DESCRIPTION
August 21, 2014 edition of the Comox Valley RecordTRANSCRIPT
Scott Stanfield Record Staff
The City of Courtenay will provide additional children’s programs to assist parents and families in case the teacher work stoppage continues next month.
Staff have developed a contin-gency plan — the Parent Saver Program — to provide activities for children six to 12 years, Mon-day to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Activities include arts, dance,
gymnastics, adventure programs and music.
Weekly program revenue would be $3,750, based on 30 children each at $125 per week. A per day enrolment rate of $40 will also be available.
Expenses would be $1,700 per week — based on two staff mem-bers, supplies and volunteers — and $300 in advertising.
Pub-lic input soughtCouncil directed staff to seek
public input through newspa-per advertising about a proposed brewery lounge endorsement, which will come before council Sept. 8.
The Gladstone Brewing Com-pany is planning to open a micro-brewery at 244 Fourth St. in the downtown core.
If endorsed, patrons will be allowed to drink beer in a lounge area on the manufacturing site.

Fred Bigelow knows firsthand the results of what can happen when a community gets together.
The former base commander of 19 Wing Comox and now the Chief Executive Officer for the Comox Valley Airport recalls the anniversary of both a significant transportation and economic driver in the Comox Valley — the construction of the new F/O.C. Cottingham Terminal.
“I remember (former airport CEO) Chuck Fast walking us through the construction site. Now the beneficiaries of that deci-sion are the staff and citizens of the Comox Valley,” he explained.
Ten years ago, the Comox Val-ley Airport opened its doors to the new terminal and made the tran-sition to a full service, modern facility which now accommodates hundreds of thousands of passen-gers per year.
Wednesday, the airport cele-brated the significant anniversary following the Comox Valley Air-port Commission’s annual public meeting, with displays and dig-
nitaries reflecting on the work it took to get the terminal building to where it is today.
Bigelow credits the determina-tion and vision of board members
— including Fast — to help shape the facility and meet the needs of travellers now and into the future.
“The guys had the vision and
they really put their shoulders into it to make sure the project came out on time and on budget.

Council approved amendments to a dated noise bylaw that need-ed clarity and revision.
Staff deal with about 10 noise-related com-plaints each month. Those who don’t com-ply with verbal and written requests can face a $500 fine.
Police also deal with noise complaints out-side of regular busi-ness hours.
According to a staff report, residents gen-erally feel the city addresses noise con-cerns in an effective and timely manner.
The city does not have sufficient resourc-es to enforce a bylaw containing sound level measurements.
Coun. Jon Ambler, noting the subjective nature of attempt-ing to legislate noise, feels it is too costly to
attempt to measure sound, referring to the idea of consulting with a sound engineer.

From Comox Road to the Courtenay Fish & Game Protective Association and everywhere in between, Brian Randall’s work is a visual legacy for both his fam-ily and residents of the Comox Valley.
Randall, born and raised in the Val-ley, passed away unexpectedly Aug. 2 at the age of 63, but the work of the faller-turned-artist serves as a reminder to his contribution of visual art and design in the area.
“He always said he didn’t think out of the same side of his brain as everyone else,” recalled his sister Debra Chaba. “He was so creative.”
With no formal art training, Randall grew up in the Old Orchard area of Cour-tenay, and honed his craft at an early age, drawing on newspaper roll ends he grabbed from the former Comox District Free Press once they were thrown out.
“We lived near (the newspaper build-ing) and he would draw cartoon charac-ters on the newsprint,” added Chaba.
Described as “an advocate for the out-doors – he was from the Comox Valley and proud of it,” Randall’s love of nature aided him in his formal career working at the Eve River Falling Department for MacMillan Bloedel near Sayward.
After a back injury put a stop to the physically demanding work, Randall rekindled his artistic side and began working with wood, carving animals, fish and signs for both personal and profes-sional use.
“He got his start in 1986 with a carving for Bear Creek Ranch (in Black Creek),” noted Chaba. “It was 1,000 pounds of carved cedar. It was done entirely with hand tools; he never did anything with a chainsaw.”
He designed wood sculptures for a
variety of commercial companies includ-ing the falling company he worked for, with a sign in the shape of a saw intri-cately surrounded with trees.
In the 1980s, Randall began working with metal, looking at the medium as
another challenge to further his art. He created signs for Dove Creek Farm,
residential homes, and even the Town of Comox.
Randall’s work can be seen from Comox Road on the Hamilton Logging sign and the ship’s wheel marking the Battle of the Atlantic memorial near the Comox marina, amongst others.
He created address signs for homes, an intricate side table for Chaba, and customized fence signs with his signa-ture design detail — flowers.
“He loved dogwoods and trilliums. The trillium is a spring flower and the dogwood is the provincial flower of B.C.,” explained Chaba.
She added all of his work was created at his home workshop in Courtenay.
Randall is survived by his two daugh-ters, Kasey and Lara.
A service is scheduled for late-Septem-ber at the Fallen Alders Hall in Royston.

BORN AND RAISED in the Comox Valley, faller-turned-artist Brian Randall (inset) leaves behind a visual legacy throughout the Valley of his work in both woodwork and metal.

Continued from Page A1Input from the Downtown Courtenay Busi-
ness Improvement Association will also be sought.
The company says the DCBIA, future neighbours, the fire department and the Chief Building Inspector support the brewery and lounge proposal.
Mayor Larry Jangula, noting the number of empty buildings, said the proposal “could be a positive thing for downtown” in terms of increased foot traffic.
Suite application jumps a hurdleCouncil approved second reading of a rezon-
ing to allow a secondary suite at a residence at 425 Back Rd. The only concerns expressed thus far are to do with parking. A public hear-ing will be held Sept. 2 at 5 p.m. in council chambers.
Council adopted a park dedication bylaw to transfer a parcel of land containing Garry Oaks at Vanier Secondary to the city.
Council also approved a zoning amendment for a single family development at Crown Isle Boulevard and Ryan Road. The applicant — Silver Sand Corp. — plans to construct 31 lots. The subdivision will include a trail con-necting to the college and new hospital.
Jangula presented with shovelTom Sparrow, chief project officer of the
North Island Hospitals Project, presented Jangula with a symbolic shovel, used at a recent groundbreaking ceremony at the future hospital site next to North Island Col-lege.
Excavation and foundation work has begun on the state-of-the-art regional hospital. Ser-vice is scheduled to commence April 30, 2017.
A new hospital is also being constructed in Campbell River.
Council: Brew pub widely supported
Con’t from Page A1“This is an amazing
facility for an area this size, and we do very well,” he noted.
“It’s a chance to say thanks.”
The original YQQ terminal building was built by the Depart-ment of National Defence and opened in 1956. Transport Can-ada operated the ter-minal until 1995 when it withdrew financial and/or operational involvement in Cana-dian airports.
The Comox Valley Airport Commission (CVAC) was formed in 1996 and in May 1997, CVAC purchased the terminal from Trans-port Canada for $1.
CVAC operates the civil aviation facili-ties at YQQ, includ-ing the terminal and apron, while the air-field and its associated systems are operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force at 19 Wing Comox on a 24-hour basis.
In January 2001, WestJet announced it would begin offer-ing flights at YQQ, and CVAC added tem-porary portables to the original terminal building to accommo-date increased traffic.
“The old facility was just really small. When the bags arrived for the passengers, it was like a feeding frenzy at a shark tank,” said Bigelow, and added the board had the vision to anticipate the growth of WestJet flights in the Valley.
Negotiations with the Department of National Defence for lease of the land took place at the same time a business case was being development for the terminal facility.
In February 2003, 87.5 per cent of taxpay-ers voted in favour of providing a $4 million capital grant to CVAC to help construct the
new terminal. The commission was
able to leverage the grant along with its own investment, and to obtain additional funds from the provincial and federal governments
which made construc-tion of a new facility possible.
Bigelow explained looking ahead, CVAC will be looking to do “modest but significant capital improvements
and create an infra-structure plan.”
He noted with the June announcement of the minimum instru-ment approach adopt-ed by DND to prevent unnecessary cancella-
tions and divisions in poor weather, and a recent announcement by WestJet to increase their service to and from YQQ, “the bottom line is very, very solid.”[email protected]

Record Staff
The Courtenay Fire Department assisted in a single-vehicle rollover motor vehicle accident Monday morning at Headquarters and Rennison roads.
Kurt Macdonald, Courtenay deputy fire chief, told media one person was stuck inside the vehi-cle and firefighters had to stabilize the vehicle in order to extricate the patient.
Macdonald explained firefighters were able to get ropes and chains to provide a stable work-
place and assisted the removal of the driver, who suffered minor neck pain.

