IN BRIEF SWI celebrates 20 years

The Strathcona Wilderness Institute invites the public and people who have been a big part of the success of this organization to a special 20th anniversary celebration on Saturday, Aug. 29 from 2-4 p.m. at the Strathcona Wilderness Information Centre at the Paradise Meadows trailhead. There will be a short slide show, refreshments and a special birthday cake. The celebration will honour the founding directors whose inspiration and planning gave birth to the institute, and all those who have volunteered countless hours over the years to fulfil the institute’s mission to foster wilderness values in B.C.’s first provincial park, Strathcona. The Strathcona Wilderness Institute is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire awareness, appreciation and stewardship of the natural world through education and participation. It was officially registered in 1995. The institute works through a co-operative agreement with BC Parks at two locations in Strathcona Park - the Wilderness Centre at Paradise Meadows and the Buttle Lake Information Hut. Last year, the centre saw more than 10,000 visitors, about 70 per cent of whom were from beyond the Valley, including seven per cent from overseas. For more information call 250-336-2460.

Conservative party members know that Harper is here and to let everyone in the Valley know that there are many of us who are not very happy with the way he has been governing, and in fact, are really, really concerned about it,” said Council of Canadians spokesperson Alice de Wolff. A couple of dozen protestors, including a threepiece band, were waving signs and responding to horn-blowing of passing cars. The rally had some unexpected political clout on site as well, as Green Party Courtenay-Alberni candidate Glenn Sollitt joined in. See PROTEST, Page 8

Smoking ban in all parks and trails

To protect parks and nearby homes from wildfires the CVRD is banning smoking from all of its parks and trails. Park stewards will be patrolling parks such as Nymph Falls, Seal Bay, One Spot and Wildwood Forest to enforce the no smoking requirement. Manager of Parks, Doug DeMarzo, says, “If we find people are smoking we may have to consider closing the parks.” The regional district followed the province campfire ban in banning all beach fires in CVRD parks, and the fire rings at Goose Spit and Little River were subsequently removed. Park users are advised to be cautious while enjoying the outdoors. Fires can and do spread quickly, putting trees, animals, buildings and people at risk.

Closure cancelled

The planned closure of a section of the Courtenay Riverway walkway between 19th and 20th Streets for trail improvements and environmental restoration has been indefinitely postponed. The closure was expected to take effect today (Aug. 25). The City will notify walkway users of the new closure dates when it has been confirmed.

Editorial

On the honour system

ince water use restrictions were put into place earlier this summer, we’ve received a handful of comments from frustrated residents who claim to have witnessed some pretty blatant violations of the bylaw by neighbours who insist on behaving as though nothing has changed. Others have seen residents who draw their water from wells — and are therefore not legally obligated to abide by the restrictions — making liberal use of the diminishing resource without any apparent regard for others who depend on the same diminishing aquifer. The bulk of their frustration, it seems, lies in their lack of ability to do anything about it. Calls to the City, Town or Village have been met with the standard response that there is really nothing that can be done, unless the violator is caught in the act by a bylaw enforcement officer. And what are the odds of that, really, considering the scant number of officers each municipality employs and the amount of geography each has to cover? Although necessary, the restrictions put into effect by the regional authority, place both residents and local governments in a bit of a no-win situation. We’ve been hearing the term ‘water rats’ used to describe people who draw attention to abuses of the bylaw, as though to complain is to tattle. Some say it’s not extremely hard to pick out the violators. The lush, green lawns amidst a neighbourhood of hay stand out. Meanwhile, municipalities are required to enact the bylaw with no practical means of enforcing it. All they can really do is continue to promote conservation and make vague threats. Whether it’s written as law or simply a request, the water restrictions are, for all intents and purposes, based on the honour system. And when it comes to making a few personal sacrifices for the greater good, it seems some people have more honour than others. –Black Press

COMMEN-TERRY

Things got rather heated on the federal election front in the Comox Valley last week, never more so than on Thursday, when Conservative leader Stephen Harper paid a visit to the Valley. When word got out that the PM was coming, it quickly became evident this was not a public visit. He was here mostly as a show of support to his local candidates, and to beat his chest in front of a partisan Conservative crowd at a private function. Protesters rallied in various locations in Courtenay and Campbell River, as well as in the area of the private function, at Coastal Black Estate Winery in Black Creek. This is where it took a rather nasty, and not extremely well thought-out turn on social media. Coastal Black’s Facebook page quickly filled with comments from people promising to boycott the winery for its show of support towards the Conservative party.

