In 2013, the company closed two sets of gates that blocked traffic flow for several weeks on Comox Logging Road and Duncan Bay Main.

“We can’t take the chance, especially if there’s people at the falls, on the trails, and a fire were to start,” Atwall said.

“Between them and the road, how do they get out?” He realizes the public will continue to use Stotan regardless of road

closures and No Trespassing signs.

“Somewhere along the line people need to be a little more responsible in what they do down there.

We can’t carry the risk of it all, so we’ve got to do what we have to do from a risk management perspective.”

Due to a high risk of fire, 3L Developments has closed its property in and around Stotan Falls to the public.

The Nanaimo-based company owns 153 hectares of land that encompasses sections of the Puntledge and Browns rivers, including Stotan.

As of Friday, the gates were still open on Comox Logging Road and Duncan Bay Main. However, 3L spokesman Kabel Atwall expected them to soon close.

“There’s just too much fire hazard out there,” Atwall said.

“We have too much land at risk.”

Senior battling VAC over pension ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

His military days are long behind him, but Chuck Murray continues to battle Veterans Affairs Canada for the disability benefits he feels he deserves.

The 79-year-old Comox man endured three accidents during 23 years of service as an engine mechanic in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). The first occurred in a hangar in the mid-1950s in Claresholm, Alta. When an aircraft turned the wrong way, Murray ran and tripped into a piece of machinery and was knocked out. When he awoke, he was draped over the hood of a towing tractor en route to the hospital.

In the second incident in Macdonald, Man., he was blindsided when playing flag football and again knocked out — and again admitted to hospital.

“If you get hurt in the military,

they’re obligated to make a report,” Murray said. “But there’s no accident report, therefore it never happened.”

In a third incident, he broke his ankle after slipping off an aircraft.

“It’s not my job to make out that paperwork. Therefore, if the paperwork’s not done, according to the department of Veteran’s Affairs, it never happened.”

Later in life, Murray has experienced various health problems. The

Get our experience working for you!

doctor’s report from the football injury describes an avulsion fracture that upsets the vagus nerve, a pathway between the brain and organs.

“I pass out because it upsets the whole rhythmic system of the heart.

It sets off an electrical storm in my head. It’s like having lightning in your head.”

Considering his injuries, Murray feels he’s entitled to more than his monthly pension of about $1,000.

Having never passed a medical, he has not been able to work after his military career.

“Financially it’s been hard,” said Murray, who raised two children with his wife, Gemma. “We’re not poor but we could have done better if I had my health back.”

He hasn’t resolved anything on the several occasions he has requested information from VAC. But they finally relented when he inquired through the office of Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan.

Government has changed the rules allowing veterans to access documentation to which they had not been privy.

Reimer elected as president of BCPVPA

CAMPBELL RIVER

Ltd.

■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

With a goal to advocate for principals and vice-principals across the province, Lake Trail Middle School principal Kevin Reimer is the next president of an organization representing 2,100 administrators.

The British Columbia Principal and Vice-Principal’s Association recently

elected Reimer - who served on the board of directors for the past few years - to the position, which will see him move to Vancouver for the next two years.

“I want to bring my leadership to a larger audience, and I’ve had some success in my role as principal and I’ve enjoyed advocating in my own district,” he explained.

Reimer said the appointment will allow him to offer his perspective as to where the organization will go moving forward in a more formal capacity than a board member.

With 60 school districts to visit in the duration of his term, Reimer added he is especially looking forward to examining the “very, very different needs and diversity depending on the district.

“Our district has some very innovative programs and I’m glad to share in the success.”

Originally from Vancouver, he and his wife will make the move to the Lower Mainland, but he added they plan on returning to the Valley upon completion of his term to return as a principal in the school district.

Murray: ‘There should be no need for a veteran to get legal advice’ Con’t from Page 3 “It would be fair to say that in cases like this, veterans can see documents today that they could not have seen previously,” Duncan said. “There’s still some bureaucracy involved because they have to file a request.

But we’ll help in that process if people are so inclined.”

Though they left out records from Murray’s four years in Manitoba, VAC released several ‘protected’ documents.

Portions of a doctor’s letter dated 1993 have been redacted.

A memo from the Pensions Medical Advisory Directorate says: “There is absolutely no record of injury or accident corroborated by a report of injuries, etc. during RF service. The claimed condition was first manifest during his RF service, however, one is unable to relate the condition to the exigencies of RF service.”