Erin HaluschakRecord Staff
A forest fire in the North Island is to blame for a slight haze hanging over the Comox Valley for the past few days, as the Nimpkish River fire grows to more than 170 hectares.
With no rain fore-casted for this week and a mix of sun and clouds until Sunday, the Coastal Fire Centre is reminding people a campfire ban remains in place.
Although the Nimp-kish fire is the only sig-nificant fire currently burning on the Island,
Jessica Poustie, fire information officer for the Coastal Fire Cen-tre in Parksville said soils are far too dry to lift the ban.
“There are some scattered showers in the forecast (for the North Island), but the North Island still remains very dry.”
Poustie explained crews dropped retar-dant last week, but “the fire has grown quite a bit in size” and the terrain is too steep for crews to get to the centre of the fire.
She added there have been smoke reports as far north as Port McNeill, and
encourages residents to visit www.bcairqual-ity.ca for up-to-date air quality readings for the area.
Wednesday, the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) for the Comox
Valley was set at 1, or a low health risk, with the maximum AQHI forecast of 2 for Thurs-day.
According to Envi-ronment Canada, the high for today is 21C
with a mix of sun and clouds. The tempera-tures are forecast to rise Friday through Sunday up to 26C with mostly sunny [email protected]

Extrication required at scene of vehicle rollover
As a parent, I know that chil-dren will do
things that they are not supposed to, even after you caution them not to and explain what the conse-quences might be for dis-obeying.
It takes effort and a sense of responsibility to fol-low up and make sure that the rules are fol-lowed. However, after watching some young motorcyclists in Lady-smith the other day I began to wonder how often out of sight, out of mind was the way some parents operate.
We are very for-tunate that we can buy, or even that our children can afford to own, a motorcycle or ATV. Even more fortunate are those children whose par-ents care enough to participate in the use of these machines and ensure that they are used properly and law-fully. If your property is not large enough, then the machines and their riders need to be legally transported to a place that is.
Given the number of times that I have seen incidents like this over the years, it is clear that some parents simply turn their chil-dren loose to ride as they choose and don’t consider the conse-quences. We may think about them getting
hurt, or perhaps being fined for improper use, but the possibili-ties don’t end there. If these riders were to cause a collision on the
highway they are not insured and the victims or the courts may
expect the parents to pay.
The next time your child sets out on their motorcycle or other ATV you need to know where they are going and how they are going to get there. It doesn’t take much thought to know if they can accomplish the trip without riding on or across a highway. If they cannot manage this, it is up to you to make sure that you get them to an appro-priate setting to use the machine safely.
Seat belts save infoPart of the investi-
gation of any serious
motor vehicle collision is an examination of the seatbelts to deter-mine if the person in that seating position was restrained or not. The outcome could determine whether a ticket for failing to wear the restraint was issued or not but I sus-pect that more com-monly the information was used to determine liability. If you were not wearing your seatbelt your award for injury could be reduced by the courts.
The simplest method involved fully extending the belt. Many manufactur-ers sew a label at the retractor end of the belt that is exposed if the belt is subjected to sufficient force. You may wish to try this
if you are consider-ing the purchase of a used vehicle because it could indicate that the vehicle was involved in a significant collision sometime in its life.
Reading the infor-mation in the vehicle’s “black box” will show the status of the driv-er’s belt switch. While this may mean that the belt was fastened and then just placed behind the driver, damage (or lack of it) to the interior of the vehicle could be used to corroborate or dis-prove it.
Characteristic damage occurs to the belt and fittings when an occupant is restrained in a crash caused by the tremen-dous forces involved. Frayed edges, melted
plastic smears, D ring impressions and belt fabric impressions are frequently found. The pawl that stops the retractor reel will dent the metal teeth it sits against.
Finally, the inves-
tigator can look to medical personnel for evidence. A properly worn seatbelt causes specific injury to the wearer. Thankfully this injury is much less significant than what would occur if
the seatbelt was not used.

Parking lot H&ROn Aug. 12 police responded to
a report of a hit-and-run collision in a parking lot on Grant Avenue in Courtenay.
The owner reported leaving the vehicle in the morning and upon returning after work found that a vehicle had collided with hers causing about $3,000 damage to the front quarter panel and fender. The vehicle is believed to be a large pickup truck.

Proceeds from a fundraising car wash Saturday, Aug. 30 at Finneron Hyundai will help send a member of Maple Pool United to the Homeless World Cup of Soccer in Chile.
Christine Watson of Courtenay has been selected to play for the Canadian women’s team at this year’s tournament in Santiago. Money raised at the car wash — which is by donation from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. — will help pay for her trip in October.
“I am so excited to be repre-senting the Comox Valley, Can-ada, and all my teammates and
friends at Maple Pool,” said Wat-son, 41.
Operating at the Maple Pool Campground, the local street soc-cer program enables homeless and marginalized individuals to exercise, socialize and compete in a fun environment. The sport involves four-person teams that play on a field about 22 metres long with hockey-size nets. The program is an initiative of the Dawn to Dawn Action on Home-lessness Society.
Officials from Street Soccer Canada named Watson to the women’s squad following the Western Canadian qualifier in North Vancouver in May. Presi-dent Paul Gregory said she was
selected for her determination, discipline and tenacious defence.
“Christine has committed her-self to soccer with Maple Pool United,” said coach/co-ordinator Grant Shilling, a Dawn to Dawn outreach worker. “She plays with a fierce tenacity. It characterizes the spirit of someone who has survived a horrific dog attack, numerous surgeries and terri-ble trauma — and still loves dogs and life.”
After being attacked by a pit bull in 1999, Watson underwent eight reconstructive surgeries to repair the muscle in her cheek and around her mouth. She still suffers migraines, which is part of the reason she can’t work full-
time. She receives disability assis-tance, supplementing her income with a paper route. She has been on a methadose recovery program for about eight years.
This is the third consecutive year that a player from Maple Pool United has been selected for the world street soccer champion-ships. Joan Mathias played at the 2012 tournament in Mexico, and Heath Young was selected for last year’s event in Poland.
“Maple Pool United is develop-ing into a hotbed of street soc-cer talent,” Gregory said. “There must be something in the water there. Full marks to Grant Shil-ling for developing this program.”
The Homeless World Cup is
a network of 70 international organizations that use soccer to improve the lives of homeless and marginalized people. The 12th annual tournament runs from Oct. 19 to 26 at Plaza de Armas in central Santiago. The defending men’s champion is Brazil while Mexico won the women’s tourna-ment in 2013.
Those wishing to support Wat-son for travel costs can donate through dawntodawn.org or mail cheques to:

Glacier Heritage Power & Equipment Club is proud to be cel-ebrating its 23rd anni-versary of participation in the Comox Valley Exhibition since its founding on the exhibi-tion grounds in 1991.
The Glacier Heritage Power & Equipment Club’s objective has been to preserve and restore antique equip-ment, and to promote our equipment through exhibitions and demon-strations that show the pioneer way of living.
Demonstrations and displays have includ-ed grain threshing, grain grinding, tractor parades, many types of engines, old tools, an old fashioned home, a garage, and a black-smith shop.
Our engine dem-onstrations and dis-plays include flywheel engines that were once used for power before the days of electricity. They generated power for cream separators, water pumps and cre-ated general power for machine shop work. Other engine demos and displays include marine engines, antique outboards, old trucks, and a wide assortment of antique tractors.
Over the past 20 years, our club has also participated in Heritage Days at the Comox Mall, and has displayed equipment
at the Campbell River and Courtenay Muse-ums.
We have partici-pated in the Cumber-land Parade and the Canada Day Parade in Campbell River and Courtenay. We also attend the Black Creek Community Annual Fall Fair.
Our dedicated mem-bers spend countless hours before and dur-ing the Comox Valley Exhibition to put on one of the best antique shows on the island.
At the Comox Val-ley Exhibition, we host grain-threshing dem-onstrations twice a day for each day of the fair. Two separators are
powered by antique tractors. Threshing the oats separates the grain from the straw. An antique baler bales the straw that is then sold for cattle bedding, etc.
Grain grinding is another demonstration held daily. The result-ing freshly ground whole grain flour is a popular item to buy at the fair. The activities of a pioneer family include dem-onstrations of early washing machines and butter churn-ing. Antique trac-tor parades are a big crowd pleaser and are held during the after-noons.
The Glacier Heri-tage Power & Equip-ment Club offers free hay wagon rides, to shuttle fairgoers throughout the entire fairgrounds. The rides operate a half day Friday and all day Saturday and Sun-day. Wagon rides are very popular and are constantly in demand for the three-day event.
Anyone interested in antique machinery and preserving the past is welcome to join. Interest can be of any type – farm machinery, tractors, bulldozers, marine engines, lawn mowers – anything with internal or exter-nal combustion.
See us at the Comox Valley Exhibition on Headquarters Rd. in Courtenay. The fair runs Aug. 22-24.

Wildlife triggers a variety of emotions from
awe and compassion to fear or fascination but certainly respect!
We are approach-ing the time of year when certain wildlife species are most likely to be spotted; cougars are one, black bears and wolves are other potentially aggressive mammals. Cougars, also known as moun-tain lions or pumas, are solitary, elusive and mysterious crea-tures that are often the subject of irra-tional fears that can result in them being unnecessarily shot.
Cougars are Can-ada’s largest cat and have sleek muscular bodies and long tails which represent one third of their body length. Adult male cougars can weigh between 140-200 pounds, females range between 90-120 pounds; the largest animals are found in the interior parts of our province. A male cougar needs a large territory often claim-ing 175 acres as his domain which he will mark with his scent; females tend to remain in areas close to their dens.
The cougar’s habitat includes open areas with nearby rocky outcrops and brushy treed areas where they can hide and stalk their prey. Proficient tree climbers, cougars can jump 20 feet up into a tree from a sta-tionary position, they are also able to jump down to the ground from a 60-foot perch in a tree. Cougars will use trees as vantage points to locate prey or to rest undisturbed. Although cougars pre-fer to hunt at dawn and dusk, they can be seen roaming around at any time of the day and in any season. During late spring and early summer, conflicts with humans are more likely as the one-to-two-year-old animals become independent and begin searching for a place to establish their own territory.
Often, cougars will leave visible tracks unless the ground is too dry. Like all cats, their claws are retract-able and will not show in their footprints (dogs and bears leave clawprints). Cougars are definitely unpre-dictable, and it is not sure what will trig-ger an attack from this animal. They do
seem to be attracted to small children. Their small size, high-pitched voices and erratic move-ment might convince the big cat they are prey. Increas-ing deer populations are being squeezed into a decreasing habitat due to urban expansion, which in turn is attracting cou-gars into populated areas. Although deer are their main prey they will also eat rab-bits, beavers, raccoons and occasionally sheep or other young farm animals.
Each year we
remind the public of how to behave if you encounter a cou-gar, and we are fast
approach-ing the time when sightings are more frequent; there was a
recent sighting near the Comox air base. This is due to the available food for them with young mammals straying further from their parents’ protec-tion. The following safety precautions are suggested by Environ-ment Canada:
• Do not walk alone in areas where cougars have been sighted.
• Supervise your
children when playing outdoors and inform them what they should do if they encounter a cougar.
• Do not feed deer, raccoons or other prey that may attract a cougar.
• Keep dogs on a leash if walking on trails, and cats inside at night.
What to do if you encounter a cougar: Do not approach the animal and always give it an escape route. Pick up children, back away slowly, and never run or turn your back on the animal: face the cougar. Shout but do not make eye contact; make yourself look larger. People do sur-vive attacks by fight-ing back.
If you are in the mountains hiking always be aware as cougars are silent, stealthy predators. Always carry a stick and make noise as you walk along the trails. If a cougar shows
aggressive behaviour contact the Conser-vation Service to report the incident at 1-877-952-7277. Enjoy the outdoors for the remainder of the sum-mer and “Be Aware” of wildlife. To report
injured wildlife call M.A.R.S. at 250-337-2021.

By Suzanne VenutaSpecial to The Record
As the summer months fly by, we start to notice that the nights are becoming shorter, mornings are cooler and shadows are getting longer.
Things start to shift and all too soon the summer that will be, becomes the summer that was. Many of us start to set our eyes on new goals and direc-tions.
For some, this means sending our children off to high school and post-secondary educa-tion.
This can be an excit-ing time in their lives with dreams and goals. A time of exploring and belief that all things are possible. It may also be a time of trepi-dations.
And for some, it will be a time of encoun-tering mental health issues for the first time in their life.
When they were younger, we taught them about road safety, strangers, and to wear a helmet while riding their bikes.
As we buy them supplies, clothes and assorted various other items to put in their care packages, we need to add one more thing along with our love.
We need to send them off with the cor-rect information on mental health.
According to the Mental Health Com-mission of Canada, “One in four youth will experience a men-tal health issue. The great majority of men-
tal health issues occurs during adolescence and 70 per cent of young adults living with a mental illness report having symptoms before age 18. Youth 18-24 are most likely to suffer from mood disor-ders, substance abuse and more likely to com-mit suicide.”
But there is good news. There is help and the earlier the inter-vention, the better the outcome.
For the last two years I have been edu-cating and advocating to various youth groups about mental health. They are bright, intel-ligent and articulate. They are our future, and some of them are struggling. After each presentation there are always some students that come up and talk
to me of their struggles and fears around the mental health of them-selves, a friend or fam-ily member. For some, this is the first time they have ever spoken about it.
Sure it may be scary to talk to our children about mental health issues. But by creating an open and respectful dialogue we give them another very impor-tant tool to help and support them for the rest of their lives.
With the right infor-mation and under-standing we can help them reach their dreams and work towards making all things possible. Like wearing the bicycle helmet, it does not mean they will fall off their bike and bang their head, but it is
there to protect them if they do.
Having a mental illness is not a char-acter flaw, and with the correct diagnoses and treatment one can have a very fulfilling life. I am proof of that.
Undiagnosed mental issues cost the indi-vidual and society at large. We all pay the price.
Let’s educate this up-and-coming genera-tion so that they don’t have to pay the price. If we don’t, some will pay with their life.

