Suspicious blaze torrid when firefighters arrived Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Courtenay firefighters battled a house fire on Archery Crescent early Sunday morning that fully destroyed one side of a duplex, and badly damaged the other. Courtenay fire chief Don Bardonnex said when firefighters first arrived on scene, the house

was fully involved in flames on the first and second floors, and fire then spread into the attic. “The fire was started inside the building; it moved up through the interior on the one side of the building up to the attic and spread to the other side,” he added. Bardonnex confirmed occupants on one side of the duplex are both volunteer firefighters and both

are BC Ambulance paramedics. The blaze, which broke out around 3 a.m., has both neighbours and Comox Valley RCMP looking at the fire as suspicious. “Last night I was sleeping ... and I heard like some yelling and screaming and what sounded like breaking glass,” said neighbour Mike White to media. “I got up to look outside and I heard some-

body yelling that their dog had died, or someone had killed their dog. I came out, the place was on fire and I called 9-1-1. “There was apparently a party here before and something about a pepper spray incident,” he added. RCMP were on scene taking statements and talking to witnesses. Their investigation is continuing. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

One of the Comox Valley’s most well-known farmers passed away last week. John (known as Jack) Farquharson, who grew and sold produce at previously named Farquharson Farms — now Comox Bay Farm — for many years, passed away peacefully Aug. 29 at 90. Farquharson had a large stroke on Aug. 26 and was surrounded by family when he died days later at St. Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox. “He had a very happy life, and a very long life, and he just simply, ran out of life,” said ex-wife Jean Farquharson, whom Jack was married to for 45 years. The two divorced about 15 years ago but reunited for some years before his death. Jack and Jean came to Canada from Scotland and bought the first of the three parcels making up Farquharson Farms in 1953, according to their daughter Diane Kasdorf. As surrounding land became available, they purchased two more lots on either side of the original farm, giving them a total of 192 acres of farm land in the middle of Courtenay. According to his family, Jack was known by many as a man who was “outstanding in his field,” and the play on words brought a smile to his face. Whether it was a field or simply a small garden, Kasdorf noted Jack would be standing in it. In fact, Jack would come out to ... see JACK ■ A2

‘Jack loved the farm’ Continued from A1

COMOX VALLEY FARMER John, (known as Jack), Farquharson passed away last week at the age of 90. years ago. The produce store was expanded into a garden centre after the Farquharsons’ business grew over the years,

and many Comox Valley youth picked produce, like strawberries, as summer jobs at the farm. Jack sold the land to Ducks Unlimited Canada and partners of the Pacific Estuary Conservation Program in 1998 when he decided to retire. Longtime Comox Valley resident Ann Scott remembers Jack from when she was a little girl, as her parents were good friends of the Farquharsons and the two families had all their holiday dinners together. “He was a lovely man. He was always friendly, happy. He was a great tease — I can remember that about him — he was teasing me,” recalled Scott. “I really liked him.” At his request, the family will not hold a funeral.

ONCE IN A blue moon, we get a blue moon. People here were treated last week to the brilliantly clear phenomenon.

Kasdorf’s home in Vernon each year to put her garden in, and she said he was “amazingly healthy, and was working in the yard right up until the day he died.” Jean agreed Jack enjoyed growing things and she noted he was very happy when he was out tending Farquharson Farms. “Jack loved the farm, he just loved the farm,” said Jean. “He loved the outdoors and he loved doing things with vegetables and plants and all that sort of thing.” Kasdorf added Jack was very proud of his Scottish heritage and would often wear a kilt, but more commonly, he would wear his Farquharson tartan tie. In fact, she noted that when paramedics came to pick up Jack after his stroke, they asked Jean why he was wearing a tie. “Mom said, ‘Well he always weeded the yard with his tie on,’” Kasdorf said with a grin, adding he didn’t wear his tie while working on the farm, but really did wear it to do his yard work in his later years. The Farquharsons had brief stints with dairy cows and sheep on the farm before focusing solely on fruits and vegetables. At first, Jack sold produce out of the trunk of his car on the side of the road, but the couple built a small store, which many Comox Valley residents would remember shopping at

Record Staff Bob Huddart has devised a plan to benefit the Comox Valley Food Bank with fresh, healthy food. For $35, the Courtenay resident will add a business card to a directory that would be distributed to thousands of homes and businesses around the Valley, which he has divided into five zones. The money would be donated to farmers who could then grow the food, which would be donated to the local food bank. Huddart notes a business card contains more information than the phone book. “It’s good value for the business,” he said.

Hook is the co-ordinator for youth at the Comox Valley Child Development Association’s mural project — a project that covers the back wall of the building facing the centre’s playground. “This gives these kids the opportunity to paint and be creative and leaves a legacy for them,” said Hook of the large, full-length mural which features a spirit bear in the centre on a forest, surrounded by giant trees. “It’s an avenue for art.” Hook, who has designed other large art pieces and murals in town including the mural on the side of Mountain City Cycle, said the project took

