K’ómoks Band preparing for Walking With Our Sisters exhibit ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com
A commemorative exhibit honoring missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls across Canada and the U.S. will be in the Comox Valley for two weeks this summer. The Walking With Our Sisters (WWOS) Commemorative Art Installation will be displayed from July 31 to Aug. 15 at the K’ómoks Band Hall. The exhibit features 1,810 pairs of handmade moccasin tops created by more than 1,400 people. The beaded and embellished tops collectively form a collaborative art piece. Symbolically, the unfinished moccasins represent the unfinished lives of the women and girls. “We’ve been working on this for a number of years,” said Ramona Johnson, a member of the WWOS K’ómoks committee. The group has been fundraising to cover numerous costs, including the transport of items for display and the sacred bundle. In Canada, it is estimated that more than 1,810 First Nations women and girls have gone missing or have been murdered between 1980 and 2012. Many have vanished without a trace. The memorial and accompanying ceremonies acknowledge the grief families are experiencing. Several community conversations are planned: •First Nation Storytelling by Cree Elder Phil Umpherville. June 6 from 1–2 p.m. at the K’ómoks Big House. Free for all ages.

Check watering times
The watering schedule times were incorrectly published in last week’s Record notification of stage two water restrictions. The Comox Valley Regional District implemented stage two water restrictions, effective June 1. Stage two means residents may use a sprinkler to water a lawn only under these restrictions: an even numbered address, on Tuesday and Saturday between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. an odd numbered address, on Wednesday and Sunday between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Watering a lawn using a sprinkler may not be done outside these days and times. Stage two water restrictions apply to areas serviced by the Comox Valley local water system which includes the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, the Arden, Comox Valley, England Road, Marsden/Camco and Greaves Crescent local water service areas.

YOUR SMILE? We can keep you smiling with confidence! Call us today!
Is love just a four letter word? Love can be viewed as a four-letter word. There are many forms of love: patriotic love, brotherly love, spiritual love, but the most vexing kind is erotic love. So many poets and songwriters have praised its promise of ecstasy and lamented its pain. Love can seem like a four-letter word, but have we ever considered that love may not be a noun, but a verb? Comox psychologist Dr. Frank Young will present several perspectives on this topic, and demonstrate how different parts of our brain are moved by this fascinating emotion. Moderator Peter Schwarzhoff will then open the floor for what looks to be a very engaging topic for a lively discussion at Philosophers’ Cafe. As with each Café, Dr. Young will have just 10 minutes to introduce the topic, and then the floor is open for 50 minutes of moderated discussion. Philosophers’ Cafe goes Wednesday, June 3 at Berwick Comox Valley, community room (1700 Comox Ave., Comox), from 7-8 p.m.
Growers and Seed Savers AGM
The Comox Valley Growers and Seed Savers’ June 4 monthly meeting will also be the club’s annual general meeting. Following the AGM, join medical herbalist Chanchal Cabrera who will present on the Royal Botanical Garden’s “Millennium Seed Bank”, the world’s largest repository of seeds. The 2015 Comox Valley squash winner and future candidates will be distributed to growers. Check out our website www.CVGSS.org for more information on our speaker and other Seed Saver activities. Following the meeting refreshments will be served. The meeting is held at Creekside Commons, 2202 Lambert Street. Admission is by donation for nonmembers. As parking on site is limited, please park on Lambert. Please bring slippers. Direct questions to Sylvain Alie at 250-336-8632.

