Up close and personal with the Courtenay candidates Scott Stanfield Record Staff
The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce and Creative Employment Access Society hosted a ‘speed campaigning’ event that provided participants with a close-up look at the candidates vying for a seat on Courtenay council in Saturday’s election. Wednesday at the Westerly, small groups had seven minutes to converse with candidates, who rotated from table to table at the sound of a bell. “I thought the format was excellent,” said Mayor Larry Jangula, who credits the hosts for offering an event that was “uniquely different” from the usual all-candidate forums. “There were almost no two tables that were alike as far as questions. It was a good experience for those running. And for the electorate, they had a firsthand opportunity to sit down face-to-face and see how the candidates handle questions, see how they think, see how they respond.” To gain a better understanding

Courtenay mayoral candidate Jon Ambler discusses the issues with a table of voters. Courtenay mayoral and council candidates engaged in a ‘speed campaigning’ event with voters Wednesday at the Westerly. The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce and CEAS hosted the event. of each person, Bill Jackson made notes during a preamble where candidates said a few words before the group sessions.
“I can certainly see the people who have good intentions, versus the people who have some concrete ideas, which we need,”
Jackson said. He put candidates to the test with questions about downtown revitalization, handling pressure
from special interest groups, and the difference between commercial and residential taxes. “I have a lot of respect for anybody running here for council,” Jackson said. “It’s quite a challenge. You have to be knowledgeable on so many topics.” “I enjoyed the format,” said Helen Boyd, who attended as a member of the Comox Valley Network Association of Registered Nurses of B.C. (comoxvalleycares. com). “I thought it was really personal to be able to talk to the politicians individually, and to have our issue of homelessness addressed with each and every one of them.” The association wants people to vote yes in a non-binding referendum question regarding a homelessness tax that will appear in a separate ballot Nov. 15. They fear a no vote would send the wrong message to politicians, indicating a lack of interest in the homelessness issue. Each politician Boyd quizzed said they would vote yes to this question.

Four-term councillor Fletcher will watch election from the sidelines Erin Haluschak Record Staff
For the first time in 12 years, Patti Fletcher won’t have quite as many butterflies in her stomach on election night as in the past. The long-serving Comox councillor will be carefully watching the results come in — but this time as a citizen, and not as a candidate. “It’s time to let go and explore life after council. I’m absolutely in the right place and so far, I feel good about it,” Fletcher explained. Reflecting on her tenure at the
After 12 years serving the Town of Comox, Patti Fletcher attended her final council meeting Nov. 5 council table, the former program director for the Comox Recreation Commission said she was inspired in her early-20s by two female aldermen — Alice Bullen and Clare Ensom — whose work she admired. “I thought about it quite a bit, thinking maybe I can do that some day. The two women showed
me that I could be (at the council table).” When she first made the decision to run, Fletcher admitted she was naïve about the process and the role, but decided she had nothing to lose. Working at the rec centre, she gained knowledge about the town and staff roles, and campaigned on making
Comox a better place to work and live. “I lived and worked in town, and I really cared and had an interest in it. I remember my first rack card slogan was ‘I care about Comox’,” she noted, and added it was important to her to run while she was working and running a business. “It was important that I did not wait until I was retired to be on council … I had this impression that everyone on council was retired and thus not giving a complete perspective on the town.”

Santa’s Workshop preparing for another busy season Submitted by an elf You may have noticed the sign “SANTA’S WORKSHOP” which appears each November and December somewhere in Courtenay. This year Santa’s Workshop will be at 331 4th Street. Do you know who runs it and what they do there? Although it dates back more than 42 years Santa’s Workshop became a registered charity in 1994 organized and run by Comox Valley volunteers. There are no paid employees or managers. It is operated by a volunteer unpaid board and all the board members are also very busy workers dur-
ing the two months the group is active. Last year, Santa’s Workshop had 98 volunteers working anywhere from a half day a week to full time (six hours a day, five days a week) to wash, clean, repair and organize Christmas toys for Comox Valley children of families in need. In 2013, 308 parents came through the warehouse to select a variety of new and used toys, games, books, bicycles and activity materials for 682 children. As well, 202 completely refurbished bicycles were given out to children. A large part of the warehouse is taken up by the bike repair shop. Each bike is stripped
down and cleaned thoroughly. All parts are checked and repaired or replaced, greased and oiled. Any bikes not suitable for gifts are used for spare parts. Because of having a supply of parts the cost to refurbish a bike is about five dollars, but it takes a lot of time.
How does it work? Parents phone and make an appointment to come in and view what is in the warehouse. Appointments are scheduled throughout the first three weeks of December and shopping is done in a private, individual setting. The shoppers follow a circular route accompanied by an “elf” and a shopping cart. All the gifts are arranged on tables and shelving according to sex and age. The age groups are 0-2, 3-5. 6-8, 9-10, 11-13, 14-16. Each parent can choose a used package and a “new” package, plus a bicycle, if needed.
Already at work Volunteers began working last week. All the used toys are put into as close to new condition as possible. In November large boxes are covered with Christmas wrap and distributed to stores around the valley to receive donations. In December parents begin coming in. Santa’s Workshop has survived

Stuffed toys and dolls are always popular items for all these years entirely on local donations. This includes the volunteer hours to make it all happen, money to rent space, and new toys as required. Large number of individuals, families and groups donate a variety of new and used toys. Everything is gratefully received. It is critical to receive donations as early as possible. Many people don’t think about Christmas until they flip to the calendar page. By then Santa’s has been running for a month and parents are booked and ready to see what is in the store for them. Some of the volunteers have been doing this for 27 years, many have 10 or more years in. The rewards are intangible but they are very,

very real. The volunteers don’t usually meet the people they help but on a rainy November day there is nothing better than spending several hours working hard to make someone else’s Christmas a little more enjoyable. At the end of the day you go home tired but you feel really good inside and that’s why Santa’s Workshop exists today and has gone on for so many years.

