Bus fares on the rise

BACK TO SCHOOL

Committee approves 25-cent increase for 2015 Scott Stanfield Record Staff

PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

There were plenty of smiles on the first day of school from Chase, who is entering Grade 4, and her dad Ryan at Queneesh Elementary in Courtenay Monday morning. Monday was the first official day of school following the months-long teachers strike in the province.

Transit users in the Comox Valley could be facing a 25-cent fare increase for rides in the new year, though the price of monthly bus passes would remain the same. Last week, the regional district committee of the whole approved a recommended increase to bump regular fares to $2. Seniors and youth would pay $1.75. Courtenay directors Starr Winchester and Bill Anglin opposed the fare structure option. The last fare increase was July 1, 2011. The CVRD receives 100 per cent of revenue from bus fares, passes, tickets sales and HandyDART. Although yearly revenue has increased by $31,400, ridership is down by 18,000 trips per year. However, transit manager

Michael Zbarsky expects ridership to increase as the CVRD has 650 hours of service improvements in store. The committee approved recommended improvements that include a limited stop express service from Courtenay to Comox. A focus on peak commuter hours is expected to serve a greater number of residents. An amended Route 12 (North Valley Connector) would enable students north of Courtenay to reach North Island College directly rather than transferring downtown. A further amendment to Route 2 (Cumberland) would enable better access through a denser area including the Ulverston Station neighbourhood. The latter is subject to approval from Cumberland council. Route changes are a result of public consultation and direction from the CVRD board. “The main point is to grow ridership,” Cumberland Director Gwyn Sproule said at Tuesday’s COW meeting.

Preliminary plans for new Comox Marina Park revealed to residents Erin Haluschak Record Staff

With hopes of bringing more locals and visitors to the Comox waterfront and connecting them to downtown, residents had an opportunity Wednesday to view preliminary designs for the Marina Park vitalization plan. The open house featured a chance to talk with the designers and consultants, view schematic drawings and a miniature replica of the design and marina. “We’ve had a stakeholder review, and what is important is that the waterfront will improve

business for the community at large,” explained architect Steve Cohlmeyer to Comox council prior to the meeting. “The park is beautiful, but a bit under-used.” Cohlmeyer added he hopes his design will not only make it easier, more accessible and more inviting for the public to get to the park and waterfront, but also to increase the reasons to visit. “We want to make it a place to enjoy and to foster economic growth and increase social wellbeing.” With a Phase 1 cost of $1.6 million, funding would be split 25

per cent by the Town of Comox ($400,000), an application to Island Coastal Economic Trust (for $400,000) and 50 per cent by an application to Western Economic Diversification. Cohlmeyer described in his presentation he envisions developing more of a connection to downtown, by making both the west and east sides of the park more inviting. His vision includes creating transition zones and rest stops, along with making more openings through the downtown buildings towards the park, “and crescendo at the gazebo.”

Volunteers wanted The Volunteer Services department at Saint Joseph’s Hospital is accepting applications for youth volunteers – students between Grades 8 to 12 – to serve one shift per week after school, in acute care, Transitional Care or in The Views residential care. On acute care, four candy stripers visit patients, provide refreshments and help staff by doing routine stocking and tidying. In The Views, teams of four students start by visiting with residents, and then help with activities, games, decorating and other tasks. On TCU, teams of two help seven days a week under the supervision of staff. This is a smaller, more intimate unit of elderly patients, who love the special touch the students bring. All volunteers have supervisors who work closely with them. Application deadline is Sept. 29. See bit.ly/1mCTtdm for more information, or call 250-890-3030.

