QUENEESH LEGACY
Long ago, rain fell from the sky and filled what is now called the Comox Valley. An old man had warned people living in the longhouses rimming the bay to prepare canoes and lengths of cedar rope. When the village was swept away in the flood, some people tied their canoes to a white whale, Queneesh. The white whale came to rest high on a mountain. Today, most people refer to Queneesh as the Comox Glacier. ... Complete story on ■ B1

Ferry floating at Fanny Bay Renée Andor Record Staff
Fanny Bay has a rather large visitor sitting in its waters these days. That visitor is the Queen of Vancouver, which served on the BC Ferries route between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen for about 45 years until it was retired and sold a few years ago. Now, it’s being fixed up in Fanny Bay before being towed to a graving dock in Ensenada, Mexico, where it will be cut up for scrap metal, according to Doug Lotoski, who is overseeing the upgrades. “We’re just finishing up the

car deck,” said Lotoski, adding the work will ensure the vessel can make it through rough seas if need be. “It’ll hold anything in a hurricane.” Although he noted an aggravation in the work when the ferry was broken into by vandals shortly after it arrived late last week, he said the upgrades are going well. “Two weeks, it should be out of here, but in the meantime, I’ve got a lot of employees here that are working on it and making good money.” Lotoski noted his client Roberto Curiel, who owns the graving dock in Ensenada, bought the vessel after it was repossessed from the person
who originally bought it from BC Ferries. “The ferry originally was sold to a person over in Vancouver for an undisclosed amount of money,” said Lotoski, adding the person had borrowed the money to buy the boat and then it sat in Howe Sound for about three years. “He had these grandeur plans to do something with it and sell it, but like a lot of things this big, people have great plans but when it comes down to actually doing it, it’s a lot of work and it’s a big expense. “And then the person that actually put up the money to buy it demanded his payment ... see FANNY BAY ■ A2
The Comox Valley is an important riding to the BC NDP, and leader Adrian Dix and fellow MLAs were busy hearing what’s important to the community this week. “This is obviously a key area, a key constituency in any election campaign,” Dix told media Thursday morning. “I think it’s almost always, maybe always in recent years, on the winning side, whether that winning side is NDP or Liberal as it has been, and so it’s an important race for us because we’ve got an outstanding candidate (Kassandra Dycke), but it’s also a community that I think is fairly active on democracy, on democratic issues.” Dix and NDP MLAs from around the province were here Wednesday and Thursday for a caucus meeting and community outreach. MLAs spent Wednesday afternoon meeting with various businesses, community groups, organizations and other agencies. An outside fundraising dinner, including a speech by Dix, followed at the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park that evening. Then, Thursday morning the group held its caucus meeting before heading out to do more community outreach in the afternoon. “We’re having our caucus meeting here this morning dealing with some of the issues facing the entire province, but also focusing in on issues facing Vancouver Island,” said Dix. Then, “again meeting with community groups, with Lana Popham meeting with farmers and visiting farms, to Mike Farnworth dealing with people in health care, and on and on it goes, to Spencer Chandra Herbert meeting with people in the tourism industry. “It’s a really positive oppor... see VISITING ■ A3

because it was due, you know, a long time ago and well the guy didn’t have any money, so then he seized it legally through the courts and then had a sale.” Lotoski considered doing the work on the boat in Howe Sound but decided it was too far away and remote. Also, he lives in this area of the Island and wanted to be able to use local staff and keep a close eye on the work. And work for local people has increased since the improve-
ments to the wharf were completed late last year, according to Maureen Nordstrom of the Fanny Bay Harbour Authority. “It’s a really busy little place now that we’ve done the expansion of the harbour. The economic activity there is just incredible,” said Nordstrom. “The harbour had a big, almost $2-million expansion and what we did was put in a drive-on ramp and so what happens is you can get access to load and unload, you can drive a semi-truck
trailer down there. “I mean we were the little harbour that had nothing; it’s been some of the best money spent.” As for the Queen of Vancouver, Lotoski said his tugboat should head up from San Diego soon, and then possibly even before the two weeks is up, the old ferry will leave the little bay. Lotoski noted he was called to do the same job in the same situation about a year ago on the Queen of Esquimalt. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

BC NDP LEADER Adrian Dix and other NDP MLAs enjoyed Wednesday evening at Filberg Park in Comox.
Dix’s take on pipeline, economy, ferries, education Renée Andor Record Staff
During the two-day NDP caucus gathering in the Comox Valley BC NDP leader Adrian Dix shared his views on a variety of provincial issues important to the Valley. After Premier Christy Clark announced the five requirements for the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline project on Monday — which includes receiving a “fair share” of the economic benefits — Dix said his stance on the matter has not changed. “We think that the Northern Gateway Pipeline isn’t in our economic or environmental interest and so we’re opposed to the project,” said Dix, adding he doesn’t consider the Liberal position on the issue to be a serious position. “Even though they concluded in their report that it wasn’t in our environmental or economic interest to let the pipeline proceed, that ‘We’ll let it proceed if we get a fistful of dollars,’ well I don’t think that’s a very serious position.” When pressed about the
possible financial gains of the proposed project — especially in light of the recently announced $1.84 billion deficit for 2011/2012 — Dix said the money isn’t guaranteed and having one fiscal year’s deficit impact his stance would be shortsighted. “The pipeline’s economic and environmental impact to B.C. would take place over decades, so I don’t think that it’s correct to make that decision based on one fiscal year,” he said. “Putting our economy and our environment up for short-term auction — I don’t think that will in fact be sustaining. “For example, the coastal First Nations want economic development on their part of the coast and what they’re saying is that the Enbridge pipeline will hurt that economic development. They have interests in fisheries, in forestry and tourism and so on.” Earlier this week, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon noted the $1.6-billion HST repayment was partly to blame for the deficit, and Dix had campaigned to get rid of the HST.
But, Dix said the increase in contractual obligations by the Province this year are more worrying than the deficit itself. “Essentially, it (contractual obligations) increased by $16 billion this year. That means all of the P3 (public/private partnership) proposals and mostly the energy contracts that the government signed, many of which are uneconomic, are coming home to roost for the government, so absolutely that’s disconcerting,” he said. Further, he’s very critical of the P3 model planned for the new Comox Valley hospital. “One of the problems in signing decades-long agreements in health care is that health care’s going to change over the next few decades,” he said. “Having P3 contracts that give you very little flexibility, management flexibility, is a real problem.” However, he noted even if elected, once a contract is signed it must be respected. When asked if he would consider moving BC Ferries fully back under govern-
ment control, he responded that there needs to be “better accountability.” “Clearly there’s a problem, there’s a business problem when fewer and fewer people are able to take the ferries, that’s hurting revenue on the one hand and indicating a reduction of service on the one hand, and on the other hand, senior officials still getting bonuses — there’s a disconnect there that we’ll have to address,” he said. When pressed about if he thinks the service should come fully back under government control, he said:
“Yes, I think we have to, we have to look at ways to increase accountability absolutely.” Dix also said education will be a central feature of the NDP’s platform, not just a social issue, but an economic issue as well. He said post-secondary education is a priority, and investing in advanced education is a way to deal with a skills shortage in the province. Class size and composition for kindergarten to Grade 12 classes is also a priority of the NDP’s, as well as strengthening relations between government
and school system employees. “I think also what we need to do, and we need to try and do, is reduce the level of confrontation both between the government and teachers, and the government and school boards, and work together better,” Dix said when asked his thoughts on the firing of the Cowichan Valley School trustees. “It doesn’t make the problems easier, but we’ve got to find ways to work together better in the interests of the education system.” writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Visiting MLAs listen to people Continued from A1
tunity for us to hear from the people of this region of B.C., to hear what they’re saying, listen to what they’re saying, have that inform the issues that we’re raising, the change we want to bring.” Meeting with small businesses was something in the forefront of Dix’s mind
as he noted the BC NDP is trying to strengthen the relationship between small business and government. “I think we’re building support in the small business community,” said Dix. “That’s always been a problem over time, which was government seen as regulator and as policing small business … and the small
business not having a positive relationship. “We’re trying to change that relationship by focusing on government’s purchasing power supporting small businesses in communities and building new economic alliances that strengthen communities and create jobs.” writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Renée Andor Record Staff
The Denman Island community has come together to fix its 100-year-old community hall — and work has been buzzing along since earlier this month. Margie Gang, president of the Denman Island Recreation Commission Society, said the main work to repair the foundation of the Denman Island Community Hall should be complete by the end of September. Although she said the company hired to do the work, C&W Campbell Construction, has been excellent, she also noted a large contingent of community volunteers has joined in on the job. “Volunteers, I figured there’s probably, altogether in out of the community, 80 people that have committed volunteer time and energy towards this project,” said Gang. “And especially the people on our board, have probably committed, you know, the core sort of four or five people, have probably committed well over 100 hours each.” According to Gang, the foundation under the original structure — which was built in 1912 — is a weak point in the building. “The original foundation was large cedar posts buried in the ground. Those foundations were replaced with concrete footings and cedar posts in the 1950s. The new footings weren’t built on firm bearing, and have shifted and settled over time,” said Gang. “Perimeter drainage channels were dug around the north side of the building to reduce moisture under the hall that had been a problem since 1912. Although it’s much drier now, the moisture created rot in the posts, beams and joists.” So, the floor was ripped up, and the joists and beams were removed. A skim coat of concrete and replacement of the foundation walls and piers with ones consistent with current building standards are also part of the upgrades. After the project is complete, DIRCS will host a 100-year birthday celebration in the hall, which has been a central hub of the community for its entire life. “We do want to get in

