Drug bust at marina

Crappy thing to do

It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Comox Valley RCMP responded to a call just before midnight Aug. 24 to a report of a topless female running along Veteran’s Memorial Parkway in Courtenay. When police arrived on scene they found an intoxicated man stumbling along the roadway wearing only shorts. The man was arrested for being drunk in public and was to be released once sober. However, once in cells, the man proceeded to defecate and smear the feces throughout his cell and into the hallway area. Although no permanent damage was done to the Comox Valley detachment, much discomfort was felt by the employees as they had to spend hours ensuring the area was thoroughly cleaned. Police confirm the man has been charged with mischief and will need to attend court to deal with his actions. — Comox Valley RCMP

Room rentals available for parties

More drugs are off the streets thanks to a recent seizure from the Comox Valley RCMP’s drug section. On Oct. 5, a 47-yearold Courtenay man was arrested at the Comox Marina shortly after stepping off a plane returning from Vancouver. Jeffrey Scott Pasanen is being charged with possession of heroin for purpose of trafficking and possession of cocaine. — Comox Valley RCMP

Bell outlines strategy of creating jobs in province Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Creating jobs, attracting investment and opening new markets for products and services is the idea behind Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan, introduced last month by Premier Christy Clark. Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Pat Bell spoke about the plan with politicians and members of the Comox Valley business community Friday at the Native Sons Hall. In an effort to accelerate growth, the plan intends to leverage the strengths of B.C.’s most competitive sectors — forestry, mining, natural gas, agrifoods, technology, tourism, transportation and international education — to bring new dollars into the economy, Bell explained. The plan was built on three ‘pillars’ under two core foundations, including “10 years of sound fiscal management,” Bell said. He feels the growing economies of China and India are critical elements in terms of market expansion. “I believe we need to be in those marketplaces in order to be successful. We need to think about how we reverse our transportation infrastructure in a way that moves our goods to market,” said Bell, noting containers that came into Canada used to go back empty to China. These days, however, nearly 90 per cent of containers go back full while only 10 or 15 per cent go back full to the U.S.

PAT BELL FIELDS a question at the Native Sons Hall and gestures (below) while making a point in an address in Courtenay. PHOTOS BY SCOTT STANFIELD Bell said government needs to increase B.C.’s port capacity to get goods to market. He notes economists expect the Chinese economy will triple in about the next 20 years. “That is an enormous opportunity for us,” Bell said. The province is asking communities to decide which core sectors apply to their region. Government will then establish a database in an effort to stimulate the economy. “Once you make that decision, we want to be here to help support that and bring all of the efforts of the government to bear on this area,” Bell said. “Clearly tourism is impor-

tant,” he said on behalf of the Comox Valley, also noting the ocean, agrifoods and affordability of real estate. Bell said there is also “huge value” attached to each international student who comes into the area. “We have 94,000 international students in B.C., (which has created) 22,000 direct full-time jobs.” The optimistic Bell points to Australia in the Olympic year of 2000 when they focused their efforts on their core strengths, and looked at China and India to develop new markets. “Their economic growth from 2000 to 2010 is nothing short of stunning,” he said, noting the average Gross Domestic Product per citizen increased by nearly

300 per cent in 10 years. Over the next couple of years, the province will invest $24 million to enable different ministries to clear the backlog of permits that hold up jobs. It also intends to look at new ways of doing business with First Nations, to create a new investments office located in Bell’s ministry that will help “streamline the process” and to work with federal partners about the environmental assessment process. Senior levels of government go through two separate processes that Bell said are virtually identical in nature. “There’s no reason for that. We should be harmonizing those two processes,” he said. A focus of the plan is to boost exports to make it easier for businesses that want to invest in B.C. Among other things, the province is committed to eight new mines and expanding nine others by 2015. This is expected to generate $1.6 billion of additional revenue per year, and to create about 1,800 new jobs and sustain more than 5,000 direct mining jobs. Bell recognizes the controversy and challenges surrounding the underground coal mine proposed in Baynes Sound, noting the “promises of economic development” on one hand and concerns from the public and shellfish growers on the other. Government also plans to create an Aboriginal Business and Investment Council. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Developers still working toward Sage Hills rezoning Record Staff