BC Hydro reducing Puntledge River flow Submitted BC Hydro is reducing the Puntledge River flow from about 12 cubic metres per second (m3/s) to 8.5 m3/s, or by about one quarter, out of concern for the ongoing and unprecedented dry weather. “The last time BC Hydro did this was in October 2006 when dry conditions lasted well into the fall, and matches the lowest river flow in recent history,” said Stephen Watson in a press release. BC Hydro’s water supply year is measured from October to September, and with a few weeks to go and the forecasted dry weather, 2013/2014 will become the driest year in 51 years of BC Hydro record. BC Hydro has been monitoring the forecast and there was some hope for a weather transition this week to some stormy conditions. That system has now shifted north and following that, a highridge pressure is likely to form again. “The Comox Lake Reservoir has been

dropping by about four centimetres per day, and recently, is nearing five centimetres per day,” said Watson. “The current reservoir level is now 131.95 metres and at the previous discharge rate, we would run out of water be early October - the caveat being the natural water flow entering the reservoir would then pass downstream. Right now that’s around 2-3 m3/s versus the 12 m3/s we had been releasing below the dam. By moving to about 8.5 m3/s, it pushes out the length of time we can maintain that river flow to around October 21.” The 24 megawatt Puntledge River generating station has been out of service since June with the dry conditions. Since then, BC Hydro has been managing downstream flows for fish habitat, water supply for the Puntledge River Fish Hatchery, and water that’s extracted from the penstock or river for domestic water use by the Comox Valley Regional District.

In June, with the depletion of the snow pack and low water abundance conditions, BC Hydro determined with a 95 per cent probability that the 12 m3/s release would last through the summer and early fall until the fall rains arrived. “That five per cent chance of not making it has risen its head and BC Hydro must take further action,” said Watson. “On September 15, BC Hydro held a conference call with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. There was agreement on the change in operations given the unprecedented conditions and lack of water. BC Hydro has also been in contact with the regional district. “BC Hydro is very concerned that even with the 8.5 m3/s flow there is still a chance the dry conditions could make things even more severe. Conversely, all we need is one good storm event.” Should conditions change BC Hydro will provide further updates.

Transit: Stamp of approval still needed Continued from Page A1 Area B director Jim Gillis concurs that “ridership is everything.” He suggested considering different revenue streams such as gas taxes to support the local transit system. The committee, however, defeated his motion for staff to research and determine how to financially support the system through alternative means. About 49 per cent of transit revenue comes from cash fares and 51 per cent from monthly passes and tickets, according to a staff report. Compared to similar-sized transit systems on the Island, the Valley has the lowest adult cash fare at $1.75. Adult passes cost $52 in the Valley. Other Tier 2 systems charge an average of $47.80 but the average for Island regional systems is $53.42. The board needs to give its stamp of approval before changes come into effect.

Improvements needed In a subsequent discussion about the Comox Valley Transit Future Plan, Anglin suggested the district is doing something questionable if Campbell River’s transit system is able to generate more revenue and rides. He’d like to see a better return on the investment. “Somehow we’re missing one component,” he said. “We’re trying to do too much with too little, and everyone is paying the costs for that.” He suggests a taxi to Buckley Bay would be more cost-effective than a near-empty bus. Area A director Bruce Jolliffe said it is not

“apples to apples” when comparing transit in the Valley and Campbell River. Zbarsky noted the latter is a “tightly contained system.” The board has directed that annual short-term service priorities be limited to a net share of $270,000. “If we want a subsidized system, then we have to pay for it,” Gillis said, noting 66 per cent of the local transit system is subsidized. But Winchester agreed with Anglin that the district needs to do better. For years, she has expressed concern about transit expenses and empty buses, and questions why smaller vehicles are not used throughout the Valley. “Our taxpayers are paying too much,” Winchester said. The plan, which looks ahead 25 years, suggests a mix of small- and medium-size buses could serve the Valley’s fleet, though smaller vehicles don’t necessarily translate into reduced costs. Phase 1 of the plan considers the core urban area that encompasses Driftwood Mall, downtown Courtenay, North Island College and downtown Comox. Phase 2 looks at Cumberland. The plan will be referred to municipalities before coming back to the CVRD board. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Tour de Rock on the road Terry Farrell

