NDP focusing on business

NDP Finance Critic Nathan Cullen says there is an openness from the business com-munity towards his party “unlike anything I’ve seen before” — both at a local and national level.

The Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP met Thurs-day with the Comox Valley Chamber of Com-merce to discuss how to boost the local economy.

“From bank presidents to local chambers of commerce, there’s a willingness to work with us, I think in part because we’re listening and we have something to say about business. We have moderated some of our policies to under-stand the business perspective, and I think it’s getting a lot of doors opened.”

That said, Cullen notes an “opportunity gap” across the country where the next generation has fewer choices and opportunities.

“Schooling has become very expensive and jobs have become very scarce. That’s a huge concern for us,” said Cullen, who was a small business person before entering politics.

He says small businesses create eight out of 10 new jobs in Canada but have received vir-tually no attention from the federal Conserva-tives. On the other hand, he notes some of the largest, most profitable businesses — namely banks and oil companies — have received something in the order of $650 billion in tax cuts in the last decade.

“Seems a misbalance of priorities,” Cullen said. “It’s called ergonomics. It didn’t work in the ‘80s and nothing changed since then. That’s why we’re likely in a recession right now.”

Cullen says a number of programs being offered by the NDP in the next election speak directly to the small business sector, small communities and to the value added question.

From visiting chambers around the Island, he says the burning question is similar to that

in the northern stretches of the province: How do we get more value added?

“Ninety-seven per cent of all raw log exports in Canada come out of British Columbia right now. We’ve lost over 600 mills since the turn of the century. We’ve lost tens of thousands of forestry jobs.”

The NDP has suggested a few things. One is senate reform, which the party says could save $100 million a year. Another is $15-per-day affordable child care.

“It’s as much economic as it is a social policy,” Cullen said. “It helps small businesses, it helps women get back to work who want to.

“We will lower the small business tax rate 25 per cent, which is the biggest tax cut for small businesses in a generation. As well as help for manufacturing and value added — so do more with our natural resources before we trade them in.”

Regarding coal mines, Cullen says what’s needed is “good public voice in any decision” and a science review of the impacts. The other main piece of any resource development is a sound understanding of rights and title, he added.

NEWS IN BRIEFEmcon to the rescue

A trio of Emcon employees rescued a family of birds last week while working on a culvert on the Old Island Highway near Union Bay.

Nearby resident Susan Gurney said a nest had fallen out of a tree and was sitting next to a creek.

One of the employees created a makeshift nest with a toque he was wearing. The work-ers then placed the baby birds inside their new home.

Gurney said mama bird has been flying back and forth feeding her babies in the toque.

“It’s unbelievable what they’ve done for this bird’s nest,” said Gurney, who thinks the birds are sparrows. “They were so concerned. They took pieces from another bush so they could lie in it.”

Canada Revenue scam ongoingThe Comox Valley RCMP is warning of a

scam that is occurring in the Comox Valley at this time.

This scam started occurring approximately two months ago and police have received hun-dreds of calls from concerned citizens worried that the police are coming to arrest them.

The callers identify themselves as agents for the Canada Revenue Agency and they advise the victim that they are in arrears and owe tax money. They go on to tell them that if they don’t pay up the police will be coming to arrest them. People can rest assured that this is not the process that the Canada Revenue Agency or police operate under. If the Canada Revenue Agency wants to contact you they will generally send a letter through secure mail.

If you do receive one of these calls let the caller know that you will check into this mat-ter with the Canada Revenue Agency. You can also contact the Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Trail closureThe trail at the new Copperfield Ridge

subdivision off Swanson Street and Steele Crescent (near the Cumberland and Arden Rd. intersection) will be closed for maintenance from Tuesday, July 28 to Thursday, July 30, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day.

The closure is required while crews install new drains under the trail for the next phase of the Copperfield subdivision. This crush-gravel trail connects Steele Crescent to the Comox Logging Road.

For more information, please contact the City of Courtenay Engineering at 250-334-4441 or email [email protected]

Filberg Park & RideThere will be a Park and Ride available

with air-conditioned vans during the Filberg Festival.

mum is $2 per person.

