The August speakers at the Comox Valley Horticultural Society will be Mervillites Jim Webb and Summer Joy. Last September these avid gardeners went back for a visit to England, where they’d been living until moving here in 2010, and amongst the various garden adventures they indulged in, they attended the Royal Horticultural Society’s Malvern Autumn Show.

There are a number of huge RHS show events, all with long histories, held throughout the year in England, with the best known probably being the Chelsea Flower Show.

One part of the slideshow presentation will feature the amazing giant vegetables competition.

If you have an interest in knowing more about what goes on in the gardening world in England, come join us for A Day at the RHS Malvern Autumn Show, on Aug. 17 at the Florence Filberg Centre, at 7 p.m. Hort Club members are free, guests $5 admission.

Federal election officially announced Jeff Nagel Black Press

Federal election lawn signs have begun to sprout now that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has fired the starting pistol on what will be a 78-day campaign, the longest in modern history.

The prime minister visited Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall Sunday morning to dissolve Parliament and begin the election set for Oct. 19.

The voting day had been fixed in legislation and party leaders had been in campaign mode for weeks, but dropping the writ this far ahead means spending limits will be in force for much longer than the typical 36 days.

That will give a financial advantage to Harper and the Conservatives, according to SFU political scientist Patrick Smith.

■ Thursday, August 6, 2015 ■ 3

“They certainly have the largest war chest,” Smith said. “Money matters in politics.”

He predicts the Tories will far outspend their rivals and might be in a position to blitz advertising channels late in the campaign when NDP and Liberal coffers may be nearly exhausted.

A campaign more than twice the usual length means a spending limit twice as high – more than $50 million per party – that only the Tories have a realistic shot at fully exploiting.

“They have more money than the other parties so they can withstand a longer race.”

A long, financial war of attrition on the hustings could have ramifications beyond who actually wins the election.

Smith currently predicts a Conservative minority. In that scenario, he says, a

226-5th Street, Courtenay | 250-703-9516 | www.kradles.ca A house in Cumberland suffered extensive damage when a fire broke out Thursday evening. The residents of the PHOTO COURTESY CUMBERLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT home were away at the time of the fire.

House fire near Cumberland ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

A major house fire broke out Thursday, July 30 around 7:40 p.m. near Cumberland at 3704 Minto, on the Royston side of the road.

Firefighters were confronted with a couple of concerns: the proximity of about 20 acres of forest behind the house, and a lack of fire hydrants in the area.

“We had a bit of a forest exposure to deal with,” Cumberland Fire Chief Mike Williamson said. “The other issue we had was it’s 1,600 feet from our hydrant. Our trucks only pack 1,000 feet of hose, so we had to do what we call a ‘relay pump.’ One truck drops its line, and then other trucks next to the hydrant lays lines.

It’s much better than working off a tanker.”

The residents of the house were not home at the time of the blaze, which was spotted by a passing motorist.

Earlier in the day, neighbours had smelled smoke but

they could not see or find anything. Several hours later, a man was knocking at their door informing them of the fire. The neighbours then called the fire department.

“The fire started outside the house,” Williamson said. “It burned up the wall and into the roof. The entire attic space was on fire.”

The inside of the house was mostly intact, but the roof was not stable enough to hold crew members.

Most of the owners’ contents were not damaged.

The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.

White Spot’s Pirate Pak Day returns August 12 Fundraiser provides summer camp experience for kids in need Ahoy! On Wednesday, Aug. 12, buccaneers both young and young-at-heart can re-live childhood memories by ordering an Adult Pirate Pak at White Spot restaurants throughout B.C. and four locations in Alberta.

For the sixth consecutive year, a toonie from the sale of every Pirate Pak will be donated to Zajac Ranch for Children, a local charity that provides kids and young

adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a unique summer camp experience.

Pirate Pak Day has become an anticipated annual tradition that has raised a total of $347,172 since its inception, and sent more than 100 hearties to camp.

White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch runs from Aug. 17-21 and includes activities ranging from kayaking and climbing to swimming and horseback riding.

“Pirate Pak Day is a big event for us, one that both our staff and guests look forward to every year,” said White Spot president

Warren Erhart. “Money raised on this special day helps young mateys facing difficult challenges, and wouldn’t be possible without the participation of our valued guests.

“We’ll be dressed up in our best swashbuckling outfits, so come join the merriment.”

“White Spot has become integral in our ability to enrich the lives of kids who need support,” said Mel Zajac, founder of Zajac Ranch for Children. “Community initiatives like Pirate Pak Day help us offer illness-specific camps that put smiles on the faces of these kids. For instance,

many of our campers get to ride a horse for the first time in their life.”

On Aug. 12 only, Adult Pirate Paks are available for both dine-in and take-out, in four options: • Legendary Burger – a classic!

• BC Chicken Burger • Bacon Cheddar Bigger Burger • Portobello Provolone Veggie Burger Each option comes in the nostalgic Pirate Pak boat, with a bounty of fresh-cut ‘endless’ fries, creamy coleslaw, soft drink, premium rich ice cream and of course, the treasured chocolate ‘gold’ coin.

Unpaid caregivers: More common than you’d think ■ Wendy Johnstone SANDWICH GENERATION

Unpaid caregivers, which are typically family but also include friends and neighbours, remain an invisible pillar in the B.C. healthcare system and yet make up over 25 per cent of our population.

Canadian statistics on caregiving paint a very clear picture —it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when you will become a caregiver.

If you are 45 years and older and a woman, it is almost a complete guarantee that you are caring for an aging parent or spouse. Don’t worry men, we won’t let you feel left out; 77 per cent of male caregivers aged 45-64 are employed with almost 93 per cent working more than 30 hours per week.

Caregiving can be very rewarding; however it can also be exhausting and emotionally and physically demanding. Over 60 per cent of caregivers have been caring for over three years, especially if it is a chronic disease.

When I ask caregivers what helps them most with their role, many listed three items:

Speech reading course coming in September Speech reading (also known as lip reading) is understanding a spoken message utilizing your skills of observation to interpret facial expressions, gestures and body language.

If you find it increasingly hard to understand what others are saying, this is the chance to ‘hone in on’ and ‘upgrade’ those skills that will assist you most in communicating effectively with others.

The Comox Valley Hard of Hearing Support Group is offering a speech reading class in September, with instruction from Linda Scarlett-Hauck of Salt Spring Island.

Scarlett-Hauck is an adult educator, experienced in working with those who are deaf or hard of hearing of all ages. She structures and paces her classes to accommodate the needs of the individuals in the group.

Classes will be held on the two consecutive weekends: Sept. 11-13 and Sept. 18-20 at the Nursing Centre in Courtenay.

As classes are kept small to ensure that each person can benefit most from the opportunities offered, you need to register quickly to avoid disappointment. Don’t be discouraged if you learn your name has had to go on a wait list.

