19 Wing assisting victims of Alberta floodingErin HaluschakRecord Staff
Two Cormorant helicop-ters and crew members from 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron at 19 Wing Comox have been deployed to help those in flood-rav-aged Alber-ta.
C a p t . Trevor Reid, 19 Wing pub-lic affairs officer, said Friday two crews are assisting the Alberta pro-vincial gov-ernment in rescue efforts in that province.
“442 Squadron was anticipating a request for assistance so they did have a helicopter ready to go. The first helicopter arrived
(Thursday) afternoon,” explained Reid.
“They’ve been doing missions such as hoist-ing people, throughout the flood-affected area, spe-cially the High River area.
The second he l i copter arrived later today (Fri-day), and they will be conducting operations as well.”
He added the Cormo-rant air-craft, which has a hoist with two hooks, can carry up to
5,000 kilograms, and up to 12 stretchers.
One of the first missions the crews were involved in was aiding an evacuation of a seniors’ home of around

Tapics steps down as president of ComplianceScott Stanfield Record Staff
A company that wants to operate a coal mine in the Comox Valley near Baynes Sound announced Thurs-day that its president has resigned from the position.
“John Tapics has resigned as an officer of the company to pursue other opportunities,” Compliance Energy Corporation said in a news release.
Tapics will continue with the company in an advisory
role and as a director.Stephen Ellis, who joined
Compliance last year and served as vice-president of operations, has been appointed president and chief operations officer. Grant Tanaka has been appointed chief financial officer.
“We will be able to draw on their respective under-ground coal mining, and financial and accounting experience as we advance the Raven Project,” chair Jim O’Rourke said.
Tapics recruited Ellis, who has an extensive coal mining career span-ning more than 30 years. He hails from the United Kingdom where he worked 27 years. He holds a first
class mine manager’s certif-icate of competency in the UK and New Zealand with mutual recognition of these in Australia.
Tanaka has a background in accounting, corporate
finance, and mergers and acquisitions in the resource sector. Previously, he has held senior financial posi-tions with New Gold and Teck Resources.
“He was already work-ing with Copper Mountain,” said Ellis, a Comox Valley resident.
Ellis said Compliance will “continue with the re-submission of the application” for the Raven Project.
“We’ll be busy working with our consultants and
also meeting with the EAO (Environmental Assess-ment Office) and the CEAA (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency). That’s going to be months, not weeks.”
Last month, the provin-cial EAO rejected Compli-ance’s initial application. The company expects the mine would create about 350 full-time jobs and spi-noff jobs. Estimates indi-cate it could operate 16 years.

THE TRIPP TEASE crew celebrates their third-place finish at this year’s Black Press Van Isle 360 Internation-al Yacht Race. PHOTOS COURTESY OF TRIPP TEASE
Earle CouperRecord Staff
After some heads-up sailing over the last two weeks, the crew of the Tripp Tease headed to the medal podium Satur-day after capturing third place overall in Division 1 of the 2013 Black Press Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race.
The biennial, 580-nau-tical mile race around Vancouver Island started June 8 in Nanaimo and finished there June 22. The Comox Bay Sailing Club entry in this year’s event finished a strong second in the 10th and final leg (Victoria to Nanaimo) on June 22, thus clinching their spot on the podium.
The final leg of the race (60 nautical miles) through the Gulf Islands from Victoria to Nanaimo with numerous routes, strong tides and hazards, is considered one of the
most challenging legs of the race.
The Tripp Tease crew (Don Gillingham, James Volkers, Andy Walther, Bob Hodgeson, Jerad Langille, Dave Shaw and Ryan Gnus along with Chris Volkers, Rob Doug-las, Thomas Soucy and
Mark Lutz) rose magnifi-cently to the challenge to secure Tripp Tease’s best-ever Van Isle 360 finish.
“We are very proud to have had the opportunity to represent the Comox Bay Sailing Club in this race,” said CBSC commo-dore Andrew Walther.
More info, photos and videos on the race is available at tripptease.wordpress.com and www.vanisle360.com. More info on the CBSC, which offers competitive and recre-ational dinghy and keel-boat sailing, is at www.comoxbaysailingclub.ca.
Terremoto won Division 1 with 551 points while White Cloud was second with 452 and Tripp Tease third with 452.
Dragonfly won the Mul-tihulls with 165 points fol-lowed by Bad Kitty (144) and Moxie (98). Icon cap-tured top spot in the Big Boat Division with 243 points, just two ahead of Flash, while Dark Star took third (215).
Final Division 2 stand-ings show Diva first (777) followed by Zulu (762) and Astral Plane (693). In Division 3 it was Emma first (445) followed by Por Favor (326) and Sorcery X (274).
SPECTACULAR SCENERY ALONG the route is one of the many bonuses of the race around Vancouver Island.
Best-ever finish for Tripp Tease
Staples to run as independentRecord Staff
Glen Staples, a former math instructor at North Island College, announced his intention to be on the ballot for MP in the next federal election expected in the spring of 2015. He will run as an independent can-didate.
Many North Islanders are unhappy with recent events highlighting the dissatisfaction with the Harper government and the Conservative Party of Canada. And yet it would be almost impossible for many of their supporters to vote for the opposition NDP that is still commit-ted to its politically correct socialist agenda. Staples is hoping to provide an alter-native, which will put the ‘conserve’ back into conser-vative.
The Conservative Party of Canada is more
accurately described as libertarian, which is extreme liberal. Last year’s CPC conference had Ron Paul, U.S. Libertarian candidate for president as its keynote speaker.
Staples is hoping to find common ground to form a general consensus in North Vancouver Island. It is impossible to completely satisfy all constituents but most North Islanders are reasonable people some-where in the middle of the political spectrum.
The problem right now is that the two leading parties are both highly ideological and they have polarized North Islanders into two camps each extreme moti-vated by fear of the oppo-site.
Staples wants to hear what issues most concern North Islanders. He can be contacted at [email protected].
New traffic signals at Malahat Drive
New traffic signals are being installed on Lerwick Road at Malahat Drive, improving safety for vehi-cles, cyclists and pedestri-ans at this east Courtenay intersection.
The signals will be acti-vated in late July.
Lesley Hatch, munici-pal engineer for the City of Courtenay, said the improvements will address changing traffic patterns and volumes, as well as fol-low up on a consultant’s recommendations for this intersection.
“These changes were recommended as part of a traffic impact assessment
that was done for the East Courtenay Thrifty Foods development application,” advised Hatch.
The improvements will include full traffic controls and signals. Pedestrians will have access to audible crossing signals, countdown display timers, and acces-sible push buttons. For cyclists, bicycle markings will show the best location to activate the traffic sig-nals.
For more information, contact the City of Cour-tenay engineering division at 250-334-4441 or e-mail [email protected].

