Cable ferry on schedule for late summer arrival Buckley Bay-Denman Island route will be longest cable ferry in the world

Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The Buckley Bay — Denman Island cable ferry is expected to be up and running late this summer, says BC Ferries. As opposed to a crew of six that operates the self-propelled Quinitsa, three

Construction of the 78.5 metre cable ferry is nearing completion at Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards in North Vancouver. The vessel will be towed to its new route late-May and attached into the cable system. It will operate with one drive cable and two guide cables, which will be strung in late-April. They will undergo a series of tests beforehand. Once the ferry is in place, there will be sea trials and cable change-outs to ensure the system meets operational and safety requirements. In June and July, crews will undergo train-

ing to prepare for passenger and vehicle service. New berths have been built at Buckley Bay and Denman. Ruskin Construction and Vancouver Pile Driving have completed marine structures and “upland construction” to improve layouts for loading and unloading vehicles. In recent years, Denman and Hornby Island residents have voiced opposition to the project, concerned about safety and reliability. Others are angry about job losses and crew reductions.

He may have gotten a late start, but Capt. Denis “Cheech” Beaulieu is making up for lost time. The Bagotville-based pilot is at the helm for this year’s CF-18 Demonstration Team which is training for two weeks in the skies of the Comox Valley, and while he joined the forces less than 10 years ago, he had one ambition: to become a fighter pilot. “A lot of my colleagues, it’s been a dream since they were young kids. They saw the Snowbirds at an air show when they were two or three, and ever since then they decided they wanted to be a pilot. I was a bit of a late bloomer; I decided to go towards aviation when I was in university,” he explained. Following a degree in mechanical engineering in Sherbrooke, Que., Beaulieu decided he wanted a career with more adventure and an opportunity for travel.

people will be aboard the new vessel, which will be the longest of its kind in the world. The corporation expects the cable ferry will save more than $80 million over 40 years. “The $2 million in operational savings per year will come from a reduction in the labour component, a reduction in fuel savings because there’ll be a much smaller fuel consumption, and then a reduction in the maintenance,” said Mark Wilson, BC Ferries’ vice-president of engineering. “It’s a simpler vessel than a conventional ferry to maintain.”

School Garden Conference set for Wednesday Erin Haluschak Record Staff

With nearly every school in School District 71 having a garden, Heidi Jungwirth knows how beneficial it can be for students and staff. “It’s pretty awesome, but it does have its challenges,” explains the Courtenay Elementary School teacher and co-ordinator of the inaugural SD71 School Garden Conference. Jungwirth says she created the conference in order to help teachers connect curriculum with gardening, share expertise and create networking opportunities. “I wanted to create a chance for everyone to get together and share ideas - we’re all doing the same thing but doing it independently.” She adds topics such as traditional gardening, shoulder season gardening and the growing movement to garden with native food plants will be covered. Additionally, keynote speaker Brent Mansfield from Think & Eat Green @ School will talk about linking a 21st century curriculum to school gardens. “I’m looking forward to him infusing his energy and ideas into the Valley,” adds Jungwirth. “There’s lots of people living in the city who don’t have a garden. We’re going to talk about when school is out - which is a large part of the gardening season - we share the load and share the harvest. “We will talk about what it’s like to be partners with a school garden, and have community members be

excited to have access to a garden, especially in downtown Courtenay. It’s a win-win.” With interest from all of the school districts on Vancouver

and Seed Savers and a variety of vendors for networking opportunities and to ask questions. Local agrologist and owner of Amara

Farm Arzeena Hamir has taken on the role of helping organize the day, and will compile feedback from the event into a document/ guide which later will

Wellness program a product of Walk for Hearts Terry Farrell Record Staff

It’s been seven years since Al Manuel’s last bypass surgery. He knows the only way to keep that number growing is through maintenance – cardio pulmonary wellness, so to speak. He’s had the typical doctor’s advice, change of diet, change of habits. But recently his heart maintenance received a very practical boost. Manuel has just completed the 12-week Cardio Pulmonary Wellness Program at the Comox Community Centre – a customized program for cardio patients that identifies the parameters of their cardio capacity, and sets up activity levels within those boundaries. “The best thing about this program is that now I have a better idea of what I can do, in terms of challenging myself,” he said. “This program really offers some guidance, particularly in what I do from a physical standpoint.”

