Courtenay, etc. en route to another riding? Record Staff Local residents are sounding the alarm about a federal riding redistribution proposal that apparently would hive much of the Comox Valley from Vancouver Island North, transferring it to Nanaimo-Alberni. “We in the Comox Valley have somehow become the butt of an incredible bad federal joke,”write Dorothy Drubek. “I have just received a copy of the proposed electoral map of B.C. for the distribution of federal districts and I am horrified. “The plan for our area is to basically divide Courtenay in half, with all of us north of the river to remain in the North Island district — and those of us south of the river to join the NanaimoAlberni riding,” she adds.

Son finds father, father finally locates his family Renée Andor Record Staff

Nothing could hide the joy father and son were feeling days after they met for the first time in over 55 years. Courtenay resident Lewis Bartholomew, 58, was adopted as a toddler in Jackson, Wyo., and a couple of weeks ago, he picked up his natural father Durle (a.k.a. Bill) Morris, 79, from Vancouver International Airport and brought him to Courtenay for a visit. “I’m just extremely thankful that I actually got a chance to meet him because every day I get more proud of him, knowing that I’m related to him, you know, I’m proud to call him my father,” Bartholomew said as he put an arm on his father’s shoulder. Bartholomew, who is project director for The Alberni Project, noted the trip so far has involved some touring, but mostly catching up on each other’s lives while sitting on Bartholomew’s deck talking and finding out more about each other’s life stories.

When Bartholomew was a baby, Morris went into service with the Marine Corps. While Morris was away, his wife struggled on her own with an 18-month baby. “My wife was evidently having a hard time — I didn’t realize that because I was away from her all the time and everything — and she adopted him out and also got a divorce,” explained Morris. “She wrote and told me that she was going to do this and I was in such a fix — I couldn’t help him out, I couldn’t do nothing, I was kind of stuck basically.” After about two years of service he came back and tried to find his family. “I didn’t know how to contact her or anything, everybody had moved,” Morris added. “I went back to Cheyenne, Wyo., for awhile, tried to find her and it turned out to be that no one knew where she went and what took place, so from there I went back into the Marine Corps and I finished up doing the seven years, and I just went ahead with my life.” Morris remarried and

had three other children, though added that he wondered about his son over the years. Meanwhile, Bartholomew was adopted in Jackson — the same town he lived in with his natural parents — which he noted was rare at that time and led to a confused version of his story. “There were a lot of incorrect things that were told to me growing up by different people in the town and so I had a very skewed version of my story,” he explained. In 1999 — around the same time he moved to Canada — he made contact with his natural mother in Oklahoma, with whom he has since developed a relationship. And, it was through his natural mother that he found his father. “Most of the time that I was searching for him, I was searching the wrong spelling of his name, and it was in talking to my natural mother that she gave me the correct spelling, and probably within 30 minutes, I was able to find his address online,”

he explained, adding he received a letter from Morris confirming he was his father on New Year’s Eve 1999. Since then, they chose to take time to get to know each other before organiz-

ing a face-to-face meeting because Bartholomew noted it can sometimes be difficult meeting long-lost family, and his advice is to take things slowly. Although Bartholomew noted these meetings can

be hard, it was easy to see the two got along with jokes and smiles coming into the conversation throughout. “I guarantee you, this time, I’m not going to lose him,” said Morris with a grin. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Everson’s generosity leads to Diamond Jubilee medal Renée Andor Record Staff

Well-known Kómoks First Nation member Andy Everson will receive a Queen Elizabeth II Royal Diamond Jubilee medal on Aug. 10. The 49-year-old, a local artist, singer and dancer among other things, received a phone call from the BC Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association — which nominated him for the medal — just weeks ago. “When I found out I was actually really surprised because — (laughs) I didn’t expect it at all, it was definitely a big surprise,” recalled Everson, adding his first thoughts were of family members. “What I thought of immediately was

my grandparents because in the past they had been awarded different medals like this… if they were still around it would have been a really big deal (to them). “It’s kind of like I’m just continuing on what they were doing, and so it was a validation in that regard.” Everson noted he was nominated because of one of his pieces of art. He created Remembrance in 2005 in recognition of Canada’s Year of the Veteran. The giclée print is a stylized poppy design made up of four thunderbirds. “I really wanted to, through that piece, raise awareness to the contributions of aboriginal veterans in Canada and the way that aboriginal veterans were historically treated upon returning from war and…

ANDY EVERSON WAS nominated for a Queen Elizabeth II Royal Diamond Jubilee medal by BC Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association after he gave it the rights to this piece called Remembrance, which he created to raise awareness about the contributions of aboriginal veterans.

the difficulties that they faced most other Canadian veterans didn’t face coming back,” explained Everson, adding he offered the rights to the design to the BC Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association. “I thought that recognizing the aboriginal veterans is an important thing, and for an association like that they’re able to — they do that continually, so I thought that the design could be best used by them.” Although Everson said he was chosen for the medal because of Remembrance, he has also been an active community member, and has worked to uphold the traditions of the K’ómoks and Kwakwa ka ’wakw First Nations through

much of what he’s done in his life. He sings traditional songs and performs ceremonial dances at potlatches, as well as with a number of different dance groups like the well-known local K’umugwe Dancers, and the Victoria-based Le-LaLa Dancers. In fact, he went to Taiwan with the Le-La-La Dancers to share his culture last summer. He obtained a Master’s degree in anthropology, which he uses to research his heritage and traditions. At a young age, Everson started drawing Northwest Coast art, and his first serious attempt was in 1990 when he designed and painted chilkat-style blankets for use in potlatch dancing.

