2013 Comox Air Show confirmed CF-18s, Snowbirds will headline other acts, including Super Dave Matheson

After an eight-year hiatus, the Comox Air Show is returning Aug. 17.

The 2013 Comox Air Show celebrates 70 years of Canadian Air Force history in the Comox Valley and will feature current and former Canadian military aircraft, in addition to several civilian performers.

Officially known as the Comox Armed Forces Day and Air Show, the event will be 2013’s largest single attraction in the Comox Valley. The most recent air show in Comox was 2005, when over 25,000 people attended.

Given the pent-up demand for an air show, organizers expect an even larger attendance this year.

“This air show is our way of giving back to the people of the Comox Valley for all the support they provide to our members and our military families throughout the year,” said 19 Wing commander Col. Jim Benninger. “While this will be a fantastic show, we hope to educate people about what their Armed Forces do on a daily basis as well.”

This year’s lineup will be headlined by the CF-18 Demonstration Team and the Canadian Armed Forces Snowbirds Air Demonstration Squadron.

Additional performers and aircraft will be posted routinely on the Comox Air Show web and Facebook pages.

“In 1943, the Royal Air Force (U.K.) transferred control of a

Harvards of Yellow Thunder and many more.

In addition to air demonstrations, there will also be displays from the Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Navy that will feature a variety of equipment and vehicles and give people an opportunity to interact with members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Gates will open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. Visitors are highly encouraged to use public transit, cycling and carpooling to get to the air show.

Although an improved parking plan featuring multiple exit routes is being introduced this year, organizers are encouraging all visitors to arrive early in the day to avoid congestion.

Specific handicap parking and a bike lockup area will be easily accessible near the museum’s Heritage Air Park on Military Row. There will be several activities and performances after the flying displays conclude to entertain visitors and to encourage them to wait for traffic congestion to subside.

Tickets will go on sale shortly, including the opportunity to purchase box seating to get up close to the frontline action. As this is a Department of National Defence facility, enhanced security measures will be in place and random checks of vehicles and bags should be expected.

On the day of the air show, commercial and passenger flights at the Comox Valley Airport will continue. To account for potential traffic delays, passengers travelling on Aug. 17 should allow themselves at least an additional 30 minutes driving time to arrive at the airport in time for their flight.

Market moving downtown Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The Comox Valley Farmers’ Market is moving its mid-week market from Comox Bay Farm to a downtown site on England Avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets.

It will run Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon in July and August.

The Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association has encouraged the move.

“I think it will be fun,” CVFM general manager Vickey Brown said. “The musicians are looking forward to it and the vendors are excited about it. I think it’s a really good match for us to be in the downtown core.”

Hours could expand next year depending on the wishes of customers.

Brown is working out road closure details with the City, which she said is supportive. The application will go before council shortly.

The market is in its 21st year in the Valley. It started with 10 farmers at the Exhibition Grounds selling from the back of pickups.

It has grown to almost 100 members and upwards of 60 vendors on Saturdays. Wednesday markets consist of about 30 vendors.

The outdoor market runs from April to October. Come winter, it moves indoor at the Native Sons Hall.

Brown figures the market attracts a few thousand visitors each week — 4,000 on a sunny day.

Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets between Cliffe and Fitzgerald avenues will temporarily close to traffic July 28 from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the Comox Valley Classic Cruisers Annual Graffiti Bash Car Show, as approved last Monday by Courtenay council.

Hundreds of cars are expected at the 27th annual event.

Coun. Manno Theos praised the event for attracting tourists, some from south of the border, who generate revenue and draw attention to the downtown core.

Mayor Larry Jangula suggests a greater number of businesses consider opening their doors on the day of the event, especially ladies clothing stores.

A PARENT HEARS about an excited student’s I Can project.

PHOTO BY RENEE ANDOR

I Can projects extremely diversified Renee Andor Record Staff

Bullying. Ocean pollution. Racism. Obesity. Homelessness.

These are just a few of the many, many topics Comox Valley students chose for their I Can projects — which are designed to empower students through self-directed community service projects.

Students from École Puntledge Park, Huband and Aspen Park elementary schools joined students at Queneesh Elementary School for the second annual I Can showcase Friday.

Queneesh’s gym was packed with project displays as students explained what they accomplished to touring school officials, parents and community members.

Comox Valley School District superintendent Sherry Elwood attended and said the community service aspect of the I Can projects is amazing but the skills students learn are even more exciting.

“What excites us most about the I Can project is how self-directed the curriculum is,” said Elwood. “As an educator, when I look at this,

what moves me most is the fact that students are directing their own learning, they’re choosing their own pathways, they’re choosing their own topics, they’re choosing how to present their materials, they’re reflective about their learning…”

Huband vice-principal Catherine Manson — who is one of the educators involved in the I Can initiative from the beginning — noted students were urged to think locally when choosing a project to take on.

“This year what we said is it has to have a local impact of some kind,” she said.

“I think what we all did was say, ‘OK you need to feel about something, what concerns you?’ The next piece was, ‘You need to learn about it,’ so there’s a huge research component.

“We choose how we’re going to learn and what we’re going to learn but we have to learn, so they had to show me that they’d done that.

“And then they had to do something that would help that cause so that’s their action piece.”

Grade 7 Huband student Mia Wilkinson teamed up with classmates Sarah Rebitt and Tay-

lor Finneron to learn about the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS). The girls completed a Walk for Wildlife consisting of six laps around Courtenay Airpark, and raised $600 for MARS through the initiative.

“It was nice to support,” said Wilkinson. “It was a very big accomplishment to raise $600 in just a week and all three of us, I know that we’re very proud of what we did…especially knowing that we did it for a good cause and it’s all going to the wildlife, helping the wildlife in the Valley.”

The group also wrote a short book called Don’t Fall out of the Nest, which they were selling for $10 each with proceeds going to MARS. Three groups raised money for the Comox Bay Care Society’s Care-A-Van, which provides health, dental and optometry services to homeless people in the Comox Valley.

Care-A-Van co-ordinator Helen Boyd gave students tours of the van outside Queneesh and noted students raised a total of $923 for the society. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Meetup set for Transition Join Transition Town Comox Valley for a session on charting a course for the future of the local transition movement on May 29 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Joe’s Garage in downtown Courtenay.

The meetup will be highly interactive and will provide a point of reflection on where the movement has been locally, and where it has the potential to go.

“It’s time to get strategic in how we work with others who are working for a more socially just, sustainable future,” says Elaine Codling, steering committee member of TTCV. “There is such a richness of professional and committed activism in the Valley. We know there is plenty of opportunity for collaborating on mutual goals and activities.”

Transition Towns are guided by the grandiose mission of preparing communities for the unprecedented challenges ahead of a world of increasing energy costs, environmental degradation, including climate change, and global economic instability.

While the movement is global with hundreds of ‘towns’ or initiatives cropping up in nations all over the world, the philosophy and approach to a successful transition is firmly rooted in the realities of a given place.

