On Thursday morning, Mayor Larry Jangula took to social media to make a statement regarding the Maple Pool lawsuit settlement.

The following “Statement on Maple Pool” was posted to his Facebook page:

“The uncertainty around Maple Pool is now over. This was a priority for me as mayor and is one of the major reasons I ran for re-election last November. I am delighted that all concerned parties worked collabo-ratively over the past few months to resolve the outstanding issues.

“I want to thank City staff and councillors, Friends of Maple (sic), the Lin Family, and Dawn to Dawn: Action on Homelessness Society. Most importantly, I want to thank the res-idents at Maple Pool who worked so respectively and patiently with all the parties to bring forward this positive resolution. The residents have demon-strated the power of getting involved to make a positive difference in our community. My hope is that this resolution marks a new and positive beginning for all of the residents at Maple Pool.

“This process has reminded me that

when we work together in a spirit of respect and collaboration we can resolve issues in a manner we can all be proud of.”

– Mayor Larry Jangula.

Maple Pool Campground owners, Jin and Dali Lin, had been embroiled in a five-year legal battle with the City of Courtenay over zoning regulations to do with their campground, which has been used as an affordable hous-ing option for homeless and at-risk of homelessness Comox Valley residents. The lawsuit was the most prominent issue of the 2014 municipal election.

Lake Trail Middle School students are rallying around Grade 9 student Kenton Doust, who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Lake Trail Middle School students are rallying around one of their own.

Kenton Doust, a highly competitive soccer player and Grade 9 student, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in September, and Lake Trail principal Kevin Reimer said there is “a fantastic outpouring of emotions” from students at the school.

“For me as a principal, our kids are amazing. They are hugging him and wishing him well. He is a well-loved kid.”

Reimer explained in the spring, he and family and friends noticed Doust “wasn’t himself.”

He received a CT scan and was given the diagnosis. Within a day, he was in BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to have brain surgery, added Reimer.

According to the Go Fund Me page, doctors advised Doust he had fluid and tumours on his brain. An MRI revealed three brain tumours on or near his pituitary gland.

On Oct. 14, Doust had surgery to remove the fluid build-up and to biopsy the tumours.

Cumberland council has opted out of the multi-million dollar South Sewer Project, but the regional district nevertheless plans to forge ahead with its proposed community wastewa-ter system for Royston and Union Bay. The aim is to address the impact of failing septic systems.

The project team is assessing the implica-tions of Cumberland’s decision.

“Cost is a key focus and we’ve heard clearly from Area A residents that this will be critical to their continued support,” said Kris La Rose, manager of liquid waste planning. “(But) We remain committed to the project and moving forward with our First Nations partners to find a solution for the residents. We will continue to build on the extensive work and engagement already undertaken to move this project for-ward in a timely manner that can meet grant timelines.”

At its Nov. 9 meeting, council directed staff to restart the Liquid Waste Management Plan-ning (LWMP) process and to re-examine sew-age treatment options. The Village’s sewage treatment has issues with elevated levels of phosphorous and excessive wet weather flows, and is out of compliance with regulatory stan-dards.

Council has said it does not support the treated effluent disposal location at Georgia Strait off Cape Lazo, which would yield a project cost of about $56 million. Cumberland would prefer discharging to Baynes Sound at an estimated cost of $49.5 million.

Federal grants will cover $17 million of the cost. Funds need to be spent by September, 2018. La Rose said staff will develop a revised project scope that reflects the reduced inflow resulting from Cumberland’s decision.

“This revised scope will consider changes to cost estimates while keeping as close as possible to the plans created to date — which are the basis of the UBCM Strategic Priorities grant and the selection of a preferred outfall location by the south region LWMP.”

NEWS IN BRIEF

2016 Dog Licences AvailableIf you’re a dog owner in the City of Courte-

nay, 2016 dog licences are now available from Courtenay City Hall.

All dogs over the age of six months living in the City must be licensed.

The fee for a neutered male or spayed female is $5 annually. For unneutered males or unspayed females, the fee is $25 annually. Licences expire each year on December 31 and must be renewed annually.

To get your license, bring your payment to Courtenay City Hall, 830 Cliffe Avenue, and provide your name, address and phone num-ber, as well as your dog’s name, breed, colour, and gender. For first-time licencing, please bring proof of spay/neuter status from your veterinarian.

Revenue from the dog licence program helps fund the City’s contract with the SPCA; and by having a dog licence, it will be easier to reunite you with your fuzzy friend if he or she goes missing. You’ll also avoid an “unlicenced dog” ticket, which starts at $100 for a first offence.

Sunday traffic expected to be heavyThe City of Courtenay is advising motorists

to consider alternative modes of transport if heading downtown on Sunday, due to three high-traffic events happening on the day.

The Christmas Parade, The Fiesta World Craft Bazaar at the Florence Filberg Centre, and the Red Rock Diner at the Sid Williams Theatre, will all be happening at the same time, so if you are planning on using your car to get to these events, please allow plenty of time to find parking. Better yet, walk, ride your bike, carpool, or take the bus!

The Sid Williams Theatre is offering a free shuttle to patrons attending the Red Rock Diner musical. The shuttle will be running between the old Safeway parking lot (17th & Cliffe) and the Sid Williams Theatre from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If space is available, the shuttle will be open the general public as well.

There will also be some road closures to consider. Fifth Street will be closed for the Christmas Parade from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from Cliffe Avenue to Johnston Avenue. Cliffe Avenue between Fourth and Fifth Streets will also be closed from 2 to 3 p.m. for the parade. There will be no parking on these streets during the closures.

