kindness could actually expose the driver extending the courtesy to risk? During defensive driving classes in basic training we were taught never to wave another driver on. The reason behind this instruction was pos-
S
T
sible civil liability if the driver that was waved on was then involved in a collision. It is less confusing for the driver with the right of way to take it and move out of the way. This frees up the lane for the other driver to continue in the manner that everyone expects. Please don’t forget about courtesy to others when you are driving, but choose to exercise it in a safe manner and consider not waving other drivers ahead of yourself in a situation where you have the right of way. Save the wave to say thank you instead! For more information about this topic, visit www.drivesmartbc.ca. Questions or comments are welcome by e-mail to comments@drivesmartbc. ca. Tim Schewe is a retired RCMP constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. His column appears Thursdays.
Sewer line upgrades to disrupt Headquarters traffic The City of Courtenay began upgrades to the sanitary sewer pipes along Headquarters Road and Vanier Drive this week. The project will replace old infrastructure and improve sewer capacity in the area. From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, the project will result in traffic delays and periods of single-lane alternating traffic on Headquarters Road and Vanier Drive. Work will continue until the end of September. The work zone is on Headquarters Road between Glacier Drive and Vanier Drive, and
on Vanier Drive to the entrance of the Comox Valley Sports Centre. The $1 million project is by far Courtenay’s largest sewer upgrade in Courtenay in 2014. Around 400 metres of old sewer pipe are being replaced. Approximately 1,200 metres of new sewer pipe are being installed to close a gap in the sewer network and improve performance.

Two youth from the Youth and Ecological Restoration Program will give a nature tour through Wildwood Marsh and Forest, Sunday, July 20 at noon. This is a YER, Phase II project funded by BC Ministry of Children and Family Development and Comox Valley Regional District, Community Services Branch. Wildwood Marsh Park, a CVRD park since 2004, was donated as a conservation area and has a small covenant held by The Land Conservancy. An important local wildlife area, it is home to beavers, many species of birds and sometimes elk. The marsh is fed by two small streams and drained by Smit Creek, a seasonal tributary of the Tsolum River. The adjacent Wildwood Interpretive Forest has a trail network managed by CVRD in partnership with Ministry of Forests since 2002. This Crown land forest provides habitat for populations of bear, cougar and deer. The northern part of the forest was harvested and replanted around 1994, while the southern portion is a mature second growth forest. Registered biologist Ian Moul will guide the YERII ecological inventory of Wildwood Marsh and Forest, and write a report for the CVRD. Two youth will learn scientific research methods used to understand the plants and animals that live in this area. The youth will share the ecological knowledge gained from this work experience and training program. The public is welcome to join the tour, and to learn about the ecology of Wildwood Marsh and Forest, located north of Courtenay. Go on Condensory Road, turn left on Burns Road, left on Wildwood Road, and park along the road at 5440 Wildwood Rd., which is across from the trail. We will meet you there.

Porsche Macan: High performer tops the price list too
‘‘
’’
Drives-U-Crazy Stop means stop!
Stop signs mean stop now, not eventually. There’s little that’s more scary when you are moving briskly along a major city arterial route than to be confronted suddenly by a car rolling at a clip over a stop line from a side road on the right. The driver knows whether the car is going to stop before entering the highway. I don’t because I’m not a mind reader. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
the Macan was pushed very hard around the racetrack. For regular commuting the S is just fine. Verdict I love the way the Macan looks, the interior is wonderful and the handling can be very sporty if the buyer chooses. Here is the issue; the Macan can get very expensive in a hurry. All of the cars I drove in California were over $100,000 with features like PASM, additional air suspension and sport-chrono settings for the seven-speed duel clutch automatic. When I configure a base S with the features I would want – like navigation, PASM, front and rear parking sensors, bigger wheels, Bose stereo and a few other odds and ends – the bill comes to almost $75,000, never mind the $82,200 starting price of the turbo. Having recently driven the spectacular Audi SQ5, from which this car is based, that 354hp rocket is a bargain at $60,000, almost fully equipped. I like the Macan, and they will sell every one to people who want to have the latest, but I think the pricing structure is a bit over the top. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

