NDP Finance Critic Nathan Cullen says there is an openness from the business community towards his party “unlike anything I’ve seen before” — both at a local and national level.

The Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP met Thursday with the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce to discuss how to boost the local economy.

“From bank presidents to local chambers of commerce, there’s a willingness to work with us, I think in part because we’re listening and we have something to say about business. We have moderated some of our policies to understand the business perspective, and I think it’s getting a lot of doors opened.”

That said, Cullen notes an “opportunity gap” across the country where the next generation has fewer choices and opportunities.

“Schooling has become very expensive and jobs have become very scarce. That’s a huge concern for us,” said Cullen, who was a small business person before entering politics.

He says small businesses create eight out of 10 new jobs in Canada but have received virtually no attention from the federal Conservatives. On the other hand, he notes some of the largest, most profitable businesses — namely banks and oil companies — have received something in the order of $650 billion in tax cuts in the last decade.

“Seems a misbalance of priorities,” Cullen said. “It’s called ergonomics. It didn’t work in the ‘80s and nothing changed since then. That’s why we’re likely in a recession right now.”

Cullen says a number of programs being offered by the NDP in the next election speak directly to the small business sector, small communities and to the value added question.

From visiting chambers around the Island, he says the burning question is similar to that

S er v

■ Scott Stanfield

in the northern stretches of the province: How do we get more value added?

“Ninety-seven per cent of all raw log exports in Canada come out of British Columbia right now. We’ve lost over 600 mills since the turn of the century. We’ve lost tens of thousands of forestry jobs.”

The NDP has suggested a few things. One is senate reform, which the party says could save $100 million a year. Another is $15-per-day affordable child care.

“It’s as much economic as it is a social policy,” Cullen said. “It helps small businesses, it helps women get back to work who want to.

“We will lower the small business tax rate 25 per cent, which is the biggest tax cut for small businesses in a generation. As well as help for manufacturing and value added — so do more with our natural resources before we trade them in.”

Regarding coal mines, Cullen says what’s needed is “good public voice in any decision” and a science review of the impacts. The other main piece of any resource development is a sound understanding of rights and title, he added.

IN BRIEF Emcon to the rescue

A trio of Emcon employees rescued a family of birds last week while working on a culvert on the Old Island Highway near Union Bay. Nearby resident Susan Gurney said a nest had fallen out of a tree and was sitting next to a creek.

One of the employees created a makeshift nest with a toque he was wearing. The workers then placed the baby birds inside their new home.

Gurney said mama bird has been flying back and forth feeding her babies in the toque.

“It’s unbelievable what they’ve done for this bird’s nest,” said Gurney, who thinks the birds are sparrows. “They were so concerned. They took pieces from another bush so they could lie in it.”

Canada Revenue scam ongoing

■ Sisterly walk

On Monday morning, members of the K’omoks First Nation, volunteers and committee members participated in a ceremony prior to set up of the Walking With Our Sisters project commemorating the lives of missing and murdered indigenous women of Canada and the United States. To date, the K’omoks Band Hall is the only location in the province Photo by Erin Haluschak to host the project. The exhibit is open from July 31 to Aug. 15.

Bell-ringing ceremony to commemorate missing women On Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m., a special bell-ringing ceremony will be held on the front grounds of St. George’s United Church at 505 sixth St. in Courtenay.

The church bell will ring to commemorate the indigenous women and girls in Canada that have been reported missing or have been murdered in the last 30 years.

Over 10 days, the bell will ring 1,181 times – once for each woman.

This Saturday the bell will be rung 119 times and will be accompanied by a group of First Nations singers and drummers in traditional regalia who will sing The Women’s Warrior Song – a widely used song that celebrates women.

The ringing is set to coincide with the beginning of Walking With Our Sisters, a memorial art exhibition to honour the lives of these women, and to acknowledge ongoing grief suffered by their families and the indigenous

community. It is hoped that this event will raise awareness about the memorial and the missing and murdered women, as well as the plight of indigenous peoples in Canada.

“It is absolutely necessary to raise awareness about the event and the missing and murdered women,” said Rev. Ryan Slifka, minister at St. George’s, who will be one of the hosts at the event. “But is also an opportunity for us to host an event that also sheds light on the issues that indigenous people continue to face in our country.”

The United Church of Canada, to which St. George’s belongs, was one of the Christian denominations charged with running residential schools on behalf of the Canadian government as part of its strategy of cultural assimilation.