A major hurdle was cleared in March when the regional district board adopted the Comox Valley Regional Growth Strategy bylaw, but the proponents of Sage Hills still need another couple of months to piece

together financial details before they are ready to apply for rezoning at their Royston acreage. The RGS is a land-use document that includes the Sage Hills Sports and Education Node as a core settlement area. The designation is intended to allow for spe-

cific land-use activities to benefit the Valley in terms of employment, economic development and investment, recreation, community programs, servicing infrastructure and green development technologies. “The designation came through, that was a huge and very positive move,”

Sage Hills development president David Russell said last week. “We’re feeling very positive, actually. “It’s a bit tough to work in this kind of global economic climate, but the project’s been well received... We’re definitely moving towards the finish line on that front. We’re quite posi-

tive about it.” The Victoria-based company plans to build a stateof-the-art, sustainable community at a 2,083-acre parcel at the northwest side of Royston. The plan includes residences, commercial property, a University Canada West campus, a private kin-

dergarten to Grade 12 school and a sports academy. A proposed ice sheet would be available to the public at night and selected weekends. The plan also calls for the creation of a regional park where the parcel borders the Trent River. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Comox firefighters are investigating the cause of a fire which fully consumed a home on Greenwood Crescent on Friday night. Assistant fire chief Jim Lariviere said the two-storey home was totally engulfed in flames when he first arrived on scene. “It was a total burndown, and firefighters were not going inside. The fire was under control and confined to the structure,” he noted, and added with nearby mobile homes, firefighters wanted to ensure the fire did not spread. He said the three occupants of the home were safely outside upon arrival, with just a minor injury to one person. Although the cause is still under investigation, Lariviere noted he believes the fire

Few attend public hearing Erin Haluschak Record Staff

A new mixed residential and commercial development proposed for Beaufort Avenue is one step closer to reality following a quick public hearing last Wednesday night. Two weeks ago, councillors approved first and second reading to a zoning amendment to allow for a 1,923-square-metre commercial building at 1829 Beaufort Ave, along with a separate four-storey, 14-unit condo building on the harbour side of the lot. Despite a handful of residents who attended the public hearing, there were no names recorded on the speakers’ list, and no speakers who voiced opinions for or against the project. The original plans for the site was for the 38-unit Mandira by the Sea, but due to the poor economic outlook in the past few years it did not come to fruition. ••• A proposal by a Comox resident to

RCAF/CAP women to gather Women who served in the RCAF will once again gather for the annual potluck dinner at the Comox Legion this Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring a favourite salad, casserole or finger foods or you may make a donation at the door. Bring any photos and memorabilia. A large delegation from the Comox Valley attended the RCAF Airwomen’s 60th anniversary in Edmonton in June. If you were there and have photos, please bring them. A fun part of the afternoon is the white elephant regift exchange. If you would like to participate, bring a wrapped item that you no longer need and your name will be entered in the draws. Although this gathering is billed as RCAF, women who have served in the CAP are welcome, too. Please pass word along to anyone you know who may be interested and had not

Mike Couture asked council in an e-mail to look at the possibility of creating an electronic billboard directed at traffic travelling uphill to promote events and activities of interest to local residents. He added in his e-mail that consideration could be given to solar power for the sign, and that traffic moving into Comox at the hill is travelling slowly enough for drivers to be able to read the announcements safely. ••• It’s been a recordbreaking month for the Comox Archives and

Courtenay Mayor Greg Phelps announced Friday he will seek a second term. In making the announcement, he acknowledges the hard work of the current city council, describing a philosophy of “Us Together” as opposed to one person; looking at the fact that “not one of us knows more than all of us.” “I want to thank each of the councillors for their heartfelt contributions over the past three years. Although conflict is inevitable and necessary within any group — there has been a sense of respect for different views and a sense that the focus is the greater view of what is good for the city. “This term we say goodbye to Coun. Murray Presley who has chosen not to run again in this year’s election. Murray did a great job in bringing the business community’s concerns to the table while at the same time maintaining his sense of humour. His 12 years of experience will be missed.” Phelps stated, “I’m proud of the initiatives we as a council have undertaken; reducing the commercial tax rate allowing a healthy local business community and ensur-

