COMOX VALLEY TOY Library Society founder Rebecca Mohrs looks forward to the toy library’s grand opening this weekend at the LINC Youth Centre.

Toy library opening doors Renee Andor Record Staff

After months of planning and preparation by volunteers, this weekend the Comox Valley Toy Library will open its doors for the first time.

Located at the LINC Youth Centre in Courtenay, the toy library’s two-day grand opening will run from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, with regular hours after this weekend being 3 to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

Comox Valley Toy Library Society founder and chair Rebecca Mohrs says those involved in its inception are very excited to open.

“Everyone on our board of directors and our volunteers have been working a lot to get the toys cleaned and catalogued and organized, and just getting the word out … so we’re all really excited for this to open,” says Mohrs.

“And, we can’t wait to start borrowing ourselves and start meeting all of the people who want to use us.”

Mohrs says this weekend is a great time for those interested to sign up as members. The annual membership fee is $20, which allows members to borrow up to five toys every two weeks.

“We want to keep (the fee) low so that it’s really accessible to any family,” adds Mohrs. “But, the toy library isn’t only for people who can’t afford to buy a lot of toys; it’s for all families, and businesses, to use.”

For example, Mohrs notes a café is interested in borrowing toys to circulate in its kids zone, grandparents can borrow toys in preparation for visits from their grandkids or those having friends with kids visit from out of town can borrow toys, too.

“We have a huge amount of

toys (donated) from only really, maybe 20 families … And just realizing that those toys are from only a few families, imagine how many fewer toys will need to be manufactured to supply the families of the Valley if they’re using the toy library — and how many fewer toys will then end up in the landfill.”

The Comox Valley Toy Library’s grand opening will feature facepainting for kids. A sign outside the LINC building (300 Old Island Highway) will direct visitors to the toy library area.

The society is looking for ongoing volunteers and hopes to increase its operating hours once a volunteer pool has been developed. For more information, visit cvtoylibrary.weebly.com, e-mail cvtoylibrary@gmail.com or join the Facebook group Comox Valley Toy Library Society.

Bylaw aims to boost town’s vitality Erin Haluschak Record Staff

Give them incentives, and Comox council is hoping they will come.

Council approved at Wednesday’s committee of the whole meeting for staff to be authorized to draft bylaws to implement the Comox Downtown Vitalization Program Bylaw, which aims to attract mix-use commercial/resident development to downtown, and increase the Town’s economic, social and environmental vitality.

“This is potentially a huge win for our tax base,” said Mayor Paul Ives.

Town planner Marvin Kamenz presented the downtown vitalization program, which was identified as one of the strategic priorities in the 2012-2014

Turf on its way

The sports centre commission approved a low bid of $562,551 from Leighton Contracting to convert the all-weather pitch at Vanier Secondary into a synthetic turf field, and a $435,000 contract award for turf supply and installation to Astroturf West Distributors of Vancouver.

Construction is set to commence late-spring.

The CVRD board still needs to approve the project, which is funded by the CVRD, City of Courtenay and the Comox Valley United Soccer Club. School District 71 has provided the land.

Quote of the Day There is no ❝ justification for

the exorbitant fees proposed by MMBC ...

Strategic Plan.

Last year, council directed staff to investigate the feasibility of using the Lorne Hotel site redevelopment as a pilot project for the range of development incentives, including property tax exemptions, explained Kamenz.

The program consists of four bylaws: downtown revitalization tax exemption, zoning amendment (parking), building permit amendment (fee reduction) and development application bylaw (fee rebate).

Kamenz noted the marketability of the program would be a limited time offer on a first-come, first-serve basis, adding the tax exemption incentive will aid in marketing units to residential buyers and in reducing developer’s holding costs for the period

between competition of the project and the unit sales.

The exemptions may be for land or improvements, or both, but for the residential building component only.

For four-storey buildings, the bylaw proposes 100 per cent of permitted tax exemptions for one year, and 100 per cent of permitted tax exemptions for three years for Built Green BC Silver (or equivalent).

For three-storey buildings, the same regulations would apply at 50 per cent.

The building permit fee reduction would be 50 per cent for buildings of four storeys or more, and 20 per cent for three storeys.

Fifty per cent of a development fees rebate would be available for developments meeting the Oct. 31, 2019 deadline for occu-

pancy permit issuance.

Kamenz said the program timeline includes the recommendation to review and re-evaluate the program at six-month intervals.

Coun. Barbara Price questioned if the program should be open for public comment and consultation.

“All we’re doing is really implementing the OCP (Official Community Plan). This is an incentive program,” noted Ives.

