EMPIRE DAYS BACK
SPRING FINALLY SPRUNG People took advantage of warm weekend weather to get out for a Walk and Wheel-A-Thon Saturday morning at the Courtenay Airpark. Active Comox Valley sponsored the event. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK Empire Days are one of the longestrunning community events in B.C. and are a proud tradition in the life of Cumberland. From its inception the main focus for Empire Days has been celebration of Cumberland’s cultural diversity. Cumberland’s working mining town history is one built on immigration. Encircling downtown Cumberland are former town sites of Chinese, Japanese and African American immigrant workers. ... Complete story on ■ 34

Patients frustrated by bedside terminals
34, 35
St. Joseph’s General Hospital patients frustrated by problems with St. Joe’s entertainment and communication technology may feel some relief soon. Health Resource Group (HRG) Inc. installed the equipment for free as a pilot project in fall of 2010. The 160 touch-pad personal access terminals include television, Internet, entertainment such as movies and games, telephone,
a customer satisfaction survey, an option for ordering food with a menu based on the patient’s needs and a call nurse button, which uses a video connection. However, HRG CEO Ken Grant said the system’s had some issues, noting crews were set to come out Tuesday, after the Record’s deadline, to do some work. “We just had a conversation with the CFO (chief financial officer) of the hospital and apprised him of the whole thing,” Grant said Monday. “Our team is going over there tomorrow to stabilize the existing system as it is, and we’ll be doing some upgrades and we’ll be also setting it up for us to be able to move the entire program toward the scalable system that we know will work.”
Grant said part of the problem is when too many patients choose to watch one channel, citing a Canuck hockey game as an example. If the demand on one channel is too high, it will shut down that channel for all users. Bill Stevenson went into St. Joe’s for surgery at the end of April, and was there for nine days. During those days, Stevenson was frustrated by the system. He said the phone option wouldn’t work, only a handful of television channels worked and he couldn’t sign into his e-mail account. When Stevenson tried to check his e-mail, he found there was no option to type an exact website address in. Further, using the Internet browsing options, he was unable to bring up his Shaw
account sign-in page. He noted the movie selection was quite good, but if he accidentally bumped the touch screen during viewing it would go back to the beginning of the movie and the fast forward option was very slow, with only one minute of advances for each tap of the screen. Then, the system shut off completely a few days into Stevenson’s stay and did not come back while he was there. Stevenson also said a man who was sharing the room with him had been in the hospital for a couple of months and the system had been intermittently working the entire time he was there. Grant admitted the system has ... see HRG ■ 2

HRG rumour untrue had a variety of problems. “It’s different issues, it could be the phone, it could be the Internet, it could be the access with regard to the television delivery, the station selection,” said Grant. “It’s been a number of different things, but that’s what prototypes are all about.” He noted work on the system has been ongoing and it has been free to users since December. “Until we’re satisfied with stability we’re not going to expect the patients to be paying anything,” said Grant. “We’ve had some customers that paid for services, then found out afterwards they didn’t need to, so they’ve had to be reimbursed.” He added only about one or two people have had to be reimbursed per month. Stevenson said prices listed on posters at the hospital are $2.95 for an hour, $8.95 for three hours, or $149.95 for a month. He did not pay. He also said he asked hospital staff about what was going on with the system, and the majority of the people he asked did not seem to know. Grant said he hopes to have the issues cleared up quickly. “It could be as soon as 30 days — it could take us 90 in total for everything — but the stability in the hos-

pital will probably be in a much better position within the next 30 days,” he said. The Record heard a rumour from an anonymous source that HRG is facing bankruptcy,
which Grant said is not true, noting the company underwent some internal staffing restructuring recently. “There’s a couple of disgruntled people that we laid off — as a result of it we’re in the process of doing a thorough audit of all their activities,” said Grant, adding past staff could be the source of the rumours. “Obviously, there’s a few disgruntled people that get their noses out of joint when they were terminated.” St. Joseph’s could not provide comment Tuesday. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

City taxes confirmed Record Staff Courtenay council gave final approval to this year’s budget and property tax rates Monday. Rates were calculated using a commercial tax rate multiplier of 2.85 — down from 2.9 last year. The residential tax rate is 3.3 for every $1,000 of taxable value, and the business tax rate is 9.4 for every $1,000, according to the bylaw.
Water and sewer user rates have also gone up by two per cent overall this year, but a shift in the structure of water rates to increase unmetered water rates and decrease metered water rates has continued in an effort to make the rates more fair for metered customers. Tax notices will be mailed out to Courtenay property owners soon and taxes are due at the beginning of July.

‘Bad guys’ make training realistic Erin Haluschak Record Staff
They normally take to the skies in times of need, but all this week, the sky over the Comox Valley will be filled with F-18 fighter jets as they continue specialized training at 19 Wing Comox. Fifteen jets, along with 26 pilots and technicians for a total of 150 personnel from across Canada, are deployed to the base for a fighter weapons instructor course. “We’re conducting primarily air-to-ground strike training. We have a series of sea-related targets out in the airspace and over the mountains out near Williams Lake. We’re upgrading pilots ... as well we have Alpha Jets that are supporting us, that are contracted air support along with our own F-18s ... performing the role of enemy forces,” explained Lieut.-Col. Daniel McLeod. “So what we’ll do is plan

