■ commute collision A collision involving a minivan and a pick-up truck had traffic backed up along Highway 19A Thursday morning. The driver of the southbound minivan rear-ended the pick-up, which was in the process of turning left into Atlas Manufacturing, just north of Coleman Road.

Comox development gets council’s blessing ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Despite an attempt at a motion from Coun. Hugh MacKinnon to reconfigure the building from five to four storeys, Comox council approved Wednesday the development of the Lorne Hotel project. The project has been at the centre of public opinion for more than a year, and gained momentum from those both for and against the proposed five-storey building following a public hearing earlier this month. Last fall, rezoning and development permit applications were given first and second reading by council for a five-storey mixed-use building the first of its size in Comox. The project would feature a pub/ bistro on the first floor, and a variety of condos from 700 to 1,500 square feet on the remaining floors. In late November, the town hosted

a public open house for the proposed development where residents came out in droves to view the latest architectural drawings and ask questions to the project manager Shawn Vincent and architect Harry Whitfield. As a result of the feedback and comments from the open house, Vincent addressed council in early April with the latest design changes for the commercial/resident building. “I have heard from many they want the project to go forward, but many do not support the five storeys on that small lot size,” explained MacKinnon, who noted the building will be with the town for the next 40 to 50 years. “Let’s give a little bit more time to get it right.” He proposed a motion to ask the developers to return with a proposal that is four, rather than five floors, and to continue with the Comox By The Sea maritime theme and with historical reference to the Lorne. It was supported by Coun. Barbara Price, who added she heard a variety of reasons from the public as to why the building should not proceed as

proposed, including height, inappropriate design, too little parking and that it would forever change the rural look of the town. “I supported the motion to change to the project. We do need to look at the public for their views,” she explained. Both Couns. Marg Grant and Ken Grant opposed MacKinnon’s motion. “There’s another point we need to consider - that we’ve had one application to build the Lorne. If in fact, we were to send out a message to future investors that well, yes, we’re open to business, but this is going to complicate the application, what kind of message does that give to future investors?” said Marg. “You make it sound like we can just lop a storey off; it’s just a simple little tweak to a plan at the very ‘nth’ hour,” added Ken Grant. “This is a major change to this building - this will send them back to re-plan and redesign the entire building. There’s no chance that these guys are going to go ahead if we’re going to do that.” See LORNE, Page 5

Courtenay woman wins Hospice 50/50

Linda Dancy of Courtenay was thrilled when she got the call earlier this month, telling her she had won the Comox Valley Hospice Society’s Ultimate Fifty/50 raffle. “I’ve never won anything,” said Linda when contacted by phone, “but it was great to support such a worthy cause.” She went on to say, “It’s my birthday and what a birthday present I have this year!” Dancy won $17,480. The other half of the money will go to fund the emotional and spiritual needs of those who are dying as well as grief and bereavement care provided by hospice staff and volunteers for their loved ones. “This is the care that goes beyond the medical needs of the person dying funded by Island Health and ensures the care truly embodies a hospice philosophy of caring for the whole person, their loved ones and their caregivers,” said Audrey Craig, president of CVHS.

Due to low water levels, combined with low inflows into the Comox Lake reservoir, and in anticipation of little rainfall in the forecast, the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) will move to stage two water restrictions beginning June 1. Stage two follows the even/odd date and address system of stage one, but restricts watering to just twice a week. • People living at an even numbered address can use a sprinkler to water a lawn on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 4 - 7 a.m. and from 7 - 10 p.m.; • People living at an odd numbered address can use a sprinkler to water a lawn those on Wednesdays and Sundays from 4 - 7 a.m. and from 7 - 10 p.m.; Stage two restrictions do not allow for washing sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots. The water that supplies the Comox Valley water local service areas originates in Comox Lake and is taken from the Puntledge River and delivered to approximately 41,000 residents. These water restrictions apply to everyone living in the Town of Comox, the City of Courtenay and the Arden, Comox Valley, England Road, Marsden/Camco, and Greaves Crescent water local service areas. All of these areas are served by the Comox Valley water system. To view the water conservation bylaw and to keep updated with the current water restrictions, visit comoxvalleyrd.ca/restrictions

“I have known Jason for over 25 years, and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone with hearing difficulties.” - Martin Davies, Comox

“Jason spent the extra time to get my hearing aids just right for me. They’ve made a huge difference in my life.” - Leslie Romans, Courtenay

