“I’ve been wanting to go home for awhile,” Isaac LeBlanc says as he grins at his big understate-ment.

LeBlanc, a 27-year-old Comox Valley resident, has been in hos-pital care for well over a year, after he started suffering from neck pain in late 2011.

His condition quickly worsened

and within a matter of weeks he was unable to speak or move his body from the neck down.

LeBlanc spent time in hospi-tals in Vancouver and Victoria as medical professionals tried to diagnose what was wrong.

According to his mother Wendy LeBlanc, Isaac has been diag-nosed with a rare form of multiple sclerosis called Marburg, but she adds there’s still a “big question mark” beside the diagnosis.

Isaac is now at St. Joseph’s General Hospital and is able to speak — though with obvious effort — and move his arms and hands. However, he still cannot move his lower body, basically from his chest down.

Slowly, but steadily, Isaac has been improving. Wendy notes he recently had some sensations in his feet for a short while, and he’s building his strength back through physiotherapy.

She adds Isaac can’t live in an apartment or house unless it has wheelchair access, and she hasn’t been able to find suitable accom-modation in the Valley.

Thus, she says, doctors sug-gest Isaac go to a long-term care facility during this part of his recovery.

“They want to send him to an old folks home — which is not good,” says Wendy. “He’s like ‘I

Mystery illness keeps man in hospital

Liberals creating cynicism?Erin HaluschakRecord Staff

Facing a room full of support-ers Saturday, provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix called the Lib-eral ‘ethnic-gate’ scandal a source of creating even more cynicism in politics, and blamed the entire Liberal government on the issue.

During a brunch fundraising stop in the Comox Valley at the Best Western Plus Westerly Hotel, Dix addressed many campaign issues during a half-hour speech to show support for Comox Valley NDP candidate Kassandra Dyke, but discussed the Liberal’s ethnic outreach vote-wooing scandal.

“The multicultural document presented and the strategy that the government employed doesn’t reflect the way you want to see our government act and it hurts everybody and creates more cyni-cism in politics,” he told media after the event.

“I think the review and the investigation has to be brought (forward) and has to meet the test. This isn’t about one person but it’s about a government that has decided to go on a path that most people would say is the wrong path.”

He added very strong efforts were taken on the part of the gov-ernment to keep the documents from public scrutiny.

Dix noted he respects Pre-mier Christy Clark and his party should not be focused on “tearing other people down.”

“The problem with what the Liberals have done here is that

... see CAMPAIGN ■ 2

they make the partici-pation of democracy look bad, and we’ve got to bring people back to the political system,” he explained. “Some people in poli-tics treat politics like a game, and it’s not a game. The conse-quences are serious for people.”

Dix said his govern-ment is running a posi-tive campaign leading up to the May election, and said he wants peo-ple to vote for Dyke because they support her ideas and policies, not because they aren’t satisfied with Liberal Comox Valley MLA Don McRae.

“If Kassandra’s just elected because people don’t like the local MLA or I’m elected because people don’t like the premier, that’s a thin mandate to get the things we need done, done,” he noted.

“I’m not going to run down anyone else. It’s very challenging to be a MLA in these times. We don’t want to win because we’re running a negative campaign against (Don McRae), we want to win because people want to vote for Kassandra.”

Dix explained a key challenge for the Comox Valley riding is ensuring a strong economy for the many people who want to live in the area.

He added it starts with people being able to live in the Valley, earn money and stay [email protected]

don’t want to go there Mom, I don’t want to go there.’ “

Isaac’s father owns a duplex in Courtenay, and Isaac lived in one of the suites before he became ill. Because the existing bathroom and bedroom are upstairs, Wendy wants to add a wheelchair-accessible bathroom and bedroom to the lower portion of

the suite.She would live in the

suite next door so she can take care of Isaac.

She’s researched BC Housing’s Home Adap-tations for Indepen-dence program, which will provide up $20,000 for home adaptations to help low-income people with disabilities in B.C.

But, she says quotes for the work have come

in between $46,000 and $52,000.

