The Comox Valley Regional District and BC Transit are pleased to offer loonie rides on Canada Day Monday. The one-day discount is intended to encourage residents to leave their driving and parking worries at home on Canada’s 146th birthday.

Coal mine concerns heard Scott Stanfield Record Staff
The regional district board heard several concerns Tuesday about another coal licence application from Compliance Coal Corporation. The company — which is the proponent of the proposed Raven underground coal mine in Baynes Sound and which holds a 60 per cent interest in the Bear Coal Deposit south of Comox Lake — has also expressed interest in exploring coal resources near Anderson Lake above Forbidden Plateau north of Comox Lake. Compliance says it has no intention of exploring either the Bear Coal or Anderson Lake deposits, even if government approves the Raven project. The Anderson Lake application was made in 2007, since which the Province has held it in abeyance. Nevertheless, if the deposit is developed, CoalWatch Comox Valley questions what type of environmental review process it would encounter. Mindful of changes in federal and provincial review processes, and proposed changes in the Fisheries Act, CoalWatch president John Snyder feels the review process on the Raven proposal will be a thing of the past. “With the Anderson Lake coal licence in the application phase, we have a special opportunity that was unavailable to us on the Raven and Bear Coal licences,” Snyder said. “We have the opportunity to say ‘NO NOW’ before anything moves forward.” At the last committee of the whole session, directors approved a letter to the chief inspector of mines to inform terms and conditions of the licence submitted by Compliance. “Why would the CVRD board not simply say no to this application given the fact that the Province and
federal government ministries have not heeded the requests from the CVRD for an independent and comprehensive assessment process,” David Stapley said. He was referring to a board resolution to oppose further processing of the Raven application until senior levels of government conducted comprehensive aquifer mapping, undertaken baseline studies of affected flora and fauna, and appointed an independent scientific panel to
review the application. Wayne White of the Tsolum River Restoration Society also asked the board to oppose the application. “My feeling is the Comox Valley can grow without coal,” said Area A director Bruce Jolliffe, noting the granting of coal licences is a discretionary practice, as per the gold commissioner. He called for an amended letter requesting no licence be issued due to concern that coal mine exploration, and further
exploration, impacts existing industries. His motion passed. CoalWatch reminded the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency of a legal obligation to assess “cumulative environmental effects that are likely to result from the project in combination with other projects or activities that have or will be carried out.” The board agreed to include the wording in the policy comments in the letter.

unveiled.” Lee adds the project is part of the hospital’s Legacy Years campaign, in which the hospital used donations to implement various projects like a commemorative video and the hospital mural, as well as beautification projects on the grounds. “Each donor will have a plaque placed on the grounds of the gardens, throughout the gardens,” continues Lee. “So this will be all part of the presentation that happens on July 7.” Though the entire event
is free, including parking at the hospital, Lee notes St. Joseph’s General Hospital Foundation will have an information table set up at the event and will accept donations. The Royal Bank of Canada kids zone will feature a 4-H Club petting zoo, and entertainment by Captain Thunderpants and Snow White. Donations will be accepted at the 4-H petting zoo. Free parking will also be available at the Little Red Church on Comox Avenue; attendees are asked
to refrain from parking on streets adjacent to the hospital, and people who live nearby are encouraged to walk or bike. Lee recommends packing a reusable water bottle, sunscreen and a lawn chair as seating will be limited. Water stations will be on site. Lee notes St. Joseph’s is very grateful for the community’s ongoing support for the hospital. “It was the community first and foremost that rose to the occasion to help the hospital become what it is
today, so the celebration is really an extension of that gratitude,” she says. “Come out and reflect on those hundred years of the community support from the Comox Valley.” Meanwhile, the hospital centennial celebration gala, Gala in the Gardens, is set for Friday, July 5 at 6:30 p.m. at the Florence Filberg Centre. The dinner and dance marks the anniversary of the day four nuns from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto stepped foot onto the Comox wharf to estab-

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) service will be removing the bins for recycling glass from all the multi-material recycling depots effective July 15 due to the lack of options currently available to recycle this commodity. For glass to be recycled, it must be sorted and shipped to out-ofprovince factories to be made into new glass, as there is no longer a glass recycling facility in B.C. The glass collected at the recycling depots is of a poor quality in that it is often contaminated with other material, meaning that, in many instances, the product cannot be recycled anywhere. The glass collection bins will be moved to secured and safe locations at the Campbell River and Comox Valley waste management centres where the glass will be accepted and repurposed as aggregate for roads or ground cover in the landfill. Unlike food waste, glass is an inert material that does not decompose in the landfill to produce leachate or emit harmful greenhouse gases. “Our waste management centres have staff that can monitor the site and ensure that the material is properly placed in the recycling containers,” said CVRD’s manager of solid waste services, Tom Boatman. “Residents are encouraged to reuse a non-refundable glass container as many times as possible, then at the end of its life they can choose

Child centre owner found guilty of fraud Record Staff A Cumberland woman was found guilty Friday of fraud following a police investigation into her three child-care facilities in the Comox Valley. Victoria Ann Rutenberg, 38, was charged with three counts of fraud over $5,000 following a 2011 investigation by the Comox Valley RCMP following a tip from the public, who worked jointly with Ministry of Children and Family Development’s fraud unit. Rutenberg was the owner of After School Fun, formerly operating at Cumberland Elementary School, After School Fun Club, formerly operating at Royston Elementary School and Fun Club After School Care, formerly operating at Courtenay Elementary
School. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robin Baird found her guilty of fraudulently receiving funds from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Child Care Operating Fund Program. RCMP noted during their investigation Rutenberg failed to report the closures of two of her facilities and over-billed the third active location until May 31, 2011. She provided fraudulent documentation on an annual and monthly basis to the Ministry of Children and Family Development, resulting in payments of $357,811.50. Rutenberg’s next court appearance will be July 22 to set a date for sentencing. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Dave Thomas George “Digger” Brown David Thomas George”Digger” Brown (most recently of Fanny Bay BC) passed away in his son’s home on Monday, June 24, 2013. David was predeceased by his Father, Herbert Walter Brown (of McDougall and Brown Funeral Home - Toronto), his Mother, Alma Isobelle (Skippon) Brown, his brothers Michael Brown, John Brown, sister, Virginia (Peach)Robertson, sister Norma Scarborough, sister, Patricia Skippon, brother Charles Brown, and his sister Dianne Cavanagh. Digger leaves behind his best friend and ex wife Doreen Koebel Brown(Courtenay), daughters Karen Brown (Victoria ), son Jim Brown (Courtenay), and daughter Kelly Brown (Toronto) as well as grandson John-Michael Brown (Courtenay) and granddaughter Jenna Brown (Victoria), the “Victoria Clan” (Colin Wilson, Roberta Mason and Nick and Joe Mason-Wilson). Digger leaves behind sisters Gloria Baldwin (Scarborough) and Marigold “Mal”Wilson (Toronto) as well as numerous nieces and nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews around the world, all of whom played a huge roll in his life. Digger also leaves behind dear friends Glenn and Judy Plewis (Fanny Bay) and Bev Sparks (Comox). Digger started his career in the Navy being originally stationed in Churchill MB and then on to Moncton NB where he met and married his life long best friend Doreen Koebel. In 1956 he left the Navy to become an Ontario Provincial Police officer in Perth ON. David and family were stationed in many municipalities in NW ON including Kenora, Ignace, Thunder Bay, and Marathon. He enjoyed an illustrious and respected career in the OPP and eventually served on the Board of Directors for the Ontario Provincial Police Association for many years until his retirement in 1985. Over the years Digger worked constantly to give back to the community: Lions Club, Palliative Care Volunteer, Canadian Red Cross donor, multiple suicide prevention hotlines, the Campbell River Soup Kitchen, Senior Peer Counseling in the Comox Valley and avidly served in the Anglican Church of choice in whichever community he was in. Digger had a great sense of humour, a huge love of his family and church and spent many many hours academically challenging himself. He loved boating on Lake Superior, he loved fishing with friends. He loved “retirement” and most recently since his move to Fanny Bay, became involved in his lifelong dream of woodcarving with the Royston Woodcarvers. Digger had the ability to attract lost souls and as such represented a father figure for many or the people he met. He was gregarious, a great public speaker and loved a “little wine for thy stomach’s sake”. Digger was diagnosed with lung cancer a year and a half ago and with the help of his well respected doctor, Marcus Langhans was able to manage his life right to his last breath. His family would like to sincerely thank all of the community of the Comox Valley nurses and caregivers (VIHA & St Joseph’s General Hospital and the Canadian Red Cross) as well as Veteran’s Affairs for making his life and those of his foremost caregivers as comfortable and pleasant as humanly possible to the very end. The family will hold a celebration of Digger’s life at the Comox Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (upstairs) from 1-4 pm on Saturday, June 29th. In lieu of flowers Digger’s family would like to request that people remember him with happiness and write a letter to your own respective Members of Parliament to outline the true need for a real palliative care/hospice facility in the Comox Valley as he believed avidly that death as life should be about choices.

