IN BRIEF

NEWS

Airpark walkway temporary closure

Construction work at the Courtenay Riverway Airpark Walkway will result in a closure from June 15 – 30 of the walkway from the cafe area to the outlet of the lagoon just before the Rotary Sky Park.

This closure will only affect the water side portion of the airpark walkway loop. The walkway running behind the hangars on the west side of the Airpark will remain open.

Other parts of the walkway that will remain open are the Sky Park playground and portions of the walkway from Sixth Street to lower Mansfield Drive to 30th Street. However, drivers and pedestrians should be aware that large trucks will be using Mansfield to haul materials to the work site, and to pay attention to the flagger on site.

The construction, co-ordinated by Project Watershed, is to establish a culvert and salt marsh benches which will significantly improve fish habitat and deal with factors limiting productivity. The culvert will connect the Courtenay River to the top of the lagoon, re-establishing river flow through the lagoon area.

Leave keys at home on Car Free Sunday ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

A place to socialize with community members, to get fresh air or take a bike ride with family and friends - that’s what organizers of this year’s Car Free Sunday hope the people will do for a few hours later this month.

Pieter Vorster, organizer of the event and member of Imagine Comox Valley, said the event is in solidarity with similar events in Victoria and Vancouver, and hopes to nurture a car-free space and to educate the public about sharing the road.

“They’re not only for motor vehicles, but for cyclists and pedestrians,” he noted.

“There’s places where traffic is

slowed down around school areas, and the priority is safety and the ability to walk on the roads without being worried of being hit by a truck going 90 km/h.”

While Vorster noted roads were originally made for cars, the infrastructure has changed over the years and now they are becoming more open to different forms of transportation and people.

He said while traffic in the Comox Valley is not similar to Vancouver traffic or other large cities, it’s important to recognize an increase in bike ridership and that roads should be shared.

“The attitude that roads are exclusively for cars has passed its prime, and we need to adopt more modern perspectives.”

Confined to a small road closure on Fifth Street June 21, Vorster explained the event is aimed to show-

case the wide range of ways people can get around in transportation other than by fuel-driven cars and to challenge people to consider leaving the car at home. The event, he added, is not anti-car, rather, it’s an opportunity to allow people to think about alternative forms of transportation.

“It’s very family-friendly, and will feature live music, bike decorating, vendors and a temporary skatepark.”

He added the absence of traffic can make the streets a pleasant place to congregate, socialize and connect with fellow community members.

The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a small closure of Fifth Street, and partial closure of the side streets of Duncan and England avenues.

The event is being organized by Imagine Comox Valley. For more T:8.5" information visit bit.ly/1GbPPxc or visit them on Facebook.

Highway 19 connector plans announced As part of B.C. on the Move, the Province’s new 10-year transportation plan, work has begun to improve the connection between Highway 19 and north Courtenay, providing better access to key destinations in the region, announced Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Todd Stone.

Once completed, the new road will better connect Highway 19 with important services in the Comox Valley such as the new Comox Valley hospital, the Little River ferry terminal and the Comox airport.

“Back in 2013 I made this project a priority for the province and the region and we made a commitment to improve access in the Comox Valley,” said Stone.

“The connector will provide a more efficient route for residents, tourists and commercial drivers heading to and from the ferry and airport and will be completed in time for the opening of the new hospital which is under construction.”

“I have long been an advocate for this project, so I’m

very excited to see it move another step closer to our goal of having an improved connection in place by the time the new hospital opens in 2017,” said Comox Valley MLA Don McRae. Improvements will include approximately 700 metres of new two-lane road running west from the intersection of Headquarters Road and Dove Creek Road to the intersection of Piercy Road and Dove Creek Road, where Piercy Road continues on to Highway 19. The project will also include a new, two-lane bridge across the Tsolum River.

Engineering work has begun and includes survey work, geotechnical testing and detailed design, and this work is expected to be completed over the next year.

This project builds on a key component in B.C. on the Move to work with communities to improve access to and from provincial highways.

“Proper development of the Comox Valley’s northern connector is a win for all

jurisdictions in the CVRD,” said Comox Valley Regional District chair Bruce Jolliffe.

“In addition to providing a more direct route from the inland highway to the new hospital, airport and ferries, having a ‘back door’ to east Courtenay and Comox business and services will take pressure off the busy

southern route as well as divert traffic away from the Dyke Road and the sensitive Comox estuary.

“And, having a full size bridge again will be a benefit for farmers in the area who currently have challenges moving their bigger pieces of equipment across the Tsolum River.”

Huband Changemakers offer some water conservation suggestions Ewan Jones and Zoltan Horvath Special to The Record

We are students at Huband Park Elementary School in Courtenay and we are doing a Changemakers project that will help raise awareness about water conservation in the Comox Valley.

As you know, it did not snow on our local mountains this past winter so that means there will be no snow to melt during the summer and flow into our rivers and lakes. There has also been very little rain and it has been predicted to be a hot and dry summer. Because of these events our water reservoir is predicted to be the lowest it has been in over 50 years. Therefore, we desperately need to conserve water in every way we can.

We have a few tips about water use in the home that we would like share with

everyone that could help the Comox Valley conserve water.

In the kitchen

The first thing to do is not let your kitchen faucet run endlessly. You can wash your vegetables and your fruits in a bowl instead of using the faucet. Also you could use your left over boiling water or use your old coffee or use any water in your house that you would not drink to feed your flowers and other plants.

Another way to save water is use your dishwasher to wash dishes instead of in the sink.

A dishwasher uses less water than washing dishes by hand.

In the bathroom

You can save water by checking if your faucets are dripping, if they are get them fixed. Don’t let your faucet run while you brush your teeth or while shaving. If you take shorter showers than

normal, each month that would save hundreds or thousands of litres of water. What some people do is take “Sailor Showers” where you turn the water on to get wet, turn it off to lather up, then turn it back on to rinse.

In the yard/garden

You should make sure that your sprinkler gets only on your lawn and not on your road or driveway. You could replace your lawn with drought tolerant plants and different landscaping that does not require grass. If you need to clean your car you should not let the hose run while not in use, or just not clean your car (unless it is a Ferrari). Also you can think ahead and get a rain barrel and fill it up in the fall or winter, and use that to water your garden. For your trees you could cover them up with a thick layer of bark mulch to

Cyclists converge in Comox Valley for Hub and Spoke Record staff

There will be an influx of cyclists in the Comox Valley next week, as the local chapter of the Cross-Canada Cycle Tour Society hosts the seventh annual Hub and Spoke cycle rally.