Cancellations can occur - with names possibly moving up on the list until the registration period ends on Aug. 15.

Application forms and more information available from Glenda Gentleman by e- mail: sheltiewink@shaw.ca or contact Mary McLennan by phone: 250-339 4706.

Good information: The more you can find out about the person’s illness or disease, the better you can care. The more you can find out about what to expect over time, the more informed decisions your family can make for future planning. The more you understand what your role is as a caregiver, the better you can provide the right type of support at the right time.

Good support: Whether it’s a run with a good friend to vent or a caregiver support session, caregivers who feel supported are able to better carers. Don’t expect others to know what type of support or help you need; it’s up to you to take the initiative and ask for the support you need.

Good team players: Your team will include other family members

and sibling, neighbours, close friends, community care providers, to name a few. Be clear in advance on what type of care and help is needed and assign everyone tasks best suited to their skills, availability and wiliness.

I am currently working with the Family Caregivers of British Columbia and I encourage family caregivers to take advantage of available programs and support offered through the Provincial Caregiver Program including: • A resource centre for family caregivers: A family caregiver anywhere in B.C. can find one-on-one support for a variety of issues including emotional support, help navigating the system and referrals via a toll-free line, Skype or email. Simply call the Caregiver Support Line at 1-877-520-

3267 and chances are you’ll be forwarded to me to take your call.

• Education for family caregivers: Education is an important part of the program, focusing on both family caregivers and health professionals.

Webinar (or phone-only) sessions focus on practical solutions to the many issues that caregivers face.

Health professionals will be able to learn more about these issues and gain ideas for including and supporting family caregivers in their work.

You can find a wealth of information and information as well as upcoming dates for webinars at familycaregiversbc.ca

Free walk at Helen McKenzie Lake

Comox Valley Nature is offering a free interpretive light hike to Helen McKenzie Lake in Strathcona Park.

This is an opportunity to learn about sub-alpine ecology, and gain an appreciation of the problems it will face in the future as it adjusts to what climatologists and politicians alike now acknowledge is the “new normal.”

This walk will be led by Dr. Loys Maingon (RPBio), president of Comox Valley Nature.

The nine-kilometre walk is scheduled for this Saturday, Aug. 8 from 9 a.m. - noon. Participants should wear sturdy footwear and bring drinking water. Meet at parking lot at the bottom of Strathcona Parkway (just off the Inland Highway) at 8:30 a.m., and at trailhead at the Strathcona Wilderness Institute (next to the Raven Lodge) at the entrance to Paradise Meadows.

Editorial

Let the campaigning... continue

I

f people were paying even the slightest bit of attention to the news over the last week or so the early election call on Sunday wasn’t a surprise.

In our last edition of the Record we had a story about numerous federal funding announcements, including a $30 million infrastructure boost to CFB Comox.

We’d hazard a guess that most community papers had similar stories.

We certainly got ample emails with times and places for such campaign stops. Because let’s face it, that’s what they were.

It was a veritable flood of attempts to buy your vote. MP John Duncan was the busiest guy on the Island last week.

(And we’ve never loved that particular political manoeuvre: the ruling party always has someone from their own party announce when a community gets money from the Government of Canada or the Province of B.C., even when that representative is from well outside of the constituency. The current federal and provincial governments certainly didn’t invent the practice, but it’s one we’ve never liked. But we digress).

Stephen Harper said he called the official campaign early because campaigning was already underway. He’s right. We’ve had a number of campaign-style stops in recent months from the NDP’s Tom Mulcair, for instance and from the Green Party’s Elizabeth May, in support to their parties’ local candidates.

The Conservatives themselves have indisputably been campaigning with things like their child tax benefit cheques along with last week’s largesse.

It’s a problem in Canada, and we see it even more pronounced in the U.S., that more and more of our government representatives’ time and money is spent on running for office rather than serving in office.

That’s why we hope that the long campaign we are now embarking on will turn out to be an anomaly and not the new normal.

It’s an exhausting marathon that makes it even harder than it already is for the average person to consider running for office.

And none of us want to have to sit through the inevitable attack ads — which have already been running for months — any longer than we have to.

At least on the local level we hope they keep respectful and informative.

Above, many of the moccasin tops are personalized. Below; a paper bag for tissues. The tissues collected will be burned in a cultural ceremony.

PHOTOS BY TERRY FARRELL

WWOS: A moving experience ■ Terry Farrell COMMEN-TERRY

When I first entered the Walking With Our Sisters exhibit, my thoughts were on the assignment.

I was there as a photojournalist.

My job was to get one or two meaningful shots. I had my mind on the lighting, the composition, the shutter speed and the depth of field.

I had walked approximately 12 feet when I saw the first pair of moccasin tops that were dedicated to a specific person.

Then it struck me: reality. This is not a simple art show. This is a commemorative display. This is history. Two more steps, two more pairs of dedicated moccasin tops. Two more faces: two more North American females whose lives were cut short. In all, 1,800 pairs of moccasin tops, each pair representing a missing or murdered Canadian or American indigenous woman. As a Caucasian male, I entered the exhibit with full belief that my six degrees of separation would keep emotions at bay. I was wrong. By the time I reached the first paper bag with the words “for tears” written on the outside of it, I understood why there were boxes of tissues at the entrance - and was dismayed

for not having taken advantage of the offering. The tissues deposited into the bags will be collected throughout the exhibit, to be burned in a cultural cleansing ceremony at the Tsow Tun Le Lum healing centre in Nanoose.

A volunteer walks by.

She is beating a drum rhythmically, singing what must be a spiritual song – some sort of prayer - weeping gently as she looks down. She is walking with her sisters.

Upon my completion of the tour, I found myself looking for the guest book I signed on the way in. Like many guest books, there is a comment space after your name and hometown.

I could only think of one thing to say.

When I approached one of the organizers to discuss protocol surrounding the photos I had taken, she asked if I wanted to be “brushed down.” Another volunteer standing there said “you don’t know what to say do you?” I didn’t understand the meaning of the brushing down. But I did know what I wanted to say. I wanted to say “I’m sorry.” Walking With Our Sisters is much more than an art installation.

For some it is closure. For some it is recognition. For most, it is about honouring women, girls, even babies, who have been taken from their families far too soon.

Not everyone will get the same sensations I experienced. But it is an exhibit that must be seen; must be experienced. It is part of our history – a shameful part of our history. And when we talk about reconciliation, opening the books on the murdered and missing First Nations women in Canada must be a part of that reconciliation. The Walking With Our Sisters commemorative art installation for the missing and murdered indigenous women of Canada and the USA will be at the K’omoks Band Hall until Aug. 15. It has been touring Canada and the United States for more than two years already and is booked until 2018. The local stop is the only B.C. stop to date, and the only one scheduled for our province.

Admission is by donation.

