MAKING THE CUT
Mark Valliere finished in a four-way tie for 39th at the 2012 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Camelot Golf and Country Club in Cumberland, Ont. The 108th playing of the venerable Golf Canada event was held Aug. 7-10. Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., carded a final-round, even-par 72 to win the title for the second consecutive year. Valliere, who plays out of Crown Isle in Courtenay, shot rollercoaster rounds of 71-75-71-76 to finish at +5 293. ... Complete story on ■ 18

Alison Taplay is concerned about tanker accidents, oil spills and even terrorism that could threaten more than 1,000 kilometres of pipeline constructed in an earthquake zone. Geraldine Kenny questions if the public or the applicant will pay cleanup costs when and if an oil spill occurs. They were two of about 20 speakers at a community hearing for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project on Friday at the Comox Community Centre, where the National Energy Board had conducted hearings in March. Enbridge proposes to ship upwards of 500,000 barrels of oil per day from the Alberta tar sands to Kitimat in northern B.C. At first she thought the idea ludicrous, but Taplay fears the pipeline could be a target for terrorism. “We all need to adapt our thinking to these new realities,” she said. Taplay also noted Enbridge’s “poor record of responding in a timely manner” to spills two years ago in the Kalamazoo River in Michigan and more recently in Wisconsin. She asked the NEB to protect the coast and the public from a project driven in her opinion by “corporate greed.” Kenny, who operates a B&B on Quadra Island, feels the proposal defies common sense. “An oil spill on our coast would shut down the coastal tourism industry for decades, let alone those depending on marine life for food,” she said. “If he (Enbridge) was my plumber, I would fire him. If Air Canada or Lufthansa had Enbridge’s safety record, they would be out of business.” Taplay and Kenny both feel the Enbridge proposal dishonours First Nations that oppose the ... see MORE HEARINGS ■ 2

Comox Valley Olympians historical Earle Couper Record Staff
They didn’t medal, but they did make Canadian Olympic history. Comox Valley athletes Cam Levins and Geoff Kabush were both in action on the final weekend of the 2012 Summer Games in London. At the Olympic stadium on Saturday, distance runner Levins became the first Canadian in 100 years to run in the men’s 5,000metre final. Battling illness, he finished 14th in the 15-man field.

On Sunday, cross-country cyclist Kabush finished a solid eighth in his 50-rider event at Hadleigh Farm, the best men’s Olympic mountain bike result in Canadian history. Competing in his third Olympics, Kabush topped his previous best Games result, ninth in Sydney in 2000. In a race to the wire, Jaroslav Kulhavy of the Czech Republic edged Swiss rider Nino Schurter by a single second. Italy’s Marco Aurelio Fontana took the bronze, riding the final few kilometres without a bicycle seat. The winning time was one hour,
29 minutes, seven seconds. Kabush finished in 1:30.43, just 1:36 behind Kulhavy, after trying to track lead groups of three and then five riders. “I just wasn’t able to get in that lead group,” the Courtenay competitor told the media. “But I was close, maybe just lacking the little bit of snap to get up there with the leaders,” he said. “I really felt comfortable and confident on the starting line. It was a close race and there are so many variables and things that can change the course of a race,” ... see REALITY SHORT ■ 3

Kenny noted 61 First Nations in the Fraser River watershed signed a 2010 declaration that prohibits the transport of tar sands oil through their territories or through salmon migration routes. The province will cross examine Northern Gateway Pipelines on the Enbridge project at joint panel final hearings scheduled in Edmonton, Prince George and Prince Rupert from Sept. 4 to December. Subject to regulatory approval, construction of the pipeline is proposed to extend from mid-2014 to the latter part of 2017. The public and government review process continues into next year.

CAM LEVINS WAS hampered by a cold when he ran the men’s 5,000-metre final. The Black Creek distance specialist finished 14th. Martin Reader (right), the Comox Valley’s third Olympian, celebrates a point in beach volleyball. CAM LEVINS PHOTO BY CLAUS ANDERSEN/ATHLETICS CANADA
Reality short of Olympic dreams, but results solid Continued from front
Kabush said. “I dreamed big and I came up with the goal of winning a medal. But I accept my eighth place and I’m satisfied,” the seventime Canadian champion stated. To appreciate how close Kabush was on Sunday, he finished two minutes closer to the gold medallist than fellow Canadian Catharine Pendrel managed in the women’s race the day before. Pendrel, the reigning world champion, finished ninth. The only other Canadian in the men’s race, Max Plaxton of Victoria, had an early fall and later abandoned the race just before the 20-km mark. The 34.08-km men’s route saw the riders complete seven loops of a course just under five kilometres long. “Coming to the Olympics you always dream big. I definitely came here with the goal of a medal, but top eight is a great result,”
Kabush told reporters. “I’ll take some satisfaction out of that and just continue to enjoy riding my bike.” The 35-year-old Courtenay native, a graduate of G.P. Vanier, would get his next kick at the Olympic cat in 2016 in Rio. Meanwhile, Kabush’s fellow Vanier grad Levins, who on Aug. 4 made an auspicious Olympic debut by running the fastest 10,000m race by a Canadian, followed that up on Aug. 8 by becoming the first Canadian to qualify for the 5,000m final in 100 years. Levins set a personal best of 13:18.29 in the 5,000m qualifying heats (finishing eighth), and prior to the Aug. 11 final told reporters, “I would really love a top-10 performance,” in the 5,000m. “I’ve dreamed of this my whole life. I’ve looked up to these guys for years, just waiting for the day I could run with them and experience that. It’s
and you kind of need those to run well,” Levins said. “When they’re filled up with junk, it’s kind of hard to breathe. “I was hoping I could sort of medicate it off to where I could run well. But it still didn’t work out the way I wanted. I hate making excuses, but I just didn’t feel like myself at all when I started.” Great Britain’s Mo Farah won in 13:41.66 to add the 5,000m to his 10,000m gold medal. American Bernard Lagat, one of Levins’ idols, finished fourth in 13:42.99. Levins finished in 13:51.87, far off the PB he ran in Wednesday’s semifinal. He said that he’d started to get sick by then, but it didn’t affect him until afterward. Although disappointed in his result (clearly evidenced in his post-race television interview), Levins appreciated the opportunity to compete on the world stage, which is where his career is
happened. Hopefully in the future I can run with them the whole time.” As his hometown Black Creek fans watched from their homes or gathered at the Salmon Point Pub for the event, they saw Levins hang back in the field, with his trademark finishing kick never materializing. The reason did not become known until after the race, when he revealed he had been battling a cold for almost an entire week. The Southern Utah University track star said he became ill after his first race in London and could not shake it off in time to perform his best in what is usually his best event. He said he was being treated with antibiotics for a chest cold he picked up from a member of the Canadian team in the athletes’ village. “It was just a bad cold that’s moved down into my chest, into my lungs,

