Soccer berth‘team victory’ Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Street Soccer Canada has named Heath Young of Maple Pool United to the national men’s team that will compete at the Homeless World Cup Aug. 10 to 18 in Pozna, Poland. His selection follows the Western Canadian qualifier, which United hosted two weekends ago at Lewis Park in Cour-
tenay. The home side placed fourth out of 10 teams. “Heath has used his participation in soccer with Maple Pool United as a path towards empowerment and recovery,” said team coach/co-ordinator Grant Shilling, an outreach worker at the Dawn to Dawn: Action on Homelessness Society. Shilling started a street soccer program in the Comox Val-
ley last year. Operating out of the Maple Pool Campsite, the program provides an opportunity for homeless and marginalized individuals to compete in a fun environment. Unlike 11-aside soccer, street soccer involves four-person teams that play on a field about 22 metres long with hockey-size nets. “The regular discipline used ... see SQUAD ■ 2

“Having a community like Cumberland which is quite small, and all kids know each other, I think this is an excellent program for them, and it’s a good behavioural model as well.”

Another lawyer has waded into the legal battle between the City of Courtenay and the owners of Maple Pool Campsite who operate a community living project for homeless and marginalized individuals. Lee Mayzes is representing Maple Pool residents Greg Wesson and Ross Osmond, who face a possible eviction because the City is attempting to shut down the site on Headquarters Road. “My argument is that the enforcement of the bylaw by the City would breach my clients’ section seven Charter (of Rights and Freedoms) rights to life, liberty and security of the person in the fact that it is pretty clear that closing Maple Pool would cause them to become homeless once again,” said Mayzes, who appeared at a June 27 hearing at B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo. Wesson and Osmond were both homeless before arriving at Maple Pool, where rent is affordable for those on the fringes of society. “They don’t have the funds to live anywhere else,” Mayzes said. The judge has reserved a decision on her application. The City initiated legal action in 2011 against campground owners Dali and Jin Lin, who had been represented by Clive Ansley. Health issues forced Ansley to step down before the City decided to press on in court. Cameron Ward has taken over the case. Former City CAO Sandy Gray had said the issue is zoning, which prohibits the Lins from housing people on the property, which sits

A concerned passerby, who wishes to remain anonymous, contacted the Record after noticing a pile of discarded library books in a dumpster at G. P. Vanier Secondary School last week. According to nowretired school principal Charlie Schellinck, the school library is being culled to remove outdated and unused books, and make room for newer, more relevant material. Though the library follows a protocol to ensure any culled books that can be are passed on to charitable organizations or other groups or individuals, Comox Valley School District superintendent Sherry Elwood says some of the culled books do end up in the landfill. “With our commercial disposal contract, that’s what we do unfortunately — they head towards the dumpsters,” says Elwood. “There’s no other way, in a big enterprise like the school district, to provide any other way to do that.” Elwood adds library book culling is done throughout the district, and a process called MUSTY (Misleading, Ugly, Superseded, Trivial, Your collection has no use for the book) is used to choose which books to remove. Using this process books are removed which contain obsolete information and racial, cultural or sexual stereotyping. Also, books which have newer versions like old encyclo-
BOOKS SIT IN a G.P. Vanier Secondary School dumpster. The school library culls its collection periodically to remove outdated books and make space for new material. PHOTO BY RENEE ANDOR pedias, worn-out books, books with poor writing or inaccurate information and books that are generally irrelevant to the school’s curriculum are removed from the library shelves. Before any books go in a dumpster, libraries attempt to find other homes for them. “Always we offer them to charities but there are times where they’re either so out of date that it wouldn’t be appropriate
to send them on to other learners and we wouldn’t be disrespectful by sending them off to developing nations that way,” she says. Vanier librarian Mary Whyte notes many books have been removed from Vanier’s library this year. “This renews the collection to make it more vibrant, appropriate for the school population, upto-date, and appealing,” she says in an e-mail. “We tried several ways
to find some of the books a new home, but one must realize that some of these books are not appropriate for any collection due to obsolete information or being worn out or dirty.” She adds the library tried recycling some but the program became overwhelmed. Also, many of the books went to local organizations. She adds the additional space in the library is a good thing. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com
in a floodplain. The site flooded in 2009 and 2010. Advocates fear that most of the 56 tenants would become homeless if evicted. “This is more than a zoning issue,” Mayzes said. “I’m a little nonplussed by it...For them (clients) the safety issue is being made homeless again, that’s their concern. They’ve been there, and it’s not a good position for people to be in. They don’t feel safe being homeless.” Wesson and Osmond own the trailers in which they live but could not afford the costs of moving the units, even if the vehicles were roadworthy, Mayzes said. “Besides my application, I think the court is aware that there are serious issues involved in this case,” Mayzes said. “It’s not your typical injunction or civic bylaw case.” The hearing has been adjourned to the fall. New City CAO David Allen is exploring options for a meeting between the involved parties. “We’re doing this on a ‘without prejudice basis,’ “ Allen said. He recognizes the case involves two issues. One concerns the legalities relating to zoning and Official Community Plan amendments that may or may not be required. The other is the people issue. “I know that council and certainly myself and senior staff are concerned,” Allen said. “We don’t want people to think that we don’t care about people who are in these sorts of situations. We clearly do, but we also have a responsibility to the taxpayer, and that means not having situations where we put the City in a serious liability issue.”