LAND OF PLENTY
A History of the Comox District
Infantry History Continued from June 20, 2013
Training now began in earnest. With the severity of winter passed, it would have been hard to find a healthier spot for the location of training camp. Practically surrounded by the sea, swept by the four winds of heaven, with a dry sandy soil, the Spit proved up on all that its advocates had had to say for it. There was no recreation except what we could make for ourselves. The people of Comox and Courtenay, though they must have benefited enormously from the presence of a battalion in their midst, failed to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to men of enterprise and offered nothing in the way of evening entertainment. Time hung heavily after the day’s work was done, and even the proverbial mischief which Satan is popularly credited with having on tap for idle hands seldom materialized. A walk to Comox after supper, a drink at The Lorne, another at The Elk – perhaps more, not likely less – and then home by our own little launch The Joan … and the evening’s amusements were exhausted, save for cards and prayer meetings, which usually went on simultaneously in the big mess hall. Colonel Warden’s frequent visits to Comox were a never-ending source of joy to the men assembled there. No matter where he had been, he always returned with a telegram which he had received just before reaching camp. He would have the battalion formed up on parade and after calling it to attention he would invariably start by saying “I have just received a telegram,” and then would follow an optimistic message which tended to prove infallibly that
within an incredibly short time we should be in France. These telegrams became the subject of ribald jests, and after parade the regular slogan was “Come on, boys, whip round for another 10 cents apiece; it’s time we got some more hay for the Colonel’s bull.” But we loved those cheering messages all the same, no matter whence they materialized, and when all is said and done the Colonel did actually get the battalion over to France within five months from mobilization, which was some record. The DOC, Colonel Ogilvy, was coming to inspect us, and on his decision would depend our immediate future. He came, he saw, and we conquered. The fiat went forth that the 102nd Battalion would proceed overseas immediately and in a bustle and rush everything was made ready, last records were compiled and inspectors satisfied. On Saturday, June 10, 1916, the battalion proceeded in full marching order, which included kit-bags and two blankets per man, across the narrow neck of sand for the last time and embarked on the S.S. Princess Charlotte for Vancouver. The Terminal City was reached at 10 p.m., and a large crowd of relatives had assembled at the station to see the last of their men and to say what was, alas, in many cases the last goodbye. At midnight the train pulled out, and the 102nd (North British Columbians) was in good truth an overseas unit. The 102nd Battalion embarked for overseas from Halifax on the Empress of Britain and sailed from that port on June 20, 1916 with HMS Drake as escort. The voyage was a nasty one. The North British Columbians
102nd Battalion marches through Comox were early recognized in Britain as being particularly well prepared and composed of the tallest, the heaviest, and the most maturely aged of any unit that had reached England. They were very quickly prepared for service in France. They were reviewed by Sir Sam Hughes, the Minister of Militia, at Bramshott in England. On August 11, 1916, the 102nd Battalion left Bramshott, England, and landed in France on the morning of August 12. Throughout the next three years, this battalion compiled a record of military service of which Comox District can ever be proud. The history of the 102nd Battalion came to a close when the Battalion Colours were deposited for posterity and safekeeping in Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver on September 22, 1919. Mr. S. (Sammy) Watson, who resides in the Comox Valley, is one of the few surviving members of the magnificent 102nd. He was taken prisoner of war and suffered much hardship during three years of incarceration. In him we find the manifestation of the spirit of the 102nd Battalion.

Multicultural society celebrating Canada Day
Living in Canada is something many take for granted, but for those who come here from other countries it is often a safe haven or a place to start a new life. Canada Day has special meaning for all
of us, but new citizens often reflect on Canada Day in a special way. Immigrating to a new country means a new life and new customs, but it also means leaving behind a country filled with traditions,
family and friends. Comox Valley Multicultural and Immigrant Support Society understands and can make the transition from an old country to a new one easier. Members include people
from all cultures and backgrounds including those whose parents or ancestors were born in Canada to those who have recently arrived. CVMISS is running an International Food Booth at Lewis
Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 1. There will also be a CVMISS float in the Canada Day parade with members walking beside it dressed in a variety of costumes from their home countries or
costumes that makes them think of being Canadian. The Tai Chi group of CVMISS will perform on the Sid Williams Theatre stage in the cultural night. In addition to Canada Day activities,

The street soccer program provides an opportunity for homeless and marginalized individuals to exercise, socialize and compete in a fun environment. The sport involves four-person teams that play on a field about 22 metres long with hockey-size nets. The public is invited to enjoy the action, cheer on the local team, and enjoy salmon burgers cooked by Phillip Gagne, chef at Breakwater Restaurant at the Kingfisher (a fundraiser to help send a local player to Poland) and the smooth grooves of DJ J-Prime.

The K’ómoks Aboriginal Journeys will embark on a spiritual, social and cultural canoe journey on July 7, 2014 from Comox to Qatuwas, Bella Bella. Qatuwas are expecting over 100 canoes with over 1,000 pullers and about 5,000 visitors to join in the opening of their new Big House. This Big House will strengthen their community now and for future generations. It will improve their quality of life, validate, give hope, a strong sense of identity, purpose and meaning. We are asking for your help in financial support so we can fund this amazing, life changing journey. For this to be possible we will need to find enough support boats, supplies and fuel. The boats will be carrying the gear, support crew and ensuring our safety. Our goal is to have our two canoes participating in this journey. Each canoe will have two crews to alternate pulling shifts. We will also have a support crew to help support the pullers. We want as many community members to go that want to because we do not want anyone to miss this amazing opportunity. We do know that this journey is not for the faint of heart. With the growing awareness of the increasing loss of our language and culture, there was a strong belief that the revival of the ocean-going canoe would be an important vessel for healing empowerment, self determination and youth and community development. We will learn about traditional ecological knowledge, and environmental stewardship in a drug and alcohol free environment. We will gain a respect for the ocean and its power, and how to work together as a team. What we learn from the mental and physical challenges while on this journey we will be able to use in our everyday lives. We would be pleased if you could contribute a cash or in-kind donation. If you like we could use your logo to acknowledge your support. For more information, contact Tina McLean at 250-3394545 (daytime) or e-mail her at tina. mclean@comoxband.ca — K’ómoks Aboriginal Journeys

Trails Alliance needs board members The Comox Valley Trails Alliance is looking for volunteers who would like to sit on the Board of Directors. “We know that there is a lot of support in the region to maintain and expand recreation trails as well as gain responsible access to trails that fall on private lands,” said organizer Genevieve Burdett in a news release. “There is, also, a growing recognition that recreation trails and areas are an economic asset to our
communities. We are looking to those that have the right skills, knowledge and influence to join us.” The Comox Valley Trails Alliance intends to work collaboratively to support the excellent work of the numerous organizations that exist in the Comox Valley. Already, the United Riders of Cumberland, Comox Valley Land Trust and Comox Valley Road Runners have offered to sit on the Board of Directors. The Shuswap Trails
Alliance has been very active, completing over 70 greenway trail projects valued at more than $1.2 million in amenity assets over the past eight years. The Comox Valley Trails Alliance is seeking up to five individuals to join the Board of Directors. Those with experience in fundraising, project management, governance, advocacy, marketing, legal, finance, and outdoor recreation are being sought specifically, though anyone
from across the Comox Valley is invited to put their name forward. Anyone interested in joining the Board of Directors is asked to submit a letter to the Comox Valley Trails Alliance outlining his or her interest and relevant experience. Letters can be emailed to cvtrails@gmail.com. Applications will be accepted until June 30. For more information visit www.comoxvalleytrails.com. — Comox Valley Trails Alliance

