A second incident in two weeks involving a cyclist hitting a vehicle serves as a reminder from police for cyclists to wear a helmet and ensure they obey the rules of road. Wednesday evening around 10:30 p.m., a cyclist struck an SUV at the corner of 5th Street and Fitzgerald in Courtenay, sending the cyclist to hospital. “The cyclist was coming down 5th Street and the vehicle was making a left hand turn at 5th and Fitzgerald and had already begun the turn and the cyclist ran into the side of the SUV,” said Comox Valley RCMP Const. Tammy Douglas to media. “It’s a four-way stop. It’s important for cyclists to remember they have the same rules of the road as the vehicles do, so they’re required to stop as is a vehicle is required to stop as well.” Douglas added the cyclist was unresponsive at first, but eventually regained consciousness. He appeared to have a head injury and was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox for evaluation. “He wasn’t wearing a helmet and he was dressed in dark clothes at nighttime so visibility is really important and certainly wear-

dition is that the province drop its proposed E80 clause, which allows either side to dodge the effect of a future appeal court ruling against them on class size and special needs resources. “Their attempt to bargain their way out of their two court losses has been the biggest obstacle to a settlement,” Iker said. Prior to the BCTF offer, government negotiator Peter Cameron said arbitration was undesirable, not just because of the financial risk to government, but because it takes the decision out of the hands of both the government and the BCTF. “The parties end up not really having made the hard decisions and owning the outcome,” he said. “And it involves a third party, who would likely be a labour relations person rather than an educator, making educational decisions.”

A public hearing concerning proposed amendments to Commercial One zoning (C-1) and downtown land use regulations will be held at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15 in Courtenay council chambers. Last Tuesday, council approved second reading of a zoning amendment bylaw intended to help redevelop downtown. Proposed changes would allow a liquor store throughout the zone, among other provisions. “This is a first step to change for downtown,” director of development services Peter Crawford said.
Recognized for going green
The provincial government/Union of B.C. Municipalities Green Communities Commission has awarded the City of Courtenay the second level of recognition for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and moving towards carbon neutrality. Level 2 (measurement) entitles the city to green community branding for use on websites and letter heads. “This is something that I think our community needs to know more about,” Coun. Doug Hillian said. “I think we can be proud of the efforts of the city and our staff. It acknowledges that this is real, that human activity does make a difference.” CAO David Allen says the city will move up to the third level, which acknowledges local governments that achieve carbon neutrality in a reporting year. He notes some communities have achieved Level 3 status by purchasing carbon offsets internationally or across North America.

Cable ferry construction underway Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Construction of the new cable ferry to run from Buckley Bay to Denman Island began Wednesday at Seaspan in North Vancouver, marking the beginning of the next new vessel in the BC Ferries’ fleet. It is scheduled to start servicing the route next summer. “We’re proud of our partnership with Seaspan and we know that they will construct an excellent ship for the millions of customers who will sail on her over the next 40 years,” BC Ferries’ president/ CEO Mike Corrigan said in a news release.
About 578 tons of steel will be used in the construction process, expected to take just under eight months. The project will employ 50 to 100 workers. The cable ferry will measure 78.5 metres. It will accommodate 50 vehicles, and 150 passengers and crew. It will operate with one drive cable and two guide cables. With a crossing of about 1,900 metres, the ferry will be the longest of its kind in the world, capable of speeds of 8.5 knots with a normal service speed of 7.5 knots. According to BC Ferries, cost savings will exceed $80 million over the life of the project
compared to the current service. Yearly savings of $2 million will help with fare affordability across the coastal ferry system. Labour costs are about half of a conventional ferry. Denman and Hornby Island residents have voiced overwhelming opposition to the project, concerned about safety and reliability. Others are angry about job losses and crew reductions. A petition containing 1,800 signatures was given to Comox Valley MLA Don McRae, who was asked to deliver it to Transportation Minister Todd Stone. The cable ferry will
replace the Quinitsa that runs between Denman and the big island. A crew of six operates the Quinitsa at any one time while a cable ferry would require three people. The entire Quinitsa crew consists of about 30 employees, roughly half of whom live on Denman while the other half reside on the big island, BC Ferries says. Cutbacks could be through attrition, though some employees may be re-assigned to other routes. The corporation says the cable ferry will provide the same level of service as the selfpropelled vessel on the route. However, with
Burton: Wrong message sent
Continued from Page A1
Following the sentencing, Burton addressed the media from her wheelchair outside the courthouse. “Angry, frustrated … (I’m) a little bit relieved that it’s over,” she explained. “It felt less like a sentencing 10.375" X 2.857 and more like he was getting a
really lax grounding from the judge.” “I wanted jail time ... I knew it was an unrealistic expectation. I’ve been jailed; it seems pretty unfair that he isn’t. I think that it is a criminal system, not a justice system, because it is not built around justice, it’s built around catering to criminals largely.”
Burton said she hopes the sentencing acts as a deterrent, but, “the message this sends is that you’re allowed to plow into somebody ... and ruin their life, way to waste their life for a year and probably many more years to come, and you’re going to be grounded by a judge for a couple of months.”
no propellers and three times the fuel efficiency as conventional vessels, a cable ferry is a more sustainable and “greener” alternative to marine transportation. Upgrades at the Buckley Bay and Denman Island West terminals will be complete by the end of the year.

