SPECTACULAR FINISH

Terry Farrell Record Staff

The BC Day long weekend ended in spectacular fashion, with the annual Quality Foods Festival of Lights fireworks celebration. The Record held a fireworks photo contest and this submission from Laurence Subra Bieusses was deemed to be the winning entry. Laurence won two tickets to the Filberg Summer Concert Series presentation of Del Larson for the entry.

Another weekend, another festival in the books. This year’s Filberg Festival will go down as a hot one, in more than one regard. The temperatures were hot all weekend – just shy of 30 C all four days – and the entertainment was as hot as it gets. About the only aspect that bucked the trend was the merchandise. There were some very cool pieces available. The numbers still have to be finalized, but early returns indicate that the 2014 Filberg held its own. “In terms of people coming through the gate, I think we are pretty much on par with last year,” said co-producer Wendy Sears. “Saturday was definitely the busiest day - we were probably at capacity on Saturday, which is about 5,000.” She said that was to be expected, based on not only previous years, but also on the entertainment schedule. “Saturday usually is busy, and we did sort of program the music that way,” she said. “Royal Wood was a really big draw on the main stage.” As was David Gogo, who had fans dancing in the aisles. He even joined them for one song, playing licks on his guitar while strolling among the appreciative crowd. The entertainment was an eclectic lineup, set to suit a wide range of age groups, and just as wide a range of genres.

“The music really was the biggest change to the festival this year,” said Sears. “Traditionally it’s been a lot more folk and kind of bluesy. This year we consciously programmed a lot of different acts; different genres. We had Latin, we had Ken Lavigne that the older crowd really enjoyed, and Daniel Wesley for the younger crowd. We are trying to (expand) the demographic a little bit.”

PICTURE WEEK OF THE

Council defeats another tanker resolution motion

of Leadnow.ca, Dogwood Initiative and the Council of Canadians had hoped to discuss pipeline twinning proposals and tanker exports, but council said the matter was outside its jurisdiction. “Many want the city to take a stance on this important issue,” said Hillian, noting export pipelines threaten unique ecosystems and pose a risk to the local maritime-based economy. His resolution called for the city to urge senior governments to “use whatever means are available to stop the expansion of crude oil tanker traffic on our coast,” and to encourage government to develop oil sands for domestic benefit.

Scott Stanfield Record Staff

In a 4-2 vote Monday, Courtenay Council defeated a resolution from Doug Hillian to oppose bitumen export pipeline proposals that would expand oil tanker traffic in coastal waters. Hillian was supported by Coun. Ronna-Rae Leonard. Jon Ambler, Manno Theos, Starr Winchester and acting mayor Bill Anglin were opposed. Mayor Larry Jangula was absent. At the previous council meeting, Leonard’s motion to allow a delegation of pipeline protesters to appear before council was opposed. Hillian was absent for that vote. Members

Cemetery tour Saturday The annual Vancouver Island Obon Cemetery Tour will visit the Cumberland Japanese Cemetery Saturday, Aug. 9. The tour — sponsored by the BC Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temples Federation — is designed to pay respect to the Japanese people who made their lives on Vancouver Island. Many of the people buried at Island cemeteries no longer have descendants living nearby. The tour is a way to acknowledge these pioneers and let them know they are not forgotten, according to

Nautical Days a weekend of family fun Scott Stanfield Record Staff

The annual Nautical Days festival in Comox celebrated its 55th year of fun over three days on the BC Day weekend. As always, the family festival featured the pet parade, bullhead derby — which hit its 28th year — and the ever-popular Build, Bail & Sail where two-person teams

race hand-crafted, sea-faring vessels around the Comox Marina entrance. The vintage car show also reached its 28th year, while the 4 Mile Road Race — the longest continuously held road race in B.C. — ran for a 45th consecutive year.

the fireworks display to close out the festival. “We received many positives comments regarding the new look and friendly, family feel of the festival,” event organizer Susan Wood said. “We’ve already received requests for applications for next year from crafters, food vendors and exhibitors.” Attendance was about the same as last year.

OLD inefficient baseboard heat

“That was a great weekend,” added Comox by the Sea BIA co-ordinator Holly Grant, who organized the Sunday street market, which was in its second year of operation during Nautical Days. “I was just thrilled with the turnout.” Another second-year event was a fish toss contest, held Saturday at the park. reporter@comoxvalleyrecord.com

Continued from A1 It was also the major introduction of the brand new main stage to the Vancouver Island community. “Lots of positive comments about the stage,” said Sears. “The acoustics were phenomenal.” And the merchandise was, as always, spectacular. The artisans on hand brought everything from wool to wood. There were purses created from old car seatbelts at one end, and bowls handcrafted from the wood of trees devastated by pine beetles at the other. There was glass in all shapes and sizes, pottery, beautiful paintings and incredible photography art. “And people were shopping – there were a lot of people leaving with bags in their hands,” said Sears. The weather wore down some artisans; then again, the drink vendors could not have been much happier. “I think the heat was a bit wearing for the vendors, particularly the ones that were down by the water, where there isn’t as much shade,” said Sears. “The glass people always want to be down there, because it is the best place to show glass, but when we were doing the teardown, there were some people saying it was a bit draining.” Sears said one of the big positives coming away from the 2014 Filberg is that the festival is gaining more of an audience from outside the Comox Valley.