Simple concept Sarah Wright, a certified clinical exercise specialist who leads the program, said the concept of the Cardio Pulmonary Wellness Program is simple. “It’s just to improve people’s quality of life,” she said. “We want to give people the tools to self manage and be more active, be more healthy, and better able to cope with things that come up along the way. “The 12 weeks is a substantial time, so it usually helps people get past some sort of

Former Record publisher passes away Record Staff Former Comox Valley Record publisher Jim Odo passed away on Wednesday, April 15. Odo began his newspaper career at the Comox District Free Press (“The Greensheet”) in 1966 as an advertising sales person before progressing to advertising manager and then onto general manager. He retired, for the first time, in 1991. After a brief time without deadlines, Odo

returned to the industry to lead the Record as its publisher. He left the industry for good in 1995. Odo was well known in the Comox Valley not only as a newspaper man, but also as an active volunteer, and for his contributions to numerous service clubs and associations. He was a Courtenay city councillor from 1990 to 1993 and served on the City of Courtenay’s board of variance for 18 years.

He served as a director of the BC Summer Games (1981) and as the chairman of the BC Winter Games (1995). Odo is survived by Gayle, his wife of 59 years, children Richard (Julie), Jim (Betty) and Connie (Michael), and sisters Jan, Sheila, and Helena (Alex). A celebration of life will be held at the Sunnydale Golf Club on Saturday, April 25 at 2 p.m. For a full obituary, see Thursday’s Record.

Ferry: No job loss anticipated for Quinitsa staff Con't from Page 1 “I recognize there’s been some opposition and concern, but I think once we’re in service and this settles down and we prove that we do exactly what we say we’re going to do at BC Ferries, that there is going to be some positive interest around it about being the longest cable ferry in the world. I think that even some people will come to ride it and see it because of that. Irrespective of salt water or fresh water, it’s the longest cable ferry in the world.” He feels the $2 million yearly savings will help reduce upward pressure on fares. “From my perspective of why I think there is some controversy or concern around the residents, they do have a very, very good ship and a very, very reliable service,” Wilson said.

Pilot: Training over water something new Con't from Page 1 “… I started thinking about aviation and I thought military aviation would be a good way. If I wanted to go military aviation, I decided to pick the fastest, the best airplane that there is in the Canadian fleet, and that’s the F18.” A member of the 425 “Alouettes” Tactical Fighter Squadron at 3 Wing, Beaulieu has more than 800 hours of flying time on the aircraft, and along with meeting a variety of other requirements and qualifications, he was chosen in January for the one-year assignment as demo pilot. From Texas to PEI and many stops in between, the upcoming air show schedule for Beaulieu and his maintenance crew is a busy one, but he noted the two weeks of April flying in Comox provides a unique opportunity for training. “At this stage in my training, I’ve done all my training in Bagotville, my home base. But I’ve never done (any) over the water, so the depth perspective and the ground rush is not going to be the same. The visual cues are not going to be the same.”

Hornby getting a new fire hall

While loops, upside down and sideways flying is part of the usual training for F18 pilots, Beaulieu explained the maneuvers are generally reserved for combat missions. The biggest difference between what he will be performing at air shows and usual flying is the altitude. “Usually when we do fly upside down, it’s at a lot higher altitude. So the risk factor doing that at 300 feet above ground is increased a lot, that’s why we have a good training program and we start higher; as I get more familiar and more comfortable, I get lower and lower.” While the aerobatics Beaulieu will undertake during the summer across North America will be eyecatching, the plane itself is decorated to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Based on the fighter aircrafts that Canadian pilots flew at the

time, the design particularly pays homage to the Hawker Hurricane 401 Squadron - an all-Canadian squadron that flew with the Royal Air Force. As for his nickname, Beaulieu maintains he can only reveal so much about its origins. “Every fighter pilot in Canada and in the United States, France, England, they all get a nickname and we call that a call sign. You don’t get to pick yours, it’s something that is given to you by your peers. It’s usually related to a funny story or something you messed up or a play on your name. And it’s reserved to that very close circle that is the fighter pilot community,” he added with a laugh.

