McRae’s job changesRecord Staff

Comox Valley MLA Don McRae has been named Minister of Social Develop-ment and Social Innovation by Premier Christy Clark.

According to Clark, who shuffled the cabinet Friday, the former education minis-ter will:

• Ensure that significant reforms … at Community Living B.C. are fully imple-mented and benefiting fam-ilies;

• Continue efforts to assist people with disabili-ties earn an income;

• Deliver on the govern-ment’s commitment “to make B.C. Canada’s most progressive province for people and families living with disabilities.”

Community Living BC (CLBC), a provincial crown agency mandated under the Community Living Author-ity Act, delivers supports and services to adults with developmental disabilities and their families in the province. CLBC works to create communities where people with developmen-tal disabilities have more choices about how they live, work and contribute.

McRae successfully defended his Comox Valley seat in last month’s pro-vincial election, defying a trend in which the NDP won all but two Vancouver Island seats. McRae earned 12,817 votes, taking nearly 45 per cent of the popular vote. NDP candidate Kas-sandra Dycke was second with 11,024 votes.

McRae was a high school teacher before becoming a member of Courtenay coun-

cil in 2002. He captured the B.C. Liberal nomina-tion for the Comox Valley in 2009 following the untime-ly death of Stan Hagen. McRae was elected MLA in the May provincial election, defeating NDP candidate Leslie McNabb 13,016 to 11,593 votes.

After serving as a backbencher, McRae was appointed agriculture min-ister before being promoted to head the education port-folio. He was the subject of a recall campaign in 2011, spearheaded by Kathryn Askew, a former teacher of McRae’s. The campaign — which ultimately failed — was a response to the way in which the BC Liberals introduced the HST, and McRae’s support of the tax.

McRae has not been available for comment.

Internet speeding up

Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Telus is investing $10 million in Cour-tenay and Comox this year to expand wireless coverage and enhance wired Internet and Optik TV.

The world’s fastest wireless technology, called 4G LTE, offers Internet speeds two to three times faster than past technology, enabling connections as fast as home Inter-net on smartphones, tablets and Internet keys.

“Wireless technology is increasingly valu-able with new devices that people are using for home-managed care,” said Eric Mac-donald, vice-president of finance capital and support services at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Emerging tech-nologies are basically infrastructure that will help manage chronic

illnesses that require continuous monitoring, he added.

“Diabetics monitor-ing their blood sugars using their iPhone, that kind of thing,” Macdonald said.

The $10 million investment includes fibre-optic cabling at Mount Washington, and a new telecom-munications tower on Knight Road near the airport. The 40-metre tower is expected to plug holes in cellphone coverage in the area.

Last year, Telus invested $6 million to connect most homes in Courtenay and Comox directly to fibre optic cables, dramatically improving Internet speeds for businesses and households.

“The demand for advanced communica-tions services is explod-ing in Courtenay and Comox, and Telus is committed to bringing the latest technology, both wired and wire-less, to the community,” said Raymond Lawson, Telus general manager for Vancouver Island.

The company’s We Give Where We Live philosophy has encour-aged its 25,000 employ-

ees and retirees in B.C. to donate more than $100 million and volun-teer 2.66 million hours to organizations and charities since 2000. In Courtenay and Comox, Telus employees have contributed more than $100,000 and 25,000 volunteer hours.

From time to time, the hospital applies to We Give Where We Live.

“It’s good to see them giving back to the com-munity,” Macdonald [email protected]

COMOX VALLEY RECORD

Renee AndorRecord Staff

Roderick Gravoueille is hoping for clear and calm weather Friday.

The Grade 12 Mark R. Isfeld student built a weather balloon he plans to launch off Mount Wash-ington this Friday at 9 a.m., and the fairer the weather, the closer to the Comox Valley it should land, he says.

“That’ll be definitely the most challenging part of the project is finding the balloon after it’s landed somewhere,” says Gra-voueille, noting the bal-loon should reach the earth’s stratosphere at its highest point.

“Mount Everest reaches about the limit of the tro-posphere, and then above that is the stratosphere, and my balloon will reach about midway through the stratosphere.”

Gravoueille has been working on the project since January during an independent directed study at Isfeld.

He built a capsule which will hold a GoPro camera and a tracking device in styrofoam to protect the equipment from cold tem-peratures in the Earth’s stratosphere. The capsule is housed inside a large lunch bag, which will be covered in waterproof tape in case it lands in water upon its return.

A huge latex balloon — which Gravoueille says is about six feet wide when flaccid — will be filled with helium to lift the cap-sule up about 33 kilome-tres from the ground. The camera will film the jour-ney up, and Gravoueille expects the latex balloon to expand to about 28 feet in width before it pops and the capsule begins its descent.

He notes the capsule should fall at about 55 feet per second, which is approximately terminal velocity, before a para-chute inflates slowing it down for the rest of the fall.

Though Gravoueille expects he will see approx-imately where the capsule will land thanks to his tracking equipment, he says he’ll have to retrieve the capsule to see any of the video footage of the trip.

“It’s likely that it’ll land in water which is better because I won’t have to try and climb a tree or go into this really remote forest to find it,” says Gravoueille.

Gravoueille decided to take on the project because he is interested in a career

in space technology.“Since my career choice

is based around this kind of thing — transit between the surface of the Earth and near-space, and things like that — I thought it would be appro-priate to try and do a project similar to that in high school to show that I have the ability to do this and that I’m serious about what I’m going to do in my career,” he says.

Gravoueille plans to start engineering studies at North Island College in September, then trans-fer to the University of Victoria to specialize in mechanical engineering.

“And then I’m hoping that, after my studies at the University of Victo-ria, I can go into graduate

studies at Carleton Uni-versity or the University of Toronto for aerospace engineering,” he says, not-ing he also plans to start his own business after he obtains some experience working as an engineer.

“I’m just really interest-ed in space technology and kind of the unknown fac-tor that space has to offer, so it’s mostly the unknown discoveries that are wait-ing to be made that I want to help do.”

