DESCRIPTION
July 01, 2014 edition of the Comox Valley RecordTRANSCRIPT
Terry FarrellRecord staff
According to a June 25 report in the Bloomberg News, the pro-vincial government will be financ-ing a portion of the new Comox Valley and Campbell River hospi-tals through the issuance of what is known in financial circles as “green bonds.”
While an official press release from the provincial government had not been received prior to The Record going to print, it is being reported that up to $230 million in bonds will be issued.
The total estimated cost for the North Island Hospitals Project, according to the capital project plan released in July of 2012, is
$600 million.The bonds are an opportunity
for locals to get involved in the building of the new hospital, in an investment format.
Adding to the allure is the “green” tag.
In order to be considered a green structure, certain architec-tural criteria must be followed in the design of the buildings, in terms of energy efficiency and the general environmental footprint left behind.
Andrew Pape-Salmon of RDH Building Engineering said the energy efficiency is critical.
“The building needs to meet a standard (in order to qualify),” he said.

A Union Bay resident fed up with a power line splitting his property is suing BC Hydro in an effort to have the pole and wire relocated.
Collin Hatton purchased his property off the Old Island High-
way 11 years ago, but BC Hydro installed the power line in 1964. Back then, there may have been a verbal agreement with the former owner, which means BC Hydro has no right of way on the prop-erty, company spokesman Ted Olynyk said.
“I’ve been doing the civilized thing under the normal proce-dures, which is ridiculous,” Hat-ton said.
“They always lead you to believe that they’re moving on it.”

École Puntledge Park’s grad ceremony was cancelled due to the teacher strike, so the Grade 6 graduates organized their own celebration at Puntledge Park. The event included food, a scavenger hunt and fun photos — complete with acces-sories like feather boas — and students formally received their elementary graduation certificates. Inset, grad Jaden Anderton receives her diploma from Puntledge parent Karae White.

Maple Pool Defence Fund committee spokesperson Jean Rowe has announced that a bank account has now been opened at the Coastal Commu-nity Credit Union for the purpose of receiv-ing donations to assist the Lin family and the residents of Maple Pool Campground with their legal fees.
“The Lins are person-ally out of pocket tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees as they have opposed the court action that has been brought by the City of Courtenay which is applying to the court to force the closure of the campground and the displacement onto the streets of 57 of our community’s most vul-nerable people,” said Rowe.
“These are people who are feeding the residents of the camp-ground on a weekly basis, out of their own pockets and all the while they have been bearing the costs of defending their small
community within a community alone. We believe this to be very unfair,” added Rowe.
Donations may be
made at any Coastal Community Credit Union to the Maple Pool Defence Fund account or cheques
may be mailed to the Maple Pool Defence Fund at 4685 Head-quarters Rd, Courte-nay, B.C. V9N 9H4.

Three Highland students will gain leadership skills and meet other youth leaders from around the world, thanks to scholarships from a Comox dental surgeon.
For the fourth year, Dr. Andreas Conradi’s office has given three scholarships, (totalling $10,000), to Valley youth, allowing them to participate in Pearson College UWC’s three-week summer pro-gram, Pearson Seminar on Youth Leadership.
“For the whole team here, it’s a really enriching experience for all of us when we can see a glow in these young people’s faces, and to see that we’ve made a difference,” says Conradi.
One of the goals for the stu-dents is, “To gain some experience that they would not gain any-where else, and then be able to bring that back to the community so we can all benefit from it.”
Students going this summer are Nattalia Gagne (Grade 11), Cassie Jeffrey (Grade 11) and Jes-sica Baldwin (Grade 10).
“I feel very thankful for Dr. Conradi and his team’s work to make this opportunity avail-able for students,” says Baldwin, who plans to enter Highland’s International Baccalaureate Pro-gramme in September. “I’m really excited about the youth leader-
ship camp … it looks like a great opportunity.”
Leadership skills taughtLocated on waterfront prop-
erty west of Victoria, the program features a series activities to strengthen leadership skills and explore global issues, and has 100 attendees from around the world.
The program also includes
plenty of outdoor activities, like hiking and kayaking, plus various presentations designed to get stu-dents thinking about what they can do to improve their communi-ties and the world.
Conradi says the three High-land students chosen for schol-arships this year are excellent matches for the program.
“They are very, very active in the community,” says Conradi. “Two of them are running the local Interact club, and they’re very much supportive of commu-nity-based services.
“They really hope to get some tools at this youth leadership program that they’ll be able to apply in their own school, as far as international understanding, leadership and teamwork.”
The students will each write an essay for Conradi, summarizing their experience at the seminar and what their goals are after attending.
Conradi an alumnusConradi attended Pearson Col-
lege UWC for two years when he was young, and he says bringing youth together from around the world is an important aspect of the college.
“It’s nice to bring some inter-national understanding back to the youth groups to make them realize, despite what’s going on in the world, we can all get along,” says Conradi. “So, that’s what the Pearson College philosophy is in the end, and these three students will get that in a condensed ver-sion … at the summer camp.”