A proposed building that would have contained three residential suites will not be happening at the corner of Fifth and Menzies in Courtenay. Council did not grant third reading to a zoning amendment at 907 Fifth St. The vacant property was previously a warehouse that had caught fire in 2008. At a public hearing last month, several residents had voiced concerns about parking and other issues. They largely favoured the single family flavour of the neighbourhood.

“We... were surprised at the number of people that came up from Victoria and other areas, like the Lower Mainland,” she said. “That’s important. They come here, spend their money in our community, stay in our hotels, do other things – it’s good for the local economy.” Sears said that the next month or so will involve wrapping up this year’s Filberg, then plans will begin for the 2015 version. “We will take a little

Future of school system looks bleak Dear editor, A neighbour recently told me she has pulled her three children out of the public school system. Frustrated with increasing fees for supplies and disturbed by continuing labour unrest she has enrolled her children in a private school in Comox. Stories like hers must be profoundly satisfying to the BC Liberals who are in the process of dismantling the public school system and encouraging private schools to fill the void. I am not without sympathy for Christy Clark’s government. They have made a commitment to low tax rates and the temptation to offload huge public education costs onto the private sector

Her school did however house a well-funded military recruitment centre. Most families opt for private schools and vote down tax levies for the decimated public system. Located in a white neighbourhood her school was composed entirely of poor blacks and Hispanics. She had some good and a few brilliant students. But none were going on to a college or university. Their choices were limited to joining the military or facing a life of poverty, crime or (for the lucky) a minimum wage job. The social fabric of the community was in tatters. Welcome to our future.

Letters to the Editor Send your letter to editor@comoxvalleyrecord.com, or drop it off at the Record office, 765 McPhee Ave. Please keep letters to a maximum of 300 words and sign with your name and hometown. We reserve the right to publish and to edit for space/clarity.

is irresistible. But except for the very wealthy, private schools are not to anyone’s financial advantage. Although we would have to pay increased taxes to adequately supply our schools and pay its employees a fair wage, it would still be a bargain compared to the tuitions of even the cheapest private schools. To get an idea of where we are headed one need only look south of the border

where many school districts have followed the private education path to its end. A few years ago our daughter was hired to teach senior high physics and chemistry in the Boston public school system. She had no lab or science supplies and no textbooks. Her school did not have a functioning computer lab so her students were unable to take any of the standardized tests given by the state of Massachusetts.

Justice not served to Molly’s abuser Dear editor, Regarding the sentencing on July 31, 2014 of Rupert Wilson Jr. for the neglect of Molly, the dog. Molly’s story has been followed by thousands of British Columbians for the last several months. “We Are Molly’s Voice” handed over a signed petition to the courts, asking for Rupert Wilson to be punished to the full extent of the law. Exactly 58,957 concerned citizens signed that petition, waited for months, in hope that there would be “Justice for Molly”.. to no avail. Last week, Rupert Wilson was given a lousy three-month conditional sentence, 12 months probation, 10-year animal prohibition, two small fines, and a very few community hours. The judge stated that he didn’t think Wilson would be able to afford to pay the more than $2,000 in vet bills, so he chose not to hold him accountable. A precedent should have been set in this high profile, horrific animal abuse case, send a strong and very clear message to people who abuse animals, let these criminals know they will be punished to the full extent of the law.

All this sentence does is hold the thousands of BCSPCA volunteers, people who graciously donate money to the BCSPCA, and taxpayers accountable for Rupert Wilson’s crime. The residing judge could have, and should have given more thought to this sentence. Crime here in Canada, whether it be a minor or major offence, does not seem to be taken seriously by our court system. The same people are in court month after month for the same repeat crimes. This is so, because our laws are far too lax: offenders receive a “slap on the wrist” so to speak… allowing them to continue their life of crime. Judges continuously let criminals go, with light or no sentencing. It’s time for that to change in this country. In Molly’s case, Molly lived, and has her “forever” home, but there’s nothing “just” about her case. I believe Molly’s case should be appealed. Rupert Wilson was not at all held accountable for what he did to Molly. Perhaps a jury would see things differently? A. Prichette Port Hardy

“A GUARANTEE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE COMPANY BEHIND IT”

Active involvement by staff highlights corporate support It is all about giving back to the community. That is main reason why Vancouver Island Insurance Centres (VIIC) has been involved with the Community Foundation since its inception. This involvement, along with establishing a fund that the Foundation manages on behalf of VIIC, has included staff members taking an active role in the Foundation’s administration. Over the years there have been numerous staff taking on the responsibilities of a Foundation Board member and in some cases acting as President. Currently two staff members are involved with the Foundation as directors. “Beyond giving back, the Foundation is able to effectively promote and most importantly provide financial support to numerous charitable organizations. This elevates the quality of life for all citizens of the Comox Valley,” said Audrey Craig, Human Resources Manager and a past member of the Foundation Board. Audrey further alluded to the fact that as a company that deals with so many different people in all walks of life throughout the Valley, it is important to know that the Foundation, through the disbursement of funds that are in part generated from the VIIC Fund, are in many cases used for those extras that charitable organizations often have difficulty raising funds in order to support these initiatives. In encouraging other companies to think about forming a relationship with the Foundation, Audrey says that the best way to get a sense of what the Foundation is all about is to attend the annual awards granting ceremony. The gratitude and heartfelt thanks for the support the Foundation provides goes way beyond a “feel-good” situation. It is the knowledge that the company and its employees’ efforts go right back into making the Comox Valley a better place for everyone.