When the Porsche Cayenne was introduced, I questioned why the iconic sports car maker would build a grocerygetting SUV. Boy was I ever wrong. Porsche was not only successful introduced the Cayenne, it went into become its best-selling vehicle and – wait for it – I even bought one! So, with the latest introduction of a smaller SUV called Macan, there is less fanfare around the fact that it actually exists and more excitement about how it performs. The bigger question is with I love the way the so many small luxury SUVs entering the market, is the Macan looks, the Macan worth the $54,300 to interior is wonderful get a base model or $82,200 and the handling can for the turbo? Looks be very sporty if the The Macan uses same buyer chooses. platform as the Audi Q5, a Volkswagen Group sibling, Zack Spencer but features an entirely different body shell and engine options. The most striking design element is the wide hood that folds over the side of the front fenders, making a seamless, wide stance that is impressive. The hood actually has cutouts for the headlamps and weighs only 17 kilograms. “Side blades” decorate the lower body of the Macan and can be ordered in black, a matching body colour or carbon fibre. The back end of the Macan is particularly sleek and tidy; the taillights wrap around from the side and into the tailgate with precession. It’s the lack of a trunk release that makes the design so pleasing. Instead, there’s a small button on the base of the windshield wiper that electronically releases the power tailgate. Below the tailgate, four exhaust tips tell passersby that this is a powerful machine. Inside What the Macan has over the Q5 is a level of interior refinement that is almost unmatched in the car business. It’s finished with fine leather and a simple design that makes interacting with his SUV a joy. There are several drawbacks though. The cargo area is long but the rake of the rear window limits taking larger objects inside the car. The back seat I find too small for a family of four people. Since I own a Cayenne, I have a great perspective on the amount of room this Macan offers. Legroom is obviously tighter, headroom is just OK, but it is the lack of space side-to-side that I find limiting. Whereas the Cayenne is a perfect family choice, the Macan I believe is suited for a single person or active professional couple. Not to say it couldn’t be use for family duty, it just wouldn’t be my choice. Drive The launch of the Macan in California provided a route that carved through the mountains outside of Los Angeles on the way to Willow Springs racetrack. Porsche always holds its events at a racecourse; proof that they believe they have something in this new SUV. There might be some confusion surrounding the naming of this car. Both the Macan S and Macan Turbo come fitted with a V6 turbo. The base model is a 3.0L V6 with 340 horsepower. The “Turbo” gets a larger 3.6L V6 with a higher output turbocharger and is rated at 400hp. The base model would be my choice. Driving in back country roads the power was fantastic and the additional money could be spent upgrading the suspension from the base steel springs to steel with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) that allows the driver to set the firmness of the ride. This upgrade was noticeable on the track. The turbo comes standard with this setup but the added power and expense was only really noticeable when

The ’59 Safari actually had two sets of fins on the top and the bottom of the rear fenders, making it look like a Redstone ballistic missile – which was probably not an accident. 1964-65 Chevrolet Chevelle — Two-door wagons are impractical to the point of defeating the purpose of having a wagon in the first place, but they look cool. We love the first-generation Chevelle two-door wagon for its handy size, great looks and the fact that all of the
mark for Chevrolet. It came in myriad body styles and was available with the first version of Chevrolet’s legendary small-block V-8. The two-door Nomad wagon gives even the convertible a serious run for its money in the cool department. 1959 Pontiac Safari — The 1950s were littered with cool station wagons with over-the-top styling. Our vote goes to the ’59 Pontiac Safari. That was the model year in which tail fins reached
of the 1960s and ’70s wasn’t exactly a company synonymous with high style. But the P1800 coupe was gorgeous, and for a few brief model years it was available as a very pretty two-door sports wagon. Nicknamed “Cinderella’s Coffin” by some for their long, flat roof lines and generous glass, these wagons are among the few truly collectible Volvos — and they run virtually forever.

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: Colin James joins Bonnie Raitt onstage at MusicFest
Send us your comments, views, concerns to editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com
INTERESTING THAT THE CVRD
Chairman and CAO are excluded from discussions on the 3 L Stotan Falls Development and that Comox Valley Taxpayers are covering the $10-20 thousand settlement. How much more is this issue going to cost Comox Valley taxpayers?
MANY HAPPY CANADA Days
to all the people involved in coming to assist in our medical emergency at the Canada Day Parade. Comox Valley Search and Rescue, the kind neighbour with the garden swing and water, family, friends, staff at St Joe’s, ambulance personnel, and the amazing staff at Royal Jubilee in Victoria. Our heartfelt thanks to you all. It proves that we must hold in high esteem Canada’s Health Care system and to be sure it is properly funded and staffed. What a wonderful country we have indeed!
“THUMBS UP” TO Mount Wash-
ington for handing out over 8,000 “two for one” vouchers for the Mile High Scenic Chair Ride at the Canada Day Parade. They were well received and many people took advantage of the savings.
HOW IS IT that local fire depart-
ments are praising the value of the Comox Fire Training Centre, but this training centre is not good enough for Courtenay council. The same old “them “and “us” thinking .Training is not the issue for recruitment and retention of volunteers-it’s money! If fire fighter volunteers were paid more to train and be on standby, somewhat

like full time firefighters are, there would be a full complement of well trained firefighters. The taxpayers’ money needs to go into attracting and retaining “volunteer” firefighters – not another training centre. This issue is another example for the need a of review of Comox Valley governments and cost of services.
MANY THANKS TO the young la-
dies working at Siefferts Farm Market. July 9 late morning, for their kindness to this elderly lady whose car wouldn’t start.
A BIG BOUQUET to the Town of Co-
mox from the Comox Valley Lions Club who express their sincere appreciation for the new signage showing the location of our Lions Den at 1729 (rear) Comox Ave.
THE SALVATION ARMY sends
a bus load of kids to Kids Camp each year and without the support of community minded folks such as Dave Smith of Comox Taxi it wouldn’t be possible. The Salvation Army’s community ministry director, family services co-ordinator and staff, volunteers, and the wonderful Comox Taxi team were there to assist in the early morning start off to camp on July 7.
LOTS OF THANKS to Dr. Thomlin-
son, Dr. Richardson, my family Doctor Dana Burry and all the nurses in the OR and on the surgical day care ward for removing my gallbladder. It was a great experience and I was lucky to have such wonderful people taking