A Curtis Road couple who replaced a staircase installed by previous homeowners in 1971 have landed themselves in a mess with the regional district. Lisa and John Zuk — who purchased their Area B property about 12 years ago — repaired the 26 stairs several times but finally tore them down and built new ones in 2012. They did so without a development or building permit, which prompted the CVRD to initiate bylaw compliance. “We did not know we required a permit, so we built them without a permit,” Lisa said, noting they had also installed rip rap on their beach. In November, Lisa said they struck a deal with the CVRD, whereby the couple could keep the rip rap but remove the roof of a pergola along with the stairs. A month later, Lisa said the CVRD’s lawyer filed a civil claim against them. The district would not comment on the last statement. “Our interest is getting them into compliance with the bylaws that every other taxpayer has to comply with,” said Alana Mullaly, manager of planning services. “It does make for a challenging process when you do work without permits and then have to go back and remedy.” The staircase came to the district’s attention because it received a complaint that construction materials had been dumped on the beach.

“I appreciate the selection of hearing aids at Jason’s clinic... the care and service has been outstanding.” - John McPhail, Courtenay

■ Scott Stanfield

The materials have been cleared from the area. After spending about $7,500 to repair the stairs on various occasions, Lisa said she and John spent another $75,000 on reports, surveys and legal fees. They also had to pay a $4,500 security deposit to the district, part of which will be held back. “It’s been a hard and arduous battle with them,” Lisa said. “It’s been a nightmare. It’s so frustrating. We just want it to go away.” The purpose of the deposit is to ensure the CVRD can correct any damage if work is not undertaken properly. “As a regular function of all of our development permits, we take a security deposit,” Mullaly said. “That’s not unique to the Zuks, that’s a standard requirement. It’s certainly not a fine. It’s wholly refundable if the work is done the way that the permit spells out. “The idea is to hold it for a full growing season. At the end of that period, then they get that money back.”

Lorne: MacKinnon motion defeated

Continued from Page 3 “To bring this at this time, I think is wrong.” MacKinnon argued in the spirit of compromise, it was important to consider feedback from the public hearing, and that in the past, council has made changes to projects following a public hearing. Ken Grant Compromise will replied while that has happened, kill this project, and changes have you’ll end up with a never been to a vacant lot. major portion of a KEN GRANT project. “Compromise will kill this project, and you’ll end up with a vacant lot. Compromise should have been brought forward way earlier in the process.” Richard Kanigan, the town’s chief administrative officer confirmed if council did indeed vote in favour of the new motion, the project would require another public hearing because the change to the project would be significant. Coun. Russ Arnott noted council was voted in to make hard decisions, and questioned if 45 years from now, if a five-storey building will be much of an issue. “I didn’t get into this gig to have everybody like me. I’ll do my best. To sit here and try to appease everybody, we cannot do it. None of us here can do that, and I think that’s what we’re trying to do here.” MacKinnon’s motion was defeated 4-2, with Price and MacKinnon voting in favour. Mayor Paul Ives was not present for the vote or any previous discussions of the project due to a declared conflict of interest. Comox Zoning Bylaw Amendment No.1791 and Comox Phased Development Agreement Bylaw No. 1792 for 1770 Comox Avenue passed third reading 4-2, with Couns. Arnott, Ken Grant, Marg Grant and Acting Mayor Maureen Swift voting in favour. After the meeting, developer Shawn Vincent said he feels the project is going to be the centrepiece the community is hoping for. “We’ve heard from a lot of people in the community and at the end of the day, we really have compromised. We’ve heard the concerns of the local people, but we’re not building a building not just for today, this is a building that is going to be there for 45, 50 years.” He added if paperwork and planning goes smoothly over the summer, construction could begin in the fall.