“The scars run deep,” he said, noting that the missing and murdered women and residential schools are

part of a larger web of interconnected issues.

“In many ways, we confused spreading our culture and its values with the Christian faith and what it means to follow Jesus Christ. This is an opportunity for us to repent from our past complicity while working towards a common future of reconciliation.”

Kristy Bell, one of Walking With Our Sisters organizers and event hosts, says that “in unity with St. George’s we are not only raising awareness of the systemic traumas First Nations peoples have endured, but also we will set the foundation for healing within our own community by honoring our missing and murdered indigenous women.”

The Walking With Our Sisters memorial will be at the K’omoks Band Hall from July 31-Aug. 15 in what is thus far its only British Columbia appearance.

The Comox Valley RCMP is warning of a scam that is occurring in the Comox Valley at this time.

This scam started occurring approximately two months ago and police have received hundreds of calls from concerned citizens worried that the police are coming to arrest them.

The callers identify themselves as agents for the Canada Revenue Agency and they advise the victim that they are in arrears and owe tax money. They go on to tell them that if they don’t pay up the police will be coming to arrest them. People can rest assured that this is not the process that the Canada Revenue Agency or police operate under. If the Canada Revenue Agency wants to contact you they will generally send a letter through secure mail.

If you do receive one of these calls let the caller know that you will check into this matter with the Canada Revenue Agency. You can also contact the Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888495-8501.

Editorial

Don’t fall victim to seasonal carelessness

I

t’s so easy to become inattentive in summer.

Blazing sun and hot temperatures seem guaranteed to put the more vigilant parts of our brains on hold.

Whether we’re just befuddled trying to beat the heat – or eager to get out and be part of the many fun activities that warm weather offers, particularly in our seaside community – distraction is at an all-time high this time of year.

Unfortunately, as recent crime statistics show, there are those who are more than ready to take full advantage of any lapse of attention on our part.

Statistically, property crime usually takes an upturn in summer.

Is there any wonder at it?

The natural impetus is to leave home windows open to catch any breeze, and as we stroll in and out, we are likely to be less attentive to locking doors, or even closing them – an open invitation to an uninvited visitor who won’t hesitate in taking an inventory of our personal belongings, and making off with the most portable of them.

While loading vehicles, we’ll often leave costly cameras and sports equipment sitting outside, a crime of opportunity just waiting to happen.

And once we get in those vehicles – and get out again at our destination – are we really sure that we locked all of the doors and closed all of the windows? Did we lock valuables out of sight in the trunk – or did we leave them in plain view?

Insp. Peter Jadis, officer in charge of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team, notes that car thefts leapt 29 per cent across B.C. last year. He warns that it’s not just carelessly displayed items or the vehicles themselves that criminals are after – a garage door-opener and an address from insurance documents could be the key to a much higher payoff for a criminal, but one that poses a greater potential risk to ourselves and our families.

Our vigilance must also extend to our families – children, caught up in the excitement of the moment, are not likely to pay close attention to closing or locking doors after them.

In this day and age, any one of us could be responsible for a lapse that could mar our summer – and end up having to pay a hefty price in property loss and insurance hassles.

POLITICS

One of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items.

Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system.

The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world.

Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people.

The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by Europe-

land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100.

The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.

Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment

by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills.

The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.”

B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class.

an and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.

The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.

It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on.

Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.

Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private

Chinatown feature brings back fond memories

Dear editor, Re: Remembering Cumberland’s Chinatown, Comox Valley Record, July 16.

What a story! It was like I stuck a metal fork into a wall plug! It brought back so many flashbacks. I was born and raised in Cumberland and have so many fond memories of the Chinese community that thrived there.

My grandfather, Bobby Brown, (later an alderman) owned a company that supplied timber to the many coal mines that were operating in the late ‘30s and ‘40s. Most of his employees were Chinese, and he had a great relationship with them. I can still vaguely remember my grandfather taking me with him to Chinatown when Chinese New Year was being celebrated. I remember being offered those huge oranges which were unique to westerners in those days.

We were always welcome in their community and I remember just how friendly and generous they were to both my grandfather and the little boy that was with him.

My father, Jimmy Brown, became first a brakeman and then an engineer on the Canadian Colleries coal trains that ran from the mines to the loading dock at Union Bay. His certification documents hang on my den wall to this day.

When he was an engineer, both his brakeman and fireman were Chinese, and often came to visit our home giving my mother advice on her vegetable garden.