TO THE GUY in the jacked-up Ford
Responses: TASHA RAFF LADOUCEUR Wished I could have been there.
F-150 (who probably needed a ladder to get into the driver’s seat): Have you not been watching the news? That cigarette you pitched out of your truck while cruising along Highway 19 could have easily started a fire. The grass along the road is timber dry, dude. Oh, and by the way… if you think tossing the butts out the window keeps the inside of the truck from smelling like cigarettes, it doesn’t. Keep your garbage in the truck. We don’t want it.
CHERYL EGAN MUNRO - That
THANK YOU FOR letting us voice our joys and frustrations uncensored. Freedom of speech is alive and well in your newspaper. Besides, I get a chuckle and some hearty belly laughs from reading some comments. It is also most interesting and educational when I have to look in my dictionary for the meaning of seldom-used words. And to the complainers who complain about complainers; you are welcome unconditionally to the Club of Complainers.
Responses:
TO THE CVRD: Could we please,
please, please have adequate walking and cycling lanes on regional district roads, wide enough and paved for safe cycling and walking. Lazo Road, Anderton Road, Knight Road, all need improvements. How much longer do we have to wait? And please, stop wasting money on “share the road” signs. We need safe walking and cycling lanes, not signs.

Laughing Oyster is a committed supporter of the Raise-A-Reader campaign, now entering its second year in the Comox Valley. Anytime between 2 – 3 p.m., don’t miss the chance to meet wellknown Comox Valley author Clyde Woolman in the Laughing Oyster rest tent. A favourite teacher and principal in the community, Woolman has also published two fiction books: Smugglers at the Lighthouse and Yurek: Edge of Extinction. Written for young readers age 10 and over, these adventure novels weave messages of tolerance and trust with wit, mystery,
action and a touch of magic. (Think Hardy Boys with a modern twist.) This year’s Market Day is a great
opportunity to meet the author, who will be pleased to sign copies of his books. – Laughing Oyster Bookshop

B.C.’s laws not tough enough
A
t least one person has not been deterred by B.C.’s tougher impaired driving laws. Victoria resident Suzanne Elizabeth Gurnell was charged earlier this week with four offences, including dangerous and impaired driving, all stemming from an incident with Victoria Police in April. Of course, new tougher laws were unlikely to deter Gurnell. After all, the old ones didn’t. Gurnell collects impaired driving prohibitions at the same rate that a philatelist collects stamps. She has 19 such offences in the past six years, including three drunk driving convictions. How she is still driving is beyond all reasonable argument. She is obviously not doing so legally, as this latest round of charges included driving with a suspended license. The fact that she still has a license to suspend speaks volumes for B.C.’s – and moreover, Canada’s – impaired driving laws. Impaired driving remains the leading cause of criminal death in Canada, according to Statistics Canada’s 2011 report (the most recent one available on the topic). The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse claims 8,431 people died on Canadian roads in crashes involving a drinking driver in the first decade of this century. Clearly, the message is not getting across. Perhaps people would think harder about getting behind the wheel after a night of boozing if Canada were to incorporate corporal punishment, like some Middle Eastern countries. An impaired charge in the Emirates can net you 80 lashes. In Taiwan, it’s more harsh. A blood-alcohol reading of 0.05 per cent can result in a two-year jail term for a motorist. Three cans of beer will set most people over the top. Other countries have sentenced people to death for the crime. What will it take for the likes of Gurnell, and other prolific drunk drivers, to change their ways? No Canadian law will ever make a difference. – Black Press
Record Question of the Week This week: An overwhelming 80.2 per cent of respondents do not think the Comox Valley needs a new fire training centre. Next week: Are you enjoying the record-breaking temperatures? Visit www. comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll. There’s nothing better than basking in the sunshine or tubing down the Puntledge in record-breaking heat.
It’s too hot to do anything constructive outside. Warm summers are nice, but this is ridiculous.
Hot enough for you yet? “I
t’s hot, Africa hot, Tarzan couldn’t take this kind of hot.” That was a line from Neil Simon’s play Biloxi Blues and it always resonates in my mind whenever I think about hot weather. OUT ON A It’s not as hot as Biloxi, Mississippi where Simon’s semi-autobiographLISTAIR ical play is set during WWII but for AYLOR us Islanders, it’s hot indeed. It’s funny how weather extremes always make a place feel strange. It’s like some alien climate has invaded our space and is not settling comfortably on our shoulders. We had that freezing spell last winter with unseasonably low temperatures. I guess it’s because things like that always remind me of other places I’ve been where that kind of weather is normal. Of course, for me, whenever it’s cold I think of the Yukon where I lived before here. To feel cold, dry weather in winter here feels strange to me because there must be some kind of temperature memory in the
A T
body. Much like muscle memory – which is when you’re learning a skill or a musical instrument – your body recalls movement patterns and responses automatically – without thinking. So, I suggest temperature memory is when you feel LIMB weather that is out of place with where you currently are, that your body feels like it should be somewhere else. It’s kind of like deja vu, except it’s weather based. Or something. Maybe the heat’s getting to me. I was born in a hot place – Africa, believe it or not – but I only lived there for four years before moving to Britain, Labrador, Haida Gwaii, the Yukon, Vancouver, the Yukon once more and then Vancouver Island. I never saw tropical temperatures again. But maybe that’s why I love the heat. I love summer and I love sunshine. Now, I might be singing a different tune if we were to suddenly get 40-degree temperatures on a regular basis but for now,
low 30s is nice. On a road trip holiday that took us to southern Oregon, I experienced 100-degree Fahrenheit temperatures and it was stinkin’ hot. But the body gets used to it, I guess. I remember being at MusicFest in Courtenay a few years back when I caught a performance by Nashville-based Pete Huttlinger, a guitar player I particularly like. We were all sweltering in the Comox Valley heat – those southern climes, you know – and Huttlinger quipped, “I notice I’m the only one wearing a long-sleeved shirt.” Temperature is relative and dependant on what you’re used to. I remember way back when I was listening to a Latin-American combo playing a lunchtime concert at SFU one overcast but mild summer day. The lead singer was shivering and complaining of the cold. So, enjoy the sunshine everyone, we all know that it’s only here for a limited time. Drink lots of water, spend time by a lake or the ocean and don’t leave your dog in the car.