As of June 24, the size of open fires have been restricted in most of the Coastal Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. This prohibition will remain in effect until Oct. 15 or the public is otherwise notified. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands within the Coastal Fire Centre, with the exception of the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District and the area known as the “Fog Zone.” A map of the affected areas is available online at http://bit.ly/120s5c9. Specific activities affected by this prohibition include: • the burning of any material, piled or unpiled, smaller than two metres in height and three metres in width, including burning barrels • the burning of stubble or grass over an area less than 2,000 square metres (0.2 hectares) • the use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description. This prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. Anyone lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire area and have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water nearby to properly extinguish the fire. For information about open burning and tips on making responsible burning decisions, please read the open burning guides at: http://bcwildfire.ca/ hprScripts/WildfireNews/Bans.asp. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but it does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has wildfire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department. Before lighting any fire, residents should check with local civic authorities regarding any current prohibitions. The Coastal Fire Centre covers all of the area west of the height of land on the Coast Mountain Range from the U.S.-Canada border at Manning Park, including Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park in the north, the Sunshine Coast, the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and Haida Gwaii. Anyone found in contravention of an open

Youth might learn alongside seniors this autumn Renee Andor Record Staff
Comox Valley kindergarten students will likely learn fine arts alongside seniors in the fall. Comox Valley School District director of instruction for elementary Allan Douglas last week told the Board of Education about a new intergenerational project he’s in the midst of planning. Douglas noted he sees great value in connecting students and seniors and when he approached Berwick Comox Valley about his idea, staff there were keen. “And Berwick is very, very interested,” he said, noting he’s had two meetings with Berwick staff so far, and he hopes to start it in the fall. “The seniors, who choose to, and the students, will be learning together around fine art, poetry, language arts, drawing — and the connections
between the seniors and the students are going to be very, very powerful,” he continued. Douglas pointed out the program will start small, noting a couple of kindergarten teachers from Valley View Elementary are very interested, and classes would be shorter at first to see how things go. “And then maybe we’ll look at expanding,” he said, adding he expects the program to be successful. “We’ve got a couple of other seniors centres in the Comox Valley that we can expand to.” ••• A summer challenge program for outdoorsy secondary students will kick off in July. Comox Valley School District assistant superintendent Tom Demeo noted the program was created in partnership with the John Howard Society and will feature a blended learning model through Navigate powered by NIDES (North