Kamenz said if the bylaw is adopted by council at the end of June, the program could start as early as July. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Budget talks continue Courtenay council has approved a 1.95-per-cent increase in property taxes.

The result is a $6.60 increase for an average property worth $275,000.

Council deferred discussion on a commercial tax multiplier to its April 22 meeting.

The proposed 2014 financial plan provides $35 million in expenditures.

Final decision on the

budget is next month.

Council encourages feedback from the public.

As of Monday, the City is offering a new online tool called Citizen Budget that allows the public to review operating budgets.

Seven organizations receive Lions funding Seven local organizations received a total of $4,000 last week from the Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club.

Mandy Larade Record Staff

The sun was shining and there were smiles all around at the Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club.

Last Wednesday at the Lion’s Valley View Estates in Courtenay, the Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club gave a total of $4,000 to seven organizations.

After each cheque presentation, the representing recipient spoke about their

Photo mandy larade

organization’s purpose and explained what the funding would be used for.

Recipients were the ALS Society of British Columbia, Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life, Canadian Diabetes Association, Glacier View Lodge, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Senior Peer Counselling, and Western Canada Blind Golfers.

President of the Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club, Rick Grinham said that

the club is elated to share the common goal of helping these local organizations.

“We’re delighted to have the opportunity to give back to the community,” Grinham said.

The Monarch Lions Club is the largest service club organization with approximately 46,000 clubs worldwide and 1.35 million members.

Chartered in 1993, the Comox Valley chapter gives over $30,000 each year to

different local organizations.

These kinds of donations are necessary to fund each organization since they are often run by a core group of volunteers. Many of the representing volunteers have been affected personally by the cause they choose to support.

Julie Spooner, a volunteer from the ALS Society of British Columbia, lost her father to ALS and is now an active member in the com-

munity, building awareness about the disease.

Spooner is heavily involved in the Golfathon for ALS — an annual fundraiser for the ALS Society of British Columbia. A large portion of the funds goes toward practical needs, such as providing medical equipment for families of ALS patients.

“The more that’s donated, the more hope there is for people with it,” Spooner said.

ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a disease of the nervous system which gradually deteriorates voluntary muscles. ALS patients will lose the ability to move their limbs, to control their bladder, and even to breathe. There is no known cure for ALS. For more information on the Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club or to see a list of the organizations, visit www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/ comoxvm.

At that time, Comox will tell MMBC to take over responsibility for recycling, Mayor Paul Ives said.

Courtenay’s motivation for participating is costsavings to taxpayers and the expansion of recycling services through new options for material collection.

City CAO David Allen says the program exists because the Province amended a recycling regulation that requires businesses to assume responsibility for managing discarded packaging and printed paper that is supplied to residents.

In exchange for entering into an agreement, MMBC will provide a financial incentive to Courtenay.

Concerns from industries

about cost and management of the program would be better addressed by the Province than the City, Allen added.

A coalition of business groups, including the newspaper industry, have launched a campaign against MMBC (rethinkitbc.ca).

Black Press, which owns the Comox Valley Record, says consumers will have to absorb $110 million in extra fees and costs of products under the new system.

But concerns with MMBC go beyond proposed fees to recycle newsprint, says company president Randy Blair, noting businesses not exempt from recycling regulations will pay considerably more

than what it costs to recycle similar materials in other jurisdictions.

“There is no justification for the exorbitant fees proposed by MMBC, who essentially represent the interest of multi-national consumer packaged goods companies and have absolutely no concern for the health of businesses in B.C.,” Blair said.

The recycling regulation in its current form will result in job losses in Courtenay across many business sectors, he added.

“And that should be a concern to all of us.”

MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said newspapers don’t pay fees in other Canadian jurisdictions.

“Our members aren’t

prepared to subsidize the newspaper industry,” he said.

“In other jurisdictions, municipalities or the provincial government subsidizes the newspaper industry.”

He said MMBC members are willing to pay their share of what they put in the marketplace, but are not willing to assume responsibility for the newspaper industry.

For example, a number of members would pay for flyers in newspapers.

“Why would they then also have to pay for the newspaper itself?” Langdon said.

Black Press CEO Rick O’Connor suggests scrapping MMBC and returning control of recycling to

municipalities. He denies Langdon’s claim that newspapers were seeking a subsidy from MMBC. The newspaper industry can develop its own recycling system. It is not required to join MMBC. Since 2012, Langdon recalls the industry has said it might start its own program.

“Here we are 38 days (away from program launch) and they still haven’t done anything,” Langdon said. “At this point we have sufficient membership to move forward with the program.

