Gentle, beloved horse killed by cougar

With a couple of hats and a few props Sid Williams could transform himself into 10 characters in 10 min-utes.

He was part of the Comox Val-ley theatre community, both on and back stage, for 70 years. As they say in thespian circles, Williams “left the building” on Sept. 26, 1991 at the age of 92. On Tuesday, Sept. 20, nearly 20 years to the day after he died, Courte-nay Little Theatre will pay homage to the short man with the tall heart.

Krista Jernslet never would have imagined a cougar attack-ing, let alone killing, a horse.

But that’s exactly what hap-pened Thursday night at a Dove Creek property.

Dawn was a 20-year-old Nor-wegian Fjord more than 14 hands in size and weighing about 410 kilograms. Her owner, Henny Brydges, had boarded the horse at a property belonging to Peggy Jernslet, Krista’s mother.

“It’s very, very scary,” said Kris-ta, herself a horse owner. “Def-initely not something I would, from a cougar’s point of view, think would be a good target. She was a therapeutic riding horse. They’re pretty great animals.”

“The kids down there (Thera-peutic Riding Society) absolutely loved her,” Brydges said, noting the animal’s special mane that stood up like a Mohawk. “She was very gentle. She wouldn’t bite or kick anybody ... It was a big loss.”

Dawn was the lone horse at the property, which perhaps explains

why the cougar went after her instead of some calves in the vicinity that were guarded by their mother. Brydges notes a neck bite was the only mark on her pet.

“It’s awful,” said Brydges, who acquired Dawn when she was a one-year-old filly. “She was a cart horse as well.”

At the time of the killing, Kris-ta said Dawn had been near the barn that is about 400 yards away from her mother’s house, which is guarded by two dogs in the yard.

Peggy found Dawn the next morning.

The attending conservation officer figures the killing was quick and quiet.

“He didn’t figure that Dawn even knew what was coming. She still had a mouthful of grass,” Krista said. “He got her right in the throat. Other than that there wasn’t a mark on her. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. I never in my life would have expected a cougar to take down a horse. Not one that big anyways.”

Especially considering the A FLOWERY TRIBUTE marks the spot where a cougar killed a 20-year-old filly in the Dove Creek area. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Students, parents upset at Royston ElementaryLindsay ChungRecord Staff

Angela Barry says Monday was a difficult day at Royston Elemen-tary School, and there were many tears when parents dropped their children off at school.

It’s Barry’s understanding that Royston Elementary was notified at 2:35 p.m. Friday by the school board that they were not happy with the class configurations at the school.

Barry’s son was one of the many students moved after four days of classes, as he went from a straight Grade 1 class to a Grade 1/2 combined class.

“I don’t have a huge issue with it; my issue is the fact that nobody took into consideration how many children were being affected,” she said. “There were a lot of really

upset children and in turn, a lot of upset parents. There were kids crying.

“I was fortunate in this situa-tion; the change didn’t affect (my son), but I think he’s the excep-tion, not the rule,” she added. “I’m sure these kids will settle in, but that’s not the point. Why put them through this in the first place?

“I think it’s a pretty sad day when there are kids crying in the hallways and their mothers are crying because they’re upset, and for what?”

Parents were phoned during the weekend, said Barry, who received a call Sunday afternoon from principal Barbara Robertson saying the class configurations

needed to be changed.“I think the teachers and prin-

cipal did everything they could to make the transition as seamless as possible,” said Barry. “Regard-less of that fact and with all their effort, there were a lot of upset people.

“The person who made the decision wasn’t there. They make these arbitrary decisions, and they don’t take into effect what effect it has on families and parents.

“I’m just shocked they put kids, parents and teachers through this for a reason nobody can explain. It’s not like they added a whole bunch of kids to the school or added staff or took staff away.”

Barry noted that one teacher made the comment, “Where is

the school district now?” Monday morning as she was trying to console a six-year-old boy and his mother.

“I don’t think the school board took into effect who this might affect because of what it looks like on paper,” she said. “Those kids have been settled in for four days now. There were a lot of upset children today, especially primary children.”

The changes at Royston Ele-mentary are related to the dis-trict aggregate for elementary schools across School District 71, according to Allan Douglas, the district’s director of elementary instruction.

At the end of the first week of school, district staff collects all the data from every elementary class from every elementary school in

Continued from frontavailability of food in the area such as the abundance of deer near Peggy’s house.

The CO, who spent several hours studying the site and surround-ing area, told Krista that cougars typically feed on blood after a kill then come back on a subsequent night. Officers set up traps and a camera, hoping the cat might return the following evening, but it didn’t.

Krista, noting cougar sightings in both rural and urban areas, said the incident is a tragic reminder that people are the ones encroach-ing on cougars’ land.

“I think that we

become a little compla-cent,” she said. “Really, we need to remember they were here first.

This is their land, and they don’t seem to be stopping at the borders and not coming in.”

Another cougar sighting was reported the next day about one kilometre away.

COs were not avail-able for comment, but there is speculation

that a low snow line is driving deer into the Valley with cougars in tow.

In a separate story, a cougar was spot-ted Sunday afternoon on Labour Day week-end near Hurford Hill Nature Park. [email protected]

Campaign starts for United Way

Erin HaluschakRecord Staff

Although the focus was to thank those who con-tribute, the reality of the impact of the United Way was exemplified Friday morning at the annual kick off breakfast at Crown Isle for the organization.

“One in four people in the Comox Val-ley receives assistance or participates in a program funded by the United Way,” explained board member Jon Ambler at the break-fast. “This is the best place for money to have the best impact.”

More than 120 people attended the kickoff, where organizations who con-tributed to the campaign including CFB Comox and the Royal Bank, were rec-ognized.

Brad Bayly, community development co-ordinator for the United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island, said he wanted to make sure to focus on com-munity donations.

“We cannot do this with-out them. The breakfast is a really good way to say thank you to our corporate sponsors and employees. Eighty per cent of dona-tions are through employee payroll deductions.”

Ambler added he is excit-

ed about the future of theUnited Way’s impact on thecommunity.

“The change starts here. This isn’t your mother andfather’s United Way. Wereach right down to the veryessence of the problem.”

He noted that local dol-lars collected in the ComoxValley for the organizationstay in the area.

“If you can help one child in one classroom, you canimpact the entire class-room,” he said.

Last year, Ambler said the United Way raised$180,000 in the Comox

Valley, andalthough hedoesn’t want to

set a goal, he added raising$200,000 “is doable.”

Chief operating officer Lynne Brown said that,just to meet the need in theComox Valley, the organiza-tion would need $350,000,although she noted thatwould work out to a $7donation per person in thearea.

“We want to really focus on fully funding agenciesbecause that’s what is soimportant — they changelives,” she said. “We wantto help people understandwhat a difference their dol-lars really make.”

Some of the community partners in the Comox Val-ley area funded by the Unit-ed Way include the ComoxValley Boys and Girls Club,Dawn to Dawn and Successby Six.

Quake awakens memories of ’46

Mark AllanRecord Staff

The earthquake that rattled Ron Webber’s home Friday shook up him, his wife and other members of their family.

Yet it was nothing com-pared to the first quake he experienced in the Comox Valley.

A pre-school lad at the time living in Cumberland, Webber has no trouble recalling the 7.3–magnitude jolt centred just west of the Comox Valley on Sunday, June 23, 1946 at 10:13 a.m.

“I ran to my mom and dad,” the former Courtenay mayor reminisced Monday. “I remember one of the big clocks on the wall came crashing down.

“It was brought to my attention by my parents that a big chunk on the face of the post office, which is our museum now, came crackling down. And the old schoolhouse, which is where Thrifty’s is now — it was fortunate it was on

a weekend, because if kids had been in school … some of the bricks were on the desks the next day.

“It was a dandy. This one (Friday) was a good shaker, too, but nothing like ’46.”

Still Canada’s most pow-erful onshore earthquake, the 1946 incident caused considerable damage on Vancouver Island and was felt as far away as Portland, Ore., and Prince Rupert.

According to Natural Resources Canada, the quake “knocked down 75 per cent of the chimneys in the closest communities, Cumberland, Union Bay, and Courtenay and did con-siderable damage in Comox, Port Alberni and Powell River. A number of chim-neys were shaken down in Victoria and people in Vic-toria and Vancouver were frightened — many running into the streets.”

Two people died, one due to drowning when a small boat capsized in an earth-

quake-generated wave, and the other from a heart attack in Seattle.

Friday’s magnitude-6.4 earthquake at about 12:40 p.m. was felt from north-ern Vancouver Island to the Fraser Valley. It had an epi-centre 80 kilometres south of Port Alice.

“Our chandelier was swinging and the recliner (rocker chair) started to move,” said Webber, who

lives on the edge of down-town Courtenay only sev-eral blocks from Thrifty Foods. “It was rocking.”

When asked how long it lasted, he said, “It seems like forever, but I guess it was just seconds.”

His daughter Deanne, who’s married to Agricul-ture Minister Don McRae, was visiting with her infant daughter Chloe. Deanne noticed the quake first, then they all felt it.