Bike to School Week grows LAWN SPRINKLING RESTRICTIONS NOW IN EFFECT
■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com
STAGE 2 The students and staff at Huband Elementary got quite involved for Bike to Work Week. The “biking school bus” started with 12 students on Monday and by midweek the number had doubled.

to Valley View students. “iRide has really raised the active travel to school – and I hope it continues,” principal Erica Black said. Active transportation – walking, biking, inline skating, scootering and skateboarding — presents an opportunity to
improve health among children. According to Active Healthy Kids Canada, if school children walked each trip of less than one kilometre, they would take an average of 2,238 additional steps per day. This translates into 15–20 minutes of walking, which would contribute to the
“
hour of daily physical activity children need for overall health. “So if parents are saying convenience as the main reason they don’t actively commute, Bike to School and Work Week is a chance for them to conveniently commute and be healthy together,” Holmes said.
Watering times: 4am to 9am and 7pm to 10pm Even numbered addresses on Tuesday / Saturday Odd numbered addresses on Wednesday / Sunday Restrictions apply to residents living in the Town of Comox, the City of Courtenay and the Arden, Comox Valley, England Road, Marsden/Camco, Greaves Crescent, and Black Creek-Oyster Bay local water service areas.
“
Responding to concerns about speeding traffic, volunteers initiated a biking school bus at Huband Park Elementary last week during Bike to School Week. “Basically everybody on their bike is riding from their homes together across Huband Road and then to the school,” SD71 sustainability co-ordinator Angela Holmes said. “It’s been a big success.” Bike to School Week coincided with Bike to Work Week, aimed at getting commuters out of their cars and onto two wheels. Holmes implemented a Student Travel Planning process that built on last year’s pilot project that was designed to increase the safety of students who were actively travelling to school. Participating schools were Huband Park, École Puntledge Park and École Robb Road. Valley View Elementary, Cumberland Community School and Miracle Beach Elementary came on board this year. A survey gathered data to determine how families travel to school, and to identify barriers such as traffic congestion, speed and lack of crosswalks. Convenience is among the top reasons people drive their children to school. Seventy per cent of respondents at Valley View live within 1.6 kilometres yet more than half drive to school each day. The Cycling BC iRide program teamed with the Comox Valley Cycling Coalition to bring bike handling and road safety skills
Stage two will remain in effect until further notice. For updated information on the current restrictions including the bylaw, visit www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/restrictions Follow comoxvalleyrd

Homelessness questionnaire debated by city council ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com
The regional district has forwarded a questionnaire to local governments to help the CVRD board determine whether a specific regional service should be established to address homelessness, based on the results of the non-binding referendum presented at the 2014 civic elections. Responding to the questionnaire at its last council meeting, Courtenay Council favoured David Frisch’s motion to sup-
port and participate in such a service. Erik Erikkson was opposed. While it’s clear people support the idea of helping the homeless, Erikkson is reluctant to support the service, or process, until he knows exactly what it will entail. Bob Wells, on the other hand, considers the questionnaire to be the “next step” that answers questions concerning the issue. “I’m quite excited to see this as a turning point,” he said, noting the inaction of senior governments concerning homelessness. Council also supports a maximum tax rate of five cents per $1,000 of assessed property
value should a service be estab- to $15 for a home assessed at lished. Valley-wide, this would $300,000 - an option not given generate about on the referendum $504,000 per year. question.

“troublesome.” Rebecca Lennox considers the amounts small compared to the prices of policing and medical. “We already pay a huge amount of money through having such a high homelessness situation,” she said. A district report notes that homelessness-related costs to taxpayers are felt in such areas as law enforcement, the legal system, health care and shelter. City CAO David Allen reminded council that the questionnaire relates to a policy decision at this point. Its results are to be presented at the CVRD committee of the whole meeting June 23.

Restoration plans of Project Watershed to be detailed at AGM The Comox Valley Project Watershed Society will hold its 22nd annual general meeting on Thursday, June 4 at North Island College, 3:30 p.m. in the Komoux boardroom. “This year’s meeting will feature a brief description of major stewardship project plans for the next five years including a kelp restoration project in the estuary which started this spring, a preview
of our interactive estuary map which will be released this year, an overview of our Air Park Lagoon Breach Project which will start in a few weeks, and our long-term vision to restore the old Field site to its natural state with walking trails, lookouts and cycling paths,” reports Paul Horgen, board chair. An historic Memorandum of Understanding between the college and Project Watershed
will be signed at the meeting, to allow both parties to work together on projects and provide NIC students with opportunities to involve themselves in restoration, mapping and blue carbon projects in the estuary. “This special AGM is an opportunity for Comox Valley residents to look into the future and see how co-operative efforts can benefit our community and its beauti-
ful environment,” says Christine Hodgson, NIC retiring biology chair and lead scientist on Project Watershed’s Blue Carbon project. She will give the keynote talk on the two-year efforts of this project funded by the Commission for Environmental Co-operation, a Canadian, Mexican and American