Hornby Island residents voted overwhelmingly in favour of constructing a new fire hall, according to unofficial results from Saturday’s referendum. Numbers released Monday indicate 83 per cent of respondents (623) said yes and 17 per cent (126) said no to a proposed loan authorization bylaw to build a new facility. There are 834 eligible voters on Hornby, meaning the referendum attracted a 94.6 per cent voter turnout. An alternate approval process in January prevented the regional district board from adopting the bylaw, prompting the referendum. The $1.9 million project will be funded by $1.6 million in debt financing, $200,000 in federal gas tax funds and $100,000 from reserves. Hornby property owners will pay an average $24 per year to repay the borrowed funds.

Project Watershed honours KFN Comox Valley Project Watershed Society was pleased to present the 2015 “Keeping it Living” award to K’ómoks First Nation, in a recent ceremony. This award is given each year to recognize an individual or organization that has gone above and beyond to work towards the protection and restoration of the K’ómoks Estuary. An original painting of the estuary by local artist Bev Byerley was presented to the K’ómoks First Nation. “This year’s award recognizes the leadership role the K’ómoks First Nation has taken in the estuary by developing a Guardian Watchman Program and carrying on the work of developing

a K’ómoks Estuary Management Plan,” states Don Castleden, Project Watershed Director and Chair of the Estuary Working Group. The award was presented to Chief and Council at their People’s Assembly. In addition to the award ceremony, the new Guardian Watchman Program was officially announced. Project Watershed Board Chair Paul Horgen notes, “Three of the four governments bordering the estuary have been recipients of this award over the last five years, which has fostered partnership and cooperation with local governments to protect and restore the K’ómoks estuary.”

Anzac centennial to be recognized at Comox Mall Saturday, April 25, will mark the centennial of Anzac (Australian and New Zealand Army Corp) and the HMCS Alberni Museum and Memorial will host the first annual Anzac Day commemoration at its Comox Centre Mall location at 12:30 p.m. This will also be in honour of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli, a battle of the First World War. Anzac Day is similar to Canadian Remembrance Day in honouring Commonwealth Military Forces. Musical guest will be Shayne Stuchbury who will provide music in both English and Maori. The Remembrance ceremony will be presented by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160 (Comox) after which the audience will be treated to an expression of what Anzac Day represents with presentations by Lucas Evans and Cathy Kaardal. The museum will also have a small interactive exhibit on Anzac Day as well as two documentary film areas playing short films on a loop and will present the 1981 film Gallipoli with Mel Gibson at approximately 2 p.m. with admission by donation in the neighbouring store front.

Fassbender toes party line

e’ve all had times when we say something stupid, or that we later regret for one reason or another. The usual thing to do is either apologize and move on, or at least pretend it never happened. Unless you’re the B.C. Liberal government; then you make it part of public policy. Earlier this month, after a day of protests over funding cuts to the school system, Education Minister Peter Fassbender supported Premier Christy Clark’s shocking comment that school districts could simply slash “the low-hanging fruit” out of their budgets. Clark’s comment, made as she delivered a provincial budget that asked the province’s school districts to come up with $29 million in cuts — while claiming to be increasing funding to education — was met with disbelief from school administrators, trustees and parents. From their side, school boards across the province responded that there are no easy cuts left to make. That’s pretty much common sense, taking into account the last decade of cuts school districts have been making to balance budget shortfalls. Over the years, local school districts have been able to accomplish amazing things even with shrinking budgets, and will no doubt continue to do so. But that is not the same as saying they are adequately funded, or can cut any more out of their budgets without pain. It’s time for the provincial government to stop trying to sell the line that they are increasing funding to the school system. The cuts at the grassroots level have been going on too long for that to be believable. When you consider the number of people that turned out for a provincial day of protests against the cuts on April 10, you have to wonder how Fassbender could continue to support Clark’s lowhanging fruit ideology by saying that “there’s nothing to be gained by perpetuating a myth that our public education system is underfunded and broken.” There’s even less to be gained by pretending it isn’t.

