Hosting WWOS ‘a great honour’ ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com
A melodic, short walk down the empty Comox (Dyke) Road brought together members of the K’ómoks First Nation, community volunteers and Comox Valley RCMP Monday morning to the Big House. With the road closed to traffic for half an hour, the walk was the commencement ceremony to bring Walking With Our Sisters - a commemorative art installation to honour the lives of missing and murdered indigenous women of Canada and the U.S - to the K’omoks First Nation. “… we’re bringing the memorial from outside of our traditional territory; the ceremony today was about bringing it onto our land, onto our territory, and ensuring that we bless the space and create the space for this to take place,” explained Chief Rob Everson. Currently the only scheduled stop in B.C., the project is about the women, paying respect to their lives and existence on earth. It features moccasin tops, which are intentionally not sewn into moccasins to represent the unfinished lives of the women and girls. “It’s a great honour, and such a privilege for the K’omoks people for hosting such a momentous event and a memorial that I think encapsulates a lot of what our people have struggled through with regards to the inequalities to socioeconomic inequities over the years. I think this is one of those things that is definitely going to bring light to such a tragic series over the past decades to women going missing and
New Powell River ferry named
Following a contest in which BC Ferries received more than 7,100 entries, a panel of judges has selected Salish Orca, Salish Eagle and Salish Raven as the names for its new intermediate class ferries under construction. Salish Orca will enter service on the Comox – Powell River route late next year. Salish Eagle and Salish Raven will begin operations in the Southern Gulf Islands in 2017. The Salish Orca is scheduled to arrive in British Columbia in the late summer of 2016 and is expected to be in service replacing the 50-year-old Queen of Burnaby on the Comox – Powell River route late 2016, following extensive crew training and familiarization.
Road construction to last until autumn
On Monday morning, members of the K’omoks First Nation, volunteers and committee members participated in a ceremony prior to set up of the Walking With Our Sisters project commemorating the lives of missing and murdered indigenous women of Canada and the United States.

The sisters that we’re honouring today that these moccasins are being represented, they never got that honour.

Construction began Wednesday on road and watermain improvements for two west Courtenay streets: • Second St. from England to Cliffe Ave., and •12th St. from Urquhart to Stewart Ave. Work on the project will continue until Sept. 29. During construction, access to these streets will be limited to local traffic only. Traffic control personnel will be onsite to direct vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists through the work area. The project will impact access to properties in the work zone at times. The contractor will make every effort to accommodate the needs of residents wherever possible, and advise residents in advance of any parking and access issues. On Second Street, arrangements have been made through the Comox Valley Regional District for BC Transit buses to be temporarily rerouted to Third Street during the project. The bus stop on Second Street, close to Cliffe Avenue, will be temporarily removed until after the project is completed. The City will be working with the contractor to limit water use wherever possible. If you have any questions about this project, contact Ira Adams, AScT, Engineering Technologist, City of Courtenay at (250) 334-4441 extension 284, or email: iadams@courtenay.ca

Speeders nailed on Highway 19
Members of the Comox Valley and Oceanside Municipal Traffic sections conducted targeted speed enforcement on Highway 19 near Cook Creek last weekend, which netted 10 charges for excessive speed ($368 fine) and their vehicles towed and impounded for seven days. The highest speed was 180km/h in a posted 120km/h zone. A number of other charges were laid for exceeding the speed limit in excess of 21km/h over the posted speed limit.

Buckley Bay cable ferry installation behind schedule ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com
Installation of a cable ferry from Buckley Bay — Denman Island is behind
schedule, but BC Ferries still expects the vessel to be operating this year. In April, the corporation had said construction of the 78.5 metre cable ferry was nearing completion at Seaspan. But on Monday, BC Ferries said the vessel is still at the North Vancouver
shipyard. “They will have it ready to be towed up to the Buckley Bay area mid-August,” director of media relations Deborah Marshall said. “Once it gets up there, we expect about six weeks of crew training and familiarization.”
The company figures it will be ready to run by fall. “It is taking a bit longer than we expected, but we’ll have a great ship in service,” Marshall said. The ferry will operate with one drive cable and two guide cables. As opposed to a crew of six that
manned the self-propelled Quinitsa, three people will be aboard the new vessel, which will be the longest of its kind in the world. BC Ferries expects the cable ferry will save more than $80 million over 40 years.

Compliance still intends to carry on with Raven mine project ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Despite the loss of one minority partner and the apparent loss of another, Compliance Energy Corporation still intends to forge ahead with the proposed Raven underground coal mine in Baynes Sound. Itochu Corporation of Japan officially withdrew from the Comox Joint Venture in June. LG International Corporation of Korea (LGi) has told the company it too plans to withdraw from the project. Both own 20 per cent of the venture. “Compliance Coal has com-
plete ownership,” president/ chief operations officer Stephen Ellis said Monday. “The company is still intending to carry on with the process.” CoalWatch Comox Valley president John Snyder feels the withdrawal of LGi is significant and “adds to the long history of setbacks for the Raven Coal project over the past six years.” Compliance purchased the coal rights in 2005 and established a joint venture with Itochu and LGi. An economic feasibility study was completed in 2009 for the development of an underground coal project. That same year, Com-
pliance entered into an Environmental Assessment (EA) process. The company has so far spent more than $20 million on the project. In 2013, the provincial Environmental Assessment Office rejected the company’s application for an EA certificate. Earlier this year, Compliance withdrew its application from a provincial screening process to clear up some misconceptions about the proposed mine. At this point, Ellis is not sure if Compliance is close to re-applying. “There’s different things happening which I can’t talk about right now,” he said.
REPLACE YOUR WATER-GUZZLING TOILET (13 LITRE OR MORE) WITH A NEW WATER-EFFICIENT MODEL AND RECEIVE A $75 REBATE FROM THE COMOX VALLEY REGIONAL DISTRICT (CVRD).
WATER-GUZZLING TOILET
= $75 REBATE
The CVRD toilet rebate program will help residents use water more efficiently. Replacing a 13 litre toilet with a dual flush toilet or high-efficiency (4.8 or less) toilet could reduce indoor water use by approximately 18 per cent. Homes with older 20 litre flush toilets could experience even larger reductions. Only high efficiency (4.8 litre or less) and dual flush toilets are eligible. A maximum of two toilets rebates per installation address, including those toilets rebates received under the 2009-2014 programs, will be accepted. Old toilets must be taken to the Comox Valley waste management centre (2400 Pidgeon Lake Road, Cumberland) for the proper disposal and date-stamped receipt. The toilet rebate program applies to homes that are connected to the Comox Valley water system including the Town of Comox, City of Courtenay and the Arden, Comox Valley, England Road,Marsden/Camco, and Greaves Crescent water local service areas. A limited number of rebates are available for the program. To download the 2015 eligibility requirements and the rebate form visit www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/rebates or call 250-334-6000.