Bike to Work Week

ike to Work Week goes all this week, and Mother Nature has complied. Cyclists should be able to look forward to some sunny skies, which should help with the numbers. The annual cycling awareness event began Monday (May 25) in the Comox Valley and around B.C. as part of a provincial government initiative to get more people pedalling. There are many activities happening in our community. Commuters will see Celebration Stations located in various spots around the Valley, where cyclists will be able to grab a snack to keep them going, say hello to fellow bike commuters, or catch a wave of encouragement. The Comox Valley is also one of the most progressive communities regarding the involvement of schools during Bike to Work Week. This year, eight schools are officially enrolled in Bike to School Week. Ecole Robb Road, which last year had as many as 185 bikes on the racks on any given day during Bike to School Week, turns the week into much more than a simple bike ride to school. Participating students receive a passport, to track their mileage. There’s a bike rodeo of sorts, with an obstacle course on which students can test their bike-riding agility before starting their school day. The school has also turned the week into a fundraiser. Students are collecting pledges for their efforts, and all funds raised are going towards a permanent outdoor bike shelter at the school. Ecole Puntledge Park, Valley View Elementary, Cumberland Community Schools Campus, Huband Park Elementary, Miracle Beach Elementary, Aspen Park Elementary and Brooklyn Strong Start have also registered for Bike To School Week on the provincial website. For a full slate of all the local activities, check out the Comox Valley’s Bike to Work Week website at bit.ly/1AtVpLQ For the rest of us, take note of the increased bike traffic this week, and remember to share the road. – Adapted from the Campbell River Mirror

POLITICS

Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced last week. Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years. The government says the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term. Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum. These corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases. Environmental changes such as a “discriminatory” carbon tax increase

cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal. Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years. The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change. Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public. Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant. The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert.

or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation. Future changes to general carbon tax or corporate income tax rates would not. NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being offered, with no word of job guarantees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert. “My biggest concern is that we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate government made commitments that they over-promised on and now they want to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and irresponsible,” repeating his prediction that the global market is swimming in gas and will never support huge greenfield projects across B.C. For the investors, it’s like a mortgage. There are “subjects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36 billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and shipping facilities. This isn’t just a political dispute. For example, Progress has drilled about 500 gas wells in northeastern B.C., and Petronas took it over with this development in mind. Without exports, B.C.’s whole gas industry is looking at a bleak future of low prices and demand. Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election

Many ways to make better use of airpark land Dear editor, I was delighted to read the editorial regarding future use of the air park. It has been a unique feature of Courtenay during the final cycle of the first 100 years. Now, perhaps it is time to think of the next century. It would be possible to honour that phase of Courtenay’s development but “recycle” the park for another purpose. This summer an outdoor concert is scheduled (Strathcona Symphony) that is exactly what is needed. Comox Valley very much needs a large conference centre because meeting space is so limited for growing organizations. It could be combined with arts and cultural events that encourage what already is an expanding dynamic that makes an economic contribution. At this time, the single engine air traffic is 50 per cent “from away” and controlled by the airport, operating only during daylight. That is not an efficient use for one of the prime real estate sites within the city. The trend is toward protecting the estuary, appreciating its biodiversity and as a recreational site. Let’s also encourage the small businesses that provide service to tourists and local users - think about the clam shell shaped Deep Bay Research Centre as one example. We could have a multipurpose “green” attractive site that is the envy of Canadians living elsewhere! Go for a gold medal, Courtenay! Betty Donaldson Courtenay

Let’s put Courtenay airpark dangers into perspective

Dear editor, I am writing in regards to the edito-

rial Dangers of inner-city airstrips are real, published in the 19 May edition of the Comox Valley Record. I am an aviation consultant with 38 years of flying experience and I operate an aircraft from the Courtenay Airpark. The editor’s opinion that the airstrip dangers are “real” is not, in itself, incorrect, but it lacks an assessment of the risk. Clearly, there is a risk, and the Transport Canada publication, Aerodrome Standards and Recommended Practices (Land Aerodromes) deals with risk assessment. The editor’s opinion that the playground’s lateral distance from the runway is an “illogical argument” is not supported by airport standards. In fact, the current location of the playground, 75 metres south of the runway centreline, and 100 metres from the runway threshold places it well beyond the airport obstacle limitation surfaces for the type of aircraft using this airfield. Yes, a number of unfortunate aircraft have run off the end of the runway and impacted the fence over the years, but these aircraft were decelerated, at the time of impact. If one is to realistically assess danger and risk one should likewise consider the logic in locating Rotary Skypark 50 metres from a road, and adjacent to a path used by bikes and dog walkers. I would like to close with a final thought: the owner of a flying school at Courtenay Airpark, successfully flew thousands of times into and out of the airstrip, with no-time and low-time pilots. His flying career was ended after his accident. He was hit by a car when walking home from the airpark. Life is full of dangers but our correct assessment of the risk keeps it real. To quote Goethe: “The dangers of life are infinite, and among them is safety.”