Highland IB students monitor Brooklyn Creek The International Baccalaureate (IB) students at Highland Secondary School have just completed a science project monitoring the health of Brooklyn Creek. “All IB science students must complete what is called the Group 4 Project,” said Ian MacLean, Highland’s IB biology teacher. “They work together on an experiment which contains aspects of chemistry, biology, and physics. Assessing the health of Brooklyn Creek, which flows by the school, allows them to do real, hands-on science, and to contribute to the community.” Highland students did a similar project back in 2000 and 2001, monitoring Brooklyn Creek over the course of two years to collect baseline data on the creek. Because of this legacy, the students were able to compare the 2000/2001 data with current findings to assess changes to the health of the stream. Students were divided into small groups, each with responsibility to collect specific data and create a presentation on the data collected and the tests used to collect it. Three sites were tested: where the creek crosses Guthrie Road, Dogwood Avnue

They monitored bacterial contamination, pH, temperature, oxygen levels, turbidity, dissolved and suspended solids, as well as ion and element concentrations,” noted Highland IB chemistry teacher Andrew Black. “One of the groups created their own technique for measuring stream flow, something that wasn’t done in the previous study. The students did some of the testing themselves. Other, more complex tasks were done by North Island Laboratories in Courtenay and

They were pleased to have two Comox town councillors, Maureen Swift and Barbara Price, present, as well as Dave Davies, a representative from DFO, and Larry Jefferson of the Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society. “It is always a joy to see a demonstration of the expertise of our young people and the
work of this Highland School group will help to improve Brooklyn Creek,” Price commented. “When we first started the Group 4 project I did not think it would be as fun as it has turned out to be. Our role in assessing the Brooklyn Creek turned out to be very important,” commented Janelle Garrett, an IB student at Highland. “I realized that by testing the Brooklyn Creek we were able to share our knowledge with people in the Valley that care about the stream health. It has made me want to keep testing the Brooklyn creek to see how the

Dramatic healing can be seen when laser light is applied to wounds such as diabetic leg ulcers, large bruises, burns and other stubborn wounds.
The same tissue healing can be felt for people suffering from arthritis, tendonitis, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, ligament issues, disc herniation, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis and post surgical recovery. “When I started looking into this technology I was impressed that there have been 2,000 scientific stud-

The theme this year is As Canadian as … so lots of red and white should be seen. The emphasis is on how the children decorate their bikes, not how their parents help, for prizes of $20, $15, $10. The highlight is that all the bikes lead the parade down Fifth Street. All the decorated bikes get to be in the parade. For those parents who do not accompany their children, please be at the CRA to pick up your kids at approximately 11:45. For those who do not decorate their bike they can compete in the Fifth Street Mile, which will start at 10 a.m., just before the parade. Chocolate medals for age categories of under 10 years, 10 to 14 years and 15 to 19

years will be awarded, as well as other great prizes. Just make sure to register at Woods Avenue and Fifth Street from 9 to 9:45 a.m. A bonus is every runner will get an exact time of how quickly they ran the mile. Many families register for this event and it is always a pleasure to see Dad or Mom and their child running together. Lewis Park is where Kids Zone will be in full swing. Special each year is the 7 Story Circus group who show how to walk on stilts, juggle, balance, etc. Courtenay Recreation will have lots of fun games with cash prizes, too. The free swim in the pool all afternoon and Bounce Mania is offered as free fun events, all in Lewis Park. And don’t forget to pick up your free bike draw ticket from Mary Savy’s booth. Every child aged five to 12 has a chance to win a new bike and helmet. This year, there are 14 bikes to be won!
While we all celebrate Canada Day, July 1, 2013, let's take a moment to reflect on what a great place Canada is, what a great place the Comox Valley is. To everyone who has supported us throughout the years, thank you for your business. To everyone in the Comox Valley, have a fun, safe Canada Day.

Art winners for the Estuary Once again the arts community has shown their support and enthusiasm in helping Project Watershed protect and restore the K’omoks Estuary. Thirty-seven artworks were submitted to Project Watershed’s Keeping It Living Art Auction and Competition which wrapped up with Elevate the Arts on June 8. The art not only raised funds but also showcased the talent of our artists and the inspiration they derive from the Estuary. It also illustrates that we all can play a part in its protection and restoration - whether it be volunteering for eelgrass planting, making estuary inspired art or contributing funds. Another fun component of the Keeping It Living Campaign is the competition. All artworks are judged by three different sets of judges (the public, the artists and the Estuary Working Group of Project Watershed) and three winners are chosen each year. This year the winners are: People’s Choice - Reaching Up
REACHING UP BY Shirley Dickie won People’s Choice.
VIEW FROM THE Air Park by Bev Byerley won Artist’s Choice. by Shirley Dickie, Artists’ Choice - View From the Air Park #66 by Bev Byerley and Keeping It Living’s Choice - Living Waters by Martha Ponting. Matha Ponting has graciously donated her winning piece to Project Watershed for next year’s campaign. Blackbird Flight by Tracy Kobus deserves special mention as it was runner-up to all three winning artworks. Project Watershed would like to congratulate this
year’s winners and thank all the artists for their time and energy in making the 2013 campaign a success. While the auction has wrapped up it is not too late to support the restoration and protection work Project Watershed is doing in the K’omoks Estuary. They are still selling limited edition art prints ($100) and art posters ($25) created from previous year’s winners as sponsorships. Full sized giclees
($1000) and art cards ($3ea/set of 4 for $10) are also available. Artworks include Bev Byerley’s View From the Airpark # 34 (only two limited edition prints remaining), Jennifer Webber’s Mingling Waters, Rena Roger’s Morning Mist and Shirley Dickie’s Blue Forest. Living Waters prints should be available before Christmas check www. keepingitliving.ca for updates. Project Watershed

Innisfree Farm hosts gathering of herb enthusiasts Gathering largest ever held in Western Canada
Innisfree Farm in Royston recently played host to an extraordinary and exciting event – the largest gathering of herbalists and herbal enthusiasts ever held in Western Canada. Celebrating 40 years of the Canadian Herbalists Association of BC, the oldest herb association in North America, and highlighting the upwelling of public interest in growing, harvesting and making herbal medicines, Innisfree farm and Harmonic Arts Botanical Dispensary created an epic event. On June 1 and 2, over 200 people thronged to Innisfree to listen to 12 speakers give 27 classes and six guided herb walks. Lectures included subjects as diverse as managing menopause naturally, making fomentations and compresses, herbal first aid and healing the gut with herbs. For the less medically inclined there was a sacred tea ceremony, a talk on subtle plant energetics and various food-themed classes like fermenting meads or making bone marrow broths. Daily yoga and Qigong, nature walks and guided walks in the apothecary (medicine) garden, as well as a full child care program rounded out the roster. Instructors included herbal legends like Terry Willard from Wild Rose College in Calgary and Ryan Drum PhD, the seaweed specialist who lives in the San Juan’s, as well as local experts including Chanchal Cabrera and Amanda Howe and almost a dozen others offering

HERBALISTS AND HERBAL enthusiasts gather at Innisfree Farm in Royston for a weekend of everything herbal. PHOTO SUBMITTED classes to suit every taste. The farm’s orchard was a sea of tents, softly glowing solar lights safely guiding people along the grassy paths at night. The brand new, food-safe kitchen was the busiest spot on the farm, with a 180 people enjoying the full meal plan. Innisfree farm chef-in-residence Joseph Forest, ably assisted by the Gourmet Girls of Cumberland, turned out spectacular volumes of delicious and healthy food featuring farm fresh produce and (of course) herbs. Breakfasts included millet and quinoa porridge with fresh and dried fruits, seeds and nut milk. Lunches included crispy fresh greens decorated with edible flowers and just har-
vested herbs. Saturday dinner featured baked wild salmon with Innisfree’s famed rhubarb chutney. There was an all-day hot herbal tea bar, plus herbal tonics and superfood elixirs served up by Harmonic Arts. The Chocolate Chaga mushroom Chai was a popular immuneboosting hit. There was even a dance on Saturday night with Vancouver musician and social activist, Buckman Coe. O r g a n i z e r s Chanchal Cabrera (Innisfree Farm) and Yarrow Willard (Harmonic Arts) were happily surprised by their success. “We put this together in less than three months with no advertising, just word of mouth, and hoped for 50 or 60 people” says Chanchal. “It was

clearly an event whose time had come, there are so many people waking up now to the value and importance of herbal medicine. We were thrilled to get such a huge response and we certainly hope to do it again in two years’ time.” The Canadian Herbalists Association of BC sponsored a forum at the gathering to present its work and to discuss some of the legal and regulatory issues facing herbalists in Canada today. As well, the association’s annual general meeting was hosted on Sunday morning with presentations by committee chairs and financial reports. Three new board members were elected and a new president appointed. The association is the self-