Grade 12 G.P. Vanier student Chris Leclair wrapped up his last year of secondary school with top hon-ours in electronics at the 2013 Skills Canada National Competition.
Leclair brought home a gold medal from the national com-petition before, too — he placed first in the same category when he was in Grade 10 — making him a two-time national champion.
“This year’s (com-petition), it was a lot tougher — stiffer competition,” recalls Leclair, noting he is proud of his win.
“It felt like more of a challenge this time. And this time, going in, it was a little more
stressful because I kind of had a reputation to uphold, whereas, last time I wasn’t expecting anything, like even the regionals victory last time was a complete surprise for me.”
Skills Canada BC hosts 13 regional com-petitions and one pro-vincial competition each year, and some competitors qualify for the national Skills Canada competition. Held in Vancouver from June 5 to 8 this year, the competition featured over 500 com-petitors in 40 contest areas.
Leclair competed against four others in the electronics contest, one each from Ontar-io, Manitoba, Sas-katchewan and Prince Edward Island, and he completed a variety of tasks over the two-day challenge.
A few of the tasks he had to complete were: assemble a bread board, assemble a cir-cuit, construct cables, reverse engineer and troubleshoot a circuit.
Leclair hopes to attend British Colum-bia Institute of Tech-nology in September to start his post-sec-ondary schooling in electrical engineer-ing. However, he says he may go to North Island College and transfer to the Univer-sity of Victoria instead, still taking electrical engineering.
Vanier electronics teacher Steve Claas-sen has been teaching Leclair since Grade 8, and notes he saw potential in his stu-dent right away.
“Ever since Grade 8 he’s been one that I just went, ‘Wow, he’s on a mission, he’s got
the skills, and he’s just going to excel,’” recalls Claassen. “The quality that he can do is amaz-ing.”
Leclair has been interested in electron-ics since he was a boy.
“I was one of those
kids, you know, that rip everything apart, take it all apart, and not put it back togeth-er most of the time,” he says with a laugh, noting he puts things back together now.

Courtenay council has approved in prin-ciple a contract request from the police that includes the addition of one officer as of next April and a budget exceeding $5.5 million.
The City is respon-sible for 90 per cent of the budget, or more than $4.8 million — an increase of $36,880. The remaining 10 per cent is provided by the federal government.
An additional officer would increase Courte-nay’s share of 2014/15 contract costs by about $120,230. The total tax increase is about .9 per cent, and would gen-erate tax revenue of $157,110, according to a report from financial services director Tillie Manthey.
“It is doable from a financial perspec-tive,” Manthey said at Monday’s meeting. She notes the City funds two officers from gam-ing revenue and two from traffic fines.
The benchmark is one officer for every 750 persons.
Statistics from 2011 indicate Courtenay’s population of slightly fewer than 25,000 was served by 30 police offi-cers — one for every 832 persons. The pro-vincial average was 759 persons.
The per-capita was $220, slightly more than the provincial average of $217.
The Comox Valley RCMP detachment is a combined provincial/municipal detachment operating from the Ryan Road facility. An additional police officer would increase Cour-tenay’s membership to 31.4.
• • •The city will apply
for a B.C. Healthy Communities Grant and request LUSH Comox Valley to under-take the project.
• • •Lewis Bartholomew,
founder/director of The Alberni Project (TAP), has offered to volunteer his services to head a celebration for war veterans next June 6, marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the sinking of the HMCS Alberni.
Bartholomew asked council to designate 2014 the Year of the Veteran in the Comox Valley.
He hopes a down-town business will offer an empty store-front as a base, and to showcase the displays of TAP and Veterans
Affairs Canada for the entire year.
“I think we should be receptive,” said Coun. Jon Ambler, not-
ing 2014 also marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. [email protected]

A new playground at the old Glacier View Elementary School site is about $2,500 closer to reality thanks to a series of fundraisers involving musician Jesse Ruben.
Queneesh Elementa-ry acting vice-principal Jen Turner notes her Grade 6 and 7 class came up with the idea to invite the New York-based singer/songwrit-er back to the Valley to help fundraise for their project.
“It’s a great start for the project,” Turner says of the $2,500, not-ing at least $20,000 is needed for a basic piece of playground equip-ment, and her students already have numer-ous fundraising ideas cooked up for the fall, including a raffle which is in the works for Sep-tember.
“They have lots of ideas, and I know that the families down at the Glacier View site, whose little kids are going to the Waiting for the Bus program, are so happy that this is getting some attention, and they’re so excited for the future of that site down there for a playground for their kids.”
Now Glacier View Learning Centre, which is an alternate high school, the site has no playground as it was in disrepair and was torn down last year. But, the Waiting for the Bus program, which is similar to StrongStart, started at the school last year, and the tod-dlers in it haven’t had access to any play-ground equipment.
When Turner’s class at Queneesh heard about the issue, they quickly suggested see-ing if Ruben would come back to the Valley to help with some fun-draisers for new play-ground equipment.
Ruben came here earlier this year to help inspire Comox Valley students with his song We Can, which ties in well with the Valley’s I Can initiative — an initiative designed to empower students through self-directed community service projects.
Ruben agreed right away, and was here for a week earlier this month. Again, he vis-
ited various Valley elementary schools, providing inspirational concerts to students, but this time he also performed a couple of fundraising concerts, the largest being one at Queneesh, which saw about 580 people in attendance.
Ruben says he enjoyed seeing all the student completed I Can projects, many of which he saw in their early stages during his trip earlier this year.
“To see the progress that they’ve made in six months and the stuff that they’ve done,
like some of the proj-ects that those kids did were so incred-ible,” says Ruben. “I was totally blown away — from energy conservation to animal rescue, to like pretty heavy stuff, like sexual assault and women’s rights, and drug abuse and homelessness — and I mean they were heavy topics for these kids to take on and they really did it, they really went for it.”
Ruben adds he’s amazed at the way the Comox Valley has embraced him, noting people recognized him all over the community, like when he went out for lunch or dinner or
stopped by Tim Hor-tons.
He expects to release a new album early next year and plans to come to the Valley for one of his few album release shows.
“I want you guys to hear the songs before anybody else,” he says. “I love these kids, I love the parents. I think it’s an amazing, incredible
community and they’ve really embraced me in the last six or seven months.”
Meanwhile, Turner adds I Can continues to grow in Valley schools.
“Two years ago, it was three schools with 120 kids doing I Can showcase. This year it was five schools with 200 kids doing the I Can showcase,” she
says. “We (her and Ruben) visited four more that weren’t involved in the I Can showcase but they’re getting started, so it’s blossoming.
“It’s like the first teachers who decided to try this idea, threw the rock in the water, and the ripples are still going.”