Record Staff

The 2014 Tour de Rock is officially underway, and will arrive in the Comox Valley on Wednesday. The day starts with the Miracle Beach Meet & Greet at 9 a.m., as the team makes its way from Campbell River. Miracle Beach Provincial Park will be open for the general public, families and kids to come meet and greet the tour riders. Once the team leaves Miracle Beach, it will work its way to the Courtenay Boston Pizza, to draw for local Tour de Rock rider Chris Kippel’s training bike. Tickets for the Trek Domane are still available at Boston Pizza.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Tour de Rock team heads to Cumberland for the ever-popular Community Head Shave. Everyone is welcome to come to the Cumberland Community Centre to contribute to the cause. There’s an added twist this year, as traditional “shaver”, Jean Cameron (owner of Cameron’s Salon), will become the “shavee”. She and Cumberland Hotel owner Cresslynn Fay will be among those who leave the hall lockless Wednesday evening, with the “shaving privilege” going to the highest bidder. Once the fun is done at the Community Centre, the team will head over to the Filberg Centre for the Red Sauce, Red Serge Family Pasta Night. This family event consists of

a spaghetti dinner, served by the Tour de Rock team, RCMP members and military officers. The evening will consist of both a live and silent auction, 50/50 draw and a chance to win one return trip for two people, to any scheduled Westjet destination. It is a great way to support to the Tour de Rock team. Tickets are $20 apiece or $150 per table of eight and are available at the Comox Valley RCMP Detachment or by calling Belinda at 250-218-3400. The team will conclude its Courtenay stay on Thursday morning, with the Courtenay Community Head Shave at the downtown Thrifty Foods parking lot, from 7-9 a.m. Join the team for breakfast and leave your hair behind.

Town chief administrative officer Richard Kanigan told council much of the vitalization information and plans will be available through the town’s website, and the package will be submitted for the ICE-T grant by mid-October. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Comox council approves homelessness opinion question, with conditions Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Comox council carried a recommendation Wednesday for a non-binding public opinion question about tax dollars and homelessness to be asked during the upcoming municipal elections, provided the Comox Valley Regional District produce the information, advertising and staffing for the vote. The vote — which will only be conducted if at least two Valley municipalities agree to participate — is intended to gauge the level of public support about annual property tax contributions to help reduce homelessness in the Comox Valley. The recommendation noted the town will advise the CVRD on their intent to conduct the vote, with the caveat the regional district provide material and staff the voting place during the times of all advance election days and general election day. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Homzy and the NightHawks salute New Orleans jazz

has garnered him a Grammy nomination for writing comprehensive notes in the book and co-producing the six-CD set, Passions of a Man: The Complete Atlantic Recordings 1956-1961 performed by Charles Mingus.

Submitted The Georgia Straight Jazz Society is on a roll this fall the season’s opener was a highly successful tribute to Len Wilkie, followed a week later by the instrumental wizardry of the John Lee Trio. This Thursday, Sept. 25, the society is featuring a 10-piece band dedicated to the music of New Orleans and traditional jazz – Andrew Homzy’s N.O.L.A. NightHawks. Ranging from the traditional jazz repertoire to contemporary and popular New Orleans styles, Homzy’s NightHawks present familiar and new material in an exciting and fresh way through creative, interesting arrangements and a unique instrumentation of two trumpets, two trombones, clarinet, baritone sax and a four-piece rhythm section. Popular and contemporary New Orleans pieces such as The Meters’ Cissy Strut and Randy Newman songs are yanked-in to the jazz world, while a piece by Lillian Hardin Armstrong - yes, Louis’ wife - is transformed into an engaging rhumba replete with collective improvisation. Classic jazz pieces associated with Bix Beiderbecke and Hoagy Carmichael sit alongside those of Wynton Marsalis and Thelonious Monk. A Nanaimo citizen since 2009, Homzy was a moving force on the Montreal jazz scene for more than 40 years. The Andrew Homzy Jazz Orchestra was featured many times at the Montréal Jazz Festival and many of their concerts were broadcast over Radio-Canada.

Meet the band

The Georgia Strait Jazz Society presents Andrew Homzy and the NightHawks, Thursday at the Avalanche. PHOTO SUBMITTED In 1999, Homzy was commissioned to direct a special concert/broadcast celebrating Duke Ellington’s 100th birthday. The orchestra assembled for that event comprised musicians from 15 countries.

