Former mayor recalled fondlyErin HaluschakRecord Staff

Universally remembered as a strong community leader with a big heart, former Comox mayor Jim Brass was remembered Sat-urday by friends, family and com-munity members.

Brass, 64, who passed away last week, served as mayor for the Town from 2002 to 2008. He also practiced dentistry, was the presi-dent of Comox Val-ley Marine Search and Rescue and was involved with the College of Den-tal Surgeons.

“His style of being a people per-son … was what really served him well in his politi-cal career,” said Mayor Paul Ives to the more than 350 people in atten-dance Saturday at the Comox Recre-ation Centre gym.

He recalled Brass’ accomplish-ments as mayor, his sense of humour, guidance and direction.

Orthodontist and work col-league Paul Helpard said he will most remember his friend by his big voice, his big hands and his big heart.

“He had the voice of a great leader. Whenever he joined an organization, he inevita-bly became the president,” he explained. “He put his heart into everything that he did; he put his heart on his sleeve.”

Helpard joked Brass con-tributed significantly to dental research, and was particularly

interested in how Coca-Cola con-tributed to tooth decay.

The third-generation dentist, Freemason and Rotarian, Brass was remembered by those in the community including former Courtenay mayor Starr Win-chester and current 19 Wing com-mander Col. Jim Benninger, who credited his ability to “be a great neighbour.”

Winchester recalled how Brass played a role in mending fences

between the various municipalities.

“He loved the town of Comox. He always said Comox is a great place to live and it’s worth working for.”

Comox Valley MP John Duncan echoed Winchester’s statements, and recognized his lead-ership and his big heart.

Former 19 Wing Comox wing com-mander and current

Courtenay councillor Jon Ambler said Brass and his family were the first people who made his family feel at home in the Comox Valley when he first moved to the area.

“He invited me out on his boat, and as an aviator, I didn’t know that much about boats. He gave me some great marine advice — watch out for the otter (excre-ment); it’s really slippery.”

Reflecting on his many accomp-plishments, Comox Valley MLA Don McRae explained Brass “made the Comox Valley a far better place.”

A $1.3-million amendment to the regional district financial plan for the G.P. Vanier artificial turf field project was approved Tuesday by the committee of the whole.

It will be considered by the CVRD board for final approval July 30.

The City of Cour-tenay has contribut-ed $860,000 and the Comox Valley United Soccer Club $400,000. A fourth partner,

School District 71, is providing land for the field, which is current-ly an all-weather grav-

el pitch with lights. It is adjacent to the track.

The CVRD is kick-ing in $190,000 to the

project. Construction is expected to begin next spring and finish in the late summer of 2014.

Tree issues ‘complex’Erin HaluschakRecord Staff

Comox council moved a step closer to allowing a new type of infill development in the town, but council-lors debated Wednes-day the importance of tree replacement for the process.

At the previous com-mittee of the whole meeting, council approved a variety of recommendations for staff to prepare an Offi-cial Community Plan amendment bylaw to create a new develop-ment permit area for coach houses.

Coun. Maureen Swift inquired last month about the tree reten-tion recommendation to replace one tree on

a property if required to remove a tree more than 20 centimetres in diameter to obtain the maximum coach house size.

She noted again the recommendation is “impractical … and could discourage this type of investment (for homeowners).”

“I’m not against trees, but we should let the owners determine what is best for their property,” she added.

Mayor Paul Ives said it was his understand-ing the recommenda-tion was not to replace a fir for a fir, or a maple for a maple, but to work with staff and home-owners to determine what tree might work best for a given space.

Coun. Ken Grant

suggested a motion which would include no net loss of trees, but if a homeowner did not want to replace a tree, they could pay into a town tree fund, which he suggested could be $100.

“This is a very com-plex issue. We just invested a lot of money into our urban forest plan,” replied Coun. Barbara Price. “We have a tree cover that many communities aspire to … I think it’s far more complicated than $100.”

An amended motion to bylaw 1752 of the Official Community Plan was approved for first and second read-ing, and a public hear-ing will be scheduled for September.

The Views Family Coun-cil will forward its yearly report — which outlines care concerns at the resi-dential facility — to various official bodies.

“We’ve decided to go to the Ministry (of Health), to VIHA (Vancouver Island Health Authority), to the (BC) Ombudsperson, and we sort of gave up work-ing with the hospital,” says council chair Ann Zanbilo-wicz. “We’ve also gone to Accreditation Canada.”

Zanbilowicz notes “99 per cent” of The Views staff are “caring and hard-work-ing” but she says The Views Family Council hasn’t had enough of its ongoing con-cerns addressed over the years.

Some of the requests out-lined in the yearly report include:

• Supply adequate staff-ing levels at all times;

• End the use of “inade-quate” continence products, don’t tell continent people to urinate in their diapers and have staff change resi-dents’ diapers in a timely fashion;

• Tell all families who the primary nurse (or case manager) is;

• Have an evalua-tion survey;

• Have staff wear name tags;

• Develop a “complete” emergency preparedness plan.

Zanbilowicz says resi-dents are sometimes told to pee in their diapers when they are continent because they need help toileting and

there aren’t enough staff members to help them.

“It’s abusive. It’s abusive to ask someone to pee in a diaper,” she says, add-ing another big concern is around a lack of commu-nication between staff and families. “Families don’t know whom to talk to about any concerns. We have repeatedly asked that all families and especially new, incoming families, be told who their case manager or team leader is and yet this still is not happening.

“We have asked for years for the staff to wear their name tags,” continues Zanbilowicz. “They seem unable to get their staff to wear their name tags everyday. And they’ll say to families, ‘Well, tell us who said that to you,’ and they (families) say, ‘Well we don’t

know their names.’ “St. Joseph’s General Hos-

pital president and CEO Jane Murphy says the hos-pital is proud of the care residents in The Views receive.

“Our staff are very dedi-cated and committed in giv-ing our residents competent and compassionate care to make their lives as pleas-ant as possible,” she says. “We value feedback from residents and families and have many mechanisms for families to provide input and raise concerns.”

She notes the hospital established a family feed-back group that meets monthly and family mem-bers are encouraged to bring any issues to any staff member’s attention, or provide written comments.

“We know there is always

more to improve upon and the input from our families helps us to identify these opportunities,” continues Murphy, adding staff has met with the Family Coun-cil in the past, and The Views has “worked on many initiatives to improve care relating to suggestions by the Family Council.”

According to Murphy, improvements include: staff education on dementia care and person-centred care; enhancing the emergency preparedness plan using VIHA’s template; improv-ing the resident handbook; implementing changes in staff breaks over lunch time to better support the residents; and developing communication forms.

“Our staffing levels are consistent with industry standards and we are cur-

rently making changes to provide more direct care at the bedside,” she adds.

Murphy notes hospi-tal management has not received a copy of the Fam-ily Council’s annual report, though she says one was sent to a hospital board member who is on vacation.

Zanbilowicz says she sent a copy to a board member, along with one to Bishop Richard Gagnon, Diocese of Victoria, and Comox Valley MLA Don McRae. She also notes she posted a copy on a bulletin board at The Views but it was removed.

Accreditation Canada is expected to conduct its site visit of St. Joseph’s from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, as has been planned for some time. Murphy says the hos-pital is prepared.

Views council frustrated with St. Joseph’s hospital

Airport anticipating logistics during air showErin HaluschakRecord Staff

With a possible 30,000 people descending around 19 Wing Comox, the Comox Valley Airport has a plan in place to ensure commercial passengers can get in and out of Comox smoothly.