Renee AndorRecord Staff
Each month, the Comox Valley Record is featuring articles about the history of St. Joseph’s General Hos-pital, which celebrates its centennial this year July 7. This is the final article of the series.
Sixty-thou-sand hours.
That’s the amount of time volun-teers spend, per year, helping out at St. Joseph’s General Hospital.
“That’s about the equiva-lent of 35 full-time people,” says the hospital’s manager of volunteer services Pat Allan. “But, it’s spread over, in any month, between 280 and 300 people.”
A whopping 750 people volunteer at the hospital — including casual volunteers — some helping to fundraise money for important equip-ment, and others providing a huge variety of services,
like reading to long-term care patients, working at the information desk and providing musical entertain-ment.
And this spirit of volun-teerism at St. Joseph’s is certainly nothing new. In
fact, as the hospital cel-ebrates its centennial year this summer, the St. Joseph’s Hospital Auxiliary is gearing up to celebrate
its centennial year in 2014.Dona Cameron — who is
a director on the hospital foundation board, was an executive on the Hospital Auxiliary during the 1990s, and worked as volunteer services manager for nearly a decade — remembers aux-iliary fundraisers from when she was a child.
“The main fundraisers were strawberry tea, which used to be held on the hos-pital grounds — I remember as a child in the 50s, going
to strawberry teas with my mom and my aunts — and then they did raffles, they did cake sales, bake sales…” recalls Cameron.
“They would raise, maybe $1,800 or $2,000 — that was a lot of money in those days, a lot of money.”
Allan notes the auxiliary,
which has more than 100 members, now raises about $200,000 per year for the hospital. Auxilians volunteer at the hospital gift shop and thrift shop, as well as other areas of the hospital.
Meanwhile, Cameron notes others, who were not members of the auxiliary,
volunteered in other ways from the beginning of the hospital’s existence.
“The old volunteers in my mother’s day… they gardened, they canned peas, and carrots, actually, and beans, I can remember that, and my memories go back to the late ‘40s,” says Cam-eron, adding others hemmed sheets, some would cut wood and deliver it to the hospi-tal, and some would come by with treats like a man known as the Cocoa Man.
“He was a short, rotund man, he came around every evening before lights out with a trolly and he brought cocoa and juice and tea,” she adds, noting she was in the hospital for months with polio as a child during the early ‘50s. “He just became my friend, like he would just stop at the door and talk to me every night.”
Going back even further, others helped clear land and physically build and expand the hospital.
Though the auxiliary has been around since the start, there was no formal volun-
teer program at the hospital until the late-90s, when the volunteer services program Allan manages came into existence.
Allan notes volunteers range in age from Grade 5 to 94 years old. Volun-teer groups at the hospital include the auxiliary, youth volunteers and general vol-unteers.
She adds volunteers make a huge impact at the hospi-tal, and points out the time and effort they give to help make St. Joseph’s the place it is.
“It’s very humbling to know how many people give their irreplaceable time,” says Allan. “They could choose to do anything they want, but what they do is give 60,000 volunteer hours a year (to the hospital).
“It’s a remarkable gift to the patients in residence and it also supports the staff at the hospital.”

When you are out and about in the Comox Valley this summer, you won’t be able to miss the bright-ly coloured Boys and Girls Club bus.
“It was a long time in the making, but through generous com-munity support we finally made it happen and we couldn’t be hap-pier with the finished product,” says Robin Smart, director human resources and manag-er operations for the
Comox Valley Club. “We had amaz-
ing community sup-port and would like to thank the follow-ing individuals; with-out their fundraising efforts this wouldn’t have been possible: Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons, Jumpstart and the Rotary Club of Cumberland. In addi-tion we’d also like to thank Steve and the team at ABC Print-ing for their generos-ity and workmanship
– the children love it!”In the Comox Valley,
the club runs before and after school care programs at Aspen Park Elementary, and Brooklyn Elementary as well as providing spring and summer day camps and facilitating parenting programs for local families.
For further informa-tion, visit www.bgccvi.com, e-mail [email protected] or phone 250-338-7582.

BERT HEERINGA, ROBIN Smart, Michelle Carty, Linda Oprica, Keith Pistell, Steve Hansen and John Challender show off the new bus.
Beach Bus returnsYour carefree commute to the
beach is back.The Comox Valley Regional Dis-
trict (CVRD) and BC Transit are bringing back the Beach Bus with expanded service to Goose Spit Park from June 21 to Sept. 8.
The Beach Bus was first intro-duced last summer with weekend rides only. This year the Beach Bus will run seven days a week.
The Beach Bus will see four return trips Monday to Friday, extended weekend service and an additional service running from Thrifty’s on Ryan Road direct to the beach on Sunday.
“Goose Spit Park is one of Comox Valley’s most popular places to visit in the summer,” said Don McRae, MLA for Comox Valley. “Daily Beach Bus commutes are a great oppor-tunity for visitors and residents to travel to Goose Spit Park without having to worry about driving and parking their vehicles, and have a fun day at the beach.”
“Last year, the Beach Bus pilot program offered residents and visi-
tors a great way to get to the Spit while avoiding traffic and parking problems,” said Edwin Grieve, chair of the CVRD’s board of directors. “Having the bus run seven days a week is an excellent service for those who don’t drive or who don’t want to drive, but still want to get to the park in the summer.
“Now all you need for a day at the beach is your water bottle, a hat, sunscreen and your bus pass!”
“We hope our customers take advantage of the Beach Bus,” said BC Transit President and CEO Manuel Achadinha.
“Goose Spit is a popular summer destination in the Comox Valley and we are pleased to see this seasonal service expanded to better serve our customers.”
Regular fares will apply; $1.75 for adults and $1.50 for seniors/youth.
For more information on Beach Bus schedules and on all transit ser-vices in the Comox Valley, call 250-339-5453 or consult www.bctransit.com/regions/com.

Torry and Sons Plumbing and Heat-ing is one of the first plumbing and heat-ing contractors in the Co mo x /S t ra thcona region to have a certifi-cate of achievement in the Built Green Build-er Training. Lance Petty — a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning specialist — has added a new dimension to his list of certifications.
Becoming a Built Green member in B.C. requires an inten-sive training course through the Canadian Home Builders Asso-ciation with a passing grade of 80 per cent or higher. Petty achieved a whopping 90 per cent on this program.
Built Green homes have less of an envi-ronmental impact than traditionally built homes because, by design, they conserve water, energy and other natural resources. They are energy effi-cient and use recycled or renewable products and materials. It cre-ates opportunities for buildings to be health-ier for the occupants and the environment. The emphasis is to look at the entire house as a cohesive system as opposed to individual working components of the house.
Living in a Built Green home ensures environmentally effec-tive use of building materials, enhances health and productiv-ity, long-term economic returns, lower electric and water utility costs, and reduced environ-mental impact. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. provides a 10 per
cent refund on mort-gage premiums and longer mortgage amor-tization for homes that reach an EnerGuide rating of 80 or higher. As such, there are great incentives and rewards for home builders to be part of the Built Green initiative.
The HVAC Built Green specialist can partner with builders and homeowners to address the intrica-cies of the mechanical, building best practices and building envelope strategies.

