Community invited to Sproule celebration well wishes for Jamie and his family. The volunteer team of eight that found him were using the tight grid pattern learned from Search and Rescue and were working in a confined area of old logging slash covered in low bush. It was 5 p.m. in the evening and the group planned to keep working till they had covered all the area.

It was a moment of surprise and great joy.

People are hailing it as “a miracle”.

Please come and wish Jamie well.

Submitted A “Jamie Sproule is Found” celebration will take place at the Cultural Centre in Cumberland on Saturday July 26 at 5 p.m.

It will be an opportunity to share stories, songs and poems about the search. There will also be a potluck supper. Proceeds from donations at the bar will go to the Cumberland Community Forest Society (cumberlandforest.com), which is seeking to buy forest land around Cumberland to protect as parkland.

Jamie survived six days in the bush near his home in Cumberland before being found alive on May 27. He is recovering well in hos-

Hot weather, hotter music at Vancouver Island MusicFest

had as many hornet stings as we had in the past.”

Scott Stanfield and Terry Farrell Record Staff

Vancouver Island MusicFest invariably promises a weekend of memorable moments — and surprises. For instance, at the 20th edition of the annual gathering at the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds, Colin James made a guest appearance alongside Bonnie Raitt at the Concert Bowl to close out the Saturday program.

Earlier in the evening at the other end of the fairgrounds, the Royal Southern Brotherhood blew the roof off the Barn. The band features Cyril Neville of the Neville Brothers and Devon Allman, the son of Gregg Allman.

Though together just a few years, the band has already performed in 30 countries.

“We are a toddler in the musical world,” said Allman, one of two guitarists in the band. “We’ve been hitting it hard since Day 1. The fact that Cyril plays percussion is like the icing on the cake. Any time you get two drummers, two guitar players, there’s going to be that comparison (with the Allman Brothers lineup). It wasn’t by design. Cyril’s a bad ass singer, but he also happens to play percussion.”

The other guitarist, Mike Zito, also provides vocals alongside Allman and Neville. Such diversity, says the 39-year-old Allman, is a strength of the band.

“You get sick of one cat or one thing, it’s always moving,” he said.

The Courtenay stop was a oneoff performance for the Brotherhood, which played other parts of Canada earlier in the year. It just returned from Norway. After MusicFest, it was off to Montana.

While touring, Allman manages to spend a couple days at home in St. Louis, enough time to wash his clothes and hug his son.

Woldwide talent

First aid attendee Melanie Boulding was as popular as they come on Sunday, as she manned the misting hose, cooling off festival attendees.

“Proper Irish name. We found out we were pregnant in Belfast,” Nero said. “I’m Irish on my mom’s side.”

Nero — who performed at the 2010 MusicFest with Po Girl — figures he and Russell spend more time with their daughter on the road than if they were working 9 to 5 at home.

“It’s a great little traveling family unit,” he said. “Like any first-time parents, you figure it out as you go.”

Volunteers make it happen

Aside from the array of quality performers, MusicFest is driven by an army of dedicated volunFamily tour for some teers, from people at the front The husband and wife duo of gates to those dishing out water Allison Russell and JT Nero take to dehydrated fans.

what we do,” he said. “It’s really growing. It started about five or six years ago with just a few bikes, and they really developed it.”

By Saturday morning the area had contained about 300 bikes.

“We encourage people being green and cycling out here,” said fellow attendee Matt Bourget, a campground volunteer at previous festivals. “It’s all nice people.

No problems.”

Carmen Russell of Comox has been tending the parking lot the past four festivals, where she has met an assortment of interesting people. This year it was Bonne Raitt. Two years ago, she met Emmylou Harris and k.d. lang.

When asked what she likes best about volunteering, Russell paused a moment before responding: “Happy, happy, happy.”

First-aid kept busy MusicFest volunteer paramedic co-ordinator T.J. Moore said that for the most part people

came very well prepared for the unusually high temperatures.

“We have certainly had our share of visitors to the festival complaining of heat-related issues, but for the most part, people have appeared to have got the message beforehand, to come prepared,” he said.

And for those who didn’t, festival organizers made sure there was plenty of hydration sources available - from sprinklers at booths and drinking water taps strategically placed onsite, to portable water carts mulling throughout the grounds.

“The festival has had 20 years to learn, and over that 20 years we have made sure that we improved every year,’ said Moore, who added that heat was not the only problem this year.

“The hornets are out in force this year. We have had a number of nests found, so we have had a bunch of guys out bombing nests as soon as they are found - but surprisingly, with the number of nests we found, we haven’t even

Artistic director/executive producer Doug Cox was all smiles, as the show was coming to an end, Sunday evening.

“Wow. It‘s been an amazing weekend,” he said.

The 2014 edition was Cox’s 17th as the musical director, and his far-reaching connections provided music fans with talent from as far away as Zimbabwe and Korea this year.

“I just love music,” he said as explanation for his ability to draw talent from all over. “I listen to a lot of music. That’s the real answer. I feel like we are representing world-class music, from all over the world and that’s important to me.

“There will come a time that I won’t be the right guy to be doing this, because as I get older I will probably lose touch with a chunk of the population, but thankfully it hasn’t happened yet.”

High praise

MusicFest marketing manager Susan Wood had high praise for her production team.

“Doug’s magic at bringing people together to create a musical experience like no one has ever had before is so special … the diversity is remarkable. He is so gifted at it, and so humble about it.”

And now for the long off-season.