He notes his physics teacher Jesse Pendak, principal Jeff Taylor, Telus technician Des Hart, 19 Wing warrant officer Kelly Skulmoski, and Accutech’s Dean Morin helped him bring the project to this point.

Balloon headed to stratosphereNew proposal for our ridingScott Stanfield Record Staff

Recommendations about controversial changes pro-posed for the Vancouver Island North federal rid-ing have been submitted to the B.C. Electoral Boundar-ies Commission (BCEBC), MP John Duncan revealed Wednesday.

The report, which was tabled by the House of Com-mons committee studying the subject, summarizes the objections of MPs to the commission’s most recent proposal, Duncan noted. The commission’s task is complicated by the addition of six new seats in B.C. due to population growth.

“The latest recommen-dation by the commission, which split the Comox Val-ley in half and removed Powell River from the Sun-shine Coast and added it to Vancouver Island North, met with considerable opposition in the impacted communities,” Duncan said in a press release. “This proposal is contrary to the obvious communities of interest within the Comox Valley and the Sunshine Coast.

“I understand that the commission’s task was a difficult one, but in the end they were solving a Lower Mainland problem at the expense of Vancouver Island.

“I felt that the best way to address the problem was to collaborate with the affected MPs on Vancouver Island and the Mainland.”

The redistribution pro-posed by the BCEBC leaves the part of Courtenay east of the Courtenay and Punt-ledge rivers, and Comox, Comox Valley Regional District Areas B and C in Vancouver Island North. The other part of Courte-

nay, Cumberland and Area A would transfer to the Nanaimo-Alberni riding.

In Duncan’s proposal, the parts of Cumberland and Area A north of the Comox Valley Parkway would remain in Vancouver Island North, while the sec-tions south of the Parkway would move to Courtenay-Alberni.

“I think it’s responding to what people have asked,” said Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula, noting the initial proposal was to cut Courtenay in half and have two MPs. “No matter how you do it, you’re not going to make everybody happy. This is probably in the long-run better.”

“It was bound to happen to one of the communities,” Cumberland Mayor Leslie Baird said. “I’m not sure how it would be for Cum-berland to be in such a large area with so many communities.”

She is concerned about a proposed boundary line that bisects the village.

“I know there’s not much development out there now, but that’s our future growth. And this is sup-posed to be for 20 years.

“I’m trying to find out what this means for Cum-berland. Do we get two MPs?,” Baird added.

Duncan said the com-mission will consider the committee report and then finalize the electoral boundaries which will be in place for the 2015 federal election. The final report should be concluded in Sep-tember.

The report is avail-able at www.parl.gc.ca/Content/HOC/Commit-tee/411/PROC/Reports/RP6190719 /411_proc_Rpt58_PDF/411_proc_Rpt58-e.pdf.

Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver executive chef Ned Bell will cele-brate his 40th birthday this month by putting the rubber to the road for a cause he believes in.

On June 12 — the morning of his birthday — Bell will set off on a 900-kilometre bicycle trip across Vancouver Island with the goal of increasing awareness about the sustainabil-ity of our food system.

He concludes the journey this Saturday at the BC Shellfish Festival in Comox.

A longtime sup-porter of local farmers, fishermen, artisans and food producers of all kinds, Bell’s focus has recently become more tightly honed on making food choices that help improve the health of our oceans, lakes and rivers.

In what he calls a “life highlight,” Bell worked with a dedi-cated team to draw a crowd of more than 500 people to the May 3 celebration that sup-ported the creation of a National Sustainable Seafood Day.

Dr. David Suzu-ki participated as the event’s keynote speak-er, along with Barton Seaver, the director of the Sustainable Food Program at Harvard’s School of Public Health and National Geo-graphic fellow.

Dr. John Nightin-gale, president and CEO of the Vancouver Aquarium, has singled out Bell as an individ-ual making a positive difference against the grave threat of over-

fishing. Dr. Nightingale noted that Bell’s “spir-ited efforts in helping us conserve our oceans is leading change in the culinary landscape, one dish at a time.”

Bell’s ride also

marks the culmination of two years of work on his personal health and wellness, an effort that has included many kilometres logged road biking and running marathons. The start

of a new decade in his life has the well-known chef thinking bigger, broader and bolder than ever before.

“It’s amazing to see what can be accom-plished if you are real-

ly committed to change for the better,” says the fit and focused chef. “I am honoured and hum-bled by the immense support that I’ve been given for this ride, in particular from the

sponsors, supporters and my family.”

Follow Bell’s journey on Facebook and at #chefsforoceans jour-ney on Twitter.

Chef ending two-wheel odyssey at Shellfish Fest

ON JUNE 15 at the BC Shellfish Festi-val in Comox, chef Ned Bell will end a 900-kilometre cycle to raise awareness about the sustain-ability of our food system.

Sgt. Robin Rich-ardson was one of 12 deserving Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members chosen for the CAF Recognition Program and present-ed with a Chief of the Defence Staff Com-mendation for deeds or activities beyond the demand of normal duty.

Richardson recently received a decoration for bravery, the Star of Courage, awarded for a mission in 2009 during which he and two other Search and Rescue Technicians parachut-ed on the semi-frozen ice in Hudson Bay in the performance of their duties. He con-tinues to excel in the Search and Rescue Technician profession.

The Okanagan Falls native, posted to 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron in Comox, visited Ottawa from May 31 to June 3 to receive this honour and take part in sev-eral events.

Members took part in the Walk/Run in Red, toured the Cana-dian War Museum and attended a spe-cial brunch hosted by

Chief Petty Officer 1st Class Robert Cléroux, Canadian Forces Chief

Warrant Officer. They were also recognized in the House of Commons during Question Period on June 3.

Richardson gradu-ated from Royal Mili-tary College in 1999 as an infantry officer with a bachelor degree in chemical and material engineering. Following his infantry training, he joined the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry in Win-nipeg.