The $30 million given to the base is a facade

Dear editor, In spite of the government’s handing out $30 million for repairs to 19 Wing Comox, this election could be fought solely on how we treat vets.

Two issues stand out for me - they are the rewriting of government’s relationship to veterans and the slashing of funding for Veterans Affairs.

By the end of January of this year, the Harper government had spent $700,000 fighting a group of B.C. veterans in court. They had all been wounded in Afghanistan and they wanted the government to restore a program of lifelong disability payments for the injured. The government was arguing that Ottawa has no special obligation to those who’ve fought wars on behalf of Canada, a principle in place here since the First World War. That principle, the veterans argued, is a social contract between the country and its military personnel, who are called upon to lay down their lives without question.

Then there’s the funding cuts. The Harper government has closed eight Veterans Affairs across the country. They cost one-seventh of one per cent of the department’s budget.

Then a six-year $200 million program for mental health services was announced. That turned out to be a bare-faced lie: the program was over 50 years and the government knew it. If cuts to Veterans Affairs continue as the Conservative government has planned, by 2016, staffing will have been cut by 25 per cent. Over their nine years in power, they have failed to spend $1.3 billion allocated for veterans’ benefits. Happily, though, they did have $9 million to spend on ads boasting about how well vets

are being treated. That’s almost a third of the amount being spent on 19 Wing. It’s pretty easy to conclude that the $30 million is coming from veterans themselves.

No, this $30 million is the Conservative Party of Canada spending our money on their campaign instead of on vets.

Terry Robinson Courtenay

Don’t spend my hard-earned money on a train

Dear editor, Re: July 30 editorial Trains no closer to reality.

The old E & N right-of-way runs close to my backyard down by Mud Bay. It is a great trail to hike along.

Occasionally I’ll meet up with other hikers and if a conversation starts it will invariably lead to the question: will trains ever run on this track again? The answers are “maybe yes, maybe no, but I don’t want my taxes to pay for it.”

If the suspended passenger rail service was so vital, why wasn’t intra-regional bus service established for the benefit of all those people stranded between Victoria and Courtenay?

Judging by the truck traffic on Highway 19 and even the Island Highway, it appears truckers are filling the void left by the suspension of rail freight service.

I conclude from the editorial that the money for the right-of-way upgrade is there but it’s not burning a hole in anyone’s pocket, which implies there is a lack of enthusiasm among government officials for making a $20.4 million expenditure on a project the region is managing to do well enough without.

Right-of-ways are valuable pieces of

property. They should never be abandoned, but they don’t have to exist for their original intended purpose dating back to the 19th century.

Peter Whyte, Fanny Bay

Reader takes issue with Filberg article inaccuracies

Dear editor, In your article, published in the Comox Valley Record, 28 July 2015, the headline read Filberg festival now a four-day event.

In its 33-year run (of which I have attended 25 previous festivals), it has always been a four-day festival, beginning Friday morning, and ending Monday late afternoon.

Despite the current producers’ assertion, the music we have enjoyed here has covered many genres.

Often we have been delighted with award-winning international jazz, blues, and classicist musicians. The folk musicians have been of awesome calibre, and drawn terrific crowds.

This was not the case last year, and we were always able to find a chair, due to repeat performances, and gaps in musical programming.

Change is not necessarily bad: we have continued our attendance and enjoyment of the Filberg Festival, even as it has broadened its artist base (it started as a celebration of the incredible wealth of artistic talent in the Valley).

As the current producers are neither local, nor familiar with the long history of the Filberg, they perhaps can be forgiven for making their false claims, but please do not publish this in the local Valley paper.

Hannah’s journey anything but normal ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Hannah Harris spent the first 507 days of her life in hospital.

The Comox Valley toddler weighed one pound, seven ounces when she was born on April 16, 2011. Her twin sister, Hailey, weighed two pounds, 14 ounces. Unlike a typical twin pregnancy where the egg splits in half, theirs had a 30/70 split. This resulted in Hannah being significantly smaller than average. Eventually, she was not able to get enough nutrients to her body, which necessitated an immediate delivery.

Their mother, Bonnie Harris, gave birth via emergency C-section at 29 weeks.

“I didn’t even know I was having twins until 20 weeks,” said Harris, a single mother who was living in northern B.C. at the time. She now lives in Courtenay.

“You only have nine weeks to prepare for it.”

She recalls one of her fingers was bigger than Hannah’s ankles.

Following their births, Hailey spent 2 1/2 months

in the neonatal intensive-care unit before being dis- intubated. The sisters celebrated their first birthday charged. She was born with white matter brain disease in hospital. Shortly thereafter, doctors decided that and has a mild form of cerebral palsy in one of her legs, Hannah needed a tracheotomy and was put on a venbut the condition is not readily apparent. tilator full-time.

“It still feels surreal,” Harris said last week.

Hannah is not yet out of the woods because she could again need the trach or Bi-PAP. She is still expected to be sick, especially during the flu season, and to need oxygen more nights than not.

“Because every case of BPD (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) is so different, they don’t know how she will do. There aren’t very many cases like Hannah’s.”

But their life has become more normalized after a journey of four-plus years of home-nursing, hospital admissions and 911 calls.

“It’s hard to remember ... normal,” Harris said. “The last couple months have seemed normal, and she’s going to get better now that I don’t have all that equipment. And we have home nursing in our house.

I’m looking forward to not using them at night and having my house back.

“I’m expecting this year to be rocky, especially the flu season, but I’m sure we’ll do great,” Harris added.

The sisters are excited to hopefully start engaging in normal activities like going to the swimming pool, and attending day care and pre-school.

Hannah and Hailey also like to dance.

“A couple of years ago I couldn’t imagine doing that,” said Harris, who has documented their journey on Facebook and YouTube.

She has included tips for families experiencing similar circumstances, hoping in a small way to help people through hard times.

One would not expect to hear a rendition of Abbott and Costello’s classic comedy routine Who’s on first as the opening for a church service.

Then again, members of the congregation have come to expect the unexpected, when Jennifer Geddes takes to the pulpit.

“I always try to open with a hook,” said the 34-year-old ordained minister, who just recently celebrated her first anniversary at the Comox Valley Presbyterian Church. “I like to grab people with something that is interesting, or funny, or something that appeals to their modern day experience.”

Sometimes she opens by breaking down the lyrics to a contemporary piece of music. Just after Easter, she used Cher’s hit single Do you believe in life after love to deliver the doubting Thomas message.

At Christmas, she described the entire nativity story using chocolate bars.

“It’s just a way to connect biblically with things that are relevant to us today.”

Geddes knew at a young age she was meant to be a minister - not surprising, considering her father is also a (now retired) minister.

She was born and raised in Ontario, and her first ordained call was at St. Andrew’s, in Victoria.

She said that while starting her career on Vancouver Island is a blessing of its own, the move west was by design.