Since then, he has created numerous pieces which are in galleries all over B.C. and even in the U.S. Everson will receive the medal during a ceremony at the K’ómoks Big House on Aug. 10. A modest Everson noted he’s pleased to be chosen for the medal, but is still getting used to accepting recognition for his work in the community. “In some ways you feel like you do (deserve it), and other ways, you know, I can think of so many other people that are equally deserving,” said Everson. “You take these kinds of recognition of your contributions, you take it to heart and you accept it, and you just have to learn how to accept these types of things.” writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

No sea cucumber seeding — yet Renée Andor

GLACIER AUTO SALES is

Record Staff

Some area residents are concerned sea cucumber seeding has spread to Baynes Sound — before a controversial project has been approved. A 155-hectare application for tenure for growing sea cucumbers between Royston and Union Bay is being reviewed by the various government arms responsible for granting licensing and use of the area. If approved, the area would be used for research and commercial growing of sea cucumbers, which are edible. Controversy has surrounded the application and many area residents have expressed numerous concerns such as danger to the area’s biodiversity and sensitive habitat, and issues with recreational use. Kilmarnock Drive resident Bob Ell is concerned about the proposed project, but he’s also concerned that he’s never seen sea cucumbers on the beach in front of his house in the 18 years he’s lived there, until now. “I have been walking this beach at low tide for many years in all seasons and this spring was the first time that I saw sea cucumbers at low tide,” said Ell in an e-mail, adding he’s seen many young sea cucumbers on the beach since he first spotted them in April. “It is very interesting that, after all of the 18 years that I have lived here, that in the year in which applications for sea cucumber ranching are submitted to the provincial government, that we are seeing for the first time a blooming of sea cucumbers on our beach. “This leads me to believe that the applicants may already be seeding different areas along our beaches even before their applications have been approved or rejected.” Applicant Dan Bowen said this is “absolutely not” the case. “The sea cucumbers have always been there,” said Bowen, adding there isn’t a great number of them. “I was out there about a month ago because we were doing some surveying and I saw one, but it was sort of near about the threefoot-plus tide and there was a big adult sea

which is owned by his co-applicant Eric Gant, could not be responsible for the sudden burst of sea cucumbers. “A hatchery has never created, never spawned out successfully, sea cucumbers, ever,” said Bowen. “This is all brand new science here — so we’re working on the science of how to spawn sea cucumbers.” Ell pointed out Bowen told attendees of a public information meeting that recreationally-used beaches would not be impacted by growing sea cucumbers because the creatures live in deep water. However, Ell noted the ones he’s been seeing

lately are on the beach where he walks when the tide is low. “At low tide no one will be able to walk along the low tide mark on our beaches without stepping on literally thousands of so called ‘deep water’ sea cucumbers for every hundred metres of beach,” said Ell. The public comment period for the application closed at the end of July, and it is now being reviewed by government branches including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Transit sharing details Record Staff The Comox Valley Regional District will host a free information session about public transit for electoral area residents Wednesday in Union Bay and Aug. 15 in Merville. The session will cover which routes serve the electoral areas, the benefits of taking transit, trip planning and how to catch a bus in the rural areas. “There are more reasons than ever to take transit in our region,” said Michael Zbarsky, the CVRD’s manager of transit and sustainability. “Whether it’s getting to Goose Spit on the weekends in the summer, or making it part of your regular commute to save money, Comox Valley transit is working hard to get our residents around.” Attendees will be provided with free 10-packs of bus passes and entered in a draw to win other prizes. There will be a bus on site for demonstrations of how to load a bike onto the bus rack, and how the bus easily accommodates those with mobility issues. Pre-registration is recommended, via e-mail at transit@ comoxvalleyrd.ca or 250-334-6065. Wednesday’s session is at the Union Bay Community Hall, 5401 South Island Highway. The Aug. 15 session is at the Merville Community Hall, 1245 Fenwick Rd. Both sessions run from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Suicide program surviving Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The Wachiay Friendship Centre in partnership with School District 71 is able to continue a youth suicide prevention program likely for the next couple of school terms thanks to a nod of approval from the regional district. The board has allocated $20,000 of a $300,000 Vancouver Island Health Authority grant towards the program, which ran at a difficult time last year in the wake of youth suicides that occurred locally. “It was just coincidence that we had been able to reinstate the program in the schools,” said Wachiay program

To us that’s a success, even if it was only in one instance.” During the past school term the program reached 1,965 students, 335 of whom were considered ‘at risk.’ This status was ascertained by evaluation forms filled out at the end of each presentation.

Obon is the Japanese Buddhist Feast of Lanterns, an annual festival originating in China that begins on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month (July-August) and honours the spirits of family ancestors. Everyone who can travels home for family reunions, work bees are held to clean ancestor’s graves and monuments, and their spirits are believed to return to visit their families’ household altars. Where the number of participants is sufficient, the threeday celebration traditionally ends with a Bon Dance, or Bon Odori, which expresses gratitude towards one’s ancestors. For 2012, Rev. Grant Ikuta, resident minister of the Steveston Buddhist Temple and recently elected the first Canadian-born Socho or Bishop of the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temples of Canada, will visit five historic Vancouver Island cemeteries and one private residence on Aug. 11

and 12. Each Obon ceremony will last approximately an hour, but Rev. Ikuta will lead participants in cleaning up graves and monuments before and after each cemetery service. As Rev. Ikuta says in his attached poster for this tour, “The other purpose of the Obon Cemetery Tour is to foster fellowship and understanding as we welcome people

from all nationalities and denominations in paying tribute to those who have gone before us. Your participation in the visitation is greatly appreciated.” On Aug. 11 at 2 p.m., an Obon ceremony will begin at the Cumberland Cemetery Service (Cumberland Japanese Cemetery on Cumberland Road). — B.C.