After two tours in Bosnia, he was trans-ferred to the Royal Westminster Regiment in Vancouver. In 2007, he resigned his com-

mission to enter the Search and Rescue Technician trade as a non-commissioned member.

Following the basic Search and Rescue Technician course, he was posted to 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron in Winni-peg, which is the same squadron his grand-father served with in Burma during the Sec-ond World War.

He was subsequent-ly promoted to ser-geant and posted to CFB Comox with 442 Squadron.

COMOX VALLEY RECORD

The sixth annual BC Boomer’s Bike Ride, a two-day fund-raising event with 100 participating cyclists, is scheduled to start this Friday at 8 a.m. at the main gate of CFB Comox.

Cyclists will stay overnight at the Brig-adier D.R. Sergeant Armoury in Nanai-mo and will finish at approximately 5 p.m. on Saturday at the legislative grounds in Victoria.

The scenic 240-km trip along the beauti-ful coast of Vancouver

Island, is an emotion-al journey of honour, awareness and remem-brance for the 100 cyclists.

Each participant has made a commitment to raise a minimum of $300 for Boomer’s Legacy humanitarian projects at home and abroad — with a goal of raising $40,000 col-lectively at this year’s BC Ride. The cyclists, escorted by volunteer RCMP officers, will commemorate the sac-rifice of Canadian Forc-es fallen soldiers with photos and bios of sol-

diers on their bicycles. The event will kick

off Friday at 8:45 a.m. with an opening cer-emony at the Courte-nay Civic Cemetery,

with all Comox Valley local governments rep-resented.

A welcoming cere-mony in Victoria at the end of the ride will be presided over by Rear Admiral Truelove of Maritime Force Pacific/Joint Task Force Pacif-ic.

A moving Ceremo-ny for Fallen Soldiers will take place at the Lieut.-Gen. Ashton Armoury on Satur-day at 8 p.m. in Vic-toria, attended by the Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, the Honourable Judith Guichon.

Boomer’s Lega-cy Foundation is a 100-per-cent Canadian charitable organization created in 2006. The catalyst for its begin-ning was the death of Cpl. Andrew (Boomer) Eykelenboom, son of Maureen Eykelen-boom, who was killed in action, in Spin Bol-dak, Afghanistan in

August 2006.In Boomer’s honour,

the goal of Boomer’s Legacy is to empower all deployed Canadian Forces soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen with raised and donat-ed funds, thus helping them to help others and provide much-needed humanitarian assistance to people wherever and when-ever Canadian Forces members are deployed.

Since 2006, over $830,000 has been raised by Boomer’s Legacy for the Boom-er’s Trust Fund.

The funds raised have made a signifi-cant humanitarian impact.

Projects to date include the provision of medical care for the impoverished, life-saving surgeries for children, clothing and shoes for orphaned children, funding of a midwife program, pur-chasing school sup-

plies, and supporting Women and Children’s Centres.

Talk about waterThe Comox Lake

watershed is the drink-ing water source for 40,000 residents of the Comox Valley.

It’s health is at risk from a variety of threats, including industrial logging, pro-posed coal mining, res-idential development and unmanaged public access and recreational use.

A proposal to pro-tect water quality, eco-logical values, public access and support sustainable use in the Comox Lake Water-shed was released this spring by Comox Valley Conservation Strategy (CVCS) Community Partnership.

Program manager David Stapley will present this proposal at the next Comox Val-ley Council of Canadi-ans meeting.

The protection of drinking watersheds is becoming increasingly important on Vancou-ver Island.

Shawnigan Lake is fighting a proposed con-taminated soil dump in their watershed. In 2012, Cowichan Lake faced a shortage that could have imperilled their drinking water and sewage treatment, as well as endangering the annual salmon run. Just this spring, unsea-sonably low water lev-els in Comox Lake prompted concerns about fish habitat.

If something is not done to protect our drinking water and the ecology of the water-shed, the Comox Valley Regional District may have to spend up to $32 million to build a drinking water treat-

ment plant. Communities across

B.C. are coming to terms with the need to protect and manage their drinking water sources. A local pub-lic watershed author-ity with the ability to develop and implement an ecologically based multi-use management plan could be a good way to start here in the Valley.

These issues will be discussed this Thurs-day from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Evergreen Seniors Lounge at the Flor-ence Filberg Centre in Courtenay.

“Trendiness in the garden is not some-thing I have much time for, but it is fascinating to observe how various enthusiasms ebb and flow through the world of gardening,” says Des Kennedy.

He should know — he’s an award-winning author of numerous books, a TV and radio personality and a pub-lic speaker, all focused on gardening, and he’s been cultivating his own garden with his partner Sandy for over 40 years.

The Kennedys’ glorious garden and fairytale house is fea-tured on this year’s Denman Island Home and Garden Tour, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this Saturday and Sunday.

The Kennedys were instrumental in founding this much-loved event, which has stayed the course while garden fashions have taken root, flourished and then withered — at least for a while.

“Among its other attractions, a long-running event like the Denman Home and Garden Tour offers a fine opportunity to observe these arcane comings and goings,” says Kennedy.

“Back in the ‘70s when we started, it was all about food. Back to the Land, Self-sufficiency, Grow Your Own – we were rich in slogans, even if not in topsoil. Mocked at the time as addle-headed idealists, we ‘new pio-neers’ had a fundamen-

tally sensible ambition — to live healthily by cultivating our own organic fruits, vegeta-bles and livestock.

“At a certain point — for us it was in the late-’80s — the lure of ornamental garden-ing began elbowing its way into the process. The island’s big veg-etable gardens became complemented — in extreme cases, usurped — by equally ambi-tious rose arbours and perennial beds.”

Developments on Denman were mir-rored throughout North America.

“A mania for orna-mental gardening swept across the cul-ture, as it does every few decades. Lawns and tennis courts were torn up and to provide space for splendid new gardens.

“Throughout the ‘90s, glossy new gar-dening magazines

were launched, garden clubs grew exponen-tially, specialty nurs-eries abounded, and gardening television programs were ines-capable.”

