City standing down on Maple Pool legal action Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Courtenay city council is prepared to suspend legal action against the owners of Maple Pool Campsite until the new year to allow a group of citizens the opportunity to bring the site into compliance with zoning and other regulations. Maple Pool — which provides low-rent housing for about 50 at-risk individuals — flooded in 2009 and 2010. The following year, the city initiated legal action against campground owners Dali and Jin Lin. The issue is zoning, which prohibits the couple from housing people on the property. Advocates fear that most of the
Advocacy group has until new year to meet requirements set by city tenants would become homeless if evicted. The Friends of Maple Pool has met with city officials to discuss options to address land-use and safety issues at the Headquarters Road campsite next to the Tsolum River. “We offered to fill the site up to the 200-year flood level to the bottom of the trailers,” group member Mike Hamilton said. “The wheels would still be below the 200 but
the floor of the trailer would be above. We said we could do that if they could see their way clear to give us the rezoning or drop the court case at least, and then call it legally non-conforming.” The case has already incurred a six-figure expense. The Local Government Act does not allow the city to permit the underside of a residential structure to be located below the flood construction level for the property, or to permit fill within a 30-metre setback of the Tsolum. However, the act allows the city to consider an exemption to these requirements if it receives a report certified by an engineer that the land may be used safely.

Revolutionary procedure saves teacher’s life Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Dr. John Webb saved Sharon Daly’s life. He did so by way of an experimental procedure called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, which he pioneered at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. Six years ago, Daly underwent the now-approved procedure which gave her a bovine, aortic valve. “It worked,” said Daly, 67, a Comox resident who works as a teacher on call. “There were some anxious moments there.” Daly, who has always lived with a heart murmur, realized she would eventually need a new valve. The time arrived one day on the tennis court when her friends noticed her breathing was becoming

She had been given three to five years to live before hearing about the revolutionary procedure. “He has enabled me to continue on with all the things that I really love in life,” she said. “I want to pay it forward.” In a gesture to “strike out” heart disease, Daly has been asked to pitch the opening ball for a Vancouver Canadians baseball game on Thursday, Aug. 14. It’s been a few years since she last played catch — which is why she asked to borrow a mitt and ball from some kids she happened upon recently at a park. “I’m practising with a tennis ball against odd shapes in the backyard,” Daly said with a laugh. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Command: Benninger reminisces upon events of three-year tour Continued from Page A1 “It will take me a bit of time to get an appreciation for where I can make my mark,” said Dunne, who is married with three teenage children. “We’re looking forward to getting into the community, and being part of the schools, and the local clubs and activities.” He and Benninger have been colleagues for many years. “It was very good to turn over to somebody I knew was up to the task, so very happy for Tom and his wife Brenda,” said Benninger, who was first posted to Comox in 1997 and again in 2006. He was appointed to a threeyear tour as commander of 19 Wing in 2011. “The commander of the wing is a real honour,” Benninger said. “Not only do we have to make sure we get the job done, but in the military, it’s a commander’s responsibility to be concerned with the welfare of his people.

born in the Valley in 1999. During his term as commander, Benninger recalls Aurora crews that “flew in harm’s way” for several months in an ‘op mobile’ in support of the UN protection of people in Libya. Also noteworthy is the day-in, day-out challenges of search and rescue crews. “It brings to mind the response that 442 squadron, under my command, provided to the sudden floods in Alberta,” Benninger said. The wing and base staff also “responded wonderfully” to a bomb threat aboard a Korean Air plane that made an emergency landing at the Comox Valley Airport in 2012. “After they landed on the ground we were able to get them out,” Benninger said. “The first thing that we were able to do was to get them some warm food. “Very proud of what our people have done, and very humbled to be able to take so much positive feedback and credit for what they do.”