Computer helps society The Comox Valley Senior Peer Counselling Society thanks Soroptimist International of Courtenay for their assistance with the purchase of our new computer and state-ofthe-art software. “We are in a period of rapid growth, and a computer is an essential tool to manage our programs and communicate with the community,” the society says in a news release. In addition to being able to commence creating new program brochures describing the seven different programs that volunteers offer to seniors aged 55 and older in the Comox Valley, the society says it can now also redesign its volunteer application forms and volunteer training packages. As more seniors are moving to the area to be cared for by family or access assisted living from more remote areas, the society says it finds its programs need to expand. “As a non-profit society, we can only do this with the support and generosity of groups such as Soroptimist.” Soroptimist International of Courtenay is a service club working to improve the lives of women and girls both locally and around the world. “The donation to this society provides some

Dust off those dancing shoes, because there’s a dance this Saturday night at the Upper Courtenay Legion Hall. Dance Town is a wonderful social venue with a relaxed atmosphere where all the dancers mix and mingle with all genres of social dancers. Keith and Holly Foraie of Steppin’ Out Dance Company host this monthly dance to encourage people to get out of the house, meet new people, socialize and find out just how much fun social dancing really is. But they warn everyone that it can become quite addicting. Guest instructors John Kirkconnell and Heather Crowe from Vancouver will teach a class in West Coast swing. The first half hour is for the beginner dancer. Doors are open at 7 p.m. with the class starting at 7:30. Then dance the night away to a great mix of dance music for all dance styles. Included with the dance ticket, is a snack buffet and a chance to win a great door prize. The dance starts at 8:30 p.m. The cost for the lesson or dance is $10 or both for $15. Singles and couples are welcome. The Foraies also provide dance classes that are always fun and social. They have been

Sherab Chamma Ling, the Tibetan Bon Buddhist Centre, invites you to attend their first Weekend Teaching Retreat. This will take place on the weekend of Oct. 21 to 23. The topic The Six Lokas — Healing Meditations is taken from the Tibetan Bon Dzogchen text “Zhangzhung Nyan-gyud, written in the eighth century. These meditation practices use the methods of: mantra, visualization, and contemplation. They are designed to remove obstacles for ourselves or for those going through the Bardo after death and are considered one of the most important purification meditations in the Bon Dzogchen tradition. The primary purpose of the Loka meditations is to purify ignorance

Fall is now upon us and is the time of year when many retirees look to convert their RSPs into retirement income. Government rules dictate RSPs must be collapsed by the end of the year its owner turns 71. Most will choose the RIF option. This can be a scary proposition with financial markets around the world exhibiting extreme daily volatility due to challenging issues that include the European debt problem, the U.S. debt and fiscal problems — and the list goes on. However, with GIC rates around 1.25 to 2.6 per cent, investors are seemingly left with few choices, and tough ones at that. Investors often perceive market or equity market risk to be the primary risk to their retirement income. Although capital preservation is extremely important, there are more related risks that are equally important to address when considering one’s retirement income. These include: infla-

• People 65 years of age and over and their caregivers • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts • Health care workers • Emergency responders • Healthy children aged 6-23 months • Household contacts and caregivers of children aged 0-23 months • Pregnant women who will be in their 3rd trimester during the inﬂuenza season • Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities • Owners and operators of poultry farms • Aboriginal peoples • People who are very obese (those with a body mass index of 40 or greater) • Corrections ofﬁcers and inmates in provincial correctional institutions • Those who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons (e.g. crew on ships)

Searchers seek Time to protect you, others from flu fresh recruits Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue is once again searching for interested volunteers who are in good health and are interested in the outdoors. Are you able to drop everything on a moment’s notice to help someone in need? If so, then we can teach you how to use these qualities to serve the community and province. CVGSAR, one of the busiest SAR teams in the province, commits some 16,000 hours to training, operations and community events annually and maintains an active roster of 60-plus highly skilled volunteer search and rescue technicians with additional specialist teams. CVGSAR members are on call 24/7, 365 days a year in support of requests from the RCMP, BC Ambulance, the BC Coroner Service, Parks Canada and the Department of National Defence as well as support municipal governments in time of civil disaster. While wilderness experience and skills in navigation are preferred, if you are 18 years of age, physically fit and willing to work as a member of a team, CVGSAR may be for you. New recruits will be asked to make a minimum six-month commitment to training prior to being selected to participate in the mandatory Ground Search and Rescue Certification Program. The program, running an additional four months, provides recruits with training in basic SAR disciplines such as: An introduction to Search and Rescue in British Columbia, Search tactics, lost person behavior, wilderness navigation (map and compass), first aid, communications, helicopter operations, introduction to rope rescue, swift water rescue, avalanche rescue, tracking, GPS navigation, and wilderness survival. The information session Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. at our hall at 3001 Moray Ave. in Courtenay. If you are unable to make this night, submit a resume and cover letter to Box 3511, Courtenay, B.C. V9N 5N5. — Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue

If you could easily protect yourself, your family and those you come into contact with from the flu, why wouldn’t you? That is the question the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) wants you to consider and encourages everyone to get the flu shot this season. “With the flu season already upon us, we want to remind everyone about the importance of getting immunized,” said Dr. Murray Fyfe, VIHA’s medical health officer. The vaccine includes protection from H1N1 as well as two other strains. “The vaccine is the same as last year’s, however immunity does not last, which is why getting an annual flu shot is so important,” noted Fyfe. “The earlier you get your shot in the flu season, the sooner you will be protected throughout the season.” Starting in mid-October, VIHA will provide public flu immunization clinics in communities across the Island to the following groups who are eligible for free flu shots: • People 65 years of age and over and their caregivers; • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts; • Health-care workers;

PRODUCER CORWIN FOX and singer-songwriter Miss Emily Brown are Morlove, which performs Oct. 18 at the Cumberland United Church.

Morlove called breathtaking‘experimental folk duo’ Duo are touring this fall with a talented new string section Morlove is the breathtaking collaboration of songwriter, multiinstrumentalist and producer Corwin Fox and folk-pop singersongwriter Miss Emily Brown. The two blend vintage keys, guitars, mandolin and hushed vocal harmonies into intricate, acoustic folk songs that are touched by engaging and unexpected pop nuances.

This experimental folk duo was born around the campfire of the 2007 Artswells Festival in Wells, B.C. Brown and Fox complement each other beautifully, brushing gently against each other as writers and tastefully restrained singers. Nominated for the 2010 Polaris Prize, Morlove’s debut album All of My Lakes Lay Frozen Over is a collection of evocative folksongs ranging from hushed vocal harmonies and delicate strings to explosions of horns, pulsing pianos and choirs of banjos in unorthodox time signatures.

The two blend vin❝ tage keys, guitars, mandolin and hushed vocal harmonies into intricate, acoustic folk songs that are touched by engaging and unexpected pop nuances.

❞

Recorded in snowy Wells, All of My Lakes features borrowed instruments from local attics and salons — including sousaphone,

player piano, pump organ and typewriter — relics of the 1930s gold-rush town. Exclaim! Magazine has called All my Lakes Lay Frozen Over “evocative yet mysterious, presented in high-range voices that are practically angelic. The album includes jazz and post-rock leanings within things like Old Perfume, and When You Come Down has the frontier shuffle of Calexico coursing through it. All told, there’s a unique depth to Morlove’s debut record,which sidles up to the edge of the unknown abyss, with its palm safely grasping the

handrail.” Morlove is working on their followup album, a project based on the theme of Pattern. They have just returned from a residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts where they began exploring the possibilities of collaborative songwriting.

People’s music in series

Guests joining Indigo Indigo Jazz returns to Thursday Jazz at the Elks, with special guests. The core members of Indigo Jazz are Dale Graham (vocals), Rick Husband (guitar) and John Hyde (bass). The trio expands to a quintet for their Oct. 13 appearance, joined by Carrie Fowler on saxophone and Tracy Myers on drums and percussion. There is no doubt that tenor saxophonist Carrie Fowler has music in her blood. By the age of 12, she joined her father, mother, and brother in the 18-piece dance band the Harbour Lights, based in Pender Harbour and directed by her father, Les Fowler. Carrie now plays regularly in the Little Big Band, and appeared in the standing-room-only March 2010 Women of Jazz show. Myers was also featured in the Women of Jazz show, and Indigo Jazz leader Dale Graham has been itching to perform again with her. Tracy’s playing is informed by two years of jazz studies at Malaspina College and by self-directed study in West Africa, Cuba, and Brazil. She is a 20-year veteran of drumming/percussion and spoken word performance. John Hyde has a wealth of experience in performing, arranging, composing, and teaching jazz. In his hands,

DRUMMER TRACY MYERS joins Indigo Jazz for a special quintet performance Thursday at the Elks hall. the acoustic bass finds the perfect mix of personality, precision, and support. He has performed with Lee Konitz, Hugh Fraser, Phil Nimmons, and Oliver Jones, among others. His 2010 relocation to the Comox Valley has been good fortune for the local jazz music scene. Rick Husband has performed extensively across Vancouver Island, in big bands, small combos, and everything in between. He is a compelling guitarist, highly responsive to his fellow players. He also communicates beautifully to his listeners by integrating

improvised lines with familiar motifs and genres. Graham’s compelling performances and her agile, warm voice have garnered her a following among local jazz fans. With Indigo Jazz, she brings the listener the double pleasure of classic jazz standards and less-familiar tunes and arrangements. Showtime is 7:30; admission is by donation. Come early for best seating. For more informa-

Images from the Likeness House will appeal to ethnographers, photographers, history buffs and anyone who appreciates a well-taken image.