Also, I don’t believe that anyone has to justify who they support in a democratic society to anyone other than themselves. I would much rather hear someone tell me that they support the Conservatives than to hear that they don’t vote. Here’s something to consider; if you didn’t vote in the last election, you actually did. John Duncan and James Lunney earned their seats not only by acquiring the most votes for, but also by acquiring the fewest votes against. The only way either of the MPs for our ridings could have changed in 2011 is by their competitors receiving more votes than they did. If you didn’t vote in the 2011 election, you were either a Conservative supporter, in which case it doesn’t matter, or a non-Conservative, in which case you helped the Conservatives win by staying away from the polls. Either way, you helped form the government of the day. So if you don’t like the shape Canada has taken in the past four years, but you did not vote in 2011, you have as much to do with it as anyone who voted Conservative. Keep that in mind when deciding how you will spend the day on Oct. 19.

People got emotional, and when that happens, often things are said before logic has stepped in to calm the waters. Now, I have no doubt that the choice for this rally was not by chance. It’s not a stretch to accept that the Conservative leader (or any other party leader, for that matter) does not book private functions anywhere but at businesses whose support he has. Do you think a card-carrying NDPer would open his or her doors to a private Conservative function? Not likely. And the Conservatives would not likely support that business, either. That said, if you are about to boycott Coastal Black for supporting Harper, keep in mind that, from Nanaimo north, the Conservatives garnered roughly 47 per cent of the popular vote in 2011. You might find it hard to do your shopping if you’re only willing to purchase from businesses that don’t support the Conservatives. You might also have a tough time staying anywhere when you are travelling, considering that the Hotel Association of Canada (which represents more than 8,500 hotels, motels and resorts and employs 287,000 people nationwide) has publicly applauded Harper’s planned investment into the tourism sector.

Councillors not living up to campaign promises

Dear editor, Recently I watched the documentary Right To Remain on CBC, the story of Vancouver’s Eastside residents who are being forced out of their homes and businesses so that gentrification can take over the area. It was devastating. But here in Courtenay we have the opposite problem... most of the Valley homeless don’t have any kind of accommodation to leave, and that’s equally devastating! I know firsthand that I and many friends and family voted for specific Courtenay council candidates because of their pre-election promises that our critical homeless situation was at the top of their priorities. I would like those candidates (you know who you are, and if you’ve forgotten go back to your election handouts) to come forward and explain to all those who voted for you WHY these ‘intentions’ slipped to the bottom of your ‘to do’ lists once you got into power... or is it the word ‘power’ that could answer my question? Another aspect of the lack of importance being placed on the homeless situation that is incredibly upsetting is that when meetings do take place, they are held in-camera. Seriously? Secret meetings about a campground that offers the only possible housing solution for many already living on the bottom rung of society’s ladder. Even as I type this I feel disgusted and saddened. We voted you in because we believed in your words of hope and integrity. Now what? Diane Baxter Courtenay

Car companies must shoulder Merchant Navy requesting some blame for butt flicking recognition of special day

Dear editor I do not smoke cigarettes, but I would like to offer some small excuse for the people who flick their cigarette butts out of the window. Good part of the blame for fires and this cigarette butt flicking goes to car makers, which for some reason about 15 years ago decided to remove the ashtrays from the vehicles. I wish you would prominently mention this fact. What is one supposed to do when there is no ashtray in the car? Car makers should be held responsible for at least 30 per cent of the fires on this continent. By the way, we live by a four-way stop sign and we frequently pick up cigarettes and other garbage thrown out of vehicles when at the intersection. George Novak Comox

Under the Glacier submission hits the mark with reader

Dear editor, Thanks for the great Under the Glacier cartoon in the August 13 Record! It’s provided the best election chuckle today. (The cartoon depicted Liberal, NDP and Conservative campaign buses, with the Green campaign vehicle as a Volkswagen.) Having the Green “bug” leading the parade adds additional enjoyment. Hope it stays that way in the Comox Valley ridings! Betty Donaldson Courtenay

Dear editor, Recently we celebrated the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. I believe this to be the perfect opportunity to remind us all of the sacrifices made by the men of the Merchant Navy. The Canadian Merchant Navy lost over 1,700 seamen during WWII. The British Merchant Navy lost in excess of 32,000, the highest per capita rate of any of the other forces. During WWII, the Merchant Navy saw continuous action in the longest battle of the war, the Battle of the Atlantic. Without them, there would have been no Battle of Britain or, indeed, other fronts around the world. Part of Churchill’s speech, at the end of the war, included the following comment: ‘If blood was the price we had to pay for our freedom. The men of the merchant navies, have paid in full.’ September 3 is designated in England, Canada and the rest of the Commonwealth as Merchant Navy Day. In honour of our war dead. I respectfully request that the Red Ensign is flown from City Hall, and our Royal Canadian Legions.