It’s that time again – summer holidays – and for Carly and
myself that means a pilgrimage to Toronto.
Yes, this week’s column on caregivers taking holidays is a bit of a “re-run” from last summer. In my defence, I would argue some information is worth repeating annu-ally!
The timing for this column couldn’t be better. We have several clients with hands-on caregivers helping them stay independent in their homes. The caregivers are want-ing to take a few weekends away or in one case a three week trip out of the coun-try. There is a great deal of stress for both the caregivers and the
aging parents. There are legitimate
concerns and worries such as, “Who will look after my Dad overnight?”; “It’s going to cost money”; “My Mom has dementia and doesn’t want any-one else to care for her but me.”
Taking a break is really important for caregivers. Without enough time away from caregiving duties, feelings of resentment and burnout may pres-ent themselves more readily. Being able to trust someone else to take care of a loved one or gaining clearer insight to the situation
at hand and reconnect-ing with yourself and your family are just a few ways caregiv-ers can benefit from a holiday.
Here are some tips to make going on vacation a little easier:
Clone yourself: OK, maybe not liter-ally but
do find a replacement caregiver or a network of support. It might be family or friends or you may decide to hire someone. It all depends on how much help and care your loved one needs as well as the length of time away and finan-cial resources avail-
able.Schedule time for
the caregiver to meet your aging loved one prior to leaving. This provides an opportu-nity to increase com-fort levels about you leaving and gives the caregiver additional comfort with the daily or weekly routine.
Checklists: It’s bet-ter to be over-prepared than under-prepared! Having detailed instructions for the caregiver will help ease your mind while you are away. Ask your aging loved one to help you with it.
Financial matters: Make sure all bills are pre-paid and that cash can be accessed easily to meet expenses or emergency expendi-tures.
Emergency con-tact: Keep a list of emergency telephone numbers and places of where you are stay-ing with the caregiver and another trusted source. It’s not a bad idea to call your aging loved one’s doctor, case manager or if they are in care the head nurse prior to leaving and let them know you will be travelling and how they can reach you in an emergency.
Emergency plan: Talking about what needs to be done in a medical emergency such as a stroke or broken hip is impor-tant. A signed health care proxy or repre-sentation agreement should be in place and its whereabouts
known.Start early: Yes,
that seems obvious! However, trips can sneak up on us quick-ly. We suggest to fami-lies to give themselves a couple of months to plan for respite or to organize care, espe-cially for the first time through.
Don’t spend every
day feeling guilty about being away! Enjoy yourself know-ing that your loved one is in good hands.
And with that, I bid you adieu!Wendy Johnstone is a gerontolo-
gist and is the founder of Key-stone Eldercare Solutions. Her

At noon on Sunday, Aug. 24 the Youth and Eco-logical Restoration Program (YER) will host the third and final 2014 youth led public tour at Bear Creek Nature Park.
This is a YER, Phase II project funded by Ministry of Children and Family Development and Comox Valley Regional District grant-in-aid funds.
Bear Creek Nature Park has been a CVRD-managed public park since 2010. The 161-acre park was a combined donation and purchase from the previous owner and is certified as an eco-logical gift with Environment Canada, Ecological Gifts Program.
CVRD and Ducks Unlimited Canada are joint-ly required to maintain and protect the park’s significant ecological values, and to promote pub-lic awareness.
Since 1983, the Oyster River Enhancement Society has been conserving wild Pacific salmon stocks and their habitat in the Oyster River watershed.
ORES has a fish hatchery operation on the lower floodplain of the park, which includes a side channel network for salmon spawning and juvenile rearing habitat.
About 30 volunteers meet on Tuesday morn-ings to contribute to salmon enhancement in the river.
YER provides work experience, training and support for youth through restoring local water-sheds with community members. Most YER, Phase I participants are involved with ORES conservation work.
This YERII project will involve two youth in completing an ecological inventory in Channel #1 and conclude with them leading the tour.
Please join us at Bear Creek Nature Park on Sunday at noon. Follow the Old Island Highway north, go left on Hamm Road, then right on MacAuley Road to the park entrance on the right and drive to the upper parking area.

New at the Comox Valley Exhibition this year is Dock Dogs.
Dock Dogs is an aquatic canine compe-tition to see which pup can fly the furthest off a dock to retrieve an item.
Best of all, you can enter your dog.
Does Fido like to swim? Does he par-ticularly like to get a running start to his swims? He might be the star of the show.
Onsite registration for the event is Friday at 11:30 a.m., Saturday at 9 and Sunday at 9.
Shows start approxi-mately one hour later all three days.
There are Big Air Wave heats all three days, with the finals in the pro, semi-pro and amateur divi-sions Sunday at 3:15 p.m. There will be an Extreme Vertical comp Saturday (4 p.m., after the Big Air heats) and a Speed Retrieve com-petition Sunday at 2 p.m., between the Big Air heats and finals.
For more informa-tion on this form of canine competition, visit the website at dockdogs.com.
What could be more entertaining than dogs throwing themselves off docks and into the water to retrieve things? Not much.

Roderick Lane grew up on his father’s land, what is now home to Forbidden Fruit Farm. “When I returned to the Valley I was pretty clear that I wanted to start a farm. I really believe that farming, some form of agricul-ture, is where we have to move to.”
Forbidden Fruit Farm is primarily a fruit and nut orchard. Roderick is differen-tiating the farm from others in the region by producing a line of plant-based fertilizers.
The fertilizers came from necessity. The farm needed soil improvement, and there is no easy way to do that organically. “I spent years import-ing fertilizer - bring-ing things like seaweed and fish onto the farm.” This wasn’t working to his satisfaction, and he turned to an old
method: using on-site ingredients to create plant-based fertilizers.
Live-culture fermen-tations “feed the soil at the microbial layer,”
he explains. “We don’t have to import granules or chemicals. We can

RODERICK LANE owns Forbidden Fruit Farm. PHOTO BY HANS PETER MEYER
Forbidden Fruit can be found at the marketbuild the soils right on site, from plants grown here.” Forbidden Fruit produces five types of tea, each addressing a different part of the plant growth cycle, and some designed to help resist insects and dis-ease. The comfrey, for example, is especially good for tomato pro-duction.
How important is the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market?
“It takes time to build up your soils, build up your seed stocks, build up your crops,” Rod-erick says. The mar-ket has enabled him to get started without having to buy heavy equipment or go into debt. “It’s an incubator
to help farmers get up and going. You can be a small producer and still survive. It’s very, very important.”

Angelina’s Park & Go Gourmet, a staple at local farmers’ markets, including the Comox By the Sea Third Thursday Market, has a wide selection of jel-lies, jams and spreads. The Comox By The Sea Third Thursday Market goes today on Comox Ave. from 4-7 p.m.

Beginning January 16, 2015, a Q400 will depart Comox for Cal-gary daily at 6:00 a.m.
This new service ensures a minimum of three daily non-stop departures from Comox to Calgary at any time of the year.
“We have been lob-bying WestJet to pro-vide us with a daily early-morning flight and we really saw an opportunity to make this happen with the introduction of the Q400s,” explained Comox Valley Airport CEO, Fred Bigelow.
The additional flight accounts for a substan-tial increase in avail-able seats to Calgary, from Comox.
“We are going to have an additional 552 seats per week, start-ing in January” said Christianne Wile, mar-keting and communi-cations manger for the Conox Valley Airport.

Mark your calendar for next Sunday’s concert at The Gardens on Anderton, when the salsa, Cuban and Latin group Luzna presents its exciting show with a new lineup, between 2-4 p.m.
This is a special event to which danc-ers and diners as well as lovers of Latin music (those folk who wish to bring their dancing shoes, picnics and blankets) are invited.
After Armi Grano’s wonderful jazz vocal concert a week-and-a-half ago, there’s still one more outdoor event remaining in the 2014 Summer Music Season, jointly hosted by the Georgia Straight Jazz Society and The Anderton Therapeutic Garden Society.
Luzna, now a sextet, includes Oscar Robles Diaz (from Mexico) on vocals and conga; Britt Bowman on the fret-less bass; Jim (Juancito) Papp on vocals, timbales and bongo; Kelly Thomas on keyboard; Michael (Miguelito) Johnson on trumpet, trombone, guitar, Cuban tres and vocals, and Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn and clave.
The band’s repertoire includes Mexi-can and Cuban boleros, as well as cha-cha, Latin jazz and salsa, although the main musical focus is Cuban-style son - a style that originated in Cuba and in the 1930s gained worldwide popularity. Luzna’s main influences include Miguel Matamoros, Omara Portuondo, Ibrahim Ferrer, Celia Cruz and Poncho Sanchez.
Luzna (the name is a combination of two Spanish words, luz and luna) was conceived in the Comox Valley in 2008 as an acoustic Latin trio. After a short time, Luzna grew exponentially in members, as well as followers, and quickly became known as Luzna Latin-soul Orchestra.
The band has shared the stage with Victoria’s Son de Cuba band, as well as internationally-acclaimed percussionist from Mexico, Candido Hernandez, and participated in festivals such as the first-ever Comox Valley Latin Caribbean Festival (presented at the late Cabana de Marcos), Tofino’s Pacific Rim Whale Festival, Campbell River’s Latin Festival and Cumberland’s Big Time Out. Band members have performed in Taiwan as part of Keelung City’s Ghost Festival celebrations, and in a variety of festivals
in the Mexican Republic.This is your opportunity to meet
friends, sit back with a picnic and your favourite exotic drink, and enjoy great live music in a wonderful garden setting, and to tour the gardens before or after the show.
Refreshments will be on sale at the venue.
For the sun-shy, shade will be pro-
vided by large marquis. Ample parking will be available. Look
for the Music Today sign on the roadside, and people offering parking assistance when you pull into the parking area at Anderton Nursery at 2012 Anderton Rd.
Gates open at 1 p.m. and will remain open until 5.
Admission is $10. Children under 14 are free.