Good news for Comox Valley people with arthritis Renée Andor Record Staff

Just in time for Arthritis Awareness Month, Comox Valley arthritis sufferers have more options to help manage the condition. Comox Valley resident Haideh Jordan, who is a volunteer with the Arthritis Society of BC, understands how debilitating arthritis can be because she suffers from it herself. She recently trained to be a local presenter for the society so she can teach others about the condition and how they can deal with it. “Arthritis is more an umbrella term for lots and lots of different conditions, some of them genetic, some of them because you overuse your body,” said Jordan. “It can be extremely debilitating, deforming, hugely painful, difficult to live with, and then you’ve got all the side effects that go with it which is, you know, either oversleeping or undersleeping, depression, being a little bit manic in your behaviour, and then all the emotional stuff that goes with it.” Jordan organized a six-week arthritis selfmanagement program — which starts Sept. 5 at the Berwick House in Comox (1700 Comox Ave.) — on behalf of the Arthritis Society. This program teaches self-management techniques through lectures, brainstorming, discussions and problem solving each Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m. until Oct. 10. The program fee is $25 and attendees receive a copy of the Arthritis Helpbook. Call the Arthritis Society at 1-866-414-7766 to pre-register. Late registrations will still be accepted after the first class. Meanwhile, two new rheumatologists in

tant. “I’ve got arthritis in my hands and I have to be very careful to not overuse them and not to do certain movements that will aggravate the inflammatory joints. By the same token, you cannot not use them, you know, what you don’t use you lose, so you need, oftentimes, a professional that will help you figure out how to, hold a knife for example, in such a way whereby you still use your joint but you use it gently,” she explained. But she also pointed out that people need to be their own advocates, and create a “health team” for themselves, which can be made up of all sorts of health-care professionals, including physiotherapists and massage therapists. According to the Arthritis Society, there are over 100 different forms of arthritis, and it can affect babies and children as well as adults.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Dentists helping charities The Shoreline Orthodontics Amazing Brace happens this Friday with a treasure hunt to raise funds for charities in the Comox Valley and Campbell River. The annual event, sponsored by Dr. Paul Helpard and Shoreline Orthodontics, begins at 9 a.m. at the Comox Community Centre. Teams from the Comox Valley and Campbell River dental communities hunt for specific items at nine locations before returning. Funds raised will benefit the Comox Valley Child Development Association and Sunrise Resources in Campbell River. The Amazing Brace replaced the successful Tin Grin Cup golf tournament, which was held from 1998 to 2010. This year marks the 15th anniversary that Dr. Helpard has sponsored an annual event that fundraises for children’s charities. In addition, attendees participate in a continuing education lecture and practical sessions that will provide them with information and skills for patient treatment. This year’s Amazing Brace has a pirate theme. Participants have been encouraged to dress up for the event that, along with the many nautical locations in Comox will provide some excellent photo opportunities. People running around town dressed as pirates will be your clue that you have encountered this group doing what they do best, helping others. — Shoreline Orthodontics

THE MOTOR HOME used by the Comox Valley Emergency Program has driven its last kilometre. PHOTO SUBMITTED

SAR motor home laid to rest The venerable old motor home that has served the Comox Valley Emergency Program, and in particular Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue so well the past 10 years, has driven its last kilometre. While the interior layout and technology remains functional, the drive train can no longer provide safe and reliable service for emergency operations on Mount Washington or other off-road locations. CVGSAR in fact suspended mountain operations utilizing the command post more than a year ago. CVGSAR, the busiest ground SAR team on Vancouver Island, has committed to purchasing and building a new, custom designed command trailer for use within its operational area. The state-of-the-art trailer will house VHF,

amateur, HF and satellite communications equipment as well as GPS tracking and mapping technology. The new command post will be utilized for all SAR operations, and be available to other emergency services organizations in the Valley. The trailer shell has been completed by Express Custom Trailer in Parksville. It arrived in Courtenay Monday. Like all equipment utilized by Ground SAR teams in B.C., the purchase and outfitting of this $100,000 command trailer is made possible through hundreds of hours of fund-raising and volunteer labour on the part of CVGSAR team members. CVGSAR has raised some $65,000 towards this project and has received additional financial support through the Comox

Valley Emergency program. CVGSAR has contracted local cabinet maker Andrew Kong to build and install custom cabinets. Signature West Flooring has donated high-end industrial flooring and its installation. Slegg Lumber, Cumberland has donated some of the cabinet lumber, and local electronics guru Fred McGregor has signed on to assist with the significant electrical and data systems that will be installed over the next few months. CVGSAR is looking for in-kind donations, specialized volunteer labour or monetary donations to complete this important project. While CVGSAR has many talented volunteer members willing to commit time towards the project, this time will come on top of the already significant time

demands placed upon volunteers for training and operations as the organization approaches its busiest season. If you have a talent that you would like to share, or if your business or service club would like to get behind a worthwhile community project, we would appreciate hearing from you. For further information regarding this project, contact president Paul Berry. — Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue

Alberni Project displayed The Alberni Project HMCS Alberni Memorial will open to the public Friday morning at the Comox Centre Mall. Courtenay resident Lewis Bartholomew created the Alberni Project in 2000 while he was living in the USA. “It was on a return trip from Vancouver Island on the Queen of Alberni ferry that I saw a painting of HMCS Alberni with a plaque beneath it that said 59 men had lost their lives when it was torpedoed,” he recalls. “I went home to Seattle and HMCS started ALBERNI a small w e b based memorial for the men. I have since emigrated to Courtenay and become a citizen, where I continue my memorial for all the men who served on HMCS Alberni and U480 with an everexpanding website and a mobile exhibit and memorial that has appeared at various schools, malls and public events around Vancouver Island.” This exhibit will be the largest exhibit of TAP to date (and longest it has been in one community at one time) and will be joined with items from the Battle of Atlantic Museum in Duncan. Throughout the dates of the exhibit various films and documentaries pertaining to the Battle of the Atlantic and HMCS Alberni/U480 will be screened. There will also be a raffle for a print of the painting of HMCS Alberni that inspired the creation of the project. A fundraising gift shop will offer T-shirts, pins and other memorabilia. TAP is a privately funded program, not affiliated with the Royal Canadian Legion or any government agency. It relies on public donations and community business grants for its educational presence in the communities. The exhibit will be located in Unit 200 near the mall office and drugstore during regular mall hours (Mondays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 11 to 4). It will be at the mall from Sept. 7 to 23. — The Alberni Project