She plans to fund-raise for the remainder of the cost, and plans are in the works for a fundraiser May 4 at the Lower Elks Hall.

Wendy hopes to have live bands, a pot-luck meal and poker tournament during the event and is look-ing for volunteers to help organize as well as volunteer bands and donated items to be given away as prizes. Anyone who would like to help out can call Wendy at 250-218-6489.

Wendy and Isaac say they are very thank-ful to the community for the support they received last year when Wendy chose to

stay with Isaac during his time in Victoria and Vancouver.

“I could never have been there for Isaac

if they didn’t do that— I could never havedone it myself becauseof being on disability(income) myself.”

The Comox Valley School District may soon make another application to sub-divide its land at G.P. Vani-er Secondary School.

The school district released last week its G.P. Vanier Ecological Assess-ment and Protection Plan study to the public during its Board of Education meet-ing. The study was commis-sioned by the district to support its applications to subdivide its property at Vanier, according to a brief-ing note by Comox Valley School District secretary treasurer Russell Horswill.

“Now we’re looking to schedule an opportunity to meet with interested par-ties,” added Horswill in a follow-up interview, not-ing environmental protec-tion groups like the Comox Valley Land Trust will be invited to the meeting.

“And then from there the process would be to look at subdividing the land three ways, so one would be the school site (Vanier), the second one would be the protected forest, and then the third area would be…for potential development,” added Horswill.

According to the report — which was completed by

Current Environmental, Raincoast Applied Ecology and MDI Design and can be viewed in full at www.sd71.bc.ca/district-properties.php — the Comox Valley School District has applied to subdivide the land at least twice before, once in 2006 and once in 2010.

Both applications were turned down by the Courte-nay councils of the day with concerns cited around pro-tection of the area’s envi-ronmental systems.

The area referred to as Vanier Oaks is a 10.6-hectare treed part of the school dis-trict’s Vanier property that sits east of the sports centre and Vanier school.

According to the report, about 5.7 hect-ares of Vanier Oaks is recommended for protection, with Garry oak trees, aquatic habitats and wildlife trees on the proper-ty noted in particular. The other 4.9 hectares could be used for low-impact devel-opment purposes, according to the report.

The section with Vanier school on it would stay as is, added Horswill.

If subdivision of the land is approved by the City of Courtenay this time around, Horswill said the school district would want to transfer the 5.7 hectares to one of the local envi-ronmental associations for caretaking purposes, as the district would not want the responsibility.

“What our goal would be is that we are not respon-sible or expected to main-tain the sensitive forest area — there’s a lot of inva-sive plants and trees that

need trimming and all that stuff to make it a healthy for-est, which we don’t have the resources to do, or the exper-tise,” explained Horswill, adding the report spe-cifically men-tions the Comox Valley Land

Trust, but other options are available as well.

The school district would like to have access to the protected land for educa-tional use by students from kindergarten to Grade 12, as well as post-secondary.

“We would like to return something where the stu-dents, all ages, can benefit from learning what’s going

on in that forest,” he said,adding it would be used tohelp teach students aboutscience and the environ-ment.

The district would then attempt to sell the remain-ing 4.9 hectares of develop-able land.

“The next discussionwould be how to proceedwith the disposition (of the4.9 hectares) and the schooldistrict has some options,everything from selling it,to working with a devel-oper and going throughthe rezoning process — butthat’s a little ways down theroad,” added Horswill, not-ing the district feels moreconfident subdivision of theproperty could be approvedthanks to the study.

“This study that’s been released is a culmination ofa full year’s worth of assess-ments — so the writer ofthe report had been visit-ing the site for 12 monthsdocumenting what’s goingon — so it’s quite a compre-hensive review.

“The school district is seeking to find a respon-sible and prudent way tomove forward and protect-ing the sensitive area, andbeing able to move on thepotential development area— it seems like a good bal-ance from our perspective.”

Courtenay council meet-ings will now be viewable from the comfort of your home, thanks to council’s approval of a webcasting system.