Registration is now open for the 2014 Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride, and this year, participants will have the opportunity to buy an exclusive ride jersey.
The ride will take place Sunday, Aug. 17 at Marina Park in Comox.
There is a route for cyclists of all abili-ties including 25-, 50- and 100-kilometre distances, as well as a 5km family ride.
“We are so thankful for all the support that the community provide YANA, the ride is yet another example of how support-ive the Comox Valley is of our local families
in need.” says Marcie Dumais, executive director of YANA.
YANA (You Are Not Alone) is a Comox Valley charity offering to help local families who need to travel to access medical treatment for their children.
YANA helped 112 local families in 2013, funded 290 medical trips, provided over $75,000 in financial assis-tance and offered homes away from home in Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver.
“Last year’s ride raised $28,000, this year, we have a specific goal, we’d like to cover five months of accommodation expenses for fam-ilies. To do it we’ll need to raise
$32,000,” said Patti Fletcher, co-owner of Simon’s Cycles.
“We have been working with Simon’s Cycles to repeat the suc-cess of last year’s event,” adds Dumais.
In the spirit of keeping the popular event fresh, there are a few new ele-
ments this year, not the least of which some sportswear
available that will serve as a great memento of the ride.
“This year we are excited to offer a YANA Ride custom designed jer-sey for registered participants,” said Fletcher. “This is a not only a great complement to your active wear,
but a fun functional memory piece to a Ride Day that
you’ll never forget.” Simon’s are working with Michael John-
son of Good Thinking Design to deliver the jersey. The $75 jersey is exclusively avail-able to participants who register for the Simon’s Cycles YANA Ride before Sunday July 6. To ensure a good fit, visit Simon’s Cycles on Comox Avenue and try one on for size.

“Low heat-loss, an air-tight building, but with good heat-recov-ery ventilation, and a high-efficiency heating system are (basics).”
Tony Edwards, an investment advisor at Portfolio Strate-gies Securities, Inc. in Courtenay, says that the green tag is the key to selling the bonds.
“My opinion is this, at least what I have found, is that many investors are willing to take a little bit of a haircut on returns, in order to support proj-ects of this nature, that have that ‘environmen-tal overlay,’” he said, adding that he thinks the bonds will go over well. “I am hoping I can get a hold of some of these for my clients here in (Courtenay).”
He said the lower return would not be substantial.
“By ‘lower return’ you might be talking… well, in the industry we talk about basis points, which is 0.01 of a per-cent, so you might be
talking 10 or 15 basis points, which is 10 or 15 one-hundredths of one per cent. So not a huge difference, but it allows the financing to be done a little bit cheaper.”
According to Bloom-berg, the bonds, which are to mature in 2046, were to be priced out on Thursday. For the Bloomberg report go to bloom.bg/1m5xZV2

Comox Valley schools will be more prepared to handle an emergency, such as a major earthquake, next school-year than in the past.
The Comox Valley School District began implementa-tion of the Hour-Zero school e m e r g e n c y program this year, and deliv-ered emergen-cy supplies to schools.
“I think we’ve made good progress,” says district principal of health and safety Paul Berry. “Many of our schools had been working for a number of years to get their supplies and protocols and training up to standard, but many schools had done little. So, the purchas-es this year and the training this year were to get everyone on a level playing field.”
Hour-Zero training was con-ducted at 14 schools, which included presentations to site staff and Parent Advisory Councils (PACs), outlining what staff roles and respon-sibilities would be after an incident such as a 7.0-plus magnitude earthquake.
“I take them through a sce-nario using photographs and data from recent earthquakes
in New Zealand and Japan,” says Berry, noting these coun-tries have similar building codes and infrastructure to the Comox Valley.
“Staff needs to be prepared to deal with everything from search and rescue, to triage, to assessing the damage of the building to decide wheth-er or not it can continue to
be occupied, or to house and shelter upwards of 1,000 stu-dents for a s igni f i cant period of time, and look after their needs.”
The train-ing “opens their eyes to
the reality that they would have to do this, they would be staying at the school, looking after the students.”
The training also includes protocol for other emergency events, such as an active shoot-er in a school, or school evacu-ations.
A detailed selection of emer-gency supplies were delivered to each school this year, includ-ing one 450-gallon water tank per site, water filters, tarps, portable toilets, emergency evacuation stretchers, first-aid tents, pry bars, shovels, axes and triage equipment.
Supplies were delivered to the district emergency oper-
ations centre, too, and com-munication equipment was delivered to each school, ensur-ing the ability for schools to communicate with the opera-tions centre.
Training will continue next school-year at other Valley schools, and large-scale train-ing exercises are planned.
“We hope, probably next May during Emergency Pre-paredness Week, we would like to exercise both a second-ary school and an elementary school in a larger scale scenar-io, complete with evacuation, and open our district emer-gency operation centre at the same time,” says Berry.
Canned food delivery to schools will continue in the fall, and Berry notes school PACs will likely take a lead role in ensuring their respective schools are supplied with food. He estimates the district spent about $85,000 this year on the Hour Zero program and pur-chase of emergency resources. He estimates the cost will be about the same next year, as program implementation and training continues.
“We still have a long way to go,” says Berry. “But … the province, Minister of Educa-tion, is only now just beginning to draft documents around emergency preparedness, very similar to what we’ve had for quite a number of years. And, so I think it puts our district well ahead of the curve.”