Proposed Farquharson farm greenway trail a brilliant plan Dear editor, This is an open letter to the City of Courtenay Mayor and Council. I am a resident of East Courtenay and am writing in regards to parks and greenways. Courtenay residents are very active and on any given day you will see many power walkers, joggers, runners and cyclists. We are fortunate to have parks linked by greenway and street links on both sides of the estuary. I believe the network of green spaces that Courtenay is developing is its greatest asset, and makes it the best choice for liv-

ing in the Valley. As recently as March of this year while I was on the City’s website I noticed the proposed Greenway Trail around and across the old Farquharson farm. Still an active farm (Comox Bay), this central location is the jewel in the crown of Courtenay’s green space. In conversation with other
residents in the area, the consensus is that what is missing is a pedestrian link to connect East and West Courtenay. People need a way to walk, jog, or cycle to town, avoiding the vehicle traffic at the crossroads. I was excited to see the proposed greenway trail going all the way around the fields with a direct
path across near the mid-point. I understand from conversations with city hall staff that the City has a right-of-way across the fields for a sewer line, so that would likely be the direct path, and the rest of the proposed greenway (around the perimeter of the farm) would fall I believe within the Ducks Unlimited land. In light of the above, the proposed Greenway Trail above is a fantastic idea. It would redirect pedestrian and cycle traffic away from the busy intersections at Ryan Road and Hwy. 19A and accommodate the growing
Untreated strep throat results in return to hospital, and lengthy stay Dear editor, I don’t usually write letters in the local newspaper, but I feel this time the people that live in the Comox Valley need to know from my experience and treatment when entering St. Joseph’s General Hospital Emergency Department in Comox for treatment. It was Sunday, June 1, 6:30 p.m. I was taken to St. Joseph’s General Hospital
Emergency Department as I was not feeling well. I had a fever, sore throat, sore ears etc. After two and a half hours, I saw a doctor, who said to me, “I will take a swab but we don’t treat adults with strep throat. It just runs it course, go home and rest it off.” On Tuesday, June 3, I woke up to discover the left side of my face was three times it should be and was on
fire. My husband took me to my family doctor and was instructed to go to back to St. Joseph’s General Hospital; she called in and told them I was on my way and to start various medical testing. I was put in a semi-private room, and eventually I was moved to the overflow area. The next morning my doctor called disease control to advise my systems
and discovered I had erysipelas, which is part of a strep throat virus. Perhaps if I was originally treated for strep throat I would not have had to go through what I went through. I layed there on a cot for four days before being moved to the first floor. After a week in hospital I was released and returned daily for IV medication. I would like to
What’s derelict to some are dream homes to others Dear editor, I applaud James Connelly for his reply to Mr. Morrison’s letter of June 19, (Derelict houses a sore sight for eyes). I pass by the Nickel Bros. houses for re-use almost daily and find nothing whatsoever offensive about them. They are not derelict, as Mr. Morrison claims, but are the dream homes for someone wanting to get into home ownership for the first time. What I do find offensive is the sight for sore eyes a few hundred metres away, namely the former Field’s sawmill site. I find it offensive for two reasons. The first is that the owner has left a prime piece of real estate to fester now that it has served that owner’s commercial needs. But, even more offensive is that the mill was purchased while still operational and not
Thanks to the staff at St. Joe’s
Dear editor, We are so thankful for the wonderful care our parents received at St. Joseph’s Hospital in June. Both mom and dad were in ICU together and right from the emergency room to ICU, the doctors, nurses and LPNs gave professional, knowledgeable and exceptional care to them. We are so lucky to have this hospital and these people in the Comox Valley. They are a wonderful asset to the community. Special thanks to Drs. Azer, Comanche, Wiens and Winter. John Wilkie Courtenay

