escalating quickly. Port Hardy RCMP officers took to the water in an attempt to locate the vessel. This was a challenging task given the diminishing light, and no exact location being available. RCMP Island District Emergency Response Team (ERT) was activated to assist, based on the report of a weapon, and the threat to life. Using cellular telephone ‘pings’ off towers in the North Island area, members of the RCMP’s Operational Communications Centre in Courtenay were able to identify a general location for the vessel. The remoteness of the area and the constant movement of the
The teen accused of murdering James Denton will know his fate Wednesday morning. The verdict and sentencing arguments — if required — will be heard in a Courtenay Supreme Court courtroom for the 17-yearold accused, charged with second-degree murder, whose trial concluded in June. Court heard throughout the trial that Denton, 19, was stabbed twice — once in the left armpit and once in the left lower back — near the entrance to G.P. Vanier Secondary School following the conclusion last July of a day-long music festival at the nearby Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds. If Justice R.B.T. Goepel delivers a guilty plea, Crown prosecutor Gordon Baines has indicated he will seek an adult sentence for the youth. Defence lawyer Michael Mulligan said there are three possible verdicts that the judge can find. “If the judge finds that the Crown has not disproven self-defence and that is the Crown’s burden to disprove that,” he noted in June. “If the judge found that selfdefence was applicable, that is a complete defence and he would be acquitted altogether. Another possible verdict would be if the judge found that the Crown had not proven all of the elements of murder, including that subjective foresight of death, but that selfdefence wasn’t applicable, another possible verdict could be guilty of manslaughter.” Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord. com for updates Wednesday and Friday’s Record newspaper for more.

Boating drama leads to charges J.R. Rardon Black Press
PORT HARDY — A fishing boat skipper from Courtenay allegedly armed with a shotgun and knives and threatening two crew members led to a rescue at sea involving members of the Port Hardy and Port McNeill RCMP detachments late Sunday night. Shortly after 8:30 p.m., a request for assistance was received from a female crew member aboard the 30-foot gillnet fishing vessel Opal T as it travelled in the waters off Vancouver Island, near Port Hardy. The 26-year-old woman reported that the vessel’s skipper was high on drugs and threatening to kill her and the other crew
member, a 21-year-old man. Charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, pointing a firearm and careless use of a firearm have been laid against Karl Darwin Thomas, 49. He was scheduled to appear Tuesday morning in a Port Hardy courtroom. The pair had sought safety on the roof of the vessel, and the woman reported they had been physically assaulted and threatened by the skipper. There was a loaded shotgun on board, and multiple knives. As RCMP officers were being mobilized to respond, additional information came in from the caller, indicating that shots had been fired, and the situation was

vessel made identifying a precise spot all but impossible. The general area was Browning Passage, near Pine Island, northeast of Port Hardy. This information was relayed to the Port Hardy RCMP officers on the water, helping them to locate the vessel shortly after 11 p.m. These officers shadowed the vessel, using the marine radio to repeatedly order the skipper to head for shore. Officers observed the two crew members on the back of the boat, and moved in to rescue them. The two jumped from their vessel onto the bow of the officers’ boat, and were quickly taken to safety. After the crew were safe, contact was made with the skipper of the vessel via cell phone, and he was persuaded to dock at Port Hardy. The vessel was escorted in by an RCMP vessel based out of Port McNeill. The RCMP Emergency Response Team was waiting at the dock, and took the skipper into custody without further incident. The 49-year-old Courtenay man was still in police custody as of Monday afternoon. The Opal T remained at the dock in Port Hardy, where
it was searched as a crime scene Monday by RCMP. The number of shots fired, and intent of the suspect, remains under investigation by the Port Hardy RCMP.

Soccer tournament opens eyes for Maple Pool United Scott Stanfield Record Staff
It was a victory of sorts, an eye opener even, for Maple Pool United — which competed in its first street soccer tournament this month in Victoria. “It was a great experience,” said Grant Shilling, an outreach worker at the Dawn to Dawn: Action on Homelessness Society who co-ordinates the street soccer program. Operating out of the Maple Pool Campground and RV Park,
the program provides an opportunity for people on the fringes of society to exercise, socialize and have fun. “It was good to be exposed to such a high level of play. For us, it was almost like going to the bigs. The game was played on astro turf, so that was a first for all of us.” The opposition included three street soccer teams — one from the host city and two from Vancouver — and a few corporate teams. Shilling said it was literally a crash course in street
“It was a victory just for us to get down there, to do a road trip, to get organized,” he said. The team consisted of men and women from 11 to 60 years, including Shilling and campsite owners Dali and Jin Lin. Maple Pool distinguished itself by scoring twice, surpassing the objective of finding the back of the net just once. “The camaraderie at the tournament was incredible, and the sportsmanship was great,” Shilling said. “We learned a lot about the
soccer, where four-player teams compete on a field about 22 metres long with hockey-size nets. One player needs to be over the centre line at all times, goalies cannot leave the crease and corner kicks are done by way of underhanded throw-ins, among other differences from 11-aside soccer. Shilling was concerned his team would be demoralized after losing their games. But the players instead adopted his motto that says, If you’re playing you’re winning.
level of play. Other teams were very welcoming and helpful in terms of trying to bring up our level of play.” Another positive is a noticeable increase in players’ fitness level, Shilling added, noting two players have quit smoking since the street soccer program began several weeks ago. Some of the team members experienced their first trip to Victoria, which will be followed by a tournament this month in Kelowna. The latter is a selection tournament for the 2012 Homeless World Cup of
soccer in Mexico City in October. Shilling hopes the Victoria street soccer team will consider trekking to the Valley for a game. If any Comox Valley soccer teams want to learn the game, he said Maple Pool United is up for the challenge. The team thanks the Comox Rotary Club for providing uniforms. Donations of cleats would help the program. For more information, contact Shilling at 250-218-3136. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Students construct training centre Renée Andor Record Staff
North Island College is busy building a new plumbing training centre at its Comox Valley campus — and the project gives a chance for carpentry students to learn, too. According to NIC’s director of college and community relations Susan Auchterlonie, the building will be completed to the lockup stage by students taking carpentry through the ACE-IT program for high school students. “It’s really neat because it’s like a real job site for them — they’re actually completing a real project,” said Auchterlonie, adding carpentry students at NIC usually build a project, but then have to deconstruct it afterwards. “This time they actually get to see the results of their labour, and it’s going to be used for other students, so it’s a really neat process.” The students, who are from Carihi Secondary School in Campbell River, have been coming to NIC’s Comox Valley campus four half-days per week to work on the building for a number of weeks. This phase of construction is expected to wrap up mid- to late-August, with the students putting in a total of eight weeks of work to finish their program. The building must be complete by September because it will be used by students in the college’s plumbing program, which Auchterlonie noted is like ‘real’ work, too. The building will be two storeys, complete with a roof and windows, which Auchterlonie said is a bit different from other plumbing training buildings, as they are usually very basic. “We’re building the plumbing training structure to a higher standard as a result of our neighbours’ concerns with noise emanating from our operations,” Auchterlonie said. “We wanted to ensure that we