Perseverance Day raises $146K for Cumberland Community Forest Society Submitted The Cumberland Community Forest Society has just formally announced fundraising results for their Oct. 26 Perseverance Day for the Forest. The grand total for the day is $146,547! “This is an incredible result for a one-day fundraising effort,” says Andrew Nicoll, chair of the Cumberland Community Forest Society. “It wouldn’t have been possible without an unbelievable level of grassroots support from people across the Comox Valley and beyond. There are so
many people who deserve our thanks including silent auctions donors, ticket buyers, runners, run organizers, circus fairies, cash donors, chili cookers, beer slingers, photographers and volunteers! Each and every one of you shares the credit for this success!” “This final number includes the Perseverance Raffle, the Perseverance Party for the Forest, the Perseverance Trail Run and

Pledges and an online fundraising campaign through canadahelps. org,” said Cumberland Forest campaign co-ordinator Meaghan Cursons. “These funds (73,273.50) were then matched by our secret Forest Fairy to get to this remarkable total.” The Cumberland Forest is a lush second growth forest that cradles the southern edge of the Village of Cumberland. The Cumberland Forest forms
part of two distinct watersheds and is filled with diverse flora and fauna, hiking and mountain biking trails, salmon bearing creeks, wetlands and important heritage landmarks. The Forest also provides a stunning south facing view-scape for the Village and is a beautiful backdrop to a community that defines itself economically, socially and environmentally by its proximity to the woods. A vibrant network of naturalists, herbalists, hikers, mountain bikers, families, kids, artists, photographers, conservationists, runners and many others consider
the Cumberland Forest to be an integral part of the community. The Cumberland Forest is privately owned as part of the legacy of the E&N Land Transfer in the late 1800s that saw over 2 million acres of land along the eastern side of Vancouver Island transfer into private hands in exchange for building a railway. These unprotected Cumberland Forest lands are slated to be logged as early as 2016.

39th Annual CVCDA Telethon another success Terry Farrell
Record Staff
The final tote board tally read $85,009 at the conclusion of Sunday’s Comox Valley Chid Development Association Telethon. As it turns out, that was a little conservative. “It will probably go up about $500 from that,” said CVCDA executive director Joanne Schroeder. “The raffle had a few hundred extra dollars in it once all the envelopes were opened, so I’d say we are looking at about $85,500.” That equates to a 10 per cent increase over the 2013 total. “That’s very encouraging – it’s amazing,” said Schroeder. “There are a lot of worthy causes out there, that’s for sure. And this is a pretty small population that we have here to contribute.” Schroeder said the Telethon continues to be a success due in large part to the support of the various service clubs in the Comox Valley. “One of the things that really makes a difference for us, and I happily acknowledge, is the contributions from the service clubs - the Lions, the Rotary, Kiwanis, all of those groups have been long-time supporters of the Child Development Association and that’s a big part of it.” Now Schroeder and the CDA staff have some decisions to make - primarily, where does the money go? The CDA opened its sensory room this summer, and there are still
COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, November 11, 2014
some equipment issues to address. “There are a couple of things in the sensory room that we want to add,” said Schroeder. “The one sense that we do not have any particular equipment for at this time is smell. There is some neat equipment that we can get that (addresses) scents.” “Other than that, all of the program managers do up a bit of a wish list, in regards to top priorities for their programs, so we will go from there.” As for the Telethon itself, Schroeder said it was all about the volunteers. “The number of people that are involved, it’s well into the hundreds,” said Schroeder. “It’s quite the collective effort and I certainly can not say enough about them, and about people like Pam Crowe, who has co-ordinated the Telethon for more years than she would ever want to tell you, and Edwin Grieve, who has been the production manager as well, for many, many years. And, of course, the Shaw folks.” It made it all pretty easy for Schroeder to step in – this being her first year as the executive director of the CVCDA. “Really, I just had to do what I was told, because everybody knew what was going on,” she said. “It’s a pretty well-oiled machine.” Well-oiled, and 39 years later, still an overwhelming success. “Incredible,” said Schroeder. “Thank you to everyone.”