“My dad was really well loved and had a really great reputation throughout southern Ontario, so I knew, the only way I was going to grow my own reputation was by leaving southern Ontario.”

Her move to Courtenay brought her back to when she and her husband, Mike, were first married.

They honeymooned in the Comox Valley.

“So we knew we liked it here,” she said. “We love that we can go for a walk and pass a horse farm, a goat farm, a blueberry farm … the green spaces here are sensational.”

Geddes said that had she not chosen the ministry, she might have pursued a career relating to artifacts.

“I do have a degree in archeology, but I took that degree in archeology knowing I was going to do my masters in divinity afterwards,” she said. “But it is an area I love.

“I also think working in the hospitality industry would be rewarding. But history is a big love of mine.”

So… a coffee shop in a museum?

“That would be ideal. I did think about being a curator at one time.”

She is a museum regular, and particularly loves the Cumberland Museum.

“It has got to be one of the best museums on the Island,” she said. “It is so well done, lots of fun, and so interactive. And we just like spending time in Cumberland.

It’s like ‘the little town that could.’

“Culturally, there is just so much to do in this valley.”

She’s also a regular at the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market.

“It’s the best farmers’ market that we have ever been to.”

And, on her one day off per week, she likes to pack up the minivan and head camping.

“I only get Mondays off, but Sundays after church, we can head off to one of the easily accessible campgrounds and just camp overnight. That break, that solitude, that serenity, is just fantastic.”

How to save water and have green grass

By Katie Maximick A lot of people in the Comox Valley have been mourning the loss of their beautiful green grass during this lengthy drought, but thankfully Jim’s Mowing in Courtenay has a solution: non-toxic lawn paint.

The lawn paint product called Lawnlift has been popular for many years south of the border in drought-ridden states like California, Nevada and Arizona. They

use it on homes, businesses, golf courses and amusement park, and it’s finally available in the Comox Valley through Jim’s Mowing.

“People take pride in their properties and their lawns, and when the weather’s like this and we’re in Stage 3 water restrictions and you can’t water your lawns, this is an alternative,” explained Mark Kelman, a Courtenay franchisee for Jim’s Mowing.

“It’s the driest summer on record and people’s lawns are looking pretty sad,” he added. “This really improves the appearance of lawns within a few minutes. If someone wants to improve curb appeal, like if you have a house for sale, what better way to bump up your curb appeal than having the greenest lawn on the street?”

Lawn painting has already jumped in popularity in places like Van-

couver and Victoria this summer, and one of the main reasons for that (besides the obvious appeal of green grass) is that Lawnlift isn’t harmful for children, pets or the environment.

“It’s totally environmentally friendly and non-toxic, and it contains all natural pigments,” Kelman said.

“They put in a UV binding agent to help it dry, but it’s totally non-toxic.

It’s safe for children and pets, it dries within about an hour after application and once it’s dry, you can walk on it, water it and it won’t affect it.”

“It’s not the kind of paint you buy at the paint store. That’s a

COMOX VALLEY

big concern for a lot of people out there, as it should be.”

Lawnlift can only be used on already dormant (brown) grass, and once applied, will last around three months, or until the rains come and grass begins growing again.

Jim’s Mowing charges 25 cents per square foot and can prepare and paint an average lawn in about an hour.

It’s safe, fast and, best of all, green.

The only downside could be what your neighbours think.

“There might be some neighbours giving you a hard time saying you’re watering your lawn, but that’s not the case,” Kelman said, laughing.

Jim’s Mowing has been operating in B.C. since 1997. If you are interested in Lawnlift for your home or business, call 310-JIMS (5467). For more information on Jim’s Mowing, visit their website at www.jimsmowing.ca.

really responsive to customers,” explains Jordan Mann, manager of Quick & Easy.

“One of the big things is we turn around quickly. From measuring to install, our target is about the two week range, we say ■ Katie Maximick seven to 14 days, whereas other companies katie.maximic can take four to six weeks, so that’s one of @comoxvalleyrecord.com the ways we stand apart.”

“That makes a big difference for builders because people always want to move in to their new homes. For homeowners who are renovating, that means the renos are done that much quicker.”

With a staff of six, the team relies on each other to help out and step into multiple roles in order to get the job done, and with how much business Quick & Easy has been getting, it’s vital to help one another.

“It’s amazing how much business we do for a small company, but because we’re so small we can respond quickly to whatever happens,” Mann said. “If we have a busy week, we work harder and get through it. We don’t get behind because we can’t get behind.”

“When we’re busy, we help each other out. I’ll take the install truck and go help out where I’m needed. That’s how we keep our customers happy.”

JORDAN MANN, MANAGER of Quick & Easy Granite & Quartz, poses in front of a sample Quick & Easy prides itself on wall at their store on Cliffe Ave in Courtenay (Katie Maximick photo).

Being small isn’t always a bad thing, especially when it comes to business.

Specializing in granite and quartz surfaces, Quick & Easy Granite & Quartz uses its small-business approach to maximize both efficiency and customer service in the Comox Valley and across Vancouver Island.

“We’re a smaller company so we try to be

putting the customer first, being efficient and being fair. Their slogan is, “Premium Quality at Discounted Prices,” which Mann explains means focusing on delivering topnotch product while trying to keep overhead as low as possible.

“We carry over a dozen manufacturers, and we don’t mark up our materials,” he said.

“We’re mostly interested in what’s going to save our customers money. We present all options to our customers and let them make their decision. Our interest is in what’s best for our customers.”

A special service offered by Quick & Easy is a personal tour of Lower Mainland solid surface wholesalers to find the perfect piece of stone. Owner Dave Wacowich’s father, Con Wacowich, will pick a customer up at the Tsawwassen ferry terminal and show them a variety of wholesaler options.

“Being a small company, we can do that,” Mann said. “If you’re picking a more interesting piece of stone, like a character stone, that’s a service we can provide that sets us apart.”

And that special customer service is what keeps Quick & Easy in demand, and on people’s minds, when it comes to solid surfaces in the Comox Valley.

“If you treat people well, they come back to you.”

Quick & Easy Granite & Quartz has been operating in the Comox Valley since 2009.

Their store is located at 1874 Cliffe Ave in Courtenay. For more information, visit their website: www.qegranite.com

Yup. Tomato Fruitworm.

■ Leslie Cox DUCHESS OF DIRT Following up on my last column, I have positively identified our tomato pest as the tomato fruitworm… or Helicoverpa zea, to give it its proper name.

(For those who missed my last column: “Oh, Yikes! Tomatoes in Jeopardy”, you can find it online in the Comox Valley Record E-edition dated July 23, 2015. It is also posted on my blog at duchessofdirt.ca.)

Turns out tomatoes are not the only vegetable on this pest’s menu.

Corn, peppers, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, cabbage, watermelon, and a host of others are also munched on.

