He may have gotten a late start, but Capt. Denis “Cheech” Beaulieu is making up for lost time.

The Bagotville-based pilot is at the helm for this year’s CF-18 Demonstration Team which is training for two weeks in the skies of the Comox Valley, and while he joined the forces less than 10 years ago, he had one ambition: to become a fighter pilot.

“A lot of my colleagues, it’s been a dream since they were young kids. They saw the Snow-birds at an air show when they were two or three, and ever since then they decided they wanted to be a pilot. I was a bit of a late bloomer; I decided to go towards aviation when I was in university,” he explained.

Following a degree in mechan-ical engineering in Sherbrooke, Que., Beaulieu decided he want-ed a career with more adventure and an opportunity for travel.

The Buckley Bay — Denman Island cable ferry is expected to be up and running late this sum-mer, says BC Ferries. As opposed to a crew of six that operates the self-propelled Quinitsa, three

people will be aboard the new ves-sel, which will be the longest of its kind in the world.

The corporation expects the cable ferry will save more than $80 million over 40 years.

“The $2 million in operational savings per year will come from a reduction in the labour compo-nent, a reduction in fuel savings because there’ll be a much small-er fuel consumption, and then a reduction in the maintenance,” said Mark Wilson, BC Ferries’ vice-president of engineering. “It’s a simpler vessel than a conven-tional ferry to maintain.”

Construction of the 78.5 metre cable ferry is nearing comple-tion at Seaspan’s Vancouver Ship-yards in North Vancouver. The vessel will be towed to its new route late-May and attached into the cable system.

It will operate with one drive cable and two guide cables, which will be strung in late-April. They will undergo a series of tests beforehand. Once the ferry is in place, there will be sea trials and cable change-outs to ensure the system meets operational and safety requirements. In June and July, crews will undergo train-

ing to prepare for passenger and vehicle service.

New berths have been built at Buckley Bay and Denman. Ruskin Construction and Vancou-ver Pile Driving have completed marine structures and “upland construction” to improve layouts for loading and unloading vehi-cles.

In recent years, Denman and Hornby Island residents have voiced opposition to the project, concerned about safety and reli-ability. Others are angry about job losses and crew reductions.

With nearly every school in School Dis-trict 71 having a gar-den, Heidi Jungwirth knows how beneficial it can be for students and staff.

“It’s pretty awesome, but it does have its challenges,” explains the Courtenay Elemen-tary School teacher and co-ordinator of the inaugural SD71 School Garden Conference.

Jungwirth says she created the conference in order to help teach-ers connect curriculum with gardening, share expertise and create networking opportuni-ties.

“I wanted to create a chance for everyone to get together and share ideas - we’re all doing the same thing but doing it indepen-dently.”

She adds topics such as traditional garden-ing, shoulder season gardening and the growing movement to garden with native food plants will be cov-ered.

Additionally, key-note speaker Brent Mansfield from Think & Eat Green @ School will talk about linking a 21st century curricu-lum to school gardens.

“I’m looking forward to him infusing his energy and ideas into the Valley,” adds Jung-wirth. “There’s lots of people living in the city who don’t have a gar-den. We’re going to talk about when school is out - which is a large part of the gardening season - we share the load and share the har-vest.

“We will talk about what it’s like to be partners with a school garden, and have com-munity members be

excited to have access to a garden, especially in downtown Courte-nay. It’s a win-win.”

With interest from all of the school dis-tricts on Vancouver

Island, Jungwirth said she has attendees con-firmed from Port Alber-ni, Campbell River and Powell River.

She has invited the Comox Valley Growers

and Seed Savers and a variety of vendors for networking opportuni-ties and to ask ques-tions.

Local agrologist and owner of Amara

Farm Arzeena Hamir has taken on the role of helping organize the day, and will com-pile feedback from the event into a document/guide which later will

be available on the school district website along with a list of frequently asked ques-tions.

The event is set for April 23 from 10 a.m.

to 3 p.m. at the Courte-nay Elementary School gym.

Wellness program a product of Walk for HeartsTerry FarrellRecord Staff

It’s been seven years since Al Manuel’s last bypass surgery.

He knows the only way to keep that number growing is through maintenance – cardio pulmonary wellness, so to speak.

He’s had the typical doctor’s advice, change of diet, change of habits. But recently his heart maintenance received a very practical boost.

Manuel has just completed the 12-week Cardio Pulmonary Wellness Program at the Comox Community Centre – a cus-tomized program for cardio patients that identifies the parameters of their cardio capacity, and sets up activity levels within those boundaries.

“The best thing about this program is that now I have a better idea of what I can do, in terms of challenging myself,” he said. “This program really offers some guidance, particularly in what I do from a physical standpoint.”

Simple conceptSarah Wright, a certified clinical exer-

cise specialist who leads the program, said the concept of the Cardio Pulmonary Well-ness Program is simple.

“It’s just to improve people’s quality of life,” she said. “We want to give people the tools to self manage and be more active, be more healthy, and better able to cope with things that come up along the way.

“The 12 weeks is a substantial time, so it usually helps people get past some sort of

stumbling block, and lets them learn how to manage themselves.”

The Cardio Pulmonary Program is an example of the funds raised at the First Open Heart Walkathon at work within the Comox Valley community.