Daycare payout not well thought out by government

o, it’s come down to this. The provincial government is now offering to pay all parents of children under the age of 13, $40 per day for daycare and/or tutoring, for each day that the teachers’ strike lingers into the 2014/2015 school year. One immediate interpretation is that the government considers our teachers nothing more than glorified babysitters. Teachers could only wish to be so well paid. According to care.com, the going rate for an adult babysitter with five years’ experience in Courtenay is roughly $12/hr. Multiply that by the 189 working days, each nine hours long (as per the accepted definition) and that works out to $20,412. Now, multiply that by the average class size of 25 students… Of course, the bigger question would be, where exactly does the government expect these 300,000 extra daycare clients to go? Governments across the country – British Columbia included – are already overrun with problems stemming from unregulated daycares. According to findingqualitychildcare.ca, there is regulated space for 17 per cent of B.C.’s children aged 0-12 years. How does the government plan to squeeze 100 per cent of the children into that space? Most daycares are not accepting new clients. In fact, most daycares have waiting lists. Long waiting lists. Years long. Well, that’s not really the government’s problem. Here’s your money, you deal with it. This parental payout, for lack of a better term, is just the latest move by a government that seems to, more and more often, act without forethought. –Black Press

Record Question of the Week This week: A clear majority of respondents - 65.8 per cent – feel that there should be a culling to control the northern harbour seal population. Next week: Are you happy with the government’s $40 per day payout for the daycare needs of pre-teen schoolchildren, should the teachers’ strike carry into the new school year? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll. Talks are resuming this week between the government and the teachers’ union in an effort to resolve the ongoing teachers’ strike.

Concerns were raised to the provincial Ministry of the Environment three years ago about a possible Mount Polly Mines tailing pond breach.

Summertime and drinking is easy T

he B.C. government’s move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it. Premier Christy POLITICS Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highOM way speed limits, the negative effects have LETCHER yet to be quantified. Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties. One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next. (Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of “ecstasy” and other rave drugs.) Early reviews of free-range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fencedin area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly anyone used it.

Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious. Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services. (Editor’s note: Boonstock, which ran after this column was filed, was further marred by an overdose death.) The festival licence process is likely getting renewed attention these days. After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures. Litter and empties were contained, but since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort. It’s unlikely that there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But there are more reforms to come. New regulations are on the

way for the Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry. One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of kneejerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Government proposed payout to parents shocks reader Dear editor, I am appalled that the provincial government thinks it a wise use of taxpayer funds to give parents $40 per day for babysitting whether they need it or not. I am shocked that the total amount will equal what would be paid to teachers to educate those

same students. Does the government really believe that the school system is just a form of babysitting, and that education is unnecessary to the production of educated and useful members of society? I urge the government to start negotiating and get our children

back to school in September so that none of the essential school curriculum will be lost. I urge everyone who values education to write to the minister and their MLA to express their concerns. Gwyn Sproule Cumberland

I was somewhat suspicious of the scenario. Six drinks the evening previous, tooth brushing and mouthwash use prior to driving and the officer still smelled the odour of liquor on the driver’s breath. Should this driver have consumed a significant amount of liquor during the evening it is possible that his blood alcohol level would be high enough to produce a warn the following morning without help from the mouthwash.

The July 31 RCMP Report included the theft of two guitars from a home in the 200 block of Muschamp Rd. in Union Bay.

The owner of the drum set asked that these photos be published in hopes of jogging someone’s memory. He has also posted a $1,000 reward for the safe return of the drums. “My drums were stolen out of my house in Comox, sometime in the last six months.

The 501st Legion’s Outer Rim Squad will be donning their exceptional Star Wars costumes and volunteering at InCON – the Comox Valley’s Family Gaming Convention. Organizer Courtney Pozzolo of Undiscovered Photography was thrilled to be contacted by a local member of the Outer Rim Squad who offered to be a part of the convention. The 501st Legion is an all-volunteer group of Star Wars enthusiasts who bring their unique level of enthusiasm to children and adults all over the world through appearances at many charity and community events. “This seemed like a natural fit to our convention,” said Alex Greenwood of Games and Grounds Coffee House – the other local business teaming up to bring the convention to town. “For our first year we actually have tons of different gaming and related genre activities and interests offered – from tournaments to ‘trinkets’ to buy. We are family friendly which was really important to all of us, and we wanted to provide as much to attendees as we felt we could for a quality experience. The fact that we have the Outer Rim Squad volunteering is really exciting!” The 501st will have an information table where attendees can ask questions and find out more about this exciting group of ‘Bad Guys Doing Good’. They will also be offering a free raffle for prizes that they have donated, and at Undiscovered Photography’s

In addition, the Outer Rim Squad will volunteer for an hour at the Kids’ Fair part of the convention, held outdoors from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. There will be

carnival-like games, a craft table and colouring. The 501st will also feature a Star Wars-themed bean bag toss. A donation jar for YANA will be on-site, along with a fun donation coin drop ‘tank’ with a prize for those who get their coin in the shot glass in the bottom. InCON will be held on Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., with activities at the lower Florence