a mission with some targets in mind, fly and fight our way in against the adversary air, strike the targets, and fight our way back out again. In doing so, we’re upgrading our pilots, different statues; so far, it’s been fantastic.” McLeod added the jets have most recently been used in Libya, and all of the strike action the military have conducted there is a direct result of the training, whether at Comox or other military bases at Cold Lake or Bagotville. “The training is to hone our skills, to make us much more capable and combatready and able to conduct

a mission,” he said. The Alpha Jets — contracted by Top Aces Canada — are playing the role of the ‘bad guys’ in the training, noted McLeod. “They can carry electronic-warfare-type jamming equipment, which the navy and ourselves use to simulate enemy aircraft that have jamming capability, but they are also capable of simulating other type of aircraft and it gives us an opportunity to put enemy aircraft out there as opposed to using F-18s as enemy aircraft,” he explained. Capt. Larry Golja, officer in command of the fighter weapons instructor
course, said skills learned during training are used to hone the pilots’ skill set, and gives them the opportunity to work with other branches of the military. The training simulates ‘real life’ situations as much as possible, he added. “We fly as much with ordinance on board to give the guys ... the opportunity to feel, smell what it actually feels like to engage in combat. To give them that realism, so when it actually happens, they’re not second-guessing their systems or their training,” he explained. “Everybody who puts the patch on our shoulders — the fighter weapons instructor patch — there’s quite a bit on our shoulders with regards of what’s expected of us. When they go to their units, they’ll be looked upon for tactical leadership and guidance.” Training will continue at 19 Wing three times a day until May 18.

Survey about new stat holiday
Recognition for local nurse Comox resident Helen Boyd was among the 45 nurses recognized for excellence recently at the annual College of Registered Nurses of B.C. (CRNBC) awards ceremony in Vancouver. Boyd has long advocated for the homeless population, which faces a wide range of risk factors for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and other diseases. Helen helps homeless individuals overcome barriers to medical care, such as not having a phone or fixed address. Her present focus goes back to a needs assessment study of homeless people in the Comox Valley in 2007. After helping to form a non-profit society called Dawn to Dawn and obtain-
ing community support, she launched the Care-A-Van, a mobile platform for delivering community health care. The Care-A-Van is now under the auspices of the new Comox Bay Care Society. The Care-A-Van provides free health care services, free hygiene supplies, one-on-one health counselling, assistance with eye examinations and dental needs and all of this work is done on a volunteer basis. This front-line approach has helped to reduce the cost of providing care, since it reduces the need for emergency room visits. To date, more than 20 health-care practitioners are volunteering for this innovative outreach initiative.

A management plan is being finalized as part of a conservation covenant to protect the Cumberland Community Forest, which consists of two parcels totaling 71 hectares owned by the Village. The woods contain remnants of mines and logging roads dating back to the 19th century. They also contain a vast multi-use trail network used by hikers and mountain bikers. The challenge is to balance ecosystem protection with the enjoyment of park users. The covenant precludes the building of new trails and manmade structures such as bridges but does not prevent mountain biking on the trail network.

School district cutbacks loom Renée Andor Record Staff
School District 71 is facing a funding shortfall of just over $1.1 million — making cutbacks likely. Although this shortfall is not as large as the estimated $1.2 to $1.7 million shortfall SD71 director of finance Ron Amos said was possible at April’s school board meeting, the $1.1 million shortfall has prompted the finance committee to suggest cutbacks. The proposed operating budget is “laying out our plan to make reductions to offset that shortfall,” said SD71 secretary treasurer Russell Horswill, adding the budget will come before the Board of Education Tuesday. Ten per cent reductions to field trip budgets, course fees and supply budgets, and a fiveper-cent reduction to library resources are some suggested cuts. Some suggested staffing cuts include: half a full-time equiva-
lent (FTE) daily physical activity position, 2.5 FTE education assistants, half of a FTE challenge program position, one daytime custodial position, and a journeyman carpenter position, along with a reduction of two groundskeeping positions from 12 months per year to eight months per year. Horswill noted seven FTE teaching positions have already been cut based on the projected enrolment numbers, so do not show up in these suggested cuts. According to the proposed operating budget, these reductions add up to $752,500 saved, which means the district would also have to use about $362,000 of its $2.4-million operating reserve to obtain a balanced budget. Declining enrolment is one reason for the shortfall. Fullday kindergarten added about 250 FTE over the past two years while it was being implemented, but now that it’s fully operational within the district, the full effect of the enrolment
decline is being felt. Also, funding protection — which ensured districts received the same funding as the previous year regardless of enrolment levels — has been reduced, and this year the district will receive 98.5 per cent of the previous year’s funding. Funding to courses for graduated adults from the Education Guarantee was also eliminated this year, making total funding from the Education Guarantee about $300,000. Last year, the district received about $950,000 from the Education Guarantee. The district does expect to receive about $900,000 from the new Learning Improvement Fund. The proposed 2012/13 budget will come up Tuesday for a vote. Horswill noted public consultation and consultation with partner groups is now complete. The Board of Education meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the School Board offices at 607 Cumberland Rd. in Courtenay. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Cumberland traffic to be calmed Village has received numerous complaints about Kendal Avenue Record Staff Cumberland council gave the green light Monday to implement the first phase of a plan to calm traffic at Kendal Avenue. The Village has received numerous complaints about speeding vehicles, problem intersections, and a lack of a pedestrian network and bicycle lanes in the neighbourhood. Traffic calming measures will include the volunteer-driven Speed Watch program and/or a
mobile radar board. Village staff will participate in neighbourhood meetings to initiate the program, monitor activities and assess the results. The Village will also post 30 km/h maximum and Children Playing signage on streets in the Coal Valley Phase 2 and 3 subdivisions. Homeowners will also have the option of posting a bright orange 30 km/h sign on their property. If Phase 1 proves ineffective, additional measures such as speed humps at walkway connections will be considered. Speed humps — raised areas of roadways intended to slow traffic — cost between $2,000 to $5,500 each and about $120
per year to maintain. Staff recommends installing the humps before construction of the proposed 27 lots in Phase 4 of the Coal Valley project. Kendal Avenue is designated as a ‘future local collector’ in a master plan for Cumberland roads. It could be considered as a future bus route, following a BC Transit review in the fall. There are no stop signs on Kendal from Third to Egremont Street, where there is a threeway stop. The lack of traffic calming measures provides an opportunity for motorists to increase speed until the stop sign at Third Street. The high speed safety issue is compounded by parked cars.