The programs will likely be busy because Auchterlonie pointed out that NIC decided to consolidate its plumb-
ing programs and only offer them at the Comox Valley campus starting in September. She said space pres-

sures at the Campbell River campus are the reason. There, NIC is expanding its electronics and industrial automation programs, and offering some new programming — employment skills and metal jewelry. According to Auchterlonie, NIC’s trades enrolment numbers are starting to pick up. “We’re really happy with our numbers in trades right now. For September and for the fall, most of our programs are full,” she said. “The last couple of years has been a bit of a softer enrolment but we’re seeing, come September, our programming in plumbing, electrical, heavy duty mechanics, everything, full so we’re really, really pleased with that.” As for the carpentry students in the ACEIT program, Auchterlonie noted they will be ready to go into the construction industry after they’ve completed this project — and some haven’t even finished high school yet. “Some of them have graduated from high school already, some of them will be going into their Grade 12 year at high school, so some may not even be completing high school yet and they’ll already have completed college which is really kind of neat,” said Auchterlonie. “Then they’ll move into the construction industry.”

Bring your wine, but expect to pay Renée Andor Record Staff
Some Comox Valley restaurants will allow customers to bring in their own bottles of wine for a corkage fee of $20. According to Sandra Viney, owner of the Atlas Café and Avenue Bistro, her two restaurants as well as Locals, the Union Street Grill, Martine’s Bistro and Toscanos Trattoria have all decided to offer their customers this option. The Ministry of Energy and Mines, which is the ministry responsible for liquor control and licensing, announced the change in policy in mid-July, but noted restaurant participation is voluntary. Viney is from Australia so she grew up with a similar policy in place, and she said she’s excited the Province has changed the rules.
“It was a big adjustment coming here and not being able to do it, so I’m happy that this day has come and that law has been passed,” said Viney. “It’s a progressive rule that we’ve been waiting for.” According to the ministry, patrons will be required to have the wine served in the same manner as wine selected from the menu and restaurants may charge a corkage fee for this service. Also, the wine must be unopened and commercially produced — meaning no U-brew or home-made wines — but it can be purchased from outside of the province. Customers can take home their opened bottle of wine, but a restaurant employee must put a new cork in the bottle. Before Viney announced how much the corkage fee would be, Jason Hyde, a Vancouver Island wine
supplier with Peacock and Martin Ltd., noted the fees would likely be close to the same amount as the average price of a bottle of wine, which he said is around $20. According to Hyde, restaurants usually double the cost of a bottle of wine, so they usually sell a $20 bottle of wine for about $40. With the $20 corkage fee in place, he said it’s a good deal for customers if they have an expensive bottle of wine they’d like to bring or one that’s special to them. “That would be a good deal if you came back from France or Italy or you had a nice expensive wine to bring in there but it wouldn’t make sense to be bringing in a $15 bottle of wine or even a $20 bottle of wine,” he said, adding the wines restaurants serve generally go really well with their food because the restaurants choose
the wines they want to sell with their food. Locals chef and owner Ronald St. Pierre also noted the new option is positive for people who want to bring in expensive or special bottles of wine, but he added he has mixed feelings about the new policy and pointed out restaurants have many costs associated with liquor licences. “We do have lots of costs involved and that, you know, fees, licensing and everything,” said St. Pierre. “So to sell liquor — it’s like going to eat at the restaurant and bringing your own food, you know, so you think about it, or other services that people purchase, like going to, I don’t know, to the spa and bringing your own product.” He also noted he has about $20,000 invested in his alcohol inventory. But, he is from Mon-
treal where a similar policy is in place — and in many restaurants there, bringing their own wine with them is the only way customers can have wine in those restaurants. “I know that in Montreal there’s many restaurants that don’t actually sell liquor, you have to bring your own wine, that’s the only way that you can have wine at that restaurant,” he said. “Maybe it’s going to open a new door for people (here) to be doing a little more like they do in Montreal and somebody’s just going to allow people to bring their wine, I don’t know.” Licensees are still liable if patrons are overserved or liquor service is provided to minors. As in other provinces, there are no plans to broaden this beyond wine to include beer and spirits, according to the ministry.