Fox run looking for you Terry Fox is a symbol of hope that touches the hearts of not only Canadians but people around the world. His desire and passion towards spreading awareness for the need to raise funds for cancer research has left an immeasurable impact on our lives and a legacy, which will not be forgotten. Since Terry’s Marathon of Hope in 1980, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $600 million for cancer research and proudly donates 84 cents of every dollar towards finding a cure. Donna White, provincial director of the Terry Fox Foundation BC and Yukon, explains that, “The wonderful part about his legacy is that it’s not just about the type of cancer Terry had, or cancers affecting youth, or men, or women. The Foundation funds research in to all kinds of cancer, believing as Terry did, that we need to conquer once and for all; for everybody.” “When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research, and I don’t care man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason!” stated Terry. He dedicated his heart, body and spirit towards his dream to outrun cancer and displayed his determination by running a marathon a day on one leg for 143 days across Canada. For over 30 years, millions of people have taken part in the Terry Fox Run in their community and will continue to fight for the cause in the 32nd annual Terry Fox Run on Sept. 16. Keeping with Terry’s wishes, the runs are non-competitive, have no entry fee and do not require a minimum pledge amount. You can register individually or as a group with your family, friends and co-workers and Team Up for Terry. For more information about the Run in your community, registering a team or signing up as a Terry’s Team Member, visit www.terryfox. org or call 1-888-8369786. — Terry Fox Foundation

Church new RCMP chapel St. Andrew’s Church in Courtenay will be dedicated Aug. 12 as the Official RCMP Chapel for the Comox Valley. This special dedication memorial service will take place at 10 a.m. at St. Andrew’s Anglican Heritage Church at 1510 Dingwall Rd., at the corner of Dingwall and Highway 19A at the bottom of Mission Hill. The Memorial Dedication Service conducted by RCMP Chaplain Fr. Charles Massey, will be attended by officers and family members, and commanding staff of the RCMP Comox Valley detachment, as well as invited representatives of local municipal governments and law enforcement services from Victoria. The dedication of St. Andrew’s

as the Comox Valley RCMP Chapel has been approved by the Anglican Diocese of British Columbia and Bishop James Cowan, and by the RCMP Detachment and District Command. Attending officers will be in full dress uniform. The official RCMP flag will be hung in the nave of St. Andrew’s to signify the dedication of the church as the RCMP Chapel for the Comox Valley. St. Andrew’s Sandwick Mission Parish of the Anglican Church of Canada is the oldest church and oldest building on Vancouver Island north of Nanaimo. Designated by the City of Courtenay as a heritage property, this Anglican heritage church was constructed in 1873, the same year that the RCMP

was formally created by Act of Parliament to bring civil order and the protection of the lawful government of the Dominion of Canada to the peoples of the former northwest territories of British North America. St. Andrew’s, hand-built by the pioneers and settlers of the Comox Valley under the guidance of Rev. Jules X. Willemar, is a classic carpenter gothic Anglican mission church, constructed with local-old growth Douglas fir. Its Edwardian-era stained glass windows were restored in 2008 as part of an ongoing architectural restoration that began in 1990 with the generous support of the Comox Kiwanis Club. — Friends of St. Andrew’s

Drug education receives support Four Courtenay service clubs donated over $3,400 to help Comox Valley RCMP teach the internationally recognized Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program to 500 local Grade 5 schoolchildren. The Royal Purple of Canada Lodge 158 donated $400; the Soroptimist International Club of Courtenay, $996; the Rotary Club of Courtenay, $1,500; and the Knights of Columbus, $500. S/Sgt. Anthony Choy, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the RCMP Drug and Organized Crime Awareness Service which oversees the Courtenay DARE program, said that over 250 police officers teach DARE to thousands of schoolchildren in over 90 communities throughout British Columbia. “The DARE program equips our children with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drug-free life,” he said. “While police officers teach the program, the cost of the student learning materials is covered by community donations so the program can be offered free to all students. The learning materials cost approximately $10 per student.” S/Sgt. Choy said DARE BC is their main partner in the DARE

program. DARE BC is a registered charitable organization responsible for raising funds from within each community to cover the cost of the student learning materials. “We are very grateful to these local service clubs for their generous donations which covered the cost of learning materials for 340 students who took

the program during the 2011-2012 school year,” he said. The founder of DAREBC, retired RCMP S/Sgt. Chuck Doucette, said next year’s DARE program starts in September and will need to raise $5,000 in Courtenay to cover the cost of learning materials for the 500 students who are expected to take the

Mind Body & Soul

DARE program. DARE is appealing to the citizens of Courtenay to help provide the financial support needed to empower Courtenay’s schoolchildren in choosing a drug-free healthy lifestyle. Donations can be made by visiting the DAREBC website at www.darebc.com. — Drug Abuse Resistance Education

THE JET STREAM show band and the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Canadian Air Force will perform a free concert Thursday at Marina Park in Comox.