taking him as he prepares to turn pro. “I watched a lot of these athletes on TV in the past, in Diamond League events, world championships and the Olympics. I’d be saying, ‘I wish I could go race these guys, be as good as them one day.’ And now I’m going to be racing them all the time (on the European circuit). I just can’t think that these guys are amazing. I have to compete against them,” Levins told a reporter. After running his final NCAA race for SUU earlier this year, Levins signed a long-term contract with Nike, which will ease his financial worries as he pursues his sport on a full-time, professional basis. And a return to the track four years from now in Rio is also very much a part of his plans. The Comox Valley was also well represented at the 2012 Olympics by Highland grad Martin Reader, who

along with partner Josh Binstock tied for 17th in the 24-team men’s beach volleyball event. Reader and Binstock won their first game at the Horse Guards Parade venue then lost their next three. The Canadian duo, in their first year together, were competitive in all their matches and were crowd favourites every time they stepped onto the sand. OLYMPIC NOTES Levins’ 27:40.68 in the 10,000m was not quite a PB but 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, the same year Alex Decoteau of Edmonton finished sixth in the 5,000m … Like Levins, Keeper (a member of the Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba) ran both the 5,000m and 10,000m races. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Developers express concern about input into bylaw Renée Andor Record Staff
The final adoption of the development applications procedures bylaw was postponed last week to allow for public consultation. The bylaw modifies established procedures for amending the community plan, zoning bylaw, or a land use contract, or for the consideration of development permits, development variance permits, temporary use permits, or applications to the Agricultural Land Commission. The development procedure bylaw is being modified to provide for improved clar-
ity and efficiency. A public information meeting is scheduled for Aug. 22 at 5 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall (830 Cliffe Ave.). Acting Mayor Bill Anglin noted he had heard some concern from the development community regarding the amount of input it has had into the proposed modifications. A copy of the proposed bylaw is available on the City of Courtenay’s website at www. courtenay.ca. It may also be inspected at the City of Courtenay planning department at City Hall during office hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to

Pedestrians will soon be able to cross Fitzgerald Avenue at 19th Street more safely thanks to Courtenay council’s approval of overhead pedestrianactivated flashers. City director of operational services Kevin Lagan noted the signals will allow for “advanced warning for vehicles approaching the crossing area,” in his report to council. The cost is expected to be about $40,000, but a grant from ICBC for Road Safety Improvements may be available should the project be completed in 2012. ••• Residents of the Arden Road area will
South Courtenay project OKed A total of 300 units will be phased in by Buckstone Record Staff The first batch of Buckstone Investments Ltd.’s proposed units for an area in South Courtenay got the green light from
Courtenay council last week. Council unanimously passed a development permit for 69 units, which will be made up of single residential homes, duplexes and carriage homes. The development will be phased in with a total of 300 units in the residential development called The Ridge on 73 acres of land
bound by Fraser Road, Buckstone Road and Comox Logging Road in South Courtenay. This land was annexed into the City of Courtenay in 2007 and is part of the South Courtenay Local Area Plan (SCLAP), which was adopted by council in 2009. Buckstone Investments Ltd. bought the land in January 2008,
and The Ridge is the first development application within the SCLAP. Coun. Ronna-Rae Leonard noted she’s glad to see the project moving along with a strong focus on environmental initiatives. Some environmental considerations as included as conditions in the development permit are — the community will be pedestrian friendly with a trail network throughout, trees will be planted and natural areas restored, and all homes must be solar ready, among other things. Coun. Manno Theos was also pleased with the plans for the area. “It definitely meets a lot of criteria that our community has been gearing towards, you know, there’s a mixture of homes that are going to be built here,” he said.

have more chances to provide input on the future of their neighbourhood. Courtenay is in the midst of developing a Local Area Plan for the Arden Road area because of development interest and a possible annexation of Comox Valley Regional District Areas A and C in the future. The plan will address issues like servicing, environmentally sensitive areas, appropriate land uses and transportation. One initial community workshop happened July 17, but City director of development services Peter Crawford told council three days of workshops are tentatively set for midSeptember. “Coming out of that then will be a development of a preferred plan,” he said, adding the finalized plan would be looked over by residents for further comment. Then, “ideally, we’re looking at mid-October to be able to come to council and finalize that.” ••• The Lewis Centre renovation project is
on schedule — and on budget — so far, according to Vic Davies Architects’ Kevin Klippenstein in his presentation to council. The project is set to start mid-August with the excavation and civil works as the first stage. A report to council from City director of community services Randy Wiwchar outlines the work will “undoubtedly have an effect on the flow of traffic at the centre, but all steps are being taken to minimize dis-
ruptions.” The facility will remain open during construction to ensure programs and services are still offered. The project budget is $5.4 million, and so far a $400,000 grant has been announced by the Province, but the report notes City staff are still searching for other funding sources. Grant applications have been submitted to the Federal Infrastructure program and the New Horizons’ seniors program. writer@comoxvalleyrecord.com

The Lilli House shelter reached capacity for most of the past month, prompting the Comox Valley Transition Society to accommodate a number of women in motels. The situation is a sign of the times when shelters and food banks are servicing a greater number of clients, some of whom might not fit the perceived profile of a homeless person, the CVTS program coordinator said in an interview. “I think when people think about the homeless, the image that comes to mind is somewhat down-andout guys mostly,” Anne Davis said. “But it’s a far more diverse population than that, and women and kids tend to be overlooked in that equation, and seniors. We’ve certainly seen a lot of older women.” Another group is middle class women who have left an abusive relationship, Davis added. Such women live in poverty if their case is tied up in court for years before reaching a property settlement. Davis said a diverse cross-section of people means a variety of housing solutions are needed in the Comox Valley.