Feds, province and Village split costs for Cumberland infrastructure upgrade Residents of Cumberland will benefit from new wastewater infrastructure thanks to joint funding from the governments of Canada and British Columbia through the Small Communities Fund. Through the project, approximately 1.6 kilometres of new storm water pipe and approximately 600 metres of sanitary sewer pipes will be installed in the Dunsmuir area of the Village of Cumberland. These upgrades will reduce the quantity of storm water entering the sanitary sewer system and, ultimately, the wastewater treatment system, reducing treatment system operating costs. The upgrades will also help the Village meet current standards for sewer discharge. The Province of British Columbia will provide up to $922,521 for the project. That amount will be matched by the federal government, through the Small Communities Fund, and the Village of Cumberland will be responsible for the remaining third of the cost. The total cost of the project is $2,767,564.
Comox Valley MLA Don McRae and Cumberland Mayor Leslie Baird announce the funding partnership (along with the federal government) for infrastructure PHOTO BY Scott Stanfield improvement in Cumberland. Through the Small Communities Fund, the governments of Canada and British Columbia are working in partnership to provide funding for priority public infrastructure projects that deliver on local needs in communities across the province that have fewer than 100,000 residents.

Through the New Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund, we are investing in priority infrastructure projects that have a positive and lasting impact on the quality of life of British Columbia’s residents while helping create jobs and economic growth.” Comox Valley MLA Don McRae, who was present for the announcement, said the project will prove to be a cost-saver for
Cumberland. “This additional piping for Cumberland’s storm water and sewer system will ultimately reduce the costs of operating the system by eliminating storm water from entering the wastewater treatment process,” he said. “We recognize the value of our partnership and the importance of the federal and provincial governments working with local governments to make this type of project possible.” Cumberland Mayor Leslie Baird, who was also on hand for the announcement, point-

Seven-year-old Sophie Clark will ride 25 kilometres on Aug. 16 to raise funds for YANA. What started out as a way to help save the polar bears has turned into a love for riding bikes and now, a way to raise money for a charity that Sophie loves. “I’m really proud of Sophie, and what she is doing,” says her dad, Aaron. “Sophie really loves bike riding, I remember trying to pick her up from school one very rainy day this year, she refused to get in the car, in the end she rode home with some friends. She really enjoys riding her bike, and we’re a biking family so we think it’s just great.” On Aug. 16, Sophie will join hundreds of other cycling enthusiasts at the Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride. Sophie said she started riding when she learned about global warming. “I like polar bears but the ice is melting so where will they live? It’s because of gas and how we use energy, but bikes don’t use gas.” The seven-year-old gave two reasons for participating in the Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride. “(I) wanted to try something hard and I also love YANA,” she said. “I like riding my bike because you get exercise and it’s really fun.” Sophie has been practising for the Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride all year. “I just did a 24 km bike ride with my family in Vancouver, I rode my bike to school all year, and I might try the Saturday training ride with the YANA group. I’ve also been trying to make it up hills.” Last year Sophie rode the family ride for the second time and raised over $800 for YANA. On Aug. 16 she will ride her longest ride yet, the 25 km route. Anyone wanting to pledge Sophie can donate by visiting the Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride registration site via: www.yanacomoxvalley.com YANA’s executive director, Marcie Dumais, is overwhelmed by the

People of all ages get behind our ride in so many ways, we have our partners at Simon’s Cycles, participants, sponsors and volunteers all coming together to create one incredible event.” Sponsors cover all costs and expenses ensuring that all registration and pledges go directly to helping Comox Valley families. Dr. Andreas Conra-
di, the ride’s premier sponsor, has intimate knowledge of the work YANA does. “Twenty years ago, my first-born was on life support and YANA supported our family,” said Conradi. “Having experienced that, I know first-hand what it means to have your community’s support.” Now he and his team give back in as many ways as they can. This year they chose to provide T-shirts to nearly 500 participants and volunteers. The YANA Ride is made possible by over 100 volunteers, like
triathlete, Jill Grant. “When I was asked to volunteer I thought it was a perfect fit because this event is about fun and fitness and I have been involved in so many of these events as an athlete, it’s great to give back because it feels so good,” said Grant. The Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride is a challenging and unique bicycle ride through the beautiful Comox Valley with a variety of routes.

Crafting curriculum for cooks Christine Lilyholm knows what it takes to be a master chef. The professional cook instructor at North Island College is helping shape curriculum for cooks in Canada. This spring, the Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council selected her to help review the National Occupancy Standards for the emerit line cook program, a national online training and certification program, based in Ottawa. “We are extremely proud of Christine and the extensive experience she brings to students nationwide,” said Cheryl O’Connell, NIC’s dean of trades. The program was chosen for a curriculum update to meet demand for cooks over the next decade. In B.C., the Labour Market Outlook estimates the province will have 10,200 job openings for cooks by 2022. “There are not enough students for the jobs out there," Lilyholm says. Her experience in Ottawa confirmed her belief in B.C.’s curriculum and NIC’s program. “You've got to have passion," she says. "You've got to love food and you've got to love what you do." Lilyholm spices those ingredients with a dash of understanding, mixes in a willingness to learn, blends in the ability to adapt, bakes it into an NIC program, sets the table with real world experience and – voila – serves up a chef. For her, the road to a professional career is not exactly as advertised on reality cooking shows. "I always remind people TV is not real life," she says. “A lot of students think they're going to become the next Iron Chef but there's a lot of hard work to get on top of that ladder.” Lilyholm should know. Her career began in 1993 after completing two years of cooking school in Manitoba. She moved to B.C. to begin her apprenticeship in Vic-
Christine Lilyholm was chosen to help develop curriculum for cooks across Canada. PHOTO supplied toria and worked up and down the Island. Then, after a decade in the industry, she began to teach, beginning her current position with NIC in 2004. Since 2004, she has trained 170 rising chefs in three levels of professional cook training at NIC’s Campbell River campus, including more than a dozen students in recent years who have competed at regional and provincial Skills Canada and Vancouver Hot competitions. NIC has a reputation for providing well-trained chefs and tourism students, ranging from high school students to adults shifting careers.
“We seek out NICtrained chefs and tourism students because we know they have the practical training we need,” said Carmen Amberson, an NIC tourism diploma graduate who is general manager of Gowlland Harbour Oceanfront Resort on Quadra Island. This winter, stu-
dents will learn to cook on their feet in the Third Course Bistro, a student-run restaurant on campus. Students plan, cook and create menus in a public restaurant open two evenings a week in February and March. Students also work at North Vancouver Island Chefs Association events. For Lilyholm, industry events, student skill development, and now, a national curriculum development opportunity keep her inspired. "The great thing about this industry is, you're always continuing to learn. You could cook for 40 years and still go in and learn something. “It's always new, whether it's the food, people, equipment or events – it’s ever-changing and incredibly fun."