many new faces joining in this year.” Boomer’s Bike Ride unofficially began in 2007 by one military member who rode from Victoria to Comox with the aim of building greater awareness of the Foundation. Since then, the event has grown steadily in the number of participants, pledges and donations. To date, Boomer’s Bike Rides have raised more than $125,000. The Boomer’s Bike Ride also serves to honour military members who have given their lives while serving in Afghanistan. Each cyclist will ride in memory of two fallen soldiers, displaying a picture and bio on their bike. At the finish line on the Victoria legislative grounds, cyclists will place their respective soldiers’ card upon a memorial wall that will be erected temporarily for the B.C. Bike Ride ceremony. Cyclists can register online at www.boomerslegacy.ca. For those who are not keen to cycle but still wish to be a part of this inspirational event, Boom-

Nanaimo visit sparks wartime memory While visiting the feature exhibit of the Alberni Project in honour of the Battle of the Atlantic commemoration, Irma Derry was surprised recently to see her photo included in the presentation, which depicts the events leading to the Second World War. Irma related that she and her husband Jack had ridden their bikes down to a park in Winnipeg for their final day together before he shipped off to serve in the war. She could still remember the smell of the newly mowed grass and the fun they had as they kept trading places with the camera. When asked if she enjoyed being referred to as “the prettiest girl
with a smile. Her photo was chosen from several photos and artifacts that have been donated for use by the Alberni Project in presentations related to the memorial tribute to those who served Canada in the Second World War. HMCS Alberni was a wartime Canadian Flower Class Corvette named for Port Alberni on Vancouver Island. The Alberni Project is a privately funded program operated by Lewis Bartholomew of Courtenay dedicated to preserving the his-

You can help‘vibrant young woman’ Caitlyn McKinnon Record Staff
Comox Valley residents are invited to help local youngster Amethyst Hamersley – and thousands of others affected by the fatal genetic disease – battle cystic fibrosis. Play It Again Music Recycle, behind the Beachwood Café at 106-2270 Cliffe Ave., will host an afternoon barbecue May 19 to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Drop by between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to buy a burger or hot dog supplied by the Butcher’s Block; your lunch will support research to find a cure or effective control for cystic fibrosis. The barbecue kicks off Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s largest annual fundraising event, Great Strides. Along with her team, Amethyst’s Gemstones, Hamersley will take

To learn more about the annual event, visit www.cysticfibrosis.ca/greatstrides. Emily Wisden, owner of Play It Again Music
Recycle, offers Hamersley enthusiastic praise for her efforts. Hamersley, who will turn 13 this June, “is one of the most vibrant young women” Wisden has ever encountered. “She loves hockey and plays all kinds of sports … She’s my total
inspiration for this,” says Wisden. Hamersley works hard to maintain her health; in addition to building her physical fitness, she follows a strict, daily regimen of physiotherapy and antibiotic treatments to ward off lung infections. Cystic fibrosis is a currently incurable, multi-organ disease primarily affecting the lungs and digestive tract. The illness forces mucus to build up in the lungs, causing increasingly severe respiratory problems. Virtually all cystic fibrosis-related deaths are due to lung disease. Mucus and protein also accumulate in the digestive system, impairing the body’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients in food. Cystic fibrosis sufferers must consequently consume digestive enzymes (about 20 pills daily) to avoid
Pennies help to fight child cancer The Canadian penny is going out of circulation in the fall. Why not make good use of them while you can by donating them in May to the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program? All the donations received will go to support the Fellowship Training and Research program at the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. The funds will directly benefit the well-being of children with an emphasis on research related to childhood cancer. The division of pediatric oncology, hematology and bone marrow transplants offers a high-quality training program to provide trainees with skills in all aspects of clinical oncology, hematology
and research. They are preparing future pediatric oncologists and hematologists who will represent the clinical work force and investigators in the first quarter of the 21st century. By contributing to the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program, supported by the Kiwanis Clubs of Courtenay and Comox, you will help to advance the promising and vital work of researchers who are internationally renowned for their contributions to oncology research. Donation jars can be found at locations that include: CIBC at Driftwood Mall and in downtown Courtenay, Appletree Grocery, Square 1 Travel, Willemar Grocery, MLA Don McRae’s office,

malnutrition. Research has done much for those living with cystic fibrosis. A child diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in the 1960s was not expected to live beyond kindergarten. When Hamersley was born, the average expected life span was 20. Today, thanks to advances in nutrition, antibiotic, and physical therapy, sufferers of cystic fibrosis are living into their 40s and beyond. Approximately 3,500 Canadians are battling the disease.