The first Denman Island Home and Gar-den Tour took place in 1991, catching the early wave of this boom. Over the next couple of decades, each tour seemed to outflow-er the last one, as gar-deners went all out in pursuit of the greatest varieties of roses, the biggest peonies, rarest varietals, most magi-cal water features, and most beguiling paths.

North America’s love affair with gardening began to wane as busy urbanites got tired out from all the watering, weeding, and pruning.

“Many of the big gar-dening shows stopped happening. Small spe-cialty nurseries tum-bled out of business.

Gardening TV shows dwindled. The glossy magazines either quit or morphed into patio décor advertisements. The bloom was off the rose.”

He and Sandy, like most Denman Island gardeners, watched the transformation but just kept on gardening. On a place like Den-man Island, gardening isn’t really a hobby, it’s a way of life.

“And then another twist,” says Kennedy. “The issue of food secu-rity and sustainability caught the imagination of a new generation of growers. Seedy Satur-days boomed while the dahlia shows faded.

“Like many commu-nities, Denman is now blessed with an influx of smart new garden-ers who are taking the growing of edibles to heights scarcely dreamed of back in the hazy ‘70s.”

The 2013 Denman Island Home & Gar-den Tour will showcase 12 Denman homes and gardens, some right on trend, some charming-ly old-fashioned, but all of them outstanding.

The tour runs Satur-day and Sunday. Tick-ets are sold at www.denmanconservancy.org, Art Knapp’s and Home & Garden Gate in Courtenay, Blue Heron Books in Comox, the Rusty Rooster in Cumberland, or by call-ing 250-335-2148.

The morning of June 3 shone sunny and bright, as the children attending the Brook-lyn Elementary Strong Start program released the butterflies they had raised, in the garden at Glacier View Lodge.

Program co-ordina-tor Maureen Wagner said, “The children have been excitedly waiting for their but-terflies to emerge from their chrysalises. The larvae arrived in early May and we watched as they ate and ate and grew and grew.

“The children did many projects to learn about caterpillars and butterflies. Finally the butterflies emerged and we were ready to release them in the company of our grand-friends at Glacier View Lodge.

“Time to say good-bye. It was an exciting day for both young and old.”

Residents also had a chance to watch some

butterflies emerge from their chrysalises.

“It was a beautiful morning. We were so pleased to have our residents included in this touching moment with our little friends,” said Liz Friis, director of resident lifestyle and community programs.

Bicycle rodeo aids kids

The Comox Val-ley Cycling Coalition (CVCC) recently con-ducted a bike rodeo for Grade 5 students at Robb Road Elementary School.

The CVCC has wanted to help kids stay safe on bikes and increase the number of kids riding bikes on a daily basis.

According to Mrs. Dawson, one of the organizers, in just over a year the CVCC has organized and run 15 Bike Safe Rodeos at 11 elementary schools in the Comox Valley with about 1,200 students participating and more than 200 adults volun-teering their time to help at these events.

Students said the volunteers worked really hard to teach kids to be safe on the road and to help the environment. They learned things like rid-ing with the flow of traffic in a straight line and far enough away from cars so as not to get hit by opening doors, how to ride a fig-ure eight, and the use of hand signals.

“The bike rodeo has helped me stay safe and encouraged me to get on my bike more often,” said a Grade 5 student at the school.

Miss McLaughlin said the whole expe-rience was “great and super-well organized!”

The Comox Val-ley Cycling Coalition really went above and beyond with their lat-est bike rodeo. This has inspired kids to ride to school by teaching them the rules of the road. — Robb Road

THE ARTS 10 TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 2013 COMOX VALLEY RECORD

ELEVATING THE ARTS For five days, the second Elevate the Arts festival raised the energy level in downtown Courtenay. The museum, art galleries, cafés and even alleyways were full of music, art, crafts and many other kinds of creativity. PHOTOS BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

Elevate the Arts

Thursday night jazz normally features art-ists from our region of Vancouver Island — with one notable excep-tion that is becoming a lovely tradition: Jen-nifer Scott and Rene Worst.

When the Vancou-ver Olympics were scheduled in 2010, the Georgia Straight Jazz Society received a request from Scott and Worst.

They wanted to play a Thursday night concert in Courtenay, because they wanted to escape from the mad-ness of Vancouver. The result was one of the most memorable jazz evenings, where two of Canada’s jazz greats, played “for the hat” before a packed house. It was so success-ful that they made a repeat appearance last year; again to a capac-ity audience.

Well, Jennifer and Rene are back by (their) request for a fourth consecutive year. We are honoured to have them on the Avalanche Bar and Grill stage at 7:30 p.m.

Scott is a singer and pianist born in Vancou-ver. She specializes in jazz, blues, and world music. She is consid-ered one of the more important jazz artists working in Canada and the United States today.

As well as being a performer, she arrang-es and writes jazz and pop tunes, with sev-

eral CDs containing a combination of original tunes, tunes she has arranged, and more traditional tunes.

Worst has been a professional bassist since 1971. His virtuo-sic playing has been a Canadian treasure for many years on both acoustic and electric basses.

He is as gifted on fretless as he is on acoustic — a rarity in the industry. Rene was educated in Canada

and the U.S. For a sampler, visit

www.jenniferscott.ca and listen to the MP3 tracks.

Volunteers and cor-porate members are reminded that volun-teer appreciation com-mences at 5:30 p.m. Food will be served.

Book deals with gluten

Come to the Comox Library on June 12 at 2 p.m. to hear how m o t h e r - d a u g h t e r team Heidi and Alex Lochmatter started a baking business after finding out their hus-band and father, Fred, was much healthier following a diet free of gluten, soy and dairy products.

Instead of crumbly, unsatisfying products that use a confusing array of flour mixes, Heidi and Alex devel-oped a single flour mix that is gluten-free and can be used in any of their recipes. They developed recipes especially for break-fasts, including waffles, crepes and scones — the meals that people miss most when they go gluten-free.