“I think it’s a week they get off,” said Wood, only partially tongue-in-cheek. “But really, the behind-the-scenes people – Marcie Jaster (operations manager and performer services), Cresslyn Fay (production manager), Doug Cox – they have probably started (planning for 2015) already. They have already had a meeting to discuss what we need to do next year, so I don’t think the planning ever stops.

“The refinement over 20 years has just been remarkable and I think that next year is just going to be a little better than this year.”

Monetary settlement for 3L Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Neither the CVRD nor 3L Developments will deny that a monetary settlement has been reached in an alleged human rights issue between the district and the developer, stemming from an application to develop land near Stotan Falls, although neither side will confirm amounts.

Local media outlets have said the Comox Valley Regional District board agreed in-camera on a settlement sum in the range of $10,000 to $20,000, based on advice from lawyers.

“There was a settlement,” 3L spokesman Kabel Atwall said. “I can’t talk to the specifics.”

The settlement follows a decision

by CVRD board chair Edwin Grieve and district CAO Deb Oakman not to attend further meetings or participate in discussions related to 3L Development lands.

The district has said their decision was private and “made in an abundance of caution.”

3L has applied for an amendment to a bylaw pertaining to the Regional Growth Strategy, which guides growth and development in the Valley over the long-term. At the last committee of the whole meeting, directors approved in a 7-3 vote a staff recommendation to not initiate a bylaw amendment. Courtenay directors Starr Winchester, Bill Anglin and Manno Theos opposed the recommendation.

3L lawyers are threatening legal action against the vote.

“Our client is entitled to the procedural steps for amendments established in the RGS, and if those steps are not followed by the board, our client will seek its remedy in the courts,” John Alexander of Cox Taylor states in a letter to the CVRD.

Record Staff

Sentencing is scheduled for September for the now 17-year-old driver who pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident causing bodily harm to 25-year-old Molly Burton.

The hearing is set for Sept. 5 at 9 a.m in Courtenay.

Last week, a full gallery at the Courtenay courthouse heard during victim impact statements how four

surgeries were required to clean the dirt and brambles from Burton’s wounds following a hit-and-run last year which has confined the Comox Valley resident to a wheelchair.

She suffered the injuries to her lower right leg and right arm when she was struck by a vehicle on Comox (Dyke) Road around 11:30 p.m. Sept. 11, 2013.

The driver cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. photos@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Mixed reaction to oyster raft proposal Scott Stanfield Record Staff

A proposal to add 30 oyster rafts in Baynes Sound met with mixed reaction among 18 attendees at a recent public hearing at the regional district board room.

Oyster farmer Shao Ping Kang said he intends to create jobs, benefit the local economy, and mitigate negative impacts on marine life and habitat.

He was supported by Courtenay resident Jenny Xie and by Roberta Stevenson, executive director of the BC Shellfish Growers Association.

The latter said shellfish farming is a solid means of employment that provides an opportunity for immigrants.

Union Bay resident Janet Thomas — concerned about increased amounts of plastic and garbage — cited studies about levels of micro plastics in Baynes Sound. Noting styrofoam debris from the breakup of oyster rafts, she advocates a limit to future “biofouling” in the waters.

Stevenson — confident Kang intends to address issues of plastic debris — said it is in the best interest of farmers to avoid adding plastics to the water or to have trays go astray. She notes the shellfish industry is highly regulated and that farmers must comply or risk losing their licence.

Kang has requested a rezoning from aquaculture AQ-1 to AQ-2 to use structures less than one metre above water.

Thomas called for a moratorium on further expansion until a study

is conducted to determine the state of the water and carrying capacity for aquaculture in Baynes Sound.

She noted the area suffered a loss of scallops in February due to ocean acidification.

She presented 50-plus submissions from residents opposed to the rezoning proposal.

“Ninety per cent of Baynes Sound is already leased, and now they want to put 30 more oyster rafts down here,” fellow Union Bay resident Carolyn Touhey said. “It’s not that we were against the rafts per se, it’s that we don’t feel due diligence has been done on an environmental standpoint.”

Despite opposition from residents, Touhey suggested the application has been “ramrodded through.” She questioned if there are other more industrialized locations such as Fanny Bay that could work for the applicant.

“It just seems like there’s not a compromise,” she said.

Area A director Bruce Jolliffe, who chaired the June 16 meeting, said the application is following the standard rezoning process.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations — not the CVRD — regulates aquaculture and will decide whether or not to grant a tenure. The area is already zoned AQ-1, which means the ministry could grant a tenure without a rezoning, Jolliffe added.

The application is up for final reading. Jolliffe, Area B director Jim Gillis and Area C director Edwin Grieve will vote on the rezoning. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Record-breaking heat on Sunday Erin Haluschak Record Staff

If it feels unusually hot in the Comox Valley, then you’re right — Sunday’s high of 32.5 C broke a new temperature record, with little relief on the way for the rest of the week.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Allan Coldwells said Sunday’s temperature recorded at the Comox Airport surpassed the old record of 31.1 C set in 1961.

“There’s a strong ridge of high pressure drawing levels from the southern U.S., from the desert, and it’s giving us lots of sun and high temperatures,” he explained.

Although it may feel unusual, Coldwells said it’s not unheard of for temperatures to be elevated for an extended stretch in July in the Comox Valley.

“It is a little bit early — we usually see temperatures in the low 30s in late July or

early August. The record for (last) Friday is 34 C, so it has happened, but the temperatures vary day-to-day.”

