In other Comox Valley highlights, MusicFest was first among local festivals, the Waverley Hotel was the third-best live music venue, Crown Isle was the second-best golf course and the Kingfisher was the first runner-up spa.

Various locations of Thrifty Foods, Quality Foods, Winners, Home Hardware, Home Depot, Canadian Tire and Sport Mart placed in the top three in their categories.

The Atlas was also picked as the second runner-up in the best breakfast/brunch category.

“It’s a significant effort from past and present employees.

It’s a wonderful tip of the hat to say we’re on track and people are receiving it the way we want them to receive it.”

A Try It Day open house at the LINC Youth Centre in Courtenay this Sunday is part of the third annual Sports Day in Canada.

SDC is a national celebration of sport, from grassroots to high-performance levels, in communities across the country. In 2011, 1,300 organizations and nearly one million Canadians “got in the game” and took part.

At the Courtenay Recreation Association’s LINC Youth Centre, the day will begin with a Girls On The Move Geo-caching Adventure. Try the GOTM program and learn how to use a GPS system in a real-world treasure hunt.

Finish the day with a cooking session of healthy foods with ELM Fitness, and a stretching session with Island Pilates Fitness at the LINC. Activities Sunday will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 300 Old Island Highway in Courtenay, not far from the Lewis Centre.

For details, e-mail dstarritt@courtenay. ca or phone 250-3348138.

Leading up to, and including Sept. 29, over 1,000 local organizations, communities and schools across Canada will throw open their doors to celebrate sport at the local level, and help build momentum for Sports Day. On the ground, in

communities across the country, organizers will hold a blitz of Sports Day in Canada events, with community-wide festivals, tryit days, open houses, games, competitions, meet-and-greets, tournaments, fun runs, spectator events and pep rallies that celebrate sport at all levels.

Organizers can create something new, or throw open their doors to something they’re already doing -- and invite Canadians to lace up and join them.

To register an event, find existing events and download promotional material, visit http://sportsday.cbc.ca.

This Friday is a national day to show your love and support for sport by wearing a jersey, team or club uniform to school, work or play. From municipal council chambers to office buildings and classrooms across the nation, a sea of Canadians will wear their hearts on their sleeves on national Jersey Day. Businesses are encouraged to ask employees to wear sports jerseys to work and donate $2 to Kidsport or the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program.

The national day of sport celebration will be marked by a television event airing on CBC Sports. The Sports Day in Canada on CBC broadcast will profile standout community events from

across Canada that embody the Sports Day experience, unified by award-winning national sports anchor Scott Russell.

Sports Day in Canada is presented by CBC Sports, Radio-Canada Sports, ParticipACTION and True Sport, working with national sporting organizations and their networks of coaches, athletes and enthusiasts across the

country. It’s an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the power of sport to build community, fortify our national spirit and facilitate healthy, active living.

Sports Day in Canada is supported by Sport Canada and is expanding its reach in this province thanks to a partnership with B.C.’s Ministry of Health.

YANA needs help with Christmas cracker campaign days during October, with the exclusion of Thanksgiving Monday.

YANA is located at 495 Fitzgerald Ave. in Courtenay.

YANA also plans to make the crackers on some Saturdays in October, again with the exclusion of the first weekend of the month due to Thanksgiving.

Also, if a group of six or more friends or co-workers would like to volunteer together they can sign up for an evening on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Groups must register and can do so by calling 250871-0343.

Volunteers are asked to refrain from bringing children when making the crackers because the small YANA office can get chaotic.

The crackers will be sold for $2.50 at various businesses, and at the YANA office in November.

YANA has assisted families that have to travel from the Comox Valley to seek medical help for their children since 1986. It also has four fully stocked apartments in Vancouver for families to stay in when visiting the BC

Fundraiser assists Valley families with sick children Renee Andor Record Staff

Although Christmas may be a ways off in the calendar, You Are Not Alone (YANA) is gearing up for its annual Christmas fundraiser — and it needs community help.

YANA’s popular Christmas cracker campaign raises funds to help Comox Valley families who must travel to receive medical care for their sick children.

The popular crackers will go on sale in November, but YANA needs volunteers to help make the crackers starting Oct. 1.

YANA director Sue Bowie says volunteers have fun and contribute to a good cause when they get together to make the crackers.

“It’s fun, it really is,” says Bowie. “Everybody has a good time and you meet new people.

It’s for an excellent cause and it’s a Valley tradition to come make them, and to buy them.”

YANA plans to create 5,000 crackers before November rolls around. While most crackers feature the traditional coloured hat, quote and toy, 50 of them will include a special prize and one will include the grand prize, which will be announced soon.

Last year, it was a gold, diamond and sapphire ring from Mark

CVRD picks priorities

One more mountain experience for 2012 One final program for the 2012 season will be offered by Strathcona Wilderness Institute (SWI) at the Strathcona Park Wilderness Centre at Paradise Meadows in Strathcona Park.

This Friday, SWI volunteer Eduard Fischer will guide a Map & Compass Hike to the Cruikshank Canyon Lookout. Meet at 8 a.m. at the Wilderness Centre for this eight-hour, 22-kilometre outing.

The day will include some navigation instruction, doing compass settings and practising how to navigate obstacles and maintain direction in the backcountry.

Pre-registration is advised. E-mail coordinator@strathconapark. org.

Dress for the weather, wear proper footwear, bring lunch or snacks, plenty of water, bug spray and sun protection. No pets please on SWI guided nature walks and hikes.

SWI programs are free, although a donation of $5 to 10 is appreciated to help with the institute’s ongoing activities.

The Wilderness Centre is at the Paradise Meadows trailhead in Strathcona Park, adjacent to Mount Washington’s Raven Lodge, and is operated by the Strathcona Wilderness Institute (SWI), a nonprofit Society.

After the end of the month, the centre will be open for visitor information on occasional weekdays and weekends — for the most up-to-date information, visit www. strathconapark.org.