The Hub and Spoke is a gathering CCCTS members.

“The CCCTS is a non-profit organization made up of active adults - mainly retired people who enjoy recreational biking,” said Hub and Spoke co-ordinator Gladys Schmidt.

The Hub and Spoke is expected to draw upwards of 100 cyclists from B.C., Alberta and Washington.

The event begins Monday and wraps up Friday, July 19.

Planned rides include day trips to Denman and Hornby islands, Cumberland and Comox Lakes, Salmon Point and Deep Bay. “We wanted to make sure that the community is aware when they start seeing 100 cyclists on the road, of the event going on,” said Comox Valley chapter spokesperson Sheila Ord. The CCCTS Comox Valley chapter meets at the Filberg Centre on Friday mornings for 50-60 kilometre rides throughout the Comox Valley.

Multicultural Festival set for Simms Park ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

A fun way to celebrate and a great way to party is how Jin Lin describes this year’s Comox Valley Multicultural Festival.

“The concept is fun, and it’s a way to celebrate national Multicultural Day and a warm up to July 1st,” added Lin who, along with a small group of board members from the Comox Valley Multicultural Society, is organizing a musical celebration at Simms Millennium Park June 27.

The highlight of the festival is Cuban band Brisas del Palmar, who will perform two 45-minute sets; Azucena Flamenco will also entertain.

Lin said she hopes the performance, which is by donation, will allow people of the Valley to come together to have fun and celebrate the diversity of culture in the area.

“In the Comox Valley, the immigrant population is small – maybe only 10 per cent. We want to find a way to connect people and promote other cultures.”

She explained the role of the festival, along with the multicultural society, is to connect people with their culture and others in the community.

Lin recalls her arrival to the Comox Valley from Taiwan in 1993. She didn’t speak English very well and didn’t know anything about the area.

In order to learn the language, she walked up and down Fifth Street in

Courtenay with a dictionary, walking into stores and asking questions to understand where she could purchase basic household staples. Now, Lin said, the Multicultural Society hopes to provide a role to help those who have recently immigrated to the area and act as a resource for not only basic services, but a social outlet to connect other new residents.

It’s easy with a language barrier to choose to stay at home, she added.

“Come out, introduce yourself to others, and get involved,” she noted.

“Every culture is unique, and whatever your background is, let’s do things together. Immigrants have questions, they don’t know where to go, and we’re like (filling) a gap; we help like

We Deliver to Your Yard By the Yard!

a friend. I’ve been through that and I know the system.”

The festival celebration later this month is a chance to show respect and share culture, added Lin. The non-profit organization holds events for anyone nearly monthly, but this is a highlight event, she added.

The society is working in conjunction with the Comox Valley July 1st Committee as a lead-up to Canada Day festivities in the area.

Admission is by donation, and she said all funds raised by the community are given back to the community through outreach and programming.

For more info on the event, call 250338-9386 or visit the Comox Valley Multicultural Society’s Facebook page.

RCMP REPORT On June 5 police responded to a report of a break, enter and theft at a residence on the 1900 block of Stewart Avenue in Courtenay.

The homeowner returned from work to find an window open and an outside door unlocked. A large amount of Canadian coins were stolen from the residence.

Residential B&E

On June 6 police received a report of a break, enter and theft from an unlocked residence on the 3600 block of Lake Trail Road in Courtenay.

The owner went camping for the night. Upon returning, he found that someone had entered his residence and stolen a TV and an X-Box system.

Generator theft

Police received a report of a stolen generator on June 7 from a campsite at 1812 Miracle Beach Dr. in Black Creek. The owner said that sometime over the night someone unplugged

and stole their Honda 2000I generator. The generator was being used to assist the complainant’s son who has a serious medical condition.

Block Watch meeting

The Comox Valley Block Watch holds its semi-annual meeting June 23 from 5-6:30 p.m. at Courtenay Quality Foods in the upstairs meeting room. Interested parties are invited to attend and learn more about the program, or get signed up to start their own block watch group.

It’s not the CRA

Police wish to warn the public of a scam that is sweeping the Comox Valley. Multiple calls have been received by police that have people worried about being arrested. They say they have received a call from someone purporting to be from the Canada Revenue Agency wanting money or a warrant would be issued for their arrest.

This is not the way that the CRA would conduct business so we are urging everyone to be aware of possible scams such as this to protect yourselves and your finances.

Bob Castle ■ Terry Farrell terry.farrell @comoxvalleyrecord.com

This year marks Under the Glacier’s 20th anniversary with the Comox Valley Record.

We’re lucky Disney gave Bob Castle an offer he could refuse.

“I was approached by Disney but I never took the gig with them because in between pictures, you had to go work in the theme park.

As much as I love Walt Disney and I can draw Mickey Mouse like that,” he said, snapping his fingers, “the thought of walking around a theme park in a Goofy costume, or Winnie the Pooh, or something, wasn’t very appealing.”

Born and raised in Courtenay, Castle says he has been drawing for as long as he can remember.

“It’s all I ever wanted to do, was be an artist. But artists starve, so I had to seek employment in other places and do this on the side.”

He earned his degree in graphic design in the mid-80s, while working at the mill in Campbell River, where he stayed for 31 years, dabbling in art as a side gig.

“The Record was the first one to publish me,” he said. “In 1994 they started printing the odd cartoon and then in 1995 I went into the office and said ‘look, I can just pop these out as much as you want.’

So they gave me once a week then moved me to twice a week. It was

Open Monday to Thursday 9am-4pm • Friday 9am-2pm

1995 when they said ‘we need a name for the cartoon’, so Under the Glacier was born.”

Castle is a self-professed news junkie, which is somewhat of a requirement for an editorial cartoonist.

He’s not afraid to tap into any political topic, but likes the grassroots politics the best.

“One of the things that makes this area so good is that people are so passionate about it. People are very aware of their surroundings, whether it’s coal mining, or the Lorne Hotel, or what have you.”

He said that although the mayors of the Comox Valley take their share of ribbing, he knows that at the municipal level politicians are in it for the love of their community, and it shows.

His favourite target? The Comox Valley Regional District.

“They just make it so easy sometimes,” he said, laughing. “They are just handing this stuff to me on a silver platter. It’s easy being a political cartoonist when you got those guys in your area.”

When asked if there was one cartoon in the past 20 years that stood out as the most controversial, Castle did not hesitate.