Another memo from 1995 says: “There have been no injuries to the spine during the regular force service.”

Neither VAC nor the Bureau of Pensions Advocates Canada could comment

on Murray’s case due to privacy. The latter is an organization of lawyers with VAC that provides free legal help for people who are dissatisfied with decisions about claims for disability benefits.

“There should be no need for a veteran to get legal advice,” said Murray, who feels the VAC system is “bro-

ken.”

“The DVA was not acting as my advocate from the beginning.

They just out and out bloody lied to me. If it’s not documented then it never happened. They just say ‘prove it,’ so all the onus is shifted onto the veterans. They’re (military) required by law to document what happened to a

also spoke with the Privacy Commission, which told him to go back to VAC. “When you’re 79 years of age you don’t have much time to wait another 33 years for things to happen,” he said.

Editorial

Wasn’t that a party

All those in attendance can attest: those who missed it, missed one heck of a party, at the Comox Valley Sports Centre on Saturday.

The Courtenay Centennial Committee kicked off a week- (or so) long schedule of festivities Saturday with the Sports Festival and Tailgate Party and if the first day of celebrations is any indications, this will be a week not to be missed.

Minor hockey, soccer and football players got the sports day rolling with games and skills competitions on the main field, while folks in giant bubbles played soccer on the artificial pitch.

There were all kinds of games for the youngsters and companies were set up with free drinking water (an essential to combat the record-breaking temperatures), free food and free pop.

Tailgaters got into the spirit of the event in a big way, with barbecues of all shapes and sizes, tents, inflatable swimming pools and banners galore.

A special congratulations goes out to “The Great Canadian Tailgaters” who won a barbecue for being the best tailgaters there.

The CFL football games - and more so, the Women’s World Cup soccer game between Canada and England - were all a big hit, with fans flocking around the giant screen television to cheer.

The BC Fe-Lions cheerleading squad was on hand, as were numerous CFL alumni, including Canadian Football Hall of Famer Dave Cutler, who made Elijah’s day by letting the youngster try on his 1982 Grey Cup ring.

And XLR8 put the perfect finishing touches on the party.

The best news is that’s just the beginning of this historic week.

Tonight there’s The Originals at Simms Park, with Todd Butler, Gord Carter, Comox & Friends and Sue Medley all taking the stage.

Canada Day has a full slate of activities, including the Freedom of the City renewals, the parade, and a bevy of activities in Lewis and Simms Parks.

Thursday night features Champagne Jam at Simms, as Doug Cox, Sam Hurry, Barry Polichek and Rob Flannery host a jam session with some of the greatest musicians in the Valley.

And of course the grand finale to Homecoming Week, the Symphony and Fireworks at the Airpark.

So if you missed the first party of Homecoming week, luckily for you, this party goes strong, all week long.

POLITICS

The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics.

When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provocative name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of U.S. politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about

ney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

This spring the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

“dark money” in Canadian politics.

Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a union-financed action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.)

Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-campaign” period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attor-

A Canada Day reflection

Dear editor, Again we come to the anniversary of Confederation.

We remember, some of us, our fathers who crossed the sea, long years ago. We remember their faith, their courage, and their perseverance.

We remember their love for the old country—a love that never really left—and that new love that came afterwards, a love that built new homes in a new land and that made of those homes a nation.

We remember, others of us, how our families have lived in this country longer than history can tell, and how our stories, so closely tied to the land, have become a part of the same nation.

We remember, still others, how we ourselves came here, and marvel at the welcome that met us.

We look around us, wondering at the glory of snow-capped peaks, forested slopes, mighty waters, and sparkling beaches. We watch the eagle, soaring high above us, and examine the starfish, moving almost imperceptibly below. The colours, sounds and smells of our home, at once fresh and familiar, always enchant us—and an endless variety awaits us between west and eastern sea.

We relax within our houses, with food, clothing, entertainment--truly we live in a land of plenty!

We think of our Parliament, Crown and People in ancient and indissolu-

ble union, and of the freedom that we have in such a government. We think of our institutions of law, commerce and education, and of the opportunity that each can offer.

We go abroad now, and survey the globe, and see beauty in every land. In all places we find something good and pleasant. But we ever turn back, back to the land that is our home.

And we thank God for Canada.