Wachiay program might keep funds Scott Stanfield Record Staff
A teen program at the Wachiay Friendship Centre that had been in danger of shutting down due to a freeze in aboriginal youth funding might carry on as normal now that cutbacks to a federal program appear not to be happening. Funding for the Cultural Connections for Aboriginal Youth Program (CCAY) will be made available for projects eligible under the program’s new terms and conditions, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister John Duncan, MP for Vancouver Island North, announced Monday.

Horgen notes organizers still need to sit down and evaluate how the day went and discuss what they would like to do next year.

The Laurie Tinkler Dancers performed outside of the hall as a salmon barbecue got underway. Horgen noted the barbecue was quite successful with about 100 meals sold, and some proceeds going to the restoration and protection of the estuary. The silent art auction, which ran from 1 to 6 p.m., helped fundraise for the cause with half the proceeds from
sold art going to the artists and the other half going to Project Watershed. Horgen didn’t have the numbers of how much money was raised through the silent auction as of Monday, but he believed eight or more paintings had sold and he noted the submissions were of a high calibre.

“Certainly there were 45 or 46 very good submissions,” he said. “The idea was to bring the arts community and get them involved in the estuary,
and there were some wonderful things that related to the theme this year — Blue Forest.” The Kumugwe Dancers finished the day

The Day of the Estuary on Saturday was filled with art, food and the chance to ‘experience’ the estuary. The afternoon was the finale of the 2012 Keeping it Living campaign, which was designed to raise awareness and funds for the protection and restoration of the Courtenay River (K’ómoks) Estuary. This was the third campaign since 2010. It was co-ordinated by Project Watershed Society and its subcommittee the Estuary Working Group. According to Project Watershed board chair Paul Horgen, the day went well this year. “The idea behind the whole thing was to get people to pay attention to the estuary as a really important natural resource, and to experience it,” said Horgen. “You know, it’s there for the wildlife and all of nature, and also for people to respect it and enjoy it — so overall I was pretty happy with the day.” Some of the afternoon’s features were: nature walks along the estuary, a silent auction of artwork by more than 30 artists at the K’ómoks Band Hall, a salmon barbecue and a flotilla of human-powered boats. “The flotilla, I think, was an experience that we learned from,” said Horgen, adding the idea was inspired by the Diamond Jubilee Flotilla in London. “I think the weather wasn’t as co-operative as we would have liked; it was a bit choppy out on the water so the whole flotilla didn’t arrive in unison, which we had initially planned. “So, that part, I think if we were to do it again, I think we’d choreograph it a little bit better and hope for a day when there wasn’t any breeze — it got a little breezy later.” However, he said a dragon boat from Comox came with 22 paddlers in it, as well as a number of other boats including a few canoes and several kayaks. These boaters departed from the Comox and Courte-

Saxman, crooner at Elks Thursday This Thursday, the Elks’ stage in downtown Courtenay offers up another creative musical combo. Local crooner Ralph Barrat and saxman Tony Morrison have hinted there may be the addition of a surprise drummer. The Elks’ summer music series continues to offer its audience unique musical experiences through the artistic freedom of performers. It is exciting to overhear someone from the audience say, “Wow, look all these people coming out in the middle of summer.” The leather chairs and air-conditioning don’t hurt either. If all this doesn’t make you smile, Ralph’s infectious energy surely will. When Tony steps in on sax — you’ll forget all about petty things. For your pleasure, the love of music brings these guys to the stage. Music is by donation. The Elks’ is a nonprofit organization serving local children and the needy in the community. What better way can there be to spend a Thursday night? The Elks’ Club is located at 231 Sixth St. For more information, phone 250-334-2512. — Elks’ Club

of a single family who experienced the stress of a child’s unexpected illness in 1986. Their decision to try to find ways to provide comfort and support to other parents in similar situations has built a legacy of caring that is near and dear to many local families. Those whose lives have been touched by the support of YANA often want to become involved with the organization by creating more fundraising initiatives. Also appreciated as admission at the 1st Tuesday event are nonperishable food items for the Comox Valley Food Bank Society. The food bank is another local charitable initiative that has helped many local families. Director Jeff Hampton has been working with the food bank for 25 years, coordinating volunteers and developing effective systems to collect and distribute food to families in need. As usual, the evening will start with a short opening set by hosts Judy and Bruce Wing along with violinist Blaine Dunaway. Since its start in 2008 the monthly concert series has raised thousands of dollars for the community charities by pairing local musicians with their favourite charity. The events are sponsored by the Mex Pub. For more information about 1st Tuesday fundraising events, please contact Judy or Bruce Wing at 250-897-0423 or visit their website at www. j u d y a n d b r u c e. c o m / foodbank. — Judy and Bruce Wing

Ashlea Jonesmith and her partner Oliver Wives will perform at the Mex Pub on Aug. 7 as the featured artists for this month’s 1st Tuesday Fundraiser. Jonesmith, a folk and alt-country singer songwriter, moved to Denman Island from the B.C. Interior and after extensive touring in 2010 and 2011 have earned much acclaim in the Canadian independent music scene. The pair made their debut at the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival, Lillooet’s Music at the Miyazaki House concert series and Islands Folk Festival in Duncan. The combination of Jonesmith’s lyrics and vocals with the harmonies and creative bass lines of Wives are carefully balanced and their performances have been described as mesmerizing, sincere and heart-gripping. Ashlea describes her songwriting as “thick on mood and meaning” and she has written and recorded a full-length album as well an EP which is currently available for free download from her website at www.ashleajonesmith.com. Originally from Bracebridge, Ont., Jonesmith was chosen as a local act to play at Mariposa Folk Festival in 1998. She continued to perform at local establishments in Toronto and later Nelson, B.C., where she met Wives. Through the influence and inspiration of other musicians who have challenged her musically, she describes the evolution of her music as moving from “a quiet, somewhat generic folk-songbird to that of a gutsy, confident and distinctive performer-songwriter.” The cash donations collected at the door as admission will be donated to You Are Not Alone (YANA), a local organization that assists families in the Comox Valley who are confronted with unexpected costs due to the illness of a child. The local charity provides funding for travel so that families can be together during times when medical treatments are not available locally. The work of YANA has grown through the years from the efforts