“Years ago the SPCA announced they were going to stop euthanizing cats so I did a cartoon that involved a guy with a pitbull at the SPCA, wanting to help with the cat control policy, and this landslide of letters came in. I never knew there were so many cat lovers in the Valley. I touched more of a button with that one than any other.”

MacKay’s departure shows sorry state of Canadian politics

L

ast week, federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay announced his intended departure from politics with Prime Minister Stephen Harper at his side.

MacKay becomes the latest on a worrying list of Conservative cabinet ministers to head to potentially greener pastures in recent months. Since his retirement in February, John Baird, the former foreign affairs minister, is sitting pretty on Barrick Gold Corp.’s international advisory board, as a director with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and as an investment adviser to a Chinese billionaire.

MacKay, rather than hint at lucrative opportunities in the private sector, instead focused on his family as the reason for departure.

A cynic might argue that the 49-year-old was partly motivated by about $1.3 million in pension benefits that he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to claim under new MP retirement rules passed in 2013. Those rules will mean all politicians elected after the next election must wait until age 65, up from age 55, before they can draw a pension.

But no one can argue the broken state of Canadian politics. The outcome of the Alberta election, if it foreshadows anything about the public’s mood towards the relentless Harper-Mulcair-Trudeau battle, reveals a country that perhaps has finally seen through the Conservative’s false claim that Canada will economically crumble if another party gains power.

Perhaps MacKay is disillusioned, as many Canadians are, by Harper’s relentless agenda.

Perhaps the minister senses that change is in the wind, a view held by many political strategists who understand that the Canadian public likely can’t stomach the rapid deviations on environmental and social policies whipped through Parliament under the guise of safety and economic viability.

The public’s mood will remain cynical until the October election, and Harper cabinet dropouts like MacKay are simply adding fuel to that fire.

Schools gone, but racism still exists ■ Paul J. Henderson GUEST COLUMN

“Oh no, here we go,” mutters the person blind to the colonial history of Canada now that, after six years, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has issued its report on the dark past of residential schools in Canada.

“Why won’t those Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start contributing to society?”

That is what “he” said to me.

There are certain subjects usually left alone by those who should know better. Topics where we don’t really hear what some people think. Most people keep their ignorance to themselves.

“That was the past, get over it.”

I hate to point it out but these are not the opinions of some bygone era.

These are attitudes held by some people, most who won’t admit it, in the here and now. Present and but a scratch below a thin layer of political correctness that covers our daily discourse.

“Why won’t those Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start contributing to society?”

I write it again, because it struck me as amazing. This is what was said to me by someone I chatted with a few weeks ago who, frankly, should know better. An educated, employed, successful member of B.C. society.

He used the term “Indians,” even.

Lots of people do. No, he wasn’t talking about people from India. I asked. But the fellow I was talking to prefers “Indian” over “native” or “aboriginal.”

And don’t even start him on the political manipulation behind the term “First Nations.”

“Don’t talk about Indians to this guy,” he joked as others joined us in the public setting where our conversation took place. Laughs.

“You know where India is, right?” I asked the fellow.

No comment.

“OK, you know the ‘Indians’ in this country have endured an attempted cultural genocide, right?” I pushed.

Get over it, was the response. Start paying some taxes.

I almost hate to write these words because they are true. Many locals are likely grappling with Justice Murray Sinclair’s report, its 94 recommendations, something that invariably will dig up the terrible wounds of what was endured at residential schools by parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.

The ignorance and hatred that led to a cultural genocide, a government-church led systematic “killing the Indian in the child” is done. It’s gone from our churches. It’s gone from our cultural institutions. It’s gone from our government.

But the sentiment does remain, if below the surface, that aboriginals should just snub out the last remnants of that language, drop the cultural practices, forget the drumming

and the hunting and the fishing and the rest of it, and just be more like us.

Why can’t you be more like “us”?

There is, among us mostly white settlers, a belligerent sense of entitlement, but even more so a disregard for any expression of culture from those who were here before us.

“Political correctness” is a false label for what is simply correctness.

The guy I was talking to says the term First Nations is politically correct “crap” and he refuses to use it. Fine, but it also just happens to be correct. These “nations” of people were here “first.”

Now that the TRC report is out, it’s really time to get our collective white heads out of our asses, acknowledge the horrible truth that some of our ancestors took part in or at least acquiesced to, and reconcile.

This doesn’t mean saying “we are sorry you are upset” one more time.

This means starting a process whereby individuals like the one I quoted above are forced to learn some history. Learn how children were stolen from their parents as government policy.

This is big stuff, and it’s been buried for too long. What we should not do is let the ignorance of the “be more like us” sentiment carry on.

Those today who are blind to history and what went on with the Indian School Act need to open their eyes.

Paul J. Henderson is a reporter at the Chilliwack Times, a Black Press publication.

CVRD responds to letter defending Zuks

Dear editor, Mr. Ernst Vegt’s letter to the editor in the June 4 edition of your paper (Zuks treated unfairly by the Comox Valley Regional District) missed some factual elements of the issue.

The Zuks’ property is on an area known as the Willmar Bluffs, a steep sloped sandy bluff known as a “feeder bluff”. This bluff actually erodes naturally all the time and is, in fact, the feeder source that led to the creation of the Goose Spit. Homeowners regularly try to protect their property against the natural forces of nature, and the development permitting process is the tool used by local governments to ensure that the development plans reflect good science and assessment. In this case, the Zuks skipped that step, and in the interests of protecting all of the natural forces along Willmar Bluff, as well as other property rights, the Comox Valley Regional District was forced to act.

Relay for Life experience is worth relaying

Dear editor, My husband and I went to the Relay for Life in Courtenay. Four

years ago he was diagnosed with bone cancer. Twenty-three years ago I had colon cancer. My husband is on chemo and will be for the rest of his life. This is no cure for bone cancer – not yet. I was on chemo for over a year. My husband had a stem cell transplant and it was more than two years before the bone cancer returned.

I had three major surgeries to remove tumors and to clear my intestines when adhesions set in. But after five years I celebrated being cancer free.

All these thoughts rushed through my memory at the Relay for Life. I was struggling as my husband and I began the first lap of the Relay, known as the Survivor’s Lap. Tears flooded my cheeks as I recalled the stench of chemo, the vomit, the muscle weakness, the dependence on others, the insipid taste of the medications, the loss of eyebrows and eyelashes and the bald head, the fatigue, the relentless churning in my stomach, the nerve pain…

These images were interrupted by the sound of applause! As my husband and I continued to walk, I noticed these people cheering us on.

They lined the interior of the track.

As we passed they yelled and smiled and clapped and shouted words of triumph!