Paul Horgen He is visually impaired, but that doesn’t stop Paul Horgen from being an active member of the Comox Valley community. The 71-year-old Comox resident — who taught biology at the University of Toronto during his working years — is board chair of the Comox Valley Project Watershed Society, is involved with the local White Cane Club, and sits on the Vancouver Island board of directors of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and the National Research board. The latter is comprised mostly of ophthalmologists and scientists that deal with the eyes. He and his wife Ilona have been involved in ElderCollege at North Island College. She is a past chair of the organization for students 55 and older. Horgen has also written a book about his seeing eye dog — a seven-year-old yellow Lab named Kona. The book, Tails of Kona the Guide Dog, is self-published. He would like to see it appear in school libraries. “It’s received very good feedback from teachers,” said Horgen, a recipient of the prestigious Paul Harris Award from the Comox Rotary Club. “I’d like to teach children and

parents and grandparents about how to behave around guide dogs. You’d be surprised how many people will come up and want to pet Kona when I’m walking with her. She’s on duty.” In his 20s, Horgen was diagnosed with an eye disorder called retinitis pigmentosa where the eye slowly deteriorates. He was told he would first lose his peripheral vision and then his central vision in his 60s. It happened exactly that way, but he nevertheless worked until age 63. He has retained a bit of his eyesight. Horgen grew up in California, came to Canada in 1972, and moved to the Valley in 2005. Upon graduating from guide dog school in 2008, he was teamed with Kona. Both underwent training in Vancouver. “She’s got two more good years plore and in her, according to the BC Ex Guide Dog Services,” Horgen said. lea “She’s rn at NIC in very good shape.” Music is also part of Horgen’s life. He used to lead a doo-wop singing group in Toronto. He later wrote a song called Our Estuary, recorded at Dove Creek Recording Studios, with Mary Murphy on vocals, and Paul Keim on guitar and bass. Accompanied by his buddy Jim Gillis, Horgen is having fun engaging in ‘tasty reviews’ with the Blind Taste Tester, which involves eating, drinking and supporting local restaurants, breweries, pubs and wineries.

Train no closer to reality
T
he provincial government says it is waiting for confirmation from the feds. The federal government says it is waiting for the province. Just another confusing day in the life of the Island Corridor Foundation. And we’re no closer to passenger rail service on the Island than we were three years ago. B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone pulled the old non-announcement announcement trick last Thursday. If this whole situation didn’t involve tens of millions of taxpayers dollars, it would be hilarious. Stone said “we are one step closer” to a fully operational rail service on Vancouver Island after his announcement. What made him say this is anyone’s guess, because there was nothing new, no step closer, within the news release Stone’s ministry sent to the masses last week. “The government of B.C. has affirmed its commitment to provide $7 million to the Island Corridor Foundation (ICF) to support the future of the E&N rail line on Vancouver Island,” said the lead sentence in the release, followed later by: “The provincial funds will be provided to the Island Corridor Foundation once it has confirmed that $7.5 million in federal funding is in place and, through a tendering process, that the upgrade work can be completed within the $20.4 million it has budgeted.” We called the only MP from Vancouver Island who sits on the government side in the House of Commons, John Duncan. He told us the federal money has always been there, “contingent on the province doing their due diligence. If they’re good to go, we’re good to go.” In December of 2014, a Ministry of Transportation official told us the B.C. Safety Authority had engaged a consultant to review the ICF’s upgrade plan. In that same story, Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell said “safety is my first priority.” While Stilwell told us the government is now “comfortable” with what the B.C Safety Authority is saying about the upgrade plan, nowhere in the news release Thursday does it say the ICF’s plan has been given the thumbs up by the authority. Nowhere in the release Thursday does it say the ICF can actually do the upgrade work for $20 million. We still don’t believe $20 million will get this service up and running, certainly not north of Nanaimo. — PQB News

Dear TransLink, Please accept the following letter as my application for position of Chief Executive Officer - Goods Production, Utilities, Transportation And Construction for the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority. I am confident that I meet all the qualifications, including the ability to work “closely with partners in the three levels of government, the public/private sector and the general public.” I also promise to “articulate and promote the vision of a transportation future where people and goods move in a way that promotes a healthy economy, environment and quality of life for generations to come.” As a managing editor of a community newspaper, I have experience in leading a team of professionals, in a deadline-driven environment. I do lack experience in the transportation industry, but based on the minimum requirement of a bachelor’s degree in no specified field, clearly
of Vancouver. (I do appreciate that option.) On the plus-side, I won’t charge you $20,000 in relocation assistance, so the company still comes out ahead. I will also forgo the $1,200 annual parking allowance. I hear bus service from the airport to your office in New Westminster is already pretty good. If it doesn’t meet my requirements, I will simply make that improvement a priority. That all works out to, give or take a tax-deductible food bank donation, approximately $175,000 in savings already - and I haven’t even signed the contract yet! The application notice lists the starting date as “as soon as possible” after the Nov. 19 closing date. Is Nov. 20 soon enough? I’d prefer to give my current employer a couple of weeks’ notice, but for this kind of salary increase, I can burn that bridge when I get to it. You may think of this as a joke, but remember… a certain Vancouver daily newspaper once felt the same way about a response for a reporter’s job, and dismissed Hunter S. Thompson’s application. I eagerly await your response. Sincerely, Terry A. Farrell

that’s not a deal breaker. As a former sports editor, I have an uncanny ability to spin. I can turn an eighth-place finish at an eight-team hockey tournament into a championship season. There are many parents in B.C. and Alberta who can attest that my “excellent communications and media relations skills” give me the ability of “shaping public opinion and rallying support.” Facing the media every Tuesday and Thursday as the Skytrain collapses would not be an issue. I can smile and wave as well as the next guy. Here’s the greatest part for you: I can save you money. Lots of money. Well, at least lots of money when presented to the other 99 per cent. Your $320,000 salary? I will do it for $250,000 a year. Boom. A 70k savings right there. You can hire another driver! (Or two part-time drivers.) The 30 per cent bonus at the end of every year? Take it back. Bam! Another 100k to help meet budget. I can not even comprehend the necessity of an “annual wellness allowance” on top of a quarter-of-amillion-dollar salary, so you can have that $2,500 back too. I will have to maintain the $14,400 annual transportation allowance, so that I can continue to reside in the Comox Valley and just fly in and out

Becoming clear that local politicians lied to get votes
Dear editor, Since moving to the City of Courtenay and this incredibly beautiful Comox Valley, I have been an enthusiastic and regular voter in all the elections, including the city’s elections. In this past city election most of my choices regarding who I would vote for were based on the candidates’ stated positions on the Maple Pool issue. Now I am wondering how many of them were lying through their teeth? Secrecy like this, which means no accountability, has no place in a democracy and it seems the only real reason, in spite of the ‘legal excuses’ for this is to hide behind their lies that got them elected in the first place. If city officials are wondering why so few people vote in local elections, this is why. It seems that these people will say anything to get elected and then hide behind a secret vote on the major issue of that election that got most of them elected. I will probably never vote in a local election again. I had hoped that it was possible to trust the local politicians at least, since they do have to live here and some have businesses here too. I was wrong. If you want my support, or my business, don’t lie to me. Trust? It’s gone. Loraine Hudelson Courtenay
Let’s all chip in and buy Mr. Hodges a set of earplugs
Dear editor, I wonder why the Record selected Mr. Hodges letter of complaint about
recreational aviation. It’s clear he knows how many others view him, myself included; “a rotten whiner”. Amongst his other claims to the intellectual higher ground, he says the rest of us who support gliders, etc. lack empathy. Perhaps he doesn’t understand the meaning of the word: Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person’s frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place oneself in another’s shoes. That makes empathy a two-way street. The joy of flight, the majestic view of this incredible area, and the purest mastery of physics: to fly, to overcome gravity has to be one of the greatest experiences for those who appreciate same. Maybe we should all chip in and get him some earplugs. Charlene Davis Courtenay
Transit referendum result should come as no surprise
To the surprise of no one, Greater Vancouver voters turned down a referendum on a 0.5 per cent sales tax to support the expansion of Transit services in the Lower Mainland. The Liberals knew the outcome of the transit vote before they called the referendum. That’s why they called for a referendum on transit spending but not on spending for toll bridges, freeways, stadiums, coal ports, and extravagant gifts to Liberal Party supporters, etc. My gosh, taxpayers at Mount Washington Alpine Resort voted down a modest tax to support having a minimal fire protection service, even
when the danger of a single fire spreading from house to house was obvious to all. If it meant a dollar collected to support a common good like saving lives and property-then no; overwhelmingly NO! It’s amazing to think that residents would rather pay the cost of fires in loss of property, sky-high insurance premiums, and the very real threat to human life than to invest in a community good like fire protection services. To me this is the real tragedy of the commons—in Vancouver, Mount Washington, and industrial society generally—that we have allowed special interest groups like the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to convince us that private greed must always consume any sense of common community or even our instinct to survive. Though the consequences are not as obvious as the absence of a fire truck at an inferno, it is just as amazing that Vancouver voters are willing to pay the cost of cutting meaningful planning for transit in the ever-increasing paving over of valuable urban land to make room for more freeways and parking lots; in massively expensive bridges and tunnels, in lives and limbs lost in accidents, in loss of productive hours spent idling in traffic jams; and the ever increasing pollution of our atmosphere and—most importantly—in the abrogation of our commitment to our children that we will not consume and pollute away their chance to live in health and safety on a planet with a life-supporting atmosphere. I sure get the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong! Norm Reynolds Courtenay