As of press deadline Monday, temperatures were forecast to surpass 30 C, and Coldwells noted it is possible another record will be broken, with a record of 29.4 C for July 14 recorded in 1958.

He added because of the clear, sunny skies, temperatures have more of a chance to reach maximum values, and

Thanks to the implementation of minimum drink pricing in B.C., the Courtenay Elks Club has been forced to raise its prices.

“We had to increase our prices by 50 cents minimum, which doesn’t sound like much but it really is to the people that come here,” says Elks manager Lisa Woolman, noting the price of a pint of beer (20 oz.) at the club rose from $4.50 to $5 after the new rules came into effect late-June.

“Of course our being a club … (our lower prices are) sort of like a reward for our members and guests, who pay dues. So, then it means now they pay dues and then plus you have to charge the minimum price.”

As the Province introduced ‘happy hour’ pricing — allowing licensed establish-

ments to sell drinks at discounted prices for periods of the day — it also set minimum drink pricing based on quantity. For example, draught beer can’t be cheaper t h a n $0.25 p e r ounce at any time at a licensed establishment.

The Elks Club previously charged $0.23 per ounce.

Minimum pricing for packaged beer, cider and coolers is $0.25 per ounce, or $3 per 341 ml bottle or or 355 ml can. Wine is $0.60 per ounce or $3 per 5 ounce glass and liqueurs or spirits is $2 per ounce.

A Ministry of Justice news release notes minimum pricing was implemented to “encourage responsible consumption,” as per views heard from industry and health

advocates during the Province’s Liquor Policy Review.

“They’ve been worried about people over-consuming and therefore, have set the minimum charge. But, in doing so it seems that they didn’t have the forethought at the same time to think how that would affect the industry further than that one little window they’re looking in,” says Woolman.

“One could argue that if they go home, then we don’t have the drinking and driving issue, but they do because people want to get together with other people, a lot of the time. So, they still have to deal with their cabs, or their (designated drivers) or whatever it is.”

Whistle Stop Pub

said although the broad ridge of high pressure is blanketing the province, there “definitely will be some cooling down.”

“By mid-week, there will be some northwest winds just enough to cool things down around 28 C, 26 C, which is about five degrees above normal,” he explained.

The westerly flow could bring some patchy, low-level clouds too, with the weekend offering a possible mix of sun and clouds.

owner Barry VanDusen hasn’t been forced to raise his prices because his prices were already higher than the minimum; however, he has no plan to even consider ‘happy hour’ pricing at his establishment.

“This happy hour thing, as I said before and I’ll say forever, it’s ridiculous,” says VanDusen. “It’s promoting power drinking and then guess what, people will get in their vehicles and drive, and it’s putting more onus on my staff to make sure that people don’t drink and drive.”

Meanwhile, White Whale Public House coowner Max Oudendag is pleased to have a happy hour option, though he points out the White Whale opened July 1, after happy hour was implemented in B.C. The White Whale offers pints of beer for $5 from 4:20 to 5:20 p.m., but Oudendag says it’s too soon to

“It’s really hard to know exactly who’s coming in because it’s happy hour or just coming in and happening to be here for it,” says Oudendag.

“It’s a nice option for us as a restaurant for us to be able to use something like that to get people in and I think in the next months we’ll start to be able to gauge how much it’s actually helping to driving traffic.” writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

CMYC: Great shows begin with great casting Expectations high for Thoroughly Modern Millie after superb audition sessions Lynn Hodge Special to the Record

Audition (from the World Dictionary): a test at which a performer or musician is asked to demonstrate his/her ability for a particular role.

Now imagine 36 youth, some for their third year in a row, waiting all year for the opportunity to spend two 12-hour days participating in auditions for a summer show.

And imagine three directors listening, watching, discussing and conferring over these two days to make the best decision for each and every one of these talented youth. This is how summer began at the Comox Valley Youth Music Centre’s Musical Theatre program.

learn choreography quickly, who ask intelligent questions, and who put their heart and soul into their performances. Being able to ‘sell’ the character to the audience is more important than perfection.

As a first time CYMC musical director, Shannon Tyrell said it was wonderful to be the unbiased third ear, and was amazed at how well prepared the kids came. She believed it was a very professional process; these youth are the best from where they’ve come and were ready from day one.

Graeme Linton, an 18-year-old, second-year CYMC participant from Terrace, B.C., says you audition on your strengths today and for their potential for the show.

“I did what I could and trusted they would know best.”

M a i a Macpherson is 16 and flew all the w a y from

Dubai to be part of CYMC. She felt the auditions were unusually welcoming and is happy where she ended up.

Late-night announcement Everyone is asked to come prepared with a song and monologue, and throughout the two days, continual call-backs and opportunities to dance, sing and act are interspersed with various workshops (yoga, improv, stage combat). The cast list was announced at 1 a.m. the morning of day three. Everyone was excited and positive about the whole learning experience and ready to jump into the rehearsal process at 9 a.m. that morning.

As Mazey summed up, “How much unbelievable tal-

Long process Director Lori Mazey describes the process as long and intense but great.

She is a believer in the philosophy that for directors, casting is 80 per cent of the job. Getting it right for every single role, no matter how big or small, lightens the work load immensely. Spending two full days on auditions also gives each participant a chance to feel as though they have really been given a fair shot.

Choreographer Lindsay Sterk looks for actors and dancers who are doing their best to

ent we had in the room. We found ourselves in a position of not choosing who was good enough, but who would be the best fit overall.”