Comox senior out thousands of dollars

An elderly Comox woman with dementia is out thousands of dollars after signing a cheque she assumed was worth hundreds.

On Oct. 14, the 78-year-old woman, who lives on her own, signed a con-tract for some roofing work by a company called Rock Hard Contract-ing. The person with whom she was dealing went by the name Andrew Crosbie. Neither the company, nor Crosbie, could be found in an online search.

Campbell River resident Wendy Kelson says her mother — whom she describes as a spendthrift — handed her cheque book over to the stranger, who filled in the information.

She assumes he filled in the

amount as he showed her mother where to sign. When Kelson visited the next day, her mother said she had written a cheque for $400 for the work. However, the amount on the contract was $4,800.

Kelson went to the bank to retrieve a copy of the cheque, which was writ-ten in the same handwriting as the contract.

“That contract form? I could have typed that up in five minutes. It’s nothing professional. And he only signed it with his first name.”

The work stated on the contract includes:

• Clean gutters• Apply clear coating waterproof• Instal metal gutter guard screen

system• Clean roof• Nail down loose shingles• Apply hot rubber to all vents,

skylight, and any problems on roof•Apply moss removal coating to

entire roof

The contractor’s signature line reads “Andrew & Don,” printed.

The contract states that the quoted amount ($4,800) is due upon comple-tion of the job and it also states that the work has not been completed.

The contract offers a Kelowna phone number, which goes straight to voicemail.

Calls made to the number by Record staff went unanswered.

Kelson said a few workers spent a couple hours on the roof installing grating in the gutters and pouring hot tar on moss around vents, as ver-ified by a neighbour.

“We’ve taken precautions since then,” Kelson said. “She doesn’t have her cheque book any more.”

Kelson has contact police, who say the contract is legal because her mother signed it. A teller said the bank would likely have caught Cros-bie’s face on camera, but police told her the bank manager won’t allow them to see it.

Sharing the beauty of the BC coast, and her experience of it, through her art.

With nearly 1.5 years of work behind them, workers at the Comox Valley Hospi-tal are one step closer to finishing the exteri-or and moving inside.

Tom Sparrow, the chief project officer of the North Island Hospitals Project, told CTV News Vancouver Island workers have been able to button up a lot of the exterior of the site, and soon will shift to the inside.

Work is also being completed on the new hospital in Campbell River at nearly the same progression, and Sparrow added while the North Island Hospitals Project is

unique, there is some standardization.

“These are pub-lic private partner-ship projects. They’re extremely efficient projects and so every-thing has to be inte-grated and aligned exceptionally well to ensure it’s a smooth and seamless process … there’s some very good co-ordination

going on between the Campbell River site and the Comox Valley as well.”

Bret Miche, senior project manager from Graham Construc-tion, added they are in the 85 to 90 per cent range of using all-local employees.

There are more than 550 trades, apprentices and

labourers working on site.

“(It’s) great news for the local economy.”

Once inside, Miche said the project will move towards interi-or-finish type trades, such as finish car-penters, painters, floor layers, ceil-ing tile installers, but explained there still will be a heavy emphasis on mechan-ical and electrical installation.

The 153-bed, $331.7 million hospital is on target to open in Octo-ber 2017, while the 95-bed, $274.5 million Campbell River Hos-pital is set to open one month earlier.

FRIDAY

City of Courtenay Public Works will be flush-ing water mains starting Tuesday, Nov. 17 and continuing for two weeks. Water main flushing will occur between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. week-days, in a number of areas in East and West Courtenay.

Trevor Kushner, the City of Courtenay’s manager of public works, said flushing is an important part of regular maintenance on the City’s water service, noting, “Flushing helps remove sediment, and ensures our water qual-ity remains high.”

Flushing will begin in West Courtenay, at the following locations:

• Arden Road from Lake Trail Road to 1st Street including 2200 – 2380 Embleton Cres-cent

• Lake Trail Road from Willemar Avenue to 2107 Lake Trail Road and 10th Street from Willemar Avenue to Piercy Avenue

• 5th Street from Menzies Avenue to Cliffe Avenue

• Cumberland Road from McPhee Avenue to Fitzgerald Avenue and 8th Street from Fitzger-ald Avenue to Cliffe Avenue, McPhee Avenue from Cumberland Road to 847 McPhee Avenue

• 11th Street from McPhee Avenue to Cliffe Avenue

• Tull Avenue from 2377 Tull Avenue to 17th Street

• 26th Street from Piercy Avenue to Cliffe Avenue and Kilpatrick Avenue from 26th Street to 28th Street and Cliffe Avenue from 2760 – 2420 Cliffe Avenue

• 355 Anfield Road and Cliffe Avenue from Anfield Road to 17th Street

Once flushing in West Courtenay is com-plete, crews will begin working on the following water mains in East Courtenay.

• Ryan Road from Old Island Highway to Back Road and Back Road from Ryan Road to Valley View Drive

• Dingwall Road from Northland Place to Island Highway North (Hwy 1-A) and Back Road from Island Highway North to Ryan Road and Centennial Drive from Back Road to McLauchlin Drive

• Mission Road from Lerwick Road to Muir Road and Muir Road from 4605 – 2625 Muir

Road, Walbran Place, Anna Place, Shetland Place

• Ryan Road from Crown Isle Boulevard/Crown Isle Drive to NIC, Lerwick Road from Waters Place to Malahat Drive, Crown Isle Drive from Ryan Road to Malahat Drive.

