There was a little more adventure than usual for some competitors in this years Atmosphere Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) in Cumberland.

Some of the top teams missed a turn and got a little bit lost, and so a handful of teams had to bush-whack their way back to the trail or buchwacked the wrong way, said MOMAR director Bryan Tasaka.

No cars, no problem on this one Sunday

Scott Stanfield Record Staff

Rain wasnt going to ruin this parade.

Following a morning down-pour, the skies cleared Sunday afternoon for the inaugural Car Free Sunday in downtown Cour-tenay and Cumberland where pedestrians, rollerbladers, cyclists and skateboarders could roam the streets and not contend with vehicular traffic.

In keeping with a worldwide celebration, the Imagine Comox Valley-event included vendors, workshops, art, music, street the-atre, street sports and forums.

About 500 people attended at the peak of the afternoon in Cour-tenay, according to Andrew Gower, a director at the non-profit soci-ety.

It was a remarkable success, said Gower, whose band Tin Town performed on Fifth Street. There were people dancing in the streets, literally.

Some merchants moved their businesses outside once the morn-

ing rain eased off.Any time you bring more peo-

ple to the downtown core, thats positive, said Downtown Courte-nay Business Improvement Asso-ciation president Mark Middleton, who walked the Courtenay loop with his parents and two dogs. We had a perfectly enjoyable afternoon...We didnt hear any-thing negative from any of the merchants.

Courtenay shut down a sec-tion encompass-ing Fifth and 16th streets, and McPhee and Fitzgerald ave-nues. In Cumber-land, closures at Dunsmuir, Fourth, Ulverston and Derwent created a figure-eight formation. The event was not held in Comox, where some business owners opposed the idea.

We need to hear from the people in Comox, Gower said. (But) We appreciate people being opposed to this.

He notes a couple of road rage incidents in Courtenay, one involv-ing a driver who almost ran over a cyclist on a closed route.

Thats unacceptable, Gower said. Thats something for the police to deal with...But even with that, it was a success.

Although it can be a tall order

asking a community to wrap its head around street closures, Cum-berland Chamber of Commerce president Meaghan Cursons said most people took no issue with the event.

The vibe was very high. Cum-berland is good at closing streets, Cursons said. I thought a lit-tle bit of the confusion was good because it forced us to rethink things that we are completely automatic about, like where we

drive and where we walk.

She notes s p o n t a n e o u s interaction does not happen when we use vehicles to go from point A to B.

The best part was seeing kids in the middle of the street, said Cursons, whose family took more than an hour to walk two blocks from downtown to home because they kept running into familiar faces. We played a game of euchre at the corner of Penrith and Fourth.

The Cumberland event featured music at the Wandering Moose, a roller derby demonstration, a climbing wall and a bike rodeo at Village Park.

Cursons expects a Cumber-land team will help organize next years event.

We learned a lot of lessons,

said Gower, noting the need for tighter traffic control at key inter-sections and better signage.

Organizers also need to deter-mine how to better reach the pub-lic, despite spreading the word through newspapers, leaflets and the Imagine Comox Valley web-site.

There were still people who didnt even know it was going on, said Gower, who notes the afternoon was not meant to be an anti-car event.

Ironically, he put about 100 kilometres on his truck driving between Courtenay and Cumber-land.

I drive a 4x4 pickup, Gower said. I think its great. But at the same time its nice to go play on the streets and feel safe. I have a six-year-old. I hate riding my bike with him around town. So yester-day I could just let go. Ride your bike, stay inside the barricades and have fun...You take people outside their cars, its amazing what happens.

More than 1,500 communities around the world were expected to celebrate World Car Free Day this year.

Gower encourages community feedback about the local event.

It was a remark-able success. There were people dancing in the streets, literally.

Comox Valleys first Car Free Sunday goes ahead in Courtenay, Cumberland in spite of downpour

Erin HaluschakRecord Staff

It may have start-ed earlier than usual, but storm season hit Vancouver Island and the Comox Valley on Monday with a forceful introduction.