Brendon Johnson, Courtenay

A First Nations monument is an appropriate reminder

Dear editor, Our country has now been presented with the Truth and Reconciliation Report. It was every thing some of us feared.

It is part of our oral and written Canadian history. When it was presented P.M. Harper and cabinet minister Bernard Valcourt’s responses said volumes about their attitudes and explains for me why the problems for First Nations people continue to this day.

Stephen Harper wants to build a monument to the victims of communism on the space allocated for a new court house in Ottawa, yet he signed a 31-year trade deal with China. The hypocrisy is overwhelming.

The real disgrace in our history is what happened to First Nations children. They were rounded up, placed in schools/camps, had experiments

conducted on them, were beaten, starved, sexually abused, died at the same rate as soldiers in WW II, and their parents mostly never notified.

If Canada is going to build any sort of monument to anyone in this country it ought to be to the First Nations children who were subjected to this genocide. We need this monument to remind each and every one of us what happened in this country and to ensure it never happens again.

If the Prime Minister thinks its a good idea to build monuments for victims we ought to start with those victims who were citizens of Canada.

Multiple chemical sensitivity sufferers offer info

Dear editor, It’s that time of year again when everybody has their windows open and enjoys a fresh breeze. I just wanted to inform any that might not know that some people suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity. For some people, the scent chemicals wafting from dryer vents when we use scented laundry detergent causes a reaction.

Let’s make an effort to reduce the scent chemicals we are exposed to and that we expose others to so that everyone can enjoy a fresh summer breeze.

Thanks for your consideration.

Canadian Mosaic Project: Picture this One year became seven

■ Terry Farrell terry.farrell @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Exactly what was that picture-covered RV seen driving around the Comox Valley this month?

It was a legacy in the making.

Forty-six-year-old Tim Van Horn visited Vancouver Island in June for the second time in the past seven years, adding more touches to his Canadian Mosaic Project, which will be unveiled during Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations, in 2017.

Van Horn said that while the project has been a work in progress for seven years, the motivation is a result of his upbringing.

“I grew up with a sense of duty - I’m a military kid.

My parents all served, my grandparents, my brother… so I grew up feeling I needed to do something equivalent to what my parents did, regarding service. So I came up with the idea to travel across Canada and unite this country for our 150th birthday.”

He wasn’t expecting the project to take as long as it has.

Horn, it was a fascinating experience, and not a duty He left his home in Red Deer, Alta. in 2008 for what for the timid.

“I feel a real strong desire to unite the country, so it he planned to be a “one year creative tour of duty.” wasn’t at all intimidating for me to approach strangers, Little did he know what he was in store for, when he put my hand out and say ‘I need your began the project. help with this project I am doing.’ It was “I got out there and started meeting a bit of a barometer of how accepting There has never all these people and listening to their stories.

If you had your photo taken on one of Van Horn’s visits to the Valley, remember what you wore that day. There will be no clues as to where your photo will appear on the exhibit.

“You will have to look for your picture on this bus and that will allow you to discover a whole bunch of other people along the way,” he said.

“It’s about opening your imagination, and opening up your sense of belonging within the greater community. So while you are looking for yourself, you are going to discover the greater community, through all these individual stories.

“Woven into all these portraits are text: quotes, philosophy, maybe just one word, like ‘courage’ or ‘individuality’. What I have learned is what the people want, what the people need, is inspiration.”

Van Horn said his love of photography goes back to his very early years.

“I picked up a Canadian Geographic magazine where I was the tender age of five years old and I decided right then and there that I wanted to be a cameraman so I could travel, experience people’s cultures, and go on these endless adventures. I never lost track of that. I’ve been fortunate enough to find my calling at a young age, and stick with it and not lose track.”

Van Horn said he did not seek out any corporate sponsorship for the project. This is about the people, and as such, any funding not coming from his own life savings, is coming from the people.

He is accepting donations on his website - canadianmosiac.ca Anyone interested can “sponsor a kilometre” for $20.

He has applied, unsuccessfully, for grants.

“I tried nine times, with Alberta Foundation for the Arts, for grants, and I have been denied nine times, so I don’t even try that route anymore,” he said. “I am funding it on my own, because I feel very strongly that a project like this should not have a logo on it. I am keeping this thing corporate-free.

“This is not about money. The universe has said ‘we need you to go do this. Do it, and we will take care of you.’”

