“What a special day in the woods near Sayward,” says MidWeek reader Catherine Hufnagel of the Comox Valley. “When you see such a proud mamma bear with her sweet little cubs, it makes being a photographer so special.” Hufnagel was walking down a logging road when she first noticed the cubs sleeping on a log.

Recumbent journey Earle Couper Black Press COURTENAY — The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. For Bruce Gordon, a circumnavigation of the globe began with the first push of a pedal on his Bacchetta recumbent bike. The former Comox Valley resident is on a solo trip around the world with a twofold purpose: to beat the Guinness world record for fastest unsupported global circumnavigation by bicycle and to raise funds for World Vision. Taking some major time off from his job as a roofer in Sechelt, Gordon has had many adventures, the most recent in celebrating his 49th birthday on July 23 as he peddled through the sweltering heat that has hit the east coast of North
America. “Right now the biggest challenge has been the heat,” Gordon said in an e-mail sent from a recent stop that had WiFi access. “This morning, 10 a.m, as I rode through Greenwich (in New York), the temp was 97F. Not sure what it was at noon but I can tell you, it was smokin’ hot. The breeze felt like it was coming from an oven. “As I am set to travel south as far as Fort Myers (Florida), then turn towards the Canadian Prairies, then turning back towards Yuma before turning towards home, I best not be complaining about the heat,” he said. Gordon’s remarkable journey began April 8 from the driveway of his Halfmoon Bay home (just north of Sechelt
on the Sunshine Coast). That’s also the finish line, but he says nailing down the day the trip will end is tough. “Somewhere around the end of August. I will know better as I get closer.” While enjoying spectacular scenery in locales such as Italy, Spain, Greece, and Australia, Gordon also has an eye on the clock as he attempts to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. “The current record is held by Vin Cox of the U.K.,” Gordon said. “He completed the circumnavigation (29,331 kilometres) according to the Guinness rules in 163.5 days — an average of 177 kilometres per day. My average has slipped some since arriving back in America. “Still, I’m sitting at
about 185 kpd. I hope to finish with at least a 200 kpd average. That means I’ve got some work to do.” Gordon says the number of hours a day he spends on the road varies. “If I were to figure out the average, I’d guess it would be around eight hours of actual ride time, not including the breaks for lunch, etc. Many days have been over 12 hours actual ride time, some have only amounted to five or six.” Gordon says he has not suffered the loneliness of a longdistance solo cyclist. “I thought it was going to be a lonely adventure but it hasn’t been. I meet lots of folks who want to gab. Lots of people interested in the bike, then the adventure. And I keep in touch Cont. on Page 4

From Page 3 with a growing number of friends through social media – Twitter, Facebook, TMT, e-mail, etc.” Speaking of social media, all the details of Gordon’s tour are on his website at www. globebent.org. There is a link to donate to World Vision, and a regularly updated blog that is well worth the
read – especially the tale of his run-in with a Mad Max-type big rig trucker in Australia. The tour has its challenges and highlights, Gordon said. “Major challenges change from day to day. Sometimes it’s the headwinds, or the rain. Sometimes it’s simply the terrain. If it’s hilly for days on

There have been many ... making it back to the spot I cruised into when returning to America by cruiseship. The Cunard pier in NY Harbour. I flew from there to St. John’s, Nfld. to begin the America leg of my ride on Canada Day. “The last day in Australia was both the toughest of them all
— for a lot of reasons — and the most memorable. It really tested me, that one did. So many evenings riding into the sunset, then after dark, as the desert came alive with the night sounds.

big meal at the end of a tough day is a huge memorable highlight. People’s kindness and generosity. The crazy rain and awesome lightning show in Macedonia. One very windy day in Italy. There’s plenty more,” Gordon said. Gordon’s proud mom Audrey Fallock, who lives in the Valley, encourages people to visit her son’s website and help him meet his goal of raising $16,250 for Zambia’s povertystricken children. “Let him know you are rooting for him,” Fallock said.

Students pay it forward with chocolate Lisa Scheck Special to Black Press COURTENAY — A 55-pound chocolate Easter egg was recently on display in the Hot Chocolates store. Veronica Hastings, a Grade 4 student at Valley View Elementary School whose mother works at the store, mentioned to Hot Chocolates owner Jorden Marshall how she would love to be able to share this egg with her classmates. Marshall liked Hastings’ message of sharing and decided to donate the egg to Valley View School. In keeping with the spirit of sharing, kindness and generosity, each of the 17 divisions at Valley View “hatched” a plan
of how they could “pay it forward” and give back to others. Marshall donated an additional 33 pounds of chocolate to the school, and the 88 pounds of chocolate were divided evenly amongst all of the classes. Each class chose to use its five pounds of chocolate in different ways. Many classes baked with it and raised money for various organizations through bake sales, while others donated the chocolate itself. At the end of this process, Valley View students raised $102 for the popular Comox Valley charity You Are Not Alone (YANA); $196.80 for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life;

Yes indeed, there is apparently a market for old candy wrappers! But where, we ask, where are the real antique stores? The stores which take you back in time as you gaze upon items three or four hundred years old. Places where even goods from the 19th century are still considered modern? If you look hard enough there are still some out there but sadly they have all pretty much gone, disappeared, pushed out of business by on-line charlatans and junk dealers who cater to customers who are less informed than they ought. While many antique dealers continue to have a passionate love and deep knowledge of their trade they have found that market forces severely impact the type of stock which they can offer to their clients. To make things more difficult the supply of genuine antiques has diminished partly because of a slowdown in the world economy and partly because vendors are using online sites to sell.