19 Wing concert thanking Comox Valley for support The Pipes and Drums of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Jet Stream show band will play a free concert for the public this Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m. at Comox Marina Park. 19 Wing Comox is holding the concert to thank the residents of the Comox Valley for the tremendous support the Wing receives from communities throughout the year. While the concert is free, attendees are welcome to bring canned food donations for the Comox Valley Food Bank Society or cash donations for the Soldier On Fund. Lawn chairs, food and drink are permitted at the park with grass seating on a first-come, first-serve basis. The concert is an alcohol-free event. Parking is available at the marina parking lots and on the street. The Jet Stream band has quickly become one of the premier ensembles in the Royal Canadian Air Force. This internationally renowned 20 piece show band does it all — rock, pop, country, R&B, funk and disco. Jet Stream has travelled all the way to Busan, South Korea for the 60th anniversary of the liber-

ation of Seoul, south to Las Vegas for the Las Vegas International Tattoo and as far north as Iqaluit, showcasing a contemporary twist and cutting-edge approach, while carrying on the history and tradition of music in Canada’s air force. The Pipes and Drums of the RCAF Band is the first and only full-time professional complement of bagpipe and pipe drum musicians in the history of the Canadian Forces. Professional soloists from Canada’s pipes and drums world, this outstanding group has a very bright future as it supports the Canadian Forces at a wide range of ceremonial occasions, at community events across Canada, and when proudly representing Canada at international pipe band competitions and tattoos. The free public concert at Comox Marina Park this Thursday runs from 7 to 10 p.m. You’re invited to enjoy a great evening of music with two of the RCAF’s premier music ensembles — the Pipes and Drums of the RCAF and the Jet Stream stage band. Donations to the Comox Valley Food Bank Society and the Soldier On Fund will be accepted. — 19 Wing Public Affairs

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Wednesday, August 8, 2012

Enjoying cool jazz at the Zo certainly not forbidden The Forbidden Jazz Trio returns to Zocalo Café for an evening performance this Friday. The group, consisting of Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocals, Jim Chew on guitar, and Grahame Edwards on bass, hope to reach audiences of all ages by performing a wide variety of timeless jazz standards. Representing more than four decades of experience, their unique blend of voice, brass, and strings will weave their collective magic through two sets of entertaining music. Joining the trio on lead guitar is Jim Chew. Jim has explored all areas of music over the past 35 years, from trios to show bands, both live and in the studio. During his teens, Jim was inspired by Django Reinhardt, and went on to study classical guitar for three years. He eventually discovered a passion for jazz which led him on a path of playing and teaching in the jazz program at Mount Royal College in Calgary. When he wasn’t playing jazz, he supplemented his income as a commercial freelance musician. This experience left him with a broad base of influences which he now applies directly to his playing style. Jim resides in Campbell River and performs with the CR

Sounds of 17, Georgia Straight, Arrowsmith, and CR Big Bands; Strathcona Symphony Orchestra, and Just in Time Jazz Choir. Music commences Friday at 7:30 p.m. and admission is by donation. The kitchen serves a wide selection of sweet and savory

dishes plus beverages (including alcohol). For more information, please contact Zocalo Café and Gallery at 250-331-0933, visit www.zocalocafe.ca or drop by the corner of Fifth Street and Cliffe Avenue. — Forbidden Jazz Trio

BASSIST GRAHAME EDWARDS is a member of the Forbidden Jazz Trio. Little Big Band. Talented multiinstrumentalist Grahame Edwards studied music at the University of British Columbia and holds a Diploma in Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. Aside from acoustic and electric bass, Grahame also plays percussion and trumpet. His first musical love, however, lies with improvised music and he enjoys playing and composing his own jazz tunes. In addition to performing, Grahame has taught both privately and in the Campbell River School District, and enjoys sharing his music by

conducting workshops and clinics. Over the years, he has studied with many respected jazz musicians including Don Clarke, Phil Nimmons, Chris Nelson, and Paul Horn. No stranger to the local music scene, Jake Masri draws his inspiration from classical repertoire to musical theater to Afro-Cuban/ New Orleans, and Bebop styles. His passion for jazz

is directly linked to artists such as Herb Alpert, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Arturo Sandoval. As a performance major at VCC, UVIC, and UBC, Jake studied trumpet with Boyd Hood, Gerald Gerbrecht, and trombonist, Dave Robbins. His studies in jazz exposed him to pros such as Mike Herriot, Bill Clarke, and Hugh Fraser during the local CYMC summer program.

Among his favourite vocal instructors are Ann Mortifee, Rhiannon, Ysaye Barnwell, and Wendy Nixon Stothert. Since moving to Comox in 2002, Jake has appeared with Quintessence Brass; 6th Street, Jazztown, and Jazz Noir combos;

DEATHS

DEATHS Laak, Henn (Andy)

The passing of Henn (Andy) Laak of Courtenay, B.C. occurred on July 27, 2012 at St. Josephâ€™s Hospital in Comox, B.C. Henn was born on November 11, 1932 in Tallin, Estonia, immigrated to Canada with his family as a teenager and became a Canadian citizen in 1959. He was the son of the late Alexsander Laak and Desi Hildegard (Kietz) Laak. Henn is survived by his sister Juta (Tony); brother Rein (Ursula); sisterin-law Marge; several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Henn was predeceased by a brother Jerry and the love of his life, wife Bea (died July 27, 2004). In his early years, Henn operated his own successful welding business for a number of years. During his life he developed many hobbies, among them sailing and even took on an amazing task of building his own race car. He was well-known around the Comox Marina and sailing played a large part in his life. Later he tried his hand at precision woodworking at which he became a master. He crafted many items over the years ranging in size from wooden salad bowls to canoes. He also perfected the craft of making harps and taught himself to play this heavenly instrument. He was a humble man and never boasted of his accomplishments. Little did he know how much family and friends admired his many talents and accomplishments. After the loss of Bea, his companion was his loyal dog Pepper. They were a familiar duo around town. They made many friends on their daily visits to Starbucks. While a patient at St. Josephâ€™s for the last two months, his spirits were kept up by surprise visits from family members and also his special friends who would stop by for visits. Hennâ€™s family would like to extend heartfelt thank you to Dr. Brailey, Dr. Ostry and the nurses and staff of St. Josephâ€™s Hospital for the compassionate care shown to Henn during his illness and passing. A celebration of Hennâ€™s life will be held on Saturday, August 11th at 11:00 a.m. at Comox Valley Funeral Home on Ryan Road with a reception to follow immediately after the service. For those who wish to make a donation to a charity in memory of Henn, they may be made to M.A.R.S.; Wheels for Wellness or the Cumberland Health Centre.