Manuel is a mem-ber of the Comox Val-ley Chapter of the First Open Heart Society of BC. The ninth annual Open Heart Walkathon takes place Sunday, May 3 along the Courtenay estuary.

Funds raised at the walk remain in the com-munity, to help with programs such as the CP Wellness Program. The First Open Heart Society helped fund the pilot project for the Wellness Program, and remains a partner in the program, with ongoing equipment contributions, as well as subsidizing low-income clientele.

Heart disease prevalent in the ValleyHeart disease and cardio pulmonary

issues in general are more prevalent in the Comox Valley than most people realize.

According to the BC Ministry of Health Services Primary Health Care Chronic Disease Registries, the Comox Valley has a

yearly average of 2.2 per cent of its popula-tion (more than 1,400 residents) experienc-ing Congestive Heart Failure with about 10 per cent of these individuals requiring an emergency department visit due to symptoms and exacerbation of their dis-

ease.The numbers for

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are even higher, with 2.7 per cent of the Comox Valley popula-tion affected.

The Canadian Lung Association reports that chronic obstructive pulmo-nary disease – the most common chronic lung disease – is the fourth leading cause

of death in Canada.The Comox Valley Chapter of the First

Open Heart Society is a support group for anyone who has had a heart procedure, is about to undergo a heart procedure, or has any concerns with regards to prob-lems related to the heart along with their spouses.

The May 3 Walkathon begins at the Filberg Centre, follows a route around the airpark and back to the Filberg.

All funds raised stay in the Comox Val-ley and will be targeted to help support

Cardiac Care initiatives at St. Joseph's Hospital in Comox.

The First Open Heart Walkathon has raised in excess of $55,000 in its first eight years.

For more information, and pledge sheets, call 250-339-5349 or 250-335-1751.

The Cardio-Pulmonary Wellness Program, running out of the Comox Community Centre, is an example of funds from the First Open Heart Society Family Walk for Hearts at work in the community. Funds from the walk paid for the pilot project and there is an ongoing partnership between the First Open Heart Society and the CP Wellness Program.

Con't from Page 1“I recognize there’s

been some opposition and concern, but I think once we’re in service and this settles down and we prove that we do exactly what we say we’re going to do at BC Ferries, that there is going to be some posi-tive interest around it about being the lon-gest cable ferry in the world. I think that even some people will come to ride it and see it because of that. Irre-spective of salt water or fresh water, it’s the longest cable ferry in the world.”

He feels the $2 mil-lion yearly savings will help reduce upward pressure on fares.

“From my perspec-tive of why I think there is some con-troversy or concern around the residents, they do have a very, very good ship and a very, very reliable ser-vice,” Wilson said.

The Quinitsa will switch to a relief role for other vessels around the fleet. It could eventually be re-deployed.

Wilson said it takes about 30 employees, full-time and casual, to

crew the Quinitsa year-round.

“It’s not that we’re losing employees. Over half of that approxi-mate crew of 30 came from other point of assemblies in our staff-ing pool, and we’re just redeploying them else-where. Less than half of the actual crew of

the Quinitsa reside on Denman or Horn-by Island. We antici-pate no layoffs. We’ve been working with our union and the collec-tive agreement of our employees to do every-thing that we can.”

Crossing time will be about the same.

The cable ferry is

the first of four new vessels the company will introduce into ser-vice as part of a vessel replacement program. Three others are under construction in Poland.

“The first vessel out of that comes to Little River, Comox in fall of 2016,” Wilson said. “It’s been a few

years since we’ve built a new vessel. We have several vessels to build over the next 10 to 15 years.” [email protected]

Record Staff

Former Comox Valley Record publisher Jim Odo passed away on Wednesday, April 15.

Odo began his newspaper career at the Comox District Free Press (“The Greensheet”) in 1966 as an advertising sales person before progress-ing to advertising manager and then onto general man-ager. He retired, for the first time, in 1991. After a brief time without deadlines, Odo

returned to the industry to lead the Record as its pub-lisher.

He left the industry for good in 1995.

Odo was well known in the Comox Valley not only as a newspaper man, but also as an active volunteer, and for his contributions to numerous service clubs and associations.

He was a Courtenay city councillor from 1990 to 1993 and served on the City of Courtenay’s board of variance for 18 years.

He served as a director of the BC Summer Games (1981) and as the chairman of the BC Winter Games (1995).

Odo is survived by Gayle, his wife of 59 years, children Richard (Julie), Jim (Betty) and Connie (Michael), and sisters Jan, Sheila, and Hel-ena (Alex). A celebration of life will be held at the Sun-nydale Golf Club on Satur-day, April 25 at 2 p.m.

For a full obituary, see Thursday’s Record.

Ferry: No job loss anticipated for Quinitsa staff

Former Record publisher passes away

JIM ODO

Con't from Page 1“… I started think-

ing about aviation and I thought military aviation would be a good way. If I wanted to go military aviation, I decided to pick the fastest, the best air-plane that there is in the Canadian fleet, and that’s the F18.”

A member of the 425 “Alouettes” Tactical Fighter Squadron at 3 Wing, Beaulieu has more than 800 hours of flying time on the aircraft, and along with meeting a variety of other requirements and qualifications, he was chosen in January for the one-year assign-ment as demo pilot.

From Texas to PEI and many stops in between, the upcoming air show schedule for Beaulieu and his main-tenance crew is a busy one, but he noted the two weeks of April fly-ing in Comox provides a unique opportunity for training.