Bell-ringing ceremony to commemorate missing women

On Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m., a special bell-ringing ceremony will be held on the front grounds of St. George’s United Church at 505 sixth St. in Courtenay.

The church bell will ring to com-memorate the indigenous women and girls in Canada that have been reported missing or have been mur-dered in the last 30 years.

Over 10 days, the bell will ring 1,181 times – once for each woman. This Saturday the bell will be rung 119 times and will be accompanied by a group of First Nations singers and drummers in traditional regalia who will sing The Women’s Warrior Song – a widely used song that celebrates women.

The ringing is set to coincide with the beginning of Walking With Our Sisters, a memorial art exhibition to honour the lives of these women, and to acknowledge ongoing grief suffered by their families and the indigenous

community. It is hoped that this event will raise awareness about the memo-rial and the missing and murdered women, as well as the plight of indig-enous peoples in Canada.

“It is absolutely necessary to raise awareness about the event and the missing and murdered women,” said Rev. Ryan Slifka, minister at St. George’s, who will be one of the hosts at the event. “But is also an oppor-tunity for us to host an event that also sheds light on the issues that indigenous people continue to face in our country.”

The United Church of Canada, to which St. George’s belongs, was one of the Christian denominations charged with running residential schools on behalf of the Canadian government as part of its strategy of cultural assimilation.

“The scars run deep,” he said, not-ing that the missing and murdered women and residential schools are

part of a larger web of interconnected issues.

“In many ways, we confused spreading our culture and its values with the Christian faith and what it means to follow Jesus Christ. This is an opportunity for us to repent from our past complicity while working towards a common future of recon-ciliation.”

Kristy Bell, one of Walking With Our Sisters organizers and event hosts, says that “in unity with St. George’s we are not only raising awareness of the systemic traumas First Nations peoples have endured, but also we will set the foundation for healing within our own community by honoring our missing and mur-dered indigenous women.”

The Walking With Our Sisters memorial will be at the K’omoks Band Hall from July 31-Aug. 15 in what is thus far its only British Columbia appearance.

Editorial

It’s so easy to become inattentive in sum-mer.

Blazing sun and hot temperatures seem guaranteed to put the more vigilant parts of our brains on hold.

Whether we’re just befuddled trying to beat the heat – or eager to get out and be part of the many fun activities that warm weather offers, particularly in our seaside community – distraction is at an all-time high this time of year.

Unfortunately, as recent crime statistics show, there are those who are more than ready to take full advantage of any lapse of attention on our part.

Statistically, property crime usually takes an upturn in summer.

Is there any wonder at it?The natural impetus is to leave home win-

dows open to catch any breeze, and as we stroll in and out, we are likely to be less atten-tive to locking doors, or even closing them – an open invitation to an uninvited visitor who won’t hesitate in taking an inventory of our personal belongings, and making off with the most portable of them.

While loading vehicles, we’ll often leave costly cameras and sports equipment sitting outside, a crime of opportunity just waiting to happen.

And once we get in those vehicles – and get out again at our destination – are we really sure that we locked all of the doors and closed all of the windows? Did we lock valuables out of sight in the trunk – or did we leave them in plain view?

Insp. Peter Jadis, officer in charge of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team, notes that car thefts leapt 29 per cent across B.C. last year. He warns that it’s not just carelessly displayed items or the vehicles themselves that criminals are after – a garage door-opener and an address from insurance documents could be the key to a much high-er payoff for a criminal, but one that poses a greater potential risk to ourselves and our families.

Our vigilance must also extend to our fami-lies – children, caught up in the excitement of the moment, are not likely to pay close atten-tion to closing or locking doors after them.

In this day and age, any one of us could be responsible for a lapse that could mar our summer – and end up having to pay a hefty price in property loss and insurance hassles.

Don’t fall victim to seasonal carelessness

One of the rituals of life in south-ern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items.

Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system.

The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world.

Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poul-try industries from foreign imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people.