Canada 17th at Olympic men’s beach volleyball Reader-Binstock drop Lucky Losers game to Italy Earle Couper Record Staff

Canada’s men’s beach volleyball team bowed out of medal contention Thursday afternoon with a 2-0 (21-16, 22-20) loss to Italy in the Lucky Losers bracket. Martin Reader (Comox) and Josh Binstock (Toronto), a first-year team, won their opening game at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England but dropped their next three. Even in their first game against host Great Britain, the Canadians received great crowd support. Daniele Lupo and Paolo Nicolai of Italy advanced to the final round of 16 while the Canadian team will have time to reflect on their momentous feat of representing their country on the international stage. In the other Lucky Losers game Thursday, Germany’s Kay Matysik and Jonathan Erdmann fought back from losing the opening set to beat the Czech Republic’s Premysl Kubala and Petr Benes. Losing the play-in matches means Canada

and the Czechs officially receive 17th place finishes. Following six spectacular days of round-robin pool play matches and the two play-in matches Thursday night, eight men’s teams did not advance to Friday’s start of the single-elimination rounds for the remaining 16 teams. A total of 24 men’s beach volleyball teams from 17 countries have been competing in London since last Saturday and half of them were the last to finish three rounds of pool play Thursday evening in the purposebuilt, sold-out 15,000-seat stadium on the grounds of the iconic Horse Guards Parade. (The majestic venue also includes a portion of adjacent St. James Park in historic central London). The top two finishers in each pool automatically moved forward, after any ties were broken, to Friday’s start of the single-elimination bracket play for the remaining 16 teams on the way to the beach volleyball podium. Additionally, the top two third-place teams, again after ties were broken, automatically moved forward. The other four thirdplace teams played two special play-in games late

Thursday night to determine the final two teams for the knockout rounds. The winners advanced to elimination play and the losers eliminated with 17th-place finishes. Four sessions were held Friday with two matches in each (one per gender) for the first half of the round of 16 matches with the balance played on Saturday. The qualification process for this year’s Olympic Games beach volleyball competition was modified from previous years to determine the 24 teams for each gender. A total of 16 teams qualified for the Games through the Olympic Ranking which is based primarily on FIVB SWATCH World Tour standings, with five more joining as winners of the AVC, CAVB, CEV, CSV and NORCECA Continental Cup finals (which is how Reader-Binstock qualified) and two from the World Cup Olympic Qualification Tournament. Great Britain was granted a berth in each gender as hosts. The sold-out beach volleyball competition at the London 2012 Olympic Games continues through to Aug. 9.

Levins, Kabush up next Earle Couper Record Staff

GEOFF KABUSH IS attending his third consecutive Olympic Games.

Two more Comox Valley athletes are stepping into the spotlight at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Cam Levins of Black Creek ran the 10,000m final on Saturday, Aug. 4 and finished a very respectable 11th in his first Olympic appearance. Levins clocked 27 minutes, 40.68 seconds in the event, which was won by Great Britain’s Mo Farah, who’s also expected in the field for the 5,000m. It was the best time ever by a Canadian in the event, much faster than the 32:36.20 that Joseph Keeper ran to take fourth at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Levins hopes he can fare even better in the 5,000 — the race he regards as

more of his specialty. He won both the 5,000m and the 10,000m at the NCAA championships in June. Today (Aug. 8) he ran the first round of the 5,000m event at 2:45 a.m. PDT. The top eight advance to the final, which goes Saturday, Aug. 11 at 11:30 a.m. PDT. The first-time Olympian has had a meteoric rise on the Canadian distance running scene and is a three-time Canadian crosscountry champion (2009, 2011-2012). Hecompleted a gold medal double at the 2012 NCAA championships that had not been matched in over a decade, making him just the 11th man to win the “distance double” after he won the 5000m (13: 40.05), just two, days after he won the 10,000m (28: 07.14). Levins represented Canada at the 2011 World Cross

Country Championships in Punta Umbria and is a twotime 2009 Canada Games champion in the 1500m and the 5000m. Meanwhile, Courtenay’s Geoff Kabush is gearing up to appear in his third consecutive Olympic Games. He races the men’s mountain bike cross-country event on the final day of competition, Sunday, July 12 at 5:30 a.m. PDT. He had a ninth place finish in Sydney in 2000 and a top-20 result in Beijing in 2008. Kabush has dominated the Canadian mountain bike scene, earning consecutive podium spots at the Canadian championships since 2004 – seven of them gold. In 2011, Kabush finished in the top-10 at the World Championships in Champery, Switzerland. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Comox Bay sailors race to podium gold in the Club 420 fleet with Alex Brown and Oliver Barry taking the silver. Max Brown earned a bronze in the Optimist fleet and Aiden Collins and Sally Brown both finished fouth in the boys and girls Laser Radial fleet, respectively. Nigel Fletcher and

Sam Gregson rounded out the team in the Optimist Blue Fleet. Day one of racing offered near storm-like conditions with numerous boats capsizing and somewhat unseasonal weather; the wind reached 35 knots, equivalent to 65 km/h. “Not unlike regular

course for our ‘North Island’ competitors!” a Comox Bay Sailing Club spokesperson noted. With the sun returning for the second day the over 50 athletes from teams across the province enjoyed the more typical conditions of Crescent Beach.