They were cheering for us! They were encouraging the survivors.

My left hand held my husband’s and my right hand clasped a friend’s.

I raised their arms with mine. I raised them to the sky. We are survivors. We are winning!

Comox Valley the ‘black hole’ of Vancouver Island

Dear editor, On the evening of Sunday, May 31, we had the good fortune to have a representative of Audley Travel of Great Britain spend the evening with us. Sam was on a 40-day familiarization tour of the west coast of Canada, including Alaska and the Yukon. This company has 360 travel agents located in Europe and the United States.

He came to Willow Guest House B&B at our request.

In his travels, Sam had spent time on the Sunshine Coast, Tofino, Campbell River and the more remote areas on the north island and outer islands.

He had travelled through the Comox Valley but had not stayed here. When asked why, Sam told us that the Comox Valley is the “black hole” on Vancouver Island in terms of tourism.

After touring Sam about the area for only two hours he was impressed with the possibilities as a tourism destination, referring to the Comox Valley as potentially the new Tofino.

Tourism is a multi-million or perhaps billion-dollar industry and after Sam left I was left with questions. Why are we a “black hole” in tourism? Is tourism not being promoted in our area? Who is responsible for tourism to this area? What action plans to promote this industry are in place here? How can the tourism industry help shape a sustainable and environmental future for all to enjoy here in the Comox Valley?

Street soccer: MPU feeding national team ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Maple Pool United is hoping to send its fourth player in as many seasons to the Homeless World Cup of Soccer — a network of international organizations that use the sport to improve the lives of homeless and marginalized people. The 13th annual tournament takes place in Amsterdam in September.

Joan Mathias represented Canada at the 2012 tournament in Mexico, Heath Young competed at the 2013 event in Poland and Christine Watson traveled to Chile for last year’s tournament. This year’s candidate is Max Porcher.

“It’s a lot of fun,” 16-year-old Max said of the smaller version of the sport.

“Soccer did start with humble origins, whether it’s Pelé playing in the slums of Brazil or Georgie Best playing in the streets of North Ireland,” Shilling said. “Bringing street soccer to the Pan Am Games is an opportunity for those with less, the marginalized, to excel at something like their predecessors did. For me, though, as an outreach worker, it is more than just going to the street soccer World Cup or the Pan Am Games. It’s a form of outreach, and it’s the most fun form of outreach. People come here, they’re relaxed, we can talk about the struggles they’re facing. Ultimately, it’s an excuse to get together, have some fun, and start to problem solve and move forward in people’s lives.”

Street Soccer Canada founder Paul Gregory credits Shilling for using a variety of sports to include people, be it surfing, skateboarding or soccer.

“He’s one of those guys who immediately understands what you’re trying to do,” Gregory said from Toronto.

An advocate for the homeless, Gregory started Street Soccer Canada by forming a team largely from Toronto for the 2004 Homeless World Cup. The organization now comprises more than 20 soccer programs in a dozen cities, including Courtenay.

“It’s benefited me personally,” he said. “We have a bunch of guys that have been touched by soccer, and now they’re peer mentors.”

He notes that some street soccer participants who have never ventured beyond the borders of their town or province have a chance to make a national team and set foot on foreign soil.

“For me that’s a big component, to open somebody’s eyes to those opportunities.”

But Gregory says the real work happens at the grassroots.

“Every champion in each city across Canada is doing amazing work. That’s the nuts and bolts work where they’re creating those communities around a sense of belonging and a sense of something bigger. That’s the amazing

Downtown Courtenay to host evening market this summer A block of downtown Courtenay is set to play host to fabulous local farmers and producers, talented artists, unique local products and – most of all – a ton of fun for one evening a month throughout the summer.

The inaugural Downtown Courtenay Evening Market takes place Thursday, June 18 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Upper Fifth Street between Fitzgerald and England Avenues will transform into an open-air market and become the place to be on the third Thursday of each summer month from June to September.

The evening market is the result of collaboration between the Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association, the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market and Elevate the Arts.

The objective is to create a new event that unites the community and celebrates the Valley’s wonderful people, produce and talent.

“We’re all extremely excited about this first-ever night market,” says Jenny

Deters, vice-president of the DCBIA. “It’s something the DCBIA has wanted to do — and has been asked about — for years, and it’s been a large undertaking.

Being able to partner up with these other successful, supportive organizations has finally allowed us to do it, and we couldn’t be happier!”

Hot on the heels of the successful Elevate the Arts event and just in advance of the ever-popular Wednesday morning Farmers’ Market and the DCBIA’s 45th annual Market Day in July, the first-ever evening market is expected to take its place as

another great addition to the already-vibrant downtown scene.

The city block will feature up to 40 booths evenly split between items that are sown and grown and those that are created and crafted.

And like any good market, there will be music.

After receiving almost 500 likes in one week on the market’s Facebook page, it’s obvious that people are excited about the venture.

Vickey Brown, executive director of the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market and co-ordinator of the evening market’s pro-

duce merchants, says response has also been swift and positive.

“It’s a nice chance for our farmers to join up with local artisans and create some good synergy,” says Brown.

“For those of us in the farming community, it’s great to have another opportunity to increase accessibility to all the wonderful food and products cultivated in this region.”

While the booths are almost all spoken for, farm and food vendors can contact Vickey Brown at info@cvfm.ca.

Interested artisan vendors are invited to apply for a space at bit.ly/1dYz67n

Think Hanky

Panky and Thongs

Are Just for the Smaller Woman? Think Again!

Some women think that the all-lace finery of our extremely popular Hanky Panky line must just be for smaller-sized women. Especially when it comes to thongs, women sometimes think that only smaller women are allowed to enjoy their sexy lines.

Well, at Secret Drawers Lingerie we’re quite happy to prove you wrong. The lines we carry are for every women; from small to the curvy, we’ve got Hanky Panky that will work for you.

First, let’s talk thongs. There is a common misconception that thongs don’t look good unless you have zero curves and zero cellulite. We’re pleased to tell you that this isn’t so. Hanky Panky thongs are designed with a real woman in mind and their carefully-crafted lines actually make you look shapelier than you might expect; and both Hanky Panky classic thongs and retro thongs are available in plus sizes so more Vashti and Nena women can enjoy these benefits.

We also carry the signature lace Hanky Panky camisoles and chemises in plus sizes, too. These pieces are also designed to suit every body type. Curvy women sometimes think there’s nothing sexy available for them, but pair a Hanky Panky cami or chemise with a thong and you’ve got an outfit that absolutely has sex appeal.