Tomato fruitworms are found throughout the Western Hemisphere,

with the exception of the extreme colder regions.

They can have as many as four generations per year in temperate regions but carry on a continuous life cycle in warmer tropical areas.

Here is what to you should look for.

The eggs….but you may not see them. One reference states they are “about half the diameter of a pinhead”. A magnifying glass may come in handy.

Search both top and bottom of the leaves for any individual white or cream-colored spheres with a flat base. (The eggs are not laid in clusters as are many other insect eggs.)

I have looked for eggs on some of our tomato plants, without a magnifying glass, but no luck so far.

Depending on the daily temperature, eggs hatch anywhere from the second to tenth day. The emerging larvae are whitish in colour with a dark head,

but their colour may finish up at yellow, green, pink, brown or almost black by the time they are ready to pupate. All will have a tan head and alternating dark and light stripes running laterally down their length, however.

As I have already mentioned in my previous column, the larvae feed on developing fruits, usually in the vicinity of the stem.

Now here is where things start getting really good for the gardener. These guys turn cannibalistic on one another, thereby effectively reducing their numbers. Pretty cool that they cut down their own pest numbers!

Cannibalism aside, a few do survive…each to merrily continue eating away right inside of their own tomato. And boy, do they ever have voracious appetites as they develop through their four to six instar stages.

Once again…depending on environmental conditions…the larval period lasts between fourteen and twenty-one days. When the larvae are fully mature, they drop to the ground and bury themselves down two to four inches (5-10 cm) to pupate. The pupae are fairly hard-shelled, shiny brown cylinders.

During the growing season, the pupating stage takes ten to fourteen days before the mature

COMOXVALLEYRECORD.com

moth emerges. In colder climates, the pupae will overwinter below ground until spring temperatures are warm enough…usually by late April or early May. I have yet to discover any adult tomato fruitworm moths in our garden…although I should look back in my photo library to be sure.

Apparently, they are quite non-descript with their light buff colouring (some may have a greenish tinge) and indistinct darkish markings. The moths are nocturnal, which makes it even harder to locate them.

The adult moths typically only live about a week to ten days. Just long enough to mate and lay eggs. And here lies the second “built-in” pest control.

It is all tied in to something called the pheromonostatic peptide and an evolutionary mechanism that only allows the female moth to activate her pheromone sex gland cells when she encounters the right host plant.

The process is all very scientific but it is a totally awesome example of how nature keeps itself in balance.

Given the climate change trend and our input to its cause… perhaps we need to be more self-regulating ourselves.

New kitchen for Fallen Alders The Fallen Alders Community Hall was built in 1953 and has been a part of the social goings on around Royston ever since.

This heritage building sits on seven acres and is available for all community events.

Our project, funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program, was called “Upgrading our Vintage 1953 kitchen” and was a huge undertaking.

A large counter sat in the mid-

dle of the floor taking up most of the space making it hard to work around.

Everything had to come out and the kitchen had to be stripped down to the bare bones.

All new doors, flooring, electrical wiring, cupboards, island, and all new appliances were installed along with a fresh coat of paint.

The small storage room, which doubles as the bar, also received a facelift.

The board of directors hired

Ed Erdman Construction to do the majority of the work, Tilley Electric to complete the electrical work, and painting and other odd jobs were done by volunteers.

The board of directors of the Fallen Alders Community Club would like to thank the volunteers, Ed Erdman Construction, Steve of Tilley Electric and also say thank you to MP John Duncan and his staff who were most helpful in our effort to get this The newly renovated Fallen Alders kitchen grant.

WHAT’SatUP the Rising Appalachia is one of many musical acts performing at Atmosphere Gathering from Aug. 14 to 16 in Cumberland.

A multi-sensory atmosphere approaches Mark Allan Special to the Record

There are music festivals and there’s the Atmosphere Gathering.

The second annual event Aug. 14-16 at Village Park in Cumberland is a “gathering” by virtue of its overall experience that transcends music, promoter Vig Schulman of Cumberland Village Works indicates in an interview.

“It’s an example of how festival culture has changed in the last 30 years,” Schulman begins, citing the Burning Man and Woodford festivals as examples of events where people can meet and share multi-sensory experiences.

“People will travel to these events because these events give them a sense that, ‘I can dress in costumes, I can

dance, I can do yoga’ … it opens up people’s other sensibilities, which our culture generally doesn’t have a lot of room for.

“The freedom to be who you are at these kinds of eventsº is important.”

Atmosphere, Schulman summarizes, is “the love child of The Big Time Out (a previous Cumberland Village Works event).”

Attracting about 1,500 people to Village Park, Atmosphere is half the size of TBTO. Music, which is still a major component, will feature Nahko and Medicine for the People, Kaminanda, Plantrae, Rising Appalachia, Fort Knox Five and David Starfire” as well as North Island favourites Five Alarm Funk and Nickodemus. The roster also includes The Librarian, Erica Dee

and Mat The Alien, among others.

Atmosphere will again offer three stages this year, which help to expand the experience beyond music.

Besides the main stage, the grounds will include an authentic Italian circus tent, which will present most of the weekend’s electronic music.

An elixir temple operated by Cumberland company Harmonic Arts and a workshop teepee add to the Atmosphere experience.

It will be a family-friendly weekend, Schulman stresses.

“There will be children there, babies, and all the way up to my age, which is older than dirt,” he jokes.

A secondary but important aspect of the event is the Village of Cumberland itself, he notes.

“We’re making sure that people are aware that’s part of the ambience of our event while it’s in this village.”

Dunsmuir Avenue with its pubs, restaurants and shops is a short walk away.

With Cumberland Village Works partner Melissa Roeske, Schulman has booked talent for innumerable performances in the village. That includes festivals almost every year that have been known as The Big Time Out, Big Day Up and other names.

Cumberland Village Works and Little Island Productions are producing this year’s event. Little Island, Schulman says, booked the electronic talent.

Schulman estimates 25 to 30 people are part of the team and the partners that bring Atmosphere to life.

Originals Only puts focus on Island artists One of Vancouver Island’s most unique cultural events will be taking place on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 8-9 at Marina Park in Comox.

Now in its 13th year, the Originals Only Art Show has become one of the many events that helps make the Comox Valley a cultural hotspot.

What differs from other outdoor shows and festivals is the fact that Originals Only focuses entirely on the traditional forms of fine art: painting and sculpture. All of the artists participating in the show have made a commitment to display only original works of art in order to highlight the importance fine art plays in defining communities.

These artists cover a broad spectrum of styles, genres and experience. One of the features the show organizers promote is the fact that visitors can find artists who have gained international recognition set up next to an artist who is just embarking on their artistic journey.

Do you know the difference between abstract and impressionism, contemporary and realistic? Here’s your opportunity to find out as art education plays a key role in the show. Visitors will have the opportunity to compare and learn more about the different styles that artists employ to express themselves or to help people focus on the beauty that surrounds them.