Fetal alcohol issues discussed The Comox Valley FASD Community Network in collaboration with the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Key Worker and the Wachiay Friendship Centre join communities around the world in recognizing International FASD Awareness Day on Sept. 9. FASD is an umbrella term describing the range of harms caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol. These may include physical, cognitive, behavioural, and/ or learning disabilities. The effects are lifelong. There is great variability in the characteristics of those affected depending on such factors as the amount and timing of the exposure of alcohol. While there are no precise statistics on the rates of FASD in Canada, it is estimated that nine in every

1,000 babies are born with FASD yearly and many more are living with it that go undiagnosed. FASD affects individuals from every community, every culture, every race and every socio economic status. Around the globe, the ninth day of the ninth month is FASD Awareness Day. This particular day and month were chosen to draw attention to the importance of abstaining from alcohol during the nine months of pregnancy. The focus of FASD Awareness Day is to promote prevention and education for communities about the realities of pregnancy and alcohol, healthy alternatives and support for those affected. Community members, health and social service providers, and local decision mak-

ers all have a role to play in creating support, services and policies needed to create a compassionate and effective prevention response. This year, the Comox Valley FASD Community Network along with the FASD Key Worker are hosting a Community Brain Fair this Saturday (Sept. 8) in Simms Millennium Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is a day to celebrate brain diversity, healthy living and healthy brain development. This is a free admission event where all families are encouraged to join us for a family fun day to learn about local services within our community who promote healthy living. Bounce Mania will be on hand along with plenty of other activities and entertainment

for the children and great information for parents and care-givers. We will also be collecting non-perishable goods and donations for families in need. If you, or someone you know, might benefit from FASD supports you can contact the following community resources for more information: • CV Family Services Association – Healthy Families Program at 250-871-7577; • Friday’s Child (a division of the Aboriginal Head Start Program) at 250-334-2477; • FASD Key Worker at 250-338-7793. — Comox Valley FASD Community Network

Healing arts centre hosts community day For a couple of years Rasa has been building a quiet but inspired presence in the Valley. The five women who practice — Sheron Jutila, Fiona Black, Traci Skuce, Catherine Dextrase and Elizabeth Claire Burr — want to introduce the public to the centre. Tucked down by the river on 19th Street, Rasa is a centre for the healing arts. On Sept. 8 it hosts a community day. Opportunities abound for those curious to try yoga classes, meditation and chanting. Come learn about cranio sacral therapy and enjoy the basics of Body Talk. The day begins at 10 a.m. with a hatha yoga class led by Jutila, who holds self-acceptance and self-awareness at the centre of her teaching. Her objective is to share in the joy — and fun — of yoga asana practice.

“I love those moments in a class where laughter comes about through aha! moments of realization,” says Jutila. “These moments transform our inner world, bringing about self-acceptance and calm which inevitably extend into the world around us.” At 11 a.m, Black will introduce participants to BodyTalk and how it helps facilitate the body’s innate healing wisdom. Black will also teach a powerful healing technique called Cortices. This healing tool can be blended into daily life to reduce stress, balance the brain and enhance mental clarity. With a background and training in physiotherapy, Black focuses exclusively on her practice of BodyTalk. “It has transformed my life inside out,” Black says. “It is so gentle and non-

RASA invasive and it really helps awaken body and mind.” At noon, Rasa will hold the doors open for a meet and greet. Classes resume at 1 p.m. with an iyengar yoga session by Skuce who will lead a series of simple postures that help release the hips and hamstrings. Over her years of teaching and practice, Skuce has come to understand that yoga is so much more than stretching out the body. “The amazing thing is that by stretching the body, by giving it a particular attention, we can broaden awareness,” she said. “The practice helps to cultivate a deep listening, a place where you connect with your body, discover what’s there and stop struggling with it.”

Dextrase, a certified cranial sacral therapist, hosts the 2 p.m. time slot. Ask her questions about CST before or after she guides the class to explore energy lines in the body. She will teach basic grounding techniques and do a short grounding meditation. This helps us be present in the moment with an optimal balance of energy flowing through each chakra (energy centre) in the body. Claire Burr will introduce the Yoga of Sound. Burr is a naturally gifted and intuitively skilled yoga teacher, cranial sacral therapist and kirtan artist. “The teachings of yoga benefit students on every level of their being,” says Burr. “It can release the body on the level of muscles and joints, it can purify and strengthen our vital energy and it

can bring awareness to strong emotions so we can learn to be with ourselves with greater clarity and understanding.” Burr brings great compassion and joy to her teachings. Discover the evidence of this as she guides in the practice of sanskrit mantra, music and meditation. Space is limited, so come early, or preregister by calling Black at 250-650-0501. Classes are offered by dana, which is not payment for goods or services rendered but given from the heart. Your generosity is a gift that supports not only the teachers but the community. All dana received will go to Y.A.N.A and to the up-keep of Rasa. Rasa is located in the Riverside Centre buildings at #5 - 145 19th St. in Courtenay. Check www.rasacomoxvalley.com.