“At this stage in my training, I’ve done all my training in Bagot-ville, my home base. But I’ve never done (any) over the water, so the depth perspective and the ground rush is not going to be the same. The visual cues are not going to be the same.”

While loops, upside down and sideways fly-ing is part of the usual training for F18 pilots, Beaulieu explained the maneuvers are generally reserved for combat missions. The biggest difference between what he will be performing at air shows and usual flying is the altitude.

“Usually when we do fly upside down, it’s at a lot higher altitude. So the risk factor doing that at 300 feet above ground is increased a lot, that’s why we have a good training program and we start higher; as I get more familiar and more com-fortable, I get lower and lower.”

While the aero-batics Beaulieu will undertake during the summer across North America will be eye-catching, the plane itself is decorated to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Bat-tle of Britain.

Based on the fighter aircrafts that Cana-dian pilots flew at the

time, the design par-ticularly pays homage to the Hawker Hurri-cane 401 Squadron - an all-Canadian squadron that flew with the Royal Air Force.

As for his nickname, Beaulieu maintains he can only reveal so much about its origins.

“Every fighter pilot in Canada and in the United States, France, England, they all get a nickname and we call that a call sign. You don’t get to pick yours, it’s something that is given to you by your peers. It’s usually relat-ed to a funny story or something you messed up or a play on your name. And it’s reserved to that very close circle that is the fighter pilot community,” he added with a laugh.

Pilot: Training over water something new

Hornby getting a new fire hallScott Stanfield Record Staff

Hornby Island residents voted over-whelmingly in favour of constructing a new fire hall, according to unofficial results from Saturday’s ref-erendum. Numbers released Monday indi-cate 83 per cent of respondents (623) said yes and 17 per cent (126) said no to a pro-posed loan authoriza-tion bylaw to build a new facility.

There are 834 eli-gible voters on Hornby, meaning the referen-dum attracted a 94.6 per cent voter turnout.

An alternate approv-al process in January prevented the regional district board from adopting the bylaw, prompting the referen-dum.

The $1.9 million project will be funded by $1.6 million in debt financing, $200,000 in federal gas tax funds and $100,000 from reserves. Hornby prop-erty owners will pay an average $24 per year to repay the borrowed funds.

Saturday, April 25, will mark the centen-nial of Anzac (Austra-lian and New Zealand Army Corp) and the HMCS Alberni Muse-um and Memorial will host the first annual Anzac Day commem-oration at its Comox Centre Mall location at 12:30 p.m.

This will also be in honour of the 100th anniversary of the Bat-tle of Gallipoli, a battle of the First World War. Anzac Day is similar to Canadian Remem-brance Day in honour-ing Commonwealth Military Forces.

Musical guest will be Shayne Stuchbury who will provide music in both English and Maori. The Remem-brance ceremony will be presented by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160 (Comox) after which the audi-ence will be treated to an expression of what Anzac Day represents with presentations by Lucas Evans and Cathy Kaardal.

The museum will also have a small interactive exhibit on Anzac Day as well as two documentary film areas playing short films on a loop and will present the 1981 film Gallipoli with Mel Gib-son at approximately 2 p.m. with admission by donation in the neigh-bouring store front.

The Museum is also expecting a shipment of actual Anzac Day pop-pies from the RSA in New Zealand to wear for this event. These can be purchased from

any Museum volunteer for $2 with all proceeds benefiting the Muse-um’s Remembrance Days fund.

Project Watershed honours KFNComox Valley Project Watershed Society was

pleased to present the 2015 “Keeping it Living” award to K’ómoks First Nation, in a recent cer-emony. This award is given each year to recognize an individual or organization that has gone above and beyond to work towards the protection and restoration of the K’ómoks Estuary. An original painting of the estuary by local artist Bev Byerley was presented to the K’ómoks First Nation.

“This year’s award recognizes the leadership role the K’ómoks First Nation has taken in the estuary by developing a Guardian Watchman Program and carrying on the work of developing

a K’ómoks Estuary Management Plan,” states Don Castleden, Project Watershed Director and Chair of the Estuary Working Group.

The award was presented to Chief and Coun-cil at their People’s Assembly. In addition to the award ceremony, the new Guardian Watchman Program was officially announced.

Project Watershed Board Chair Paul Horgen notes, “Three of the four governments bordering the estuary have been recipients of this award over the last five years, which has fostered part-nership and cooperation with local governments to protect and restore the K’ómoks estuary.”

Land sell-off leaves millions on the table

Fassbender toes party line

The B.C. Liberal govern-ment’s sale of Crown properties to help bal-

ance its election budget was the dominant story in the legislature last week, as the NDP revealed evidence of a “fire sale” that may have left millions on the table.

They started with Burke Mountain, the biggest single deal involving 14 view properties in Coquitlam.

The buyer was a prominent developer whose array of com-panies happened to donate nearly $1 mil-lion to the B.C. Lib-eral Party since 2000.

The $85 million price tag was similar to the B.C. Assessment Authority value on these for-ested properties, but an outside appraisal concluded they could have fetched an additional $43 million if they had spent more time on the hot Lower Mainland real estate market.

(This sale made headlines last fall for the province’s $8 million buyout of the local First Nation’s undefined territorial claim, when it was revealed the chief of the tiny Kwikwitlem First Nation pocketed an $800,000 commis-sion.)