Allan Douglas Island Distance Education School). Students between ages 14 and 16 can participate in the month-long program, which will be based out of Lake Trail Middle School, “with the classroom being the Comox Valley,” explained Demeo. “They will do some of their learning in the outdoors, working on resiliency skills, working on leadership skills, working on team work skills,” he added. “The second part, which is really neat, is it also is going to provide an opportunity, for a couple of students between the ages of 17 and 19, an opportunity to be mentors. And they will actually be peer mentors in this program, and working on their own leadership skills.” Demeo noted the program seems popular as about 17 students had signed up as of last week and interest was growing. Students will work
on a couple of courses via Navigate, but Demeo noted that if they don’t finish them during the month of July, they can pick them up again in the fall. •••
The ACE IT carpentry program will be held at Mark R. Isfeld in September. “ACE Carpentry will run for the first time in a new format up at Mark Isfeld, which we’re really excited about,” Comox Valley School District assistant superintendent Tom Demeo told the Board of Education, noting students will build houses at the new space at Isfeld. He noted a site plan is being prepared and students from Highland and G.P. Vanier

secondary schools will join Isfeld students to attend the new program in September. The dual-admission program, in partnership with North Island College, will see students complete their first year of postsecondary carpentry training by the time they finish their Grade 12 year.
Vanier has had a construction program for years, in which students built houses, and some students have taken ACE IT Carpentry through Vanier’s construction program. But, September will see the first full ACE IT Carpentry program for the Comox Valley School District.

A man tubing down the Puntledge River late Wednesday afternoon died following rescue attempts by friends, a Search and Rescue crew and even an off-duty firefighter. The BC Coroners Service confirm William Frank (Bill) Havill, 42, from Aldergrove, got separated from his group tubing down the river. “This male had admitted to his friends earlier that he wasn’t a strong swimmer and he wasn’t wearing a PFD (personal flotation device), his friends found him floating in the water. His friends starting performing CPR on him,” noted Const. Kelly Godard. “We are so thankful to his friends — they were taking direction from the RCMP on how to perform CPR and they were at it for quite a long time. They really did give his friend a fighting chance,” she added. Courtenay Fire Chief Don Bardonnex said they got called to the river around 5:30 p.m., and set up communications with BC Ambulance and RCMP. “The patient was found face down in the water, they started CPR, we got our crews set up and set SAR (Search and Rescue) on scene. SAR put their boats in the water upstream and floated down, retrieved the patient, brought him downstream and now they’re in the process of just wrapping up getting the other four victims off the water,” he explained. Bardonnex added there were five people

Forty years later, a group G.P. Vanier graduates will again meet in the school cafeteria to play cards. Saturday, Aug. 3 marks the 40-year reunion of the 1973 grad class from Vanier. It will be on a drop-in basis from noon to 8 p.m. — and just like when they were still high school students, organizer Heather Walker says the group will get together to hang out in Vanier’s cafeteria. “That’s where we spent all our time playing cards so — ‘I’ll meet you in the caf,’” says Walker, who now lives in North Vancouver, and has organized a grad reunion every 10 years so the group can catch up. “Our relationships
were so incredibly important then, and we valued our friendships — and quite a number of us are still friends after all these years,” she continues. Now a Grade 8 to 12 school, Vanier only had Grade 11 and 12 students attend it at the time this group graduated. Walker recalls students came to Vanier from all over the place at that time. “We pooled in from everywhere. We had Campbell River and Tahsis, and Comox and Cumberland, everybody in between, all the feeder schools,” she says. She notes Campbell River had a high school but if some students had family in the Valley they would go to Vanier instead. Over 440 names are on Walker’s list of 1973 grads, and she
notes people come from all over the world to attend the reunions, and share what’s happened in their lives since high school. “We’ve got one bloke who married a woman in Australia, had four boys with her, met somebody else, and they’ve since moved to Saudi Arabia and he had another a baby... and his oldest has got his Phd in microbiology at the University of Sacramento,” says Walker. “You’d never be able to share that wow factor in an e-mail with each other — and he’s coming back, he’s coming from Saudi Arabia.” Though drop-ins are welcome, Walker encourages attendees to register so she knows how much food is needed. She can be reached at 604-9832333.