Oyster recall affecting local economy ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

B.C. oysters are safe. That’s the statement from Keith Reid, owner of Odyssey/Stellar Bay Shellfish in Deep Bay, one of many oyster producers on Vancouver Island, who continues to advocate for his industry despite a food recall warning last week by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for raw oysters. The CFIA issued the warning for oysters harvested from B.C. coastal waters on or before Aug. 18, as they may be unsafe for raw consumption due to vibrio parahaemolyticus, a toxin-producing bacteria found naturally in water, fish and shellfish. Vibrio usually causes a mild intestinal illness; most people develop symptoms within 12 to 24 hours such as stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and headache. Because of the recall, producers have been unable to ship their product into the Canadian marketplace due to possible contamination. “I think the issue goes back to the fact that the bulk of the oysters - I’d say 99.9 per cent of all the oysters that go into the marketplace from B.C. are safe. There’s the odd bad operator that works their way around the system, maybe fills the paperwork out improperly, mishandles their oysters because maybe they think it doesn’t matter, and what happens then, it only takes a few oysters,” explained Reid. Since the recall was filed, he noted there’s a level of frustration throughout the entire industry about how the entire process evolved. There’s been a lack of communication between the various government officials and the industry, he added. “This is something that probably could have mitigated two months ago.” As a result of the recall, Reid added he’s had to cut back on the numbers of hours his staff work. He has about 40 employees, and about eight of the jobs are directly related to the grating and shipping of oysters. Because it’s a naturally-occurring bacteria, vibrio can be present at high levels in coastal waters during periods of increased water temperatures. Reid said he stores his product in large tanks on the water, and pumps deep cold water through the oysters for at least two days. “That water is around 13C, so it’s actually below the line where vibrio tends to multiply, which is around 15C.” The product then gets tested every Friday afternoon for the oysters he plans to ship the following Monday. The tests get sent to an independent lab in Vancouver, and results come back Sunday evening. The results determine whether the product gets shipped or not, he added. “We’ve been doing that all this summer and we’ve shipped every week. So our product and the testing clearly shows the product is safe to eat.” Reid said during the same period of time, his company has shipped approximately 1.5 million oysters into the American market without one reported sickness. He’s shipped 230,000 oysters into the Lower Mainland, and of that, Odyssey/Stellar Bay Shellfish has been implicated in 16 or 19 sicknesses.

The 8O’s called and they want their baseboard heaters back!

“When you’re implicated, all that means is that your product was there along with a number of other processors or growers. And since there is no way of tracking what people ate, then every tag from every bag of oysters that was in that facility essentially comes under the scrutiny of CFIA, and you have to do an illness report,” he explained. Roberta Stevenson, executive director of the BC Shellfish Grower’s Association, calls the recall a “very precautionary” move, but warns the association is not downplaying the outbreak. “It’s a huge hardship and economic hit to the growers,” she said. “Farmers spend a massive amount of money to test for vibrio and distributors too. Where is the weak link?” A meeting with the association and processors was held last week, and Stevenson added a longer meeting with the CFIA is planned. “We’re looking at the chain and hope the meeting can help us proactively problem-solve what we can do when we see the warmer water (in the ocean) … so that next year when the water warms up we’re in a much better situation.” Reid noted he believes the industry has come a long way, but explained there is a responsibility on behalf of the industry and government to sit down and figure out how to solve the problem. “We can’t keep doing things the way we’ve always done them, and that’s at both an industry level, and a regulatory level. There has to be an appetite for change

- again both with the industry and government, so that we can work through a process and find a way to mitigate this. And it is possible, it’s just that we haven’t so far had the appetite to do it.” The effects of the recall are far-reaching. Chef Ronald St. Pierre of Locals Restaurant said he pulled his raw oyster option from the menu last week. “We got a warning from VIHA (Island Health) about two weeks ago, the first warning,” said St. Pierre. “Then last Thursday, August 13, we got another warning, with an attachment they wanted us to post on the front door.” The attachment was an advisory for customers to choose cooked oysters when making their dining options. St. Pierre said rather than post the warning, he removed the raw oyster option from the menu. “I had just received 15 dozen oysters that same day,” he said. “The warning is unfortunate because it kind of puts a blanket statement on the issue and I know it’s not all of the product that has been affected. The product we get from our supplier, have been tested several times to make sure they are clean and suitable for eating. But VIHA has to be cautious. I understand that. “Of course it’s affecting us. At this time of year we get a large amount of people from outside of the country and outside of this region who come here with the expectation to be able to savour the beautiful products that we have around here. To have to tell them ‘sorry, it’s not available’ is a big disappointment to the customer.”