Opening July 16 and running for five shows, Thoroughly Modern Millie is CYMC’s musical production at the Sid Williams Theatre. It tells of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City to marry for money instead of love – a thoroughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce. Millie soon takes delight in the flapper lifestyle, but problems arise when she checks into a hotel owned by the leader of a white slavery ring in China.

Audiences can enjoy the ’20s era via a show filled with hilarity, terrific dancing and infectious music.

Show dates for Thoroughly Modern Millie are July 16, 17, 18, and 19 at 7:30 and Saturday matinee on July 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets are on sale at Sid Williams Theatre Box Office ($23 for matinee and $25 for evening performances). Don’t miss it!

David Bacica and Meghan Caine star in Courtenay Youth Music Centre’s (CYMC) ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’.

Ida-Marie Huska (hair) and Kayla Rae Stewart (make-up), both from Roots, prepared the actors.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, July 15, 2014

Indie-folk powerhouse Fish & Bird at Filberg Park Submitted The Filberg Summer Concert Series is excited to welcome Fish & Bird for the second concert of the summer season on Thursday, July 17. Head out to the stunningly beautiful grounds of Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park and enjoy world-class live music on the park’s brand new stage.

Fish & Bird were once known as Victoria’s most promising folk duo, but over the past few years they have evolved into Canada’s most unique folk-rock ensemble.

This critically acclaimed group began in 2006 as an acoustic duo of Taylor Ashton (banjo, guitar, vocals) and Adam Iredale-Gray (fiddle).

In 2007, they put together recordings of a few of Ashton’s quirky folk tunes, made cases out of recycled file folders, and labelled them “Fish & Bird” (with homemade rubber stamps). Their sound was a hometown hit.

Their take on ‘folk’ included original songs in odd time signatures and traditional murder ballads with rock beats.

Their 2009 CD, Left Brain Blues, was a more mature exploration of the space between folk traditions and reckless creativity, with Ashton and Gray playing multiple instruments.

Some of the friends they enlisted to fill out the sound

Fish & Bird bring their unique sound to the main stage Thursday. on record and at live shows became permanent band members, and Fish & Bird became the five-piece indiefolk powerhouse fans know today.

Their music hovers somewhere in the void between newgrass and indie-folk.

Folk is kind of the main idea, but nowadays kids get their records from all over the place. Bluegrass, country, art-rock, jazz, the Beach Boys – these individual influences come out if you listen, but the

strength is in the blend. The songs get you in the heart and the music messes with your head (in a good way).

Their CD, Every Whisper Is A Shout Across the Void, came out in 2012, featuring the band pretty much exactly as they sound playing together all at once. And while fans wait for their next juicy disc to drop, come see them at the Filberg Summer Concert Series and check out their truly unique and heart-swelling sound.

Volleyball star Gunter earns another award

Brad Gunter had a breakout season in men’s volleyball in 2013-14. The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack outside hitter played for the National Junior team, was named both the Canada West and CIS player of the year.

Now, the Courtenay native has won another prestigious award.

Gunter is the 2014 recipient of the Ray Lepp Memorial Scholarship.

Volleyball BC executive director Chris Densmore said Gunter’s application was selected from a pool of highly qualified candidates. “Your selection demonstrates the strength of your application, especially your commitment to performance and excellence and potential to join the Canadian National Team.”

“This is a great honoujr,” said Gunter, who has since tried out for and made Canada’s Senior B men’s team.

Gunter will receive $2,000 which he will put toward his education. He is entering his second year of the Bachelor of Business Administration degree program at Thompson Rivers in Kamloops.

“This has been a great year for Brad,” said WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly.

“He is deserving of all these accomplishments. Brad has put the time and effort on the court and in the weight room.”

Hennelly adds: “This is an award that many great players in the

past have won in B.C.” “It means a lot to me that Volleyball BC has recognized me as an outstanding athlete,” Gunter explains.

“A lot of my training came from Volleyball BC and the provincial teams over the years.

They have helped me get to where I am today.”

Gunter states that winning this award will also put him into a position where he will be more of a leader on and off the court with the WolfPack in the coming years. “I will definitely have to take on a larger leadership role, especially with Colin (Carson, setter, Prince George) graduating. With my experience with the national team, I believe I can lead with intensity and high-end play.”

Gunter becomes the fourth player with ties to TRU to win this award, following in the footsteps of Gord Perrin (Creston 2008), Kyle Donen (White Rock 2007) and current WolfPack women’s head coach and former men’s assistant coach Chad Grimm (Quesnel 1998). Grimm won the award while playing with the UBC Thunderbirds.

Riptide win B.C. title and earn Fair Play award The Upper Vancouver Island Riptide U14 boys made their soccer season last nearly a year – and what a year it was.

Pre-season training began in August, with a strong regular season seeing them finish second to Saanich Fusion in the Island division.

Playoffs in March saw Riptide beating Saanich Fusion on PKs to win the Island berth to Provincials, and second place in the Surrey Mayor’s Cup tournament.

In April, Riptide played through to the finals of the Coastal Cup competition, losing a close game to Delta Coastal Selects.

On July 3-7, Riptide returned to competitive soccer action, travelling to Burnaby for the Provincial A Cup Championships with the goal of bringing home the gold to the Upper Island – and they did!

In their opening game, Riptide struggled to find their rhythm after a long day’s travel, working hard to hold off a strong Kamloops Blaze team, with the teams settling for a 0-0 draw at the end of 70 minutes.