So far, Gang noted about $200,000 has been contributed to the project, which she expects will cost about $270,000. Gang noted work to obtain funding began in November 2010 when the DIRCS board of directors applied to
the Canadian Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage capital fund. Funding also came from the Coast Sustainability Trust, the B.C. Heritage Legacy Fund, the Comox Valley Regional District, Tourism Vancouver, the Comox Valley Foundation. Recently, $5,165 was raised through the Denman Island Volunteer Fire Department’s annual Community Pancake Breakfast, including $1,000 from Denman Island General Store. Gang noted she is
waiting to hear back on a couple more applications for funding. Concerts Denman, which uses the hall, will donate some of its proceeds towards the project. The community hall was the first building on Denman Island to be officially recognized by the Islands Trust
Council in its new heritage register. However, the Denman Island Old School Centre has also been recognized, and Gang expects other buildings to follow. For more information on the Denman Island Community Hall project, visit http://denmanhall.wordpress.com.

The four MacKinnon brothers returned triumphantly last week to the Comox Valley after a cross-country cycle to raise funds and awareness for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Exactly two months to the day after they left May 19, they returned to Vancouver Island for the stretch drive back to Comox alongside their family, friends and community. Although they haven’t announced an exact total, they say they met their goal of raising a cumulative total of $40,075. Their trek included surviving 60 days on the road with no support van, but they kept going, buoyed by the memory of their grandfather known as Baha, the inspiration for their campaign. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1967 at the age of 60, he was an Olympian,
accomplished lawyer and financial adviser, published author on Parkinson’s disease, distinguished board member and UBC Hall of Famer.

ACTIVITY ASSISTANTS IN DEMAND Study part time and learn to improve seniors’ quality of life in just four months
To Deb Provencher, the need to stay active and engaged doesn’t end at 75. It just gets more important to a growing number of seniors every year. The instructor of NIC’s Activity Assistant program brings her passion for senior care to the Comox Valley this fall.
PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT they’re going to demand something more than sitting around watching TV,” Provencher said. “We need to find ways to provide meaning in the lives of individuals in care. It’s such important work; it can’t be minimized.” In 2011, VIHA predicted the number of seniors 75 plus in the Courtenay and Campbell River Local Health Areas would rise 99 to 135 per cent in the next 18 years. By 2030, an estimated 17,100 people may need some help maintaining current levels of physical and intellectual activity. That’s not news to Liz Friis, who oversees activities for 101 residents and 50 adult day clients per week at Glacier View Lodge in Courtenay. Activity assistant training allows her staff to enhance their skills and focus on creativity when working with seniors with complex health issues or memory challenges.

Snow begone – bike park fans are ready to roll The final remnants of the winter white stuff were shovelled out of the way last week by Mount Washington’s trail crew and the snow is now gone. Dirt has reclaimed the mountain and as
a result, the Bike Park opens this Saturday. “Due to the deep snow last winter we waited a bit longer to open our park and we’re proud to be opening it in amazing shape,” explains bike
park manager Mike Manara. “It was well worth the wait.” Mount Washington’s Bike Park is open seven days a week starting this Saturday. The Hawk Chair operates daily from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and offers access to nine trails and over 14 kms of mountain biking bliss. “Our park offers a little bit of everything. We have steep and technical single track for old schoolers, freeride trails with wooden stunts and jumps for the rippers and wide and flowy easy trails for beginners,” says Manara. The park will have the following trails ready to ride on opening day: Green Line,
Magical Mystery Tour, Hustler, Big Brother, Wizard, 4 Cross and Quickn’Dirty. Mount Washington is cranking out bike park events right out of the start gate with Rocky Learn to Ride Week from July 30 to Aug. 3. “In addition to our Learn to Ride Week, we will be offering daily deals on programs every week this summer,” explains Manara. “This includes Mtn GRRLS every Friday and kids programs every weekend.” If spectacles are your thing and you want to witness the world’s best freeride mountain bikers doing what they do best, then you have to join the hyped-up
crowd at the Bearclaw Invitational Slopestyle event on Aug. 3 and 4. “This year’s course will be very similar to last season’s with a few tweaks included to spice things up,” explains rider/organizer Darren Berrecloth. “We have the big line setup for the boys to throw down for a $30,000 prize purse plus we have a new amateur comp to entice some locals to step up on the world stage.” The Bearclaw Invitational is one of the stops on the Freeride
Mountain Bike World Tour and regularly draws thousands of spectators to watch riders boost massive airs
and tricks down one of the most innovative slopestyle courses in the world. mountwashington.ca.

Trash to treasure It’s time to breathe new life into something old and worn out. The Comox Strathcona waste management service hopes to inspire residents to turn trash into treasure. CSWM will have Gayle Bates, waste reduction educator, on-site at the compost education centre at 10 a.m. Saturday. Bates will explore ways to reuse, recycle and remake broken furniture, accessories and toys, and turn them into something new and unique. She encourages people to use their imaginations rather than simply tossing things out and filling up valuable landfill space. “Families can be motivated to look around the house for stuff that is shoved into a corner and to find practical and unique ways to repurpose it,” Bates said. “We are all looking for ways to save money and to get the most out of what we already have, so let others be inspired by sharing your ideas.” Bates has worked to repurpose old furniture into plant stands, dishes into garden ornaments, and bicycle bars into bookends.

RCMP find wanted man with salmon A man who said he was fighting with a 38-pound salmon this week soon had a confrontation with the Comox Valley RCMP. The RCMP and the Canadian Coast Guard responded Monday to a complaint of a boat running onto the reef in Kye Bay. Police located the boater
walking on the beach carrying a salmon. The man was found to have three warrants for his arrest. The man explained that he was fighting the fish when he had a problem with his fishing reel and, while dealing with that, he noted he was in shallow
water. Not wanting to lose his fish, he elected to bring the fish in and not turn the boat out to deeper water. The fish was subsequently dropped off at his father’s freezer. He was taken to the police station and lodged in cells. — Comox Valley RCMP

DOING IT
FOR THE KIDS

S
heldon Crawford is accustomed to challenging himself. As a military police officer at CFB Esquimalt and with a 2008 tour of Afghanistan under his belt, the 25-year-old corporal understands the mental and physical strength required to get the job done. But when he trades in his uniform for cycling shorts this fall to conquer the 1,000-kilometre Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, Crawford will be thinking of the hundreds of B.C. children diagnosed with cancer who struggle with much greater challenges every day. “I remember "I remember seeing the Tour de Rock, it was seeing the Tour de a big thing growing up on the Island," Crawford Rock. It was a big said. "It's an amazing cause, and cancer is that someone so young shouldn't have thing growing up on something to go through." the Island.” Crawford is one of two military police officers participating in this year's tour – the other is – Cpl. Sheldon Cpl. David Thompson, who works out of CFB Crawford Comox. The roster includes 14 police officers, two members of the media and two special guests. Since its inception in 1998, Tour de Rock has raised more than $16.6 million for the Canadian Cancer Society. The money is earmarked for pediatric cancer research and also helps fund Camp Goodtimes, a medically supervised summer retreat for kids dealing with cancer. "It gives the kids and their families the opportunity to have fun and not worry about chemotherapy and all their medical appointments," Crawford said after he visited the Maple Ridge camp last week. Crawford's personal fundraising goal is $12,000, although he hopes to raise more He's already managed to collect $7,000, including $4,000 from a concert at the Pacific Fleet Club in Victoria. "It's an excellent opportunity to give back and see some of the Island," he said.