Disappearing not a game
L
ast week the Comox Valley RCMP published two separate press releases concerning missing teenage girls in the Comox Valley. The files were posted on May 25. Fortunately, both teens were reported safe and sound, three days later. That’s the good news. The bad news is that there has been a spike in similar such “disappearances” in society of late. It surrounds a new “game” teens are playing, called the Game of 72. We aren’t suggesting that the two Comox Valley girls were playing this new game; we are only bringing to light the newest online fad. The game, which allegedly began on Facebook, challenges teens to vanish for three days. Now, three days off the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram is actually a healthy concept, for any of us. But this is more than that. This game calls for players to completely vanish, without a trace. Skip school, don’t come home. Don’t advise your parents, friends, or anyone else where you are. It is, essentially, hide and seek, only 72 hours long – and that’s extremely dangerous, for many reasons. First and foremost, the child’s safety comes into play. Disappearing for 72 hours entails one of two things – either complete seclusion, or a change of environment. A change of environment means a departure from all things familiar, and in that regard, there are far too many people in this world waiting to prey on children who find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Apparently that’s part of the thrill of the “game”, but the bigger thrill is the mayhem caused by the so-called disappearance. The more panic caused by the disappearance, the more points gained. Missing persons report? Points scored. Local media reporting on it? Points scored. Public plea by parents on TV or internet? Points scored. Gone are the days of kids playing Knock, Knock Ginger (a.k.a. Nicky, Nicky Nine Doors), hopscotch, or raiding gardens for kicks. Now it’s only real fun if others are hurt. And don’t for a moment think this game is harmless. Any parent who has ever lost a child, even in a mall for 30 seconds, knows there’s no such thing as a harmless prank involving missing children. We hope the two Comox Valley teens were not playing this game, because the more often something like this happens, the more desensitized society becomes. Then, when the time comes to broadcast a bona fide disappearance, it’s harder to get the point across. Consider this a public service announcement for any parents who were unaware of this new “game”. Talk to your children about the repercussions they might not even realize; about the dangers surrounding the game, and the hurt they will invoke. Then teach them hopscotch. –TF
All too often, issues of great importance in the Comox Valley are foreshadowed by conversations on the national stage. One issue I am heavily involved with is recovery from the disease of addiction. To most Canadians, this phrase is misunderstood. Even those within the criminology profession and addiction treatment field often debate the issue. As an expert in the fields of addiction and criminology, I was proud to be appointed to BC’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Crime Reduction, which concluded in December. In January, I participated in a summit in Ottawa hosted by the federal government and the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA), which for the first time signed the National Commitment to Recovery from the Disease of Addic-
per cent of Canada’s population; nearly every household in Canada has a direct or near-direct relative affected by addiction, whether they are aware of it or not. Addiction also contributes greatly to crime, affecting health, policing, court services, and community businesses. This ultimately raises taxes and consumer costs. With such wide-ranging effects on individuals, families, and communities, I urge everyone to read the CCSA definition, learn more about addictions as a disease, and realize recovery is possible. By better understanding the disease, we can all help those suffering to regain their lives and be positive members of society. To read the National Commitment to Recovery from the Disease of Addiction in Canada, and its full definition of recovery, visit the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse at www.ccsa.ca.