Rainbow teens travel back in time to medieval days Rainbow Youth Theatre’s senior show for the summer is Dance Princess Dance! It will be onstage at the Mark Isfeld Secondary School theatre with evening performances Aug. 8, 9 and 10 starting at 7 p.m. and a finale matinée performance Aug. 11 starting at 2 p.m. “Working with a mostly teenage cast to put the medieval musical fantasy onstage is proving to be a most exhilarating experience,” says director Peter Woodhall. It is an original script, written by Wee Three Productions, a group comprised of Woodhall, his wife Claudia, who also composed the songs in the show and Pippa Ingram, who is doing costumes and assisting with publicity as well. The entire cast is giving their all to creating many magical theatre moments for Valley audiences and are busily refining their performances during this last week of rehearsals prior to opening night on Aug. 8. Like their director, they too are having a huge variety of “exhilarating experiences” and learning much in the way of theatre skills. Most of the cast have been involved with RYT before, having done other summer shows with the popular community theatre group. However, when asked to share their thoughts about the show, a not so “usual” introduction to RYT was experienced by Kristan Saefkow, a new resident to the Valley from Smithers. However, the ensuing involvement for Saefkow has certainly been one that is typically experienced by many — both onstage and off — who participate in the RYT summer theatre programs. What better words to use then to describe his experience than those of Saefkow himself. “I got involved with Rainbow Youth Theatre via a mix of confusion and well-intentioned family members. I had just arrived in the Comox area mere hours before the program sign up was to occur. My aunt, a constant planner of plans, had heard that I was very much involved in theatre throughout high school in my hometown of Smithers. “My original plan was to find a job within several days of arriv-
ing what times I was available, have not been so gracious … but what is employment when you can have theatre? “Since then, I have been having a wonderful time meeting many people and making many friends. For a surprise excursion into unknown sociopolitical territory, I’d say it has been most enjoyable! “The best part of being involved, aside from the wonderful people, is the experience and training, both in the fields of dance and singing, not to mention being able to work with a great director like Peter Woodhall. “If anyone feels drawn to theatre, they should definitely get involved with this group. Everyone here is very welcoming and friendly, and the acting experience is wonderful and fun! “I’m immensely satisfied with my experiences with RYT and I think that Dance Princess Dance! is a show

ing on the Island, but, having just driven 11 hours straight, I was well worn out and willing to take a day to adjust to my surroundings. Of course, this is where the original plan gets minced. “After just some three hours sleep
fusion and fatigue led to my signing up (as I was later informed) for an audition time slot. “I was told that I was a welcome addition to the group, and made quite comfortable. My potential employers, however, upon learn-
(or the equivalent) my aunt roused me from my rest to haul my weary, semi-conscious self over to Comox. It was there explained to me that I had to sign my name and agree to several commitments. The combination of con-

As an audience member I am positive you will have as good a time watching us perform as we are having performing onstage!” The show will be onstage at the Mark Isfeld Secondary School theatre with evening performances (Aug. 8, 9 and 10) starting at 7 p.m. and a finale matinée performance Aug. 11 starting at 2 p.m.

Sunrise- April 1, 1940 Sunset- July 27, 2012 Passed away peacefully at home with his wife by his side. Predeceased by daughter Marcia, and parents Alan & Margaret Woodrow. Leaving to mourn his devoted wife Michele, daughters Leah & Jessica, nephew Joshua and in-laws Ken & Donna Nelson. Danny left a large family of siblings, Bruce (Cathie) in Victoria, Robin (Diana) in Courtenay, Neil (Kristie) in Courtenay, Debbie (Brian) in Campbell River and Gerry (Mike) in Courtenay as well as an extended family of nieces and nephews that he loved very much. Danny was born and lived his life in the Comox Valley. He spent his youth playing music and was an accomplished piano and saxophone player. He enjoyed many years as a young teenager playing with Ma King in the The Four Kings Band. Danny began his working career at Island Ready Mix and articled to become a Certified General Accountant. In these early years he also found time to experience sitting on council as an alderman alongside George Hobson. In 1968 he traded his suit for workboots and a standfield and started potato farming with his brother Robin on Knight Road in Comox. Many happy years were spent on the farm. In the early 80’s Danny and a partner built the Farmers Market on Cliffe Avenue which was a town outlet for the crops from the farm. It thrived for years with the produce market, butcher shop and retail shops surrounding. Times got tough, the interest rate went up to 24% and Danny sold the building, kept the farm but dug out his suit and became a stockbroker. Although this was an interesting career Danny went back to his first love which was farming and working the land. He retired in 2003 after selling the farm and began to travel. Danny was an adventurer and lived his life with gusto. He rode a motorcycle, flew an airplane, sailed the seas in his boat and travelled the world. He had a very generous spirit that touched his large family and many friends. He will be missed. Danny had many health challenges in the last 10 years but never complained and his spirit was always strong. Michele would like to give special thanks to the following people for their support during this time. John & Lisa Zuk - good friends and neighbours, Emergency Staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Dr. Burry & Nurse Cathie at Valley Care Medical, Rita at the Pacemaker Clinic in Campbell River, Dr. Weir & the Kidney Care Clinic at Royal Jubilee in Victoria. A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, August 4th at 1:00pm at Piercy’s Funeral Home in Courtenay with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation, Comox, B.C. in Danny’s memory.