The industry group Dairy Farm-ers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by Europe-

an and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.

The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall elec-tion approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.

It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has posi-tioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the fed-eral Liberals are committed to keep-ing up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper gov-ernment ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehi-cles, and life goes on.

Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.

Ottawa regulates the export of pri-vate land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private

land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washing-ton state has climbed above $100.

The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.

Indeed, this whole protection appa-ratus is designed to stimulate domes-tic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills.

The coastal industry has main-tained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C.

With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what Univer-sity of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.”

B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a back-ward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class.

Chinatown feature brings back fond memories

Dear editor,Re: Remembering Cumberland’s

Chinatown, Comox Valley Record, July 16.

What a story! It was like I stuck a metal fork into a wall plug! It brought back so many flashbacks. I was born and raised in Cumberland and have so many fond memories of the Chi-nese community that thrived there.

My grandfather, Bobby Brown, (later an alderman) owned a company that supplied timber to the many coal mines that were operating in the late ‘30s and ‘40s. Most of his employees were Chinese, and he had a great relationship with them. I can still vaguely remember my grandfather taking me with him to Chinatown when Chinese New Year was being celebrated. I remember being offered those huge oranges which were unique to westerners in those days.

We were always welcome in their community and I remember just how friendly and generous they were to both my grandfather and the little boy that was with him.

My father, Jimmy Brown, became first a brakeman and then an engi-neer on the Canadian Colleries coal trains that ran from the mines to the loading dock at Union Bay. His certi-fication documents hang on my den wall to this day.

When he was an engineer, both his brakeman and fireman were Chinese, and often came to visit our home giv-ing my mother advice on her vegeta-ble garden.

I also remember at one time being

lifted into the cab of the locomotive by his fireman, nicknamed “Chicken”, (I have no idea why), to what I thought was to drive the train. Years later, my dad confessed that all I did was put on the brakes.

I had the privilege of knowing both Norman and Johnny Leung. My aunt and uncle, Johnny and Elsie Maro-cchi, ran a grocery store in direct competition with Leung’s Grocery in Cumberland. After their retirement their son Ray took over the business and I was the grocery delivery boy. Both of the Leung boys were friends of the Marocchi family and often, when an item was out of stock, they would help each other out to meet their customers needs. I always cher-ished the relationship these two fam-ilies had.

I’ve moved on with my life, as everyone has. I now live in rural Alberta, and I’m pushing 72. Even though life has taken me far from home, my roots are firmly set in Cum-berland.

The memories I have of the inter-action between my family and those of the Chinese community will always be a part of me, and I’m proud of it!

Fletcher’s punches nothing more than misdirected jabs

Dear editor,Re” Tom Fletcher’s Nestle protest

doesn’t hold water (Comox Valley Record, July 21 2015).

Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth

petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.

As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about – primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented.

The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong reg-ulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century.

Perhaps Mr. Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 cate-gories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge.

A Special Thank You... to our 2015 sponsors & volunteers, Robert & staff at the Comox Harbour

Authority who, once again, have shown overwhelming support.

Over the years, the Filberg Festival in Comox has established a reputation for excellence in arts, crafts and music. It has become one of western Canada’s larg-est juried outdoor art shows, combined with a music festival featuring some of the country’s finest.

It is also a fundraiser to maintain the picturesque Filberg estate – once a private home belonging to RJ (Bob) Filberg and his wife Florence, who built the lodge in 1929. Bob, who served as president of the Comox Logging and Railway Company, incorporated his love of trees and woods into the architecture and landscaping of the property that overlooks the Comox Harbour and the Beaufort Mountain Range.

This year marks the 33rd instalment of the festival,

which is normally held over three days on the BC Day weekend. This time, the festival team has added a Fri-day evening concert featuring Canadian Music Indus-try Hall of Famers Cowboy Junkies.

“We’re trying to always find new ways to bring in more funds to the park, so we decided to try a Friday night concert,” said Wendy Sears, who is in her fifth year of co-producing the festival with Susan Lewis. “Tick-et sales are doing really well.”