Fun’s brewing as resort hosts annual Tapped festival The first major event of Mount Washington’s summer season is coming up this weekend. Tapped, the mountain’s popular beer festival, takes place Friday, July 12 and features an extensive selection of tasty brews from B.C. and beyond. “Our beer festival has returned to showcasing just beers this summer,” explains resort spokesperson Brent Curtain. “We added a scotch element over the last couple of years but the overwhelming feedback was keep it beer, so we listened!” If your taste buds for brews range from pilseners to porters, IPAs to ESBs or even stouts to summer ales, then Tapped will deliver.

Help city celebrate centennial The City of Courtenay needs help planning its biggest-ever birthday. The City turns 100 in 2015, and they’re looking for volunteers to plan a worthy celebration. Community members are invited to apply to sit on a new Centennial Celebration Committee. Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula said the committee will play a key role in planning and organizing events. “We’re looking for people from across the community to help with our centennial,” he said. “We’ve come a long way in 100 years. Anyone who would like to help honour and celebrate our history is encouraged to put their name forward.” Committee members would meet at least once a month, and would help implement all aspects of the centennial celebration.
The time commitment would likely increase as the centennial and related events draw closer. Those interested should summarize previous volunteer and/or work experience, and send their submission to the City of Courtenay community services department by July 31. Hard copies can be mailed or hand delivered to City Hall at 830 Cliffe Ave. E-mail submissions can be sent to communityservices@courtenay.ca. Jangula notes the high calibre of volunteers in the Comox Valley. “There have been

Comox Valley artists will burst out at Crown Isle Three award-winning Comox Valley artists are having too much fun and it’s contagious. Contemporary fine artists Shirley Dickie, Gail Neuls and Martha Ponting have set themselves the challenge of making you feel uplifted and are convinced that their July 13-14 show Colourburst at Crown Isle will do it. The artists’ shared passion for colour beckons, speaks to, then captivates the viewer. “Primary colours with high impact,” is how Dickie describes her part of the show. “A lot of movement: lively, happy paintings with deeper messages. They’re not just frivolous. “Sometimes I paint for 24 hours straight. I’d paint with a stick if I had to.” Neuls adds: “I love colour and am not afraid of it at all.” Ponting finds great joy in experimenting with new products and colours. She finds it absolutely compelling. “The more I do the more I want to do,” she said. “It’s become a part of me.” Neuls describes herself as “a semi-abstract stylist.” Her love of lines and colour bursts forth in many of her works, although a new piece like Into the Silence suggests a new direction. “You have to let yourself
THE ART OF Shirley Dickie, Gail Neuls and Martha Ponting will be displayed at Colourburst. go where it wants to go,” she said. Dickie resists categorization, other than to call herself a self-taught, “intuitive” painter. “I study a subject, then I paint it and I don’t really know beforehand what it’s going to be,” she says. “I paint quickly to get the energy of movement and colour and excitement into
the work.” For Dickie, each show features a different phase of her development, such as landscapes, then a shamanic period, then on to what it means to be a woman, then what it means to live in a city. Her last show was “deep and morose,” whereas Colourburst at Crown Isle celebrates life. Ponting’s works are even
more eclectic and her art journey markedly different. She fondly recalls her farmer father taking her as a child to London, Ontario’s Western Fair to see the art. Later, she was touched on a daily basis by her Calgary employer’s large and sophisticated art collection. She appreciated the firm’s deliberate creation of an atmosphere of creativity in
the offices. After retiring, it was a course at Elder College and encouragement by Neuls that launched Ponting on her own painting odyssey in acrylics and mixed media. North Island College also had a formative influence on Neuls, who took a four-year program with her daughter. “It was a blast – the
best thing I’ve ever done in my entire life,” she said. “Painting abstractly opened a whole new world to me. When you do an abstract or semi-abstract you can put your whole self into it. You can use whatever colours you want. Your lines, your whole thing is inspired by yourself.” Some artists revel in the experience of art shows. “I love it,” Neuls said. “In college, I just loved when they did critiques. Because my pictures display a lot of mystery, I love to hear other people’s interpretations.” Ponting especially enjoys hearing how children relate to her work. With more than 75 vibrant works of diverse style and subject matter available for purchase, the show stimulates and invites the viewer to think more deeply. About a third are new pieces not previously exhibited. Many, such as Ponting’s Morning Fog (Lazo Marsh), depict the natural beauty of local scenes which will resonate with viewers from Vancouver Island and reflect a part of who they are. The exhibition at the Crown Isle Resort clubhouse is described further at www.colourburst.ca, where links to the artists’ respective home pages are also found. Children are welcome.