How old is your ball cap? LONGTIME ST. JOHN Ambulance volunteer Don Jellie of the Comox Valley is invested into the Order of St. John by Lieut.-Gov. Steven Point (right). Also present is Graig Wilson, chair of the St. John provincial council.
St. John helping others More than 2,000 St. John Ambulance volunteers offer their time and skills throughout B.C. They assist at community events, provide patient care and emergency response, teach first aid, run youth programs, visit the elderly and shut-ins, and provide professional advice and guidance. From first aid providers to those who take their dogs to visit the elderly, to youth program leaders, volunteers are the lifeblood of St. John. They offer more than 100,000 hours per year of their time to help others. In 2011, B.C. and Yukon St. John Ambulance medical firstresponders were on duty at 1,556 public events. From large airshows and hockey games to small community celebrations for a few hours to events lasting a few days, there are more than 42 events per week all year long in B.C. and the Yukon. It is am powerful example of St. John’s community services in action. In 2011, 458 therapy dog handlers and their dogs took part in the therapy dog program. Together, they provided more than 25,000 hours of volunteer service to 233 facilities. The youth who belong to the St. John youth program are busy training in first aid competitions, providing community service by going on first aid duties and learning new skills. In 2001, more than 547 youths took part in the youth program. The St. John Ambulance branch executive committee is the advi-
sory body to the branch. Committee members give their time to support the interests and participation of the volunteers and their respective activities, fundraising for mutually agreed-upon initiatives and other matters that support the branch in the community. If you or your child is interested in volun-
teering for the branch executive or the youth committee or your dog in the therapy dog program, call 250-8971098, e-mail cvalley@ bc.sja.ca or write to St. John Ambulance, Comox Valley branch, 107-1742 Cliffe Ave., Courtenay, B.C. V9N 2K8. — St. John Ambulance, Comox Valley branch

Day of the Estuary Saturday Art auction, book readings, canoe flotilla among many attractions The Day of the Estuary has arrived — the finale of the 2012 Keeping it Living campaign this Saturday, for all ages to participate and support the Courtenay River (K’ómoks) Estuary. The campaign to raise awareness for the protection and restoration of the estuary is co-ordinated by Project Watershed Society and the Estuary Working Group. Over 30 talented artists have created more than 50 Art for the Estuary submissions, from painting to photography to glass and metal art, being displayed in the K’ómoks Band Hall on Saturday from 1 p.m. The silent auction bidding will end at 6 p.m. sharp. One of the auction items is an original signed paddle used by the Canadian voyageur canoe team during the Diamond Jubilee Flotilla in London. The community can also
support the ongoing Keeping it Living campaign by purchasing limited edition art prints and posters. Visitors to the Hall can bid on the original artworks, vote for People’s Choice, and have a chance to win several door prizes including a one-hour scenic flight from the Courtenay Airpark. Families will enjoy book readings by Marlet Ashley and Kate Brown, reading from their children’s series Revelry on the Estuary. Two walks to the Dyke Slough and Hollyhock Flats will appeal to naturalists. Boaters will appreciate the displays by the CV Paddlers Club and Marine Search and Rescue. Project Watershed will have a preliminary display of their new Walking the Watersheds of the Comox Valley maps. Scheduled to be completed this fall, the GPS accurate maps show features such as wheelchair accessibility and public washrooms. These printable maps will be available free on-line. Two examples will be on display, a walking map of the town of Comox through the
Brooklyn Creek watershed, and a walk along the Royston Waterfront in the Roy Creek watershed. The Experience the Estuary Flotilla will depart from the Courtenay Marina at 3 p.m. and from the Comox Marina at 3:30. The flotilla of human-powered boats will parade to the K’omoks Band shores to be greeted by the IHOS dugout canoe about 4 p.m. at the Band shores. All will be welcomed ashore to enjoy the activities at the Band Hall. The flotilla can
be viewed at either marina, or at the Band shores on the Dyke Road. The Laurie Tinkler Dancers will perform outside the Band Hall after the arrival of the Flotilla. From 4 to 6 p.m, salmon, chowder, bannock and salad catered by Cory Frank will be available for $12. To close the day, the Kumugwe Dancers will perform in the K’ómoks Big House.

Compost tips shared Tuesday evening’s workshop at the Lake Trail Community Garden will give home gardeners a few tips on how to make better compost. Peggy Carswell from Fertile Ground, a local non-profit organization, will host a free hands-on session at the school garden beginning at 6 p.m. She’ll explain which
materials make ideal compost, and demonstrate techniques that will help keep backyard composters and compost piles free of odors and pests. There’s no charge for Lake Trail events, but if you’re planning to attend, contact Catherine Turner at laketrailgarden@gmail.com. — Lake Trail Community Garden

Each year a deserving graduating high school student receives a $1,000 bursary to further his/her education. Members of the Pigdusters hockey team donate $1,500 to the CVMHA in memory of their friend and teammate Derek (Harry) Wright. — Derek Wright Memorial Trust Fund
Comox Valley Nature (Comox Valley Naturalists Society) and the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy (CVCS) are collaborating this Saturday to offer a public nature walk along the Trent River. The public is invited to join biologists Loys Maingon, president of Comox Valley Nature, and Kerry Dawson, education and outreach co-ordinator of the CV Conservation Strategy. They’re offering an opportunity to explore the importance of one of our local watersheds and the effects our growing urban environment is having on it. Aside from its wellknown paleontological interest, the Trent River is of enormous ecological value both for its biodiversity and the economic and eco-
logical services it provides. The river was identified by the Western Canada Wilderness Committee in 1990 as a critical watershed on Vancouver Island, for the role it plays in providing an east-west biodiversity corridor, allowing for the passage of species from coast to coast. To avoid problems with limited parking at the Trent River site, participants are asked to meet in the Zellers’ parking lot at 8:45 a.m. to organize a carpool. Although the walk is not difficult or strenuous, the trail does have some inclines and participants will be required to scramble over some rocks and walk on a wet, but flat and firm, river terrace. Only the sure-footed with appropriate footwear should attend. Wading shoes are advised. The walk is
not recommended for children younger than seven. For more information, contact Loys
Maingon at 250-3310143 or Kerry Dawson at 250-339-1029. — Comox Valley Nature

nicknamed Sunrise in tribute to the work done by Sunrise Vet. At first, she could not walk without the help of a sling to support her rear end, but a few days later she was walking with a limp, and was moved outside.
Her recovery was fast and almost without any hitches. A couple weeks into her recovery, the wound site became infected; but thanks to the diligent work of MARS interns and some antibiotics, the infection quickly cleared up. One month after her mishap with the mower, the bone was pronounced healed and the pins removed. A couple days later, she was introduced to the other orphaned fawns. At first Sunrise was shy of the other fawns; she had had little contact with other fawns during her recovery, and did not know how to act with them. Fortunately, a few days was all it took for her to integrate herself with them. When asked how Sunrise was currently doing, Marielle replied, “She is running around, she bucks, she goes ‘woo-hoo,’ and she eats like crazy.” All good things for a developing fawn to be doing. Soon she will be transferred to a another larger facility, where she will continue to grow into an adult, then be released with the other deer into the surrounding area. This may be the last year MARS will be able to transfer their deer to this larger facility, so in order
to accommodate larger and more numerous fawns, a Bambi Bungalow was built. So far it consists of a large circular pen that older fawns have enough room to run around, hide and forage in. However, the work on the bungalow is not finished, still requiring an enclosure for shelter and planting of browse plants; MARS staff are waiting for the fawns to be old enough to transfer before finishing it, as they do not want to stress the deer, or get them used to human sounds. Sunrise and the other deer are given browse collected daily by interns, willow being one of their favourites. The fawns would weaned by their mother when they are about 16 weeks and so are also fed special black-tail deer milk formula imported from the U.S. until they are old enough to be weaned. As it is imported, and a specialized formula it is very expensive to feed our fawns. If you wish to donate to MARS’s Fawn Fund to support the raising of the orphaned deer, or find injured or orphaned wildlife, you can phone MARS at 250-337-2021, or call in at 6817 Headquarters in Merville.

mercial or industrial developments in excess of 470 square metres would require services from a licensed landscape architect to plan and design, oversee construction and monitor post-construction. “The primary reason for this is so the landscape fabric of our community, the urban fabric, is dealt with in a positive manner,” he said, adding most of the landscaping done in new developments in the city is at a high level, but this new requirement would ensure it is. Pre-application meetings would also be encouraged for all applications, rather than just for larger projects, and they would be more formal, allowing of a better understanding between City staff and the developer about what the project is and what is required for

Courtenay council unanimously passed the first three readings of a new and improved development application procedures bylaw this week. The new bylaw is intended to streamline and clarify processes around all applications to amend a plan or bylaw or for the issuance of a permit, according to a report from Courtenay director of development services Peter Crawford and director of operational services Kevin Lagan. City CAO Sandy Gray noted the report was compiled after developers voiced concerns regarding the process and delays. Jay Oddleifson was hired as a consultant for the City late last year, and he spoke to numerous local developers, as well as city staff from Nanaimo, Langford and Sidney to gather information. According to Gray, many of the procedures are based on other cities’ practices. Crawford pointed out a notable change is the requirement for the developer to meet with the public before the matter comes to council — rather than after. “The public are asking for more input, asking for more consultation,” Crawford told council, adding public input would be increased from the new requirement. “Getting public input early is critical.”
each application. The internal referrals process would have agreed on response times and would be tracked in order to speed up the process. Other internal changes to streamline the process are included in the bylaw — such as giving the director of legislative services more power to approve minor amendments to an application. Council spoke positively about the work City staff put into the new bylaw and accompanying report, with Mayor Larry Jangula noting the changes look positive for everyone. “If things are going smoothly for them (developers) it means employment for people, it means cash flow is coming into the City, it means things are happening,” said Jangula. “It’s a positive thing for both sides, and we need to address both sides of the issue, and I think that’s what we’re trying to do.” The final reading is expected to come back before council on Aug. 7.