What the newspaper industry does regarding their obligations is, from my perspective, their issue, not mine.”

Cumberland, Courtenay on board with MMBC

Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The Village of Cumberland and City of Courtenay have signed up with a new recycling system to be implemented May 19 by Multi-Material BC. The Town of Comox, on the other hand, has not signed a contract with the non-profit stewardship agency.

As requested by Record publisher Zena Williams, the Town has appealed to Premier Christy Clark to request postponement of MMBC’s program until all levels of government and the business community can first discuss the issue.

The Town is waiting for its contract with Emterra to expire next year.

CVEDS ‘valuable’ but needs better ‘communication’

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and the Comox Valley Economic Development Society (CVEDS) will work on a number of recommendations as a result of an independent review of the economic development service function.

Urbanics Consultants was retained in 2013 by the CVRD to perform the review of its economic development service function, and of that function’s service delivery. The reports from Urbanics were received by the CVRD board of directors at its meeting Tuesday night.

The service function was reviewed using a combination of literature review and interviews with nine local governments and their respective economic development organizations. Examined were aspects of administrative structure, staff size, governance structure, role of elected officials, funding methods, requisition limits, cost-

Edwin Grieve recovery methods and borrowing practices.

“The service delivery and the service function reviews were useful processes, in that they identified a number of things that are working well with local governments and other like-minded business organizations, as well as identifying some areas that can work better,” said Edwin Grieve, chair of the CVRD. “For example, the review identified that

CVEDS is delivering a valuable service for the Comox Valley, but that we need to see improved transparency, public consultation and com-

“The CVEDS service review clearly reinforces the importance of regional economic development in the Comox Valley. Several of the report recommendations are complementary to specific areas of the updated Comox Valley Regional Economic Development Strategic Plan and the society’s detailed 2014 work plan,’ said Ian Whitehead, president of the CVEDS board of directors.

“The service review process was a most worthwhile undertaking, highlighting service delivery areas in which we have clearly succeeded, and noting specific areas for improvement in our

service delivery. We intend to continue to enhance our focus on communication with, and outreach to, the regional community,

ensuring our services are drawn upon by a broad spectrum of local businesses and industries.”

Aboriginal days set First in series of cultural events in schools happening at Highland

Highland Secondary School will launch the first of several Aboriginal Culture Days at Comox Valley schools, say the School District 71 aboriginal education team and the school.

Highland has been a leader in aboriginal education, not only creating the first ever Aboriginal Student Council in Canadian schools, and running First Nations English and Social Studies courses, but also on April 16, Highland will host its first whole-school Aboriginal Day — celebrating aboriginal culture in the 21st century.

The day will run like a large conference, offering an opening ceremony and keynote address, then every student will have a choice of two workshop sessions. The day will end with a traditional river dance.

“There is something for everyone.

Bannock-making, canoeing, carving, First Nations graffiti and that’s just what I read on the first page of the brochure,” says Priya Dawadi, a Grade 10 leadership student.

Highland has hosted whole school events like this one before, but in the past they were around a healthy lifestyles theme, bringing in experts from the community on nutrition, exercise and stress-management.

More than 10 per cent of Highland students identify themselves as aboriginal, just over 100 students, and they represent diverse nations — K’ómoks, Métis, Cree, Mohawk, to name a few.

Aboriginal Day at Highland will open with an art show and an opening address from local artist, linguist and mentor Andy Everson.

The next Aboriginal Days will be at Valley View Elementary on April 25, a Brooklyn Elementary rededication naming ceremony May 2 and Airport Elementary on May 8.

History coming alive The Lake Trail neighbourhood is rich with a secret history of pioneers, immigrants, and homesteaders.

You’re welcome to be at Lake Trail Middle School on Thursday, April 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. for a new series of “living history” videos that celebrate a year with the Lake Trail Living History Project.

Bubbly drinks, yummy appetizers from Zocalo, and the Con Brio String Trio will be on offer — plus the world video premiere and launch of the project’s new interactive website.

To document our area’s living pioneers for the public record, Grade 10 students took to the reins as community journalists.

They were coached about how to conduct the challenging twohour interviews in the intimacy of people’s homes.

The spirit, good humour and vitality of these elders shines through in the videos, featuring such luminaries as 95-year-old

WE CLEAN

radical Ruth Masters, keen historian Lawrence Burns, and fourth-generation resident Maureen Glowasky.

Maureen’s story is especially poignant for Lake Trail students: Her family grew up farming on the 160acre homestead where the school now stands.

The remaining lands became Roy Morrison Nature Park.