HBBA offers power networking opportunity SWIMMING LESSONS The Comox Valley Home-Based Business Association has changed its name to the Comox Valley Home-Based & Small Business Association to better reflect the composition of membership in the group. “Changing the name will make the composition of the group clearer to the public, especially new entrepreneurs,” association president Donna Clairmont said. The name change is one of several modifications made for the year. One is to offer more intensive networking at the meetings, using the hour of time previously allocated to educational speakers. The association will sponsor educational events, scheduled separately from the meetings throughout the year. Thursday marks the date for this year’s

new meeting format. The Power Networking meeting will be held at the Best Western at 6 p.m. There is no fee to attend. The power networking portion of the meeting will allow each person to provide a two-minute summary of their business and

what represents a good lead for that business. To facilitate easy networking, ‘runners’ will get a stack of the business person’s cards. As the speaker completes the presentation, audience members will receive business cards before the next presenter starts.

V9N 2Z7 www.comoxvalleyrecord.com editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com The Comox Valley Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby St., Nanaimo, B.C. V9R 2R2. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org

Schools returning to ‘normal’ Anyone involved in B.C. public education can be excused for wanting a less-tumultuous school year than the previous one. Teachers, students, administrators, parents and support staff are coming off an unsettling time. Strife between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government resulted in teachers withdrawing from some administrative duties and walking off the job for three days. Only sweeping legislation that imposed a sixmonth cooling off period that made striking illegal prevented more disruption. Even then, many teachers spurned extracurricular activities, causing numerous Grade 7 field trips to be cancelled. Government-appointed mediator Charles Jago, much maligned at the time by the BCTF, managed to persuade both sides to back off from entrenched positions and arrive at an uneasy peace. The good news is that, due to a year-long agreement signed in June, the open strife and disruptions of the past school year should not recur in 2012-13. The bad news is that many teachers are unhappy. Steve Stanley, Comox District Teachers’ Association president, deserves credit for honestly admitting that, saying the existing deal did not address key issues including salary, preparation time, class size and the right to strike. Superintendent Sherry Elwood hopes teachers and administrators in School District 71 can refocus on student learning and teaching. That’s a reasonable goal, and it will be possible to a greater degree this time around. Employees who feel their employer has treated them unfairly cannot focus entirely on the job, however. Parents, students and anyone else hoping for a return to “normal” will be disappointed. The BCTF and its members will be distracted by news of their court actions and by an increasingly politicized tone leading to the B.C. election in May. Then we’ll see which government inherits this ticking time bomb. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com Record Question of the Week This week: Seventy-six per cent of respondents so far say that instead of higher fares, BC Ferries is doing the right thing by cancelling 98 sailings on major routes.

MP message from coalition Dear editor, After just returning from another of our regular Vancouver prayer breakfasts, just thought I’d bring MP John Duncan up to speed and offer our continuing support. In attendance: our corporate execs (from CCCE, oil, mining, tobacco, banking, armament, defence, media) as well as our zealous Pentecostal leaders, Zionists, and Christian Zionists. We were honoured this time with a Romney campaign organizer. Absent this time: — developers/realtors and the NRA. Suffice it to say: anyone with “common sense” was there. We discussed our economy, and all agreed — and offered congratulations — that you and your party have obviously convinced the great and gullible unwashed that when you use the word economy you are referring to the economic well-being of Canada and not our corporate bottom line. As Joseph Goebbels said in ‘28, “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.” Many also asked me to hand on congratulations for your flyers. You almost have us convinced that you’re interested in constituents’ concerns, as

opposed to ours. Good show! We need to find you a frequent flyer points award. Our Zionist and Christian Zionist attendees implored me to thank you and your party for following through on equating any criticism of Israel’s Zionist government with anti-semitism. Irwin Cotler’s Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism was a stroke of genius: It even has some Canadians believing that not only does Canada have a problem with anti-semitism, the coalition actually has some connection with Parliament. Great title! Now it makes it difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to question our unconditional support for Israel and its 65-year drive to eradicate Palestine and the Palestinians from the Middle East. Of course our Pentecostal/ Evangelical members — led by our American brethren — are also totally behind our and Israel’s actions. However, John, many remain troubled over Stephen Harper’s lagging efforts to overturn Canada’s offensive laws on abortion, premarital sex, homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Surely he’s not forgetting that

we corporate execs and evangelical leaders positioned him there to do just that. So we’d like you to remind him, redouble your efforts, and get on with it. We were also overjoyed that you’re finally coming through with our design for dividing up the Valley riding. With those loony lefties in Cumberland and Courtenay West and the Denman/ Hornby hippie anarchists out of our new riding, it should secure your seat and our influence into the foreseeable future. On our side, we continue to enhance the Conservative coffers, get our people elected locally, and persevere with our letters to the editor denouncing scientists, climate change, unions, teachers, and Marxists/socialists: you know, that whole tin foil hat brigade. Must run! Remember: stay on script; avoid the media; ignore constituents’ questions; keep up with the flyers. Remember Jimmy Flaherty’s mantra: Stay the course. Above all, John, and the most important point to remember: We who pay the piper call the tune. Your mentor and defender, Lou Cassivi, Courtenay (West)

Ali Baba needs to find his own gold Dear editor, Ali Baba is alive and living in the Comox Valley. It is alleged that he and his band are looking for gold to repair damages done to the taxpayers and to an honest man trying to operate a legitimate business. They have wailed and ranted to the wazir of British Columbia to no avail. Ali and his band have now been ordered to compensate the taxpayers and the honest man. Now, I am not suggesting we put the band into a great sack

and pour boiling oil over them (as Morgiana did in the story), but simply ask them to do the right thing and come up with the gold. Since Ali is living in his own fantasy world, maybe he should go back to the mouth of a cave, yell, “Open Sesame,” and Cassim could bring him some gold. His gloating over the Gas N Go on the Dyke Road will not endear him to honest taxpayers in the Comox Valley. Just because there are no long lines doesn’t mean there is no business going on.