The government’s defence of the sale went from wobbly to weak. Citizens’ Services Min-ister Amrik Virk was caught flat-footed and tried to get by on platitudes rather than retreat and find some answers.

Premier Christy Clark weighed in, arguing that the budget would have balanced without the property sale, and that some sales closed too late to help the election-year budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong stressed that all these asset sales were detailed in three successive budgets. They downplayed the

notion of land sales being rushed.

Then the NDP produced a string of emails sent between senior officials responsible for sell-ing two big properties across the street from the legislature.

“To be part of the sale and development of over eight acres of Victoria’s beautiful inner har-bour area is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity that normally would warrant years of planning and preparation,” wrote one citizens’ services bureaucrat. “Unfortunately we don’t have unlimited time – our goal is to have For Sale signs up by Oct. 31 with sales proceeds in the bank by March 31, 2013.”

Then came a disclosure about a property in Surrey that had been bought as a potential hospi-tal site. Once the existing hospi-tal was expanded, that property was declared surplus. Indeed, de Jong featured this property to promote the government’s plan to stimulate local economies with private sector investment on unused land.

The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fiscal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million.

The appraiser also recom-mended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office development.

De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted.

But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had everything to do with the B.C. Liberals’ need to balance the books. When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality.

It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmonized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of international finance.

Surplus asset sales have a long tradition in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land. But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

We’ve all had times when we say some-thing stupid, or that we later regret for one reason or another.

The usual thing to do is either apologize and move on, or at least pretend it never happened. Unless you’re the B.C. Liberal government; then you make it part of public policy.

Earlier this month, after a day of protests over funding cuts to the school system, Education Min-ister Peter Fassbender supported Premier Christy Clark’s shocking comment that school districts could simply slash “the low-hanging fruit” out of their budgets.

Clark’s comment, made as she delivered a pro-vincial budget that asked the province’s school districts to come up with $29 million in cuts — while claiming to be increasing funding to education — was met with disbelief from school administrators, trustees and parents.

From their side, school boards across the prov-ince responded that there are no easy cuts left to make. That’s pretty much common sense, taking into account the last decade of cuts school dis-tricts have been making to balance budget short-falls.

Over the years, local school districts have been able to accomplish amazing things even with shrinking budgets, and will no doubt continue to do so. But that is not the same as saying they are adequately funded, or can cut any more out of their budgets without pain.

It’s time for the provincial government to stop trying to sell the line that they are increasing funding to the school system. The cuts at the grassroots level have been going on too long for that to be believable.

When you consider the number of people that turned out for a provincial day of protests against the cuts on April 10, you have to wonder how Fassbender could continue to support Clark’s low-hanging fruit ideology by saying that “there’s nothing to be gained by perpetuating a myth that our public education system is underfunded and broken.”

There’s even less to be gained by pretending it isn’t.

Dear editor,These are exciting

times for the I Belong! campaign. Although Don McRae’s recent announcement of gov-ernment funding has caught the headlines, the efforts of the local Women’s Business Net-work cannot go unno-ticed.

The CV Women’s Business Network was the driving force behind

the recent production of Steve Hill’s When I’m 64, a funny yet poignant portrayal which invited theatergoers into the hearts and heads of five female characters. All proceeds from two sold-out performances at Sid Williams Theatre - over $15,000! - were donated to the L’Arche I Belong! campaign.

The individual acts of generosity that made

this possible are many. Beginning with Steve Hill’s permission to forego royalties on the production, there are the many actors who contributed hours of rehearsal time and a visible emotional invest-ment. Sound and stage managers, backstage crew, program design-ers, photographers - all gave generously and gave their best to make

this theatrical event the success it was. Behind the scenes, the Women’s Business Network worked tirelessly to pro-mote and orchestrate the event - this is our community at its best and L’Arche Comox Val-ley is truly grateful for the support. Thank you, everyone!

WATER MAIN FLUSHING and FIRE HYDRANT MAINTENANCE

(April 20 – May 22, 2015)

The Town of Comox wishes to advise residents that the Public Works Department will be proceeding with the annual � ushing of water mains and maintenance of all � re hydrants within the Town of Comox. This program will commence on Monday, April 20, 2015 and should be completed by Friday, May 22, 2015. All work will take place from Monday to Friday between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm.

This program may result in temporary but harmless discolouration of the water. Should this occur, running a cold water tap for a short period will help to restore water quality to normal. Where practical, residents should avoid washing laundry during operational hours as to do so could result in discoloration of clothes.

Should you have any questions or concerns please call 250.339.5410 and leave a message for the Public Works staff.

Compliance has bigger issues than Raven MineDear editor,In the last seven years

the only things Compliance Energy has delivered on reli-ably are meaningless dates and missed deadlines, cul-minating with last month’s voluntary application with-drawal.

“Misinformation has been circulating in some com-munities,” said the company in its March 2 letter to the EAO, wherein it voluntarily withdrew its latest coal mine application.

And that is without ever getting into the all-important technical details of water, shellfish, trucking, coal dust and the impacts of a coal port - issues the public has been denied a chance to examine for seven years. There may be misinforma-tion lurking in that material too, but the EAO didn’t get

that far: it put together 62 pages of deficiencies in the application, without even completing the screening.