Summer is off to a rainy start in the Comox Valley; let’s hope the sun starts shining through soon so we can hit the great outdoors and enjoy all the great recreational opportunities the Valley has to offer.
Tripp Tease, the Comox Bay Sailing Club entry in the 2013 Black Press Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race, finished an impressive
third place overall in Division 1 of the biennial race around Vancouver Island.

Jesse Ruben great role model
Photo-op just not enough
Tripp Tease, the Comox Bay

Record Question of the Week
Dear editor,Last Thursday, my 10-year-old
grandson who attends Queneesh Elementary School and I went to the Jesse Ruben outdoor concert at École Puntledge Park.
Earlier in the day he had shown up at Queneesh unan-nounced and performed an impromptu concert for the chil-dren at their lunch break.
Attendance that evening was very good for a school night, with maybe 100 children and parents (and one grandparent) listening enthusiastically to this young man perform his own songs.
After a few songs, it started to rain. With good humour, Jesse continued to play and sing, while some held umbrellas over him and his equipment.
At one point, I was impressed at his statement that he wanted to sing music suitable for the age group of children, but also something that the adults would enjoy. As the rain continued, it was decided to take the remain-der of the concert indoors and have an autograph-signing ses-sion.
A couple more songs were performed inside, without sound equipment, and the autograph-ing began. Jesse announced he would stay until every child who wanted to have an autograph and/or photo taken with him was satisfied, and he did exactly that.
He was concerned that every-one who wanted a poster should have one, and I saw him take out his wallet and give $5 to a girl to purchase one. The lineup went down one wall of the gymnasium, and partway along a second wall.
We left after 8:30, and there were still a few stragglers. He took the time to talk to every child who had something to say to him. My grandson was thrilled to have Jesse sign his poster and pose with him for a photo.
I am not a fan of popular music, so until earlier this year when he first paid a visit to the Valley during the I Can initia-
tive, I had never heard of Jesse Ruben.
My grandson was very enthu-siastic about attending his con-cert at Queneesh, so his father took him to the first one. I felt privileged to attend the concert this time at École Puntledge Park.
While the music isn’t really to my taste, I listened intently to
his lyrics, and I was pleased and touched with what I heard. His songs are about life, mostly his life, but also about his family and friends, and one song that touched me, involved encourage-ment for a girl he met who was losing her mother to cancer.
In a day of so many question-ably suitable role models for young people among the current celebrities, I found Jesse Ruben is a wonderful role model for my grandson, who is also musical.
Jesse was generous and patient, and very humble. I real-ly thank him for enlightening this grandmother with his songs and particularly with his caring for his fans.
He said he wished more com-munities were like ours. I wish we had more celebrities like him.

When police and B.C’s anti-gang squad busted two of Greater Victoria’s “top-level” suspected drug traffickers recently, they held a press confer-ence and laid out a large quantity of drugs and paraphernalia for photographers and news media to record.
Police were proud to display their bounty, say-ing it “dismantled (the suspects’) ability to make money and create crime.”
But much like a fishing expedition, the sus-pects were caught and released, like large trophy fish, back to society. The reason, police say, is to allow investigators time to establish a maximum number of criminal charges.
Police further stated they are “concerned” that both ammunition and gun holsters were found, but no weapons.
Can we surmise from this then, that these two “highest priority targets on Vancouver Island,” who supposedly operated their grow-op-come-drug storage operations in heavily populated neigh-bourhoods filled with families and children, are now out and about with weapons?
Police admit the two suspects have a history of violent crime, drug trafficking and connections to organized drug crime in the Lower Mainland.
How can the public have any confidence in our justice system, if, after the arrest of suspected criminals police say “represent the top of the food chain for the Greater Victoria area,” they are allowed to walk away – even if only temporarily and under a close watch?
The police may have made a dent in their oper-ations, but there is no doubt that these two highly organized, apparently successful drug dealers will be able to pick up where they left off with the help of lesser-known and less-watched associates.
The arrest of suspects at that level needs to be more than simply a photo-op for police. The pub-lic deserves to know that along with taking the drugs off the street, the people behind the drugs are off the street as well. Victoria News