Pipeline an election issue? Few issues (abortion?) divide politicians and potential voters like one that pits jobs/economy versus environment. Less than a year before a B.C. election, the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal is forcing political leaders to take a definitive stand on a controversial issue. Concerned about an ecological catastrophe, especially a spill from a tanker into pristine West Coast waters, the Greens and the NDP oppose the project. If elected premier in May, however, NDP leader Adrian Dix might hear the siren call of big oil money, particularly after the revelation Wednesday that B.C. posted a $1.8-billion deficit for the 2011/12 fiscal year. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins issued three conditions this week that his party has for the pipeline. The main one, a demand that B.C. be adequately compensated for risks to its environment, echoed one of five points outlined in a statement by Premier Christy Clark. That demand, and her threat to block the $5.5-billion project if B.C. is not properly compensated, has pitted her against Premier Alison Redford of Alberta. Redford rejects any suggestion that the provinces share revenue, stridently claiming that Clark is trying to undermine Confederation. Clark battling oil-rich, cow-punching Alberta rednecks for B.C.’s benefit? Redford rebuffing cannabis-puffing, left-leaning B.C. hippies? Politically, it’s gold for both premiers. Clark is walking a fine line. With the Liberals still suffering from Gordon Campbell’s HST debacle, she’s caught between the lurking NDP and the potentially relevant Conservatives eager to steal right-of-centre votes. She can’t afford to lose the votes of people legitimately concerned about ecological Armageddon or a business community that comprises much of her party’s support. Like any debt-saddled B.C. premier these days, she also can’t entirely ignore the siren call of big oil money. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Tha Thanks in part to former Comox Valley golfer Kevin Maxwell, there was some record-setting drama in the PGA of BC Championship at Crown Isle.
The B.C. government posted a $1.8-billion deficit for the 2011/12 fiscal year, in part because of a $1.6-billion repayment for axing the HST.
Looking at demographic facts Dear editor, There have been several letters recently with respect to the cost-effectiveness and need of changing our transportation infrastructure from being carcentric to being people-centric. Unfortunately, most have been based on opinion and hyperbolic statements. Instead of conjecture and opinion, let’s deal with some facts related to our Valley, our workforce, and the demographics people who contribute to our economy — i.e. people who work. Let’s look at who actually makes up the population of the Comox Valley. Per the 2011 census, the total population of the Courtenay agglomeration was 55,213. The Courtenay Agglomeration consists of Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland and most of the CVRD. Of that, the total population under the age of 60 was 39,710 or almost 71 per cent. The total population under 30 represents almost 30 per cent of the Valley – a far cry from the “seniors outnumbering the
under-30 crowd.” In fact, the percent of our population over 65 (seniors) is only 22.3 per cent. So in fact, the “under-30 crowd” outnumbers the seniors. Now, let’s look at the need for people-focused transportation infrastructure. We are talking about bike lanes, paths, sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, etc. From the 2006 census, as the 2011 numbers haven’t been released, we find that the active workforce in the Valley consisted of about 23,675 people. Of that amount, 2,355 of them reported that they walk or ride a bicycle to work — an impressive 9.95 per cent of our workforce. Now, how much of our local transportation budget is focused on people walking and riding bikes? I would hazard a guess that it is far less than 10 per cent. It is also interesting to look at transit usage — in 1996, 1.08 per cent of our workforce used transit, 0.76 per cent in 2001 and 1.48 per cent in 2006.
This is far below the B.C. average of 8.87 per cent of the total workforce. This highlights a huge opportunity to improve transit and remove vehicles from our roads. As a civil engineer, I spent a good part of my undergraduate career learning about traffic and traffic management. One of the basic truths of how traffic works is that the difference in the volume of vehicles between efficiently flowing traffic and complete deadlock is very small. Thus, any efforts that reduce vehicle traffic in any way have a huge impact in improving the overall efficiency of vehicle traffic. This is a lesson that has been applied with great success in Europe, and is starting to be applied all over the world. The more people who walk, ride bikes and take transit, the fewer cars will be on the road, and the better our transportation system will serve everyone’s needs. Andrew Gower, Courtenay
Fitzgerald residents have rights, too Dear editor, Here’s to the organizers of the proposed Fitzgerald bike lanes meeting that was supposedly for the residents on Fitzgerald. So why were around 50 per cent of attendees from out of town or East Courtenay? I found the input from the three City employees attending to be totally biased in favour of the cyclists, with a cram-it-down-theirthroats attitude for the residents. Among things not addressed were the needs of the handicapped, elderly, businesses, residents and workers in the Fitzgerald area. They seem to be willing to waste thousands of dollars on studies but can’t get the funding for the sidewalk on the west
side of Fitzgerald that has been promised for over 10 years. I sometimes wonder if these people were hired for their expertise in hiring consultants. The issue of cycle safety is really a non-issue (ICBC reports only two cycle-related accidents from 2005 through 2010) and as a cyclist myself who has ridden Fitzgerald many times, I feel that anyone who cannot navigate Fitzgerald without two white lines to guide them should consider the Riverway or other forms of transportation. What about supporting the E&N-Rotary cycle pathway? Would that not be a no-brainer, no-consultant solution to our cycling problems? As a resident for 20 years, I
would hate to see our beautiful little town turn into a Vancouver North with ugly lines, cement barriers vertical sewer pipe roundabouts and signs everywhere! This is just the start of a plan to appease a few at the expense of many. Bob Samograd, Courtenay

OPINION
www.comoxvalleyrecord.com
Public-sector unions must go Dear editor, It is fundamentally wrong for public employees to receive more wages and benefits than private employees doing the same job. The country will never be great until everyone is treated equally and our class structure is gone. As a taxpayer who has seen property taxes increase 30 per cent in eight years, I am tired of paying 100 per cent of my physiotherapy, glasses, dental, etc. and 80 per cent of public employees’ needs. There is something we can do. Publicsector unions must go, as they are going in other parts of the world. For years, public-sector unions have been told who to vote for in civic, provincial and federal elections. Personal gain has always been the objective. Vote in candidates who are sympathetic to the unions, and you allow those unions to control taxpayer money. And don’t underestimate the unions’ capabilities. Look how the HST vote was manipulated. Look who was collecting the signatures. The motive was to discredit the current provincial government and boost the union parties’ popularity. It worked! Stockton has just become the largest U.S. city to declare bankruptcy. Many will follow gone are the obligations to public workers and retired public workers. They bled the city dry. The Scranton, Pa., mayor is rolling back police, fire, garbage collectors’, etc. wages to minimum wage. And look what greed has done to Europe! Solutions? There are two, and both will bring the same results. 1. In elections, we vote for candidates and parties whose election platforms call for equality. No more special privileges to a select few. No more unions. 2. If no party adopts that platform, we vote instead for the union party. I know. I’m starting to get the dry heaves also. The NDP owes the unions big time for years of support. We get them in and they will give the unions everything they want. Maximum class size 15 students. Hire more teachers. Pro-D Day every Friday and 20 days off when a Facebook friend dies. Instead of paying liquor store clerks three times what private-sector clerks get, let’s make it five times. And then there are ferry workers. In the past couple of years, they have sunk a ferry, killed two people and demolished the Duke Point terminal. We’ll give them a large performance bonus. Are you getting the picture? Union greed will bankrupt municipalities, the province and the country. The sooner the better! Once all governments are bankrupt, the problem is settled. John Caddell Sr., Courtenay