The regional district board has identified the following as strategic priorities for the district: rainwater management, First Nations relations, policies for agriculture and aquaculture, the E&N rail corridor and the Mount Washington Integrated Resort Community Plan.

The latter updates a local area plan for the Mount Washington area, which is recognized as a new settle-

ment node under the Regional Growth Strategy.

“We’re working on the doables,” board chair Edwin Grieve said following a recent committee of the whole meeting. “It’s critical to get successes under our belts.”

The Comox Valley Multicultural and Immigrant Support Society invites the public to celebrate your Harvest Festival, the Asian Moon Festival and Canadian Thanksgiving with a multicultural potluck dinner this Sunday at Lewis Park.

Guests are asked to bring a traditional harvest food from their country of origin to share on the buffet table. Also bring a plate, cup, cutlery and serving utensils.

Donations toward hall rental and future activities will be accepted at the door.

The society chose Sunday to celebrate the similarities of the many harvest festivals around the world because it is the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which is the day the Moon Festival is celebrated in Asia. It is also the night of the September full moon, which is called the harvest moon.

Harvest festivals are held worldwide to celebrate the harvest, show gratitude, and share with family and friends.

In Korea, Choosuk is celebrated during the harvest season

In China, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam, the Moon Festival is a time for family and friends to enjoy the full moon that is a symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.

The event runs from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Tsolum Building beside the tennis court at Lewis Park.

Sports Day including LINC To mark this year’s Sports Day in Canada, the LINC Youth Centre will offer its usual wide variety of activities as well as hosting some extra-special options.

The add-ons for the national celebration of sport, from grassroots to high-performance levels, include a geocaching adventure and introduction to mountain biking Sept. 29.

Gospel of kale

FRIENDS WILL HOLD a fundraiser Oct 6. to help Jen Nordhus and Jordan Fielder.

Couple needs assistance A fundraiser Oct. 6 in Courtenay will help Jen Nordhus and Jordan Fielder following a biking accident in Fort McMurray that left Jordie paralyzed from the chest down.

Jen is eight months pregnant with their first son, Logan, due to be born Oct. 22.

Jen grew up in the Comox Valley, graduating in 2000 with friends who still live here.

Since the accident, Jen has relocated to Edmonton, say friends of the couple. Jordie was at the University of Alberta hospital for several weeks following spinal reconstructive surgery, and is now an inpatient at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.

Jordie is slated to finish rehab in Edmonton on Oct. 4. They are looking for a different home to return to in Fort McMurray for the winter, as their home was three storeys and not wheelchair-accessible.

The couple plans to move home to the Comox Valley in the spring. With many physical, emotional, and financial challenges ahead, friends in the Comox Valley hope to help them financially as much as possible with the fundraiser

Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Native Sons Hall.

Tickets cost $20 and are available at Happy’s Source For Sports in Courtenay, 4Cats Art Studio in Comox or online at www.ticketweb.ca.

Expect appies, dancing and a silent auction as well as live music from the Mel Bay Band and Luke Blu Guthrie.

For more information, visit www.supportforjord.org or visit the Facebook page Support for Jord — Fundraising Event.

Sharon Hanna is a writer, teacher and creative cook, and comes to the Comox Valley to convince everyone that they should be growing at least 12 kale plants in their garden.

“Kale is the most versatile vegetable we can grow in our climate. It practically grows itself, grows year around, and is a nutritional powerhouse,” states Sharon.

“It provides, leaves, mini broccoli-buds in spring, and tasty flowers that bees love. If you can grow just one vegetable, this should be it!!”

Sharon speaks at the Comox Public Library this Friday from 2 to 3 p.m. and will be at the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market on Saturday from 9 to noon. The market will be hosting a mini Kale Festival and Sharon will answer questions, sign copies of her book, and provide recipe ideas.

For more information on Sharon Hanna’s visit or the Kale Festival, contact Arzeena Hamir at 250-702-5657 or arzeenahamir@ shaw.ca.

Based on every dollar you invest in The Greater Interest GIC®, Canadian Western Bank will make a donation to your local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.

It has been proven time and time again that sport has the ability to bring people together. Whether at a global, national or grassroots community level, sport is a universal language understood by all.

“Our nation, and our communities come together through sport,” said Karri Dawson, director of True Sport Operations. “In fact, Canadian research tells us that, after the family, sport is the most powerful influence on young people’s development.”

“We are thrilled to be able to be a part of Sports Day in Canada,” says Dana Starritt, youth services co-ordinator at the LINC. “It gives us the chance to showcase our Girls

On The Move program whose goal is to encourage girls to try new activities, get moving and reduce financial barriers to physical activity.”

Anyone interested can try out Girls on the Move for this special all-day adventure, including geo-caching, a healthy cooking and nutrition session with yummy treats included courtesy of ELM Fitness, as well as a stretching session with Island Pilates Fitness.

Another option is an introduction to mountain biking camp with instructor Martin Ready from Island Mountain Rides. Get a foundation in safety and skill development, and then hit the trails for a guided tour of the scenic trails of Cum-

berland for only $55 (bike rental available for an extra $25).

“The LINC provides year-round activities, including our digital arts, cooking, and music programs, and these as well as our skateboard park, outdoor basketball court and road hockey gear give youth a chance to try out all kinds of activities in a safe and supportive environment,” says Alexis Forbes, LINC youth worker.

Courtenay Recreation’s LINC Youth Centre is at 300 Old Island Highway, not far from the Lewis Centre.

The phone number is 250-334-8138.

THE ARTS 12

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2012

COMOX VALLEY RECORD

Three new shows starting at gallery In our digital age, where computers and ink jet or laser printers can create thousands of “prints” of an artwork, the understanding of printmaking techniques is often incomplete.

Mechanically printed images, most notably inkjet or giclée prints on paper or canvas are correctly termed reproductions but are commonly called “prints.”

Did you know that the term “print” used for this computerized replication of an image originally comes from the world of visual art printmaking, which in itself is a variety of complex techniques?