‘Evacuees’ needed for‘disaster’
HANNAH AND JESSICA from Navigate (NIDES) proudly display their work at the seventh annual Heritage Fair at CFB Comox.
Going back to the past Students from across School District 71 once again demonstrated excellence as they displayed their diverse knowledge and pride in Canadian heritage at the seventh annual Canadian Heritage Fair. Held recently in the gymnasium of the 19 Wing Fitness and Community Centre, this event featured over 225 projects. Topics presented this year covered a diverse span of Canadian heritage ranging from history, to sports, arts, science, innovation and First Nations heritage. Projects were prepared by students from as young as Grade 3 to those preparing to graduate this spring. Senior level projects were submitted this year by students of Navigate (NIDES) and Highland Secondary Schools with Highland Secondary students taking home the lion’s share of the bursaries and prizes totalling over $3,000 in value from generous local organizations and individuals. MP John Duncan granted the MP Award (a trip to Ottawa for Encounters with Canada) to Lindsey Macdonald and Madie Hyrcha for their project on cel-
ebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. North Island College offered two awards of $250 NIC credit. The NIC Award for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics was awarded to Trenton Cameron and Callum Thomas, while Jeremy Lyster of Navigate (NIDES) received the NIC History Prize for his project on the Fenian Raids. MLA Don McRae donated an award received by Amy Walsh for her project on the Environment and Local Businesses. Aboriginal Awards went to Kaya Leslie and Megan Ellis. The 888 (Komox) RCAF Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada donated two $250 bursaries related to military aviation. These were awarded to Trenton Cameron, Callum Thomas and Hugh Park. Park also won the Vintage Wings bursary and the Navy League Award for his project on Canadian Sub Hunters. The Wing Commander’s Shield for best project related to military history was awarded to Anthony Dean-Boucher and Jacob Coats, while the Soroptimist prizes for best projects related to women went to Anna
Gummer and Megan Ellis. While a number of the Elementary level awards are yet to be announced, 33 students were named to a team that represented SD 71 at the Regional Heritage Fair in Port Alberni. — School District 71
Help is available to people forced from their homes after an emergency or disaster. Comox Valley Emergency Support Services is a group of about 60 volunteers supported by local governments and the Province who are trained and ready to provide emergency support when needed. For small-scale events such as an individual house fire, a team of two or three ESS volunteers will attend the scene and provide for the shortterm needs of those affected, including arranging accommodation, food, clothing and other necessities. At this level, support is very personal. For larger emergencies such as flooding, an apartment fire or an interface fire; ESS sets up a reception centre that evacuees can go to. This is a safe place where information is
provided, families and friends can be reunited, first aid and emotional support are available and evacuees’ basic needs are met. A reception centre is a complicated operation. Consequently, ESS volunteers need to practise their various functions so they know
how to deliver needed services. Ongoing training and drills are useful, but a full-day exercise is by far the best way to learn. So, ESS is holding a reception centre exercise on May 19 at the Native Sons’ Hall on Cliffe Avenue in Courtenay between
9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Pretend ‘evacuees’ are needed to make the exercise as real as possible. If you would like to volunteer as an evacuee, e-mail cvess@shawcable.com. — Comox Valley Emergency Support Services

Little Big Band ready to jazz things up at the Elks With only a few weeks left in this performance season, the Georgia Straight Jazz Society is heading into a grand finale. The Little Big Band is back at the jazz club this Thursday evening. At the end of their third season together, the band’s sound has matured significantly as they play their own brand of high-energy, entertaining big band music. Little in name only, the band consists of a full five-piece sax section, which is bound to impress with their extended soli sections and fiery solos from Dave Blinzinger on alto along with tenors Mike Schwartz and Rachel Fuller. Completing the section are Susie Christensen on alto and Julie Chamberlain on baritone. This time out, the saxes will be featured on Sammy Nestico’s A Warm Breeze and Dean Sorensen’s East Avenue Stroll. Together, the section creates a lush and lovely impression. Three trumpets and four trombones complete the horn section with precise shots and lush interpretations of old and new tunes. Expect to hear beautiful renditions of the classic Bye Bye Blackbird and Bobby Shew’s Blue from trumpeters Roger Kirk and Jake Masri, along with the fine support of third trumpet Wendy Daniels. The trombones consist of Phil Cassidy, Doug Craig, Chris Freeland and Paul Nuez. They will be featured on the classic Here’s That Rainy Day. The Little Big Band has one of the most energetic rhythm sections around and this time will be no exception. Jim Chew on guitar and Dianne Cassidy on piano will provide solid comping and Jim’s brilliant soloing is always a treat. Completing the rhythm section are band director Don MacKay on bass and local favourite Dallas Carrie on drums. They have their work cut out for them in the band’s premiere
performances of Dizzy Gillespie’s A Night in Tunisia and Mongo Santamaria’s Afro Blue, which is quite a rhythmic stew. The band’s vocalist is the wonderful Amy
Lelliot, who will perform several numbers including the classics I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm and Time After Time. ••• Recently returned to
Vancouver from playing at Birdland in New York, the Jaclyn Guillou Quintet performs this Sunday evening at 7:30 at the Elks Hall. “I’m also pleased to be playing with an
international band that draws from the best jazz talent in the world,” Guillou said. “This band includes Belgian pianist Bram Weijters, New York vibraphonist Tom
Beckham, Sean Cronin on bass and Joe Poole on drums.” Tickets are available from the Society on Thursday, or at Bop City in Courtenay, and Videos N More in