“The team would like to thank coaches Rob Douglas, Ali Pochereva and Andrew Walther along with the generous support of the club and parents for a wonderful season of racing,” the spokesperson said. – Comox Bay Sailing Club

Good luck in new location After searching for months with a soft deadline, the Comox Valley Food Bank is in a new home. Tension rose in recent weeks as the CVFB board of directors operated under a hard deadline from their Habitat for Humanity landlord. Not that the food bank people were complaining. Habitat was extremely patient and understanding while the search continued. It’s just that the Habitat board needed the space occupied by the food bank, and had issued an end-of-August moving deadline. Buying or leasing a property for a household or even just one person is a complicated transaction, although the food bank did not have the extra wrinkle of having to sell its existing building. Still, there were some specific things on the food bank board’s shopping list that a new home needed to have, including a central location. A large space is needed to sort and assemble food as well as distributing it. Off-street parking for food bank clients and volunteers, the lack of which torpedoed previous interest in a Tin Town site, is another must. Food bank spokesman Jeff Hampton is pleased that the new home at 1491 McPhee Ave. in Courtenay offers about 2,800 square feet, 1,100 more than at the Habitat headquarters. There’s also a large sorting room in the back and storage upstairs. Does it sound too good to be true? Let’s hope not, because the food bank provides an essential service to an estimated 18 per cent of the Comox Valley’s population. The new location is right across from Courtenay Elementary School, whose staff and parents might have concerns about young students interacting with food bank clients. Food bank volunteers must be vigilant on this front, and should establish a rapport with their neighbours if they haven’t already done so. Please, neighbours, rise above NIMBYism and give this five-year lease at the food bank’s seventh location in 28 years a chance to work. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Record Question of the Week This week: Twenty-six per cent of respondents so far say they are paying extra attention to the Olympics due to the three Comox Valley athletes in the Games. Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll on the mainpage.

Aft After a chilly spring, locals are adjusting to summer, which came with a vengeance. Nautical and Filberg fans appreciated the coolness Monday.

It looks like a federal commission is recommending most of the Comox Valley join Nanaimo-Alberni in a riding redistribution.

What to do about Maple Pool? Dear editor, I’m writing again to review the unexpected response we’ve had to our letter published last week about the Maple Pool situation. After reading it, a number of people have contacted us, all of them adamantly agreeing with what we said in our letter, and all of them with the same question: what can we DO about it? Like us, it seems that many people are very frustrated by the council’s continued procrastination on the issue, while the Lins quietly just get on with dealing directly and effectively with the problem, without help from anyone. No one who spoke to us could understand why the council persists in placing every obstacle they possibly can in the way of the Lins, rather than offering to assist them with their excellent work. All agreed that the location of Maple Pool is ideal, and solves the council’s problem of where to place an affordable home for those who need it. They even think it could become a model for other cities dealing with the same problem. Many people are very angry with and feel betrayed by the mayor, whom they voted for because of his promise to stop harassing Maple Pool. The public elected this council and mayor because they promised to show more common sense than the last council, and they are bitterly disappointed, some having lost faith in the election process altogether. If there is a zoning issue at Maple Pool, people want to know why property is easily rezoned all the time for big developers (as the residents of McDonald Road know all too well), but not for Maple Pool, when rezoning that property would not have any impact on the surrounding area. Like us, everyone who has contacted us simply cannot understand why the government is so

heartless and cruel, so dead set on closing Maple Pool, and why they aren’t offering the Lins all the help they need instead. It really is mind-boggling. Many of them seem to think that a person (or persons) on the council stands to somehow profit by the closing of the site and that council members have their own agenda, which is not in the public interest. This is a sad but understandable attitude given the lack of trust and confidence the council’s treatment of this issue seems to have instilled in the public. As to the big question everyone has asked me, I have no idea what we can do about it. I am just an observer, an exasperated newspaper-reader, and a writer, with a very busy life. I’m not a leader-type, an organizer, or a politician, and living in a regional district, I didn’t vote for the council either. I do not know any of the parties concerned personally and I’ve never visited Maple Pool. We have only stated the obvious from what we’ve read over the last couple of years about the issue. It appears to me that public opinion doesn’t have any government influence once someone is elected, even if they’re elected on false promises. Therefore someone with political and leadership skills would be required to step up to the plate and take on the council on behalf of Maple Pool. There are a lot of people in the Comox Valley who are capable, talented and experienced at dealing with politicians and legal and practical matters. We can just hope that one or more step forward soon to take up this important issue before it’s too late. I’m sure they could rely on a lot of public support. Those who have contacted us have wondered about starting a petition. Do petitions do any good? I don’t know, it might