5Play will warm up the autumn night on Oct. 20 with a show in the comfort of Joe’s Garage on Fifth Street in Courtenay. The evening will celebrate the release of their first CD, recorded ‘live’ at the Cumberland United Church last November. 5Play thrives on an eclectic repertoire. They deliver a mix of blues, ballads, contemporary folk, swing, old jazz standards and a liberal sprinkling of original tunes. With keyboards, guitars, mandolin, electric and standup bass and percussion, they share lead vocals and harmonies throughout their performances. All members of the band live in Courtenay and came together almost three years ago from entirely different musical and performing backgrounds. Their obvious camaraderie and love of the music they share comes through clearly in their performances. A few of 5Play’s performing highlights include a packed Valentine’s dance at d’Esterre

House in Comox, the Sierra Club’s Spring Fling, the food bank fundraiser at the Mex Pub and the honour of playing at the closing ceremony at the 2010 Seniors’ Games at the Florence Filberg Centre. They have played throughout the Comox Valley. Joe’s Garage is open for dinner, snacks and

Rugby not just any game – it’s a game for life Aimee Burley Special to the Record

People ask me a lot why I – a girl – play rugby. A game that appears to be so aggressive and brutal, a game for barbarians. That type of question is part of the reason that I love rugby – it allows people to re-think their assumptions about what it means to be a woman and to play rugby. It’s awesome watching the rookies join, totally unsure, asking themselves what they’re doing here. Not being able to run more than a lap or do push-ups. I watch them morph during the season and see that being strong and fit makes them more beautiful and that tackling other women into the ground on the weekends not only doesn’t compromise femininity, it increases self-confidence and assertiveness. There are not a lot of things in our society besides rugby that allows women to be truly physically aggressive, to use our bodies in the same unafraid, assertive way that men use theirs all the time. My question to you is: why not rugby? Rugby is one of the most skilled games out there. Not really that brutal or aggressive once you know the game. Someone once told me, “You can’t be champions with anything less than 30 players.” It sounds crazy but it’s true: more

than any other sport I’ve played, winning a rugby game requires the full dedication of everyone on the field, not just one or two stars. You have to trust and have confidence that your teammates will be there to support you. You have 15 players on the field, each with a different role but

I love going to ❝ training after a long day, putting everything behind me in the rucks, mauls and passes. I love the feeling when I can make that tackle, run faster, and push myself that little bit further.

❞

organizing together each for the same goals. Teamwork and coordination is everything! To me there is nothing like leaving your heart and soul on the field fighting a rival, then to be socializing and enjoying some food and drinks after with the very same people. This combination of trust and camaraderie is one reason I rely on, respect, and admire the women on my team as much as I do. Almost everyone I know who plays rugby counts the relationships they have made through the sport as one of the main reasons

they stay with it. I love going to training after a long day, putting everything behind me in the rucks, mauls and passes. I love the feeling when I can make that tackle, run faster, and push myself that little bit further. I love the smell of the pitch in the morning of a home game, feeling the combined nervousness and excitement in the preparation for going head-to-head with another team. I love the feeling you have in the last minutes of a game, when you rely on everything you have to pull through for just one more hard scrum, and you’re breathing really hard and you don’t know if you can last – and then one of you does something amazing. At that point there is no way you’d want to be anywhere else in the world. Ten years from now I may not be playing, but I know I will always be a part of my rugby club in some way. My teammates are like my family: we have made bonds that spread to other areas of our lives and know that these bonds will be strong for years to come. Rugby is not just any game, it’s a game for life! • • • The Comox Valley Kickers practise on Tuesday and Thursday nights 6:30 at the Fallen Alders field on Royston Road and encourage anyone interested in playing to come check it out.