Not my cash for this bridge
Dear editor,I had hoped I would
never see the subject of the wooden bridge come up again.
The chairman of the Courtenay River Bridge Steering Com-mittee has presented a cheque to Courtenay council to keep the project alive. I guess you shouldn’t look at this offering with a jaundiced eye, even though it is difficult not to do so. But with an estimated cost of $2.8 million and the fact that the City has already spent $70,000 dollars for a feasibility study how far do they think $17,000 will go.
I would like to quote chairman Holland as stated in your paper. “We’ve said before, we’re not asking for more money from the taxpayers.” “We’re not asking for Courtenay taxpayers’ dollars.” “We will be going to higher levels of gov-ernments for programs and grants.”
I think chairman Holland should go
back to school to learn where all levels of government get their money. I can tell him it’s from us taxpayers. There’s only we tax-payers paying into the pie to be divided up in more ways than I care to think.
I will say it loud and clear again. I do not want any more of my tax dollars spent on a wooden bridge.
I see Coun. Ambler is all for it and is going to try to get City staff to provide the expertise.
Where is the money going to come from to pay staff for this expertise? I was glad to see the voice of wisdom, Coun. Win-chester, say, “Council has to set their priori-ties.” I would say the priorities should be repairing infrastruc-ture.
I hope all Courtenay taxpayers will feel as I do and ensure the tax and spenders are not re-elected.
Bernie Guyader,Courtenay
BROOKLYN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL teachers Marcia Green and Cathy Bulger are thanked for attending a recent tea party.
Two teachers thanked for tea
Dear editor,I would like to
thank Brooklyn Grade 3 teachers Marcia Green and Cathy Bulger for graciously attending the tea party that my friend Tessa Stewart and I assembled for our daughters and all of the other Grade 3 girls after school at Tessa’s home one fine June day.
These two teachers not only attended the tea in glorious attire, but (we heard through the grapevine) opted to spend the afternoon with the girls rather than with their peers at a special gathering.
I am sure that all of the parents are grate-ful for all that these teachers have done for the children dur-ing the school year, from creating interest-ing science and math projects to organizing cross-country runs and an afternoon of dance, executing various field trips, as well as pro-viding basic skills — and for always doing these things with good cheer.
The children have learned a great deal. And now, these lucky
girls might years from now nostalgically say, “Do you remember the day that our teachers came to tea?”
Lisa Grant,Comox Valley
What a razzle-dazzleDear editor,According to Mineral Titles
B.C., in 2007 Compliance Energy applied for a license to explore the coal deposits in the Anderson Lake area.
Their request finally made its way to the top of the queue. Some months ago the depart-ment checked with Compliance to confirm that it still wanted the licence. It said it did.
The recent statement by Mr. Stephen Ellis, Compliance’s VP of Operations, that the com-pany has no intention of explor-ing either the Anderson Lake or Bear Coal Mine areas, has caused some confusion. It was news to Mineral Titles B.C.
So why is Compliance put-ting the CVRD and other groups that must be consulted through all this trouble when it doesn’t intend to proceed?
What a razzle-dazzle. This situation reminds me of a
New Yorker cartoon. The Grim Reaper with his
black hoodie, long black cloak and sickle over his shoulder is knocking on the door of an apartment. A terrified man answers.
The reaper is handing him a note and saying, “Now don’t freak out. This is just a ‘save the date’ notice.”
The request for the Anderson Lake licence coincided with a similar request from Hillsbor-ough Resources Ltd., the owner of the Quinsam Mine near Campbell River.
It wants to explore the devel-opment of a mine in the Oyster River area at the northern bor-der of the CVRD. Gwyn Sproule nailed it when she suggested that we are in the midst of a “coal rush.”
These new mines represent a clear and present danger to the whole character of our Valley. So what can we do about them?
In the past we had some hope that governments would protect our homeland. But not any lon-ger.
Mr. Harper has introduced legislation to fast-track all future mining projects. At the same time he has gutted environmen-tal legislation to protect fish and their habitat and he has silenced federal scientists.
Christy Clark has commit-ted herself to supporting the development of eight new mines and the expansion of nine oth-ers. Both governments have limited or cut the number of public servants overseeing the environment. Local governments, handcuffed by outdated mining legislation, have no real decision-making authority.
Nor does the private sector provide encouragement.
The Comox Valley Economic Development Council has a man-date to support mining. A few months ago it mentioned Raven Mine as a benefit in a full-page ad promoting the Comox Valley in the Victoria Times-Colonist.
What lies ahead?One day in the near future
will we see a sign on the out-skirts of Fanny Bay: “Welcome to the Comox Valley—the Home of Coal?”
Will someone be running daily, Appalachian North tours of the Raven, Bear, and Anderson Lake mines —and throw in the Oyster River and Quinsam mines for good measure?
We are realizing what Dorothy realized about the homeland she loved when she said, “Toto, I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore.”
But we are not in Dorothy’s imaginary world of Oz. We are in the real world facing real dangers.
As has been the case before in this valley, protecting it is up to us. But to do so we have to pay special attention to the folks behind the corporate curtains. They are doing the coal mine two-step while they spin the development wheels and create the razzle-dazzle.
Mike Bell,Comox
Just collateral damage?Dear editor,I haven’t heard many writers
mention the road fatalities that are likely to occur during the 17-year operation of the mine, and transportation of the coal to Port Alberni.
At a meeting some time ago, we were told that the trucks would be hauling a trailer and running every half hour, 24 hours a day for 17 years.
School buses are using these
roads. Yes, there are logging trucks as well but never in the numbers that the Raven mine would be operating.
Are we to be told that this will just be collateral damage (so sorry and just get on with it)?
I would like to see the names and address in print of the peo-ple responsible for trying to put this mine into operation.
Jim Peloquin,Courtenay
It is well known the Filberg Heritage Lodge supports amazing art and culture in the Comox Valley.
But did you know that their support for fair trade has been making a difference to artisans in Cambodia?
This April, Cambo-dia’s finest artists went to New York City for a month-long Season of Cambodia.
San Vannary designed all the danc-ers’ silk costumes for a performance called A Bend in the River. Vannary has been able to rise to the top of her field by selling her exquisite silk acces-sories through select outlets like the Filberg
Gift Shop.Floating Stone Silks,
created by the Comox Valley’s Lynda Drury, travels the silk roads to bring back hand-loomed silk accessories and other ethically purchased wonders.
This Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., visit the Filberg Gift Shop to see her full line of fair trade silks and recycled fabric bags and purses. Ask about her Silk Tour in Cam-bodia and Laos in Feb-ruary 2014, where you will meet Vannary and other amazing creative people.
The tour offers a tapestry of vivid expe-riences.
Chat with artisans
weaving on their looms, under stilted houses. Venture into colourful markets and tiny river villages. Listen to the rice grow. Experiment with natural dyes.
Ride an elephant through lush forest. Sip local herbal drinks while learning to pre-pare exotic coconut curries. Experience the stony silence of carved
Apsara dancers in ancient temples. This is a land of antiquity, tradition and excep-tional beauty.
Learn more about this silk tour and sup-
port the work of the volunteers who loving-ly tend to all matters Filberg. The Filberg gift shop will have their one-of-a-kind delights and other gems as well
as Lynda’s silks and recycled fabric trea-sures for sale to help raise funds for the property.

This year’s Bike to Work Week winner is a husband-and-wife team from Cumber-land, Team Cumbie.
Janice Brown and Tony Morino logged 190 km and saved 44 kg of greenhouse gases out of the 19,587 km and 4,544 kg logged throughout the Comox Valley from May 27 to June 2.
This is the second year that Brown and Morino have partici-pated in the Bike to Work Week challenge and it will be the last year that Morino needs to borrow a commuter bike from a friend. His new ride is a 2013 Kona Dew donated by Simon’s Cycles.
For Morino, who works as a civil-ian employee at CFB Comox, it is 19.8 km from his doorstep to his shop but it is worth the ride.
Bike to Work Week is a great kickoff to build endurance as he heads into mountain bike season, and he credits the enthusiasm of the celebration sta-tions to keep him moti-vated.

DENMAN ISLAND — The Denman Island Summer Art Gallery’s third show of the sea-son will feature former Hornby Islanders Dante Ambriel and Tashi Draper, both well-known on the Hornby and Vancouver arts scenes.
This is their fourth summer on Denman at their Swan Road property.
Like many of us when we acquired our property, they were initially unable to focus on anything besides cleanup and renovations, but they have since found the time to go out and, as they put it, “see what Denman looks like.”
They have walked through forests, along lake trails, around old farms, and down rocky paths to hidden beaches, discovering unsuspected beauty in coves and inlets, freshwater creeks, waterfalls, mosses and rock for-mations.
Most of all they have strolled
the fringe of the island, exploring the access points of the Denman shoreline and photographing the ever-changing interface of sea and shore.
They felt that what they were seeing was so extraordinary, with such a magical quality, it deserved something special. Strolling the Fringe is their trib-ute to their new home and they are lyrical and passionate about it.
They are presenting a col-lection of 26 20x28-inch pho-tographs with a large map of Denman Island beach access points to facilitate our under-standing of where each image comes from and the time of year
it was captured.Each one was shot seven times
at different exposures, and the seven shots fused in such a way as to maximize the best features of each for an optimum repre-sentation of the beauty of each place.
The photographs are printed on a special metallic silver paper which gives a reflective quality to the image, an almost 3D effect.
One photograph was taken at Gravelley Bay on a sunny day in the herring season.
The bright turquoise colour of the water and the reflection of the sun on the ripples where the herring are, is nothing less than magical.
We are so used to seeing pho-tographs on a computer screen or monitor that we now take the back-lit effect for granted. Seeing a framed photograph on a wall normally gives a less luminous effect, but not in the case of these, which seem to have a light of their own. If you are a photog-rapher, you won’t want to miss this show.
The exhibit opens at 7 p.m. on June 27 and runs until July 9.
The Denman Gallery is right at the top of the ferry hill and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (1 to 3:45 p.m. on Sundays).