tion in Canada, and clearly defined the word recovery as it relates to addiction. Recovery, according to the CCSA website, “is a process of action that addresses the biological, psychological, social and spiritual disturbances inherent in addiction. Recovery aims to improve the quality of life by seeking balance and healing in all aspects of health and wellness, while addressing an individual’s consistent pursuit of abstinence, impairment in behavioral control, dealing with cravings, recognizing problems in one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships, and dealing more effectively with emotional responses.” While the national commitment signed in Ottawa is only two pages long, its implications are immense and timely. It creates a new vision of what addiction recovery means in Canada and sets up a positive vision for collaborative, stigma-free services and support for people going through the recovery process. Addiction affects us all. The disease touches approximately eight

Harper our best choice in next federal election
Dear editor, You get lots of letters on dumping the Conservatives and the Harper government,but never an alternative. You want Mulcair, I don’t think so, locally we are still trying to clean up the mess the Provincial NDP created on their way out. In my opinion, a federal NDP government would be a disaster for the economy. So, you suggest the Liberals and Trudeau, he has to grow up a bit more before that can even be considered. Look at all the NDP people elected in Quebec In the last federal election, or more recently in Alberta. They elected a bunch of people with no experience or ideas on how to govern. Already, Alberta has kicked out one new member before they even got into power. So YES, think and read before you vote. I would be the first to agree that Harper does not represent the ideal administration, but as of now, is the best of what we have to choose from. Paul Ellegood Area B

Should the Courtenay Airpark be moved from its current location to a more rural area?
yes
6.3% no 93.7%
Dear editor, Why is our Prime Minister refusing to participate in the national televised debates with the other leaders, as per usual? What is Stephen Harper afraid of? Why is Stephen Harper disrespecting Canadian voters and the leaders of the other political parties? Perhaps Harper simply doesn’t want to be accountable to others in a public place for his actions and failures these past few years. Perhaps Stephen Harper doesn’t
want to answer questions about the Duffy scandal, the mess which was made of Veteran Affairs, the suicides by Armed Forces personnel; the lack of equipment for the RCMP; his harassment/auditing of charities who disagree with him; his failure to provide adequate coast guard protection and communication on the west coast, the $30 billion cut to health care in 2017. In 2005 Stephen Harper is quoted, “My instinct is when somebody doesn’t answer questions, even simple and fairly innocuous questions in a straight forward manner, there maybe something else.” Well Steve, what else is going on? Why don’t you want to answer some questions along with Elizabeth May, Thomas Mulcair, and Justin Trudeau? It’s not like Trudeau is asking you to get in the ring and go a few rounds like Brazeau. E. A. Foster Comox
Lorne public hearing result disappointing but predictable
Dear editor, I’m so disappointed in the outcome of the public hearing into the new building on the site of the former Lorne Hotel, but not really surprised. The citizens of this community were very clear about the changes they wished to see made, but the developer chose to apply some minor cosmetic changes rather than to open his mind to other possibilities. As disappointed as I am by this, it really isn’t the developer’s responsibility to please the citizens. As long as he follows the code set out by the town council, he can build whatever he pleases. No, the issue is that there is no vision for this community and no framework to bring this vision to the developers. Derek Constantino put forth that
developers will not build in Comox if they have restrictions on what they can build, but is this what we are really asking for? Can we not work together as citizens with the very creative profession of architecture to encourage developers to find a vision for this community? Would they not benefit from public support? Would the community not benefit from development? Why must this be a fight instead of mutual support? This development will go ahead (council voted 4-2 in favour of it May 20), but we need to find the will to make sure that we, as citizens, find a way to put pressure on the council to address our concerns. The only way to create change is to be vocal, so please, please, take the time to get involved. It only takes a few minutes to send an email or to make a phone call. Corinne Bainard Comox
Yes, it is time to move the air park from its current location
Dear editor, Yes it is time to move the air park! The area has built up considerably. It is no longer a safe place for an airport. The recent crash on Dyke Road highlights this perfectly. Redevelop it. Include some more park space and housing. Tighten up the downtown living area, and enhance its community friendly environment! Also need to consider rezoning and redevelopment along Fitzgerald. The road is already wide enough for four lanes, got to get away from endless hack and slash expansion development. That is destroying what makes this Valley so desirable in the first place! Tony Ackland Comox