From the very fi rst day that we registered online to look for property, Derek was with us every step of the way. Through the whole process of viewing properties, making the offer and following through with the sale, he was extremely knowl-edgeable and meticulous with all the details. We were so impressed by his enthusiasm and his willingness to go above and beyond, and always with patience and a great sense of humour. He always made himself available to us and was there after we moved in to check on our progress. We would defi nitely have no hesitation in recommending Derek to anyone looking for a trustworthy and conscientious realtor. ~ Laraine Charter and Barry Beech

When he purchased the property, Hatton says BC Hydro agreed it had erred and that the lines could be moved. Back then, the company had a Courtenay office. It has since relocated to Qualicum.
Over the years, he says different people have said the lines can be moved but no action is ever taken. A planning employ-ee said it would take about three years.
That was the last straw for Hatton, who is taking BC Hydro to court through small claims for $25,000 — the small claims limit. A hearing is scheduled for Friday, July 4.
“We’ve tried to work with him to see if we can get right-of-way access but he doesn’t want that, so we have to move the poles,” Olynyk said. “We
are in the process of making sure we can move the poles to a proper loca-tion where it doesn’t compromise the integrity of the service to nearby residents. But we will be moving the poles.”
Olynyk has no idea how long this will take.
Hatton says Hydro is attempting to get the line onto the railway right-of-way. But if the company moves it back to the property lines, he would no longer be ser-viced off the line.
“They’re trying to leave the power line more or less where it is, but it’s
to the detriment of my property for the benefit of Hydro and everybody else,” Hatton said. “I’m saying re-route it. You could service everybody off the highway. You don’t have to be coming through my yard.”

A primary 9-1-1 call answering service for the Comox Valley and beyond will save around $1.7 mil-lion without compromising service, explained the president of the North Island 911 Corporation Wednesday.
Jon Ambler said the corporation’s board of directors voted to contract with E-Comm based in Vancouver for 9-1-1 call answering services, which is strictly the PSAP — the public safety answering point — when an individual calls the emer-gency line.
“When someone calls 9-1-1 they ask what the nature of the emergen-cy is — fire, police or ambulance — and they immediately transfer the call to a dispatcher,” he explained.
The call will then be transferred either to the Courtenay Operation Communications Centre (OCC) for police, North Island 911’s fire dis-patch centre in Campbell River, or Victoria for ambulance, which will all remain the same.
Currently, the initial answering point for PSAP for the North Island 911 Corporation is the RCMP OCC in Courtenay. The corporation has an agreement with the RCMP OCC to perform the function, but follow-ing an analysis by the consulting firm Pomax, it found the service was not part of the force’s core business and the price would be increasing.
“The physical location (of PSAP) doesn’t add value to the location of the services,” explained Ambler. “Telephone calls move at the speed of light. You can be on Mars and still answer 9-1-1 calls … where you’re
sitting doesn’t matter.“E-Comm does calls for millions of
people … they have a contract with us to answer 95 per cent of calls in five seconds or less.”
Ambler added there is significant value with keeping local centres to handle the call following the trans-fer, and said E-Comm is “probably one of the best call centres in North America.”
He said the company is a not-for-profit, and said the decision was based upon two priorities: ensuring service would not be reduced or inadequate and that service has to be affordable.
The cost of the new model for PSAP will be $2,003,510 over five years, and is scheduled to take effect this fall.
Despite the change, Lois Karr, manager for the Operation Commu-nications Centre division, confirmed there will be no loss of jobs.
“They will be absorbed,” she noted and added all employees of the OCC are civilian members of the RCMP and are trained in both 9-1-1 and police dispatch.
There are four PSAP positions, funded by the North Island 911 Corporation, with a full-time staff of 30 at the OCC, supplemented by approximately 12 casuals which cover holidays and busy periods.
Established in 1995, The North Island 911 Corporation covers the largest geographical 9-1-1 area in Canada, covering regional dis-tricts of Comox Valley, Strathcona, Mt.Waddington and Alberni-Clayo-quot, Powell River and a portion of the Nanaimo Regional District.
New 9-1-1 answering service will not result in loss of jobs