Proud parents Lucia and Brandon Little, along with LITTLE Brothers Rocco and Matteo are so grateful to welcome home Born July 3rd, 2012 Due to complications at birth, Nico spent his first two weeks in the intensive care unit at BC Children’s Hospital. Our many thanks to so many that helped us through this difficult time: To Deborah for your incredible skill and expertise at his birth, and to Sadie for your additional support. To Nonna and Big John for entertaining the older boys. To the paramedics, Dr. Theron, and all the unbelievable staff at St. Joe’s who worked so diligently to stabilize Nico, some of whom stayed overtime and came in on their day off to take care of him. To the helicopter paramedics and Dr. Ting who came from BCCH for their astounding proficiency, and to all the staff at BCCH who so expertly treated Nico. To YANA for your incredible generosity. Your immediate support of funds and a fantastic apartment so close to the hospital is so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much to all those who contribute their time to keep YANA thriving, and to anyone who has ever donated to this wonderful charity!

Canada wins opener, bows to Norway Kabush, Earle Couper Record Staff
The Canadian team of Martin Reader (Comox) and Josh Binstock (Toronto) will have their work cut out for them today at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England when they meet world No. 3 Brazil in their final preliminary round match of the men’s beach volleyball competition. The Canadian duo got things off to a great start on Saturday (July 28), defeating Great Britain 21-19, 21-13 then lost 21-14, 21-18 to Norway on Monday (July 30). Heading into today’s showdown with Brazil (Pedro Cunha and Ricardo Santos), Canada has a 1-1 record in Pool F. The 24 pairs are split equally into six pools, playing each team in their group, with the top two advancing to the knockout first-round stage along with the two best third-placed teams. The remaining four third-place teams will then compete in playoff matches to determine which pairs will fill the final two places in the first round. Television (TSN, CTV) coverage of the CanadaBrazil match will air at 12 p.m. PDT “We played them before,” Binstock said of the Brazilians. “We lost a tight one in three. So we know that they’re beatable. There’s no lack of confidence here after (Monday’s loss).” Later on Monday, Brazil (2-0) defeated Great Britain (0-2) 21, 17, 21-12 to advance to the knockout stage. The British duo must win their final Pool F match against Norway today and hope other results go their way if they are to avoid elimination. Brazil opened Saturday with a 21-14, 21-18 victory over Norway. On Monday, not even Reader’s game-best 85 km/h serve could get the Canadians past Martin Spinnangr and Tarjei Viken Skarlund of Norway. “We didn’t play the way we wanted to and found it difficult to play the ball,” Binstock told the media after the match. “We get in trouble when we don’t take care of the ball on our side.” Reader and Binstock served a lesson to British pair John Garcia-Thomp-

son and Steven Grotowski with a 21-19, 21-13 victory to open the men’s beach volleyball tournament. The first set was close all the way, however the Canadians almost always had the
lead. The British only held 1-0, 11-10 and 14-13 leads. The rest of the set was tied or Binstock and Reader were ahead. The set finished in spectacular fashion when
an 18-play rally, the longest of the entire match, was capped by a smash by Reader which went off the hand of Garcia-Thompson. ‘’Winning the first set gave us a lot of momen-