“It’s going to take diverse solutions as well,” said Davis, who credits Dali and Jin Lin for providing affordable rent at the Maple Pool Campsite in Courtenay. However, she said an RV is not an option for women and children who are leaving Lilli House. Neither is an apartment, which is appropriate for some members of the homeless population but not for women who have had a lifetime of trauma because this type of program depends on roommates. “They really need their own space, and also it does nothing to increase the supply of housing, which is what we’re desperately short on here. To house people in apartments will meet the immediate need of some people but it won’t increase the housing stock,” Davis said. “Transition Society really wants to move forward on housing for women and children who are leaving Lilli House. It’s called second-stage housing, and it typically involves a number of supports.

Cormorant crew rescue pair The crew of an RCAF Cormorant helicopter successfully evacuated two men who were forced to make an emergency landing along the shoreline of Pitt River, near Pitt Lake. The two men on board the small private airplane were forced
to make an emergency landing Thursday evening on a trip from Pitt Meadows to Squamish after they smelled fuel and noticed a leak. Losing fuel rapidly, they were able to land along the rocky shore, although the impact of the landing sheared off
Man ran, but could not hide The Comox Valley RCMP took a 36-yearold Campbell River man into custody using a true team approach. Just before 10 a.m. on Aug. 2, the Comox Valley’s RCMP traffic section was working in the Black Creek area when they attempted to pull over a green Ford Explorer. The driver refused to pull over and continued travelling northbound on Highway 19A before turning down Lalum Road. The driver fled the vehicle on foot when he reached a gate partway down this gravel road. The RCMP had by now confirmed that the vehicle had been stolen out of Courtenay a couple of days prior. With the assistance of the RCMP helicopter, the police dog section, general duty members, plainclothes members, and the forensic section, the RCMP successfully took the man into custody. This man remains in custody at this time and is facing numerous charges of possession of stolen property, flight from police and driving while disqualified. The RCMP thank the public for their patience
and understanding as they worked to capture the suspect while ensuring the safety of local residents and families camping in a nearby campground. — Comox Valley RCMP
the landing gear. They exited the plane uninjured and activated their emergency beacons. The signals were picked up by aircraft in the local area which relayed to Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Victoria (JRCC Victoria). JRCC Victoria requested a 442 Squadron Cormorant helicopter, based at 19 Wing Comox, to respond. After homing in on the emergency beacons, the Cormorant set down at approximately Anytime is Prime Time
7:40 p.m. and found both occupants wellprepared for rescue. “They had a fire already made and were prepared to spend the night if needed,” said Capt. Jean Leroux, aircraft commander. “The pilot had never had something like this happen and they were very glad to see us.” After loading the men into the helicopter, the search and rescue crew dropped the men off at the Squamish Airport. — 19 Wing Comox

Taxpayers in the Comox Valley and other Island municipalities could pay a quarter of the approximately $20 million needed to fully restore the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway if the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) or another party doesn’t buck up. But that would only amount to a couple of yearly trips to Tim Hortons, according to Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula, a member of the Island Corridor Foundation board. Senior governments have committed a combined $15 million, which ICF chief operating officer Graham Bruce said will fund 10 years worth of passenger rail service. As for the other $5.4 million, ICET had initially said no but is now revisit-

ing the request, Jangula said. The foundation is also appealing to private industry or may borrow on the open market, among other options. Another possibility is a levy, which would amount to three or four dollars per year per homeowner from Victoria to the Comox Valley and to Port Alberni. “We’re all going to benefit from this railway when it comes back, through business and through tourism,” Jangula said. Passenger train service had been suspended when the line was no longer deemed safe and funding was not available to repair decayed rail ties and

You are not what you eat Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Just because you eat something doesn’t mean you digest it. So says Van Clayton Powel, author of You Are Not What You Eat, who will give a free presentation about his book Aug. 16 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Courtenay library. As opposed to eliminating foods from their diet, the book explains how people can start putting foods back into their diet. Powel is a former psychiatric nurse who specialized in addictions treatment and emergency psychiatric assessments. The Whistler resident spent time in Asia studying traditional medical systems, martial arts and yoga. Plagued with his own chronic digestive problems, Powel discovered the solution was not what he ate but how he ate. “As a result of following these techniques that I learned when I lived in Asia, I can eat anything I want again. It was kind of an inspiration for the book recognizing that if I’d known this stuff earlier my own prob-
lems would have been a heckuva lot shorter.” Powel has been presenting at libraries in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. He is in Campbell River Tuesday and Nanaimo Wednesday.
“So far the response has been amazing,” he said, noting standing room only at his Burnaby presentation. For more information visit YouAreNOTWhatYouEat.com. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

RACHEL BLANEY WILL join the Conference Board of Canada’s Leadership Roundtable on Immigration.
Board invitation accepted A local woman has accepted an invitation to join the Conference Board of Canada’s Leadership Roundtable on Immigration. Rachel Blaney is the executive director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre of the Comox Valley. “We are very pleased with Rachel’s accepted invitation of this amazing opportunity,” IWC board chair Diane Bojsza said. “It is a compliment to the communities we serve and an acknowledgement of the local leadership and expertise concerning immigration in our rural communities.” The Conference Board of Canada is a respected voice in Canada. Its mission builds leadership capacity for a better Canada by creating and sharing insights on economic trends, public policy and organizational performance. The goal of the roundtable is to develop and implement strategies for attracting, integrating and retaining immigrants into the Canadian workforce. There is also a research component that allows the roundtable to provide direction on relevant and timely immigration research. The Immigrant Welcome Centre of North
Vancouver Island was invited to join the roundtable after Diana Mackay, Director of Education, Health and Immigration Programs of the Conference Board of Canada, presented at the Diversity Lives Here conference in Campbell River in May. Mackay was impressed by the coordinated approach the centre provides in the smaller communities it serves, leading to the invitation. “This experience will lead to more opportunities for the region we serve,” Blaney said. “The roundtable has representatives from leadership in big business, small business, government, universities and foundations.
Because immigration is an important factor in Canada’s future, it is my goal to make sure smaller communities are remembered in the planning process.” The IWC serves the Comox Valley, Campbell River and the North Island. The centres provide services to help immigrants integrate and settle into Canada. More than 350 clients have been served in the past six months as immigration continues to bring innovative and skilled newcomers to the community. For further information call 250-338-6359 or the Campbell River office at 250-830-0171. — Immigrant Welcome Centre of the Comox Valley