The new City Hall was built in 2000 on property that had once been a Ford dealership. Fire destroyed other Courtenay landmarks including the Fechner Building at the corner of Fifth and Cliffe, the Riverside Hotel and the Palace Theatre — originally built as the EW Theatre in 1940. Over the years, Burns recalls the parades and characters — such as Wong Chee, the man with an assortment of headgear who would ride his bike along Fifth shouting at pedestrians in his path and using his ‘vociferous voice’ to direct traffic — who brought downtown Courtenay to life.

“It’s been the centre of everything,” Burns said. “A lot of history. During the war, the army used to come in. The Slough was where they kept the landing barges. They brought all the different units for training before they sent them overseas before D-Day.” Former mayor Ron Webber is chairing a committee that has organized a host of events to celebrate Courtenay’s centennial year. Homecoming Week, which spans 10 days June 26 to July 5, marks the pinnacle of the celebrations. The week begins with a sports festival and tailgate party at the Sports Centre June 27. Further activities include free nightly concerts at Simms Millennium Park, and six neighbourhood block parties on the final day. Courtenay’s own Red Robinson will be the honorary Canada Day parade marshall July 1. That morning, Freedom of the City presentations will be held at City Hall. “We’re going to be re-honoring the Scottish Regiment and HMCS Quadra and 19 Wing Comox,” committee member Randy Wiwchar said. “We’ll be reconfirming their citizenship just to show our longterm history and partnership with the military.” The celebrations include Citizens of the Century Awards that honour volunteers — past or present — for outstanding contri-

butions since the City’s incorporation. Recipients will be announced July 4 at the fireworks symphony concert at the Airpark. The committee, which has received more than 350 nominations, anticipates 300-plus people will be honoured. A few fall events are in the works, including a finale and a volunteer appreciation night. “The one unique thing about our centennial is it’s not just one event, we’ve been doing things all year long,” Wiwchar said. “That’s the key. We started off Dec. 31 and we’ll probably be running activities all year long. Besides the centennial committee, we have a bunch of community partners running events as well.” Groups such as Elevate the Arts, the Sid Williams Theatre Society, the art gallery, the museum and the Arts Council have received some of the $93,800 that the federal government chipped in to support the celebrations. Proceeds from centennial celebrations will be added to a legacy endowment that will be donated to the Comox Valley Community Foundation, which will direct money to fund programs that specifically support youth.

Courtenay woman spearheads organizational assessment Dawn Ringrose is serious about helping organizations achieve excellence. The Courtenay-based management consultant represents Canada on the Organizational Excellence Technical Committee, a small group comprised of some of the world’s top professionals that has launched a global assessment on the state of worldwide organizational excellence. While the study promises to shed light on the extent to which organizations are implementing best management practices to improve performance, it also offers all organizations an opportunity to see how they measure up – and where they can improve. “To be able to provide such a unique opportunity to leaders from across industry sectors and geographical regions is very exciting,” says Ringrose. “I anticipate economic development agencies will also be very interested, as there is a positive relationship between improving organizational performance, the economy
dawn ringrose and quality of life for all residents.” Ringrose is also the founder of Organizational Excellence Specialists, an independent Canadian third-party that will be compiling and analyzing assessment results, and the author of the Organizational Excellence Framework, upon which the assessment tool is based. Drawing upon 25 years of research, Ringrose’s framework compiles and integrates global excellence models and provides a how-to guide for implementation. Organizations that have employed these excellence models, she says, have benefitted from increased employee engagement, sound governance and stronger financial results. “Organizational excellence involves using the best management practices
that have been proven to improve performance,” she said. “These practices are employed by the highest-performing organizations and lead to a culture focused on excellence; this appraisal now aims to measure the extent to which they’re in place in other organizations worldwide.” All organizations, agencies and business leaders are invited to participate in the assessment. The evaluation takes 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Participants can join the Organizational Excellence Technical Committee group on LinkedIn to receive a summary of aggregate results. Anyone interested in an additional confi-
dential report detailing where they stand and how they can improve can email dawn@organizationalexcellencespecialists.ca. “These results will benefit the global business community,” says Ringrose. “This assessment captures the essence of an organization, an industry sector or a geographical region at a specific window in time and lays the foundation for future success.” Responses are confidential. Only aggregate data is reported. To participate in the assessment, visit bit.ly/1HxLfwp. The publication is available free of charge at bit.ly/1SkkkYb.