“We’ve definitely learned some good lessons from the last air show,” explained Fred Bigelow, CEO of the Comox Valley Airport Commission. “The regu-larly scheduled flights are all going to go ahead as planned.”

Bigelow explained as part of the Comox Air Show, which is scheduled for Aug. 17 from 9 to 5 p.m., a sec-tion of the airfield will be shut down to accommodate spectators and visiting air-craft.

The parking lot area where attendees will be able to park will be locat-ed behind the terminal — around the area currently

occupied by commercial aircraft for loading and unloading of passengers and cargo.

Bigelow said on Aug. 16, 17, and 18 (if needed), passengers, after clear-ing security, will be bused from the boarding area to their planes, which will be located closer to a 19 Wing aircraft hangar.

Because of the extra time needed to bus passengers to and from their flights and to compensate for any traffic delays, Bigelow said passengers should arrive at least two hours ahead of time for any WestJet flight, and at least 1.5 hours ahead for Central Moun-tain Air or Pacific Coastal flights.

On the day of the air show, the terminal building will be accessed via Military Row during the show, and the entrance will be clearly marked, he added.

A special route via Ryan Road and Military Row has

been designated for anyone needing to access the air-port terminal during this time.

“RCMP will be there, and the base will provide flag-gers to help with the flow of traffic,” Bigelow said.

A special YQQ Airport

access pass is also avail-able for download from the airport’s website. The pass is available for passengers to print and display it on their windshield on the day of the show so that traffic controllers at Anderton and Ryan Road will not stop the

vehicles, he explained.Bigelow added passen-

gers should continually monitor the website for the most up-to-date informa-tion during the air show weekend.

“Plan for extra time — double or triple check the

flight times online.”For more information on

travelling from the airport or to print up the pass, visit www.comoxairport.com. For more information on the Comox Air Show, visit www.comoxairshow.ca.

New roof coming soon!Renee AndorRecord Staff

Courtenay Rotary heard last week its pro-posal to replace the roof of the Courtenay Train Sta-tion has been approved.

According to Courtenay Rotary’s Art Meyers, the roof will be made of metal shingles, which should last at least 50 years, and will be the same colour as the wooden shingles cur-rently on the station.

Courtenay Rotary announced its intention to re-do the roof back in March, and Meyers noted the club already had the money to do the job. However, he said the metal shingles had to be approved by Heritage Canada before Rotary could move ahead with the job.

“The approvals are in place all round (now), so we’re just getting the actual contractor and we’re going forward,” Mey-ers said last week, adding this roofing job will not be done by Rotarians as it

would be dangerous. “You won’t see any Rotarians up there, that’s the main thing.”

The Courtenay Train Station has been leak-ing for years, according to stationmaster Wayne Murphy, who noted water-damaged areas upstairs and on the main floor of the building during an early-February tour of the station.

He estimated the roof had been leaking for the past five or six years, and the damage was visible

in numerous places on the ceilings, including one spot where light was vis-ible through a hole.

Island Corridor Foun-dation owns the building and Courtenay Rotary hopped on board to help with upgrades. Meyers notes Rotary plans to fix up the station’s outside deck, which he says is in disrepair, plus it plans to repaint the building exte-rior with the same hue of red used when the station was first built — nearly 100 years ago.

Built in 1914, the sta-tion was given heritage status by the City of Cour-tenay in 2002.

Part of the Rotary Trail already extends past the Courtenay Train Station, and a beautification project in the area is planned by the City of Courtenay.

Meanwhile, Island Cor-ridor Foundation is still working to restore passen-ger service on the Island. For more information, visit www.islandrail.ca.

College pleased with utilizationRenee AndorRecord Staff

North Island College’s utilization rate reached nearly 90 per cent of its target in the past year — the highest rate in over a decade.

According to director of college and community relations Susan Auchter-lonie, the college reached 89.3 per cent of its utiliza-tion rate target during its 2012/2013 fiscal year. She’s very pleased with the rate, especially considering the way the college is set up.

“Given the way we oper-ate, the regional delivery that we have to do, multi-campus, smaller class sizes, 100 per cent’s just not reasonable — we likely won’t ever achieve that,” says Auchterlonie, noting NIC’s utilization rate for 2013/2013 was one of the highest of all B.C. colleges.

She adds the college exceeded its targets in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Practical Nursing programs.

According to the final FTE (full time equivalent) report, the college had a total of 2,541 FTEs in 2012/2013. NIC also had

104 international student FTEs enrolled.

The Comox Valley cam-pus produced 1,167 FTEs this past year, up from 1,138 the previous year.

“It’s really wonderful to see the increase year over year,” says Auchterlonie of NIC’s growing enrolment numbers. “Particularly at the Comox Valley campus, we’re seeing a lot of inter-est in sciences, math, enrol-ments are very, very strong, business program, very strong, so it just speaks to the quality of instruction we’re providing, the options we’re providing incoming students, as well as the pathways we’ve carved out from North Island College to wherever the students want to go.”

Agreements with other post-secondary institutions have “really increased our numbers of direct high school entries significantly,” says Auchterlonie.

“It just adds a different dynamic to our classrooms and they’re excellent stu-dents that are coming, so we’re really excited about that.”

A Hornby Island opponent of BC Hydro smart meters says options presented last week by Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett are discrimi-natory.

People refusing smart meters can opt out from standard smart meter installa-tion, but they will pay to do so. BC Hydro has three options for those who have refused installation.

They can:• Accept a standard

smart meter;• Accept a digital

meter with the radio turned off, which would mean a one-time cost estimated at $100 for installation, plus a fee of about $20 per month to cover the cost of reading the meter;

• Keep their ana-log meter and pay a monthly fee — as yet unannounced — which would cover the cost of reading the meter, plus the cost of creat-ing a separate system to record consumption for billing.

Ministry communi-

cations director Matt Gordon says the cost to keep an analog meter should be announced “sooner rather than later,” noting the cost of the separate system is more complex for BC Hydro to calculate.

According to a Minis-try news release, these fees will be reviewed by the BC Utilities Commission before they become official “to ensure that BC Hydro is only recovering the cost of providing and servicing the radio-off and analog options.”

Will Thomas — a Hornby Island resi-dent who represented a group dubbed Royston Citizens for Safe Tech-nology in an anti-smart meter presentation to the Comox Valley Regional District over a year ago — calls the options discriminatory.

“Some of the costs … $100 to set up a digital meter, $20 a month to read it, and whatever the costs are for an analog, will deny the very ‘opt out’ option to British Columbians who cannot afford this additional fee struc-ture,” he says. “So it appears to be discrimi-

natory on the face of it for people who cannot economically afford to exercise these so-called options, and I call this extortion.”

B e n -nett notes the aim b e h i n d the fees is to ensure extra costs BC Hydro will incur from the o t h e r o p t i o n s are not subsidized by all BC H y d r o customers who have standard s m a r t meters.

“This decision finds an appropriate balance between addressing the concerns raised by people who have put their meter installation on hold, while ensur-ing that the majority of customers who have a standard smart meter will not be paying for those who select an opt out option.”

Thomas says British Columbians were never asked whether they

wanted to opt in.“We never opted in,

therefore we don’t feel we need to pay to opt out,” he says, adding

the pro-gram was “ f o i s t e d on” British Columbi-ans. “We — the peo-ple who want noth-ing to do with these radiation m e t e r s , that’s the g o v e r n -m e n t ’ s problem — we didn’t opt in. We don’t feel that any-one, any

British Columbian, should be penalized for this program, whether people are in or out.”