make people feel like they’re doing something, and perhaps it would be useful. Would people outside of the city be allowed to sign? How would it be worded? Common sense tells me the time and effort would be far better spent on actually building a dike or berm at Maple Pool, if flooding is genuinely the issue concerning the council, or in doing whatever is actually required to meet whatever regulations are supposed to be in violation. Someone suggested forming a Friends of Maple Pool organization. This sounds good to me, if the group were actually powerful enough to change how the government insists upon dealing with Maple Pool, and also if the group were prepared to actually lend useful help to the Lins’ efforts. Another group sitting around talking on and on about the issue wouldn’t be of any more use than the council is. We think possibly the most effective thing people can do is to personally contact Courtenay City Council (at City Hall), which is pursuing Maple Pool in court, and the regional district (across the street from Monte Christo Restaurant), which currently has some money to spend on this very problem, and make your views known. Writing is probably best, and send it to the newspapers as well, so other people know they are not alone in their thoughts and frustrations about this issue. You also need to contact your own government representatives and let them know your feelings, and insist that something be done. My husband and I will be there with tools in hand when dike-building or some other practical and needed work begins. Summer Joy, Merville

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Wednesday, August 8, 2012

Notice would help food bank folk Horrified about riding proposal

Dear editor, I am one of the fortunate ones who don’t require the services of the Comox Valley Food Bank. However I have friends who do. On the last Thursday of each month they carpool up to the food bank to receive their meagre but much-appreciated monthly allotment of food.

Imagine their surprise when they drove up to the usual place on July 26 only to find the place boarded up with no explanation. My friends later found out that the food bank was closed and would be reopening at a new but not-disclosed location sometime the next week. Now due to the fact that my friends

have the use of a vehicle this was not too much of an inconvenience to them (except for going hungry for a further week) but for others who walk or spend the last of their welfare pittance on bus fare with kids straggling alongside, this must have been a nightmare. I’m glad the food bank has found new facilities,

Please complain with specifics Dear editor, A writer in Friday’s paper voices his disgust for three politicians, several times repeating the theme, ‘I have had enough.’ But Mr. Vavra does not show a clear comprehension of what displeases him. Two or three unsupported claims about Mr. Harper give the impression that he simply does not like the prime minister, not that Mr. Harper is a bad politician. The insulting and inaccurate harangue against the provincial premier ignores the fact that Miss Clark actually objects to the Northern Gateway pipelines. She will consider them only if Alberta promises adequate (from her perspective) compensation, presumably including financial assets and environmental pro-

JOHN DUNCAN

tection. Contrary to Mr. Vavra’s claim, she does not think ‘that we . . . want the Enbridge pipeline.’ Our friend’s last target is our member of Parliament. I am not familiar with Mr. Vavra’s disappointed attempt to contact Mr. Duncan, but his statements are hard to believe. Mr. Duncan’s staff understandably cannot take care of every-

one’s problems, but they do genuinely care about assisting those who want their help. And the accusation that Mr. Duncan is ‘never here’ is false. Although his work takes him across Canada and the world, he does spend time locally. In fact, I met him in Courtenay only a few weeks ago, and I am sure that he is willing to hear from his constituents. Mr. Vavra may have real reasons for discontent, but it does not appear that these individuals are significant contributors. Perhaps in the future he may be less ready to blame everything on politicians and proclaim to us that, for no obvious reason, he has ‘had enough.’ Brendon Johnson, Courtenay

Dead fish can go with the flow Dear editor, Over the past months I’ve sent a number of letters to John Duncan asking for his feedback or opinion or position on some of the many issues of concern with this government. Thus far, I’ve received absolutely no response. Reading some of the letters to the editor and talking to other people, it seems that he hasn’t responded to anyone (so I won’t take it personally).

It seems that Harper has effectively muzzled our Conservative representatives so that they are not only not allowed to speak in public without strict oversight, they are also not allowed to speak to their constituents — the people they are supposed to be representing. I am increasingly concerned by the actions of a prime minister who seems bent on silencing all voices except his

own — and by the lack of action by those whose job it is to represent us. I know that especially in this government, it takes courage to stand up and speak. However, to quote the activist J. Hightower, “The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.” It is well past time to stop acting like dead fish. Debby Howard, Comox Valley

but it might have been a wise idea to notify the media of this before moving rather than after. The only things I have read in the local papers were articles in each in the Aug. 3 editions. A bit late for many of your customers, I’m afraid. To the wonderful people who work and volunteer at the food bank, keep up the excellent work. But, heaven forbid you should have to relocate again. Please for your clientele’s sake, drop the media a note beforehand. Sarah Paddock, Courtenay

Dear editor, Community alert! We in the Comox Valley have somehow become the butt of an incredible bad federal joke. I have just received a copy of the proposed electoral map of B.C. for the distribution of federal districts and I am horrified. The plan for our area is to basically divide Courtenay in half, with all of us north of the river to remain in the North Island District — and those of us south of the river to join the Nanaimo-Alberni riding. What’s wrong with this picture? First of all, we have the threat of splitting our community at a time when we’re working so hard at building community, so vital for our future. At a time when our various governments are

