The BC Ministry of Advanced Education announced $158,022 for health-care students in the Comox Valley and Port Alberni this week.

The one-time funding supports 20 new Health Care Assistant spaces at NIC’s Comox Valley campus and space for nine emergency medical responder students.

The Emergency Medical Responder program is offered in partnership with the Justice Institute of BC at NIC’s Port Alberni campus.

“The 20 health-care assistant spaces will certainly address the demand for frontline health workers on north Vancouver Island but most exciting is that 10 of those spaces will be offered as a special intake in the evening and weekends,” said NIC president John Bowman.

“This allows those already working in the field the necessary flexibility to achieve their certification.”

The HCA funding will split between two different intakes: Ten of the Health Care Assistant students started in August, and 10 additional seats will be offered starting February, 2016.

The funding is part of a $600,000 announcement for three public post-secondary institutions on Vancouver Island.

It is targeted at programs running for one year or less.

Berwick extension pondered ■ Erin Haluschak

erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

With a proposed six-storey addition to The Berwick on Comox Avenue, Comox council unanimously approved a motion to refer the proposal back to staff to look at other options before proceeding to vote on first and second reading.

In front of packed council chambers Wednesday, council first heard from Chris Morrison from the Garry Oak Preservation Committee, who asked council to consider three Garry oak trees in their decision for the expansion. “(One tree) is right in the way of the extension - it’s about 200 years old,” she explained. “It’s life expec-

tancy is between 500 to 1,000 years. It’s drought and fire resistant. And in the OCP (Official Community Plan) it’s a real bone of contention,” Morrison explained.

She showed council schematics of varied plans which would save the tree from being cut down, and suggested the extension could be moved further back on the newly-purchased lot, which is at 1666 Comox Ave. “The Comox Valley Seniors Village also has a Garry oak tree, and they build around it,” Morrison explained.

Following their presentation, a delegation of Chris Denford, president and CEO of Berwick Retirement Communities and architect Jackson Low explained the proposed addition - which would hold 34 additional suites, a larger dining room bistro, a larger theatre, games room

and staff lounge - would add to the vitalization of downtown Comox.

Low added the design looks to save as many trees as possible, as only one out of three Garry oaks would have to be cut.

“We decided to go higher rather than sprawl out over the property,” he said.

Low also explained the expansion would add an additional 12 parking stalls to the facility.

Coun. Russ Arnott asked Denford how he sees the extension adding to the town’s vitalization, if the facility would offer more options for its residents in-house.

“A lot of community groups use our facilities, and our residents do use the downtown core quite a bit,” he replied.

Arnott also expressed his concerns about losing the Garry oak tree in its current proposal, and the overall height of the building.

Get our experience working for you!

In a presentation to council, town planner Marvin Kamenz said a four-storey maximum height building limit only applies to apartment buildings, and as the facility would be classified as congregate care, there is no storey limit.

Coun. Barbara Price asked Kamenz to clarify about OCP restrictions on building stories.

He explained the OCP is very specific in distinguishing between apartments and other buildings such as mixed use commercial and single family which do no have a prohibition on maximum storeys.

Coun.

Ken Grant inquired what might happen if the proposal was reduced to four storeys.

“If we look at the total square footage, four storeys would push the footprint to the street and impact the Garry oaks to a higher degree,” Kamenz noted.

While the numbers are improving, it’s not good enough, note the North Island Integrated Road Safety Unit of the number of drunk drivers caught throughout the Labour Day long weekend.

The NIIRSU conducted several enforcement initiatives throughout the Comox Valley and Campbell River area, with a total of 19 drunk driver taken off roadways.

Three drivers received 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibitions; 10 drivers received three-day immediate roadside driving prohibitions; one driver was charged with the criminal code offence of driving while impaired by drugs; two drivers received 24-hour driving prohibitions due to alcohol consumption; two driver received 24-hour driving prohibitions due to drug consumption and one class seven novice driver received a 12-hour driving prohibition due to alcohol consumption.

Several vehicles were impounded with time periods ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. Additionally, one driver was charged for driving while suspended and two drivers were served with new driving prohibitions sanctioned by ICBC. There were also several drivers who were found to be consuming liquor while they were driving their vehicles.

Police remind drivers to make the right decision if consuming alcohol or drugs by calling a cab, using a designated driver, taking the bus or a walk.