A visit to her apartment revealed a treasure trove of musical exercises, sketches, themes and fragments of unfinished and unnamed pieces amongst the manuscripts. While sorting through and cataloguing this mountain of material, Homzy stumbled up a complete melody with chord

symbols and a few measures of counterpoint. He made copies and took them to Montreal, where they disappeared until his move to Nanaimo.

Curlers red-hot at BC Seniors Games Sharon Walker

Special to the Record

The Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games had a motto “Everyone Wins” referring to all the participants, volunteers, spectators, sponsors, businesses and local residents who benefited from the staging of this year’s competition. The most significant “win” was the motivation and admiration everyone experienced watching over 3,800 physically active and socially engaged seniors in action making these the best years of their life. The Comox Valley Curling Club had three teams participating at the Games this year with representation in the Women 55+, Men’s 65+ and Mixed 55+. We also had local curler, Don Nickason picked up by the Dawson Creek team due to a family emergency and his team went on to capture the silver medal for the Mixed 65+. The Jonsson team, representing Vancouver Island North in the Women’s 55+, had Kim skipping; Mary Holden, third; Sharon Walker, second and Mickey Colburn, lead. The team finished the round robin with a 4-1 record leading up to the final gold medal round where the Gwen Clark team from Langley was waiting. The Jonsson team had beaten the Clark team last year in Kamloops and the repeat match was gearing up to be a dandy. The curl-

Gold on the track

Submitted

It was a solid gold week for Francisco Machado at this year’s 2014 BC Seniors Games in Langley. The Comox Valley competitor, running in the 65-69 age group, won all three races he entered. He took first in the 200m in 29.65 seconds, fighting 25 km/h winds. Two hours later, those same winds were still blowing but they didn’t stop Machado from winning the 300m hurdles in 56.65 seconds. The 400m saw Machado back on the podium after winning in 67 and 94/100 of a second.

In the medals at the 2014 BC Seniors Games were curlers (from left to right): Back - Reg Tressel, Daryl Wright, Richard Lewis, Jack Holden.

games in the round robin, losing their first game to the Zone 1 Victoria team. The Victoria team was the defending gold medal winners and silver medallists at the recent Canadian Senior games in Sherwood Park, Alberta. The Comox boys then raddled off three straight wins to qualify for the gold medal game. In the

final game, they came up against the Victoria team again and, although it was a close game, the team came up just short of winning it all. The Mixed 55+ team consisted of Brian Baltis, skip; Kathy Meunier, third; Ron Shymko, second and Elaine Starchuk, lead. The Baltis rink finished with a record of 4-0 in the round robin which also put them into the gold medal game. Their opponent, the Blashko rink from Summerland, finished with a similar 4-0 record. The Baltis rink entered the final eighth end, down by 2 points, and things were looking bleak. With three rocks remaining, a perfect freeze was made which led to a tie game forcing an extra end. The two teams traded rocks in the extra end and Baltis drew to the eight foot behind cover with his last rock. Blashko, with his last, drew to the four foot and seized the gold. The Baltis team came home with the silver medal but the final was the most exciting finish to watch. A wonderful time was had at the Games. The entertainment, the food and the hospitality in Langley made it a fun and enjoyable experience. Many volunteers made the Games possible and the Valley teams gratitude goes out to them. The 2015 Games in North Vancouver will sport a new name – “55+ BC Games.” More information on the games can be found at www.bcseniorsgames.org.

Happy’s wins again Submitted This past Sunday, Happy’s Source for Sports Indians/Islanders took on the soaring Investors Group Expos, winners of eight straight games, for the Komox Masters Real Baseball League championship. The game, built up to be an epic struggle, turned into that and more. With crowds lining both sides of the field, with the sun shining high and strong, the boys of baseball battled for 10 innings before deciding a winner. Back and forth the score changed hands – 2-0 Expos, 2-2, 4-2 Indians, 6-4 Expos, 8-7 Indians and 8-8 after 9 complete. In the bottom of the 10th, with two out, an Ostgard

Among the participants at the CVTC’s final tournament of the season were (from left) Dawson Fox, Joane Arsenault, Marjorie Milliken and Chance Devereux.