My kids have never had family around I think it is an important value they need to learn before they start their own families. By you listening to me and taking the time to show my mother in law properties that you knew were not going to be purchased right away is a step above. Thank you once again.” ~ Sheila Coe “From the very first day that we registered online to look for property, Derek was with us every step of the way. Through the whole process of viewing properties, making the offer and following through with the sale, he was extremely knowledgeable and meticulous with all the details. We were so impressed by his enthusiasm and his willingness to go above and beyond, and always with patience and a great sense of humour. He always made himself available to us and was there after we moved in to check on our progress. We would definitely have no hesitation in recommending Derek to anyone looking for a trustworthy and conscientious realtor.” ~ Laraine Charter and Barry Beech

Enhancement work to improve marsh
WE CLEAN
takes place from Sept. 8 to 12. “Urban wetlands such as the Lazo Marsh can be subject to ingrowth of vegetation over time and the natural processes are no longer at work to maintain or increase open water habitat,” says Bond. “DUC will work with a local contractor to mechanically remove portions of vegetation, and this will increase open water as well as habitat complexity.” DUC has been involved at Lazo Marsh since the 1980s and installed water control structures that maintain water levels throughout the year. Project partners have also been involved in previous restoration work to increase open water.
“After the last habitat enhancement project at Lazo Marsh, we observed over 5,000 waterfowl using the marsh that fall,” says Dan Buffett, DUC’s Head of Conservation Programs for the BC Coast. Lazo Marsh is important habitat for wintering and migrating waterfowl in the region. It is also is a valuable site for local
songbirds, amphibians and other wildlife. Studies are underway to investigate potential improvements to amphibian habitat along Lazo Road. This work would improve passage for amphibians such as the Red-legged Frog during movements between the north and south portions of the marsh.

One of Comox’s most productive urban natural areas is getting a buzz cut soon. Lazo Marsh will have large portions of in-grown vegetation removed this week to better the overall health of the marsh. “As summer moves to an end, Ducks Unlimited Canada and our partners are taking advantage of low water levels in the marsh to complete a restoration project that will reopen areas that have been overtaken by vegetation,” says Jeanine Bond, DUC conservation specialist. “Keeping open water in wetlands is key for maintaining important wildlife habitat. This work will benefit waterfowl and also many other species including amphibians, songbirds and other wildlife.” Lazo Marsh is part of the Lazo Marsh – North East Comox Wildlife Management Area.

Adjacent to their photos you will find a plaque in the sidewalk that permanently
commends their contribution to the world through science, sport, cultural, social or political achievements. “We’ve honoured nine recipients with a plaque in the sidewalk since 2006,” says CVWofA committee member Neil Havers. “We felt this was not enough, and thanks to a generous donation by Mr. Bruce McPhee, we were able to put together a CVWofA website and place window decals for each recipient adjacent to their sidewalk plaques