only closed, for whatever economic reasons, but demolished, thus preventing any further use. I hope that the City of Courtenay is going beyond the collection of taxes on the site and vigorously requiring its owners to transform it from the festering eyesore that it is into a space that, at least, matches the attractiveness of the other entrances to the city.

Introducing HydrafacialMD® with Antiox+ Every day your skin is exposed to the elements – stress, pollution, toxins and most importantly, sunlight. These el e me nt s cause the creation of free radicals, which destroy the chemica l makeup of our skin cells, preventing them from functioning properly, which in turn cause our skin to deteriorate and age. The most natural defense against free radical damage are antioxidants – they neutralize free radicals while restoring and protecting the skin.
Antiox+™ is Hydrafacial’s newest introduction – an advanced antioxidant serum enriched with peptides and hyaluronic acid to provide even skin tone, firming and protection against free radicals.

HOW TO LOOK IMPECCABLE IN YOUR SUMMER WHITES The summer is most definitely here and that means warmer weather and, accordingly, lighter fabrics. But wearing those gauzy blouses or summer whites has to be done right, and part of looking your best means choosing the right lingerie to wear under summer frocks. Many women reach for a white bra when wearing a white shirt, thinking the white lingerie will be invisible. This isn’t actually the case. The best choice for under white or sheer fabrics is actually flesh tone. Flesh tone matches your skin and thus doesn’t show lines under thin or light-coloured fabrics the way white will. In fact, in the lingerie world, white is considered a “fashion colour.” A fashion colour is your non-basic like mango, fuchsia, or, indeed, white and lines may or may not be available in the
fashion colour of your choice. Nude, on the other hand, is considered a basic as it matches the skin tone for many and, thus, is preferable under anything thin or see-through. So, to give yourself the most natural look this summer, choose a skin-toned bra to wear under your lighter fabrics and don’t forget skin-toned under-
wear under your white pants, too. By Natasha Tracy for Secret Drawers Lingerie

It’s really important to spend time with other artists, get their feedback and share concerns.” For Kobus, the key to filling the roles of wife, mother and artist is organization. “I set aside time to paint and I try to be ready to take advantage of any unexpected opportunities to paint that present themselves because life doesn’t always go as planned.” Another way Kobus keeps herself on track is by regularly writing a newsletter and blog. “I think of it as sending a letter to a pen pal to let them know what I’m doing,” she says. “It makes me think about my art and to feel accountable.” Kobus and her work will be at the arbor area of the upper meadow at the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park in Comox.

Motorcycle art on display Calling all painters, photographers, sculptors, cartoonists, airbrushers, graphic artists and creators of motorcycle-themed art. We know there’s a lot of folks who ride motorcycles that do more than catch bugs in their teeth and wrench on their bike – so we thought it was time to show off the ‘artistic’ side of riders and host the Freewheelin’ Motorcycle Art show at the Corre Alice Gallery as part of the Cumberland Motorcycle Roundup, Aug. 7-9. Let’s think beyond ‘skulls and flames’: there’s helmets to paint, parts to weld and sculpt, old shop signs to resurrect, tanks to adorn, bike and rider photography, imagery of bikes to draw/paint/graphic design. You name it create it! Entry deadline is Aug. 1. Drawings, paintings and photography must be framed and a $5 hanging fee will be collected at the drop off date, Aug. 7. This is a non-juried