According to Gor-don, if an analog meter must be replaced in the future, such as if it stops working, that cus-tomer will be offered a digital meter with the

radio turned off.The Provincial

Health Officer, Health Canada and the World Health Organization have confirmed that smart meters pose no known health risk or reason for concern, according to the Minis-try release.

Advocacy groups claim the meters emit radiation, increase the likelihood of structure fires and violate pri-vacy rights.

S i x t y - t h o u s a n d meter installations have been delayed in B.C. due to customer request. About 96 per cent of BC Hydro cus-tomers now have smart meters provincially. In the Comox Valley region that number sits at about 93 per cent.

BC Hydro will offer an enrolment period from Sept. 1 to Dec. 1 for those holding out to make their decision. The installations are expected to be com-plete by Mar. 1 next year.

It’s the same com-pany, but there’s going to be a new look for the grocery space at the Comox Centre Mall.

Loblaw Companies Limited — which oper-ates The Real Cana-dian Superstore in Courtenay — has con-firmed the Extra Foods store in the mall will be converted to a Your Independent Grocer store later this year.

“The existing store will be renovated to provide an exceptional shopping experience for our customers,” explained Julija Hunt-er, vice-president of public relations for Loblaw.

She added the store will remain open dur-ing the renovation.

The new store means customers will find a more diverse assort-ment of fresh foods, including organic pro-duce, meat and seafood, bakery and deli offer-ings.

“Also, a natural value department featuring gluten-free and organic products, and a Meals to Go department fea-turing a great selection of items prepared fresh daily including pizzas, hot entrees, salads, sushi, soup and sand-

wiches,” said Hunter.She noted customers

shopping at the store will still be able to find President’s Choice and no-name products.

The store will be led by current Extra Foods store manager John Jerczynski, who will become the franchisee

owner. The store will be

the fourth in the prov-ince. Your Independent Grocer operates 50 one-stop-shop super-markets throughout Ontario, predominant-ly in northern Ontario, Sudbury and Ottawa.

Don’s key opened the lock of Houdini’s Trunk to find four passes donated by the Shaw Ocean Discovery Cen-tre in Sidney, as well as two nights accom-modation donated by the Balmoral Group of Hotels at either the Waddling Dog Quality Inn in Saanichton or the EconoLodge Inn and Suites in Victoria.

The event was a fun-

draiser for 4R’s Edu-cation Centre (Soc.) which, since 1989, has been helping children of the Comox Valley become happy, success-ful students.

— 4R’s Education Centre

Little Cruisers start-ed six years ago when facilitator, Chris Chap-ple, discovered a gap in services for families of children in the seven- to 14-month range.

There were many programs related to infants and their new born needs and many programs for children 18 months and older but not a lot for par-ents of that age of ‘firsts’ — learning to sit up, crawl, talk, eat-ing their first solid food and walking.

Little Cruisers plac-es an emphasis on edu-cation about a child’s

physical and nutri-tional needs and gives parents a social con-nection where they can also learn from each other.

Little Cruisers is a wonderful place for babies to play and explore. A grant of $8,075 from Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island will allow this important community program to open its doors again in September of 2013.

Young Chefs are keeping active this summer while learn-ing about new foods in a four-day camp spon-sored by Thrifty Foods and co-ordinated by Active Comox Valley.

From July 16 to 19, campers converged at the Courtenay Rec Centre to learn hands-on educational, nutritional snack prep-aration and partici-pate in fun activities and games. The week finished with a tour of Thrifty Foods and a swim at the Comox Valley Aquatic Centre.

Maiya Campbell, 10, said, “It was real-ly fun learning about new foods and different ways to cook!”

This energizing camp is offered every year at various com-munity centres around the Comox Valley. To ensure the program is affordable to all fami-lies, Thrifty Foods sub-sidizes the registrant’s fee at each camp, mak-ing it extremely popu-lar.

There is another camp taking place in August at the Comox Community Centre, but there is already a waiting list.

The 10- to 12-year-old campers learned about interesting foods they had never heard of before (dragon fruit was a big hit!), and discovered new ways to enjoy some of their favourite meals.

The fruit pizza was popular with campers, and everyone loved making sandwich on a stick — sliding cubes of bread, cheese, meat and vegetables onto a skewer.

Ryan Stoltz, 10, was excited to join this pop-ular summer camp.

“I came here to have lots of fun, which I did! And to learn about

foods, which I also did!” he smiled.

Keeping active is an important component of the camp, teach-ing children to make healthy food choices while setting aside time for daily activity.

It was an exciting year for the 189 Port Augusta Sea Cadets.

The highlight of the year was in February when the Sea Cadets went on an exchange to London, Ont. They experienced cultural activities such as the Hockey Hall of Fame, CN Tower, Science World and Niagara Falls as well learning and socializing with the London Air Cadet Squadron.

The Corps showed the public their excel-lent parade skills at local Remembrance Day and Battle of the Atlantic ceremonies. In January, the Seaman-ship team competed at the Zone Seamanship competition in Victoria and two of cadets have progressed to national competitions.

MS Oressa Mathers-Cyr represented the B.C. composite team, attending a week-long national marksman-ship competition in St. Catharines, Ont., returning with two silver and two bronze medals.

MS Chris Volk-ers and his teammate are part of the B.C. team attending the

week-long national Sea Cadet Regatta in Kingston, Ont., next month. Volkers com-peted at the national regatta last summer and returned with a silver medal.

The corps held its 70th annual ceremonial review recently at Glacier Gardens. 19 Wing Lieut.-Col. Wayne Joy served as reviewing officer and was joined in the reviewing party by 19 Wing Chief Warrant Officer Cam Winters, Comox Valley Navy League president Shannon Kraska and commanding officer Lieut. (Navy) Dan Richard.

The band from 386 Komux Royal Canadi-an Air Cadet Squadron played. Following the inspection and march-past, cadets treated the audience of invited guests, family mem-bers and friends to demonstrations includ-ing seamanship, first aid, physical fitness, sailing and Marks-manship, each of which displayed the skills acquired throughout the year.

Quality Foods pre-pared and served cake

in honour of 189 Port Augusta’s 70th anni-versary, while Costco donated a portion of the refreshments.

Branch 160 Legion president Stu McKin-non presented a $1,000 donation to Kras-ka. The Navy League is the sponsor of 189 Port Augusta.

189 Port Augusta has been active in the community since 1943. Through a variety of training and activities the cadet program aims to develop in youth the attributes of leader-ship, good citizenship, promote physical fit-ness while learning about the activities of the Canadian Forces.

The program is open to young people aged 12 to 18 and new mem-bers will be welcome when the new training year begins in Septem-ber 2013.

THE ARTS 10 TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2013 COMOX VALLEY RECORD

Children’s writing promotion called I Love Forest CreaturesPaula WildRecord Arts

“Boy and girl fairies live on our shoulders,” says singer/song-writer and author Mary Murphy.

She’s Irish so she should know. In fact, she believes in fairies so much she even has her own fairy outfit. And when she wears it, she’s called Fairy Mary.

To promote children’s litera-cy, Fairy Mary has launched an online writing contest for chil-dren age four to nine. And she’s teamed up with the Courtenay branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library to present Fairy Mary’s Summer Story and Writing Adventure Series at the library the first four Thursdays in August.

“I want to encourage young children to write,” says Fairy Mary. “And I want it to be really fun and creative. Parents might have to type the story into the entry form but the words have to be the children’s own.”

Entrants can write a 100-word essay on I Love Forest Creatures and/or Fairies or an experience they’ve had with fairies or forest creatures. The contest is free but children must reside on Vancou-ver Island.

