Parents rally for teachers Erin Haluschak Record Staff
Dozens of parents, teachers and students gathered Tuesday morning in front of Comox Valley MLA Don McRae’s office to show solidarity for striking teachers, and even called for McRae to step down. Organizer Alix Wilson, a parent of two, said she created the event because it was time for parents to step up and put pressure on the government for what they want for their kids and for the future. “(We want) to remind (the government) that they’re our voice
for what we want, and we want smaller class sizes for kids and we want public education to be successful for the future.” Nick Moore, president of the Comox District Teachers Association, explained despite the positive turnout, teachers would much rather be teaching. “We’re disappointed to be here right now. We’re ready for the Liberal government to invest in education. “We’re a service industry; we’re not a business and we need support now,” he added. He noted he believes more parent-run rallies will be springing up throughout the week, “as
parents start to see that this is not just about wages, this is not just about benefits but this is a long-term problem that needs to stop now.” Moore extended an invitation for McRae to return to a classroom, particularly following a letter which recently came to light which McRae wrote in 2008 as a teacher at G.P. Vanier to thenEducation Minister Shirley Bond about overwhelming class sizes. “Don’s a teacher. He felt what it’s like to be in classrooms. He penned that letter in the early 2000s, and it’s worse now,” added Moore.

Rally shows solidarity for teachers
Continued from A1
About half an hour into the rally, McRae addressed the crowd from outside his office, telling them he has never stopped fighting for good quality education in the province. “I want to see a scenario where I see the government and the BCTF reach a negoti-
ated settlement, not a legislated settlement. That to me, would be the ultimate way to get to a resolution,” he said. “I’m committed to trying to work with my colleagues and the BCTF to have both parties to get to a place where we get a negotiated settlement. It has not been easy, it has

never been easy.” He fielded questions from the crowd, explaining he was there to listen. Chants of “recall” began, with one protestor handing McRae a letter and asking him to reconsider his political beliefs. “If you cannot convince your colleagues of what’s right, of what you know is right as a teacher, then you’re in the wrong sandbox, and you need to sit as an independent,” she

said. One parent asked McRae if he’s taking party politics over his constituents, and asked if he would have the courage to stand up against government policies. “One of the things in the world of government in the British Parliamentary system is the conversations you have in caucus and in cabinet are subject to solidarity,” McRae explained. “And that is

does not provide authority to tax homeowners, but is intended to gauge the level of public support should that be considered. Property taxes could help fund existing programs for homeless individuals and/or create a new method of assistance or prevention. Ways to reduce homelessness include affordable housing, temporary shelter, food, mobile medical care, housing advice, tenancy education and family mediation. Comox, Courtenay and Cumberland councils have until Oct. 15 to confirm their intent to pose the question. The vote will only be conducted if at least two municipalities agree to participate.

Ives seeks re-election in Comox Paul Ives has announced his intention to seek re-election as mayor of the Town of Comox. “After having had the honour and privilege to serve the Town of Comox as mayor for the last six years (and as councillor for the previous six years), I am pleased to announce that I will be asking the residents of our community for their support as I run for re-election as mayor on November 15th,” he said. “Much work has been done by council and staff over the last number of years to improve the quality of amenities, services and finances in our Town’s operations.” “Together with the efforts of our residents, volunteers, service clubs and organizations, I have been proud to have played a part at the council table in helping to make Comox a better place, and in many ways, simply the best place to live, work and play in the Comox Valley,” he noted. • F i s c a l strength – our budgeting process for operational and capital expenditures is a key reason why we have been able to keep infrastructure borrowing at a low level and any tax and utility increases affordable for our residents and businesses; working with the senior levels of government and in partnerships with private sector and community group organizations will continue to be of
vital importance as we move forward with initiatives. • A c t i v e , healthy community – improvements to parks & recreation facilities in our community are already paying dividends in terms of better health outcomes and we’ll be working closely with St. Joseph’s Hospital’s recently formed task force to ensure that a future viable role as a seniors care-oriented ‘centre of excellence’ can be achieved over the next few years as the acute care services move to the new Comox Valley hospital site. •Comox By The Sea – continued focus on downtown vitalization and waterfront park enhancement will help to ensure the viability of businesses along Comox Avenue, while at the same time providing more amenities for residents and visitors at the waterfront – a new waterpark type of playground in Marina Park would be a great addition for families, while addi-

tional walking paths, washrooms, and activity spaces would be utilized by all! • E c o n o m i c diversity – as part of our made in Comox economic strategy, we must strive to diversify our local tax base, whether working with the downtown businesses, or 19 Wing and Comox Valley Airport Commission, or the marina-related operators, there’s lots of potential for increasing our current levels of employment and revenue generation, to help ensure that families can continue to make Comox their home and their livelihood. • Sustainability – as part of our ongoing commitment to providing Town services in a carbon-