Of course, we also carry stunning bras and other accoutrement in a wide range of sizes, so come in and see what we have for you. Don’t let your smaller friends have all the fun!

Lone fawns may not be abandoned ■ Avian Rescue MARS MOMENT

One of the most endearing and enchanting of our local wildlife species has to be the deer, especially when they are fawns. The blacktailed deer are the only deer species found on Vancouver Island. This is the time of year when newborn fawns begin to appear in our neighboring areas – often very close to human habitation.

The fawns that are born in the early spring are programmed to lay curled up in the tall grass while the mother leaves to forage away from her young. This is normal. The fawn does not have a scent to attract predators. It will lie still for several hours until the mother returns to nurse the young. If it is a very safe location she may leave it in or near the same location for a few days, returning when no one is around to tend to her young. When they become strong enough to follow her, you may then see mom nearby leading the way across the roads with the babies (often twins) following behind.

Well-meaning humans often find young fawns and assume that they have been abandoned or orphaned and will pick them up.

Mother deer will call frequently trying to locate their young when time to nurse. But if you, a predator, are in the area, the mother will stay hidden and silent until you go away.

Call MARS before you interfere. Watch from a distance or return at a later time. If the fawn appears to be in immediate danger by being in the middle of the road, you can move it off to the side and a bit into the bushes.

Wear gloves if possible, although it is a myth that a mother will not return if you touch the baby. If there are dogs then get the dogs under control, put them indoors or on a leash.

Only if a dead doe is found near the fawn should you assume that it is orphaned. MARS has had several successes with returning “orphaned” fawns to their mothers – sometimes hours or even a full day later. (We do not recommend any delay). Never attempt to feed a fawn cow’s milk. The wrong formula

can quickly cause irreversible harm. They are vulnerable to digestive disorders as their complicated multi-chambered stomaches adapt to the types of foods found in the environment.

MARS has a special fawn enclosure (the Bambi Bungalow) where we can care for truly orphaned or injured fawns. Once they are weaned they are transferred to another temporary home until they are released back to the local herd. We do not rescue fawns older than about a month, as past this age deer become too stressed by captivity for any treatment.

If you hit or see a deer hit on the road in our area, when possible, try to move it well off the road and if alive but injured, report it to the RAPP line, 1-877-952-7277.

Please visit our website wingtips.org to view Facebook and YouTube videos to follow our progress and find out what special events are happening within your community. To report injured wildlife call 250-337-2021 or for emergencies 1-250-897-2257.

TRENDING DECOR IDEAS, LOCAL REAL ESTATE LISTINGS AND HOME IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS FOR YOUR HOME

Teeing off into the real estate business ■ Katie Maximick katie.maximic @comoxvalleyrecord.com

When Jason Andrew started working at Crown Isle Resort & Golf Community as the Director of Golf back in 1999, he never dreamed that 10 years later he’d be asked to take charge of the golf community’s real estate department.

“I was having lunch with the owner and he asked me what I knew about real estate,” Andrew said with a smile, “And I said, ‘Nothing!’ and he said, ‘Perfect, because we want you to take over and manage the real estate department for us.’”

It seemed like an implausible shift for the golf professional, but

Andrew grabbed the opportunity by the horns and held on.

“I knew everyone in the [Crown Isle] community and all the members, and I understood the overlaps of real estate with golf and the resort side of the business, so it was a great fit and I’ve never looked back,” he said.

“I always loved helping people with their golf, and now I love helping them find their new house or lot. For a lot of people it’s the biggest purchase they’ll ever make in their life, and I love dealing with people.”

After accepting the position of Director

Andrew said “Golf is about 2014. becoming “2015 is keeping the trend my second favourite past going. With the continued time, because fishing is commercial success on the

slowly taking over,” he said. “I think I’ve always loved fishing, but having played at a fairly high competitive level of golf and now not being able to play at that same level as I get older, it makes it tougher to play.”

“With fishing, I still enjoy it even if I don’t catch anything, and I would never consider myself a scratch fisherman,” he added, laughing.

“I’m not very good at it, so I can only get better.”

Andrew is also a dedicated family fan and loves to spend his spare time with his wife Meghan and two teenage sons, Thomas and Max. He and Meghan are active members of the community, and donate their time to various charities and fundraisers when they can, like the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation (an organization close to their hearts).

In the future, Andrew

can definitely see himself on the golf course and out on the water, but retired?

“I don’t think I’ll ever retire,” he said. “As long as I can work and feel like a great contributor, I will always work, and that’s the beauty of this business – it never ends. There will always be houses or land selling, there will always be new construction.”

“I’ll never be bored, and that’s why I love coming to work every day. I am very fortunate.”

Plenty of natural repellents as mosquito season arrives ■ Leslie Cox DUCHESS OF DIRT

Don’t know about you but we are finding quiet evenings spent outside are fraught with pesky mosquitos.

It’s our fault there are so many mosquitos because we have several rain barrels, without lids, set up around the perimeter of the house. Unfortunately, one can expect mosquitos when there is standing water; well, standing around.

West Nile virus comes to mind. But a check on the Public Health Agency of Canada’s website showed there were only 21 reported cases in all of Canada in 2014. None in B.C. There has only been one reported case of West Nile in B.C. in the last three years.

Given the drastically reduced number of cases from 428 in 2012 to only 21 in 2014, either the

Pink form of catnip infected mosquitoes are cycling or the “damage control” techniques for reducing mosquito populations in general are working.

Here arte a few suggestions how can we get rid of them so we can enjoy our evenings outside - and do it naturally.

First would be to treat the rain barrel water. However, we use this water to top up the pond, as well as to water our cedar hedge. Our goldfish gather at the waterfall for the mosquito larvae coming down the stream. Adding a skim of cooking oil to the barrels is not an option for the sake of

PHOTO BY LESLIE COX

our goldfish. Covers made out of material would be a good idea.

In the meantime, what to do now?

Applying insect repellent with DEET in the ingredient list is definitely not an option in my books.

We do have an OFF! PowerPad Mosquito Lantern. But I find the smoke that is released from the small pad noxious so do not want the thing anywhere near me, which reduces its mosquito deterrent effectiveness.

So, what are the natural alternatives?

According to an article on the Canadian Gardening website, there are

six plants that repel mosquitos: basil, catnip, citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus), lavender, lemon balm and marigolds (Tagetes spp.).

I have also heard that rosemary, lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and any of the mints repel the little vampires as well.