The word print refers to an image that has been impressed onto a surface, usually paper, by a process capable of repetition.

This Friday, the Comox Valley Art Gallery invites you to the opening reception of three new exhibits: Screen Printing: Ad, Art or Alchemy?, Taking Ink and Once in a Blue Moon from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. exploring screen printing, intaglio printmaking and relief prints.

Everyone is welcome to attend; these exhibits are family-friendly and include a display of art by Comox Valley youth.

Light refreshments will be served, there will be a no-host cash bar and the welcome address will take place at 7:30 p.m. The exhibits will run from Sept. 29 to Nov. 3.

••• In the main gallery, Screen Printing: Ad, Art or Alchemy? is a compendium of artworks from the collection of Comox Valley-based screen printer Andy MacDougall.

Included in this collection are pieces on loan from private collections (regional to international).

All works are based on the process of screen printing, which is also known as silk-screening or serigraph print making. This printing process uses stencils to block out areas which are then printed through silk, other fabric or metal mesh (screen).

Several different screens may be used to print an image in several colours. In this exhibit are artworks by First Nations artists, contemporary visual arts, rock posters, T-shirts, textile art, snowboards, and skateboards.

This show examines the vast world of screen printing and the integration and application of this art form into everyday life while challenging viewers to question definitions of art and how it is produced.

Integral to the exhibit is the aspect of showing you how the prints are made.

MacDougall will bring parts of the print shop to the gallery and while you are surrounded by hundreds of unique and interesting completed prints, you are invited to give it a try.

At the opening reception, you’ll be able to pull a small print to take home.

Also, throughout the run of this show, the gallery has scheduled print workshop/demonstrations of three images being created. Local artists Tony Martin (yes, former CVAG curator), Andy Everson and Alex Witcombe in consultation with Andy MacDougall have created images for a limited edition gallery fundraising campaign.

Pre-sales begin Sept. 28 and the prints, scheduled for completion Nov. 3, will be launched at the Cirque du Soiree Masquerade Dinner and Dance.

Each week, Andy will lay a new colour down so that as the weeks go by, you can return to watch the completed images emerge. And yes, anyone can try it out. Get in there, roll up your sleeves and pull some prints.

The shop, the ink, and a demonstration are provided, then you can participate.

Reservations will be not necessary, but the gallery requests that you contact us if you plan on bringing a large group (i.e: more than 10 persons and school tours are welcome).

The dates and times for these workshops are Oct. 3, 10, 24 and 31 and Saturdays on Oct. 6, 13 and 27 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Attendance is free or by donation.

••• In the Community Gallery, Comox artist Channing Holland presents Taking Ink, a collection of her intaglio prints: etching, Chine-collé, collographs and viscosity rolls.

Employing drawing and surface treatments, Holland manipulates copper plates, ink and the press to produce a variety of richly textured colour and tonal images on paper. Intaglio (from the Italian word Intagliare, to carve or incise) is a category of printmaking in which the surface of a printing plate has been incised with a design by one or a mixture of techniques.

To print the image, ink is applied and wiped across the surface of the plate, filling the recessed areas. Usually the excess ink is then cleaned off the unworked surface of the plate. When printed under great pressure, the paper is forced into those incised marks, thus picking up the ink and often creating ridges and raised areas

SCREEN PRINTER ANDY MacDougall is the focus of one of three new shows at the Comox Valley Art Gallery. in the final printed impression.

The main types of intaglio prints are engraving, etching, aquatint, and mezzotint. If you would like to see how Holland’s intaglio prints are created, she will host a demonstration at the gallery Oct. 13 from 1 to 2 p.m.

••• In the George Sawchuk Gallery is an exhibition titled Once in a Blue Moon, featuring the relief prints of the senior elementary students of Beachcomber Com-

munity School in Fanny Bay. Led by instructor Jolaine Kelly, the school’s art teacher, this collection of artworks explores a variety of relief techniques. Relief is a category of printmaking in which a design on a flat surface is carved with a knife or chisel, removing the areas that the printmaker does not want to be printed.

The surface is then rolled with ink and printed and the resulting impression will only show the

lines and shapes of the design left on the unworked surface by the artist. The most common types of relief prints are woodcut, wood engraving, and linocut.

••• For more information on these and other gallery programs, please visit us on the web, in person or contact CVAG at 250338-6211. The gallery is located at 580 Duncan Ave. in downtown Courtenay across from the public library.

Folk singing season begins

A SOLO SHOW by James Kasper will be the onstage attraction Thursday at the Zocalo Café.

Rare show by Kasper James Kasper, Victoria singer-songwriter and longtime promoter of Island musicians, will perform a rare solo acoustic show this Thursday at the Zocalo Café and Gallery in Courtenay.

Kasper, who has been producing the Vancouver Island Music Awards since 2002 and is about to launch a brand new community record label, is gearing up for this showcase of his own “roots-noir” tunes.

Kasper has been a recording artist and

performer since 1995.

He grew up on the west coast of the Island in Ucluelet and has lived in Victoria for most of the past two decades.

Highlights of his music career include performing at the same concert as the legendary Ray Charles in 1998 (BCTV’s Variety Club Show of Hearts), collaborating with current and former Blue Rodeo members Bob Egan and Bob Wiseman, releasing four full-length albums, touring Canada on four occasions, releas-

ing an award-winning music video for his song The Gospel, and being named Hardest Working Person in Local Music at Monday Magazine’s 2008 M Awards.

Of Kasper’s music, exclaim! magazine says, “With the burning wail of his harmonica and his smoldering lyrics, Kasper artfully wrenches empathy from listeners. The noir side adds depth of character and individuality to his music, helping to distinguish him from the thousands of other singer-songwriters in the country roots genre.”

James Kasper plays solo this Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Zocalo Café. Admission is by donation.

CDs and T-shirts will be available. Preview Kasper’s music at jameskasper.com.