Compliance has also con-spicuously failed to deliver on the only benefit of the mine and its associated trucking and port activities: “350 new, well-paying, full-time jobs and hundreds of indirect jobs in the Comox Valley, Port Alberni and sur-rounding regions.”

When pigs fly.

Today, coal companies are in despair. Coal prices have seldom been lower.

Mines are closing every-where, including B.C. These grim conditions, as well as Compliance’s unique style, are reflected in the compa-ny’s share price: it closed last week at two cents.

The company’s auditors included a rare, and serious, “Emphasis of Matter” in last year’s financial statements, warning shareholders that

there is “significant doubt about [the company’s] ability to continue as a going con-cern.”

Among the concerns was a $9 million deficit - six times the deemed “market value” of the company.

Compliance may be able to pull itself together enough to get an acceptable applica-tion into the EAO for a full environmental assessment. But in today’s coal market it could never attract the investment necessary to build a mine.

Coal prices may increase again, one day, and the Raven mine or something like it may come back again. It will be as unpopular then, as it is now, for all the same reasons.

Letters to the Editor

Dear editor,I am writing this letter to

deliver accolades to the nurs-es of the Medical Daycare Department and Medical Day Care Bookings as well as a “what the heck?” scratch of the head to the hospital administration of St. Joseph’s Hospital. The Medical Day-care Unit is bearing a huge burden of IV antibiotics/blood transfusions/iron infusions and many other procedures for thousands of patients a year with seemingly no sup-port from administration.

Most of these patients in the past would be inpatients. The nurses in this depart-

ment say they have been advocating for the past 10 years that they need more space and staff to deliver a basic standard of care for the community with what they say is no response. In the last 10 years the num-ber of patients cared for in this department has gone from 334 to 6,125 per year. Patients requiring IV anti-biotics have increased from 156 per year to 2,905 per year. Patients receiving iron infusions have gone from 0 to over 1,000 per year. Same four chairs and one nurse.

The administration touts that the patients taking up

space in the hospital (alter-nate level of care) are one of the major problems “bottle-necking” access to inpatient/surgical beds. When patients who are waiting for blood transfusions become so weak that they fall and break a hip while waiting days for a four-hour treatment end up need-ing months of care in an ALC bed, how is this “managing” community needs? When an elderly patient is in need of heparin injection (their numbers have gone from 51 to 1013 in 10 years) develops lung or leg clots and now is in need of ICU or long-term inpatient care, how is this

being fiscally responsible or delivering “care with compas-sion”?

Only when it is a loved one will it hit home.

I am hoping that the hospital administration use their “masters degree in health care administration” diplomas hung on the walls of their well-furnished offices to do more than cover nail holes. You are charged with managing and administrat-ing the health care of this community. Do your jobs and fix this.

Barbara Mellin, RNComox

The average student now completes their post-secondary education with over $28,000 in student loans, not includ-ing compound interests that accrue after graduation. Stu-dent debt has surpassed the average Canadian consumer debt (which sits at an average of $20,967) and ranks second only behind mortgage debt. Janice Stuber, a personal bankruptcy trustee with MNP Debt, says the trend is an alarming one, and that it could affect Gen-eration Y consumers and their ability to establish households in the future.

“Students are going out into a weaker job market already heavily in debt, and then struggling to find a job that can effectively pay down that debt. Defaulting on their loans becomes inevitable for many, especially for those who lack financial planning skills,” Stu-ber said.

In 2013, the CIBC Centre for Human Capital said that 14 per cent of Canadian Student Loans Program (CSLP) borrow-ers defaulted on loans with-in the first three years after leaving school. In the last four years, the federal government announced it is writing off $295 million in uncollected Canada Student Loans from more than 63,000 bad debts.

Canadian taxpayers and the economy could continue to take a hit as new graduates finish their education with more debt than ever.

Over the next 25 years, gov-ernment predicts tuition fees will rise at a rate of 2.5 per cent above inflation annually.

A report by TD Economics compared the costs of a degree now versus the projected costs of a degree for a child born in 2011. The increase is stag-gering. The report estimates a student who started studying

in 2011 would spend $55,000 during their degree if living at home and $84,000 if living away from home. For children born in 2011, this number is projected to grow to $102,286 if they live at home, and $139,380 away from home while at college or university.

“Indebted graduates often have a low net worth and own few or no assets. Many more have no savings or investments at all,” Stuber said.

Debt-ridden young couples are even postponing mile-stones such as marriage, buying a house and having children because of the strain student debts have put on household finances.

With the predictions of even greater debt loads to come, stu-dents are advised to seek coun-selling and develop a plan to repay debts as soon as they graduate, or even before gradu-ation.

scott stanfield Record Staff

David Crosby headlined Vancouver Island MusicFest in 2011.

This year, Graham Nash has been added to the list of performers, the festival’s executive producer Doug Cox confirmed Thursday.

“He’s going to be touring as part of a duo, and I’m not sure who the second person is going to be,” Cox said. “I’m just thrilled that we get to have him come. He’s an interesting guy.”

Born in war-time England, Nash was a member of the Hollies who, along with

the Beatles and Rolling Stones, were part of the British Invasion in the 1960s.