The Wachiay Division of the First Nations Snowboard Team (FNST) is gearing up to hit the slopes of Mount Washington for a sixth year. The program selected aboriginal youth between the ages of nine and 19, with the opportunity to learn and develop their snowboarding skills. Coaching/instruction, equipment and Mount Washington lift passes are provided. “The recreation program is provided free to the selected FNST members,” says Kim Leming, Wachiay Division manager. “In exchange, aboriginal youth are expected to be in good standing in school and community, be drug and alcohol free, and be willing to commit to participate as a Wachiay FNST member for the season.” Past Wachiay FNST participants have come from the Comox Valley and Campbell River areas. Many volunteers have made it possible for the program to succeed the last five years, as well as the support of Mount Washington

Curling program teaches students

AERATING THE GREEN is part of the annual wind-up activities at the Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Lawn bowlers wrap Pat Cutt Special to the Record

Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club has completed another successful season. Membership numbers have grown and the new members have already demonstrated a fine and enthusiastic attitude toward the game and the club’s objectives. On Sept. 29, 17 members turned out to “put the green to bed,” which involves aerating, sanding and reseeding and a lot of shovel work, wheelbarrows, gathering benches, and folding away the awnings. Many hands make light work and that principle was well demonstrated. The awards dinner was very well attended and only three or four recipients were not present to receive the congratulations of the

other members. The success of the season was amply demonstrated as the Courtenay club executive captured the President’s Cup Zone trophy and Melie Ursulom and Henri Saucier brought home two (Ladies Singles and Novice Men’s) of the other five available so we have 50 per cent of the Zone trophies. Vern Greenhill also brought home a bronze medal from Provincial Men’s pairs. Final winners of the Friday Night Aggregate were Dean Penny 40 points, Peter Cartwright 32, Archie Harris 29, Bill Brazie 28 and Linda Meers 27. The club has a goal of fundraising to help with renovation and expansion of the clubhouse and the first big event on Sept. 10 raised triple what the orga-

nizers expected with some major assistance from members and the business community. A huge thank you to those generous folk and also to our Open tournament sponsors. On Sept. 23 a variety of newcomers to the Valley and some NIDES workers tried the game and we hope to see them back in the spring with friends. Farewell was offered to coach Mike MacDonell as he leaves to live in Abbotsford.

Rock Solid Productions Inc. has announced that Capital One Canada is continuing its title sponsorship of the Rocks & Rings program, and the program has also extended an agreement with the Canadian Curling Association, which expands its support as the official national sport partner of the program. The program, now entering its fourth year, has introduced curling to over 160,000 Canadian students to date, and continues to expand its reach. Organizers note it makes learning about curling easy by bringing customized equipment to the schools in day-long visits. Trained instructors deliver a highenergy, interactive and educational program focused on the basics of the sport. The Comox Valley is included in the Canadian communities that offers the program, according to Curl BC. “We have two major goals this year”, com-

mented Chad McMullan, president of Rock Solid Productions. “The first is to top the 100,000 students mark in a single school year for the first time, and the second is to have the program available in every province and territory.” The program will employ 40 instructors across Canada this season, creating jobs for youth and providing them with opportunities to develop leadership and coaching skills. Numerous provincial and regional curling bodies are also involved in making the program bigger and better in their respective regions. The program encourages local volunteer engagement, in helping take the next step of getting kids on to the ice. Teachers and parents are encouraged to visit www.rocksandrings.com to learn more and to register their schools to receive the program. – Curl BC

Adult Learning Centre Volunteer Tutors The Adult Learning Centre has been providing literacy supports to the Comox Valley since 1993. Volunteer tutors are required for our Adult Literacy program. Teaching background not required, and all tutors receive a 15 hour training and orientation to our program. Next training will commence in October or November, 2011.

Contact: Gabriel @ 250-338-9906 E-mail Gabriel@cvalc.ca Community Justice Centre Society Anti-Hate Play - Interview transcriber As part of a project to produce a play to educate about racism, homophobia and hate activity, the CJC is conducting a series of in-depth interviews with High School students and recent grads about their experiences with bullying, taunting, and harassment on the basis of gender, race, religions, sexual orientation, and the other grounds forming a basis of discrimination. This project requires skilled individuals who can transcribe audio interviews for use by the playwright in developing the play. Skills needed are: typing up taped interviews, reviewing transcript for accuracy, reasonably quick typing speed (60 WPM), close attention to editing and checking against the audio file for accuracy, production of clean final versions. It would be helpful if there was quick turnaround from delivery of the audio file to return of the final transcript. The interviews will be in September - October, 2011 and we will need the transcripts back soon. The script for the play needs to be completed for rehearsals in Jan - Feb for performances in March/Apr/May. This position can set it’s own hours and work from home or in our offices. Be at the heart of an exciting and creative bridging of the arts and anti-racism/anti-homophobia work in the Comox Valley and Vancouver Island/Sunshine Coast.