She gives a vivid glimpse into an age without streetlights, when a “sea of stumps stretched all the way to Powerhouse Road” and horses, pigs, and peacocks roamed the property.

The video shows the original layout and traces the path of the old mill flume — a four-mile watercourse dug by earnest volunteers in the early 20th century.

Produced by Lake Trail Neighbourhood

Connections, the project engaged seniors through a revival of heritage skills and community history, with funding from New Horizons for Seniors.

“Old and young today have few opportunities for sharing together,” says project organizer Dan Vie. “These skills and memories are endangered — we want to preserve their stories as a living body of knowledge for future generations.”

A discussion with the Living History Project’s participants follows this free video screening Thursday in the drama room.

If you can’t make it to this daytime event, as of mid-April see all the videos, read transcripts, and contribute your own stories to www.laketrailstories. ca.

HEAVY BASS FUSED with fiddle styles, Kytami brings her musical mashing to The Waverley Hotel April 18.

‘Rock-violin pioneer’ does the impossible If a line exists between classical and electronic, between ancient and new age, synthetic and organic, Kytami has sliced them all using only a violin bow, but what more does she need?

Apparently nothing at all, as Kytami has already been dubbed a ‘music revolutionary’ by Whats Up Magazine USA, a ‘violinistextremist’ here at home, and has been summoned to bring her violin thunder to audiences as far reaching as Taiwan, Dubai and Berlin.

Through an alchemy of classical, fiddle styles fused with the heavy bass elements of dubstep and hip hop, Kytami has managed to soar above not only the constraints of musical genre and labelling, but has forged a path so bold and unique that it’s taken

her alongside groups from Swollen Members to acoustic punk rockers Blackie and The Triumphs.

Ttoday she is regularly dubbed Canada’s most diverse and engaging fiddle player.

After co-founding the critically acclaimed global-fusion soundstorm Delhi 2 Dublin in 2006 and subsequently co-songwriting them toward international musical success until 2010, Kytami surged forward with her own solo career, bringing the essence of her music to audiences in its purest possible form.

The 2012 release of her eponymous full-length solo album made this a reality by combining the far flung elements of Classical Music, Dubstep, and the world that only Kytami knows.

In 2013 she won Live Act of The Year at the Vancouver Island Music Awards and Electronic/ Dance Recording of the Year at the 2013 Western Canadian Music Awards.

While the release of this new CD caused critics to again go about the business of trying to label that thing that Kytami does, others see the folly in trying.

“She does the impossible,” says festival director Ty Cooke, “She could make you crowd-surf to Pachelbel.

“People call her a rock-violin pioneer; people call her the live show of a lifetime; I guess they’ll keep trying to name the force that is Kytami but she’ll never let them.”

With all this enigma, what can you expect at a Kytami show?

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Well let’s start by straightening that out actually, the girl doesn’t play shows, she detonates dance floors.

Whether in front of Delhi 2 Dublin or Turntablist ‘The PhonoGraff,’ Kytami is internationally renowned for one thing: she rocks the fiddle like a woman possessed, and the audience dances to match.

From Germany to Hong Kong and Joshua Tree Festival to Shambhala, one thing is affirmed at Kytami concerts time and again — if you dare witness this violin diva take the stage, be prepared to wear through not only the soles of your dancing shoes, but perhaps the version of reality you brought to the door.

Special guest is Lady K, whose passion for music began as a four-

year-old, playing a paper keyboard and hearing music in her head.

After finishing a bachelor of music in education and composition 20 years later, she walked away from the classical world to explore more basstastic realms.

Her passion for tropical beats, world rhythms and bass bangers ignites her unbridled enthusiasm, which she spreads effortlessly and relentlessly. It is her goal in life to leave no bootie unshaken.

For more information, visit www.kytami.ca.

Kytami is coming to The Waverley Hotel in Cumberland on April 18. Tickets for the show are available at the Waverley, Bop City, by phone 250-336-8322 or online at cumberlandvillageworks.com — Cumberland Village Works

Musical planning

RACHEL FULLER AND Friends take to the stage at the Little Red Church as part of The Beltone Jazz Series April 17.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Jazz series continues The Beltone Jazz Series continues April 17 at The Little Red Church with another great evening of live jazz, as Rachel Fuller and Friends take to the stage.

This high skills local combo includes an eclectic mix of the Valley’s finest musicians featuring Rachel Fuller, Jay Havelaar, Charity Munro, Mike Eddy, Don MacKay and Neil Clark.

British musician Rachel Fuller moved to the Valley in 2010 with international career credentials as a sax/clarinet player.