Environment Cana-da reported wind gusts at the Comox weather station as high as 91 km/h around 1 p.m., and many areas of the Valley were without power and some BC Ferry sailings out of Comox were cancelled.

(The storm) was not usual its about a month early, said John McIntyre, meteorolo-gist with Environment Canada.

It went from sum-mer to fall in an instant.

McIntyre said the cause of the storm surge that hit the area and the entire Island was a combination of typhoons and storms off the coast of Japan and the Far East as well as a strong low pressure front that slammed the Island.

As of Tuesday morn-ing, both Hornby and Denman islands still remained in the dark, with small pockets in the Valley waiting for their power to return.

The Comox Valley was one of the hard-est hit areas (across the Island), said Karla Louwers, community relations spokesper-son for BC Hydro. At its peak, there were 26,000 customers with-out power on Vancou-

ver Island, and just under 11,000 in the Comox Valley without power.

She added on Tues-day morning, hydro crews were patrolling Denman and Hornby islands with a helicop-ter, as they were hav-ing trouble locating the source of the power outage.

Because of the storm and recent rainfall, BC Hydro will increase the water release from the Comox Dam from approximately 32 cubic metres per second to 110 cubic metres per second.

The increase in the Puntledge River will be in place Friday night through early Monday morning. The planned water release is for flood risk manage-ment and to bring the Comox Lake reservoir level down for future storms.

With strong wind

gusts in the Strait of Georgia, BC Ferries cancelled some sailings in the Comox Valley until conditions sub-sided.

The Queen of Chilli-wack, running between Comox and Powell River, had six of its morning and afternoon sailings cancelled. Service resumed at 7 p.m. Monday, while the MV Kahloke running between Denman and Hornby Island was held in dock at Shingle Spit until 4 p.m.

According to McIn-tyre, the Comox Valley and Vancouver Island is looking at a La Nia pattern for the rest of this year and into the winter season.

This means tem-peratures below nor-mal, with precipitation levels at normal, but when there used to be rain, expect snow, he [email protected]

Tour de Rock donations mount as riders approach

Comox Valley residents Patricia Schultz and Don Latrace share a life expe-rience which may seem unique but, unfortunately, is not.

Twelve years ago, both received a life-changing organ donation.

Schultz developed kidney disease in October 1994, as a result of IgA nephropa-thy, a kidney disorder in which antibodies to a pro-tein called IgA build up in kidney tissue.

Her health progressive-ly worsened, and she was placed on the organ trans-plant list. For three years, Schultz waited for a donor.

In April 1998, Schultz started peritoneal dialysis four times a day for 40 min-utes each time seven days a week.

Unknown to Schultz, most of her eight siblings were being tested to see if they could be a compatible donor. This testing proved

to be a life-saving process for one of her sisters, who discovered that she had pre-cancerous cells.

Another of her sisters proved to be a perfect match to be a donor for Schultz.

I didnt realize how sick I looked to my family all those years ago, and I was completely surprised and grateful that my sisters and brothers had taken the ini-tiative to be tested, stated Schultz.

I am forever grateful to my sister MJ for the sac-rifice and the precious gift she gave me on Oct. 5, 1999. Its been the best birthday present ever, and my health has and is improved dramatically!

I also urge everyone who would like to be an organ donor to register with the BC Transplant Society. Having a sticker on your drivers licence isnt enough anymore.

Latrace, a resident of

Black Creek, is another kid-ney patient who has experi-enced the ups and downs of kidney transplantation.

When he was 19, Latrace was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and he subse-quently developed chronic kidney disease as a result.

He kept these two life-threatening conditions under control for a number of years, but in July 1996, his kidneys failed, and Latrace started peritoneal dialysis.