GUITARIST AND PRODUCER Pete Anderson (seen here with Michelle Shocked) will perform Aug. 2 at the Cumberland Hotel.
Guitarist headed to Cumberland
The Pete Anderson Trio performs as part of the Vancouver Island MusicFest Concert Series on Aug. 2 at the Cumberland Hotel.
Pete Anderson is a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning producer and ground-breaking gui-tarist, who melds blues and country to forge a style all his own.
Known as a pioneer in the roots-rock genre and an early champion of the Americana movement, he had a hand in introducing the world to artists such as Michelle Shocked, Lucinda Williams, Jim Lauder-dale, Rosie Flores and perhaps most famously, his musical partner of 20 years, Dwight Yoakam.
Pete is also a renowned bandleader who has played over 3,000 live shows in upwards of 15 coun-tries around the world and has appeared on Satur-day Night Live, David Letterman and The Tonight Show (19 times since 1986). Pete has released five critically acclaimed solo records on his own label Little Dog Records with another one in the pipeline.
With years of critical and commercial success to his name, not only as a guitarist and producer, but also as a songwriter, Pete is returning to his passion, the blues. In addition to being a `producer/musician, Anderson is also a businessman creating his own independent record label, Little Dog Records, over 15 years ago.
Little Dog Records has released records from a cross-section of artists that represent a wide range of American roots music, including Pete’s own solo work.
From the blue collar, mixed race neighbourhoods of Detroit to Hollywood’s early roots-rock scene and country music stardom to the new digital music industry and beyond, Anderson’s talent, work ethic, and innovative spirit have not only set him apart from the herd, but ensure his continued presence as a bright point in the future of the American music scene.
Tickets are available online at www.islandmu-sicfest.com/concerts.

Before it does, you still have the opportunity to come down to the Ava-lanche Bar to listen to great live jazz, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The smoothest jazz in the valley is coming to the Avalanche this Thursday, when Velvet Swing returns with its unique and new sound to entertain you with a selection of the best tunes of the Great American Songbook.
With Brent Hart on piano, Mike Schwartz on saxophones, Len Wilkie on drums, Roger Purdy on
bass and Kate Morrisson on vocals this quintet puts the “ooo” in smoooth!
Regular jazz audiences are familiar with the popu-lar work of Brent, Len and Mike, the three founding members of Velvet Swing, and the band is very excited to be joined by Roger Purdy, a bass player who grew up to Gershwin, Miles, and has a love of Broadway musi-cals.
His deft touch on the bass provides a solid foun-dation for the rest of the band.
Wonderful vocalist Kate spends a lot of her time in musical theatre, but she’s been persuaded to branch out and let her soaring
voice make songs like Sky-lark, Dream, and In a Sen-timental Mood come alive again.
Len Wilkie’s Sinatra-like vocal stylings are always a treat to hear since they have long been the hallmark of the original band, and Mike and Brent will also offer up a vocal or two.
The group has selected a wide range of tunes from Blue Bossa to The Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers to Duke’s Place, so that Mike and Brent can pass out some really tasty improvi-sations.
Easy going jazz! Perfect for a relaxed summer eve-ning’s entertainment. If you
haven’t sampled live jazz in our new Eighth Street loca-tion, come on down and dis-cover what so many people reckon is the best way to enjoy Thursday evenings, and kickstart an early weekend.
For more information about the Jazz Society and its goals, visit www.georgia-staightjazz.com or see it on Facebook.
The season closer will be held July 4. The new performance year will com-mence Sept. 12, with a mix of familiar and new acts over a 40-week period.
So much good jazz — but best of all — it’s live.

MusicFest sells out in record timeVancouver Island
MusicFest announced last week that the festival has sold out, beating last year’s record by two days.
This year, festival week-end passes sold out by May 28, with day passes selling out June 20.
“It’s been a record year for MusicFest ticket sales starting with the Christmas in July tickets. They sold out in less then 48 hours,” said operations manager Marcy Jaster. “Each subsequent series of tickets sold out quickly, making 2013 a record year all the way around.”
Preparations for the 2013 Vancouver Island MusicFest are well under-way.
Nearly 1,200 volunteers will be a part the team and dozens of local business are
working with the festival.Vancouver Island
MusicFest spends nearly $400,000 annually with businesses in the Comox Valley and generates mil-lions of dollars for the local economy.
Headlining this year are Kris Kristofferson, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Marc Cohn, John Hiatt and the Combo, and Walk Off the Earth.
Vancouver Island MusicFest takes place at the Comox Valley Exhibi-tion Grounds from July 12 to 14 with gates open July 12 at 3:30 p.m.