Audiences are always mesmerized by her electronic wind instrument (EWI) with which she can jump through eight octaves in a split second, double up two notes at once, glide and bend notes and choose from an array of 50 preset sounds.

Jay Havelaar knows some seriously good

licks on the trumpet!

Havelaar’s attention to detail when reading charts is immaculate and he knows his chords back to front.

Lead vocalist of Time Well Wasted, Charity Munro, is not only a ‘rock-star’ but also an accomplished jazz, blues and soul vocalist. Munro has a unique purity to her voice that intrigues you to no end with her graceful approach, her perfect tuning and her wide vocal range.

Mike Eddy is a phenomenal jazz pianist who studied with George Robert and Bob Murphy.

Eddy’s well thought out solos are technically exceptional and full of life. Eddy twice received Alberta’s ‘Excellence in Teaching’ award, and in 1998 he was Alberta’s Band Director of the Year.

Bassist Don MacKay moved to the Valley after 30 years of play-

ing, directing, writing and teaching music in Victoria. During his tenure in that city, MacKay played with nearly everyone in the jazz scene.

Victoria-born drummer Neil Clark has spent many years collaborating with some of the best local and international musicians.

This Thursday’s opener, is 64-yearsyoung Walter Jordan, who is a perfect example of the old saying “it’s never too late” to pursue your passion.

The Beltone Jazz Series is a family-friendly venue, located at The Little Red Church hall in Comox.

Advance tickets are $10 and available at Bop City in Courtenay and The Red Carpet Boutique in Comox.

Doors open at 7 and the performance begins at 7:30 p.m.

CARLE BRENNEMAN WON the Canadian woman’s snowboardcross championship.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

In the senior women’s final, Brenneman took top spot in the quarter-finals, semifinals and final for the gold medal. Zoe Bergemann of Acton, Ont., was second, Tayler Wilton of Collingwood, Ont., third and Meryeta O’Dine of Prince George was fourth.

“Big White was a super fun race and I’m proud of all the younger girls for rippin’ it up and keeping me on my toes,” said Brenneman. “I’m excited to finally claim the Canadian national title.”

It was positive finish to the season for Brenneman who fell short in her bid to land a spot on the Olympic team. “This season hasn’t been the easiest for me,” she said. “So it was great to end on a positive note.

It’s been awesome to have my team there pushing me all season and I’m proud of them for all their accomplishments in such an important season.”

Roger Carver of the U.S., won the men’s final ahead of Hill who takes the national title as the top Canadian. Robert Fagan of Squamish was third and fourth in the final was James Harris of the U.S. Chris Robanske of Calgary won the consolation final for the third best Canadian.

THE MARMALADE EVENT was won by the Costantino foursome consisting of Nicolas Costantino, Koen Sperber, JJ MacNeil and Carter Shercliffe.

Kids loved JamCan The inaugural JamCan Spiel held at the Comox Valley Curling Centre this past weekend was a huge success, organizers say.

“Epic fun!” “Exciting!” “Awesome” and “Spectacular” are some of the words used by the kids to describe their experience.

Ranging in age from six to 12, the kids all participated in four games using homemade “rocks.” Lunch was served both days with some extra special treats thrown in.

Many thanks to Becky and Mark for the prep-

aration of the lunches.

This was not possible without the help from all the volunteers who came out and made this happen. Supervising 64 children was a feat in itself.

At the end of the day four teams rose to the top. The Strawberry Event was won by the Taylor Team consisting of Paige Taylor, Ayden Taylor, Helena Bravo and Belle Gill.

The Blueberry Event was won by the Munro Team comprising Will Munro, Matt Munro, Akira Munro and James Munro.

Taking the Plum Event was the Holland Team, which included Henry Holland, Sarah McQueen, Leeland McDonald and Isabella McDonald.

The final, the Marmalade Event, was won by the Costantino foursome consisting of Nicolas Costantino, Koen Sperber, JJ MacNeil and Carter Shercliffe.

“For most of the kids this was a new experience. Much fun was had by all,” an event spokesperson said.

The Courtenay Lawn Bowling Club is trying a different approach for new members this year.

For those who have never bowled and would like to try the game, there will be open house on April 16 and 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. If you have concerns about back or knee problems, we have a tool, a UBI launcher. This item allows the bowler to remain upright while delivering the bowl.

If you are interested in further knowledge of the game, the coaching sessions start on April 21 and are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday April 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 and May 5 and 6.

The actual games playing starts on May 7 with the Mixed Triples league. For further information call Jackie West 250-338-4289 or leave a message at the clubhouse 250-3388222.