Fortunately, a cadav-eric kidney/pancreas came available after a year-and-a-half wait, and the trans-plant he received provided kidney function, as well as relief from diabetes, until 2009 when Latraces new kidney failed, and he was forced to start the monoto-nous and restricting rou-tine of hemodialysis three days a week for five hours each time.

Latrace is on the list

for another new kidney.Because there is such ashortage of organ donors,Latrace realizes it maybe five years or so beforehe receives the gift of lifeagain.

Latrace and his wife of 38 years share their homewith their daughter andher young daughter. Whenhes feeling up to it,

he enjoys taking short walks with his grand-daughter.

The inaugural Comox

Valley Kidney Walk hap-pens this Sunday at 11a.m. at Simms Park. Reg-istration begins at 10 a.m.Sponsors, volunteers andwalkers are needed.

CATHY SNYDER DANCES at the Dance de Rock with John Burke, the man who showed her the steps. PHOTO BY KEN SNYDER

The eighth annual Dance de Rock raised $12,000 earlier this month for the Canadian Cancer Societys Tour de Rock, and other cancer-related charities.

Record sales represen-tative Cathy Synder gra-ciously went under the clippers to shave her locks and raised over $9,000.

Dance de Rock is a week-end event where dancers come together to socialize, learn new dance moves, raise funds and dance.

Instructors who taught during the weekend came from far and wide Van-couver, Seattle, Calgary and world-class pros Mario and Stephanie Robau from Houston, Texas.

Professional dancer and choreographer Mario Robau, a cancer survivor himself, could relate to the cause and was totally immersed in the event.

The enthusiasm built throughout the weekend and came to a high on Saturday night during the dinner and dance. Kymme Patrick (also a recent can-

cer survivor) said grace before dinner and the eve-ning peaked with Snyders headshave.

It was truly a blessing to be able to share the dance floor with so many wonder-ful and courageous people, say event organizers Keith and Holly Foraie.

The success of this event was the result of a commu-nity effort by many volun-teers, sponsors, and all the dancers who come to sup-port the event from across the Island and Lower Main-land.

The support received from local businesses and volunteer groups has been outstanding. Most of our volunteer groups have been with us from the start such as the Hope Afloat Drag-on Boat Team, the Black Creek Lions Club, Cumber-land Masons and 19 Wing Foods services.

From its start in 2004 to today, Dance de Rock has raised over $97,000. To find out more about Dance de Rock, visit www.dancederock.ca.

The Village of Cumber-

land will hold its annual Tour de Rock fundraiser today at the Cumberland Junior School at 2647 Win-demere Ave.

There will be heads shav-en, great items auctioned and bike games be sure to bring your bike and hel-met if you wish to compete. Hot dogs, soft drinks and ice cream will be available by donation.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and the Tour de Rock 2011 team will arrive at 6:15 p.m.

Crown Isles Wheels Up

for Tour de Rock cocktail reception runs from 6 to 9. You can meet the riders, savour hors doeuvres, have fun and help to beat cancer. Tickets cost $35 at Crown Isle.

The traditional commu-

nity breakfast rally, includ-ing headshaves, happens Thursday at Thrifty Foods in Courtenay from 7 to 9 a.m.

Lindsay ChungRecord Staff

Courtenay Cana-dian Tire dealer Bert Heeringa and his fel-low Canadian Tire Jumpstart Pedal for Kids Cycling Tour rid-ers have raised enough money to help more than 2,000 children sign up for sports and activities.

The five-day, 500-kilometre Canadian Tire Jumpstart Pedal for Kids Cycling Tour wrapped up Sunday in Vancouver. As of Mon-day, it had surpassed its $200,000 goal and raised $204,161 for Jumpstart, a commu-nity-based charitable program that helps children aged four to 18 participate in orga-nized sports and rec-reation.

One of the 22 riders, Michael Strachan, the senior vice-president of merchandising at Marks Work Wear-house in C a l g a r y, r a i s e d $100 ,000 himself.