A group of art friends who have paint-ed and shared their passion for several years are excited to be hosting their first “Wet Paint” Art Sale in a Saratoga Beach garden, Aug. 23-24.
The nine artists, from Dove Creek, Black Creek, Campbell River and Say-ward, plan to delight the senses with their fresh and marvelous array of paint-ings.
The art of Lee Caflisch, Loree Cun-ningham, Sonia Hauser, Michelle Ohls-son, Elaine Prodor, Lesley Rieck, Kathi Rudko, Karen Martin Sampson and Vic-toria Scott represent a wide range of experience from a few years to more than two decades, and an eclectic mix of sub-jects and styles. Seascapes, landscapes, still life, figurative art and abstracts in a variety of mediums (pastel, oil, water-
colour and acrylic) will be on display at the show.
While the coastal environment can be seen reflected in many of the artists’ works, the style and interpretation of each painter is unique: Sonia’s power-ful animals and florals rendered in a vibrant expressive manner, Loree’s large
and intensely lush still lifes, Elaine’s abstracted close ups of nature with their intricate detail and subtle colours, Lee’s beautifully composed landscapes, Lesley’s enchanting light-filled works, Michelle’s personal take on the beauty of the coast, and the figures, florals and landscapes in several mediums of Karen, Kathi and Victoria.
Several of the artists will have their easels set up and painting ‘en plein air’. They will be happy to discuss their pro-cess, technique and inspiration with the public.
All this visual stimuli will be enhanced by the mellow vibes of Jeff Drummond on guitar and John Hyde on bass from noon to 2 p.m.
The show and sale will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, in Lesley’s Saratoga Beach garden at 8870 Clark-son Drive, Black Creek.

Safety Tip:With summer plans often including more time on the road, make sure you assess your tires before a road trip. Check them regularly for air pressure, tread
depth, and always replace tires with bulges, cuts, or cracks.
Question of the WeekDo you think crossover and sport utility vehicles will ever completely replace the minivan – or mom’s taxi as it is often dubbed?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat Welcome to the driver’s seat
Mom’s taxi now closer to a family limo than a seven-seat vanHow many of today’s NHL stars made those very early morning trips to junior practice in a minivan?Of course, we will never know for sure but you can bet the answer is in the 100s, judging by the tens of thousands of kids, enrolled in hockey, soccer and count-less other activities, who have been transported for the past 30 years in these people movers, pioneered Chrysler.Virtually every auto maker has a version though in recent years, with the ex-plosion of sport utility and crossover vehicles there has been a trend away from the vehicle dubbed ‘mom’s taxi’ in the popular media. At first, that was an affection-ate moniker but of late, it’s come to be a disparaging term for these very efficient family carriers now described as multi-purpose vehicles.No, they’re not leading edge in looks for the most part but surely that’s not why people still buy them in goodly numbers. Minivans are utilitarian but it’s also true to say that today’s iterations are no longer glorified vans with seats. They come close to driving like sedans and the higher end models are a step away
from limo status. The loaded 2014 Grand Caravan SXT version I drove recently certainly could lay claims to be much more than mom’s taxi. Premium cloth seats were inviting and supportive but the rear seating is perhaps the more interesting for those with aforemen-tioned early morning drive duties. The stow’n’go seats are ingenious, turning the Caravan quickly with the flick of a wrist from a seven-seater into . . . . dare I say . . . a van if
desired. Power sliding doors and liftgate complete the convenience package.An area where the Caravan has made giant leaps is right upfront. The one-piece instrument panel is easy on the eye and easy to operate. An optional “super” centre console builds on the functionality, providing a lot of storage.Stepping outside there’s an interesting innovation called the Stow ‘n Place roof rack system, which enables the stowing of the roof bows into the side rails when not in use. There is an obvious cosmetic improvement but that would be a frivolous consideration. The ability
to stow the roof bows a reduction in aerodynamic drag, wind buffeting and thus better overall efficiency.Under the hood is the truly tried and tested Pentastar 3.6-litre V6, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. This power combination pumps out 283 horsepower but still remains frugal when it comes to fuel economy – 12.2/7.9 L/100 kms.Driving in town with such a large vehicle is not so much of challenge as you might expect. The excellent vision provided by large windows helps when parking in those tight supermarket spots. Stop/go traffic on Highway One was not fun and certainly spoiled the fuel
economy promise.That said, once rolling on the freeway, the Caravan hits its stride and return to sipping gas rather than gulping.The basic Caravan is anything but basic in its equipment tally and starts at $27,995. The tester was loaded to the gunwales with every bell and whistle and came in at $43,580. Take out the basic for the test drive then start adding the features you want until you run up against budget wall.‘Mom’s taxi’ is going to be around for a while yet and that’s good news for sports oriented families and maybe even the National Hockey League.

DO THE MATH. ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.
On a muggy, scorching hot summer’s day, what better vehicle than the aptly named Highlander for a high-altitude
scenic drive to nd some cool, crisp mountain air and sink a foot in a glacier?All-new for 2014, Highlander Hybrid is the fuel-ef cient and eco-friendlier version of what Toyota describes as its mid-sized SUV, but it sure looks and feels bigger than most in this class, plus it can seat up to seven (or eight). Wider and longer than last year, this Highlander is also lower and, more importantly from a driving perspective, it has a lower centre of gravity.There was a time when Highlander looked like an SUV, with an angular two-box design. Its styling lines have softened with successive redesigns and now if you put Highlander
beside its Camry-based wagon sibling, the Venza, you need a second look to tell them apart. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but I do like its more car-like driving dynamics.
Geography lessonNot far south of the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a glacier-covered mountain that rises 3,286 m (10,781 ft) above sea level, which is over 900 m (3,000 ft) higher than Whistler, the best-known mountain in B.C. Mount Baker is also regarded as the second most active volcano in the Cas-cade Mountain Range, after Mount St. Helens, but there’s been nary a puff since 1980. The Mount Baker Highway (Hwy. 542) starts in Bellingham (exit #255 off the I-5), winds east through a number of small communities and offers some interesting side tours along the way, before it climbs steeply and ends at Artist Point (1,567 m / 5,140 ft.). This large parking lot, which is about 10 km beyond the ski area, is closed during the winter months and has spectacu-lar panoramic views, plus a selection of great hiking trails. The highway crosses the Nooksack River at Nugent’s Corner and tracks east, alongside the north fork of the river, through old growth areas in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Allow about 1.5 hours of leisurely drive time in each direction. You’ll also need a ($5) day pass to park, which you get from automated dispensers at the Glacier Public Service Centre or at Heather Meadows near the skiing area.
Highlander’s hybrid a larger engineThe Hybrid Synergy Drive system in Highlander uses a 3.5L Atkinson Cycle V6 gas engine, a high torque electric motor-generator and powerful traction battery. It boasts 10 additional horsepower (280 net horsepower) over the gas-only model, yet uses almost 30 per cent less fuel.Although Toyota has done an admirable job of masking it, Highlander Hybrid is a weighty (2,200 kg) vehicle, and has the usual characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It’s more than ne in a straight line and while handling is laudably predictable, it didn’t seem to like being tossed around on the twisty sections of the highway. Then again, that’s the norm in this class of vehicle.
Side Trips: Mount Baker Vineyards and Winery has a tasting room, offers tours, has a picnic area and is open Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. It’s about three km east of the Nugent’s Corner roundabout, where you can also spot the historic Bethany Church (built in 1907) landmark. Nooksack Falls is just a short (and groomed) gravel road off the highway about 11 km (7 ml) east of Glacier, which is the last community along the highway. You do have to scramble over some (slippery when wet) rocks to get to a good (and safe) fenced viewing area. The water takes a spectacular 30 m (100 ft) plunge, so a close-up view is de nitely worth the extra effort. Interesting Eating Places: Anthony’s is an excellent choice
for lunch or dinner in Bellingham. Situated in the harbour area it overlooks the marina and has views of the San Juan Islands. Great service, great fare (especially the seafood), all tables come with a view and the prices are very reasonable, compared to Vancouver. An after-meal stroll around the pic-turesque marina walkway also allows you to ogle hundreds of boats and yachts up close. The North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria, Beer Shrine and Wedding Chapel is an out-of-the-ordinary and rewarding halfway (going or returning) restaurant stop on the Mount Baker Highway that’s known locally as “The Shrine.” Don’t be put off by the long name or its rustic appearance as the food is delicious and there’s an awesome selection of fresh brewed-on-site handcrafted beers.
Last Word A hybrid edition of the Toyota Highlander costs an addi-tional $6,000 to $8,000. Yes, you probably will recover that extra investment in this hybrid while doing your eco-part to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.