City: ‘Compromise is possible’
Marathon mission
Continued from Page A1 “We appreciate the efforts of the Friends of Maple Pool to find workable solutions to the concerns at the site,” acting mayor Bill Anglin said in an Aug. 6 news release. “We felt the (July) meeting was productive and represented a positive step forward towards eventually resolving this issue.” While the City is required to follow provincial and federal regulations in searching for solutions, it says “compromise is possible” in some areas. “The City is willing to use its discretion in these instances to make a workable solution more attainable,” the news release states. Council is prepared to proceed with a unilateral rezoning, which
requires a public hearing but would not require the Lins to pay rezoning application costs. Council is also asking for an affordable housing covenant that restricts rent increases at the campsite to the level of inflation, except under circumstances beyond the property owners’ control. It also wants a covenant that waives the city’s liability in the event of a flood, as well as sufficient insurance by the Lins to cover flood losses, and waivers of liability from each resident. “I think everybody wants the same thing at the end, but there’s differing opinions on how to get there,” Hamilton said. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Jacquelyn Janzen, second from left, completed her seventh of 12 marathons Saturday during her Embrace the Race challenge, which she started July 31 in Port Hardy and completes next Saturday in Victoria. She is pictured with her coach, Ferenc Stefani, left, and her parents, Glenn and Sharon Janzen, at a barbecue at Brian McLean Chevrolet to help raise funds for multiple sclerosis and lupus research and awareness. Glenn is afflicted with MS. “I’m getting used to it (marathoning), which is crazy to be able to say,” said Jacquelyn, 25, from Black Creek. “It’s been a challenge. I used to hate it (running) but you learn to love it. It’s not always easy, but at the end I’m always feeling good. There’s some joy to be found in every day. I think that’s something I’ve learned about people who struggle with diseases like MS and lupus. There’s always some good to be found in each day, and some nugget that you can hold onto that gets you through the next day.” As of Saturday, the challenge had generated about one-tenth of the $50,000 target, which Jacquelyn hopes to raise for both causes.

Let us be warned
he recent Mount Polley Mining tailing pond breach in Likely, B.C. should serve as a warning to all of us on Vancouver Island, none more so than those in charge of granting mining licences. While media and political parties point the finger of blame this way and that, the bigger question is; who will pay for the cleanup? Very likely, the majority of the bill will be footed by taxpayers. Sure, Imperial Metals, which owns Mount Polley Mining Corp., is apt to be slapped with a hefty fine – some reports are suggesting amounts up to $1 million – but that would barely begin to cover the costs of reclaiming the waters, should they be deemed critically contaminated. There was a comparable tailings pond breach in the state of Tennessee in 2008 (Kingston Fossil Plant). More than six years later, restoration efforts continue. Some estimates have the total costs of that cleanup to be in excess of $1.2 billion U.S. So what does all this mean to Vancouver Island? Could it happen here? The answer, of course, is yes. It could happen anywhere there are tailing ponds; and, as a byproduct of mines, there are tailing ponds on Vancouver Island. The requests for exploratory site testing by mine companies is an ongoing issue with the various Island governances, Comox Valley Regional District included. In fact, in June, the CVRD submitted a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, expressing concern over a proposed site testing by a mining company in the Woodhus Creek/Oyster River area and requested that “no coal licence be issued” to the company in question. Consider it a proactive approach. Some economists were undoubtedly crying foul over the decision, upset at the number of potential jobs being lost by such a request. But it’s a far cry more economically sound than the reactive approach being incorporated in regards to the disaster in Likely, B.C. Sometimes foresight is 20:20. –Black Press Record Question of the Week This week: Are you happy with the government’s $40 per day payout for the daycare needs of pre-teen schoolchildren, should the teachers’ strike carry into the new school year?

Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22. There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway. And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.” It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Watershed Society has solution for sawmill site Dear editor, In a recent letter to the Record, Frank Burden describes the abandoned Field’s sawmill site as an offensive sight for sore eyes (What’s derelict to some are dream homes to others, July 17). It is indeed an eyesore, particularly when one considers its potential as an environmental asset with continuity to the natural “Hollyhock Flats” area immediately to the south. Fish and wildlife habitat, and flood mitigation are but two of the many “environmental services” that would be provided
by restoration of this important area. These lands should be protected and they should be restored to their naturally functioning condition. Comox Valley Project Watershed Society has a vision to accomplish just this objective (while providing further public access to the K’omox Estuary) re. this derelict and heavily impacted piece of ground that is a blot on our community. Go to bit.ly/XAOQVx for an earlier Comox Valley Record article on this issue and Project
Watershed’s site bit.ly/1y25KHM to become better informed on this community initiative. With a municipal election coming in the fall, an important question that should be posed to those running for office is “Will you make the restoration of this site a major priority?” I and the board of Project Watershed believe that there is a great deal of public support for this restoration whose time has come.