Mr. Procter has more than complied with all the legalities required in opening an honest business and should be allowed to operate without interference or gloating from Ali Baba and his followers. Well, Ali, as you may have guessed, I am a regular supporter of the Gas N Go station on the Dyke and will continue to be, because I like to support honest, progressive and environmentally sound businesses in our beautiful Valley. Jim Landry, Comox

RECENTLY I READ that our glass is not being recycled but now goes to the landfill. It is quite evident that many businesses in the Comox Valley are struggling. Tourists need to be attracted to our area to infuse some dollars and to add vibrance to the area. Of course, many of the oldtimers do not want or like change, but in a few years they will be gone and hopefully so will all the complaints. (I am not against old people, as I am not young myself but I do dislike negative, nasty complainers who tell me to ‘move on’ when I am on a public street.) In areas such as Fort Bragg, California and Kauai, there are glass beaches that attract tourists and support a thriving jewelry business. Why not dedicate a small

Bicycle signage rampant Dear editor, “Sorry, officer, I didn’t know it was a bike lane.” This is a phrase that probably will never be spoken in the Town of Comox. One would think the Tour de France was coming to town as an explosion of new bike lane symbols and signage is everywhere in Comox. I have no problem with identifying bike lanes but this has become ridiculous. On Comox Avenue from between the lights at Anderton along in front of the hospital to the crest of the Comox hill there are at least 63 bike lane symbols and signs. Sixty-three! On Beaufort Avenue, just between Beach Avenue and Ellis Street, there are 29! In about two or three blocks no less. Bolt, Anderton, Noel and I am sure a few others have also been slathered with these redundant signs. Also of note is that when I conducted this extensive research (took about 12 minutes maybe) along this vast network of bike routes on a sunny Saturday at 10 a.m., I counted exactly ZERO bike riders.

I highly recommend an Island Gourmet Trails tour for locals and visitors alike. DID THE RAILWAY ties on the Island railway deteriorate more quickly after they stopped spraying the rail bed?

You and me polluting far more than oil tankers are VICTORIA — I was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And that’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject. Today I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year,

about five per cent of the total marine oil pollution identified. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average. Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil.

POLITICS

TOM

FLETCHER The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of

crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gasintensive crude used in North America is

California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says

the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline

and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

More retirees are becoming schooled these days It’s one of the perks of being comfortably retired after years spent building a career and raising a family, you now have the luxury of making personal choices. Like heading back to school to develop new skills, reawaken a lifelong dream, explore new interests or to learn just for the pure joy of it. Every education choice has a cost. That’s why your retirement plan should include the funding that will allow you to return to the classroom. Here are a few options to get you going back to school: • Expand your RRSP-eligible investments You already know that a balanced, retirement-funding investment strategy should include Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) eligible investments, the best tax-deferred, retirement-savings builder for most Canadians. Consider expanding your RRSP investment strategy to provide a money source for the extra costs of your return to education. • Borrow from your RRSP Through the government’s Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP), you can withdraw up to $20,000 from your RRSP eligible investments for qualifying forms of training and education. But this is an option you don’t want to rush into because you are required to repay your LLP withdrawals within a 10-year period or they become taxable and you’ll also lose the significant tax-deferred growth those savings could have provided if left inside your RRSP for those 10 years. Repayments cannot be made after the end of the year in which you turn 71, so if you still have a balance at that time, you’ll have to pay tax on it. • Establish a TFSA Any Canadian over 18 can save up to $5,000 a year in a TaxFree Savings Account (TFSA) eligible account. TFSA contributions are not tax-deductible but the investment earnings are tax-sheltered and taxes are not applied to withdrawals. Could be a good way to save for your education expenses. • Establish your own RESP People of any age can benefit from the tax-deferred savings

offered by a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) eligible investments although, as an older student, you will not receive the added benefit of the Canadian Educa-

tion Savings Grant and other government grants that are available only to younger plan beneficiaries. Still, you may be in a lower tax bracket when you make your with-

drawals to go back to school, so the tax deferral may result in you paying less tax than you would if you had invested outside the RESP. If you see a real

or virtual classroom in your future and would like to realize your other retirement dreams, talk to your professional adviser about the best path to a financially secure

retirement. J. Kevin Dobbelsteyn is a certified financial planner with Investors Group Financial Services Inc. His column appears every Wednesday.

Jazz at the Elks coming back

ARTISTS ESTHER SAMPLE and Joe Smith will represent the Comox Valley at a prestigious show in Surrey.

Valley artists invited Esther Sample and Joe Smith, two of the Comox Valley’s fine artists, have been invited to participate in the West Fine Art Show Sept. 7 to 9 in South Surrey. The show put together by renowned artist Murray Phillips has been developed as an opportunity to cross boundaries, using art as a medium to raise funds in support of Indspire, an organization that supports indigenous education. Each year, only 15 to 20 of Western Canada’s exceptionally talented artists are invited to participate in an event that takes place at Senator Gerry St. Germain’s Indian Springs Cattle and Land Company in South Surrey. When asked for her thoughts about the event Sample said, “I am very excited to be a part of this art show. It is a terrific opportunity to raise money for Indigenous education and at the same time join other artists in a celebration of fantastic music and art.”