The All-British Meet at the Filberg will take place Aug. 19 at the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park in Comox. The car show is organized by the Old English Car Club – Comox Valley Branch. Owners of British-made cars and bikes are welcome to enter. Gates will be open at 8:30 and the fee is $10 per car owner, with some owners having more than one car or bike. The general public is encouraged to come and see the largest collection of Britishmade vehicles in the North Island area. For a donation to YANA, people have a chance to have a ride in one of the exotic or collector cars in the show. As it takes a bit of time to assemble all the cars, the public should plan to come and view from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be music, food and a special booth with many British products available in the beautiful gardens. Bring a picnic and sit on the grass. Cars are very special. Some people have owned their car from new. Many of the owners of British cars have “brought their car back to life,” in effect given it a second lifetime. A retired welder, heavyduty industry worker and a Comox Valley resident whose name is Geoff is one such man. Geoff happened to go to a garage sale in Campbell River and the widow who was holding the sale said that the trailer full of parts that was sitting in her yard was a 1936 MGT A. His friends insisted that he should buy it as a project to
keep him out of mischief now that he had retired. Geoff bought the project car in Sept 2010. The car was the third MGT A car made when the cars were being built in Britain in 1936 and they only were made until June of 1939. The MGT A is a true two-seater sports car with running boards, giving it much style. This particular car has been well travelled, as the past owner was in the RAF and after buying the car in 1970 in England he took it with him when stationed in Germany, and then when he immigrated to Canada the car had a time in Prince George before coming to the Valley. The restoration work is a long process. Parts have been sourced all over America and England. The block, crank and bearings were shipped back to England to be updated to more modern bearings as the Babbitt bearing used originally could not be restored. Miraculously this work only took two months with the cost of the shipping and taxes being more than the cost of the new cylinders and labour. One of the people he asked to give him an estimate on some work from California told him “be prepared to wait 12 months and know your bank manager real well!” Other parts of the car have been slowly coming together with special wood work being replaced using the old rotting wood as templates, just another of the skills needed to restore the car to some-

COMOX VALLEY RECORD
Mae Moore bringing her talent to Filberg Mae Moore has many claims to fame. As a recording artist, she was a major label success story, scoring nine top-40 hits, two Juno nominations and two SOCAN Awards for commercial radio airplay. As an indie artist, she has most recently garnered Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for Solo Artist of the Year and English Songwriter of the Year. She continues to attract a sizable fan-base to both her live shows and recordings. And as a personality, Mae is Canada’s quintessential bohemian, a musician, painter, and longtime environmentalist who has lived all over Canada and who now makes her home on an organic farm and heritage orchard in British Columbia’s Gulf Islands. All of these facets of Mae come together like never before on her new project, Folklore, a collection of songs inspired by Mae’s varied experiences living in different parts of the country. It was released in conjunction with a companion book featuring 30 of Mae’s acclaimed landscape paintings. Folklore is a bountiful harvest, rich in colour and texture and substance. The song Folklore explores the decisions one makes in life and how these decisions form one’s own folklore. Love is Shattered is the heartbreaking acknowledgement that important friendships can indeed be lost. Tom Thomson’s Mandolin is born of the legend and mystery surrounding the life, the death and the music of famed artist Tom Thompson. The voice, the poetry, the music, is what we look for, what we need to form our own folklore. Mae is renowned for her mature and sophisticated mixture of pop, folk and jazz music, and her sound has been captured on this recording by Joby Baker (Cowboy Junkies), who produced Alex Cuba’s Grammy-nominated and Latin Grammy-winning third album. The new mix is an atmospheric and slightly percussive blend of jazzy folk-roots with a subtle European feel to it. The core lineup sees Marc Atkinson (The Bills, Marc Atkinson Trio) on guitar, Daniel Lapp on trumpet and flugelhorn, Rick May on bass, Scott Sheerin on soprano See FOURTH, page 15

The money raised through this silent auction will go entirely to the food bank. On Aug. 7, the group handed over a $300 cheque to the food bank, proceeds collected during a private showing of the Fifth Street project. Much more will follow if the community gets involved and bids on these paintings at Percs.

Hiatus ends, Big Time Out begins It’s her voice that jumps out at you. Brodie Dawson makes a clear, direct hit and seduces you with a bit of smoky overtone. She’ll catch you at the door as the first notes of her voice seem to wrap you in a warm cloak made of sweet, earthy moodiness, and her words can almost be tasted as her stories make their way across your palette served up hot, smooth and rich on her own plate of originality. Brodie calls her style a mix of soulful ‘folky’ blues with a twist of pop and a twang of oldschool country. True to all those genres she sings of life, love, searching and finding your way. Coming out of a period of musical hiberna-
tion, she is in full form and ready to knock your socks off! On Aug. 19, she is performing at The Big Time Out in Cumberland. She’ll be joined by the incredibly
talented John Hughes on guitar and vocals, funkmaster Darryl Milne on bass, Jacob Gregory kickin’ it up on the kit, and Jenn Forsland ‘s smooth
finesse on keys and harmonies. True to Brodie’s form, there may also be a few surprise guest appearances. — Brodie Dawson

They came, they wore art – and they conquered Comox Valley Art Gallery presents awards for recent show Comox Valley Art Gallery would like to congratulate the cast of this year’s CVAG Wearable Art Show and announce award recipients. Audiences were amazed recently by the creative talents of artists and performers from Qualicum Beach to Alert Bay, with the majority of entries from the Comox Valley. The show ran for three nights in which audiences could vote for their favourite entry. The closing night celebrated the accomplishments of the cast with a wine and cheese reception. This year’s judges were Kymme Patrick, owner/creative director of TheatreWorks; Dita Runkle, an accomplished weaver and dyer and an expert in garment construction who has taught weaving and dyeing courses at NIC; and Bill Bate,
Yule. The WOW Factor Award was presented to Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining, created by Roberta Ling and performed by Tamara Ling.