Resolution Conference Facilitator The restorative justice programme for the Comox Valley is looking for additional facilitators to run resolution conferences involving complainants and respondents involved in disputes (RCMP referrals of criminal matters, school referrals of school based issues, neighbour disputes, DFO/ICBC/Conservation matters, and non-profit organization concerns). If you are a trained mediator (Justice Institute of BC certified or equivalent/similar) we will provide the training to transition to our community-based restorative justice processes. Facilitators are called to run a conference when they are available. Conferences usually begin at 4 PM, Monday to Friday. This is a highly valued volunteer opportunity that provides an opportunity to make a real difference in the community.

Big Bang the start

A GARRY OAK tree overlooks farmland in the Comox Valley. PHOTO BY BILL JORGENSON

Garry oaks in spotlight The public is invited for an informative multi-media presentation that looks at the history and present status of Garry oak trees and their ecosystems in the Comox Valley. The presentation, which will include the rare Point Holmes sand dune ecosystem, begins in the Stan Hagen Theatre at North Island College this Friday at 7 p.m. The gnarly, but majestic, Garry oak tree was at the heart of controversy over a recent, but now abandoned, proposal to build a new school on land beside Vanier Secondary School. The Comox Valley was once home to large expanses of Garry oak woodlands, which occur in Canada only in southwestern B.C. On Vancouver Island, the Garry oak is at the northern extent of its range in the Comox Valley, and often appears in unusual associations with other species. Historically, Garry oak ecosystems played an important role in the lives and culture of First Nations people. Today, only five per cent of the original Garry oak habitat in British Columbia remains, much of it having been

cleared for agriculture, and for residential and industrial development. The Comox Valley Conservation Strategy Community Partnership and the Comox Valley Naturalist Society are co-sponsoring the presentation in an effort to promote greater study and protection of the remaining Garry oak trees, woodlands and associated ecosystems to ensure that their values are not lost forever. Garry oak ecosystems are home to a rich assemblage of plant and animal species, some found nowhere else in the world. The Garry oak celebration will include speakers such as Garry oak expert Dr. Kathy Dunster, a Denman Island resident and biologist; Holly Clermont of the Garry Oak Ecosystem Recovery Team; Kerry Dawson and Jack Minard of the CVCS; and Dr. Loys Maignon (RPBio), vicepresident of the CVNS and chair of the Canadian Advisory Committee on Water Quality Sampling Methods. The speakers will talk briefly about why Garry oak ecosystems are important and will examine current and

potential strategies to increase their protection locally. In addition, a short video by Kerry Dawson entitled Sensitive Natural Areas of Point Holmes will be premiered and a slideshow featuring beautiful images taken by talented local photographers will also be shown, followed by a question and answer session with the speakers. For gardeners and landowners, information on expanding Garry Oak habitat on your property will be available and copies of The Garry Oak Gardener’s Handbook will be sold. Interested gardeners may also sign up for a Garry oak gardener’s workshop to be offered in the spring. — Comox Valley Conservation Strategy Community Partnership

Comox United Church and the Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship will jointly present the film Journey of the Universe this Friday. The film uses scientific insights to tell a 14-billion-year story from the Big Bang, through the evolution of life from single cells into mammals, and on to the development of human consciousness. Brian Swimme, an evolutionary philosopher, and Mary Tucker, an ecologist and faculty member of Yale Divinity School, have created a beautiful and inspiring film that tells a scientific creation story. The film ends with a question: Now that humans are conscious and aware of their effect on the Earth’s environment, what will be our response? The film will be shown at 7 p.m. at Comox United Church at 250 Beach Ave. Admission is by donation. There will be a short discussion of issues raised by the film. — Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Mid Island Gifts marking decade

TERRI PERRIN will display her knowledge of the Chinese art of feng shui at two public appearances this month.