Classics of all time - the North American listBy Rob Sass
Automotive designers have been crib-bing from each other since the dawn of the automotive era. Witness the countless European-inspired American cars we’ve seen over the years (like the 1989-97 Ford Thunderbird, a virtual copy of the 1977 BMW 630 CSi). Europe has been known to return the favour on occasion, too, as anyone who has ever seen an Opel GT can attest.
The cars on this list dispense with any of that “hands across the water” nonsense. They couldn’t have come from anywhere else — they’re as proudly North Ameri-can as it gets:1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird: As over-the-top as anything got in the golden age of the American muscle car, the wild, aerodynamic nose cone and 11-storey rear wing were designed to ensure NASCAR domination back in the days when the race cars actually had to
resemble something you could go into a showroom and buy.Jeep CJ-5: Its familiar face is in every “greatest generation” newsreel and our favorite WWII/Korea movies from “Pat-ton” to “M*A*S*H.” Few things say “America” like a Jeep CJ. 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Seville: Not only was the name of this car over-the-top (combining two names that would do just fine on their own), but it marked the high-water point for the tailfin fad
inspired by the WWII Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane. Any ’59 Caddy is a simply stunning work of art from an era of unmatched American optimism.1964 Pontiac GTO: The Goat (which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year) can reasonably lay claim to start-ing the muscle car craze. The idea was to stuff a gigantic 389-ci V-8 into the small-est body possible (the Pontiac Le Mans). And although the name was a direct theft from Ferrari, nothing else about the
GTO could have come from anywhere else but America. Ford F-Series: America invented the pickup truck with the 1925 Ford Model T pickup. And although everyone from Toyota to VW has dabbled in them, the centre of the pickup universe will always be in the U.S.

Cattle sorting’s name says a lot: the activity involves cowboys riding on horseback and sorting cows. Team sorting involves two cowboys.
To start, the cowboys are faced with a herd of 10 calves, with each calf numbered zero to nine. A judge then calls out a number. Say the judge calls out “three.” The riders will then begin sorting the cattle, moving them from one pen to another, beginning with the number three calf and moving on sequentially.
Order is essential, which is why one contestant will focus on isolating the appropriate calf while the other makes sure that the remaining calves don’t move prematurely into the other pen. If a calf gets through to the other pen before its turn, the sorting team is disqualified, though only for that particular round of com-petition. The riders must herd as many calves as possible to the other pen -- in order -- within 60 seconds.
In sorting, a variant of cattle sorting, there are 12 cows, with 10 numbered from zero to nine and two remaining unnumbered.
The unnumbered cows are called dirties. The dirties are sup-posed to remain in the original pen, while the contestants herd the numbered cattle, in order, from one 60-square-foot (5.6-square-
metre) pen to another, channel-ing them through a 12-foot-long (3.6-metre-long) passage.
Ranch sorting can be done with up to three riders on a team and one or two dirties.
The size of the pens and the passage between them may also vary.
People of all ages compete in these sports, even children as young as five years old up to
90-plus, making this event a pop-ular family-oriented activity. Con-sidered to be one of the “funnest family sport on a horse” you will be sure to be sitting on the edge of your seat for these events.
Shows are at the Comox Val-ley Exhibition Grounds — 4835 Headquarters Rd. in Courtenay — Saturday, Aug. 23 and Sunday, Aug. 24 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Scott Stanfield Record Staff
Head coach Joey Ewing faces some tough decisions as the Comox Valley Glacier Kings approach the 2014/15 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season.
He was impressed with the calibre of play at the team’s main camp that ran Aug. 15-17.
“It was a great weekend, one of the best ones I’ve been around,” Ewing said. “We had 15 locals at the camp. We’ll probably sign maybe two or three more out of that camp.”
Earlier this month, the Kings added four new players to the ros-ter: forwards Ty Madden of Pow-ell River and Ethan Sundstrom
of Port Alberni, and defencemen Brendan Grier of Calgary and Keagun Selva, also from Port Alberni.
The team also committed to North Island goalie Riley Mathie-
son and Port Alberni centre David Friel, a nephew of former NHL legend Joe Sakic.
“He’s from a good gene pool,” Ewing said of the 16-year-old Friel. “He’ll be a talented, fast skater, good hands, goal scorer. Young kid,
but he’s going to be good.” Also committing is Therin
Hemstalk, a speedy forward from Sechelt who has an eye for the net.
“He’s five foot six, 140 pounds. Plays more like 6-5, 230. He’s just a really hard worker. Finishes all
his hits. He’ll be a big time energy guy for us. Great with the boys,” Ewing said.
Goalie Blake Pearsen of Sechelt is returning for another year.
“I love my Sechelt boys,” Ewing said. “I had three of them the last two years. Good kids.”
Ewing expects to see two more skaters from south of the border who have been playing prep school hockey in Missouri.
“There’s still some searching to do on that top-end scoring, but our defence is going to be the best in the league,” said Ewing, who will also consider players at Port Alberni’s camp. “We have most of our defence already picked.”
Defender Derian Hamilton has been named team captain for the season.
About 30 skaters will suit up for the Glacier Kings’ training camp Aug. 29-31, from which
Ewing will likely select 23 players.
The team hosts the Oceanside Gener-als and Nanaimo Buccaneers in exhi-bition games Satur-
day, Aug. 30 and Sunday, Aug. 31, respectively,
at the Comox Val-ley Sports Centre. The puck
drops at 1 p.m. for both games. The Yetis launch their regular
season Sept. 5 on the road at Campbell River Storm and play their home opener Sept. 6 against the Kerry Park Islanders.
The team is looking for host families for the upcoming season. Call 250-334-4709 for more infor-mation.