than I all ready am,” Barrett said. All of the old masters are Barrett’s favourite painters. He thinks he understands Picasso the best as he feels he can relate to him. Barrett likes to carry a sketch pad wherever he goes. Most ideas come from his imagination. He often uses photographs to paint portraits. Some of his images, such as totems, are often mixed with other images. This doesn’t always appeal to those who view his art, but Barrett feels it’s cool to match certain subjects. Whenever he goes on holiday he is sure to take his chalks. “There isn’t a piece of work that I do that I consider finished,” said Barrett, who often touches up old pieces.
He doesn’t dare take his paints to a show because he would be trying to fix something on one of his pieces. Those who view his work will find a bit of everything. He finds the most satisfaction and happiness with pieces that are a little different. He feels that no two artists are alike. Barrett strives to put his own unique, distinct style into each piece. “Come on out and enjoy something a little different. I dare you.” The gallery is at 1729 Comox Ave., open Tuesday-Saturday from 10-4 p.m. and Sunday 1-4 p.m. Admission is free. www.pearlellisgallery. com. Call 250-339-2822.

Local trio features Ralph Barrat at Zocalo Café Forbidden Jazz Trio returns to Zocalo Café for a Friday evening performance. Consisting of Ralph Barrat on keyboard and vocals, Jim Chew on guitar and Grahame Edwards on bass, the trio strives to reach audiences of all ages through a variety of timeless jazz standards. Representing more than four decades of experience, their blend of voice, piano and strings will weave their collective magic through two sets of music. Joining the trio on lead guitar is Chew, who over the past 35 years has explored all areas of music, from trios to show bands, both live and in studio. During his teens, Chew was inspired by Django Reinhardt, and studied classical guitar for three years. He discovered a

He supplemented his income as a commercial freelance musician. This experience left the Campbell River resident with a broad base of influences which he applies to his playing style. Multi-instrumen-
talist Edwards studied music at UBC and holds a diploma in fine arts from the University of Calgary. Aside from acoustic and electric bass, Edwards plays percussion and trumpet. He has appeared with countless local ensembles and productions in various genres but his first musical love lies with improvised music.
He also enjoys playing and composing his own jazz tunes. Edwards has taught privately and in the Campbell River School District, and shares his music by conducting workshops and clinics. Over the years, he has studied with respected jazz musicians including Don Clarke, Phil Nimmons, Chris Nelson and Paul Horn.
THE WINNER OF the Pearl Ellis Gallery’s Peoples Choice Award for the summer of 2013 is Brinley, a painting by Sharon Lennox. Brinley was on display until July 7 at the gallery along with all other members’ works of art. Lennox received a plaque donated by Bob and Sheila Pollock to commemorate the event and a $100 gift certificate donated by Whyte’s Framing. The four runners-up were Ruth Poirier’s pastel Inglis Falls, Pieter Molenaar’s painting White Sails, Bev Johnston’s painting Cumberland Street and Aline Hoffart’s painting Utah Landscape.

Tripp Tease taking some well-deserved time off Tripp Tease will race no longer in 2013. She may get out for the odd weekend “cruise,” but having come off a great season of racing she will now rest. Vic-Maui, Swiftsure, and Round Saltspring regattas are all on the table for 2014. “This was a very successful year and it makes you want to do it all over again,” said Tripp Tease sail trimmer and Comox Bay Sailing Club (CBSC) Commodore Andrew Walther. Tripp Tease, owned by Harold Long, finished third (of 22 boats) in Div. 1 of Round Saltspring, DNF in Swiftsure (although they were the second boat to Neah Bay out of a fleet of 70), and placed third (of 10 boats) in Div. 1 of this year’s Black Press Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race. The most important facet about racing on Tripp Tease is the members of the team. The core crew has sailed past regattas (VI360, Swiftsure etc.) together for several years now, and very good relationships have been formed over the years. “The fact that we got along so well and had fun – in close quarters – for extended periods is what it’s all about,” said Walther. “Success in the races is an added bonus – if we were at each other’s throats the whole time, the podium finishes would not have meant anything. It was especially nice to bring the win into Comox – what a great