Heidi sells her bak-ing every Saturday at the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market.

This is a free event that all are welcome to attend. For more infor-mation drop by the library at 1720 Beau-fort Ave., call 250-339-2971 or visit www.virl.bc.ca.

Jackson guest of Jilli Martini

Lynn Jack-son (Busted Flat Records) has been releasing an album a year since 2004 and has just released Down in the Dust a beautiful collec-tion of alt-country stories ranging from reflective tales of life and love to more h e a d y tales of the Mexi-can drug war. The w a r m a c o u s t i c tones of the pedal s t e e l , banjo, and u p r i g h t bass allow J a c k s o n room to flex her h i g h , h u s h e d r e g i s t e r and reveal a voice that’s less a country girl’s than it is a mature, even sultry woman’s.

This album sees Jackson, who vis-its the Zocalo Café on June 13, return to her roots-Ameri-cana form after the more-poppy Coming Down (2010), with rave reviews from All Music.com, Pen-guin Eggs, CBC and more.

An authentic-ity runs through

Canadian singer-songwriter Jackson’s music that reflects a deep commitment to telling stories that ring true with listeners. Combine this with her gentle voice, rich instru-mentation and sweet melodies and you get

a sound that is r o o t s -A m e r i -cana with a hint of folk-pop.

Having s h a r e d s t a g e s with Ron Sexsmith, F r e d E a g l e -s m i t h and Luke D o u c e t , Ja ck s o n just fin-ished her sixth stu-dio album Down in the Dust ( B u s t -ed Flat

Records, Fall 2012).Down in the

Dust sees Jackson take her cues from Lucinda Williams, Kathleen Edwards and Eliza Gilkyson, using her whiskey and honey voice to mix her timeless melodies while spin-ning yarns about love, loss and every-day people.

Tripp Tease delights hometown fans with winEarle CouperRecord Staff

It was a triumphant homecoming for Tripp Tease, the Comox Valley entry in the 2013 Black Press Van Isle 360 Interna-tional Yacht Race.

After a rough first leg Saturday, Tripp Tease sailed into Comox harbour Sunday afternoon with a first place finish in Division 1 of the round-the-Island race.

The Don Gillingham-skippered Tripp Tease earned 35 points to runner-up White Cloud’s 30. White Cloud was the overall Divi-sion 1 leader after the sec-ond leg (French Creek to Comox) of the 10-leg race with 55 points. Raven is second with 48, Time Ban-dit third with 46 and Tripp Tease fourth with 44.

“We won our division. We won it hands down. It was a good day for us,” said Andrew Walther, com-modore of the host Comox Bay Sailing Club and Tripp Tease crew member.

“The key was having a good start, obviously. It’s one of the most important things of a race,” Walther said at Sunday night’s awards presentations.

“Sailboat racing is about bringing a whole bunch of aspects together at the same time. If you miss one it can cost you, if you miss another thing it can cost

you. Today we just had everything dialled in,” Wal-ther said.

“We had our tactics dialled in in. We had a good start. We had our crew work and we had the sail choices and the set-up of the boat. Good strategy and good tactics and everything was just perfect. It’s one of those rare occasions to have everything go well – and maybe a little bit of luck – just a little bit though. Don’t tell the skipper I said that,” Walther chuckled.

“We didn’t do so well on the first leg, so it is nice to come to the hometown with a win,” he added.

After a French toast breakfast Monday morning put on by the Comox Rotary Club (with food provided by Quality Food) the 40-plus fleet set sail at 9 a.m. on the third leg, which stopped in Campbell River. The 580 nautical mile race started June 8 in Nanaimo and concludes there on June 21.

Looking ahead, Walther said conditions for the next few legs were forecast to be favourable for Tripp Tease. “Our boat goes well in cer-tain conditions. Conditions for the next several days are similar to what we had today and those are the conditions the Tripp Tease likes to go in. We’re hoping to do well, but there are no guarantees.”

Jeff Motley of Blast Performance Sailing (the

event’s lead organizer) MC-d the awards in Comox Marina Park. He thanked the Comox Bay Sailing Club for their hard work in hosting the race.

He noted the three marinas in the basin had donated their moorage fees of $1,700 to BC Children’s Foundation for Children’s Hospital.

Motley said the Van Isle 360 chose two groups to support. One is the Royal Marine Search and Rescue and the other is partnering with BC Sailing to boost youth sailing.

To that end, sponsors and skippers partnered with the Comox Bay Sail Club’s sailing school to pur-chase an Opti boat, a fun sailboat for young sailors to learn on.

FINISH LINES Comox Mayor Paul Ives was at the awards ceremony to wel-come participants … win-ners received bottles of rum for their efforts … Drag-onfly (first across the fin-ish line Sunday) leads the Multihulls division while Westerly is leading the Big Boat division …. updated results and standings are at www.vanisle360.com … to follow Tripp Tease, check out the ship’s blog at tripp-tease.wordpress.com … this is the first year Black Press has been the title sponsor for the race, which is run every two years ...

THE INAUGURAL B.C. Provincial Youth Road Cycling Champion-ships were held June 8-9 in the Comox Valley, with competi-tors vying for titles in road race, hill climb, criterium (at right) and overall. The host Vancouver Island Performance Youth Racing Squad (VIPYRS) had overall champs in Mark Grant (U15 boys) and Jessica Reynolds (U15 girls). Watch for more details in Thurs-day’s Record sports.