Writer inspired by great-grandfather’s letters Four years ago, when Tony Reynolds and his wife sold their organic farm, she told him he needed a project. “Why don’t you take all those letters your great-grandfather wrote and do something with them?” Reynolds had written all his life – first as a journalist, then as a bureaucrat in Ottawa. But he wasn’t sure he could handle a novel. On the Wing of the Morning proves he can. Reynolds launches his book at Laughing Oyster Book Shop in Courtenay, 7 p.m. Thursday. The book is loosely based on more than 200 letters Reynolds’ great-grandfather wrote as an immigrant from Scotland to the Canadian prairies in the late-19th century. “The letters are such a rich treasure trove of life at that time,” Reynolds says. “To ease his loneliness during the long, cold winters, my great-grandfather wrote to his family as if he was having a conversation with them. What’s truly amazing is that someone had the foresight to save
REYNOLDS
them. They’re now at the Manitoba archives.” Although the novel has a strong biographical element, it is fiction. “In Ottawa, I wrote letters, briefings and reports so I was nervous about tackling fiction.” He read an article about a movie script writer who suggested the way to make a story come alive was to create a structure to work from. So, while on holiday in Mexico, Reynolds drafted a 35-chapter outline. “That really gave me a sense of confidence and security,” he says. “Of course, the story departed from the structure quickly but by then I felt relaxed enough to let my imagination go.”
On the Wings of the Morning focuses on two brothers who, like his great-grandfather and sibling, left the family tenement farm to start a new life in Canada. The two fictional young men have different personalities and goals. Rob, the dutiful son, is looking for land he and his entire family can call their own. Tom is more apt to follow his heart. He’s searching for adventure and escape from the scandal he left behind. Encouraged by the rich soil, the brothers pre-empt land in southern Manitoba. Loneliness, wild fires, sickness and brutally cold winters challenge their resolve. On one trip back from the nearest settlement, they’re forced to spend the night standing between their two oxen to prevent freezing to death. And it’s not long after Louis Riel’s Red River Rebellion, so tensions with native peoples abound. When Tom marries a woman from a nearby encampment, discrimination becomes part of family life.
“Although the letters are quoted sparingly, they provided a lens to understand how life was for people who first broke ground in the Canadian prairies,” Reynolds said. “Of course, that involved researching the social morays and prejudices of the times.” Reynolds worked on the book off and on for four years. “It was often a struggle,” he admits. “Some days I’d write 500 to 600 words; other days I’d barely manage 50 to 60. At the end of each session, I’d think, ‘This is terrible.’ But the next morning it wouldn’t look so bad. “I enjoyed the rewriting,” he adds. “Once you have the first draft done, the pressure is off.” Like many authors, Reynolds is now hooked on writing books. “I love the process of being alone in your thoughts,” he says. “Even though writing a book is a lot of work, there is also a lot of joy. I’m mulling over some ideas for the next one.” On the Wings of the Morning retails for $20.95.

Thursday Night Jazz features John Lee Trio One of the great challenges of the Georgia Straight Jazz Society is to tempt jazz lovers to experience new acts – unknown performers about whom no one can truly attest. Such was the case last December when John Lee debuted in Courtenay. Not so this time! Lee and his Nanaimo trio returns to the Avalanche Bar and Grill Thursday. This is his second appearance, in response to the many requests we’ve received “to get him back as soon as possible.” An audience of about 70 people were stunned by his last performance. The response was a standing ovation. Bassist Lee was raised on the west coast islands of Canada. He’s been playing music since the age of five. By the time he completed high school, he had received much attention from professional musicians in Canada, earning an impressive collection of awards, scholarships and honours from jazz festivals, including Envision Jazz Festival, MusicFest Canada and Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. With the support of the Slaight Family
John Lee plays the Av. Scholarship, Lee continued his studies at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he pursued a bachelor of music in performance. In addition to his academic training, Lee has studied with

his ability to connect the audience to his music and live charisma. He performs regularly in colleges, universities, clubs and concert halls. Lee has also performed in clubs in major North American cities, and has shared the stage with international jazz artists such as Cyrus Chestnut, Terell Stafford, Ingrid Jensen, Christine Jensen, Phil Dwyer and Joel Miller. Besides performing, Lee is a dedicated educator. He has founded and directed his own jazz programs, including an annual fiveweek summer jazz program, Next Generation Quintet, located on Vancouver Island. After years of performing and studying in Boston, Lee returned to his hometown of Nanaimo to establish an educating practice and career. As an artist, he is developing his debut album featuring a complete set of original compositions and arrangements. He uses Grestch drums, Zild-
jian cymbals, Remo drumheads and Vater sticks and brushes. Sean Drabitt, bass, left Victoria 24 years ago to study jazz bass in Los Angeles with mentor John Clayton. The next decade he spent first in New Orleans, where he worked with all members of the Marsalis family, then in New York, working with the best young players on the modern jazz scene, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mark Turner, Eric Harland and Ari Honig among them. Specializing in a driving hard bopinformed style of bass playing, he returned to Victoria about 15 years ago. He divides his time between projects on electric and acoustic bass. Recent highlights include a western Canadian tour with Stafford’s quintet in 2012 and a number of gigs with pianist George Colligan. Paul Odeh, piano, is based in New York City where he performs with the likes of George Coleman, Essiet Okon Essiet and
other jazz luminaries. Cover charge is $10 for GSJS members and