Submitted Doug Howell is proof that once you’ve got the music in you, it stays for a lifetime. Doug, an active musician who plays his euphonium in the Comox Valley Concert Band, was a guest performer at the HMCS Naden Band Concert in Victoria’s Beacon Hill Park on June 19 of this year. This was a special event for two reasons. First, Doug is one of the few remaining members of the original Naden Band that was formed in 1940. Second, Doug recently celebrated his 90th birthday. It was his son, Steve Howell, who first contacted Lieutenant Matthew Clark and suggested that Doug would be thrilled if invited to perform a number with the Naden Band during one of its summer concerts. The response was enthusiastic and the June date was set. Doug’s relationship with music began at the age of eight. In 1932 he joined the Rowles Boys Band in Victoria where he played the trombone and euphonium until graduating to the Royal Canadian Artillery Band and later the Canadian Scottish Regiment Band. Doug auditioned with the Naden band in 1942 soon after his 18th birthday. The 55-piece wind ensemble comprised some of the finest musicians from across Canada. Each day, Doug could be found marching the parade grounds, rehearsing three hours in the band room, playing a noon concert in the drill hall followed by sectionals and an afternoon public appearance. Every other Sunday evening during winter months the band performed a concert in the Royal Victoria Theatre and twice a month the dance band played till the wee hours at the Hostess Club on Fort Street. In 1943 the Naden band was split. Thirty-five members were shipped overseas to Glasgow to establish a musical presence at HMS Niobe The remaining 20, of which Doug was a member, were augmented and spent the war promoting the sale of
DOUG HOWELL, present day, and at a house band concert in 1944. PHOTOS SUBMITTED victory bonds throughout the province. Twice a year, spring and fall, the band toured the Kootenays and the Okanagan as well as the Lower Mainland. It was on one of these tours that Doug was introduced to his future wife, Helen, in the mining town of Rossland. They met only three times in two years but corresponded weekly before settling down in Victoria following their marriage in 1946. Upon moving to Comox in 1993, he quickly joined the Comox Valley Concert Band where he has been a mainstay in the lower brass section ever since. While in Victoria last month, Doug was introduced to the audience and the entire band rose to welcome him to the stage. “Once a member of the Naden Band, always a member of the Naden Band,” announced MC PO2 Ken Gibson as he related details of life in the Navy 70 years ago. Leading bandsman Doug Howell performed one of his favourite Alfred marches, The Standard of St. George and closed the concert playing and singing The Heart of Oak. Doug still stands tall while producing the sweet sounds that only a euphonium can create. After 82 years, Doug Howell continues to blow his horn.

Paper wasps ‘non-aggressive’
H
ave been overDUCHESS OF DIRT whelmed by the number of bees in our pond lately. Dozens and dozens of ESLIE them. Not surprising OX I guess in this heat. Humans are not the only critters who need to stay hydrated. When I said bees by the way, I specifically meant European paper wasps. They are by far the majority species concentrating on drinking our pond dry. European paper wasps, or more correctly, Polistes dominula, look very much like our native yellow jacket and hornet species. It has a black body with yellow markings. The distinguishing feature is its narrow waist between thorax and abdomen. If seen side by side, yellow jackets and hornets have a somewhat blunter body shape than European paper wasps. A further identifying clue is the long dangling legs of the European species when in flight. Another difference between these black and yellow-striped species is the European paper wasp’s non-aggressive tendencies. They are less likely to sting than yellow jackets, hornets and even bumblebees unless you stumble into their nest accidentally. Originally native to southern Europe, North Africa and parts of Asia, this bee was first reported in New Jersey in 1968. From there it expanded into Boston in 1970, Wisconsin and Virginia in early 1980, Michigan in 1994, Ontario in 1997 and Colorado in 2001. This wasp then simultaneously moved east and west to Nova Scotia and British Columbia in 2003. By 2008 the European paper wasp could be found in most regions across North America. It has settled in Australia, Chile and Argentina, too. Once the queen, or foundress, has mated in the fall, she will hibernate through the winter in a sheltered location. Come spring, nest building begins. Selecting the eave of a house or an out-of-the-way cavity, the queen fashions a short stalk, or petiole, with a single brood cell at the end of it. More cells are added to it laterally in a hexagonal pattern, each cell surrounded by six

others. The queen deposits an egg in each brood cell as it is constructed. When the larvae hatch, they are fed a diet of regurgitated insects, usually caterpillars. When the larvae reach full size they seal over their own cells to pupate. Full cycle from egg to adult takes between four and five weeks. Many entomologists classify Polistes dominula as an invasive species while organic farmers hail them as beneficial. Their diet consists mainly of caterpillars, both pest and beneficial. (Hopefully mainly tent caterpillars!) As the European paper wasp is non-aggressive...even leaving you alone to enjoy your summer meals outside...you can practise a live and let live co-existence. If the nest is an inconvenience, you can destroy it in the same manner as you would treat a hornet’s nest. Leslie Cox co-owns Growing Concern Cottage Garden in Black Creek.

ships can be tricky to navigate at the best of times. It is always that much more difficult when you do not feel that you can have as close a relationship as you would like. Honesty and openness in relationships is an important thing. It is the basis on which trust and closeness is built. Without that, the vulnerability that is inherent in close relationships is threatened and the relationships suffer because it is no longer emotionally safe to be that close. There are many reasons people are not open and honest in their interactions with each other. In the end, most of those reasons centre around avoiding dealing with something that is anticipated to be unpleasant. Very often, in the situation that you describe, it is rare that individu-

als are being deliberately malicious. Often they are surprised and upset to hear how you feel. Unfortunately, regardless of whether their lack of openness and honesty is about trying to avoid conflict, trying to avoid upsetting someone, or trying to avoid some other anticipated outcome, it is a bit of a double-edged sword. In the end, there are no easy answers to how you should deal with this. Ultimately you cannot control the choices that your other family members are making about how they choose to communicate with you. They have their own reasons for what they are doing, and in the absence of any feedback and dialogue about what those reasons are it is really hard to address them effectively.