Duncan, Conservatives creating chill Dear editor, I am writing to express my opposition to MP John Duncan’s government’s efforts to attack those who question or disagree with your policies. He and his government have demonstrated a disregard for policy-making based on sound evidence and research relying instead on narrow ideological priorities, regardless of what Canadians are telling you. It seems to me that they are trying to repeal the 20th century by their attacks and cuts to CBC, food inspection services, Old Age Security,
medicare, the role of unions, environmental protections. My concern is increased when I realize that they will have to rely on the private sector to do the work done in the past by qualified and efficient civil service employees at all levels. The actions by you to silence alternative points of view (keys to a vibrant democratic society), to stifle the free flow of information that is vital in a democracy include: • Cuts to Statistics Canada, eliminating the compulsory longform census, a most crucial policy tool for analyzing poverty and
Cadillac socialists Dear editor, I saw in the local paper about the socialists invading the Comox Valley last week. Looks like the local NDP are broke so, in desperation, they’ve invited the Communist hordes from Victoria and elsewhere to support the local Dipper candidate. Dix and Dycke? Yeah, now that sounds like a “winning� combination! But at a $100 a plate, it looks like the NDP are turning into what they, supposedly, despise. Looking after the elites, are we? Catering to the wealthy now?
Maybe “Cadillac socialists� have that kind of money to spend but I don’t think ordinary folks, whom they claim to represent, could afford it. Have they turned into something like Tony Blair’s New Labour? Maybe they should call themselves BC Liberals Lite? Instead of having two slightly different versions of the same party, we’ve got a real alternative in this province. Thank God we have the BC Conservatives to look out for the interests of the common man. W. Johnson, Courtenay
Prawn traps stolen Dear editor, We are new to this area and so far we were beginning to think living in this valley was like ... well ... heaven on earth till we had our prawn traps stolen again. Sure, it’s an age-old problem. This happens all the time, but I am writing in to ask the
people who enjoy doing this sort of thing if they could be so kind as to at least leave the traps once checked! It’s expensive to set up good traps. Or if you find a wayward float, call me. Our number is on the traps. Audrea Wulf, Cumberland
inequality in Canada; • Abolishing the National Council of Welfare, whose reports have been used by both government and the private sector for sound policy-making; • Removal of funding of prominent arms-length social and labour market policy research institutes, forcing their closure; • Drastically weakening environmental assessment rules, placing too much power
in the privacy of the cabinet; • An aggressive campaign against notfor-profit organizations that have been critical of government policies; • Pushing an omnibus budget bill that removed adequate time for elected MPs to discuss and review the implications; They are creating a chill for any democratic action by citizens who are speaking out on social, economic
and political issues. I leave you with this quote from a great Canadian prime minister, John Diefenbaker, who, in 1960, said: “I am a Canadian, free to oppose what I believe wrong. Free to stand for what I think right.� MP Duncan’s actions and those of his government fly in the face of this Conservative prime minister’s comments. Cliff Boldt, Courtenay
More support for campsite Dear editor, I must agree with the letter from Summer Joy and Tim Webb (Record, July 25). They make some excellent suggestions about how to deal with this situation, but it appears that Sandy Gray has persuaded this current council to spend our tax dollars and carry on the legal action, started under the previous council, to have Maple Pool closed, thereby putting people on the streets.
If this action is successful and Maple Pool is closed with some 50 people being put onto the street, I hope that our council members and Sandy Gray have deep pockets and will pay the reallocation costs of these people, because I am violently opposed to their spending my tax dollars to rectify a situation that they themselves will have created.

DO-IT-YOURSELFs Tip
EDGING A GARDEN Use a garden hose to mark the best-looking border shape and to make gradual curves. Don’t hesitate to trim the trench a bit here or there as you cut the edge to smooth curves or alter the garden bed shape. For straight borders, follow a tightly stretched string line. Set the front edge of the pavers about 1/2 inch above the soil so the mower can still cut the grass. Drop by and talk to our experts for more information.

Legacy of Queneesh kept alive by talented artists Paula Wild Record Arts
Long ago, rain fell from the sky and filled what is now called the Comox Valley. An old man had warned people living in the longhouses rimming the bay to prepare canoes and lengths of cedar rope. When the village was swept away in the flood, some people tied their canoes to a white whale, Queneesh. The white whale came to rest high on a mountain. Today, most people refer to Queneesh as the Comox Glacier. The legacy of Queneesh is the people who were saved, now known as the K’ómoks First Nation. And their legacy is a rich culture of hereditary rights, ceremonies and distinctive images. A celebration of this cultural heritage takes place Aug. 4 with a 1 p.m. ceremony at the K’omoks First Nation Big House on Comox Road followed by a 3 p.m. reception at the Comox Valley Art Gallery in Courtenay. Images by seven First Nation artists will be on display at CVAG until Sept. 22.
“We chose to honour the magnitude of this significant event for our community by including traditional celebrations with dancing and song at the K’ómoks Big House,” says Dallas Stevenson, guest curator and executive director of the Comox Valley Community Arts Council. “The carvings are used in dance to tell a legend that has a cultural role within the community, transforming the dancer to the character represented in the work.” The seven artists taking part in Legacy of Queneesh are Geary Cranmer, Sean Frank, George Hunt Jr., Stephen Hunt, Tom Hunt Jr., Charlie Johnson and Troy Roberts. Their roots are in the Comox Valley or nearby areas and they are related by blood and through their Kwakwaka’wakw heritage. And they are all artists who have learned their craft through
apprenticeships with fathers, uncles and other relatives. “Many years of dedication are required to learn the art,” says Stevenson. “Also each artist must follow protocol in their use of images that they have been given the right to use either through their inherent family rights or through a
ceremony where they have been given the right.” The exhibit includes a small totem pole, drums and a few paintings including one of an original long house facing Comox Bay. There are also numerous masks and paddles. Approximately 95 per cent of the display features carvings. “In recent years there has been a resurgence of First Nation people working in traditional methods,” notes Stevenson.
“Despite the hardship and challenges their culture faced over the years, it did not disappear. As well as displaying their work, the exhibit brings up issues surrounding cultural appropriation, cultural ownership and to the concept of hereditary rights.” Most of the artists are commercially represented and their work is shown in galleries and exhibits in Vancouver, Seattle and other large centres. Legacy of Queneesh is a rare opportunity to view their work together in one display and to meet and talk to the artists. An afternoon opening is planned as a way to encourage families to attend the ceremony at the Big House and the reception at CVAG. All artists will be present at the gallery and available to discuss their work. The Big House is located on K’ómoks Band land at 3320 Comox Rd., just behind I-Hos Gallery. CVAG is located at 580 Duncan Ave. in downtown Courtenay. Both events are free. For more information, visit www.comoxvalleyartgallery.com.
CARVER TOM HUNT Jr. is one of seven artists involved in the Legacy of Queneesh project.

Seventeen paintings illustrate local artist’s range
ARTIST MARTHA PONTING has work displayed at Martine’s Bistro until mid-September.
Beginning this week, Martine’s Bistro in Comox features emerging Comox Valley artist Martha J. Ponting with a diverse collection of 17 paintings. Riding the crest of two highly successful winter exhibitions, Ponting has experienced a burst of creativity in her new studio. That has resulted in a flurry of vibrant pieces not previously exhibited. Most of these, such as the stunning Marsh Reflections and the joyful Gladiolas, were produced specifically for the Martine’s exhibition. The paintings on display range from the artist’s popular woods scenes and landscapes (Mount Rundle) to abstracts (Strength). Many

Her medium of choice is acrylic on canvas.

Jazz one of the musical genres at Filberg Festival Jazz fans will flock to the Filberg Festival in Comox on Aug. 6 as boogie-woogie pianist Michael Kaeshammer and multi-instrumentalist Phil Dwyer will play two back-to-back sets during the afternoon. As well, the Flora Scott Trio will perform Saturday and Sunday, and the guitar/bass duo Drummond and Hyde will play Saturday and Monday. Phil Dwyer The multi-instrumentalist and composer/arranger burst on the jazz scene in Canada, as well as internationally, in his late teens, and by his early 20s was, to quote Globe & Mail journalist Mark Miller, “startling jazz audiences with his unprecedented command of both tenor saxophone and piano.” Originally from Canada’s West Coast, Phil sought out the action and excitement of New York City when he was just 17, moving there in 1983 to study with Steve Grossman and David Liebman. While there Phil also had the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the true jazz legends that were still on the scene at that time. Phil’s full-time music career started in the summer of 1985 at age 19, as a member of Hugh Fraser’s awardwinning quintet, and the big band VEJI from 1985-90, and also with the David Friesen Trio from 1987-90, in addition to much freelance work on the Vancouver scene. Phil will present his Canadian Songbook Project at the Filberg Festival on Monday afternoon. Featuring wonderful vocal and piano contributions from Jillian Lebeck, and a crack band of West Coast jazz and session greats, the Canadian Songbook Project puts a jazzy spin on the music of some of the best songwriters Canada has to offer.
JAZZMAN PHIL DWYER is one of many musicians at this year’s Filberg Festival. Michael Kaeshammer After studying classical piano for seven years in his German homeland, 13-year-old Michael discovered boogie-woogie and stride piano as played by Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Pete Johnson, Pinetop Smith and Fats Waller. In three years, he was playing boogie-woogie piano in clubs, con-
certs, and festivals all over Germany. He attracted attention almost immediately after the family moved to the west coast of Canada, performing at blues and jazz festivals across the country during the summer of 1996. Besides playing the piano, he sings blues and jazz. Michael continues to perform and tour extensively throughout
Canada, the US, and Europe, and has lived in Germany, Vancouver Island, Toronto and New York City. Flora Scott One of Victoria’s most notable jazz treasures, this guitarist

All-ages fiesta Saturday The ensemble called Zandhunga performs searing-hot salsa, plus cha-cha-cha’s, cumbia, merengues and is set to appear at La Cabaña this Saturday. The Mexican restaurant closed abruptly less than a couple of months ago, but on Canada Day, it opened its doors again in a new location on Cliffe Avenue and right across the street from Sure Copies. The all-ages fiesta with live Latin music, authentic food and dance kicks off this Saturday. The cover charge at the door is $10 and children under 12 years old are free. Music starts at 10 p.m. In addition to original material, Zandhunga has become known for their unique flavour infused into the classic and modern compositions of Latin greats such as Los Melodicos, Joe Arrollo, La India and Celia Cruz. With roots in Mexico City where director, Oscar Robles Diaz was born, the group originally formed as a quintet of four Mexicans and a Canadian. Since then, Z, as the group has affectionately become abbreviated, has grown into a much bigger collective and includes currently locally-based musicians. Appearing as a five-piece this Saturday, instrumenta-
tion includes trumpet, flugelhorn, keyboard, fretless bass, drum kit and a range of AfroLatin percussion. A CD in the final works and with some exciting summer touring ahead, the Zandhungueros are feeling pretty stoked. A lot of hard work has paid off, and a lot of hard work still lies ahead. “Music is its own reward,” says Robles Diaz, “…the more you put into it, the more
you give your life to it, the more you enjoy it, the more you get back. Sharing a love of music with the community here and with the world community is a big part of that reward.” If you love dancing, this is not a show to be missed. See www.zandhunga.com for more information, audio and video clips. For reservations, contact La Cabaña at 250-703-2639. — Zandhunga