Read up on Harper’s agenda before the federal election

Dear editor, On May 19, CBC News highlighted the “muzzling of federal scientists” by the Harper government. This is not a recent phenomenon but finally a fisheries biologist, Steve Campana, can speak the truth, because he is retired. The election this year gives us an opportunity to think about the kind of government we want and whether we value democracy, transparency, accountability, freedom speech, and the environment. Recent newsletters that have arrived in our mailboxes from our Conservative MPs, tell us only the good news stories but make no mention of the controversies: Enbridge pipeline, coastal oil tankers, CSIS activities, Bill C51. If you want to be more informed about the Harper agenda, read Mark Bourrie’s book, Kill the Messengers: Stephen Harper’s Assault on Your Right to Know (2015). Bourrie is an awarding winning journalist, holds a PhD in Canadian media and military history and does his homework. He sites all his references, a solid factual account of what’s been happening in Ottawa. You won’t be bored – chapter titles include Frat Boys and Cheerleaders, House of Clowns, and Baffle Them with B..S. The library has a copy but the book is worth every penny. Please be an informed voter! We need a change and we can make it happen. Patricia Foster Courtenay

Fire investigators study the aftermath of the fire, looking for clues.

PHOTO BY Erin Haluschak

Fire: ‘Tragic reminder of the serious risks involved in the production of illegal drugs’ Continued from Page 1 “It ended up that they were pieces of articles of clothing that were still on fire. My wife said there were three people that jumped into a truck. She said she’ll never forget the screams that she heard.” Const. Don Sinclair noted the three men - aged 25, 28 and 29 years old - are all from the Comox Valley and remain hospitalized in serious to critical condition. They were not previously known to police. “This is a tragic reminder of the serious risks involved in the production of illegal drugs,” he added. “We cannot stress enough to anyone considering this sort of activity to think of the pain and anguish these three men and their families now face, and reconsider their plans.” The men drove themselves to St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox. Two men were then airlifted Friday night to Victoria-area hospitals, and one man was air-

lifted overnight to a Vancouver-area hospital. Police said no further details on their medical status will be released, to protect their privacy. Witnesses at the scene Friday describe multiple explosions, and Melissa Thompson, who lives behind the home, placed a 9-1-1 call after the bangs, which knocked photos off her wall and shook her computer. Courtenay Fire Chief Don Bardonnex said the residence caught fire quickly. “The house went from nothing to most of the exterior of the house … and went up in a second,” he noted, and added both sides of the duplex sustained major damage. While the fire is still under investigation, Sinclair explained Monday police are confident the three men were the only ones at the residence at the time, and the other half of the duplex was unoccupied. “The residents of the building were not there at the time,” he noted, and added the investigation continues

as to the relationship between the men and the residents. Saturday, RCMP were granted a search warrant under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act, and Sinclair noted investigators found “a lot of debris in the backyard including multiple cylinders.” He added the cylinders did contain butane, and the house is reported to be structurally unsound after the explosion and subsequent fire; it will require assessment for safety and rehabilitation. Police will be conducting inquiries with the landlord to find out who rented the house, but Sinclair urged the public to step forward whenever they suspect any illegal activity in their neighbourhood. “They call it clandestine labs for a reason - because they’re secret. Unless someone starts talking about them, or someone sees something and they call us, we don’t learn about them.”

Brief explanation of butane hash oil Record staff

Butane hash oil is not a new phenomenon, but it has gained popularity in recent years. Simply put, BHO is a concentrated cannabis extract made by pushing liquid butane through a tube packed with marijuana buds. When pushed through the tube, the liquid butane has a chemical reaction with the buds, dissolving them to produce a solution of cannabinoids, waxes, and oil. The wax solution is then evaporated and what remains is a texture that varies from a glass-like form, to oil. BHO can be called honey, erl, hash oil, hon-

eycomb, honey toast, wax, shatter, glass, whip, comb, ‘tane, among other names. One of the reasons for the increased popularity in BHO of late is that it can be discreetly smoked through vape pens (a sort of e-cigarette), for a near odourless high, as opposed to the pungent and easily identifiable smell that a typical marijuana joint produces. Among the numerous BHO-related explosions and fires reported in North America, an 18-year-old Chilliwack man died while making hash oil in his bedroom, in 2009. The explosion left him with burns to 40 per cent of his body. He died two days after suffering the burns. - With files from medicalmarijuana.com