Day two’s game saw Riptide in a re-match of this spring’s Coastal Cup final against the best Lower Mainland team, the Delta Coastal Selects. The team were determined to show they had learned from that earlier match and reverse the outcome.

The teams lined up for the opening whistle at 9 a.m. Riptide’s Eugene Park streaked deep into the right corner, beating the DCS defender to cross the ball to John Samuels, who one-touched it past the startled DCS keeper – seven seconds into the game.

DCS gradually regrouped and scored an equalizer, but had no answer when Charlie Purcell knocked in a second Riptide goal, ending the game 2-1 for Riptide and tying them for second in the tournament.

The final round-robin game was against Richmond United, a team Riptide respected from an earlier meeting on the way to the Coastal Cup final.

This time, it was Tanner Kempe scoring for Riptide early in the first half, and the entire team holding a low pressure

THE RIPTIDE U14 boys won the Provincial A Cup championship and earned th BC Soccer Fair Play award. game strategy to keep Richmond off the scoreboard despite intense pressure in the later stages of the game.

The win put Riptide top of the standings in the round robin, through to the gold medal game.

Sunday afternoon saw warm and humid conditions as Riptide prepared to play Kamloops Blaze, who’d suffered from injuries over the tournament, while the Riptide’s larger bench allowed their sick or injured players

to rest and recover over the weekend.

Game strategy remained high intensity/low pressure to tire out the opposition.

Another quick start was requested, and Eugene Park delivered, with a strong solo effort from the right winger netting the first goal after one minute.

Blaze pressure, added to the heat and humidity, caused difficulties and Riptide were happy to lead 1-0 at half-time break.

The game resumed

with cloud cover providing more favourable conditions for the Island boys, but it was Eugene Park’s second quick goal, 45 seconds into the half, that really provided relief.

The game wore on, Riptide executing their game plan well, while the Blaze became disorganized and fell to injuries.

Nicholas Mitchell provided the final Riptide goal, after testing the Blaze defence most of the game.

Riptide control

through the midfield, plus an indomitable defence anchored by Zeb Savioe-Velos and Shohei Iwamoto, provided a solid wall for goalkeepers Gary Thiara and Jared Perras, who shared three clean sheets between them.

Overall, the team allowed just a single goal the entire tourna-

ment, while the attacking side had success scoring six goals from five players.

Coach Bruce Mitchell summed up, “While winning the Cup and seeing the joy on the faces of the boys was a delight, maybe more significant to me was the fact that the team was also awarded the

BC Soccer Fair Play award.

“This award is for teams, coaches and parents that behave with respect towards the opposition and referees, who play fairly, and who are gracious in both victory and defeat. It speaks to the character of the team and the program we are trying to build, which in the long run is more important than anything else.”

Mitchell added that to get a sense of the challenge facing Island-based teams to look at the final tournament results - every other division was dominated by Lower Mainland-based teams. Other than the UVI Storm (Nanaimo) U18 girls, who won their gold medal game in penalty kicks, none of the other five Island teams won their final games. “To win gold is an accomplishment our boys should be proud of! To win in such a dominating way is an incredible feat. We have set the bar very high for next year.”

– UVI Riptide U14 boys

William “Bill� Lister Finlayson

Robert ‘Bob’ English

October 20, 1917 – July 2, 2014

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father and friend. Robert ‘Bob’ English died on July 5th in Comox, BC at the age of 82. He is survived by Susan, his wife of 45 years, his children Jason (Yvonne) and Tara, and his grandchildren Dylan and Addyson.

Born and raised in Melbourne AU, he travelled extensively before arriving in Toronto. There his career in business credit began with General Motors, continued with Allis Chalmers in Calgary AB & Dallas TX, then JI Case International in Regina SK until his retirement. Since then, he enjoyed pursuing volunteer opportunities, playing duplicate bridge and continued to convene the Liver Lovers’ functions. In 2007, they moved to Comox BC on Vancouver Island where he could look out at the ocean and ‘his’ mountains each morning.

He was a proud “naturalized� Canadian! His life ended through complications from congestive heart failure after he observed his last July 1st. The family is grateful to our friends for their support to us, and to his medical team for his continual care.

There will be a Celebration of Life at 2 pm on Tuesday, July 29th at Comox United Church, 250 Beach Drive. Friends so wishing may make donations to Comox Valley Youth Music Centre, 204, 580 Duncan Ave. Courtenay, BC V9N 2M7.

Bill passed away peacefully early in the morning on July 2nd after being comforted by his family throughout the day on July 1st. His legacy of a “caring, loving family� speaks for itself as many of us were able to be with him on his last day.

Bill is predeceased by his wife Harriet, his three brothers Deane, Jock, and Archie, and his parents Archibald and Elizabeth Finlayson.

He leaves behind his eldest son Deane & wife Kelly and youngest son Peter & wife Susan and their families. Bill was proud of his 6 treasured grandchildren and his 9 great-grandchildren; Brooke Finlayson and Dave Thornber with Avery, Adrien, and Austin; Brigh and Todd Ballard with Samantha; Joel and Murry Finlayson (and Murry’s mom Emily Fair), Matthew and Hye-jin Finlayson, Brett and Al Gregory with Jack and Ella, and Holly & Rich Forster with Owen & Tessa. Bill also leaves behind his sister-in-laws Neita, Joan, Maddi, and many nieces and nephews and their families, who faithfully visited him whenever they came to the Comox Valley.

We loved to hear stories of Bill’s life from his early childhood days in Nanaimo and Vancouver, his World War II adventures of flying tail gunner in a Hudson Bomber, and his short venture into logging on Vancouver Island.