C a n a -dian Tire Jumpstart p r e s i -dent Dan T h o m p -son says the aver-age cost to support a child for an eight-week sports program is $100, so this cycling tour has a huge impact all across the country.

One in three Cana-dian families cannot afford to put their child in after-school sports activities, according to Thompson.

Last year, Jumpstart helped 98,000 children and distributed $10.2 million across Canada, and the organization helped 13,800 children in B.C.

Every dollar raised by Heeringa during the Pedal for Kids ride will stay in the Comox Val-

ley, explained Thomp-son.

Berts been just an amazing Jumpstart supporter, he said. They have a very strong chapter in Cour-tenay.

Throughout the Pedal for Kids tour,

the rid-ers gave away 10 Act iv i ty Kits filled with a w i d e v a r i e t y of sports e q u i p -ment including two to the C o m o x V a l l e y

Boys and Girls Club when the riders came through the Valley Thursday evening.

They got into a com-munity and help, we say, an average of 20 kids, and we say it goes on and on, said Caro-lyn Solby, Canadian Tires director of mar-keting and communica-tions in Toronto, who was one of the 22 riders on the tour.

Canadian Tire Finan-cial Services holds a fundraising event for Jumpstart every year, and this year, they held a gala dinner and raised $500,000 enough

money so that one kit can go to every commu-nity in Canada with a Canadian Tire store.

The kits are worth an average of $1,000 each, and Jumpstart plans to donate 500 Activity Kits across the country.

Thompson is always thrilled to make the presentations.

Its very emotional to me to come to com-munities right across Canada and especially on the Island and talk to people and, unsolicit-ed, have people say how

important it is, he said. Were helping deliver life skills in people and give them the opportu-nity to learn the value of sport and recreation. Thats really exciting.

Besides bring-ing sporting equip-ment to children and youth in each commu-nity through which it passed, the Pedal for Kids tour brought one family together to hon-our a husband and father and raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters through Jump-start.

Team Legacy Reta

Honour of Mill Bay, her children Melissa, Greg and Stephanie who live in Toronto and Gregs girlfriend Nikki Halli-well did the ride for their father, a Canadian Tire dealer who passed away six years ago and was very involved in Big Brothers Big Sis-ters.

I guess the best part is you realize how much impact our father had on everybody because people are so willing to donate to the cause, said Greg.

It just goes to show the impact a person

can have through hisstore, agreed Melissa.Its been pretty heart-warming.

Their father was very involved in Big Broth-ers Big Sisters every-where they lived, butparticularly in Mira-michi, N.B., so Team Legacy is donating themoney they raise to BigBrothers Big Sistersin Miramichi throughJumpstart, explainedMelissa.

All three Honour siblings have also vol-unteered with BigBrothers Big Sisters.

In the weeks lead-ing up to the Nov. 19 municipal elections, the Citizen Voice Proj-ect hopes to get people talking about what is important to them and to inspire them to vote.

Were hoping to inspire more people to vote in the upcoming civic elections, said Susan MacVittie, who is co-or-dinating the proj-ect with Dan Vie. This is part of the p r o c e s s to engage people in a dialogue a b o u t w h a t s important to them in their community and how they can make a difference by voting.

The non-profit, non-partisan Citizen Voice Project (CVP) is mov-ing into the next phase of its Community Sur-vey Project.

Last spring, 600 sur-veys were completed, and in the next three weeks, CVP is setting a target of conducting 1,400 more and its looking for help.

The CVP is looking for volunteers to take the survey to their friends, neighbours and acquaintances.

We need people to be involved for a few hours, said Vie. The group is trying to emphasize that you gain more by meeting people face to face. That builds community.

In the next two weeks, the Citizen Voice Project will be canvass-ing surveys door-to-door, at events and at favourite spots in the Comox Valley.