I also remember at one time being

lifted into the cab of the locomotive by his fireman, nicknamed “Chicken”, (I have no idea why), to what I thought was to drive the train. Years later, my dad confessed that all I did was put on the brakes.

I had the privilege of knowing both Norman and Johnny Leung. My aunt and uncle, Johnny and Elsie Marocchi, ran a grocery store in direct competition with Leung’s Grocery in Cumberland. After their retirement their son Ray took over the business and I was the grocery delivery boy.

Both of the Leung boys were friends of the Marocchi family and often, when an item was out of stock, they would help each other out to meet their customers needs. I always cherished the relationship these two families had.

I’ve moved on with my life, as everyone has. I now live in rural Alberta, and I’m pushing 72. Even though life has taken me far from home, my roots are firmly set in Cumberland.

The memories I have of the interaction between my family and those of the Chinese community will always be a part of me, and I’m proud of it!

Fletcher’s punches nothing more than misdirected jabs

Dear editor, Re” Tom Fletcher’s Nestle protest doesn’t hold water (Comox Valley Record, July 21 2015).

Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth

petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.

As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation.

We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about – primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented.

The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century.

Perhaps Mr. Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater!

Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge.

Filberg Festival is now a four-day event ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Over the years, the Filberg Festival in Comox has established a reputation for excellence in arts, crafts and music. It has become one of western Canada’s largest juried outdoor art shows, combined with a music festival featuring some of the country’s finest.

It is also a fundraiser to maintain the picturesque Filberg estate – once a private home belonging to RJ (Bob) Filberg and his wife Florence, who built the lodge in 1929. Bob, who served as president of the Comox Logging and Railway Company, incorporated his love of trees and woods into the architecture and landscaping of the property that overlooks the Comox Harbour and the Beaufort Mountain Range.

This year marks the 33rd instalment of the festival,

Forbidden Brewing owners Nicholas Williams, Michael Vincent and Aaron Bible.

Third brewery opens doors Forbidden Brewing Co, the third micro brewery in the Comox Valley, has opened its doors. Forbidden Brewing is the smallest of the three brewery's in the area.

It all began when CEO Michael Vincent found a U-Brew that was going out of business in Victoria. Vincent dismantled and packed the contents of the U-Brew into a five-tonne truck and drove to his home in Courtenay. The equipment was transferred into a SeaCan container on his property and there it sat while he considered his options. Long-time friend Aaron Bible was interested in the project. Vincent and Bible worked together opening the Saltwater Waldorf School in Tintown, where both their children attend school.

They formed a partnership and began looking for a location for the brewery.

Vincent had a strong relationship with the general manager of the Westerly Hotel, Anna Martin, so he approached her about a vacant space in the hotel.

After striking up a lease, Vincent began the long road of building the lounge area and installing the brewing equipment.

"It has been a real challenge to do this within our budget.

This has been my full-time job for the past year but without the paycheque," joked Vincent.

Along the way, Vincent and Bible saw a need for additional skills in their business. Nicholas Williams, an avid home brewer, joined the business, along with Vincent's wife, Natasha Richardson. Williams began working on recipes and testing brews in his basement and Richardson, who holds a masters in tourism and runs a five-star resort hotel in Victoria, began working on the finan-

cials and marketing plans for the brewery. Finally, Sarah Neufeld, a member of the Grammy Award winning band, Arcade Fire, who grew up in the Comox Valley, also joined the team.

Forbidden Brewing is the known underdog in the Comox Valley brewing scene, brewing on a nanosized system.

"We are really proud of the quality of the beer we are producing," says Bible.

"Nicholas has really stepped up to the challenge and created a great Pale Ale." For now, the brew-

ery is serving by the glass beer in their lounge due to their limited production capacity.

They have also added a small food menu.

Growler sales will be added in the near future after they build their inventory and get a better idea of their sales volumes.

It is open Fridays from 4-10 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.

RYT offering intro to film careers workshop Ever wonder what goes into a film audition? Or how to make a script go from page to screen?

Want an inside look on how scenes are filmed and characters are created? Or maybe you just want to see what it’s like in front of the camera? Rainbow Youth Theatre’s “Intro to Film and TV Careers” workshop with Ally-

son Leet, a University of Victoria Theatre Program and Vancouver Film School graduate, will answer all these questions plus much more. Come and join in on the fun for a little sneak peek at how all the actors prepare for their big screen moments!

In this workshop we will be covering camera technique for actors, terminology,

character building and of course some film/TV/commercial audition material.