“I’ve been a supporter of webcasting our council meetings because I think the more people that see how we make decisions, where we make decisions, the issues that we discuss, all adds to people’s under-standing of how council works, and I think that’s a good thing,” said Coun. Jon Ambler during Monday’s council meeting.

Councillors were pre-sented with three options:

• A stationary cam-era system costing about $6,000;

• A multi-camera system costing $20,000 to $30,000;

• A multi-camera system with an Anycast Station costing $30,000 to $40,000.

The two pricier options include more advanced camera setups allowing for close-ups on specific speak-ers among other things, but

they also require an equip-ment operator during meet-ings.

Option One is similar to the system Comox has, according to the Courtenay staff report, and simply fea-tures one stationary cam-era with audio.

Council unanimously chose option one.

Coun. Manno Theos noted he watched a Comox meeting as well as other municipal council meetings with more advanced sys-tems. He said the simple system works, and he would like to start with that and see how many people watch the meetings online.

“At this point I would just be very interested to see what kind of response we get with the very stan-dard product, that does the job and is doing it in our neighbouring community, and to go from there,” he said.

Courtenay staff will move forward with the proj-ect now, and there is money set aside in the 2013 budget for the system, according to the staff report.

The Union Bay Improve-ment District has taken legal action against the Comox Valley School Dis-trict, from which it pur-chased land housing the old Union Bay Elementary school for $675,000.

Court documents say the land cannot be bought or sold because its use is limited for school purposes. The UBID uses part of the building as office space.

The property is an amal-gamation of three par-cels. The school district acquired about an acre plus the building through

a Crown grant in 1949, and an adjacent one-acre lot from Canadian Collieries. In 1977, it added the third parcel in an exchange with a developer.

The UBID purchased the land in 2007. It was assessed at about $1.3 mil-lion.

The UBID is suing to recover the full purchase price plus interest, taxes and fees.

School district officials confirmed the legal action but were unable to com-ment.

UBID board chair Bruce Livesey did not return calls.

Courtenay coun-cil voted to forward a Coun. Ronna-Rae Leonard resolution proposing a community forum about homeless-ness to the Comox Val-ley Regional District.

Leonard said her res-olution was prompted by Lake Trail Middle School student Rachael Jancowski’s Feb. 18 presentation to council on homelessness in the Comox Valley.

The resolution sug-gests a community forum “to hear from service providers and experts in affordable housing provision regarding the depen-dent-end of the hous-ing continuum” and that the Comox Valley Housing Task Force be asked to organize the event.

Coun. Starr Win-chester pointed out the housing task force is a regional body and homelessness is a regional issue, so the resolution should be forwarded to the CVRD for consideration.

The resolution will be forwarded to the CVRD for inclusion on the next available meeting agenda.

• • •Water and sewer

user rates will official-ly go up by 10 and 20 per cent respectively for 2013 as council approved final adop-tion of the new rates Monday.

The annual water user fee for a single family dwelling will increase by $31 and the sewer user fee will increase by $33, accord-ing to a staff report.

The water frontage tax will also increase from $1.09 per taxable foot to $1.14 per tax-able foot.

Much of the increas-es are due to higher costs, and the need for infrastructure improvements.

• • •Applications to

rezone and amend the Official Community Plan for the proposed medical centre on the corner of Mission and Lerwick Roads were given final approval by council.

The project would see a two-building medical and office cen-tre next to the new regional hospital.

• • •Development activ-

ity in Courtenay has been fairly stable over the past few years, council heard during a report from the City’s development services department.

“In 2012, the City had a total con-struction value of $51,670,337 as com-pared to $57,297,883 in 2011,” wrote Peter Crawford, director of development services in his report, adding, “the construction val-ues have been relative-ly stable over the last three years.”

Some of the major building permits issued were: Target department store, Lewis Centre renova-tion and expansion and the Thrifty Foods

at Crown Isle develop-ment among others.

Some major bylaw applications includ-ed: the Comox Valley hospital, the medical clinic at Mission and Lerwick roads, 32 residential units on Dingwall Road, 32 residential units on Arden Road and the first phase, (lots one to 69), of the Buckstone development in South Courtenay.