There are several versions of the game: singles and doubles (four bowls delivered by each player); triples (three bowls by each of three players) and

zone club tournaments, provincial events and national events (also Senior Game has a lawn bowling category).

Further activities in April include the semi-annual general meeting at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 13. Brunch at 11 a.m. and bowling to follow, weather permitting.

Opening Day with the flag raising and the march around the green with bowling to follow is Sunday, April 20, 1 p.m.

There will be some work parties organized as well to get things all spruced up for a season busy with hosting events.

PUBLIC NOTICE WATER MAIN FLUSHING and FIRE HYDRANT MAINTENANCE (March 31 – May 2) The Town of Comox Public Works Department wishes to notify residents and businesses that we will be undertaking the annual flushing of water mains and maintenance of all fire hydrants within the Town of Comox. This program is necessary to ensure good water quality through the removal of natural sediment accumulations.

This program will commence on Monday, March 31, 2014 and should be completed by Friday, May 2, 2014. All work will take place from Monday to Friday between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm.

This program may result in temporary but harmless discoloration of the water and although it does not present a hazard to your health, it is advised that you reserve some drinking water for that time.

Should discoloration occur, running a cold water tap for a short period will help to restore water quality to normal. Where practical, residents should avoid washing laundry during operational hours as to do so could result in discoloration of clothes.

The Town of Comox would like to thank users for their patience and cooperation during this program.

Should you have any questions or concerns please call 250.339.5410.

Although you were competitors, you’ve also been good neighbours.

Linda Joyce (Plager) McLoughlin November 1949 ~ April 2014 Survived by her only son Andrew McLoughlin of Courtenay, BC, her mother Chantel and her sisters: Shirley, Sandra, Lorraine, Gayle and Trudi.

Linda passed peacefully at her home in Qualicum Beach after a brave fight with Lung Cancer.

She was supported by her many friends and family through her illness and the family would like to thank all those for their comforting efforts on her behalf. Linda was always a champion of any and all those in need and therefore any donations can be made to your local food bank or soup kitchen in her name.

Linda was a one of a kind soul and her generosity will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

In her later years Charlotte moved from the U.S. to Haida Gwaii so as to be closer to her children and her grandsons.

She resided for many years in the Queen Charlotte Heritage House for Seniors. In late 2006, Charlotte moved to the Cumberland Lodge where she received specialized care from the dedicated team.

Preventing hospital visits “Up to 80 per cent of the medical information patients receive is forgotten immediately, and nearly half of the information retained is incorrect,” says Dr. Peter Pronovost of Johns Hopkins Medicine.

When you combine this statistic with the fact that most seniors take more than four prescriptions, plus over-the-counter supplements and medicines, former nurse and Comox Valley entrepreneur Heather Cooper knew there had to be a better way to minimize the likelihood of drug interactions and hospitalization issues when people don’t know what medicines they are taking or the correct dosages.

After searching for a product that would allow her to keep medical information in one place, and in a format that is easy to update and take to doctors’ visits (or the ER), she couldn’t find such an organizer that would be thorough yet versatile.

So, she created one.

With encouragement from doctors, nurses, family and friends, Cooper created her first prototype product, the All-In-One Healthcare Kit. She spent a year in a test-market phase — and even presented it to the Dragons’ Den in Campbell River — where she received encouragement and advice.

After minor modifications to the testmarket product and its branding, Cooper is pleased to announce the opening of her

Might end be near for Parti Quebecois?

Normally, elections in other provinces are of little interest to B.C. residents.

But the Parti Quebecois mused about separatism and campaigned openly on a Charter of Quebec Values that was one of the most discriminatory documents in recent Canadian history.

Pauline Marois borrowed a page from Adrian Dix’s unsuccessful campaign in B.C. a year ago.

She went off script part way through the campaign, bringing up separatism after her star candidate Pierre-Karl Peladeau proclaimed the need for independence.

It was her “Kinder Morgan” moment, damage she could not repair.

Even though some of those who voted against her support separatism, very few want a referendum any time soon.

Her lack of focus on jobs and the economy was also a crucial error.

Quebec has one of the weakest economies in the country and a poor job creation record. Any talk of separatism causes investors to give it the cold shoulder. Marois seemed unperturbed by all this.

The charter would not pass muster when challenged in court, so in the last week of the campaign, Marois stated she would use the notwithstanding clause to ensure it took effect. While some undoubtedly cheered, that was another reminder to many voters just how off course the PQ was.

New premier Philippe Couillard has stated Canada is a great country to be part of. At the same time, he plans to vigorously defend the French language. However, he extended an olive branch to other Quebecers in his victory speech, which is a good omen.