“It made me feel a bit nauseous,” said Webber’s wife Lorraine. “It wasn’t a

nice feeling at all.”Holly Grant felt it at her

home in Comox.“I was sitting home for

lunch having a bite to eat at my kitchen table when my kitchen table and the chair started to shake. My heart started beating and I thought, ‘What is going on?’

“I ran outside to see what was happening … I came to the conclusion it must have been an earthquake. It really shook me up.”

Although there have been no reports of major damage, the Grant home was not spared.

“We had some work done in the backyard this sum-mer, and a big 16-foot step has come apart from the back porch.”

Siding also split apart along the building’s foun-dation, added Grant, who is married to Coun. Tom Grant of Comox.

“My heart was racing,” said Holly Grant, an earth-quake rookie. “I don’t think I want to go through again, but it makes you think about getting prepared.”

Webber said he doesn’t worry about another quake, although he said he knows it’s going to come.

Continued from front the district and compiles it into the district aggregate, explained Douglas.

“It tells us across all classes in the school district if we’ve reached the number we need to reach,” he said.

For kindergarten, the district aggregate across all classes must be 19, while the aggregate for Grades 1 to 3 is 21, and the Grades 4 to 7 aggregate is 30.

The district aggregate was higher at kin-dergarten, and Douglas says there are two ways to respond to that — by reor-ganizing the classroom numbers or by adding staff, as was the case at Brooklyn Elementary School, where one teacher was added.

“We have to go to places that have higher numbers in kindergar-ten and maybe lower numbers in intermediate,” explained Douglas. “At Royston, they have intermedi-ate classes with numbers in the low 20s, when we need them to be 26, 27.

“We need them to take some of these numbers up so the primary numbers will be smaller. We had several schools reorganize, and Royston was one.”

Douglas says schools do a “really good job” of letting parents know that the first week of school is very fluid, and things can change.

He was impressed that Robert-son personally phoned all the parents Friday evening and throughout the weekend so they would be pre-pared Monday morning.

“I thought that was admi-rable for her to

do that,” he said. “All the teach-ers at Royston do a great job. It’s a time where I’ve always said to parents in all my years doing this that with support from the home and parents supporting the school and supporting these moves, they usually work out in the end.”

The reorganizing to meet the district aggregate is now settled, although the provincial aggregate must be monitored all year.

Village staff will report back with cost and other informa-tion about a cemetery advisory committee that would review and update the local cemetery bylaw, as recommended by Cum-berland acting chief administrative officer David Durrant.

Numerous residents are concerned about maintenance, care for headstones, and flow-ers and small objects at gravesites, Durrant states in a report that recommends short- and long-term solutions. He notes tombstone mark-ers such as small stones or flowers are part of the mourning process in many countries.

Coun. Leslie Baird hopes the committee, if created, would consider a memorial garden.

Grants from the federal and provincial governments made up the majority of funding for two major capital projects undertaken in Courtenay during the course of the past two years.

Courtenay council received a report sum-marizing the project cost and funding sourc-es for the Cliffe Avenue widening and the Arden Trunk Sewer upgrade projects Monday.

The City undertook major capital works to widen Cliffe Ave-nue, improve the 17th Street Bridge intersec-tion and upgrade the underground water and storm sewer infrastruc-ture while the road bed was open.

As well, the City undertook a major upgrade of the Arden Road sewer trunk.

In total, the com-bined cost of these works is close to $7 million, according to the report by financial services director Tillie Manthey.

“The capital costs of $7 million did not require new borrowing

by the City and were funded only in part by property taxes and utility user fees,” she wrote.

“Major funding for these works was sourced from federal and provincial grant programs, resulting in only a minimum impact on property taxes.”

The Cliffe Avenue widening and asso-ciated water and storm sewer line upgrades cost a total of $4,882,872. The city received a federal/pro-vincial infrastructure grant of $2,293,603, which covered 47 per cent of the cost, while funding also came from the City’s devel-opment cost charge (DCC) reserves, the City land sale reserve,

a federal Community Works Fund grant and an ICBC grant. Cour-tenay property owners contributed $73,817, or two per cent of the total cost.

The total cost of the Arden sewer trunk upgrade was $2,112,995. A federal/provincial infrastruc-ture grant of $1 million provided 47 per cent of the funding, while Courtenay property owners contributed $607,698, and the rest of the project costs came from DCC reserves and other contributions.

Coun. Manno Theos thanked city staff fortheir hard work in securing funding forthe projects throughDCCs or governmentgrants.

“It just goes to show doing capital projectshave become veryexpensive games,” hesaid.

“These are twohomes runs that werehit by staff. This is areally big success storyto see two major capitalinfrastructure projectsin our community com-pleted this past year.”

On the day of her daughter’s 33rd birth-day, Judy Peterson hopes new technology will help in providing information about the disappearance of her daughter Lindsey Nicholls.

During a press con-ference Monday, the Missing Children Soci-ety of Canada (MCSC) along with the Comox Valley RCMP, revealed new technology in the search for missing children — the Child Search Alert Poynt Push System.

The Poynt app for BlackBerry, iPhone and other smartphones uses a geo-targeted push system to aid in the recovery of missing children. The app was originally created to connect people to local businesses, events, res-taurants and more.

Through the app, MCSC will be able to quickly notify Poynt users within a rele-vant area with a Child Search Alert on break-ing developments of an active missing child investigation.

An alert about Nich-olls was sent out short-ly after 2 p.m. Monday, the second alert for users since the system has been in place this month.

“We used the tech-nology in the search for Kienan (Hebert) and the immediate need to create awareness in partnership with the Amber Alert in the provinces of Alberta and B.C.,” said Amanda Pick, executive director with MCSC.

“And today we’re using it in a case that isn’t immediate in terms of the awareness, but the opportunity to create awareness and potentially bring infor-mation on Lindsey’s case is just as critical.”

Nicholls’ disap-

pearance along Roys-ton Road during the August long weekend in 1993 when she was 14 years old “still remains a mystery,” said lead investigator Paul West of the Comox Valley RCMP.

“Our detachment continues to pursue this investigation, tak-ing action on any new tips or information that surfaces that may be linked to Lindsey’s dis-appearance,” he said, and added the RCMP have received more than 300 tips about the file.

West confirmed that foul play is suspected, and noted the case is classified as a missing person with homicide suspected.

Currently, Pick said there are more than one million Poynt app users in Canada, and it serves as another way to engage the public through technology.

Peterson said she knows there is some-one who knows some-

thing about Nicholls, and hopes this newest tool can provide the tip RCMP need to solve the case.

“My biggest fear is that I will never know what happened to Lindsey. Please come forward no matter how insignificant you think (the information) is; it may be the piece of information that helps solve Lindsey’s disap-pearance,” she noted.

Anyone with infor-mation about Lindsey Nicholls, is asked to contact Comox Valley RCMP at 1-250-338-1321 or the MCSC at 1-800-661-6160, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Courtenay’s own Josie Boulding will make her small-screen debut Thursday when her adventure travel show premieres on CHEK TV.

Episode one of Rest-less Josie, featuring the surf culture of Tofino and Ucluelet, airs at 8:30 p.m. on cable chan-nel 6. As host and direc-tor, Boulding says the show combines wan-derlust with adventure sports, music and inter-esting interviews.

“This has been such a fun journey for me,” Boulding says. “I met amazing athletes, vis-ited some of the best events and got to try everything from wake-boarding to chuckwag-on racing.

“I interviewed celeb-rities like Kevin Cost-ner and Adrien Grenier. Walked the red carpet in New York. And the footage and interviews we captured ... I can’t wait to see it all on TV.”

Boulding, who grew

up in Campbell River and now lives in Cour-tenay, set out to create the show after being struck with a need to travel. While watch-ing professional surf-ers dare huge waves in Hawaii, she became fascinated by the pas-sion of athletes who risk their lives pursu-ing their sport.

The television show will combine interviews with athletes, action footage and scenery with Boulding guiding viewers through it all.

“I’m attracted to suc-cessful people who work hard,” Boulding says. “There are so many

world-class athletes who are overlooked because their sport is not well-known, espe-cially in Canada. I want to tell their stories.”

The first episode fea-tures Tofino’s Rip Curl Stew, a major Canadian surf contest. Between classic west coast foot-age, a surf lesson and beautiful hotels, Bould-ing interviews the top

surfers in Canada, including Noah Cohen and Peter Devries.

Other episodes include the little-known rodeo stars of the Calgary Stampede, the sand and sexiness of Kelowna’s Centre of Gravity Games, Whis-tler’s knobby, tired insanity of Crank-worx, New York City’s first professional surf-

ing event, rock climb-ing with Canada’s top climber in Squamish, and the music scene and two-wheeled acro-batics in the Comox Valley.

Restless Josie will air on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. throughout the fall. For more, visit www.restlessjosie.com and www.cheknews.ca.

If you haven’t made it down to the Wednes-day farmers’ market yet, there are still three weeks left in the season to get your midweek veggies fresh from the farm.

With such a late start to the season this year, there is an extraordi-nary bounty of veggies being harvested and offered super fresh at the farmers’ market this fall.

Broccoli, beets and basil, corn, carrots, cucumbers, onions, oregano, leeks, lettuce, and beautiful salad mix, tomatoes of every size, shape texture and colour, blueberries and strawberries.