Relocalization of economy, community life and public decisionmaking are therefore key to the movement, all of which depend on the ideas and participation of local residents. The movement contains guidelines to approaching community (un)sustainability issues comprehensively. These guidelines

WE CLEAN

are being implemented and tested around the world.

“Over the past two years TTCV has provided monthly meetups for the public to attend, learn and discuss how transition concepts can be applied locally,” says Nancy Hofer, another steering committee member.

“Our first year focused on visioning and ‘data collection’ from the community.

Our second year highlighted local talents in transition areas such as food, economy, housing and emergency preparedness. Now is the time to take what we’ve learned and use it to provide some strategic direction not only for TTCV, but the whole Valley.”

The meeting will provide a recap on the data that has been collected and an update on practical projects that have emerged including opportunities for feedback on the development of a Valley-wide Timebank.

The majority of the meeting, however, will be aimed at a ‘townhall’ style dialogue on the future goals and deliverables for the group, including how to work more with similarly minded groups.

For more information on TTCV, visit www.transitiontowncv. org or call 250-8989045. A $3 donation is suggested to cover the cost of the venue. Bring mugs for tea and coffee.

BESIDES EARNING THE Comox Valley Naturalists Society Lifetime Achievement Award, Dulcie Hamilton got to cut the cake.

$1,100 Rebate* PLUS UP TO A $100 PureAir add-on*

Lifetime award earned A long-standing member and past president of the Comox Valley Naturalists Society received the prestigious Society’s Lifetime Achievement Award on May 19 at the Filberg Centre.

Dulcie Hamilton is the fourth member to receive this award. It was previously awarded to Dr. Lunam and his wife Betty Lunam, and to Norma Morton, who also received the Queen`s Jubilee medal earlier this year.

Hamilton was given this award for her 45 years of leadership in Comox Valley Nature.

As Norma Morton pointed out in her nomination letter for this award, Hamilton played a key role in protecting Seal Bay Park from development.

“Dulcie supervised for many years, the hiring of workers and volunteers for the task of creating Seal Bay trails and amenities, once naturalists secured it for preservation…

She was untiring and dauntless in her pursuit of this challenge, making it the beautiful area it is today for so many residents.”

In bestowing this award Comox Valley Nature takes great pride in honouring the conservation ethics of founding residents and providing a sense of continuity with future generations. The stewardship and conservation values shown by Hamilton over the past five decades highlight the reality that good stewardship is a continuous and constant re-dedication.

Lake Trail digging deep into local history Neighbourhood heritage project starts on Thursday

Ever wondered about who the people were behind the alphabetical street names in the Lake Trail area?

There are fascinating stories to be explored as part of place-making in the area.

Lake Trail Neighbourhood Connections invites you to the next Know Your Neighbourhood presentation on Local Heritage with Lawrence Burns, chair of the City of Courtenay Heritage Commis-

sion, on May 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the library at Lake Trail School.

Burns will speak about the value of preserving our local heritage and its contribution to neighbourhood character and liveability.

This presentation also kicks off of a neighbourhood heritage project to bring local seniors and students together to explore the area’s history and share stories and skills between mentors and students. Lake Trail Neighbourhood Connections has received a $24,500 grant from the federal New Horizons for Seniors program that seeks to engage

seniors in the community as mentors, promote volunteerism and support social participation.

A team of heritage mentors will guide the project. Beginning in September, students will use our community’s history and the knowledge and skills of community members as the basis for learning research, writing and presentation skills.

Activities will include collection of oral history, photographs and documentation relating to the history of the area; hands-on heritagebased workshops for students and the community in pioneer

crafts such as quilting, spinning and knitting, food production and preserving, basketmaking and wood working.

Documentation will include Foxfire-style pamphlets and videos, posters, blogs and websites, photomontages and displays at the school. Students will share their computer and social media fluency with community members.

Community volunteers are needed to play a significant role in guiding the project.

Do you have a story or skill to share? Would you like to learn more about our history, how to do research or make presentations? Do you enjoy the opportunity to meet neighbours and support our youth?

Anyone interested in participating in the project is invited to attend the presenta-

Dr. Leo C. Johnson is pleased to announce that Dr. Frank Lo joined the dental office team.

Spring into fashion show George Gershwin wrote “Summertime and the livin’ is easy.”

This popular tune showcases the fashions that will be modelled at the Evergreen Club’s Spring Fashion Show and Luncheon.

Mark your calendar for May 29.

The doors open at 11:30 a.m. and will follow with a scrumptious lunch served at noon.

The Evergreen Club catering group will present this delightful sit-down lunch. The fashions of the Comox clothing store Roxanne will be showcased at 1 p.m.

We are seeing more vivid jewel tones this spring, with beautiful periwinkle blues, sea mist greens and sunburst corals. You’ll also see the

more usual summer favourites like pinks, yellows, blues and mauves.

Dresses seem to be making an appearance, once again. What a feminine treat!

There will also be a chance to win draws for some very nice door prizes.

Come and get “up” on what is new in the fashion world for spring 2013.

Why not show Mom your love all month long, not just on May 12?

The fashion show and luncheon takes place in the conference hall at the Florence Filberg Centre in Courtenay. Tickets are available at the Courtenay Recreation Filberg Centre office.

Great sense of community at The Views Renee Andor Record Staff Each month, the Comox Valley Record is featuring articles about the history of St. Joseph’s General Hospital, which celebrates its centennial this year.

The Views has been a part of St. Joseph’s General Hospital for over 30 years and has seen many changes in that time.

Nestled on the top of the hill below the hospital, the Views was first known as the St. Joseph’s extended-care unit when built in 1982.

Fifty beds were added on in 1993, bumping the total number of beds to 125, all of which are publicly funded.

Now a complex-care facility instead of an extendedcare facility, the Views has two units — Eagleview Manor (75 beds) and Oceanview Manor (50 beds) — both of which are named for the Views’ view overlooking the Strait of Georgia, Beaufort Mountains and nearby nesting eagles.

Rick Sawatzky, a registered nurse at the facility since the early ‘90s, says a big change over the years has been the increase in activities for residents, something he says is very good.

“What I say about nursing is I just need to help people be healthy enough and get them prepared for their real day, and that’s the activities that they do,” he says, noting the Snoezelen, which offers quiet stimulation for residents with advanced dementia, is one example of an activity the Views picked up over the years. “It’s actu-

ally a great thing for people who have difficulty relating to this world any longer, with dementias, severe dementias.

“That was cutting edge (when implemented) — in all of the country it was cutting edge.”

Brenda Phillips, activity director at the Views, notes the addition of the Physical Activation Recreation Centre (PARC) has also been welcomed by everyone at the facility.

“That’s been an amazing addition to us to be able to run programs there and that was all (built) by donations from the community,” she says.

“It’s been wonderful having that space,” she continues as she points to a balance class happening in the PARC. “It’s used for a lot of fitness classes, we have crib tournaments we’ve held in there, we have meetings, Catholic mass is now using this space…”

Dancing, music, swimming excursions and gardening are a few of the other many activities listed on the Views’ activity guide.