Athletes awesome at Canada Summer Games Earle Couper Record Staff
ROBERT BURNS ASCENDED the medal podium four times during the athletics events competition.
Comox Valley athletes returned from the Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games in Vancouver with many medals and memories of a great time. “It was pretty exciting, quite electric,” said Team BC aquatics assistant coach Nikki Apps, one of nine Valley participants at the July 8-12 Games, hosted by UBC. “It went awesome. The entire Team BC did fantastic.” Kerri Denninger was the first local to ascend the medal podium as she won bronze in the 50m backstroke and silver in the 4x50m freestyle relay. Denninger also had best times in her 50m free and 100m free swims, added Apps, who was coaching at her first Games. Playing on the B.C. Grizzlies, Chris Roberge and Brad Horgan helped their team win gold in the A division of softball. Although results were not finalized on the Team BC website at press time, they showed Katie Flint winning four silver medals (ball, hoop, rope, all around) in rhythmic gymnastics.

Triathlete Anton Cecic, a 14-year-old Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School student, is among the locals ANTON CECIC IS off competing at the July to the BC Summer 17-20 BC Summer Games. Games. Cecic has been participating in many triathlons, including the Comox Valley Shoreline Orthodontics Tri-K and the Victoria Youth Triathlon, since 2006. A member of the Comox Valley Triathlon Club, Cecic works with the Comox Valley Aquatic Club Sharks swim club and the Comox Valley Blue Devils Summer Swim Club in the spring and summer, plays hockey and soccer, and skis in the remainder of the year. “I started doing triathlon to keep up my swimming skills and to maintain some fitness activity in the summer after the hockey and soccer seasons,” Cecic says. “After a few races, I found that I really enjoyed the competition and the challenge of beating my personal best times.” Following a couple of successful races in 2013, Cecic decided to take his game to a new level this year. Joining forces with Lynda Magor, a highly experienced triathlete, coach and Zone 6 triathlon head coach, he increased the intensity and focus of his training program and landed a spot on the Zone 6 triathlon team. With the support of sponsors Frontrunners and Oak Bay Bikes, Cecic and his seven teammates will be showcasing their skills in the sprint, duathlon and aquathon events against the rest of B.C.’s best.

Excellent saltwater fishing in our Area 14 waters I
recently read about a new word that is becoming common – staycation. It means staying home for a vacation. I suggest that if you are a local angler looking for a modestly priced fishing vacation a good place to do it would be in Area 14 and adjacent waters. This season has been above average in success and continues to produce good catches. One of the biggest challenges in fishing saltwater locations is seasonal winds. Because much of Area 14 is in open water in the Strait of Georgia, it is subject to large waves that can make trolling or other types of angling a contest. There are several ways to fish in windy conditions if you must: 1. Troll downwind and run into the wind until you start your next trolling run. 2. Fish from a seaworthy craft and use common sense when to stay home. 3. Jig with buzz bombs in sheltered waters. 4. Start fishing early in the morning and leave the water when the wind comes up. 5. Fish in the evening when it calms down. The economics of fishing trips to distant parts of the Island may be factors in your fishing budget. It costs approximately $1,000 for two anglers to do a five-day trip to the north or west coast of the Island. When you factor in launch fees and gas it costs approximately $100 a day for two anglers to fish in local waters such as - Kitty Coleman Hump, Tribune Bay, Grants Reefs, Century Shoals or the East coast of Denman and Hornby islands or Area 13 around Campbell River. If
son on prawns has been closed for several weeks so there is the possibility of catching some prawns. Area 14, our home waters, are rich in the
gifts of the sea. Give a fishing staycation in Comox Valley waters a try. 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.