TOKYO – Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki became a household name in North America only after writing and directing Spirited Away, which won the 2002 Oscar for best animated feature film. At a time when computers had been taking over Western animation, it introduced a new generation of fans to the traditional, handcrafted art. Equally quaint were the worlds depicted in Miyazaki’s films: worlds of valves, steam and clockworks, of airships, trams and bi-planes, with a little magic and a lot of charm thrown in. Much of this nostalgia has been captured in three dimensions at the highly successful Ghibli Museum, in the Tokyo suburb of Mitaka, and which celebrates its 10th birthday in 2011. The museum itself is a single building in bright cartoon colours intended to be the antithesis to the average movie studio theme park: cosy and intimate rather than grand or spectacular. There are no rides, but nor is this the dull and static collection of props and posters common to some TV or movie-derived touring exhibitions. The museum’s motto is, “Let’s lose our way, together,” and a sequence of hands-on experiences specifically designed for children is tucked inside the dolls’ house of a building with its labyrinth of bridges, balconies and spiral staircases that recall the style of interiors seen in Miyazaki’s films without actually reproducing them. Even for children unfamiliar with Totoro or Ponyo this is a delight.

Pigeon racing a dying hobby Man’s oldest companion is a bird that needs no introduction even though it is shunned by many. When we think of a pigeon it is often with negative thoughts as they tend to be a dirty nuisance. Records dating back to ancient Roman and Egyptian times show that pigeons were an important food source, the young birds or ‘squabs’ were a delicacy. Nothing was wasted especially their high nitrogen waste that was used to fertilize their crops. It was evident to these ancient people that the pigeons were easily tamed and could also be trained to complete tasks. They discovered the pigeon’s natural instinct to return to their home if they were taken to a different location, this talent was then fine tuned and they became carrier pigeons delivering messages to other towns. Distances that would normally take weeks to cover on foot now could be reached in a matter of days. Carrier pigeons continued to be used as delivery birds in more modern times and were invaluable in times of conflict where they were sent to deliver sensitive, secret material. Homing pigeons are still used today, their homing ability now has a new purpose as they have become racing pigeons, a hobby and

sport that can see them cover vast distances. How can they find their way home from a location they have never been to? This is a never ending question and has many theories, some have been studied and seem factual but there are no fast answers and new ideas abound. Young pigeons are strongly imprinted on their lofts or homes soon after hatching; they are then taken to a new location and released to find their way home. Gradually the distances are increased until they can meet the required distance of the race. To navigate their way home the pigeons use a combination of magnetic poles, astronomic and landmark location, and olfactory location (sense of smell). The latter seems farfetched but in one study the birds had the olfactory nerve severed and they failed to return home. Pigeon racing has become a huge sport in Asian countries and also a lucrative one where they bet on the race results; if the birds fail to return they are usually deemed a failure and abandoned. In this pigeon’s case its navigational skills were rewarded for

covering thousands of miles. After quarantine and much paper work, the trans-Pacific flier was returned to Japan by more conventional means, namely a plane. Last month MARS encountered another ‘lost pigeon,’ once again the bird had an epic journey. The pigeon was thin and emaciated and loaded with a parasite that attacks weakened birds. Following wildlife protocol the pigeon spent the month in isolation at MARS recovering from its ordeal and shedding the parasites; gradu-
ally its strength and weight returned to normal. The bands on the pigeon’s legs revealed that it was Japanese, one band was a magnetic chip that recorded departure and arrival time back to the loft during race day, the other leg had information about the owner with a cell phone number. Through a friend of one of our volunteers who is living in Japan we managed to contact the owner of the pigeon who indicated he did not want to go to the See HOMING, A27

Nine new faces in cabinet Homing pigeons still used today There are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require postsecondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this
Politics
Tom
Fletcher Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetlekill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.directed environmental movement continues to
target Canadian industries. Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

expense of shipping the bird home. After being declared a migratory bird the pigeon was able to stay in Canada and was adopted by Doug Chadwick, president of the Nanaimo racing pigeon club. Doug indicated he would use the pigeon as a breeding pigeon and may at some time race it again.
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
When asked about the status of racing clubs and pigeon fanciers Doug replied that unfortunately this is a dying hobby. Raising and racing pigeons requires a large piece of property to house the birds (has 130); they are also high maintenance taking a lot of patience and training. Unfortunately he said today’s young people are more interested
in high tech hobbies; interestingly, enough homing pigeons in my mind are skilled GPS technicians. On another note we continue to get numerous calls about orphaned fawns. Most have been kidnapped. Please stay away from the fawns and call us to report the location. A doe will not come back to her fawn
if half the neighbourhood is watching. To report injured or presumed orphaned wildlife please call 1-800-304-9968. For other calls 250-3372021 or visit www. wingtips.org.

During Membership Appreciation Month in March, the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce staff and board of directors made a determined effort to engage in conversation with as many of their members as possible. Many local business people expressed frustration with the lack of support from local people. But, during these conversations, it soon became clear that the frustration wasn’t only about encouraging people to buy from local businesses. It wasn’t just about shopping in downtown Courtenay, Comox or Cumberland or at the local malls.

I WOULD LIKE to send our heartfelt
thanks and appreciation to the staff and volunteer Ken at the Cancer Unit at St Joseph’s hospital. Having ‘visited’ with them four weeks out of every five for the last 10 months, we have nothing but affection and gratitude for their caring ways, compassion, support, knowledge and humour shown every time we were there. They quelled our fears, answered our endless questions and concerns and always had time to pass a little social time with us as well. Also to the lab staff who “came running” when called and did their job in an efficient and pleasant manner. All the hospital personnel made a stressful situation much more bearable and, at times, even fun! We are so blessed to have this marvellous facility at our doorstep.
I AM SO thrilled to write this note
of appreciation to Van Isle Vet , Dr. Renooy and all of his fabulous staff. Over the 15 or so years I’ve gone there for my animals, they have consistently gone way beyond in professional service, care and compassion to me and my furry family members. This last week they did something so wonderful (yet confidential) that blessed me and my household tremendously! This business is in the business of providing exceptional care and service to us and I think they deserve great, enthusiastic accolades! Five paws up for you guys at Van Isle. We love you at my home and want everyone to know it!

hall as they do many times in a year but lack the necessary parking for attendees. With all the hue and cry about the gas station having a problem with traffic coming and going at least the gas station has proper lanes to enter and exit. Most functions at the Native hall have people parking along Comox Road on both sides and people just wander out and cross where ever. With the vacant land alongside the hall I am sure some parking could be utilized and if it is someone’s private property, share the wealth, but get parking off the road.
MANY THANKS AND a bouquet to the Comox Valley Classic Cruisers who gave of their time to drive the graduates of Highland Secondary School on June 1 around the Town of Comox. To ride on graduation day in those beautiful classic cruisers will be something for them to remember. TOO MANY DRIVERS in the Comox Valley are using the white line in parking lots as just a rough guide instead of a designated space into which they are supposed to keep within. Even worse are those who intentionally park their cars on a 45 degree angle taking up to three or even four stalls just to protect the side of their vehicle If you’re that concerned about the car, leave it at home. TO THE GENTLEMAN who rescued my little dog, Lucy, running free along a busy street, after escaping from the grooming salon, a massive THANK YOU and enduring gratitude. You did not leave your name, so I cannot get in touch, but I owe you, big time. The groomers are most grateful too. The owner called me after you returned her, trying to figure out how she escaped, it had never happened in