Editors at Mother Earth News checked into the research on natural mosquito repellents. They used two criteria: 1) repellents and techniques have to be scientifically proven, and 2) the materials need to be “Generally Recognized as Safe” After they sorted through a “ton of research”, according to the author of the article, they wound up with five top mosquito-repelling plants: two basils – holy and lime varieties, rose-scented monarda, catnip (Nepeta cataria), and thyme. (A little surprised lavender did not make their list

but then perhaps it is better used as an after-bite treatment for its antiseptic attributes.)

If you are interested in learning more about these plants

and their repelling capabilities, check out my website: duchessofdirt.ca. Watch for some info on the website about homemade mosquito traps too. Will be testing a

couple out.

MusicFest’s artistic director and executive producer, Doug Cox. “It’s more rewarding for the audience and the performer. “If people are reading the program and say, ‘I can’t get to everything I want to see’ then I’ve done my job,” adds Cox with a chuckle.

My Folk Music

He’s definitely done a good job this year, judging by the daytime programming.

Here are just four highlights.

My Folk Music, which nominally attempts to answer the old question about what folk music really is, features an eclectic array of performers. With British folkrock legends Steeleye Span, old-school acoustic blues master Fruteland Jackson, the brewed-in-Texas conjunto border music of Los TexManiacs, and Quebec’s funkily revved-up traditionalists Les Poules a Colin, this session will, if nothing else, redefine the boundaries of folk.

THE

People choose a music festival based on the lineup: enough big-name acts make for a happy customer.

Popular Island festivals like Rock the Shores and Sunfest use that “cavalcade of stars” approach, and it sure gets the audiences screaming for encores. But there is a whole other approach to programming, one that evolved out of great folk festivals such as Edmonton and Mariposa.

It, too, includes lots of headliners, but also offers something more: unique musical experiences and an intimacy between artist and audience. And Vancouver Island MusicFest regulars know that their festival has always done a brilliant job at this type of programming.

Often called “sessions,” the term refers to the numerous performances running simultaneously at several smaller stages throughout the day. Although these are sometimes just “in concert” presentations, many have been carefully curated to bring together several musicians or groups that will, collectively, reveal unexpected depths and interrelationships.

For example, a session called “Blues in the Morning” might combine an elder-statesman bluesman from Alabama, the hottest young guitar star on the scene, an exemplar of the bluesbased music from Mali, and a horn-driven street band from New Orleans.

The bands take turns talking about their music before performing it, and before long a jam-like groove often develops as these artists find joyful commonalities in the songs being performed.

Some sessions soar higher than others, but more often than not something special occurs as the musicians interact, improvise, and get excited about the collaborative musical experience they are all creating together.

Everyone loves a mainstage performance by Bonnie Raitt or John Hiatt, but it’s the unexpected – and never to be heard again – music from the daytime stages that many people remember the best after the festival is over.

“These sessions are definitely what the festival is all about, and where a lot of the magic happens,” says

Youth click at Photopia An unprecedented deluge of images submitted to Photopia 2015 made selecting winners a challenge for judges in the annual image competition.

More than half of the 79 entrants were to the new, Under-18 section. Organized by the CV Community Arts Council as part of Elevate The Arts festival, the exhibition Saturday in the Courtenay Library featured nearly 800 images shown on top-end, big-screen TVs loaned by McKay’s Electronics and Best Buy. Kristy Knowlan’s creative chops were well recognized; she was chosen as the winner in both the ‘Self-Reflection’ and ‘Manipulated’ categories.

Debra Rolston won for her submission to ‘Mirrors’ and Sarah Seads won in the ‘Shadows’ category. Dave Ingram’s entry in ‘Remembering’ brought him honour while Dennis McLaughlin’s work took top spot in ‘Opposites’.

Among the Under-18s, Aislynn Bush won in ‘Self-Reflection’, Joycelyn Poulton in ‘Mirrors’, Maya von Schilling in ‘Shadows.’ Daarien Kunz won in ‘Opposites’, Samantha Rae Harriss in ‘Remembering’ and Lizzie Gummer in ‘Manipulated’.

The Photopia 2015 theme was ‘Reflection’, in keeping with Elevate’s overall theme this year.

Debra Rolston’s winning image in ‘Mirrors’. different ways, noted Linda Perron, one of the judges and in her day job the chair of the fine arts department at North Island College.

The submissions demonstrated “a vast range of interpretations” of each of the categories, she said.

She and fellow judges Gordon Ross and Lisa Graham found the work strong all around, while “the most inspiring images came from the youth category where young photographers challenged themselves with the theme and explored the categories,” she said.

Sponsors stepped up to help in a big way.

McKay’s brought some of the finest televisions available on the market in Canada, including a 79-inch curved 4k screen worth $12,000 and a 10-bit colour unit worth $7,250.

Affordable Framing, Sure Copy Centre, Staples, London Drugs, Best Buy and Backdoor Gallery all contributed to the prize packages that totalled over $800 in value.

“Big ups to everyone who took courage to participate,” said organizer Jamie Bowman.

“As an open exhibition, everyone’s images were shown. The diversity and range was phenomenal, a true reflection of who we are as cultural people.”

Theatre Arts spring showcase Over the past three years, Comox Valley’s Danette Bell has been building an idea for all ages and all abilities.

Love To Perform Theatre Arts is an educational centre where a community of theatre enthusiasts work together in a year-round training program.

Whether you love to act, sing, dance, direct, or work behind the scenes, the skilful artistic team at LTPTA will dedicate themselves to nurturing your passion and guiding you in your artistic development.

Born and raised in the Comox Valley, Bell has been a dance educator for over 30 years. Although dance has been a notable passion for all her life, Bell has an equally creative passion for musical theatre, directing, producing, choreographing and costume design.

Kate Morrison, a current student of LTPTA, is “humbled” by Danette’s mentorship.

“We are building something pretty special here… Something fresh, where there is a healthy balance between the importance of training/technique and experiencing the elation we feel while performing,” said Morrison.

Now, back in the Comox Valley, Bell is thrilled to be collaborating with her fresh and creative team.

Chelsea Keene is coaching in the areas of acting, voice and musical theatre, alongside her long-time friend and colleague from the Canadian College of the Performing Arts, Ashley Schmidt who coaches various forms of movement and musical theatre.

Nearing this spring’s showcase entitled, Cabaret Noir:

Triple bill of entertainment at Fresh Fest On June 12, The River and The Road will be playing at “Fresh Fest - Seafood Feast and Concert In the Park”, the kickoff to the 2015 BC Shellfish & Seafood Festival.