Pets Remembered“And can it be that in a world so full and busy the loss of one creature makes a void so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up.” Charles Dickens

Chum… the Gentle Giant whose paw prints will forever remain on thousands of hearts around the world... passed away April 26, 2013.Chum began her life in Black Creek as a friendly and much loved puppy. True to her breed, Chum spent many hours rescuing frogs from her garden pond and pulling children out of the water who she felt needed saving. Chum grew to be a beautiful, loving and loyal companion. Throughout her thirteen-month ordeal that made her fa-mous, Chum’s sweet and gentle nature never waned. She loved being with people, greeting everyone with affection and displaying a special affinity for children. It was pure joy to spend time with her. When Chum was permanently released and reunited with her lifelong mate Champ we all celebrated but it was short-lived. For many months during her forced incarceration by the CVRD, Chum had suffered with bone cancer that had fractured her leg bone and spread to her lungs; a condition that remained untreated for the duration of her time in custody. She tolerated the isolation and pain with a quiet dignity so characteristic of the Newfoundland breed. Chum’s spirit shone bright until the end and we will miss her dearly. Chum has returned to the Comox Valley. Her ashes will be laid to rest with her beloved mother, Edith Manseau, who fought so bravely to save Chum’s life.

Ties remain one of the top gift ideas for men, particularly when Father’s Day arrives. They’re also staples of gifting at other times during the year.

Despite the emer-gence of casual, dress-down days in the workplace, ties remain popular and practical gifts. They are a go-to fashion choice for dressing up a wardrobe and espe-cially prized for special events and to denote rank within organiza-tions.

As commonplace as ties may be, cer-tain facts surrounding their use and origin are widely unknown. Here are eight fun facts about the neck-tie.

1. The original peo-ple to wear neckties were soldiers in the Croatian army. The silk scarf tie was rec-ognized as an elite symbol.

2. The first name given to the tie was “cravat.”

3. Ties weren’t always fashion sym-bols. Roughly 300 years ago, the English

developed neckwear so thick it could be used to protect against a sword thrust. Today it is possible to buy a bulletproof tie.

4. Stripes on a British tie run from top left to bottom right,

while the stripes on American ties go in the opposite direction.

5. The bolo tie is the official tie of the state of Arizona.

6. Many of today’s ties are produced in China.

7. The city of Shengzhou is one of the world’s largest tie producers, exporting more than 200 million ties worldwide.

8. A person who col-lects ties is known as a “grabatologist.”

Father’s Day is the perfect moment to demonstrate the love and respect you feel for a father, father- in-law, grandfather, husband, or even a man on the verge of becom-ing a father for the first time. Spending some quality time together is always a sure-fire way to please him, and a little surprise gift can do no harm either. Here are a few ideas to inspire you. If the father in question has

a passion or a hobby, it shouldn’t be too dif-ficult to find a suitable gift.

Fishing fans will be happy to receive accessories for their favourite pastime, while outdoor enthusi-asts will love the latest weather-proof gear to use on the trails.

For those who love movies, video games, or music the options are practically infinite. Just be sure to do a bit of detective work first

so you don’t duplicate any of his recent pur-chases!

Why not give a hi-tech gift to a father who’s always interest-ed in the latest gadgets at the electronics store?

You could celebrate the wonderful times you’ve spent together by giving him a digital photograph frame filled with photos of trips you’ve taken or fam-ily shots that will bring back wonderful memo-ries.

If you have a bit of a budget, it’s a sure bet that he’ll love showing off the latest tablet to work colleagues and friends.

If you’d like to help him find ways to relax and enjoy life, you’re sure to find a wide range of skincare and relaxation products specifically designed for men. What a great occasion to encourage this wonderful man to finally take a little time for himself.

Some useful items to have on hand:

- Sufficient change- Calculator - Supplies to make

Tips For a Successful Garage Sale

Ground Control Café, a new summer kiosk service by On the Fly Café, is open-ing at the Comox Val-ley Airport. The kiosk will offer fresh brewed coffee, tea, juice, fresh fruit, sandwiches and baked goods for depart-ing passengers in the YQQ hold room daily from 1:30 to 3 p.m. throughout the sum-mer months.

“Recent customer surveys told us that passengers were seek-ing additional food and beverage services in the boarding lounge at YQQ,” said airport CEO Fred Bigelow.

“We worked co-operatively with On the Fly Café to answer that request and we’re hopeful this will add to the overall positive experience that 94 per cent of passengers reported having at our airport.”

The café will allow those passengers booked on WestJet flight 304 to Edmon-ton, Pacific Coastal flight 709 to Vancouver

and Central Mountain Air flight 599 to Van-couver to purchase food and beverages for con-sumption at the airport or on board the aircraft once they have cleared security.

Beginning June 29, the service will also be provided to passen-gers travelling onboard WestJet’s early morn-ing flight to Calgary, which departs daily at 6 a.m. throughout the summer.

“We’ve previously had great success with offering early morn-ing coffee services to passengers in the boarding lounge and it made sense to look at expanding that service for those passengers travelling closer to the lunch hour,” said Jack-ie Blocka, co-owner of On the Fly Café.

“We’re hopeful that our new kiosk service aptly named Ground Control will perform well and allow us to explore offering addi-

tional services in the boarding lounge out-side of the summer months.”

“This is a fantastic example of a tenant at the airport work-ing actively with us to improve the passen-ger experience,” Big-elow said. “We are so pleased to support this new service as part of our ongoing quest to make YQQ the first choice for passengers looking to enter or exit northern Vancouver Island.”

New café summer hours at YQQ:

On the Fly Café (main terminal area): Daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Ground Control Café (boarding lounge): Daily from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

Beginning June 29:On the Fly Café

Building Links cel-ebrated its 20 year anniversary on May 29, along with 75 other guests at Crown Isle.

Building Links start-ed as a home-based business by Clarice Coty and published its first edition on May 17, 1993.

The business now distributes a newslet-ter weekly to subscrib-ers around Vancouver Island, B.C. and Alber-ta. The magazine fol-lows new construction and reports weekly on new tenders, build-ing permits, proposed development and industry news.

The company moved from its home-based office to an office at 2459 Cousins Rd. in Courtenay in 2010.

Now employing six people, Building Links has grown to

offer online advertis-ing through its newly launched website.

“We really enjoyed our trip down memory lane at our anniver-

sary event,” Coty said. “A lot has changed over 20 years, but the

important things stay the same – we wouldn’t be where we are today without our loyal cli-ents, devoted staff, and

the support of family and friends.