Motorists are asked to slow down and use caution when approaching flushing crews. Commuters may experience traffic delays in the work zones, with single lane traffic and intermittent road closures between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on the days of flushing.

While flushing will occur over a large area during this time period, water to individual properties should only be affected for a short period of time, typically between 30 to 60 minutes. Residents may notice a slight drop in water pressure accompanied by some turbidity (discoloured water).

Residents are advised to check their water before doing laundry or dishwashing; or sched-ule these tasks between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. on weekdays or at anytime on the weekends, since work will not be performed on the water mains during these time periods. Properties with filtration systems should be aware of the potential for turbid water.

If you notice discoloured water after the hours of operation, run your cold water taps for a period of 20 minutes to clear up any sedi-ment. If the water does not clear in 60 minutes or you require more information regarding this project, call the City of Courtenay Public Works Department at 250-338-1525, Monday to Fri-day, 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. or the emergency after hours number at 250-334-2947.

The Comox Valley and Campbell River waste management centres will no longer accept materials containing asbestos. The cost of disposal of drywall (gypsum) will increase to $225/tonne effective January 1, 2016 to cover recycling and transportation costs.

Drywall will now be classified 'recyclable’. Should loads of drywall arrive at the landfills mixed together, or mixed with regular municipal solid waste (MSW) or with construction and demolition waste, haulers will be charged the "MSW-mixed with recyclables" rate which is scheduled to increase on January 1, 2016 to $275/tonne.

Special note: The Campbell River and Comox Valley waste management centres will require the "Waste Disposal" application form to be completed and approved prior to the disposal of drywall to the landfill.

As pre-1990 drywall filling compound (mud) may contain asbestos, haulers will be required to provide analytical data or proof with their application to show that drywall is free from asbestos.

The public is invited to listen to a Cumberland author who is emerging on the nation-al scene. Traci Skuce will be the featured speaker at this month’s meeting of the Comox Valley Writers Soci-ety.

She was chosen as one of only five finalists for the 2015 CBC Creative Nonfic-tion Prize. With 1,700 submissions coming from across Canada, that was no small feat.

Even before she wrote her own submission, she was deter-

mined, at the very least, to be on the long list.

“I knew if I was going to do that, I’d have to pay attention to voice,” she said. “I’d have to write and write and write to get the voice of my piece to rise up above all those hundreds of voices I knew were also vying for the prize.”

So what is the secret to harness-ing one’s voice?

Come and find out at Valley View Elementary School on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. This is a free event.

Homelessness referendum advance voting this week

Continued from Page 1Soon after surgery, Reimer

noted Doust felt better and “was back to his old self,” although the surgery did not remove all of the tumours and Doust is now under-going chemotherapy to continue his treatment.

“There’s still a long road to go, but he’s coming to school, much to my astonishment,” said Reimer. “It’s very difficult for our staff; he’s

such a special part of our school community.”

Led by the school’s leadership students, Reimer said the school has come together and students are raising funds through a week-ly bake sale to support Doust and his family.

There is also a Go Fund Me page to support the Doust family with a goal of $20,000 at: gofund-me.com/9h754pck

Editorial

There are approximately 25,000 Syrian refugees expected to arrive in Canada between now and January.

They will need a great deal of help, and we expect that between the government, church-es, and charitable citizens, that help will be available. By and large, Canadians are willing to lend a hand, especially in extraordinary circumstances. B.C. could see a relatively high proportion of the new refugees – Toronto and Vancouver and their suburbs are the most favoured destinations for newcomers to Can-ada.

The goal of rescuing people from overcrowd-ed refugee camps and war zones is laudable. But when there is a crisis, it is easy to mobi-lize public opinion and the machinery of gov-ernment to deal with major problems.

Other problems last for years, and become invisible.

If we can house 25,000 refugees in less than two months, why can’t we find proper housing for Canada’s homeless as well?

On the Lower Mainland alone, there are more than 2,700 people without any kind of housing. That likely misses more people who are sleeping on couches or in their cars.

Homelessness is a kind of permanent crisis. We see it every day, we walk around the peo-ple we see on the streets, tossing a few coins or avoiding eye contact. And every few years, the province or cities will make a new drive to try to end homelessness once and for all, but any improvements tend to be temporary.

Homelessness is not an easy problem to solve, and even with a lot of money thrown at it, it can’t be dealt with in a matter of months. But we don’t believe it’s insurmountable. The vast majority of people on the streets can be housed, and they can be helped to better lives.

This is not an argument to deal with home-lessness before taking in refugees. Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest nations. We should be able to help refugees become new Canadians, and help our homeless citizens. Both need compassion and practical help.

-Black Press

Housing is for everyone

We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weath-er, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minis-ter Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in end-ing his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government.

“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an econ-

omy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.”

It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admit-ting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.

Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick ani-mated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to elim-inate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China

and India untouched. And while Can-ada endures false allegations of sub-sidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezu-ela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.

China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now trans-lates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline.

Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big win-ner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre.

The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in green-house gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak sig-nal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

Ladysmith Legion mistreating their vets

Dear editor,I remember VE day in

Montreal in Dominion Square in 1945.

I lost relatives in Canada’s Wars, both killed and wound-ed.

I joined the Canadian Forc-es in 1959.

I have served in operation-al war theatres.

I live on a military pension.I am disgusted with what

the Legion in Ladysmith did to the Veteran Bikers.