Later, after moving to Cali-fornia and ‘join-ing’ the Laurel Canyon music scene, he became part of the super-group trio Crosby, Stills and Nash, a pioneering band that appeared at Woodstock and undertook the

first-ever stadium tour.“From a musical standpoint, there was

nobody like them,” Cox said. “They did the first gigantic rock stadium tour with Bill Graham. And then the social aspect of their music as well, which Graham Nash has always been a huge supporter of. The No Nukes concert that happened in the '70s was one of the first gigantic benefit concerts.”

The Nash song Military Madness, record-ed during the Vietnam War, was one of the first anti-war songs recorded by a pop star.

At times, the overtones of the trio’s voices creates a fourth part.

“It’s called a ghost harmony, and they were kind of the masters of that,” said Cox. “Quite often when you listen to Crosby, Stills and Nash recordings, you actually hear four parts. That, to me, is one of the

magical things about those guys. They don’t just sing great harmony but they’re able to mess around with their harmonic pitch enough that they can create that

fourth part. It takes unique vocal tones for that to happen. It’s not just something that anybody can do.

“They wrote the book on open tunings.

They wrote the book on so many differ-ent aspects of what’s become modern pop music,” Cox added. “It was pretty unusual the style they created. I don’t think anyone has ever compared in the same way.”

Nash has penned an autobiography dubbed Wild Tales. He continues to per-form — sometimes solo, sometimes with Crosby, and at times with Crosby and Ste-phen Stills.

And he continues to speak out about issues, be it the peace movement, the human rights movement or the environ-mental movement.

“He’s one of the absolute icons of his generation,” Cox said. “He continues to be a voice of sanity. He’s forever spoken out about what he believes in.”

Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee (with Crosby, Stills, and Nash and with the Hollies). He was also inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame twice, as a solo artist and with CSN, and he is a Grammy Award winner.

MusicFest is July 10-12 at the Comox Valley Fairgrounds.

Lyle Lovett and his Large Band headline Friday night and Buddy Guy performs Sat-urday. Nash is slated to hit the stage Sun-day. Closing the festival will be Leftover Salmon featuring Bill Payne of Little Feat.

This year’s event features a tribute to Long John Baldry, with whom Cox once toured as part of his acoustic trio. Also featured is Maggie Bell — known as Scot-land’s Queen of Soul — who sang on Baldry’s album, It Ain’t Easy and on Rod Stewart’s Every Picture Tells A Story.

“John was basically the father of the British blues movement,” Cox said. “Elton John named himself after John Baldry. Both Rod Stewart and Elton John started out in Baldry’s band.”

There will also be a project called the World Beat at Home, a concert featuring an array of multi-cultural musicians who reside in B.C.

And now for something com-pletely different…

In a season which has featured increasingly larger combos, Georgia Straight Jazz Society presents a duet at The Avalanche this Thurs-day, and an evening of romantic, sensual and sentimental music.

To celebrate her upcoming CD release, bilingual vocalist Heather Keizur returns to Vancouver Island, part of her North American tour, for her appearance in Courtenay. Steve Christofferson joins Keizur to share their passion for jazz.

Keizur and Christofferson have performed together for over six years – a working relationship that was formed by happenstance, near-ly seven years ago.

“Someone else was supposed to be playing with me on a gig in December 2008 when at the last

minute, I got a call saying that he couldn’t make it. So that night Steve filled in,” said Keizur. “That’s when the magic began.”

Keizur and Christofferson are of one mind when it comes to mak-ing music. The great Joe Williams once told Christofferson, “Sing like there’s no tomorrow.”

When Keizur and Christofferson perform together, you feel as if they have been doing so all of their lives.

Keizur’s new CD, Under My Skin, includes songs such as “’S Wonderful,” in an arrangement that will make you smile, and “Avec Le Temps” that will touch your heart to its core.

“When we made this recording the idea was to go into the studio to make music, not a CD,” said Keizur. “Only the tunes that sounded like magic made the cut.”

The show will feature songs from the new CD, together with some classic French chansons as well as a few pop songs in jazz genre that remind her of her days growing up in B.C.

Keizur’s performances showcase a mature talent that is equally at ease with jazz standards and French chansons. Christofferson’s piano, melodica, and vocals add a powerful depth to the duo’s music.

Keizur, who lived in Nanaimo and Victoria, regularly performs in Portland, Oregon, a city she now calls home.

Show time is 7:30 p.m. Admission for this show is $10 for members, and $12 for non-members. For more information about the Jazz Society, and other forthcoming events, see our website georgiastraightjazz.com, or find us on Facebook.

Keizur and Christofferson team up for GSJS gigCourtenay Little Theatre is presenting another of its

popular Event Night play readings on Tuesday, April 21 at its rehearsal space, 1625 McPhee Ave., and is inviting community members to attend. Doors open at 7 p.m., with admission by freewill donation at the door. Help yourself to tea and coffee, with announcements beginning at 7:15 p.m.

The 45-minute play reading of Lewis John Carlino’s one-act play entitled The Dirty Old Man, will begin promptly at 7:30. Directed by Kirstin Humpherys, the cast includes Brian Mather, Heather Barner and Percy Gledhill.

Lewis John Carlino is best known as a scriptwriter and director. He directed The Great Santini and wrote I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. He also wrote plays and The Dirty Old Man gives us an example of his skill. This is a story of an Old Man who is indulging in memories and wine while sitting in his favourite spot overlooking the sea. Enter Holly and Chuck, teenagers looking for a place to pursue some pri-vate intimacy. The Old Man’s presence changes everything, leading to a stunning climax which leaves the Old Man and the audience alike contemplating the complexity of growing old.