Feng shui researched Terri Perrin of the Fine Art of Intention Feng Shui is in the final weeks of an intense 16-week feng shui mentorship program with one of North America’s mostrespected experts. She is excited to share what she has learned at two events in the Comox Valley. Perrin, a professional feng shui consultant and author, invites Comox Valley residents to learn more by visiting the Fine Art of Intention Feng Shui booth at the HomeBased Business Association’s Small Business Expo this Friday at the Florence Filberg Centre in Courtenay from 1 to 8 p.m. Admission is free, with a donation to the food bank. Perrin will also be at the Spirit Fair at the K’ómoks Band Hall on Oct. 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission costs $5. At 11:45 a.m. on Oct. 16, Perrin will also give a 15-minute Introduction to Feng Shui talk at the Spirit Fair. Other than admission to the fair, there is no extra cost to attend this session. Perrin was one of only seven feng shui consultants in the world invited to participate in David Daniel Kennedy’s fall 2011 mentorship program. Kennedy, the author of Feng Shui for Dummies and several other best-selling books, lives in Berkeley, Calif., used Internet-based communications systems to connect with mentorees and provided weekly group classes, one-on-one mentoring, and case study analysis of client’s homes. “I am grateful that several area residents permitted me to use their home consultations as part of the case study program,”

explains Perrin. “The case studies were the best part of the mentorship and they contributed significantly to my education, resulting in a complete reorganization of my home and business consultation process. To be able to benefit from this advanced training … from the comfort of my home in the Comox Valley … was amazing!” To learn more about feng shui and how you can create a home (or work) environment that helps you improve health, wealth, relationships and more, be sure to visit the Fine Art of Intention Feng Shui booth at the Small Business Expo or the Spirit Fair. For more information, check the Events page at www.FAOIFengShui.com or call 250-218-4952. Perrin, of Comox, began studying feng shui in 2006. She received her Feng Shui Practitioner certificate from Mount Royal University in Calgary in 2008. She launched

Fine Art of Intention Feng Shui after moving to Vancouver Island in 2009. Dedicated to continual learning, Perrin became a student and disciple of the late His Holiness Professor Lin Yun, founder of the Black Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui School and has also received advanced training from several of North America’s most-respected feng shui masters. In the past three years, Perrin has delivered interactive and inspiring workshops, and performed consultations across Vancouver Island. Perrin released her first feng shui book — The Complete Guide to Feng Shui Crystals in January 2011. Her efforts to promote her business earned her the Comox Valley Home-Based Business Association’s 2010 New Business of the Year Award and 2011 Business of the Year Award. — Fine Art of Intention Feng Shui

Mid Island Gifts is celebrating a successful 10 years at the Comox Valley Airport. “For the last decade, Mid Island Gifts has provided our passengers with unique giftware that is locally produced,” said YQQ CEO Shirley de Silva. “This one-of-a-kind shop has contributed greatly to our passenger experience and has been a generous supporter of artists in our community.” Owner Diane Weir has always been interested in the local arts and crafts scene, and when the opportunity presented itself at YQQ, the business was a natural fit for her. “I’ve had the privilege to work with more than 200 Vancouver Island artists and producers, many of whom have become friends over the years,” said Weir. “Our biggest challenge has always been to find more room for the new work artists bring to us.” Mid Island Gifts started out as a kiosk at YQQ with limited stock and then expanded to its current location, when the new terminal building was constructed in 2004. “Our original funding came from Community Futures, a group that had the patience and the resources to help me develop a vision and a business plan,” explained Weir. “Community Futures made it possible for us to get started in the old terminal until we could prove that a market existed for local or handmade products.” Now Mid Island

Gifts is firmly established at YQQ and has built a loyal following of customers. “Moving into the new terminal was a period of huge growth for us,” said Weir. “As more flights and destinations were added at YQQ, I had to rely more and more on my dedicated staff. I owe much of my success to these wonderful people; I simply couldn’t have managed without them! “Being part of YQQ has always been interesting,” concluded Weir. “On a daily basis, we meet people from all walks of life, heading out in dozens of different directions, for holidays or business. We also have many regular customers, who just come to the Comox Valley Airport to shop for special occasion gifts.” To thank the community for its tremendous support throughout the last 10 years, Mid Island Gifts will host a sale until Oct. 16. Mid Island Gifts also invites all the passengers and its valued customers to enter their name for a free chance to win 10 gift certificates valued up to $100 to be drawn Oct. 17. — Comox Valley Airport