You’ll also find the freshest chicken and highest-quality beef, lamb and goat as well as the blackberry honey, gluten-free bak-ing, breakfast (or lunch) croissants, the best cin-namon buns anywhere and homemade frozen pizza.

The Comox Bay Farm is proving to be a great location for both shoppers and vendors. Many customers are finding it a nice place to stop for their morn-ing coffee and pastry as well as their fresh veggies.

The Pie Lady, a regu-lar at both the Saturday and Wednesday mar-

ket, claims that many of her Wednesday cus-tomers find the central location handy, particu-larly when shopping is squeezed into a busy schedule.

And the v e n d o r s are find-ing it to be a beau-tiful and accessible l o c a t i o n for them as well. The mid-week mar-ket boasts about 30 vendors most weeks, which is almost double the past year’s offerings.

It’s so great to be on a working farm says the market manager, adding, “Last week, the local tractor club har-vested their little patch of oats in the corner

of the farm donated tothem, they harvestedfour tonnes of oats!We’ve watched the corn and potatoes grow

to har-vest, hay cut and b a l e d , and now we’ll get to watch the win-ter cover c r o p s go in a r o u n d us.”

T h e Wednes-day mar-

ket, which runs from9 a.m. to noon at theComox Bay Farm (for-merly Farquharson Farm), will continue tooffer its local fruit, veg-gies, poultry, meat andbaking until Sept. 28.

Larry Peterson and Nick Strussi met through their shared love of fishing.

When they came together in the late 1990s to help protect fish habitat during con-struction of the Island Highway through the Comox Valley, they became a formidable force in the protec-tion and conservation of wild fish and their habitats.

They will be hon-oured Saturday at a Comox Valley dinner, dance and auction for their years of work to help bring steelhead to the Puntledge and Oyster rivers.

Peterson, who lives in Comox, joined the Courtenay Fish and Game Association more than 40 years ago to learn more about his passion for fishing and hunting. He quickly became involved in conservation and fish stock protection, join-ing the Steelhead Soci-ety when it was formed in 1970.

When he retired from teaching 14 years ago, he became involved in fisheries renewal. His role as highways liai-son on the construction of the Island Highway is when he joined forc-es with Strussi, and he is justifiably proud of the spirit of consulta-tion and co-operation he and Nick were able to bring forward.

Over the years, Larry was involved with Puntledge River Restoration Society, Oyster River Restora-tion Society, and Brook-lyn Creek Watershed Society, chaired the Sport Fishing Advisory Board and is current-ly chair of the Comox

Valley Environmental Council.

Strussi, who lives in Courtenay, started working at the Pun-tledge River Hatch-ery in the mid-1980s as part of a retraining program following a workplace injury.

Over the past 30 years he too has been involved in the Sport Fishing Advisory Board, Steelhead Soci-ety, and the Puntledge River Restoration Soci-ety, to name a few, and was instrumental in protecting the Bevan wetlands during con-struction of the Island Highway by success-fully campaigning to change the way the highway crossed the Puntledge River.

Strussi is currently active in a number of local fishery concerns, and organizes the chum carcass planting in the Comox watershed each fall. Earlier this year,

he received the 2011 Project Watershed Achievement Award for his dedicated work on local conservation efforts.

“These two men are amazing volunteers who have done so much to help restore our rivers and creeks,” says Judy Ackin-close, president of the Fanny Bay Salmonid Enhancement Society and committee chair of the Comox Valley din-ner, dance and auction, said. “If you live in our community, and care about fish and fish hab-itats, you know Larry and Nick because they seem to be involved in everything.”

The annual event Saturday is at the Comox Community Centre.

Money raised by the annual dinner goes to support the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s Community Salmon

Program, which sup-ports volunteer salm-on restoration and regeneration projects throughout British Columbia.

In the spring of this year, two volunteer groups in the Comox area, the Brooklyn Creek Watershed Soci-ety and the Oyster River Enhancement Society, received grants totaling $43,978 to sustain Pacific salmon populations and habi-tats.

Since 1989, the Foun-dation has made grants totaling $982,566 in the Comox region with a total impact of $4.8 million, including local fundraising and in-kind donations.

Tickets to the Comox Valley Dinner, Dance and Auction are $50 per person, and avail-able at Gone Fishin’ and Tyee Marine.

With a couple of hats and a few props Sid Williams could trans-form himself into 10 characters in 10 minutes.

He was part of the Comox Val-ley theatre community, both on and back stage, for 70 years. He also performed in commercials, made guest appearances in the TV program The Beachcombers and toured the province as Cen-tury Sam during BC’s centenary.

As they say in thespian circles, Williams “left the building” on Sept. 26, 1991 at the age of 92. On Tuesday, Sept. 20, nearly 20 years to the day after he died, Courtenay Little Theatre will pay homage to the short man with the tall heart.

The tribute begins at 8 p.m. at CLT’s The Space, located at 1625 McPhee just behind Jet FM Radio. The performance features short skits and reminiscences by those who knew and worked with Williams. Admission is free.

“Sid knew everyone in town and everyone knew him,” says Art Collins, who wrote several songs for Williams. “He had what he called his ‘hat trick routine.’ He’d play one character for a few minutes then turn around and, with a hat, scarf or set of false teeth, totally transform into someone else. Audiences roared with laughter, everyone loved him.”

Collins’ wife, Joan, accompa-nied Williams on piano for 25 years. “I got to know Sid very well,” she says. “He was always

a gentleman and always willing to help out if someone needed a favour.

“And he was very professional.

We always rehearsed whether we were performing for a small group or the whole community. Sid liked to tailor the performance to the audience. He had certain songs, like “Spread a Little Sunshine” that he opened his hat routine with. His whole attitude was to be happy and thankful for what we have.”

Mike Butler met Williams in 1945 and worked with him on many a stage set.

“I did survey work for the Min-istry of Highways at the time and Sid would always say, ‘Oh, it’s within half an inch, if that’s good enough for government work, it’s good enough for us.”

“He had connections all throughout the community and was always scrounging stuff to use for sets,” continues Butler. “So I teased him back by saying, ‘Oh, here’s another $1.49 day set by Sid.”

Gail Limber was a cheerleader for the BC Lions when she per-formed on the same program in Vancouver as Williams for the Centennial Celebrations. After she moved to Courtenay, she played Mammy to his Pappy in Lil Abner.

“He was always joking around; often you didn’t know if he was serious or not,” she says. “He took his teeth out to play Pappy and tried to convince me to take mine out too. But I didn’t have any removable teeth and wouldn’t have taken them out even if I

did.“He was an absolute character

and I learned a great deal from him,” Limber adds. “Probably the most important thing I learned about community theatre was that you can be a star on stage with an adoring audience but when the show’s over someone needs to sweep the stage and clean the toilets. Sid never had any pretensions; he was always willing to help out.”

But there was a serious side to Williams. He served on the City of Courtenay council for more than 20 years and was instrumental in the building of the Memorial Pool and many other community projects, as well as unofficially looking after the civic theatre for many years.

Williams was a founding mem-ber of the Comox District Moun-taineering Club, served on the board of the Courtenay Recre-ation Association and co-owned Ski Tak Hut when it first opened and later owned Searle’s Shoes.

His fun-loving and incredibly generous nature touched many. His contributions have been rec-ognized in many ways includ-ing being named Freeman of the City in 1968, receiving the Eric Hamber Award in 1963 for his outstanding commitment in the field of theatre and being induct-ed into the Order of Canada in 1984. In 1991, the Comox Valley civic theatre was named in his honour.

SID WILLIAMS APPEARS as Century Sam with Rosie the mule.

Art and wine — both are subjective, evoke emotion and tend to be very personal.

Local artist Neil Hav-er’s work will be paired with a complimentary tasting of Blue Moon Estate Winery’s award-

winning wines, a recipe for a pleasant Sunday afternoon outing.

Blue Moon Winery is pleased to feature the recent silk-screened original prints by local graphic artist Neil Havers. The prints will

hang for the month of September at the win-ery.

Havers is best known for the graphic design and marketing services he has provided here in the Comox Valley for the past 30 years.

What people don’t know is that he has always had a passion for the silk screen printing process, par-ticularly when it comes to art prints. He met and worked in the medium with local master screen printer Andy MacDougall back in the 1970s in Edmon-ton.

Throughout the years they have pro-duced many works of art together. Recently they’ve been work-ing on a raven series, which will be the fea-tured works at Blue Moon Winery.

A new print called Raven Glacier will be unveiled on Sunday.

To meet the artist and printer and see the unveiling of Raven Glacier, you are invited to Blue Moon Estate Winery (at Natures Way Farm) this Sun-day from 1 to 4 p.m.

Blue Moon Estate Win-ery is located at 4905 Darcy Rd. just north of

Courtenay.For more infor-

Visual arts experts revive teamwork from the ‘70s

ARTIST NEIL HAVERS (left) is teaming again with screen printer Andy MacDougall.

This Friday from 7 p.m., the Comox Val-ley Art Gallery opens three new exhibits — A Releasing Breath, Always and Forever and The Significant Dream Project, which explore life, dreams, religion, breath and death.