Doreen Hobbs (Branch) It is with deep sadness that we share the news of our Mother’s sudden passing at her home in Courtenay, BC on Monday, May 7, 2012. Born August 22, 1921 in Blythe, Northumberland, England, Mom emigrated to Canada with her family at the age of two years to settle in the small coal mining town of Michel, BC where she spent her formative years. It was there that she also met Tommy Hobbs, the love of her life. They were married in Calgary, Alberta in 1946 then went on to make their homes and eventually raise a family in Powell River, BC. Mom was a long-time employee of the local Sears store where she enjoyed serving customers and working with her fellow staff members. Upon retiring, she and Dad relocated to Courtenay, BC to be closer to their two daughter and their families. Mom really enjoyed carpet bowling, playing Bingo and many happy years camping in the Saratoga Beach area along with family and the many new friends that they made there. Predeceased by her husband Tommy and grandson Blaire Andrews, Doreen is survived by her daughters Heather (Donald Sprout) and Mavreen Michyls; granddaughter April Andrews and six great grandchildren; Carmen, Raelynn, Levi, Jordan, Riley and Madison. We loved our Mom very much and were well loved by her in return. We will miss her greatly and are thankful for all wonderful memories she has left for us to reflect upon. At Mom’s request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to a charity of your choice.

Towhees win first-ever Island rugby title Earle Couper Record Staff
The Vanier Towhees senior girls rugby team continued their highly successful season by capturing their first-ever Vancouver Island AAA championship on the weekend. The Towhees travelled down to Brentwood College School on Saturday for the first time as the number one ranked team on the Island. Their main competition, the Cowichan Thunderbirds, were waiting for them, having defeated Port Alberni 21-5 in a qualification game earlier in the week. Winner of the previous five Island championships, all in defeat of Vanier, Cowichan was prepared to avenge their two league losses to Vanier this year (the teams split their previous four meetings). The Towhees had the early momentum as standoff Dana Beirnes executed a perfect option play up the middle of the field to split the Cowichan centres and score at the five-minute mark. Unfortunately Vanier was unable to convert and the game began to shift at that point. Vanier played tough

defence with Madi Gold, Molly Florian and Sarah Schienbein playing prominent roles, but in the final moments of the first half
Cowichan managed to score and the teams entered half time tied. In the second half the Vanier offence came to life
as Beirnes, Chelsea Tancon and Lydia Gaudry led the attack. After near misses at the try line by both Beirnes and 8-man Claire
Janssen, Samantha Rumney managed a turnover on Cowichan’s five-metre line which resulted in Gaudry touching the ball down for Vanier’s second try. While the convert was again unsuccessful, the Vanier girls fed off the momentum and Gaudry again capitalized off a tiring Cowichan defensive line to score her second try of the game off a beautiful pass from Gloria Vankerrebroek. After Tancon nailed the convert and time was ticking down, Cowichan led one final charge down the field to score a try in the last minute of the game, but it was too late as Vanier had claimed the victory with a final score of 17-12. After the match Florian was presented with the prestigious Courtenay Taffe Memorial award which recognizes the most inspirational player on the Island. Beirnes was also recognized for her efforts both on and off the field as she was awarded a Vancouver Island girls rugby bursary. The Towhees now prepare for the provincial championships in North Vancouver on May 23-26 where they will enter ranked third in the province.

‘Restless Josie’ features Crashed Ice champ Croxall How cool will it be to see two Comox Valley residents featured on the world stage? Crashed Ice cool. On Monday, May 21, CHEK 6 TV is scheduled to air an episode of ‘Restless Josie’ that features 19 Wing Comox firefighter Kyle Croxall winning the 2012 Red Bull Crashed Ice world championship in ice cross downhill racing. Josie Boulding, who grew up in Campbell River and now lives in Courtenay, created the show last year after being struck with a need to travel and a fascination with the passion of athletes who risk their lives pursuing their sport. “The 2012 ‘Restless Josie’ TV series is well underway, and my first trip was in March to Quebec City to report on the
BOULDING
Red Bull World Champion Crashed Ice Competition,” Boulding said in a news release. “This crazy sport has male and female athletes wearing full hockey gear and downhill ice skating at break-neck speed down a daredevil course. This year’s course was constructed through the hilly streets of Quebec City,”
said Boulding, who witnessed Croxall win the championship in front of 100,000 spectators. “It feels amazing,” said Croxall after winning the title. How did he do it? By getting a second place in Quebec, Croxall finished the year with 3,000 points, just 40 ahead of Finland’s Arttu Pihlainen. Croxall won an Austin Mini by securing the world title. Kyle’s brother, Scott, crashed into a wall late in the race and still secured a third. The ‘Restless Josie Crashed Ice Special’ will also cover some of the local attractions in Quebec City and take the viewer behind the scenes of the incredible world championship event. “I’ve had the opportunity to have an exciting life where I travel to amazing

p.m. on May 21. Boulding says TUFF TV will also be streaming the Crashed Ice special live on their website (www.tufftv.com) on Saturday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, May 20 at