Though the Views continues to offer new activities, it has also offered one in particular since the facility’s doors opened — the Pioneer Olympics.

Residents compete in various games against teams from other facilities, like Glacier View Lodge and the Comox Valley Seniors Village. The Views’ team is called St. Joseph’s Eagles, and the games include floor curling, horseshoes and basketball toss.

Phillips has also seen an increase in volunteers

FIFTY NEW BEDS were added to the Views in 1993. Bottom left, Bunny the dog, her caretaker Julie Stamm, left, and Brenda Phillips are part of the team at the Views. Longtime Views resident Wilma McKenzie enjoys competing in the Pioneer Olympics each year.

from the community, including more youth and retired professionals like nurses or people with extensive computer knowledge.

“It’s not just the coffee and tea service anymore and helping with bingo — we’re trying to incorporate all of those (volunteers’) skills and abilities to the best benefit for us, so we’ve got the best of the volunteer, what they’re bringing to us, which is great,” she says, noting

an example of someone with computer knowledge helping residents use the facility computers.

Bunny the dog is a volunteer of sorts. She is a therapy dog who visits residents at the Views five days per week with her caretaker Julie Stamm, who works at the facility as an activity aid.

Residents “go for walks with her, she comes on rides with us, she just hangs

out with people,” explains Stamm. “We go from room to room and visit with residents that can’t be out in the common areas.”

Resident Wilma McKenzie has been in Eagleview Manor since 1997, and was born at St. Joseph’s in 1930.

She says there have been many changes in routines, staff and activities over the years, but something that’s been there all along is the Views’ sense of community.

“There’s a great sense of community. We all feel like we’re in one big family,” she says. “It is a great home for me; I love it here. I really enjoy it because I have my own television, my own telephone, an ocean view…

I look out on the water, and the ladies in my room are all wonderful, they’re all helpful and kind and they worry about me,” she says with a laugh.

Elevating arts blurring lines Second annual festival makes Mecca of city’s downtown Meaghan Cursons Special to the Record

The countdown is on for the second annual Elevate The Arts Festival.

Culture lovers of all kinds should mark the dates and plan to spend time in the heart of Courtenay for five days of music, dance, art, media, puppets, fire, verse, circus, choirs, workshops, crafts, kids stuff, fiddles and so much more.

From June 4 to 8, downtown Courtenay becomes the cultural mecca it is destined to be and everyone is invited to be part of the magic.

Elevate is all about breaking barriers between culture creators and culture consumers. It’s about encouraging thinking beyond our traditional ideas of audience and artists and instead bringing creators and culture lovers together for exchange, celebration and exciting discoveries.

One of the best aspects of Elevate is the use of the alleys of downtown Courtenay.

Organizers are putting their energy into programming unusual spaces and places, the unexpected nooks and crannies that we miss in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Local restaurants, pubs, galleries, storefronts and halls round out the venue list resulting in over 20 locations where culture will be ‘elevated.’

The week will be filled with exciting opportunities to engage the elevation!

• Tuesday through Thursday, check out a variety of evening events throughout downtown, including a spoken word and poetry event called WordPlay on Wednesday at Union Street Grotto.

ELEVATE THE ARTS next week in downtown Courtenay will include a performance June 7 by Juno Awardwinning reggae artist Elaine L’il Bit Shepard.

Thursday, the schedule really starts to heat up with the Tribal Café, a Middle Eastern dance event at the Courtenay Legion, and Delinquency, a massive youth music showcase at the Venue Formerly Known As Joe’s Garage.

• Then on Friday, June 7, plan to spend the evening (6 to 9) in Simms Alley for a huge all-ages community dance party with local faves the Des Larson Trio and Juno Award-winning reggae artist Elaine L’il Bit Shepard.

Then head to the Venue Formerly Known As Joe’s Garage for Right to be Wild, a compelling punk rock retrospective featuring film, art and media from the Left Coast punk rock scene.

This event runs from 9 till 11 p.m. and includes a screening of the award winning film Bloodied But Unbowed.

If you’re looking for a cultural curveball, check out the Mind of a Snail Puppet Theatre Co. in the lower CVAG Black Box at 7 or 9 p.m. for their amazing take on shadow puppets!

• Saturday, June 8 from 10 a.m. right through till midnight, spend the day downtown and have discover the cultural heart of the community at work and at play.

Saturday evening will feature a multi-venue Culture Crawl from 6 till 9:30 p.m. Then head to Duncan Avenue for a fire dance performance from Vesta Fire Entertainment.

Cap off an incredible day with a show at the Bridge Lounge with House of David Gang, known as Canada’s No. 1 roots reggae orchestra and joined by local beat queens Sista Sully and Pleena. Limited tickets are $10 in advance with doors at 9 p.m.

Isfeld art students on Pearl Ellis walls Opening reception May 29 for exhibit until June 16

The Pearl Ellis Gallery and the Isfeld Art Department invite the public to attend Artbeat, an exhibition of Grade 11/12 art work.

Running from May 28 to June 16, Artbeat is a showcase of art produced by a number of different students from Isfeld Secondary School. With a wide array of works being presented, in a number of different mediums, the exhibition is well worth a visit to embrace the creativity of our community’s talented, young artists.

The Mark Isfeld students of teachers Gary Aylward and Lisa Chase will show a number of silkscreen pieces, acrylic paintings, experimental big canvases, clay masks and

“It is exciting to see how far the students have come in one semester,” says Aylward, who has been mentoring the students all year, helping them get ready for this show. “Each of the students has been on a personal journey of artistic expression and self-discovery; the results are provocative and stunning.

“Many of the students have never been involved in an art show or even thought of having their work displayed in a public gallery, so this is an excellent opportunity for them,” he added.

Students Johanna Weber and Luna Huebchen travelled to Europe with the school on the March break and their artwork reflects their experiences of being in Berlin and visiting former concentration camps.

“Our students are very talented and their work is diverse,” says Chase, adding that vis-

Opening night May 29 from 6 to 9 p.m. will feature many of the artists to discuss their work and celebrate their achievements.

Valley students get scholarships The winners of this year’s Virginia Graczak Music Scholarships for piano and voice are both from the Comox Valley.

Towa Stewart, a student at École Puntledge Park Elementary School in Courtenay, earned the $2,000 piano scholarship. Vanier Secondary School student Erin Humphry received the $1,500 voice scholarship.

The Virginia Graczak Music Scholarship, and the related Margaret Graczak Fine Art Award, were founded in 2001 by Campbell River retirees Susie and Michael Moscovich.

Both initiatives were named after cherished women in Susie’s life — the music scholarship in honour of her high school piano teacher, Virginia Graczak; the Fine Art Award in honour of Susie’s stepmother, Margaret Graczak.

North Island College’s Fine Art department administrates the latter; the former is a more personal and lavish affair, with funds raised by black tie galas held in the Moscovich’s home.

Though the “black tie” bit is optional, the scrumptious dinner, cocktails, and accompanying live concert make this a night to truly remember.