Forum: Maple Pool owner tired of rhetoric Continued from page A1 Not surprisingly, Jangula fielded some big questions Wednesday — which he answered to the best of his ability. “There’s some things I just can’t answer,” he said, noting the burning question concerned Maple Pool and how the dispute has reached this point. “That’s a real hard question to answer. It’s just not something you can answer with one line.” The issue dates back to 2011 when the city initiated legal action against Dali and Jin Lin, seeking to shut down the campground. At issue is zoning, which does not allow the couple to house people on
the property, which sits in a floodplain. Advocates fear most tenants would become homeless if evicted. Dali Lin — who attended Wednesday — notes some candidates said to stop the legal action. But he is tired of hearing “non-answers” about the issue being “complicated” or in need of a mediator. “Some candidates say we want to find a solution.” Which Lin equates to writing a blank cheque. “What does it really mean? ‘Want a solution’ — been saying that for four years. To say, ‘Find a solution,’ it doesn’t mean anything.” reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Fletcher: Briefly considered running for mayor of Comox Continued from A1 Once elected, Fletcher befriended the late Councillor Ray Crossley, although she chuckled in the way in which they got to know each other. “Just before the swearing-in ceremony, Ray fell and broke his leg on the way to get his haircut. I took a copy of the first agenda, and went to his house and we just started talking,” she said, and added Crossley took her under his wing. One of the first proposals Fletcher recalls looking at was the Comox Mall expansion, and remembers expressing concern about growth and town boundary expansion. “I remember saying that I thought we needed some sort of growth plan. I didn’t even know there was a regional growth strategy,” she admitted. Following some time as the only female at the council table, Fletcher considered a run for the mayor’s seat. “I had a really long chat with myself and thinking about what my values are, and if it was the most important priority in my life, and it wasn’t. And honestly, at the time, I didn’t know if I could do it.” Entering what would become her final term, Fletcher said she had a long talk with current Mayor Paul Ives, and admitted she had a feeling at the begin-
ning of 2014 that it would be her last time on printing and collating agendas, year at council. along with the ease of use to find infor“I made myself keep (the option open) mation and past agendas online.

renaissance of music and art. After the area known as the Rotary Bowl was created by the Rotary Club to accommodate the RCMP’s famous Musical Ride, the fair moved into that field. The flat field that was left provided a perfect place for a main stage. This area had been a wetland, which had been drained allowing for that crucial place for the irrepressible dancers to enjoy themselves to the fullest. The DVD was compiled and edited by Bunky Hall who was the first electrician to connect a music stage and five coffee urns all demanding maximum power at the same time on the CVEX grounds. The Regional District has upgraded the Fairground’s water and electrical service continually since those times as it now hosts the Vancouver Island Music Festival. The photos were donated by fairgoers and staff who had saved them as personal reminders of the many years the fair took place. Thanks go to all those who shared their memories, both photos and personal memoirs. Copies of the DVD can
be purchased for $10 each at the Comox Valley Art Gallery, 580 Duncan Ave, Courtenay. For more information please email bunkyh@hotmail.com.

From the spark of an idea and a desire for the Comox Valley Arts and Cultural History to be properly recorded and not lost, has come a fascinating window into the past. A DVD chronicling the history of the (in) famous Courtenay Renaissance Fair has been produced and donated to both the Courtenay Regional Library and the Courtenay and District Museum and Paleontology Centre by a group of former organizers and participants. For two years the group contacted as many former fairgoers as possible by email, Facebook, telephone and word of mouth to share and collect photos and stories. The cover of the DVD proudly boasts that it contains “more than a thousand photos, videos, newspaper clippings and personal stories from Courtenay’s ‘Hippie Festival’.” The Renaissance Fair was among the first of the arts and music fairs that are now a standard part of summertime entertainment and was the
first organization to use the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds (CVEX) for an event other than one featuring the agricultural or equestrian communities. It had humble beginnings; the first one was in 1974 being a small arts and craft fair with a single guitarist held around the fountain at the Bickle Theatre, (now Sid Williams) and the next three took place in Lewis Park. In 1978 the Renaissance Fair moved to the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds, (the Fairgrounds) and grew to attract an audience of over 12,000 people by its final curtain call in 1984. The rules were simple; all crafts people had to come from the Comox Valley or Denman and Hornby Islands. They represented an amazing range of high quality crafts much the same as we see today, including for one year, a blacksmith’s shop. The fair was true to its “renaissance” name as it introduced new leading-edge music and new musical talent along with incredible arts and crafts. It represented a true

Valley View puts new twist on Halloween festivities Submitted
Valley View Elementary School chose to celebrate Halloween in a different manner this year. New this year, Valley View school decided to scare away hunger by making a non-perishable food donation during Halloween week, to be delivered to the Comox Valley Food Bank. School staff liked the opportunity to model giving amongst all the receiving that Halloween draws. Students felt proud of the size of their donation and school staff estimate it to be over 200 pounds of dried/canned food. Of course, there were still the traditional Halloween celebrations, as well. A yearly tradition is to partake in the Great Pumpkin Run that weaves fun and fitness into the fall season. Following an age-appropriate run through our field/ neighbourhood, one lucky student wins the Great Pumpkin in a draw from all student names. This year’s winner, Alex, was thrilled with his “great pumpkin” “It is great!,” said the Grade 4 student. “I never thought I would get it. Me and my sister carved it with big eyes and a jagged mouth. We roasted the seeds, too.” His face showed how thrilled he was to be our winner. Some lucky winners walked away with pumpkin prizes donated by Shamrock Farms, and the luckiest winner was the Comox Valley Food Bank.