Two Locals up for We Heart awards injured ❝ Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Scott Stanfield
The Comox Valley Farmers’ Market, Coastal Black Estate Winery in Black Creek, Natural Pastures Cheese Company in Courtenay and Locals Restaurant in Courtenay are among the nominees in the second annual We Heart Local Awards. The event invites B.C. residents to nominate favourites in 15 categories including brewery, restaurant, cheese maker, seafood supplier, and orchard or fruit supplier. The Farmers’ Market was a winner at the inaugural awards. “I’m thrilled that we’re nominated again,” manager Vickey
Record Staff
Two Victoria-area residents were taken to hospital when their northbound car flipped over on the Inland Island Highway south of Courtenay near the McLeod Road overpass at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday. The Chrysler Neon landed in a ditch of waist-deep water. The woman’s head was trapped between the vehicle and a log. Cumberland firefighters freed her by elevating the car — which was shifting — and by cutting through metal. The man was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph’s General Hospital. The woman was airlifted to Victoria to be treated for a major laceration to the side of her head. “The passenger appears to be fine,” Comox Valley RCMP Const. Don Sinclair said. “We have no indication of why or how the accident occurred.”
I’m thrilled that we were nominated again. There’s nothing more local than a farmers’ market.

Brown said. “There’s nothing more local than a farmers’ market. We have some pretty loyal customers who are nicely invested in our market. They speak very highly of us. “Just getting us out there in front of more eyes, and getting that message out that farmers’ markets support local farmers,
and supporting local farmers is always a good thing for the local economy.” Nominations for the awards ended Monday. Voting is open from Sept. 2 to 16. Anyone in B.C. can vote at www.weheartlocalawards.ca. Voters are automatically entered into weekly draws to win a $100 gift card to a local farmers’ market, and a grand prize draw for a three-night stay at Taku Resort and Marina on Quadra Island, along with a cooking course for two, valued at $2,000. This prize includes a $300 gift card from BC Ferries to cover the cost of transportation.

The Wednesday Farmers’ Market will run until the end of September in downtown Courtenay. Since it began July 2, the mid-week market had been averaging about 22 to 24 vendors. “We’re now at 26, and we’re having to turn away vendors,” Comox Valley Farm-
ers’ Market manager Vickey Brown said. “So it’s obviously working for them.” She said the Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association has been happy with the added traffic flow. “Hopefully the nice weather will continue through September, and we’ll all feel like shopping outdoors,” Brown said.

Developer awaits approval Scott Stanfield Record Staff
The dirt has started to turn at the intersection of Cliffe Avenue and Anfield Road where a Campbell River-based developer hopes to construct an apartment complex. However, the proposal by Crowne Pacific Development Corp. is “still at investigative stages with engineers,” says City of Courtenay CAO David Allen. In January, Courtenay council had approved a zoning amendment, but pipe replacement and other upgrades at the city’s southern boundary were preventing the company from proceeding with construction. To date, sewer line upgrades and intersection improvements still need to be addressed before construction can begin on Acadia on the Walk — a pair of 47-unit buildings the company hopes to construct beside the Courtenay River Estuary. “We’re optimistic that it’s going ahead, but this still doesn’t necessarily mean that it will,” Crowne Pacific president Brett Giese said. “I’m taking a bit of a gamble. Just trying to be on track so that if this thing does fly through that we can get going asap.”

Consider What Excellent Cosmetic Dentistry and Rehabilitative Dentistry Can Do For You!
Dr. Lu is excited to have the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Colleen Clancy. She believes in a collaborative and comprehensive approach to dental care and welcomes new patients.
“We’re definitely making progress. (But) there’s some challenges.” For instance, the access road leading to four neighbouring homes is in close proximity to Cliffe Avenue. The city is considering other options further south to deal with traffic that will come with 94 apartment units. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure gives approval on access to provincial highways and roads.
Dr. Clancy is confident that Dr. Lu’s compassion and engaging personality, as well as her enthusiasm for her work, adds to the office’s positive patient environment.