tum and was the turning point in the match,’’ said Reader. ‘’It was exhausting but we are proud of our performance.’’ The second set was much different as Canada’s service game completely baffled the British pair. Consecutive aces by Reader and another by Binstock a few plays later put Canada up for good at 7-2. Binstock finished with one ace, 11 kills and 12 digs while Reader contributed five aces, 14 kills, one block and nine digs. “We started how we wanted, but we needed to generate some more pressure on the serves,’’ said Grotowski. ‘’We missed a few chances at the end of the first set and that enabled Canada to take the set.” Binstock felt a bit bad to disappoint the home crowd. “It’s hard because they are great people and we like them as friends,’’ he said. ‘’It can help to create motivation when you don’t like your opponents, but that was not the case. They are stand-up class acts and we didn’t like disappointing their home-country fans, but we really appreciated all the support from all the Canadians who were in the crowd.” “Josh’s buddies [came] with hockey sticks and helmets and whatnot. My family [including dad Norman and mom Patrisha from Comox] is here, and that is all that matters for me — that my family is here,” the 28-year-old Reader, a sixfoot-seven Highland Secondary graduate, added. “We want to get out of our pool, then hopefully top 10, and then get on the podium,” said Binstock, who only teamed up with Reader this year. GAMES NOTES Reader (“This is the moment you dream of being part of one day. Marching in the opening is what you picture and it’s the highlight of my life!”) and Binstock (“Pretty spectacular and unfathomable!”) were part of the Canadian contingent at the opening ceremonies ... the beach volleyball venue is the Horse Guards Parade ... 48 athletes who are either from or train on Vancouver Island comprise about 15 per cent of the 277-athlete Canadian team in London ... sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com
Levins set to go Earle Couper Record Staff
Martin Reader is the first Comox Valley athlete to take the world stage at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and two more are waiting eagerly in the wings. Seven-time Canadian champion Geoff Kabush of Courtenay is attending his third Olympics and competes in the crosscountry mountain bike race on Sunday, Aug. 12 at Hadleigh Farm. Fans can watch the action at 5:30 a.m. PDT on either TSN or CTV. Black Creek longdistance runner Cam Levins runs the 10,000m final on Saturday, Aug. 4 at Olympic Stadium with television coverage slated for 1:15 p.m. PDT. There are no preliminaries in this event; all runners compete in the final. Levins is also competing in the 5,000m. The first round goes Wednesday, Aug. 8 with TV coverage at 2:45 a.m. PDT. The final goes Saturday, Aug. 11 with TV coverage set for 11:30 a.m. PDT. More info on the athletes and a link to support them on Facebook are on the Canadian Olympic Committee website at olympic.ca. Meanwhile, one local supporter has created a fan page for Levins. Marilyn Atkinson notes the Facebook page http:// www.facebook.com/#!/ pages/Cam-Levins/ 299561896809769 is not endorsed by Levins, but says, “I am just really excited about how well he has done this spring, winning NCAAs and then qualifying for Olympics with A standards. He presents very well as an intelligent, articulate, young man,” said Atkinson. “Anyway I just thought if it was in the newspaper we could generate lots of ‘likes’, interest and positive comments for him,” Atkinson added. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Stuart sprints to track record Terry Guest Contributor
Brian McLean Chevrolet sponsored a great night of racing, featuring some of the fastest cars, at Saratoga Speedway. The Sprint cars, I.M.C.A Modifieds, Island Mini Stocks, Bomber cars and the Motorcycles were all on the racing card on Saturday. A track record was set in the Sprint car division as #15 Mark Stuart’s time of 14.549 seconds beat the old record of 15.557 set by #52 Jesse Dardengo last year. A seasonhigh 13 cars took to the track for the 30-lap main event. On lap five a terrible accident occurred; #43 Matt Verhagen and #08 Shane Woolcock tangled up, sending Woolcock into the trees in turn one. Woolcock would be okay, but his car was totalled, ending his night. The main event belonged to #55 Jeff Bird, who held off a hard-charging Mark Stuart for the win. Third went to #27 Duane Zeinstra, who was filling in for Frank Mayell. #96 Mike Nyeste dominated the Island Mini Stock division, winning the dash and leading all but five laps of the 30-lap main event. #7 Justin Woodske finished second, with third going to #77
Jeremy Waksel. #53 Kevin Noble had a rough night in the I.M.C.A Modified division. He struggled with mechanical issues all night, but managed to get his car back to form for the main event, holding off #44 Tim Openshaw to win his second main of the year. #24 Charlie Ackerman had a great night in the Bomber car division. Ackerman won the dash and led all but six laps of the 30-lap feature race, inching himself closer to the points lead. #68 Bruce Moran won all but one race in the Motorcycle division. This weekend (Aug. 4-5, rain or shine) marks the biggest monster truck show in Saratoga Speedway history as five monster trucks plus two monster ride trucks will be on display. California Kid, Rockstar, Bucked Up, Motorcycle Superstore and The General will all be in action. Rockstar and California Kid have both been here before, putting on amazing shows every time. In fact, both of them have rolled over at Saratoga, proving that these two and the rest of the trucks go all out. Gates open at 4 p.m., giving fans a chance to have a meet and greet with the monster truck drivers.

Quit griping and enjoy Games in spite of Brit media whiners The sixth Olympic ring is schadenfreude. In the days and weeks leading up to Friday’s opening ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Games in London, the international media were gleefully chronicling the myriad of gaffes and shortcomings that have organizers scrambling and issuing statements of reassurance that all will be well. First it was the weather, cold and rainy then suddenly so hot that power lines for a new rail service to the Olympic stadium were melting, resulting in delays and shutdowns. Ah yes, transportation, the eternal Achilles heel of every modern Olympics; if it’s not cabbies protesting on the Tower Bridge, it’s everyday commuters fretting through gridlock to allow Olympic officials free passage along exclusive traffic lanes. There are worries about security, as the private company contracted to make the Games safe underestimated the magnitude of the job, necessitating the deployment of the military. Customs agents are threatening to strike. And nobody is sure how much it will all cost in the end. Sound familiar? Two years ago we were sweating many of those very same issues in the days preceding Vancouver’s Winter Olympics. And no one was more vocal in their criticism than the British media; one paper even girded their readers for “the worst Games ever.” But all of the problems were forgotten as soon as Wayne Gretzky lit the Olympic cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza. Just as they likely were when the torch was set ablaze in London. And we’ll all settle in for two weeks of dazzling athletic competition, compelling human interest stories and national pride. We’ll cheer everyone in red and white, but especially for our local heroes. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