Smith added that for the two of them to be included in this select group is somewhat of a humbling experience. However he did add that it was nice to know that Island artists are being recognized as having the skills to be able to showcase their work alongside some very accomplished artists. One of the feature artists is well known media personality Red Robinson, who has been inducted into the Comox Valley Walk of Fame. Unknown by many he was keenly interested in art early in his career and did pen and ink sketches of the many people he met and admired. Sample and Smith say they are looking forward to the experience and invite art patrons to visit the show’s website www.westart.ca to find out more about the show and its fundraising component. Learn more about Sample and Smith by visiting their websites at www.esthersample.com and www.joesmith.ca.

On Sept. 13 the Georgia Straight Jazz Society starts another season of live jazz. Building on the success and increased attendance of recent years, the new schedule will bring a mixture of established and upcoming combos; musicians from 18 to 85, and genres ranging from Tin Pan Alley to west coast modern jazz. The musician base draws from upcoming stars of tomorrow’s jazz scene as the GSJS invites students from the jazz program at Vancouver Island University, to former professional musicians with an international reputation. The past season presented 39 Thursday concerts (composed of 33 different acts) and five ticketed Sunday night events, including a wealth of new musicians from across Canada who settled in our region during the past three years or so. We are so fortunate to have such depth of talent migrating here, and this has only served to enhance our reputation as one of the few communities in North America where live jazz appreciation has rocketed. GSJS audiences have ranged from high school students to the elderly. Young people (high school aged and up) are encouraged to attend, and discover the beauty and diversity of jazz music. Attendance last season was the highest ever, with an average turnout of 90 for the Thursday concerts. Membership has held steady, as has the number of volunteers who contribute their time to making live jazz performance so popular in

our community. Total attendance last season was over 3,000, and voluntary donations made to the hat resulted in the Elks’ venue becoming an important gig for jazz performers. The society is proud to offer a major performance opportunity for local jazz musicians, as well as a first-class lounge atmosphere, with bar service, in which to play live music in front of an appreciative audience. Acts last season encompassed everything from trios to big bands — in fact, no fewer than four big bands. To match this evolution, the society has invested considerably in the acquisition of wonderful new speakers and sound control; not only is the standard of music rising, but the sound quality has improved vastly, too. This coming season, the GSJS will follow its established tradition of supporting local charitable organizations, as well as funding the Liam Grimm Jazz Music Bursary to a deserving and promising student musician. As well, the society appreciates the range of corporate members who contributed last year, and it looks forward to increasing its

The team’s visit to Courtenay/Comox will include an inter-squad exhibition game to kick off a Come Try Ringette event at the Comox Valley Sports Centre in Courtenay at 1:45 p.m. on Sept. 15. A team training session will also be held at the Glacier Gardens Arena at CFB Comox at 9 p.m. For Come Try Ringette event details, visit www. cometryringette.ca. The Thunder won the 2012 title at the national championships in Burnaby in April by defeating the Montreal Mission in an exciting final. It is the first time a British Columbia team has captured a national championship at this elite level. The team includes a number of national team stars that have represented Canada at the World Ringette Championship level as well

THE NRL CHAMPION LMRL Thunder (in black uniforms during their gold medal game) are coming to the Comox Valley on Sept. 15. as international ringette stars from Finland. The National Ringette League (NRL) is the showcase league for ringette in Canada and strives to

be the premiere women’s sports league in the country. The league has 19 teams participating in two conferences – a Western Conference with six teams

and an Eastern Conference with 13 teams. The objectives of the NRL are to move ringette into the mainstream of Canadian sports activity,

encourage greater public awareness of ringette and to create better competitive opportunities for athletes. For more information on the NRL: www.national-

Crown Isle 18th on top 20 list of best golf courses Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community made the top 20 list of The PGA of British Columbia’s inaugural rankings for golf courses across the province, coming in at 18th spot. Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver came in at No. 1 while Storey Creek in Campbell River was No. 10 on the list, which was released on Aug. 30. In the list of regional medallists, Storey Creek got the platinum award for Vancouver Island while Crown Isle took gold and Bear Mountain silver. Bronze honours went to Cordova Bay, Morningstar, Olympic View and Nanaimo. PGA of British Columbia

members were polled both online and via telephone to make their choices for the top three facilities in the province, the top course in their region and a hidden gem anywhere in the province. Over the six-week polling period, more than one-third of the association’s 650-plus members responded. From these results using weighted rankings, three groups of deserving facilities were identified: • B.C.’s Top Twenty Courses • B.C.’s Top Regional Facilities (the top ranked public-access courses from each of five regions across the province) • B.C.’s Top Ten Hidden

Gems In all, 50 of the most noteworthy facilities across B.C. are included on these three lists. Says Association executive director Donald Miyazaki, “With PGA members being both competitive players on, and instructors at,, all of the top courses across B.C., it was a natural fit to poll our membership to find their selections.” The ranking is a partnership between the PGA of BC and Inside Golf magazine. Inside Golf Inc. (publishers of Inside Golf magazine, Canadian

Golf Traveller and www. insidegolf.ca) managed the survey and contacted all facilities across the province in and then tabulated the results. The top 20, with location, course architect and year of opening listed after the course name, were: 1. Shaughnessy Golf G l & Country Club (Vancouver / AV Macan; 1960) 2. Capilano G&CC (West Vancouver / Stanley Thompson; 1937) 3. Victoria GC (Victoria / possibly Harvey Combe; 1893) 4. Big Sky G&CC (Pemberton / Robert Cupp;

Ladies play fun game

CODY AND LUCAS Falconer received saddles for winning the Canadian high school rodeo championship in team roping.