Volunteers can assist the fish
Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society and the Town of Comox are seeking volunteers on September 6th to help improve fish habitat in Brooklyn Creek in the area of Salish Park. Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to the protection and habitat enhancement of Brooklyn Creek and the watershed. This year, the organization is working with Current Environmental and the Town of Comox to rehabilitate existing riffles and pools in the stream at Salish Park originally constructed in 2005. The work this summer will stabilize these areas and replace gravel that was lost due to flood flows in past
winter months. The project will benefit both coho salmon and cutthroat trout that inhabit the creek by improving both summer and overwintering habitat. Anyone interested in helping out is asked to contact Larry at 250-339-9159 or email lwjefferson@shaw.ca. Volunteers will meet at the Somenos Park entrance of Salish Park on September 6th at 9:30 a.m. and should wear boots, gloves and clothing that will withstand some abuse. The day will conclude with a volunteer appreciation event at noon at the park. Further information about BCWS can be found at their website, brooklyncreek.ca. – BCWS

Hospital input Submitted With the opening of the new North Island hospital in the Comox Valley (projected for 2017), the acute care services currently provided at St. Joseph’s General Hospital will transfer to the new hospital. Remaining on the St. Joseph’s site will be residential care beds (The Views, including the hospice cluster that will open at The Views by the end of 2014). The owner of St. Joseph’s, the Bishop of Victoria, is supportive of exploring how the St. Joseph’s site may be used to meet nonhospital based health and seniors’ care needs for the community and
region in an affordable, sustainable manner. In order to have a thoughtful, well managed approach to exploring our future role, a “Future Role Task Force” has been established, under the St. Joseph’s Board of Directors, to oversee options around potential future roles for St. Joseph’s in the Comox Valley. St. Joseph’s respects and values your input and seeks to engage community feedback through a short online survey.

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some additional precautions to keep from running into trouble. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the B.C. Wildlife Federation want to remind all boaters enjoying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence. Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be

Boating tips for a safe fall This is where an approved lifejacket, either inflatable or inherently buoyant, is an essential part of a boater’s wardrobe to keep them afloat after they can no longer swim. In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be stranded out on the water.
It’s important that keep a sharp lookout boaters ensure that for debris and chunks their boat and engine of ice that could penare in good shape and etrate the boat’s hull mechanically sound. at speed.

By exercising a little caution and an ability to be self-sufficient when out on the water, they can more fully enjoy nature’s splendour and quiet waterways.

Walk to fight animal cruelty
Compounding for pets Pet owners are faced with a unique problem when trying to medicate their animals. Commercially available drugs often taste bitter and are not acceptable to an animal that has specific taste. We custom make drugs to suit each animal species’ taste. Various flavours are available such as exotic fruit, fish, chicken, liver, beef and many others. Preparation of specialized veterinary drugs requires chemicals and equipment that are not available at most pharmacies. Drug manufacturers often discontinue producing drugs for which there is a low demand. Our compounding pharmacists have formulas and ingredients to accommodate most species and the experience to know which dosage form and taste will be best.

Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia. The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty in Comox will be held at Marina Park on Sunday, Sept. 7 from 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 10 a.m. Proceeds from the Comox walk will benefit animals at the Comox Valley & District SPCA. Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including the famous dog bowl licking contest, top fundraising prizes, fun games for dogs and the family, and much more! Generously supported by our local sponsors – CTV, The Eagle 97.3 Radio Station, Van Isle Veterinary Hospital, Investors Group Financial Services Inc., and First Insurance – the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a
great time as well as a fantastic cause. “This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for twolegged and four-legged participants.” Thank you to our provincial sponsors: Scotiabank, Petsecure Pet Health Insurance, PwC, Global BC, CKNW AM 980, Classic Rock 101, and TV Week.

Looks Drive Last year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and The Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon ado won the North American Truck of the Year and models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons a solid basis, the engineers then went about building to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC system that is also available in the Escalade.

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg. Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

Bell is very excited for the opportunity this has

given Brooke and the Sharks’ program. The Sharks will be starting their 2014-2015 season upon their return from Hungary, the week of Sept. 8. Bell aims for growth within the club and hopes to assist swimmers achieve their goals within both competitive and noncompetitive swimming. The Sharks offer several swimming programs. Their Shark school program is aimed at swimmers ages 10 and under and offers the basic building blocks to build swimmers’ knowledge and confidence to potentially become competitive swimmers. This program offers three levels of instruction,
working on comfort in the water, basic swimming strokes and skills, to a precompetitive level. The Sharks’ competitive program is for any age of swimmer who has graduated from the Sharks school or has mastered the basics of swimming and is interested in the competitive aspect of the sport. The Sharks also have a non-competitive stream at this level for those who enjoy swimming but are not attracted to competition. They also have Masters program which caters to all adults who are interested in swimming with a coach. The Masters program is geared to all levels of adults, whether you are
just starting out, returning from a long “hiatus” in swimming or are a triathlete wanting to improve in the pool. If you are interested in joining any one of the Sharks programs, contact coach Bell at 250-650-1680 or kris.r.bell@gmail.com. If you would like to speak to Bell in person and assess what program is best suited for you or your child, stop in at the Aquatic Centre (Lerwick and Ryan) on Sept. 10 or 11 between 5 and 7 p.m. for more information. Remember to bring your swimming gear. The Sharks are looking forward to seeing all returning swimmers for the 2014-2015 season and hope to see many more new faces on the pool deck. – Comox Valley Aquatic Club Sharks