The annual gathering will also feature about 130 vendors, some of whom are returnees.

“This year we had a number of new judges on the jury, so we have a higher percentage of new artists this year, about 30 per cent,” Sears said.

Vendor booths scattered throughout the grounds will feature an assortment of ceramics, clothing, leather,

jewelry, visual arts, glass and wood work, and home and garden decor.

Denman Island potter Gordon Hutchens, who has a long history with the Filberg, is this year’s featured artist. Known for the depth and diversity of his glazes,

Hutchens uses clay from his property, seaweed and wood ash to create his art.

On the musical side, John Mann of Spirit of the West and Canadi-an pop/folk icon Valdy — the ‘man with 1,000 friends’ — return this year, as well as Vancou-

ver Island’s favourite tenor Ken Lavigne. “We brought them back because they were definitely

festival favourites,” Sears said. “We took over the music last year. We tried to program it a little differently. We wanted to mix it up and have a wide variety of music, different genres rather than just folk.

“We’ve done surveys…We have found that 50 per cent of the peo-ple come for the art side of it and 50 per cent pretty much come for the music side of it. Although it’s an arts festival, the music is an integral part.”

The lineup also features the brother-sister duet of Matthew and Jill Barber, who will pres-ent their new project dubbed The Family Album.

The music kicks off Friday morn-ing at the Garden Stage where nine-year-old Comox resident Stel-la Swanson and her family band perform. Stella’s debut CD, I’m Not a Bunny, was a finalist in the John Len-non Songwrit-ing Contest.

It’s also a nominee for C h i l d r e n ’ s Recording of the Year at the upcoming West-ern Canadian Music Awards.

Upwards of 300 volunteers help make the fes-tival happen.

“We need about that to cover the four days,” Sears said.

Performances will happen at one of two stages: the Comox Rota-ry up top or the Garden down below. Marnie Marin will emcee the Comox Rotary Stage.

As always, there will be an assortment of food vendors.

Dana Wilson and her team will lead an enchanted forest for chil-dren with storytelling, face paint-ing and games.

Event organizers encourage peo-ple to use a park and ride service

provided by Ambassador Shuttle, operating at 1475 Noel Ave. Van-couver Island Compassion Dogs will man the service, which is by donation.

There is also a by-donation bicy-cle lockup onsite, compliments of the Comox Valley Cycling Coali-tion.

Gate admission is charged because the festival is the prima-ry fundraiser for the non-profit Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park Association. Money helps pay for repairs and maintenance of the property and buildings.

Advance day ticket sales are $13, but won’t be sold past Thursday, July 30. They are available at www.f i lberg-festival .com, Thrifty Foods, the I-Hos Gal-lery, the Van-couver Island Visitor Centre and the Filberg Heritage Lodge

Gift Shop. The festival runs from July 31

to Aug. 3. Daily admission is $15 at the gate. Children 12 and under get in free. A four-day festival pass is $45.

Tickets for the Cowboy Junkies are $39 for the Friday night con-cert only, $50 for the concert and a one-day festival pass, or $79 for the concert and a four-day pass.

Festival hours are 10 a.m. — 6 p.m. Friday to Sunday, and 10 a.m. — 5 p.m. Monday. Gates open at 7 p.m. for the Friday night concert.

Patrons are asked not to bring dogs.

Forbidden Brewing Co, the third micro brewery in the Comox Valley, has opened its doors. Forbidden Brewing is the small-est of the three brew-ery's in the area.

It all began when CEO Michael Vincent found a U-Brew that was going out of busi-ness in Victoria. Vin-cent dismantled and packed the contents of the U-Brew into a five-tonne truck and drove to his home in Courtenay. The equip-ment was transferred into a SeaCan con-tainer on his prop-erty and there it sat while he considered his options. Long-time friend Aaron Bible was interested in the project. Vincent and Bible worked together opening the Saltwa-ter Waldorf School in Tintown, where both their children attend school.