NDP, Conservatives lead poll

Courtenay-Alberni NDP candidate Gord Johns has seen a slight dip in support since July while second-place Conservative candidate John Duncan has climbed to within six points, according to an Insights West poll on behalf of the Dogwood Initiative. Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson and Green candidate Glenn Sollitt remain well back in third and fourth place.

The Dogwood Initiative is a non-partisan citizen advocacy organization that is tracking voter interest in the buildup to next month’s federal election.

May numbers indicated the NDP held about a 13-point lead.

Dave Mills, Dogwood field organizer for Northern Vancouver Island, said undecided voters are still at 24 per cent — the same number as the last election when voter turnout was around 66 per cent.

“So almost a quarter of the surveyed population is undecided,” Mills said. “That’s interesting in itself.”

Among decided voters, he said 39 per cent support the NDP, 33 per cent Conservatives, 13 per cent Liberals and 12 per cent Green.

The margin of error is 5.5 per cent.

“It could almost be considered a statistical tie. It is a proper sample, at 300. Next time we’re going to do 400. That will cut the margin of error in half,” Mills said.

In an effort to reach new voters, Dogwood volunteers hit the streets across the riding on Saturday, Sept. 19.

City simplifying development Changes to the development application process at the City of Courtenay will soon pave the way for improved service for the development community.

A new “one window” approach will provide a single point of contact for developers and centralize services into one department.

Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula said the changes prioritize efficiency for developers and staff.

“These changes are based on feedback we’ve received from the development community, as well as our staff, on how we could make the development process easier,” Jangula said.

“We’ve also looked at best practices in other communities.

“It’s in everyone’s best interests for the development application process to be as clear and smooth as possible, and we think this new approach is going to be a big step forward.”

Any development application services that are currently provided by engineering and public works will be transferred to the development services department, and a new subdivision and development servicing division will be created within the

department.

Engineering and public works will focus on core responsibilities of delivering utility and transportation services, with a focus on asset management.

The transition will occur over the next several months, and is just one part of an overall effort to improve service for developers.

Other changes include new subdivision applications rolled out earlier this year. As well, the development application bylaw was updated in 2014 to speed up application reviews.

New comprehensive engineering specifications, standards and design guidelines are also being developed.

Eatmore gets Buy Local bucks

■ Tuesday, September 22, 2015 ■ 5

■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

The B.C. government’s Buy Local program has provided Eatmore Sprouts & Greens with $26,500 to promote their products through retailers, farmers’ markets and food-related community events. The idea is to help the business find new customers and increase sales.

“This funding is a really great opportunity for us to develop our marketing plan, and implement our marketing plan,” said Carmen Wakeling, who owns the 1.5-hectare farm along with husband Glenn. “We’re really thankful to the ministry for providing this opportunity. We will make the most of it.

“A lot of people don’t know we’re produced in the Comox Valley, so we’re going to be able to focus on that and take a consumer message out there, which has not been an opportunity we’ve had in the past.”

Located on Grieve Road off the Old Island Highway, the business employs about 45 people.

Eatmore grows alfalfa, deli sprouts, clover, broccoli and greens year-round in an indoor growing facility and greenhouses.

Comox Valley MLA Don McRae says the farm is a “made-in-B.C. success story.

“I want to congratulate them on receiving their Buy Local funding so they can continue to promote their popular products,” he said, noting B.C. contains about 20,000 family farms.

No more Olympic Games for Canada?

Toronto will not bid for the 2024 Olympic Games, extending another long period in which it’s unlikely that either a summer or winter Olympics will be held in North America.

That may be a very good thing.

It cost VANOC $1.9 billion to stage the games, but the total cost including infrastructure was closer to $7 billion. So while the games themselves broke even, the province and feds spent quite a bit on new roads, the Canada Line, and venues.

Some of that was needed. Richmond is fast growing and needed its SkyTrain extension, and improving the Sea to Sky Highway will reduce crashes.

But basing infrastructure spending around a brief sporting event is no way to do longterm planning. Maybe Surrey and Langley should host the 2024 games – we might actually get some better bus and light rail service sometime in the next decade.

While Vancouver broke even on the games themselves, that has not been the experience of many recent host countries. Russia spent about $50 billion on its winter Olympics, China $40 billion on its 2008 summer games, London about $14.6 billion in 2012.