Although Crawford said he doesn’t have a “crystal ball” he noted some upcoming work and potential projects for 2013: more com-mercial development in the Crown Isle area, three development projects in the Arden Road area and two multi-family residen-tial projects on Cliffe Avenue south of 30th Street, among others.

The department is also in the process of creating and updat-ing various City plans and bylaws, such as the Arden Area Local Area Plan and the Tree Management and Protection Bylaw.

• • •Courtenay coun-

cil received the City’sState of the Environ-ment 2013 report which outlines how theCity is doing in termsof its carbon footprint.

The report will be posted on the City’swebsite at www.cour-tenay.ca for the public.

It is the first time Courtenay has pro-duced a ‘sustainabilityaudit’ tool, according toa City staff report, andthe report will act asa baseline for futurereference.

The report features information on whereCourtenay sits in termsof air, water, transpor-tation, land use, wasteand energy.

• • •Courtenay will host

the 2015 Associationof Vancouver IslandCoastal Communitiesannual general meet-ing and convention.

The convention will bring municipal lead-ers from all over Van-couver Island and someof coastal B.C. here inApril of that year.

Coun. Doug Hillian noted the timing tiesin well with Courte-nay’s centennial year.

No traffic calm-ing measures will be implemented in the Old Orchard area after Courtenay staff com-pleted a traffic study.

Lesley Hatch, munic-ipal engineer for Cour-tenay, noted a traffic study was completed in the area between Jan. 7 and 11 this year in response to a Decem-

ber request from coun-cil for one.

“After reviewing the data City staff conclud-ed that traffic calming measures are not war-ranted at this time,” wrote Courtenay direc-tor of operational ser-vices Kevin Lagan in a report to council.

Council requested the traffic study after two different petitions from area residents. Council first received

a petition in the fall, which was signed by 18 residents represent-ing 10 area properties, and requested John-ston Avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets be closed to out-side traffic.

The second petition came before council in December, requesting Fourth Street be par-tially closed to prevent vehicles from heading west on Fourth Street to Johnston Avenue.

Past Courtenay councillor and cur-rent Comox Valley MLA Don McRae and his wife made up two signatures on the peti-tions, and City CAO Sandy Gray and his wife made up anoth-er two. Gray was not present during council discussion to avoid a conflict of interest.

Safety concerns were cited as the reason for the requests.

However, Lagan’s report noted the traf-fic study indicated that during peak hours just four vehicles trav-elled north on John-ston Avenue and 19 travelled south. The report noted north-bound vehicles passed by with 85th percen-tile speeds of nearly 30 km/h and northbound traffic passed by at just over 37 km/h. “The 85th percentile being the speed that we’re looking for to verify the speed limit in the area, which is 50 kilometres an hour,” added Hatch in her verbal report to council. “The vehi-cles that were tracked through this examina-tion were well below the speed limit.”

Council unanimous-ly approved the staff recommendation that no traffic calming mea-sures be undertaken.

On Wednesday, from 7 to 8 p.m., North Island College will host an open session for the community to come and learn about the college’s new mas-ter plan for the Comox Valley campus.

Since the original campus development, the master plan has evolved as planning projections and priori-ties have changed. A 1999 review provided a set of strategies to guide the future devel-opment of the campus with recommendations governing siting of future buildings and other improvements which were integrated into the 2001 master site plan.

With the adoption of the 2011-2015 stra-tegic plan, the college initiated a consulta-tive process to review and revise the Comox Valley master plan to reflect the current vision for the future and incorporate the planning implications of a hospital located on a site adjoining the campus.

The community ses-sion will be held in the Stan Hagen Theatre, located at NIC’s Comox Valley campus, from 7 to 8 p.m. For further information, contact

Cash for DenmanFederal funding of $26,000 will support the

restoration of the Denman Island Community Hall’s foundation.

The money, announced Friday by MP Vancou-ver Island North MP John Duncan, comes from the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

The project involves removing the deteriorated wooden foundation and replacing it with a con-crete foundation, as well as installing new floor-ing, wall, roofing, and insulation components. The project will also relocate the side entry door.