Accessibility addressed at outdoor pool Getting into the outdoor pool is now easier for those with accessibility issues. A new pool lift has recently been installed at the Courtenay and District Memorial Outdoor Pool thanks to funding from the Comox Valley Regional District. The lift is designed to assist anyone who has problems entering or exiting the swimming pool. The unit was purchased in consultation with the CV Accessibility Committee. The Splash! brand unit is designed with both safety and ease of use in mind. It also has added accessories like a stability vest, spine board attachment, comfort seat pad and more. “We are happy that this new lift is going to help more people access the pool,” says Raegan Spence, Courtenay Recreation coordinator. “It is easy to utilize and enhances the pool experience for those with mobility challenges.” The lift is available during most swim times (with the exception of busy open

Her caring not only extended to this little bird of unknown origin but to the people who brought him in.

WENT TO THE Telus office on Ryan

Road to have my cellphone, pay as you go, renewed for another year, $100 plus tax and to my surprise the agent said that there would be a $2 charge if he did it and suggested that I could do it myself free. I am in my 80s and have trouble seeing, fortunately I had someone with me who was able to help. With all the hype to sign up with Telus I was utterly amazed, I always thought that customer service reps were there to help. Hope they don’t go broke with me not paying for a service that one would expect for doing business with them.

GOOD EDITORIAL COMMENT

on wasting water. Important to note that this needs to apply to everybody - municipalities, industrial and commercial users, recreational users. Residential customers wonder at the other users who have different water use rules - we are all in this together. Who is in charge of Comox Lake water?

TO ALBERNI OUTPOST: Thank

you! My wife and I have lived here a long time and have always wanted to try kayaking, but never had the opportunity. They are expensive “toys” to buy sight unseen, so to say. It looks like fun, and a great thing to do together, but how do we know it’s really for us? Well, a couple of Wednesdays ago we went to your “spot” next to Portuguese Joe’s on Comox Road for your Wednesday night “free trial”. No pressure, no sales pitch, we just signed a waiver, found life jackets that fit and you put us into a kayak and pushed us out onto the water. We came back 30 minutes later and all you said was “how did you like it?” Let me tell you that we liked it. We loved it. And when we do make that kayak purchase, we will most certainly be coming to your store to do it. Your “paying it forward” marketing scheme will pay off, if not this summer, then next spring.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD

World famous musical duo playing on Denman Island

Submitted

One of the best kept secrets in the Comox Valley’s music community has been the regular appearances in recent years of Canadian violinist Kai Gleusteen and French pianist Catherine Ordronneau at the Community Hall on Denman Island. Earlier this year, in celebration of 10 years of musical collaboration and marriage, the world famous duo treated Denman Islanders to a series of three concerts in three days that featured all 10 sonatas for violin and piano by Ludwig van Beethoven. Originally from Calgary, Gleusteen is currently concertmaster of the Gran Teatre del Liceu Orchestra in Barcelona, Spain. In addition to her career as a soloist, Catherine Ordronneau devotes much of her time to chamber music performing in the duo with Gleusteen. Several years ago Gleusteen’s parents relocated from Calgary to Denman Island and since then he and Ordronneau have visited regularly. They always combined their visits with concerts at the Community Hall which have been consistently well attended by Denman Islanders.

A secret no more

But now the secret is out. From Aug. 14-17, they are presenting a chamber music festival called Kaimerata on Denman Island and for the first time a limited number of tickets for individual concerts or the entire series of four are being made available to music lovers in Courtenay and Comox. The series is centred around the world of the French composer Maurice Ravel. Gleusteen and Ordronneau will be joined

by several renowned Canadian musicians, including cellist Ariel Barnes, violinist Hiroko Kagawa, violist David Visentin, and for the series finale bassist Scott White and drummer Kelby Macnayr. The first Presentation Concert on Aug. 14 at 7:30 p.m. will feature some of the best known French music including SaintSaëns The Swan, Debussy Claire de Lune, Ravel Tzigane along with excerpts from the concerts to come. This evening offered at half price (only $12) will serve as an introduction to Ravel and his musical entourage. The second concert, L’Affaire Ravel, on Friday, Aug. 15 at 7:30 p.m. will include Ravel’s gorgeous String Quartet and his teacher, Gabriel Faure’s Piano Quartet no. 1. The third concert, Ravel’s chef d’oeuvres, is an afternoon performance beginning at 2:30pm on Saturday, Aug. 16 and will feature his Duo for Violin and Cello and the magical Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano. The final concert entitled Ravel ClassicJazz is also an afternoon concert beginning at 2:30 on Sunday, Aug. 17. It will include Ravel’s Violin Sonata (with a Blues second movement), excerpts from Porgy and Bess by George Gershwin and the festival finale Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano Trio by Claude Bolling. All concerts are at the Denman Island Community Hall, a quick walk from the ferry landing. Pick-up and drop-off for walk-on passengers can be arranged in advance by email (info@kaimerata.com). Tickets for the Thursday Presentation Concert are $12. All other concerts are $22 or $65 for the entire series. Students are half price. Tickets off Denman Island are available only at Blue Heron Books in Comox. As seating is limited, tickets should be purchased before going to Denman Island.