Readers take exception to recent letters condemning Israel Dear editor, I would like to respond to the two recent letters to the editor, that were sent into your department asking John Duncan to intervene in the Israel/Gaza conflict (authored by Fred Zumpano and Scott Agur). Namely these two articles castigated Israel for killing some 1,900 – as they called it – civilians.
This is not true, as approximately 50 per cent of those slain people were Hamas terrorists,
with, I might add, no identifying uniforms and who were cowardly hiding amongst civilians.
If people are so “gung-ho” to blame Israel, why have they forgotten the approximately 3,000 people killed on 9-11, by these same type of terrorists. Correct me if I am wrong, but were these not civilians? Also, the Olympic athletes killed in Munich… the list goes on and on and why are some people “cherry picking” events? I am personally very proud of
war Israel finished off two major armies in very little time (Syria and Egypt). You might ask, “Why not this time?” Let me tell you. It’s because of political correctness, world opinion and a concern for civilian casualties. It is as if Israel is forced to fight with one arm tied behind its back. 4 By comparison, in Afghanistan the Brits killed 20,000 civilians versus 447 soldiers, and in Iraq the Brits and Americans killed 120,000 civilians compared
to 4,500 soldiers. 5. During the Second World War, civilians were killed by the thousands by the allied forces. We still consider the allied forces as heroes and raise monuments in honour of their exploits. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still grateful to the Canadian forces for liberating us, but when it comes to criticism, we should not become the pot that calls the kettle black. 6. Remember, this war had its
start in 1948 when Israel became a sovereign state, and is still going on; a war declared by the Arab countries around them. In the past many peace accords have been suggested and accepted by Israel, only to be flatly rejected by the Muslim adversaries, whose sole and self-declared goal is to drive Israel from their land and kill every Jew. I could go on and on, but folks, before you jump (un- or misin-

Dear Messrs. Zumpano and Agur,
Let me take the liberty to bring a few facts to your attention. 1. The weakest side in a conflict is not always right, even if they picked the fight. 2. If only 10 per cent of the Hams rockets would have hit their intended targets, the amount of civilian victims would have been multiples of victims than in Gaza. 3. In the 1973 Yom Kippur

By the way, don’t forget 9-11 where close to 3000 people (civilians) were wantonly killed by the likes of Hamas and others of their ilk. Lastly, I decry war and violence and bloodshed as much as any of you, and I hope and pray for peace in the region. Dan Bouman Courtenay
Polley Mine situation evidence of a government more concerned about profits than its people Dear editor, During my dip into one of our local beautiful rivers, I thought of the shocked, dismayed people who live in the Cariboo region along other rivers, once also sparkling clean and rich with life, the Horsefly, Quesnel, Mitchell Rivers; all waterways directly affected by the Polley Lake tailings pond disaster; 10 million cubic feet of water contaminated with a mix of toxic metals, arsenic, mercury, copper, cadmium and lead has swept into the creeks and rivers emptying into the Fraser and, I assume, the Pacific. What went wrong? Where are the regulators, the monitors, the enforcers, our watchdogs, our scientists? I assume there are not enough trained scientists left in the Ministry of Environment to oversee resource extraction projects. Instead, we have now a political system that sees independent science as getting in the way of progress and
development. How can we trust a government that gives industry the right to self-regu-