The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fiscal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million. The appraiser also recommended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office development. De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted. But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had everything to do with the B.C. Liberals’ need to balance the books. When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality. It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmonized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of international finance. Surplus asset sales have a long tradition in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land. But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

WBN a major contributor to L’Arche campaign success Dear editor, These are exciting times for the I Belong! campaign. Although Don McRae’s recent announcement of government funding has caught the headlines, the efforts of the local Women’s Business Network cannot go unnoticed. The CV Women’s Business Network was the driving force behind

the recent production of Steve Hill’s When I’m 64, a funny yet poignant portrayal which invited theatergoers into the hearts and heads of five female characters. All proceeds from two soldout performances at Sid Williams Theatre - over $15,000! - were donated to the L’Arche I Belong! campaign. The individual acts of generosity that made

this possible are many. Beginning with Steve Hill’s permission to forego royalties on the production, there are the many actors who contributed hours of rehearsal time and a visible emotional investment. Sound and stage managers, backstage crew, program designers, photographers - all gave generously and gave their best to make

this theatrical event the success it was. Behind the scenes, the Women’s Business Network worked tirelessly to promote and orchestrate the event - this is our community at its best and L’Arche Comox Valley is truly grateful for the support. Thank you, everyone! Erica Ekelund Administrative Assistant L’Arche Comox Valley

Compliance has bigger issues than Raven Mine Dear editor, In the last seven years the only things Compliance Energy has delivered on reliably are meaningless dates and missed deadlines, culminating with last month’s voluntary application withdrawal. “Misinformation has been circulating in some communities,” said the company in its March 2 letter to the EAO, wherein it voluntarily withdrew its latest coal mine application. And that is without ever getting into the all-important technical details of water, shellfish, trucking, coal dust and the impacts of a coal port - issues the public has been denied a chance to examine for seven years. There may be misinformation lurking in that material too, but the EAO didn’t get

there is “significant doubt about [the company’s] ability to continue as a going concern.” Among the concerns was a $9 million deficit - six times the deemed “market value” of the company. Compliance may be able to pull itself together enough to get an acceptable application into the EAO for a full environmental assessment. But in today’s coal market it could never attract the investment necessary to build a mine. Coal prices may increase again, one day, and the Raven mine or something like it may come back again. It will be as unpopular then, as it is now, for all the same reasons.

that far: it put together 62 pages of deficiencies in the application, without even completing the screening. Compliance has also conspicuously failed to deliver on the only benefit of the mine and its associated trucking and port activities: “350 new, well-paying, fulltime jobs and hundreds of indirect jobs in the Comox Valley, Port Alberni and surrounding regions.” When pigs fly.

Today, coal companies are in despair. Coal prices have seldom been lower. Mines are closing everywhere, including B.C. These grim conditions, as well as Compliance’s unique style, are reflected in the company’s share price: it closed last week at two cents. The company’s auditors included a rare, and serious, “Emphasis of Matter” in last year’s financial statements, warning shareholders that

Bravo to hospital nursing staff; boo to administration Dear editor, I am writing this letter to deliver accolades to the nurses of the Medical Daycare Department and Medical Day Care Bookings as well as a “what the heck?” scratch of the head to the hospital administration of St. Joseph’s Hospital. The Medical Daycare Unit is bearing a huge burden of IV antibiotics/blood transfusions/iron infusions and many other procedures for thousands of patients a year with seemingly no support from administration. Most of these patients in the past would be inpatients. The nurses in this depart-

ment say they have been advocating for the past 10 years that they need more space and staff to deliver a basic standard of care for the community with what they say is no response. In the last 10 years the number of patients cared for in this department has gone from 334 to 6,125 per year. Patients requiring IV antibiotics have increased from 156 per year to 2,905 per year. Patients receiving iron infusions have gone from 0 to over 1,000 per year. Same four chairs and one nurse. The administration touts that the patients taking up