Only 31 per cent of people voted in Courte-nays civic election, and CVP wants to encour-age a higher turnout in the upcoming civic election through this survey.

The survey is a val-ues-based survey, not an issue-based one, to engage people in what kind of values are important to them in our community.

They chose to focus on values because issues tend to polar-ize people, explained MacVittie.

A values-based

organization tends to broaden the playing field, added Vie.

Youre not focusing so much on one particu-lar issue, which creates conflict, but if you try to identify what every-one values, you tend to have common inter-ests, he said.

Each survey takes about two to three minutes to fill out and is composed of 10 yes or no questions with room for comments. Its meant to be a conver-sation starter to build engagement and demo-cratic literacy.

The questions are simple, theyre broad,

and I think so far, 94 per cent of respon-d e n t s h a v e a g r e e d w i t h t h e m , said Vie. N o w , whether the people governing

us agree, that remains to be seen. Its a conver-sation opportunity, and its easy and fun.

The survey results will be correlated with how an individual councillor voted on a particular value and presented in the form of a report card, which will be shared with the public, councils and the regional district.

Its giving people an opportunity to think about whats impor-tant to them, said Vie. Often, people dont get asked. Its a process of asking people what they think. The door opens up for conversa-tion. Suddenly you find

people want to talk about it because they dont have a chance usually.

The values identified in the survey come out of a public workshop in 2008 in which 50 people spent four days identifying what values are most important to them in the Comox Val-ley, explained Vie.

The CVP is asking anyone who can lendtwo to three hours oftheir time to the projectto contact them at [email protected] or call Brian at250-334-3624.

An updated guide that explores drinking water from source to tap is being launched Monday.

Wedler Engineer-ing water policy and research specialist Sonya Jenssen has completed the 2011 Comox Valley Drink-ing Water Reference Guide, and she is host-ing a launch for the guide Oct. 3 from 5 to 6 p.m. at The Freakin Coffeeshop at 106-2456 Rosewall Cres. in Cour-tenays Tin Town.

The event is open to the public, and Jens-sen says it will be very casual, as people are invited to drop in any

time during that hour to talk to her, look through a hard copy of the guide and look at the three-dimensional watershed map.

The 2011 Comox Valley Drinking Water Reference Guide is online now at www.waterresearch.ca.

North Island College has just picked up the guide and will make it available to its stu-dents, while a professor at Okanagan College will use the guide in her environmental law course, according to Jenssen.

Jenssen hopes that people find the guide inspiring. She and the funders would like to see a guide like this in every commu-

nity.My ultimate hope

would be that (readers) are inspired and pas-sionate to learn more about water and under-standing its impor-tance, she said. Water really does touch every-thing. I think its really fascinating, and I think every living thing has dependence on water.

I hope you feel inspired and you think about how you treat water .... and under-stand its a whole source-to-tap process and theres hundreds of people behind every glass of water you drink working in every capacity.

The guide covers top-

ics such as challenges to water management, federal and provincial jurisdiction related to drinking water and water supply systems in the Valley.

Jenssen also pro-duced the 2007 Comox Valley Drinking Water Reference Guide as part of the Comox Val-ley Water Watch Coali-tion.

Through that group, we realized there need-ed to be an overview of drinking water sources for the general public, she said.

The 2007 guide was funded by Vancouver Island Water Watch, Project Watershed Society and the local

chapter of the Council of Canadians.

The 2011 guide, which updates the 2007 guide and includes a new chapter, was fund-ed by Vancouver Island Water Watch.

2007 and 2011 are definitely different guides, said Jenssen. 2011 is slightly more geared toward a stu-dent water researcher ... I had a slightly dif-ferent audience in mind. I added a chap-ter looking at different levels of treatment.

The 2007 guide inspired a similar guide in Port Alberni, which was launched this March, explained Jenssen.

Jenssen attended the Port Alberni guide launch and met the funders, who wanted to update the 2007 Comox Valley guide and dis-tribute it together with the Port Alberni guide.