Everyone is invited to attend this celebra-tory reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Artists will be in attendance and refreshments will be served. These exhibits will run from Sept. 17 to Nov. 5 during regu-lar gallery hours.

In the main gallery, A Releasing Breath features the artwork of Sara Vipond (Hornby Island) and Joël D. (Cortes Island). This show examines the physical, visceral and liminal qualities of life/death of the human body.

A series of ceramic sculptural abstrac-tions of human/ani-mal body parts and delicate translucent drawings questions the connection, or lack thereof, of life and the beyond. Joël D.’s ceramic sculpture echo the shapes of internal organs and muscle tis-sue, appearing to be parts from science fic-tion cyborgs.

Some of them are finished in pale colours, lending a ghostly yet institutional feeling to the work. Vipond’s work is comprised of prints and drawings that use the language of medical illustration to infuse the human action of breathing

with lyrical and ethe-real qualities.

Together the pieces weave an experience of the space between body and breath; what can be touched and what cannot.

Vipond holds a BFA from University of Toronto and an MFA from York University and is a visual art instructor for North Island College and Emily Carr Univer-sity. She will give an art talk to discuss the works in this show on Sept. 24 from 1 to 2 p.m. at the CVAG.

Joël D. has a Visu-al Arts Diploma from Centennial College, Ontario and studied at Alberta College of Art, completing a BFA at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

The Arts and Crafts Gallery features Always and Forever, artwork by artist Robert James (Courtenay), who goes by the moniker YAR-TYS. His exhibit of Old World European reli-quary chests, crosses, mirrors and sculpture

will be on display only until Sept. 28.

His works are creat-ed in his Comox Valley studio/workshop using a variety of woods and found objects. These pieces are inspired by his travels to cathe-drals, churches, shrines, and museums through-out Europe and South America.

He has a Diploma in Architecture, Bach-elor Degrees in Indus-trial/ Technology Education and Visual Arts and has taught at the University of Alber-ta, Edmonton, Alberta; North Island College; and various Alberta and B.C. high schools as well as Japan and

Korea.The Significant

Dream Project, taking place in the George Sawchuk Gallery and organized by Cathy Stoyko (Cumberland) brings approximately 80 artists from around the globe, whom have sent in a total of about 100 dream-based art-works.

Along with postcard sized art, there are also two dream-related zines and an incredible collage.

Stoyko says, “One of the interesting obser-vations I have made after seeing all of the art work people have sent is the honesty in dreams. It is one of the

beautiful things about dreaming, our ego isn’t involved in the same way. Another inspiring aspect about dreams is that anything is pos-sible and that is a good reminder to carry over into our waking lives, the surrealist know this well.”

Stoyko operated The Abbey Gallery in Cum-berland from 2004-07. For the past 15 years she’s been active in the local arts community as an artist, dancer, choreographer, mask maker, costume design-er, event organizer/pro-ducer and curator. She also organizes collab-orative and correspon-dence art projects and cabaret/performance art events.

The Comox Valley Art Gallery is located at 580 Duncan Ave. in the old firehall. Hours

are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday. FMI, phone 250-338-6211, visit www.comox-

COMOX VALLEY RECORD*include a brief description

Time is running out to get your tickets for the Everybody Needs Somebody Sometime musical fundraiser and thank you event.

For $15 (which includes refreshments) this event will feature the talents of local singers and musicians including the Heart Strings, Todd Butler, Steve Mason and Blain Waldbauer, the Doug Anderson jazz group and the Forbidden Pla-teau Barbershop Quar-tet.

It happens this Sat-urday from 2 to 4:30 p.m. to raise funds for St. Joseph’s General Hospital.

Organizer Dick Stuart hopes to see a full hall and wants to remind everyone that the hospital staff are always ready to help us when we need them.

All funds raised will particularly benefit the

emergency ward and extended care. Stuart adds that any contri-butions over and above $15 will be greatly appreciated and put to good use at the hospi-tal. If you can’t attend, please consider making

a donation.Tickets are avail-

able from the FlorenceFilberg Centre office,the Medicine Shoppe inComox and the CUPEoffice in Courtenay. Forinformation, call 250-338-1000.

Forbidden Jazz, con-sisting of Jake Masri on trumpet and vocals, Jeff Drummond on guitar, and Tim Croft on upright bass, are once again featured at Zocalo Café on Friday evening.

As in the past, they hope to attract a multi-generational audience by performing a wide variety of timeless jazz standards. The trio, representing more than four decades of experi-ence, both domestically and internationally, will weave their col-lective magic through two sets of entertain-ing music.

A welcome addition to the Comox Valley, guitar master Drum-mond has appeared on national radio and tele-vision programs, pro-duced and engineered countless albums, and played with many well-known artists. He has accumulated over 20 years as a music edu-cator, which contrib-utes towards a high demand for his skills and services.

Croft, also new on the local scene, has

quickly gained rec-ognition as a strong and creative player. After completing his bachelor degree, Croft relocated in Montreal where he continued to study the bass, play in local restaurants and clubs (such as House of Jazz and Upstairs), and record with sev-eral different groups. Croft currently teaches music at L’Ecole au Coeur d’Ile in Comox.

No stranger to local music circles, Masri draws his inspiration from classical reper-toire to musical theater to Afro-Cuban/New Orleans, and bebop styles.

Since moving to

Comox in 2002, Masri has appeared with Sounds of 17, Quin-tessence Brass; Sixth Street, Jazztown, and Jazz Noir com-bos; Georgia Straight, Arrowsmith, and CR Big Bands; Strathcona Symphony Orchestra, and Just in Time Jazz Choir.

A casual, fun-filled evening of jazz awaits you from 7:30 to 9:30.

Lensmen up next with jazz

After last Thursday’s season opener when Jeff Drummond played some incredible mod-ern jazz in a George Benson vein, this week the Georgia Straight Jazz Society brings you an evening of smooth, easy-going oldies.

The Lensmen collec-tively bring decades of experience to recreate music that has been around a long time. The group’s repertoire reaches back to just about the turn of the century, 1900 that is, and through the ‘40s.

They have also been known to play a little jazz beyond the Big Band era with Len Wilkie crooning a la Frank Sinatra and are not ashamed to say even a little coun-try. Oldies but good-ies will include When You’re Smilin’, Mack the Knife, Moon River, Sweet Georgia Brown and ‘Deed I Do.

The Lensmen are Noel Thomas on cornet, Mike Eddy on piano, Al West on bass and Len Wilkie on drums.

Thomas has played with many fine groups over the years, includ-ing Brass Bands, Dance Bands, Dixie-land Bands, even some symphony, Ice Capades and circus bands. He is also a founding mem-ber of the original Des-peration Jazz Band.

Eddy is new to the Valley and has been blown away by the jazz scene here.

West is a multi-tal-ented instrumentalist, well-known to local jazz aficionados, who brings an extremely melodic approach to his bass solos and rock-solid approach to his bass lines as part of the rhythm section.

Wilkie learned his trade with big band and small jazz groups in Europe. Moving west, he was the drum-mer/vocalist with the Dixie Stompers/Des-peration Jazz Band for 22 years, while playing with other country and pop groups. He is the Len in Lensmen.

• • •Tickets will be on

sale for the Oct. 16 Sunday concert featur-ing the Marc Atkinson Trio. Shows start at 7:30 at the Elks’ Home on Sixth Street in downtown Courtenay. Look for the Live Jazz sign on the sidewalk.

PerreyLorraine Marie

In the early hours of Sunday, August 29th, our dear mother, Lorraine Marie Perrey, passed away after a lengthy illness. She would have been 77 this fall. She leaves behind fi ve children -- Marjorie, Jody, James, Ken and Sandra -- three grandchildren, her remaining sisters and brothers as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.

Lorraine was born September 12, 1934 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. She received her nursing diploma from Edmonton’s Misericordia Hospital in 1955. After raising her family in Vancouver, she returned to her nursing career and worked at the Children’s Hospital. She loved everything about nursing -- her colleagues, the children and their families. She moved to the Comox Valley in 1981 where the joy of helping others continued to defi ne her later years. She devoted herself to volunteering with the Cancer Agency, Hospice, St. Vincent DePaul Society and the Catholic Women’s League. She was also a skilled seamstress, quilter and a gardener, and she loved to square dance with the Ocean Waves. Despite the disease that robbed our mother of her many abilities during these past years, the gift of her smile, which could light up a room, remained until the end. With profound respect and lasting gratitude, we wish to thank the people of Cummings Home and Glacier View Lodge, whose kind and compassionate care touched our whole family.In lieu of fl owers, donations to Glacier View Lodge or similar Senior’s Programs would be much appreciated. We will be hosting a celebration in honour of our mother at the BlackFin meeting room in Comox, on Saturday, September 17th, at 1 pm. Contact Toneff Funeral Services at 250-338-4463 for further details.

MARK J. DERRYSuddenly on September 7, 2011 Mark J Derry passed away in hospi-tal with his family by his side in Win-nipeg, Manitoba.

Mark is survived by his loving wife Cheryl, son Jonathan and daugh-ter Sara (Daniel), his mother Irma, brothers James (Lew), Vern (Mary) and sister Carol (Karl) and numerous nieces and nephews and friends.