Courtenay Lawn Bowling hosted the Mixed Fours spon-sored by Chad’s Bar and Grill Aug. 16-17.
Local players were good hosts only to a point as the Vern Greenhill team with April Gilchrist, Jackie West and Melie Ursu-lom battled it out with Qualicum’s John Wilson, Jane Neilson, Doug Ives and Liz Pendleton for the hon-ours.
As Hawaaian was the costume theme this year to brighten up the usual white, Cath and Don Wise-man, Jackie West and Melie Ursulom were the prize winners with the other costumed members of both teams receiving mementoes as well. (2015 will have a Mexican theme.)
Greenhill says 2014 has been his best year ever, having won seven of the 14 tournaments he has entered.
But he is not done yet; there are still a
few to go. Greenhill’s teams
have won the Powell River Triples, the Port Alberni Triples and the Parksville Men’s Triples and now the Courtenay Fours, all in the past three weeks. Henri Saucier, Ernie
Kassian and Melie Ursulom were second in Powell River.
On the local scene, Monday intercub has one more session to go and the Courtenay men are leading the way, while the ladies teams are in third
place.Tuesday Mixed
Pairs have Archie and Linda Harris in the lead having won all six games played.
Peter Harding and Carol Nelson have won four and tied one, while the Kassians (Ernie
and Carolyn) and Vern and April have each won four games so far.
There are some games to be “caught up” by other teams, so there is still a possibil-ity of a change in the standings.
Wednesday Mixed
League has Dean Penny leading the way with five wins and Archie Harris threat-ening with four.
Bill Whitehouse is
not to be counted out as he has three wins.
Thursday 242 has Ernie Kassion holding on to a half point lead over Vern Greenhill.

Scoring sockeye a hit-and-miss experienceOne evening last week
I received a phone call from a friend inviting me
to go sockeye fishing off Cape Lazo the next morning.
We would meet at his home at 7 a.m., pick up another friend and go catch a limit of sockeye off Cape Lazo. This optimism was based on his suc-cess of the day when he caught three nice sockeye and one coho in a short space of time. Well, we fished Cape Lazo the next day and came up with a zero of catchable salmon and it appeared that the six boats in our area were having the same type of success.
I reported the success of our day to a friend who wanted to go sockeye fishing. Instead of Cape Lazo he opted to fish out of Browns Bay in Johnstone Strait because a friend had just reported a successful catch of sockeye.
Well, not to be outdone, my friend fished out of Brown’s Bay the next day and outside of having a few pink salmon to the boat they came up with zero for sockeye.
I talked to a friend in Port Hardy who is in the char-ter-boat business and he reported the same trend – plenty one day and virtually none the next day. It is turning out to be pulse-type fishery so far this season, large schools of sockeye one day and very few fish the next day.
When you hit a good day on the water for these delicious salmon you get plenty of action during the bite, which can last for less than an hour to more than a couple. They bite with enthusiasm and usually you get your limit of four fish dur-ing the bite. While Johnstone Strait is the favoured place
for many sockeye anglers you can also do well as the great schools of fish swim through our waters on their way to their natal streams that feed into the mighty Fraser River
system. I have had good success in the past in trolling for sockeye in the waters off Kitty Coleman and Bates Beach. There is a strong indication that the fish travel through our local waters until they reach Cape Lazo
where they head across the Strait of Georgia towards Texa-da Island, where they continue their journey to the mouth of the Fraser River.
For anglers new to fish-ing for sockeye there is some specialized tackle that most anglers use. Red and green flashers are by far the most popular. Small fluorescent pink hoochies with some of the ten-tacles removed work well.
For a novice getting into the sport, talk to the people in sporting goods stores and take their advice on tackle that
works. It is in their interest to help you to be successful so knowledgeable clerks should be listened to.
A couple of tips in decid-ing how fast to troll. In many cases you will be fishing among a large group of like-minded people. Watch for a boat that is successful and try to travel at their speed.
One of the surest ways to make yourself unpopular is to troll long surface lines behind your boat where you will invariably get tangled with other anglers fishing with downriggers and short lines behind the boat.
Most popular depths for fish-ing these migrating fish is usu-ally from 40 to 60 feet below the surface. They tend to move on the ebb tides, but you can also do well in sheltered bays and channels.
Know special regulations that apply to the waters you fish because there always seems to be some closed areas marked by triangle boundary signs that tell you where you can fish. Also be aware that First Nations have special places they can fish that are

closed to recreational fishing. It is your responsibility to know the revaluations.
I may be wrong, but I suggest the major part of the run has yet to arrive so I suggest there is much good sockeye fishing still to be had in local waters.

Point of clarification.
Last week in my column I inferred Doug Field and his father Rex invented two lures together.
In talking to Doug it is clear that Rex invented the Buzz Bomb and Doug invented the Zzinger and went on to invent the Spinnow and Zelda Jigs.
They are all manufactured here in the Comox Valley – true local products.

Puzzling…Fun by the Numbers:
Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each num-ber can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Comox Valley Tour de Rock mem-ber Colleen Henry has been working hard all summer to raise money for the annual ride for cancer research. There’s been a trickle down effect within her family.
Her children, Ash-ton and Brady, are getting involved in the fundraising.
“Both Ashton and Brady are raising money for Tour de Rock,” said Colleen. “Ashton will be shaving his head; their cous-in, Sierra Henry will be cutting her beautiful long hair; Peter Crawford, also a student at Ecole Robb Road is shaving his head and another young lady, Ashlyn Smart will also be cut-
ting her beautiful long hair - the hair cutting and shaving will take place in September.”
These youngsters will contribute to their own fundraising campaign
this Friday, with a barbe-cue starting at 5 p.m. at
Park Drive Park located between Comox Ave. and Beaufort Ave. off of Beach Drive in Comox.
“We will have hot dogs, hamburgers, lemon-ade, iced tea, water and games for the kids,” said
Colleen. “All by donation except the lemonade and iced tea which will be a set price. There will be Tour de Rock riders present, t-shirts and hats for sale. It’s sure to be a great time! bring all of your family and friends!”

AS TO THE question, “Who is re-sponsible for the roads in Cumber-land?” Everyone who lives in Cum-berland, who pays taxes. When the taxpaying citizens will not or cannot pay more in property taxes, coun-cil and staff have to work within the budget. So if you want “better” roads you will have to be prepared to pay for them. If you don’t live in Cumberland and don’t like the side roads, I’d sug-gest you stay on Dunsmuir Avenue. The street has a great paving job! One could look at the “disaster” side roads as an environmental method of reduc-ing speed. Personally I like them, it gives the area “character.”
TO THE PERSON complaining about the Town of Courtenay watering the plants along Cliffe Avenue, I vote for continued watering! The shrubs and owers will die if they aren’t wa-tered. That would be a waste of mon-ey and effort, after all the work people did, planting them. All those owers and shrubs look wonderful and give, what would be just another industrial looking road, a friendly and pleasant environment. Those plants and ow-ers absorb carbon dioxide and act as an air lter. If you are concerned about water consumption, turn off the tap while you brush your teeth, and re-duce the amount of new houses go-ing up in the Comox Valley and start reducing the current population until the infrastructure catches up to the growing population.
BOUQUETS OF SWEET-SMELL-ING asphalt from a Cumberland
taxpayer to Mountain Valley Paving, Jean Cameron and Cresslynn Fey for stepping up to arrange repairs to 3rd St. Seems like the new road surfacing wasn’t quite up to the pressure of the spectacular bike tricks at the recent Cumberland Motorcycle Roundup. Thank you!
TO THE READER WHO SUG-GESTED the city stop watering plants and shrubs along Cliffe Ave. I have seen those plants hand watered by city workers. The city does not retract us from watering in this matter. I know of Rotarians who volunteered to do the planting. What of their efforts? Would they plant next year if they knew the city would let their efforts wither away? Finally, without those colour-ful owers and vibrant shrubs to soft-en and beautify Cliffe Ave we would be left with a dreary stretch of strip malls and concrete. And that’s not the im-pression we want to give visitors, is it?
CONGRATULATIONS TO ROB-ERT Ash & Assoc. for hiring great em-ployees and keeping excellent apart-ment buildings. When we rst moved into our building 14 years ago, it was a depressing place. Then Robert Ash bought the building and transformed it into a place to be proud to call home. We have found the manager to be courteous and professional in all our interactions and responsive to our needs and requests in a timely fash-ion. I wish I had a son just like him.
DOES ANYONE KNOW why the hospital is being built on such a small
piece of land? Common sense would indicate that space will be needed for expansion not to mention parking. How come this project is moving for-ward despite the obvious lack of fore-sight? When something doesn’t make sense and yet it continues full bore ahead, it’s usually a good time to stop and ask yourself who is turning pro t. Why wait for the future and shrug it off as hindsight. It’s not too late. What about the 50 acres on Memorial Park-way? There must be a better, larger lo-cation available. If the project does go forward and there are issues with lack of space who will be held accountable, and how? Will this person cover the expense of another relocation of the hospital?
MANY OF THE stores and shops here seem to shut down early. Retail shops, repair shops, feed stores and most banks. Many restaurants close or close their kitchen at 9 p.m. It seems only big corporate stores stay open later. Even entertainment at the Fil-bert Festival closed early. When I rst moved here I thought the problem was because it got dark early but I see the same thing during the summer. How is a person supposed to work 9 to 5 and get to the entertainment events or shops before 5-5:30? Should you re-ally have to spend every day off doing your shopping and errands? This town becomes pretty dead and boring too early in the evening. Maybe that’s why there are so many people at the bars and nightclubs. Maybe that’s why this Valley’s youth struggle so hard with drug and alcohol problems.