Jenssen has seen a growing awareness about water protec-tion, water sources and water infrastructure in the past four years.

I feel very positive about these changes that are happening, and I think thats a good thing, she said.

Theres a growing awareness, and with that comes respect.

Jenssen has been with Wedler since

January, when she wasbrought in to work onthe Comox Lake WaterProtection Plan.

Updated source-to-tap water guide to be unveiled

THIS WARNING SIGN asks people to be care-ful what they put into Comox Lake.

Co-operation conserved H2O

The Comox Val-ley Regional District (CVRD) reports that water supply and pres-sure were maintained thanks to the co-oper-ation of those water users affected by the recent Stage Three restrictions from Sept. 12 to 23.

The restrictions were required due to BC Hydros fall main-tenance on the Pun-tledge River generating station, which meant that the CVRD water system had to supply water to consumers via standby pumping sta-tions.

The Stage Three restrictions which prohibit lawn water-ing, power washing driveways, etc. were necessary to maintain enough water in the system for household and firefighting needs.

Residents were asked to use water only when completely nec-essary so that we could maintain adequate pressure and quantity in the system, and our data tell us that our water users diligently followed the restric-tions, said Marc Rut-ten, the CVRDs senior manager of engineer-ing services. Once the restrictions began, there was an imme-diate and significant reduction of 37 per cent in water use.

The CVRD used advertising, news releases, its website, Facebook and Twit-ter pages, and signs in high-visibility areas around the Comox Val-ley to keep residents aware of the stage of the water restrictions.

Information on watering restrictions at any time of the year can be found on the CVRDs website at www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/restrictions.

Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue helped to retrieve a poorly prepared 26-year-old Victoria hiker from Strathcona Provincial Park during the weekend.

CVGSAR was acti-vated by the RCMP just before midnight Satur-day evening to begin a search for the man, who was last seen leav-ing Circlet Lake that morning with a plan to climb Mount Albert Edward and return.

The hiker, poorly prepared for the con-ditions and unfamiliar with the difficulty of travelling in alpine ter-rain, went alone after a debate with his girl-friend about the merits of climbing in such poor weather conditions.

She chose to stay at Circlet Lake. When the man failed to return to camp by 9 p.m., RCMP were notified and CVG-SAR was contacted by the Provincial Emer-gency Co-ordination Centre.

CVGASR responded immediately despite the high winds and heavy rains that were

bearing down on the mountain. A com-mand location was established at Mount Washington Alpine Resorts Raven Lodge and search managers began the task of plan-

ning search tactics and determining resources for the morning.

Given the cool tem-peratures in the alpine and with severe weath-er forecast for the next two days, time was of the essence, says Paul Berry of CVGSAR.

As many local SAR volunteers were involved in course work and certification courses throughout the province during the weekend, the call went out to teams up and down the Island.

By 5 a.m., SAR teams from the Comox Valley, Campbell River,

Cowichan Lake, Port Alberni and Nanaimo converged at Raven Lodge. Two teams began immediately to hike in to explore areas of high probability while a third team flew

by helicopter to Circlet Lake to interview and extract the mans girl-friend.

Despite the readi-ness of the teams, weather proved to hamper search efforts, as helicopters could not easily access the search area despite incredible flying by the pilots of Ascent Helicopters. As weather windows opened, pilots inserted teams throughout the morning, accessing higher and higher ter-rain and with it falling snow.

Search managers and searchers alike

were deeply concerned about the weather and its impact on the lost man, knowing full well that hypothermia is the No. 1 killer of lost per-sons in our province. Searchers were ecstat-ic to locate the man on a ridge at 5,200 feet above Circlet Lake just after 1 p.m. He was air-lifted to Raven Lodge for assessment by BC Ambulance and trans-ported to St. Josephs Hospital where he was later released, hum-bled and wiser from his experience, Berry says.