It’s pretty obvious that a beautiful warm sunny day is what it takes to bring out the Glacier Greens Tuesday Ladies for a round of golf. On June 25 the weather forecast wasn’t great, perhaps explaining why there were only two ladies who actually braved the elements and played 18 holes. On July 2, 28 ladies showed up to play.

3 Options for your glass containers
The glass collection bins will be removed from the recycling depots July 15, 2013.
1 Reuse
2 Repurpose
The depots are for the collection of products that can be recycled. For glass to be recycled, it must be sorted and shipped to out-of-province factories to be made into new glass, as there is no longer a glass recycling facility in BC. 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.
3 Dispose
1
Residents are encouraged to reuse their non-refundable glass containers as many times as possible. Many glass containers (such as pop, juice, wine, beer and liquor bottles) require a deposit to be paid when the product is purchased, so residents should take those containers back to the point of purchase or to the Return-It bottle depots.
2
Residents can drop off their non-refundable glass containers in the bins that have been moved to secured and safe locations at the Campbell River and Comox Valley waste management centres. The glass accepted at these locations will be 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.
3
Residents can choose to place their non-refundable glass containers in their household garbage for pick up.
*NOTE: It is important to remember that glass containers are not accepted in the blue box municipal curbside recycling programs. For more information visit

Theodore came into this world on the 30th day of December 1947 and left in the early hours on the 30th day of June 2013. Born in Arnhem, Holland to Theodorus and Hendrika Kremer; Theodore and sister Wilhemina came to Canada on the “S.S. Waterman� in April 1952. The family set up their home in Sidney, BC where his father opened his shoemaking business. A landed immigrant, in a foreign country, speaking no English and knowing no one, Tay started school at the age of five. Eventually fitting in he made long lasting friendships he cherished. These he held very dear with many memories. Theodore married Jennifer Andrew from Gordon Head November 3rd 1967, after which they had two children Christina and Kathleen. The Andrew family welcomed him into their hearts and home bringing him many years of joyful memories.

Boost in security coming News of a terrorism plot involving the B.C. legislature and pressure cookers filled with nails has sent shock waves through the province, and nowhere is the news hitting with more impact than in Victoria, where the iconic Parliament Buildings draw tourists year round. A Canada Day event there on Monday (the event the terrorists were targeting) attracted about 40,000 people to the legislative lawns. B.C. residents may say “it can’t happen here,” but it can and it does. People in Boston likely felt much the same about the Boston Marathon, before the bombing incident this year, which apparently inspired the B.C. couple alleged to be at the centre of this plot. Whether inspired by religion, politics or just mischief, acts of terror are on the rise in North America. Since the infamous acts of Sept. 11, 2001, a host of plots have been uncovered and several attacks, such as the Boston one, have actually been carried out. Three people were killed and 170 injured in Boston. This has led to a dramatic increase in security at the borders and airports, in particular, but also at large public events such as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. The original budget for security at the Olympics was projected at $175 million. The actual cost was $900 million. Events such as Canada Day celebrations have not been seen as likely targets for acts of terror, but they do attract large crowds. The Canada Day event in Cloverdale, the main Surrey event, has attracted as many as 100,000 people. The downtown Vancouver event is also a large one. Security has usually been pretty straightforward at such events. But it seems likely it will have to be boosted in the future, whether to ensure that wannabe terrorists have no chance to get near an event, or drunken partiers are barred from the grounds. We may not want more security, but as citizens we appreciate extra efforts to make us safe. — Black Press