Six judges — a Fairy King and Queen, a Brownie, a Badger and a Mouse Queen and King — are making a special trip from Ire-land to help Fairy Mary select the contest winner.

“The judges will be looking for real feelings and observations, not perfect grammar,” says Fairy Mary.

Generous sponsors mean Fairy Mary is able to present fabu-lous prizes from Laughing Oyster Bookstore, Courtenay Pet Cen-tre, Hot Chocolates, Blue Heron Books, Whale’s Tale Toys and more.

The contest winner will be announced at the Courtenay library on Aug. 22. To find out more or enter the contest, visit www.marymurphy.ca. Look for the monkey reading a book.

The Fairies and Forest Crea-tures Summer Story and Writing Adventure Series takes place at the Courtenay library Aug. 1, 8, 15 and 22 from 1 to 1:30 p.m. each day.

In these free, drop-in sessions, Fairy Mary will lead children in a story telling and writing adventure. Children do not need to enter the writing contest to attend.

“The adventure series is a good way for children to use their imag-inations and be creative,” says

Fairy Mary. “I hope to encourage a love of reading and writing.”

As well as listening to stories and talking about words, children will also make crafts and be eli-gible for prizes. Since every child must be accompanied by an adult, there are even prizes for moms and dads. All prizes will be pre-sented at the Aug. 22 celebration where goodies will be served.

For the adventure series Fairy Mary will be dressed in her finest fairy costume and invites boys and girls to dress up as fairies or forest creatures if they like. Chil-dren are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions.

If you’d like to support Fairy Mary’s Literacy Program, click on the reading monkey link on her

webpage and follow the prompts or visit Courtenay’s Finneron Hyundai Facebook page and click on like from now until Aug. 1 and the car dealership will contribute $1 to the program.

“Thank you Finneron Hyundai and all my other kind-hearted sponsors,” says Fairy Mary. “I was born to create and believe my history in the arts in living proof of that.”

The Mah Endowment for the Arts presented Murphy with an award for advancing children’s education in her book Away with the Fairies.

Paula Wild is a published author and regular contributor to the Comox Valley Record’s arts and entertainment section.

PROMOTING CHILD LITERACY, Fairy Mary Murphy has launched an online writing contest for children age four to nine.

Join renowned Canadian musician Phil Dwyer on July 26 for a great evening of main-stream and contemporary jazz.

Phil will be accompanied by participants in the eighth annual Academy of Musi-cal and Culinary Arts. These are some of the top amateur and semi-pro musicians from Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Alberta.

Dwyer is well-known to music fans for his many award-winning recordings, interna-tional touring, and frequent appearances on CBC Radio.

In addition to his work as a musician and educator, he is an advocate for greater aware-ness surrounding the issues of addiction and mental health. He recently appeared at a TEDx conference speaking to these issues and his presen-tation has had thousands of

views on YouTube. Joining Phil and the gang

will be Vancouver trombone star Rod Murray. Rod is the ‘first call’ trombonist in Van-couver for everything from the-atre work to big band, Latin jazz, R&B and everything in between. Notably, when brass legend Ian McDougall was choosing a second trombone for his all-star 12 piece group Rod got the call.

This will be a rare opportu-nity for Comox Valley jazz fans to hear this master musician.

Concert tickets are $20 and are available through Bop City Records in Courte-nay. Seating is limited.

The event begins at 8 p.m. at 2679 Beaufort at First Ave. in Cumberland. E-mail [email protected] for more information.

— Studio Live!

Jazzman Dwyer visiting Cumberland

ACCLAIMED JAZZ PLAYER Phil Dwyer will play this Friday at Studio Live! in Cumberland with the PDAMCA All-Stars and special guest Vancouver trombonist Rod Murray.

When Kymme Pat-rick, owner and direc-tor of Theatreworks, began writing the scripts for her summer drama camps, one local news story kept com-ing to mind — the con-troversy surrounding the Maple Pool camp-ground residents.

“I was really affected by the predicament of these people,” said Pat-rick.

“You’re homeless. You’ve had a place that you have been wel-comed to, and you are happy trying to make a home camping out there for years, and then suddenly, boom, there is a flood, and then, even more sud-denly, boom, the pow-ers that be want you out.”

Patrick realized that the topic of homeless-ness was an important issue for children to explore. She was suc-cessful in facilitating a Youth against Home-lessness teen program a few years ago and the issues are still the same.

“So, I wrote Fairy Island, about a place where fairies and elves have lived in peace for years, only to see the elves displaced by a flood. The play is not an exact allegory for what is happening here, but it is about how all kinds of people deserve to be treated kindly, and provided a place where they are welcome to live, regard-less of their differences or social standing.”

Fairy tales have an ancient tradi-tion, across cultures, of teaching children important morals about how to live a good life. From Aesop to Grimm, children have taken away important

lessons about being a better, kinder, wiser person.

Miranda Hatch, one of the summer student actors, believes, “The play is about accepting people no matter who they are. Kymme talk-ed to us about Maple Pool and I got it right away.

“Our play has pirates, fairies, elves and all sorts of other creatures but they are all mostly good at heart. They just do not always understand one another.”

Budding actors from age five to 13 make up the ensemble cast of the one-hour play. The play is a family-friend-

ly show that combines entertainment and education.

Fairy Island runs July 25 and 26 at 7 p.m. and July 27 at 1:30 p.m. at the former Comox Elementary (now Gateway Acad-emy) off Rodello Road in Comox).

Tickets are avail-able at the door and at Laughing Oyster Book-shop. Partial proceeds will go to Maple Pool and Dawn to Dawn.

VERSATILE JIM BYRNES will perform with Steve Dawson Aug. 4 and 5 at the Filberg Festival in Comox.

Jim Byrnes is a complex man.Some folks know him as the bluesman

who was born down in St. Louis, eventu-ally making his way up to Vancouver in the 1970s.

Over the years Jim has played with a vir-tual who’s who of the blues: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Robert Cray.

Some folks know Jim as the actor who has appeared in many TV and movie roles, achieving fame on the Wiseguy, Highlander and Sanctuary TV series.

Well, there is another facet of Jim Byrnes for folks to explore — the man who has a passion for country music. In 2012, he released a CD of his favourite country tunes to prove it.

I Hear the Wind in the Wires is a collec-tion of songs from the golden age of country music, many of which Jim has been listen-ing to for all of his life. He has turned back the hands of time to take his listeners into the world of country music, but not the kind of country music heard on the radio anytime this century.

Modern country records often favour overplaying and glossy production more than talent and authentic emotion.

The tales of lawlessness and tender love, recklessness and yearning, and tough as nails characters with sentimental flaws are songs that Jim sounds as if he was born to sing. Not just any musician can feel music like this and bring it to life.

Steve Dawson is the producer and multi-instrumentalist for this celebration of the music of Buck Owens, Ray Price, Hank Williams, Marty Robbins and other coun-try music legends. Listening to I Hear the Wind in the Wires is a rare and exhilarating experience.

This is the most natural and downright joyous album of Jim Byrnes’ career. There’s nothing more powerful than a good song and nobody knows that better than Jim.

If a song is good enough, it can lift us up, bring us to tears, and heal a broken heart. Folks will have two chances to hear Jim Byrnes and Steve Dawson perform songs from I Hear the Wind in the Wires at the Filberg Festival.

The Filberg Festival in Comox happens Aug. 2 to 5. Tickets are $15 daily or $40 for the weekend pass.

This family-friendly festival celebrates excellence in all forms of Canadian arts and crafts and music with over 100 juried crafts booths, plus music on two stages, a children’s area, and concession booths. The objective of the festival is to raise the money needed to restore, preserve and maintain the beautiful Filberg Heritage Lodge and Gardens.