space in the hospital (alternate level of care) are one of the major problems “bottlenecking” access to inpatient/ surgical beds. When patients who are waiting for blood transfusions become so weak that they fall and break a hip while waiting days for a fourhour treatment end up needing months of care in an ALC bed, how is this “managing” community needs? When an elderly patient is in need of heparin injection (their numbers have gone from 51 to 1013 in 10 years) develops lung or leg clots and now is in need of ICU or long-term inpatient care, how is this

being fiscally responsible or delivering “care with compassion”? Only when it is a loved one will it hit home. I am hoping that the hospital administration use their “masters degree in health care administration” diplomas hung on the walls of their well-furnished offices to do more than cover nail holes. You are charged with managing and administrating the health care of this community. Do your jobs and fix this. Barbara Mellin, RN Comox

Murder-mystery to benefit food bank “In the Deadwood saloon in the town of Gravestone, the townspeople are gathering for an evening of poker, dancing and drinking – oblivious to the trouble that is brewing around them.

The murder-mystery dinner theatre, to be held at the Courtenay Legion to benefit the Comox Valley Food bank, is scheduled for Saturday, May 2. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Western apparel and costumes are encouraged. There will be plenty of door prizes. In addition to fundraising through ticket sales, there will be a silent auction.

Gen Y students hit hard by debt load The average student now completes their post-secondary education with over $28,000 in student loans, not including compound interests that accrue after graduation. Student debt has surpassed the average Canadian consumer debt (which sits at an average of $20,967) and ranks second only behind mortgage debt. Janice Stuber, a personal bankruptcy trustee with MNP Debt, says the trend is an alarming one, and that it could affect Generation Y consumers and their ability to establish households in the future. “Students are going out into a weaker job market already heavily in debt, and then struggling to find a job that can effectively pay down that debt. Defaulting on their loans becomes inevitable for many, especially for those who lack financial planning skills,” Stuber said.

In 2013, the CIBC Centre for Human Capital said that 14 per cent of Canadian Student Loans Program (CSLP) borrowers defaulted on loans within the first three years after leaving school. In the last four years, the federal government announced it is writing off $295 million in uncollected Canada Student Loans from more than 63,000 bad debts. Canadian taxpayers and the economy could continue to take a hit as new graduates finish their education with more debt than ever. Over the next 25 years, government predicts tuition fees will rise at a rate of 2.5 per cent above inflation annually. A report by TD Economics compared the costs of a degree now versus the projected costs of a degree for a child born in 2011. The increase is staggering. The report estimates a student who started studying

in 2011 would spend $55,000 during their degree if living at home and $84,000 if living away from home. For children born in 2011, this number is projected to grow to $102,286 if they live at home, and $139,380 away from home while at college or university. “Indebted graduates often have a low net worth and own few or no assets. Many more have no savings or investments at all,” Stuber said. Debt-ridden young couples are even postponing milestones such as marriage, buying a house and having children because of the strain student debts have put on household finances. With the predictions of even greater debt loads to come, students are advised to seek counselling and develop a plan to repay debts as soon as they graduate, or even before graduation.

Graham Nash named final headliner for MusicFest Scott Stanfield Record Staff

David Crosby headlined Vancouver Island MusicFest in 2011. This year, Graham Nash has been added to the list of performers, the festival’s executive producer Doug Cox confirmed Thursday. “He’s going to be touring as part of a duo, and I’m not sure who the second person is going to be,” Cox said. “I’m just thrilled that we get to have him come. He’s an interesting guy.” Born in war-time England, Nash was a member of the Hollies who, along with the Beatles and Rolling Stones, were part of the He’s one of Invasion the absolute icons British in the 1960s. of his generation.

And then the social aspect of their music as well, which Graham Nash has always been a huge supporter of. The No Nukes concert that happened in the '70s was one of the first gigantic benefit concerts.” The Nash song Military Madness, recorded during the Vietnam War, was one of the first anti-war songs recorded by a pop star. At times, the overtones of the trio’s voices creates a fourth part. “It’s called a ghost harmony, and they were kind of the masters of that,” said Cox. “Quite often when you listen to Crosby, Stills and Nash recordings, you actually hear four parts.