When you’re hot, you’re hot. And the Investors Group Expos are definitely hot. After a slow start to the Komox Men’s Real Baseball League season, the expansion team finished their inaugural year with a flourish, winning six of their last seven games, including a five-game win streak to finish the schedule, and placed sixth in the eight-team league. That streak included a 20-4 thrashing of the pennant-winning Daryl Robbins CGA Nationals as the Expos finished 9-12 after starting 3-11. But the streak – in fact the entire season – did not include a victory over the Brian McLean Yankees. And which team did the Expos face in the first round of the playoffs? The third-place Yankees, of course.
Undeterred, the IG gang continued their torrid play in the post-season, edging the Yanks 6-5 in one of three games played Aug. 24 at Highland Field in Comox. Other first-round games saw secondplace Toneff Funeral Services Blue Jays edge seventh-place Edwards Avenue Athletics 5-4 and fourth-place Happy’s Source for Sports Indians knock off fifth-place Mindset Wealth Mariners 7-4. The playoffs kicked off Aug. 23 at Highland with the first-place Nationals thumping the eighth-place Fisher Realty Twins 17-1. The league took a break for the Labour Day weekend, and second-round playoff action goes Sept. 7 at Highland Field with the Indians taking on the Blue Jays at 10 a.m. and the Expos facing the Nationals at 2 p.m. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com – with a file from Kevin Dobbelsteyn

Ramp camp set
Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy is holding a three-day water ramp training camp Sept. 19-21 at Whistler. Cost is $85 per day, which includes water ramp and coaching fees. The schedule is simple: tramping and ramping from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. It is recommended participants bring skis, helmet, water, snacks, towel, wet suit, warm clothes, umbrella, sunscreen. (“Expect the unexpected with the weather,” says Shane Harle of Podium). Skis are available but bringing personal skis is recommended. Life jackets and wet suits are also available to use. But Harle suggests participants bring a wet suit that fits them. “It can be cold this time of year, so a full wet suit is recommended. Check the weather forecast and bring appropriate stuff.” Each athlete must be a registered member of BCFSA prior to using the water ramp facilities. Insurance can be arranged for $16 for a short time. (Some parents may want to give it a go for the same price as the kids). Payment must be received by
Saturday, Sept. 6. An e-transfer is the easiest, but cheques work as well. “Let me know if you need help with logistics like travel and accommodation, or if you can help out with travel and accommodation of other athletes,” Harle said. “Islanders may be taking the early ferry Fri-
day morning. We may be able to work together and help each other out. Billeting can be arranged.” For more info, contact Harle at www. podiumoflife.com, podiumoflife@shaw.ca, https://www.facebook. com/podiumoflife or 250-204-3141. – Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy

Excellent sockeye fishery currently in progress F
or the past few weeks we have enjoyed recreational sockeye salmon fishing out of Browns Bay that has been bountiful by all standards. One day last week I joined Charley Vaughan and Bruce Bell in a fishing adventure that had as its main objective to catch some salmon for this old man. It was a successful venture as the picture illustrates and I came home with four prime sockeye. We fished just across Johnstone Strait in an area called Plumber Bay outside the closed area. At one time I counted approximately 140 recreational boats and two commercial troll boats around us. It was crowded, although I was told that as many as 300 recreational boats fished this area one day last week. I have no idea how many fish were caught, but boats around us were constantly playing fish and at times there were tangles as boats came too close to fighting fish in other boats. It is the kind of trolling that requires the person at the steering wheel to be constantly alert as to how close the other boats are in your immediate space. The fish we caught were prime fish by any standard. We were on the water by 8 a.m. and there was certainly a hundred boats in the area. Most dedicated sockeye fishers try to be on the water as soon as possible in the morning to catch the early morning bite prior to an ebb tide. By noon the fishing had slowed down, but we were still getting action. Twice during the day we had two fish on at the same time. In crowded conditions this action calls for some good netting techniques and alert steering on the part of the person at the controls. Later at the cleaning table I talked to a person who told
Hunting season is open in the Interior and on Vancouver Island, but we have been so involved with a great fishing season
1984 for his conservation efforts. In 20 years of writing a column in the Comox Valley Record it has won several awards.
NOW OPEN FOR THE SEASON!
Four prime sockeye from a salmon fishing trip to Browns Bay. PHOTO BY RALPH SHAW
OUTDOORS
RALPH SHAW about having four fish on at one time in their boat and netting all four of them. This fishery is based on the late-season Adams River run that occurs every four years. The last time it was spectacular and this year it seems to be headed in the same direction. As I write this column on Aug. 31, I have had reports this morning of thousands of salmon being caught in gill-net fisheries at Port Hardy. The Fraser River Panel reports a diversion rate in Johnstone Straits of at least 95 per cent of the run. It makes me think that there is a traffic diversion notice at the top of Vancouver Island warning all
sockeye salmon that there is a climate change event in the waters off Oregon and they would be wise to go down Johnstone Straits on their home journey to the Fraser and Adams River. Currently there is a huge body of unusually warm water caused by global warming off the Oregon coast and it is affecting water temperature up the coast. This run is a fouryear event and has all the qualities of an Olympic event that attracts thousands of participants from around the globe, and Campbell River is benefiting financially from all the attention as are sporting goods stores throughout the area. Recreational fishing is a profitable way to sell sockeye salmon. When you read this
article I suggest there will be at least a couple of weeks of good sockeye fishing still to be had. The best action to date has been out of Browns Bay, but do not write off local waters at Bates Beach and Cape Lazo. • • • Halibut Fishing - as of Sept. 1 the daily bag limit for recreational caught halibut has been raised to two fish until Dec. 31. The possession limit is still two fish and no change in size limits. • • • Put Sept. 27 on your calendar for the annual Pacific Salmon Foundation Fundraising Dinner at the Filberg Centre. Tickets are available from Gone Fishing Sporting Goods or Judy Ackinclose at $50 per person. • • •