Mark was born February 1, 1958 and grew up in Winnipeg and af-ter numerous career changes he became a long haul truck driver and drove for the last 20 years. Mark loved life and each day was an adventure. The happiest day of his life was the day his pre-cious children were born. Mark was happiest spending time with his children, camping, which he shared with Sara and helping at Sledge hockey with Jonathan. He also enjoyed golfi ng, fi shing and playing with his dogs Tesha and Star. In recent years he re-discovered photography and a love of Mexico where he spent time just this past March.

Dear Sarah…Where to begin? Other than Mom, I’ve known you longer than anyone else on the planet! Growing up in Comox was a childhood that was hard to beat… for a while it was just the two of us. I remember the bike rides up and down our street… especially the one during that wild lightning storm and us screaming as we peddled faster and faster… and that stupid German Shephard named Bailey that would try and bite us every time we rolled past their house? Then came Ron and Shanon, and our universe grew... but you always seemed to have a way of managing things with a gentle hand, a gift you had all your life. You were so good at everything. In your recent years you were rela-tional glue for the family and be-yond… You were often the fi rst to know and always the faithful caller… your caring and generous heart manifest itself in the small things you did…I will always remember all you have taught me about life.

With love, Karen...your old pal from the Valley.

Species at risk speaker’s topic

The regular monthly meeting of the Comox Valley Naturalists Soci-ety will be held Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Flor-ence Filberg Centre at 411 Anderton Ave. in Courtenay.

Dave Donald (RP Bio), Senior Ecosys-tem Biologist, Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, will pres-ent a lecture on: Spe-cies at Risk Protection in a Coastal Forest.

The topic of this lec-ture is especially timely and of particular inter-est, given the ongoing review of the Report of the British Colum-bia Task Force on Spe-cies at Risk, which will determine the frame-work for future land-use decisions.

Several species at risk influenced by forestry activities are being managed at a strategic scale as well as at the stand level. How do we predict hab-itat, what measures are being undertaken,

how much habitat is reserved for our spe-cies at risk, and how do we inventory our popu-lations?

As the Senior Eco-system Biologist and North Island Species at Risk manager, Donald is the Ministry’s point person for species at risk management for all the North Island. Particular attention will be given to the management of North-ern Goshawk (laingi), Marbled Murrelet, Northern Pygmy Owl, and Red-legged frog.

You’re welcome to come and join us to become better informed, discover how you can be involved in volunteer programs and to learn how you can help CVNS provide education and protec-tion for B.C.’s natural environment.

It is that time of the year… the air is crisp, everyone is full of anticipa-tion and looking forward to getting back onto the ice. The sound of skate blades cutting through ice reso-nates around the rink as the players rush into the offensive zone.

The centre passes to the forward, who pivots left, cutting around the defend-er, and shoots, aiming for the top left corner of the net. The goalie slides across the crease and pops up her hand, but she can’t catch the ring before it catches the net.

Ring? Not puck? Yes, ringette is growing in pop-ularity in the Valley and across the country. It is a wonderful alternative or addition to hockey. Open to boys and girls, it offers ice skating and team building skills without body contact.

According to the organiz-ers of this year’s Come Try Ringette event, “Ringette has some very distinct dif-ferences to other ice sports. In fact, while it looks a bit

like hockey, it more closely resembles lacrosse or bas-ketball in terms of its offen-sive and defensive play.

“Ringette uses a rubber ring and sticks with spe-cially designed tips. The objective is to score on the opponent by shooting the ring into their net.”

Also, “Unlike hockey, the ring must be passed across the blue lines. This encour-ages passing and team play, enhancing the flow of the game and making it very fast. The game is kept fast moving and wide open as only three players from each team may enter the offensive or defensive zone at a time. There is lots of room to move which creates many scoring chances.”

Kathy Dyck, player with the Comox Valley Cougars Masters’ team and organiz-er of this year’s Come Try Ringette event is excited by the growth of the sport and hoping for a big turn out to this free skate. “All you need,” she explained, “are some warm clothes, your skates, a helmet, a pair of

mitts or gloves and enthu-siasm!

“Sticks will be provided and there are a limited number of helmets avail-able for those who do not have their own.” Parents and guardians must be in attendance and will be provided plenty of informa-

tion about ringette and the Comox Valley Youth Pro-gram.

Trudy Barr, the equip-ment manager and Youth coach with the local ringette association, added, “We have been very lucky to have received a lot of equip-ment donations over the

last two years and we will be able to outfit a few play-ers, which will help keep the cost down and make it less stressful for parents to get their children started in ringette.”

Boys and girls aged five to 12 years old who would like to try this fun and excit-

ing ice sport are invited tocome out to the Comox Val-ley Sports Centre, Arena #2from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Sun-day, Sept. 18. To register forthis free event, visit www.cometryringette.com ore-mail Kathy at [email protected].

The Comox Valley Youth Ringette Program runsfrom mid September to midMarch. Under the directionof Ringette Canada-certi-fied coaches, participantshave weekly ice times onTuesdays from 3:30 to 4:30p.m. In addition to skilldevelopment, youth partici-pants have the opportunityto host and /or travel toplay real games againstother teams throughoutthe season. Registration isongoing and it is never toolate to join in the fun.

You can also find out more and meet some of theplayers at this year’s Rex-spo: Saturday, Sept. 17 from10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in thegymnasium at 19 Wing Fit-ness & Community Centre.

Yetis sweep PanthersKalan AnglosSpecial to the Record

The start of September signifies the end of summer and a return to the cus-tomary grind of our daily lives. For sports fans, how-ever, September means one thing – hockey is back.

Such was the case Sat-urday night at the Comox Valley Sports Centre as the Comox Valley Glacier Kings hosted the Peninsula Pan-thers in the home opener of their 2011/2012 Vancou-ver Island Junior Hockey League season.

It was the second game in as many nights for the two teams, as they wrapped up a home-and-home with the Glacier Kings prevail-ing 3-1. The first game Fri-day night in Peninsula was a 5-2 Comox Valley win, giving the Yetis a weekend sweep against the two-time defending league champi-ons.

“Excited,” said new Glacier Kings head coach and former player Jordan Butcher about his first home-opener. “Really, really excited.”

In game one Friday, Pen-insula scored two quick goals in the first period to make it 2-0 after the first 20 minutes. However in the second, Comox Valley came out strong and by the sound of the buzzer to end the game, had scored five unan-swered goals to win 5-2.

Jackson Garrett led the Yetis with two goals while Myles Powell, Rylan Ball and Jayson Cannell netted one each.

In their home opener Saturday, stellar goaltend-ing was on display at both ends of the ice, as Panthers’ Nick Babich (second star of the game) and Kings’ Ben Tarnowski (first star of the game) showed that the best offence is a good defence.

In the first period, Babich made an especially stellar save on a penalty shot awarded to Glacier King veteran Garrett after he was taken down on a breakaway chance. Gar-rett looked to have Babich beat, going to his forehand after several nifty dekes,

but Babich used every inch of his reach to stop the puck with his glove hand just before the goal line.

However, persistence paid off for Garrett (third star) as he scored the first goal of the game at 16:41 of the second period. Jordan Crisp scored late in the sec-ond to make it 2-0, receiv-ing a perfect pass from Ben Meadows, who finished with two assists.

In the third, Peninsula (with only 12 players on their roster to begin the season) came out strong and answered back with a goal by Cole Peterson on the power play. However, it wasn’t enough as the Kings sealed the victory with an empty net goal by Spen-cer Carlson with just 15 seconds to play. Shots in the game were 36 to 32 in favour of the Kings.

The Icemen return to action this weekend. On Friday, Sept. 16 they host Kerry Park Islanders in a 7:30 p.m. start at Sports Centre Arena No. 1. On Saturday they are in Parks-ville to play the Oceanside Generals.

VIJHLVIJHL

The GP Vanier Towhees kicked off their varsity high school football season Sept. 9 by defeating Surrey’s Frank Hurt Hornets 18-7.

The temperature was a sizzling 28 degrees C. at Bill Moore Memorial Park when the locals took on the defend-ing Tier 2 B.C. varsity champions in their first exhibition game of the season, which came just three days into the new school year.

Vanier started slow-ly, showing the uncer-tainty sometimes seen at the beginning of a year’s first game. The Hornets began the game well, gaining yardage on the ground and holding Vanier’s offence to three downs and a punt for most of the first quarter.

By the end of the first quarter Vanier’s offensive and defensive lines settled down and began to “fire out” at the opponents, open-ing holes for Vanier running backs and stopping the Hornets’ running attack. By halftime Vanier had scored two touchdowns (without conversions) and kept the Hornets off the scoreboard.

The second half start-ed slowly for both teams as the heat was taking its toll Vanier scored a third touchdown (with-out a conversion) and the Hornets scored a TD with a move some-what similar to an Aus-tralian Rules Football bounce, and some good running by the Hornets slotback on a reverse. They converted to make the final 18-7.

“Our kick conver-sion needs some work,”

noted Towhee coach Bob Campbell.