Non-stop flights to Puerto Vallarta now taking off from YQQ Submitted The Comox Valley Airport is pleased to offer non-stop service to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for another winter season. The first Mexico-bound passengers departed from YQQ on Saturday, Nov. 1 onboard WestJet. Flights will continue each Saturday until May 2, 2015. “Last year more than 5,400 guests took advantage of this non-stop service to Mexico,” said Comox Valley Airport CEO, Fred Bigelow. “This is the per-
fect option for residents who are seeking a quick getaway to somewhere sunny without any travel hassles. In just under five hours after taking off at YQQ, you could be taxiing into the gate at Puerto Vallarta and ready to hit the beach.” To reach the same destination on the same day, starting from Vancouver International Airport (YVR), would add an additional five hours of travel time, plus an overnight stay in a hotel due to ferry schedules. The Comox Valley Airport has been working
hard through its latest advertising campaign to remind North Island residents to do the math before booking a trip from another airport this winter. “It is easy to get enticed by a lower air fare on the mainland,” explained Bigelow. “But before you book that ticket, do the math and make sure you are taking into account the real cost of your trip including: gas, ferry, hotel and your time.” Bigelow is also reminding North Island residents of another important reason to use YQQ this
Kidney Foundation presentation hopes to engage First Nations people regarding organ donor program Submitted Right now, there are more than 19,000 aboriginal people in British Columbia with chronic kidney disease, and well over 100 in need of a kidney transplant. Many will die waiting. “Every community in B.C. shares a similar story of needing more kidneys than there are available for transplant,” said Karen Philp, executive director, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. Branch. “The research shows 95 per cent of British Columbians support the idea of donating a kidney to someone in need, but only 19 per cent are actually registered on B.C.’s organ donor registry. We want to change this story and invite the public to join the conversation.” Philp said that when it comes to B.C.’s
aboriginal population, the percentage (of registered donors) is even lower. “We want to find out what some of the barriers are, when it comes to kidney donation in those communities,” she said. The Courtenay Community Conversation will be held on Thursday Nov. 13 at 2 p.m., at the K’omoks Band Hall on Comox Road. Members of the public are invited to share their thoughts and experiences, as well as hear from special guest speakers and health care experts about the impact of kidney disease in the community. Liz Hanuse and her son Victor, who received a kidney transplant from his mom in 2009, are the hosts of the Community Conversation in Courtenay. “My son would not be here today if he didn’t have both his kidneys taken out and
mine put in,” said Liz. “By deciding to donate his kidneys for research my son was able to help the kidney disease research cause. My hope for the future is that all Nations see that each of us can make the difference in someone else’s life. Giving the gift of life and knowing that someone will have another chance is so important. I believe in paying it forward.” Throughout the province, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. Branch, is hosting 12 Community Conversations, including this one in Courtenay, to ask people to help identify the barriers that stop people from registering as organ donors as well as the solutions to increase the number of people receiving a kidney transplant in their community. The Kidney Foundation is committed to increasing kidney

Fiddy and Sinclair staging a fundraising gig in Fanny Bay Submitted On Nov. 22 at 7 p.m., come on out to a wonderful evening of music, stories and humour to a special fundraising concert to support the Fanny Bay Community Hall Association. Kent Fiddy and David Sinclair are Juno, B.C. Country Music and Vancouver Island Music Award nominees. They are artists who weave the past and contemporary into a unique tapestry. Their material is pure British Columbia and Canadiana roots music at its very best in the way the songs celebrate stories, events and people from sea to sea. These are authentic and unforgettable songs which come out of their experiences working, touring and love for their country. Forever, My B.C., (co-written with Gary Fjellgaard) is named as one of Canada’s 50 top folk songs of all time. Sarah McLachlan, who David
toured with for 10 years, described him as a “gifted and beautiful guitar player.” “Absolutely incredible music and storytelling” (North Island Concert Society) and the Orkney Islands Music Festival in Scotland described their performances as “evocative, with haunting melodies and stellar harmonies.” Fiddy and Sinclair have performed together at festivals across Canada, from venues across the Maritimes, to the Filberg Festival in Comox, the Islands Folk Festival (Duncan), Port Hardy’s North Island Concert Society, and the world renowned Buchart Gardens Summer Concert Series in Victoria. They were special guest artists in Scotland at the Orkney Islands International Folk Festival. Fiddy has been signed as a writer to some of the biggest names in music publishing including Warner-Chappell Music (Warner Brothers) and Almo-Irving Music
Japan during the Lillith Fair period. As a studio guitarist, Sinclair has worked with a who’s who of Canadian artists including lang, McLachlan, Michael Bublé, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Rita MacNeil, Valdy, Susan Jacks, Terry Jacks, Prism, the Irish Rovers and Gary Fjellgaard. This is an “all-ages” concert. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and $5 for children. Tickets are available at the door, Laughing Oyster Bookstore, Fanny Bay Service, Weinburg’s in Buckley Bay and the Salish Sea Market in Bowser.

CVAG: 40 years of art in the Valley Submitted This year the Comox Valley Art Gallery’s annual Christmas Craft Fair is also a chance to celebrate the gallery’s 40-year birthday. The fair, which runs from Nov. 14 to Dec. 27, will include a special 40-year birthday celebration on the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 21. CVAG, initially named the Central Island Arts Alliance, was formed in 1974. That same year the first Christmas Craft Fair took place, and it has been an institution in the Comox Valley ever since. “The craft fair has become a very important part of our community,” says Rhonda Burden, CVAG’s gift shop manager. “The fair provides people in the Comox Valley with the opportunity to buy locally-made gifts at a reasonable price. Of equal importance, the fair supports dozens of artists throughout our region.” The craft fair will be open from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5