I AM A RETIRED mining engineer and corporate securities lawyer. I note the proposed Raven coal project owned by Compliance Energy Corp. In my youth, I thought that mining and the environment could live together. Mining companies just had to spend more money to ensure there was minimal or no pollution and a mine site had to be restored, to the extent possible, to a natural state after mining was completed. I am no longer sure this is true. There are many things a mining company, even if it tries its best, cannot control. There is also the corporate profit motive which drives companies to cut whatever corners they can to increase revenue. Compliance owns the underground Raven coal deposit with some 72 million tonnes of measured and indicated reserves and 59 million tonnes of inferred reserves. The open pit Bear coal mine has some five million tonnes of measured reserves. Compliance literature describes its coal of a high volatile A bituminous grade. Coal has three grades, going from the softest that gives less heat, lignite, to bituminous and high grade anthracite coal. All coal has chemical and hydrocarbon impurities. There is no such thing as “pure” coal. The regional district will not benefit economically because the Raven project lies outside its boundaries. All mines, let alone coal mines, pollute. The question is to what degree. This is why there is an environmental assessment process and the opportunity for public comment. Compliance, of course, wants its mine to be producing as soon as possible to start making money. I can find no comment on the fact a high volatile coal will release polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PACs?).

These compounds are some eight to 18 times more carcinogenic than arsenic and other heavy metals. As with all pollutants, a small amount of contamination can be ignored. If the concentration of PACs is higher, there is cause for concern. PACs are a major problem in the Alberta tar sands. The map of the Comox area shows the Raven deposit lies on the eastern side of the Vancouver Island watershed and is located from the Comox, Fanny Bay area in the north past Denman Island in the south. The mine will have waste dumps where rock with no economic value will be dumped and tailings ponds where the waste water and rock from the washing and upgrading of the coal will be dumped. In addition to the release of PACs, problems with tailings ponds involve leakage of acid waters and of heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium and lead. Engineers design tailings ponds to prevent leakage. A guarantee there will be no leakage is impossible to give. Most of the literature I have seen on the Raven project involves the disruption that will be caused by trucks carrying coal along the road to Port Alberni. I suggest a little dust and road congestion is nothing compared to the poisoning of the environment by acid drainage and heavy metals. Much more work is required to determine if the mine should receive an environmental approval. What will Compliance do when the first Comox child gets tumours or brain seizures from lead, mercury or other heavy metal poisoning? Tell us it is not their fault. It has been in the water all the time.

Long weekend holiday relief The Canadian dollar is sinking. Gas prices have been going up for the past month. Banks are making noise about raising mortgage rates. The housing market is cooling. The weather seems changeable on the hour. It must be summer. This coming Canada Day holiday weekend is the traditional start of vacation season. Time to get away from it all. And with the ever-increasing gloom and doom that seems to drain our optimism and energy at a quickening pace, it’s never been more imperative to tune out and step back. At least for a stretch. Getting away from the workplace, turning down the busyness of our lives is an important change to routine. It reduces anxiety and stress, allows us a chance to recharge, maybe even refocus. Holidays make for happier, more motivated employees. But Canadian holiday entitlements lag behind those enjoyed by workers in many other countries. We get a minimum of 10 working days off depending on the province and tenure of employment. That’s supplemented by five-10 public statutory holidays, like Canada Day. Australian workers get 20 working days off, plus 10 paid public holidays. Brazilians enjoy 22 working days off, plus a 33 percent premium on top of their regular pay. Workers in Denmark get 25 work days off plus an additional nine public holidays. German workers get four weeks off plus nine13 public holidays. In Finland, the minimum mandated holiday time is 30 days. Even workers in developing countries like India are granted 12 work days a year for holiday. But in the United States there’s absolutely no legal provision for mandated holiday time. Employees are completely at the mercy of their employer. Canadians may not feel we get enough holiday, but at least we get something. Burnaby NewsLeader

Summer road construction is in full force around the Comox Valley, and drivers need to be constantly reminded to slow down around flaggers and construction sites.
Compost mix questioned Dear editor, Biosolids are our waste, our poo, and also all that is disposed of in the sewer. Biosolids a.k.a sewage sludge is now commonly recycled into compost. In the last 20 years, municipalities in Canada and the U S. have switched from paying to dispose of the waste to recycling it, mixing it with sawdust and wood chips and composting and selling it to gardeners and farmers. Biosolids are organic matter — by definition. They are used as a soil amendment. Increased organic matter improves the soil to hold more water (very good in the summer) and to increase biodiversity, fertility, and plant growth. As a fertilizer they provide essential micronutrients (zinc, copper and iron) and much macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) that increase vegetation growth and productivity. They provide a slow release source of nutrients that can be available to the plants for years. The slow release prevents leaching of excess nutrients and minimize the contamination of ground and surface water. Biosolids suppress plant diseases and pests. They facilitate reforestation, wetlands restoration, and habitat revitalization by amending marginal and contaminated soils. They remediate soils contaminated by hazardous waste. Much agricultural soil has lost half or more of its organic matter content in the age of chemical agriculture. So biosolids remediate the degraded soil and promote biodiversity and as a bonus, sequester carbon in the soil. The Environmental Protection Agency in the U.S. estimates cost savings of more than 50 per cent over conventional remediation technologies. There is, however, a muddle
SKYROCKET COMPOST is created from wood chips mixed with biosolids and sold in the Comox Valley. PHOTO SUBMITTED with our use of the sewer system. If biosolids were only composted poo, there would be no problem. After all, the Chinese and most other cultures have been using humanure for thousands of years. The problem is that as well as collecting poo, the sewers drain industrial and commercial wastes and hospitals and everything else. It all goes in the mix. And with that come all kind of synthetic molecules. Fire retardants, plasticizers, pharmaceuticals of all sorts — steroids, hormone and chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, household products, and more. Some of these are persistent organic pollutants which do not decompose in the wastewater treatment plant, concentrating instead in the biosolids. Admittedly, they are normally at low concentrations but in the absence of comprehensive and independent testing of the biosolids to ensure safety and efficacy, the National Academy of Sciences in the U.S. has issued a recent warning, and the EPA no longer promotes the use of biosolids in agriculture. There are also low levels of heavy metals in biosolids. They are well regulated, tested for
each batch, and the allowable levels are quite low (in parts per million, like most pesticides). But heavy metals are immobilized and accumulate in the soil and in the plants, raising questions about the long term effect on soil fertility and human health. So here we are, with this conundrum. Biosolids are a wonderful way of recycling our waste but they are generally contaminated with low levels of nasty stuff. And like the pesticides, it becomes a matter of choice. You use them because they are cheap and efficient or you avoid them like the pest. Dr. Thierry Vrain Courtenay

OPINION
www.comoxvalleyrecord.com
CF stewardship questioned his peacetime command? Every dollar that this base pumps into our community, is sucked out of a taxpayer somewhere. It seems like our local brass takes this for granted, just as they do the peace of our Valley, and the value of lead and fine particulate-free air. Never one to be involved in folly, perhaps the colonel could set his troops on English holly, and maybe this time the troops could be timelier in cleaning up than they did with their Scottish broom. Environmental steward? What kind of environmental steward has, as the federal Auditor General called some of them, barely operational aircraft, flying incessant circles over residential areas, including the new hospital site in Courtenay, for hours at a time? Now the colonel’s keeping his majors busy selling us an air show that we’re already paying for. Prime Minister Harper says he wants more military “teeth than tail,” yet ground forces are cut and air shows, broom busting, and cadet summer camps prevail. Fomenting an idling, belching, traffic jam, and shutting down most of the businesses on the Comox peninsula and Ryan Road for a possible $500,000 of cream, could only be a colonel, a major, or a minor bureaucrat’s dream, or some kind of sham?
Environmental steward? What kind of environmental steward has his own avgas fuel tank farm, sponsors air shows and teaches the leaders of tomorrow activities like flying single engine, piston driven, recreational airplanes, that pollute like yesterday? Perhaps it takes a glider and tow plane to get above the Valley’s smog and get a good glimpse of our shrinking glaciers? The C02 that these planes spew, not to mention the lead, makes a mockery of ‘environmental stewardship’ and makes me wonder how our forces are led. Are the military assets, the Snowbirds, the glider tow planes and demonstration teams of Stephen Harper’s toothless tail really going to prevail over the obvious truth, that an environmental steward wouldn’t play with frivolous toys, that are expensive, wildly obsolete, ‘barely operational’ and wantonly pollute. Before the Mexican Gulf oil-spewing geyser that we witnessed on our TVs, British Petroleum was branding itself as ‘beyond petroleum.’ CFB Comox’s commander claiming the Comox Valley’s biggest polluter to be an ‘environmental steward’ is like oil giant BP’s claims, simply beyond belief.