Falconer brothers top team ropers in Canada Earle Couper Record Staff

It’s been a busy summer for Comox Valley team ropers Cody and Lucas Falconer. The duo captured first place at the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals, held Aug. 2-4 in Virden, Man. Winning the first and third go-rounds earned the brothers a saddle each plus some scholarship money. On July 15-21 they attended the world’s largest rodeo – the 64th annual National High School Finals Rodeo at Rock Springs, Wyoming – featuring over 1,500 contestants from four states, five Canadian provinces and Australia. “The nationals didn’t go so great,” said Sam Oakford, the boys’ mother. “But we went to Cheyenne, Wyoming and won some money, saddle pads and

buckles there.” Returning to B.C. the brothers competed at the Aug. 10-12 BCRA Chilliwack Rodeo, where they placed eighth in team roping (out of 64 entries) and Lucas finished sixth (out of 26 entries) in calf roping. “The boys had a great time,” Oakford said, adding that the duo also had their photo taken with Montreal Canadiens’ goaltender Carey Price, who during the summer swaps his goalie stick for a lariat and competes in team roping events. This is Cody’s last year on the high school rodeo circuit as he has graduated from G.P. Vanier. Lucas is in Grade 11 at Vanier. This year, the duo placed second in the province (reserve champions) in their event, earning a spot on the nationals and Canadians teams. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Interesting – that may well be a good descriptor of the game of Back-up/ Move-up played Aug. 28 by the Crown Isle Ladies golf club. Everyone starts from the white tee box – if you bogey or more you move forward a tee box on the next hole. If you par the hole you start from the same tee box on the next hole; if you birdie the hole you go back a tee box for the next hole. Play continues moving up or back. Low gross winner was May Mitchell with an 80 and second went to Katy Macaulay for her 83. First low net was Eleanor Peter’s 65, while there was a threeway tie for the second at 69 scored by Pat Johnson, Sandy Linhart and Anne Sands. The KPs were awarded to Mavis Baines on #12 and Helen Kitchen on #7. Lots of birdies: Mavis Baines (#2 and #12), Sandy Dudley (#16), Pat Johnson (#12), Katy Macaulay (#16), Jan Macfarlane (#16), Maggie Maclean (#1 and #13), May Mitchell (#6), Sandra Morton (#18), Barb Parker (#17), Eleanor Peters (#15), Iris Peterson (#16), Anne Sands (#5), Sheila van Gisbergen (#2) and Donna Wilson (#7). In the Par 5 (25+hcp category), Pat Johnson had a par on #1 and Gillian Kirkpatrick had one on #5. Perhaps two descriptors would be more appropriate – interesting and fun.

Alberti wins Silvio Alberti shot 32 at Sunnydale Men’s Night to win low net last week. Close behind was the upand-comer Vance Johnson with a net 35 followed by Jules Urban and Darrell Smith 35.5s. On the gross side Jordon Rallison 35, Dave Pye 37, Robin Ward 38. Robin also wins a golf lesson for the straightest drive #1 thanks to Brian Benedictson. KP #2 Jordon Rallison won a gift pack thanks to Lordco. KP #3 and #5 cash prize Peter Benedictson. Closest to the Pinchazo #3 Silvio Alberti wins a natural enhancement product from The Romance Shop. KP #4 Bob Tarbuck wins Golfer’s Toolbox thanks to Swinkey Golf. Jordon Rallison long drive #6 and KP # 8 wins a set of darts thanks to Pacific Western Brewery. Longest putt # 7 goes to Earl Costello who won a gift certificate to the Whistle Stop. KP #9 goes to Randy Bennett thanks to Freakin Coffee. It’s 5:30 shotgun: try and get signed up as soon as you can.

Small field THE BROTHERS DID well at the BCRA Chilliwack Rodeo where they met fellow team roper Carey Price, the Montrèal Canadiens’ goalie.

Sunnydale Ladies Golf on Tuesday, Aug. 28 had a smaller turnout than usual

PAR FOR THE COURSE but it was a good day for golf. For the nine-hole players, low gross went to Ardene Larison and low putts went to Louise Smiley. Today was their Turkey Shoot and the winner was Maureen Holt. Second was Ardene Larison and third was Louise Smiley. Honourable mention goes to Maureen Holt for a birdie on #4. Next week will be regular golf. The 18-hole girls low gross winner was Lys McCrone with 90. Next was Judy Berkeley with 91, Teri Sleigh with 92, Fran Gibson 93, Patricia Lowe 95, Jane Grant 95 and Marlene Gerrie 95. Low net winner was Betty Lund with 63. Next was Anna Butler with 64, Blod Crookshank 68, Doris Squire 71, Ann McLeod 72 and Trisha Harris 72. Low putts winners were Teri Sleigh, Lys McCrone, Betty Lund and Darlene Clark. Longest putt on #9 Kathy Reid. KP on #10 sponsored by Anne Newman Pro Shop was Frankie McCaffrey. KP #15 Anna Butler. KP #5 second shot Becky Kenner. There were about six birdies and three or four chip-ins. This week we are saying goodbye and good luck to our lady pro who has been with us for quite some time and we wish her the very best for her new endeavours. Thank you, Anne. Next week is regular golf.