COMOX VALLEY RECORD ♦ SPORTS EDITOR: EARLE COUPER ♦ TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 2014
G-Kings drop first two games Earle Couper Record Staff
Celebrating their ‘white gold’ medals at the 2014 Canada 55+ Games are (from left) Kim Jonsson, Mary Holden, Sharon Walker and Mickey Colburn.
Jonsson rink earns silver at Games Team Jonsson, representing Team BC in the senior women’s 55+ curling category, won silver at the 2014 Canada 55+ Games this past week in Sherwood Park, Alta. Kim was skipping the team of third Mary Holden, second Sharon Walker and lead Mickey Colburn. They played a round-robin format against Nova Scotia, PEI, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and realized their goal of advancing to the gold medal game. Their Nova Scotia competition, skipped by Colleen Pickney from the Truro Curling Club, was tough. She and her lead won the Canadian Senior
title last season, taking the trophy for the second time. To top that off, her team competed at the World Senior Curling Championship in Dumfries, Scotland in April 2014 and took the silver medal against Scotland. The Jonsson team had a slow start in the final game, with Pinkney taking an early lead. However, the Comox Valley Curling Club quartet came back strong and tied the game in the eighth, going to an extra end. It was shot for shot, coming down to the Jonsson team lying two in the house without hammer and Pickney needing a perfect shot to break the tie and win the gold. It was a nail-
bitter with the gallery focused on the exciting end, with Pickney’s last rock slightly over curling but settling in for shot. What a great game and there was a comment that the silver medal was really white gold! Heather Nedohin, who has competed in the Alberta and Canadian Scotties as well as at the Ford Worlds, presented the curling teams with their medals in an exciting finish to an incredible four days of curling. Team Jonsson is preparing for the 2014 BC Seniors Games in Langley from Sept. 9-13. They will be defending their gold title from last year. – Comox Valley Curling Club
The Comox Valley Glacier Kings needed overtime to decide their first regular season game – and a calculator to keep track of the score in their home opener. In an inauspicious start to their 2014-15 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season, the Yetis fell 4-3 in OT to the Campbell River Storm on Sept. 5 then were blown out 9-3 by the Kerry Park Islanders on Sept. 6. Their season-opener Friday in Campbell River saw the Icemen battle back from a 3-1 deficit midway through the second period to force overtime on Dylan Sampson’s power play goal at 13:34 of third. But Colin Blake ruined the comeback bid at 3:10 of the first OT period to give the Storm the 4-3 win. Franco Colapaolo and Liam Shaw also scored for Comox Valley, who were out-shot 36-31. Riley Mathieson took the loss in net. On Saturday night at the Comox Valley Sports Centre, the Glacier Kings and Islanders were tied 2-2 after one period before the visitors’ offence caught fire and out-scored the Yetis 7-1 over the final two frames to prevail 9-3. Austin McNeil, Ty Madden and Shaw tallied for the G-Kings while first star Cameron Nickerson had a three-point (2g, 1a) night for Kerry Park. Blake Pearson played the first two periods in net for the Icemen and was tagged with the loss. He stopped 12 of 18 shots while Mathieson stopped seven of 10 shots in the third. The Yetis are hoping home ice will be more of an advantage this weekend. The Oceanside Generals pay a visit on Friday, Sept. 12 and the Nanaimo Buccaneers are in Courtenay on Saturday, Sept. 13. Game time is 7:30 p.m. both nights. ICE CHIPS Campbell River and Westshore both won their first two games of the year to take the lead in their respective divisions … sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Betty June Bryden
July 14, 1931 – August 13, 2014 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother at the age of 83. Betty passed away peacefully at home with her children around her for her last few days. She was borne in Murray Corner PEI and spent most of her adult life on Vancouver Island. Survived by Sister Shirley (from Winnipeg), partner Joe Banwell, daughters Kim (Steve), Shelley, sons George (Barb), David (Terry), grandchildren Katie, Evan, Corey, Amber, Shane, Katrina, Ellen and Tamara. Great grandchildren Alexander, Aidan, Logan, Noland, Olivia. Predeceased by son Shane, parents Alfred and Dora Faulkner, brother Gordon and sisters Beverly and Marion. Betty will be remembered for her willingness to help others, the love she offered her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and when she was able, her dance steps with her partner Joe. Our house will be empty without our mother but our hearts will be warmed with the thoughts and memories we have of mom.