THE
Campbell River Artist Charlotte Deptford is presenting a collection of her favourite acrylic and watercolor paintings at the Pearl Ellis Gallery in Comox, June 2-22. She has created an exhibition of great variety and beauty depicting a love of her environment. From the first stroke of the brush she is creating what she feels and hopes will depict a moment in time, a story perhaps, that others can be a part of. From her humble beginnings in Alberta where she was raised on a cattle farm, with her seven brothers and sisters, she developed a keen love and respect for nature. Her farm life taught her that nature is a finetuned balancing act as well as a force not to be reckoned with. Her belief is that the earth, like children, is only borrowed. It needs to be nurtured, loved and cared for, as well as enjoyed. In her mid-30s, Deptford

Burns heats up the Avalanche Malcolm Holt Special to The Record

This week the Georgia Strait Jazz Society returns to something cool and laid back in a comfortable lounge atmosphere. We’re excited to add another new artist to our 2015 season, as Zandra Burns takes the stage at The Avalanche Bar this Thursday. “Julie London was an American jazz and pop singer and actress. She was noted for her smoky, sensual voice and languid demeanour,” Zandra told me in a recent discussion. “When I first heard her songs, including Cry Me a River, I’m in the Mood for Love, and You and the Night and the Music, I knew my goal was to become a jazz singer. “That, together with years of listening to the style of Ella Fitzgerald, made me realize that I was inspired by the great jazz divas from the 30s, 40s and 50s, and discovered my passion for jazz. I enjoy offering something nostalgic and elegant for my audi-

ence. Melding different styles together under the broad term ‘jazz’ proves to be most appropriate for me.” And so Zandra’s life is following that goal; she’s currently attending the jazz program at VIU, and intends to pursue her career as a jazz singer. As with so many others from VIU, we’re the lucky people who get to listen to them ply their art before they become well known. This Thursday, Zandra performs with Ken Lister on bass and Jesse Marshall, a recent graduate of the VIU jazz program, on guitar.

Sharpe is CFSA rookie of the year
SPORTS
The honours keep coming for Cassie Sharpe. The Canadian Freestyle Ski Association (CFSA) announced their inaugural Athlete Performance Awards on May 28 in Vancouver, and the Comox halfpipe competitor was named Female High Performance Rookie of the Year. “In her first season on the national team, Sharpe won, among other things, a FIS World Championship silver medal and a FIS World Cup,” the CFSA noted in a press release. SHARPE The awards are a result of the renewed commitment to high performance made possible by the support given to the team by Michael Wekerle thanks to their appearance on Dragons’ Den. “We have the best team in the world and our athletes deserve to be recognized at the end of the season for all their hard work,” said Bruce Robinson, chief executive officer of the CFSA. – Canadian Freestyle Skiing Association

Road Runners rock at Ottawa race Four of the Comox Valley’s top runners competed against some of the best in the country in this year’s Ottawa Marathon, held May 24. This was the 41st annual edition of the race, which bills itself as the largest in the country. There were over 5,800 marathoners toeing the line on a warm spring day for a brisk running tour of many of the highlights of the Ottawa/Gatineau area. While the runners started at 7 a.m. with near perfect temperatures of 13 degrees Celsius, the mercury climbed throughout the morning to a spirit-wilting 20-plus degrees that challenged even the toughest athlete. The relentless
rolling hills added further obstacles along the 42.2 km route. One of the highlights of the weekend’s events was a Canadian record set by our very own Roslyn Smith. She totally dominated the F6569 age group, finishing first and beating her nearest competitor by over two hours. She set the Canadian record of 3:44:37 in the process. A CVRR club spokesperson noted that Roz has been training exceptionally hard, with many hours of long training miles and that the record is well deserved by this exceptional athlete. Local mega-marathoner Janet Green showed that she still has speed in her