Canada has done better than most when it hosts games – most of the infrastructure keeps being used, but the Olympic Village itself proved a huge headache for both the City of Vancouver and buyers.

More than anything, it’s increasingly hard in a post-recession, slow-growth world to stomach being told that we’re going to have to tighten our belts, retire later, work harder, save more on our own – and then watch the government splash out money to host an event that’s over in less than a month.

In light of these issues, it’s no surprise that Toronto is opting out. It’s possible that someday the Olympics will become more about sport than spectacle, more about the athletes than national medal contests, and maybe then they’ll be cheap enough to host again.

Black Press

“Refugees are flooding Europe. It’s a matter of time before they are hitting Australia and Canada.

“If Canada doesn’t care, they’re living in a fool’s paradise, thinking that it doesn’t concern them … the impact is huge.”

Those prophetic words were spoken

by Prof. Rupen Das, director of community development for the Lebanese Society of Education and Development, in regard to the Syrian conflict.

It was November 2013, in Beirut, Lebanon.

And now, almost two years later, they are still coming, by the tens of thousands, awash in misery, most carrying nothing but hope, and their children.

The stunning waves of refugees pouring into Europe is unprecedented.

The vast majority of this human tide is from Syria, of course, where almost half the population has fled since civil war began to tear up the country in 2011.

It seems conceivable that what I witnessed firsthand in Jordan and Lebanon in 2013, covering Canadian Foodgrains Bank refugee relief efforts there, could actually have grown worse.

Yet it has. Two years ago, tiny Lebanon was bursting at the seams with Syrian refugees – in excess of one million. Jordan had taken well over

to abandon their country and also head north, along with the hundreds of thousands of other refugees from other war-torn and impoverished areas in that part of the world, the impact on Europe will be crushing – so much so that those economies could be crippled.

Services to help all those people will be overwhelmed. And when all hope is stripped away, it can be replaced quickly by anger and hatred.

Imagine millions of disenchanted refugees turning their frustration against governments and citizens.

Widespread turmoil in Europe will fracture global markets, including commerce here. Our NIMBYism won’t mean a thing.

This clearly is a global issue, requiring the humanitarian, political and military efforts of all major countries, including Russia and China.

Taking in refugees is only half the task. The other is to stabilize Syria.

That means a global military ground force to eradicate ISIS, and disassemble the battlefield.

The only way the stream of refugees will be stemmed, and even reversed, is to make Syria livable again.

And that’s going to take a tremendous amount of political willpower and, undoubtedly, some lives.

Sitting back as detached observers is absolutely not an option.

600,000. Turkey now has nearly two million registered refugees.

As those bordering friendly countries literally filled up with frantic people seeking safety and shelter, a new, hyper-fundamentalist and ultra-violent player – Islamist State, or ISIS – emerged on the bewildering, bloody chessboard of militias and religious factions that is Syria today.

Increasingly desperate eyes turn north – to Europe. The “nirvanas” of Germany, Austria, Italy, France, the UK and Sweden hold the promise of peace, support and jobs.

That thousands have lost their lives in attempting the perilous journey, drowning at sea in horribly overloaded boats, and trudging hundreds of miles with little to no food or shelter, underscores the desperation at the core of this exodus.

The debate is on in Canada as to how many refugees we can and should take. Our southern neighbours are equally challenged.

There are many Canadians who take the Not In My Back Yard approach. There are fears that ISIS terrorists are planted in the refugee flood. The selfish point is made that we have enough issues of our own, such as homeless and impoverished seniors, without importing new challenges.

They are not groundless arguments, but ones based on a terribly myopic and naive view of the world.

Ten million Syrians remain in their own homes. If even half decide

Conservative policies would benefit wealthy, not the poor

Dear editor, Re: Leave it to our grandchildren to solve In a previous budget, the Conservatives made changes to old age security which will eventually, move the age that a retiree can start collecting OAS from age 65 to 67. The change was made because (in their words) the future costs of OAS was unsustainable without changes.

The most recent budget proposes changes to contributions to tax free investment accounts. A comparison of the impact on future government finances is revealing. A 40-year-old, who invests $10,000 per year for 25 years in a tax free savings account, at a modest 6% return will generate $300,000 in tax free income. At a 30% tax rate, this would be a $90,000 tax savings.