MusicFestTHE INDIGO GIRLS are among the headliners at the 2013 Vancouver Island MusicFest from July 12 to 14.
John McDermott can recall the precise moment when he real-ized that giving up his day job and making singing his full-time career had been the right decision.
That moment came Oct. 5, 1993 at 8 p.m. at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax as he walked on stage to a full house and a thunder-ous East Coast welcome.
It was his first concert with his own band, after a year as the opening act for the internationally renowned Irish group, The Chieftains.
He was received with such wild encore-inducing enthusiasm the concert turned into a four-hour mara-thon. John was hooked!
Now, 20 years and more than 25 albums later, John McDermott is an international recording star and household name.
Besides his stellar musical career — plati-num, double-platinum, triple-platinum albums and multiple Juno nominations — he is also known for his com-mitment to veterans’ causes.
They include the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honour Soci-
ety’s Bob Hope Award and the Ted Williams Globe & Anchor Award from the USMC.
Here at home, he got a commendation from the minister of veter-ans’ affairs for ongoing work that includes his foundation McDermott House Canada, which is dedicated to improv-
ing care in the final stages of terminal ill-ness and providing a warm, welcoming place to stay for Canada’s veterans, military, first responders and their families.
In concert, whether he is sharing the stage with a topnotch group of musical friends or touring the world as part of the famed Three Irish Tenors, McDermott continues to enchant audienc-es with his beautiful
tenor voice and sensi-tive renditions.
Though time and travel have intro-duced him to a wealth of new material and experiences, he man-ages to incorporate that diversity into his performances, while retaining the charm and humour that
endeared him to audiences from the beginning.
For this 20th A n n i v e r s a r y National Tour — a two-decade retrospective — McDermott will highlight a vari-ety of songs from his early record-ings through his latest releases.
He performs Nov. 2 at the Sid Williams The-
atre in Courtenay. For details, phone 250-338-2430, ext. 1 or visit www.sidwilliamsthe-atre.com.
— Shantero Productions
Ian Parsons will be at the Courtenay Library on June 27 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss his 33-year adventure in the RCMP.
It’s all detailed in his book No Easy Ride: Reflections on My Life in the RCMP, an adven-ture that took him from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, with many stops in between.
Ian will share colour-ful stories and insight-ful observations about his many roles within the RCMP, from post-ings in rural detach-ments, where he dealt with diverse policing issues, to stints teach-ing at the Canadian Police College in Otta-wa and at the RCMP Academy in Regina.
As stated by Morley Lymburner from Blue Line magazine, “I can only imagine a few peo-ple who could share the experiences as well as Ian Parsons. No Easy Ride leaves nothing to the imagination about where the force has come from and where it should be going.”
Originally from Sas-katchewan, Ian trained as a musician and then joined the RCMP in 1961. He also has a BA in Psychology and Law from Carleton Univer-sity. He has worked in Alberta, Saskatch-ewan, Ontario, New-foundland, Manitoba and BC, and he cur-rently lives in Cour-tenay.
This is a free event, open to all. The Cour-tenay library is located at 300 Sixth St. For
more information, con-tact the library at 250-334-3369 or visit the website at www.virl.bc.ca. — Courtenay

Bams gets boost of new boots for trip to RussiaScott Stanfield Record Staff
Local soccer standout Dylan Bams leaves this week for Kazan, Russia to represent Team Canada at the International Uni-versity Sports Federation (FISU) games next month.
The first stop is Guelph, Ont. for a training camp before the first game against France July 5. The squad then faces Peru July 8 and Brazil July 10. There are 16 teams in the tourna-ment. The final is July 16.
Bams, a 23-year-old mid-fielder from Fanny Bay, earned a spot on the 18-man roster from more than 100 CIS and NCAA players. He is enrolled in physical edu-cation at the University of Toronto, where he finished a five-year stint playing with the Varsity Blues soc-cer team. He was a four-time provincial all-star. In his last year he was named team MVP. He helped the Blues to three provincial
finals, winning the title in 2010. The team also quali-fied for three national tour-naments, twice losing in the semis.
Bams grew up playing soccer in the Comox Valley, moving through the house league system as a kid and eventually into rep teams.
At 14, he played for Nanai-mo’s Upper Island Gunners in the B.C. Select League. In high school, he helped the 2008 G.P Vanier soccer
team to a Vancouver Island championship and a berth at the B.C. tournament.
He is seeking financial assistance to attend the
FISU games as funding does not cover the costs.
Carey Cordocedo, owner of Top Notch Soccer in Courtenay, donated a pair of cleats to Bams.
“Considering he is a local boy filling his dreams by representing Canada at these games, and know-ing and playing with this young man, I am excited for him,” Cordocedo said.
The summer Universi-ade is a multi-sport event held every two years, sec-ond only to the Olympics in terms of the number of athletes and countries. The FISU games are open to athletes at least 17 and less than 28 years of age as of Jan. 1 in the year of the competition. Participants must be full-time college or university students, or have graduated in the year preceding the event.
Those wishing to help can contact Bams at 250-335-3373 (home), 416-206-8719 (cell) or [email protected].

Winner of inaugural GG Amateur guest at 40thThe 40th Thrifty Foods
Ladies Amateur Open at Glacier Greens Golf Course was held June 8. Moth-er Nature was kind and allowed 83 ladies to tee off under cloudy skies, cool temperatures, and without the need for rain gear.
Great playing conditions on a beautiful, manicured golf course resulted in some awesome scores. Shelly Stouffer from Fairwinds Golf Club fired a smooth 72 to capture field low gross honours and Lorna Fowler of the BC Player’s Club won field low net with a 57.
Thrifty Foods sponsors the field low gross and the trophy was presented to Shelly by Thrifty Foods manager Andy Carter. Sig-nature Wines sponsors the field low net and McKenzie Turnbull presented the tro-phy to Lorna.
Westview Ford, Visual Sound and Quick and Easy Granite were our hole-in-one sponsors. There were no aces, but maybe some-one will have better luck next time.
Winner of the inaugu-ral Glacier Greens Ladies Open 40 years ago (1973), Trudy Newman – now 90
years young – was in atten-dance at the dinner as an honorary guest. Trudy has enjoyed the game of golf for many years and is well-known in the golfing com-munity and we were truly honoured to have her as our guest.
A delicious meal of roast
pork with all the fixings, prepared by Caroline, was enjoyed by all the special guests, participants, and volunteers. A special thank you to Caroline and the clubhouse staff for going above and beyond our expectations. Also a big thank you to the volunteers
for giving up your time and talent, without you we couldn’t do it. Kudos to Bill Kelly and his pro shop staff for all they do to help make everything go smoothly. They are truly ambassa-dors for Glacier Greens. Last but not least, thank you to Steve Bailey and his
crew for providing us with great playing conditions on a course that is in awesome shape.
Flight winners were as follows:
A Flight Gross - Karen Kloske 73, Donna Doucett 76, Michelle McCann 77, Sally Dobler 78 (cb)/ Net - Ann Johnston 65, Nancy Newton 67, Sheila VanGis-bergen 68, Brenda Living-stone 70 (cb).
B Flight Gross - Karen Wade 84, Janet Edwards 92 (cb), Phyllis Taylor 92, Grace Coulter 93. Net - Ber-nice Henderson 67, Ellie Nicholas 69, Teresa Cutting 71 (cb), Martha MacKinnon 71 (cb).
C Flight Gross - Glenda Kinney 95, Joanne Forby 95, Rikki Farrell 98 (cb), Roberta Cadieu 98. Net - Melon Douglas, Fran Hutchison 68, Jean Kirby 71, Wendy Dowe 73.
A Secret Team Prize went to Gene Renaud, Grace Coulter and Ladonna Knudson. Skill prizes were awarded for: KPs - Sally Dobler #4, Karen Vanetta #7 & #12, Sheila Vangisber-gen #15 and Karen Wade #17.
Longest Drive - Joanne
Calverley #8 and Shelley Stouffer #10. Longest Putt on #9 Patti Harris.
Friday evening’s social, where many golfers partici-pated in the “Chip over the Pond” (not in the pond, like many of us) and a “Tomb-stone Game” helped to break the ice and provided lots of laughs with a mix-ture of expertise and a few downright ugly shots.
Lori Ross won the Chip over the Pond (half the proceeds to the winner and half to breast cancer). Tombstone winners were Gene Renaud and Fran Hutchison, 2nd Ellie Nicho-las and Marie Israel, 3rd Janet Edwards and Brenda Livingstone.
Many hours of hard work and dedication went into organizing and making this popular tournament a huge success. To Judy Fellbaum and her committee – bravo!
A special thank you to the Comox Valley Record for being our media print sponsor. Your support is appreciated. All sponsors will be gratefully acknowl-edged with a publication in the Record.