Amazing golf On Thursday, Aug. 23 there was some amazing golf at Comox. Jan Dafoe (37) had low gross, followed by Sue Leakey (38). Low net was a tie between Barb Dixson and Luella Dooe (33). Long drives: Darlene McCauley, Sandy Tofnail; KPs: Darlene McCauley, Nancy Newton, Jo Falco; longest putt: Linda Callender; fewest putts: Karen Vanetta, Jan Dafoe, Nancy Newton (13). On Tuesday, Aug. 28 the Comox ladies played a fun game of Ts and Fs, where you count only the net score of holes that start with the letter T or F. Phyllis Taylor had the lowest score (32), followed by Sharon Crowe (34) and Val Pearce (34). Long drives: Amber Dufour, Linda Baker; KPs: Marg Kelly, Pat Schmidt, Val Pearce; longest putt: Mary Suchla. We would like to thank our sponsors: Signature Wines, Sprinklers, Doug Petrie Golf, Panago Pizza, Playtime Gaming, Loonyrama, Arizona Gifts, Kathy Branch, Shipwrecked Bead Shop and Chinook Forest Products for their contin-

ued support of the Comox Ladies Golf Club.

Challenge For a different challenge, the Tuesday Night Men’s League at Glacier Greens Golf Course played an “any three clubs plus putter” scramble. The players had to often conjure up innovative shots. An often heard comment was, “Gee, I should try that type of shot more often, it really works.” 1st -4 Tremblay, Barry Hewer, Nick Mykitiuk and Ron Carter. 2nd -3 c/b Chuck Brown, Wayne Oglivie, Claud Dufault and Wayne Mabee. 3rd -3 c/b Clint Perry, Adrian Haut, Bryan Hotsenpiller and Dick Stuart. 4th -3 Bill Girard, Bob Mowat, Rick Verbeek and Keith Ross.

The 2012-2013 women’s hockey season is just around the corner. The Courtenay Whalers women’s hockey team is a fun and happy group of women meeting on the ice every Thursday to improve their hockey skills and have fun while working out. Levels of abilities vary from beginner to advance.

Third place went to Hug and Tug, who lost by a single point to the Young and Old in the semifinals.

The tide seemed to swing again when Scoregasms’ quarterback Alex Mertl connected on a bomb down the sidelines on second down to get his team to the five-yard line. But they couldn’t penetrate the defence from there, as he watched his final two quick passes rattle off the hands of receivers just inside the end zone. The Young and Old’s victory gives them back-to-back titles for the spring and summer, while their quarterback Troy Donaldson

Trailing by a single point and with two cracks at the end zone from the five-yard line, the Multiple Scoregasms were in the driver’s seat to determine the Comox Valley Sports & Social Club summer Flag Football League championship last Tuesday night. Things had looked bleak just minutes earlier when Adam Jones, the Young and Old’s top receiver, had leaped through the air to haul down a touchdown pass in double coverage on the previous possession. That score vaulted the Young and Old ahead by a 26-25

:PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET

July 5, 1963-August 21, 2012 Father, Husband, Son, Brother, Uncle, Friend, Teacher, Mentor, Musician, Artist. It is with a sad heart that we announce the passing of our dearly loved Blair. He gave so much wisdom, strength and courage during his 2 year journey living with ALS. He passed with peace and acceptance and a smile on his face. Blair was a proud and loving father to his 12 year old son Max. They shared a deep appreciation for listening and creating music together and had many many hours of true connection with song and word. For 23 years, Blair shared his life with his wife, best friend and soul mate Cathy Silversides. He was dearly loved and will be forever missed by his parents Arnold and Anne Polischuk and brother Darrin Polischuk and wife Paulina. He will be fondly remembered as â€œawesome Uncle Blairâ€? by all his nieces and nephews (Amanda, Jessica, Jay, Niko and Kyra). His quick and often quirky sense of humour was always understood and well appreciated by his sister-in laws Karen Christie and husband Wade and Linda Davidson and husband Rick as well as his mother and fatherin law Pat & Dave Silversides. Blair was a wonderful storyteller and captivated all his friends during our many neighborhood dinner â€œclanâ€? parties. Good food, good drinks and beautiful conversations we all shared will be forever remembered. Blair was passionate about everything he thought, did and said. He was intensely curious and fully embraced so many different joys in life: music, photography, business & marketing, teaching, cooking, bonsai, skiing, nature, fatherhood and friendship. Blair was so grateful for all the care received from his Angels which include his â€œassistantsâ€? Dana and Tammie, his Vancouver team at the ALS Clinic (Brigitte, Gwyn, Amy, Dr. Briemberg), his therapists at home (Shannon, Jen, Carol, Meg) and his physicians Dr. Konway and Dr. Fehlau. Thank you for your expertise, wisdom and care. We will forever miss you Blair, but take comfort in knowing you are with us, everywhere. We wish him best light and the good feel of musical rhythm forever. We love you, always. There will be a Gathering for Blair on Thursday September 6th at 3pm at the Union Bay Community Hall. Please join us. All are welcome. In lieu of gifts, donations can be made to the ALS Society of BC.

DEATHS

Marleen Alice Williams (nee Miller) It is with a heavy heart I say my final goodbye to my wife of 16 years Marleen who passed August 17, 2012 after her valiant fight with cancer. The Williams family will be having a gathering of close friends and family during this unfortunate time. A public Celebration of Life has been arranged by Marleenâ€™s given family (the Millerâ€™s) to be held in her home town of Cumberland. Any donations to the Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. A special thanks to the staff at St. Josephâ€™s Hospital and the care from all the doctors attending to Marleen. I appreciate all the support and understanding I have received by so many during this difficult time. Thank you, Dave G. Williams Gathering to be held at the family home September 8, 2012 at 1:00 pm, 3796 Beach Terrace, Royston.