For many of the artists themselves it is also a learning experience as it provides those who are just emerging onto the art scene with the opportunity to get some much valued tips and tricks from the more mature and established artists.

There’s an old axiom that states there may be more to it than meets the eye. In the case of the Originals Only Show this is close to the truth as each work of art is a reflection of the artists vision of the subject matter. Visiting the show provides a terrific opportunity to meet the artists in person, find out why they have chosen a particular subject or style, and learn more about their chosen medium.

With the number of artists participating this year, with each of them having their own display space there will be literally thousands of original works on display. From watercolours to acrylics, oils to pastels, stone to wood, the works cover a broad spectrum of all the materials that go into making a piece of art.

The show itself has been supported by the Town of Comox through the recreation department for the past 13 years.

“This has been very important to us as a group of artists,” said Joe Smith, one of the

Atmosphere: A legacy for Cumberland continued from, Page 23 He describes the first festival 10 years ago as “a bit of a watershed for this community to actually move out of this somewhat depressed” state. “There are many people who have rented and bought houses in this town because there was a festival

down there called The Big Time Out. I feel there’s a legacy we have brought to this community.”

Sixteen venues featured at Denman Art Studio Tour Denman Island may just be the perfect get-a-way destination for explorers and art-lovers this coming weekend.

Sixteen unique venues will be showcasing local talent in the form of exceptional painting, photography, woodwork, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media and more.

Visitors can look forward to beating the heat with a cool ferry ride and the adventure of winding one’s way down shady country roads to picturesque studio locations.

A visit to Studio Angelika will provide a glimpse into the fine art of paper-making.

Specializing in mixed media collage, this artist always aims for a subtle, soft blend of colours and textures in her delicate assemblages.

Feathers, threads, tiny stones and other often over-looked, found treasures find their way into her intimate works.

On the same side of the island, Dennis Forsyth and Marilyn Jensen will be welcoming guests to their gallery at East Road Arts. They, too, find inspiration for creative expression in the exciting biodiversity of the local environment.

Forsyth captures natural wonders

This piece is an example of the art you will find at Mary Hicks’s studio. PHOTO SUPPLIED through the lens of his camera while Jensen sews, paints and weaves with materials reflective of this couple’s

island home. In Leslie Dunsmore’s home and studio, colourful paintings invite the viewer into dramatic landscapes that explore forests, mountains, wetlands, subterranean worlds and more.

Mary Hicks works with metal and enamelling, and current sculptural forms blend strands of copper with brilliantly coloured enamel panels and even woven photographs. Hicks also uses copper to fashion enamelled jewelry.

At the other end of the island, Richard Menard’s studio features sculptural pieces carved in wood and stone or cast in bronze. Serene faces of a Buddha-like moon, some carved from yellow cedar, grace the walls.

The talent and diversity awaiting discovery on the Denman tour is truly outstanding, and the opportunity for an intimate glimpse into the world where artists spend their hours dreaming and creating is an added bonus.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday and is absolutely free.

Tour maps will be available at both the Buckley Bay ferry booth and at the Denman Art Centre.

Just look for the outdoor quilt dis-

play, conveniently located right at the top of the ferry hill. Visit denmanartstour2015.blogspot. ca for a colourful sneak preview and link to ferry schedule information.

Kaimerata Music Festival 2015 expanding to Courtenay For several years, classical music lovers from Courtenay and Comox have been travelling by ferry to Denman Island to enjoy the performances of Canadian violinist Kai Gleusteen and his wife, French pianist Catherine Ordronneau.

The pair, who are based in Barcelona Spain, have just come off a successful 17-city tour of China and are now gearing up to take us on a five-day, five-concert journey through the musical world of the German composer Felix Mendelssohn.

Until this year all their Comox Valley concerts have been on Denman Island, where Gleusteen’s parents live. But this year, for the first time, one of the concerts will be presented in Courtenay at the Stan Hagen Theatre. Kai and Catherine will once again be joined

by Canadian musicians Ariel Barnes on cello, Hiroko Kagawa on violin and David Visentin on viola. A bonus this year will be the addition of a quartet of gifted young student musicians from Victoria, Vancouver and Cal-

Casey Stengal famously equivocated, “Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.”

Monday at Bill Moore Memorial Park, the vice-versa was on display as Chemainus scored 28 runs in their final two games to claim the 2015 BC Bantam A Baseball Championship.

After knocking off Vancouver Community 15-5 in the morning semifinals, Chemainus kept the bats booming in the afternoon with a 13-1 win over Port Coquitlam in the gold medal game.

The host Comox Valley Cardinals earned a piece of the bronze medal at the 10-team event. Tourney organizers note the losers of the semis share third place, and the Cards dropped their Monday morning semi 9-6 to Port Coquitlam to give them a share of the bronze along with Vancouver Community.

Cards’ coach Steve MacNamee noted it was a tough loss in the semis, as Comox Valley led 6-1 going into the seventh inning.

Other than that, the team played “lights out” all weekend, MacNamee said. “Our kids in the round-robin of the tournament played probably their best baseball

“They were really coming together as a team. The pitchers threw well, all of our defence played well, and our hitting came alive.”

The Cards opened Friday with a 10-3 win over Newton then on Saturday handed Chemainus their only loss of the tourney, 6-4, and whipped White Rock 14-1.

An 11-8 loss to Abbotsford Sunday left them with a 3-1 record in Pool B and a date with PoCo in the semis.

“I can’t be more proud of the way the boys played,” MacNamee added. “Every single person contributed… from our starting pitchers right down to the guy who batted in our #12 spot, we could not have got into that semifinal without all of them contributing the way they did.

“They were fantastic.

They were enthusiastic.

They were happy. They were just playing good fundamental baseball the whole

time. They did everything we asked of them,” the coach said.

Comox Valley Baseball Association president Shannon Gaboury said the provincial tourney was a success.

“I think it went really well. We had great weather, good umpiring, the teams were fantastic and there was some good play.

We heard nothing but good things about it,” Gaboury said.

Time Flys did just that at Saratoga Speedway as Kevin Ramer rolled his monster truck, much to the delight of the PHOTO BY FERNANDO PEREIRA spectators. The Wilroc Lite Sprints are set to go this weekend.

The first-ever father-daughter team of Rosalee and Kevin Ramer headlined an amazing show at Saratoga Speedway as four new monster trucks ripped it up over the long weekend.

Wild Flower, Time Flys, Blown Income and Tow Monster made their debuts, with the Hornet cars, Crash to Pass cars and the Roadrunners joining the over 1,500-horse powered machines.

After a weekend of rain, Mother Nature returned the hot temperatures to the Island for the long weekend, making for awesome track conditions.

In Saturday’s Crash to Pass main event, #73 Sheldon Hopp plowed through the field for his fourth main event win of the year.