FIELD LOW GROSS winner Shelly Stouffer receives trophy from Thrifty Foods manager Andy Carter and inaugural tourney winner Trudy Newman.
Courtenay lawn bowlers Vern Green-hill and April Gilchrist won their four games in the Brazen Sports-wear Scotch Pairs, June 15-16 at the home green, to take the big trophy.
Having won their four games, they then had to face fellow club members Pat Cutt and Al Hopwood (who had also won their four games) in a three-end playoff for total points. Just to keep the crowd entertained, and oohing and aahing over the shots being made, the score was tied after three ends so a fourth was played with only two bowls (instead of four) being rolled by each bowler. The final shot came close and required a measurement for the winners.
Of the 10 prizes awarded, five went to Courtenay bowlers: Vern and April, Pat and Al, Melie Ursu-lom and John Kendall were third. Archie and Linda Harris and Car-ole Nelson and Peter Harding also only lost one game of their four.
Qualicum’s John Wilson and Jane Neil-son placed in the A event as well. With Parksville players Stu and Jan MacNaughton as well as defending champions Eileen and Bob Milsom of Powell River also in the mix, other clubs were well represented.
This is a great game and newcomers are always welcome.
In May, the execu-
tives of the seven clubs in the North Island/Powell River zone bowled for the Presi-dent’s Cup, which was won by the Port Alber-ni club. Courtenay was represented by April Gilchrist, Gaynor Bereza, Carolle Allen, Archie Harris, Frank Lo and Vern Greenhill, who came second.
On June 13, 10 ladies and 10 men travelled to Parksville for the Challenge Tro-phy (created by Randy Veitch) and won 10 games, tied three and lost three for an awe-some number of points to bring that trophy home for the third year in a row.
In Wednesday Tri-ples, Melie Usulom’s team is leading the way with six wins for 12 points. Vern Green-hill is next with eight points and 47 ends won, but Peter Hard-ing, Ron Boney and
Cath Wiseman have their teams geared up to challenge all those ends as they have eight points as well. Brent Joyce, Dean Penny and Bill Whitehouse are lurking in the back-ground waiting for that big break with six and seven points.
June 22-23 was Men’s and Women’s Triples in Qualicum, with Peter Harding, Bill Whitehouse and Frank Lo competing in the men’s category and Pat Chambers and Pat Cutt representing the ladies.

Cyclists conquer challenging Minto road courseUnder sunny skies
and rising tempera-tures, 29 riders lined up to contest the Comox Valley Cycle Club’s Minto Road Race.
With three catego-ries on offer; A’s racing 81km, B’s racing 63km, and C’s racing 36km, the tough Minto circuit took its toll as seven riders did not finish between the A and B categories.
Fourteen A riders lined up to start an exciting race that fea-tured two solo break-aways and an elite
selection of out-of-town riders. CVCC alumni Jordan Duncan (Team Russ Hay’s/Accent Inns) took the win as he prepares for nation-als this coming week-end.
The heat and length of the race took its toll with eight riders pull-ing out early during the A race.
In category B, nine riders lined up for a fast race. After a series of attacks five rid-ers escaped and the final came down to a group sprint. Local
rider Nicholas Parlee took the win after his twin brother, Damian, unfortunately flatted.
In C category eight riders lined up with local rider Hugh Park breaking away, fol-lowed shortly by out-of-town rider Allie Guenther. Working together for the full race, Hugh sprinted for the win over Allie.
The Comox Valley Cycle Club had four riders going to Cycling Nationals to ride for CyclingBC this past weekend in Quebec;
local riders Kia Van der Vliet and Gillian Ellsay (both riding for Trail Bicycles Cycling Team), and club alum-ni Jordan Duncan and Nigel Ellsay. Jordan was riding for the Vic-toria cycling squad Russ Hay’s/Accent Inn Cycling Team and Nigel, back from riding in France for Nation-als, for the Sojasun Espoir Cycling Team.

Last Friday night, under the lights of Bill Moore Memorial Park, the Comox Valley Men’s Baseball League’s Investors Group Dodg-ers lost to the Camp-bell River Blue Jays 6-3.
The Blue Jays bats were too strong for the Dodgers’ pitching staff. Braedon Rasmuesson and Keenan Andrews were the lone stand-outs for the Dodgers.
In the second game of the night the Pow-erhouse Drywall Ath-letics beat up on the Happy’s Source for Sports Reds 12-4. The A’s Josh Chapman had a strong outing on the hill and Brad Aitken led the way at the plate for the A’s with two doubles.
The CVMBL is a 19+ men’s baseball league. All games are Friday nights under the lights at Bill Moore park.
The Dodgers and A’s
are tied for top spot with 2-1-0 records. The
Blue Jays are 1-1-1 while the
Reds are 0-2-1. – Comox Valley

G.P. Vanier Sec-ondary in Courte-nay hosted their 27th annual Athletic Ban-quet on Tuesday, June 4 in their gymnasium where 300 athletes, parents, coaches, and special guests had the opportunity to rec-ognize excellence in athletics for the past school year as well as past excellence.
Numerous awards were presented not only to current stu-dent-athletes, but to former ones in the form of Wall of Fame Inductees. Big screen picture presentations played to the audi-ence throughout the evening. Guest speak-
ers, head coaches, and fine food all made the evening a special one to end Vanier’s much-touted athletic seasons – ones that rival any in the province at the Triple A level.
All the Grade 8 and 9 athletes received Certificates of Merit for participating in sport throughout the past school year. Eight of these athletes also received Athlete of the Year and All Around Athlete of the Year awards …the future of Vanier’s athletics looks promising.
Vanier inducted three main players in our community sports for their accomplish-
ments in sport not only at Vanier but beyond. Murray McRae (builder), Steve Knight (builder) and Simon Nessman (athlete) will each have their plaques posted on the Wall of Fame in the gym.
For mini-bios of these three, prepared by Vanier athletic director Larry Street, read this story online at www.comoxvalleyre-cord.com under ‘sports’.
One of last year’s Wall of Fame inductees was the main speaker this year. Cam Levins was the NCAA athlete of the year in track and an Olympian for Canada in London.
He now is running as a professional spon-sored by Nike and is on the world stage in his prime events of dis-tance running.
The crowd was so appreciative of hav-ing Levins there shar-ing personal moments with them.