July 17, 1925August 28, 2014 The family of Margaret wishes to recognize the passing of a wonderful sister, mother, motherin-law, and grandmother. Even though Marg’s passing has left a sense of sadness and loss for those left behind, there is also a feeling of joy and relief that she was able to move on to join her husband Russell, parents Edgar and Hattie, siblings Harold and Mae, son in law Dave, grandson Donovan and great grandson Aiden. Margaret was born in Vancouver, and due to her father’s position in the Air Force, lived in various places across the country. She completed post secondary education at Guelph Business College and when her family moved back to BC, took a position working in a financial institution in Vancouver. It was there she met Russ and the two were soon married. Following the military tradition, she accompanied Russ to Clinton Ontario (twice), Ottawa, Comox, Los Angeles, Cold Lake, and finally, retired back to the Comox Valley. Marg committed her life working in the home to raise and care for her family. She loved bowling, curling, golf, and especially bingo. After retiring she also became active in Tops. Margaret is survived by her three children, Judy Nuse of Anaheim, Greg Bush (Kathy) of Nanaimo, and Lorene Blackstock (Mike) of Comox; sister Marie White (Larry) of Kelowna; grandchildren Rick, Rana, Tamara, Garrett, Lindsay, Megan, Nathan, and Ryan; great grandchildren Addyson, Payton, Tanner, and Tegan, and many extended cousins, nieces and nephews. The family would also like to thank Dr. Winter, Dr. Wiens, and the VIHA home care support staff for their long term dedicated care, the Nurse Next Door nurses for their support during Marg’s final days, and the extended family and friends who offered their support and condolences. Margaret will be fondly remembered for her infectious smile, generosity, and warm personality. Flowers gratefully declined. The family would prefer donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