A former Courtenay city councillor feels the current CVRD board is missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop a potential jewel near Stotan Falls, where a Nanaimo-based developer proposes to create a river-front community consisting of homes and trails.
Murray Presley likens the vision of 3L Developments to Stanley Park, which the City of Vancouver dedicated as such in the 19th century after securing a lease from the federal government.
“It is the jewel of Vancou-ver,” said Presley, a former CVRD board member and past-president of the Comox Valley Economic Develop-ment Society board.
“Now the Comox Valley has the opportunity to acquire 185 acres of riverfront prop-erty on the Puntledge and the Browns rivers amounting to many thousands of feet.
It includes Stotan Falls and Bull Island.”
In a 7-3 vote Tuesday, the regional district committee of the whole approved a staff recommendation to not ini-tiate an amendment to the Regional Growth Strategy bylaw, as requested by 3L. Courtenay directors Starr Winchester, Bill Anglin and Manno Theos opposed the recommendation.
“Unfortunately, the CVRD vote forces the property owner to do a large lot subdivision, and in fact subdivide and sell the valuable riverfront prop-erty,” Presley said.
“So instead of the beauti-ful and much used riverfront property going into public hands in perpetuity, it will be chopped up and sold pri-vately.”
Last year, the board reject-ed an offer from 3L to pur-chase the property, saying the proposal is not in sync with the RGS.
The rejection prompted the company to enforce No Tres-
passing signs and to tempo-rarily block traffic flow on Comox Logging Road by clos-ing two sets of gates on Dun-can Bay Main.
A Save Stotan Falls Face-book page appeared shortly thereafter, as did a protest at the falls.
After re-opening the gates, 3L submitted a rezoning application to sell 10-acre parcels on the property. The application no longer includ-ed a parkland dedication that was part of the original offer.
The issue has since bogged down in debate about process. The CVRD says it’s being car-ried out in the public interest but 3L feels the district is not following its own process.
Presley feels the CVRD has lost sight of an opportunity to acquire waterfront parkland at no cost to taxpayers.
“You have to wonder how they can pass up on this opportunity and still be work-ing for the best interest of the Comox Valley,” Presley said. “The only thing we can hope
for now is the developer tak-ing the CVRD to court and winning over the way it has been treated, the validity of the RGS and the refusal to allow the public to comment on the development with an RGS amendment proposal.”
Both parties have sought legal advice.
3L solicitors Cox Taylor suggest the CVRD is not fol-lowing procedures set out in the Local Government Act and in the RGS.

The regional district board approved a request from Comox Director Tom Grant to commit remaining home-lessness grant funding from the Vancouver Island Health Authority to the Dawn to Dawn Action on Homeless-ness Society.
The money — $15,654 — will help the society continue a scattered housing program through the winter months.
The CVRD has an agree-ment with Dawn to Dawn to deliver the program that houses marginalized individ-uals in rental units. How-ever, the agreement ends in
November and funding is running dry.
Earlier in the year, previ-ous funding of about $174,000 helped the organization exceed its goal of housing 18 clients over a two-year period.
“I think the scattered hous-ing concept is very effective,” Courtenay director Manno Theos said at Tuesday’s meet-ing.
TFP goals get approvalThe board was unanimous
in its approval of Transit Future Plan goals such as attracting new riders and aligning the region’s transit system with town centres. Opinion, however, was divided
when it came to the question of funding short-term service priorities identified as high-est ridership and revenue per service hour. In a 7-3 vote, the board approved a $270,000 net cost to the CVRD.
Courtenay director Starr Winchester feels the addi-tional money is not going to increase bus ridership in the Valley.
Courtenay Directors Bill Anglin and Manno Theos also opposed the additional cost share with BC Transit.
The 25-year Future Plan identifies key corridors and considers other factors such as the physical benefits of walking to and from a bus stop.
Letter to MinistryThe district will send
a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines outlining its terms and conditions con-cerning two licences issued to Hillsborough Resources for exploratory coal drilling in the Woodhus Creek/Oyster River area.
The letter will note that the river supplies drinking water to about 3,800 people.
To see a copy of the letter, go to Record website at www.comoxvalleyrecord.com and look for “Letter from CVRD to Senior Inspector of Mines, Permitting and Health and Safety” in the business sec-tion.