Seating is limited for this popular event so please arrive promptly at 7.

Seven Comox Valley Aquatic Club Sharks travelled to Toronto to compete at the 2015 Cana-dian Trials and train with the Markham Aquatic Club and Brantford Aquatic Club.

Upon landing in Toronto, the training camp group of Gabri-elle Wolfe, Jared Theriault, Cole Young, Emma Neufeld and Tri-als competitors Ben Neufeld, Jordyn Ryan and Brooke Lamou-reux joined Canadian Swimming Olympic family, Heather and Brittany MacLean and their sup-portive parents Michele and Dan for dinner before checking into their accommodations.

The following day started early as Sharks’ head coach Kris Bell and the training camp group was on deck at 5:15 a.m. with the host Markham Aquatic Club. The small group of Sharks continued to train with Markham club, trav-elling between six beautiful facili-

ties highlighted by their brand new Markham Pan Am Sports Centre.

Lamoureux, Ryan and Neufeld each earned times fast enough to qualify for the highest com-petition in Canadian swimming. The dedicated three entered the newly opened Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, host of the 2015 Canadi-an Swimming Trials, for pre-meet train-ing. Lamoureux, the veteran of the group, was entering her fourth Trials competi-tion while Ryan and Neufeld prepared to compete at their first.

“Brooke was able to lead her team on the first day to a per-sonal best time by over 10 sec-onds, posting a club record and an eighth place finish in the 1500m freestyle,” said coach Bell. “This

was the first-ever top-eight finish in Sharks’ history. She followed it up with a 13th place finish in the 800 free,” Bell said.

First-time qualifier Ryan dropped three seconds from her best time in the 200 butterfly during the preliminary session to qualify in the top 20, secur-

ing a lane to compete in the B final. “As Jordyn marched out with her competitors, her con-fidence and strong work ethic allowed her to have the third fastest last 50 metres of her field,

securing another best time and club record,” Bell added.

As the Canadian trials com-pleted, both Lamoureux and Ryan were selected to the 2015 Western Canada Games Team.

Both the Camp and Competi-tors then travelled to Brantford to train and stay with members of

the Brantford Aquatic Club’s senior squad. The courtesy of the club and its families was a highlight for each member of the Sharks as they created lifelong friends and supporters in each of their clubs’ quest for excellence, Bell said.

The two weeks of training and competing was not just work: the swimmers enjoyed time to them-selves as they explored downtown Toronto on several occasions and a day trip to Niagara Falls while

competing in a scavenger hunt, ensuring each swimmer experi-enced everything Ontario’s capi-tal had to offer.

Bell said he is grateful for the generosity and the experience members of the Sharks gained from training with Markham and Brantford Aquatic Clubs and hopes to continue the friendships and training partnerships in the future.

“A special thank you to our val-ued sponsors, Comox Valley Nis-san and Bayview Chiropractic,” Bell said, noting they made the trip possible.

If interested in becoming a sponsor or member of the Sharks, or for more information/updates on the Comox Valley Aquatic Club, check out their website sharks.bc.ca and their Twitter feed @ComoxSharks.

Fun golf tournament at Crown Isle supports Boys and Girls ClubThe Boys and Girls Club of Central Van-

couver Island invites the public to tee it up at their 13th annual Golf Tournament, taking place May 29 at the Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community.

This popular annual event is a major fundraising initiative of the club and a great opportunity for local businesses, fam-ilies, and friends to join the fun and share a unique community experience.

The golf tournament is fun for any skill level, even if you’ve never golfed before, and a great social outing to share with your staff, your favourite clients, or neigh-bours. If you can’t spend the day, there are

lots of other ways to be involved including donations of silent auction items, gift certificates for ser-vices, on site spon-sorships, or by being a volunteer.

“We have lots of activities planned for a fun-filled day on the course followed by a delicious dinner and entertainment,” says BGCCVI director and event coordinator Robin Smart. “We’re looking forward to working with some new faces and com-

munity partners this year, and spending the day getting to know the people in the business commu-nity who support us.”

“The BGCCVI offers families access to a wide range of services each year,

including parenting support and resources, licensed child care programs, and before and after school care,” says BGCCVI direc-tor of communication Kelly Barnie. “Host-ing a community fundraising event is a

wonderful way to bring people together and meet some of our financial goals at the same time.”

Sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses wanting to feature on-site samples, displays, or get their business mentioned to listeners of 98.9 The Goat.

For more information on how to reg-ister your team, ask about sponsoring opportunities, or donate items to the silent auction, email [email protected], call 250-218-0904 or visit the BGCCVI website at http://www.bgccvi.com.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amalia Tancon on April 13, 2015 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. Amalia (nee Adami) was born November 13, 1924 in

the village of Gares in the Dolomite Alps of Northeastern Italy. She married Ottorino Alberto Tancon in 1947 and moved to his town of Canale D’Agordo where 4 sons were born. Her husband immigrated to Canada in 1951 to find work, and Amalia with 4 boys joined him in Ocean Falls, BC in 1956. They were blessed with 5 more children and had many happy years in that thriving paper mill community.