Teeing it up in memory of a friend ■ Earle Couper coup @comoxvalleyrecord.com
When Comox Valley Nissan presents the fifth annual Kelly Smith Memorial Tournament, it will be a smooth blend of a community-minded business helping friends remember a fallen comrade and raising money for a great cause. Sgt. Kelly Smith was a deputy fire chief at 19 Wing Comox Fire Service. Five years ago in April, he left work and never returned. “Kelly went home on a Friday and it was the typical, ‘What’s going on this weekend?’ conversation,” recalls Sgt. Jerry Snook, fire department supply officer at 19 Wing and co-ordinator of this year’s golf tournament, which goes Aug. 14 at Glacier Greens. “He goes home on a Friday and Sunday the boys get a call from downtown Comox that he’s passed away with a heart attack,” Snook said. That is the reason for the tournament; remembering Smith and raising money for the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada. Smith was 52 at the time of his passing and had no history of heart problems. “We have a firefighter (fitness) test and if you can pass that you can pretty much do anything. When I said goodbye to him on Friday, I didn’t realize it was going to be the final goodbye,” Snook said. While Smith’s memory lives on with those who knew him, newcomers to 19 Wing Fire Service have a visual reference point – Smith’s empty equipment stall in the fire service building. “In the evening, to build up physical fitness as well as speed, core and teamwork, we play ball hockey,” Snook explained. “We kept Kelly’s stall. It has his nameplate, picture and ball hockey stick. “That will always be there.” Just a few steps away from Smith’s stall is a trophy case containing the memorial trophy – and it is a piece of art. Snook said Smith “never threw anything away” and one of his fellow firefighters, Rob Mitchell, grabbed some hose couplers and included them on a wood carving that includes a raised maple leaf and the 19 Wing Fire Service badge. The maple leaf is a reminder that Smith was a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan, and Snook joked it was a testament to Smith’s popularity that people still talked to him despite his choice of hockey teams. The Maple Leafs’ theme is prominent
at the tournament. “All the signs saying Kelly Smith Memorial are in blue and white. All the KP (closest to the pin) and LD (long drive) signs will have the maple leaf flag on them,” said Snook. “Meal tickets have the maple leaf flag on them. “When I give the rules and regulations I wear a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. I get heckled, but as soon as I say I’m doing it for Kelly, nobody (bothers) me.” Snook said Smith called the Comox Valley home and was planning to retire here. “He had over 26 years in the Forces. He was in Bosnia, and Afghanistan and a UN tour. He had probably four, five tours
under his belt, plus he worked on ships. He served his country well,” Snook said. This is the first year the Kelly Smith Tournament has been open to the public, and Snook’s efforts to line up sponsors is already paying dividends. “We started off small. The first year we kept it within the firehall. We raised a few hundred dollars that year. Next year we did the same. “Last year one of the guys mentioned we should try to make it a little bigger and get more people involved. We got a couple of sponsors and raised almost $2,400. This year, with the help of sponsors, we’re already at $3,500 and haven’t even swung a club yet.
“In the past four years we made probably $5,000. I’m hoping to make $5,000 just this year, and that’s because we have Comox Valley Nissan as a major sponsor,” Snook said. Along with sponsoring every hole, Snook said Nissan is offering a hole in one prize of a new vehicle on both the front and back nine. They have also donated silent auction items. Brandon Longson, new car sales manager at Comox Valley Nissan, explained the dealership has a business development co-ordinator team that takes on the sponsorship and support of community fundraising projects.

ticket that goes toward a $200 gas card at DHF,” said Snook. The 18-hole tourney is a fourball, best-ball format with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. Registration is at Comox Valley Nissan (535 Silverdale Crescent, 250-338-1988) by cash or cheque only. Those wishing to have a golf cart must phone Glacier Greens Golf Course (250339-6515) to make arrangements. Snook said he would love to see the tourney hit the 144-player maximum, and notes out-oftown golfers will help in that regard. “We’ve got a foursome coming from Chilliwack. A firefighter used to be here and knew Kelly, now he’s posted in Chilliwack so he’s bringing a team. He was here last year. “Two or three guys are coming from Edmonton, and Bryce is bringing in some Realtors from western Canada. And we have Campbell River and of course the Comox Valley.” The $360 per team entry fee includes a ribs and chicken dinner, and Snook says Ben Gill of Gill’s Catering at Glacier Greens cooks the best ribs in the Valley. There will be a silent auction and draw prizes during dinner, which will be preceded by a talk by Tana Darnell, Community Development Coordinator at Heart and Stroke Foundation, explaining how the funds raised will be used. Along with fundraising and remembering a friend, Snook said, “What’s so great about the tournament, it’s the day before the air show, so as we’re golfing we will see aircraft out practising – at no extra charge.”

“If it’s something our customers or staff are passionate about, we get involved and give it 100 per cent,” he said. Earlier this year Nissan put on a tailgate party when several CFL players were in town for the Courtenay Centennial Homecoming Party celebrations, and they will be holding another one at the Kelly Smith Memorial tourney between the ninth and 10th holes with donations going to Heart & Stroke. “We’re extremely excited to be part of this golf tournament,” Longson added. Snook has also teed up a host of other sponsors. Coastal Transportation and Storage is providing two hole in one Kelly Smith prizes worth $5,000 and there are KP and long drive prizes for both men and women. “Comox Fire Rescue is sponsoring a hole plus they donated $400 – $500 total, that’s fantastic,” Snook said. “They lost a firefighter (Capt. Stewart Rennie) two years ago to a heart attack,” Snook noted. Comox fire chief Gord Schreiner is running a putting contest for the second year in a row, with the prize a whale watching tour by Campbell River Whale Watching & Grizzly Adventure Tours. “Another big sponsor is Bryce Hansen Realty, who is sponsoring a hole and golf cards. Discovery Harbour Fuels up in Campbell River is sponsoring a hole plus donated a couple of hundred dollars. Also they’re going to have a contest where you hit a whiffle ball into a bucket.