For the past 10 years, the Moscoviches have

Canadian Singer at Zocalo

LITTLE BIG BAND music will fill the Avalanche this Thursday — and so will the band.

Michael B. Poyntz (aka That Canadian Singer), known for his rich and velvety smooth voice, is performing at the Zocalo Café and Gallery on June 1.

Drawing from an array of song classics made famous by singing stars such as Roger Whittaker, Michael Buble and Rascal Flatts but also many Broadway classics, Michael’s baritone-soprano vocal range draws fans quickly once he steps up to the microphone.

For this performance he has created a unique song list that includes the hits of artists such as Norah Jones, John

Little Big Band not very little Popular act returns to play jazz Thursday at Avalanche

It’s time for one of the Georgia Straight Jazz Society’s favourite acts to return, when the Little Big Band is back at the jazz club at the Avalanche Bar this Thursday.

At the end of their fourth season together, the band’s sound has matured significantly as they play their own brand of high-energy, entertaining big band music.

Little in name only, the band consists of a full five-piece sax section: Suzie Christensen and Fred Kolls on alto, Julie Kenny and Tony Morrison on tenor and Julie Chamberlain on

baritone. These fine players are bound to impress with their extended soli sections along with some fiery solos from Morrison.

This time out, the saxes will be featured on Sammy Nestico’s A Warm Breeze and Duke Jordan’s Jordu.

The section also plays a lovely rendition of Dreamsville by Henry Mancini.

Four trumpets and three trombones make up the horn section, which generates precise shots and lush interpretations of old and new tunes. Expect to hear beautiful renditions of the classic Bye Bye Blackbird featuring Jake Masri and Bobby Shew’s Blue from trumpeter Roger Kirk along with some amazing solo work from Jay Havelaar and

Trash art returns Too many spare parts gadgets and gizmos? Beep! Bloop!

Beep!

Well, deconstruct, reconstruct and recycle your bits and bytes into a new robot friend for the fourth annual Trash Art Challenge!

The 2013 theme is Robots: Recreating the Future from the Past!

The idea is to repurpose discarded items and make them into something beautiful and meaningful, ranging from cute to strange to whimsical to unusual. All submissions must be constructed from materials recycled from a previous use.

Trash Art fits well with the arts council’s mandate to “facilitate and animate the arts

in the Comox Valley … promoting the Comox Valley as a creative and dynamic arts-producing centre.”

Brought to you by the Comox Valley Community Arts Council, City of Courtenay and the Comox Valley Regional District.

The opening reception for this quirky collection is June 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Muir Gallery at 440 Anderton Ave. in Courtenay.

Forms and more details are at www. comoxvalleyarts.com.

For more information on this or other CVCAC programs, contact us directly at 250334 2983 or events@ comoxvalleyarts.com.

Wendy Daniel’s eversolid support.

The trombones consist of Phil Cassidy, Doug Craig, and Paul Nuez. They will be featured on the classic A Foggy Day. Also expect to hear some excellent solo work from this fine section.

The Little Big Band has one of the most energetic rhythm sections around and this time will be no exception.

Michael Eddy on piano will provide solid comping along with a wonderful rendition of Duke Ellington’s Shiny Stockings. Completing the rhythm section are band director Don MacKay on bass and the bopster himself, Billy Street on drums.

They have their work cut out for them in the band’s performances

of Dizzy Gillespie’s A Night in Tunisia and Mongo Santamaria’s Afro Blue, which is a bit of a rhythmic stew.

To change things up a bit, the Little Big Band will add a bit of funk to this show, including Chuck Mangione’s Feels So Good and that 1970s favourite Pick Up The Pieces.

The band’s vocalist is the wonderful Amy Lelliot, who will perform several numbers, including a very Latin version of It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing and Time After Time.

It is less than three weeks and counting until the local Vancouver Island Performance Youth Racing Squad (VIPYRS) hosts the inaugural B.C. Provincial Youth Road Cycling Championships June 8-9 at a number of locations in the Comox Valley.

The race, which is the first of its kind for B.C. youth road cyclists, consists of three provincial championships – a road race in the Dove Creek area on the morning of Saturday, June 8, followed by a hill climb race up the Mt. Washington Parkway later that afternoon. The event then moves to downtown Courtenay on Sunday, June 9 for a closed course criterium race. The race is expected to attract the best youth (ages 10 -18)

road cyclists in B.C., and is attracting racing teams from as far away as the Yukon Territory and Washington State.

In preparation for the provincial championships, a number of the VIPYRS team travelled to Enumclaw, Washington for the

❞

18th annual Mutual of Enumclaw Stage Race May 18-19. The team raced well against tough U.S. and Canadian competition, with Jess Reynolds of Seal Bay sweeping the time trial, cri-

terium and road race stages en route to a gold medal in the (overall) general classification.

Mark Grant of Merville started the race with a victory in the time trial and was particularly dominant in the criterium race, leading nearly every lap.

Mark finished with the silver medal in the general classification. Other young VIPYR riders James Grant and Brodie Hay tested their mettle against adult riders in advanced categories and acquitted themselves very well.

On June 8-9, everyone is invited to come out and enjoy the racing and meet the athletes – be sure to make a lot of noise in support of our local riders! Anyone wishing to get involved as a volunteer with the event should contact the VIPYRS at their website at www.vipyrsracing.com.

Top AA girls soccer teams in town for provincials The Beautiful Game will be front and centre in the Comox Valley this week as Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School is hosting the 2013 Girls AA High School Provincial Soccer Championships at their school and adjacent Valley View soccer facilities.

Isfeld, and the Comox Valley, will be welcoming nearly 350 athletes, coaches and spectators representing 16 schools from around the province. The tournament goes for three days, from Thursday, May 30 through Saturday, June 1.

Sixteen games each day will be taking place on Thursday and Friday, with start times being 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m.

On Saturday, the final eight matches will take place to determine final standings, with the championship final going at 11:30 a.m.

The games will be followed by an award ceremony on the field. This year’s competition will showcase the finest in girls’ school soccer, and spectators are encouraged to come out and watch.

On the field, the Isfeld Ice senior girls’ soccer team is in the midst of a terrific

season. They consistently improved all season and had only two league losses heading into playoffs. The girls entered tournaments to keep them sharp, finishing third at the Carihi invitational in April.

At the North Island tournament in early May, the team placed third after wins over Brentwood, Gulf Islands and Shawnigan and losing only to eventual North Island champs Ballenas.

A week later at the Island championships, the Ice started slowly with a loss to SMUS but bounced back with a super performance, beating Ballenas 3-0 and headed into the last game with a chance to

claim top spot in their pool.

Things weren’t to be, and the girls lost to Brooks and finished out of the top four.