Dirty Old Man to visit CLT rehearsal space for play reading Courtenay Little Theatre is presenting another of its popular Event Night play readings on Tuesday, April 21 at its rehearsal space, 1625 McPhee Ave., and is inviting community members to attend. Doors open at 7 p.m., with admission by freewill donation at the door. Help yourself to tea and coffee, with announcements beginning at 7:15 p.m. The 45-minute play reading of Lewis John Carlino’s oneact play entitled The Dirty Old Man, will begin promptly at 7:30. Directed by Kirstin Humpherys, the cast includes Brian Mather, Heather Barner and Percy Gledhill. Lewis John Carlino is best known as a scriptwriter and director. He directed The Great Santini and wrote I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. He also wrote plays and The Dirty Old Man gives us an example of his skill. This is a story of an Old Man who is indulging in memories and wine while sitting in his favourite spot overlooking the sea. Enter Holly and Chuck, teenagers looking for a place to pursue some private intimacy. The Old Man’s presence changes everything, leading to a stunning climax which leaves the Old Man and the audience alike contemplating the complexity of growing old. Seating is limited for this popular event so please arrive promptly at 7.

fourth part. It takes unique vocal tones for that to happen. It’s not just something that anybody can do. “They wrote the book on open tunings.

They wrote the book on so many different aspects of what’s become modern pop music,” Cox added. “It was pretty unusual the style they created. I don’t think anyone has ever compared in the same way.” Nash has penned an autobiography dubbed Wild Tales. He continues to perform — sometimes solo, sometimes with Crosby, and at times with Crosby and Stephen Stills. And he continues to speak out about issues, be it the peace movement, the human rights movement or the environmental movement. “He’s one of the absolute icons of his generation,” Cox said. “He continues to be a voice of sanity. He’s forever spoken out about what he believes in.” Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee (with Crosby, Stills, and Nash and with the Hollies). He was also inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame twice, as a solo artist and with CSN, and he is a Grammy Award winner. MusicFest is July 10-12 at the Comox Valley Fairgrounds. Lyle Lovett and his Large Band headline Friday night and Buddy Guy performs Saturday. Nash is slated to hit the stage Sunday. Closing the festival will be Leftover Salmon featuring Bill Payne of Little Feat. This year’s event features a tribute to Long John Baldry, with whom Cox once toured as part of his acoustic trio. Also featured is Maggie Bell — known as Scotland’s Queen of Soul — who sang on Baldry’s album, It Ain’t Easy and on Rod Stewart’s Every Picture Tells A Story. “John was basically the father of the British blues movement,” Cox said. “Elton John named himself after John Baldry. Both Rod Stewart and Elton John started out in Baldry’s band.” There will also be a project called the World Beat at Home, a concert featuring an array of multi-cultural musicians who reside in B.C.

Keizur and Christofferson team up for GSJS gig And now for something completely different… In a season which has featured increasingly larger combos, Georgia Straight Jazz Society presents a duet at The Avalanche this Thursday, and an evening of romantic, sensual and sentimental music. To celebrate her upcoming CD release, bilingual vocalist Heather Keizur returns to Vancouver Island, part of her North American tour, for her appearance in Courtenay. Steve Christofferson joins Keizur to share their passion for jazz. Keizur and Christofferson have performed together for over six years – a working relationship that was formed by happenstance, nearly seven years ago. “Someone else was supposed to be playing with me on a gig in December 2008 when at the last

minute, I got a call saying that he couldn’t make it. So that night Steve filled in,” said Keizur. “That’s when the magic began.” Keizur and Christofferson are of one mind when it comes to making music. The great Joe Williams once told Christofferson, “Sing like there’s no tomorrow.” When Keizur and Christofferson perform together, you feel as if they have been doing so all of their lives. Keizur’s new CD, Under My Skin, includes songs such as “’S Wonderful,” in an arrangement that will make you smile, and “Avec Le Temps” that will touch your heart to its core. “When we made this recording the idea was to go into the studio to make music, not a CD,” said Keizur. “Only the tunes that sounded like magic made the cut.”