Nothing to fear but fear itself? Dear editor, As a sometimes visitor to developing world countries, it seems absurd on my return home that so many citizens of this extremely prosperous province and country seem convinced of our impending collective impoverishment. These feelings are likely attributable to the fact that for decades now we have been targeted with messaging about hard economic times, spending restraint, and a supposed neverending squandering of precious tax dollars. The indignation expressed regarding dedicated bicycle lanes and the proposed covered bridge project are symptomatic of our economic trepidation. American president Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous utterance, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself,” might be instructive. Having convinced ourselves that we are on the edge of economic collapse, our collective fear has contributed significantly towards making such a collapse a reality. In spite of our homeless citizens and the desperate conditions on many first nations reserves, as a society Canada is a very long way from being poor.
Relative to all but a handful of similarly affluent Western countries, our public and private infrastructure, our vast resource base, and the education and skill level of our people are unprecedented in human history. Having grown up in the good times of the 1950s and 60s post-war economic boom, my long-term observations leave me convinced that we are much, much more prosperous now than we were then — at least in terms of material wealth. Houses are bigger and teeming with appliances, electronics and other consumer goods. There are flashy cars, big RVs, marinas filled with expensive pleasure boats, regular exotic holidays to any of the thousands of luxury resorts choking the world’s tropical beaches. There are also big box stores overflowing with endless choices in whatever size, colour, style and price-range we might desire. This was not how it was in the so-called good times I grew up in and yet, as a society, we appear to feel infinitely more anxious about our economic situation than we did in the post-war golden era. What, then, might explain
this phenomenon? The 1930s saw much of the world, including Canada and the U.S., staggering under the greatest economic meltdown of the modern era. From the depths of this depression, Canadians and Americans catapulted themselves into wartime economic and industrial powerhouses — and they did this within months. Countries that were genuinely impoverished would never have been able to accomplish this turnaround, even in the face of the mortal danger presented by fascism. We had the resources and we had the will to shift a moribund economy into overdrive. I suggest that a collective ‘can do’ mindset was the key ingredient in this change — the confidence that people had in themselves and their fellows as a society. Covered bridges, bike lanes, art and music in our schools, these are quality of life expenditures that speak to the optimism and confidence of an enviably talented, resource-rich culture. We are that people. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Ken Piercy Courtenay

Clean sweep at Courtenay city hall? Dear editor, Perhaps next year is the time we should do a clean sweep at City Hall in Courtenay. The only elected official with the integrity and fortitude to state what his position is on the Maple Pool issue is Mayor Larry Jangula.
He has been on the record since the beginning saying that he is not in favour of forcing 50-plus people into being homeless as a result of a flood years ago that was caused by the untimely release of water upstream. The rest of council uses the excuse that
LARRY JANGULA
they can’t say how they voted on this issue because there is a legal action (that they initiated). Balderdash. That does not stop our elected leaders from publicly taking a stand on this very important issue. Any of them who continues
to refuse to state how they are voting on this matter will not be getting my vote. We did not elect them to hide in the shadows. If their position is a principled one then why are they hiding? Bill Verburgt Comox Valley
Respect for Mandela Dear editor, Civilization is about to lose one of history’s giants. Most of us travel around the sun content in our own world oblivious to the plight of our fellow travellers, not so this leader, Nelson Mandela, of his people and inspiration to the world. Canada, so impressed by his resolve to right a mas-
sive wrong, offered Mandela an honourary citizenship and he honoured us by accepting it. I expect that when this great man dies Canada will honour his memory and give him the respect due by the lowering of our flag throughout the land. Mel McLachlan Comox
Prudence needed – city Dear editor, At the July 2 council meeting Courtenay Coun. Jon Ambler introduced motions to direct City staff to provide assistance to the covered bridge project, which we had been told would not require taxpayer funding. In fact the wooden bridge is rapidly becoming a taxpayerfunded project. We have already spent $70,000 and now we must pay the salaries of city staff who will provide their expertise for the project. The motion is open-ended directing “City staff to provide expert support.” It hopefully suggests there should be prudent limits, but it essentially gives the City a blank cheque to pay wages to our employees who work on this project. The wooden foot bridge is an unnecessary frill which is the dream of some local proponents who desire a pleasant means of strolling across the river. If they wish to donate it, we welcome their civic spirit, but foot and bike traffic across the river is already quite adequately provided by the adjacent Fifth Street Bridge. In a second fiscally imprudent motion, Coun. Ambler (whose willingness to spend taxpayer dollars apparently knows no bounds) introduced another
motion to encourage “all willing and able” council members to attend “all” of the civic conferences across the country (even federal and provincial ministries would balk at such excess). In the past council delegations were occasionally sent to specific conferences for a specific purpose, but our free-spending council now sees these expensive trips as a perk and an entitlement, which we are expected to fund. Such trips are billed as being for networking and learning purposes, but common sense would suggest that our councillors’ time would be better spent within our community unless a specific need is identified at which time a small delegation could be sent on a one off basis. In fact, most of such taxpayer-funded trips across the country and internationally provide no additional value for our community and serve only to increase the city’s expenses. We should make the connection when we review our ever increasing tax assessment each year and remember our pain at election time. Thank you Mayor Jangula for being a consistent voice of reason on council and the only member who opposed the above waste of our tax dollars. Win Hunter Courtenay
UNSOLICITED ADVICE is not welcome, said one letter writer from her experience at St. Joseph’s Hospital. FILE PHOTO
No need for opinion Dear editor, As a patient in St. Joseph’s Hospital for pneumonia and heart attack, I encountered a staff member of the hospital. For some reason he decided to give me some unsolicited information. I have had COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) for three years and am doing all I can to maintain a positive attitude which I believe to be extremely helpful as a
technique for maintaining a longer life. He, for some reason, known only to himself, shared with me his opinion that I should think of my life in terms of months rather than years. If I had wanted his opinion I would have asked and I truly hope he never tries to take anyone else’s hope. Linda McLeod Union Bay