Tennis players enjoy doubles

The Comox Valley Tennis Club (CVTC) completed its season-end club tournament under bright sunny skies on Sept. 7 in a well-attended mixed doubles event at Comox’s Anderton Park courts. Eighteen teams competed in A and B events. The event was played a week earlier this year in order to accommodate club members entered in the BC Seniors Games in Langley. In the eight-team A division the team of Susan South and Dennis Kostyk came out on top. They were followed by Kim Lessard and Mike Dewynter in second. Marilyn Isler-Churchill and Real Labbe then defeated Annette Mayo and Joe Yelder in the third and fourth playoff. Coming out on top of the two B Division round robin events were Susan Bosveld-Bowyer and Peter Hagberg in B1 and Sheila Precious and Tony Wong winning in B2. A highlight of the season was the very active Junior Program run by Brenda Dean who has done so much to introduce tennis to new players of all ages in the Comox Valley. The CVTC’s evening leagues were particularly well-attended this year as were the popular Friday TGIF tennis and socials. – Comox Valley Tennis Club

double to the wall, then a Caton single down the left field line, and the game was over – Happy’s had their fourth title in five years. A wonderful finish to a very good ball season. Thanks to all the players for their efforts, many of them returning to the game of their youth after 20 or 30 years. Thanks to the umpires for their important contribution to the game and their very thick skin. Thanks to prez Jake Plante and vice-prez Dale Greene for their continuing leadership (and their thick skin). And thanks to Plante and Greene and Kevin Dobbelsteyn for maintaining the field and ensuring it was a wonderful place to play each week. – Komox Masters Real Baseball League

Icemen win 4-2 Earle Couper Record Staff

The Comox Valley Glacier Kings picked up their second win of the young Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season on Saturday, defeating the Peninsula Panthers 4-2 at the Comox Valley Sports Centre. The Yetis led 2-0 after the first period but the visitors’ special teams went to work in the second, scoring shorthanded and on the power play to pull even. The Icemen tallied what would prove to the winner with a powerplay goal of their own when Franco Colapaolo zinged the strings at the 15:450 mark. The G-Kings are in Saanich on Friday then return home Saturday to host Campbell River in a 7:30 p.m. start at Sports Centre #1. sports@comoxvalley record.com

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, September 23, 2014

Riptide boys post solid 5-0 victory The Upper Island Riptide U-15 boy’s soccer team played their second game of the 2014-2015 season Sept. 14 against Juan De Fuca-Sooke in Campbell River. The 2013-2014 Provincial A Cup champions definitely had something to prove, having lost their season-opener to Gorge-Lakehill last week. The Riptide stepped up the intensity for this game and played solidly on offense and defence and taking a 5-0 win. Charlie Purcell, Eugene Park, and Jaylon Grenier scored goals in the first

half while Navarre White and Purcell tallied in the second. Goalies Jared Perras and Gary Thiara held their own between the posts. Riptide’s head coach Bruce Mitchell commented, “I was really impressed with how the boys reacted to last week’s loss. This week we saw more intensity and a greater commitment from each and every boy. Their passing and movement was much sharper and they worked harder as a unit. “That is what I am most proud of. The

boys are always thrilled when they score lots of goals, but for the coaching staff it is more about how they played and not what the final score is.” THROW INS The Riptide play in the Vancouver Island Premier League (VIPL) which consists of high-level teams from Lower Island Soccer Association and Upper Island Soccer Association … the 2014-2015 team includes players from the Comox Valley, Campbell River, Quadra Island and Powell River … – Upper Island Riptide U-15 Boys