legs as she also finished first in her age group, winning F6064 in a stellar time of 3:56:24. Other competitors must have wondered where these superstars from Comox came from, as Janet also totally crushed her competition, finishing more than one hour in front of her nearest competitor. Not to be outdone, Danny Keyes, a fast rising star on the masters’ running scene, had another huge performance, making it look almost routine as he broke the magical three-hour barrier in the marathon for the second time in succession, finishing in 2:58:25. That was good enough for seventh place out of 388 in the very competitive M5054
age group and 136th overall. “Look for big things ahead for Mr. Keyes,” a CVRR spokesperson said. Falling closely behind Danny was local veteran Wayne Crowe (Extreme Runners/Asics). He showed a great deal of mental toughness as he battled through to finish a respectable fourth M5559 and 227 overall. Keep an eye out for CVRR runners at a number of events coming up on the local scene, including the Country Roads Marathon and Half Marathon on June 13, The Fifth Street Mile July 1 and the Nautical Days Four Miler Aug. 3. – Comox Valley Road Runners

Try to aim at the left fairway bunker on your lay-up that should end up about 100 yards from the green. This allows for a short shot to a very shallow green that slopes right to left and front to back. Par is a good score here. Bill Kelly Head Golf Professional

I’m definitely coming back next year!” Competitive taekwondo is a contact sport, so there is always a risk of injury, however, tournament organizers, officials and masters will always do their best to ensure a positive experience for the athletes.

In port race added to Van Isle 360 With a record number of skippers and crews – 450 and counting – the 2015 Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race is ready to set sail. The 10th edition of the yacht race around Vancouver Island has dropped the second stop of the circumnavigation at French Creek, so after the boats leave Nanaimo on June 6 they will be heading straight to Comox. Also new this year, the finish line has been moved from the Comox Marina entrance to an area between Chrome Island near the southwest tip of Denman Island and the Vancouver Island shore. “There should be excellent viewing for boats finishing during the day,” race officials note. “RCMSAR stations 60 and 59 will be available to escort any boats that require assistance to the Comox Harbour. We expect most boats to be parking during darkness.” With the Comox stopover extended to two days, the Comox Bay Sailing Club has organized an inshore race of approximately

“where your family comes first”
In loving memory
Comox BC Sadly we have to say good-bye to a wonderful and loving husband, father, and grandpa. We will forever remember Fred’s laugh, smile, sense of humour, and love of sweets. He always liked a good game of cards, enjoyed bowling, golfing, ball, and hockey. Fred was born in Comox and raised in Hilliers where he started his working career as a faller. He re-enlisted in the Air Force in 1958 retiring in 1979. Fred leaves behind his loving wife, Ruby, of nearly 58 years, sons Donald, Robert (Cheryl), granddaughter Megan, brothers Gerald (Marg), Stan (Diane), Charles (Heather) and sister Bet (Ray). He was predeceased by sisters Dorothy and Jeannette. A special thanks to Dr Harris and the VIHA home support team. Fred requested there be no service. Love you Pops xxxxx