The third annual Filberg Summer Concert Series is kick-ing off with a bang on Thursday, July 3 with the wild musical antics of Blackberry Wood.
Blackberry Wood is a wonder-ful, secret and magic combina-tion of alt-country-gypsy-circus music. They play a high-ener-gy cabaret spin on dreamy old musical styles adding big juicy modern flavours like ska, rock and roll, blues, hip-hop, gypsy, punk and many other irre-sistible body shakin’ and foot stompin’ sounds.
Blackberry Wood comes down the road like a travelling cara-van, with all kinds of wondrous instruments, vocal melodies and fantastically costumed charac-ters. They’ve kicked up dust in towns all over western Canada, the United Kingdom and parts of the United States.
It’s the kind of music that will hold over in any venue, big or small. Blackberry Wood is the kind of band that will rock out
at Glastonbury one weekend, then play a crowded art studio opening the next. Theirs is a thrilling live show renowned for its audience participation and they have only one objective in mind: to ensure that you, Mr./Ms. Audience Member, are hav-ing one heck of a good time.
This is a great way to kick off a musical summer and the whole family is invited. Pack a picnic, bring a blanket, call your friends and don’t forget, kids under 12 are free!
This is a great way to expose future music lovers to some excellent music.
The Filberg Tea House is also offering a special pre-show menu on concert nights. Res-
ervations are recommended by calling 250-339-0747.
Tickets for the Filberg Summer Concert Series are $15 (under 12 years are free). Tickets are available at Laugh-ing Oyster Books and Long & McQuade in Courtenay, Blue Heron Books in Comox or online at www.filbergfestival.com/tick-ets/. Tickets are also available at the gate, cash only please. The gate opens at 6 p.m. and the music starts at 7 p.m. sharp.
Join us for Warm Sum-mer Nights and Hot Summer Sounds. This is the first in a four-part open air summer con-cert series that will also feature Fish and Bird, The Des Larsen Band and Crikey Mor.
The Filberg Summer Concert Series is a fundraiser for the new Main Stage at the his-toric Filberg Park in Comox as a home to year-round musi-cal programming and special events. For details visit www.filberg.com.

The Big Yellow Merville hall will be hopping Thursday, July 3, as three (count ‘em, three) major acts hit the stage for a hall fundraising concert.
The Lonely Heartstring Blue-grass Band from Boston; super fid-dler Pierre Schryer from Ontario; and the Valley’s own Trent Free-man will play their music to herald in the “Stolen Church and Manse” project.
The Lonely Heartstring Band (www.lonelyheartstringband.com) combines instrumental vir-tuosity and three-part harmonies with original songwriting and a deep understanding of traditional bluegrass and Appalachian music. Hailing from Boston, Mass., the band has become a staple in the New England bluegrass scene and are quickly building momentum in the rest of the country and in Canada.
They will even play Beatles rep-ertoire on traditional bluegrass instruments.
Pierre Schryer (www.pierre-schryer.com) is one of Canada’s leading traditional fiddlers and has established himself as a gem on the music scene among fans and fellow musicians. He has received numerous titles and awards including Canadian Grand Mas-
ters Fiddle Champion and North American Irish Fiddle Champion.
Trent Freeman (www.trentfree-man.com) has played fiddle in the Comox Valley for years as well as touring with bluegrass king John Reischman, Calvin Vollrath, and with his group The Fretless. He is in the Comox Valley several times this summer and we are fortunate enough to have him joining the stellar lineup on July 3.
You might have noticed the two buildings that have been moved to the hall grounds? Well, they are now sitting on new concrete foundations, so Phase One of the “Stolen Church” project is nearing completion. The hall is cranking up the fundraising efforts as there are thousands of dollars in bills to pay. We are looking for patriotic Mervillians (and wannabe Mervil-lians) who will step up to the plate, buy a Merville Community Asso-ciation membership and help out with a donation.
So saddle up Old Paint and come on out to this festival of fun on Thursday. There will be many door prizes, auction items, a dance area at the back of the hall and refresh-ments. This is your opportunity to climb on board this Merville train while it is still in the station.
Tickets for the Thursday, July 3 show at the Big Yellow Mer-ville Hall are available at Long & McQuade, Courtenay and at Blue Heron Books, Comox. Doors open at 7 p.m. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Cost is $15.