— Zocalo Café

The Gardeners Green Folk Music Club is kicking off a new season of events with a house concert this Saturday, beginning promptly at 7 p.m.

The performer is Graham Metcalfe, a collector and singer of traditional English folk songs. He hails from the village of Upper Poppleton, near York. He has been singing for 50 years, both on his own and as part of various combinations of wellknown singers on the English folk scene, and contributed to various CDs. For the past 30 years he has been an important part of the rich traditional music scene in Oxford, where he is known as “Oxford’s favourite Yorkshireman.”

Graham says of himself: “Born at an early age in a Yorkshire village, the only music to follow was rock ‘n roll.

However, it lost something in the dialect, so after trying this and that, I stumbled into folk music, which at first I treated like an old sock — at arm’s length — but it soon grew on me and it’s been downhill ever since.”

Graham possesses a rich, warm, mellow voice, singing folk songs as perhaps they were always meant to

Did You Know?

be — sung very well by an ordinary man in the way he wants to sing them. The style is true Yorkshire, and true Graham.

Perhaps best known in trios like Folly Bridge, Graham is an impressive singer in his own right. He is naturally relaxed and totally at ease with his chosen material, which he performs with real conviction and not a trace of complacency.

Phone 250-337-5337 if you’d like to reserve tickets. They’re $20, and include hot drinks and a bounteous dessert buffet. There will also be another popular charity raffle for families and children during the evening, with great prizes.

Graham and his wife Lucinde are keen to have a singaround/ song exchange after the concert, so any of you wishing to participate, or to just listen, are welcome to stay for that when the concert finishes.

AUTHOR MILES OLSON will unveil his book about living off the grid in the woods this Thursday at Rewind Coffee in Courtenay.

Writer lives off the land Local author Miles Olson has spent the better part of the past decade living on the outskirts of the Comox Valley, off the grid, in the woods, learning and practising earth skills for his subsistence.

In his first book, Unlearn, Rewild: Earthskills, ideas and inspiration for the future primitive, just released by New Society Publishers, he shares some of the most endangered and unique skills he has amassed in his time living close to the land.

He also delves into a deep philosophical exploration into the relationship between humans and wildness.

This Thursday, he will host an evening book launch event.

Come hear what led to the writing of this book along with other revelations of a 21st century forager-scavenger-hunter.

You can also enter a free raffle to win prizes handharvested/crafted by the author himself, and grab a copy of the book. The event will be at Rewind Coffee bar (formerly Freakin Coffeeshop) at 2456 Rosewall Cres. in Courtenay at 7 p.m.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Wednesday, September 26, 2012

CafĂŠ evolved and grew by listening to customers Atlas won magazine award as best cafĂŠ on Vancouver Island Mark Allan Record Staff Some people are carnivores. Others are vegetarians.

Count Atlas CafĂŠ coowner Sandra Viney as a selectetarian. “When you have that plethora of beautiful halibut, tuna ‌ how can you not sample?â€? rhetorically asks the former strict vegetarian as I and my lunch guest eagerly awaited our food on a recent sunny afternoon.

An excellent question, to which Scott and I had no answer at our table.

Viney and Trent McIntyre have operated the Atlas in downtown Courtenay since 1995. “I saw there was a need,â€? Viney says in her inimitable Aussie accent. “There wasn’t such a plethora of wonderful coffee shops and cafĂŠs as we do have now.â€?

The Atlas carved out such a niche in the local restaurant scene that they bought out a nextdoor neighbour in 2000 and expanded their square footage, adding a liquor licence and bar at the same time. They’ve also added a patio in the rear that is a pleasant escape on a warm day. “The landlord loved it because it cleaned up his backyard,� Viney laughs.

The Atlas menus have evolved as a result of listening to customers, says Viney, adding that the clientele changed, too.

More than a decade ago, women frequented the Atlas but not men — until fresh sheets appeared and so did men dining on lamb, steak and such.

Well, Scott and I were hungry men at the Atlas, so we dived right in.

I opened with a chicken Caesar salad.

Well, actually, I opened with a glass of delectable chardonnay, but the salad was right behind, and complemented the wine wonderfully.

THE ATLAS CAFÉ’S sundried tomato-breaded true cod with tzatziki sauce, basmati rice, spinach greens and pesto dressing (top) is a satisfying main course. Beef enchiladas with a typical Atlas “spinâ€? really hit the spot.

Scott began with a spinach salad, which he seemed to enjoy enormously.

At the urging of server Kristen Schultz, I opted for enchiladas as my main course. I don’t eat much beef these days but, after this beef practically melted in my mouth, I‘m wondering why I don’t sample it more often.

Chef Jon Frazier is a genius, I was reminded when I decided where I would make my opening foray into a mouth-watering presentation of enchiladas, Atlas style.

The different colours made it look like a piece of art and I hesitated because it looked so perfect. Hesitated for a long second or two, at most.

Although I was sorely tempted by the enticing red sauce, I began with a taste of the cream sauce oozing from under the nearest enchilada.

It was as creamy as I expected, but then a second — more pungent — wave of flavour reached my tongue, and then another.

Frazier had layered the flavours so skillfully

that the smoky chipotle never overwhelmed an otherwise delicate cream sauce, but complemented it.

Even the chardonnay held up.

I don’t remember much else, aside from Schultz’s friendly and helpful yet not tooattentive service, and the sensation of a totally satisfying meal.

Scott also appreciated his main course — sundried tomatobreaded true cod, tzatziki sauce, basmati rice, spinach greens and pesto dressing.

No doubt we shall return, and should really check out the Atlas sister establishment, the Avenue in Comox.

In case you’re wondering, Viney says the name of the Atlas derives from the international flair of the dishes, to which Viney says the cafe adds a “spin� to traditional presentation.

The Atlas CafÊ, recently named by BC Living magazine readers as the best cafÊ on Vancouver Island, is open Mondays to Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. They’re closed on most public holidays.

You can phone the cafĂŠ, located at 250 Sixth St. in downtown Courtenay, at 250-338-9838. Visit the website at atlascafe. ca.