One of his war adventures led him to marrying his wife of 63 years, Harriet Jorgensen! While on leave in Toronto, Bill and his friend went on a double date with Harriet and her cousin Helga, Bill was paired with Helga, but kept his “sights� on Harriet instead. His good “sights� eventually landed him his wife and then a job as a rifle instructor in the RCAF at Pat Bay in Victoria.

While growing up on Stewart Ave. in Nanaimo, one block from the beach, Bill and his brothers spent many hours swimming across the harbour over to Newcastle Island. He was such an accomplished swimmer that he ended up on the RCAF polo team; and was promoted to a swimming instructor in the Caribbean, teaching the boys from the prairies how to swim & survive getting out of the water, while under attack.

After the war, Bill and Harriet settled into married life, started their family and then moved to the Comox Valley in 1944. They were eligible under the Veterans Land Act to buy land and jointly purchased 60 acres in Dove Creek with Stan & Dora Rowe.

Harriet’s farming background stead them well as she & Dora sustained the farm with a 500 chicken & egg business, while Bill and Stan experimented with growing tulips, hay & potatoes!

The farming escapade ended in 1953 when Bill was approached to open the Shell gas station at the bottom of Mission Hill. He immersed himself in this for the next few years, then sold real estate briefly, before settling into a 22 year career of selling furniture and appliances with his youngest brother Archie at Finlayson Furniture store. Concurrently in 1957 he and Harriet opened the very successful Finlayson Stationary & Hobby Shop.

In addition to working hard, Bill gave back to the community. He was active in the Chamber of Commerce, sat on the Board of Revision Assessment Authority, sat on the Glacier View Lodge Society Board of Directors, ran for public office and volunteered tirelessly during provincial and federal elections. Bill loved golfing and was instrumental in the building of the back 9 holes at Sunnydale golf course. His hard work and dedication was rewarded with a life-time membership at Sunnydale.

We all loved and respected Grampa Bill, and are proud that he influenced and mentored so many people over his 96 years.

He loved his country and community and believed we should all “make our own contributions to society, our employers, and own successes - one of more give than take�.

The family wish to acknowledge all the staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital, especially The Views, who helped look after Bill for the last 1.5 years of his life, Dr. Konway, and all the friends who visited him over the years.

Bill’s service & reception will be held at St. George’s United Church, 505 6th Street Courtenay, BC on Thursday, July 17th at 2:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers the family request any donations be made to St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation ph. 250 -890-3046, 2137 Comox Ave. Comox, BC V9M 1P2 or info@cvhospitalfoundation.com.

He is survived by two daughters, Caren (Brien) and Lynda, brother to Ollie, Gord and Rita, grandfather to Lesley, Amberjoy (David), Jody (Lucas), Rheana, Ryan and Chase, plus 6 great grandchildren, Jake, Adam, Martin, Miles, Hunter and Clark, and many nieces and nephews and other family and friends. – he will be greatly missed.

In 1954 he took over the operation of the bus depot which was located right next door. Further in 1954 he joined the Gideons and was active with them until this past year. Ken was always active in his local church and various other Christian organizations, often playing his violin. In 1965 he was contracted to operate the concession on the Powell River ferry for 9 years.

After Ken retired, he started cross country skiing and golfing until he was 92. Wanting to keep active, in 1989 he delivered newspapers for the Echo and the Record and then only the Echo until he was 93. A “Celebration of Life� will be held at the Comox Pentecostal Church, 1919 Guthrie Rd. on July 19th at 1:30pm. Reception will follow. At Ken’s request, in lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Gideons of Canada or a charity of your choice.

“where your family comes first�

Roderick James Dyck February 13, 1955 – June 28, 2014

Rod was born in Quesnel, BC on Feb 13th 1955, to Walter and Val Dyck.

Rod was blessed with a sister, Janet.

From a very early age and throughout his life Rod loved and excelled at sports, including hockey, baseball, golf and curling. He felt at home in the outdoors which led to much time spent camping, fishing, snowmobiling with family and friends.

As a young man Rod left Quesnel to play junior hockey with the Vancouver Villas. His junior career continued with the Kamloops Chiefs, Penticton Broncos, Vernon Vikings, and the Medicine Hat Tigers. He then played for the Quesnel Kangaroos until leaving for South Africa in the summer of 1976 to play hockey there. While in South Africa, Rod was recruited to Morges, Switzerland, where he played for two seasons from 1976 -1978. It was in Switzerland that Rod met Patricia who shared his life for the next few years and remained his life-long friend. Rod returned to Europe in 1979 to play with EV Ravensburg Germany, performing as a player/coach in the latter years, until he returned to Canada for good in 1984.

In 1990 Rod moved to Vancouver Island where he eventually called his beloved Bamfield home. Here he started a construction company and a building supply store. Rod was a skilled and talented carpenter, often generously sharing his wealth of knowledge. One does not have to look very far in Bamfield to see Rod’s hand.

Here Rod met his partner, Kelley Bartlett and in 1996 they welcomed their daughter Erin into their lives’. The last 20 years of Rod’s life revolved around life with Kelley and Erin in Bamfield. Here he found purpose and joy in raising his daughter, and peace and tranquility in the beauty of the ocean and the rainforest. In later years he also found serenity on the golf course.

Rod lived his life with humour, honesty and integrity. He was a practical, insightful man who was quietly effective in so many ways. He was strong and courageous, almost seeming invincible at times – a role model to all who knew him well.