Couillard has promised to tackle some of the province’s economic issues Meanwhile, the PQ is now leaderless, with Marois having resigned on Monday night. Perhaps its days are numbered.

While still lower than normal for this time of year, Comox Lake — the main source of public water in the Comox Valley — is rising again.

The MMBC recycling plan is a unifying force — small businesses, newspapers and various other sectors agree it’s a badly flawed program.

Change of gov’t inevitable Dear edior, Recently your newspaper printed a letter to the editor written by Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of Buckerfields, an agricultural and garden supply business with its head office in Duncan.

His complaint is the creation of MMBC, B.C.’s newly created organization that will have a near monopoly in the collection of printed paper, container and packaging waste, causing his company and many other B.C. businesses a lot more money for recycling.

These increased costs will be passed onto the consumer.

This new system is replacing very successful community-based recycling programs needlessly.

Included on the board for MMBC are representatives of Proctor and Gamble, Walmart, CocaCola, Loblaw’s and Tim Hortons, all of them from Ontario or Quebec.

What seems to irk Mr. McCulloch the most is that none of this went anywhere near our legislature for debate, causing him to spend time trying to revive democratic processes in B.C. He also expresses the opinion that MMBC is not needed in B.C., as our recycling in B.C. is successful.

The day after the printing of Mr. McCulloch’s letter, the other

Comox Valley newspaper printed an article headlined “Campbell River mayor highly critical of MMBC recycling.”

Walter Janeway, the mayor of Campbell River, is quoted as saying, “Trying to fix a problem that does not exist could choke businesses and increase costs to consumers,” “The provincial government has not explained the benefits of the proposal, except to offer the ‘illusion’ that taxpayers won’t foot the bill” and “The public should not be surprised to see the costs of purchases rising to cover MMBC-imposed regulations.”

The BC Chamber of Commerce has acknowledged that there are legitimate concerns with the MMBC deal, as has the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, both organizations that are normally very supportive of the Liberal government in Victoria.

Newspapers Canada (which includes the BC & Yukon Community Newspapers Association) and a group of eight business associations representing tens of thousands of B.C. small businesses and their employees in the agriculture, newspaper publishing, landscaping, printing and custom manufacturing, retail, wholesale, food, and waste collection sectors have launched a first

series of ads to inform the public about B.C.’s new recycling plan.

These ads speak against the new recycling program.

Once again it appears the Liberal government has “fixed” a problem that did not exist.

(The Clean Energy Act was passed in 2009 to supposedly fix the “problem” of not being totally self-sufficient in hydroelectricity production, resulting in BC Hydro being forced by BC Liberal government legislation to buy power from Independent Power Producers at prices higher than what they can sell it at.)

For the past half dozen years or so, the provincial government of the day has used the expression “B.C. is open for business” to attract investment.

What the owners and operators of small- to medium-sized businesses in B.C. are now realizing, despite the rhetoric emitted from various ministers’ mouths, is that the provincial government is catering mostly to big business.

And if in that process smaller businesses or the general public are harmed, it is callously regarded as — in military terms — collateral damage.

A change in government is inevitable.

Dennis Flynn, Courtenay

Dear editor, I see RiverWood has a half page advert in the Record.

Hope springs eternal — I see there has been a bit of creative map-making with their proposal.

Just as Enbridge left out all the islands in the Douglas Channel to make their project look better, the map in the paper indicates that 3L is giving away access across their neighbours’ land.

Sorry, but the land from Bull Island to below the logging road bridge you glossed over belongs to the Crown and TimberWest.

I also see that 3L encourages “booming!!” development in the Comox Valley as it we didn’t learn our lessons the last time as we fork out masses amounts of taxes to repair broken and overwhelmed infrastructure from the last round of rampant growth.

Not trying to influence an

OCP review or municipal elections are we?

Maybe when you go meet with the planners for your personal session of the OCP review we can all sit in and listen to the developers argue their positions.

Just as they do with the public sessions we get to speak at. What’s fair for the goose is fair for the gander, right?

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, April 15, 2014

Mack Laing’s final wishes should be honoured Dear editor, Re: “Heritage home not necessary” (Record, April 8).

The Mack Laing Heritage Society was dismayed to read Mr. A. Farrell’s illinformed and publicly misleading letter concerning the society’s work to restore Mack Laing’s house at Baybrook, in keeping with Mack Laing’s will and testament.

First, any claim that renovation will be carried out “at some considerable expense to the Town” is absolutely false. The project is designed to be of no cost to the Town of Comox and the taxpayer.