(Members of the Veterans Motorcycle Club, comprising vets who enjoy riding, were told they could not participate in this year’s Remembrance Day activities wearing club paraphernalia. The VMC does toy rides and community fundraising events, includ-ing fundraising for Legion Branch 171 Ladysmith. See bit.ly/1MZk3Kk for full story.)

Thank God the bikers were allowed to parade in Ottawa at the Canadian Memorial.

Having supported Legions for almost 40 years… remind me not to support them on Vancouver Island any more.

J. E. Knowles, CDCourtenay

Remembrance Day: changes to consider

Dear editor,As a newcomer to the

Comox Valley I attended my first Remembrance Day cer-emony here this morning. I was impressed by the large number of people who took time to pay their respects to our veterans. I particularly admire and thank young parents who brought toddlers and young children to the service to begin a tradition in their families and to initiate a dialogue with their children about what it means to be Canadian. There are, how-ever, parts of the ceremony which I felt were out of place and which could be replaced with something more mean-ingful.

In my opinion the laying of wreaths should be done by representatives of the levels of government and the Silver

Cross Mother who represents all families who have lost a soldier in military service. For businesses to lay wreaths diminishes the significance of this ceremonial gesture. This practice is not limited to the Comox Valley, but has crept into most ceremonies that I have attended in the last few years. Having businesses lay wreaths, even contributed with the most sincere inten-tions, comes across as thinly veiled advertising. Putting these businesses in the same lineup with the representa-tive of mothers who lost their sons is inappropriate.

I also felt that the refer-ences in the service to three particular Canadians, cast the ceremony in a distorted light. It was, and still is, the courage of thousands of ordi-nary men and women, the sacrifice of those unnamed in the history books and the best sellers, that won the freedom and secured the peace.

My own two sons have served in Afghanistan, the Balkans and Central America in their military careers and have, thankfully, returned home alive. You can be sure that on this day, they are reflecting on the loss of friends and members of their own regiments who died while serving with them in these postings. Billy Bishop, John McCrae and Romeo Dallaire have all received their due on other days and in other ways. This is surely a day to remember and cele-brate the otherwise unnamed men and women who gave their lives for our country.

Climate change nothing but a scam

Dear editor,As Canada’s new Liberal

Prime Minister Trudeau pre-pares to take himself and a bunch of his fellow worship-ers of the global warming religion on a taxpayer funded junket to Paris, at a cost that will make Bev Oda’s $16 glass of orange juice seem like the bargain of the cen-tury, and a carbon footprint that would make even Al

Gore and David Suzuki blush, comes this little tidbit: NASA reports the amount of ice in the Antarctic INCREASED by an average of 100 billion tons per year every year between 1992 and 2008, the last year of the study period.(go.nasa.gov/1RFtufm). Antarctic ice extent has been at record highs three of the last four years.

For at least the last 20 years we have been told that the supposed loss of Arctic ice is proof of global warming, er, climate change and we must pay huge carbon taxes to stop it. So, does the increase in Antarctic ice mean we now have global cooling? Umm no. Why? Because 97 per cent of climate scientists receiving billions of taxpayer dollars annually to do studies about global warming, er, climate change that show the need for more taxpayer funded billions of dollars for more studies on global warming, er, climate change say so.

The climate is always changing and thank goodness for that. Otherwise Canada might still be buried under a mile of ice as it was 12,000 years ago. As a cold country with a short growing season, it’s not clear to me why a warmer climate would be a bad thing. We could feed even more of the world.

However there is no evi-dence showing human CO2 emissions are changing the climate. There are only a bunch of computer models that can’t and don’t correct-ly predict the temperature or climate yesterday, or last week, or last month, or last year, or the last decade, much less 20, 50, or 100 years into the future.

This is a scam designed to transfer vast sums of money from taxpayers in developed countries to the budgets of corrupt UN bureaucrats and the Swiss bank accounts of Third World dictators, after some skimming by the “scien-tists” and politicians involved of course. Follow the money. The Chretien Liberal sponsor-ship scandal will seem like a rounding error compared to this.

Giving back to humankind. Feeling connected; finding a passion.

Those are all descriptions Tyler Voigt explains why peo-ple volunteer, and is the very nature of philanthropy.

“The activity itself (volun-teering) is dependent upon the person’s own empathic capacity … we make sure it’s going to work for you,” notes the execu-tive director of Volunteer Comox Valley, an organization whose mission is to be an agent of change, which promotes com-munity engagement through the power of service.

Voigt explains the organiza-tion came together in 1997 as there were people in the com-munity looking to volunteer, but didn’t know where to turn.

They now have an office, located at 450 Eighth St., which allows people from vari-ous backgrounds with different skills to be matched with either a one-time or ongoing volunteer position within the Valley.

“We do have a heavily-en-gaged demographic,” Voigt says, but quickly adds 10 per cent of volunteers contribute to 50 per cent of volunteers’ hours. He adds many are seniors – 65 and older – and generally those from the baby boomer gener-ation are seeking more skills-based opportunities.

“With trade-based opportuni-ties, they are generally more one-time events, such as being an electrician at MusicFest. These are very popular in the Comox Valley, espe-cially in the summer with festival after festival.”

W h i l e many retirees are seeking more consistent vol-unteer opportunities, he cites many one-time events are very useful to dispel the myth that youth are apathetic towards vol-unteering and philanthropy.