Glacier Kings grab second place in North Earle Couper Record Staff
Let the game begin: Owen Shears (right) won this face-off in recent North Island Rage lacrosse action.
Lacrosse all the rage on Island Lacrosse continues to grow in the Mid and North Island. According to recent accounts one school in Nanaimo is adding the game to its list of school sports and Carihi in Campbell River is said to be looking at doing the same. This follows the lead of Claremont school in Saanich which has a full development program for field lacrosse involving daily practice. This is one of the four sports on offer as part of the Claremont Sports Institute Program. Students who are accepted and enrolled in the Claremont Sports Institute program in all grades focus on skill development within their sport. Students in their respective grade levels earn credit for PE9, PE10, PE11, PE12, Science of Sport and Training 9 &10, Strength and Conditioning 11 and 12. Work ethic and personal commitment and responsibility are of the utmost importance for this program. The program has paid off big time
on Oct. 13, Whitewater (Nelson, B.C.) in the Sweet 16 on Oct. 27 and Red Mountain (Rossland) in the Elite Eight on Nov. 3-4 to claim the Great White North division title in the Backscratcher Conference. Aspen began their march to the final by defeating Sun Valley (Idaho) then took out other big names Steamboat (Colorado) and Sugarloaf (Maine) to win the Spread Eagle Conference.
for students combining their love for the game with the requirement to keep their grades up. Last season both junior teams made the BC High School Provincial Tournament semis, as did the Grade 11 squad. The Grade 12 team was the class of the province-wide tourney, winning the final 11-6 and taking their fifth banner in last eight years. Strong proof of a successful program worthy of duplication in our neck of the woods. Last weekend the U16 North Island Rage fought hard to eke out a 7-7 tie at Nanaimo Turf, playing with a less-than-full roster. They managed the draw with 11 players and one substitute. What’s more, four of the players were parachuted in from the Rage U14s. While Rage battled in Nanaimo, the U14s with a depleted roster, dropped both games to PacRim2 in a doubleheader at the Highland field in Comox. Ten minutes worth of penalties played a large part in the 7-5 and
6-4 losses. On the bright side two goals each by Owen Shears, Kaleb Vivier and Colby Black kept the first contest close. Angus Atkinson found the back of the net for the single from just outside the crease. In the second game Kaleb, Owen, Levi Smith Landsell and Carson Foy each sunk one into the twine. Full marks to the coaches for keeping the those tired legs in the game! The Big Orange U14 will need a full compliment of shooters next weekend in Richmond. On Saturday they contest Kelowna, Sunday they meet Mission and Monday they battle the Coquitlam Adanacs. If they find a way to cut those penalty minutes they’ve every hope of making it to the finals on Tuesday. QUICK FLICKS The Vancouver Island select team, Seaspray, with four North Island members came back from a weekend in Seattle with 18-0 and 10-2 victories … – North Island Rage
A pair of wins over the Oceanside Generals has vaulted the Comox Valley Glacier Kings into second place in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League North Division. In a home-and-away with the North Division cellar dwellers, the Yetis won 7-4 Nov. 7 in Courtenay and 5-4 Nov. 8 in Parksville. The victories improved the Glacier Kings’ record to 11-6-1-3 and has them one point up on third place Nanaimo Buccaneers (12-7-0-1) and five points back of first place Campbell River Storm (15-12-1-0). On Nov. 8 at Oceanside Place, the Icemen built a 5-1 lead through two periods then hung on for the 5-4 win as the Generals scored three goals on nine shots in the final frame. Final shots on goal were 39-25 Comox Valley, with Riley Mathieson picking up the win. The G-Kings went 3-for-11 on the power play.. First star Derian Hamilton (2g, 1a) and second start Sheldon Brett (3a) led the way offensively for the Yetis. Ty Madden, Jordan Crisp and Grant Iles also tallied for the visitors. On Nov. 7 at the Comox Valley Sports Centre, the Generals jumped off the team bus and into a 3-1 first period lead, only to have the Glacier Kings outscore them 4-1 in a penalty-filled second period to grab a 5-4 lead en route to the 7-4 win. Hamilton (2g, 2a) continued his hot scoring touch and earned second star honours while first star Dylan Sampson (2g, 1a) and third star Iles (1g, 1a) also made big contributions. Zachary Straza picked up the win as Comox Valley enjoyed a 39-31 SOG advantage and went 2-for-7 with the man advantage. The Glacier Kings return to action Friday when they travel to Saanich to take on the Braves. The Yetis are home Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. start (Sports Centre #1) against South Division leading Victoria Cougars. ICE CHIPS Hamilton’s hot hand has moved him into a tie for the VIJHL scoring lead with 29 points (7g, 22a), the same as Westshore Wolves’ Kyle Richter (14g, 15a) … Shaw is tied for fifth with 25 points (10g, 15a) … VIJHL standings and Glacier Kings’ top 10 scorers in Scoreboard, page 30 ... sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Riptide U15s settle for draw
Nicholas Mitchell of the Riptide unleashes a shot in game against Juan de Fuca/Sooke.
Locals tie 2-2
Great goaltending highlighted a 2-2 tie between the Breakers and Whalers when the local women’s hockey teams met Nov. 1. The Breakers’ Val Wright helped set up the only goal in the first period by Sarah Kendall. The three remaining goals were scored in the second period. A solo effort by Kendall for the Breakers, a Lynn Slaby assisted goal by Lindsay Cisk as well as a tally by Kelly Godard assisted by Cindy Morrison, both for the Whalers. Good goaltending by Taylor Ruell (Whalers) and Megan Canning (Breakers) kept it 2-2. – Comox Valley Breakers
The Riptide U15 Boys soccer team went in to Sunday’s Vancouver Island Premier League game against Juan de Fuca/Sooke (JDF) feeling quite confident that they could come home with a win. Why not? The team has had a great start to the 2014-2015 season and they beat JDF 5-0 when the teams met in September. Unfortunately this past weekend, though not due to lack of effort, the Riptide boys could not get the ball to cross the JDF goal line. Riptide head coach Bruce Mitchell said his team, “Played a great game that was very entertaining to watch. There were long sequences when
we played great possession soccer. We attacked from the wings and down the centre. We had lots of corner kicks and we had a couple of great opportunities with free kicks.” Riptide assistant coach Troy Perras added, “The boys played really well defensively against a motivated opponent. “We did everything but score. Sometimes stuff like this happens and the best thing we can do is to forget about it. “The most important thing is how we played as a team. We executed the game plan and consistently dominated play – that’s what we should take away from this game.”
The Riptides now have a record of five wins, two losses, and one tie, giving them a total of 16 points,