After a stellar three years in the Vancouver Whitecaps Resi-dency program, Nolan Wirth is ready to move on.
The talented Comox goalkeeper finished up his U18 stint with the ‘Caps at the United States Soccer Development Academy playoffs, June 23-26 in Westfield, Indiana.
The ‘Caps Whitecaps tied Solar Chelsea 2-2 in their opener June 23 and blanked Georgia United 4-0 on June 24. They needed to beat Bethseda-Olney on June 25 but fell 5-3.
The ‘Caps were up 2-0 when goalie Marco Carducci was sent off for a controversial foul inside the area.
The game was tied 3-3 with 30 minutes to play, but Bethseda-Olney pulled ahead just minutes after the Caps’ equalizer and added a late insurance tally.
B e t h s e d a -Olney advanced to the quarter-finals while the White-caps packed their bags for the final time this year.
W i r t h e n j o y e d another suc-c e s s f u l – and busy – s e a s o n with the
Whitecaps. Training five days a week and playing games on the weekend, the team played 27 regular season games from September through May. Wirth also saw regular action with the ‘Caps’ U23 United Soccer League Pre-mier Develop-ment League squad.
He also trained occa-s i o n a l l y with the White-caps’
MSL team and, “Whitecaps’ MLS goalkeeper coach Marius Rovde speaks very highly of Nolan,” a team spokesperson said.
While he con-
tinues to improve technically and tactically, Wirth says his personal growth was the biggest factor in his development this year. “It’s just maturing as a person and a goalkeeper,” the 19-year-old
said, add-ing he’s also honed his leadership and game
management skills.
With the USSDA playoffs in the books, Wirth plans to
head to university in the United States to
play soc-c e r
and take general studies for a couple of years. “The Whitecaps will still have my MSL home-grown rights,” Wirth said, adding that if the opportunity presented
itself in a few years time, he would “for sure” like to play for Van-couver.
Wirth is also the num-
ber one goalkeeper for Canada’s U20 team. In May the national team was in Florida where, with Wirth between the posts, they drew with Fort Lauderdale Strik-ers of the NASL and defeated Orlando City, a team going into the MSL next season.
“Overall it was a good camp,” Wirth said of the team’s ini-
tial preparation for next year’s CONCACAF U20 championships.
At the end of July the Canadian team is going to Ireland, as Wirth’s soccer career continues to carry him around the world.
In 2013, he made national and inter-national appear-ances with the Canada U18 team.
Wirth is a keen follower of this year’s World Cup. “I want the U.S. to do the best they can, just because if they do very well
that will change soc-cer in North America.”[email protected]

Twisted Dishes Café fills dining niche in ComoxTo the delight of the commu-
nity, local resident and talented chef, Devin Sexton, has recently opened the doors to his new res-taurant, Twisted Dishes Café. The restaurant is conveniently located at 146 Port Augusta Street in Comox, a short hop from the Comox Marina.
With an extensive back-ground in the culinary world, Devin began his cooking career in Vancouver at Earl’s restau-rant and continued to hone his cooking skills in a number of well-respected restaurants in Vancouver and Whistler. His culinary experience also
includes prepar-ing scrumptious fare for celebri-ties at the Westin Hotel and creat-ing the four-star Whistler Hy’s Steakhouse menu for the annual Whistler Cornuco-pia Dinner.
Devin takes pride in serving fresh local food in a comfortable and casual setting with everything prepared in house daily, includ-
ing all of the baked goods, breads and the unique condiments s p e c i a l l y made for the sandwiches. Some local f a v o u r i t e s have already emerged such as the Twist-ed Dishes B r e a k f a s t Sandwich, an organic egg on
a homemade rosemary biscuit
with Little Qualicum brie cheese, tomato and pesto or the Lemon Poached Cinnamon Buns - fresh and warm from the oven.
The fully licensed café is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., serving breakfast and lunch for dine-in or take-out. An expanding and ever-changing selection of speciality goods are also available for purchase including:
tasty barbecue rubs for fish, chicken and beef, fresh baked cookies and crackers, spreads, salads, sandwich-es and wraps.

Mieczyslaw (Mac) PawlinaOctober 10, 1923 – June 22, 2014
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of this wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather on Sunday June 22nd.Mac was born in Poland in 1923. He survived a Russian sentence in Siberia at the beginning of World War II, escaped, and proudly joined allied forces to fight for our freedom. With no country to return to after the war, he found himself in England where he met the love of his life Jean. In search of a new beginning, Mac and Jean emigrated to Canada with their son Stefan in 1958, settling in London Ontario. They followed Stefan and his wife Ellen to Courtenay in 1985, and shortly thereafter welcomed two grandchildren Cole (CJ) and Bryan whom they adored. Family was the foundation of his life, and he was thrilled to witness the marriage of CJ to Jenny, and blessed to have become a great grandfather to his beloved Emma. He was also extremely proud of Bryan and his studies at UBC.He was a kind and gentle soul who appreciated life to its fullest and was thankful for his family and the beauty of living in the Comox Valley. Friends are welcome to share their memories of him with us on Friday, July 4th at a reception in the Courtenay Legion from 2 – 4 pm.