MARIE MCCOOEY FROM Re/Max Ocean Pacific Realty presents the low gross trophy to Andrea Kosa from Calgary (left) and the low net trophy to Jean McCrea from Comox.
Perfect day for Ladies North Island The 2012 Comox Ladies North Island Golf Tournament was held Mother’s Day on a perfect day. Nate, TJ, Ernie, John and Morgan had the course in perfect shape considering the late start of spring. This event is sponsored by four women from Re/Max Ocean Pacific Realty – Marie McCooey, Jane Denham, Glenda Mosher and Lisa Jorgensen. Although there was no hole in one, the tournament is lucky to have two sponsors, The Visual Sound Store (50” plasma TV) and Canadian Western Bank ($5,000). McCooey presented the low gross and net trophies. Andrea Kosa from the Glencoe Club in Calgary won low gross with 77. Jean McCrea of the Comox Golf Club won low net in a count-back with four others with a 71. Our best story this year was tournament committee chairperson Buchan Mahon’s cart going to the practice range all by itself. The team prize was presented to Karen Todoruk, Karen Vanetta, Lorelei Banford and Carol Strachan. Following the golf game, Karen and her most efficient staff at Sprinkler’s served a delicious ham and scalloped potato dinner. Numerous local businesses provided generous sponsorship through the Hole Sponsorship Program. The tournament relies on their continued support as much as they rely on our support. Hole sponsors this year were: ShearlocksKim Jonsson: ScorpiosCheri Kahaimoe: SharOns- Sharon Anderson;

Following the horse race, the ladies enjoyed meat platters from Quality Foods and Thrifty Foods. On Sunday Extra Foods supplied fruit for the ladies. Water was supplied by Canadian Western Bank. The tournament would not be successful without all the volunteers, from ball spotters to scorekeepers: Don Vanetta, Ian Leakey and Rick Siddall for the chipping contest, Edith Albrecht for the nuts and bolts, Bernice Sutherland, Lynda Hornstein, Yvonne Higgs, Leona Stefiuk, Vicky Edwards, Marg Kelly, Doris Ellis, Yvonne Baker, Erna Wiebe, Judy Moore and Margot Hope for their expertise at the registration table. Thanks to hole spotters Hank Verdenhalven, Gus Baudais, Peg Runquist, Audrey Haughn and Jim and Val Cook. The tournament
and Nancy Riva thank all the competitors for playing in this event and encourage all to support the sponsors. – Comox Golf Club

OWEN CRUMPLER RECEIVES physical therapy.
Fundraiser for boy with CP A hot dog barbecue and bottle drive this weekend will raise funds to help a fouryear-old Comox Valley boy get treatment for cerebral palsy. The Owenpalooza fund helps support Owen Crumpler obtain a special kind of therapy called the Anat Baniel method (www.anatbanielmethod.com), the family says. Owen was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after being born prematurely at 26 weeks at St. Joseph’s Hospital. “Owen first began this therapy at nine months of age in California — we have found it is the only therapy that helps unpin and relax Owen’s tight and spastic muscles — a result of the CP,” the family adds. “The relief that this therapy gives Owen’s body is truly amazing — thanks to the help of our friends and the amazing community we live in we can continue our trips to Washington, California and Ontario so that Owen can continue getting the help he needs. There are no ABM therapists for special-needs children trained in B.C. — yet!” — Crumpler family

Cycle to Protect our Coast (CPOC) will turn heads and bike pedals in the Comox Valley as they warn citizens May 18 about an imminent threat to B.C.’s West Coast. The group, formed in response to Enbridge and Kinder Morgan’s pipeline proposals, will reach the Comox Community Centre at 1855 Noel Ave. at 2:30 p.m. to chat with Valley residents about the danger of oil spills. They also invite the public to join them on a 10-kilometre ride to Simms Millennium Park in Courtenay, where they will discuss the issue further. The event is part of a larger tour visiting several communities between Campbell River and Victoria. Fearing Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline and Kinder Morgan’s expansion proposals will come at the expense of West Coasters, CPOC will inform Islanders between May 18 and 20 of the ecological and economic hazards these projects pose. “When you love something you stand up for it,” says organizer Sharon Farinha. “We care about our area and are doing what we can to prevent super-sized tanker spills of bitumen and condensate from ruining Canada’s most productive coastline.” The projects, CPOC explains, risk devastating B.C.’s $1.06-billion fishing industry indefinitely; a single spill would cause lasting damage to both coastal tourism and forestry industries for which Enbridge and Kinder Morgan would be mini-
CPOC mally liable. CPOC reminds B.C. taxpayers that they will ultimately bear any economics losses and restoration costs these projects bring about, and invites the public to learn more
about the West Coast’s future with them. For information regarding the tour, route maps, and scheduling, contact Sharon at cpocvancouverisland@ gmail.com or visit www. facebook.com/CycleToProtectOurCoast. — Cycle to Protect our Coast

TRANSFORM Your Work Life
Building Links celebrates 19 years Building Links, a North Island construction report, is celebrating its 19th anniversary this week, publishing its 950th edition on May 16. In its current form, Building Links is a subscription e-mail newsletter that publishes 50 times a year, offering news and information about the construction industry on Northern Vancouver Island. Publisher Clarice Coty started the publication May 17, 1993. An industry survey identified a need among businesses from the Van-
couver Island construction industry for their own source of local, upto-date news about development permits, building permits, tenders, and quarterly and annual construction statistics. The Building Links website features a blog that offers weekly updates. In addition, the RealEstateAndConstruction. ca blog features daily updates from across Vancouver Island. To enjoy your four free issues of Building Links, visit the website at www. buildinglinks.ca.
Do you wake up in the morning actually looking forward to work? Unless you answered with a resounding Yes, then it’s time to take stock of your work/life situation. Making a positive change in your work life is not just possible, it also just got easier for professionals on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. Beth Campbell Duke of CampbellDuke Personal Branding is launching the Work You LOVE program for professional women who dread going to work in the morning. TRANSFORM Your Work Life is an evening workshop that will address the three biggest mistakes professional women make that keep them dreading going to work in the morning. “In addition to the normal shifts in personal values and priorities