Warnes returning to Valley Record Staff One of the world’s most respected singers, a performer at the 2009 MusicFest, returns to the Comox Valley this fall. Jennifer Warnes will sing Sept. 29 at the Sid Williams Theatre. Warnes is one of the most renowned singers of our time, whose voice is one of the loveliest
ALICE IN WONDERLAND Jr. will be presented Aug. 1 to 4 by Rainbow Youth Theatre.
Rainbow rehearsing two plays Rehearsals are underway for Rainbow Youth Theatre’s summer productions. Alice in Wonderland, Jr. will be presented from Aug. 1 to 4, and Dance Princess, Dance will follow from Aug. 8 to 11. Both productions perform at the Mark R. Isfeld Theatre. At the helm of this year’s junior production of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, Jr. is Tamara Ryan, a Rainbow alumnus and an instructor at Gemini Dance Studios. Ryan has a great deal of experience working with younger children which makes her an ideal director for this age group. “It’s important to encourage a passion and respect for performing at a young age,” she says, “because in the performing arts are great opportunities to learn new skills, make new friends and grow in a safe, positive environment.” Together with assistant director Emily Corkery, Ryan is preparing her young cast to put on a show that
will live in the memory as one of the best children’s shows in recent years. Anyone who has wanted to visit Wonderland will be transported there by this young and energetic cast. The cast of Dance Princess, Dance is already being worked hard by director/cowriter Peter Woodhall. Woodhall, a retired high school teacher of English and Theatre, has already directed several productions in the Comox Valley
including The Boyfriend, Robin Hood and the Merry Marys, Snow White at the Sid and most recently, Cleopatra in De Nile. This production promises magic, mischief and mania performed by an incredibly talented cast of young performers. There is a special friends and family deal for both productions — one free ticket for every $50 spent. Tickets for both shows are available in Comox at Comox Videos N More
and in Courtenay at Planet Kidz. — Rainbow Youth Theatre

instruments in contemporary music. As a solo artist or a duet partner, on albums or in movies, Warnes sings it straight from the heart. Her voice is pure. The emotions it conveys are pure, too. Warnes has recorded songs that have won Grammys and Oscars, songs that topped the pop charts and hon-
oured the most subtle aspects of art. The songs also enhanced Warnes’ reputation as one of the most sensitive and selfless vocalists in modern song. Casual fans might know her from AMfriendly duets with Joe Cocker and Bill Medley, while more dedicated fans prize her album Famous Blue Raincoat.

Music heard at the Gardens
THE ART OF Francesca Barker (pictured), Jane Fawkes and Katherine Vogt will be exhibited next month at the Denman Island Seniors Gallery.
Artists’ work on Denman Three Denman Island artists will exhibit their new works at the Denman Island Seniors Gallery between Aug. 3 and 16. The opening night is Aug. 3 with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Francesca Barker, Jane Fawkes, and Katherine Vogt, all long-term residents of Denman Island, offer a diverse arrangement of original callograph prints, contemporary paintings and multimedia, and three dimensional works — including woodcarvings. Barker attended the NIC fine arts diploma program and has been recently accepted into the Emily Carr University. Her multi-media collage paintings express social commentary over a landscape abstraction and are inspired by a deep appreciation of the natural world. Her themes touch on the consumption of natural resources, mainstream media, land, and cultural dysfunction produced from contemporary cultures seemingly unsatisfiable need for more. Her most recent work utilizes found castaway newspaper flyers overlaying painted canvases in a visually arresting weave of blurred images and text.

mass is contained in lines that cut simply and cleanly through the canvas like a river or flag. Fawkes graduated from Emily Carr in 1991 and is inspired by the grandeur of nature, the experimental nature of printmaking, and the mature works of Milton Avery. She will show the callograph plates used to make her prints alongside the 33 prints which are reflections of two particularly special landscapes: Lake O’Hara in the Canadian Rockies and the Komas beaches on the north end of Denman Island. The colors are soft and muted and the simple, strong shapes contrast the minutest of textured detail. The pictures seem to hum and buzz in their peacefulness,
with suggestions of the geological movements and processes that created their landscapes. Vogt is a recent graduate of Emily Carr University and will show a broad range of paintings, 3-D works, and wood carvings. Some of this work is spiritual or mystical. The exhibit is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. — Denman Island Seniors Gallery
The good weather has finally arrived, and just in time for The Gardens on Anderton to host three musical events in July and August. Each Music in the Gardens event will feature the talent of wellknown local musicians, along with a peaceful and outdoorsy setting for you to enjoy. Bring a blanket or some folding chairs and relax under the shade of the trees or under our canopies. The first Music in the Gardens event will take place July 29 from 2 until 4 p.m. Performing the first set will be Philip Nowe on the piano and Tim Croft on bass, alongside Denny Chatelaine, Rianna Nikkel, Andy Merrick and Mary Whyte on vocals. Steve Mason’s Heartstrings, a 10 piece band, will perform the second set. Pack a picnic and come and enjoy the afternoon of jazz music with some friends and family.

Sipping sherry in centuries-old Spanish bodega Peter Neville-Hadley Meridian Writers’ Group
SANLUCAR DE BARRAMEDA, Spain — The official colour of the seaside city of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, which stands at the mouth of Andalucía’s longest river, is albero, the distinctive khakiyellow of the town’s beaches. Houses are often painted in this shade, and the sand itself appears between rows of palms on the lower town’s boulevards and on the floor beneath rows of stacked barrels in the old town, up on a hilltop. Here it helps with climate control, being regularly sprayed with water to keep the humidity high, aiding the production of Spain’s signature drink — sherry. Bodegas La Cigarrera, one of the city’s oldest sherry-making houses, founded in 1758, has a pretty courtyard also painted in the traditional sandy hue, and its almost entirely machinefree operation has been run by the same family for nine generations in what was once part of a monastery. Around the courtyard, thickwalled storehouses with high ceilings and windows that face the Atlantic, shuttered with woven screens rather than
glass, hold vast black barrels that are occasionally repaired, but never replaced. Each bodega cherishes its own particular strains of yeast that make up the “wine mother,” a thick, creamy layer of life on top of the wines which is essential to fermentation and which affects the individual flavour of each sherry. The giant oak barrels contain a mixture of old and new wines: “Once a year we add new wine to the old ‘wine mother’,” explains a guide. “And this helps keep the flavour of our bodega’s wines consistent.” La Cigarrea is not a big producer, making only about 40,000 litres — 4,400 cases — a year. It has a small shop that offers bottles of sherry in pretty presentation boxes, but much of its trade is with locals bringing plastic jugs and bottles for refills, and which are then sealed with sticky tape. In the grid of the “new” town below, still centuries old, signs on high walls indicate the presence of other, larger, bodegas, such as Hidalgo, founded in 1792, and giant barrels are piled at street corners, painted to advertise their bodegas of origin. In the bars sherry is served from vats, with olives, cheese and more than a hundred vari-
eties of tapas. These are taken at shaded tables in the town’s many small squares, brilliant with gaudy bougainvillea. The dimly lit bar interiors are lined with locally produced, fragrant hams suspended by their trotters, sliced on the spot for sandwiches and other dishes, followed by pastries made with nuts and honey, a remnant of Moorish cuisine. Sherry has long been central to Sanlúcar’s economy. Early exports played their part in expanding Spain’s empire. Magellan, who set out from Sanlúcar in 1519 to be the first to circumnavigate the world, spent more money on sherry than on ammunition. Drinking it on the long voyages helped prevent scurvy and the casks acted as ballast, being refilled with seawater when their contents had been drunk. These days it’s visitors from the New World who take home luggage clinking with bottles of Spain’s most famous export.