They formed a part-nership and began looking for a loca-tion for the brewery. Vincent had a strong relationship with the general manager of the Westerly Hotel, Anna Martin, so he approached her about a vacant space in the hotel.

After striking up a lease, Vincent began the long road of build-ing the lounge area and installing the brewing equipment.

"It has been a real challenge to do this within our budget.

This has been my full-time job for the past year but without the paycheque," joked Vincent.

Along the way, Vin-cent and Bible saw a need for additional skills in their busi-ness. Nicholas Wil-liams, an avid home brewer, joined the business, along with Vincent's wife, Nata-sha Richardson. Wil-liams began working on recipes and test-ing brews in his base-ment and Richardson, who holds a masters in tourism and runs a five-star resort hotel in Victoria, began working on the finan-

cials and marketing plans for the brew-ery. Finally, Sarah Neufeld, a member of the Grammy Award winning band, Arcade Fire, who grew up in the Comox Valley, also joined the team.

Forbidden Brewing is the known under-dog in the Comox Valley brewing scene, brewing on a nano-sized system.

"We are really proud of the quality of the beer we are pro-ducing," says Bible. "Nicholas has real-ly stepped up to the challenge and created a great Pale Ale."

For now, the brew-

ery is serving by the glass beer in their lounge due to their limited production capacity.

They have also added a small food menu.

Growler sales will be added in the near future after they build their inventory and get a better idea of their sales volumes.

It is open Fridays from 4-10 p.m., Sat-urdays from noon to 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.

Keep up-to-date on information about the brewery at www.face-book.com/forbidden-brewing.

“One call, and

we’ll do it all”

They’re getting the word out early, in hopes of hosting a fall con-cert to honour the sacrifices made and hope for peace in the future.

Every few years since 2006, Island Voices Chamber Choir pro-duces a Remembrance Day con-cert, combining poetry and music, explained Jo-Anne Preston, pro-ducer for the choir.

“It’s usually music and a read-ing. It’s always been a really hard program to create because we want to balance the dark with the hope, and we realize Remembrance Day means something different for all people.”

Preston said this year, she hopes to gather material from those who have personally experienced the sacrifices of the military - from those serving, to spouses, family,

friends or from a child who has a parent serving in the military.

“Depending upon the response, we might make it into a display, a website or a Powerpoint presen-tation,” she said, and added she wants to put an emphasis on mak-ing the concert local and personal.

“We’ve got huge historical breadth (in the Comox Valley) and we’re looking for any sort of text - letters, journals, poems. We could also incorporate pictures; we’re very open.”

The text could be from past wars to peace-keeping missions, from personnel serving abroad or from loved ones left a home, she added.

While there will be between six to eight readings at each perfor-mance in both Campbell River and the Comox Valley, Preston explained they will do what they can to recognize all contributors through displays on their website.

For more information, phone Preston at 250-202-4300 or email [email protected].

Ever wonder what goes into a film audi-tion? Or how to make a script go from page to screen?

Want an inside look on how scenes are filmed and charac-ters are created? Or maybe you just want to see what it’s like in front of the cam-era? Rainbow Youth Theatre’s “Intro to Film and TV Careers” workshop with Ally-

son Leet, a Universi-ty of Victoria Theatre Program and Vancou-ver Film School grad-uate, will answer all these questions plus much more. Come and join in on the fun for a little sneak peek at how all the actors prepare for their big screen moments!

In this workshop we will be covering camera technique for actors, terminology,

character building and of course some film/TV/commercial audition material. Participants will get the chance to film improvisations, short scenes and commer-cials to be reviewed and talked about within the workshop. Over the two days the actors will know and understand the basics of a film audition, lingo of the business

and what it’s like to film a scene with a partner!

Get ready for Lights! Camera! Action! on Wednesday Aug. 5 and Thursday Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Mark Isfeld School. The cost is $50. To register please email [email protected]

Levins fifth in Pan-Am 5,000m race

A fifth place finish in the 5,000 metres was not the result Cam Levins was looking for when he headed to Toronto to the 2015 Pan American Games.