“The more experience you

have in life, generally the more likely you are to contribute to a volunteer cause, but we look at what you feel passionate about. We make sure it’s going to work

for you.”Voigt says

there are around 130 v o l u n t e e r o p p o r t u n i -ties available through VCV and whether individuals want to vol-unteer for a

specific group or service, or are looking to expand their skills and feel engaged, volunteer advisors will aid in matching the volunteer with the right opportunity.

Jessica Dawson, media out-

reach co-ordinator and a volun-teer with VCV for six years, says volunteering has allowed her to feel as though she is contribut-ing to her community.

Dawson is disabled and as a result, relies on her husband, who is her full-time caregiver, along with other supports to help her with daily tasks.

“Even though I have a dis-ability, I ended up feeling very useful. I grew up with a strong work ethic, and I’m helping to make the community a better place.”

She says through volunteer-ing, she has gained workplace experience skills, and is building relationships and friendships which she adds are “lasting and rewarding. I feel like they’re my family.”

Dawson encourages anyone

to volunteer, even those who are still in school or between jobs, as volunteering allows anyone to gain work experience and skills.

“It’s great because it fills in gaps on your resume. A person can be helping the community, and in return, it’s helping them with their career.”

She agrees with Voigt that it’s best to find a position that matches a passion, but says a volunteer can try a variety of different positions with differ-ent organizations to find the best fit.

“(Everyone has) a certain amount of time to volunteer, and any work you put in will be appreciated. There’s so many volunteer positions, you might be missing out if you try just one.”

She notes volunteering in any

capacity is exciting, good for the local economy and “the opportu-nities to make a difference are endless.

YAWARD

FINALIST

OF THE

Comox United Church (250 Beach Dr., Comox) will pres-ent the film The Car-bon Rush on Friday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.

Garbage incinera-tors in India, biogas extracted from palm oil in Honduras, euca-lyptus forests making charcoal in Brazil; all these projects receive carbon credits for off-setting pollution cre-ated somewhere else.

But are they actu-ally reducing emis-sions, and what about the communities near these projects?

The Carbon Rush takes us around the

world to meet people on the front lines of carbon trading. So far their voices have gone unheard in the multi-billion dollar carbon industry, nick-named “green gold” by its beneficiaries. Indigenous rain for-est dwellers are losing their way of life.

Waste pickers at landfills can’t support themselves. Dozens of Campesinos have been assassinated. The Carbon Rush shows the connection between these trage-dies and the United Nations’ Clean Devel-opment Mechanism, revealing the true cost of carbon trad-ing, and showing who stands to gain and who stands to lose.

Admission is by donation.

The Comox Valley Art Gal-lery celebrates the launch of its Winter Program opening on Nov. 20.

The lineup includes CVAG’s 41st annual Christ-mas Craft Fair, a window project installation entitled “Gift” by local media artist Carrie Tannant, two student shows featuring work from NIC fine arts department, along with two community make-art workshops.

The Gallery extends an invitation to the community to gather on the plaza for the opening reception at 5 p.m. on Nov. 20. Starting at 5 p.m., there will be snacks, beverages, opening remarks and some “Moonlight and Magic” provided by their community partner Elevate the Arts.

Downtown businesses will also be open late as part of the “Moonlight and Magic” event on Friday night.

The Fair, which runs from Nov. 20 to Dec. 26, “show-cases diverse high-quality handmade creations by over 60 regional artists and pro-vides a wonderful opportu-nity to buy local gifts at reasonable prices,” says Rhonda Burden, CVAG’s gift shop manager and orga-nizer of the Fair.

The gallery will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Nov. 20, with extended hours from Monday to Sat-urday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. start-ing Nov. 21 and continuing until Dec. 26.

On the opening day (Nov. 20) customers will receive

a 10 per cent discount and CVAG members will receive a 15 per cent discount on most items.

The opening event will also celebrate two exhibi-tions.

“Window Project: Gift,” is a site-responsive instal-lation by local media art-ist Carrie Tannant, on view 24/7 until Jan. 1 in CVAG’s street level Window Gallery. “Gift” invites us to consider our perceptions and inter-actions around giving and receiving.

“Gifts can say hello, express love and kinship, celebrate life transitions, tell stories, engender rec-iprocity, invite generosity,

and demonstrate status, amongst other things,” said Tannant. “They can be mys-terious things that bring with them a momentary feeling of gratitude or won-der, an awareness of poten-tial or a sense of place. By design and by chance, gifts affirm our cultural rela-tions and, in many ways, it’s what we recognize as gifts that makes us what we are.”

Two fine arts student shows will run back to back in the CVAG Community Space. The first is “Mix”, an exhibition of paintings by 13 students from North Island College ECUAD fine arts degree program (Nov.

20-Dec. 4). The second exhibition, “Telling Story”, includes photo-based works by seven art students study-ing at NIC (Dec. 12-26).

As part of CVAG’s commu-nity Make-Art workshops, two “everyone welcome” events will be offered to the public. On Nov. 28 from 1-5 p.m CVAG will host “Collage Party: Send and Receive,” facilitated by Sonia Stast-ny, curator of Studio B Gal-lery. A $5 materials fee and preregistration is required to join in on this collage card-making party. On Dec. 12 a solstice celebra-tion drop-in lantern mak-ing event will take place in the studio from 1-5 p.m., with a community lantern gathering at 5 p.m. on the plaza. The event is by dona-tion.

The opening events are family friendly, free and open to the public. Admis-sion to the gallery is by donation. For more info visit the gallery on Facebook and at comoxvalleyartgallery.com

Gordie MacKeeman has famous crazy legs.