Record Question of the Week

Dear editor,Re: Comox Valley Record June

3 editorial “Road for coal mine project will be long and winding.”

I would like to take issue with the premise in the recent Record editorial, that the recent rejection of the Raven Coal Mine Application is a validation of the process that has been questioned or maligned by opponents of the proposed mine.

To date, the current review process has failed to incorporate the requests made in motions by all of our local governments, that called for an independent review

panel with public hearings. This rejection of the Raven

Coal Mine Application should in no way validate a review process that does not reflect the requests of our local governments.

I don’t see the application rejection as a validation of a rigorous review process, but rather view the rejection as an indictment of Compliance Coal Corporation’s competency and credibility going forward.

Considering the fact that Compliance played a pivotal role in formulating the Application Information Requirements (AIR),

they had full knowledge of what information was required, and still submitted an application which the EAO considered not to have adequately addressed major information requirements.

The rejection of the Raven mine application highlights why Compliance has been unable to obtain “social licence” from the residents of the Comox Valley and Port Alberni. For many of us, Compliance’s assurances and predictions on the Raven Coal Mine Project are neither credible or attainable. John Snyder,

Fanny Bay

Don McRae’s new cabinet post can be interpret-ed as a demotion or a reprieve.

The Comox Valley MLA was one of only two Liberals on Vancouver Island to rise above the NDP tide in the election.

Considering that and the fact he has held two portfolios in his young provincial political career, it would have been a shock had Premier Christy Clark not returned McRae to cabinet.

In a larger, 19-person cabinet, he will head the renamed Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, not the Ministry of Education he led heading into the election.

Ignoring the tiresome spin and sell job in Clark’s wording of McRae’s job description, he will “continue efforts to assist people with disabilities earn an income.”

That’s a noble objective, but it’s a step down from the high-profile education portfolio, which has one of the biggest budgets in government.

McRae presided over an awkward school year notable for job action yet again by the BC Teach-ers’ Federation followed by more cooling-off legis-lation from the government.

After that expires at the end of this month, Clark is expected to push for the 10-year contract with the BCTF she trumpeted before the election.

Echoing the law of physics about an equal and opposite reaction to every action, the BCTF is expected to return to the same old dreary trench warfare B.C. has seen many times before.

McRae is earnest and likeable, the kind of opponent the battle-hardened BCTF snacks on before the first recess bell rings.

Clark instead appointed new MLA Peter Fass-bender, a former Langley mayor with a reputation for being tough.

Considering how strife-filled BCTF contract negotiations usually are, the premier might have done McRae a favour.

Besides, his experience as a teacher is a double-edged sword. While it gives him credibility, it also raises BCTF hopes unrealistically and might cause his fellow Liberals to fret that he might be soft on his former colleagues.

Mine math does not add upDear editor,There are many issue about

the Raven coal mine proposal including the issues brought for-ward by the Liberal government.

However when people, in opposition to development, put forward non-rational arguments you have to wonder if they are helping or hindering their cause

Mike Bell told us we “...can do the math.” So I did.

Mike said the waste from the Raven Coal Mine “will be the size of a 500-storey building spread over an area the size of Cana-dian football field.”

A Canadian football field is 110 yards long or 330 feet. It is 65 yards wide or 195 feet. Most people say a building storey is 10 feet. In tall buildings the sto-reys actually are more than 10 feet high, but to keep the math simple I used 10 feet.

So, according to Mike, the Raven coal mine will produce a pile of waste 330 feet by 195 feet wide and 5,000 feet tall or almost a mile high. So it would be slightly wider than the CN tower (,1815 feet tall, 218.4 feet wide) but 2.5 times taller.

Almost as tall as the CN

Tower, on top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, on top of Great Pyra-mid of Giza, which altogether would total 5,017 feet.

As that would easily be the tallest freestanding structure in the world, Vancouver Island would get millions of tourists coming to view the most incred-ible rock stacking ever.

I think if Compliance Energy Corporation can stack rock with that kind of precision they should be allowed to have the coal mine.

Nina Usherwood,Comox

Who says roundabouts don’t work?Dear editor,If I may add some facts to the

discussion about roundabouts, may I suggest that those who say “Roundabouts in high-traffic areas don’t work” supply some proof to back up their state-ments.

I would suggest that naysay-ers, if they are able, should travel on the M6 motorway in England. At almost all exits one encounters a roundabout, usually

of two lanes, which then direct off-ramp traffic north, south, east or west onto lesser roads.

Driving up the M6 to Wolverhampton, which I’ve done twice for example, you will encounter several multi-lane roundabouts with as many as five or six exits. British traffic is far more intense than at Ryan and Lerwick.

Also, the Brits create round-abouts at small crossroads by

the simple expedient of painting a six-foot diameter circle in the centre of the road, along with pause lines and signage.

No sand-filled oil drum in the middle either. And, no four-way stop signs like the traffic chokers in Comox.

I would suggest that City traf-fic engineers get on the Internet and study Britain’s road system.

www.comoxvalleyrecord.com OPINION COMOX VALLEY RECORD • Tuesday, June 11, 2013 33

Could Islandia be a country?

Dear editor,A couple of comments on three current

issues:I recently heard a suggestion that

Vancouver Island become a separate province. It’s a brilliant idea, which I really think we should consider working towards. Our island has a larger population than either the provinces of New Brunswick or Newfoundland/Labrador, and around five times the population of PEI.

B.C. is a big and varied province geo-graphically and the population is growing very quickly, and thus it would make sense for it to be divided into two. Many issues affecting us here on the island are not rele-vant to inhabitants so far away on the other side of the province, and it would be excel-lent for us to have representation for our own interests.

Do others feel the same? If so, how could we go about it?

On a different subject, the possibility of a roundabout at Ryan and Lerwick.

Great idea, once everyone has mastered the rules of roundabouts, in particular that drivers on the actual roundabout circle have the right of way, as opposed to those who are trying to enter into the roundabout circle.