“We have been looking forward to hosting and it’s exciting to play at a provincial championship. Also

THE ISFELD ICE senior girls soccer team, from left to right: Back row - Emma Miller, Mali Przy, Rosie Price, Shelby Jeeves, Emma Leevers, Sabine Rankin, Sydney Kuhnert, Emily Keyes. Middle row - Claudia Hurworth (coach), Sophie Reimer, Jenna Kuhnert, Megan Komori-Kennedy, Kenzie Hanson, Ariel Becherer, Emma Balneaves, Holly Phillips, Jonathan Bos (coach). Front row - Kate McKeown, Jenna Haaf, Cassidy Marinus, Lex Hornstein, Erin Hallier, Marisa Benisky, Bradie Gailloux.

high on the girls list of things to look forward to is the provincial tournament banquet which they will host at the Isfeld gym on Friday, May 31,” a team spokesperson said.

Hosting a tournament of this magnitude is a big job.

In addition to running 40 games, Isfeld will host the banquet for over 320, create packages and tournament souvenir programs for all the teams, as well as keeping everything organized on and off the field. This would have been an impossible task without tireless efforts that the numerous volunteers, parents, players, friends and soccer colleagues have contributed so far.

If you would like to know more, contact Jonathan Bos jonathan.bos@sd71.bc.ca for more information. For up to the minute tournament details, check out the championship webpage http://www2.sd71.bc.ca/ aagirlssoccer2013/.

Meanwhile, it’s a busy week for Isfeld as they are also hosting the B.C. high school golf championships at Crown Isle. Action runs today and concludes tomorrow.

LUXURY THAT’S STILL 100% JEEP.

®

THE MOTORCYCLES MADE their season debut at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday night.

Busy night of racing Terry Guest Special to the Record

The first of five drifting competitions took place at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday. Nine drift cars, varying in different drifting styles, made for some great drifting throughout the night.

The motorcycles made their first appearance of the year, sporting a new track. In previous years they would go around the track averaging 20-25 seconds, now they are using the dirt jumps located on turn four, making for an MX style of racing. #6 Joel Forth and #86 Brad Taddeo battled hard in the 10-lap main event, with Forth taking the lead on the last lap and not looking back.

Three different winners were declared for three different races in the I.M.C.A Modified division. #44 Tim Openshaw took the dash, #89 Gregg Sagmoen took the eight-lap heat, and #92 Dano Bryant, who had been struggling all night, found his way in the main, holding off Openshaw to win their 20-lap feature.

Eleven cars took to the track in the Bomber car division. #77 Travis Stevenson won the B heat, with the

A going to #97 Mike Dionne. Last year’s Bomber car champion, #72 Stewart Lee, continued his winning ways in the main event, taking the lead on lap 31 of 40 from Stevenson, and winning his first Brian Sullivan Memorial race.

In the drifting division, #19 Hayden Barnes and #26 Alex Davidson out-drifted the rest of the field to get themselves to the final drift off.

Barnes and Davidson were matching each other drift for drift, but Barnes edged out Davidson to win the first round of the drifting competition.

EXTRA LAPS The Crash to Pass, Hornets, Roadrunners and Figure 8s are all on the card this Saturday … going into the night, #12 Raymond Fortier holds a 65-point lead over second-place #81 Jeremy Stormo, who is on a two main event winning streak in the Hornet B class … in the Hornet A class, #01 Kevin Lawrenuk holds a 74-point lead over second-place #14 Kyle Fallowfield … #01 Jeff May holds a 69-point lead over his cousin #02 Matt May in the Crash to Pass division … #17 Dan Kemp holds a 131-point lead over #66 Nick Leavitt in the Roadrunner division …

Rat Pack Sunday at SD men’s golf

CVAC SHARKS FROM left to right: Joyce Arends, Julianna Bartemucci, Brooke Lamoureux, Gabrielle Wolfe and Jordyn Ryan.

Sharks hot at Hyack Five Comox Valley Aquatic Club Sharks travelled to New Westminster to compete at the Canada Games pool for the Hyack Festival Youth Cup. With over 450 competitors representing 17 teams, the meet was very tough. Entry criteria was a minimum of AAA Provincial times, ensuring fast swimming and exciting competition. The visiting teams from the USA (King Aquatic Club from Seattle and Thunderbolts from Beaverton, OR) proved to be quite a challenge for the host team (Hyack) and the rest of the Canadian clubs.

Despite the adversities that presented themselves, the meet was fast – numerous meet records fell and kept the competition exciting.

Monetary prizes were given out for the top three places in each race: $30 for first, $20 for second, and $10 for third.

Needless to say, this spurred the racers on.

www.comoxvalleyrecord.com

During the meet, Brooke Lamoureux came first in the 800 free and second in the 200 free. She also added a first in the 400 free and a second in the 50 free. Her name will go in the Sharks’ record books as the new record holder for long course 200 fly and 200 free, breaking two previous records set in 1998 by Jessie Bradshaw.

Jordyn Ryan scored a second in the 400 IM, a third in the 800 free, a second in the 200 IM, and a second in the 400 free. Jordyn’s name will also be etched into Sharks’ history as the new record holder of the long course 200 backstroke; breaking Jenny Lock’s record set in 2000.

Juliana Bartemucci did her best by making second swims in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes.

Joyce Arends did very well. She made the finals in the 100 free, 100 fly, 50 free, and the 200 IM. That’s

a lot of swimming for one weekend.

Gabrielle Wolfe, our youngest competitor at the meet, came in 12th in her 800 free - quite a solid performance, as was her 400 free. Both her Individual Medley events (200 and 400) were swum well, too.

Gabrielle is training hard and hopes to be qualifying for the Age Group National level soon. “The way she is training along with her determination begs for a positive outcome!” remarked her coach.

Check out our website at www.sharks. bc.ca or call our registrar, Loretta, 250339-7295 to inquire about exciting new opportunities for the fall...”Swim with the Sharks!”

Bob was born in 1926 to Canadian parents Robert and Bernis Craig in Seattle, Washington, and grew up in Falconbridge, Ontario, where his father and uncles worked in the mining industry. After serving in the Canadian Army, he came to the West Coast, establishing a dairy farm in the Comox Valley with his father in 1947 and marrying in 1949. From 1964, he was a partner in Bear Lake Logging until his retirement in 1988.

Bob was predeceased by his parents and his sons, Bruce and Graham, and is survived by his brother Patrick Craig (Rusty), his daughters Colleen Craig (Blaine Wright) and Jo-Ann Sleiman (Michael), his grandchildren Lindsey Craig (Shane Muxlow), Courtney Craig, Sam Wright, Russel Wright and Sofia Sleiman, his great-grandchildren Acacia and Soleil Muxlow, and Myrtle Craig, the mother of his four children.

The family would like to express its deepest gratitude to Doctors Kennedy and Byron and the staff of Campbell River Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation..

Please join us for a celebration of life at 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 1 at the Campbell River Maritime Heritage Centre, 621 Island Highway, Campbell River.

David Charles Hardy February 4, 1957 – May 17, 2013 It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden and tragic death of Dave in a vehicle accident.

Dave was son to Bob and Marion Hardy, brother to Paul and Lori; husband to Barb, father to Lydia, Winter, Alan, Maurice, Liam, Molly and Luke.