Use of Textiles Award was presented to Medea and the Recycled Golden Fleece, created by Kari Glass and performed by Millie Miller. This piece explored a Greek myth with colourful layers of textiles and unusual materials such as plas-
tic, metal, and duct tape. If you attended the show and would like to get involved or be in the show next year, get in touch with the team at the Comox Valley Art Gallery. — Comox Valley Art Gallery

Quintet playing Thursday
THE FEATURED ARTIST at the Potter’s Place for August is Mary Deveau, who is attracted to seals.
Seals catch potter’s eye Mary Deveau guest artist at Potter’s Place this month
The Potter’s Place is delighted to have Mary Deveau in the gallery as featured artist for August. Mary moved to the Comox Valley several years ago and spends a lot of time exploring the wild side of the ocean in kayak or sailboat. She spends a lot of time studying the local seals, which has led to an exploration of their forms and gestures in clay. “There seems to be a humanistic quality in their gestures that somehow links us to their world,” she says. “Close up you get a sense of kinship, relationships and family … and from afar you
can witness a display of blatant and shameless playfulness.” Mary uses very specific firing techniques to create the colour, textures and surfaces that describe her seals — smoke or pit firing are particularly suited, but she also uses glaze firings in gas or electric kilns and has experimented to create these fabulous works of art. Mary is featured this month at the Potter’s Place on the corner of Fifth and Cliffe in the cultural heart of downtown Courtenay at 180B Fifth. It’s open Mondays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, phone 250-334-4613 or visit www.thepottersplace.ca and see the potters on Facebook. — The Potter’s Place

Valliere only Island golfer to make cut at nationals Earle Couper Record Staff
Mark Valliere finished in a four-way tie for 39th at the 2012 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Camelot Golf and Country Club in Cumberland, Ont. The 108th playing of the venerable Golf Canada event was held Aug. 7-10. Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., carded a final-round, even-par 72 to win the title for the second consecutive year. Valliere, who plays out of Crown Isle in Courtenay, shot rollercoaster rounds of 71-75-7176 to finish at +5 293. The 17-year-old was the only Vancouver Island player to make the cut after the first two rounds. Valliere double bogeyed the parfour 18th hole in Friday’s
final round (his only double bogey of the tourney), a hole he had played even par over the first three rounds. He had five bogeys and three birdies in his final round. Hughes, a member of Team Canada’s national squad, finished at 12-under par 276 for the championship, besting Brian Churchill-Smith of Oakville, Ont. and Chris Hemmerich of Kitchener, Ont. by one stroke. Churchill-Smith and Hemmerich both posted a four-day tally of 11-under par 277 to finish tied for second. With the victory, Hughes earned exemptions into the 2013 RBC Canadian Open at the historic Glen Abbey Golf Club as well as the 2012 U.S. Amateur Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry
Hills Village, Colo. The 2012 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Camelot Golf and Country Club and Club de golf Outaouais featured 240 players with a cut after 36 holes to the low 70 scores and ties. Club de golf Outaouais joined Camelot Golf and Country Club in hosting the opening two rounds of the championship with the final two weekend rounds being contested at Camelot. The 2013 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship will take place at Royal Colwood Golf Club and Gorge Vale Golf Course in Victoria, B.C. The 109th playing of the championship will once again feature an expanded field of 240 competitors. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com
MARK VALLIERE OF Courtenay tees off during the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Ontario.
Cards capture third place at B.C. baseball tourney The Comox Valley Cardinals PeeWee A baseball team finished a strong third at the B.C. Provincial Championships, held Aug. 2-6 in Kelowna. The weekend prior, the Cardinals attended the Island Zones tournament in Victoria. The Cardinals played very strong throughout, making it to the finals against the Victoria Wildcats. Down by only two runs, the Cardinals placed second to secure a spot in the Provincials. In Game 1 at the B.C.’s, the Cardinals faced a feisty Aldergrove team with a curveball throwing pitcher and some big bats who handed the Cards a 9-1 loss. The Cards kept the game close except for allowing six runs in the fifth inning. Cardinals’ game Most Valuable Player was Braydon Baker. The following day in Game 2, the Cardinals defeated the Rutland Rookies from Kelowna – an energetic team that never gave up – 13-9. The Cardinals had 12 hits, including two each from Nolan Baker and Ethan Brunton. Shane Lapp had a strong game, going 1-2 with a walk, two stolen bases and one RBI. Ben Swing led off a big six-run third inning with a solid single and a stolen base. Thomas Green also scored three runs. Nolan
Baker was the Cards’ game MVP. Later in the day, for Game 3, the Cardinals played Burnaby. The Cardinals were leading 10-7 in the fourth inning when the game was stopped and scheduled to continue the
following morning, as daylight was running out. The Cards had another strong hitting performance, pounding out 15 hits including three by Nolan Baker and two each by Caleb Dolman, Brayden Baker and Austin Brown. Another
three runs were scored by Thomas Green and a towering home run was hit by Austin Brown. The Cards won 17-7 with Ethan Brunton MVP. In Game 4 the Cardinals played Ladner, where a win would qualify them for the
championship round. The Cardinals had a staggering 15 stolen bases as they relentlessly pressured the well-rounded Ladner squad en route to a 12-9 win. Trevor Pruden went 1-2 scoring two runs while Reid Cochrane had two clutch

hits, driving in two runs. Hayden Kierstead pounded one off the top of the home run fence, but ended up getting robbed when the ball bounced in bounds. Nolan Baker had the same bad luck, ending up with a double. Brad Teasdale, also playing a strong game, was 1-2 with two RBI and two stolen bases. Dustin Raume was game MVP. The last day for the finals, the Cardinals were up against the Island champion Victoria Wildcats. Victoria came out strong with a very versatile pitcher who held the Cardinals off the basepaths, and had some amazing bats. The Cards took a tough 14-2 loss to the eventual provincial champions. Game MVP was Brayden Baker. “Congratulations to the Comox Valley Cardinals PeeWee A team for an amazing third-place finish despite playing in stifling 32 to 37 degree heat,” a team spokesperson said. “The organization thanks our sponsor ReMax/Ocean Pacific Realty for their great support. A big thank you to coaches Rob Green and Steve Cochrane for all their effort and time. “Finally, thank you to parents who get the boys to the practices and games and providing great support throughout the season.” — PeeWee A Cardinals

Duo enjoys trip to national tourney GLACIER AUTO Kevin Dobbelsteyn Special to the Record
The 2012 Canadian National Oldtimers Baseball Tournament is history, and that history will, unfortunately, not include the Hamilton Stealers as champions of the 50+ age division. And, Tim McDonald and Kevin Dobbelsteyn will, unfortunately, not be listed as members of the winning team. The two local boys were picked up by the Ontario team to bolster its chances of success at the Prince Edward Island tourney. The event was held the August long weekend under wonderful weather conditions of about 31 degrees all weekend long. Most of the games were at diamonds in Charlottetown, but some took place in Summerside. After a long trip to the Island, including the four-hour time shift, a Friday doubleheader did not go well. With games against Spring Lake of Alberta (a 3-2 loss) and the Nova Scotia Monarchs (a 5-4 loss), the bats were rather