“where your family comes first”
Margaret Rose Fitzgerald nee Willis
PERCY (BILL) SOUTHERN
June 24 1920- May 26 2015
JULY 30, 1923 ~ MAY 14, 2015
It is with deep sadness we announce that our Mom, Margaret Rose Fitzgerald passed peacefully surrounded by family on May 26 2015. Predeceased by her husband Dennis, son Alexander and brother Ken Willis. Margaret leaves behind her two sisters Eileen Gibbs of Bella Coola, and Lilian Cliffe of Nanaimo, children Barry (Colleen) of Campbell River, Mike (Laurie), Myra (Jack) Barnes, Susan (Laurie) Pendergast and Wayne (Jenn) of Courtenay, 12 grandchildren, Brian, Jason (Carey), Ryan, Kari(Ben), Chad (Corey), Dustin (Shannon), Tristan (Carla), Livia (Marc), Nicole (Tyler), Jessica (Ryan), Rachel and Tyler, 17 great grandchildren, Austin, Kellie, Katie, Ayden, Solana, Carson, Lauryn, Claira, Peyton, Alyssa, Allie, Elise, Parker, Noelle, Lily, Penelope and Archer, and one great great granddaughter Areya, as well as many nieces and nephews. Born in Sooke, Margaret came to the Comox Valley at the age of two where her childhood was spent on the Willis family farm located down Williams Beach Road. Mom had a lot of good times on the farm with her brother and sisters and the many life long friends she made growing up in Merville, memories she loved to share, and of course we loved to hear, (the good old days). Married in 1946 Margaret and Dennis lived briefly on Quadra and Texada Islands before settling in Courtenay where they built the family home in 1954. Family meant everything to Mom, a.k.a. “Cookie Granny’’. She was a very good listener and spent many an hour as a sounding board to family and close friends never losing her quick wit, sense of humour and ability to mentor. Mom loved knitting, especially for all the new grandchildren, and her passion for gardening, for which she had an amazing green thumb, continued right into her 95th year. Margaret also enjoyed her time spent volunteering at the Evergreen Seniors Center reconnecting with old childhood friends as well as making new ones.The family would like to thank the caring staff of Courtenay Medical Associates especially Dr. Reggler, Dr. Blacklock and Nurse Susan. Also a big thank you to the wonderful home care workers for all their support and lastly to St. Joseph’s Nurse Vern a very heartfelt family thank you. A Celebration of Life for family and friends will be held June 14th at 2pm at the family home, 2878 Cumberland Rd. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Children’s Variety Club would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations Sean
Frisby Watkins for completing your MBA. Percy Southern passed away peacefully at home with family by his side. Bill was born in Barrow Bridge, Bolton, Lancashire, England, the youngest of seven. They all doted on their baby brother. As a school boy he did very well and graduated to high school at age eleven. Being linguistic he enjoyed French, German and Latin. From high school he went to Chester College in Cheshire, England where he prepared for his teacher training. WWII interrupted their progress and Bill and his school chums joined the war effort in the Royal Air Force Bomber Command. They flew Lancaster Bombers. As the war came to an end they returned to Chester College and Bill graduated to commence his teaching career in Bolton until 1952 when he worked his way by sea to the east coast of Canada. A long train journey across Canada took him to Manning, Alberta. Years of teaching in Alberta finally took him to Comox in 1966 where he was VP at Robb Road School to be followed by the Principalship at Lake Trail to end his teaching career at Airport School in 1987. Bill had many interests particularly growing his wonderful tomatoes, Bolton Wanderers Soccer Club, his garden, fishing, nature, building tool sheds, his dogs and cats, travelling and brass band music to mention a few. Bill too was adventurous and courageous which led to anxious moments for his family in the tree cutting down department. He was fearless. Bill will be sadly and lovingly missed by his children, Archie, Philip, Bryan, Christina and step-daughter Suzanne; daughters-in-law Sharon, Mary and Janice plus grandsons Jeremy, Stephen and Adam. His wife Diane will be forever grateful for a wonderful shared loving life. He is to be blessed. Bill was laid to rest May 23, 2015 and we wish to thank the Reverend Ray Brandon for his most sensitive and eloquent service. We also thank Piercy’s-Mt.Washington Funeral Home for all their care and attention to detail.
It has been a long journey, working and still managing to stay at the top of your class. But you can’t stop there and have now set another goal to complete your Doctorate. Words cannot express how proud we are of you.
Lots of Love from your Family Check here for future Quality Foods Cake Winner