If you don’t believe it, come to an evening with MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys on Nov. 20 at the Sid Wil-liams Theatre.

“That’s for my dancing,” the Prince Edward Island fid-dler admits about the crazy legs referenced in a press release.

“The style of danc-ing I do is clogging as well as traditional step dance, kind of a mixture of the two,” MacKeeman explains in an interview from PEI. “Crowds usually react to the dancing for sure.”

M a c K e e m a n attempts to explain why the Maritimes have such a strong cultural identity, par-ticularly with the region’s music.

“We’re a little more secluded out this way … and you see a lot of families down this way; there’s some families that every single person plays. A lot of times there’ll be after-parties in some-body’s kitchen.

“Anywhere you go, there seems to be a lot of music.”

MacKeeman says there aren’t truly dis-tinct regional styles within Maritimes music with the pos-sible exception of one part of Nova Scotia.

“Especially in the Celtic music you hear, sometimes the Cape Breton fiddlers will have a slightly differ-ent style of playing.”

Unlike the sound of other Maritime fid-dlers, MacKeeman’s style is not dominated by Celtic influences.

“The style of fid-dling I do mainly is Down East style. I was influenced when I was younger by a lot of players like (New Brunswick old-time player) Ned Landry, (Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame inductee) Al Cherny, (1960s Cana-dian music icon) Don Messer. So not quite as much on the Celt-ic side, more on the

Down East side.”Besides combining

two forms of dancing, MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys incor-porate several musi-cal styles into their crowd-pleasing sound.

“I would say every-thing we do is a good mix of everyone. There’s a lot of input from everybody in the band.

“I like old-time country and old-time fiddling stuff … we all like rockabilly and bluegrass. We just kind of fall under that roots umbrella.”

Mark Geddes (bass, drums, percus-sion, mandolin and banjo), Thomas Webb (vocals, banjo, guitar, pedal steel guitar and bass) and Peter Cann (vocals and gui-tar) are MacKeeman’s Rhythm Boys.

They celebrated

their fifth anniversa-ry together Oct. 1.

“We’re all basical-ly best friends, and we’ve been travelling together for quite awhile now.”

Their high-ener-gy, crowd-pleasing live show is equally by design and just because that’s what happens when they play to an audience.

“We really put a lot of concentration on making the show entertaining for an audience, but I think people can tell how well we get along onstage and that we love to play.

“We have a lot of people say after the show that they love the energy of it just as much as the music.”

MacKeeman and the Boys shouldn’t be nervous playing to a Sid crowd after per-

forming at England’s Glastonbury Festi-val, which attracts 250,000 fans.

Their album Pickin’ n Clickin’ was voted the 2014 Roots Tradi-tional Group Record-ing of the Year, the latest in a long line of East Coast Music Awards.

They were also awarded the Galaxie Supernova Award at the 2012 Ottawa Folk Festival for an out-standing, high-energy performance.

Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys perform Nov. 20 at the Sid Williams Theatre in Courtenay as part of the Sid’s Blue Cir-cle Series. For details and tickets, visit sid-williamstheatere.com, phone 250-338-2430 or visit the Sid box office at 442 Cliffe Ave.

Waller top volunteer for Dressage CanadaAllison Waller of Courte-

nay was named Dressage Canada’s (DC) Volunteer of the Month for October.

Waller was nominated by Mary Brogue of Comox, who described Waller as having a tremendous influence on the Upper Vancouver Island dressage community.

As an instructor, Waller has taught not only horse-back riding skills and horse-manship, but respect and responsibility for horses and others, including how to be an asset in the community. She is an accomplished and eloquent instructor with the ability to recognize and adapt her teaching style to each individual student and each horse’s learning pro-cess.

Waller is also well-known as a humble individual who recognizes the importance of her previous and continu-

ing education with dressage instructors and masters both in Canada and across the pond in Europe.

In addition to coaching, Waller volunteers her time

in support of local clinics and shows, and does an exemplary job, emphasizing safety and care for the ani-mals.

Teaching by example

and promoting teamwork, Waller encourages her stu-dents to volunteer as well.

Waller is also passion-ate about supporting the local island horse shows. She encourages all of her students to enter the show ring, and Upper Vancouver Island has seen a recent growth of dressage, especial-ly amongst junior competi-tors, thanks to her influence.

From introducing small children to the joys of hors-es to coaching upper level riders in the art of dressage, both western and English styles, Waller has touched the lives of many.

Dressage Canada is pleased to recognize Waller’s altruistic efforts in support of dressage in Canada by awarding her the DC Vol-unteer of the Month Award for October, a spokesperson said.

Glacier Kings lose at home, win on the road

Two close games produced a win and a loss for the Comox Valley Glacier Kings in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League action last week.

The Yetis had no luck on Friday, Nov. 13 on home ice, falling 6-5 to the Oceanside Generals, but bounced back Saturday, Nov. 14 to edge

the Kerry Park Islanders 3-2 in Kerry Park.

Ronnie Wilkie staked the Icemen to a 1-0 first period lead on Saturday, then after the Islanders had rallied to take a 2-1 lead by the mid-way mark of the second stanza, Grant Iles and Cur-tis Csuk tallied to earn the G-Kings the win.

Comox Valley out-shot Kerry Park 28-25, with Paul Broadbent picking up the win.