Van Horn has been across Canada five times during the creation of the project and estimates he has covered 150,000 kilometres. He expects to be completed shooting content for the bus, and the accompanying book, within the next 11 months. The final year will be spent in production.

The completed project will be on the road from May 2017 to June of 2018. It will start in Red Deer, head up to Whitehorse, then cover B.C. in July of 2017.

Comox student makes a statement with environmentally friendly grad dress ■ Terry Farrell terry.farrell @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Erika Massicotte walked the walk at her grad, and she’s hoping that she started a trend.

When the grad committee was discussing themes for the 2015 École Au coeur-de-l’île graduation, “Hope for Humanity” was brought up as one possibility. Massicotte took that theme to heart.

Her grad dress was made entirely out of recyclable paper and organic products.

“I didn’t feel like spending hundreds of dollars on a grad dress and I wanted to encourage recycling as well as sticking with natural, organic and local materials,” Massicotte told The Record.

Ultimately, the grad committee decided against going with a particular theme for the Class of 2015, but Massicotte was not deterred.

“I just decided I was going to do it anyway,” she said.

Massicotte noted there was originally some resistance to her idea, particularly from parents of graduating students.

“Many of the mothers were concerned about me showing up in a paper dress, particularly due to my lack of artistic skills,” said Massicotte. “So an art teacher from our school, Teresa Renaud, asked me if she could create one for me. It turned out to be a success. Most people didn’t even notice that my dress was made out of recycled materials. I was also able to sit in a car, go to dinner and go to the bathroom twice with the dress.”

Massicotte said it was the ideal way for her to express the theme of the grad, and it was all made possible because of the efforts of a teacher.

“I can’t thank Teresa enough; she is truly a talented woman,” said Massicotte. “I believe Teresa has started a new trend at our school; girls have already asked her to make them recycled dresses for their grad year.”

The total cost of her dress was less than what most grads spent on corsages: $30. Renaud would not accept payment from Massicotte. In keeping with the theme of the grad, Renaud asked Massicotte to put the money to a humanitarian cause.

“Instead of giving her the $30, she asked that I send that money as a donation to the Salvation Army or to next year’s recycled dress

YQQ call for art submissions

■ L’ARCHE ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Carolanne Hetu, celebrated as the L’Arche Artist of the Month for June, works on one of her engaging and cheerful art works. Carolanne joined the L’Arche community in Courtenay in 2013 as an assistant at Jubilee House. She has been making art all her life and participates in the art program at the L’Arche Outreach Centre every Wednesday. In this program, people with and without disabilities work together exploring ways to express their unique creativity. Carolanne loves detailed black and white drawings but is always excited to try new things. You can drop by the Outreach Centre for coffee on Fridays between 10 -11:30 and see some of the art work, candles and jewelry participants have made. We are at the corner of 10th and Fitzgerald in Courtenay.

The Comox Valley Airport Commission and the Comox Valley Community Arts Council are seeking submissions for the 2015 Art and Culture Program at the Comox Valley Airport.

This year’s exhibition, entitled Island Connections, will run for six months from November 2015 to May 2016.

In this call for submission, the airport is seeking two- and three-dimensional art pieces that celebrate a connection to the Island – to the many special places, people and experiences available on Northern Vancouver Island. Work can be representative of the emotional, physical, literal and/ or ethereal sense of being linked or associated with this part of the Island. Art submissions may be in the form of paintings, original prints, photography, mixed media, textiles and/or sculpture.

“There are many types of Vancouver Island connections that can be explored in this exhibition from those that are natural, genuine and fundamental,” explained Dallas Stevenson, executive director of the Comox Valley Community Arts Council. “When a person, an idea or a thing is brought together, associated

or literally connected with something else, it is a connection.

“We are inviting artists to respond to this with the Island in mind. It is always incredibly exciting to see the interpretations on this theme and possible connections to the airport.”

Regehr helps Canada to bronze medal ■ Earle Couper coup @comoxvalleyrecord.com

It’s a long way from Courtenay to Quebec.

And ever farther to Korea.

But you won’t hear Joel Regehr complaining about his travel itinerary. Regehr was one of three UBC Thunderbirds men’s volleyball players that helped Canada win bronze at the seven-team U-21 Pan American Cup, which ran June 23-28 in Gatineau, Que. The Canadian team will also be competing at the World Universiade Games in Gwangju, Korea from July 3-14 and wrapping up their busy summer at the FIVB World Championships Sept. 11-20 in Mexico.