Here’s a look at what our Facebook fol-lowers have had to say on some of the postings on our page: another outlet for you to ‘Have Your Say’.
Would you drink a glass of water from any of the sourc-es contaminated by the Mt. Polley tailing pond breach?
Responses:KELLY-ANNE SAWA – Not in this lifetime! Besides, if the government says it’s safe, let’s see our MLA and Min-ister of Mines, Bill Bennett, slug back a big glass of the water rst!
RUSS MAHY – The same govern-ment that pushes GMO and makes herbalists criminals. No way. Don’t be-lieve a word.
MARGARET HAMILTON – Yes, if it has been tested by the authority and deemed safe for consumption. De ne “contaminated”. How many times have I seen oil slick oating on Comox Lake from all the power boats and the lake is my water source? I understand the water is drawn from deep depth but if there is oil slick. other contaminants will be present too.
COURTENAY LEE PICKFORD – I would. My dad blasted and drilled there. He’s been blasting and drilling for over 25 years and is currently a foreman at Copper Mountain Mine near Princeton. I’ll take my dad’s word. He also says it’s safe.
GLADYS TUCHAK HILLS – The testing is from select areas, not from the silt and sediment which will leach in over time. Liberal scoundrels (say) it’s good to drink but (they) don’t drink it. What’s with that?

What we know about the mine spill
Comparing taxes from 50 years ago doesn’t always work
Our crossword puzzle has returned
This week: It appears most of you don’t trust the government, as 85.7 per cent of you say you wouldn’t not drink a glass of water from any of the sources contaminated by the Mount Polley Mine tailing pond breach. Next week: Have you begun looking at alternate plans for your school-aged children yet? Visit www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and vote in the Poll.
Record Question of the Week
Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that
have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.
As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tri-bune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employ-ees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.
Imperial Metals applied ear-lier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story).
The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout
in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but
the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.
For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britan-nia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic
site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades.
Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and cop-per, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.
On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.
It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happen-ing as mine management found
ways to extend operation, includ-ing an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulver-ized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumu-lation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.
It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engi-neers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequate-ly followed.
TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sen-sational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.
Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propa-ganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.
No such fish has been pro-duced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquat-ic casualty.

A Fraser Institute study was released Tues-day, showing the share of Canadians’ income going towards governments at all
levels has risen from 33.5 per cent in 1961 to 41.8 per cent in 2013.
It’s important to put the study into context.The Fraser Institute is a think tank which
believes in smaller government, and has stead-fastly engaged in many studies over the years to debunk “big government.” Some of those studies have been quite useful, others not so much.
The institute also participates in the worldwide “Tax Freedom Day” event, which marks the day when people begin to work for themselves each year, as opposed to the taxman.
This year, the date in Canada was June 9.All that said, there is no question that some of
the money paid in taxes is not well-spent. While abuses by politicians like Alison Redford
or Mike Duffy get the headlines, there are many programs in government of limited or almost no use.
One B.C. example is the carbon tax rebate to large corporations, paid by school districts and hospitals with tax dollars.
However, as the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (the polar opposite to the Fraser Institute) notes, it’s very difficult to compare 1961 to 2013.
Governments provide medicare now — there was little spending on health care in 1961. That’s where a lot of tax dollars go.
There are also many more government pro-grams that redistribute funds to lower-income Canadians.
Governments certainly have room to cut. A focus on how much taxes we pay as a percentage of income is useful, because taxpayers need to consider whether we get full value for the money we spend each year.

Dear editor:Re: Farm changes a great leap
forward column.Tom Fletcher is confused
about the Ministry of Agri-culture’s consultation, which features a public survey. He mistakenly says it shows that changes in last spring’s ALR bill “have little or nothing to do with exclusions” of farmland from the ALR.
That bill, which made exclu-
sions easier in 90 per cent of the ALR (Zone 2), is now law. It’s no longer a current focus, in con-trast to the survey about ALR regulations, which is open until Aug. 22.
The simple reason the survey doesn’t mention the bill or ALR exclusions is that they’re another matter.
It’s also illogical for Fletcher to imply that those who wanted consultation on the previous
matter would oppose the current consultation. If anything, many want more of it.
To top off confusion with bad taste, Fletcher mocks MLA Lana Popham’s photo and bizarrely ties a survey question to Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward, which cost millions of lives.

Dear editor,So the City is “surprised” at the less than
enthusiastic reception their eleventh hour “peace plan” (designed to save their hides in November) received from Friends of Maple Pool!
I would have been surprised had the Friends responded in any other way. Apparently our “Council of Maple Fools” thinks we voters are the real fools.
They have never taken a constructive step on Maple Pool over the past four years. Now, just as we are about to go into the November elections, they suddenly want to extend an olive branch.
But with no guarantees and many open exit doors for them to escape through after the elec-tion.
The re-zoning process will take until well after the election and may not be approved; there may be a problem with building codes, etc. Nothing is certain, but trust us until after the
election and our behaviour will be totally differ-ent over the next four years from what it has been over the last four!

Courtenay council not listening to constituentsDear editor,In regards to the recent situ-
ation regarding Courtenay city council and the request of Lead Now to speak about concerns regarding the Northern Pipeline.
It has saddened me to watch how the majority of Courtenay city council has been unavailable to the residents of Courtenay when any talk of the pipeline has been brought to them.
I have witnessed council meet-ings at city hall with a much greater attendance of residents
when this issue was brought for-ward, and that to me shows that this is something a lot of people
in Courtenay feel very strongly about. The fact that residents were not even granted the time to express to council concerns of how this pipeline will affect all coastal communities and oil sands workers leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
If city council is there to rep-resent the people of Courtenay, should it not be standard that council take the time to at least
listen before voting something out? The pipeline issue is loaded and many people have very dif-ferent and passionate views about it. This letter is to state my view that I believe if council is to be the voice of Courtenay it should have the grace to listen to Courtenay’s residents. With respect,
Rebecca LennoxCourtenay

Dear editor,Thank you to the committee
that organized the 6th annual Cumberland Motorcycle Round Up.
You did a wonderful job. It was a fun family event.
The motorcycles at the show and shine went from funny to fabulous. Got to hand it to the man who arrived with his vintage side car motorcycle, got his walker out of his side car and off he went. Of course the electric scooter, was there to demonstrate, it to can hold its own.
The vendors and represen-tatives offered a lot of great products and fun. Food was good and the free water was incredible. It was amazing to see six blocks of Cumberland filled with people and motorcy-cles on a hot summer day and everyone enjoying themselves.
Thank you to the mayor of Cumberland, the council, and staff. Without their co-opera-tion the event could not have taken place.
With Cumberland council’s help the businesses in Cumber-land and some in Courtenay
were able to enjoy a better weekend than usual. It really brought the town alive, with no problems, no fuss, no muss.
The Cumberland coun-cil obviously knows there is money to be made in motor-cycle rallies.
Thank you to all those who made the Cumberland Motor-cycle Round Up such a success-ful fun event. Oh and thank you for the prizes some of us won!