VISAS sports festival set to go This winter the Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) 2015 Learn to Ski/ Snowboard Winter Sports Festival runs from Sunday, Jan. 4 to Thursday, Jan. 8 at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. “Anyone with a disability is welcome to apply,” said Rose Kerr, chair of the 2015 Learn to Ski Festival. “It’s a great opportunity to get involved and receive four consecutive days of ski/ boarding instruction from our nationally certified instructors. VISAS provides free instruction, lift passes, equipment, two banquets, daily transportation from Courtenay to the mountain and a
great time!.” The popular winter snowsports festival is limited to 35 students and is open to anyone over the age of six who has some ability to learn, with priority given to first time participants. “We have had people from as far away as Great Britain who have participated in the festival,” added Kerr. In its 23rd year, VISAS’s volunteer instructors are getting ready for another exciting year on the mountain. Over 80 VISAS ski and snowboarding instructors volunteer their time seven days a week to provide those with a physical, cognitive or developmental dis-
ability a chance to learn to downhill ski, snowboard or cross country ski, and at very little cost. It’s never too early to also start thinking about VISAS’s major fundraiser for the season, the Herb Bradley Pepsi Challenge (HBPC). Proceeds from the HBPC allow VISAS to continue to hold programs like the Winter Snowsports Festival. Sponsor a team and enter this “fun” ski/snowboard event at Mount Washington on Sunday, Feb. 15.
For more details on the HBPC, the 2015 four-day Winter Snowsports Festival, and to download an application, visit: www.visasweb.ca. Applications for the snowsports festival must be received by Dec. 5, 2014 to be eligible. For additional information on the festival contact Rose Kerr at 250-339-7035 or email: rosekerr@ telus.net.

(formerly Barrs, nee Madill), Donna July 11, 1938 -October 8, 2014 Always in Our Thoughts, Forever in our Hearts It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife and mother, Donna. She passed away in St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, hours after having been transferred back from nine days of treatment in Victoria General Hospital following five weeks of complications due to a stroke on September 5, 2014. Donna was born in Calgary, Alberta moving to Penticton, BC as a toddler. She married and raised her three children first in Vancouver then the Comox Valley, where she has resided since 1967. In her younger days, she actively enjoyed excursions on the family boat, fishing, golfing, bowling and curling; winning many sports awards along the way. In later years, she re-married, enjoyed gardening, travelling, spending time with family, and devoted much of her time and energy to her Christian faith, Bible studies, and sharing and ministering to those in need. Donna had a kind, loving and generous heart, caring so much for others before herself. She also spent several sad and difficult years caring on and off for her youngest daughter, Candace Barrs, who pre-deceased her in 2010.
In loving memory
Donna will be very deeply missed and forever loved by those she leaves behind including her husband, Ronald Halls of Courtenay; her surviving children, son Rick Barrs of Courtenay and daughter Debra Barrs, UK; grandson Lance (Jinny) Barrs, Vancouver, BC; granddaughter Amber (James) Mallach, Victoria, BC; brother Mervyn (Juanita) Madill, Kamloops, BC, mother-in-law Lydia Halls, Courtenay, BC; step-grandson Paul Holland, Calgary, AB; brother Cliff (Sherry) Halls, Williams Lake, BC, and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her daughter Candace. Donna is predeceased by her parents, George and Freda Madill; brother and sister-in-law Raymond and Angela Madill; brother Vernon Madill; and step-daughters Shirley Anne and Brenda. A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, November 22, 2014 at 1:30pm at Aaron House Christian Fellowship, 2946 Kilpatrick Avenue, Courtenay, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to Aaron House, the Cancer Foundation, the National Stroke Association or charity of choice would be appreciated.