All work has been undertaken “pro-bono” by a group of retired professionals who feel that this is a valuable part of the Comox Valley’s heritage, and an important economic opportunity for the

whole Valley.

These facts are set out in The Mack Laing House Report, as presented to the Town council in October 2013, reported in the press and entered in the public record — for all to see.

because of people who, like Mr. Farrell would like us to forget our Canadian heritage by belittling the contributions of our founding fathers, and forgetting our history.

Mack Laing is remembered in the

❝

Not to respect the will of a founding father, who generously gave so much to the Comox Valley, would be an egregious form of elder abuse.

❞

Dr. Loys Maingon Second, Dr. Richard Mackie, who is in point of fact a member of The Mack Laing Heritage Society and one of those professionals who have donated their time and expertise, is outraged

by Mr. Farrell’s scurrilous claims.

Unfortunately, the biography he wrote 30 years ago is no longer in print and hard to come by, largely

history of Canadian science, by the species which are named after him, and as one of Canada’s greatest collectors in the period between 1914 and 1939. He is quintessentially Canadian.

Third, those trails through MacDonald Woods, and the woodlands that Mack Laing generously entrusted to the Town of Comox for the benefit of gen-

from October through March is not being stolen from you. That is definitely an opinion not shared by many of us.

I spoke to Mr. Rutten shortly after his rebuttal to my letter, and he tried to tell me that the rates reflected the cost of the service,

erations to come, are only accessible for Mr. Farrell’s enjoyment, because of the tenacity and foresight of the Comox Valley’s environmental community.

These same environmentalists had the vision to understand the potential social and future economic value of these woodlands — as publicly accessible recreational biodiversity spaces.

These woodlands, the trails and the rich bird habitat they now harbour draw tourists every year.

They were kept from the chainsaw and condo development, with considerable courage and struggle, by the heirs of Mack Laing, “those volunteers” Mr. Farrell gratuitously refers to. This is part of the Mack Laing legacy which is now fundamental to the high-quality of life and

Water explanation disputed

Dear editor, Mr. Rutten replied to my letter in the papers by telling you that the water you don’t use but paid for

Either pull over or speed up Dear editor, To prove we are as passive-aggressive as we are known to be, a visitor to Canada just has to come to CV/ VanIsland and try to drive the speed limit.

They’ll be curious as to the custom of driving 10 to 20 km/h slower. And if they are trying to sightsee, they will be more curious as to why the driver ahead slows down to sometimes half the posted speed to prevent them from passing and also enabling them to be late.

In my case, I was merely trying to get

home so my screaming baby could get to bed on time. Inevitably, I go to bed two hours later if the schedule is off by 10 minutes, which it was tonight.

As I tried to give the slow driver ahead of me enough space to prevent them from slowing down further to 40 km/h (which they did, by the way), I thought of different scenarios — me trying to get home to get my dying great-grandmother her socks so she could have warm feet as she lay in her deathbed.

Or my child crying

with a broken arm as we tried to get to the hospital.

Or my husband lying on the ground, having fallen off a ladder, waiting for me to get home. Or me, in labour, trying to get to the hospital.

Maybe a bit morbid, but plausible.

Creating ire in the driver behind by being thoughtless is not a model of safe driving.

Let’s be a bit more kind and thoughtful, CV, and either pull over (signal first) or speed up.

Jen McMullen, Comox Valley

not the amount of water used. This is not the way it is.

To reiterate, if you use more than 15 cubic metres of water in any given month you will pay for that extra water at a higher rate. The fact that they separated the two months where you would normally use more water onto two different bills does not change what I said.

If you don’t use it you lose it; and if you need more than your allotted amount, you will pay for it at a higher rate.

Just bill us once a year for 180 cubic metres of water and adjust the difference at the end of the year.

The meters show who abuses the water.

Use the technology to work for us, not against us.

R. McCulloch, Area B

economic value of local property.

In addition to his invaluable land legacy, Mack Laing’s will left in trust a substantial sum of money ($55,000) in 1982, and explicitly requested that his “home be used as a natural history museum.” Not to respect the will of a founding father, who generously gave so much to the Comox Valley, would be an egregious form of elder abuse. The Mack Laing Heritage Society endeavours to respect that dying request —

at no cost to the Town of Comox.

Baybrook is to be restored, in keeping with Mack Laing’s will, as a Nature Interpretive Centre open to the public, which will house nature education and an office to co-ordinate conservation tourism, which is a hidden, but important local economic driver to create jobs for youth.

Indeed, Mr. Farrell is right in only two things: Mack Laing’s legacy has “become a prime asset for Comox,” and Bay-