The irony of patching up a former provincial ferry to make it seaworthy enough to tow it to Mexico so it can be scrapped is inescapable — and inexplicable.
People ruin things for people Dear editor, OK, here we go again — it’s the old us against them, the big corporate dude screwing the little guy, rights versus privilege, blah, blah, blah. When will we get it that this adversarial crap doesn’t cut it any more. It’s all so 1960s power to the people. Give me a break. I’m speaking obviously, about the privilege of accessing our vast recreational wonderlands through privately owned forests, more specifically Wolf Lake. For years we’ve been lulled into the mindset that these lands are ours to do with what we so choose — wrong! This is private property. Having fished throughout the Comox Valley and points beyond, I’ve had the opportunity to engage forestry dudes on the topic of gated and decommissioned access roads. The response is the same — vandalism, garbage and the threat of fire. A number of years back, Maple Lake became a local dropoff point for all sorts of garbage, and the owner of the surrounding property slammed shut the gate. There was a bit of stink due to the popularity of Maple Lake and behold, mature minds met to mend the mess. Volunteers gathered to collect and truck the crap to the dump. Problem solved, gate swings open, life is good. About a month ago my fishing buddy and I drove up to the north end of Wolf Lake to seek out the mighty trout. I just about puked. The surrounding area resembled a war zone — smashed bottles, piles of discarded tents and sleeping bags, rotting food, spent shotgun shells, and God knows what else. Now the word is out that the south end of the lake is similarly screwed and the gate is locked tighter than a rainbow’s jaw on a wet fly.
So here’s the deal. In and around the Comox Valley there are numerous groups involved in the preservation of nature and the great outdoors. Let’s see, we have fish and game clubs, river enhancement people, naturalist groups, fly fishing dudes, hiking clubs, off-road ATV guys and I’m sure many more. Within this collective brain mass there must be some sort of solution. All of these people and the rest of us who just want to sit by the lakeshore and fish or camp are in jeopardy of losing this outdoor experience and that of our kids if we just sit back and let the actions of a few dictate how we can or cannot mingle with nature. I have a few ideas. For instance, adopt a lake preservation program similar to Adopt a Highway. Have a weekend cleanup based on the annual Denman and Hornby Island beach tidy up (maybe the landfill guys would waive the dumping fees) or some sort of Neighbour-
hood Watch. Let the timber companies know we respect their land. On the other hand, TimberWest could issue keys or codes for a fee if they so choose to keep their access roads under lock and key, like what is happening to travel up Comox Lake. I know to some this is all pie in the sky, group hugs and kumbaya stuff, but I feel that our outdoor privileges are being eroded by a small number of individuals who if left unchecked will have not only the lakes and rivers closed but beaches, hiking trails and mountain peaks, leaving the rest of us to commune with nature by languishing in our lawn chairs in the Driftwood Mall parking lot, which by then will be inundated with parking meters. One final thought. I hope TimberWest reads this and gives us their viewpoint and hopefully a middle ground resolution. Lang Price, Courtenay
Good money wasted as taxpayers pony up Dear editor, In today’s world it’s easy to see that opulence reigns supreme. In todays’ governments the same can be said about the way they spend taxpayers’ money. Let us look at the $14 billion that has been spent on the Olympics by Britain. Is it possible that with the European economy in shambles; countries going bankrupt, defaulting on debt payments, that we would throw away billions on a show of sport to somehow ameliorate the world’s population? This is the fallacy of politicians today — despite all the
indicators we somehow must continue to waste good money on extravagance. Whether it is municipal governments spending money on unneeded infrastructure and toys for employees, provincial governments refining liquor laws so that more people can drink alcohol or federal governments using nepotism on projects for personal gain; the useless waste continues while the lowly taxpayer ponies up his money. Let’s hear it for democracy and taxation! John Logan, Courtenay
OPINIONS
www.comoxvalleyrecord.com
Shift your thinking Dear editor, I have to respond to the continued attacks on bike riders and bike lanes. For starters, most people who ride bikes also own cars; we do already pay road tax. Riding bikes is healthier for the riders and the planet — this is a proven fact. Bike lanes encourage more people to take to their wheels, as it’s safer than being mixed in with car and truck drivers, many of whom seem to hold similar attitudes of sole entitlement to the road. Bike lanes ease the minds of parents to encourage their children to ride bikes. How much did the putting in of new and curving curbs on Eighth Street cost? I’m willing to bet it was a lot more than bike lanes, yet there’s no questioning of this, which only seemed a cosmetic undertaking. The new slip road to McDonalds on Cliffe Avenue? Very little questioning of that; (other than the usual trouble-making ‘greenies’ who ride bikes and so on). And closing the streets for public events? These initiatives to provide public spaces — which are sorely lacking in Courtenay, in fact, nonexistent — are proven tactics which
bring a sense of community, which in turn reduces crime and vandalism. The city of Bogota in Columbia is a prime example. People relate better to other people than to cars; it is humanity that makes a society, not vehicles. Money spent on initiatives to bring people into closer connection to one another, like riding bikes rather than being sealed off in vehicles, are proven to foster healthy cities and communities. I know it’s often difficult for North Americans to shift their thinking from almost veneration of vehicles, as our history has been based on it, but we can use our brains and see how the world has changed, and recognize that it cannot continue to be run on those old ideas, which are much flawed. And surely no one can believe that we can continue in that selfdestructive fashion for much longer. I think Courtenay council is making steps (albeit small ones) in the right direction. I want to live in a town where there are neighbourhoods with people riding bikes and walking on the streets, talking to one another, rather than roaring around in polluting cars and trucks with no opportunity to connect to one another. Hazel Lennox, Courtenay
Stand up for the people Dear editor, It is good that Mr. McRae, (unlike the disdainful Mr. Duncan), is at least paying attention, but he is not listening. Not to us, anyway. McRae said, “Upon being elected, I committed to standing up for Comox Valley residents and bringing their concerns to Victo- DON MCRAE ria. I remain dedicated to doing what’s best for the people and organizations that call the Valley home.” Given the obvious absence of support for the Raven and Bear mines among “the people and organizations that call the Valley home,” given that Compliance Energy, Itochu and LG — the owners of the Raven and Bear projects — do NOT call the Comox Valley home, and given that the BC Shellfish Growers’ Association and the K’ómox First Nation have expressed their concerns and even
THANK YOU TO the Comox Valley Record for making a space available to talk about the positive events in our community. I would like to highlight one such event that occurred for me. Wayne Tupper of Tupper Home Health Care has consistently been a source of support, caring and excellence in client service to myself and to others here in Comox Valley. Recently he caught me speechless with his selfless act of amazing generosity and kindness. While he is able to repair most anything, has the knowledge and connections to order or bring in any aid to mobility, and consistently provides the best price for home care supplies — it is his gentle, caring heart that really is the basis of his business. This is an example of why the Comox Valley is the best place to live. Thanks, Wayne, thank you for being a part of making Comox Valley the inclusive, caring place it is! I READ AN article on

opposition to the mining project(s), why does Mr. McRae have to wait to bring our concerns to Victoria? Is he saying that he knows what is best for those of us who call this Valley home? Has he chosen to ignore the millions of tax dollars which have gone into cleaning up the environment poisoned by mines? We did not have our concerns addressed in the draft AIR, not even close. So in our view, the process is flawed. That view is shared by John Doyle, B.C.’s Auditor General and West Coast Environmental Law, as well as by thousands of Valley residents. So, I ask Don McRae again, will you stand up for the people and environment of the Comox Valley? What will you do if the BC Environmental Assessment Office approves the mine? Lynne Wheeler, Fanny Bay