Dear editor, I was going to work down Ryan Road this morning, at the speed limit, and without a dog on my lap, or a breakfast tater treat sizzling between my short clad thigh, and a reflective vinyl seat. In my motorcycle-induced, concentrated state, of utter non-distraction, I guess my mind was wandering, and pondering the results of the Canadian Forces latest, counter-insurgent, anti-broom action. Lining the road on each side of me, pushed aside and piled like cordwood was a blackening Babi-Yar of supposedly, eradicated invasive, and I suspect only slightly distracted, insurgent Scottish broom. ‘Stewards of the environment,’ your paper quoted the base commanding colonel having said, as he volunteered his paid base staff for eight hours of a federally-funded, public relations, make-work project, to keep his peacetime army busy, and perhaps head off, the inevitable budget cuts coming up ahead? Cutting $2.9 billion, as the federal government plans to do from the ministry of defence budget this year, means generals, colonels, and majors making cuts of one million dollars in 2,900 different places; is it any wonder that our colonel is trying so hard to make busy

that off. However, here is a problem I have with it, the issue of whether this is a wise use of public money notwithstanding. If it comes to pass, we would end up with a magnificent $3 million bridge for cyclists and pedestrians, beside a bridge for vehicles (which accommodates cyclists and pedestrians) that nobody can come up with the
money to even paint. All power to the proponents, but to me it would seem just a bit incongruous to have this tremendous tribute to timber frame construction next to that sorry sad sight of a steel structure right in the middle of downtown Comox Valley. Do you know what I’m saying? Erik Eriksson Courtenay
Dear editor, I am a home owner and resident of the Little River area. I understand that the placement of benches and tables at the end of Mayfair Road and the management of this area for the well-being of the local community still seems to be a point of contention with individuals pressuring MOTI for fundamental changes to this beach access area. Those benches and tables form the meeting place for a small number of older and not so old, residents in this small community. They are not there all day but come and go, constituents and numbers vary throughout the day. As a psychiatrist, I know firsthand the tragedy of lonely seniors who don’t know their neighbours and never get out of the house. The beach is not suitable as some are of limited mobility and it is rocky. These local residents are the ones who pick up the trash left by those who don’t live here; they provide a garbage can for trash and other deposits. This tiny convening area is a charming accident and a goal of community planners everywhere, often contrived and unsuccessful, of creating a centre where people can meet their neighbours. Here we have an example of a naturally formed and consistently well utilized and beneficial gather-
ing place. If some of the impetus behind the question of whether the meeting place be removed, is the resident next to the access, I would not be surprised. The owner, and I think part-time resident, is responsible for reducing the parking at the beach access, planting trees that will obstruct neighbouring views, building a house that was overheight, and generally being as lacking in community spirit as it is humanly possible. Those are however, matters over which the MOTI has either no jurisdiction or no complaint. If the seating is replaced I suspect it may not be accompanied with the same sense of responsibility and pride; it would, in my opinion, be the second best option. Replacement as a way to reduce seating would be very undesirable and indicate a very negative stance toward the community as a whole by the MOTI. The current arrangement functions well. I hope that you listen to the proponents on this worthwhile subject and let the majority keep this little gem in Little River, as long as it is working. In the future as time and residential change ensues, perhaps it will go away because, sadly, these things happen. Lauren Lupton Little River

Collector licence plates
It’s show and shine season and the carefully maintained and restored older vehicles are out for our appreciation. I watched one vehicle from the early 50’s pass by me the other day and I noticed that it was equipped with a centre brake light and angel eyes in the headlights. It also sported a collector licence plate and that got me to thinking, were either of the two ‘enhancements’ that I noticed allowed on a collector plated vehicle? My understanding of vehicles that displayed collector licence plates was not extensive, but I knew that they were for the pleasure use of motorcycles, cars and light trucks and very few modifications from stock were allowed. To satisfy my curiosity, I visited ICBC’s website. I found that I was right about the use restrictions, but the list of allowable updates was

a lot longer than I would have thought. Safety upgrades such as disc brakes, stainless steel brake lines, seat-belts and a theft alarm system are allowed. Obvious ride height changes, non-era correct paint, sound system and colour anodized engine dress up kits are not. For more extensive information on what is and isn’t allowed on a collector plated vehicle, contact ICBC’s specialty licensing department. Making nonapproved modifications after obtaining collector licence plates or mis-using them for business or to and from work may result in loss of collector status and the privileges that

COURTENAY, B.C.
‘Musical theatre boot camp’ enters 45th year Paula Wild Record Arts
“CYMC has been one of the best experiences of my life!” wrote Sienna Orbnell. “I learned SO much it is insane. And I’ve made new friends and met people I’ll never forget.” Those are the types of comments Comox Valley Youth Music Centre receives from students at the end of each season. Now in its 45th year, B.C.’s longest running summer music camp kicks off the 2013 session Saturday and runs until July 21. Originally a retreat for the Vancouver Junior Symphony, CYMC has earned a reputation as a great place for young musicians to focus on music full time, meet others who share their passion and learn from professional musicians. And CYMC is definitely a success. Alumni include Diana Krall, Ingrid Jensen, Sarah Hagen and others who have achieved recognition in the music industry. This year approximately 100 students, ranging in age from 13 to 18, will attend the summer music school to study the disciplines of classical, jazz and musical theatre. A little less than half are from the Comox Valley with the rest travelling from Alberta, Saskatchewan and other parts of B.C. “Many students return year after year,” says CYMC executive director Kate Ramsey. “CYMC offers a unique experience by taking students away from their dayto-day life and immersing them in music for two to three weeks at a time. And many of our faculty carry on the tradition by coming back to teach. The faculty’s dedication and skill is a very special part of the equation that instills and increases the students’ love of music.” Classes take place at Mark Isfeld Secondary which also serves as a dorm for students who live outside the area. “The initial set up is sort of like the circus coming to town,” says Ramsey. “On the 28th we load all the camping gear and equipment into a big truck and take it to the
CYMC STUDENTS STUDY classical, jazz and musical theatre. school so we’re fully prepared for the students the next day. And then it’s a whirlwind of activity for the next three weeks. “The organization ahead of time is enormous – planning the meals and having a grocery plan in place to feed students and faculty is really important,” she adds. “If the food’s good, everyone’s happy.” In addition to group classes, students can sign up for individual lessons and master classes in ensemble work. “There are some long days, especially for those in musical theatre,” acknowledges Ramsey. “They work from 9 to 5 and then go back for rehearsals in the

evening. One student called it ‘musical theatre boot camp.’ But Lori Mazey, as well as Heather (Burns) and Lindsay (Sterk), are so on fire and good at what they do, that the kids pick up on that energy.” “Excellent teachers, plenty of experience for future musicians, and a place that many youth seek but rarely find; somewhere where they can immerse themselves in classical music with others their own age,” Collin Lloyd wrote about his experience in last year’s instrumental program. But it’s not all music; students also have an opportunity to explore all the Comox Valley has to offer with trips to the lake,
kayak outings and more. And an open admissions policy means that any student with an interest, no matter what their experience, is accepted. For many, performing in student concerts and alongside the faculty is a highlight. “Our daughter gained so much confidence that she spent September though May playing with the Northern Orchestra concluding their concert schedule. It was a great year for her, in no small part due to your program,” wrote Gareth Gammon. Volunteers from the community are a mainstay of smooth operations at CYMC. “We can always use help,” says Ramsey,
“especially with the musical theatre program where so much time is required in backstage production. Volunteers can also pick students up at the airport, work the front of house at concerts and assist with a multitude of other odd jobs.” Most 2013 concerts will take place at Mark Isfeld, with a few at North Island College’s Stan Hagen Theatre, the Filberg Heritage Park mainstage and Simms Park. This year’s musical theatre production, Shrek The Musical, will be performed at the Sid Williams Theatre. For more information on concerts or volunteering, visit www. cymc.ca or call (250) 338-7463.