Originals Only takes over Marina Park for the weekend Special to the Record This coming weekend, Aug. 9 and 10, will once again see artists coming from near and far to set up at the annual Originals Only Art Show & Sale to be held at Marina Park in Comox. Unlike other types of art shows this one is entirely focused on showcasing the works of artists who are either painters or sculptors. And as the show’s name suggests they will be exhibiting only original works. “This has been the case right from the beginning,” says Joe Smith, one of the organizers. “Our objective is to encourage the general public to learn more about and appreciate the importance of original works of art.” Not only is the event an opportunity for the public to see and buy original works but it also gives them the opportunity to meet the creators and learn more about the creative process. One of the other unique aspects about this show is that it is open to Vancouver Island artists working at all levels of experience. From seasoned artists to those just beginning on their creative journey the show covers a broad spectrum of styles and mediums. Visitors to the show will find works that are designed around abstract themes, contemporary works highlight current trends, impressionism, expressionism and realism which are perennial favourites round off one of the best showcases of art on the Island. With this variety of styles visitors to the show can learn about the differences between the different genres and what it takes to take an artist’s vision and convert it to paper,

canvas or stone. “While this can be an educational experience for visitors,” says Smith, “it is also an opportunity for artists to come together, learn from each other and for emerging artists get some first-hand experience of what it takes to showcase their work and get feedback from the public.” With new artists coming to participate each year and artists always looking for new ways to express themselves, the show is constantly changing and evolving. Just like some of the artists found in the history books, there are artists who have gone from realism to painting abstract while others have evolved from contemporary to representational. Then there is the constant experimentation with new mediums, techniques and subject matter. Over the years there have been a few constants, some of the artists have been coming back each year since day one. Other supporters like the Town of Comox Recreation, the show’s number one sponsor, have helped ensure the show remains an integral part of the community’s cultural scene. This support has allowed the show to remain selfsustaining without asking for grants or other means of financial support. The entire show is organized by participating artists and all of the expenses are shared by each artist who pays a fee for a booth space. The booths are another interesting feature of the show because with each artist setting up their own display space, it provides visitors with the opportunity to go to dozens of mini art galleries all located in one area. Marina Park in Comox is an ideal location for an out-

The artists will be on site from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 9 and 10. For further information about the Originals Only Art Show visit the website at www.originalsonly.ca

Why is Sterling Silver

Juicy Goodness!

Beef superior? Let us count the ways.

It’s the best of the best

Handpicked from the best of the highest grade of beef, Sterling Silver beef has more flavour than lower-quality beef, providing exceptional tenderness, juiciness and taste in every bite.

It’s Beautifully Marbled

Marbling is the white flecks of fat within the muscle that melt into the meat as it cooks, giving it succulent flavour and texture. Sterling Silver beef is highly marbled for superior taste and texture.

It’s aged just right

Sterling Silver cuts are aged no fewer than 21 days to maximize tenderness and richness of flavour.

Georgia Straight Jazz Society and the Anderton Therapeutic Garden Society will be presenting their second of three summer afternoon concerts on Aug. 10 at Anderton Gardens in Comox, when Vancouver songstress Armi Grano will be backed by three of our region’s finest jazz musicians: Mike Eddy on piano; John Hyde on bass, and Bill Street on drums. Showtime is at 2 p.m. Grano is one of Vancouver’s premier jazz song stylists and is considered one of the finest jazz vocalists on the contemporary jazz music scene today. Her distinct style, smooth clear voice and genuine engaging personality has attracted fans from all over the world with the release of her six albums. Her influences include Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Astrud Gilberto and Anita O’Day, which have allowed her to develop her own blend of music featuring an exciting mix of Latin, pop, swing and jazz influences. This is a rare Vancouver Island appearance for Grano, who is recently returned from a seven-month stint in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where she owns the restaurant and jazz lounge “Encore.” (In her own words: “I bought my own gig!”). She is performing only a limited number of shows in Vancouver before heading back to Mexico in October. Mark your calendar; this is your

How to acclimate pets to long car trips Short jaunts in the car can be a special treat for pets who spend the majority of their time at home. Although car trips sometimes mean appointments at the vet, frequently such trips involve visits to family members or opportunities to romp and socialize in the park. Pets that may be perfectly fine on short trips may not be as amenable to longer excursions. Pet owners should have a thorough understanding of their pet’s travelling proclivities and prepare accordingly when the animal will be riding along on a vacation. Animals can experience motion sickness or stress from being in a moving vehicle, and this can re-

sult in vomiting or accidents in the car. Furthermore, anguished animals may attempt to jump into the front seat with the driver, which can cause distraction and/or lead to an accident. So it’s best for owners to acclimate their pets to travelling in a car before going on any especially long trips. Acclimating pets to the car in a series of steps is recommended. The first may be sitting inside a parked vehicle with your pet. Owners can then gradually progress to short trips around the neighbourhood, all the while paying attention to pets to see how they are responding to time in the car. Keep the temperature in

the car cool and open the window to allow fresh air to flow in. Do not let your pet hang his or her head out of the window, as debris can blow in the pet’s eyes or ears and pets may be tempted to jump out while the car is in motion. Owners can reward pets who survive long trips by choosing a final destination that pets will find fun. If you are always putting the cat or dog in the car to go to the vet or groomer, your pet may associate the car with bad experiences and never truly adapt to trips in the car. When travelling, pets must be properly secured in a vehicle to prevent injury to drivers, their passengers and even the pet

itself. If a dog or cat finds comfort in a crate, use that to secure the animal during the ride. Otherwise, dog seatbelts and other restraint systems are helpful. Pets should ride in the back seat where they will be most safe and less likely to distract drivers. Drivers should resist the urge to have small pets sit on their lap while driving. Should an accident happen, a deployed airbag can injure or kill a pet that’s sitting on a driver’s lap. As a pet gradually acclimates to longer trips, vary the route and subject pets to different sights, sounds and smells. Animals that are particularly skittish or simply do not do well in the car should not be

COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Thursday, August 7, 2014

It’s Great to Adopt an Adult Cat! I am fostering two cats. Yesterday I walked into the bedroom and Flora, the grey tabby kitten, was hanging from the top of the curtains. When she saw me, she launched herself onto the top of the dresser, scattering picture frames, bracelets and a bottle of perfume. Then she careened around the bed in an ecstasy of fun and kitten craziness and disappeared into the closet. My adult foster cat, Daisy, greeted me with a warm “meeaow”, curled around my ankles and waited for a pet. Her second name could be Decorum. It’s interesting that so many people want only to adopt kittens. And of course, we are happy that they do, for kittens abound in spring and summer: bouncy little furballs of mischief and knockdown cuteness. The adults - often the kittens’ own mothers - take a back seat while the little ones are oohed and aaahed over. Luckily, there are many people here in the valley who choose to take home a cat whose personality has already been formed. With an older cat, you know what you’re getting. If the cat has been in a foster home, that’s even better, because the foster parent knows if Boots likes to watch TV with you or prefers a windowsill: if he’s a lap cat or a top-of-the-couch sitter: if he likes to talk or is the strong, silent type. Some adult cats are every bit as playful as their kitten

counterparts. Others prefer long naps, watching computer screens (and know not to walk on the keyboard), or like to help in the garden. All this you can learn beforehand. Kittens are joyous and enthusiastic about everything, and people often tell us they want to adopt a kitten because it is “easier to bond with”, or they think they can somehow mold the personality of a kitten. Ha! Kittens are not quite as pliable as people think. They come with their own personalities, which become very apparent as they grow up. Of course, all animals can become fearful or aggressive if they are mistreated, and affectionate and calm if they are loved and handled gently. But … not always. They have their own minds and if you

home. Once they settle in to their new digs, they form a bond with their new owners that is deep and long lasting. They know they are safe once again. And you have a companion that won’t attack your feet at night! By C. Naaykens A Cat’s Den Cottage Retreat and Sanctuary

Original Mini Cooper making a comeback ... sort of By Keith Morgan Yet another version of the popular Mini is out and selling for around $120. What? – Well, it is a Lego brick replica of the original Cooper Mk VII, produced between August 1997 and July 1998. Interestingly, the price tag for the beautifully crafted “toy” is about the same as I paid for my used 1966 Mini Countryman Mark II back in 1974. The Lego version bears many authentic details, from the classic green and white

You can even remove the roof to access a tan-coloured interior with patterned seats, veneer-style dashboard, turning steering wheel, and moving gearshift and handbrake.

When I got mine, it had authentic woodworm in the bits that made it look like a mini Brit version of the Woodies that were so popular on this side of the Atlantic at the time. The model has doors, hood and trunk that open – more than you could say for mine on many occasions. Sporty fog lights are featured as well as a detailed four-cylinder engine – transversely mounted, of course. There’s also a sepaT:8.5” rate spare tire compartment. Had one of

Cam Levins races to first international medal

Earle Couper Record Staff

There was more than just a wee dram of drama when Cameron Levins collected his first international medal. The 25-year-old Black Creek runner won bronze in the 10,000m race Aug. 1 at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Levins gave family, friends and fellow Canadians a thrilling finale to the 6.25-mile race as he sprinted to the finish line ahead of Uganda’s Moses Kipsiro and Kenya’s Josphat Kipkoech Bett. He was leading until five metres to go when Kipsiro (gold in 27:56.11) and Bett (silver in 27:56.14) edged by him at the finish line. Levins finished in 27:56.23 – barely a tenth of a second from gold.

IT WAS AN extremely close finish in the 10,000m race. Levins ran a terrific tactical race, keeping within striking distance of the leaders until the bell lap.

He made his way up to the lead, and looked headed for victory until the final few metres.

He said afterward that the result was due to his training with Alberto Salazar at the Nike Oregon Project. That training has resulted in improved finishing speed, as he ran a 55-second final lap. Speaking with CBC after the race, Levins said the plan was for him to make his strong move about 150m from the finish line. “It almost worked for me. I just barely got caught at the line. “I’m so pleased. That’s my first international medal. I couldn’t be happier,” he said, adding he will continue to train hard in order to finish higher on the podium in the future – a future that includes the Pan-Am Games and his second Olympics. While thousands of Canadians watched the exciting race on CBC, Levins mom and dad (Barb and Gus) and wife Elizabeth were at Hampden Park to see it