The lodge is open for guided tours throughout the festival and the gardens are open to the public year round.

For more information, go to www.filberg-festival.com. — Filberg Festival

Byrnes plays country faves

Christy’s life has ended up in a boxHalf-finished notes,

scrawled snippets of conver-sation, observations made on the run, photographs of people known and unknown, scraps of paper with puzzling sketches on them, receipts, matchpacks, postcards, and other assorted paraphernalia — have all ended up in a Peek Frean’s tin biscuit box.

For nearly 40 years, Jim Christy has thrown — willy-nilly, and with neither rhyme nor reason — such seemingly

random items into the box. There has been absolutely

no system to it; maybe, the author says, “I thought ‘I’ll pay more attention to this later’ or, perhaps, ‘I’ve got to check that one out some day…give it the attention it deserves.’ ”

Since Christy is a restless traveller, investigative jour-nalist and raconteur, many of these items have rich and alluring stories attached to them. The Peek Frean’s bis-

cuit box has provided the essential ingredients for a fascinating assortment of highly entertaining anecdotal tales.

Jim will present Aug. 9 at the Courtenay Library from 2 to 3 p.m.

Christy is a writer, artist, and tireless traveller. The author of more than 20 books, including poetry, short sto-ries, novels, travel, and biog-raphy, his travels have taken him from the Yukon to the

Amazon, Greenland to Cam-bodia. He has covered wars and exhibited his art interna-tionally.

Raised in inner city Phila-delphia, he moved to Toronto when he was 23 years old and became a Canadian citizen at the first opportunity.

Fennell excels at world bodybuilding competitionOn July 13, local ath-

lete, martial arts teacher and personal trainer Alicia Fennell participated in the WBFF (world bodybuilding and fitness federation) at the River Rock Casino in Richmond. The event host-ed upwards of 120 competi-tors and boasts one of the largest international orga-nizations in the world for fitness and bodybuilding.

Fennell competed in two categories: figure (muscle tone, proportion, defini-tion and overall show of strength while maintain-ing a womanly physique) and fitness (overall fitness, leanness and health of the competitor).

Scores were based on physique (40 per cent),

marketability (40 per cent) and stage presence (20 per cent).

This was Fennell’s first time competing in a phy-sique and fitness compe-tition. She placed second in fitness and third in the figure category.

The experience allowed her to break down diet and exercise to a fine-tuned sci-ence, losing five per cent body fat in three months.

She thanks Axe capoeira and her community in the Comox Valley, including cli-ents at Energia fitness for their support and positive encouragement.

Train with Fennell at the Comox Rec Centre or call-ing (250) 898-7918, Energia Fitness.

ALICIA FENNELL, RIGHT, placed in the top three in both categories at a WBFF event.

DYLAN BAMS WAS part of the Canadian soccer team that placed seventh at the summer Universiade in Russia.

Bams, Canada seventh at summer UniversiadeRecord Staff

Dylan Bams and the Canadian men’s team stared down some of the world’s soccer giants en route to a respectable seventh-place finish at the International University Sports Federation (FISU) summer Universiade this month in Kazan, Russia.

In round robin play, the team tied its first game against France 2-2, defeat-ed beat Peru 2-0 and tied defending bronze med-allists from Brazil 1-1. Canada finished second in Pool D based on goal dif-ferential behind eventual tourney winner France.

The Canadians lost 4-1 in the quarter finals to host Russia, then dropped a 1-0 decision to the Ukraine in the next round. The squad defeated Malaysia 3-1 in its final match to place seventh out of 15 teams.

Bams, a 23-year-old attacking central midfield-er who hails from Fanny Bay, sat out the game against Peru because he was sitting on a yellow card.

France won gold by defeating Great Britain 3-2 in the championship final. Japan blanked Rus-sia 3-0 in the bronze medal match. Brazil finished 14th.

The seventh-place

result for the Canadian squad was the second-best finish in program history behind the men’s fourth-place finish in 2007 at Bangkok, Thailand. Can-ada finished ninth in 2011 at Shenzhen, China.

The Universiade is a multi-sport event held every two years, second only to the Olympics in terms of numbers of ath-letes and countries. The FISU games are open to athletes at least 17 and under 28 as of Jan. 1 in the year of the competition. Participants must be full-time college or university students, or have gradu-ated in the year preceding the event.

The six-foot Bams earned a spot on Canada’s 18-man roster from more than 100 CIS and NCAA players. He was one of three players from British Columbia who made the squad.

Bams is enrolled in physical education at the University of Toronto, where he finished a five-year stint playing with the Varsity Blues soccer team. He was a four-time provincial all-star, twice named to the first team. In his first year he was named Blues’ rookie of the year. In his last season he was named team MVP. He helped the Blues to three

provincial finals, winning the title in 2010. The team also qualified for three national tournaments, twice losing in the semis.

Last year, along with being named U of T men’s soccer MVP, he was award-ed the university’s Silver T, given to outstanding graduating student-ath-letes.

His long-term goal is to play professional soccer.

Bams is a product of the Comox Valley United Soccer program. He played house league as a young-ster and later with rep teams. At 14, he played for Nanaimo’s Upper Island Gunners in the B.C. Select League. In high school, he helped the 2008 G.P Vanier team to an Island championship and a berth at the provincial tourna-ment.

Local road race holds B.C. recordThe Comox Nautical

Days 4 Mile Road Race is once again being held on the streets of Comox.

The annual event is organized by the Comox Valley Road Runners as part of the annual Comox Nauti-cal Days celebrations. It will be held on BC Day, with the race starting at 9 a.m. Aug. 5 in front of Comox Town Hall.

The event has the distinction of being the longest continuously held road race in B.C.

This year is its 44th anniversary. The race was first held in 1969 and has become a tra-ditional part of Nau-tical Days festivities. It is held immediately before the main parade and many people line the streets, Comox Avenue in particular, to watch the action before being further enter-tained by the parade.

The race is always popular with residents, who stay to enjoy the remainder of the day, but also attracts numerous runners

from across Vancou-ver Island. It is a fam-ily event, with parents and children often run-ning together. Unfortu-nately, organizers are not permitted to allow strollers or dogs for safety and insurance reasons.

There is an award and prize for the first male and female fin-isher and ribbons for the first three finishers in each gender and age group. There are free post-race refreshments for participants and goodies are awarded

as draw prizes for run-ners and volunteers.

The event’s main sponsor is realtor Jim Smiley of ReMax Ocean Pacific Realty.

“I’m privileged once again to sponsor this long-standing Nauti-cal Days tradition – a fixture on the B.C. rac-ing scene for 44 years,” Smiley said.

The route follows Beaufort Avenue into Comox Avenue past the Filberg onto Dono-van Drive and right onto Balmoral Avenue. At Torrance Road it turns left up the hill to Noel Avenue, where the runners turn left. After passing the firehall it turns right onto Linshart Avenue before turning left at Bolt Avenue.

From here the run-ners turn left onto Anderton Road before turning left at Comox Avenue to a well-deserved finish in front of the site of the former Lorne Hotel.

The cost of entry is $10, with day of race registration only.

Register at the start in front of Comox Town Hall between 8 and 8:45 a.m. There is no parking at the start of the race. It is recom-mended that runners park at Comox Centre Mall next to the finish line.

For more informa-tion about the event contact race director Graham Garner at [email protected].