Hospital to source veges locally As Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee joined California in declaring a statewide drought emergency, St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox joined a pilot program to source vegetables locally. “For the first time in many years, patients, students and longterm care residents will be served a selection of farm fresh produce, within 24 hours of harvesting,” said Sandra Hamilton, project lead for FEED Comox Valley. FEED (Food, Environment and Economic Development) is one of eight J.W. McConnell Family Foundation projects to increase the supply of local food in Canadian public institutions. The pilot project started six months ago at North Island College. It now includes St. Joe's and Glacier View Lodge. “For over 100 years our values have been deeply rooted in serving the community," said Jane Murphy, hospital CEO. "FEED Comox Valley is helping us build relationships with food producers in the Comox Valley.” “Farm direct models, like FEED, provide fresh produce to NIC and health care facilities while supporting fair prices and stable markets for B.C. farmers,” NIC

Washington’s Department of Agriculture projects a $1.2 billion drought-related crop loss this year. Low-value staples such as broccoli and lettuce will be lost as precious water resources are re-directed to higher value crops, such as cherries and grapes. Droughts, combined with an unfavourable U.S. exchange rate, threaten the resiliency of U.S. dependent supply chains — but they also make it increasingly viable for B.C. vegetable farmers to support the institutional food

market. Brent Mansfield, director of the BC Food Systems Network, hopes food security initiatives such as FEED will expand to other communities. “FEED Comox Valley demonstrates local food can supply public institutions," he said. "It has the potential to offer stability to local farmers, making it increasingly viable for the next generation to continue in agriculture.” The model gives small farm businesses an opportunity to bid on food supply contracts at taxpayer-funded institutions. It also aligns with the spirit of the B.C. government’s Small Business Accord, aimed at improving small business access to government contracts. Food is grown locally and distributed

Best Country Music Jamboree Ever For the fifth year in succession, the Evergreen Club will be hosting a country music fundraiser in support of the Sonshine Lunch Program at St. George’s United Church. This year’s concert is titled “The Best Country Music Jamboree Ever” and promises to be the show of all shows. The jamboree is organized and MCed by the Evergreen Club’s own Ken MacLeod. If you are a country music fan who loves to support a good DENNY EDDY cause, then this one’s for you. The Sonshine Lunch Club is under the leadership of Martin Davies and feeds up to 200 people, Monday to Friday, at St. George’s Church. This year’s show features the ‘Nightingale of the Comox Valley’ Jacqueline Lambeth, doing some Patsy Cline/LeAnn Rimes numbers, along with B.C. country icon Denny Eddy of Coombs doing some Merle Haggard (and other country favourites). Eddy is a two-time winner of the BC Country Music

Association Entertainer of the Year. Dave Perry will also be showcasing his talent with his tribute to Canadian country music. A special treat this year will be the introduction of eight-year-old Emma Casavant, who recently wowed fans at the Evergreen Club’s play Picnic in 1915. Along with the featured artists, the show will feature Glen Hiebert (fiddle), Bob Casavant (vocals and rhythm guitar), Art McMartin (mandolin and fiddle), Ray Ledoux (electric bass), Ed Medford (guitar and fiddle), Doris Weislein (vocals), George Bentham (vocals), Irene Tomchick (vocals), and Bob Mainwaring (steel guitar). Showtime is 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 31 at the Florence Filberg Centre. Doors will open at 1 p.m. Tickets for this show are $10 and are available at the Filberg Centre (or at the door if still available). For more Jackie Lambeth will be singing tunes made famous by some of the information call 250-3381000 or check out the web- biggest names in country music. PHOTO SUBMITTED site evergreenclub.me

Cam Penner returns to the Valley for show in Cumberland Cam Penner was a hit at last year’s MusicFest. Find out why, Friday night at the Cumberland Hotel. Penner will be sharing the stage with Jon Wood for the next MusicFest Concert Series show, in support of Penner’s fifth release, To Build a Fire. Penner’s music comes straight from his life experiences, which are many. At 18, he left small town life to wander the highways and back roads of North America. A year later he found himself in Chicago serving mystery soup and stale bread to 250 homeless men a day. Next, a women and children’s shelter, then youth

humanity as he could. When the shift was over he would spend endless cathartic hours writing and playing

his guitar, exorcising his emotions through music. After becoming a self-taught expert on homelessness, he decided to become a fulltime touring artist, meanwhile becoming homeless himself. Penner has carved his own path. Music born from the soil and sin of this world. His struggles in life are resonated in his music. Those experiences can be heard live, at the Cumberland Hotel, Friday night one of only two shows on Vancouver Island during this Western Canada tour. Tickets ($20 plus tax and fee) can be purchased online at bit.ly/1K9HvyE or at the Cumberland Hotel. Showtime is 8 p.m.