The Roadrunner main event saw Guest get his #88 machine back in the winner’s circle. He grabbed the lead on lap three in the 15-lap feature and never looked back. #12 Raymond Fortier found himself in winners square in the Hornet A main event; he grabbed the lead on lap eight and held off a tight field of nine cars for his second straight main win.

Sunday night action saw an even bigger field of Hornets, going from 31 on Saturday to a season high of 37. Our first two roll overs of the year took place: first #05 Trevor Cannon in an actionpacked Crash to Pass heat race, then Kevin Ramer in the Time Flys machine, putting it on its roof in front

Good news (bullhead derby) and bad news (salmon closures) OUTDOORS

This little angler lands her fish at the 29th annual PHOTO BY RALPH SHAW Bullhead Derby.

Our early season summer chinook are facing serious warm water problems in the Puntledge River.

For beach anglers who practise catch and release on pink salmon, I urge serious restraint because when you play and release a pink salmon in warm water you have added another challenge to its ability to survive in life-threatening warm water situations.

I have had some

good reports of limit catches of pink salmon in Johnstone Strait and I suspect these are Fraser fish because they are mint bright. There are also a few fish showing up locally and some of them are quite dark.

It seems we are heading into a long beach fishing season due to the low water situation.

It is no fun writing about serious fishing closures on the freshwater streams of Vancouver Island on one hand and on the other the fun and excitement of the annual bullhead derby; but climate change is creating all kinds of choices now and into the future.

Earlier in the week I received a notice from Fisheries and Oceans Canada that illustrates just how serious the drought conditions on Vancouver Island are becoming.

“Effective 00:01 hours August 1st, 2015 until further notice the following Vancouver Island Rivers will close to salmon angling: All river systems in management units 1-7 to 1-13

celebrations was its usual success. When I checked at about 9 a.m. they had over 300 entries and there were lineups to register. Pictured with the column is a little girl just landing her bullhead. It is also the possible beginning of a life-long hobby of recreational fishing.

One of the great outcomes of this childhood derby is the interconnected activities that take place between grandparents and small children. In a society that is changing by the new social media it is one of the remaining recreational adventures that bridge the generation gap.

By my calculation, if you take a reasonable guess of about 500 children that annually participate in the Bullhead Derby over the past 29 years that gives you roughly 14,000 participants.

Certainly many of the children that fish the derby do so on an

All rivers on Vancouver Island in Region 1 are now closed to salmon fishing until further notice with the exception of the Campbell/Quinsam Rivers and the Qualicum River.”

Region 1 is the designation of Vancouver Island in the Freshwater Fisheries Regulations. This column supports the closures but admits to being a little confused about the rivers that remain open. The best rationale that I can make is that both systems have their sources in large deep-water lakes that remain cooler with adequate water levels.

Another reminder about how serious the drought conditions are becoming: the salmon in the Rosewall Hatchery and enhancement society hatchery have had to be moved to the Big Qualicum and Quinsam Hatcheries because they have run out of water.

BUSINESS Join Next Wave of business networking The Next Wave of Comox Valley business networking has arrived.

A new business networking group simply called Next Wave is giving local businesspeople a new opportunity to generate referral business and a whole lot more.

“We’re similar in structure and appearance to other business networking groups in the Comox Valley, but we’ve really put a lot more emphasis on direct, tangible value to our members,” says Next Wave president Lara Austin.

The group itself plans to invest heavily in online and offline promotion to benefit its members.

The annual membership fee is just $300.

“This summer is a great time for new members to join ahead of our September membership drive,” says Austin.

“Membership is limited to one representative per industry, and there are some prime opportunities heading into the fall. You want to get your seat before someone else does.”

Next Wave meets from 7 to 8 a.m. every Tuesday at the White Spot in Courtenay.

Guests are welcome anytime to find out what the group is about, speak with members and learn more about member benefits.

The driving force behind Next Wave, which has been meeting informally since last fall, has been Realtor Mike Fisher – although Fisher himself is quick to underscore the collaborative efforts of all involved.

“We have a really high calibre of enthusiastic professionals

Each meeting features a brief introduction from each member, one spotlight presentation and a short “educational moment” followed by a round-table discussion.

The idea with the educational component is, once again, to go beyond merely networking and provide tangible value to Next Wave members.

Anyone interested in being a guest at an upcoming meeting can contact vice-president Darcy Lefebvre at darcy@rpcopywrting.com or 250-8975450.

This year the Comox Valley Community Foundation granted the CV Hospice Society more than $16,000 to furnish one of its four patient rooms at the new “Hospice at The Views”.

The funds were used to purchase many unique items – a state of the art bed with specialized mattress to insure comfort and optimal skin care, ceiling lift systems and air purifier. There is also a pull out sleeping chair so that a family member or friend can be comfortable while providing support to a dying loved one.

“These items can be expensive,” explains Terri Odeneal, Executive Director of the CV Hospice Society. “For instance, all furniture and surfaces like mattresses must be suitable for the comfort and medical needs of patients as well as the required infection control standards. We also wanted beds and mattresses to accommodate the needs of tall and larger individuals.”

“The Hospice Society has received huge support from service clubs, businesses and individuals in the Comox Valley,” underlined Norm Carruthers, President of the Community Foundation. “We knew our donors would want the CVCF to find ways to support hospice palliative care in our community.”

Since its inception in 1996, the CVC Foundation has supported Hospice’s work to provide compassionate care and support to individuals in the last stages of living.

Beginning next year, the CVCF will be able to do even more. Part of the income from the recently created multimillion dollar Mamie and Cherry Aitken Fund will be paid to Hospice. “These funds will help Hospice train volunteers, provide clinical support to the dying and support caregivers,” says Carruthers. “This is another important way the CVC Foundation and its donors continue to enrich lives in the Comox Valley.”

Then there’s the engine. Its humble 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque being produced from its 1.4L, MultiAir Turbo four-cylinder might look mediocre on paper, but it brings this car to life.

And of the three available engines offered, the base, naturally aspirated 1.4L MultiAir, the Turbo, or the Turbo from the Abarth version (160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque), the 500 Turbo (middle child of engines) is my top pick.

It is spirited, peppy and makess driving fun. It’s enough horsepower too play with, but not enough to get into too much trouble.

Adding to the fun factor is w the introduction of an all-new uAisin heavy-duty six-speed auual lover to tomatic transmission. A manual the core, I quite liked the new addition to the fold. It also took the edge off in urban commuting.

While I love the car as a whole, I still have a couple of quibbles with it.

The instrument panel (with the push

buttons and all) looks archaic and is a headache to work with.

Furthermore, the optional navigation also sits atop the dash, which eats up prime real estate with it comes to forward visibility. And it looks misplaced.

But for the reasons I wrestle with the Fiat 500 Turbo, there are plenty more favourable features that put me at ease.