LAST YEAR’S WINNERS presented awards by Jim Smiley are Melissa Ross and Craig Odermatt.

www.comoxvalleyrecord.com SPORTS COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, July 23, 2013 23

Fifty seven feet was the winning toss in the fourth annual car tossing competi-tion Saturday at Saratoga Speedway. Geoff Hughes of Courtenay barely beat the next closest toss by Art Bawrick of Campbell River by one foot. An engine pull-ing competition between Hughes and Bawrick would decide the overall win-ner, with Hughes destroy-ing Bawrick, removing his engine in only a minute and a half, and winning his second straight car tossing competition.

Some amazing oval rac-ing also took place Saturday with a trio of mid-season championships awarded. The Crash to Pass, Hor-nets and the Roadrunners were all battling for their

championships, making for some exciting racing. The Figure 8 cars were also on the card.

The mid-season champi-onship for the Roadrunners was already won coming into the night. #17 Dan Kemp held an insurmount-able 265 point lead. Fifteen laps were given to a six-car field for the main event; #66 Nick Leavitt jumped to an early lead and he wouldn’t look back from there, taking home the win.

A season high eight Fig-ure 8s hit the Black Creek oval in their ‘for fun’ class, with #01 Kevin Lawrenuk dominating the field, win-ning both heats and the 12 lap main. In the Hornet B class, #12 Raymond Fortier held a strong 172 point lead

over #81 Jeremy Stormo, who was on a three-main event winning streak com-ing into Saturday. Reverse heats were given to the Bs: #87 Boston Larson won the C heat, with the reverse going to #21 Megan Mayo. Fortier held off Stormo to win the first B heat, with the reverse going to Stormo who dominated the field.

With a 168 point lead over Stormo going into the 25 lap main, Fortier was guaranteed to win the championship.

After some early bat-tling, Stormo emerged as the leader on lap 10 and he wouldn’t look back from there, winning his fourth

straight main, with Fortier second. The closest battle was in the Hornet A divi-sion: #14 Kyle Fallowfield held a slim 85 point lead over Lawrenuk. Before the night began though, Fal-lowfield’s primary car blew its transmission, making him race a back-up car. Lawrenuk jumped on the opportunity, winning the A heat, and finishing second in the reverse.

Fallowfield’s lead dimin-ished to 54 going into the 20 lap main.

Lawrenuk again jumped to an early lead and he wouldn’t look back. Fallow-field’s second place finish in a borrowed car would win

him the championship by 37 points.

Two-time defending Crash to Pass champion #01 The ‘General’ Jeff May was in his usual spot com-ing into Saturday, holding a 149 point lead over his cousin #02 Matt May for first. #73 Sheldon Hopp took the first heat, with the reverse going to points leader May. 163 points separated cousins Jeff and Matt going into the main event, meaning Jeff would once again be the Crash to Pass mid season champion. After three early cautions, Hopp pulled away from the field and won the 20 lap main.

Extra laps...The Wilroc sprint cars will make their second appearance of the

year on Saturday. These are the fastest cars on the Island, averaging lap times of 14-15 seconds, almost two seconds faster than the next fastest class. Accompa-nying these speed demons will be the I.M.C.A. Modi-fieds, Dwarf cars, Bomber cars and Motorcycles, mak-ing this a night full of the fastest cars on the Island. The following long weekend marks the most anticipated weekend of the year, the Monster Trucks. Five high flying trucks will be attend-ing two nights of amazing action at Saratoga. A full field of Crash to Pass, Hor-nets, Roadrunners and Fig-ure 8 cars will also be on the card, making these two weekends ones you won’t want to miss.

The Comox Val-ley Cycle Club annual Dove Creek Omnium had 53 riders enjoy great racing and a fun-draiser for Lac Megan-tic.

Festivities started Saturday morning with the Royston cri-terium. In Category C, local rider Isaac Van der Vliet took the win over Victoria’s Brenna Pauly and other com-petitors. In the Sat-urday afternoon eight km Burns Road time trial Isaac and Brenna repeated the feat on the tough course to fin-ish in 14:01 and 14:58.

In the Sunday Morn-ing 52km Dove Creek road race, the young duo dropped the two older riders with Isaac attacking on the hill only to have Brenna claw the distance back and nipping him at the line.

In Category B, the Saturday criterium contested by 16 riders had many attacks and came down to out of town riders John Guth-rie and Nick Kupiak and local rider Aaron Milan in first, second and third respectively.

The time trial con-sisted of two laps of Burns Road, a total of 16.2km, won by local rider Kent Duncan in a time of 26:14.

The final Sunday road race on Dove Creek went for 69km and had attacks from the start. Local rider

Damian Parlee initi-ated the final break-away and was quickly joined by local rider Doug Merrick and out of towner Nick Kupiak. In the final run up to the line Nick took the win over Damian after Doug came off the pace on the final climb.

In Category A crite-rium, club alumni Jor-dan Duncan took the win over teammate Alex Amiri. In the time

trial Jordan again took the win in a blister-ing 24:08, more than 30 seconds over second place Kerry White.

In the 86km road race the final break-away initiated by Craig Lunn took a couple other riders for the last couple of laps. On the final lap Craig dropped the rest of the riders as the charging pack swal-lowed all but himself and Matt Billinghurst.

Amiri and Duncan won the bunch sprint.

A barbecue raised $600 for Lac Megan-tic, Que. where a train derailment and fire killed dozens of people. The town held the Canadian cycling nationals the last two years.

Funds will be matched by the Cana-dian Cycling Asso-ciation towards Lac Megantic.

The Remax Ocean Pacific peewee AA rep baseball team is hav-ing a great summer, steadily improving and playing some enter-taining ball.

The team travelled to a wonderful baseball setting in Duncan July 13. Game results: 9-5 loss to Duncan Red Sox and a 13-11 win over Richmond Chuckers. The morning game saw a towering 280-foot home run to deep cen-tre by Comox’s Brad

Teasdale. The after-noon game was high-lighted by a great back and forth hot box that saw Matthew Teasdale out hustle the Rich-mond defenders. The team finished strong.

The team continued their winning ways Sunday at home with two convincing victo-ries.

In the first game July 14, Dawson Fox pitched all five innings. The team supported him with plenty of run

support. They ended up beating the Port Alberni A’s 15-2. Some stand out baseball was played by the entire squad.

Later that afternoon the team earned a well-fought victory over the Victoria Wildcats 13-1. The team was batting well all day and made very few defensive errors. Thomas Green made an amazing div-ing stab at short stop which helped lift the team to a convincing

victory.Rob Green coaches

the team, which prac-tices two to three times a week, with usually two double headers on the weekend.

They will compete at the 10-team provincial championship event Aug. 1-4 at Aspen Park in Comox.

This summer, you can enjoy the stunning beaches of the Goose Spit or Tribune Bay by private boat.

Or, spend the day on the water catch-ing your own crabs or prawns for your suc-culent seafood supper.

Or cruise around the Courtenay River and estuary with your poker pals or office mates. You could finally even get to see Mitlenatch Island Nature Reserve up close!

Comox Harbour Charters has launched a much-needed boat charter service for the Comox Valley and beyond.

Locally owned and operated by longtime (as in, forever) resident Danny Clair and his wife, Peggy Johnson, Comox Harbour Char-ters offers one-hour, half-day, full-day, and overnight excursions from people who know the treasures that the Valley and North Island hold.

Their trips to the local islands (wheth-er Lasqueti or Tree) reveal the rich marine life of the West Coast, and their aquaculture and ecological tours showcase Baynes Sound shellfish farms and the Comox Estu-ary.

Or, with its shallow draft for beach access and room to carry kayaks and bikes, the boat allows for self-designed, customized excursions like bike trips around Hornby or fishing trips to Stuart Island.