As predicted, the man had become dis-oriented in the weath-er the previous day and had been drawn into the wrong lake and then had followed the Oyster River drainage to the Oyster River main logging road.

As luck would have it, he found an aban-doned fire truck and took refuge in the truck overnight before turn-ing around and climb-ing back up towards Albert Edward early Sunday morning.

CVGSAR reminds those looking to venture out into backcountry that proper trip plan-ning, preparation and equipment is essential. Many areas of Strath-cona Park do not have well defined trails and as such skillful naviga-tion is a must. If disori-

ented, stop travelling, find a sheltered loca-tion and contact 911 if possible.

CVGSAR thanks Comox Valley Emer-gency Social Services with their assistance in caring for wet, tired searchers and to Mount Washington Alpine Resort for open-ing and providing the full use of Raven Lodge throughout the search and to providing cater-ing services to our SAR volunteers.

Steven Maloney and his father Terry leave the Comox Valley for his Running the Dream run across New Zea-land this Sunday.

Maloney plans to run from the most northern point of New Zealand, Cape Reinga, to Bluff, the most southern part of New Zealand, start-ing Oct. 11.

His goal is to com-plete the run in 40 days or run about 50 kilometres per day.

Maloney is no stranger to running.

His last big run was the Great Walk from Gold River to Tahsis on June 4. He ran 63.5 km in seven hours and 40 minutes, placing 10th.

Maloney raised more than $1,200 for the New Zealand Red Cross to

assist earthquake vic-tims in Christchurch.

You can follow Malo-

neys run on Facebook under Running the Dream.

He hopes to keep a daily journal and to let people see how he is doing.

Maloney is still collecting pledges to assist New Zealand Red Cross, with the donations going to the earthquake victims of Christchurch.

Maloney intends to return to the Comox Valley in February after some rest and relaxation and after spending time with his mom in Invercar-gill, New Zealand, and meeting his two-year-old niece, Abby Rose.

Maloney says it has

been a positive experi-ence in the Comox Val-ley, and he wants to especially thank all the cars that tooted their horn in support on his early-morning runs.

Some days, it was a hard grind to get moti-vated, but he says it always felt good when someone honked and it would give him a burst of energy. Also, a huge thank you to his dad, who pedaled his bike behind him each morn-ing and was there for support.

Once again, Malo-

ney wants to thank all the people who donated money to his Great Walk Run. Also, to friends, family and

customers of his fromPlates Restaurant whocontinue to donateto his Running theDream.

Based on every dollar you invest, Canadian Western Bank will make a donation to your local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.

STEVEN MALONEY HEADS to New Zealand this Sunday.

Drug busts this month locallyComox Valley RCMP took

some drugs off local streets with several busts this month.

In the early-morning hours of Sept. 11, RCMP surprised a suspected local drug dealer as he slept when they searched his residence in the 4600 block of Headquarters Road in Cour-tenay.

The 44-year-old was found in possession of a quantity of cocaine, cash and bear spray.

The man was arrested as a result and later released on a promise to appear in court. Police are recommending charg-es of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

On Sept. 14, the Comox Valley RCMPs drug section searched a residence located above a busi-ness on Fifth Street in Courte-nay. This search resulted in one of the largest ecstasy seizures in the Comox Valley. Over 900 pills suspected to be ecstasy

were seized along with other synthetic drugs, marijuana and a substantial amount of cash.

The resident, a 28-year-old Courtenay male, was arrested and later released on a promise to appear. Police are seeking charges of possession of ecstasy and marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

Michael Austin Schmidt, 23, was arrested in Comox after a search in the 2100 block of McKenzie Avenue on Sept. 18. A quantity of cocaine and heroin along with a loaded 9mm hand-gun were seized as a result.

Schmidt is charged with pos-session of cocaine for the pur-pose of trafficking, possession of heroin for the purpose of traf-ficking, possession of a restrict-ed firearm and possession of ammunition for a restricted firearm.