SPORTS Mike Manara receives prestigious award Canada West Ski Areas Association has announced Mike Manara (Snow School director at Mount Washington Alpine Resort) as the recipient of the 2015 Lars Fossberg Award. Manara is the 12th annual recipient of this award, which was presented by Troll Resort president Hildur Sinclair. The awards were presented April 28 at the CWSAA 2015 Spring Conference at Whistler. The event was attended by over 400 individuals from the Western Canadian ski industry. CWSAA president and CEO David Lynn congratulated Manara on being the recipient of this prestigious award. He joins a list of highly respected leaders from the Western Canadian ski industry that have been recognized by the association since 1980. “On behalf of the CWSAA board of directors, I would like to congratulate Mike, and also thank him for his outstanding contributions to the Western Canadian ski

industry,” said Steve Paccagnan, CWSAA board chair and president and CEO of Panorama Mountain Resort. After graduating from Bishops University with a double major in business and economics, Manara worked as assistant head coach at Jay Peak in Vermont. He subsequently moved to Jasper, Alta. where he worked as director of skier services at Marmot Basin. He joined Mount Wash-

ington in 2002 as the Snow School director and has over 250 staff in his area with responsibilities for the adult and child snow and board school, the rental shop and the day care. Manara is the founder of the United Riders of Cumberland (UROC), a registered non-profit society that promotes and supports the mountain bike community in the Comox Valley. Through trail advocacy,

volunteerism, promotion of the sport and fundraising, UROC is able to encourage participation for all, as well as maintain and build the local trail infrastructure. “Mike has a passion to help people to learn to ski and board,” a Mount Washington spokesperson said. “In his 13 years here Mike has been instrumental in creating programs like the Rookie Year, the Graduate Pass, the Learn-to-Turn program and the implementation of the Easy Acres beginner area as well as numerous other programs that have helped thousands of people learn to ski and board. “In 2013 Mike was selected as one of the ‘Top 40 under 40’ for his community and professional work in the Comox Valley. Mike is married to Mariah and has a beautiful daughter, Delilah, who at three years old is already ripping up the mountain with Mike.” – Mount Washington Alpine Resort

The tee and green are sheltered by tall trees so it is hard to feel the direction of the wind but there is always a breeze at Glacier Greens!!

Local bowlers win big at Anderton Triples

What a superb weekend at the Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club! The Anderton Nurseries Mixed Triples event (May 16-18) had a full house of 32 teams

from all over the Island. The weather could not have been better, the green was fast and the food was fabulous. The fact that two Courtenay teams won all four of their games and had

to play a best two-ofthree end playoff was just icing on the cake. Dan and Gaynor Bereza with Mark Rossiter were the winners over Vern Greenhill, Henri Saucier and Melie

Ursulom in that playoff which was enthusiastically cheered on by a large crowd of other tournament participants. The shot making was truly great. Having secured the top two spots, the Courtenay club presented third place to Rick Quibell, Mary Mullins and Lynn Chwartecki of the Nanaimo club for three wins and one tie, and fourth, fifth and sixth went to

teams from Nanaimo, Qualicum and Parksville with three wins, and that placement was determined by ends won. Bowlers seem to definitely prefer that winners be decided on the green, as with that playoff. There is still room for new bowlers; stop by when the green is showing action or phone and leave a message at 250-3388222. – Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club

CV Yacht Club info session Saturday

The Comox Valley Yacht Club (CVYC) will hold its annual information session Saturday, May 30 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Comox Valley Marina site near the Harbour Air office in Comox. This year we have been invited to be part of the Comox Valley Marina ‘Boaters Exchange Extravaganza’. CVYC is a fun-loving group of people with boats of all sizes and descriptions. They all share a love of the water. Members can go on planned group summer cruises whether they have a power boat or sailboat. We have power and sail boats in the fleet, from 17- to 51-feet and all levels of experience. Our members are interested in exploring, learning, socializing, and sharing ‘all things boating’. Therefore, if you have a boat, love boating, and want to share or acquire information about sailing the wonderful waters that surround us, come to check us out and ask questions of the members who will be on hand. In conjunction with BC Parks, the club is a steward of Sandy Island (Tree Island). Club members do an annual spring cleanup of the park, and act as marine park hosts during summer weekends. Any potential new members are invited to attend a social event later in the day and will be eligible for a prize draw.