Meet midwives at open house Cumberland Community Schools Society (CCSS), in partnership with Plum Midwifery, invite the community to an open house to announce a new Group Prenatal and Education Program. Come meet the midwives and have cake and tea at the Masonic Hall at 2687 Dunsmuir Avenue in Cumberland Wednesday, July 10 from 1 to 3 p.m. Group Prenatal encourages active involvement in women’s prenatal care through dialogue in the group model — encouraging peer connections, learning from one another, sharing experiences and developing friendships. Midwives facilitate learning through the provision of best practice/evidence-based information, discussion of care issues, and teaching self-care. Plum Midwifery has offered Group Prenatal at their Comox location with tremendous results. Group Prenatal and education will run Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. at the Masonic Hall. CCSS received a grant for $8,490 from Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island through the Foundation’s 2013 Community Grants Program. The grant will expand CCSS’s Healthy Mother/ Healthy Child initiative by presenting two Community Programs for new families in Cumberland — Group Prenatal and Mama-
centric. The second program, Mamacentric, will begin its second year in September offering a weekly support and education group for young mothers. The group focuses common and unexpected complications after the baby’s birth, while building friendships and a sense of community. Topics can include anything from sleep deprivation and relationship changes, to postpartum depression. Facilitator Amy Kelly, a registered midwife, states the sessions may include guest speakers, introducing new mothers to fun and essential services available in the community, such as infant massage and post-birth yoga. The sessions will create an opportunity for parents to share and learn in a non-judgmental, supportive and confidential setting. Tea, snacks and childcare are available, and the sessions are free. CCSS is a non-profit society that works in partnership with Cumberland schools, community groups and volunteers to provide educational and support services for students and local residents while increasing the use of our schools. Based out of Cumberland Elementary School, CCSS provides a lunch program, free after-school programs and community programs for all ages. For more information about CCSS pro-
grams or to volunteer, please contact us at 250-336-8521, or visit us on our website, www.cumberlandcommunityschools.com, or on Facebook. Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island is a registered charity whose purpose is to raise funds to support the health and well-being of children and youth in need on Vancouver
Island and the Gulf Islands. The foundation owns and operates Jeneece Place and built the Sooke and West Shore Child, Youth & Family Centres.