Acquiring Coast Realty ‘a good fit’ for Royal LePage ■ Katie Maximick katie.maximic @comoxvalleyrecord.com
Royal LePage Real Estate Services announced early last week that it has acquired Coast Realty Group on Vancouver Island, including 150 Realtors and nine offices, officially making Royal LePage the largest real estate firm on the Island. On a local level, the acquisition means Royal LePage in the Comox Valley has merged with Coast Realty Group’s Courtenay office, as well as its satellite offices in Cumberland, Union Bay, Hornby Island and Denman Island. In total, the deal involved 14 Comox Valley Coast Realty Group real estate agents. “The satellite offices all remain in the locations that they’re in right now. The only office that actually closed was the downtown Coast office, and all of those Realtors have been moved into the Royal LePage office on Comox Road,” explained Gregg Hart, owner and managing broker of Royal LePage in the Comox Valley. “The transition is going well,” he added. “It feels really positive. Our first meeting and in-house training was Tuesday, and Royal LePage Canada are
flying people in for training on Thursday to deal with the Royal LePage systems.” Negotiations for the acquisition began back in May between the owners of Coast Realty Group and Royal LePage franchises, but the deal wasn’t disclosed to staff until early last Tuesday. Hart says the feedback he’s been receiving from Coast Realtors and staff has been optimistic. “I would say that the attitude from the Realtors has been extremely positive. There was a great email that Andrena KochSchulte sent out, saying that she had been called to a special meeting and she thought maybe the office had won the Lotto 6/49,” Hart said, with a laugh. “She basically said, no they didn’t win, but they’re now in a much bigger office, a national office, and she’s really positive about it, and that’s been pretty much everybody’s attitude.” “This is a business decision that benefits the Realtors, the office and the clients out there. Coast clients were loyal to Coast and their Realtors, and their benefit is that they gain about 53 other Realtors to help sell their listings. All across the board I think this benefits everybody.” Royal LePage and Coast Realty Group already had a number of things in common prior to the merge. Both
companies are Canadian (Coast Realty Group was founded in Nanaimo back in 1984), and both pride themselves on their commitment to the Comox Valley community, something that won’t change with the acquisition. “Royal LePage and Coast are kind of a natural fit,” Hart said. “Royal LePage is 100 per cent a Canadian-owned company. If you look at the other franchises
around here, they’re not. “Coast also has the same community attitude as we do. We’re both very much involved in the Valley. Coast does the Christmas Hamper Program, we’re involved with the Snowto-Surf Race, we sponsor the Ladies’ North Island Golf Tournament, and last year we raised in the range of $10,000 for the women’s shelter, Lilli House. We do the Petite Fondo
Ride for Shelter, which raised $7,000 last year, and our goal is to raise $20,000 this year, which all goes to the Women’s Shelter Foundation. The Ladies’ Tillicum is also sponsored by Royal LePage and has been for about 15 years.” Continued on page A17
Gregg Hart owner/managing broker of Royal LePage in the Comox valley says reaction is, “...really positive about it, and that’s been pretty much everybody’s attitude.”

Working together with Coast Realty Group for their community and their clients is what has Royal LePage enthusiastic about the future. It’s a good fit, socially and business-wise, Hart emphasized, and he’s excited to see where things go from here. But what does he think about Royal LePage now being hailed as the largest real estate firm on Vancouver Island? “To be honest with you, I don’t think it’s even sunk in yet,” he answered, laughing. “Ask us six months from now.”

RUN: AND BE PART OF BRITISH COLUMBIA HISTORY
On BC Day, as part of Comox Nautical Days celebrations, Comox Valley Road Runners will be holding a 4 Mile Road Race through the streets of Comox. The race can claim the record of being the longest continuously held race in British Columbia and this year will be the 46th continuous year the race has been held.
The race starts at 9.00 am on Monday August 3rd 2015 at Comox Town Hall, 1809 Beaufort Avenue, Comox. Registration is on the day at the Town Hall between 8.00 - 8.45 am, with a fee of $10 for all, making this race one of the cheapest races you can take part in. Age category awards for all ages, as well as a prize for the first male & female runner, are included in the entry fee, together with tasty
28th Annual
post-race refreshments and some exciting draw prizes. The event is family orientated, with the majority of participants taking part to enjoy the fun aspect of the event. However, for those wishing to take the event seriously it is a fast course over an unusual distance (4 miles = approximately 6.5 kilometers). The route for the race is along Beaufort Avenue, Comox Avenue, Balmoral Avenue, Torrence Road, Noel Avenue, Linshart Road, Anderton Road & finishes on Comox Avenue. Please note for safety reasons strollers & pets are not permitted. For those not wishing to race, you can take in the finish and then watch the parade as both occur on Comox Avenue. The remainder of the day is full of fun, family orientated activities. Proceeds raised from the race are used by Comox Valley Road Runners (CVRR) to support many local charities, with numerous donations made annually. CVRR also supplies over 50 volunteers to ensure the race is both safe & successful. CVRR are grateful to their title sponsor, Jim Smiley of RE/MAX Ocean Pacific Realty and all other local businesses who support this event. Join us in a fun race as part of a great holiday event and support your local community in the process. For more information or if you have any questions, contact the race director Graham Garner at graham53@telus.net.

ranging from biggest fish to weirdest catch. Fishers supply their own fishing pole, barbless hooks and bait. Bullhead derby is sponsored by: Comox Valley Record, First Insurance, Canadian Tire and Gone Fishin’.
COMPASS ADVENTURE GAUNTLET Saturday – 6 pm This is a head to head knockout challenge. Racers will have a running start down the boat ramp to there awaiting boards. They will then need to jump onto their board and paddle a 150m course that will have a gigantic turn buoy. Once completing the turn mark, 4 of the 6 team members will jump from their boards to the Gauntlet! Leaving their paddles behind on the boards. These racers will then attempt to complete a 30ft runway ending in a huge inflatable splashdown slide. The Gauntlet will be extra slippery and there is no swimming allowed which means, if you fall off you must get back on where you came off. You must have all 4 team members finish the Gauntlet by hitting the water at the bottom of the slide.

WHAT’SatUP the Nanaimo country artist Brian Hazelbower will play to raise money for the Comox Valley Child Development Association.