Para-cyclist hopes sport will grow at local level Scott Stanfield Record Staff
He pedals with his hands but that doesn’t stop Simon Harrington from competing with — and sometimes beating — able-bodied competitors at cycling events. Like the recent Dove Creek Omnium hosted by the Comox Valley Cycle Club, where the Courtenay para-cyclist won the criterium and tied for second overall in the C division. Harrington, 46, used to be a downhill ski racer on the B.C. team for paraalpine, at which time he cross-trained with a hand cycle. A few years ago he became intrigued with the local cycling club when he came across a sign that said Bike Race in Progress. He started racing in summer time trial events, progressing to mass start races. “They were really welcoming,” Harrington said of club members, noting a bit of apprehension to the hand cycle at the beginning. When he first raced in category C he would get dropped early on, but lately Harrington has been able to keep up with and even surpass able-bodied cyclists due to his increased strength and better equipment. “At the first races I would start off at the back — I pretty much do that now anyway — but then I work my way up to the front lately.” The Scotland-born Harrington grew up in Winnipeg and moved to the West Coast at about age 20. When he was 23 he broke his back downhill skiing in Whistler. He has been on Vancouver Island about 14 years, the first half in Victoria before moving to the Valley. Harrington competes in the H3 paraplegic category. Last year, he was ranked about 17th in his division
COURTENAY PARA-CYCLIST SIMON Harrington has competed in numerous races around North America since taking up the sport. by the International Cycling Union by season’s end. He has not been ranked this year, likely due to confusion with a race in Montreal. He kicked off the season in February with a road race in Melbourne, Fla. — the Top End PVA Euro American Handcycle Championship — America’s largest hand cycle event that drew 80 competitors. Harrington finished 15th out of 60 men. Then at the Redlands Bicycle Classic in California he placed third overall in points in H3. He later competed at the Défi sportif in Montreal, from where he qualified for the national development team for his first World Cup para-cycle race in BaieComeau, Que.
“It was a great learning experience for me,” Harrington said of the World Cup. “As far as placing-wise I didn’t do well because basically I’m racing against the best guys in the world. I’m just not quite at that calibre yet, and I had some wrong equipment that didn’t help me.” The previous week he had tackled a tougher course at the Canadian road championships in Quebec. Despite taking the wrong wheels, Harrington placed about eighth. “In reality I was second in my class. They have this kind of odd factoring,” he said, noting a woman beat him in the rankings even though her time trial was 10 minutes slower.
Harrington had hoped to compete for Canada at the London Paralympics. His name appeared on the long list but Mark Ledo, an H3 racer from Ontario, was named to the 13-person Canadian para-cycling team. “He’s a very strong athlete,” Harrington said. Para-cycling incorporates a variety of bikes due to the variety of disabilities amongst competitors. Those with a lower limb disability use hand cycles while athletes missing a limb use regular bikes. The latter are classified from C 1-5 while hand cyclists are H 1-4. H4 competitors hand cycle from a kneeling position. H1 cyclists are quadriplegic and H2 riders are
higher-level paraplegics. Like H3, both assume a horizontal position. Visually impaired cyclists pedal from the back of a tandem bike with a pilot at the front. Athletes with balance issues due to cerebral palsy or head injuries ride on upright, three-wheel trikes. “The classifications are there for the different types of disability, the type of function or lack of function,” said Harrington, who competed this week in Reno. “It’s a growing sport. That’s one of the reasons why I like being out with the Comox Valley Cycle Club. Me being present at races, people see me and they become aware. Maybe there’s people out there with
disabilities that are going to see there’s someone out racing with regular folk and having a great time...We’re trying to build the sport, the para-cycling, within B.C.” In years to come he hopes to see a greater number of people involved in the sport, still integrated with able-bodied cyclists but with a sufficient number of competitors to form a paracycling division at a local event. “That’s what would work great, but right now there isn’t the numbers,” Harrington said. “So I’m forced basically to race with the able bodies. I want to race so this is a means for me to race. And it’s great training for me.” reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

JESSE KNIGHT RETURNS to the Comox Valley to host an indoor volleyball camp at 19 Wing Comox from Aug. 20-23. and spent the last two summers coaching at indoor camps across Canada. There are two options for athletes at this camp. Knight stresses that the daily Skills Camp from noon to 3 p.m. is critical for players of all levels as these fundamental techniques are needed to progress to the tactical demands of the faster high-performance game. “These are skills that even the pros are still perfecting,” said Knight. “Players can expect plenty of skill reps, with lots of constructive feedback and opportunities to achieve skill transfer. We work at performing a skill in a development drill and then using the
same skills in a gamelike situation. We want to give the athletes the tools to perform the technique successfully and put the control of their development into their own hands: they will facilitate their own warm up reps with coach feedback.” The Skills Camp will be followed by the High Performance Camp from 3 to 6 p.m. which will benefit all club-level players and is highly recommended for any athletes with desires to eventually play at the college or university level. The High Performance Camp focuses on individual skill development designed to help each athlete attain their own “next level of play.”

“The high performance sessions are more geared to teaching athletes the ins and outs of their position and how to play that position successfully within a game,” explains Sandholm. “There will be a lot of game play situations, where athletes will learn both the technical and tactical sides to the high-performance game. The offcourt portion of these sessions will provide athletes with the tools needed to be an allaround athlete.” “This includes teaching physical training regiments that are appropriate for the age and stage of the athlete, for example, nutrition – what the athletes should be eat-

Mountain sports athletes: where are they now? The Vancouver Island Mountain Sport Society has been raising funds to help emerging Island-based athletes since the nonprofit association was founded in 2003. Athletes who compete in the mountain sports of alpine, nordic and freestyle skiing, snowboarding, adaptive snow sports, biathlon and mountain biking have been receiving travel grants totaling more than $85,000. Looking back over the last few years, the society can happily report on the many
successes the athletes have achieved. “We are very proud of all our Vancouver Island area athletes,” said Rick Morson, chair of VIMSS. “These athletes train hard all year long and the grants they receive help them with travel costs to competitions locally, nationally and internationally.” Where are some of the athletes today? Many who have received funding from VIMSS have achieved national team level status and are representing Canada at
international competitions. One of the first athletes to receive funding support from VIMSS was Mathieu Leduc of Comox who first joined the BC Alpine Ski Team and is now a member of the National Skier Cross Prospect Team. Fellow Comox athlete Darcy Sharpe has received funding for the past four years and has just joined the Snowboard Slopestyle National Team. Carle Brenneman from Courtenay is on the Snowboardcross National Team and Braydon
MATHIEU LEDUC Luscombe from Duncan is competing on the Para-Alpine National Team.
Max Heard of Duncan and Cassie Sharpe of Comox are both competing on the Freestyle National Development Team and David Kinskofer of Quadra Island is on the Snowboard Slopestyle National Development Team. Peter Stubbs of Courtenay has also been funded for four years and is a member of the BC Freestyle Provincial Mogul Team. “I am very thankful for VIMSS supporting me during my competitive ski season with the BC Provincial High Performance Mogul
Team for the freestyle season,” says Stubbs. “The sponsorship I have received helps a lot with the many costs of competition and training.” The initial goal VIMSS set was to help an athlete from Vancouver Island reach the 2010 Winter Olympics and ideally on the podium. While the Games did not see this goal achieved, there is much hope for the 2014 Winter Games. “There is real possibility that we will see an athlete stand-
ing on the podium in Sochi (Russia),” said Don Sharpe, society co-founder and vicechair for VIMSS. He is also the proud father of Darcy and Cassie Sharpe. The society recently opened the Vancouver Island Mountain Centre at Mount Washington. For more information visit VIMountainCentre.com. The next grant application opportunity is in the fall. All Vancouver Island mountain athletes are invited to apply online.
Congratulations!
BRAD CLAPP, RIGHT, is the 2012 PGA of BC champion. Will Norton of Titleist is at left.
Clapp wins PGA of BC Brad Clapp of Chilliwack Golf & Country Club won the PGA of BC Championship, a three-day tournament that wrapped up Wednesday at Crown Isle. The 25-year-old never trailed in the event. He followed an opening round 65 with a six-under par 66 on Tuesday and 73 Wednesday for a 12-under par total. He earned $5,000 for the victory. “Today’s round was quite a battle,” Clapp said as he hoisted the trophy. “I holed quite a few putts, including two long ones, and I’m glad it was enough to win.” He finished four strokes ahead of second-place finisher Kevin Maxwell of Victoria’s Olympic View Golf Club. In the final round, Maxwell came within one shot of Clapp’s original five stroke lead but a couple of late miscues and a couple of long putts from Clapp cemented the title. “I was disappointed to see my lead drop to one stroke, but kudos to Max for playing so well and applying the pressure,” said Clapp, who has shot 30-under par (63,64,65,66=258)
in his last four PGA of BC tournament rounds. The PGA tour scoring record is 254, held by Tommy Armour III at the 2003 Valero Texas Open. After opening with a 72, Maxwell fired an eight-under par 64 Tuesday, breaking Clapp’s course record set in the first round. He earned $3,750. The 30-year old Maxwell is no stranger to Crown Isle as he grew up playing junior golf at the course. Defending champion Lindsay Bernakevitch of Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club was third at seven-under par. He earned $3,000. The championship had additional meaning for the club professionals. The top 17 finishers qualify for the 2012 PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada, Nov. 18-21 in Florida. The top four will represent Team B.C. at the inter-zone matches. This team will be represented by Maxwell, Rob Anderson of Kelowna, Crown Isle’s Jason Andrew and Kevin Black of Seven Hills Golf & Country Club. Andrew finished at one-over par (72, 72, 73). He earned $475.