This person and a second person of the same age, who does not have the income to salt away $10,000 per year in a tax free savings account, will both lose out on $22,000 in old age security, due to not being able to start collecting until age 67. The $22,000 figure is based on the current OAS rate with 2% per year inflation.

These two policies will have a balancing affect on government finances, but will redistribute income from the poor to the wealthy. Hopefully voters will recognize the unfairness in the Conservative wealth redistribution plans and will not leave the problem for our grandchildren to solve.

Efforts must be made to end civil violence in Syria

Dear editor, The truly tragic case of Syrian refu-

gees has again been graphically highlighted by international news media.

Predictably, politicians are jumping on the latest story as another piece of ready-made campaign propaganda.

Few, if any, are brave enough to consider increased military involvement.

Some want to do ‘more’ for Syrians, meaning perhaps nothing, perhaps a few dozen extra aid workers. Others suggest allowing more refugees into Canada, with no explanation of how temporary accommodations might remedy a war-torn homeland.

Yes, if Canada can do anything more to help suffering people, we ought to do it. But treating the symptoms while avoiding the root cause is absurd. The only real response to the refugees displaced by the Islamic State is to put aside partisan differences and offer a firm, unequivocal and determined effort to eradicate the perpetrators of civil violence in Syria.

A true solution to the Syrian problem may require uncomfortable decisions. To ignore the need to actively contend for stability in Syria is vacuous and inhumane.

Brendon Johnson, Courtenay

Something must be done at alleviate traffic problems

Dear editor, The current Rezoning Application RZ 15-5 for the 221 Glacier View Drive location in Comox should not be approved under any circumstances for the following reasons: 1. We have an OCP, Bylaw 1685 p.117 in place for a reason. Any developer has a right to apply for rezoning but not simply based on economics when it adds to the public cost for infrastructure due to traffic and safety.

2. Traffic ‘rush’ along Comox Road and Glacier View Drive has increased considerably since the paving upgrades

in the immediate block area on Glacier View Drive between Comox Road and Strathcona Crescent. More properties have been placed on the market for development with many trees being removed with each sale.

3. Glacier View Drive does not accommodate street parking, nor should it, given the increased volume of traffic during business hours and the essential access streets for emergency vehicles.

4. Added to this traffic congestion is the speed rate in the area (50 km/h means some go 60 km/h). This makes it difficult for residents bordering Glacier View Drive and all traffic turning in both directions onto Comox Road, from the densely populated “Harbour Wood” Properties, via Aitkin and Alpine Streets.

I suggest the following action to aid with the existing problem of increased traffic flow when viewing this application. Council should be taking a more systemic look at any development application, now and for the future, related to congestion and safety concerns.

Independent of this application, something must be done to alleviate the existing traffic problems in the area. I would suggest immediate investiture for 1) a traffic light on Comox Road at the first entrance to the parking area at St. Joseph’s along with 2) a relocated crosswalk; not at Rodello Street where ambulances need quick access.

The current location of the bus shelter on the hospital side of the road presents an ongoing pedestrian safety risk when BC Transit bus #4 stops to on/off load passengers. Regardless of the new hospital location off Ryan Road, St. Joseph’s will continue to be a significant traffic destination in Comox.

Raise a Reader campaign in full swing ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

The idea behind the Raise-a-Reader campaign is to empower children, adults, seniors and new immigrants with tools to improve reading skills.

This month marks the third year of raising funds to support local literacy programs and activities. Last year — through sponsorship, donations, fundraisers and a newspaper exchange — the Comox Valley raised more than $20,000.

“That was matched by the Ministry of Education for another $10,000,” said Danielle Hoogland, literacy outreach co-ordinator at the Comox Valley Lifelong Learning Association. “We would love to be able to raise that amount again.”

The first two campaigns generated more than $40,000, and the ministry kicked in another $25,000.

“It’s never a guarantee,” Hoogland said of government funding. “It’s incredible bang for our buck. The more we can raise locally the more we can receive from the ministry. We really do a big push this entire month, and every dollar we received in the past has been in part matched. We’re hoping for the same again this year.”

This year, the provincial government has contributed trouble with reading, they’ll use an excuse…They’ve $500,000 to Raise-a-Reader programs around B.C. had this secret their whole life that they can’t read very “As always, it’s really valuable, not just the monies well and want to improve their reading.