Rod was predeceased by his parents Walter and Valerie Dyck and is survived by his partner Kelley, daughter Erin, sister Janet (Jules), nephews Waylon (Brooke) and Kayle as well as great nieces Jersey and Presley.

A celebration of life will be held for Rod at his residence in Coombs on July 20, 2014, at 1:30pm. Please see Rod Dyck’s Memorial facebook page for a map to the location or call (250) 937-1550 or (250) 586-4541 for directions.

A bursary has been set up in Rod’s name to go towards underprivileged youth to play hockey. Donations can be sent to Rod Dyck Memorial Hockey Bursary, 480 Pachena Rd, Bamfield,BC V0R 1B0 “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.� - Robert Frost

Local child development association celebrates 40 years Submitted

On July 12, 1974 a new nonprofit organization was founded in the Comox Valley. The Comox Valley Child Development Centre, later changed to Child Development Association, opened its doors in downtown Cumberland.

Initially services were focused on preschool-aged children with developmental delays and disabilities. Services, like early intervention therapies and preschool, were offered mainly within the centre. Over the years the agency and the services provided have grown and changed to respond to the needs of the children and families who access them. The Cumberland site was closed and

the association opened a community-based office with the capacity to offer inclusive services in the location (home, park, or therapy room) that worked best for the child and family. As well, the agency expanded to serve schoolaged children and youth and now offers two programs for young adults.

Now at its present site at Third Street and Cliffe Avenue, the early intervention therapies and Infant Development program, two of the original 1974 services, are still there. There is still a preschool program, Project Jumpstart, offered for all children in partnership with School District #71 at Courtenay Elementary.

Other programs include: Support-

ed Child Development; Autism Program; Behaviour Consultant; Community Integration and the Youth Project.

Much is planned for the 40th birthday over the next year. Watch for the CVCDA at local events and parades. Look for information on a special fundraiser to be hosted by the Royston-Cumberland Lions on Sept. 20 and of course join us for our annual Telethon Nov. 2.

It’s estimated that in the 40 years of services, upwards of 25,000 families have come through the doors. The agency would love to hear your story.

Drop it off at 237 Third Street The Comox Valley Child Development Association let everyone or email it to Joanne Schroeder at the Canada Day Parade know that there was more than one joanne@cvcda.ca. birthday in July.

Cyclists,motorists must co-exist

S

hare the road. Those words are not just for the drivers of cars and trucks anymore.

They also apply to the hundreds of cyclists in Courtenay and the Comox Valley.

As physical fitness awareness improves, more and more bicyclists are taking to the streets.

It has become old hat for drivers and cyclists to mingle on the morning commute or out on a Sunday drive. Commonplace is such interaction but like any old habits, it pays to remind yourself of the rules of the road as they apply to both drivers and riders.

Cyclists expect cars and trucks to be predictable — staying in their respective lanes, signalling for turns and stops and checking first before changing lanes. Being predictable makes for a safer experience when sharing the road.

Bikes are safer when they stick to trails — but that isn’t always possible, and narrow roads can make for uncomfortably close encounters.

If drivers are doing what they’re expected to do, trouble can be avoided.

Drivers, too, expect cyclists to be just as predictable. There are signals – for turning and stopping – they have come to look for, as well as the expectation that cyclists follow the same rules they do.

A bike rider’s greater maneuverability allows for quicker turns and the ability to fit into places where a car cannot go – but that does not mean a cyclist should do so. The consequences for a sudden, unexpected change for a bike rider are more severe than for the driver of a vehicle weighing tonnes.

It bears repeating: cyclists need to be just as responsible – and even more so – as drivers of motorized vehicles. A wrong move could spell disaster for a cyclist, protected not by steel, but by a simple helmet.

Police will be watching for cyclists following the rules of the road and stopping those who are not.

Get back into the habits we were taught as young riders. Avoid the tickets and fines. Avoid disastrous interactions with vehicles.

–Black Press

Record Question of the Week This week: Does the Comox Valley need a new fire training centre? So far, a whopping 79.2 per cent say NO! visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll.

Mother Nature blessed the Vancouver Island MusicFest with incredible weather for the three-day event.

Courtenay’s largest clock - the one on the wall of Glacier View Plaza - is three-and-a-half hours late. Island time, indeed.

B.C. letting drivers set the speed limits “F

ast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province.

POLITICS The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justiOM fication for raising limits on 35 stretches LETCHER of rural B.C. highway.

Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds.

Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.”

For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island.

Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit.

In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the

F

T

long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist.

My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest roadbuilding conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliffhanging, rock-andtunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h.

There are two common assumptions about this move.

One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents.

The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation.

Police agencies don’t like it.

ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up.

Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly 5 per cent on basic insurance last fall.

One reason why claims for

bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers.

Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas.

Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are.

In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style.

But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road.

“The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix.

“Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.”

If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic.

Seemingly endless stream of garbage floating in the estuary Dear editor, Recently, I went kayaking in the estuary near the Courtenay Marina, a favourite summer activity. In the space of an average living room, I picked up three discarded cans, one water bottle, five plastic bottle tops, including one that had a ringed attachment, several chocolate

bar wrappers, some small pieces of Styrofoam. I didn’t pick up seven cigarette butts. I wish I were fluent in the languages of fish, ducks, shorebirds and song birds so that I could warn the parents that their young babies might die from eating some of these dangerous items.

When will my species quit

treating waterways as garbage dumps?