Vanier’s offence was quarterbacked by Ian Curry who had two rushing plays for nine yards and completed his only pass of the game to Dylan Wyatt who initially made two Hornet tacklers miss but was finally brought down inches from the Hornets’ goal line.

Running back Clay-ton Guille had two car-ries for 10 yards and was just getting started when he was sidelined with an injury. Clint Gibson had two carries for eight yards. Bran-don Hudson, who was recently converted into a running back, had a fine debut with 61 yards on 10 carries. Connor Willis managed 191 yards on 15 car-ries along with three touchdowns, four punts

averaging 32 yards, four kickoffs averaging 46 yards, one kickoff return for 32 yards and one touch back ... “Just an average game for Connor,” Campbell noted.

Vanier’s defence did quite well consider-ing a couple of players had not played football before and the defen-sive system was new to most of the rest. By the end of he first quar-ter some wrinkles had mostly been ironed out and everyone was very aggressive and tackling hard.

Brandon Hudson (who also played run-ning back) made seven tackles. Middle line-backer Nolan Lader-oute made three tackles and had a brief appear-ance as a running back. Newcomer Cole Patter-son had three tackles,

one QB sack and a fumble recovery. Adam Riley and Steven Brad-shaw each had three

tackles.The only unfortu-

nate event came at warm-up when a Vani-

er coach was down on the ground after being beaned by an errant football. “The players needed to be reminded that just because we won, beaning a coach during the warm-up should not become a

lucky talisman,” Camp-bell quipped.

Vanier varsity’s next exhibition is at Windsorhigh school in North Vancouver on Friday,Sept. 16.

Comox resident Darcy Sharpe is fea-tured in the most recent issue of Snowboard Canada magazine. Sharpe was high-lighted in the popular “Drafted” column due to his outstanding com-petitive results from last winter. Most nota-ble was his huge win at Whistler’s Showcase Challenge. In addition, Sharpe received mul-tiple Best Trick recog-nition awards at other snowboard competi-tions throughout the season.

Sharpe grew up learning to ski and snowboard at Mount Washington and was a past member of the VI Riders Snowboard Club. Last winter, Sharpe moved across Georgia Strait for the winter to Whistler and has been riding with the Whistler Valley Snowboard Academy.

He competed at the most recent TTR World Snowboard Tour event at Whistler on July 1. At the event, Sharpe was competing against two of the world’s best snowboarders – Sebas-tien Toutant and Mark McMorris.

“It’s amazing to be at events with riders like this,” says Sharpe. “Mark and Toots are taking top spot at snowboarding events

all over the world including the X-Games and the Burton New Zealand Open.”

After the event, Sharpe remained in Whistler for two weeks to fine-tune his skills on the Blackcomb Gla-cier. Year-round rid-ing and keeping the board on snow during the summer months are vital for dialing in the tricks which he will unveil during the 2011/12 winter.

Joe Mcadoo, a former international competi-tor who is now coach-ing him, has witnessed Sharpe’s progression and believes he has the drive, talent and ener-gy to take it to a higher level this winter.

“Darcy loves to snow-board and he always has fun when he’s on the snow. He works hard and is very moti-vated to do whatever it takes to develop his skills,” he says.

Sharpe would like to thank his sponsors Burton, Red, Electric, Showcase Shops and Annum.

CHRIS ROBERGE WITH his silver medal from the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Chris Roberge is proudly sporting a sil-ver medal he won with his softball team while competing in the 2011 Special Olym-pics World Summer Games in Athens, Greece recently.

Roberge played both centre and left field in the A division for the B.C. team against teams from Australia and the Dominican Republic. “Greece was a lot different”, Roberge commented, “and it was really hot!”

Mary Wells also competed at the Games in the 100m dash, 4X100m relay and long jump, and came home with several ribbons to her credit.

The 2011 Special Olympics World Sum-mer Games saw over 7,000 athletes from 175 countries around the world along with 2,000 volunteer coaches congregate in Athens for the competition.

Special Olympics Comox Valley will be starting their new season with registration at the Comox Recreation Centre on Wednes-day, Sept. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. Interested athletes are encouraged to attend.

If you are interested in volunteering, con-tact Susan Glover at 250-335 3481. Special Olympics provides athletic opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.

COMOX VALLEY RECORDYour Community. Your Newspaper.

Day-to-day living is costly. Gas, grocer-ies, home expenses, the kids, taxes, a workday coffee or lunch – it all costs and it all adds up, making it very difficult to set aside money for investing.

But you know you should because contrib-uting to your invest-ments within an RRSP and other forms of sav-ing and investing is the best way to financial and retirement comfort. Your mantra should be ‘pay myself first’ and here are three ways to do just that and regu-larly fund your invest-ments using money you already have.

Consolidate debt — If you have a number of small loans and/or

carry debt on a bunch of credit cards, consid-er a debt consolidation loan at a better interest rate and lower overall monthly payment. Or you might opt to trans-fer your credit card bal-ances to a personal line of credit that typically has an interest rate of prime plus one or two per cent instead of the 18 to 28 per cent annu-al rates of many credit cards. Use the ‘found’ money from your lower monthly loan and debt payments to fund your

investments.Be tax smart — You

get a tax refund and you think, ‘Whoopie!’ But what you’ve actually done is loaned the gov-ernment your money, interest-free through-out the year. Instead, apply to reduce the tax withheld from your pay each month (by filing form T1213 with the Canada Revenue Agen-cy and for Québec resi-dents, a TP-1016 with Revenue Quebec) and invest the extra money each pay period.

Cut your coffee habit — A coffee a day costs only a buck or two … or three or four, if you’re a latté person. A small amount, you think — but break your coffee habit and put those

‘small’ amounts into your RRSP month-ly and thanks to the magic of compound-ing, the price of your daily regular coffee will add up to an addi-tional $9,800 in your plan in 10 years (based on annual return of six per cent). Over 30 years you’ll accumulate $60,000 and that would provide an annual pre-tax retirement income of about $5,000 over 22 years. If you’re a latte lover, deleting your daily habit will put an additional $19,600 in your RRSP after 10 years and over $121,000 after 30 years, giving you a pre-tax annual retirement income of $10,000 for over 22 years. And you won’t have to stand in

line every morning.Now that you’ve

uncovered those ‘hid-den’ investment dol-lars, put them to work before they get gobbled up by other day-to-day costs by setting up a Pre-Authorized Contri-bution plan (PAC) that makes automatic with-drawals from your bank account and transfers them to an investment account.

Talk to your profes-sional adviser about PAC and other strat-egies that’ll help you reach your financial and life goals faster.

Foreign students welcome

A first Comox Valley international student welcome event will do just that this Sunday at Simms Millennium Park in Courtenay.

International stu-dents offer the Comox Valley several key opportunities.

On a social level, the students create an opportunity for increased understand-ing and appreciation of difference, enriching the Valley with their ways of knowing; all of which adds to our collective commitment to living in a peaceful world.

On an economic level, the students (and their families) bring signifi-cant purchasing power into the Valley. Conser-vatively, each student spends $20,000 per academic year on pro-gram and basic living costs. With close to 200 students anticipated

in 2011-12, that is a $4-million infusion into our economy.

And this doesn’t count the “spending money” these students have for participating in social, cultural and recreational opportuni-ties.

Welcoming students publicly provides a message to the stu-dents, their families and the community as a whole that each one is welcome, appreci-ated and safe in our Valley. The message to the families is that this small community is where their children will be cared for and appreciated.

And for the commu-nity it continues the theme of welcome initi-

ated by the Welcoming and Inclusive Commu-nity Roundtable and supports the messages of WelcomeBC.

It also says to new immigrants that diver-sity is valued and it says to those who are challenged by diversity that there is opportuni-ty to build understand-ing.

The event happens Sunday at Simms from 2 to 4 p.m.

Woody HayesSpecial to the Record

Our region, like most in B.C., is a var-ied mix of urban and rural, which is reflect-ed in our industries and activities.

In the communi-ties outside Greater Victoria, a large per-centage of our labour force is still employed in resource industries, and our economy is vulnerable to ongoing, external economic fac-tors.

Throughout 2010, B.C. began to recover from the global finan-cial crisis, thanks to increased global export demand and renewed consumer confidence.

According to the BC Check-Up, a report released by the Char-tered Accountants of B.C., our province’s economy performed well in 2010, and while outlook for 2011 is cautiously optimistic, economic gains con-tinue to be tempered by current and ongoing developments.

In 2010, the province recorded employment gains of 1.7 per cent, or 38,600 new posi-tions. Most important-ly for the Vancouver Island/Coast region, the forestry and dura-bles manufacturing industries all reported employment gains last

year.According to the

report, demand for B.C.’s softwood lum-ber, minerals and coal increased significantly and these trends have continued into 2011, good news for our region’s export base.

So far this year, provincial exports of industrial goods have totalled $3.4 billion, up 20 per cent over the first half of 2010. Ener-gy exports hit $4.6 bil-lion, an increase of 17 per cent. Forestry product exports have risen 13 per cent, while softwood lumber has seen an increase of nine per cent.