Regehr, a 6’,7”, 207pound middle, was Mark R. Isfeld Senior

Joel Regehr (#9) of Courtenay was one of three UBC Thunderbird players with PHOTO SUBMITTED Canada at the U-21 Pan American Cup last week.

Athlete of the Year in 2013 and played five years with the Comox Valley Strikers Volleyball Club. He will be going into his second year of eligibility this fall at UBC where he is a Kinesiology student.

Scholarship On June 25, Volleyball BC announced Regehr was one of two

recipients of a Ray Lepp Scholarship, the other being Vanessa Cornwall of Trinity Western University.

Raimond (Ray) Lepp was a founding member of Volleyball BC in 1965, and continued as a board member until 1978.

With Lepp’s passing, he donated funds to create an endowment

fund that awards $2,000 scholarships annually to one male and one female post-secondary B.C. athlete.

Recipients are selected based on their demonstrated leadership, commitment to academic excellence, and potential to join the Canadian National team.

Medallists The Canadian team clinched the bronze medal Sunday with a 3-2 victory over Chile, a rematch from their preliminary round, also won 3-2 by Canada.

Canada opened June 23 with a 3-0 victory over Mexico.

After beating Chile on June 25 to clinch top spot in Pool A they lost 3-1 to the U.S. in the June 27 semis.

The event featured top up-and-coming volleyball athletes from the NORCECA and South American zones.

“The competition is ... excellent, and it leads us into a very busy summer, which culminates at the World Junior Championships in Mexico in September,” said Canada’s head coach, John Barrett.

“We’re excited to be competing here in Canada, with the best young men we have – it’s a great opportunity for all of us.”

Wilroc Sprint cars put the ‘speed’ in speedway Speed. That was the word that best described a great night of racing on Saturday as the Wilroc Lite Sprint cars made their return to Saratoga Speedway.

The evening marked the biggest field of Wilroc Lites the Black Creek oval has ever seen, with 17 of the Island’s fastest cars putting on an amazing show. Strong car counts in the other fields saw 11 Dwarf cars, 11 I.M.C.A. Modifieds and five Bomber cars join into the fun.

Each class had one dash with wins going to #87 Boston Larson, #24 Mike

Meeres, #92 Dano Bryant and #15s Mark Stuart. Heat race action saw wins go to #87 Boston Larson in the Bomber class, #24 Mike Meeres once again in the Dwarf car class, #91 Chris Beaulieu in the Modified division, and finally #32 Ryan Orchard and #42 Guy Barrett with the Lite wins.

In the 20-lap Bomber main event Larson and #98 Giles Cyr battled hard all the way, with Cyr grabbing the lead on lap 12 and holding off Larson to take the win.

once again dominate the field, grabbing the lead on lap seven and not looking back, taking home all three Dwarf car races in a borrowed race car.

Eight cars entered the competitive 25-lap Modified main. Bryant and Beaulieu staged a hard-fought battle for the lead, but Beaulieu jumped ahead on lap 14 and pulled away to take his third main event win of the year, propelling himself back into the points lead.

Sixteen cars took to the track for the 25-lap Wilroc Lite main and a tight battle ensued between several

Tennis group hopes to net grant ■ Earle Couper coup @comoxvalleyrecord.com

The North Island Regional Tennis Society has high hopes of netting a $250,000 grant from Kraft Project Play.

How high? As part of their application for the grant, the group had a photo taken from a Comox Fire Department ladder looking down on the tennis courts by the Comox Community Centre with Robb Road students and Comox Valley Tennis Club members lined

up to spell the word “KRAFT.” The NIRTS wants to build a four-court indoor tennis facility for the North Island located at the Comox Valley Sports Centre beside G.P. Vanier Secondary School.

Firefighter Pascal Lafreniere took the photo, and the event was videotaped by a drone. Several other Island media outlets were also present.

Another photo snapped that day showed the courts full of players showing youngsters on one side of the nets facing adults on the other side.

Kraft Project Play is helping to build a better future by building better places to play, notes the Kraft Project Play

website. There are four categories: tennis, soccer, basketball and open pillar (playground, skatepark, etc.).

The grand prize winner will receive $250,000 for their recreational facility upgrade and the three secondary prize winners will each receive $25,000 toward their recreational facility upgrade.