Participants will get the chance to film improvisations, short scenes and commercials to be reviewed and talked about within the workshop.

Over the two days the actors will know and understand the basics of a film audition, lingo of the business

Island Voices getting an early jump on Remembrance Day concert prep ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

They’re getting the word out early, in hopes of hosting a fall concert to honour the sacrifices made and hope for peace in the future.

Every few years since 2006, Island Voices Chamber Choir produces a Remembrance Day concert, combining poetry and music, explained Jo-Anne Preston, producer for the choir.

“It’s usually music and a reading. It’s always been a really hard program to create because we want to balance the dark with the hope, and we realize Remembrance Day means something different for all people.”

Preston said this year, she hopes to gather material from those who have personally experienced the sacrifices of the military - from those serving, to spouses, family,

friends or from a child who has a parent serving in the military.

“Depending upon the response, we might make it into a display, a website or a Powerpoint presentation,” she said, and added she wants to put an emphasis on making the concert local and personal.

“We’ve got huge historical breadth (in the Comox Valley) and we’re looking for any sort of text letters, journals, poems. We could also incorporate pictures; we’re very open.”

The text could be from past wars to peace-keeping missions, from personnel serving abroad or from loved ones left a home, she added.

While there will be between six to eight readings at each performance in both Campbell River and the Comox Valley, Preston explained they will do what they can to recognize all contributors through displays on their website.

For more information, phone Preston at 250-202-4300 or email jo-anne.preston@shaw.ca.

SPORTS Levins fifth in Pan-Am 5,000m race ■ Earle Couper coup @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Cam Levins finished fifth at PanAm Games 5,000 metre race.

A fifth place finish in the 5,000 metres was not the result Cam Levins was looking for when he headed to Toronto to the 2015 Pan American Games.

On Saturday, the twotime Olympian from Black Creek got off to a good start and was second for most of the final three laps before falling back into the middle of the pack.

“I didn’t go very well,” Levins told a reporter. “I have to go back to the draw-

ing board. I didn’t feel that sharp.”

Defending champion Juan Luis Barrios of Mexico won the event in 13:46.47 while Levins clocked in at 13:48.03. The Games wrapped up Sunday.

Levins won’t have much time to go back to the drawing board before returning to the track. He is on the Canadian track and field team that is off to the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China from Aug. 22-30.

“The World Championships are the last major measuring stick as we prepare for the 2016 Olympic Games,” said Peter Eriksson, Head Coach and Chief Technical Officer. “Our team objectives are clear; improve

on our country ranking and the number of medals, top eight, top 12 and top 16 finishes. Individually we are looking for athletes to place higher than their ranking entering the event.”

Competition takes place in the Birds Nest, site of the 2008 Olympic Games.

On his Facebook page, it notes Levins will enter both the 5,000 and 10,000 at the Worlds, with the 10,000 metres on opening day Aug. 22 and the 5,000 metre heats on Aug. 26, with the final Aug. 29.

FINISH LINES Levins is the current Canadian 10,000 record holder ... he won a bronze medal in the 10,000 metres at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games ...

Cards hosting Bantam A B.C. championships Bantam baseball at its best is coming to the Comox Valley on the August long weekend.

From July 31 to Aug. 3, the Comox Valley Baseball Association is hosting the 10-team 2015 Bantam A Provincials at Bill Moore Memorial Park in Courtenay.

The host Comox Valley Cardinals will welcome nine teams from throughout B.C. and organizers are inviting the Comox Valley to come out and show their support of these U15 aged athletes.

“It promises to be an exciting weekend of great baseball and friendly rivalry,” said Hina Smit, Provincial Championship Coordinator.

“We invite our community to attend all our games as well as our opening ceremonies on Friday, July 31 at 6 p.m.”

Following the opening ceremonies, there will be a skills competition, with four events for the players to participate in.

Games will start at 9, 12 and 3 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

An additional evening game will be held Saturday at 6 p.m. Semifinals and finals will be held Monday, Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The list of out-oftown teams was not

available at press time. Watch Thursday’s Record sports for a schedule of games.

“We welcome everyone to please come out and cheer on our players. For anyone who is interested in help-

ing out our Provincial committee, they are looking for volunteers to scorekeep and to help prepare the fields for the games,” Smit said.

Anyone wishing to volunteer can contact Smit at 250-334-7570

or email her at hina@ oshunhouse.com.

Smit added the CVBA thanks all their sponsors and volunteers for their years of support and service.