outdoors
Ralph Shaw the weather cooperates, a five-day trip includes three days on the water, whereas at $100 a day for local trips you could have 10 trips on the water with the same fishing budget. Area 14 has many fishing opportunities and when you add some of the adjacent waters it has all the qualities of distant fishing locations. We are in the midst of many chinook salmon migrations. Resident coho are producing good catches of wild and marked fish. We are on the edge of the pink salmon runs, which have already appeared in the Eve River. If the sockeye run comes in anywhere near its predictions and we are allowed to fish them locally, you should see some superb fishing in
local waters off Bates Beach and Kitty Coleman During the past two weeks I have had the pleasure of sharing fishing time with Chuck Ashcroft in his 19-foot aluminium boat. It is very seaworthy and while we watch the weather closely we have enjoyed some good fishing trips. There was one day when we did not catch any salmon; but we did get lingcod and rockfish. The message is that we have excellent
saltwater fishing in our local waters with a wide selection of catchable fish. Our waters are excellent for trolling and drift fishing. Added to the wide variety of fin fish, we also have a good selection of places to gather shellfish, or set traps for saltwater delicacies such as prawns, crabs and clams. I would hesitate to recommend oysters during this hot weather, but clams are the prime source of excellent chowder. The commercial sea-

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY MOMMA âœąLove from Connie, Peter, Kendra, Jenna, Emalee and Van. WE LOVE YOU!
In Loving Memory of KEVIN RICHARD BAKER July 24,1990
Rosemary Hilchie
Marion Lorraine Douglas
With family in attendance, Rosemary passed away June 21st, 2014 at Glacier View Lodge. She is survived by her husband, John; her daughters, Lynn, Lena, and Clair; and her granddaughter, Lauren. Rosemary was always a dedicated wife and mother. Her loving family feels her loss deeply. She remains in all of our hearts. Born in Island Falls, Saskatchewan in 1930, she grew up in Renfrew, Ontario. She and John were married in 1953, and they lived most of their lives in Ottawa before moving to the Comox Valley in 1996. Throughout her life, Rosemary was a passionate animal lover and was rarely without a pet dog and cat. Illness necessitated a long term care residence, and she moved to Glacier View Lodge in 2008. She has received excellent and compassionate care from all of the staff there for which her family is truly grateful.
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Marion Lorraine Douglas. She came to rest on July 6th, 2014 at Glacier View Lodge. Born in New Westminster on June 30th, 1925 to Stanley and Lillian Sutton. A younger sister for Pearl with whom she had many adventures. Marion worked as a payroll clerk in the Courtenay school board office for over 25 years. She enjoyed gardening, swimming, golfing, walking and her rummoli girls. Being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother gave her pride. She was fondly known as Grans or Nana. Marion loved animals and was often found with a cat in her lap. Christmas time was extra special and she took hours decorating her home. She will be missed by her four children, Steve (Tammy), Dave (Susan), Roger (Barb), Denise (Mark) along with 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren including extended family. Many thanks to the caring staff at Glacier View for making this her home for the past few years. No service by request, but a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated. A dynamic woman that will not be forgotten.
TITCHENER, RITA JOSEPHINE May 30, 1932 - July 5, 2014
Rita passed away peacefully in her home in the early hours of Saturday morning. She will forever be missed by her family and friends. She leaves behind her sons Peter (Ginger) and Mike (Kathleen), grandchildren Tyler (Cortney), Jordan (Kerry), Kendall, Hudson, Kasey, and Mackenzie and great-grand baby Elodie. She will also be missed by her sisters Joan, Anne and Tina, as well as their families.  Born in Sydenham, county of London, England. Rita immigrated to Canada in 1958 with her husband Pete and two small boys, Peter and Michael. They began a new life in Toronto, Ontario and migrated west to Vancouver in 1964, where they settled and raised their family. For her last fifteen years she called the beautiful Comox Valley home. A service will be held at the Comox Legion on a date yet to be determined. "Not forever can one enjoy stillness and peace. But misfortune and destruction are not final. When the grass has been burnt By the fire of the steppe, It will grow anew in summer." Wisdom from the Mongolian Steppe.

SINCLAIR, EDITH
September 1, 1917 – July 11, 2014 After a long and full life, our mother, Edith Sinclair (nee Foster), passed away at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, BC. She grew up in Vancouver where she met and married her husband of 53 years, Ernie Sinclair. They lived in the greater Vancouver area from 1943 to 1953 then moved to Prince Rupert for the period of 1953 to 1974. During this time Edith raised four children, while assisting her husband run their own businesses. (Far West Sporting Goods, Prince Rupert) They retired to the Comox Valley in 1974, where she spent her remaining years energetically travelling, gardening, sewing, cooking, singing and socializing with her many friends. She was active up until a couple of years ago when loss of vision and mobility finally slowed her down. Edith is survived by son Lorne, daughters Andrea deBucy (Roger) and Joan Rice (Mick). She leaves behind her sister Jean Parr (Russ), 15 nieces, 7 nephews, 6 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Ernie, son Michael, her three brothers and one sister. The family wishes to thank the staff at the Eagleview Unit of St. Joseph’s Hospital for all their kindness and care of our mother during her stay there. A heartfelt thank you to her many friends who cheered her with their visits over the years. A celebration of her life will be held at the Comox Valley Funeral Home (1101 Ryan Road, Courtenay) on Friday, July 18th, 2014 at 11 a.m. Flowers gratefully declined, you may wish to donate to a charity of your choice.