Clinical Trial Results

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles • Increases Skin Elasticity • Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

BUSINESS Social enterprise leader speaks The #WeAreYQQ Project hosts Joel Solomon Sept. 28 and 29 for two events called Localizing Prosperity.

Solomon is recognized as a North American leader in the social enterprise field that is revamping how we buy and how we invest as part of a community economic development shift.

"We all want to see our tax dollars working smarter. We all want our business, government and NGO sectors working together. We all want our communities getting more benefit from how we buy and how we invest," says event organizer Hans Peter Meyer (HPM). "Joel is a leader in making this happen. Our local panelists show that there are people exploring some of the tools he and others are developing."

Solomon is president of Renewal Partners and chairman of Renewal Funds in Vancouver. He serves as a senior advisor with RSF Social Finance and speaks frequently throughout North America, including a 2012 TEDxVancouver talk.

A founding member of Social Venture Network, Business for Social Responsibility and the Tides Canada Foundation, Solomon is also board chair of Hollyhock.

In a Forbes business magazine interview hs says, “We need to enable and encourage private enterprise to build the new businesses, technologies and industries that will replace our current methods — many of which are unsustainable at best and wantonly destructive at worst.”

Social enterprise offers a number of ways for communities large and small to start making that shift happen. Who needs to attend?

“People who are working with financial tools — investors, bankers, Credit Union CEOs and staff,” says HPM. “Social enterprise is also about engaging local NGOs and local governments to create win-

win relationships that also win for community."

He hopes Valley mayors and councils, and non-profits, will attend.

"If you’re working on affordable housing, seniors’ issues, environmental issues — you’re part of the mix that’s making shift happen.”

While the events focus on the Comox Valley, HPM is inviting neighbouring communities to par-

ticipate.

"Having Joel visit our region is a tremendous opportunity," says Sandra Hamilton, one of the Localizing Prosperity panelists and architect of several recent social enterprise solutions. "Joel – along with former prime minister Paul Martin – is one of Canada's top two people when it comes to social finance."

Localizing Prosperity with Joel Solomon:

New Tools for Local Economic Development includes an evening panel at the art gallery on Sept 28, and a daytime workshop on Sept 29.

Panelists include Michael Colclough, Megan Halstead, Meaghan Cursons and Hamilton.

The Bollywood Masala Orchestra and Dancers are performing at the Sid Williams Theatre on Sept. 26.

Spirit of India set to energize the Sid Mark Allan Special to The Record

Passionate music, exhilarating dancing, colourful clothing, and eye-catching acrobatics.

It all adds up to the Spirit of India, a production by the Bollywood Masala Orchestra and Dancers that promises to be one of the most energizing shows ever performed at the Sid Williams Theatre.

Coming to the Comox Valley from a European tour, the 16-performer ensemble appears Sept. 26 at the Sid, part of the Blue Circle Series.

Founder and artistic director Rahis Bharti provided details during a phone interview from Germany.

Born in Jaipur, Bharti estimates he has shared the culture of the northwest Indian province of Rajasthan in 1,000 concerts in 85 countries in the past 14 years.

That includes his earlier groups the Dhoad Gypsies from Rajasthan and the Jai-

pur Maharaja Brass Band. about 40 shows in Europe.

certs for 14 years making audiences happy encourages him to overcome the challenges of international travel.

While his troupe can bend about many things while away from their homeland, there is one subject where compromise is not an option.

“We never make compromises with food. If we are going to other countries, we always put in our technical rider (in performance contracts) that we need Indian food.”

In case they play in smaller communities without access to Indian food ingredients, orchestra members bring their own Indian chili peppers, he said.

The Bollywood Masala Orchestra and Dancers perform Sept. 26 at the Sid Williams Theatre in Courtenay. For details and tickets, visit sidwilliamstheatere. com, phone 250-338-2430 or visit the Sid box office at 442 Cliffe Ave. in Courtenay.

blues, and includes not only timeless classics but original tracks. Tommy Banks, one of Johnny’s musical icons, collaborated with Johnny on this album and gave Johnny an experience unlike any other. The Sept. 24 concert will be based on the music of this triple Global Music Award winning album. Accompanying Summers will be Nanaimo pianist James Darling.

If you like the music of Harry Connick Jr., Oscar Peterson and Chet Baker then you will love Johnny Summers – he sounds like Harry Connick Jr., Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Chet Baker, Wynton Marsalis. This is a performance you won’t want to miss.