He performs with Corwin Fox Thursday at Denman Island’s Earth Club and 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Zocalo Cafe & Gallery in Courtenay. The tour is in support of Ghost Lights’ debut EP, Saltwater. The lush instrumentation and lyrical themes centred on Cebuliak’s intense experiences in the wilderness, which included solitary fasts, remote paddling journeys and revelatory visions. Onstage, his trance-like demeanor, dynamics, rich poetry and active, jazz-heavy guitar work define Ghost Lights.
THE SID ish Sea. Comox Valley Naturalists have been invited to produce the show, to unite the community around its long-standing naturalist tradition which began in the 1920s with the work of celebrated ornithologists and artists such as Alan Brooks and Mack Laing. The growing interest in nature and our rich history brings thousands of visitors
each year. This ‘land of plenty’ and spectacular visual richness has much to be thankful for this Canada Day. The show, entitled Comox Valley Nature, From Mountains to Seashore, was produced by Terry Thormin with help from Jennifer and Robin Harrison. It highlights the natural beauty of the Comox Valley and its wildlife. It is an invitation to the public to renew your acquaintance with the rich diversity
of the landscape about us. The non-profit CVN has weekly activities for people of all ages and walks of life. It supports specialized groups such as birding and botany which have separate monthly activities. Founded in 1966, it is one of the oldest environmental societies on the North Island.

Exhibit a convergance of art, politics
From major renovations and special exhibitions to new displays, artifacts and signage, there is something new for visitors at every turn at the Cumberland Museum and Archives. On display until July 5 is a special IWW (Industrial Workers of
the World) art exhibit in the Labour History Hall of the museum. The IWW, also known as the Wobblies, have pressed for workers rights around the world. From mines and cut blocks, to ships and railways, to offices and coffee shops, the IWW welcomes and stands
in solidarity with all workers. In 2005, the artwork was collected to celebrate 100 years of the IWW. The posters and print are a stunning convergence of art and politics. Summer also features a Village Music History Project that includes vintage record
players, instruments and a talking machine that plays Edison cylinder records. These precursors to flat records and their players were mass marketed starting in the late-1880s. Cumberland’s music history also includes a folk festival that ran for many years and involved participants from the diverse cultural communities in the area. Music, dance, food and other traditions were celebrated as part of a civic event. Also on display is Mrs. Finch’s old piano. Mrs. Finch was a well loved music teacher who taught countless piano students in Cumberland. She was part of creating the musical character of the Village that lives on today. Museum visitors will notice new signage and updated exhibits for the Japanese and Chinatown communities, Women’s History,
Newspaper History and Business History. New wood walls have been constructed on both levels to provide an authentic looking backdrop for artifacts and images. Both floors have been painted by volunteers. “The Cumberland Museum is a living space that is constantly changing and evolving,” says museum board interim chair Brian Charlton. “Our staff have put in an incredible amount of work over the past few years and the result is very exciting. We are looking forward to all the new signs and exhibits that are scheduled to appear over the next year.” The museum is open Monday to Saturday until July 2, and seven days a week from 9 a.m - 5 p.m. to Labour Day Weekend. www.cumberlandmuseum.ca

Puzzling… Fun by the Numbers: Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

THE HOLM FAMILY celebrates the completion of the 5th Street Mile, run every year on July 1 in downtown Courtenay.
5th Street Mile fun for one and all Canada Day 2013 is imminent. Ahead of the parade, as usual, will be the 5th Street Mile. Organized by the Comox Valley Road Runners and sponsored by “the Joint” Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, this run is an active start to a festive day. The festivities this year are dedicated to the things that make us Canadian, and more than 200 participants are expected to participate in the one-mile journey down the main street of Courtenay. The four-minute mile was officially broken in 1954 by British runner Roger Bannister in England and then repeated two months later at the Commonwealth Games in Vancouver. Our 5th Street Mile will never be an official mile for many reasons, mainly because it

is downhill for most of its distance. Still, running any mile in under four minutes is the business of Olympic hopefuls who, despite our metric system, still consider this a benchmark in their running career. The Courtenay mile has been conquered three times in the past, by the same person, our local Olympian Cam Levins. Other athletes have come respectfully close to winning the new runners from Extreme Runners, but this is not a situation where close counts.
So, on Canada Day, starting at 10 a.m. at the corner of 5th and Woods, over 200 runners will line up to accept this traditional Courtenay challenge. Some will run for the gold, most will run or walk for the sheer fun of it. All along the way will be a cheering crowd and at the end, credit for a job well done in the form of cookies and watermelon donated by Thrifty Foods and Quality Foods. There are also prizes for first, second and third in four age categories as well as many random fin-
ish prizes (you could win a prize for placing 87th!) generously donated by our downtown merchants. Everyone wins when everyone does their best. That’s “As Canadian as ....” we are! Concerned parents should note that, contrary to the wording on the 5th Street Mile posters, strollers are welcome to participate in this event. However, for safety reasons, they will be started slightly behind the runners and asked not to race. Registration is free and takes place at the corner of 5th and Woods. Registration opens at 9 a.m. and the event blasts off at 10 a.m. precisely. So put on your red and whites and join in the fun. You will only regret it if you don’t! – Comox Valley Road Runners

The Award of Merit is presented to individuals in recognition of contributions to soccer, during a period of 10 or more years as a player, manager, coach, official, or administrator at the club/league or district level. The award was formally presented on June 15 at BC Place, where McLeod joined other provincial award recipients at a Whitecaps vs. New England Revolution match. McLeod is a UISA director, chair UISA VIPL, head coach of CVUSC Crush and assistant coach of the VIPL1998 Girls Rip-
tide. As a kid from the Prairies growing up in rural Saskatchewan, McLeod’s first sport was hockey; his love of soccer developed later in life, and he was first bitten when he began coaching his eldest daughter’s soccer team in Winnipeg. In 2002, he and his family were posted to the Comox Valley, and since then, he has been involved in soccer, non-stop, as a coach, volunteer, and recreational player. McLeod has spent countless hours volunteering in youth soccer in the Upper Island. He started by coaching his youngest daughter, Mackenzie, and her house team in the Comox Valley United Soccer Club (CVUSC)
DARRIN MCLEOD OF the Comox Valley receives the Award of Merit from BC Soccer president Roger Barnes. and after a few years, began co-coaching his eldest daughter, Kiersten, and her Rep team, the CVUSC Red Tide. In 2008, he gradu-
ated to head coach of Mackenzie’s U12G Rep team, the CVUSC Crimson Crush. In 2009, both the Red Tide and the Crush attended the BCSA Provincial
B-Cup Championships in North Vancouver; the Red Tide were the bronze medal winners in the U17G division and the Crush were provincial champions at U13G. His passion for soccer is not only on the field; both CVUSC and the Upper Island Soccer Association (UISA) utilized McLeod’s organizational skills, vision, and strong work ethic. He held roles as VP of House and VP of Development on the CVUSC executive from 2006 to 2009. In 2009, he left CVUSC to become a UISA Director. While on the UISA executive, McLeod was involved in the administration, scheduling and running of the UISA
League, spearheaded the Fireball Futsal Festival and developed policy within UISA. He also held the role of chair from 2011 to 2012. McLeod was instrumental in the development of the Vancouver Island Premier League (VIPL), an A-Cup level inter-district league jointly run by UISA and Lower Island Soccer Association. In 2012, McLeod left the UISA executive to further focus on his own coaching development. “Darrin has an incredible passion for the game of soccer. He is passionate not only about coaching, but about improving the leagues and the organization that we play within,” says Mike
Oldale, assistant coach of the CVUSC Crush and head coach of the VIPL 1998G Riptide. Most recently, McLeod is the chair of the UISA VIPL committee, a member of the VIPL Riptide regional steering committee, and has just completed his B Provincial coaching qualifications. On the field, he is the head coach to the CVUSC Crush as well as the assistant coach of the VIPL 1998G Riptide team. When he is not coaching, he and his daughters can often be found playing futsal at the neighbourhood school gym or on the pitch playing 7-aside in the local spring league. – Upper Island Riptide