Although Hamilton held the lead heading to the last inning in both games, the opponents rallied to snatch away victory. With a lobster supper in North Rustico to soothe the disappointment of a bad day, the team regrouped on Friday night. Saturday morning, the Stealers headed to Summerside for a second doubleheader. Playing much better ball against the Pleas-
ant Valley Lakers (a 6-4 win) and long-time rivals Oakville Golden A’s (a 7-6 win), the boys gave themselves a chance to finish in the top four and a chance at the title. When Nova Scotia played to a tie in one of its games, the back door opened and in walked the Stealers! Sunday’s singleelimination game was right back against the Oakville team. Scoring five runs in the first inning, Hamilton
Sign up for grid camp The Comox Valley Raiders Youth Football annual summer camp takes place Aug. 18-19 at Bill Moore Memorial Park from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. both days. “We will be holding registration at Bill Moore from the 13th to the 16th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.,” a Raiders’ spokesperson said. “This will mark the first year that we will be having the Peewee age group playing in the fall season. “Peewee is open for 9-11 year olds. Both the Peewee and the Junior Bantam programs are now involved in
the Island Cooperative league which is comprised of six other teams from Vancouver Island including Parksville, Nanaimo, Duncan and Campbell River,” the spokesperson said. “We are excited to be part of this league as it will improve our athletes through greater competition. Both local high schools, Mark Isfeld and G.P. Vanier, will be fielding teams at the Junior and Senior level. The sad news this year is that Campbell River has folded their high school team due to declining numbers,” the Raiders’

was on fire. After 4-½ innnings, the Stealers led 9-4. And then, hell froze over. Oakville scored six runs in the fifth and another five runs in the sixth to grab a 15-9 lead. A good rally in the sev-
enth pulled the Stealers closer at 15-12, but that was it. On Monday, Oakville lost the title to the Dufferin, Ontario team in extra innings. The national event turned into a great experience for Tim and Kevin. They met some great guys on the Hamilton team and enjoyed five topnotch ball games. The boys played well, with McDonald catching almost every inning and guiding the team from behind the plate, and Dobbelsteyn playing third and pitching and contributing at the plate from the number five spot. The 2013 tournament will be the long August weekend in Edmonton. Rumours have started that the Valley will send one (or more) teams next year . . . could there be a Valley vs. Valley final?

Comox Valley United men’s soccer club is getting ready to open for business. Unfinished business, that is. After coming tantalizingly close to promotion to Div. 2 last season, the local side is now preparing for another season of Div. 3 action in the Vancouver Island Soccer League.
“It’s time to dust off those boots and begin to prepare for the upcoming fall season,” playercoach Carey Cordocedo said. “For those of you returning from last season, we have some unfinished business to do and for those new to the fold we welcome you with open arms.” The team began
tryouts last week and have three more sessions upcoming: Thursday, Aug. 16 from 7-9 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 21 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and Thursday, Aug. 23 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. All tryouts are at Woodcote Park in Courtenay. “We will be carrying between 18 and 20 players again so it’s important that you are present for as many
tryout sessions as you can,” Cordocedo noted in an e-mail to his players. For more information contact Cordocedo at soccercoach12@shaw.ca or at Top Notch Soccer 250-897-0620. sports@comoxvalleyrecord.com

~ IN MEMORY~ Eric Munroe
Kevin Gilmore Taul Born June 11, 1962 Caledonia, Nova Scotia Died July 31, 2012 Union Bay, BC Kevin leaves to mourn his two beautiful sons, Alex Taul and Eric Taul of Wolfville, Nova Scotia; his mother, Marion Saltal of Ladysmith, sister Tammy (Joey) Arenburg of Nova Scotia; and his loving companion and partner, Julianne Kasmer of Cumberland, BC. Kevin was an amazing man who inspired many people. After a near fatal car accident in January 1999, Kevin rebuilt a life filled with a passion for living and loving. Tai Chi was an incredibly instrumental part of Kevin’s recovery, and after his accident, he volunteered at the International Taoist Tai Chi Health Recovery Institute in Orangeville, Ontario. He then travelled extensively sharing his love of life at the Omega Institute, Esalen Institute in California, and especially at the Celebrate Your Life Conference in New Mexico before settling on Vancouver Island. His gift for inspirational speaking motivated many others to live life to the full. Kevin leaves the legacy of his joy of living, and his ability to be present to others in a deep way. In the Comox Valley Kevin was a valued volunteer with the Comox Valley Hospice, and led a weekly meditation group at Cumberland United Church. A small family service will be planned in Nova Scotia. Live life to the full, cherish those you love, love and never count the cost.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.

Surviving siblings are a brother Len in Australia and a sister Gladys in England. Lilian was born in Farnborough, Hampshire, England, daughter of Victor and Sylvia.

The following year Lilian sailed to Canada on the Queen Mary as a British Warbride, settling in Edmonton, Alberta. Bill remustered into the RCAF. Their postings took them across Canada and to 3 (F)Wing, Germany. The couple retired in 1969 to Comox where Lilian began her volunteer work for St. Joseph’s Auxiliary, The Legion, Evergreen Seniors, Glacierview Lodge and D’Esterre House. Surviving family members are her children Ross (Karen), Linda (Ed), Pam (Terry) and Celia, grandchildren Robert (Kate), Josephine (Deme), Scott, Stuart, Jarritt (Kristin), Jason (Jenn), and Jamie, great grandchildren Brianna (Mike), Recie (Shane), Emily, Darian, Kylie, Pescha, Marlo and Calia, great grandsons Damien and Acen, sister-in-law Ina, and many nieces and nephews.

A special thanks to Dr. Neufeld. A Celebration of Life is to be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the B.C. Heart Association would be appreciated.