Friday the 13th produced a rarity when the Generals won just their third game of the season, 6-5 at the Comox Valley Sports Cen-

tre. The visitors led 2-0 after one period and 6-3 after two.

The Yetis got within one goal twice but lost despite out-shooting Oceans-ide 42-22. Broadbent was tagged with the loss; Brad-dock Otton played 20 min-utes in net.

Dayton Keith, Wilkie, Grayden McInnes, Jordan Bautista and Kyle Wade scored for the G-Kings.

The schedule gets tough for the Yetis this weekend with three games in three days, including two on the road against the league’s two top teams.

The G-Kings play North

Division leaders Campbell River Storm on Nov. 20 in C.R., host Peninsula Pan-thers on Nov. 21 (7:30 p.m. SC#1) and visit South Divi-sion leaders Victoria Cou-gars on Nov. 22.

ICE CHIPS The Yetis are wearing special blue jerseys as Movember is Prostate Cancer, Men’s Health and Awareness Month … they will be auctioning these jer-seys as well as other items, with auction bid sheets available at home games … they will also have T-shirts for sale with net proceeds going to the Canadian Can-cer Society …

Raiders win final game of season Tenacious ‘D’ was the key to

victory for the Comox Valley Midget Raiders on Nov. 8 as they dominated the Cowichan Timbermen 22-0 at Bill Moore Memorial Park in Courtenay.

Playing their final game of the season, the Raiders were looking to avenge a 21-20 loss to the T-Men earlier this sea-son. With this game on their home field, and with the sup-port of all the Raider fans, the result was much different.

The Raiders defence was a force all game and really set the tone for the game. The Timbermen had trouble han-dling the Raiders’ defensive front seven all game as they held the visitors in check and pressured their QB all game.

Middle linebacker Brody Fussell played a strong game and on a key play in the open-ing quarter hit the Timbermen running back and stripped the ball and recovered his own forced fumble.

In the first quarter the Raid-ers opened the scoring with a punt for a single point by Jimmy Brazier before running back Duncan Simpson added a TD run. Brazier added a successful convert kick to give the Raiders an 8-0 lead.

In the second quarter the Raiders’ defensive dominance was on full display as they sacked the quarterback four times and continually shut down the Cowichan offence.

On the final play of the first half quarterback Bray-don Sherwood hit receiver Aaron Slack for a 50-yard TD pass. Slack had an impressive run after the catch assisted by some excellent down-field blocking. Brazier again con-verted to give the Raiders a 15-0 lead

The second half saw a stale-mate in the third quarter before the Raiders finished off the T-Men with another touch-down in the fourth quarter. On third and three from the Tim-bermen eight-yard line the Raiders’ second quarterback Ryan Beauchamp took a boot leg to the left and rumbled in for the major. Brazier booted his third successful convert kick.

Notable defensive plays in the fourth quarter were line-backer Richard Tipper with a sack for a 14-yard loss and linebacker Fussell with a big tackle on third and eight to cause a turnover on downs.

The defence, led by the front seven play of linemen Misen-er, Jaco Roos, Deakon Gilmore, and Jesse Valdock, and line-backers Brazier, Fussell and Tipper, was outstanding.

“The Raiders’ defence has played well all season and this

game was just another exam-ple of the hard work put in by defensive coordinator Josh Revenberg,” a team spokes-person said.

The offence was led by the strong play of Brazier, Simp-son and Slack, all playing their final games as Raiders. This was also head coach Ryan Pederson’s last game as he has decided to take a well-de-served break from coaching.

“The Raiders thank Peder-son for all his years of coach-ing as being a volunteer coach is a time-consuming endeav-our and his efforts are greatly appreciated,” the spokesper-son said.

The Raiders football orga-nization always welcome new players. No previous football experience is required and the only equipment needed is a pair of cleats. For more information go to comoxval-leyraiders.com

Young members of the CVAC Shark were in fine form at the Fav Five swim meet. PHOTO SUBMITTED

The Comox Valley Aquatic Club recently hosted several clubs from B.C. Over 60 Sharks competed at the first meet of the season hosted at the Comox Aquatic Cen-tre.

The Fav Five is the first competition of the season that the Sharks host. And it was a first ever for some of the Sharks youngest competitors.

The excitement was contagious with the newest Shark School-ers and some of the second- and third-year Sharks racing to personal bests. For some of these Sharks, this was the first time they stepped on the diving blocks.

Head coach Kris Bell noted, “As a coach and a parent, the pride is overwhelming to see young swim-mers achieve personal firsts.”

Highlights from the competition saw Shark School sib-lings Ava and Alvin Timpug, Yuna and Jemin Park, Gabby and Emma Delorme improve on their times and skills.

Shark School-ers placing in the top three: Lilian Anish-Nesling, Gabri-elle Delorme, Auce-anne Guerineau, Hailey Hickman, Jas-min Ho-Gillis, Chan-telle Lambert, Alex Nicholson, Jemin Park, Emma Pignatel, Aiden Timpug, Ava Timpug and Seth Wil-liams.

Bell gave a spe-cial thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors who helped ensure every young swimmer and parent had the opportuni-ty to cheer on every Shark in the water.

The total area proposed for this herbicide treatment is a maximum of 22 hectares annually, spread across more than 17,000 coastal hectares. Pesticide applications will consist only of the herbicide called Habitat (active ingredient: imazapyr), which will be applied to selected sites within the areas identified above using handheld spray bottles, backpack sprayers or mounted sprayers. Pesticide applications will complement existing and ongoing mechanical removal methods.