All nominations can be viewed at kraftprojectplay.com The top four will be announced July 26 on TSN SportsCentre and RDS Sports 30 and voting (on the competition website) will be held Aug. 17-18.

The winners will be announced Aug. 21 on TSN SportsCentre and RDS Sports 30.

Donna Kellene (Kelli) Reynolds

Andrew “Bunt� Ireland

June 22, 1961 ~ June 15, 2015

December 22, 1924 - June 19, 2015

With deep sorrow her family announces the passing of Donna Kellene (Kelli) Reynolds at Royal Alexandra Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta. She fought a courageous battle against cancer with dignity and grace. Her determination to maintain a positive spirit and appreciate each day was an inspiration.

Kelli was born at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, the only child of Marvin (deceased 2007) and Donna Watson. She lived in the Comox Valley until her 1979 graduation from G.P. Vanier. After moving to Pitt Meadows and Coquitlam she qualiďŹ ed and was employed in Child Care programs. Following her marriage to Les Reynolds (1981) Kelli moved to Edmonton and became the proud, devoted mother of two sons, Michael (Crystal) and Mathew (Erin).

Kelli worked part-time as a medical receptionist which allowed her to volunteer and support the various activities that her boys undertook.

She was never too busy to be available: no request was too large or too small.

Kelli truly loved being a Mom and frequently brought her boys to the family home at Gartley Beach. There they could pursue the activities she had enjoyed as a child and there she could maintain contact with lifelong friends. Hawaii was a favourite travel destination and Kelli especially enjoyed a 2011 trip to Europe with her sons.

Kelli had a rare and beautiful ability to reach out and create connections. She was blessed with caring, supportive friends and extended family. Her chosen “sister� Susan Taylor, and neighbour, Pat Dickinson, assisted family to enable Kelli to remain at home, with the services of the Cross Cancer Institute and Alberta Acute Home Care. Close friends, Elaine Allan, Shelley Longland, Candace MacDonald and Kelli’s cousin, Patrick Lawley, earned our deep appreciation.

A Gathering for Remembrance to celebrate Kelli’s life will be held at the Westerly Hotel, Courtenay Room, on July 11th at 1:30P.M.

Born Edinburgh Scotland, he was the youngest of ďŹ ve children. Immigrated to Kelowna, BC where he attended school and played baseball; later he moved with his family to Victoria. He proudly served in the RCAF from December 1942-April 1946. He was the President of the Courtenay Legion from 1969-1971. As a member of the 888 Wing he enjoyed working with the garden crew. Bunt was a well-known automotive parts man in the Comox Valley. After retirement Bunt and Jean spent many years travelling to Yuma were they easily made many lifelong friends, he kept his quick wit and wonderful sense of humour right to the end.

Predeceased by his siblings, ex-wife Dorothy Ireland, wife Jean Leslie, stepson Gary Leslie. Survived and deeply missed by his children Dorothy (Terry), Andy (Marion), grandchildren Angus and Megan. Stepchildren Lynne (Barry), Ian (Donna), Doug (Pat) and numerous step grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

Bunt was never comfortable in the limelight so there will be no service.

In lieu of owers a donation to the Legion Poppy Fund to honour those that served our country.

Thank you to Dr. Matous and all the compassionate, caring staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital; you made a difference.

John David ‘Bucky’ Buchanan.

January 21, 1938 – June 24, 2015.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of John ‘Bucky’ Buchanan, 77, who died suddenly at home in Comox on June 24, 2015. He is survived by Chris (nee Pasaluko), his loving wife of 52 years, children Colin (Kathy), Ian, Wylie, and Heather (Jay Everitt) and grandchildren Emma, Ryan, Mirren, Hayley, and Daniel.

Bucky was born and raised in Winnipeg MB and attended University of Manitoba, graduating with a B.Sc. Engineering, following which he received an MBA from the University of Western Ontario. Bucky spent almost his entire working career at Inland Steel and Forgings, Ltd. in Winnipeg MB, where he was lead engineer and designer, retiring in 1997. Following his retirement Bucky and Chris moved to Comox. Bucky was an avid outdoor enthusiast and pursued canoeing, skiing, hiking, and backcountry camping. Bucky paddled whitewater rivers and lakes in his native Manitoba, remote Arctic rivers, went backcountry ski touring in the Canadian Rockies, as well as cross-country skiing, hiking, camping, and generally enjoying the outdoors wherever he found himself. Bucky dedicated his time to many organizations, including the Manitoba Naturalists, the Grey Hares Ski Club, Purcell Lodge, and the Comox Valley Elder College. At Elder College, Bucky found a cadre of like-minded individuals and ďŹ lled several roles there, serving on the executive, teaching computer courses, providing technical support, and coordinating speakers for lecture series.