They’re excited about their car and want to share the love.

The Fiat 500 Turbo Hatchback has a starting MSRP of $21,395. But with all the options, the price as tested comes out to $30,370.

He was born at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, lived in Vernon Camp until age 7, moved to Royston until shortly after the passing of his Mother in 1984, then on to Courtenay. Michael never really got over the loss of his Mother Chrystal, and onward had a troubled life. Recently he had managed to get his life in order, the motivation being the ability to spend quality time with his children, and things were looking better. Unfortunately he never got to fulfill this dream.

Michael will be cremated, and on August 29th at 1:00PM, when all family and close friends have had sufficient time to grieve, a “Celebration of Life� in his name will be held at the Royston Hall, following which his ashes will be spread over Baynes Sound, joining with those of his Mother Chrystal, and his Uncle David. In honour of his memory, and the memory of his Mother Chrystal and Uncle David, a Memorial Viewing Bench will be erected in Royston, overlooking the site of the final resting place of the three. This will allow his children, other family members, and friends, to come to sit and reflect on the wonderful memories his Huge Smile and even Bigger Heart have left behind, and we wish to thank all who have contributed to make this memorial a reality.

Out of Respect for Michael’s struggle, no alcohol will be served, and in lieu of flowers please give to a Charity of your choice in his name. Seating is limited so we request only family and close friends attend.

It is with deep mourning that we announce the passing of Peter Christopher Wilson.

Peter passed away peacefully on July 21 at the age of 59. Survived by his partner, Jean Priest; children: Rebecca, Andrew and Katrina Wilson, step daughter: Nicole Abbot; grandchildren: Grace and Megan Abbot and Gabriel Herman; and siblings: Neil Wilson and Pam (Russ) Watters.

Peter was born Ross Francis Whiteduck in Kirkland Lake ON and was adopted at birth by Alex and Betty Wilson.

He grew up in Haileybury, ON and at age 16 he hitchhiked across the country to Nanaimo BC to ‘go logging’.

After suffering a devastating knee injury he changed professions slightly and for the last 35 years Peter was a blaster in both urban and residential settings. Peter identified himself as an alcoholic; and through strong character and resolve was sober for the last 34 years of his life. He was an active AA member and contributed to the sobriety of many people.

Peter will always be remembered for his keen intellect and his piercing blue eyes. He possessed a profound intolerance for ‘stupidity’ and had an ability to bring laughter to friends and family and anyone he met with his quirky way of seeing life. Peter had an endless supply of stories, jokes and anecdotes collected over the many years he worked in numerous bush camps and job sites.

GAUDRY, Jeannette Simone 1928-2015

Our hearts are broken as we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Jeannette.

She was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba, the second youngest of nine children, to Marie Louise and Alphonse Marcoux. Soon after moving to Vancouver she met and married the love of her life, Gilbert. They lived in Prince Rupert, Vancouver and the Comox Valley, and raised five children.

Jeannette was a very caring person who loved life and impressed everyone with her kindness and compassion. She was an avid gardener, had a beautiful singing voice and had a great joie de vivre. She and Gil spent many happy hours on their various boats, exploring much of the B.C. coast. They were lucky enough to live many years right on the seashore in Comox and on Denman Island.

Jeannette was happiest when she was surrounded by her family and friends.

She was predeceased by her parents and siblings, as well as her daughter Julie and Gil, her husband of more than fifty years. She is survived by her daughter Patricia, and sons Ron, Robert and Dean. She had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. As well, she is also survived by her good friend, Linda Ball.

By Jeannette’s request, private family arrangements.

Remember When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile Forget if you can that I ever frowned and remember only my smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken Remember some good I have done.

Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I’ve had lots of fun.

Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way Remember I’ve fought some hard battles and won ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day.

But in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay.

And come in the shade of the evening When the sun paints the sky in the West and stand for a few moments beside me.

MARS seeking designs for commemorative structure

The Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) is asking for design ideas for a permanent structure in order to honour donors involved in the construction of the new wildlife hospital and surrounding facilities.

MARS was bequeathed a significant sum of money by the Michelle Woodrow estate, enabling it to purchase nearly 11 acres in Merville. The society is now involved in ongoing fundraising to develop the necessary facilities to move on to the land. The goal is to have a functioning animal hospital by 2017.

The community feedback for the facility has been positive and MARS personnel say it is important that the contributors, who make it happen, never be forgotten. It is the reason for the design idea contest.

“We envision that this permanent structure will be something like a donor wall that could be placed inside the entry to our new

facility,” said MARS founder Maj Birch. “The donor wall would capture the names of individuals and corporations who have donated funds, materials and labour to construction of the new MARS rehabilitation centre. Within these constraints of the wall being a permanent structure with historical value, we remain open to the use of materials.”

MARS has been committed to the care and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife for the past 20 years.

“Our greatest wish is that our Valley join us in getting involved in the development of what will certainly be an increasingly important and continuing connection to wildlife and our environment,” said Birch. “We invite all designers, artists and those who have a vision of an idea, to submit it to MARS. All entries will be carefully considered and we anticipate an enterprising and winning design will be chosen and so recognized.”

LUSH seeking farmers and volunteers for Fruit Tree Program

Food waste in Canada has hit a critical level with over $31 billion worth of food entering landfills in 2014 and 47 per cent of that waste coming from individual households.

The Comox Valley is blessed with one of the most desirable food growing climates in Canada and has many backyard fruit trees that grow in abundance. Unfortunately, much of that fruit falls to the ground uneaten and is left to rot.

Since 2002, LUSH (Let us Share the Harvest) Valley has run a Fruit Tree Program that aims to reduce local food waste by picking and redistributing fruit and produce to those who need it most. Over the past 13 years LUSH Valley has picked well over 35,000 pounds of naturally grown food which is shared equally between homeowners, pickers and LUSH Valley who re-distributes their share to local community organizations such as the Comox Valley Food Bank and community schools.

This year, LUSH is gearing up for another abundant season and is currently looking for homeowners and farms who have surplus

fruit trees, berry bushes or other produce available to harvest.

Home and farm owners benefit not only by being able to keep onethird of the food and having a cleaner yard or field, but by the satisfaction of knowing they are helping to reduce local food waste and help those in need.

LUSH is also looking for more volunteers to help with the picks.

Harvesting is an excellent chance to get some fresh air, a little exercise, to get to know other members of the community and take home fresh food.

If you want to dedicate your trees or some time to being involved in an important food security tradition in the Comox Valley, or have an organization that is in need of fresh produce, please contact fruit@lushvalley.org or call 250331-0152 for more information.

We are also looking for donated supplies such as fruit and produce boxes, picking bibs, poles, pails and other relevant tools.

This summer come help LUSH Valley do our part in reducing Canada’s food waste while having some fun and making a positive difference in the community.