MacIvor

January 6, 1920 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 15, 2014 Passed away peacefully September 15, 2014 at The Lodge at Broadmead in Victoria after a brief illness with family at her side. Predeceased by her parents, her husband Harold, her sister Joan, and her son George. She is lovingly remembered by sisters Dorothy of Duncan and Betty May (Marc) of Sidney, daughters Claudia (Stuart) Hartman and Joan (Stephen) Bennett; seven grandchildren Juli Bennett, Susan (Brent) Kennedy, David (Angela) Hartman, Motion (Sarah) MacIvor, Sarah Crawford (Nathan), Elizabeth Foster (Jeremy), Matthew Bennett; eight great-grandchildren Jamie Bennett, Kalia Bennett, Timoteo Kennedy, Natasha Kennedy, Benjamin Hartman, Luke Hartman, Emma Foster and Elsie Hartman. Marjorie was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia. She met Harold in Victoria and they were later married in Red Deer, Alberta where the Army had posted Harold prior to his assignment in England. During Haroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence, Marjorie returned to live in Victoria with her parents where their first daughter, Claudia, was born. When Harold returned at warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, they relocated to Vancouver. The family then moved to Courtenay where George and Joan were born. After designing and building a home in Comox, she and Harold lived there for fifty years. Marjorie was an avid gardener, seamstress, artist, and soprano. Her large and loving family will sorely miss Marjorieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick wit, generous nature, eye for beauty, and very lovable ways. She now rests with her Lord Jesus Christ and the great promise of salvation given through Him. A graveside service was held on Friday, September 19th at the Courtenay Civic Cemetery.

July 1, 1931 ~ September 8, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Johnathan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;? Clifford on September 8, 2014 in Comox, BC. Jack promised to wait for all of his family to arrive, from across BC, for one last celebration. Born July 1, 1931 in Vancouver, BC. He moved to Vancouver Island at an early age. At the age of 14, he had his first job as a faller. He worked with various logging companies taking him up and down the Island and all along BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast throughout his career. During his off time he enjoyed hunting or fishing with his many buddies, taking them across BC and into the Prairies. Jack is survived by his family, a loved one, and his many friends. Predeceased by his mother, Dorothy; sister, Anna; daughter, Sherri, and grandson, Darcy. Celebration of life to be announced at a future date and time. We would like to thank Dr. Reggler, Dr. Blacklock and Susan at Courtenay Medical Associates for their dedication to Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care over the years. As well as to the nurses of 3rd floor at SJGH for their empathetic and caring approach. We would also like to thank the many volunteers, support staff, and doctors at the BC Cancer Agency and VIHA Home and Community Support Services. Live, Love, Laugh (Not necessarily in that order)

Pasetka, Evelyn Blanche 1943-2014 Evelyne passed away peacefully in St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, on September 15, 2014, after a long battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband Thomas, her 11 brothers and sisters and numerous nephews and nieces. Evelyne was a dedicated member of the Catholic Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League in Comox, and a passionate fundraiser for the Cancer Society. She participated in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Head Shavers,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which raised money for palliative care beds, and she also donated her lovely hair for cancer wigs. Evelyne worked as a French Immersion teacher in BC and the Yukon. She also was vice president and operations manager for a flying charter company in the Yukon. Evelyne loved knitting, sewing, camping and fishing. She was an active member of the Courtenay and District Fish and Game Protective Association. She loved to volunteer at the seniors' fishing derby. Eve was vivacious and so full of life, always ready and willing to be of help to others. She was an inspiration and will be so very missed by all of us. Evelyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial service will be held at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Chapel, 19 Wing Comox Air Base at 2 pm on Saturday, September 20, 2014. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Comox Valley Hospice Society are appreciated in lieu of flowers.

Arts program benefits Valley Submitted The Comox Valley and Campbell River are listed among the regions in British Columbia that have benefitted from the national artsVest program. ArtsVest is a matching incentive and sponsorship training program of Business for the Arts, a charitable association of business members who support the arts. The program offers sponsorship training workshops and resources to small and medium-sized arts

Tina Rader, left, and Erin Harrison have developed InBodied Conversations.