Despite these gains, B.C.’s exports of soft-wood lumber to the U.S. have not recov-ered to previously recorded levels and the overall trend is one of decline. The prospect of a renewed recession in the U.S. suggests that exports of lumber to this market will not recover to their former level for some time; third-quarter economic reports for 2011 indi-cate that the U.S. econ-omy is slowing, and that job growth and housing prices have stalled.

In 2010, the prov-ince experienced a 1.9-

per-cent increase in productivity; however, the defeat of the HST will undoubtedly affect continued productivity growth for our region and B.C. as a whole. As the government moves to reinstate the PST/GST, it is important that they consult with business and create a new and improved PST that could include some of the efficiencies found in value-added taxes.

While productiv-ity is one piece of our economic equation, the report also cites the ongoing evolution of B.C.’s product mix and markets, both in the service and goods-producing sectors, as important factors in sustaining economic growth.

This focus on diver-sity will help the Van-couver Island/Coast region in the long term. Reliance on goods-production leaves our region vulnerable to swings in the global commodity price cycle. Expanding markets and new industries will help ensure the continued success of our traditional indus-tries, sustain job cre-

ation, and increase our competitiveness.

Although there have been difficult economic times all around us, ABC Printing and Signs has continued to see steady growth.

They have been in business for over 18 years and continue to grow. The business is owned by two couples, Steve and Berni Han-sen and Joanne and Bryan Wiley.

Although this type of partner ownership is not standard, it works very well for the company. Bryan and Joanne work in the front office, with Bryan handling management and sales and Joanne handling book keeping and customer service.

Berni and Steve work in the production area, with Steve man-aging press and wide format production and Berni looking after all the finishing work.

ABC also has a team of eight employees who are very dedicated and hard-working, the lon-gest having been there for over seven years.

The shop is a full service print and sign shop, offering graphic design, offset, digital and wide format print-ing.

Anything from busi-ness cards, to full car decals are done in house. Although the wide format area of the print shop was not the original focus, it has become a huge part of the business.

They have just added a second wide format printer into the mix that is able to print 12 colours instead of the normal four.

As the growth has continued, the shop seems to keep outgrow-ing its home. ABC has seen four expansions and three moves, the last just having taken place this past March.

The new building is just down from their former home on Pun-tledge Road.

They have taken over the old Island Ink Jet building at 301 Puntledge.

This move has given ABC Printing and Signs more visibil-ity from the road and room to stretch out and continue to grow.

On Sept. 22, ABC is having a grand open-ing/open house. They would like to show the community the new building and are offering refreshments, prizes from local busi-nesses as well as new products to see, and a gift for everyone that attends. It’s your chance to see the inside workings of a print and sign business.

You’re invited to join the ABC Printing and Signs team at 301 Pun-tledge Rd. in Courte-nay on Sept. 22 from 3 to 7 p.m.

It is great that the centre is nearly built and will soon be ready for the public to use. I love to ski and am up at Mount Washington a lot enjoying the trails.

I am also involved with some non-profit groups in the Comox Valley, including the board of the Merville Community Association, which operates the Merville Hall.

The Merville Hall isn’t fancy or top of the line but it has served the Comox Valley since the 1930s. It hosts the Scouts, fiddle dances, craft fairs, dog clubs, family receptions and fundraisers.

But, the Old Gal is showing her age. The hall needs a new kitchen floor and cabinets to bring it to Food Safe standard. It needs completely new, wheel-chair-accessible washrooms.

Last year, we had a paintathon and got the first coat of yellow

and white paint on the exterior. It is now like a bright yellow sun as you drive by in the morning, though we still have to get on a second coat of paint.

The entrance needs work, the floor needs refinishing, the stage needs lighting and the 20-year-old furnace is gasping its last breath. All this takes money.

The hall really needs the $7,000 or $8,000 that it receives as a grant-in-aid from the regional district to pay for the $8000 annual insurance bill. It limps along on rentals through-out the year but any renovations have to be paid for from rental income. Then there are the hydro, gas, water and garbage pickup bills.

If the new $3.1-million sport centre is successful in lobbying the regional district for a $50,000 annual subsidy, and the rest of us are told that there are only limited funds to go around, does this mean the Merville Hall will lose a portion of its grant?

Will Grantham Hall and Halbe Hall be similarly ding-

ed? Will other community organi-zations also feel the pinch?

I wonder about a $3.1-million business applying for another $50 grand-a-year subsidy to help it operate. Had the centre’s budget been pruned by, say, $250,000, then there might have been enough left for it to operate for the first five years without a handout.

This “legacy” from the Olym-pics looks like it will be a bit of a continual drain on the taxpayer. Though the centre is supposed to be for everyone to enjoy, I hope that its success won’t be at the expense of the other community facilities in the Valley.

Once again, the MCA is apply-ing for a grant-in-aid. We also appeal to anyone out there who would like to give us a hand with the renovations.

And then there is the little brown church that we would like to move onto the grounds. So much to do, so little time and even less money.

Craig Freeman,Courtenay

There’s nothing like an earthquake to shake us, at least briefly, out of complacency.

Everybody from the Fraser Valley to Cape Scott was talking about the 6.4-magnitude quake Fri-day south of Port Alice because so many of us felt or witnessed its effects.

From swaying chandeliers to slight shaking, countless thousands got just a tiny taste of the immense force that builds under what is usually solid ground.

Vancouver Island, which drifted in from the Pacific Ocean ages ago when things were still quite molten, continues to creep toward the coast of the B.C. mainland.

The Juan de Fuca Plate on which we sit is the smallest of Earth’s tectonic plates. subducting, or sliding underneath, the North American Plate.

The force that builds when the two plates have been stuck for some time is released in an earth-quake when the plates move suddenly.

It’s not comforting to know that what we think is rock-solid Vancouver Island rests on a plate that is on top of what is called the mantle, which in turn floats on an underground ocean of molten, superheated rock called magma.

Another disquieting thought involves the most powerful quake ever recorded on Canadian soil, which happened just west of Courtenay in 1946.

We can’t do anything to control or even accu-rately predict when the next quake will happen, but there are things we can do to be prepared.

The Provincial Emergency Program website (www.pep.bc.ca) has a wealth of helpful informa-tion. PEP’s three major quake-readiness objec-tives are for you to:

• Be prepared to avoid injury; • Be prepared to minimize damage to your home; • Be prepared to survive afterwards for at least 72 hours without help.

While it’s tricky to educate your children with-out scaring them, PEP recommends developing a post-quake plan and discussing it with your fam-ily.

It’s easy to think it won’t happen to us, but that’s what people in the Comox Valley thought before 1946. [email protected]

Comox taxpayer needs his sleepDear editor,This letter is in regards to the

road construction taking place on Guthrie and Lerwick intersec-tions.

The mayor of Comox and coun-cil have decided that it is less important that the tax-paying citizens, of whom they owe their positions, get much-needed rest during the night and obviously feel that rerouting traffic during the day would generate more complaints.

This is narrow mindedness in the extreme and I’m sure that there’s not a town council person or mayor of either town that lives within a kilometre of that intersection so why would they care?

To have traffic rerouted would add an extra five to 10 minutes to the average commute.

Instead of caring about peo-ple’s health and well-being, the powers that be in Comox decided that preventing a few extra minutes of driving is far more important.

I spoke personally with a fore-man at 2 a.m. Thursday, as there was no sleep to be had, and I was informed that it was the decision of the Town and they could work until 7 a.m.

There were lots of lights on in homes and condos on my walk to the work site and I’m sure that the people in the homes along Guthrie were getting little sleep that night.

I was informed by the person on site that they had been autho-rized to continue the following night which by my reckoning would make it four nights in a row.

Most people work during the day and need their rest at night.

It utterly appals me that the council would be so callous to order this construction well beyond the normal time when bylaws demand quiet hours.

As a lawyer, I would have expected Mayor Paul Ives to have respect for existing laws and bylaws, but as a politician — why should I be surprised.

Richard Thomas,Comox

Dear editor,I find it reprehen-

sible that two of the names on the list for the Order of B.C. are people who actively worked to tear apart the environmental and democratic fabric of British Columbia.

Gordon Campbell skulked out of his role as premier and one of the most disliked and mistrusted premiers in the history of the province.

He lied to the people of British Columbia and set laws in place that stripped away

communities’ rights to protect their own environment and will likely bankrupt BC Hydro.

Jim O’Rourke is a miner, and the chair-man and director of Compliance Energy Corporation.

This company has an eye on the Comox Valley as the next Appalachia of the North to begin coal mining, both under-ground and open pit. Their mines would be located in the heart of the Comox Val-ley’s watershed, about

three miles uphill of Baynes Sound and one of the most productive oyster-growing areas in the world.

The coal mines will poison the watershed and contribute over 60 million tonnes of greenhouse gases to an already overstressed atmosphere.

The Order of BC recipients are chosen by the Chief Justice, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, a president of one of B.C.’s universities and the president of the Union of British

Columbia Municipali-ties, amongst others.

These two choices tell me which direc-tion our government is looking to. They will sell our children’s future in a blind rush to keep themselves in power.

This is a sad day for British Columbia when these two names get put on the same list as great British Columbians like David Suzuki and Rick Han-sen.

Dear editor,Lately it seems like

our Valley’s cyclists are trying to subvert our entire way of life to fit their needs.