Des Larson playing in the park Submitted Warm summer nights and hot summer music continue Thursday, Aug. 14 with the Filberg Summer Concert series and a special show from home grown talent of the highest order — The Des Larson Band. Des Larson has a big city heart and small town soul. Pop vocals with a West Coast edge. Comparable to artists Michael Buble, JT and Dave Matthews Band. His unique style reflects West Coast lifestyle with urban appeal. Des always captures the perfect moment with straight-to-the-heart vocals, soulful falsetto and mesmerizing guitar work. Larson, 23, has grown to capture and engage his audience. “That’s why I make music, to make people feel something, to create moments,” explains Larson. “It was at church that I learned the power of music. I guess it could be called a power of manipulation – it can make people feel things. For example, the preacher, he was eloquent and all, however, until his piano organ struck chord, that is when his words would truly move me.” Des is in the process of completing his latest songs Sober Love, Amber Light, and Mother Lovin’, recorded at Bryan Adams Warehouse studios with producer and engineer Jamey Koch.

THE CANADIAN FOUR-MAN sweep boat in action on Buttle Lake. PHOTO SUBMITTED
Canadian men’s rowing team trains at Buttle Lake Submitted From the largest fresh-water lake on Vancouver Island to the world’s oldest man-made rowing course in The Netherlands. That’s the travel itinerary for the Canadian men’s rowing team, which has been training at Strathcona Park Lodge & Outdoor Education Centre for the past three weeks on Buttle Lake, the largest fresh-water lake on Vancouver Island, for the Aug. 24-31 World Championships in Amsterdam.

Located seven kilometres from the historic city centre of Amsterdam, the Bosbaan was officially opened by Queen Wilhelmina on June 12, 1937. More than 1,200 athletes will compete at this year’s World Rowing Championships, representing more than 70 countries. The Canadian team, which is based in London, Ont. (women and lightweights) and Victoria (men) will be leaving shortly for a pre-
worlds training camp in Italy. With exactly two years remaining until the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, countries are jockeying for supremacy in the coveted 14 Olympic class rowing events. This year, Canada’s team has entries slotted for nine Olympic class events and two international class events. B.C. men competing for Canada include: Kai Langerfeld (North Vancouver), men’s four; Michael Braithwaite (Duncan), Will Dean (Kelowna) men’s quadruple sculls; Brendan Hodge (Delta), Max Lattimer (Delta), Evan Cheng (Vancouver) lightweight men’s four; Alexander Walker (Victoria) lightweight men’s double sculls; Michael Wilkinson (North Vancouver) men’s double sculls.

EVELINE RAMSAY THOMPSON September 09, 1925 - August 01, 2014
Eveline Ramsay Thompson passed away on August 1, 2014 in Comox, B.C. at the age of 88. She was the last of the family's senior generation - loving mother to Pauline (Robert) and Sheila (Winston); grandmother to Rowan (Lauren), Aman and Kambili; great-grandmother to Luca and MaÍlle. Eveline was predeceased by Leslie in 2008, her husband of 60 years, and her son Brian in 2012. Eveline was born in Sunderland, England, where she met and married Leslie. Together they immigrated to Calgary with their two daughters Pauline and Sheila and where Brian was born. Eveline lived in Calgary for over 60 years. In 2012, after her son passed away, she moved to Comox, B.C. to enjoy the coastal climate and be close to her daughter's family. Ev, as she was known, was a caring woman, with a ready laugh. For most of her life she was a bundle of energy and took on many challenges. Her spirit of adventure and love of family trips took her on many journeys - to southern Africa, Guyana, the Caribbean, England, Europe and the South Pacific. She was a very skilled craftswoman, who tackled hundreds of projects - knitting for many babies, quilting, sewing and doing needlepoint. We all benefited from her amazing hand-made items. Ev had a strong loving presence. She will be fondly remembered by her family in Canada and the UK, and her special long-time friends in Calgary and her new friends in Comox. Rest in peace, Ev, we’ll always be moved by your warmth, love, generosity and devotion. Ever loved! Her family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to her wonderful doctors, Dr. Erin Gregory and Dr. Anthony Booth and to Sandy, with VIHA home care, who guided us through the last days. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association. There will be a memorial in Calgary at a future date. Messages of condolence can be sent to Comox Valley Funeral Home at comvalfh@shaw.ca