Photo Submitted

Get in tune with your body Submitted Two local women are setting out to debunk prominently-held cultural beliefs about health, weight, food and body. Dietitian Erin Harrison and clinical social worker Tina Rader are proposing radically different ideas. Informed by the Health At Every Size movement in the UK and U.S., Harrison and Rader have developed a concept dubbed InBodied Conversations. They offer workshops and retreats, along with individual counselling focused on debunking notions linking health with weight loss, and body image with notions promoting body-hatred. They also challenge diet thinking, and help people advocate for their health with health-care professionals and the public in the face of weightbased discrimination. Harrison and Rader believe it is the right of each person to have body trust. This means being intuitively connected to your body, hearing your hunger and satiety cues, treating your body with compassion and kindness, moving your body in pleasant ways, bringing joy to your heart, being able to hear your heart when it speaks to you, and having the skills to nourish and nurture your heart and body. Harrison and Rader are Health At Every Size-trained facilitators who bring many years of clinical wisdom in the health-care field to workshops and retreats. Their radical and revolutionary ideas liberate participants from the oppression of diet thinking, and food and

weight obsession. They promote a return to an attitude of kindness towards self and joyful body movement. They invite participants to compassionately develop a more attuned relationship

with food, body and self. Well Now workshops will be held in Comox at the Core Fitness Studio Oct. 3-31 from 5-9 p.m. Classes at the Campbell River Community Centre run Nov. 7-28, also from 5-9 p.m.

A Getting To The Heart of IT retreat is planned for January at a venue to-beannounced. For more information and to register for fall courses contact: info@InBodied.ca or 250-218-7113.

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

Resolution, at last

sense of normalcy has returned to B.C. communities this week. Monday morning, albeit three weeks later than expected, parents stood at bus stops, or outside school doors, wiping tears from their eyes as they sent their six-year-olds off to their first day of Grade 1. Police were set up in school zones throughout the province, ticketing drivers who had not adapted to the lower speeds. Most importantly, for the first time since the turning of the calendar month, there were no picketers standing outside local schools, waving at passing motorists. The process has been completed. The job action served its purpose and parents can be confident that their children will be able to attend classes uninterrupted for the next five years. When was the last time a Grade 8 student in this province was assured that he or she would graduate high school without job action being taken by the teachers? That’s the good news. The disappointment is that this strike could have been resolved before it started, by both sides meeting in the middle. Essentially, that’s what the final result was. Of course, union proponents will contest that it is because of the process that the result was achieved. If so, that’s a sad statement on what it takes for the government to bend, “for the good of the children”. The debate will rage on as to who the villains were in this strike, but here in the Comox Valley, there were also some heroes, who stepped up to help out in their own special ways. Retired teacher Slava Simice, as well as Anne Koke, offered free tutorial time to help students. Cumberland Elementary principal Kyle Timms drove to neutral ground with fresh-made sandwiches and fruit, for any students who ordinarily relied upon the school’s free meal program. Scenes like those played out in communities throughout the province during this trying period. To the Slavas and Annes and Kyles of B.C., we thank you. –Comox Valley Record Record Question of the Week

After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most overgoverned region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Burton tragedy could have been averted Dear editor, I am outraged [with ruling in regards to the Molly Burton case]. Why was someone with the cognitive skills of an 11-yearold allowed a licence in the first place? More and more I see the requirements and skills needed to operate a vehicle become less and less and getting a licence is a rubber-stamp joke.

Holding a learner’s permit and failing to stop for police should have been enough to lift his driving privileges long ago. If the police/authorities had done their duty back then, maybe this tragedy could have been averted. Is a tragedy what it takes to get this driver, any driver, off the road? Well, for five years I can feel

safer on the side of the road going to and from work if this menace is off the highway. Police... for the next 60 months keep a sharp eye out for him. He has shown in the past a disregard for rules and that a human life isn’t worth much to him.

BC Ferries continues to review new minor route schedules Dear editor, I am writing to update your readers about the new sailing schedules that were implemented in April of this year. After six weeks of community consultation by BC Ferries this past spring, the schedules originally proposed by the provincial government were refined on all of the affected routes to try to introduce the best timetables that still met the service reductions outlined by the Province. Any change to ferry service takes some time to get used to, however on several routes, including the Powell River – Comox and Powell River – Texada Island routes, issues arose. We saw berth conflicts at Westview and danger-