Indie rockers Zerbin and local blues man Luke Blu Guthrie fill out the triple bill.

For The River and The Road, the concert is in promotion and celebration of the release of their new record Headlights (produced by Jamey Koch of Tragically Hip).

The folk-rock band from Vancouver is built on risking new beginnings and telling their stories along the way.

In their short history as a band, The River and The Road has grown from an entertaining duo to an internationally touring quartet relentlessly touring widely across Canada, completing many cost-to-coast tours among several other regional tours. The band’s members may hail from multiple countries, upbringings and musical backgrounds, but their individualities come

together to create unified sound that is unquestionably Americana – a convergence of folk, country, and rock.

2015 will see the band’s highlights set firmly on the road. The remainder of their cross-Canada tour in support of Headlights will be accompanied by a slew of supporting Canadian icons, while spread-

Concert Band in the Park

The Comox Valley Concert Band takes its show to the seaside, Sunday, June 14, 2 p.m. at the Comox Marina Park.

This year the band will share the green with the Powell River Wind Ensemble who will visit the Valley for this joint concert.

Both groups will perform independently, followed by a mass band spectacular featuring arrangements of Danny Boy, United Nations March and The Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

A unique dynamic occurs when music is performed in collaboration with the calls of seagulls, the laughter of children on swings and the rustle of breezes in the chestnut trees.

Bring a chair or blanket and share in an afternoon of music designed for the outdoor listener.

Plenty of marches, hummable pop tunes and rhythmic dances will round out the program.

Summer means music on the green and the concert band will be pleased to meet you there with sounds for the season.

Admission is by donation. The performance is sponsored by Comox Recreation.

WE DELIVER LARGE & SMALL LOADS! Chinook salmon and lingcod are prime targets of local anglers.

The currents also challenge your navigation skills when you try to troll a specific course in a deep water location.

It is also timely to watch the slack periods between high and low tides, but be aware slack water usually occurs at a different time than tidal change – which is why tide current tables are as important as tide tables.

One way to get around the heavy currents is to troll in moderately shallow waters of less than 100 feet wherever you can find schools of bait. The two fish in the photograph were taken in less than 80 feet of water.

If you observe diving ducks feeding in a relatively shallow area they are a reliable clue that there is bait below them.

One of the surprises in this type of fishing is that you frequently catch large, legal

lingcod feeding in the same area.

It should be noted that the season for hatchery marked coho opened in Area 14 waters on June 1. The daily limit is two hatchery marked coho. By targeting shallower water trolling you increase your chances of taking a coho.

Another species showing up in good numbers is Pacific cod, which is often overlooked by recreational anglers as a good food fish.

Fishing over schools of bait in shallower water is an opportune time to do some drift fishing with Buzz Bombs, Zzingers and other suitable drift lures.

It wasn’t so many years ago that drift fishing was the preferred method to fish the shallower waters from Kitty Coleman all the way down to Tribune Bay. I recently heard

As we enter June, the month of big tides and currents, we do so on a wave of successful marine fishing in local waters, particularly chinook salmon and lingcod.

Perhaps what is most important about such fish is that they serve two passions for anglers: 1. The thrill and excitement of playing a large fish to the net.

2. They are important sources of food caught in the recreational fishery.

Starting Friday, June 12 and running through to Sunday, June 21 we are in a series of extremely high and low daylight tides. For example, on Wednesday, June 17 we have a morning high of 14.7 feet running out to an afternoon low of 1.9 feet followed by a high tide of 16.3 feet at about 8:30 in the evening.

These are huge exchanges of water and the currents associated with these unusual high and low tides make trolling with deep lines a challenge. When you try to troll two deep lines in these currents you frequently spend much of your time untangling lines.

At this point, I once again took over driving without the hassle of re-setting my seat preferences; the settings were conveniently programmed into the seat position memory. Once back on the road I really put the pedal to the metal – the acceleration was brisk and delivered plenty of power. With that much power, typically comes a hefty bill at the gas station, and not because of all the ice cream sandwiches purchased there.

However, a comparison check shows the RDX offers fuel efficiency is rivalled by very few luxury SUVs. Given the often-steep gas prices we see these days, the RDX’s fuel economy on average is 10.6 litres/100 km, allowing motorists to enjoy summer drives guilt-free.

The pleasure of cruising the coastline was amplified by the views offered from the RDX’s raised stance. Driving as the sun dipped below the horizon meant it was time to open the moonroof. The

moonroof is easily operated with a onetouch power mechanism along with a visor that actively reduces the vibrations and noise associated with having a window open, allowing for a smooth and noise-free ride.

Last, but certainly not least, I had long been awaiting my parents’ arrival with the anticipation of finally properly learning how to parallel park. Much to my surprise, the Acura RDX provides all of the tools required to successfully complete this complex and sometimes dangerous (when I’m behind the wheel) task. The vehicle includes a multi-angle rear-view camera along with reverse tilt dual mirrors that provide curb views. I can now parallel park in the city without chagrin – hold onto your curbside parking spots, fellow motorists.

BUSINESS Brandon Le Sage — along with brothers Mitchell and Warren — is helping operate the bar at the historic Highwayman Pub in Union Bay. Their father Murray, the new pub owner, plans to have more of a saloon-feel when renovations are completed.

Members of the Comox Valley Women’s Business Network raised $3,008 at the annual Heart and Stroke Foundation Big Bike event Saturday in Comox.

Seven other teams took part in the annual event that supports heart disease and stroke research.

Union Bay pub re-opens ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

The Highwayman Pub in Union Bay has re-opened for the summer but will shut down come fall for renovations.

New owner Murray Le Sage had shut the doors a couple months back to start the renos before opening on Friday, May 29.

He wants the establishment to have more of an old-fashioned saloon feel with food and plenty of bar stools.

"Less tables, more standup," he said. "This is Phase One." For the second phase, he plans to move the bar and open up a wall so patrons can enjoy the ocean view.

"This is just a new chapter to an existing old tale," said Le Sage, who was in the process of purchasing the pub when the previous owner, Lorena Ramsay, passed away. Her husband and pub co-owner Willie Schmidt died earlier in the year.

The Highwayman's history dates back more than a century — back when Union Bay and Cumberland were dry communities.

"He (Robert Dunsmuir) enforced no booze," Le Sage said. "So of course those who had booze sold it. They were selling beer for 15 bucks a

case back when you could buy an eight-pound roast for three bucks.

"This one (building) was built in '24 but there was a building before it in the late-1800s.