Gale Wheeler Sept. 3, 1948 - June 26, 2014
(Sandra) Gale Wheeler passed away at the age of 65 on June 26, 2014 at Royal Jubilee Hospital, following heart complications, her family by her side. Predeceased by her brother Gordon, she is survived by her husband Percy, daughters Elizabeth and Kathryn, sister Margaret Anne and nieces Chelsea, Brianne, and Alec. Also survived by many longtime friends who were considered family. Gale was born in Winnipeg on September 3, 1948 and grew up in Edmonton. Her travels in life allowed her the opportunity to live in many places including New Mexico, Hawai’i, Asia, England, Jasper, and Utah before settling in Cumberland BC, in 1991. She worked as a waitress, teacher, graphic designer, bus driver and tour organizer, mother, and just about everything in between. Gale approached everything with passion; Christmas, walking with dogs, camping, theatre, and painting amongst others. She cared deeply about Cumberland, including the United Church, but was particularly dedicated to volunteering, supporting, and participating with the whole community in general. Her paintings hang on and in the buildings along Dunsmuir Avenue. Gale was also devoted to KidStart where she became a mentor to Chloe, who was an important part of Gale’s life in recent years. For that, her daughters are forever grateful. A celebration of life will be held August 23, 2014 at 1pm at the Cumberland United Church (2688 Penrith Avenue, Cumberland, BC, 250-400-7800). Donations can be made to KidStart or the Cumberland Forest Society.

Gunter lands roster spot on national squad for Pan-Am Cup Submitted TIJUANA, MEXICO – For the second straight year, Brad Gunter of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack will be representing his country and his CIS team on the international stage. The G.P. Vanier grad was chosen to be a member of Volleyball Canada senior men’s “B” team. Canada began play on Saturday (Aug. 9) at the Pan-Am Cup at Tijuana, Mexico. “Training camp was very intense,” stated Gunter, the CIS and Canada West Player of the Year for 2013-14 of the 12-week training period. “I have been learning a ton from everyone. The rest of the squad are all older than me.” The native of Courtenay felt he had held his own during the training camp and feels confident going into the Pan-Am Cup. “I still need some more experience at this level of game play,” he added. Team Canada head coach Georges Laplante praised Gunter’s work ethic and athleticism. “Brad has been one of the
best players in training,” said Laplante. “He will be working with Dallas Soonias on the right side. Dallas has a lot of international experience and he should help Brad understand the demand at this level.” Gunter saidBrad Gunter the team’s chances of coming home with a medal should be good. “We look strong. The goal obviously is to win but there are only three other teams that can compete with us so theoretically, we stand a good chance.” Laplante has no doubt that Gunter will return to the CIS and the WolfPack a better player. “Working with the best players in the country will certainly help him,” said Laplante. “I
am sure his fitness level will be much higher and I am sure as he returns to TRU his own expectations will be higher.” “I have improved so many of my skills so far this summer,” added Gunter. The Canadian team is comprised of players who played with the senior “A” team in World League, along with players who trained at the national full-time training centre in Gatineau, Que. Gunter and Nicholas Del Bianco (Surrey, B.C.) of the Trinity Western University Spartans are the only CIS players on Team Canada. Gunter and the WolfPack kick off their 2014-15 Canada West season Oct. 10 at Trinity Western. Their home opener is Oct. 24 against the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. •••

Golf wrap: Slater shines at Jr. North Island Submitted Dylan Slater won this year’s Junior North Island, held July 28 at the Comox Golf Club. A well-played low gross 73 gave him a three-shot victory over his brother Tyson Slater and Matt Irvine, who both shot respectable 76s. Brett Woods took the low net title with a 62, three shots better than runner-up Adam Dunn. Junior North Island organizers thanked Westview Ford for their support, the Comox Men’s Club for the continued efforts to help raise money, and the Ladies Club for their contributions. In other news, Bakkham Willis is the 2014 low gross champion for the Comox Junior Club Championship, held in conjunction with the Junior North Island. After calming his nerves Willis shot 83. Dunn won the net side of the event.