Hazelbower brings country feel to 1st Tuesday Fundraiser The next 1st Tuesday Fundraiser event features contemporary country music artist Brian Hazelbower. A familiar radio personality from Nanaimo-based community radio station CHLY, Hazelbower hosted the Songwriter’s Circle for many years, and currently hosts the show Harbour City Beat, which promotes the music of Vancouver Island artists. Hazelbower has released two albums, One in a Million and Back to the Muse, the latter of which earned him the nomination of Male Vocalist of the Year at the Vancouver Island Music Awards in 2012. The evening starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be hosted by Judy and Bruce Wing, joined by violinist Blaine Dunaway for a diverse evening of musical entertainment. Admission is by donation, and Hazelbower has chosen to support the Comox Valley Child Development Association. All donation proceeds go to the charity, and representatives from the charity will be available to answer questions
and provide tax receipts. Food donations in support of the Comox Valley Food Bank Society are also welcome and always much appreciated. “We are in our seventh year of these monthly concerts, thanks to the continued sponsorship of the Mex Pub,” says event organizer Judy Wing. “The format is the same each month, but always just a little different with new musicians, supporters and different charities. “The talent of the musicians, the generosity of the audience, and the incredible spirit of volunteerism here in the Comox Valley are a wonderful thing to experience. If you haven’t come down before and have always been meaning to, we invite you to come and have a listen. Chances are you’ll be back again next month.” “The Comox Valley Child Development Association is thrilled to be part of this event,” says Joanne Schroeder, executive director of CVCDA. “We are gearing up for our 40th annual Children’s Telethon on the first of November and are grateful to all for our

community support year round. All funds raised will go toward enhancing our therapeutic facilities. We are looking forward to an evening of music and friendship thanks to Brian, Judy and Bruce, and the Mex.” The CVCDA has been a resource for families in the Comox Valley for more than three decades, providing childcare programs, support for children with special needs and their families, and consultations on many aspects of child development. A referral and consultation process allows staff to provide each family with an individualized service plan to access a wide variety of programs, most of which are fully funded. As part of their commitment to the delivery of high quality programs, the CVCDA is certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF Canada), an accreditation that is recognized internationally.

NIC instructor featured potter at Filberg, again
North Island College instructor and master potter Gordon Hutchens will headline the Filberg Festival as the guest artist for the fourth time. “You could call it my home show,” said the Denman Island potter, whose work is displayed around the world including the Bronfman family’s “Claridge Collection” and the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ontario. Hutchens’ work is a must-see for festival regulars, where his crystalline glazes, specially-crafted Denman lustre, and raku, salt and woodfired pieces regularly draw crowds and collectors. He is the only artist to be featured four times in the festival’s 33-year history. Hutchens has been previously featured in 1984, 1986, and again in 2003 with the Fired Up ceramic artists. This year, as Filberg Festival’s featured artist, he returns with a wider section of work than ever before. “It’s an opportunity to display a greater variety of work than I recall bringing in the past,” said Hutchens. “There will be larger size pieces and larger selection.” The festival is one of western Canada’s largest juried outdoor arts shows and has a world-wide reputation for excellent artisan work. Hutchens’ studio is nestled on nearby Denman Island, where he houses seven hand-crafted and manufactured kilns, including salt, gas-fired, electric kilns and a giant wood-fired anagama, designed and built with Japanese master builder Dr. Yukio Yamamoto. Every March, Hutchens and a community of NIC students, potters, friends and family, fire up his high temperature Tozan-style anagama kiln. “It’s a hungry fire-breathing dragon that eats five cords of wood over three days,” said Hutchens. “The ash follows the flame as it wends its way to the chimney up the hill, embellishing each piece of pottery with molten ash glaze as it passes.” (To see a video of

the anagama kiln in action, visit www.nic. bc.ca/finearts) The only privately owned Tozan-style anagama in North America is available to NIC fine arts students in the winter term. “Gordon’s course was a wonderful experience,” said student and potter Katy Fogg, who owns Living Earth pottery in the Comox Valley. “Though I had been potting for 14 years at the time of the course, I learned so much from his incredible depth of knowledge. He brings a lifetime of pottery to his students and is a gifted teacher as well as an extraordinary potter.” NIC is celebrating Gordon’s work by holding a social media competition. To win a Gordon Hutchens tea bowl, festival goers must post a selfie with his work and the tags #mynic_finearts and #filbergfest at the event. The Filberg Festival takes place July 31 to Aug. 3 at Filberg Park in Comox.

Take a holiday from caregiving ■ Wendy Johnstone SANDWICH GENERATION
I receive many calls from family caregivers who are wanting to take a holiday during the summer months. There can be a great deal of stress for both the caregivers and the person they are caring for around the idea of holidays. There are legitimate concerns and worries such as, “Who will look after my Dad overnight?”; “Can Mom afford private care?”; “My Mom has dementia and doesn’t want anyone else to care for her but me.” Probably the most common statement I hear though is, “I feel so guilty leaving them while I go away on holiday!” Taking a break is really important for caregivers. Without time away from caregiving duties, feelings of resentment and burnout may present themselves more readily. Being able to trust someone else to take
ily to meet expenses or emergency expenditures. Emergency contact: Keep a list of emergency telephone numbers and places of where you are staying at home with the caregiver and another trusted source. Contact your aging relative’s physician, case manager and/or head nurse prior to leaving and let them know you will be travelling and how they can reach you in an emergency. Emergency plan: Talking about what needs to be done in a medical emergency such as a stroke or broken hip is important. A signed health care proxy or representation agreement should be in place and its whereabouts known. And please, promise me and yourself not to feel an ounce of guilt about being away! Enjoy yourself knowing that your loved one is in good hands and that you deserve a break from your vital role as a family caregiver.

THE
care of an aging relative or your spouse, gaining clearer insight to the situation at hand and reconnecting with yourself and your family are just a few ways caregivers can benefit from a holiday. Here are some tips to make going on vacation a little easier: Clone yourself: OK, maybe not literally but do find a replacement caregiver or a network of support. It might be family or friends or you may decide to hire someone. It all depends on how much help and care is required, the length of time away and financial resources available. Checklists: It’s better to be over-prepared than under-prepared! Having detailed instructions for the caregiver will help ease your mind while you are away. Build in time for the care recipient to add to the checklist and enough lead time for everyone to feel comfortable with the care plan while you are away. Financial matters: Make sure all bills are pre-paid and that cash can be accessed eas-

SPORTS Locals boost B.C. to national title ■ Earle Couper coup @comoxvalleyrecord.com
The Comox Valley connection of Foster deWitt and Nakai Penny helped the BC U19 men win the Canadian Rugby Championship in Regina on July 19 thanks to an 11-8 victory over Ontario. Ontario’s Andrew Coe had a chance to tie the game with a penalty kick at the death, and thereby bump his team to the top of the podium via tie-breaking math, but his attempt was repelled in mid-flight by heavy winds. The nail-biting finish was the third consecutive game for B.C. that saw the outcome decided in the final minutes. B.C. had put themselves in position to hoist the CRC hardware following a 15-10 win over the Prairie Wolf Pack where deWitt scored the winning try on
Nakai Penny and Foster deWitt with the Canadian National Rugby PHOTO SUBMITTED Championship trophy in Regina. Saturday and a 12-7 win over the Atlantic Rock on Friday. Following a 56-5 thumping of the Voyageurs to open the tournament, the offence frustratingly sputtered for B.C. Luckily the team was able rise to the occasion on defence, especially in the
final, and take points opportunistically. “The boys really stepped up their physicality, particularly against Ontario,” said BC Rugby Performance Development Manager Dean Murten. “It was really good to see that type of effort from them.”
B.C.’s lone try against Ontario came just before half-time, courtesy of centre Phil Berna (Vancouver/UBC Thunderbirds). This marks the third time in the last four years that B.C. has won the U19 Canadian Rugby Championship, with previous victories coming in 2013 and 2012. Both deWitt and Penny were very involved and played in each game: Penny at loose forward and deWitt at front row. deWitt is currently with UBC and was a key player for G.P. Vanier and the Comox Valley Kickers. Penny recently moved to the Comox Valley from Penticton and also plays with UBC. This was deWitt’s fourth national title at various ages. UBC won the premier rugby crown in 2015 and it was the first time in 68 years. They are looking forward to a university tournament in Oxford in September while the World Cup is on in England.