They take reservations for parties of six or more. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

THE FRIENDLY FACE that Atlas patrons rarely see belongs to chef Jon Frazier.

Ovarian cancer exposed Ovarian cancer is a silent killer affecting one in 70 Canadian women.

It’s called “the disease that whispers” because the signs and symptoms can be vague and subtle.

Most women ignore the warning signs because they are general and quite common.

Ovarian cancer is usually diagnosed too late. With knowledge and awareness ovarian cancer is detectable earlier.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Curves on Comox Avenue is doing their part by hosting a Knowledge is Power presentation this Thursday at 7 p.m. A volunteer from Ovarian Cancer Canada will give the presentation.

The presentation will give insight to the disease and focus on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

It also covers diagnosis, screening and risk factors. This presentation is open to all.

Debt-elimination strategies Debt is the stealth bomb that erodes financial stability and even relationships.

Debt piles up a little bit at a time and one day you wake up to find that most of your money is going to servicing debt instead of funding an enjoyable life today and a comfortable retirement tomorrow.

To get control of your debt, you need to uncover the real reasons for your debt issues by identifying the behaviour that sunk you deep in debt and take the steps that will keep you from sinking even deeper.

The first two steps to debt-elimination are these: Stop helplessly watching your debt mount and get proac-

realizing the things that matter to you: saving for your kids’ education and your retirement; paying down your mortgage; and other important life goals.

• Apply your financial plan Your strategies could include: — Establishing an emergency reserve using investments held within a Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs); — Protecting your family with life, critical illness and disability insurance; — Funding your children’s education with Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) eligible investments; — Funding your retirement (and/or your partner’s retire-

These are general debt-reduction and money-saving strategies but your situation is unique to you and there will be others that can help relieve your debt burden and enhance your financial security.

So here’s one more strategy that will work for you: talk to your professional adviser, who has the expertise and perspective to develop the perfect plan for you.

THEY WERE OFF and paddling Saturday morning at Comox Lake at the Cumberland MOMAR.

Locals dominate Cumberland MOMAR The Atmosphere Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) series wrapped up the season in the Comox Valley on Saturday, Sept. 22. Although just over 20 per cent of the participants came from the Comox Valley, close to 40 per cent of racers to make the podium were locals.

Courtenay’s Sarah Seads managed to win her ninth overall title in the solo female racer category with a time of 5:42:55. Seads also won the random draw for an entry in the BC Bike Race. “It was crazy fun and I am so stoked on winning the BC Bike Race prize,” Seads said.

“I have done quite a few MOMARs and this was, hands down, my favourite Cumberland race to date,” says Seads. “I loved all of the self-navigation. Only a very small portion of this year’s course was flagged and I think that makes for a great race as it requires brains not just brawn.”

Seads also loved the trekking section which required self-navigation and route choices.

“This is my favourite trekking format as it allows you to collect the checkpoints (CPs) in any order you like and there are hundreds of racers heading in all sorts of different directions!” says Seads. “It was great to see a CP in the middle of absolutely nowhere – quite far off trail which meant a mandatory bush whack using a compass bearing.”

Seads called the mountain biking portion “absolutely perfect.”

“They managed to combine some of the best XC trails of Cumberland into one epic, fun and flowy bike section from top to bottom,” states Seads. “It was a great

Courtenay’s Chris Wilson, with partner Cory Bainbridge of Campbell River, was the overall winner for the 30km Sport Course, crossing the finish line at 4:01:51. Shauna Connaughton and Louis Lam, also from Courtenay, came in second with a time of 4:06:56, followed by Tod Gilbert and Kate Parsons of Nanaimo (4:14:42).

The MOMAR required individuals and teams to mountain bike, kayak, trail run, trek and orienteer through a series of checkpoints, over 30km or 50km of rugged terrain. A mystery challenge – a 50m swim out to checkpoint 14 – was added to this year’s race.

Recipients included Comox Valley Minor Hockey ($100,000), Mt. Washington Ski Club ($21,000), Comox Valley Baseball Association ($25,000), Comox Valley Volleyball Club ($9,600), Comox Valley Lacrosse Association ($7,600) and North Island Field Lacrosse Association ($2,000).

“Community organizations such as these make the Comox Valley the wonderful place it is to live,” said Comox Valley MLA Don McRae in a press release announcing the grants. “I’m pleased our government continues its support for the many deserving local organizations.”

CVMHA president Angie Williams notes the maximum Community Gaming Grant is $100,000 and says this is the third year the local group has received the maximum.

“As always we have used this money to continue to be one of Vancouver Island’s least expensive associations where children can play hockey. By keeping registration low we hope to continue to be one of the largest associations, second only to Nanaimo.”

Across British Columbia, more than 300 recipients will share over $7.3 million in the latest round of grants from provincial gaming revenue.

Community Gaming Grants help local groups provide important services for British Columbia families.

The grants allow nonprofit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues to support direct delivery of a program that benefits the broader community.

Towhees nipped by Wolves Glacier Kings win two Earle Couper

Record Staff The Vanier Towhees didn’t exactly light up their half of the scoreboard Friday night, but their coaches were still able to notice some bright spots.

The Towhees hosted the Timberline Wolves of Campbell River for their B.C. High School Football Tier 2 AA Varsity season opener under the lights at Bill Moore Memorial Park on Sept. 21 and dropped a 20-6 decision.

“Our players fought a good battle but could not seem to counter Wolves’ running back Hunter McKay (#33), who continually ran the sweep and up the middle,” said Vanier personnel coordinator Pat Pidsosny.

“However, the game was not without bright spots,” Pidsosny noted.

“Cody Fletcher (#32) caught five passes for 76 yards and also rushed for another 38 yards. Quarteback Liam Pidsosny (#4) had 38 yards total rushing and carried the ball in for our single touchdown, which we were unable to convert.