Disability insurance facts Disability strikes working people far more often than we care to think about. A 20-year-old man is about three times more likely to be disabled for at least 90 days than he is to die before age 65. A 35-year-old woman is about seven more times likely to face disability than death before age 65. And the average claim for disabilities that last for more than 90 days is longer than three years. That’s a long time to go without a paycheque! Disability insurance coverage is critical to the health of your financial situation — but, if you’re like most people, you probably don’t know how your group insurance would work if you become sick or injured. You should carefully review your group benefits booklet — and, if your group plan comes up short, you should carefully consider an individual plan. To get you started in the right direction, here are 10 things you should find out about your disability insurance. 1. What does your group plan cover? Does it cover all your sources of income such as bonuses and commission? Does it cap the maximum benefits payable below your income level? Is it indexed for inflation? 2. How much does it cost — today and tomorrow? If it’s extremely inexpensive, is that because the coverage is extremely limited? On the other hand, your premiums

cancelled? Group plans usually aren’t guaranteed. 4. What is the plan’s definition of a disability? Your group plan may have a very restrictive definition of disability. It may require mandatory participation in a rehab program, it may have limitations and exclusions, especially for mental/nervous disorders or soft tissue damage to your
table? No — a new employer means you must qualify for a new plan. 7. What are the waiting periods? Make sure you find out how long you may have to wait before benefits kick in. 8. What are the benefits periods? Benefits may be capped by total amount or by a limited payment period. As well, most group policies terminate at age 65.
9. Are the benefits taxable? Yes, if the premiums are paid by your employer. When you pay them directly through your employee deductions, using aftertax dollars, the monthly benefits received are tax free. 10. What about mortgage disability insurance offered through a financial institution? Rates can increase and your eligibility for coverage may need to be proven at time of disability, before you can collect any benefits. Individual policies allow you tp ‘top-up’ your protection and help preserve your savings. The plan is always yours, regardless of your employment situation. You decide on the terms and the premium amounts. A professional adviser can help define the personalized insurance coverage that is tailored to your unique needs. J. Kevin Dobbelsteyn is a certified financial planner with Investors Group Financial Services Inc. His column appears every Wednesday.

Build your business with intention Terri Perrin of Fine Art of Intention Feng Shui is a spotlight speaker at the Comox Valley Home-Based and Small Business Association’s meeting Sept. 6 at the Westerly Hotel and Convention Centre. As both a feng shui consultant and professional writer, Perrin brings a unique perspective on how to build a home-based or small business. The 20-minute presentation will be a combination of her experience in modern-day communications strategies with centuries old feng shui wisdom. In this information-
packed ‘fast feng shui’ lecture Perrin will explain the basic principles of the practice — a 4,000-year-old tradition of recognizing how the energy of a living/working space affects personal energy and productivity. She will provide insight into the best arrangement of office furniture for putting you ‘in command’ of your career and business. Most importantly, she will teach how to set powerful intentions for positive change, increased prosperity and a higher level of professionalism. “The school of feng shui that I practise and

V9N 2Z7 www.comoxvalleyrecord.com editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com The Comox Valley Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby St., Nanaimo, B.C. V9R 2R2. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org
The wisdom of Solomon? In changes stemming from new population statistics in the most recent census, a proposed new federal riding boundary would bisect Courtenay along Highway 19A. While Comox and east Courtenay would remain in Vancouver Island North, the other half of Courtenay and Cumberland as well as Denman and Hornby islands would be part of a new-look Nanaimo-Alberni riding. While it’s unsettling to think people on one side of the Fifth Street Bridge would have one MP and those across the Courtenay River would be represented by another (possibly from a different political party), it would not be the end of the world. There’s plenty of precedent in Canada for this type of arrangement. Prince George has been divided into three federal ridings for years. One concern here would be that a Nanaimobased MP might not understand or appreciate Comox Valley issues and concerns. Nanaimo residents might feel the same way if a Comox Valley candidate is elected to represent the riding. This is nothing new. John Duncan and Catherine Bell in recent years have had to represent constituents from Fanny Bay to Port Hardy in sprawling Vancouver Island North. Suspicious minds might wonder, though, if shifting left-of-centre voters in Cumberland and the islands might give a Tory in Vancouver Island North a better chance to win. Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, ridings are regularly redrawn to ensure they are as close to the average population as reasonably possible. As part of the current proposals, B.C. would gain six electoral districts due to population increases. For details, visit www.federal-redistribution.ca. You can share your opinion at a public hearing Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. at Crown Isle in Courtenay. To make a presentation, notify authorities by Aug. 30 by e-mailing bc-cb@rfed-rcf.ca or mailing to Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C., 1095 West Pender St., Suite 301, Vancouver, B.C. V6E 2M6. editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com Record Question of the Week This week: Thirty per cent of respondents so far say they paid 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 of our website. B.C B.C.-connected athletes excelled at the Olympics. They earned half of Canada’s medals and upped the percentage won by B.C-connected athletes.

Innovative thinking lacking Dear editor, In many places in the world you can equally divide your population and use this as a basis for electing representatives to govern (e.g. Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands). However, this is not the case when you start working on redistribution in a geographically huge country such as Canada with the majority of the population living in urban centres and the rest spread out over enormous rural and remote territories. This new proposed distribution now before us — using B.C. as an example — would put the legislative power into the hands of urban representatives and leave the rest of the population with little or no power in Ottawa. With 42 constituencies, there would be 26 from the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, six from the South Island and 10 seats remaining for the rest of the province. If legislation comes forward in Parliament that would affect the resource development, economic development, environmental problems, social needs, etc.,