Smile while providing customer service Jill Moran really didn’t know what she was getting into when she signed up to attend the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce’s WorldHost Fundamentals training last March, which she took through Job Options. At the time, she was looking for work and had recently moved to the Valley. She now wholeheartedly supports the program and encourages others to sign up. “I didn’t have any clear expectations about what the course would offer,� Moran said. “I anticipated that it would be fairly dry – based on my past experiences for this type of training – but the WorldHost facilitator, Gayle Bates, and the program content exceeded my expectations.� Laura Brown, who took the training while working at the Chamber as a summer student, agrees.
GAYLE BATES, WORLDHOST facilitator, is known for her upbeat and engaging presentation style. “I found Gayle Bates to be an incredibly engaging instructor who takes ordinary information and transforms it into information that is exciting, thought-provoking
and meaningful,� said Brown, who now works full time at the Chamber. The Chamber has scheduled another training session May 22 and 23 from 6:30-

9:30 p.m. at 2040 Cliffe Ave. WorldHost Training Services was launched as the SuperHost program in 1985, offering customer service training for EXPO ‘86 in Vancouver. The certification program is for those who deal with the public. It teaches skills and techniques of service professionalism. The topic of the workshop is Customer Service Fundamentals. “The training is designed to provide affordable, relevant and quality customer service training solutions for front-line staff and managers,� Bates said. “The program gives individuals the skills and confidence required to excel at customer service. It gives
businesses a competitive edge and, for organizations, it connects them to a network of dedicated service providers that strive to enhance the customer experience.� Moran says the most valuable thing she learned was how to deal with all types of people on the phone and in person. “I look forward to putting my newlyacquired skill to work at my new job at La Cache on Fifth Street,� she said. WorldHost certification training is $85 for Chamber members or $90 for non-members. Seating is limited. Advance registration is required. For more information call the Chamber at 250-334-3234.

Filberg marching into future The 2012 summer season at Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park will be just like many previous ones — yet different. A new energized board headed by chair Mo MacKendrick has added partners, changed formats and begun renewing the picturesque yet aging lodge. At the same time, the board is wise to keep things that are working fine. Artist Joe Smith was back on the weekend for an exhibit to open Filberg’s 30th anniversary as a public treasure. His beautiful scenes of nature are a good fit at Filberg. Kids Day in the Park returns June 24, this year headlined by Rick Scott and his trademark dulcimer. The Filberg Festival, which raises money for year-round upkeep, returns on the BC Day weekend with the usual winning combination of more than 120 skilful artisans, talented musicians and the unbeatable Filberg setting. Some things are different — in the case of repairs to the lodge, an obvious improvement. The new cedar-shingled roof and refurbished front porch are a sign of things to come as the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park Society continues to raise funds for necessary repairs. Sunday Sounds has been replaced by a promising Summer Concert Series. Sweet Lowdown, Wil, Oliver Swain’s Big Machine, Mae Moore and Impossible Bird will fill the park with music on five Thursday evenings. Guests at a Friday soirée were treated to a variety of mouth-watering delicacies that are all on the menu at the Filberg Tea House. A new partnership with the Courtenay VQA Store guarantees quality wine to augment a Filberg visit. The gift shop continues as another attraction for visitors, and Filberg Bucks help you to shop. As a fundraiser, the gift shop has been joined by a summer raffle with cool prizes. If you’ve never been to this special place, you can do so for free most of the year. You’ll understand why people donate to keep it going.

Low numbers of summer chinook in the Puntledge River are a source of concern, especially since the run is one of only two on Vancouver Island.
Refugee rules being changed Dear editor, I am a member of a small but vibrant group of people helping two refugee families from Syria settle in Canada. We are the Comox Valley Refugee Support Committee. We have raised about $60,000, which we thought would be enough to see them through their first year here, which is our sponsorship commitment. The situation in Syria was, and is, deteriorating to such a point that these families, of Palestinian origin, who had been living in Iraq until about 2007, and then fled to a United Nations refugee camp in Syria, were in danger of their lives. The United Church of Canada put out an urgent appeal last year for groups to undertake sponsorships of family groups. We have taken two families. The first one arrived in December 2011 and consists of parents and three daughters aged 17, 9 and 7. The second one came in February 2012, consisting of parents, three sons aged 18, 17 13, and four daughters aged 16, 11, 8 and 6. With a lot of work and many donations of furniture, household goods, food, and now the nittygritty of making ourselves available for school runs, shopping expeditions, medical appoint-
ments, soccer games etc., both families are settled in rented houses, the children are in ESL classes in area schools and the parents are studying English at North Island College. The Interim Federal Health Program has covered them so far for doctors’ visits, some needed