“Our defensive stars would have to be Mike Roller (#34) with six tackles. He also carried the ball on two attempts for nine yards despite being down with the flu,” Pidsosny noted. “Jimmy Brazier (#28) had seven tackles on defence and carried the ball twice for 10 yards.

“Clayton Guille (#66) was an absolute pitbull as a linebacker for eight tackles and one sack. Special teams’ highlights were notable with kickoff returns handled by Wesley Yates (#25) for

Record Staff

The Comox Valley Glacier Kings posted two big Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League wins on the weekend.

Friday night in Campbell River, the Yetis scored with 28 seconds left in regulation to beat the Storm 3-2. On Saturday night they delighted their hometown fans by knocking off the Victoria Cougars in a shootout.

The Icemen started the season 0-3-1 but were close in every outing. Friday’s first win of the season got the squad off the schneid, while on Saturday they handed the defending champion Cougars their first loss of the season when Wade Bartlett scored the only goal of the shootout

in the fifth round.

Watch for details of these games in Friday’s Record sports.

Linda’s first job was Cloverdale Post Office, then onto a secretarial position for School District 28 in Quesnel, B.C. City Hall came calling which she eagerly answered for many years. Linda’s first love was flowers, so she bought Naicam Flowers of Quesnel, which she owned and operated until she retired and moved to the island. In her leisure time Linda loved to paint and look after her flowers.

Linda was always helping others through hospice and was a very caring and loving spiritual person who loved to laugh.

If friends so wish, donations in Linda’s memory made to any Hospice Society would be appreciated.

The family would like to extend gratitude to Alfred’s closest friends and to the staff of Glacier View Lodge for showing friendship to and taking care of Alfred for the past years, and particularly for the care and concern demonstrated in the past weeks and months‌ sincere thanks to each of you!

ICBC - approved Program â&#x20AC;˘ Easy Payment Options

The ďŹ rst question I ask about toppers is â&#x20AC;&#x153;what do you want it to do, and does your mattress sag?â&#x20AC;? If your mattress is sagging forget it, anything you put on top of it will probably make it worse. If the mattress is just too hard then there are lots of topper options, memory foam is only one of them and has a feel that is much different than other toppers, it feels much like sleeping on warm bread dough. With any topper make sure that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made in North America, and more importantly that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been crushed into a box or rolled up too tight.

That destroys the foam cells.

Creative Insight offers unique therapy Accounting firm opens downtown Counsellor and creative arts therapist Kazimea Sokil has extended the office hours for Creative Insight Counselling in Courtenay.

Her cozy office at the train station offers daytime and evening appointments throughout the week. She is also opening a parttime practice in Campbell River, where she shares office space with Lisa Marie Gruger at the Georgia Quay complex.

Sokil has been offering general counselling for five years. She is a B.C. Registered Clinical Counsellor, and works for several Employee & Family Assistance Plans. Her specialties include life transitions and selfdirected change, grief and loss, separation and divorce, anxiety, parenting issues, disability issues, and dealing with difficult people.

Creative Insight Counselling invites youth and adults to explore their strengths and options, and to nurture their capacity for change, curiosity and compassion.

“My goal is to support your ability to make choices that honour yourself,” Sokil said.

However, Creative Insight offers a service beyond talk therapy.

It uses the power of image and creative process to help identify options, to express feelings fully, and to explore and practise new ways of being. In particular, children, youth and people with disabilities gain from opportunities for nonverbal communication this type of therapy provides. Others who naturally express themselves through image, music or movement also benefit.

“Everyone has a different approach to creativity,” says Kazimea.

You can bring music, dreams, stories, or images as starting points for sessions. We can use role-play, story-telling, journalling, music or artwork to look at issues as they come up.

“You bring yourself, your creative interests, your stories and metaphors. My role is to help find a way you can use all these to explore and express yourself, find insight and make desired changes.”

Visit www.creativeinsightcounselling.ca or contact Sokil at kazimeasokil@gmail. com or 250-650-3738.

The Comox Valley is home to a new accounting firm, Sharon Hadden CGA. If the name sounds familiar, it should.

Hadden is the prior co-owner and manager of Fanny Bay Oysters, a company that grew to one of the largest employers in the Valley during her 20-plus years of ownership.

Hadden’s business experience has been augmented by both an MBA degree and CGA designation and she is now accepting clients at her new office location in Courtenay.

“I’m excited about this new business venture. As a CGA with years of experience managing a business I understand the challenges you face firsthand. Let’s work together as a team to grow your business with sound accounting practices and tax planning,” says Hadden.

Sharon Hadden CGA can assist businesses with accounting services, personal and corporate tax filing, bookkeeping and business growth consulting services.

CGA is located at 200 457 Cliffe Ave. in Courtenay, across from the Sid Williams Theatre.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD COMOX VALLEY’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER Publisher: Joanna Ross Editor: Mark Allan Ph: 250-338-5811 / Fax: 250-338-5568 / Classified: 250-310-3535 A division of Black Press Ltd. 765 McPhee Avenue, Courtenay, B.C. 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

Just learn to deal with it We sense some local displeasure that the B.C. government bought land to be part of a treaty settlement with the K’ómoks people.

In a legal process, Victoria outbid Sage Hills Developments Ltd. for a 2,083-acre property.

Sage Hills, a subsidiary of Vancouver Islandbased IAC-Independent Academies Canada Inc., planned to create a sustainable community between Royston and Cumberland. It would have included a sports academy, private university and a K-to-12 school.

Company announcements about the ambitious project dried up recently, perhaps due to a faltering global economy.

Sage Hills is not disputing the B.C. Supreme Court decision about the land, and phone numbers for company officials are out of service. This implies the development was dead on its feet, so there should be no complaints about government interference.

The successful bid by the B.C. government, with funding from Ottawa, was about $150,000 above the list price. That’s not much on a $4.9-million sale and is equivalent to what any of us might do if we were in a bidding war over a home we really wanted.

Governments became interested due to a shortage of Crown land in the Comox Valley that can be used in a treaty settlement.