On Saturday, the two-time Olympian from Black Creek got off to a good start and was second for most of the final three laps before falling back into the middle of the pack.

“I didn’t go very well,” Levins told a reporter. “I have to go back to the draw-

ing board. I didn’t feel that sharp.”

Defending champion Juan Luis Barrios of Mexico won the event in 13:46.47 while Levins clocked in at 13:48.03. The Games wrapped up Sunday.

Levins won’t have much time to go back to the draw-ing board before returning to the track. He is on the Canadian track and field team that is off to the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China from Aug. 22-30.

“The World Champion-ships are the last major measuring stick as we pre-pare for the 2016 Olympic Games,” said Peter Eriks-son, Head Coach and Chief Technical Officer. “Our team objectives are clear; improve

on our country ranking and the number of medals, top eight, top 12 and top 16 fin-ishes. Individually we are looking for athletes to place higher than their ranking entering the event.”

Competition takes place in the Birds Nest, site of the 2008 Olympic Games.

On his Facebook page, it notes Levins will enter both the 5,000 and 10,000 at the Worlds, with the 10,000 metres on opening day Aug. 22 and the 5,000 metre heats on Aug. 26, with the final Aug. 29.

FINISH LINES Levins is the current Canadian 10,000 record holder ... he won a bronze medal in the 10,000 metres at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games ...

Cam Levins finished fifth at Pan-Am Games 5,000 metre race.

Cards hosting Bantam A B.C. championships Bantam baseball at

its best is coming to the Comox Valley on the August long week-end.

From July 31 to Aug. 3, the Comox Valley Baseball Asso-ciation is hosting the 10-team 2015 Ban-tam A Provincials at Bill Moore Memorial Park in Courtenay.

The host Comox Valley Cardinals will welcome nine teams from throughout B.C. and organizers are inviting the Comox Valley to come out and show their sup-port of these U15 aged athletes.

“It promises to be an exciting weekend of great baseball and friendly rivalry,” said Hina Smit, Provincial Championship Coor-dinator.

“We invite our com-munity to attend all our games as well as our opening ceremo-nies on Friday, July 31 at 6 p.m.”

Following the open-ing ceremonies, there will be a skills com-petition, with four events for the players to participate in.

Games will start at 9, 12 and 3 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. An additional evening game will be held Sat-urday at 6 p.m. Semi-finals and finals will be held Monday, Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The list of out-of-town teams was not

available at press time. Watch Thurs-day’s Record sports for a schedule of games.

“We welcome every-one to please come out and cheer on our play-ers. For anyone who is interested in help-

ing out our Provin-cial committee, they are looking for volun-teers to scorekeep and to help prepare the fields for the games,” Smit said.

Anyone wishing to volunteer can contact Smit at 250-334-7570

or email her at [email protected].

Smit added the CVBA thanks all their sponsors and volunteers for their years of support and service.

CVBA president Shannon Gaboury notes the City of Courtenay has been busy sprucing up Bill Moore park for the event and plans are in for place for the CVBA to host a first-class tournament.

Plaque MovedGaboury also notes

the City has relocat-ed the Tyler Phillips memorial plaque to one of the big pine trees in Bill Moore park, rather than

replace the young trees that have been vandalized several times over the past years.

We are sad to announce the passing of Patricia “Patti” Patterson on July 20, 2015 in Courtenay, B.C.

She is survived by her daughters Cheryl Czorny (Randy) and Donalyn Robertson; grandchildren, Alek Marcoux (22), Taylore Czorny (15) and Jessa Czorny (14); sister Ruth Perron and extended family. In Patti’s leisure time she belonged to the Evergreen Seniors Centre Table Tennis Group, and enjoyed walking. She had an incredible sense of humour, loved cards, recreation and loved all creatures. She was everyone’s caregiver, and was always behind the scenes making sure folks were taken care of. Please make a donation in her memory to the BCSPCA – Comox Valley & District, 1668 Ryan Rd., Comox, BC V9M 7Z8.