I TOOK MY recycling to the Coun-
try Market recycling station the other day, and as is too often the case, i was once again shocked and disappointed to see all the rubbish mindless people had left all over the ground and piled around the recycling containers. I can’t imagine why the Country Market has been willing to put up with this for all these years, and now that they’ve spiffed up the store with such an attractive image and even prettified the recycling area itself, it must be an extreme annoyance to them to have to clean up the mess some of you folks seem determined to create there. Honestly folks, did your mothers really raise you this way? Do you really think your mothers are still going to come and clean up after you? Leaving bags full of just plain nonrecyclable garbage, and bags or piles of stuff strewn all over that you can’t be bothered to push into the slots, broken household appliances and office chairs etc. etc.......really, you should be named and shamed with photos of your mess in the papers. And surely, surely everyone knows by now that glass is no longer recyclable. Why do you continue to leave all your glass piled on the ground there? It’s people like you who make society have to resort to expensive surveillance cameras and other forms of monitoring, and/ or locked fences with limited hours of access. Grow up! Take responsibility for your own waste! This is NOT a dump for stuff you can’t be bothered to dispose of properly. I would think that sooner or later the extreme patience the Country Market has shown in this regard will wear too thin, and we all will suffer when we lose one of the two recycling stations still left to us. So smarten up, you mindless, inconsiderate slobs!
WOW, THE CONCEPT of young
Comox kids being able to be in a park pre-school program is the best idea going. Those impressionable spirits will experience the joys of nature; under a tree as it rains; under a cool canopy when it is hot. Puddles, bugs, leaves and moss. Ahhhh, please make it happen.
I SUPPORT THE preservation of
Baybrook and its use for nature education. Just as Filberg is highly cherished by residents, and used to attract visitors to a festival, Baybrook would compliment our shoreline preserved areas with a legacy to a great Canadian naturalist, and attract both residents of the Comox Valley and visitors. It is a win-win.
Help Fight Crime In The Comox Valley Your membership is an important contribution to the funding of our local program.
I FEEL THE nature house is a great idea. I live in Courtenay and have come to really love the centre at miracle beach, although I seldom visit because of it’s distance from town. Thank you for considering this proposal. PLEASE ALLOW BAYBROOK to
be restored as a nature house. The setting makes it an ideal teaching tool, with rich variety of flora and fauna in Mack Liang park, a front door to the ocean, and numerous fruit and nut trees on the Baybrook property. I have been on a couple of nature walks with the Young Naturalists Club, one in Mack Liang Park, and one out at low tide at Point Holmes. I witnessed genuine excitement from the kids, as well as their parents, as their tour guides showed them the wonders of the natural world. Children and their parents learning new things and being amazed together is priceless. A Baybrook nature house would inspire more of this in our families. Mack Liang wished for his property to become a park for the community to enjoy, and now Mack Liang Park is a favorite place for many in Comox. He also wished to turn Baybrook into a nature house for learning about the natural world. I think we would be wise to take advantage of this gift as well.
AS A STUDENT, I am very sick
and tired of the strike. I am also mad. School was something I very much looked forward to, especially going into a new, big school. I looked forward to new classes, new friends, and most importantly new responsibilities. On my last day of school I left watching my teacher sit on the sidewalk with all the other teachers holding picket signs and waving at people who drove by. That was my reminder that school would probably not start as planned. Summer went by and I just got sadder and sadder as strike matters didn’t resolve. Now I find out that that school probably won’t start as planned and my backpack is already filled with school supplies and locker stuff sitting in a corner of my room as I wait for good news that won’t come. What would happen if matters resolved and the teachers got what they want? What if all the other unions wanted raises too? B.C. would go broke! Also class sizes seem fine to me, smaller classes would need more class rooms and more teachers right? So really what’s the problem there? My teacher taught my class of 28 and she seemed just fine! Why can’t they just settle on MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION/RENEWAL an agreement and get, representing over it?

THE PEOPLE WHO think it’s a “no-brainer” to turn the old Baybrook house into an outdoor education centre for preschoolers should take a good look at this derelict building. To be used as part of a “school”, it would have to comply with modern safety codes and provide sanitary kitchen and bathroom facilities suitable for small children. A report issued in 2013 has already determined that “the cost of renovating and saving the building would exceed the cost of reconstruction”. There is no parking available for staff or for parents dropping off children and the residents of this quiet neighborhood - most of whom have NOT been consulted - would have to put up with a substantial increase in street traffic. The Filberg lodge and grounds would be far more suitable for this purpose. If the supporters of this project are determined to go ahead with it, they had better be prepared to raise the money themselves. (Presumably the out-of-province college professors who think this is such a great idea will be happy to help fund the project!) No taxpayer with any construction experience would agree to waste their tax dollars on such a hopeless renovation. I AM HAVING my say. and thank-
ing my family, four sons, three daughter-in-laws,six grandchildren and one great grandson, for a well organized surprise party on August 23rd. Fiftytwo people came to it. My two brothers and their wives, plus a sister-inlaw,nieces and nephews, an Aunt, Cousins, old Friends and Neighbour. I was given some wonderful gifts. And I am saying thank you to everyone, as I did not to get to do it at the party, with such a big attendance. “THANK YOU EVERYONE !”
THE BCTF NEEDS to rethink their
failed bargaining strategy. At least the $40/day could allow some parents to seek private schooling for their kids. The Liberal BC Government has a recent history of “privatizing” public services. Some Examples are BC Ferries, BC Forests, Public Hospitals and Bridges. They may be creating an environment for privatizing education in BC. Parents are tired of this ongoing nonsense and some will seek out private education. Fewer students in public school means less funding for public education. The BCTF is on a lose /lose/ lose path. Students/parents/B.C. public school teachers are the losers with the BCTF approach.
COURTNEY BLAKE - I’m glad Don had the testicular fortitude to address the crowd. I imagine it must be very difficult for him to be forced by his party to support one idea, despite having personal reasons to support the opposite. If he steps down from Liberal membership and continues as an independent due to how the government is handling these strikes, he will get my vote next election. FRANCES EASTERBROOK HILDER – Don is a good man ... all
politics aside ... just a good family guy trying to do his job.
KEVIN EAST – Don and the Liberals are good people. People ned to stop bashing and look at both parties for a resolution. Or leave B.C.!
JEREMY LYSTER - If people are go-
ing to protest, they should also be at the district teachers association office, as well as at Don McRae’s office.
Thread: Have you done the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge yet? MEGHAN HINTON – I think it is great if people actually donate after doing the water part of the challenge.
MARIE KALAWA – It’s done its job. I was very ignorant to it before. My eyes are open now. EUGENE DOWNHILL SKIS - I think with $110,000,000.00, it’s enough to find a cure. DIAN ANDERSON - I think it is great. It has definitely raised the awareness of this terrible disease.
Thread: Seeking Stotan Falls input:
DAVID GRAY – The City is too busy fighting the homeless to save the falls. TYLER VOIGT - I honestly did feel
like I was being tricked into signing the petition and I’m sure many people had no idea what they were signing. The question was phrased as such that 3L would donate the portion of land to the regional district to keep it “open to the public.” What’s the catch that isn’t mentioned? Well of course the regional district would have to rezone for development purposes as a condition of this ‘donation.’ Was this mentioned while soliciting signatures? Absolutely not.