The Sage Hills property is adjacent to land already offered to the band, which can’t do much with small plots scattered all over the region. A smaller plot next to 2,083 acres is another story.

Is anybody upset about interference from the feds and their tax-filled pockets helping the provincial Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation? You shouldn’t be.

In the B.C. Treaty Commission process, the Province typically supplies land in treaty deals, while the Canadian government contributes money.

While unorthodox, this latest transaction follows that pattern.

Upset that native bands are getting land and cash? You’re just going to have to deal with that. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Record Question of the Week This week: Eighty-five per cent of respondents so far say they are glad the City of Courtenay is pausing its lawsuit against Maple Pool Campsite. What’s your position about this controversial issue? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord. com and vote in the Poll on the mainpage.

The time has again come for dedicated volunteers to cycle the length of Vancouver Island. Let’s let Tour de Rock riders know how much we appreciate them.

Beset by infighting and defections, the provincial Conservatives have shattered their credibility and lost any real hope of being a key player in the B.C. election.

Waste decision is just garbage Dear editor, I can only assume that the members of the Comox Strathcona Waste Management board have never heard of climate change, or if they have, they do not believe it is caused by fossil fuel emissions.

Otherwise, how could they possibly have approved a plan to truck all the solid waste from Campbell River down to the Comox Valley for disposal?

The Arctic ice is melting, coastal cities are making plans to protect their shorelines from rising waters, drought is causing major crop losses around the world, and other effects of global climate change are becoming more obvious every day.

Yet in spite of all this, the waste management board has made a decision that is going to seriously increase fossil fuel use by garbage trucks.

The board says they have a plan to reduce solid waste by 70 per cent, and that their goal is

❝

What kind of democracy do we have when a community can just be told that it is going to become a regional disposal site for solid waste, and the people who live there have no say in the matter?

❞ Ellen Rainwalker

zero waste, and yet they won’t even let people remove perfectly usable objects from the landfill.

So I find it hard to believe that they are serious about that.

And they say they will have a food composting plan in the near future. Well, that’s ridiculous, too, because with the proper education, composting can easily be done right at home. Our dinner scraps don’t need to be hauled around in yet more fossil fuel-

powered vehicles to centralized composting facilities.

This is aside from the fact that residents of Cumberland, the community to which the solid waste is going to be delivered, are strongly opposed to this plan.

Cumberland already receives all the solid waste from the Comox Valley, and its roads are showing the effects of this traffic.

The trucks travel right through a residential area to get to the landfill, so now the residents will be impacted even more by noise and pollution.

What kind of democracy do we have when a community can just be told that it is going to become a regional disposal site for solid waste, and the people who live there have no say in the matter?

Sometimes I don’t have much hope for the human race when members of my species can make decisions like this one.

Ellen Rainwalker, Cumberland

Award should go to all at hospital Dear editor, The Health Employers Association (which includes VIHA), gave an award to the Transition Ward Team at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Forget the award and give these folks a bonus for the incredible work they do. But don’t forget the cost paid by the rest of the hospital for the development of the transition ward.

Too few beds and too few staff make working conditions extremely difficult. Give these folks an award and a bonus too or better yet open up the desperately needed long-term care beds.

Eight thousand people in the Valley signed a petition objecting to the closure of 24 beds, the firing of over 30 nurses and the creation of the transition ward.

This move (according to VIHA), was designed to cover the

$1-million shortfall the hospital had incurred due to inadequate funding. It was all about money, not about the needs of the community.

And now, as more aging, ill seniors need beds the transition ward is invading even more acute-care beds.

The inadequate funding continues and yet we are asked to

believe that the new hospital will have more beds.

Is the funding going to dramatically increase?

The award should read “for performance above and beyond the call of duty under extremely difficult circumstances” and it should be given to all hospital staff.

Ann Zanbilowicz, Comox Valley

City of Courtenay should back off Maple Pool action Dear editor, I completely agree with Vince Dupuis’ letter to the editor in your Sept. 19 paper, regarding Maple Pool.

Furthermore, the City of Courtenay should cease all legal

action against Maple Pool until they get off their butts and build a homeless shelter so that if, in the end, Maple Pool is shut down, the residents have somewhere to go that they can afford.

E.G. Compton, Courtenay

OPINION

Dear editor, Regarding Chum and Champ, the Manseaus’ two Newfoundland dogs: The only thing I know about this case is what I am reading in the newspaper, and what I am reading I find very disturbing.

I find it no less than absolutely appalling what the SPCA, CVRD and the complaining neighbour are doing to these dogs and their owners. There are so many things wrong with this situation.

Are the investigating employees in the regional district bylaw department qualified to investigate a matter such as this?

Who on earth decided that the Manseaus were not allowed to see the dogs? This is insane!

Stacey Gastis, the veterinarian who testified, could not find anything that he would describe as puncture wounds on the terrier, and he felt that the wounds

CHUM AND CHAMP have many defenders. were more typical of an industrial accident.

Should that not have got the case thrown out of court by itself?

Behavioural expert Gary Gibson supported the dogs as well. A video was even shown of Mr. Gibson testing the dogs. Should this not have got the case thrown out?

Jack Russells are aggressive little dogs, as some breeds can be.

Could it be possible that this Jack Russell initiated a confrontation with the two Newfoundland dogs and that Chum and

Champ were simply defending their territory as dogs do?

However without puncture marks on the terrier, they couldn’t possibly have put up too much of a defence.

My husband and I lived in Black Creek, next door to a single retired woman who owned a beautiful Hungarian Kuvasz.

The dog barked, she was a dog. She did not bark excessively.

Her owner put a bark collar on her because someone had complained.

A five-foot-high fence enclosed most of the yard so she had lots of room. She was well-behaved, she was kept in at night. But because of neighbour complaints, the SPCA seized the dog. The owner was asked to find the dog another home, but could not find one, so the SPCA killed the dog.