Record Question of the Week
Just when I feel a little embarrassed by the she-nanigans of hockey players,
the craziness of the NHL and our obsession with pro hockey, along comes the world of soccer – sorry, football – to put us in our place.
Yes, The Beauti-ful Game makes the National Hockey League look like the small potatoes it is.
With the World Cup currently underway on television screens around the globe, even North Americans get wrapped up in the spectacle that is the biggest sporting event on the planet – yes, it’s even bigger than the Olympics, which is no amateur when it comes to staging a head-shaking spectacle of whining, cheating and generally embar-rassing behaviour in the name of sport. North America is the last holdout in football’s sport-ing hegemony. Now that North America has taken the ball and run with it – sorry, I couldn’t resist an ironic metaphor for the North American version of “football” – soccer has indeed conquered the world.
The game has been popular in the U.S. and Canada for a long time and more kids play soccer in Canada than play hockey.
Soccer has always been a part of my life, being an immigrant from the country where partisanship is so ingrained that it sends three teams to contest the great football prize, even
though none of them appear in any danger of winning it. Of course, now being Canadian, it doesn’t appear as if we’ll be attending the big dance any time soon either. This is supposed to feel significant for some reason.
But such is the World Cup that it stirs national pride and exhorts people to unite and sing the glory of their team at the top of their lungs in a stadium far, far away. And if you can’t be at the stadium, you can always put on your national team’s colours and plunk yourself down on your living room couch and watch it on the telly. Or, if you’re feel-ing tribal – and such behavior is encouraged – head down to a local pub with others whose grandparents came from some country somewhere else and
cheer on a team whose players’ names you can barely pronounce.
Ah, the World Cup – where diving, acting, whining and, yes, biting, are all part of the spec-tacle. And that’s just at the FIFA meetings. Okay, sorry, that last one was a joke. I don’t know if those things happen in a FIFA meeting but I do know that FIFA is the only organization that can teach the International Olympic Committee a thing or two about political intrigue. Yes, FIFA is the organization that decided hosting a World Cup in the mid-dle of summer in the one of the hottest deserts in the world is a good idea. (The 2022 World Cup will be in Dubai.)
But despite all the craziness, one thing that transcends it all is the simple beauty of the game and the passion of the fans who suspend belief for a month every four years and celebrate pure athleticism and cunning strat-egy.
Like all sports, at the heart of it all is a child’s game that still elevates the human spirit to a level of shared joy. Unfortunately, childish behaviour surfaces a little too often.
Alistair Taylor is the editor of the Campbell River Mirror
Today is Canada’s 147th birthday. For most of the past 147 years, Canada has been respectful of other countries and of its wide
variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions.
There are some significant exceptions however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants came from offshore. For the first 100 years of our independence, there were ongo-ing efforts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them.
It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very different First Nations groups, First Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada deci-sion on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation.
The other blot on our history comes in the treatment of Asians, particularly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and financial settlements, that aspect of our history is a shameful one — as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out pro-spective immigrants from China and India.
What Canada does do well, however, is to learn from our past mistakes.
This country has always been a grouping of very different people. Europeans and Americans were the first to join the aboriginal people.
There were also early settlers of Chinese and Japanese backgrounds. In the past 50 years, the doors have been opened wider for people from all over.
Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cul-tures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and well-positioned — and one of the best places in the world to live.
Happy Birthday, Canada. –Black Press

Dear editor,Re. smart meters: In reply to
the scientist from B.C. Hydro, maybe he is right, maybe not, but I did look up the “Code of Conduct” for all employees of B.C. Hydro and it clearly states that no employee or recent employee of B.C. Hydro can have any inter-est in any business that deals with B.C. Hydro.
I notice that many of the pres-ent and recent board of directors of B.C. Hydro are also stock hold-
ers of the “Corix” company (one Ms. Vickers even being on the board of directors of Corix). Is that possibly against the “Code of Conduct” for employees of B.C. Hydro, or does this not apply to the board of directors?
Before you run to your broker and buy Corix stock let me warn you that they are a “private” com-pany and only sell stock to insid-ers and friends.
Something doesn’t smell right. Possibly a case for the Audi-
tor General...oh I forgot: he got fired and sent off to Australia for mouthing off about Rich Coleman (then Forest Minister) giving his brother Steve Coleman (on the board of Western Forests) permis-sion to take their land around Victoria and Sooke out of Tree Farm Status and sold to a devel-oper. Now Rich Coleman is Minis-ter of Energy. Coincidence?

Dear editor,With the opening of all the
“box stores”on the periphery of Courtenay it is time for some innovative action to revitalize the withering downtown area.
Having had the opportunity to travel in Europe, I have noticed that the most attractive and bus-iest towns have a central street or streets that is void of cars and traffic.
Some have been fortunate to have large central squares that are teeming with visitors, shop-pers and tourists.
One such town, Galway, in Ireland, has two or three streets reserved for foot and bike traf-fic only and the stores, pubs and restaurants spill into the streets, making use of canopies (it rains frequently there), tables and dis-plays to attract patrons.
What a fun place to have a coffee, a meal or just enjoy the sights, sounds and music.
On a small scale, Courtenay
could also enjoy a resurgence, by merely closing Fifth Street to traffic, and allowing the result-ing calm and space to evolve into a thriving and fun marketplace.
Already we have a very active Farmers’ Market that is set up on Headquarters Road, some-what distant from downtown. Sound familiar? Just like the box stores.
Let’s bring them in to Fifth Street three or four days a week, or more, to get things going.
Encourage buskers to populate the corners and allow the restau-rants, pubs and coffee shops to spill into the resulting space in an inviting fashion.
There is plenty of parking for cars on the peripheral streets. Who ever sold any merchandise to a car anyway? How about it merchants, musicians and farm-ers? Let’s get together and have some downtown fun!