medical tests and dental and optometry visits. We expected this program to continue for a full year, as was promised, and we were confident that before the families left our “protection,” their basic health needs would have been met and outstanding medical issues solved. But now we are told the IFHP is changing as of June 30, and only emergency needs will be met.
This is devastating to our group, as medications will no longer be covered, dental and eye care is out, as is laboratory, diagnostic and ambulance services, and even hospital services! Both the fathers have medical issues and both the mothers need gynecological assessments. There are considerable dental needs for all of them. The children need to have proper assessments, and as with all children, there are bound to be some dental and optical needs, too. We are faced with huge increases in our monetary obligations, or, if we do not cover these costs and our families are deprived of these services nest month, they run the risk of becoming a drain on the health care and welfare systems in the future. This is so unfair to change the rules halfway through our commitment. We have good-hearted people here, with lots of potential to enrich Canadian society. They just need time to learn English and to fit into our western ways. Starting them off at a health disadvantage may be too devastating and cause obstacles that cannot be overcome. Liz Naish, Courtenay
We are building it – they are coming Dear editor, We have, in fact, built it (bike lanes) and they are coming (cyclists). Over the last three years, the Town of Comox with funding assistance from the provincial government and the federal government (gas tax) has constructed over 2.5 kilometres of new infrastructure (Comox Hill, Comox Avenue, Guthrie Road) that is designed for safer cycling and traffic flow.
Our green ‘conflict zones’ are state of the art, and we intend to continue this treatment as we paint bike lanes along Anderton and Robb later this year. The resolution, in fact, referred to rural area cycling infrastructure that is more properly the jurisdiction of the CV Regional District and the Ministry of Highways, which is why it wasn’t even seconded at our council meeting (it was not defeated).
The Town of Comox remains committed to improved traffic and pedestrian safety as part of a comprehensive study completed last year with a new Official Community Plan. We also have been actively involved in the Comox Valley Cycling Task Force as all local governments work toward improving cycling infrastructure within our region. Mayor Paul Ives, Comox

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Abandoned mines keep polluting Dear editor, In response to Joe Paquet’s recent letter extolling the virtues of mining and jobs jobs jobs for the Comox Valley, Mr. Paquet claims that B.C. has some of the most stringent environmental laws in the world. The fact is that mines inspectors generally only inspect for worker health and safety and not for water quality or environmental damage. John Doyle, B.C.’s Auditor General, issued a scathing report on the lack of follow-up on projects by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. There are certainly not sufficient field staff to ensure that these strict environmental regulations are adhered to. Mr. Paquet recalls the ‘foolish comments’ made over the Quinsam Coal Mine 30 years ago when there was overwhelming public opposition to the project. He doesn’t mention that
Dr. William Cullen of UBC conducted a study of the water of Long Lake and found that it contained up to 630 parts per million of arsenic. Dr. Cullen called Quinsam Coal’s denial of responsibility “a gross distortion of fact.”
up this toxic mess is $237 million. What was it he was saying about toughest environmental regulations in the world? If there are no police giving out speeding tickets, speeders will speed, regardless of the rules.
There are 13 contaminated ❝ sites in British Columbia targeted for cleanup due to confirmed risks to human health and the environment. Eleven of these 13 contaminated sites are abandoned mines.

In spite of this, the mine was granted a permit to extend their operations in January 2012. There are 13 contaminated sites in British Columbia targeted for cleanup due to confirmed risks to human health and the environment. Eleven of these 13 contaminated sites are abandoned mines. The current price tag for B.C. taxpayers to clean
The management and directors of Compliance do not have experience in coal mining, unless you count the few months John Tapics claimed he worked in a coal mine when he was a wet-behind-the-ears kid fresh out of university in 1975. The B.C. government issued a report in 2008: there were 394,000 jobs on Vancouver Island, 80 per
cent of which were service jobs, 10 per cent construction and one per cent fishing and mining. Coastal B.C. is the only place in Canada with a mean average temperature of 0 degrees Celcius. Wealthy people want to live in this paradise of oceans, rain forests, lush valleys and mountains. This means spinoff jobs will keep growing in the service and construction sectors, unless we let coal mines turn the clock back 50 years. The Comox Valley has a wonderfully diverse economy and we don’t need two coal mines to prop it up. As to Mr. Paquet’s reference to ‘pensioned-off activists’, would he mind coming over and cutting my lawn for me and weeding my garden? I am too busy working full time, and fighting to protect the future of this Valley to do it myself. Lynne Wheeler, Fanny Bay
Stop complaining about a bit of noise Dear editor, In last week’s question of the week concerning the Snowbirds, et al, you noted that it is clear from the replies to your question that airplane noise “irks a significant portion of the population” of the Valley! Excuse me, but what part of “active air force base”/civilian airport, did they not understand when they moved into their houses? I have just about had it with people who move here, to a virtual paradise, and then can do nothing but complain about anything and everything not to their liking! I enjoy the Snowbirds and the F-18 Hornets, as I have always liked airplane noise. It is only for a couple of weeks, and only at the times the planes are actually in the air, not a 24/7 operation we are talking about! These planes are training the military pilots who will be called upon to defend all of us when next we go to war. I am thankful every time I hear our military planes at work, that they are not dropping bombs on us, as is happening in so many other

IS ANYONE ELSE tired of having their car bashed by one of those hit-and-run bozos while parked in a big lot? I can’t afford to keep paying the $300 deductible, so here’s an idea: Why don’t the big stores with big parking lots, or groups of stores that share a parking lot, install a couple of surveillance cameras in their lots? There are surveillance cameras everywhere else, so why not? The police might be able to find these clowns and charge them, and ICBC would save money by having the criminals pay for repairs, and make money by
raising the insurance rates of those people. And the stores will make back whatever they spend on installation from the increased business of those who appreciate a secured parking lot.