I suppose I shouldn’t complain because probably I will make 20 cents when I recycle the cans and bottle. Perhaps I covered the bottom line but I don’t think it is sustainable economics.

Letter writer misses point on relocated houses Dear editor, In response to Mr. Morrison’s comments in the Comox Valley Record of late, that relocated buildings should be out of sight and mind (June 19 letter to the editor, Derelict houses a sore sight for eyes); I respectfully submit that he is entirely missing the point.

Re-purposed or reused buildings provide the public with the opportunity to enter the housing market in an affordable and relatively quick way. I would also point out that most of these re-consumed structures are far preferable to the buildings being

created today; quality of materials alone will define this. From the point of view of the perfect business model, we should all move willingly into maximum mortgage, gated Mc-subdivisions, and keep the undesirable and unpainted out. In doing so, we deny some people the basic right

to house themselves.

Let us not forget that the goal in many cases is to allow people to provide basic shelter for themselves and their families and to have some control over this process. It is an effort as old as dirt. It also needs to be said, that buildings seen on the roadside

provide an incredible impetus to the mission of house relocations and helps keep this alternative in the forefront. Let the public decide how they choose to shelter themselves and allow them a market choice.

Derelict refers to something in very poor condition as a result of disuse, or alternatively, a person without a home, job or property.

I am aware that some relocated homes involve fixing and cosmetic reconditioning, but I would argue, after 30 years in the industry, that people who choose to move buildings are up for the task. Furthermore, every decent

Sign the petition for governance review Dear editor, Voters in the Comox Valley Regional District have a variety of opinions about our local governance structure.

Some contend the structure is outdated and could be improved. But many of the various opinions held probably are just opinions. Generally, they are not based on facts and analyses.

Hence, the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce has undertaken a project that, if successful, will lead to an independent study to get the facts about how our current local governments provide the services for which they are responsible to our citizens.

The provincial government would consider commissioning a study if it can be shown that there is broad community support for one.

WE’VE BEEN EVERYWHERE! *** Take us along on your next vacation.... and send your vacation photos to

sports@

comoxvalleyrecord.com *subject line Take Us Along

Evidence of that community support will be provided by the petition being circulated by the Chamber’s Governance Review Task Force. The petition provides voters with an opportunity to participate in a process leading to discovering the most appropriate local governance structure for the Comox Valley in the 21st century.

The study would have no preconceived alternative structures – it would simply seek the facts on which to base its conclusions and recommendations.

Two letters in the Record of July 8 relating to the subject of governance review illustrate in different ways the need for such a review.

Warren McDonald advocates a need for Comox Valley local governments to speak with one voice, an issue that a study

COMOX VALLEY LIONS CLUB THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORT OUR...

could address, and presumably he would be interested in providing input about that need to a study committee.

In another letter Don Davis suggests that electors should vote on having a different government structure without knowing the facts about how our present governments operate, and about what greater efficiency and effectiveness could be achieved.

In any decision-making situation it is essential to first have the facts before careful consideration can be given to making changes that in our case would affect all of the Valley’s communities.

The support of voters in the Comox Valley for a study is most important so that all concerns can be addressed.

Should enough of us be mindful of this issue we can make a big difference to the outcome. In addition, recycled homes offer several opportunities and jobs where nothing would otherwise exist.

Silence is golden; turn down the music Dear editor, At the risk of raising the wrath of dozens, perhaps scores, of regular attendees of the concerts and festivals in Filberg Park, I must protest the volume of the music being played last Thursday, July 3.

Why in heaven’s name is it necessary to hear these groups 12 blocks away?

For the past 3 ½ hours and counting, on this warm summer evening, I have closed my patio door, but it has only slightly lessened the impact.

The drummer’s rim shots sound as if they are being performed right outside

my door.

Throughout the summer, we are “entertained” by these performances, inconvenienced by the pervasive noise for hours at a time. I know, I know, a lot of people thoroughly enjoy these bands, and I am not opposed to public performances, only to the extreme and unnecessary volume to which they are amplified. I have attended the Filberg Festival, and come home with a headache because the volume of the band overpowered everything else happening in the park. Why must everything be so loud for folks to enjoy listening to

Crimestoppers will pay cash rewards for information leading to the arrest of persons involved in criminal activities in the Comox Valley.

Dear editor, We are very grateful that the Confederation of University Women – Comox Valley, chose our daughter Charlotte as a recipient of one of two annual bursaries this year.

Born in Comox, Charlotte received an excellent education here in the Comox Valley at Brooklyn Elementary, Cape Lazo Middle, and Highland Secondary schools, and at North Island College.

Charlotte completed her second year of studies in Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of British Columbia in April, and maintains two jobs in Vancouver to enable her to continue pursuing her degree.

As the fourth of five children, Charlotte has always worked hard, beginning nannying at the age of 12 for a family of three children; working hard at her studies; enjoying community life including soccer, dance at Pantuso Dance, and a myriad of events; and contributing at school and in the community in a variety of volunteer capacities.

As such, it is of great comfort to her, beyond the financial reward of this bursary, to know that a group of accomplished, hard-working, and caring women such as yourselves is thinking of her and supporting her.

Thank you to each and every one of you.

music? This is, after all, a residential area with many homes and suites within range of hearing.

I love living in Comox and I love my home. I know these concerts are well received but it is frustrating that my right to the quiet enjoyment of my home is continually eroded each summer.

I believe the groups playing in the park could and should be monitored carefully and not allowed to amplify their performances above a suitable level.