Dave was born in London, Ont., raised in Brockville, later returning to London.

He married and moved to B.C. here with his family starting over. Dave had learned an old trade of horse logging in eastern Ontario and always felt at peace in the woods.

Dave’s simple open honesty was appreciated by many. He was careful to be positive and speak praisefully dealing gently whenever he could. He valued heavenly treasures over earthly ones and loved the Lord. Dave’s strong constitution enabled him to survive the harshness of his illness. He always had time to listen and made a great cup of coffee.

Thanks for making our lives richer and reminding us that all we really need is a song in our hearts, food in our bellies and love in our families. You are loved and missed dearly by all.

A celebration of life service will be held at Black Creek, Mennonite Brethren Church, 7898 Island Highway, Black Creek, Friday, May 31, 2013 at 1PM. For those who wish, instead of flowers please donate to the BC Schizophrenic Society, 941 Kings Rd, Victoria, BC V8T 1W7.

John Alexander Windram Born July 28, 1948, passed away May 19, 2013 Known to the world as John and to his family as Alex he was predeceased by parents John and Aileen Windram and a sister Mari Jane as well as a twin brother. He is survived by brothers Bill (Kathy) of Courtenay and Charles of Hamilton, Ontario and a sister Betty Jo of Campbell River. He is also survived by an adopted daughter Cara (Wes) of Courtenay and two grandchildren Darrien and Justice.

Alex was born in Vancouver but grew up in the Comox Valley. He left the valley in his early twenties. After spending some time in Timmins Ontario where he managed a radiator business Alex returned to the valley in 1984. Upon his return he was for the most part self employed working in the shake industry and then he created his own handyman business, ‘Unicorn Construction’.

Alex enjoyed the outdoors especially camping and sitting by the campfire. Although he faced some hard times himself or maybe because of it he was always up to helping others who needed something fixed, a problem solved, or a shelter over their head.

Alex was a fighter; he fought and beat cancer twice, struggled with diabetes, and other health issues. Several times he had been to the edge and was able to make it back. Alex died peacefully two weeks after a house fire.

He was loved by and will be missed by many.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Comox Valley Funeral Home, Cremation and Reception Centre, 1101 Ryan Rd., Courtenay, Friday, May 31st, 2013 at 11:00am, with Father Joe Killoran officiating. Reception and committal of ashes to follow.

Chuck Boisvert The family of the late Chuck Boisvert have decided that in lieu of a service in Comox they will donate to the Canadian Liver Foundation in Chuck’s memory.

Celebrations of Life were held in Bonnyville, Alberta and Powell River.

We would like to share a poem which we believe was Chuck’s model in life: “Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.”

We will forever love and miss you.

Judie, Taylor, Misty and Sébastien

Alison Bennett It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Alison Claire Bennett (nee Fuller) at age 50 on May 20, 2013 after a long brave battle with ALS. She leaves behind her devoted husband of 26 years, Dave; sons Scott and Ian; parents David and Margaret Fuller of Courtenay; brother Mark Fuller (Rhonda) of Vancouver; parents-inlaw Tony and Elaine Bennett of Victoria; brother-in-law Bruce Bennett (Randi) of Whitehorse; brother-in-law Michael Bennett (Jacqui) of Victoria; sister-in-law Jennifer Gill (Chris) of Victoria; nieces and nephews Nicola, Kevin, Seth, Kalie, Jason and James, and many other loving relatives and friends.

Alison was born and raised in Victoria, received her teaching degree from UVIC in 1985, and went on to work in Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, and most recently at Laronde Elementary in Surrey. She was passionate about her job as the music teacher at Laronde, and took great delight in her students and directing their musical productions.

Generous and fun-loving, Alison also had a strong sense of community. Among other projects, she was instrumental in the construction of a playground in Vancouver’s Clinton Park, and in many fundraising efforts for the ALS society.

Over the years she spent many happy holidays with family on Hornby Island and Wise Island. She enjoyed travelling and loved taking family photos while visiting friends and relatives in the UK, the Bahamas and every corner of North America.

Naturally athletic, she loved to “run the ravine” in White Rock with her good friends. She was also an avid gardener with a green thumb who loved flowers outside and inside her home.

She liked to see musical theatre, tennis matches, and was a constant presence at her sons’ activities, including their musical performances and hockey games. The main focus of Alison’s life was her family, and no mother was ever more proud of her children than Alison was of her sons Scott and Ian. Her family would like to thank Amanda Myring (Nick), Alison’s circle of friends who gave their unwavering support, and her many dedicated caregivers. They gave her the independence she craved and the highest quality of life that was possible in her final years.

A service celebrating Alison’s life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 14831 28th Ave, Surrey on Saturday, June 8th at 1:00pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the ALS Society of BC. www.alsbc.ca Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522

YANA office has new face New executive director comes from position on board

For many people in the Comox Valley, particularly clients and their families, Anita Brassard has been the face of YANA. She’s the compassionate voice on the other end of the phone or the friendly face you’ll meet when you visit the YANA office.

Initially a volunteer and over the past five years the executive director, Anita has a long history of helping children and families in the Comox Valley.

At the end of June, her passion for the well-being of children and families will take her to a new role with the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.

“My work with Children’s Health Foundation will allow me to extend the reach of my work to Central and North Vancouver Island while allowing me to remain firmly rooted in the Comox Valley community,” Anita says. “I cherish the relationships that I made in my role with YANA and I look forward to connecting with many of those people in my new position.”

The YANA board of directors is very happy

to announce the hiring of Marcie Dumais as the new executive director effective July 1.

“Marcie brings a wealth of education, experience and knowledge about YANA as she transitions from a board role to this new position,” says president Judy Cryer, speaking for the board.

“We are confident that we have found a new executive director who will continue the same tradition of excellence in serving families who travel out of our community for medical services for their children.”

Of this opportunity, Marcie says, “I’m honoured to work for YANA in this new capacity and will aim to provide the same level of care and compassion that Anita has given to YANA families over the years.”

From May 15 to the end of June, Anita and Marcie will work together to ensure a smooth transition.

YANA assists families within School District 71 boundaries whose children must travel outside the area for medical care.

For more information about YANA, to volunteer or donate, visit www.yanacomoxvalley.com, like them on Facebook, or call 250-871-0343.

LAND OF PLENTY

A History of the Comox District

Military

Royal Navy Sailors at the Spit

Naval History

H.M.S. Egeria The military history of the Comox District is a lengthy one when the Royal Navy is considered. It certainly is distinguished. Early in the 19th century, the Royal Navy ships began calling at Comox Bay and Goose Spit for a variety of purposes. Ultimately, the Royal Canadian Navy assumed the tasks of the Royal Navy on the West Coast.

The Canadian Army has also found the Comox District to be a very suitable location for general and specific training. The two most famous units raised largely in this district and which carried out preliminary training here were the 102nd Battalion of First World War fame and the Canadian Scottish (Princess Mary’s) “C” Company. Since the First World War, the Comox District has had militia units in residence on a nearly continuous basis. For a short period after the Second World War, the 62nd Anti-Tank Battery was located at the Sandwick Army Camp but was soon amalgamated with the Canadian Scottish “C” Company

(Militia), which is still active here.