It’s a ridiculous idea that there isn’t room for one, it’s a spacious intersection without buildings close to the roads (yet) and plenty of lanes already.

Having spent a number of years in Eng-land, I can vouch that roundabouts are safe and keep traffic moving. However, if a roundabout is decided upon, please please please get a consultant from Europe to design the thing!

Whoever designed the one on Cumber-land Road obviously doesn’t understand the flow idea and in particular the shape required for the road entrances and exits.

Traffic is supposed to feed in and flow out of the circle, which it cannot at the Cum-berland roundabout with awkward curbs to negotiate sticking out at odd angles.

And re: parking at the new hospital.What a crazy, tiny place to put such a

facility, and with no option for later expan-sion either. And unbelievable that none of the highly paid consultants foresaw the obvious parking problems.

If they choose to charge for hospital park-ing, I along with so many others will be parking elsewhere and walking: e.g. Home Depot, Thrifty plaza, the college, residential areas, and the Aquatic Centre.

I do hope a very large parkade with free parking is already in the hospital plans. Given the site that’s been chosen, in the midst of malls, future commercial develop-ment, community service complexes, and residential areas, it is the only option that can be sensibly considered.

S. Joy,Merville

Just say no to GMO propagandaDear editor,I couldn’t hold my

tongue any longer. After reading Lorne Hepworth’s letter to the editor (Record, June 4) edition of the Record I became angry!

I am just a regular guy with no agenda, who happens to have a passion for healthy food and supporting the local economy. After breaking free of the industrial food system, I have lost 50 pounds, regained my health and quality of life.

My eyes were opened to the atro-cious agricultural model several years ago, and I can’t stand having a biotech lobby group stating such bla-

tant lies in our local paper.

I wish to encour-age people, especially in an area where we are blessed with such diversity in our local food shed, to smarten up and to stop sup-porting the huge chemical companies that are essentially calling the shots in the food we consume.

I would like to clear up a few things for folks who may not understand what is going on. I am no sci-entist, but I do under-stand how the natural world works.

GMO (genetically modified organisms) foods are not food. They have been altered in a laboratory, at a genetic level, by

people in white coats. Now if there were

people in lab coats selling tomatoes at the farmers’ market, good chance they would not have a very successful

business.These seeds are

sold (marketed) to the farmers by the won-ders of the seed being herbicide-resistant and the ability to be sprayed with Round-Up to kill all the weeds (which aren’t actually weeds, but pioneer species trying to rebuild damaged systems) so the prod-uct will have less com-petition.

The chemical com-pany also says the

herbicide is inert once it hits the soil. I call a big BS on that claim!

The claim by CropLife that not till-ing is good for the soil is true, but spraying

pesticides and herbi-cides in definitely not!

Soil that is treated right is full of amaz-ing life, minerals, and beneficial beings. Our soils are so depleted that the food we get from a mono-culture is essentially dead.

Couple this killed earth with top soil loss from erosion and the catastrophic col-lapse of bee colonies, the food system as we know it is doomed.

I am also very con-

cerned with animals being fed GMO feeds.

Cows are unnatu-rally fed GMO corn and soy in horrible conditions in concen-trated animal feeding operations (CAFO), getting sick and fed anti-biotic.

What is changing inside their bodies that are detrimental to our heath? The stress hormones course through the animals blood streams, passing on the consumer.

We must get ani-mals back onto the pasture, locking in car-bon, building soil and creating the safest, healthiest and sustain-able food possible.

Take charge of you own life; don’t listen to the advertisements. Only you can fix this, and if enough of us fix ourselves then the awful situation will change.

Study visionary if it’s just 1913

Dear editor,While some resi-

dents of the Comox Valley were attend-ing a talk by Gwynne Dyer at Isfeld School recently, others were at the City of Cour-tenay Transportation Plan open house at the Filberg Centre.

While Dyer was documenting the loom-ing crises connected with climate change, consultants to the city were presenting plans for $96 million worth (not including the cost of land acquisition and utilities changes, and in 2012 dollars) of road developments to facilitate increased automobile travel.

While lip service was paid to alterna-tive modes of travel by the heading “A 25-year vision for multimodal transportation,” the only alternative proj-ect identified was wid-ening the sidewalks of downtown Courtenay for a cost of $200,000.

While a $5-million addition to the Lewis Centre is built, the neighbourhoods around downtown Courtenay (a potentially walkable, bikable, livable environment if ever there was one) have inadequate bike lanes and sidewalks, and visible, ugly evidence of infrastructure neglect.

While we have had forward-looking pre-sentations sponsored by the City — the Gil Peñalosa lecture on achievable plans for serious “multimodal transportation” carried out in cities around the world being one — the plan offered May 23 would have been visionary in 1913, not 2013.

You can see the plan (the display boards page is an abbreviated version) on the City’s website. Take a look!

Roy Hemmerich, 16, of Comox and Lewis Jeon, 13, of Courtenay, are back from the War Amps 2013 BC Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Vancouver.

The seminar brought together child amputees from across the province while also honouring the association’s 95th anniversary.

Roy was born a right arm amputee, while Lewis was born miss-ing his right hand.

They attended the three-day seminar, which included ses-sions on the latest developments in arti-ficial limbs, parenting an amputee child and dealing with teasing and bullying. The open-ing session paid trib-

ute to the long history of the War Amps, and its continuing legacy of “amputees helping amputees.”

Roy was a junior counsellor to the younger Champs, act-ing as a role model and offering advice. He was also presented with a CHAMP Ambassador Certificate for educat-ing the public about the War Amps through a recent media inter-view.

A highlight was the

Amputees in Action session, where Champs demonstrated their standard and recre-ational artificial limbs and devices to the group. Roy showed his

mountain biking device while Lewis showed a device that allows him to hold onto a skipping rope.

CHAMP is funded solely through pub-

lic support of the War Amps key tag and address label service. For more information, call 1-800-250-3030 or visit waramps.ca.