SBA invites entrepreneurs to meeting The Comox Valley Small Business Association hosts a 5 p.m. meeting Thursday, Sept. 4 at the Filberg Centre, lower level Evergreen Room. Networking is from 5-5:30 p.m., followed by the educational portion until 6:30. The meeting will end by 7 p.m. “We have adjusted the time for our meetings to encourage more people to come out,” said Carolyn Touhey, volunteer marketing director for the SBA. “With an earlier start and end time, we hope more young entrepreneurs, who may have to be home for dinner and homework with children, will be able to join the group. Or, those who want to come right from work or just don’t want to be out past 8 p.m., especially in the winter, may find the new time slot more appealing.” The guest speaker is Lee-Ann Dixon of 98.9 The GOAT presenting on Why Choose Radio? Bring any question you
might have for LeeAnn. The spotlight speaker will be Maxine LeFlour of Life Matters Asset Management.
There is no charge to attend the meeting as a guest for up to two meetings per year. Yearly dues to join the group are $95.
The SBA — in its 17th year — meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month, except December, July and August.

COMOX VALLEY’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER Publisher: Zena Williams : publisher@comoxvalleyrecord.com Editor: Terry Farrell : editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com Sales Manager: Liz Royer : sales@comoxvalleyrecord.com Ph: 250-338-5811 / Fax: 250-338-5568 / Classified: 1-855-310-3535 A division of Black Press Ltd. 765 McPhee Avenue, Courtenay, B.C. V9N 2Z7 www.comoxvalleyrecord.com editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com The Comox Valley Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith,B.C. V9G 1A9. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org
Two sides to blame Given the dispute between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the employer, which for all intents and purposes is the provincial government, has dragged on for months, it seems quite likely there will be no classes into the foreseeable future. This is completely unacceptable. There is no shortage of blame to go around, but it is the two primary parties in the dispute who have brought public school students and their parents to this sad state of affairs. At one time, the B.C. Liberal government banned strikes by teachers, saying that using students as pawns in a labour dispute was unacceptable. That was a move that met with considerable public support. However, teachers disregarded the ban and went on strike in 2005, and actually gained considerable public sympathy, partly due to the fact that the B.C. Liberals had torn up part of their existing contract, and partly due to the fact that their emphasis was on class size and composition. That’s the emphasis again, and this time the strike is perfectly legal. It appears that the first part of September, and maybe the whole month, will be an education loss for students. The public has absolutely no control over the BCTF, and any discipline to be handed out there must be done by BCTF members, if enough of them disagree with the union executive’s actions in continuing this strike. The public does have at least a measure of control over the provincial government. The ability to recall MLAs exists, although it is very difficult to do. If the government doesn’t start showing a lot more concern for students’ education, and actually move heaven and Earth to get classrooms open, it would be appropriate for parents in all ridings held by Liberal MLAs to look into starting recall campaigns. The fact is, neither side is taking students’ education all that seriously. They are treating this as a political fight — something both the BCTF and B.C. Liberals excel at. The education system exists so students can have a brighter future as adults. It’s high time they were back in class.

Record Question of the Week This week: Only 18 per cent of our respondents say they have taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Next week: Would you install a device in your vehicle that would disable cell phones and laptops while the car is in motion? Go to www.comoxvalleyrecord and vote in the Poll on the mainpage. Coach Kris Bell and swimmer Brooke Lamoureux of the CVAC Sharks are off to the world junior open water championships.
The BC Liberals are in absolutely no rush to work out a deal with B.C. teachers, so how will this standoff ever end?

up paying over 50% of their gross incomes on housing, a not uncommon scenario in the Valley which means they have very little money to buy other things, which explains all the empty stores in downtown Courtenay. It used to be that people making minimum wage were kids living with their parents, trying to pick up a few extra bucks with a part-time job. I don’t know this for certain, but I strongly suspect that more and more, minimum wage jobs are being held by regular people just trying to make it through the day and not by marginal populations like high school kids. Whatever, the case is that housing subsidies are necessary partly because of the low wages businesses pay their workers. I don’t blame businesses for this, but I do get riled up a little when people don’t recognize that we all pay in one way or another with our taxes so that businesses can survive and pay minimum wages to their employees. We need to recognize social housing as an investment in our community, not as charity.