Bicycle patrol effective

Dear editor, As a Courtenay resident living close to downtown, a cyclist and a downtown shopper I have noticed the presence of the RCMP bicycle patrol in the area. The bike patrol officers are very friendly and approachable and maintain a more civil environment for all. I have noticed that since the presence of the bike patrol there has been a positive change in the street activities. The downtown and Lewis Park are definitely more inviting. For those who think that bike and foot patrol is a waste of police efforts and some sort of naive grin and wave exercise, perhaps you could park your cars in the downtown, on your way to the big box stores and malls that have undermined the town centre, meet the constables and gain insight into what constitutes civil society. That would be an exercise in common sense rather than Comox Valley Common Sense. Donovan Carter, Courtenay

doing their best to consolidate to “save money,” we’re being dissipated. Look ahead to 2015 and imagine two campaigns in Courtenay, two entirely separate electoral regions for voters. Imagine the political signage! The confusion! Perhaps you’re worried about the sanity of this proposal. If so, you have until Aug. 30, 2012 to make written notice to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. indicating that you will make a presentation at the Courtenay hearing on Oct. 15, 2012. Check out the information at www.federalredistribution.ca. This hearing would be cancelled if there is a lack of presentations. Let’s let them know that this is not going to happen and why! Dorothy Drubek, Comox Valley

Tearing its heart out Dear editor, A map of the proposal for redistribution of federal electoral boundaries has been published and delivered. It appears that the appointees to the commission, assisted by federal bureaucrats who have likely never seen the Valley, wish to tear its heart out. To divide this community along the Courtenay part of Comox Road and

the Old Highway makes no sense. There will be a hearing at Crown Isle on Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. I urge residents to go to the website www. federal-redistribution.ca and record your desire to appear and make a submission in opposition to this ridiculous proposal as it stands. Tom Finkelstein, Comox Valley

Time to speak is now Dear editor, You have until Aug. 31 to submit your letter of comment on your views, knowledge, concerns on the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project Joint Review Panel. To do so, visit www.gatewaypanel.review-examen.

VICTORIA â€” The B.C. Liberal government is taking its new hard-line approach to federal environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September. Environment Minister Terry Lake has filed the B.C. governmentâ€™s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the worldâ€™s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the â€œtough questionsâ€? B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridgeâ€™s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan. Thatâ€™s all fine, and to be expected after Premier Christy Clarkâ€™s high-profile confrontation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiersâ€™ meeting in Halifax. Clarkâ€™s demands for â€œworld-leadingâ€? safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and

accommodate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a â€œfair shareâ€? of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.â€™s risk has been assaulted from all sides. Pipeline opponents seized on Clarkâ€™s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition. There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the â€œfair shareâ€? demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: â€œThe Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.â€? The ladyâ€™s not for blinking, but neither is B.C.â€™s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark. All this political theatre doesnâ€™t amount to much. Iâ€™ll stand by

POLITICS

OM LETCHER

my January prediction that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year eco-experiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges, while continuing the media-spinning and protest support they are doing now. Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, itâ€™s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the TransMountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby

and the U.S. for more than 60 years. The competing expansion proposal by Trans-Mountainâ€™s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable? Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate Bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouverâ€™s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely for nearly 100 years, but the congested modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for

near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.â€™s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain openminded about the costs and benefits of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds. Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the antipipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but thatâ€™s apparently out the window with an election looming.

Neighbours neighbourly The idea to have a neighbourhood party was cooked up by residents of 11th Street when they bumped into each other at the Elevate the Arts event this spring. Elevate the Arts was an open-air public event, with a variety of activities to do with music, art, dance, circus. A few 600 block 11th Street neighbours, who hadn’t seen each other for months, ran into each other and chatted, lamenting the fact that they hardly saw each other and commenting that they’d like to get to know others on their block a little better. So it seemed a good idea to have a first annual block party, inviting everyone on the 600 block, and several others who lived in the neighbourhood. Invitations were made and delivered. Dorothy Levett, 90, has an illustrious history with 11th Street (or Courtenay Avenue, as it was called) having lived there in different houses, for 85 of her 90 years. Dorothy’s next door neighbour, Heather Wilkinson, had another thought — “What a great opportunity this would be to recognize Dorothy, and decorate her for ‘years of selfless

service’ as Mayor of 11th Street.” Dorothy’s maternal grandfather, Charles Shannon, came to Courtenay in the late 1800s. His tiny house with slanting floors and a big garden, still stands today on the corner of 11th and Grieve. Dorothy’s father, Len Roberts, moved out to Courtenay in 1919, when he was 19 years old, and married Leah Shannon, Charles’ daughter. Dorothy was born in 1922 in the house next door to her Granddad Shannon’s. Leah’s sister, Dorothy’s auntie, lived across the street in house that looks much like the Shannon house, being quite tiny, and although it grew, it never became very big. Over the years, Dorothy lived in two homes with her parents, one with her husband and young son, Bob, and one on her own, built for her by her father after her husband died, many years ago, totalling four of the houses on the south side of the block. On July 28, the 600 block of 11th Street had a party on the front lawns of Dorothy and the Kipp family. Neighbours, some of whom hadn’t met or spoken much, although they had

lived on the same block for many years, and some new to 11th gathered on Dorothy’s front lawn and shared potluck supper. A stirring Mayoral Recognition Ceremony was held, heralded with fanfare on the trombone. Ribbons and medals were placed on a surprised Dorothy by neighbours in recognition of her many and varied contributions to the neighbourhood. She was also recognized as an important Holder of the History of 11th Street. However, it did become apparent that others on the street, the Urquharts who are of the Hobson and Urquhart Courtenay families, also knew a great deal about the history of 11th having lived there for 49 years. The neighbourhood gathering spanned ages 0 to 90 and a great time was had by all, and a greater sense of community and history born. Children played together as adults sat and shared food and stories. Try one of your own in your neighbourhood, everyone on 11th had lots of fun and plan to have a second neighbourhood potluck, possibly before this year is up. — 11th Street residents

DOROTHY LEVETT, 90 is the ‘Mayor of 11th Street.’