The fifth edition of Darren Berrecloth’s Bearclaw Invitational Slopestyle takes place Aug. 2-4 at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. The Bearclaw — the last gold level stop on the Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour — presents an ideal opportunity for riders to distance themselves ahead of the field before heading into the final two diamond level events of the season. “This year’s course will be very similar to last season’s with a few tweaks included to spice things up,” rider/ organizer Berrecloth said. “We have the big line setup for the boys to throw down, and a new line for an amateur comp we’re hosting on the Friday before the main event on Saturday.” The Bearclaw Invitational’s trademark is the quality of course design. Challenging and innovative, the course has morphed over the last few years into what Berrecloth describes as “a perfect site in the trees where riders, photographers, filmers and fans can all get stoked.” Organic and burly, the event site last season was compared to an “Ewok village for freeride mountain biking” by riders and fans alike. Utilizing the same course with the same look and feel of 2011 was high on Berrecloth’s list of priorities. True to his word, a savings in course construction cost has generated a substantial prize purse. The 2012 cash haul has been set at $30,000, a $10,000 increase from the 2011 event. Vying for the prize includes a who’s who

Recalling carefree days of summer holiday adventures W
hen I think of summer holidays I remember the carefree days of my childhood and all the things we did around water, especially fishing, camping and boating. It was a carefree time when the world seemed to stand still and look after the adventures of magic in the outdoors. They were happy, carefree escapades that at times must have bordered on the dangerous, but throughout our exploits we avoided serious injury beyond a few cuts, broken fingers and other minor inconveniences, from some of which I still bear the scars. I wear them today as medals of fishing episodes and outdoor adventures that border on fiction. We are subject to many programs these days that tell us our children are not active enough and they spend too much time involved with the modern technological wonders of our age such as TV, video games, social media and so forth. It was not a problem for us because they had yet to be invented; in the meantime the old fashioned outdoor activities have been with us since time began and are still with us in good portions. Hiking, hide and seek, willow pole fishing and campfire events were usually action-packed carefree adventures unless they are subdued by evening ghost stories told around the shadows of the campfire. There were simple common sense rules of looking after each other and not doing silly things around docks and boats. Yes – summer holidays are great times to be a child in the security of safe family adventures. If you are inclined to do the outdoor thing now is an ideal time to start what can become a lifelong activity – recreational fishing in all of its many kinds and varieties. For the balance of this week I will be joining Wally Nowak and other members of the fly fishing club in teaching children fly fishing skills at the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) Region 1 Kid Camp, which is being held at the Courtenay and District Fish and Game Club grounds from July 23 to 28. We are part of a large number of fellow outdoor people who are helping to pass on outdoor skills such as

children. In closing a special thank-you to the sponsors and volunteers that generously give their time and material support in making this derby such a success. • • • Pink salmon have arrived in good numbers at the Eve River. There are also reports on fish at the Campbell and I suspect in many other local streams. Rivers are running high from the continuing snow melt and abundant rainfall. Traditionally the pinks will stage along shorelines such as Cape Lazo, Little River, Gartley Point and others where beach anglers get a good chance to practice their casting skills. I suggest that you do not delay in fishing your favourite beach because the fish may move into their natal streams ahead of schedule due to the high waters. Earlier this week I spent an interesting day fishing with a friend in an exploration trip from Comox to Flora Islets and Tribune Bay. We trolled the waters off Flora
and all we could attract were several sub-legal chinook. The waters off Tribune Bay had large schools of bait on the sounder, but no large
fish we could entice to our lures. We ended the day with two prime lingcod and one rockfish – not a bad day on the water.

A Celebration of Joan’s Life will be held on Monday July 30 at 1:00 in the Quinsam Hall, Campbell River, BC. Garry Harold Waterfield November 3, 1943 -July 23, 2012 Passed peacefully away at St. Joseph’s Hospital surrounded by his loving family. Predeceased by his son, Ron Waterfield and his mother and father, Harry and Agnes Waterfield. Leaving to mourn his loving wife of 48 years, Janet, Son Gordon (Sandra) of Royston, Daughter-in-law Nadine of Comox, Grandchildren; Andrea, Kersten, Gavin, Madyson, Jayla, Shylane and Curtis, Brothers Ken (Darlene) of Courtenay and Fred (Susan) of Cumberland, Father-in-law Jim Evans, Brother-in-law Ben (Arlene) of Bowser, Sisters-in-law Rose of Cumberland and Glenys of Okotoks, Alberta, special cousin Doug (Liz) of Vancouver, a large circle of extended family and friends and his faithful four-legged companion, Sophie. Garry was born, raised and lived his life well in Cumberland. He married his sweetheart, Janet in 1964 and went on to have two sons that would grow up to inherit his love of the outdoors, fast cars and collecting things. As a teenager he was known for his love of fast cars around Cumberland. So on a Saturday night when you heard the squeal of tires, you would hear it being said “There goes Bucket.� Garry’s life ambition was to be a faller. Starting his career in logging with VanWest at the age of 19 and retiring with Timberwest at 55. Everyone enjoyed listening to Garry’s logging stories as much as he delighted in telling them. After a full career of hard work in the bush, he made a remarkable transition into a leisurely career of what he loves best; hunting, fishing, gun shows and planning the next garage sale reconnaissance with Harry. His cabin on Comox Lake was his refuge, a gathering place for family and friends and a place to renew the spirit. Many people share fond memories of their time at Bucket’s cabin. Garry was a gentle giant. He was a man’s man and his unassuming presence drew people in and instantly put them at ease. He has left a legacy of people who love and admire him. His love of family was unwavering and he conveyed an easy affection with each of his grandchildren who in return respected and looked up to their “Papa�. Celebration of life will take place on Saturday, August 4th, 2-4PM upstairs at the Cumberland Cultural Centre, 2674 Dunsmuir Avenue, Cumberland.

Maureen Connelly
(formerly Maureen Arthur and Toresa Rayne) Maureen passed away at home on July 22, 2012 at the age of 77. Maureen birthed three daughters with R.A.D. Arthur of Victoria. Valerie Ellis and Melanie LeBrun graduated in the Comox Valley. Her son passed away in 1957 and her daughter Shelley Arthur passed away on December 5, 2009. She dearly loved her two granddaughters, Courtenay and Madeleine Pletz, who brought her the joys of sprinkling them with love and stardust and who were like two diamonds as they sparkled her life. A grandson Truman Lebrun was born in April 2009, her little Buddha, a gift from the heavens above with amazing parents of Melanie and Dennis LeBrun. Mom spent many years selling Real Estate in Ottawa, Comox and White Rock. She also taught classes and wrote for the paper. She was a pioneer in alternative health, learning and practicing reiki, reexology, acupressure and massage. Mom’s happiest memories were teaching her passions to others. She was also an active member of the community, volunteering at Hospice, the Cancer Society and the Victoria Art Gallery. No service by request. Happy Memories can be e-mailed to her daughters at mlebrun9@gmail.com if one wishes to oer sympathy to her family or visit www.earthsoption.com Donations in her memory may be made to the Women’s Transition House in the Comox Valley. Buy yourself a Calla Lily to experience a life unfolding in sheer beauty and have happy thoughts of Maureen as she goes to another planet of this vast universe, as she will see you again. She was Irish, so a smile on her face says it all. Earth’s Option – Cremation and Burial Services, Victoria, BC, (778) 440-8500
Margaret Fyfe Our much-loved Mom, Granny, G-G, and friend Margaret Eleanor Fyfe (nee Gibson) died on July 17 after a courageous battle with cancer. Mom has gone home to live in eternal peace with Jesus and will be reunited with loved ones that have gone before her. She is survived by Myna-Gaie (Tom), Gordon (Pat), BettyAnne, Bruce (Ellen), David (Irene), 17 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, a sister and brother, numerous nephews and nieces. Mom had a wonderful sense of humour, was a cheerleader for each of us and a lasting role model for her family. Margaret was born in Victoria, February 14, 1923. She worked in her father’s photography studio (Gibson’s Studio) until she joined the RCA in WW11. In 1943 she married Gordon Fyfe Sr. (deceased) and together they raised six children. Mom was an avid outdoor enthusiast, gardener, photographer, reader and enjoyed listening to classical music. She loved children so she got her Early Childhood degree, and after moving to Comox, she started the Little Christian Daycare at Comox United Church. Our family cannot thank Dr. Harris enough for his wonderful care of mom, which included home visits. Thanks also for the caring help from the VIHA and We Care workers and the many caregivers that stepped forward to assist mom. Mom’s amazingly kind and helpful Eagle Ridge family and church families helped her in so many ways to get through these challenging times. Our mother invested her time in family and friends, rather than material possessions, and it has come back to reward her bountifully. She was surrounded by family and friends in her own home until the end. Those wishing to honour Margaret’s memory may wish to make a donation to a charity of choice. A service will be held at Bay Community Church, 1105 Pritchard Rd., Comox on Tuesday, August 7th, at 2pm with a reception to follow.