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
Candidates stepping forward Candidates are coming forward for our consideration. In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the municipal election Nov. 15. On that date, Comox Valley residents will be entrusted to elect three mayors, city councillors and school trustees who will represent us for the next four years. Some people have indicated their intentions; many have yet to go public. Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and they have another 10 days after that (Oct. 10) before the deadline to hand in nomination packages. We hope, most of all, that there will be strong candidates, but we hope also that there will be a variety of candidates. Currently, only two of Courtenay’s seven-member elected council are women. In Comox, it’s a near-even split, with three of seven being women. Cumberland bucks the trend, as three of the five on the elected council are women. As for the Comox Valley Regional District, women account for three of 10 board members. Beyond gender, there can be a place at the council table for candidates of any age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, social standing or political leaning. Rather than categorize and divide us, these diversities can create a broader perspective. Compromise and co-operation are a part of democracy. Of course we realize that counting councillors by gender – or any classification – is an oversimplification. Candidates will be judged on their merit, their character, their priorities and promises, their strength and smarts, their motivation, their intentions. We hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to elect just the sort of representatives we’re looking for, both men and women. –Adapted from the Campbell River Mirror

school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Don’t be feeling sorry for ICBC; no need to raise rates Dear editor, Just finished reading the editorial column regarding ICBC (Flip the switch on cell phones, Aug. 28) I definitely agree with your comments regarding phones, tabs, and all the other assorted distractions. I don’t however agree with your reasoning that that makes it OK to raise rates. I would sug-
gest you investigate the past 10 years of ICBC profits, which have on several occasions risen to the point of obscene. You would think, then, that ICBC would reduce rates for drivers, or at least hold the line for several years. Do you know what happens to those profits? Our provincial government, in their typical “chuck you Farley” attitude, transfers
the profits into their general revenues, and to heck with the drivers who paid the high premiums to create the surplus, we’ll just raise next year’s rates again, to get another surplus, to transfer. So don’t go feeling sorry for ICBC! Just another provincial ripoff.