Thursday night jazz at the Avalanche is becoming increasingly more and more popular, so plan to arrive early to ensure you get a good seat.

Johnny Summers, one of Canada’s best kept jazz secrets, will be performing at the Avalanche Bar and Grill in Courtenay on Thursday, Sept. 24 as part of his Piano Sessions Live Vancouver Island Tour. The Georgia Straight Jazz Society is delighted to be sponsors of this show.

This multi-faceted musician – trumpeter, vocalist, composer, educator, to name but a few – is no stranger to the music scene.

Growing up in Calgary, Johnny discovered his love of jazz at the age of 11 when he heard Harry Connick Jr’s “Blue Light, Red Light” album. “The life, connection and humanity inspired something inside of me that fueled my passion for jazz.”

As an educator and performer, Johnny understands the importance for continued study, and this has led him to Vancouver, Toronto, New York, New Orleans and beyond.

These travels allowed him to continue his musical mastery through associations with Wynton Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon, Bobby Shew, John Faddis, Maria Schneider, Dee Daniels and Tommy Banks.

Johnny’s quest for mastery has led him to become one of the first call musicians in the Canadian jazz

SPORTS Riptide U16 boys split season opening doubleheader The VIPL’s Under16 Marine Harvest Riptide U16 boys soccer team started their 2015-2016 season with a doubleheader against two strong Lower Island teams.

Saturday, Sept.

12 the boys played Bays/PFC/JdeF at Pinecrest field in Campbell River.

Coming off a second-place finish at the BC Provincial Championships in July and a subsequent long, well-deserved break in August, the Riptide looked a little rusty but made up for that fact by playing smart and with tenacity.

Jay Grenier’s stellar play was definitely the highlight as the Port Hardy native scored the team’s two goals in their 2-1 win.

The second game of the weekend saw the Riptide travel to Victoria to meet Gorge/ Lakehill at Braefoot.

Without much of a bench (four Riptide players were nursing injuries), having to travel, and likely tired from the previous day’s contest, Sunday’s game was disappointing for

details.

The Marine Harvest Upper Island Riptide U16 boys soccer team plays in the Vancouver Island Premier League (VIPL).

The VIPL consists of high-level teams

from Lower Island Soccer Association and Upper Island Soccer Association.

The U16 team is comprised of players from the Comox Valley, Campbell River, Quadra Island, Pow-

ell River, and Port Hardy.

This team has made the provincials every year since joining the league – winning the crown in 2014 and placing second in 2015.

Riptide’s Dawson Kipp and a Bays/PFC/JdeF player keep their eyes on the ball.

Strathcona Nordics enjoy dryland training Fantastic weather and a great training location at Miracle Beach Provincial Park in Black Creek made for an excellent dryland training camp for the Strathcona Nordic Ski Club.

From Sept. 11-13, 43 athletes ranging in age from eight to 58, participated in a variety of activities including roller skiing skills, a

time trial, strength training and the new and popular large group game of bone collector.

Bone collector is a gigantic game of continuous tag where each athlete receives a popsicle stick or ‘bone’, but with someone else’s name on it, and the athlete attempts to ‘tag’ that person. When an athlete is tagged, the tag-

ger then collects their bones.

The athlete with the most bones at the end is the winner.

With a good section of the paved campground roads closed to traffic, athletes enjoyed an ideal venue for perfecting roller skiing technique as well as lots of forested terrain for our annual group games.

Johnson, Katherine passed away peacefully at the Comox Valley Seniors Village on September 15, 2015.

She was predeceased by Husband Arthur Johnson in 2003, and by parents Jacob and Sara (nee Enns) Martens.

Her siblings; Sister Erna (George deceased) Thiessen, Brothers Henry (deceased) and wife Anne still alive, Jake (Sarah) and John (Susan), Brother-in-law Roy Johnson (Minnie) and one Daughter Verna (Wayne) Llemky.

The light of her life – grandson, Brad McEwen whom she looked after every summer during his growing up years. Several other special grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who we were very close to in our younger years.