CVBA president Shannon Gaboury notes the City of Courtenay has been busy sprucing up Bill Moore park for the event and plans are in for place for the CVBA to host a firstclass tournament.

Plaque Moved Gaboury also notes the City has relocated the Tyler Phillips memorial plaque to one of the big pine trees in Bill Moore park, rather than

replace the young trees that have been vandalized several times over the past years.

PETS REMEMBERED

PETS REMEMBERED

ln Memory of Mokah It is with heavy hearts and an empty feeling as we share that we said so long to our beloved Mokah on July 13th.

He took his last breath in the arms of his “Moms� and we all are comforted knowing that he was not alone as he exited our earth.

His last days were spent on the farm, going for small walks, going crazy when all our friends would visit and most recently he enjoyed the attention of our newest human addition‌ Lil EJ, whom will miss his presence in our home.

Mokah spend shy of 12 years blessing our family with never ending, steadfast and unconditional love. Our daughter’s faces the ďŹ rst day they met Mokah will never be forgotten‌ Pure Pure JOY when their father and I presented him to them.

A special thanks to his caregiver, Dr. Chris Cannon for encouraging us to enjoy the time we had left with him (we intentionally did just so). Grateful thanks to Shanelle who exuded insurmountable perception and precious gentleness in her role as events unfolded. Thanks to our Crazy Dog Lady friend Jen and to Nicki for joining us for those last precious memories and to our beloved friends for preparing the plot in such a rightful, beautiful resting place and all of you who knew and loved Mokah the same way we did.

AKA Mochacchino, Mokie and “Moms Pup‌we will forever cherish who you are to us. Until we meet again‌ rest easy, roam free and say hi to all the Furry Friends who left before you.

Love always Your Girls.

In the winners circle in the Husband and Wife division were Pat Riva (second from left) and Nancy Riva (right). They are congratulated by Jesse Moussa and Phyllis PHOTO submitted Taylor.

Al Defoe scores ace

Thirty couples competed in the Comox Golf Club’s annual Mr. and Mrs. Golf Tournament on July 18 in amazing weather.

To top it off, Al Dafoe scored a hole in one on #18. Along with his wife, our current club champion and current zone champion Jan, they scored net 67.6 in the Odds and Ends.

(There are two divisions: the Husband and Wife for members and the Odds and Ends. It is a net competition).

The winners for a second time were Pat and Nancy Riva with a gross score of 75, net 63. Some extremely interesting shots were performed, as can happen in an alternate shot (modified scotch ball) competition.

Rick Curiston and Mary Buchanan grabbed second with 65.2. Ian and Sue Leakey 69.6, Gord and Patti Harris 70, Stu and Lorelei Banford 71 and Wayne and Linda Callender finished with 74.8.

The most honest couple went to Suds and Bernice Sutherland at the ages of 90.

The Odds and Ends results had Jim and Sharon Prince with 63.4 in first place. Art Karpus and Nancy Newton 66, Jim Eremko and Doris Ellis 66.2, Marty Petersen and Sandi Tufnail 67.2, Al and Jan Dafoe 67.6 and Russ Rodriguez and Carmen DeWinter with 68.8. The most honest couple were Gord Aikman and Colleen Howarth.

Closest to the holes were: Wayne Callender #5, #18 of course of Al Dafoe with his hole in one, Sandi Tufnail #9 and Gi Carlson on #14. Westview Ford sponsored the longest putt made by the team of Marty Petersen and Sandi Tufnail and for the closest to the bucket, which was won by Gerry Dempsey.

Thanks to Phyllis Taylor and Lorelei Banford for organizing the event; apparently the couple who wins must run it next year.

The expression “Living on the edge” took on new meaning for a pair of local golfers recently.

“How’s this for a long shot?” asks Glenn Parker of Comox in an email to the Record sports department.

“My golf partners, Don Sukla, Jack Hensky, and I were playing nine holes at the Comox Golf Club last week.

On the third hole, Jack’s putt sat on the edge of the hole for a few seconds and then fell in, reminiscent of Tiger Woods’ memorable putt at the Masters several years ago.

“On the fourth hole, my ball came out of the bunker and landed about eight feet from the hole. I putted and my ball hung on the edge for about three seconds before it fell.

“Two edgers in two holes! Now that’s something you don’t see every day. Maybe even a little rarer than a hole in one, wouldn’t you say? Ah, the wonders of golf,” Parker mused.