live. “We were out of our minds with excitement, screaming and yelling cheering him on,” said Barb. “Our view was right over the finish line. “It was such an unbelievable and surreal experience to see him compete so well at this level!! We and he believe that he can compete with the worlds’ best – he knows he has some more work to do, but it only inspires him to train even harder. “We are obviously so proud of this huge achievement but we know there are even bigger things to come from Cam!” Barb said. Levins is in France this week training for upcoming Diamond League races. Larry Street, athletic director at Levins’ G.P. Vanier alma mater, said it was great to see the former Towhee excelling on the

international scene. Expanding on his postrace comments in Glasgow, Levins said, “I know I’m in the right spot, and I don’t feel like I’m just going to be an also-ran now. I feel like I’m a deserving member of my team. “When you’re running with the Olympic champion in two events (Mo Farah), the Olympic silver medallist (Galen Rupp), multipletime world medallist (Matt Centrowitz), all my teammates are medallists in something. “This is validation that what I’m doing works, and training with the people I am is going to make me just as good. …” Levin’s bronze was one of 34 Canada earned en route to a third-place finish at the Games. England finished first and Australia was second.

Driver taking Camaro to Historic Motor Races

Courtenay resident Michael Zbarsky will be driving his 1988 Chevrolet Camaro in the 27th annual B.C. Historic Motor Races at Mission Raceway Park on Aug. 16-17. Racers from Alberta, Washington, Oregon and California will be challenging all the B.C. racers in open wheel (formula) and closed wheel (sedans and sports car) classes in the Vintage Racing Club of British Columbia (VRCBC) event. The British Columbia Historic Motor Races have run since 1976, when they were first staged at the famous Westwood track in

Coquitlam, until their current home at the multipurpose racing complex at Mission. A VRCBC spokesperson said the British Columbia Historic Motor Races is the largest vintage race event in Western Canada and a significant event in the Pacific Northwest, expecting 100 vintage and historic racing cars and as many as 3,000 spectators in attendance. For 2014 BCHMR is bringing back the popular Hagerty Formula Festival with the very quick open wheel purebred racing and sports racing car. Plans also include a celebration of the

50th anniversary of the arrival of Japanese sports cars in Canada with several of these historic cars participating in the racing as well as a Sunday afternoon parade. Always popular with classic car enthusiasts who display their fascinating cars is a special area, known as “the Field of Dreams,” which creates a unique show of its own. Adding to the festival atmosphere are the many sponsors’ booths offering everything from automobilia and artwork, to automotive product displays. The food concessions, informative track-side

commentary and excellent grandstand viewing all make this an entertaining weekend for families as well as long-time enthusiasts. The VRCBC is currently working on an additional lineup of interesting racing cars, racing celebrities and fun activities. As these are finalized, they will be announced on both the club’s website: www.vrcbc. ca and the event website www.bchmr.ca.

Pink salmon on the run; catch them if you can

e are currently in the middle of a large run of pink salmon in many of the systems in the Strait of Georgia. Pictured with this column is a daily limit catch of four prime pinks taken on a fly rod. They are the norm for those anglers fishing our river systems. Pinks are feisty fighters that give a good account of themselves on light tackle. Pinks are among the first salmon to hit our beaches before going up their natal streams. Savvy beach anglers start patrolling the beaches early in the morning on a receding tide for tell-tale signs of schools of migrating pinks swimming in the shallows. In calm waters you look for the bow wave ahead of a moving school of fish, or locate them by observing jumpers along the beach. They create a dream situation for casters of all types, especially fly fishers who cast their fly just ahead of the moving school of fish and wait for the pulse of a take – it is the stuff of legends. In a year of low water, schooling pinks off their natal streams are easy targets for wading anglers and harbour seals. With the current low water situation the fish may be forced to stay off the mouths of home streams until seasonal rains bring life-saving waters, creating passages for the waiting salmon to enter their natal rivers to complete their spawning run. Pink salmon are not large by salmon standards, they average three to four pounds with occasional individuals weighing in at eight or nine pounds. In many respects they are the perfect one-meal fish for a family. They smoke well and are excellent fish for canning. Properly handled they are nice fish for freezing in small family packages,

I saw a photograph of the pool at the diversion dam and it was so full of fish you could almost walk across the water on the backs of fish. I spoke to a happy camper who had got up early in the morning, drove up to the Campbell and caught

for canning in small salmon jars. For anglers who troll pinks, they are normally in the upper portion of the water column at about 50 feet, plus or minus.

The pink flies used in fishing sockeye will work well fished about 25 to 30 inches behind red or green flashers. Small pink hoochies, lures, streamers, bucktails are successful choices when starting to fish these tasty fish. Young people

who have limited resources to spend on fishing rods and tackle find pinks to be easy to catch along the beaches and in our rivers with modest equipment. A pair of old running shoes for the beach, some shorts and sunscreen and you are ready to go fishing. No boat or expensive wading gear is needed for summer salmon. During the 2013 season the Campbell River system had an unusually large run of pink salmon. The 2014 run of pinks is significantly larger than the run of last year. The run is so large that they have opened the upper section of the

GARRY JOSEPH ROSS Garry Joseph Ross, aka Roscoe, the King of Rock â€˜nâ€™ Roll, passed away at St. Josephâ€™s Hospital in Comox BC on Thursday, July 31st after battling cancer. Beloved son of Floyd Alexander Ross and the late Anne Marie Ross (nĂŠe MacPherson). Eldest sibling of 7 brothers & 4 sisters. Devoted father to Elijah Ross (m. Shannon), Crystal Welin (m. Ian) and Ashleigh Koglin. Grandfather to Isaac, Trey, Allysa, Quinn, Paige, Jessica and Annaka. Cherished by extended family Pauline, Amanda, Jason, Danielle, Kevin, Allison and Marie. Special thank you to the nursing staff on the 1st floor and ER, housekeeping, security guards, and remaining medical staff for their care, patience and friendship. Travelled across country for the love of nature, camping, golf, sports, music and family to find love, peace and happiness from Cornwall ON â€“ through the prairies and Rockies, to his final resting place in the Comox Valley, BC.