His Elder College group hiking and walking tours will be especially well remembered. Bucky’s natural curiosity drew him to discovery of new places and activities throughout his life. He was an avid and eclectic reader, reading widely in history, politics, economics, and science ďŹ ction. No one who knew him will be surprised that he even found computer manuals and tax law of interest. Later in life he took up Tai Chi (which provided some amusement for his grandchildren). In everything he did, Bucky’s approach was thorough and methodical, but also querying and curious, and his enthusiasm for new subjects was invariably infectious.

While Bucky had a real passion for the outdoors and life-long learning, his great love was his family and he will be deeply missed.

The family held a private service on June 27. Friends and well-wishers are invited to join the family at their home at 353 Wireless Rd. on Friday, July 10 between 1:00pm and 4:00pm for a celebration of life memorial. In lieu of owers, a bursary is being established in Bucky’s name at North Island College.

Sunshine passes, shadows fall; Love’s remembrance outlasts all.

George Phillip Prothero June 22, 1935 – June 17, 2015

George passed away on the morning of June 17, 2015 after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease.

Predeceased by his parents Alfred and Isobel Prothero, George is survived by his wife of 44 years, Wendy Prothero; son, David; daughters, Adrienne (Gregg) Moore, Lisa (Bruce) Hoskins; grandchildren, Acacia & Elliot Moore, Freya & Josie Hoskins; brothers, Jack (Joyce) Prothero, Frank (Nancy) Prothero, sister-in-law Linda King, many, many wonderful nieces and nephews; and his family in the United States, England, Switzerland and Wales.

George was born in Toronto moving to Port Stanley, Ontario at the age of 5 where he spent his childhood and then on to St. Thomas, Ontario where he attended St. Thomas Collegiate Institute.

George was very active in Army Cadets throughout his schooling and received numerous awards for marksmanship. Upon graduation, George attended the University of Western Ontario with his two brothers where he received an Honours Degree in Geography.

George then taught for two years in Ridgetown, Ontario before spending four years teaching with the Department of National Defence in Metz, France during which time he travelled extensively in Europe. In 1969, George came out west with his parents to teach at Howe Sound Senior Secondary in Squamish, British Columbia. He met and married Wendy in 1971 and two years later successfully convinced her to go farming in the Comox Valley. For 25 years George and Wendy lived at 2012 Anderton Road, raising three children and turning the vegetable farm into a successful business – Anderton Road Nursery.

Throughout his life George enjoyed a great love for the outdoors – skiing, hiking, fishing, canoeing camping, sailing, tennis, golf and cycling were among his favourite things to do. In 1996 George and Wendy retired and bought a sailboat with which they had many adventures. George had many wonderful friends in the Comox Valley who he met through farming, playing sports and volunteering with various organizations such as the Comox Valley Farmers Institute, Cape Lazo Power and Sail Squadron and the Brooklyn Creek Streamkeepers. He had a gentle personality, wonderful sense of humour, he was thoughtful of others, congenial and optimistic and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

The family would like to thank all of the people who cared for George during this journey particularly Dr. David Musgrave, Dr. Peter Gee, Dr. Glen Kisman, UBC Movement and Disorder Clinic, Christine MacIntosh, The Medicine Shoppe, Comox Valley Parkinson’s Support Group, Island Health caregivers and Nurses and staff at the Comox Valley Seniors Village. A special thanks to all of our family and the many dear friends who have given us comfort and support now and over many years.

A Celebration for George will be held at D’Esterre House at 1801 Beaufort Avenue in Comox on Saturday, July 4th from 2:30-4:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in honour of George to the Parkinsons Society of Canada (www. parkinsons.ca) or a nature sustaining charity of your choice.