RCMP attended a single-ve-

hicle motor vehicle incident just before 10 p.m. on Sept. 22 in the 5900 block of Highway 19A in Courtenay. A 19-year-old Merville resident was fortunate to have been able to walk away after he lost control of the truck he was driving, say RCMP. He was attempting to pass another on the right while it was raining heavily, a substantial amount of water had gathered on the road-ways and it was very dark.

The truck hydroplaned and then went off road, where it flipped three times before com-ing to a stop, police added. The vehicle was a writeoff due to extensive damage.

The driver faces possible charges in relation to this inci-dent under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Police urge all drivers to adjust their speeds accordingly with the rainy season now upon us. Comox Valley RCMP


Celebrate the past. Look toward the future.

Thats how Lawrence Burns, chairman of the City of Courtenay Her-itage Advisory Com-mission (COCHAC), started his annual report to Courtenay council Monday.

The COCHAC advis-es council on heritage conservation matters, as well as undertakes and provides support for such activities as benefit and provide for the advancement of heritage conservation in the city, explained Burns.

Heritage conserva-tion ensures that the legacy of the past will be preserved for the future, he said. We are encouraged on many fronts, as we see significant increase in the interest in heritage by our local politicians and administrations, residents, businesses and tourists, but the importance of doing more is an ongoing challenge. It requires a determined commit-ment and political will to encourage our people to share in protecting, conserving and hon-ouring our irreplace-able heritage.

The COCHAC, which began in May 1984, has 29 members, including a city staff person.

During his report, Burns spoke about the four levels of heritage activities in which the COCHAC is involved.

There is the Heri-tage Inventory, which is an inventory of build-ings constructed prior to 1939. The inventory includes more than 200 residences and more than 50 businesses.

The COCHAC is continuously working on compiling historic information, construc-tion dates, builders, owners and other infor-mation on these places, explained Burns.

The COCHAC is also involved in installing commemorative heri-tage plaques.

The COCHAC iden-tifies the significance of the building or site and obtains the owners permission for instal-lation. Then, through press release and pub-lic ceremony, the pub-lic awareness of its significance is made, explained Burns.

T w e n t y - t h r e e plaques have been installed to date, the latest being the Old Creamery Steam Whis-tle, placed on its origi-nal site, now home to the Courtenay library.

The COCHAC is also involved in the City of Courtenay Heritage Register.

The register is an official listing of prop-erties, identified by the community as hav-ing heritage values or character, complete with a Statement of Significance.

These will be part of the Canadian Register of Historic Places, fol-lowing submission to the Province of B.C., explained Burns.

The first phase of this register began in June 2008 and was approved by coun-cil in August 2009. It includes 20 locations, and the COCHAC is

in the process of add-ing one more site, the Sandwick Veterans Memorial Cairn, Burns told council.

The fourth level is heritage designation bylaws.

To further protect real property in whole or in part from altera-tion or demolition, without prior approval of plans, a designated building is identified by a bylaw, explained Burns.

Three such bylaws have been passed in years past including the E&N Railway Sta-tion and one more is in the works, he noted.

Heritage BC has been working on a Call to Renew BC Heritage Programs, and it has been emphasized that a revitalized heri-tage program will be a sound investment, a boon to B.C.s diverse and growing tourism

industry and a com-mitment to a sustain-able future. It will also fulfill the pact with the people of B.C. to pro-tect, conserve and hon-our our irreplaceable heritage, said Burns.

We believe heri-tage is good business, whoever you are. It is inspiring and challeng-ing, and we are work-ing together for this, so lets celebrate the past and look toward the future.

C o u n c i l l o r s expressed gratitude toward the COCHAC for its work.

I think its an hon-our to the city that so many people who have a heart for the commu-nity maintain this com-mitment by serving on this commission, which is a real partnership between citizens and city staff, said Coun. Doug Hillian.