Teachers’ dispute has far-reaching consequences Dear editor, Re: Current contract dispute between BC government and BCTF 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. These include a healthy food program, with subsidies available for families in need, free
after-school programs and community programming for all ages. We are in the process of opening a youth centre that will provide much-needed services for vulnerable youth in our community. With the schools closed due to job action, we are unable to provide these important services.
For some students, public school and the additional programs we offer are the only consistent support system they have. Access to healthy food and a variety of learning and recreational opportunities are being taken away from our students and community members. CCSS also provides employment for Cumberland residents and supports local businesses whenever possible. The inability to run programming will have a significant impact on our local economy and the relationships we have built with other community organizations, local businesses and indi-
viduals. We are writing to respectfully request that the B.C. 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. We thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely,
Sue Loveless Executive director, Cumberland Community Schools Society
Mack Laing’s legacy much richer than what rotting wood can offer Dear editor, I have always been interested in history. My favourite topic for reading has been historical material and travelling around the world. I have spent many happy hours exploring historic sites, museums and monuments, and learning the history of the region.
I always equate history with the people who left behind legacies such as art, inventions, ideas, and so on. I cannot possibly equate Mack Laing with a rotten wooden structure. He left a legacy of a person who was an ornithologist, naturalist, environmentalist and so on. These are the essence of Mack Laing,
his spirit you could say. It is the spirit of an individual and his hopes we must preserve. Mack wanted a nature education centre established and more praise to him for this. However, I am sure that he never anticipated that his wooden house would eventually end up as most wooden structures
here do. Historically, we did not build stone buildings, so this is our heritage. Our aboriginal people are masters of preserving their past by means of oral history. Perhaps we could start saving our history in saving the spirit and dreams of our earliest citizens and not dwell on rotten wood. It would make a lot
Maple Pool-style campground a simple solution to homelessness Dear editor, The CVRD has announced a poll to use some of our taxes specifically to helping house the homeless of our Valley. What an opportunity to directly affect a problem that our local governments have been tap-dancing around for years. Here’s the plan: commit your vote to add the maximum amount offered to our taxes ($10) and then ask the candidates for council seats what they plan to do with the money. All will agree it needs to be dealt with, but that’s just rhetoric and should be ignored. Any that even suggest a study should be crossed from your list of possible councillors. Any that just suggest a committee, with no firm deadlines, should get the same treatment. Those that outline a plan should get your consideration.
Those with the best plan should get your vote. The Courtenay councillors have only managed to spend thousands of our dollars trying to make more homeless. Others have offered no solutions or suggested we hire expensive experts to find the solutions for us. Not only the homeless, but all the people in our Valley, including businesses, need some direct action (some might suggest leadership). Imagine if the results of this election effectively dealt with only this one issue. What a difference it would be actually having something to vote for, and having our local governments focused on solving an important issue. Here’s just one suggestion: the City of Courtenay open a campground. Services and maintenance of such a facility are minimal. Offer really good long-term rates. Hire the people who own the (Maple Pool) campground on
Headquarters Road to run it, as they obviously know what they are doing. Change the Headquarters campground on the river into a really nice summer campground so that visitors would actually have somewhere to stay in our city while they are hopefully shopping at our stores. And most importantly, don’t think of all the reasons that a plan won’t work, think of reasons why it will. Aren’t you tired of being told why things that would make this place better “just can’t” be done. Are you tired of being ignored and feeling unwelcome at council meetings? It’s time we expected more from our local governments. How about we elect more real leaders this time around, instead of just the few who get stifled by the unimaginative majority? Ron Crowther Courtenay
of sense to raise money for an educational, interpretative centre located elsewhere or even on a seasonal basis in a central location easily accessible. I cannot see any reason to donate money for a rotten, derelict building. Shirley McLoughlin Comox

Custom-made in the Valley
Scott Stanfield Record Staff
A Comox couple design and build snowboards and skis out of a shop at their Little River home. Evan Fair and Angela Farquharson are the co-founders and creators of Kindred Custom Snowboards. He builds them while she provides the artistry. For now, they are a two-person team with no employees. “It was Evan’s idea to try building snowboards,” Farquharson said. “It seemed to us that it would be a great application of our combined talents. Plus it sounded like fun.” An avid skateboarder and snowboarder, Fair grew up in Calgary where he coached at Olympic Park. He wound up in the Comox Valley after following a friend to Vancouver Island in search of deep snowpack. A background in carpentry combined with a knowledge of competitive snowboarding means he is the primary builder and performance specifications master at Kindred. Farquharson, who hails from Bolton, Ont., has a diverse employment background and education in film, media and art history. The couple met at Mount Washington when she was events/ market research coordinator and he was an ‘odd jobber.’ They source lumber locally, using fir and yellow cedar for grain orientation and strength-to-weight ratio. Their snowboards, splitboards and skis sell from $650 to $1,000. Farquharson notes the Valley is filled with people who support local business and appreciate handcrafted items. “As our name suggests, our family and friends have kept us balanced along the way,” she said. “They are the compass and backbone of Kindred.” Initially, they kept other jobs while finetuning the qualities of a high-performance snowboard. As of last fall, the business became a full-time venture of filling ski, snowboard and splitboard orders for locals and snow enthusiasts worldwide. Despite the demands of the job, both have continued with commu-

that has seen a significant increase in the desire for unique and handcrafted items,” Farquharson said. Limited Edition Series snowboards will be available at Ski Tak Hut in Courtenay and Alternative Groove in Nanaimo by the end of October. Farquharson and Fair are also planning to display examples
of their work at Mudsharks Coffee Bar in November. Kindred’s first anniversary approaches. Follow them on social media for updates, photos and industry news: facebook.com/ kindredsnowboards, or @kindredsnow on Instagram and Twitter. www.kindredsnowboards.com reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com