A 40-foot heated ves-sel, the Twee Schoenen (Dutch for “two shoes”) carries up to 12 pas-sengers; with full washroom facilities and a galley kitchen, it is well suited for family reunions or office par-ties, games nights or jam sessions.

Its hand-railed, wrap-around outer deck offers a safe, comfortable cruise out

of Comox Marina for sight-seeing and fish-ing the Comox Valley and Vancouver Island

waters. Comox Harbour

Charters is Transport Canada certified.

Contact Danny Clair by phone at 250-339-5326 or 250-218-9146, by e-mail at [email protected] or check out the

website at comoxhar-bourcharters.com for more information or bookings.

Thank goodness a boy miss-ing from a Courtenay home was found safely. The response on social media was overwhelming

— and touching.

Some options for busking

Counting on the CVRD

Thank goodness a boy miss-

This week: Twenty-six per cent of respondents so far say they are generally in favour of a wooden bridge across the Courtenay River. There are two schools of thought about the no-vehicle proposal. Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll on the mainpage.

Record Question of the Week

Dear editor,I am writing about the new

busker bylaw. I think it would be a simpler way to do the follow-ing:

First, make three signs. There would be a silhouette of a guitar player on all three signs.

1. The red circle with a line through the silhouette says no busking.

2. The silhouette in the green circle says busking permitted.

3. Finally, the silhouette is framed by a narrow green line with the words Apply Within below the silhouette.

This sign gives all control to the business owner.

Make the digital files for these signs available on your website. This way, businesses have full control over who if any buskers works for them. They can down-load and print out the sign they

need.As far as registering with a

fee of $25 and then dictated to where we work just isn’t fair.

I personally have worked dili-gently to earn my spot on Fifth Street. I can’t pay $25 (that is three days busking) and I know some excellent musicians who only come out a few times a year. They would be silenced.

I hope you will to remove that fee. I know I can’t afford it. Not having the busking money means my diet is going to be less healthy. That is how important it is — after all I haven’t done any thing wrong.

Why not have a signup sheet at City hall and each entertainer gets a number which must be displayed where the artist is per-forming?

Is the fee really that impor-tant? These are costs that have

to be covered by people, most of whom are living below the pov-erty line or much lower.

There seems too be a desire to keep out performers from other towns and cities.

In the world of art we feed on communication, new relations, new sounds and we grow because of it. It is not bad to have visiting artists; it is enlightening.

I also think buskers are get-ting unfairly attacked for “noise” when there are monster trucks, motorcycles, cars with massive music boxes vibrating the street, people talking, babies crying, and mumbling loudspeakers desper-ately trying to reproduce music.

In fact, Fifth Street is a bus-tling mass of sights, sounds and smells. How can people pick out the lowly busker from all that?

Keith Thomson,Courtenay

You get the feeling that the longer the Comox Valley Regional District does not reject a develop-ment near Stotan Falls it’s more likely approval will be granted.

True, there are a multitude of hoops — bylaws, official community plans, regional growth strate-gies, rezoning, development cost charges — for developers to leap through.

In the end, though, local governments seem to find it difficult to say no to a proposal that will create local employment, not to mention more tax revenue.

The CVRD’s tone has shifted in the past few months from, “Sorry, 3L Developments, but your proposal is not in synch with the Regional Growth Strategy at this time.”

CVRD chair Edwin Grieve does stand by his opinion that constructing a riverfront community at the confluence of the Puntledge and Browns riv-ers is in the wrong location at this time.

The RGS, adopted two years ago, says 90 per cent of growth in the Comox Valley is to be direct-ed to core settlement areas.

CVRD directors Roger Kishi and Jon Ambler support Grieve on this issue, noting the RGS was hammered out with great effort just two years ago.

Director Bill Anglin seems open to the idea of already amending it for this project that is clearly not in one of the development nodes identified in the RGS.

Fellow director Starr Winchester “would like to hear what the public has to say.”

Some people don’t care about RGS complexities and want only to keep dipping in the Puntledge at Stotan Falls when the mercury climbs. Others have publicly stated opposition to a small commu-nity where countryside currently exists.

“The people of the Valley want this to happen,” land owner and 3L owner Dave Dutcyvich said recently. Those people include the United Steel-workers.

Well, yes, but local government officials should take those factors into consideration with many other ones.

We count on them to make decisions not moti-vated by self-interest. [email protected]

Shame on City hall, councilDear editor,The City of Courtenay and

City council should be truly embarrassed by their recent actions to attempt to evict 56 vulnerable people from Maple Pool.

It finally took a Supreme Court judge to intervene, and not only scold the City, but finally provide the leadership, compas-sion and understanding that has, up to now, been sorely lacking by our own local government.

Given the recent arrogant and cavalier comments regarding their free-spending habits displayed by certain council members, it wouldn’t be surprising to find that they are the driving force behind these actions to make these people homeless.

It is sad to see that we have only one council member, our Mayor Jangula, who has stood by

his belief that a solution needed to be found to keep these vulner-able members of our commu-nity in their homes and off the streets.

Thank you, Mayor Jangula. For the rest of council, shame on you.

Boyd Lundquist,Courtenay

Entrapment just wrongDear editor,There is a lot of disturbing

information circulating in the Comox Valley media concerning the recent closure of the Courte-nay Legion for non-compliance of the membership conditions of their liquor licence.

The information we are hear-ing sounds like entrapment. While perhaps condoning police stings to catch criminals in certain instances, we do not con-sider it appropriate for civil ser-vants to use such tactics against service clubs.

Due to an aging and hospital-ized and dying membership, the clubs are finding it hard enough to survive.

As taxpayers, we think it makes more sense to enable these organizations to continue operations and keep providing needed funds to the community and the Provincial coffers.

Doug and Lin OliverCourtenay

Editor’s note: Doug and Lin Oliver say they are proud Royal Canadian Legion Branch 17 members.

It’s a shame the Kiwanis Club of Comox had to cancel this year’s Soapbox Derby. The derby had to be cancelled due to construction and road repair work.

Smart meter options not fair opting out at allDear editor,When is an opt out not an opt

out?When what one is trying to opt

out of is inescapably omnipres-ent.

Where doesn’t the all-encompassing grid reach? Not for nothing does the industry uses the term “full penetration” while ignoring frequency laws.

Any two frequencies which intersect create a third, new frequency. That’s an immeasur-able frequency equation, which ignores limits of all safety codes.

Safety codes are based on measurement of a single source of transmission. The smart grid by definition has no single source

of transmission.How exactly is an “opt out” for

some random meter nodes not simply fewer drops in an invis-ible sea of exponential microwave radiation?

Smart grid legislation (PAO and BCCEA) waives and over-rides rights afforded by the BC Land Title Act and permits the power authority to amalgam-ate private property and house wiring into the grid. Other leg-islation exempts Hydro from all liability.

What exempts property own-ers and occupants from Hydro’s wireless hazards?

Installed under live load by non-professionals, meter nodes

on private properties are ren-dered uninsurable, sans UL or CSA approval, non-compliant with electrical and building codes.

The grid is comprised of bil-lions of smart nodes. The stated goal is ultimately to install more nodes than the number of humans on the planet.

Grid node ranges intentionally overlap. Each node covers from several square miles to hun-dreds of square miles, creating countless overlapping concentric microwave circles exponen-tially compounding one another while disregarding over layered cell, Wi-Fi and (soon) tetra sys-tems.

Expert witnesses for For-tis admitted under cross-exam-ination that grid radiation fills airspace and extends three feet into the ground for 17,000 square miles of “their” territory, pen-etrating deeper still into water bodies.