The show will feature songs from the new CD, together with some classic French chansons as well as a few pop songs in jazz genre that remind her of her days growing up in B.C. Keizur’s performances showcase a mature talent that is equally at ease with jazz standards and French chansons. Christofferson’s piano, melodica, and vocals add a powerful depth to the duo’s music. Keizur, who lived in Nanaimo and Victoria, regularly performs in Portland, Oregon, a city she now calls home. Show time is 7:30 p.m. Admission for this show is $10 for members, and $12 for non-members. For more information about the Jazz Society, and other forthcoming events, see our website georgiastraightjazz. com, or find us on Facebook.

TANCON, AMALIA

November 13, 1924 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April 13, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amalia Tancon on April 13, 2015 at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Comox. Amalia (nee Adami) was born November 13, 1924 in the village of Gares in the Dolomite Alps of Northeastern Italy. She married Ottorino Alberto Tancon in 1947 and moved to his town of Canale Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Agordo where 4 sons were born. Her husband immigrated to Canada in 1951 to find work, and Amalia with 4 boys joined him in Ocean Falls, BC in 1956. They were blessed with 5 more children and had many happy years in that thriving paper mill community. Amalia was a woman of strong faith that saw her through some very difficult times, including the loss of her husband to cancer in 1970 at just 49 years old, and the loss of their son Bruno Robert in 1996. She was the true matriarch of the family- strong, loving and passionate. Moving her family to Campbell River in 1971, she learned to drive and went to work to support her youngest children. She bought a house and lived there independently for 43 years until 2014, when her health began to fail. Grateful thanks to Frank and Wendy who cared for her in their home until she needed extended care. Amalia is survived by her sons Paolo (Joanna), Gino (Catherine), Federico (Bev), Renato (Chris), Franco (Wendy), Mario (Melodie), Daniele (Angela), and her only daughter Maria Matheson (Neil). Amalia leaves a legacy of many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who thrived on her love and Italian cooking. She was much loved by her large family and many friends and will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank Dr. Brian Carswell, her physician of many years, as well as the staff of Campbell River and District General Hospital, Dr. Matt Robertson and the staff of Oceanview Extended Care at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, for their compassionate care of Amalia in her final few months. Thanks also to Mario for lovingly providing her with many home cooked meals. Amaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral service will held in Campbell River at St Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church on Friday, April 24, at 11:00 am.

In loving memory

Jean Roy McKenzie June 26, 1915 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April 13, 2015 Jean McKenzie (nee Gowans) left us April 13, 2015, to join her husband, Les McKenzie (1967), son Ian (1984) and brother Jack Gowans (1990) in heaven. Her positive attitude and love of life were an inspiration to all who knew her. Jean was born in Moose Jaw, SK on June 26, 1915.

She moved to Regina after Lesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death and then to Niagara Falls to be near Ian. After Ianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death she moved back to Regina. In 2010 she embarked on her last great adventure by moving to the Comox Valley. Jean is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, and friends Ross Moxley and Joan Skingle. We will miss her.

BC Youth Week is May 1-7, and the LINC Youth Centre is inviting the community to get in on the action at the “Young Ones vs. Old Ones” Road Hockey Tournament on Saturday, May 2 at The LINC. Youth 11 to 18 can register as teams or individuals for this free event. Youth will play throughout the day to determine a winning team, who will then take on an adult team comprised of local youth workers, volunteers, and Courtenay Council members. Games are scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., with the final game being held in the afternoon. “The final game is always a fun one to watch,” explained Kristine Klupsas, Youth Services Coordinator at The LINC. Youth Week is celebrated during the first week of May and helps recognize youth as an important part of their communities. The road hockey tournament is free, and also includes prizes for the winning youth team and a free barbecue lunch for everyone who participates. To register in advance, visit courtenay.ca/linc or email aforbes@courtenay.ca Teams that register prior to April 25 will be entered to win a $25 gift card to Happy’s Source for Sports.