Comox still holding out on referendum participation ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

In hopes of having council reconsider the opportunity to join the homeless service (and subsequent referendum), Betty Tate and Helen Boyd presented council with the initial draft of a five-year plan to end homelessness in the Comox Valley. Earlier this month, Comox Valley Regional District directors unanimously approved a recommended date of Nov. 28 for a referendum to address homelessness. The question will ask voters if they favour a bylaw to establish a service to provide funds to one or more non-government organizations, based on a plan to address homelessness. During the last civic election, a non-binding question indicted 71 per cent of voters supported at least a $5 annual property tax. Tate and Boyd noted under the current resolution, Comox could not participate in the referendum or service, as the town has established a fund (currently $30,000/year which comes from general revenue) for the function of addressing homelessness, and would instead partner with service providers on its own. Participating jurisdictions would be Courtenay, Cumberland, Area A (excluding Denman and Hornby Islands) and Areas B and C. Coun. Barbara Price (one of the town’s CVRD representatives) asked council to revisit the initial motion, as Boyd urged council that a change in their participation should ideally be made sooner than later, due to CVRD deadlines. “There’s a whole bunch of stuff that we need answers to,” said Coun. Ken Grant, who added he would like to see a staff report of the implications of joining the CVRD’s homeless initiative. Coun. Russ Arnott agreed. “I feel a little uneasy. I kind of feel under the spotlight to make a decision; I think we’re rushing into something, and I’d like to have a little bit more information.”

Mayor Paul Ives reminded council under town bylaws, a decision by council would have to be unanimous, and noted if the motion passes, council would have very little say as to how the town’s money gets used. The motion was defeated, and Ives suggested a new motion to direct staff to research the matter of participation in the RD’s initiative, and if necessary, council could call a special meeting to vote on a motion prior to the RD’s deadline. The second motion was approved unanimously.

Rainbow sidewalk report presented

With an estimated cost of $14,000, Comox council accepted a report by staff for the possibility of a rainbow crosswalk and have forwarded the information to the Comox citizen who first brought the idea to council. At the July 15 council meeting, Comox resident Wendell Hoyseth asked council to consider the possibility of installing a rainbow crosswalk on Beaufort Avenue at Church Street. In his letter, Hoyseth said since it’s been 10 years since same-sex marriage was made legal nationwide, other cities have made statements of acceptance and support on their pavement, and asked the town to do the same. He added if approved, he would be willing to organize and contribute to both labour and fundraising of the crosswalk. In consultation with other jurisdictions such as Victoria and Vancouver, the estimated cost would consist of $9,000 for the paint and $5,000 of in-house costs to grind out the existing crosswalk, prepare the area and for associated traffic control. In his report, Richard Kanigan, the town’s chief administrative officer, noted another issue to consider would be the ongoing maintenance of the product, as New Westminster indicated a recent graffiti incident on their crosswalk was dealt with easily as the paint was power washed without damage. The City of Victoria on the other hand, he added, is dealing with skid marks only two months after installation, and staff is unsure how to deal with the damage.

Public walkway at hospital project to be shut down Construction of the new Comox Valley Hospital parkade will require a temporary closure of the public walkway along the hospital project’s north perimeter starting in September. The construction contractor maintained the walkway during

excavation of the parkade footprint, but the walkway will be temporarily closed Sept. 15, 2015 during construction of the parkade, a nearby retaining wall, and installation of a new sanitary sewer line. The walkway is anticipated to reopen March 1, 2016.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper visited North Vancouver Island Thursday afternoon, meeting with a group of search and rescue volunteers in Comox before speaking to more than 200 Conservative Party supporters in a campaign event that evening at Coastal Black Estate Winery in Black Creek. The strategic location for Thursday night’s campaign tour stop allowed Harper to stump for a pair of regional Conservative candidates in ridings created since the party won its last federal election, in 2011. Laura Smith, candidate for the North Island-Powell River riding, served as master of ceremonies and introduced incumbent North Vancouver Island MP John Duncan, who is running for the Courtenay-Alberni seat. Duncan, who served in the Harper cabinet, then intro-

on the cloak of secrecy surrounding the PM’s visit, Sollitt said he did not agree with the strategy. “I think it’s a poor choice, what he’s doing,” said Sollitt. “When the leaders don’t make themselves accessible to the general public and open themselves up to question then yeah, it’s a disingenuous move. He’s here, but not really.