Frank Charles Bentley Crowther May 4, 1918 to July 31, 2014

Frank was born in Debtford (southeast London), England. He was predeceased by his mother and father, Nellie and Wilfred Crowther and four of his five siblings: Wilf Crowther, Ray Crowther, Von Townsend and Nellie Stump. He is survived by his wife Marion; six children: Lynn (Peter) Staton, Ron (Daphne) Crowther, Peggy (George) Colegrave, Betty (Gary Friedy) Crowther, Doug (Karen) Crowther and Bill (Fumi) Crowther, 13 grandchildren, 5 greatgrandchildren and his brother, Guy Crowther. Frankâ€™s family emigrated to Victoria, BC in 1925. Frank sold newspapers until he got a job with the CPR parcel delivery, which he stayed with until going to war in 1940. During the war, he was assigned to the 85th Canadian Bridge Corp (Fox Bailey Platoon) and had many anxious moments at the Front, building bridges for the advancing Allies. After the war, Frank returned to his job at the CPR. In 1949, he married Marion Boyle from Kinistino, Saskatchewan. They bought a small house in Langford and Frank soon had a job with the B.C. Department of Highways as a mechanic. In 1959, to shelter a growing family, Frank built a house in Happy Valley where most of his children grew up. While living in Langford and Happy Valley, Frank was active as a volunteer fireman/ambulance attendant and was involved in his familyâ€™s Catholic church. He was always known for his hard work, honesty and faithfulness to his family. After the children were gone, Frank and Marion moved a few times and travelled to exotic lands. They finally settled in Comox, BC, where they spent 18 years until moving in their last year to the Comox Valley Seniors Village. Family and friends will all miss him terribly. May he rest in peace. A mass of Christian burial will take place at Christ the King Catholic Church in Courtenay at 11:00 AM on Thursday, August 14th, preceded by prayers the night before at 7:00pm. Burial will be scheduled at a later date in Victoria. In lieu of flowers or any donations, if you have the opportunity, give your Dad a big hug.

Great racing out at Saratoga Speedway

Terry Guest

Special to the Record

Four high-flying monster trucks tore up the track over the B.C Day long weekend at Saratoga Speedway. Rockstar, California Kid, Iron Man and the Reverse Racer put on yet another amazing show, hitting some crazy air and some of the best wheelies we have ever seen. A season-high 33 Hornet cars filled the pits. In Saturday’s heats, #41 Brian Lippy took home his first ever win at Saratoga, taking the C heat. #53 Rowland Westra took the B heat, with the A heat going to #03 Jennifer Lawrenuk. In the 25-lap B main #16 Ashley White led the first 13 laps, but #87 Boston Larson wove his way through to grab the lead and then held off #10 Blair Mangles. Seven cars took to the track for the 20-lap A main. #08 Daryn Cahill jumped out to the lead on lap three and held off an

aggressive pack to win his second main event of the year. The Hornets ran six heats Sunday. #76 Taylor Pheaton took her first ever win in the C heat, with the B heat going to #18 Darren Monk and the A heat to #08 Daryn Cahill. The reverse heat winners were #54 Allen Pheaton in the C, #87 Boston Larson in the B and #12 Raymond Fortier in the A. In the 25-lap B main Monk led for the first 22 laps before Larson caught him and collected his second main event win in as many nights. In the 25-lap, 11-car A main the battle was between the

Cahill brothers, Daryn and Daryl, and #01 Kevin Lawrenuk. After some incredible bumper-to-bumper racing, Daryl beat his brother on the very last lap by less than an inch at the start/finish line. Eight Roadrunners qualified over the weekend. #66 Nick Leavitt started off hot on Saturday, setting fast time in qualifying and winning the 10-lap heat. In the 20-lap main, Leavitt jumped out to an early lead and pulled away to win his first main event of the year. On Sunday Leavitt started where he left off on Saturday, taking home the first 10-lap

heat and finishing third in the reverse heat, with the win going to #37 Bill Gallagher Jr. In the 20-lap main event, Gallagher Jr. had a strong hold on the lead until he ran into mechanical issues, opening the door for #77 Trace Stevenson to win his third main event of the year. A full field of Crash to Pass cars were in action. #40 Cam

Edward won the 10-lap heat on Saturday. In the 20-lap main event, points leader #73 Sheldon Hopp once again dominated the field, taking the lead on lap four en route to his fourth main event win in a row. Twelve Crash to Pass cars joined the action on Sunday. Hopp continued his dominance, taking the 10-lap heat and the 12-lap reverse heat. In

the 20-lap main event Hopp burst a tire early, putting him a few laps down and opening the door for #40 Cam Edward to win his first main event of the year.