ous cargo sailing issues on the Texada Island route. Over the summer we’ve been working with the Ferry Advisory Committee (FAC) as well as hearing suggestions from other customers about some schedule refinements to mitigate these issues. We’ve already implemented a change for the dangerous goods sailing for Texada Island and we will implement minor schedule adjustments to the Powell River – Comox route on Oct. 1, 2014 to improve on-time performance for both routes. FACs are comprised of local community representatives who volunteer their time to consult on operational issues relevant to their community. They act as liaisons, relaying information to the

community and providing BC Ferries with constructive advice and insights into the concerns and opinions of local ferry users. We certainly understand the vital role we play in maintaining the quality of life for people who live, work and travel in and around coastal British Columbia. We will continue to work with the FAC this fall to get a sense of community preference about possible schedule tweaks that can be made to meet the needs of the majority of ferry users while still achieving the net savings set out by the provincial government.

Whatever happened to B.C.’s promised prosperity? Dear editor, Let’s have another look at B.C. taxes and the state of the provincial treasury. When Premier Clark came to office she kept talking about how LNG was going to make B.C. rich. There was going to be the “establishment of a new British Columbia Prosperity Fund”. So MLA Don McRae, how is it going? The Prosperity Fund, that is. You see, based on Premier Clark’s pronouncements of $100 billion over 30 years (or was it $1 trillion and 100,000 jobs... and that was assets coming in, not going out), we’re a tad behind. To meet Premier Clark’s pronouncements, by my calculations, the Province needs to be taking in approximately $270 million a month from gas produc-

ers. I just can’t see where that is happening. What did happen was Premier Clark, yourself, and the rest of Cabinet, decided to give gas producers another $116 million in subsidies. I’m a tad confused about all of this and just a whole lot of unhappy because my medical premiums, electrical rates, and ICBC costs are all going up. There is also the rising cost of coffee, milk, meat, cars, kids clothes, etc. It’d be real nice if the B.C. Liberals could explain to us why we’re paying out more and gas producers are paying out less. While you’re at it could you explain why gas producers are receiving a $116 million subsidy and women and children living on disability pensions, can

not keep one nickel of child support, while living at 50 per cent below the poverty line. All I see is not much money coming in from gas producers, gas producers receiving yet more subsidies, and the Liberal government mining for “gold” in the pockets of children living at 50 per cent below the poverty line. By the end of October, charities in the Comox Valley will begin soliciting for space, money, presents, etc. for “those less fortunate”, so they too might enjoy Christmas. Right now it seems only the gas producers are going to have a really, really nice Christmas. E. A. Foster Comox

Why wear a bicycle helmet?

Dear editor, Do you automatically put your seat belt on in a motorized vehicle? Do you brush your teeth before going to bed? How about clean underwear? These are all easy-to-master safety, health and hygiene habits. So, what about the bicycle helmet? Firstly it is mandatory (BC Motor Vehicle Act, Section 184). What about significantly reducing the risk of head and severe brain injury, or even a mild concussion? Numerous conclusive studies exist. So, this letter is to all you people I saw last week: groups of parents who put helmets on your kids but not yourself while on a family bike ride; the couple of adults with a dog in the basket on Howard Road; a tennis player; etc. So, please ask yourself, why wear a helmet? Answers may include: being law abiding, setting a good example for others, being safe, and acquiring an easy-to-master habit. Georgina Price Black Creek

Filberg Apple Press Party Saturday Submitted Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park (FHLPA) is hosting its annual Apple Press Party on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Each year the Filberg Lodge partners with LUSH Valley’s fruit tree project volunteers to pick all the heritage fruit trees throughout the nine-acre park. Got apples? This year we are asking for fruit donations from the community to supplement our pick. Last year the community was very supportive, donating over 100 pounds of apples and pears. With all the apples and hard pears we make pasteurized fruit juice which we then sell as a major fundraiser for the Filberg Lodge. By picking, donating, and delivering your fruit bounty to the Filberg Park this week, you will be entered to win two four-day passes to the 2015 Filberg Festival. The Filberg Apple Press Party festivities start at 11 a.m. outside the Filberg Lodge and will go until all the fruit has been pressed. Watch the Pressing Matter state-of-the-art mobile presser in action. In addition to the press we will have an everything-apple bake sale in the Tea House and in the lodge a display of local apples that have