He is a guest columnist for the Comox Valley Record, addressing social issues within the community. His blog, dedicated to the issue, is rogeralbert.org
Get mediator involved in dispute Dear editor, I am writing on behalf of the Cumberland Community Schools Society (CCSS) to express our concern regarding the current contract dispute between the BC Government and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). If the contract dispute and associated job action continue into the fall, the programs
and services we offer will be greatly impacted. This will affect not only families with children in the school system, but community members of all ages. CCSS is a registered charity that works in partnership with local schools to provide valuable programs and services to Cumberland residents. We are writing to respectfully request
that the BC Government and the BCTF work with an independent mediator toward a balanced and equitable contract settlement for all parties involved. We urge both parties to work as quickly as possible to resolve the dispute and sign a mediated contract. Sue Loveless Executive Director, Cumberland Community Schools Society

Disabling cellphones in vehicle a great idea Dear editor, Good article! (Flip the switch on cell phones; editorial, Aug. 28) Your idea fits with ours. A smart company could manufacture this device. We
could purchase it and have installed on our vehicles to do just as you say. Render smartphones, laptops etc. useless while the engine is engaged in a gear other then park or neutral.
Then those of us having the device in our vehicles could get an ICBC discount just like homeowners get a discount for having an alarm system installed in their home.
The majority of us watch the distracted driving of individuals engaged in cell phone use and hope they do not cause an accident. Lynn and Dick Sangster Courtenay
It’s time to end excessive demands on our tax dollar

Dear editor, I deeply sympathize with the British Columbia teachers, their jobs are getting increasingly more challenging, with larger class size and more special needs children in their classes with fewer and fewer supports. However I think we need to see why this is happening. There IS a limit to where wages can go. When wages go up, cuts have to happen elsewhere. So support staff are cut, teachers are cut, class sizes increase, teachers become over worked and stressed and the children suffer. Parents, who are able, pull their children out of an increasingly non-functioning system, resulting in less $$ to go around. The BCTF are doing to our education system what the unions did to the British docks in the ‘60s. They closed them down, resulting in thousands to land up unemployed and on the dole. I am all for unions: they are essential to a healthy democracy, however, when militant unions make excessive demands on our tax dollar it is time to make a halt. Our children are suffering; their lives are being played with. They have become pawns in a game of politics; as a result our whole education system is failing society. It is not right, it’s not fair and something has to change. Rachel Reynolds Comox
Third bridge not needed Dear editor, This is to add my voice to Cliff Boldt’s letter to your paper, Aug. 26 (Council should not give third crossing a second thought). Building another bridge to cross the Courtenay River is one of the stupidest ideas that’s been brought up for discussion. I too am outraged that Courtenay council would even consider such a proposition. There are many items more deserving if they have that much money to burn. Please don’t add more reasons for us to think the worst of you, Mayor and councillors. If the Condensory bridge, 5th Street
bridge, 17th St. bridge aren’t good enough for you to make the commute, stay home. I already have serious doubts about the agenda of the mayor and many councillors. What is the point
to another crossing? There are no economic or environmental reasons so don’t waste your time considering it. There are more important issues. B. A. Mitchell Comox Valley

The Community Foundation, an independent philanthropic organization, provides a unique way in which you can establish a special legacy fund that will generate income for your community on an annual basis. This income is used to help support a variety of local charitable organizations that make applications through a granting process. Currently the Foundation administers over 75 of these special funds that have been established by individuals, families, businesses and other organizations. Because the Foundation is able to pool and invest these funds as a whole, it is able to generate considerably higher returns than if your fund was invested on its own. When you set up a fund, your investment becomes a permanent source of community capital that can be relied upon to help enhance the quality of life in the Comox Valley. One of the other advantages of creating a legacy fund is that it can be added to over the course of time. For example some families have established funds as a memorial to loved ones and on special occasions will top up the fund with additional donations. Another example is a fund set up by a company that allows it and their employees to create an ongoing impact for corporate goodwill. The Community Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors who bring their individual skill sets to the table and at the same time reflect a broad cross section of the community’s demographics. Collectively, this group of people has an in-depth knowledge of the issues that shape the community. This enables them to make decisions that will be of benefit to as many groups as possible. Since 1998 the Foundation has disbursed over $1.3 million in grants to support local charitable organizations. It currently has over $4.4 million in assets that are invested on behalf of the community.