Protest: Green Party member joins the rally Continued from page 3 “I was at my office and looked out the window and thought, what’s going on? So I came down to check it out,” he said. “This (rally) was a wideopen event… the events we try to organize are as open as possible,” said de Wolff. “It’s great to see (Sollitt) here.” When asked his opinion

haps 40 people staked out a spot at the intersection of South Island Highway and Endall Road in Black Creek to wave signs at vehicles en route to Coastal Black for the campaign event.

You have to open yourself up to the public.” Although the Council of Canadians is an independent, non-partisan group, the C of C and Sollitt do share a common goal. “They all say they want Harper out and we all want the Conservatives out, otherwise I wouldn’t be running for a different party,” he said.

Cumberland Brothers at Filberg The final concert in the 2015 Filberg Summer Concert Series is coming up Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. with the Cumberland Brothers. The Cumberland Brothers is a critically acclaimed creative collaboration of Cumberland-based Archie Pateman (co-founder of Vancouver roots band, The Breakmen) and sideman fiddle sensation, Jack Roland. They specialize in brother harmony style country music and present it with the simple but proficient support of guitar, banjo and fiddle. Their sets include a

mix of old country songs by artists like The Louvin and Delmore Brothers, and original music penned by Pateman. Since releasing their debut E.P. album, Gamey, in July of 2013, their unique sound has been heard on Galaxy Roots Radio, CBC, and countless college and independent radio stations. The album reached No. 5 on the Canadian Earshot Charts in September, 2013 and two tracks were recently used in a promo video by a

west coast mountain bike company. The Cumberland Brothers will be joined by special guests - FiddleJam. FiddleJam began in the Comox Valley in 2001 as an opportunity to play together for fun, and as a place to learn and share Canadian fiddle tunes. They have since learned well over 200 tunes and play for community events across the Comox Valley and beyond. Children under 12 get into the concert for free. Dancing and celebrating are highly encouraged. Plan for dinner at Tria at the Filberg Tea House,

and enjoy delicious local food and beverages preshow or at intermission. Enjoy the concert on a blanket in the grass, bring a picnic or pull up a chair. The Filberg Summer Concert Series is a fundraiser for the Filberg Heritage Park and Lodge. Proceeds support the ongoing care and maintenance of this heritage legacy for the community. Tickets are $15, available at www.filberg.com., at Long and McQuade in Courtenay or at Blue Heron Books in Comox.

LOST AND FOUND

Dec 5, 1927 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 8, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bert, 87 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; husband, father, Papa. A life long resident of Dove Creek and Merville, Bert was an avid hunter and fisherman. He spent his working life in the woods. First for Comox Logging and Crown Zellerbach, and later had his own company - Bert Harris Logging. Bert had a great sense of humour and loved to travel; he made friends wherever he went. Bert will be remembered by his family: his wife of 66 years, Ethel, and their 5 children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nancy Emery (Norman), Pat Yakichuk (Ed), Rick Harris (Marilyn), Dianne Webber (Dennis), and Barb Nowicki (Todd), 12 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren, his sister Margaret Hirschprung, and many cousins and nieces and nephews. The family would like to express our gratitude to the wonderful staff at the Cumberland Lodge and the Comox Valley Seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village for their excellent care. Bring your tall tales and join us at a Celebration of Life at Merville Hall August 29, 2015 at 1:00 pm.

Benno Herbert Kattenat November 9, 1932 July 29, 2015

With his much loved daughters holding his hand Ben left us peacefully to join his beloved Sharon. Ben loved music, woodworking, and time spent in Mexico. He was an artistic man who had a zest for life. He will be remembered by his family and friends with a smile and especially by his grandchildren for his silly rhyming and made up words. He is predeceased by his love Sharon, his parents Friedrich and Berta, brother Hank, son-in-law Larry. He is survived by his daughters, Janine (George), Michelle (Lorne), grandchildren Chad (Angela), Jeff, Kayla, Brock (Kelsey), great grandchildren, Nash, Mackenzie, Robert, and one on the way. Ben is also survived by his sister Ingrid (Rolph), niece Patty (Jeff ) and many other nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses who cared for Dad.