In 1944 the Royal Air Force began operations at RCAF Station Comox as No. 6 RAF Transportation Command (Operational Training Unit). The base was closed in 1946 but reopened in 1952 and is now known as CFB Comox. More detailed accounts of these military presences are contained in this chronicle.

During the Second World War, the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers were formed. They were disbanded at the cessation of hostilities.

In 1920 a machine gun unit was raised by Captain G.R. Bates as O.C. of “J” Battery. It was located in the Agricultural Hall and practices were held at the Goose Spit range.

Machine guns, rifles and other equipment were supplied. The life of this unit was not a long one.

In Courtenay’s museum, a Book of Remembrance, compiled by Ruth Masters, tells the full story of local servicemen who gave their lives in the cause of freedom.

The arrival of Captain Cook at Nootka in 1778 can be interpreted as the arrival of the Royal Navy on Vancouver Island.

Captain Vancouver reached the Pacific Coast in April, 1792. After talks with Quadra of the Spanish Navy, Vancouver joined forces with two Spanish ships, the Sutil and the Mexicana, on a joint expedition.

“The four ships proceeded north through Malaspina Channel and worked together until July 13, when the Spaniards left to examine the mainland coastline, and Captain Vancouver continued through Discovery Passage and Johnstone Strait to Queen Charlotte Sound.”

The Royal Navy had arrived in local waters.

A good harbour was required for future operations. Esquimalt offered a natural harbour for the Royal Navy ships. Late in July, 1846, Captain Courtenay brought the frigate Constance (50 guns), to anchor there. The Constance was by no means the first ship to

visit the harbour, which had been known for many years, but it was the men of the Constance who discovered the fresh water supply that was to make Esquimalt so valuable to the Royal Navy.

It was from Esquimalt that the early Royal Navy ships arrived to begin making use of Goose Spit.

The following excerpts are taken from an article by the late Norman A. Pritchard, who chronicled much of the early history of the district: The history of Comox is interwoven with that of the British Squadron of the Royal Navy. The gunboat Grappler brought settlers in 1862, and HMS Hecate conducted surveys. The Egeria charted the inland waterways, and throughout the earlier years the squadron policed this coast, protecting the tiny settlements.

There was a friendliness between the pioneers and the naval personnel based on mutual respect. The behaviour of the sailors was good, and their concerts given in the old Knights of Pythias

hall were bright spots in the pattern of pioneer life. The walls were gay with flags, the comedy was clean, the sailors’ hornpipes shook the old building, and the songs were either robust or dripping with sentiment.

Searchlight displays were dear to our hearts, and a boy could climb high to watch the heavy gunfire at Tribune Bay, where the flash, the smoke, and the fountain of spray were quite visible. Also, our windows shook with the detonations.

Mr. John Hawkins, whose farm lay by Goose Spit, supplied fresh vegetables and fruit, rowing out in his own boat, and sometimes being paid in gold sovereigns. H.C. Lucas supplied bread to the ships, and Mr. Roy of Royston brought water.

We did not regard the navy as an offensive, or warlike, arm of the service, but rather as part of the fabric of pioneer life, and as protection.

The officers in their civvies and the men in their uniforms went swinging up our country roads. Our willow grouse

provided hunting, but were so tame that the officers often despaired of a wing shot, and were too sporting to take a sitting bird.

Samuel Cliffe often sat on the verandah of the Lorne Hotel looking through his long brass telescope, a relic of sailor days, to see if he could make out the name of an incoming cruiser. Reg Carwithen saw 80 sailors carry a mast they had taken out of the woods, down past the Lorne Hotel.

Of those sailors, buried by the Anglican Church of Comox, two were boys who fell out of the upper spars.

Sham battles were at long intervals conducted in the woods, where the Fort now stands. The naval ratings enjoyed these sham battles as a diversion from life on the ship.

The names of some of the naval ships that came to Comox around the turn of the century were Satellite, Phaeton, Arethusa, Warspite, Condor, Sparrow-hawk, Pheasant, and Amphion, Egeria, Shearwater and Algerine.

Pedestrian deaths troubling It took a cultural shift to battle drinking and driving, perhaps it’s time to make another shift so fewer pedestrians die in our streets.

As with drunk driving, we can do that by changing laws, attitudes and public perception.

Tougher laws and costly penalties made it unacceptable to drink and drive.

Groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving got behind the campaigns and programs such as Operation Red Nose made it easier for people to make the right choice during the holidays.

Corporations launched campaigns to make it cool to be the designated driver and drivers — thus educated and forewarned — changed their behaviour.

It may take similar efforts to reduce the number of pedestrian fatalities, which last year totalled 63, according to the BC Coroner’s Service.

That’s almost the same number of people who were killed by drunk drivers last year, yet where’s the outcry?

The sad fact is it’s walking seniors, 70 and older, who die the most often in a collision with a car.

Where do most of these fatalities occur?

At intersections and marked crosswalks.

When?

In December and January, when it’s dark and rainy. In fact, people of all ages are at greatest risk during this province’s gloomiest months.

Pedestrians need to understand that there are no safe intersections or crosswalks.

Adults must apply the same safety rules they teach their kids: be aware of your surroundings, look both ways, make eye contact with drivers.

And sorry, seniors, old age is not an exemption from the crucial lessons we direct at our youth.

But it doesn’t stop there: Driver education must be enhanced, laws must be toughened and outerwear must be reflective, or at the very least lighter in colour.

Pedestrian fatalities aren’t any less serious than drunk driving deaths.

So why are they treated that way?

“Senators embarrass Canadians,” she continued.

B.C. child care not working Dear editor, May is Childcare Month.

The reality is that child care in our province is not working!

The Early Childhood Educators of B.C. and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. offer up a solution to the crisis in child care and have presented a plan that will see fees capped at $10 a day for full-time care and $7 a day for part-time programs such as pre-schools. Families who earn under $40,000 per year will have no fees at all.

But what exactly is the crisis?

In B.C., families are burdened with the high cost of child care, which is second only to mortgage payments in monthly expenses, and higher if you have more

than one child. Quality regulated spaces are hard to find and wages for Early Childhood Educators are too low.

We are long past the time when we can argue about the benefits of quality early years experiences for children.

Research also shows that public spending on the early years is a wise social and economic investment.

But what exists is a patchwork system of services that is often hard to navigate and accessible only to those who can afford it.

The $10-a-day Child Care Plan is innovative and ambitious and requires a shift in the way we think about and deliver services to young children and families. It

provides a framework for significant and lasting change that will happen over time.

Fundamentally, children and families have a right to publicly funded, democratically controlled services. Children also have the right to participate in early care and learning programs that suit them best.

At the core, our children are worth it!

You can view the entire plan and accompanying fact sheets and sign on to endorse it at www. ecebc.ca.