PRYSTASH, MARY
JULY 11, 1922NOVEMBER 2, 2014 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Prystash (nee Ferbey) on November 2nd at St. Joseph's extended care unit. Mary was born on July 11, 1922 in Mundare, Alberta. She attended school there and helped work around the house supporting the family. Later she moved to Winnipeg to be with her future husband, Willem Prystash. Willem, as a member of the Canadian Armed forces, became stationed in Nanaimo for a period of time. The west coast was very much to their liking and in 1960 they moved to Victoria to take up jobs at the Dockyard. They spent many happy years in Victoria, going out, travelling, and visiting their daughter and grandchildren. In 2007 they moved to Comox to be closer to their daughter Faye Wouterlood and grandchildren Rod Vajai, Lisa Bognar, Chris Wouterlood and Melissa Wouterlood and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even four great-great-grandchildren. A very amazing statistic in Mary's life is that before her passing, she became the matriarch to 5 generations. Mary is survived by her daughter Faye (Frank) Wouterlood and predeceased by her husband Willem Prystash, brothers George and Randy Ferbey; sisters Lilly Fundytus, Phyllis Shandley and brother-in-law Orest Fundytus. A celebration of Mary's life will be held on Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014 at 2pm at Comox Valley Funeral Home, 1101 Ryan Rd. with internment to follow. A reception will be held at the Wouterlood residence in Merville. The family would like to thank the St. Joseph's staff for their excellent care and compassion Mary received during her stay there.

Lest we forget
T
he First World War was well underway 100 years ago today. It began in July, 1914 and, in the early days, people thought it would be over by Christmas. That caused young men, including many from all parts of British Columbia, to clamour to get overseas so they wouldn’t miss any of the action. In fact, the war extended for four more years — ending on Nov. 11, 1918. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with more than nine million combatants killed, along with seven million civilians. It led directly to the Russian Revolution, severe inflation in Germany and the eventual rise to power of the Nazis, the ineffective League of Nations and ultimately to the Second World War. Remembrance Day began as an effort to remember the horrific slaughter and the sacrifices made by soldiers, from Canada and many other countries, in that war. It has been observed here for many years. At one time, there was minimal participation by the public, but that has changed dramatically in the past 10 to 15 years, and this year’s events will likely be even bigger, given that the deaths of two Canadian soldiers in Canada last month are very fresh in many people’s minds. The two World Wars, Korean War, peacekeeping missions, Persian Gulf War and Afghan conflict are all remembered at Remembrance Day ceremonies. Soldiers lost their lives in all of them. A message from King George V to the families of each Canadian soldier killed in the First World War is worth quoting in its entirety: “I join with my grateful people in sending you this memorial of a brave life given for others in the Great War.” Let’s follow his example and remember the brave lives given on our behalf, as we stand with the families of soldiers and mark Remembrance Day. –Langley Times

toria. If you Google “Walrus mass haulout hype refuted” you will find Crockford’s brief video showing a long, pre-industrial history of these events. She concludes that they are a sign of overpopulation in the now-protected walrus herds. Crockford’s website, polarbearscience.com, debunks similar claims made about supposedly disappearing polar bears that have been a mainstay over the years to drive the global warming catastrophe narrative. In terms of actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, there are signs of progress. The United States has made considerable strides, thanks to abundant shale gas that has allowed it to switch from some of its 600-odd coal-fired power plants. Which brings us back to B.C.’s push for natural gas exports. The NDP claims to support this, but has spent hours in the legislature warning of a giveaway of the resource, imagined fracking disasters and LNG tanker explosions and everything else they can dream up to throw at it. This is the same party that campaigned against the carbon tax in 2009 and hasn’t had a coherent energy policy since. But this isn’t some partisan game. It’s about whether B.C. maintains its gas industry. And so far natural gas is the only thing that has substantially cut carbon emissions.

Still no accountability for Maple Pool lawsuit Dear editor, I would like to thank the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce for facilitating a very informative all-candidates meeting on Nov. 5. As a new resident of Courtenay, it allowed me to ask some questions and to meet the candidates face to face. Having followed the Maple Pool issue in
the media, I was pleased to see that all candidates are in favour of ending the legal action and seeking a kinder, more thoughtful resolution. However, considering the cost to taxpayers and the disruption of the lives of the residents of Maple Pool, I was disappointed that not one of the incumbents, at least four of who had to have
voted in favour of this legal action, did not think it necessary to apologize for this mistake and merely acted as though they were not part of this decision. Perhaps it is time for Courtenay residents to select some new councillors who are willing to be accountable for their actions. Heather Bould Courtenay

Bravo Ms. Knopp for rejecting your smart meter
Dear editor, Powerless…Not! We applaud the example that Rotraut Knopp has set with her rejection of the installation of a smart meter and the legacy meter fees. Another area resident was cut off Nov. 5, after the Nov. 1 start of the winter moratorium for hydro disconnections. Most BC Hydro users are unaware that they have a right to choose whether they have an analog or smart meter attached to their home. The decision is for the person whose name is on the

hydro bill, who is not necessarily the homeowner. Most smart meters were installed without the customer’s input. Any BC Hydro customer has the right to request that a smart meter be removed and replaced with an
analog meter, more and more users are doing this as more information is available regarding the array of issues coming to light. As always, it is important to pay on time for your power usage and equally important
to be an informed consumer. www.bc-freedom.com and www. stopsmartmetersbc.com provide information on related science, human rights, the global smart grid, surveillance and how to object to BC Hydro practices. There is a lot of help out there in the form of local support groups, online forums, and class action suits. “Take Back Your Power” is an excellent film recently presented by the Comox Valley Smart Meter Resistors group and can be downloaded for $5 at www.takebackyourpower.net.
Invite your family and friends over, make some popcorn and find out about all the issues. Did you know that Saskatchewan has been busy removing ALL smart meters previously installed? Get “connected” with the issues via social networks, writing to newspapers, talking to radio and TV reporters and don’t be afraid (that’s what BC Hydro is counting on) to take back your power!