The SPCA even spoke with my husband at one point, as we were the closest neighbours. He told them the dog was wonderful and we had absolutely no problems or concerns. That didn’t seem to matter.

I am disgusted with the SPCA, the CVRD and petty neighbours who stand by doing nothing when two beautiful dogs are on death row. If people cannot get along with neighbour’s dogs, maybe they should move into town and leave the rural areas for animal lovers.

C. Huber, Black Creek

Opposition to pipeline project Dear editor, The Comox Valley Environmental Council is a 20-year-old notfor-profit society that acts as an umbrella organization for 18 local environmental organizations and local municipal and regional representatives in the North and Central Vancouver Island ridings.

This letter is to express the council’s opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline project.

We are obligated to take this position because of the insufficient scientific knowledge for evaluating or

designing a safe diluted bitumen pipeline transport and monitoring system for protecting the environment and human health.

Neither the oil industry nor the regulatory agencies have any scientific studies of how diluted bitumen behaves in pressurized pipelines. Also, historical performance data from existing systems carrying this product is not yet available.

Likewise, scientific evidence for reliable monitoring systems does not yet exist. Current state-of-the-art systems are designed

based on the characteristics of traditional crude oil.

What has been established is that the more viscous diluted bitumen causes pressure changes that create gas bubbles, triggering false alarms. As a result, a timely response to a real spill is jeopardized.

Based on figures from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and the National Energy Board, Canada’s oil pipeline capacity is far ahead of expected demand. Thus, the need for the Northern

Hazard lurks for children Dear editor, Attention, all parents and grandparents of the children who participate in or watch the wonderful youth soccer games at Valley View Park on Saturday mornings: There is a hazard nearby that you should know about.

At the northeast corner of the park, where it adjoins the skateboard park, there is an easily climbed embankment about 12 feet high. At the top of this embankment, there is a concrete runway, part of the skateboard facility.

About 20 to 25 feet in from the top of the embankment, parts of the runway drop straight down about 10 feet to the concrete floor of the bowl, or pit. There is no fence or railing.

If you are not already aware of

this hazard, then please go there next time you are at the park.

Stand right beside the pit and ask yourself if you would want your children or grandchildren to be standing there unattended.

If your answer is no, then please call the city at 250-334-4441 and ask them to extend the existing fence on the south side over to the fence on Lerwick Road and on the west side to the end of the embankment.

If a child falls into that pit and it is determined that the child got there by simply climbing up the embankment, then a fence will be erected. So why not erect the fence now to help prevent a tragic accident? The cost involved is well worthwhile.

Dick Tatton, Courtenay

Gateway Project is not supported.

Another scientific unknown is what happens to the diluted bitumen when spilled.

Both the short-term and long-term environmental effects of a spill have not been adequately studied or documented. Data on just the human health effects are still being collected from the 2010 Enbridge Michigan spill.

Given the questionable need for more pipeline capacity and the potential danger to the environment because of the lack of scientific knowledge, the Comox Valley Environmental Council encourages the Canadian and British Columbia governments to not approve the Northern Gateway Pipeline.

Larry Peterson, Comox Valley Editor’s note: Larry Peterson is the chair of the Comox Valley Environmental Council.

Students urged to swap sociology for socket set VICTORIA — Premier Christy Clark’s latest employment announcement set the tone for one of the big issues in the 2013 election.

Flanked by aircraft technician students at BCIT in Burnaby, Clark announced a $75-million program to upgrade aging trade and technical school facilities and hire instructors. And she did it with some pointed criticism of the career path chosen by many of today’s high school students.

Clark introduced a student electrician, the first woman to win the senior technology education award at her high school, who then went on to get a bachelor’s degree in English and sociology. No job, so she went to BCIT. Her message was clear.

The government’s pre-election budget is going to shift priorities to the huge number of skilled trades jobs that are already going begging in the North.

More students will get started in high school, instead of being subsidized to wander around and find themselves with an unfocused university degree that still leaves them in need of practical skills.

Shop upgrades were announced for trades

FLETCHER training in Prince George, Kelowna and Greater Victoria. There will be new student financial aid, but it will be tied to skill programs the economy needs now.

And with the government’s financial situation, you can bet that sociology, women’s studies and the rest of the dead-end programs dear to the hearts of last year’s Occupy campers will feel the pinch.

The B.C. Liberal skills training push was partly inspired by last year’s “inequality” protest, after Dawson Creek Mayor Mike Bernier waded into the Occupy Vancouver squat to hand out business cards. They need cooks and labourers as well as pipefitters up there these days, and that’s before the B.C. gas patch goes into a huge expansion for Asian exports.

A version of Kevin Falcon’s “welfare air” idea to move unemployed recipients north was included in last week’s announcement

by Clark and her jobs

czar, Pat Bell.

Called Job Match, it’s a $2.9-million pilot program in the Peace region. It will deliver basic education and work boots for people in that region before anyone will be flown up from Nanaimo or Nelson.

Cruising along at nearly 50 per cent in the polls, the NDP have also put a heavy emphasis on post-secondary.

But they’re still playing to the urban Occupy crowd, with a promise of a tax on banks to fund student

grants. Instead of providing loan relief after successful completion, they’re going to hand out money at the front end, just like they did in my student days.

My experience as a student, a job seeker and a parent is that free money encourages aimless study, and the selection of courses that are appealing rather

than safe investments.

We already have far too much of that, and I think most students today would be better off with a bigger debt and a well-paying job.

As the new trades plan was being rolled out (and mostly ignored by the Vancouver media), former finance minister Colin Hansen announced he’s retiring.

It was Hansen who started the push for skills training back in 2008, emphasizing that there will be a million new jobs open by 2019, 600,000 of them due to

retiring baby boomers.

Hansen made a sales trip to snowy Toronto to launch advertising to lure people to B.C. That effort is being revised with a series of interprovincial and international trips, because even if all 650,000 high school students graduate and go to work in B.C. from now to 2019, it won’t be enough to fill all the jobs on the horizon.