Charlene Gray, ECE, Editor’s note: Charlene Gray is the director of professionalism for the Early Childhood Educators of B.C.

Public properties not too public Dear editor, Recently there have been concerns about public access to what has been public property in the past or dormant public properties that are rights of ways.

The Royston trail project lies on the property that has been dormant for many decades — assumed to be private — understandable that adjacent property owners are concerned the Stotan Falls property has been assumed to be public for generations.

Forestry companies becoming developers on former forested public land is much less understandable or acceptable.

In the Little River neighbourhood, Mayfair Road has been a popular public beach access, and gathering place for neighbours, fishermen and visitors for many decades. Neighbours maintained this right of way for public use — still do.

A recent adjacent property owner has obtained a “specialized driveway permit” from the Ministry of Transportation/Infrastructure to “landscape” part of

the right of way despite neighbours’ concerns.

Going forward, as the last manager said. Going forward means the public will have fewer opportunities to have a say on

public properties.

Somehow, this public ownership of public property issue is way out of balance.

Phil Harrison, Little River

Bridge decision correct Dear editor, With the recent bridge collapse in Skagit County, I thought it timely to mention the debate at Courtenay city council about either painting and making the Fifth Street Bridge pretty, or making it safe for the foreseeable future.

Thankfully they made the right decision despite a lot of protest about just doing whatever would make it do for the next season of tourists.

Unless it’s an extraordinary bridge, the only way a bridge is going to attract tourists happened the other night outside Seattle.

It’s the destination of down-

town Courtenay that would attract tourists, not the bridge down the hill you can’t really see beyond Cliffe Avenue.

Thanks to Courtenay city council for making the right deciRick Forbes, sion.

Where’s co-operation?

Dear editor, As I read letters from voters who regret voting Green, I just shake my head and sigh.

In the weeks leading up to the election, I talked with a top NDP spokesperson.

I was very upset to see that both Greens and NDP were running in the Valley after I had heard of negotiations and some agreement to strategically run candidates from only one party based on which had the best likelihood of winning — meaning the Greens and NDP were finally acting sensibly and cooperating for the common good.

Wrong!

I was told that discussions had taken place and it seemed there was some agreement, but then the Green leader stepped in and declared the Greens would run candidates in every riding they could.

When I heard this, I was profoundly disillusioned with the Greens, a party whose environmental stance is dear to my

heart. And then the predictable happened. The Greens dismiss that vote-splitting had anything to do with the results, and the NDP acts surprised about what happened.

My message to both parties is that if you are unable to grasp the concept of vote-splitting, if you are unable to move beyond partisan politics and build a strategic alliance for the sake of the province, the country and the planet (because Christy Clark’s policies are going to have environmental/climate consequences that go far beyond our provincial boundaries) — if you are unable to do these things, then I don’t feel you are ready to be in power.

So the challenge to you both is to use these next four years to do some sober soul-searching and to come together so we don’t see a repeat of this mess four years from now.

Surely, what we have in common is greater than what divides us. Please make it so.

S. Schiller

Green, NDP should talk Dear editor, This is a strong thank you to the people who took the time to send their reactions on the election outcome to our local newspapers!

We feel that the blame can be placed on all sides of this very ‘UNgreen’ outcome — the parties should have dialogued with each other and, more of us should have voted!

We came here from Salt Spring Island a few years ago and where they now have an active Committee for Cross Party Cooperation. And even though they are still going through their electoral count and maybe recount, they did dialogue.

We should be equally shocked

at a 52-per-cent voter turnout — a very disturbing fact in a socalled democratic country. Many progressive countries have made it mandatory to vote and maybe our time has come.

But, when you break down the voting numbers and percentages, do you really think Ms. Clark has a mandate to impose environmental chaos on the province?

We foresee legal actions, protests and even blockades ahead, and we can only hope that our local MLA takes note. We won’t tolerate our beautiful environment being destroyed in the name of greed.

Rosemary Baxter, Courtenay

Weaning off fossil fuels Dear editor, This Green voter is no longer in the first flush of youth but should the Enbridge pipeline be approved, I am quite prepared to take a tent, sleeping bag, etc. to a First Nations land to camp out on the surveyed line.

If our grandchildren are to have any quality in their environment, we need to begin weaning ourselves off fossil fuels.

What goes up the smokestack

in China adds more CO2 to that already produced here in its extraction.

I would also protest mining coal in the Comox Valley. Experiencing the Great Smog of 1952 in London, U.K., was quite a wakeup call on the health effects of coal. Surely 60 years on we can find a more sustainable energy source.

The Dream Retirement Residence Memories included.

Dear editor, Research shows that teenagers, especially at the age of 12 and 13, are prone to suicide — particularly when close friends had taken their own lives.

Parents of today should be extremely cautious and watch their children carefully.

My son, who has lost two promising students through suicide over the past two years, cautions parents to be more attentive to their teenage children. He recommends that parents should show love to them.

He said, “They will remember your love and interest in them.”

Driving tests for seniors not too fair Dear editor, On Oct. 24. 2012, I took a road test with a DriveABLE tester, as I was 81 years old.

I had to use a car they provided — not my own.

The tester started to talk about his new relationship — also told me two smutty jokes.

I told him he should not talk to me on a road test and he said, “OK!” The place I took the test was Courtenay, not Nanaimo as stated on a report. My doctor’s name was incorrect and my

However, a pamphlet put out

by ICBC stated, the driving tester will not talk to you during your test so you may keep your full attention on your driving!

I feel the public should know what’s going on with some of we seniors and DriveABLE. E. Wiegerink, Courtenay

BCTF digging in for endless war with government VICTORIA — Like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of World War II, the militant fringe that controls the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is digging in for endless battle against the B.C. government.

Their nemesis, Premier Christy Clark, reiterated last week that seeking a 10-year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority when the legislature is recalled this summer.

The current one-year truce ends June 30.

The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table.

Last week the B.C. Court of Appeal handed down an ivory-tower decision that upheld the “right” of teachers to bring their union demands into the classroom in the form of posters, buttons and black armbands that to some self-absorbed teachers symbolize the “death” of education.

During the election campaign, the Globe and Mail carried a story on one of those mock elections held in schools around the province. An elementary-level student was quoted as saying she voted against the B.C. Liberals because Clark “caused a teachers’ strike.”

If this kid was talking about the most recent strike, I wonder where she got that idea. In a negotiating performance that was appalling even

by BCTF standards, Lambert and her team conducted months of disruptive work-to-rule action before they could even articulate a wage and benefit demand.

When they finally did, it was outrageously out of touch with reality.

An indication of how the union’s ruling class wants to conduct itself in the classroom can be found in the latest issue of the BCTF newsletter. Joanna Larson, president of the Prince Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined: “What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?

“Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It

doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.”

In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts:

“The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year….

Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to

Politics

Fletcher

change and shape our society for the better.”

What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”? In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is gener-

ally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago.

It’s no wonder we

hear of students making BCTF picket signs in art class.