Allowing customers to read their own meters would be a win-win alternative to legacy meter fee
Dear editor, Thank you for your article in which you describe how BC Hydro cut off the power to Ms.. Knopp because she did not want to pay the $32 monthly fee to keep her old meter. Despite BC Hydro’s immoral business behaviour, perhaps a win-win solution is possible. 1. Ms.. Knopp could read her own meter each month, herself, and report the power use to
BC Hydro who could calculate the amount owing and thus bill her. Annually a BC Hydro meter reader could check the meter reading and Ms.. Knopp could make up any discrepancy. This solution would require a deposit of x dollars, based on past usage, to ensure that the corporation had a guarantee that any payment for a gap in readings would be forthcoming. The advantage is that BC Hydro has no risk, the
$32 fee for meter reading would be paid once, annually, BC Hydro would still be paid for all the power used AND Ms. Knopp would keep her power on. This is assuming that the $32 fee is not a punitive charge but is related to the cost of having a meter reader come out to read Ms. Knopp’s meter. 2. Ms. Knopp’s assessment of $32 does not need to be assessed each month. Assuming that this
Disconnecting power is a last resort for BC Hydro Dear editor, Disconnecting power to a customer is a decision BC Hydro takes seriously and is always a last resort. We do everything we can to work with customers to resolve billing issues and have flexible payment options available for people who need them. In fairness to all customers, every BC Hydro customer must pay their bill in full. Just like any other service, customers who do not pay their bills – for whatever reason – enter our collections process and face the risk of being disconnected. This prevents the expense of unpaid accounts being passed on to other ratepayers. The decision to charge fees for customers who want to retain an old meter or chose a radio-off meter is a fair solution and is not new in North America. It ensures the vast majority of customers who have accepted a new meter are not subsidizing the choices of a very small number of customers. Fees for non-communicating meters help recover the additional costs of adding and maintaining resources, equipment and systems that have been automated by new modern meters. The fees have been approved by the BC Utilities Commission and are now part of the bill for customers who chose a non-standard meter. Further, BC Hydro has installed 1.9 million new meters over the last three years and they
have a proven safety record. BC Hydro’s new meters have undergone thorough quality assurance testing by both the manufacturer and BC Hydro to ensure they are safe, accurate and reliable. Modernizing the electricity grid with smart meters plays a crucial role in BC Hydro’s plan to provide a secure and reliable power system for customers all over the province. Once complete, a modernized grid will help BC Hydro improve its management of the electricity system, lower costs, reduce theft, encourage conservation and automatically detect outages.

alternatives are there for an ordinary consumer of an essential service when confronted with the outrageous business behaviour of a corporation with a monopoly? Such a corporation could show exceptional good will by providing a process for customers to apply for a grant to cover the cost of the meter reader. That would be a win-win-win! Sharon Parker Comox

The Academy hauls in the medals
One of the worst storms the Island has seen this year was not enough to stop the dedicated students of The Academy who travelled to Victoria to compete in the Be First Tournament on Oct. 25. The largest group yet, consisting of eight students and their coach, made the trip and performed well in each of their divisions. All competed in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) coming home with nine medals after a tough tournament. The Be First Tournament draws martial artists from all over Vancouver Island and has begun to host schools from the mainland as well. It was a fast-paced day with the team’s coach and head instructor Bill Fraser sometimes having to split his attention between the two competition surfaces, which is no easy feat. The men’s divisions included Dave Webb who finished second in No Gi and third in Gi. Mike Pighin earned a second in his Gi division, Scott Boyd who took home second in the heavyweight No Gi. Russ McCumber garnered second in No Gi. Mark Fabris and Brendan Abreu both fought valiantly in tough but separate divisions, with Brendan going against much higher belts in his open bracket. Both finished just outside of the medals. All of the men’s brackets were loaded with talented and fierce competitors. All performed well, showcasing their dedication to training. Two of The Academy’s female grapplers, Ali Cranmer and Alma Ballington, found themselves going headto-head at one point in small women’s division in both Gi and No Gi, with them taking home first and third respectively in both divisions. Both Ali and Alma are on a mission to draw more women to the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, both for its

the 5th Annual Comox West Coast Women’s Show Oct. 4th & 5th Both days were very well attended and hundreds of people came out to check out this Lifestyle Show geared towards women. The auditorium was full of exhibits showcasing products, services and information of interest to women, as well as informative seminars. All the seminars were well attended and over the two days about 1000 visitors took in the show. The first 200 attendees each day received a beautiful flower compliments of the Comox Quality Foods Floral Department. Organizer Trish Newton Segal was very pleased with the response to the show. “Once again women were genuinely excited to see a show like this in the valley. Women are natural gatherers of knowledge and with the wide variety of information showcased at the show it was a very exciting place to be.” The Grand prize winner of a Romantic Weekend for Two at the renowned Sooke Harbour House on Vancouver Island was a very excited Courtenay resident Chris Renouf. She has won two nights accommodation in a luxury beachfront Queen Suite at Sooke Harbour House including breakfast! Winners of best displays at the show were 1st place Quality Foods Floral Dept. and A Step Above 2nd place Blue Moon Winery and 3rd place was Delphine’s Flowers and Gardens.