It burned down in '22…The liquor licence didn't come until 1911."

The pub's original name was the Willis before it became the Islander Hotel and later the Highwayman.

"And before the Willis, a few feet away, was the Wilson, and it burned down too. It was a hotel without a licence. This is back before they had licences."

Le Sage's three sons — Brandon, Mitchell and Warren — will help run the bar.

The new kitchen manager is Nina Baker, whose McSwiggins clubhouse sandwich was legendary at the former Courtenay eatery.

She said the pub has a "fantastic menu" that will feature roast and other house specials — and her clubhouse. Most of the food is homemade.

"He's got such great ideas," Baker said of Le Sage.

January 27, 1970 ~ May 17, 2015

February 25, 1942- May 18, 2015

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Robert Dean Huffman on May 17, 2015 at the age of 45. Born in Saskatoon, Dean was raised in Moose Jaw, Sk. The son of Terry and Carol Huffman. Predeceased by his grandparents and the mother of his children (Michelle Gear). Survived by his two children, Jesse Huffman (age 20) and Ashely Huffman (age 19) of Courtenay BC; his father Terry Huffman of Kelowna; his mother Carol Huffman (Jerry Norris) of Marquis, Sk; two sisters, Dawn (Calvin) Selensky and their children; Debbie (Martin) Carnegie and their children; three brothers, Ryan Huffman of Courtenay; Scott Huffman and Jerry Norris of Marquis Sk. A Celebration of his life will be held at Piercy’s Funeral Home, 440 England Ave, Courtenay BC, June 13, 2015 at 1pm. Donations may be made in trust to his children, Jesse and Ashely, at any TD bank, Transit # 8208, Account # 6088601.

Born in Ukraine and immigrated to Canada in 1952, Victor grew up in Quebec and had mastered five languages by the young age of twelve.

Victor joined the Royal Canadian Navy where he was trained in his passion: diving.

It was on a cross Canada vacation from Grand Bend, Ontario to Vancouver Island, that Victor and his young family discovered the beautiful Comox Valley, and moved here shortly thereafter.

Victor was one of the pioneers of the geoduck industry, having harvested his first geoduck while diving in the shallows off the Comox Bar in 1977.

Victor retired to South Western Ontario and has lived in the Welland area for the past many years.

Victor is survived by his two sons Victor Jr. and Paul, and his two grandchildren. A service was held in Welland, Ontario May 21, 2015.

Helmuth Jørgensen 1926 – 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Helmuth Jorgensen. Born in Denmark on March 20th, 1926 and passed away in his home on Sunday, May 31st, 2015.

He was a loving and devoted husband, father and Far Far. He was predeceased by his parents Marius and Ingeborg, brother Preben and sister Hella, and his loving wife Grethe and companion in later years Margaret Brown.

Family left to celebrate and honour his life – Children - Annie, Sussie (Roy), Ben (Ann); Grandchildren – Tyler (Claire), Bryan, Travis and Katelynn; Great Grandchildren – Riley, Brayden, and Eliza and extended family and family in Denmark.

Helmuth trained in Denmark under master craftsmen of the day and then answered the international call out for skilled tradesmen and chose to immigrate to Canada in May, 1957 where he and his wife Grethe made their home first in Port Alberni and then finally residing in Cumberland to raise their family.

He spent his life in the construction industry. As a young carpenter working on a new nursing home in Denmark his only major incident was falling 7 meters and sustaining a broken jaw. Considering the height of the fall he was very lucky it was not worse. His hands were involved in many projects around the Comox Valley and Campbell River including expansions to Cumberland Diagnostic & Treatment Center and St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Helmuth was always willing to help out a neighbour and lend a hand where needed.

He enjoyed working in his garden and making beautiful stained glass. Time in the winter months was spent doing Danish crossword puzzles which were sent on a regular basis from family in Denmark.

He was an avid reader, a great teller for historical events with many memories of World War 2 and how it affected him as a teenager.

In later years he found enjoyment with the computer, keeping up with family and news from abroad. As Mr. Blomgren stated he loved talking about Federal and Local Politics and the internet kept him thoroughly abreast of all the latest news giving him lots of fuel for discussion and opinions.

He always had a story to tell and could lighten any situation with his humour.

We would like to Thank Dr. Woldnik and all the Caring Persons from Home Support who helped to keep our promise for Dad to stay in his home. Your Caring and Loving Support is Very Much Appreciated.

The family also wishes to thank all those that took time out of their busy days to stop by and visit with Dad, these visits always brightened his days. Family wishes to thank Piercy’s Funeral Home who are in charge of arrangements for all their help. Memorial donations may be made to Comox Valley Hospice Society or Canadian Cancer Society.

There is no service by request of Helmuth. “Don’t be sad and mopey, I lived a good life just tired now and ready to go.�

Remember Far Far “Fenders on a BMX Bike are not cool to a 5 year old�

In loving memory

Anysysmiw, Victor

Douglas Dewar Paton March 14, 1923- June 4, 2015 On June 4, 2015, Doug Paton died the same way he lived, with a minimum of fuss and fanfare.

He believed decency, honesty and integrity made for a happy and satisfied life; that doing the right thing was not optional, but was the measure of your character. He lived with these convictions and taught them to his children and many grandchildren. He was a well-liked friend, co-worker, and employer, and a much loved father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Doug was born to urban life in Kelfield, Saskatchewan on March 14, 1923, but soon showed his love for all things outdoors. As a boy, he hunted, fished and helped out on his cousin’s farm near Buchanan. He turned 18 during WWII and quickly joined the RCAF. After pilot training in Dauphin and Portage, he went overseas and flew the Mosquito, with missions over Holland, Germany & France. He survived two crash landings.

After the war, Doug married Anna and made career choices based on what they thought best for their increasing family. After 2 years studying Aeronautical Engineering at UBC, they moved to Woss Lake, where he began his long logging career. From 1961- 1968, the family moved back to the farm in Saskatchewan, then in 1968, a return to Woss.

Doug was forcibly retired in 1976, after a car accident left him unable to continue as a logger. Retirement slowed him down, but didn’t stop him. His pleasures in life remained constant. As much as he was able, he continued hunting and fishing. He played a little golf, getting a hole-in-one at age 88. He was a formidable opponent in both cribbage and scrabble, and loved the visits from his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We are better for having known him.

Doug is predeceased by wife Anna and son Charles. He is survived by sons, Joel and Robert, daughters, Mary, Jane and Peggy.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Bakshi and Amanda Levicek and her incredible staff, as well as the volunteers in The Views.