to choose Golfathon helps to battle from! ALS
#1 selling car in Cana 16 years running
This is the 10th year of the PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS. During the month of June – ALS Awareness month – PGA of BC golf professionals golf from sunrise to sunset, lending their muscles to those who have lost the use of their muscles to ALS. The concept was born in the Comox Valley at Glacier Greens Golf Course. Scott Fraser was the head professional at the time and pledged to golf a full day in honour of friend Bruce Taylor who had recently been diagnosed with ALS. After his day of golf, Fraser approached the PGA of BC board, of which he was a member, to encourage the membership to join in the Golfathon for ALS. The rest is history. Since the inception, this event has grown to 37 courses with over 100 golf professionals taking part. To date over, $1,150,000 has been raised to support patient service programs provided through the ALS Society of BC. Over the 10 years, participants have golfed the equivalent of three-quarters the way around the world

The tasty pink salmon have arrived OUTDOORS
Pink salmon are the smallest of our five species of Pacific Salmon we traditionally fish for throughout the season. One estimate of this year’s Fraser River run is about 23,000,000 (yes, that is 23 million) pink and most of them will probably go past our waterfront as they migrate to the mouth of the Fraser River. There are also millions of pink returning to their mother streams and rivers in Strait of Georgia. To be the smallest in a species of fish that is famous for its excitement and power as a fighting fish, is to be on the bottom of the salmon desirability chart if your goal is a large fish as in chinook, coho or chum salmon. On the other hand if you are humble enough to see this beautiful salmon as a magnificent species in its own right that provides great sport to all who fish them on light tackle. Their culinary qualities are the equal of any other species of salmon. You are now mentally tuned to enjoying pink salm-
Beach fishing is a good method to use for catching pink salmon.

on fishing in local marine waters for the next six weeks. The 2015 season may go into the record books of the future as the year when the ocean produced millions of pink salmon and the home streams left them homeless to procreate their kind in dry river beds due to prolonged drought and water - too warm to survive in. Such may be the ecological tragedy facing the 2015 salmon runs. Due to low water conditions, already existing in all the streams south of Campbell River with the exception of the Qualicums, are closed to all in stream angling. I am not running the show but if I was I would apply the same rules to the streams north of
the Campbell unless there was solid evidence of adequate water sources feeding a river system with suitable temperature ranges. So where does this leave a place for anglers to catch these abundant salmon arriving in our local waters on daily basis? Beach fishing is a well established method on hundreds of kilometres of beach fronts in Area 14 and elsewhere in the Strait of Georgia. Of all our popular chinook area, pink salmon will be so common they will considered a nuisance by those trying for other species. When targeting pink salmon their name is a good clue in choice of colour of fly or lure. Generally typical sockeye hoochies or small
pink spoons or jigs will work well. Casting form shore during a flood tide is a good time to catch them without the need of a boat. When a school of fish is approaching you will learn to recognize the disturbance in the water. To be successful, just cast ahead of the school and time your lure retrieval so it passes through the school. Be prepared for an active strike and a good exchange on light tackle. ••• Between Family Fishing and the Comox Nautical Days the children of our Valley get to participate in two important children’s fishing events.

Normally there will be about 500 small anglers aged from three to 12 years of age crawling all over the government wharf like a school of ants attracted to a source of special food. Little people will be assisted by anxious grandparents, parents and family friends in their efforts to catch a bullhead.

lumbar support, lights, leather seatsupport fog lights ing surfaces, a power sunroof, and LED signature daytime running lights. While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels. Yum. I found it to be refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, this Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features – aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine – is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but less work for your left leg! If you find yourself towing a lot, or even wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five inside, this SUV comes with all the right touches. The refreshed interior design and styling is highly appealing to those who want a posh truck, without paying the equivalent price of its familiar equivalents: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel or the Audi Q7 TDI. The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275 and goes from there.

The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. Okay, that’s a decent amount of coin, and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eightspeed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets in a copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and into the cabin. A strong point of VWs as long as I can remember is how its cabin says so much with saying so little. For example: the centre stack. The perfect combination of buttons and touchscreen make the infotainment so easy to use and one that is not hard to navigate. Then there’s the fuel economy. In the city, it uses an estimated 12.0L/100km in the city and 8.1L/100km on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has allwheel drive. There are a couple more TDI options for you, too. There’s the larger Passat sedan and then there’s the funky Beetle. Visit www.vw.ca for more information. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

May 3, 1927 Jarrow, Alberta – July 23, 2015 Courtenay, BC Aneta was very proud that her pioneer parents Otelia and Vigo Lindberg were homesteaders from Denmark. As a child of the depression and the 2nd of 4 daughters, Aneta knew that homemade fun was best and simple things were to be appreciated. She had many stories about growing up on the prairies around the Viking/Jarrow area of Alberta. Week long blizzards, riding her saddle pony, walking with her sisters across the ÄŽelds to their one room schoolhouse, Christmas concerts and dances with cousins and neighbours in the farm house kitchen were favourite memories. She was always devoted to both her parents and 2 younger sisters and loved singing with them as they did the supper dishes. Aneta was working as a teacher when she met Wershing SuĆŠer, 2nd of 4 sons, from Loughheed, Alberta. He was farming with his parents and brothers aĹŒer his sĆ&#x;nt in the Air &orce. dhe couple soon eloped to Camrose in the spring of 1947 and returned to build a small coĆŠage, up in the low hills, down a narrow dirt trail. Hand painted buĆŠerŇies on the kitchen walls, the occasional badger in the cellar, and a balky milk cow in the lean-to barn had them all set to start a family. In 5 years they had 3 daughters, Dianne (Russ), Bonnie (Juan) and Susan (Keith). In 1953 the family followed Aneta’s parents to the Portland, Oregon area. Pershing bought a garage/ gas staĆ&#x;on and worked on anything with a motor. Aneta always thought Oregon was the most beauĆ&#x;ful, progressive place on earth. dhe family returned to Alberta to help work the SuĆŠer farm in 19ϲ2. Aneta enĹŠoyed aĆŠending the Lutheran church, going to community dances and being a farm wife. She grew a large garden, canned anything not nailed down, delivered huge lunches down to the ÄŽelds, drove trucks and tractors and took care of an assortment of livestock. Aneta and Persh reĆ&#x;red from their farm in 197Ď´, and happily moved to Peachland, B.C. dhey built a beauĆ&#x;ful house overlooking the lake up in the pinehills. In 19Ď´2 they moved to Bowser to be closer to the kids. dhey bought an acreage and Aneta was happy to have long summer visits with their grandchildren dodd, Kwel, Dandy, ach and Arabella. dhey became Phoenix Snowbirds. Aneta bought a large kiln and conĆ&#x;nued with her art proĹŠects. Persh’s declining health necessitated a move to the Comox Valley. Aneta volunteered in the hospital auxiliary, began community guitar lessons at the &ilberg Centre and enĹŠoyed numerous trips to her sister Stella’s family in Portland, and her sister Ellen’s family in Alberta.