Every smart meter node can frequency graph and data mine any RFID chip in any house-hold for miles. Where’s any pri-vacy opt out?

Wireless frequencies fol-low transmission lines and couple indiscriminately to all bio-electrical and electrical systems and all water and metal includ-ing household wiring not equipped with a “smart” meter.

All homes are “covered” wheth-er the usage meter for any opt out household is “smart” or not. 1.8 million+ overlapping, frequency emitting energized nodes surrounding random unenergized nodes is a meaning-less offer, particularly once com-pounded by smart gas and water meters.

With respect, exactly how does anyone or anything living on the planet “opt out” of an intentional-ly seamless ubiquitous radiation blanket able to penetrate and electrically induce everything biological living in air, water and earth?

Care Leah,Hornby Island

No spending on likely projectDear editor,I am intrigued with

Jon Ambler’s musings of late — I believe they are giving me clearer insight into this civic representa-tive.

Yes, I voted for him with the little knowledge I had of him, thinking he would represent my views in governing our jurisdiction. Recent hap-penings have me now scratching my head about my decision to think Jon Ambler is somehow representing my views/opinions.

It is not just Mr. Ambler who supports the most recent topical issues that have been show-cased in the local media (e.g. dedicating staff to the wooden bridge project and the need to make a motion to maximize Council participation in local government confer-ences).

Council generally has

supported his motions.Whether he likes it

or not, he has become the face of encourag-ing the expenditure of hard-earned tax dollars on what is many of our taxpayers’ opinion as being out of step with the times.

I feel I need to express my concern to Mr. Ambler and council-lors who have support-ed his recent motions that given our current economic environ-ment and priorities that I cannot agree that dedi-cating staff (ergo time and money) to an unlike-ly project (i.e. wooden bridge) and trumpeting

the intent to encourage councillors to attend any and all local government conferences are prudent decisions at this time.

I believe most taxpay-ers in the Courtenay would agree that having a novel struc-ture such as a wooden bridge (by the way, all the wood you would need for the con-struction of this bridge is lying on the Lerwick Park forest floor due to win-

ter storms) strategically placed on our river would indeed be an enhance-ment.

However, not at this time and perhaps even if it were ever to come

about that it be an initia-tive (with the wooden material provided by the city’s own parks) of inter-ested parties.

I object to any tax dol-lars being spent on this project at this time. In terms of the notion of encouraging local gov-ernment conferences, what is the need to put that in the form of a motion? This move gives taxpayers the percep-tion that Mr. Ambler is a spendthrift with little to no regard for these hard-earned tax dollars.

I do not dispute that our council should send representatives to select-ed conferences; however, this motion provides no more impetus to council-lors to attend these con-ferences than they had prior to the motion — looks from a distance like a bit of grandstanding.

Larry Wenezenki,Courtenay

Accountability vital in lean timesDear editor,Re: Councillors uniting

to authorize mass atten-dance at convention.

This is disgraceful. Shame on our city coun-cillors who are acting like spoiled, entitled brats.

Remember, you serve at the pleasure of the tax-

payers, people like me — and many others who are appalled at the greedy, brazen sense of entitle-ment you think you have.

This is a boondoggle, and unnecessary, waste of money.

Everyone knows that the real business at these

conferences gets done in the back rooms by the executive and everyone else is there to pass their flimsy motions and get down to the fun and games.

I know — I’ve been to many such conferences.

Mayor Larry Jangula

is right. Take turns, two at a time, once a year each, and report back to council what you attend-ed and what you learned.

In lean fiscal times, “accountability” is the key word.

Larry Wenezenki

Is closure wise on Dunsmuir?

Dear editor,Let me get this straight.First I read in the

Comox Valley Record (June 13), that a section of Dun-smuir Avenue between the Waverley Hotel and the Ilo-Ilo Theatre will be closed off for a Waverley private party.

This closure of our main street right beside our fire/first responder hall is to last Aug. 2 from 4 p.m. to Aug. 3 at 2 a.m.

Since there was no men-tion of fee for the 450 tick-ets being issued, I assumed they were for access only. Then I read in the July/August Currently Cumber-land that the tickets will cost $40 per person.

Really? For access to a public thoroughfare?

Then to top it all off, I hear via the Cumberland grapevine that the whole

block between First and Second streets will be closed off.

My mind then goes first, to questions about lack of access through the venue to the people on Camp Road and Comox Lake from one whole block of our main street for 10 hours.

Next, I wonder about the lack of straight and direct access to our vol-unteer fire/first responder site for 10 hours should an accident or fire occur in our town or on the nearby Inland Island Highway.

Lastly, I worry about the precedent that this type of permission gives to every other business in our town.

In view of the aforemen-tioned three points, is this closure wise?

Wayne Morrison,Cumberland

Closure spendingDear editor,Re: Get ready for Hydro

rate hikes (Tom Fletcher, Record, July 10).

Yes, the BC Hydro rate increase tsunami is com-ing after the earthquake of B.C. government debt.

This will hit lower income people — hard. All levels of government are increasing fees and service rates rather than

raise income taxes on those who can contribute more and pay more property tax.

I don’t want to see any drastic action to increase job loss, but governments at all levels need to limit their spending growth to the level of inflation and get borrowing under con-trol. Phil Harrison,

Tickets for the 2013 Comox Armed Forces Day and Air Show are now available at the Canex retail store located at CFB Comox.

In addition to Canex, people can also buy tickets online at www.comoxairshow.ca and at Thrifty Foods.

“The box seating tickets along the air-field’s show line have proven to be very popu-lar,” said Maj. Dwayne Kerr, air show direc-tor. “In order to meet the demand, we will be adding more than 1,000 box seats that will get even more people up close to the action.”

As the number of seats on the ground have been increasing to meet ticket demand, so too has the list of performers and dem-onstrators who will be in the skies above Comox on Aug. 17. Pete MacLeod will perform in his high-perfor-mance Red Bull Edge 540 racing airplane and Dan Buchanan will thrill the audience with his aerobatic hang glider.

Audiences will also be able to witness a Search and Res-cue demonstration put on by the crews of 19 Wing’s own 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron, involving a

Cormorant helicopter, Buffalo airplane and Search and Rescue Technicians parachut-ing into a simulated rescue scenario.

Recently, Comox Air Show organizers were excited by the news that one of the RCAF’s newest airplanes, the C-130 “J” model Hercu-les was expected to join a wide variety of other heavy military aircraft on static display.

To make this air show a reality, it takes the support of organi-zations and businesses in our community such as Sunwest Auto and RV Centre, Thrifty Foods, Royal Lepage, WestJet, the Westerly Hotel and Convention Centre, Holiday Inn Express and Suites, Harbour Air Seaplanes, Re/Max Ocean Pacific Realty, Pacific Coastal Air, the Old House Vil-lage Hotel and Spa, CTV, Comox Valley Record and 97.3 The Eagle.

The Comox Air Show thanks all sponsors and patrons who have contributed to making this event a success.

BC Ferries is pleased to offer an extra round trip sailing to accom-modate traffic return-ing from the Comox Air Show. A revised sailing schedule is in place for Aug. 17 on the Comox-Powell River route at 10:30 p.m.

Visit www.bcfer-r ies.com/bcfservice notice?id=806275 for more information.

For more informa-tion on the 19 Wing Armed Forces Day and Air Show, visit www.comoxairshow.ca or follow it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/comoxairshow.

Users of the Comox Valley Airport between Aug. 16 and 18 are encouraged to check the Comox Valley Air-port website at www.comoxairport.com/ for updates and informa-tion on how and when to get to the airport.