The Power to Surprise
Terry Guest Contributor
The Bomber car class staged their best main event of the year Saturday night at Saratoga Speedway. Bomber points leader #72 Stewart Lee continued his winning ways. After capturing their second heat, Lee battled #97 Mike Dionne for all 25 laps of the main. #46 Travis Stevenson, who was racing a borrowed car, led the first 14 laps until Dionne and Lee both got by him. Lee and Dionne then raced side by side for the remaining 10 laps, with Lee barely edging out Dionne to take his third straight main event win. Stevenson held off the rest of the field to take third place. Accompanying the Bombers were the I.M.C.A Modifieds, Dwarf cars and the Motorcycles. In the I.M.C.A Modified division, #48 Rob Ryan dominated the field, winning both heats and leading all 15 laps of their feature race to sweep all three races. A new driver named Keegan surprised everybody by winning the first two heats In the Motorcycle class. T:11"

Local waters place to be for long weekend fishing I
t is common practice to plan on travelling over long holiday weekends to get some extended time at favourite fishing destinations. May I suggest there in no need to travel this weekend to get to distant destinations when we are enjoying some of the best saltwater fishing in local waters that we have had for years. Local chinook salmon fishing has been excellent for the past several weeks. There seems to be a major diversion of salmon down the inside waters this season – let’s enjoy the bounty. Before we get into details about where to try your luck I would like to suggest some interesting timing of tides and Solunar tables that offer enriched opportunities to be on the water when the bite may be at its most active. Case in point – On Saturday, June 29 there is a high slack of approximately 11feet at 11 a.m. At about the same time the Solunar tables show a major period at 11:30 a.m. Whether or not you follow these events, if I were fishing on this day I would try to be on the grounds actively fishing during these natural tidal movements and Solunar pulses that seem to trigger feeding for fish and wildlife. Similar conditions occur throughout the weekend. Also when checking tides for the weekend you will note there are no extreme highs or lows. This means all ramps will be usable throughout the weekend and there should be no major tidal currents. Sometimes it would be nice to be in several locations at the same time – hence if you wonder why I have

not been fishing local salmon it is because I have been elsewhere – a situation I shall try to correct in the coming days. The number one hot spot in local waters is the Kitty Coleman Hump. It has been consistently producing good catches of chinook in the 10- to 30-pound range. A fair number of these fish are white fleshed that indicates they are probably lower Fraser River Stocks. To the north, Campbell River has also been producing good numbers of these wonderful fish. There has also been a surge in coho numbers with limits of two marked fish being boated. If you find the numbers of boats excessive on the hump I would suggest fishing the 200-foot line on the western boundary of the chinook non retention area from Kitty Coleman to Little River, which incidentally opens on July1. The 100 to 200 feet off Cape Lazo will also be good bet. Let the presence of bait on your sounder be your guide. Moving farther south on the outside try the 100 to 200 foot range on the east side of Hornby Island all the way down to the rocky reefs off Flora Rocks. Southeast winds will be your problem in these waters. If you fish the waters off the south end of Denman Hornby be aware of the chinook non-retention in
place off Deep Bay. The waters on the south side of Hornby from Norris Rocks to Flora have no closures and if there is bait present these are excellent chinook and coho areas. Bottomfish are always a good choice especially if you like halibut, lingcod, rockfish, or Pacific cod. All of these species are frequently taken while trolling for salmon. Targeting lingcod by using bait or jigs on rocky bottoms will produce some of the finest eating fish in local waters. In the cases of lingcod and halibut be aware of size limits and record your catches on your license. Camping and fishing are two activities that compliment each other. Local resorts and parks are normally fully booked on this weekend however there are many day use parks and recreation areas that serve local people without camping. Maple Lake is an example of a local trout fishing destination with virtually no travel time. It does however have limited parking and access. Farther

RALPH SHAW afield, Comox Lake offers lake fishing and if you are a member of the fish and game club you will have access to the trout pond. The current cool weather has extended fishing opportunities in our freshwater lakes by keeping the water cool and the trout
in prime condition, although hard to catch because they are feeding primarily on small zooplankton. Worms, Berkley Powerbait and lures still work under all conditions. Fishing locally makes it easy to include children. Ralph Shaw is a master fly fisherman who was awarded the Order of Canada in 1984 for his conservation efforts. In 20 years of writing a column in the Comox Valley Record it has won several awards.

John D. (Jack) Innes April 17, 1927 - June 5, 2013
Predeceased by her husband Tom of his second marriage, she raised his young family of two sons and one daughter. Financially independent to look after life’s challenges she faced the ups and downs of life with a smile, never complaining. She had her circle of friends. She was always kind, polite and generous in her conversation about people and events with a hint of comment and/or advice when necessary. Having been blessed with a good sense of humor she made for a lively encounter. She remained cheerful right to the end and her spark and generosity never left her, living in the world of memories of her husband, family and friends.
She will be buried with her late husband Tom in the family plot on Denman Island Cemetery at a later date. Please call 250-334-0707 for details.

Barkley Kenneth Oren
It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Kenneth Oren Barkley. He was an avid lover of classic cars of which he built many in addition to being a master mechanic and auto-bodyman. He was so talented he could just listen with his ear and diagnose an engine. Ken loved to race and was always happiest in the “fast lane�. Ken is predeceased by his dad Oren and his brother Leonard. Willie, his son, was another of Ken’s loves whom he will miss terribly. He is survived by his grandma Leona, mom Barb, stepdad Jim, and sibling Pat (Tony), Laurie (Oopie), Rosie (Brad), Robert, and sister-in-law Barbie along with many nieces and nephews. The family will be having a private service upon his wishes. Donations kindly accepted for the Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
Mary Anne passed away peacefully early morning in Glacier View Lodge. She was admitted on the advice of her doctors as she lived alone in her condo for many years.
A word of thanks to the staff and workers of Glacier View Lodge, her doctors and all those many individuals who contributed to her wellbeing throughout her years.
Jack passed peacefully at home with family in attendance. Predeceased by parents Lydia and Adam, brothers Donald and Bobby and sister Corrine. Loved and missed by wife Carol, son Douglas (Linda) of Campbell River, daughters Katherine (Robin) of Tswawassen, Erin of Lund, two granddaughters Jessica of Whiterock and Lindsay of Campbell River, grandson Spencer of Vancouver, sister Marjorie of Port Alberni, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. The family wish to thank Palliative Care nurses Barbara and Marlene and the home care workers, and particularly Dani Holmes, Jack's grand-niece, for their help and support during those last difďŹ cult days, as well as Dr.'s Carswell and LeBeuff. Jack's was a life well lived and we will all miss his quiet smile and wonderful stories. He loved nature and was at home in the wilderness, on the land or water and especially in the air. The family invite his many friends and acquaintances to join us at the Maritime Heritage Centre at 4pm on Sunday July 7th to share stories and memories. In lieu of owers the family request donations be made to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation for the ICU and Emergency departments.

This is ladies week at the Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club. Ladies Triples in Qualicum on June 22-23 was won by Pat Cutt, Melie Ursulom and Irene Whitehouse, who won all four of their games in a winner-play-winner format. Pat Chambers, Pat Norrad and first time tournament player, Bev Hambly also participated and made a good showing. Our travelling men didn’t have much
a certain amount of hours. (On average we can bowl seven ends in an hour). All the proceeds will be going into our building expansion fund. We will be the first club on the Island to have hosted a 24-hour bowling event, so make sure you sponsor us to be a part of it. The Friday Night Aggregate has some leaders after the first month: Dean Penny with 18 points, Melie Ursulom and Michael Lynch have 17 points each; Rosemary Montreuil and Archie
Harris in hot pursuit with 16 points each, Linda Harris 15 and Marg Queen 14 are just staying ahead of novice bowlers, Carolyn and Ernest Kassian and George Paish with 13 points. This is a popular event where one point is awarded for attending and two more if you are on a winning team. The teams are randomly drawn and attendance is “if you want to play.” Be there by 6 p.m. on Friday evenings. – Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club