ln Memory of MokahIt is with heavy hearts and an empty feeling as we share that we said so long to our beloved Mokah on July 13th.He took his last breath in the arms of his “Moms” and we all are comforted knowing that he was not alone as he exited our earth.His last days were spent on the farm, going for small walks, going crazy when all our friends would visit and most recently he enjoyed the attention of our newest human addition… Lil EJ, whom will miss his presence in our home.Mokah spend shy of 12 years blessing our family with never ending, steadfast and unconditional love. Our daughter’s faces the fi rst day they met Mokah will never be forgotten… Pure Pure JOY when their father and I presented him to them. A special thanks to his caregiver, Dr. Chris Cannon for encouraging us to enjoy the time we had left with him (we intentionally did just so). Grateful thanks to Shanelle who exuded insurmountable perception and precious gentleness in her role as events unfolded. Thanks to our Crazy Dog Lady friend Jen and to Nicki for joining us for those last precious memories and to our beloved friends for preparing the plot in such a rightful, beautiful resting place and all of you who knew and loved Mokah the same way we did. AKA Mochacchino, Mokie and “Moms Pup…we will forever cherish who you are to us. Until we meet again…rest easy, roam free and say hi to all the Furry Friends who left before you.Love alwaysYour Girls.

Al defoe scores aceThirty couples competed in the

Comox Golf Club’s annual Mr. and Mrs. Golf Tournament on July 18 in amazing weather.

To top it off, Al Dafoe scored a hole in one on #18. Along with his wife, our current club champion and current zone champion Jan, they scored net 67.6 in the Odds and Ends.

(There are two divisions: the Husband and Wife for members and the Odds and Ends. It is a net competition).

The winners for a second time were Pat and Nancy Riva with a gross score of 75, net 63. Some extremely interesting shots were performed, as can happen in an alternate shot (modified scotch ball) competition.

Rick Curiston and Mary Buchanan grabbed second with 65.2. Ian and Sue Leakey 69.6, Gord and Patti Harris 70, Stu and Lorelei Banford 71 and Wayne and Linda Callender finished with 74.8.

The most honest couple went to Suds and Bernice Sutherland at the ages of 90.

The Odds and Ends results had Jim and Sharon Prince with 63.4 in first place. Art Karpus and Nancy Newton 66, Jim Erem-ko and Doris Ellis 66.2, Marty Petersen and Sandi Tufnail 67.2, Al and Jan Dafoe 67.6 and Russ Rodriguez and Carmen DeWinter with 68.8. The most honest couple were Gord Aikman and Colleen Howarth.

Closest to the holes were: Wayne Callender #5, #18 of course of Al Dafoe with his hole in one, Sandi Tufnail #9 and Gi Carlson on #14. Westview Ford sponsored the longest putt made by the team of Marty Petersen and Sandi Tufnail and for the closest to the bucket, which was won by Gerry Dempsey.

Thanks to Phyllis Taylor and Lorelei Banford for organizing the event; apparently the couple who wins must run it next year. Thanks to Jesse from the Pro Shop for his help and to the Tee Box for the dinner. Accolades to John and his staff for the great course conditions that we have been able to play on every day.

Golfershave gotthe edge

The expression “Living on the edge” took on new meaning for a pair of local golf-ers recently.

“How’s this for a long shot?” asks Glenn Parker of Comox in an email to the Record sports department.

“My golf partners, Don Sukla, Jack Hen-sky, and I were play-ing nine holes at the Comox Golf Club last week.

On the third hole, Jack’s putt sat on the edge of the hole for a few seconds and then fell in, reminiscent of Tiger Woods’ memo-rable putt at the Mas-ters several years ago.

“On the fourth hole, my ball came out of the bunker and land-ed about eight feet from the hole. I putt-ed and my ball hung on the edge for about three seconds before it fell.

“Two edgers in two holes! Now that’s something you don’t see every day. Maybe even a little rarer than a hole in one, wouldn’t you say? Ah, the wonders of golf,” Parker mused.

If you’ve got a great golf story to share, email it to [email protected] or [email protected].