Shirley McLoughlin would those members representing the urban population have an understanding of these problems or even care? Where would support come from? I do not know who the members of the Electoral Boundaries Commission are, where they come from, and how they were appointed. But I suggest that anyone could sit down with the census figures and a map and divide
the province up the way they have. No need for research or innovative thinking. The Comox Valley is an example of this type of action. We have a common school district, regional district, business and recreational activities. The only thing missing in this map is common sense. The commission states “while factoring in communities of interest or identity, historical patterns and geographic size.” Well, they really blew that one. We must ensure that all Canadians, wherever they live, have at least a chance of some equal representation and if that means a certain amount of weighting for underpopulated areas, then so be it. I am sure that the public meetings will bring forth many suggestions for improvement but I hope those who get on their soap boxes don’t become too verbose but offer brief, practical solutions to the commission hearings and not miles and miles of rhetoric. Shirley McLoughlin, Comox
No bonuses for these ferry employees Dear editor, I am compelled to write this letter in response to John Caddell Sr’s letter re: Public Sector Unions Must Go (Record, July 27). While Mr. Caddell’s letter shows his distaste for unions and I fully support his right to voice his opinion, I do not appreciate misinformation being spread on a public forum. To be perfectly clear, Mr. Caddell, unionized BC Ferry workers do not receive performance bonuses. In fact the only BC Ferry
employees who do receive bonuses are non-union management employees. For proof of this, go to the employees earning greater than $75,000 list found at the BC Ferries website or Google BC Ferries Compensation Disclosure. The short- and long-term incentive plan lists bonuses for management employees. Further to this, the July 29, 2012 Sunday Province newspaper on page 9 lists the current BCFS CEO as earning $364,000. You will see on the over 70 K list that he actually earned $944,399
when his bonuses and other adds are included. In addition to that, a certain arbitrator ruled in 2010 that 150 senior shipboard union positions be removed from the union and be converted to excluded management positions. That in essence makes those newly created management positions now eligible for performances bonuses. So as the old saying goes: “Be careful what you wish for.” Jeff Lee Editor’s note: Jeff Lee is a BC Ferry and Marine Workers Union shop steward.
OPINION
www.comoxvalleyrecord.com
Just leave the Lins alone Dear editor, Many letters to the Record have asked why the City of Courtenay wants to evict our neighbours at Jin and Dali Lin’s Maple Pool Campsite. City Hall doesn’t respond to their question, so I will. Sandy Gray, the chief administrator for the City, ordered Jin Lin to evict the tenants of Maple Pool during the flood of 2010. He gave her three days. Of course, she told him where to take his silliness. His order was illegal and brutal. He wanted 50 or more sheltered people evicted. You two councillors who don’t claim to have “Common Sense” are as compliant as the rest — no politician will cross a chief
administrator. He’s around for a long time, building his power, while you come and go under his bureaucratic control. The Lins and their tenants are in deep trouble. River water is not the problem. See www.mapleliving.ca. They are fighting for the right to exist as they have, so successfully, for so many years. I am putting Courtenay city council on notice that those of us who have more imagination than Common Sense will make life difficult for anyone who tries to evict our friends from Maple Pool. Maple Pool is not the problem. You are. Jeff Hartbower, Courtenay
Man up and do right thing Dear editor, More than nine months have lapsed since you Common Sense people were elected to council on the platform of support for Maple Pool Campsite. It is long past the time when you should “man up” and do the right thing concerning the Lins and Maple Pool Campsite. Directing your administrator to withdraw legal action and to spot zone if necessary to provide
legal recognition of the Maple Pool site is not only a saving of many thousands of dollars in legal fees but, it is the right thing to do. Numerous electorate and Comox Valley citizens have let their feelings be known concerning this issue and they are all in support of the Lins and not your actions to date. Beverley Zimmerman, Courtenay
Olympic trio made us proud Dear editor, I am certain many Comox Valley residents like myself are very proud of our three Comox Valley Olympians. Geoff Kabush, a Vanier grad, at 35 years of age finished
an amazing eighth in the world in mountain biking. Young Cam Levins, another Vanier grad, was a finalist in both the 5,000 and 10,000 metres in athletics, finishing close to the medalists, a feat no
Music wonderful Dear editor, I attended the RCAF Pipes and Drums and Jet Stream concert Aug. 9. As a classically trained pianist and amateur clarinetist, I want to say that the quality of this show was second to none. The price was right as well (donation to the food bank or a donation to Soldier On Fund). I almost missed this wonderful show, but happened to see the spread in the arts section of the Aug. 8 Comox Valley Record. Thank you, 19 Wing Comox and all the musicians for a fabulous concert. Marilyn Crosbie, Courtenay
Canadian has done in over 50 years. Martin Reader, a Highland grad, was with his partner the last Canadian Olympians to qualify and were competitive in all of their matches in beach volleyball. All three of these fine young men have limited financial sponsorship and yet have achieved world status in their respective sports. Incredible and inspiring to all. Might there be interest in welcoming these Comox Valley Olympians home in a community celebration event? Well done, lads. You have made us all very proud! Hugh MacKinnon, Comox

DURING OUR DAILY morning dog walk we came across three beautifully decorated envelopes, each containing a note and a crisp $20 bill. The gist of the message was that we had two choices: Keep the money for ourselves or pass it forward. Whoever you are, you will be happy to know that we chose door No. 2. Two other people that we encountered in our walks looked like they could use a hand up. They were very grateful. The third envelope will go to the food bank with an additional $20 enclosed. Your generous and random act of kindness has been a story related to many of our friends. It is food for thought. Thank you. DR. CLAASEN AND staff: Thank you for all your efforts to save my eye, which you did. I thank you and your staff. SOMEONE WAS QUICK recently to blame a local business for bag lunch garbage on the tip of Goose Spit. The local business in question not only teaches the Valley’s youth about
Dog owners over critical Dear editor, Re: Do-gooders rile dog owner. No doubt they mean well but as a dog owner I know many people, who have limited knowledge, often assume the worst, and go over the top. This is another example of the “nanny state” in action. As we age we can become hyper-critical, it would seem to me. G. Aikman, Comox Valley

water safety programs but also about conservation and protection of our local marine environment. The same company also cleans the beach on a daily basis from other public users who have a lack of respect for this beautiful place! The only suppliers of bag lunches are the local cadet base. If any concern is warranted it should be with, I’m sure, their accidental loss of some lunches on only one occasion. More important is the increasing usage of those who misuse the beach for parties and leave broken bottles and smoldering
beach fires for people like those who use the beach daily, to clean up after them. The beach fires are a special concern. Not only do they leave a dangerous mess on the beach but also present a real threat to the fragile and in some cases, endangered ecosystem of the spit. Proactive groups like the business so easily blamed can help to protect this area during the day but who is to conserve this area after hours from those who do not respect it? THE SALVATION ARMY would like to send a bou-

quet of sunshine, smiles and high fives to Sgt. Esteban and his comrades for conducting a WOPS Food Drive. They compassionately collected groceries to keep our emergency food services shelves supplied! Without those such as each of you, we would not be able to offer a variety and the extras! Thank you so very much! TO THE PERSON who found my chain with two teardrops and diamonds in the parking lot of St. Joseph’s Hospital, thank you, thank you, thank you. To the ladies at the reception desk, thank you for taking good care of it till I returned. It was my anniversary gift 28 years ago and I just couldn’t believe that I had lost it. It means so much to have it back. Again, thank you.