After driving by the hospital yesterday, that new green bike lane practically blind-ed me and ran my Hummer off the road!

And then there’s this business about Car-Free Sunday. Why would anybody in their right mind want to have our roads closed off just so people can parade around like it’s the Canada Day, or Christmas or some-

thing?I think we should

only close our roads to cars for legitimate reasons, such as the Olympic Torch Run, (can I say Olympics without getting sued?)

So now the Comox Valley Cycling Coali-tion (CVCC), led by Ed Schum, has the gall to ask Courte-nay city council for a bridge specifically for cyclists?

Give me a break.If cyclists really

want the bridge so bad, they can pay for it themselves.

As a non-cycling

taxpayer, I’m tired of having my money spent on things that really affect my life in no way, just because some people get together and create an organization.

Well, I think it’s time we disenfran-chised anti-environ-mentalists, organize and stand up for ourselves. Disenfran-chised Individuals Against Reason Ready to Hunt Out Environ-mentalist Antagonism (DIARRHOEA), let us unite!

WHEN IS SOMEONE on Courtenay city council going to have enough intestinal fortitude to put forth a motion to change the zoning for Maple Pool campsite to coincide with the other campgrounds in the Comox Valley who are allowed to remain open all year round?

WHY DID CUMBERLAND council member Kate Greening insinuate that disc golfers “didn’t hon-our” the reason for the park being built? Kate, what did you mean by this? How do you know what myself or any other park user honours? I hap-pen to have great respect for other cultures, and parks. If Coal Creek Histor-ic Park is reserved for only those directly involved with it, and the individuals it was meant to honour; then please just come out and tell us, put up a private property sign and help it remain a sombre, empty place for no one to use.

ON BEHALF OF all the Faith Lutheran Church ladies, thank you to everyone who came out and supported us at our garage sale for east Africa held on Piercy Avenue.

WELL, IT MAY have

been “a fast- moving bush fire” to quote the Comox fire department inFriday’s Record last week but I can assure you it was not as fast as your white fire truck, which came up behind my sons as we stopped at the crosswalk at the bottom of Guthrie between Anderton and Pritchard on last Tues-day. Surely whoever was driving your fire truck was aware it was the first day back at school and there were kids crossing in front of our car. As Guthrie narrows at this point it is virtu-ally impossible to pull completely off to allow you to pass, at which point you used your bullhorn. We all appreci-ate the “fast action of the fire department,” but your behaviour was unacceptable.

Order of BC recipients list ‘reprehensible’

Voters getting chance for changeDear editor,Now that summer is gone

(was it ever really here?) and the silly season is over, maybe it’s time to think about something serious. Such as the upcoming munic-ipal elections.

Wherever I go and whom-ever I talk to recently, there seems a sense of disenfran-chisement from voters.

Politicians wring their hands wearing a winsome smile while plaintively ask-ing for public input, and then promptly ignore it. Then there are those old fos-sils that believe that once elected, theirs becomes the Divine Right of Kings, bla-tantly trampling process and people.

Usually that’s the little people like you and me. If you have enough money, like say a Trilogy or Crown Isle,

then these same politicians will bend over backwards to accommodate their needs.

You and I make some small deviation from the dra-conian rule of, for example, a building inspector, and we feel the full force of govern-ment regulation, without exception.

It’s no surprise that groups like the Direct Action Coali-tion, Union Bay TAG, Cum-berland Matters, or Citizens’ Voice, have evolved. I believe that they represent a large body of discontent with the status quo of government and governance.

The rout that occurred in Union Bay over the improve-ment district board should serve as a warning to those politicians who believe they can blithely ignore the will of the people. I was at the first meeting of the TAG group

(Taxpayers for Accountable Government), and it was heartening to see grassroots democracy in action.

Maybe the largest sector of those unrepresented in local government is young people: our future.

I live in Cumberland, and it’s full of young families. A great event that brings together 20somethings to peacefully celebrate music and community is The Big Time Out.

This year it was forced out of Cumberland and margin-alized.

The organizers are cre-ative and committed indi-viduals who bring large amounts of money into the Village. I volunteer at the event, and it is one of the most positive experiences I have, offering an alternative vision for a better world.

If you are as frustrated as I am with these same old tired politicians, and the sterile future they repre-sent, then November is your chance to make a change — one that reflects a greater diversity than business as usual.

In fact I would go fur-ther: Let’s start a taxpay-ers’ revolt. I am fed up with seeing my hard-earned dol-lars being frittered away in bloated administrators’ salaries, or endless projects that we either don’t need, or shouldn’t be paying for.

So get political. Get involved. Be heard. Toss out the old, and bring in the new.

This has been a message from the People’s Party, whose membership consists of one. That’s me — or you. Richard Drake,

Cumberland

Dear editor,If you have read the

news prints and pamphlets on the Howard group and Comox marina develop-ment, you may have noticed that they are offering moor-age to buyers, investors of

the waterfront units being built.

Now, check me if I’m wrong but last I read approximately six months ago was the massive short-age on marina berthage, parking, and the limited

boat launch area itself there.

So, let’s get this straight — the Howard Land Group is going to expand its marina to accommodate all these new people? And park them where? And the boat

launch will be reduced to what?

The locals are going to be pushed aside for this devel-opment in exchange for the lovely colour of money and the pure sales tactic of the offering. The buyers are

getting first dibs on all the moorage they want.

I think that’s disgusting, and the fact that the Town of Comox is allowing it is even worse.

Gord Henderson,Courtenay

Comox moorage priority ‘disgusting,’ says reader

NDP busy in riding

Dear editor,A recent letter to

the editor asks, “What is happening with the local NDP provincial nominations?”

I am pleased to clar-ify what is happening.

We took Premier Christy Clark at her word when she announced this sum-mer that she would like a mandate to govern and was likely to call an early elec-tion this fall, and as a result we have fast-tracked the process for a Comox Valley candidate.

We circulated an open call for candi-dates and surveyed a sizable number of pos-sibles, both men and women. Two women have been willing to seek the nomination; no men have come forward.

On Sept. 18 at 1:30 p.m. in the Rotary Hall of the Florence Filberg NDP members in the constituency will choose a candidate from between Kathryn Askew and Kassandra Dycke.

Any member of the public is welcome to observe this very dem-ocratic process.

Marvin HaaveEditor’s note: Mar-

vin Haave is the acting president of the Comox Valley NDP.



VICTORIA — B.C.’s private power produc-ers held a news confer-ence here in the capital last week, to plead with the B.C. government not to back down from its target of self-suffi-ciency in clean energy by 2016.

The review panel looking at BC Hydro rates recommended that one way the util-ity might save money would be to change the definition of self-suffi-ciency. Currently, that means having enough domestic clean electric-ity supply even in low-water years.

The B.C. Clean Energy Association was supported by University of Victo-ria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, who wants B.C. to continue to develop its unique clean-energy resources. That will reduce BC Hydro’s reliance on the open electricity mar-ket, and help to reduce demand for further coal and natural gas generation.

Weaver says people still skeptical about climate change should check out the current state of Arctic sea ice. It has retreated drasti-cally again this sum-mer and may reach an even smaller size than it did in 2007, which was the biggest melt since satellite records became available in 1979.

Another supporter is Judith Sayers, a former chief from Nuu-Chah-Nulth territory on Van-couver Island, who now teaches aboriginal law at the University of Victoria.

She talked about how a small hydro power project near Port Alberni allowed her people to learn business, with a light footprint on land recov-ering from a century of industrial logging. And she said that more than half of the First Nations in B.C. now

have some interest in a power project.

Association presi-dent Paul Kariya explained how critics, notably the NDP’s John Horgan, manipulate rate figures to create an impression that independent power is hugely overpriced.

One out of three pro-posals never makes it to production. B.C.’s second wind farm, the Dokie project near Chetwynd, went broke, then was taken over and completed by Plu-tonic Power Corp and General Electric.

Here’s an indication of how quickly the clean energy field is evolv-ing: This year Plutonic merged with Magma Energy Corp., which has geothermal assets in Iceland and Nevada. The merged company, Alterra Power Corp., has backed away from the vast Bute Inlet run-of-river proposal

on the B.C. coast, but its nearby East Toba and Montrose river generators and the Dokie wind farm have performed better than expected.

The Bute project won’t go anywhere until the North American power market changes dramatically. Current-ly the market is low, due mainly to an abun-dance of cheap natural gas and government-subsidized wind power in the U.S.

Horgan claims pri-vate investment is a nefarious scheme to

create a “parallel gen-erating system” for private profit. That seems to be his key criterion for acceptable small hydro: as long as nobody makes a profit.

Professional environ-mentalists claim rivers have been destroyed. Their favourite vil-lain, Ashlu Creek near Squamish, has been running smoothly for

nearly two years, its critics silenced. A new run-of-river cluster around Harrison Lake has energized two remote native villages.

I’ve seen these things, from construc-tion stage to mature operation. If that’s your idea of devastation, you should get out more, and acquaint yourself with the history of log-

ging in particular.And if you’re going

to insinuate that this ispolitical corruption, asHorgan does, you needa better case than theflimsy one he has pre-sented so far.