Kay was born in Graysville, Manitoba. The family resided there until she was about 15 when they moved to the beautiful Fraser Valley. The family struggled and worked very hard in the depression and they all became quite successful because they are all hard working, caring and generous folks. Mom graduated from MEI in Abbotsford. She then took her nursing degree at Royal Columbian Hospital and graduated in 1951. She took on her first job in Cranbrook and met and married Art there. Mom worked in many towns in British Columbia, mostly in the OR and ER until she retired at 65. She took a brief hiatus from nursing to own a florist shop in Revelstoke where there was only shift work in the hospital and she could not adjust to that so dad bought her a business. She kept a very strong connection with her nursing classmates for most of her life.

Mom spent her whole life helping others. After she retired, she immediately started volunteering for Hospice on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake where there were no doctors. In 1996, mom and dad moved to Comox to be closer to us. As soon as she got here, she volunteered at the Filberg Lodge. Mom also looked after my dad for 10 years of ill health and when he passed away in 2003, she moved to live next to St. Josephs General Hospital. She fed the residents every day at lunch and dinner for several years. She was enjoying life to the fullest with walking, knitting, taking in plays with friends and helping in the hospital. So sadly, that fun time of her life was very short. She was run over by a car when she was in a crosswalk and was never able to live independently again.

After long months of rehab, mom lived in Berwick for several years.

When she was needing more help, she moved over to the Comox Valley Seniors’ Village. In both residences, the staff and other residents became like a family to mom and to her daughter as well. Kay’s family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff in both buildings she lived for their caring and sharing. Mom had her own family “care giver� at CVSV that was the epitome of perfection at her profession.

Mom fought through many serious illnesses and accidents in her life and never complained but she finally just got tired of being so tough. Two very special ladies helped her through this phase, taking her for drives and walks and ice cream. They gave mom many wonderful hours of enjoyment. She was very fortunate to have Eda and Anne as friends.

Kay did not like to be in the limelight or have any fanfare for her. Therefore, the family will respect her wishes that there be no service. She will be cremated and her ashes will join her husband and other family members. Donations to the charity of your choice in her name would be greatly appreciated.

David (Joe) Cummings

May 15, 1945 ~ September 7th, 2015 It is with great sadness in my heart to announce the peaceful passing of Joe Cummings on September 7th, 2015 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, BC. Joe was born in Brandon, Manitoba on May 15, 1945.

At the age of three his family moved and settled in Powell River, BC where he called home for over 50 years.

During that time, with his perseverance, entrepreneurial drive and love for the community, he had much to be proud of.

In 1965 Joe gained distributorship of Canada Dry then shortly after took on Coca Cola. He took pride in swapping out friends “inferior“ pop with his own brands, even in their own homes. It was comical.

During this time he also managed the Beach Gardens Drive In Theatre for three seasons where at times he ran the projector and back then, this WAS a big deal.

In 1967, at the age of 22, he was recognized as the youngest alderman in Canada. During that same year he was President of Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce), a Moose Lodge member, and on the Executive (Political Affairs) Committee with the Chamber of Commerce.

His dedication to Rotary for 20+ years, including being President, will not be forgotten.

Joe will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Joelle (Terry), siblings Hank (Mary), Ernie (Doris), Barbara (Dave), Winston & Brenda (Tim) as well as numerous nieces & nephews.

A public Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday Nov 28th in Powell River, BC. Exact location & time TBA.

KLEIN, Meinhard Henry 1936 ~ 2015 It is with sorrow the family announces the passing of Meinhard Henry Klein.

Meinhard was born in Vernon B.C. February 25, 1936 and passed away on September 17, 2015 in Comox, BC. Predeceased by his parents Al and Albena, and brother Arvend.

He is survived by his wife of 58 years Charlene (nĂŠe Gunter); children Sue Guitard(Mario), Myrna Howarth (Andrew), Wendel Klein, Mike Klein; four grandsons Colin & Greg Howarth, Daryl & Darren Klein; brothers Harold (Gail), Verner (Doreen); 2 nieces and 2 nephews.

Meinhard was raised at Fanny Bay, where he developed a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors. He enjoyed many camping, hunting and ďŹ shing trips. For many years he enjoyed being a meat cutter for Super Valu. He was active with local youth as a coach of badminton, soccer and fastball. He had a strong belief in community service. He was a life member of the Courtenay Fish & Game Club, spending many hours working to conserve our ďŹ sh and streams. He enjoyed the comradeship of the fellow members of the conservation team.

The family would like to thank Dr. Musgrave & Dr. Gee for the many years of dedicated care.

"A life that touches others goes on forever."