Record Staff
Courtenay council recently approved new landscaping plans for the Crown Isle Shopping Centre development, which includes some replacement Douglas fir trees. Seven Douglas fir trees will be planted to frame the view into the centre — which is located at Lerwick and Ryan Roads — along with some sweet gum and dogwood trees, but Barry Weih of Wensley Architecture acknowledged there won’t be as many Douglas firs as with the original plan. “We’re adding in more species to balance it out, but I agree they’re not Douglas fir,” Weih told council. “The Douglas fir, as it grows up, will essentially have too much of an impact on the visu-

anchored by Thrifty Foods, but developers had planned to keep a cluster of forest-grown Douglas fir trees at the corner of the development at Ryan and Lerwick Roads.
“The original intention was to retain those trees in the corner,” said Weih. “Unfortunately we were very quickly told by Hydro, in no uncertain terms, that was not accept-
able.” Late last year the cluster of trees was cut down. As Coun. Doug Hillian pointed out, some Comox Valley residents were unimpressed.

Bob Wells said. “The last 12 months have been our most challenging as we grew very rapidly, and then our Courtenay location was being renovated for several months, keeping customers from easily accessing it. Without our Comox store our company would not have been able to survive. However, the slowdown at our Courtenay store has forced us to lay off two of our employees. It
has been the hardest thing we have ever had to do. To let someone go even though they are great employees and are doing all the rights things simply sucks. We are confident we will be able to hire them back this fall once traffic is able to pick up at the Courtenay store.” Even the Comox store had its challenges last fall when the awnings were blown off during one of the major wind storms.
“We are really proud of our new awnings which are designed to last forever. We feel so lucky to be part of the Comox business community and we plan to stay here,” regional manager Bryan Tisdale said. Even if you don’t have a computer that needs cleaning stop by to enjoy our new air conditioners and chat with the friendliest geeks in town. - My Tech Guys

Financial planning for students - required tutorial Post-secondary students face many challenges but two stand out — achieving that precious diploma or degree and doing it without a crushing debt load. That’s why you need a financial plan, so here’s your required tutorial on practical strategies for effectively managing your money. Consider the cost

Cadets glide to graduation Cadets from all over B.C. were on parade July 26, marking this summer’s first of two graduation parades at the Regional Gliding School. Twenty cadets graduated from the Advanced Aviation Course and 21 cadets graduated from the Basic Aviation Course. The parade included some special awards and presentations to six of the graduates. Ron Rique, president of the Air Cadet League of Canada, was the reviewing officer for the parade. He congratulated the cadets on all their hard work these past three weeks and said that he was envious of the training they have the opportunity to participate in within the air cadet program. After three weeks of training at the RGS, these young men and women will leave with a strong knowledge of aviation, a great sense of personal growth, fond memories, and new friendships. The cadets have spent a great deal of time learning about the principles of flight, air navigation, meteorology, airplane engines, aviation history and airmanship. The following is a list of special award winners: The Rob Wilson Memorial Award — Cpl. Ari Oceguera (525 Pathfinder Sqn in West Vancouver) and FCpl Gordon Emerslund (759 Falcon Sqn in Burnaby). The BC Provincial Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada Trophy — Cpl. Matthew Wiebe (521 Aurora Sqn in Mission) and Sgt. Travis De Rooy (893 Beaufort Sqn in Parksville).
The Strathcona Trust Award – Cpl Vanessa Wang (637 Arrow Sqn in Burnaby) and Sgt Lyra Hindrichs (848 Royal Roads Sqn in Victoria.) This summer, the Regional Gliding School will have trained 36 cadets in the Private Power Pilot Scholarship Program, 45 cadets in the Gliding Scholarship Program, and another 84 cadets on the basic and advanced aviation courses. Information on the cadet program can be found at www.cadets. ca. — Regional Gliding School

Before applying for a student loan, check out scholarship or bursary possibilities from the school, provincial governments, foundations, religious groups, service clubs or civic groups. Careful with credit A credit card can drown you in debt or be helpful in an emergency or for establishing a credit history. Make the responsible choice. Pay yourself first Put away a little money each week as an investment in your future, a source of emergency funds, or to save for a major purchase. Make the most of government tax relief for students • Scholarships and bursaries — not taxable if you are eligible for the Education Tax Credit.
• Student loan interest — eligible for a nonrefundable tax credit when the loan is part of a federal or provincial student loan program. Carry forward and apply unused amounts of the credit in any of the next five years. • Moving expenses — deductible when you move more than 40 kilometres to be closer to school or a job. • Child care expenses — may be claimed by the higher-earning spouse/common-law partner of a lower-income student spouse. • GST rebates — apply for this rebate when you file a tax return. Other available tax credits: • Canadian Employment Credit on the first $1,065 of employment income. • Tuition, Education and Textbook Credit —
transfer unused portions of up to $5,000 minus the amount used by the student to a spouse/commonlaw partner, parent or grandparent, or carry forward unused amounts indefinitely. • Public Transit Pass Credit — receipts needed for claim. Talk to a professional adviser about these and other strategies for achieving a debt-free education and a sound financial future beyond your school years. J. Kevin Dobbelsteyn is a certified financial planner with Investors Group Financial Services Inc. His column appears every Wednesday.