Funeral service will be held Sat , Aug. 1, 1pm at the Florence Filberg 411 Anderton Ave, Courtenay, BC V9N 6C6 (250) 338-1000
Aneta’s husband passed away on November 10, 2003 and by the spring she had contracted to have the enĆ&#x;re house interior painted in pinks and melon shades and covered every window in lace curtains. She organized family reunions, chili cookoÄŤs and conĆ&#x;nued baking her wonderful cookies earning her the family nick name “Grandma Cookie.â€? About this Ć&#x;me, mom thought it would be fun to start a kitchen band. “dhe Country Girls and Guysâ€? was a great success. Aneta was never happier, hosĆ&#x;ng rehearsals, making song books, handling “gigsâ€? at local care faciliĆ&#x;es. A special thank you from our family goes to Ron Burr of Comox, who acted as Aneta’s handyman/gardener. Ron’s kindness, interest and humour aided mom in staying in her house longer as it slowly became more and more apparent that she was beginning to suÄŤer from Alzheimers. Aneta was very reluctant to leave her house and move to Casa Loma. However once she was seĆŠled in, she enjoyed the good company and meals and her cozy apartment. She played non-stop games of crib with her best friend Andre and got lots of kind direcĆ&#x;on form Cindy and enjoyed acĆ&#x;viĆ&#x;es with Judy. Aneta’s ÄŽnal home was as special care unit at Glacier View. dhe very kind experienced aides made her short stay there as pleasant as possible. dhe family would parĆ&#x;cularly like to thank Aneta’s primary nurse Shannon for her loving care and Erika Daynard, Aneta’s nurse pracĆ&#x;Ć&#x;oner. dhere will be a gathering of friends and family in the fall.

Kirby Bruce Becker Kirby Becker passed away on July 22nd at his home in Royston, B.C. Born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan on October 5th, 1934. Kirby was a character and a man of many careers over the years from RCMP to the proud proprietor of Kirby’s Kennels. Always tinkering away in one of his many sheds or working on a project in the yard. In recent years, with the help of his trusty riding lawnmower and customised trailer, he maintained his mobility and transitioned into a more supervisory and tool bearing role around the property. Of the many things that spring to mind about dad, these stand out, John Wayne, Johnny Cash, and John Deere. His gruff voice and cheeky sense of humour are dearly missed. Survived by his wife, Violet of Royston, B.C., and children, Judson of Royston, B.C., and Dawn of Amsterdam, North Holland. His siblings, William and Merna of Calgary, A.B. His daughter-in-law, Natasha, and three grandchildren. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 1st at 11:00am at Cumberland Recreation Institute 2665 Dunsmuir, Cumberland. Please join us in remembering Kirby.

Roy Williamson It is with great sadness, we announce on July 26, 2015 the passing of Roy Williamson at the age of 82. Roy lost his battle with cancer but his last days were made comfortable by the fine staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law Joan and Jim Lucas, all his nephews and nieces and his loving companion France Hughes. Roy loved to live and laugh and enjoyed golf, fishing, gardening and playing cards with family and friends. He will be remembered as a kind, friendly and gentle soul and will be greatly missed.

Courtenay filmmaker documenting Goodwin ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com
He was a rebellious labour activist, speaker and leader. He arrived in Cumberland not once, but twice - the first time to work in the mines, and a second time to hide in the woods to avoid the draft. He was elected vice-president of the British Columbia Federation of Labour, and president of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. His death - shot by a member of the Dominion Police who claimed self-defence - sparked the Vancouver general strike on Aug. 2, 1918 - a one-day general strike with about 5,500 workers walking off the job, including longshoreman and shipbuilders. Ginger Goodwin’s impact on Cumberland stretches deep into its history, and Courtenay filmmaker Neil Vokey’s documentary Goodwin’s Way aims to show history has a way of repeating itself. “I first heard of Ginger Goodwin from my high school teacher. It was casually relayed to me in school, and at (Capilano University) a teacher said the story would make a really good documentary,” Vokey said over the phone from Vancouver where he attends film school at the university. “Through the research process, I could see how his history was quite rebellious, and it touches on so many important parts of (Cumberland’s) past, and my goal was to keep the story tethered to the present - it was a balancing act.” His 60-minute digital film looks at Goodwin’s history and the community fighting for autonomy over its past and future. He examined the oral tapestry of Goodwin - some who remember him as a criminal, and others who admire his ideals of equality and self-determination. “I was learning the history (while making the film) - it’s entirely so complex,” noted Vokey. “(Goodwin) represents other injustices. There’s Goodwin the individual and Goodwin who can represent others in a broader sense.” With the story shot, he turned to the crowdsourcing site Indiegogo to raise $12,000 to edit and finish the film. He said distribution of the completed film will be done the same way as it was told – at a grassroots level – but hopes to have the film featured in a variety of documentary film festivals across Canada. “The film will be finished by the end of the year, and I’m hoping to have a launch party I’m just figuring out the when and the where,” he added. Vokey has raised $7,700 in one month, and has one day left to reach his goal. With more information on the film or to support the campaign, visit bit.ly/1U5h8PO

Members of CFB Comox, volunteers and community members are encouraging the public to choose public transit as a means of getting to the Comox Air Show this year, set for Aug. 15.

Organizers say take a bus to the air show ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com
With an increased number of food vendors, designated buses and a secure bike lock-up, next month’s Comox Air Show is looking to soar with patrons. Building on the 2013 Air Show, which returned to the Comox Valley following nearly a 10-year hiatus, Maj. Mary Lee, publicity director for the show, explained organizers hope to attract more than 15,000 people to CFB Comox Aug. 15. “We are opening our doors and want to salute the community we serve,” she said and added the show will feature flying and static displays, including the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the CF-18 demo team and a new addition - the Canadian Forces SkyHawks Canada’s only military parachute demo team. At the 2013 show, traffic flow primarily at the end of the show near the exit area - was an issue, and Lee said organizers have worked hard to create a traffic plan to ease congestion both entering and exiting the parking area. Patrons driving to the show are asked to take either Lerwick Road to Guthrie Road and then to Pritchard Road or Anderton Road to access Knight Road. Entry for parking to the show will be accessed through Glacier Greens Golf Course, with two exit locations for vehicles leaving the parking area. Although parking is available, Lee is encouraging patrons to take
either public transit through a park-and-ride system with a designated route for the air show, or to take bikes with a secure lock-up compound and separate pedestrian entrance. Transit park-and-ride locations are available at the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds and North Island College. There is no charge for the service, which is estimated to be in 15-minute intervals, but a donation is welcome to help cover the cost of the service. For travellers flying in or out of the Comox Valley Airport from Aug. 14 to 16, Christianne Wile, manager of marketing and public communications for the airport commission, noted airport patrons have a designated route to follow. “A special access route via Ryan Road and Military Row has been designated to help airport users avoid traffic congestion from the Comox Air Show,” she explained and added a special YQQ Airport Access Pass is available for download on the airport’s website at www.comoxairport.com. While the pass isn’t required for access on the Ryan Road route, it is encouraged to aid traffic flow. Wile also added to expect delays and arrive early for flights, as some commercial aircraft will be parked in a different location and passengers will require busing to get to their plane. Gates for the air show will open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m., with post-show entertainment. Flying commences at 11 a.m. For more information, a detailed list of performers, displays, maps, and permitted items, visit comoxairshow.ca or follow the Comox Air Show on Facebook and Twitter.