Kevin is survived by his sons Matthew and Justin McCabe of Ottawa, stepson Cody Zaleschuk of Port Alberni, stepdaughter Brittney Thom, sister Sharon Hastings (John) of Comox Valley, brother John McCabe (Karen) of Comox Valley, stepsisters Betty Armour (Dave), Barb Arseneau, Lynn O’Connell (Mike) also several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Flowers gratefully declined in consideration of donations in Kevin’s memory to a charity of one’s choice.

The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Campbell River and St. Joseph’s hospital for all their wonderful care.

Isaac “Ikeâ€? Warren On June 21, 2015, our loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather slipped away from our arms to meet his ďŹ nal resting place and to have ever-lasting peace. Left to miss Ike is his wife, Germaine; his children, Lisa (Joshua) and Christopher; his grandchildren, Angel, Isaac and Joshua. He is survived by his mother, Edith; sister, Rita; and brothers, Bill and Carter.

He was predeceased by his father, Isaac Sr. and sister, Shirley.

His passion was his 35 years spent in the Canadian Armed Forces where he retired proudly and successfully in the rank of Master Warrant OfďŹ cer. A distinguished and digniďŹ ed man, Ike received many medals during his service. Despite being retired, Ike voluntarily went to Afghanistan for two tours. For the past 11 years Ike developed a green thumb and his new passion became nature and working on his land where he loved to plant from seed and watch things grow and blossom. If something had the least bit of a sprout on it, he saw it and saw life. But Ike’s ďŹ rst and longest passion was the love, devotedness and commitment he gave his wife, Germaine, his children, Chris and Lisa, and later in life, his grandchildren, Angel, Isaac and Joshua.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 25 at 2 p.m. in Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys Parish, “St. James locationâ€?, 1274 Hammonds Plains Rd. OfďŹ ciating at the service will be Father Joe MacKinnon.

Thirty ďŹ ve years of military service and two tours in Afghanistan could NOT prepare Ike for the battle of cancer which raged throughout him in the end. May he lovingly and sincerely rest in peace. Online condolences can be made at: www. rawalker.ca

GRADUATION 2015 - Mark R. Isfeld Secondary Valedictorian Adrian Humphry Adrian Humphry has been around — the world, that is. At age five, he and his family drove to Central America where they spent a year-and-ahalf before moving from Vancouver to the Comox Valley. “We like to travel a lot.

We’ve been to Africa and Italy, but Central America was the biggest trip,” he said, recalling watermelon slurpees and early morning hikes to temples where they would watch the sunrise.

Adrian also likes soccer, played on the school rugby team and performed with the jazz band.

He and the Isfeld robotics team have twice competed at the world championships. Two years ago, they placed about 40th out of roughly 400 teams. Then last

year, the squad placed third at the competition in Anaheim, Calif. “That was very exciting.”

The team again qualified this year but decided not to attend when one member could not make the trip.

In the fall, Adrian will be at the University of Toronto studying engineering sciences.

His message to his peers is to do as many things as you can, and figure out what it is you like. “Like trying to get involved with a lot of school activities. They offer a ton of really cool stuff like woodworking classes and the jazz band and choir. So try and get involved with things that seem interesting to you, and that will help you find maybe what you want to do further on in life for your job.”

■ FOREVER YOUNG Clockwise, from above: Michaela Demeo, Amelia Mann, Kennedy Ledingham and Milena McNiff Restan opened the ceremony with O Canada. Trevor Baynton kicked off the presentation of grads. There were plenty of hugs Wednesday night. Emma Bruschetta was all smiles. Morgan Schafer receives his diploma.

Valedictorian Emma Jaquier Emma Jaquier has been at Mark Isfeld Secondary just two years but is nevertheless one of two valedictorians for Isfeld’s graduating class of 2015.

Born in Switzerland, she had an opportunity to travel at a young age, largely in Europe, particularly in her home country as well as France.

“Combined, we’ve probably seen most of the world,” she said about herself and fellow valedictorian Adrian Humphry.

“I’m not athletic in any way, but I’m in choir, and I just joined when I moved here, so that was pretty cool.”

She has also been active in the school’s life

skills program which assists students in all grades.

“That’s where I spend the majority of my time,” said Emma, who has her sights set on nursing sometime down the road.

“But I want to hopefully combine nursing with special education in some way.”

After graduating, Emma plans to spend a year in Switzerland.

“I got a job there working in a school for children who are special needs, ages four and five,” she said.

As she prepares for life beyond secondary school, Emma stresses the importance of involving oneself with activities of interest.