Warren has gone to join his soulmate. We lost a dear parent, grandparent, brother, uncle and friend on September 8, 2015.

Warren was predeceased by his father Lorne in 1969, mom Minnie in 1989, sister Laurine 1952 and his partner of 40 years, Martha (Leswick) Campbell in 2013.

Warren is survived by his five children: his only daughter Ruth (Nigel); his 4 sons, Bruce (Carol), Brian, Roger (Cindy) and Murray, 2 grandchildren, Shelby and Darren and two greatgrandchildren Lee and Evelyn.

He is also survived by his brother John (Joan) Campbell and his niece Dana Gerry and family. John and his wife live in Brantford, Ontario.

Warren is also survived by his extended family which includes Martha’s only daughter Geraldine (Ken). Two granddaughters, Constance (Connie) and Marsha and is great-grandpa to Taylor, Brendan and Tyson.

Warren left home to join the military in 1942 where he was a flight engineer during WWII as a spotter on the Catalinas. He then continued his time in the military for another 20 years where he worked in military transport and during this time had postings to Hamilton, North Bay, White Horse and Comox.

Warrens post military career was the School District 71 and was with them for 20 years. He was in charge of painting.

Warren came to the Comox Valley in 1958. He lived for a short while in Union Bay and in 1960 built a house on Cooke Avenue in Comox where he stayed till 2013 when he relocated to Casa Loma retirement home. Due to declining health, Warren entered Glacier View Lodge on February 12, 2015.

We would like to thank all the staff at Glacier View for the wonderful care he received, the staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Casa Loma and especially Dr. Desmond Konway.

We would also like to send a special thank you to Jim Hume for his faithful visits.

LOST AND FOUND

GEORGE RAYMOND STECKO

June 11, 1987 - September 2, 2015 My darling daughter passed away in her sleep September 2nd in Red Deer, Alberta at the age of 28. She was predeceased by her father Jacques Picard, Grandpapa Picard, Grandad Simonen and Uncle Richie.

Stephanie had a dream to become a Social Worker and in May 2015 that dream came true, she graduated with her Masters degree in Social Work specialization: Clinical Social Work Practice she was so proud as we all were.

Stephanie worked in many jobs the most rewarding being those that revolved around helping people, working in a group home, caring for Noah and working in the school system as a counsellor while completing her Masters. Stephanie had just started full time as school social worker, she was so excited.

Stephanie met so many people in her short life, she was so loved where ever she went, she touched so many lives.

Stephanie leaves behind her “Mommy� Linda Simonen, Jim Wilson (who adored her), her sister Courtney Picard (Paul) her cherished nephew Oliver, her other sisters Deb (Wilson) and Lisa (Marvin) and extended family, her Grandma Simonen, Grandmama Picard and her Aunts and Uncles and cousins from BC to Quebec. And so many friends.

I will miss you sooooo much baby girl, we all will.

Love you always xoxo.

There will be a “Light up the Night Sky� celebration for Stephanie on October 17th, check Facebook for details. Family gathering at a later date.

This years winner is HOWARD SHANKS of Courtenay The 2015 WestJet draw took place Sunday September 13th at the CVTC annual general meeting held at Anderton courts.

This draw was the most successful and the funds will be targeted to promote Community Tennis in the Comox Valley and support tennis related projects with the Town of Comox and the City of Courtenay.

We thank everyone for their support this year.

I’m really hoping people enjoy a social outing with their friends and stay for a coffee and a muffin.�

It’s a free event and all is welcome. For more information call Courtenay Recreation’s Filberg office at 250-338-1000 or check out the website evergreenclub.me

The Evergreen Club’s Fall Garage Sale takes place Saturday, Sept. 26 from 9 a.m.-noon in the downstairs Rotary Hall of the Florence Filberg Centre.

The Evergreen Club is a 55 and better club that provides a wide range of activities and programs. This fundraising event will surely bring bargain hunters together, so spread the word. “There’s so many volunteers that help put on a sale like this,� says Deanne McRae, Evergreen Club volunteer co-ordinator, “It takes a lot of helping hands and we always hope for a good turn out.�

Typically you will find books, clothing, jewellery, kitchen ware, and so much more. The kitchen will be open for some well-priced treats and for parking it is suggested to use the lot below on Anderton Avenue.

First time convenor for the sale,