Amalia was a woman of strong faith that saw her through some very difficult times, including the loss of her husband to cancer in 1970 at just 49 years old, and the loss of their son Bruno Robert in 1996. She was the true matriarch of the family- strong, loving and passionate. Moving her family to Campbell River in 1971, she learned to drive and went to work to support her youngest children. She bought a house and lived there independently for 43 years until 2014, when her health began to fail. Grateful thanks to Frank and Wendy who cared for her in their home until she needed extended care.

Amalia is survived by her sons Paolo (Joanna), Gino (Catherine), Federico (Bev), Renato (Chris), Franco (Wendy), Mario (Melodie), Daniele (Angela), and her only daughter Maria Matheson (Neil). Amalia leaves a legacy of many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who thrived on her love and Italian cooking. She was much loved by her large family and many friends and will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank Dr. Brian Carswell, her physician of many years, as well as the staff of Campbell River and District General Hospital, Dr. Matt Robertson and the staff of Oceanview Extended Care at St. Joseph’s Hospital, for their compassionate care of Amalia in her final few months. Thanks also to Mario for lovingly providing her with many home cooked meals.

Amalia’s funeral service will held in Campbell River at St Patrick’s Catholic Church on Friday, April 24, at 11:00 am.

Jean Roy McKenzieJune 26, 1915 – April 13, 2015

Jean McKenzie (nee Gowans) left us April 13, 2015, to join her husband, Les McKenzie (1967), son Ian (1984) and brother Jack Gowans (1990) in heaven. Her positive attitude and love of life were an inspiration to all who knew her. Jean was born in Moose Jaw, SK on June 26, 1915. She received her RN from Moose Jaw General Hospital in 1938 and moved to Swift

Current. She met Les, married in 1940 and gave birth to son Ian in 1943. She moved to Regina after Les’s death and then to Niagara Falls to be near Ian. After Ian’s death she moved back to Regina. In 2010 she embarked on her last great adventure by moving to the Comox Valley.

Jean is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, and friends Ross Moxley and Joan Skingle. We will miss her.

At Jean’s request there will be no funeral service.

Thank you to all the caregivers at the Comox Valley Seniors Village and St. Joseph’s hospital, and to Louie Adell.

The Young Ones will be taking on the Old Ones in a fun road hockey tourney on May 2 at The LINC as part of BC Youth Week. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Young vs. old at The Linc road hockeyBC Youth Week is

May 1-7, and the LINC Youth Centre is invit-ing the community to get in on the action at the “Young Ones vs. Old Ones” Road Hock-ey Tournament on Sat-urday, May 2 at The LINC.

Youth 11 to 18 can register as teams or individuals for this free event. Youth will play throughout the day to determine a win-ning team, who will then take on an adult team comprised of local youth workers, volun-teers, and Courtenay Council members. Games are scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., with the final game being held in the after-noon.

“The final game is always a fun one to watch,” explained Kris-tine Klupsas, Youth Services Coordinator at The LINC.

Youth Week is cele-brated during the first week of May and helps recognize youth as an important part of their communities.

The road hockey tournament is free, and also includes prizes for the winning youth team and a free bar-becue lunch for every-one who participates. To register in advance, visit courtenay.ca/linc or email [email protected]

Teams that register prior to April 25 will be entered to win a $25 gift card to Happy’s Source for Sports. Reg-istration will also take place the morning of the event at 9:30 a.m.

For more informa-tion on this or any other Youth Week events, call The LINC Youth Centre at 250-334-8138. – The LINC Youth Centre

On a Tuesday with frost delay, blue skies, rain sprinkles and Snowbirds flying over-head, our Crown Isle ladies’ club needed only three clubs and a putter to play golf on the magnificent Crown Isle golf course. Every-one with three or more putts fed the piggy.

According to our pro Rod Prieto, winter rules are still in effect. You can lift, clean and place and treat the bunkers as ground under repair until May 1.

The winners: 1st low gross Judy Pouillot 85, 2nd low gross Ev

Shaw 88, 1st low net Val Dingwall 73, 2nd low net Janet Phillips and Jean Wharton 74.

Birdies: Val Ding-wall, Sheila Van Gis-bergen, Judy Pouillot and Ev Shaw. KPs: Sheila Van Gisbergen and Ev Shaw. Par 5s: Judy Aldcroft (our illus-trious leader) and Jean Wharton (our compe-tent stats recorder).

With Crown Isle installing new soft-ware, Rod has asked all CI members to email him your name, address, phone number

and email address to [email protected]

A reminder that April 21 is the CI lun-cheon and general meeting after golf.

CI Sunday Couples starts May 3 with tee times starting at 12 noon. Sign up at the pro shop.

On May 31 the first Couples fun tourna-ment will include golf, dinner and priz-es. Many thanks to the Roulstons for organiz-ing these events.

Low gross was Greg Koster (71); low gross (11+) John Barnsdale (80) and low net overall was Ken Bool (67).

Second low gross (0-10) Mitch Carr-Hil-

ton (75); 2nd (11+) Rick Dawson (85), 2nd net (0-10) Thomas Drew (68). Third gross (0-10) Brian Phelan (76); 3rd gross (11+) Ham Stew-art (86).

John Huismann won a $20 gift certifi-cate from new sponsor 40 Knots Winery for a long putt on #14. Emil Zap won a shirt cour-tesy of new sponsor Carstar for a long putt on #9.

Come out on Wednesday at 5 p.m. for Men’s Night or next Sunday at 8 a.m. for an 8:30 start.