Another call for a car-less downtown core
More and more North American cities are closing one or two streets in the downtown core to motorized traffic, allowing consumers to enjoy their shopping experience in an outdoor mall-like setting. It could work in Courtenay, says reader Bill Morrison. FILE PHOTO
Dear editorEarlier this year I phoned BC
Hydro over billing me for hydro use. The lady at Hydro told me that they were just taking aver-ages and that they would be reading my meter in the future. As it turns out they read my meter in late May or early June of this year.
I received a letter the other
day saying I have a $150 credit. What I don’t like here is that if I did not pay those bills, I would have been charged interest.
How many people are in the same scam as me?
Look at the extra money that Hydro is using that does not belong to them.

Where’s the interest, BC Hydro?

Letters to the Editor
Dear editor,The Comox Valley Regional
District has finally voted to not accept 3L’s application to apply for a ‘minor’ amendment to the Regional Growth Strategy.
So now the following question needs to be asked and consid-ered, before another application is submitted.
Just how is it that an applica-
tion that disregards the contain-ment boundaries set out in the RGS would ever have been con-sidered within the less stringent criteria of a ‘Minor’ Amendment, when it obviously would be a precedent-setting application worthy of Major Amendment status?
Grant GordonArea C
Nothing minor about 3L’s application

Dear editor,I’ve been a teacher in School
District 71 for 28 years. Throughout this time there
have been many contract dis-putes but never have I felt the disrespect that exudes from this government towards teachers, and I keep asking myself why the government is so opposed to increasing the funding to public education.
I don’t have a problem with parents sending their children to private schools, because that’s their right.
However, I have a big problem understanding why our govern-ment not only funds private/independent schools, but has in fact increased funding for inde-pendent schools by 45.6 per cent since 2005 and in that same period has only increased public school funding by 16.9 per cent (as per BCTF estimates).
Not only have there been many contract disputes over the
years, there have been many changes in the classroom (espe-cially regarding class composi-tion).
More and more students are being diagnosed with learning disabilities and require indi-vidual education plans or modi-fied programs; more and more classrooms have multiple stu-dents with moderate-to-severe behaviour challenges and stu-dents with English as a second language. Yet the support for these students has been steadily reduced over the years to the point where it is commonplace for one education assistant to be assigned to work with two (and often more) students in one or more classrooms.
I’ve had to share EAs in the past and I can honestly say it becomes a little difficult when your behaviour student is hav-ing a meltdown but the EA is with their other class at the time.
At the bargaining table the weekend preceding our strike action, the government wanted the teachers to agree to a clause stating that if either side was not satisfied with the appeal result they had the right to terminate the existing contract within 60 days.
In other words, if the govern-ment doesn’t get their way, they are giving themselves another way to avoid funding public edu-cation.
I’m glad I chose the profes-sion I did because I look forward to going and working with my students every day, and I feel rewarded every time they make an accomplishment and develop a love for learning.
These students deserve a properly funded education sys-tem because they are our future.

Harbour Air Sea-planes offered a rare chance to take a sce-nic tour of the Comox Glacier during the BC Shellfish and Seafood Festival.
Harbour Air Sea-planes is known in the Comox Valley for its commuter flights between Comox Har-bour and downtown Vancouver. But, on Saturday and Sun-day, June 21 and 22, the company offered something different than normal, 30-min-ute tours of the Comox Glacier aboard a DHC-3 Turbine Single Otter seaplane.
“It was great,” pas-senger Christie Adams said after the flight. “It was nice seeing a view of the land from the air; it looks a lot dif-ferent.”
Adams had taken her dad Ryan Rath-bone on the tour as a Father’s Day gift, a gift he described as “some-thing original” and “a lot of fun.”
The flights took off from Comox Harbour, flying over Comox Lake before getting in close to the glacier. The tour gave passengers plenty of opportunity
to snap photos of the mountains, frozen lakes and glacial ice.
Assistant chief pilot for Harbour Air Sea-planes Rob Dewar has been flying since 2003, but he had never got as close to Vancouver Island’s largest gla-cier previously in his career.
“I’ve done a num-ber of trips from
Sonora (Island), that sort of area, Desola-tion (Sound) to Tofino, where you fly right over top of it, but we’re usually pretty high so we don’t really get down and have a look,” he said after the 11 a.m. flight on Saturday.
“That was my first time actually in the glacier, and it was amazing.”
This was the first year scenic glacier tours were offered in conjunction with the BC Shellfish and Sea-food Festival.
Harbour Air offers
flights between Comox and downtown Vancou-ver three times per day on weekdays, and two times per day on week-ends.