Proposed duration of this pesticide use is from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2019.

A draft copy of the pesticide use permit application and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined online at: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hra/Plants/pmp.htm, by contacting the Applicant (Leif-Matthias Herborg) or by contacting the Agent listed above.

A person wishing to contribute information about the treatment sites for the evaluation of this permit application must send copies of the information to both the agent for the applicant at the address above and the administrator under the Integrated Pest Management Act at Ministry of Environment (10470 152nd Street, Surrey, B.C. V3R 0Y3) within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

■ CARRYING THE TORCHBill and Bonnie Moore, owners of Moore’s Cleaning & Maintenance Service, won the Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island’s 2015 Torch Award for Cleaning Services. It was the second straight year that the Moores won the Cleaning Services Torch Award. The 2015 Torch Awards were announced Nov. 9. Moore’s Cleaning & Maintenance Service was the only Comox Valley business to win. The awards are handed out annually to companies in 13 different categories “that have demonstrated their exemplary commitment to honest and ethical business practices and customer service excellence,” said Rosalind Scott, president and CEO of BBB serving Vancouver Island.

For the first time, The Women’s Enter-prise Centre of BC is offering a peer men-toring group in the Comox Valley.

These groups are for women in the first three years of busi-ness and are designed to help women entre-preneurs address the issues and barriers they experience while making the transition to self-employment.

It runs bi-weekly over six weeks and is facilitated by a volun-teer mentor.

Local award-win-ning entrepreneur Christina (Tina) Wil-lard-Stepan will be facilitating the Val-ley’s group, starting Nov. 23.

“I worked with a mentor from the Women’s Enterprise Centre early on in my first business and it made a tremendous difference in how supported I felt,” said Willard-Stepan.

“She helped me get clear on many busi-ness-specific details, but more importantly offered me a helping hand that made me feel much less alone. Women are amazing leaders, but are even more powerful if they feel supported.”

Card of Thanks for Bernard RossnerI first encountered Bernie at Bens’ home, I thought to myself what a warm and gen-tle person! I could see why Ben was so comfortable around Bernie. I had been told by Trevor that he had chosen Bernie to be one of Bens’ caregivers because he had found him to be all around a very genuine and compassionate person. He also said Bernie loves to cook which Ben also benefited from as he was healthy and Bernie could cook his special diet. Bernie treated Ben like a brother and a friend! Bernie treated me like a sister! You have to know that not all people treated me as Bernie had and the love he poured out as a caregiver to my son Ben, well he might have been an angel too. At least I think so! I know that Ben will miss him and I will too!

But when we see him in heaven, I will be able to rejoice with my brother in Christ! And Ben will be able to have conversations because he will be able to talk then and with Bernie! “Bernie do you remember the time we laughed, sang, ate, you prayed and you carried me through my seizures I knew that you loved Jesus because I felt and saw Him in you!

DEATHS DEATHS

Fraser McAllan, Farewell!With aching hearts, we bid

goodbye to Fraser McAllan—poet, writer, editor, speaker, teacher, artist, craftsman, singer--who deeply loved Nature, children and animals and delighted in helping people. Born in Scotland on March 3, 1932, he passed away on November 7, 2015 at the age of 83.

He was a masterful, engaging speech coach of two world champions and countless others. He will be remembered by his generosity, vibrant spirit, intense passions, creativity, keen and curious mind, wit and humour which persisted to the very end.

He will be sorely missed by his beloved wife, Arabella, children, grandkids--and caring friends, students, and colleagues whose lives he touched.

We are deeply moved and grateful for the notes, greetings, visits and immense support and extreme kindness he has received, from caring folks, close and far-away friends and family. If you wish to remember Fraser or send your thoughts to Arabella, please email: [email protected]. Fraser's poem embodies his philosophy:

Immortalityby Fraser McAllan ®1976

Say not that you love me above all others The World cares not for all my wit or wisdom rare

Of secrets hid or soul laid bare When I have gone

to Paradise or to eternal restOr into nothingness ~

encompassed all about with naughtSay only this: that you remember me

On this alone rests

Immortality.

Cubswin 8-7at WorldSeries

The Comox Val-ley Cubs overcame arachnophobia to win their opening game at the 2015 Roy Hobbs World Series in Fort Myers, Fla.

After a great prac-tice on Saturday, the Cubs’ opening game was Sunday against the Cleveland Spiders. “The game began in a very bad way, as the Spiders scored seven runs in the first three innings,” reports Kevin Dobbelsteyn.

“We were a bit ner-vous and were squeez-ing the gloves, and the pitching (yours truly) was very incon-sistent,” Dobbelsteyn said.

The Spiders led 7-0 after three innings and maintained that edge through four frames.

However, Dob-belsteyn found his range on the mound and shut the Spiders down the rest of the way. And the Cubs’ bats came alive.

Gowans emptied the bases with a drive to right field. McGiff-en went 3-for-3. Wis-hart had two critical hits and drove in a pair of runs.

Egeland used great patience to draw an eighth inning walk. Greene had a fine game behind the plate and at the plate. Fau-teux made the tough managerial decisions to keep the game close.

With their tempo-rary bout of arach-nophobia cured, the Cubs scored three in the bottom of the eighth to secure the 8-7 comeback victory.

The Comox Valley crew, playing in the age 60-plus Classics Division, took on the San Antonio Texans Monday. They play Kent Mudhens on Tuesday and Long Island Yankees on Wednesday. Playoffs follow.