Courtenay business owner and paramedic Bill Coltart received the Silver Medal of Merit on Saturday during the Lifesavings Society’s Common-wealth Honour and Rescue Awards.

The society rec-ognized volunteer commitment and res-cue bravery at the 101st awards ceremo-ny at the Hotel Van-couver.

This year’s awards were presented by Deputy Mayor Tony Tang of Vancouver.

It was a July eve-ning when Coltart and Calgarian Iain Kenny of Pacific Pro Dive departed the marina in Comox after cleaning up their vessel from a long day of charters. Their cell phone rang and a friend had indi-cated that there was a mayday call in the area and inquired if they were still on the water.

They were told that a boat was taking on water and in danger of sinking off the west coast of Hornby Island. Bill and Iain quickly returned to the mari-na, reloaded their boat and headed toward the

location while donning drysuits in case they had to enter the water.

They arrived in about 20 minutes to find an old commer-cial fishing boat half submerged and listing dangerously at a 45-de-gree angle.

Huddled on the stern wearing lifejack-ets were a mother and father with their three

children ranging in age from about three to 12 years.

Bill and Iain manoeuvred their ves-sel alongside and care-

fully brought each of the family members aboard their vessel to warm them and treat them for shock. They were uninjured and

avoided entering the water thanks to the quick response of their rescuers.

Soon after, members of the French Creek Coast Guard station and the Comox-based Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue team were on-site and the family was turned over to them and taken ashore for further med-ical attention.

It was later learned that the victims were unable to use their marine radio due to

onboard flooding, butwere fortunate to bein an area having cellphone service, so theycalled 911.

They had also fired flares only seen bythe BC Ferry Tanakathat runs between Denman and HornbyIslands, which thendeployed a rescue boatto assist. The 45-year-old fishing vessel wasreported to have beenfully submerged andlost later that evening.

Abbotsford police have issued a public notice about the release from prison of a con-victed sex offender.

Adrian Julian Wil-son, 34, is five feet six inches tall, weighs 170 pounds, and has short brown hair and brown eyes. He is residing in the Abbotsford area.

According to police, Wilson has a criminal history involving rob-beries and sex-related offences against men and women. He is con-sidered to be a high risk to reoffend.

In December 2011, RCMP in the Comox Valley issued a similar warning about Wilson, after he was released from jail and was living in that area.

He was returned to prison just over a month later for breach-ing his conditions by entering a liquor store. He was sentenced to four months in jail fol-lowed by 18 months’ probation.

RCMP again issued a public notice upon his release from prison in April 2012. He again breached his conditions — within six hours of his release — by drink-ing alcohol.

The Comox Valley Transition Society is celebrating Interna-tional Women’s Day at Too Good To Be Threw Thrift Shop this Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The roots of Inter-national Women’s Day (IWD) can be traced back to the struggles of female workers in the late 19th and early 20th century, who cam-paigned for fair wages, safe working condi-tions, eight-hour days and an end to sexual harassment in the workplace.

Around the same time, women in many countries were cam-paigning for the right to vote. In 1910, women representing 17 coun-tries voted to establish an international day for women. The first IWD was celebrated in 1911.

Each year, the Unit-ed Nations establishes a theme for IWD. This year, the theme is “A promise is a prom-ise: Time for action to end violence against women.”

“This theme is obvi-ously fits with the mandate of our orga-nization,” says Heather Ney, executive director of the Transition Soci-ety.

“Every year we pro-vide service to several hundred women and

children who have expe-rienced violence. Just like the recent One Billion Rising event, this year’s IWD theme serves as a reminder that the campaign to end violence against women and girls is a global campaign and we are part of that big-ger picture.”

Everyone is invited to join the TransitionSociety for cake at TooGood To Be Threw at367 Sixth St. in Cour-tenay this Fridaybetween 11 a.m. and1 p.m.

For more informa-tion, call 250-897-0511.

Recently, a crowd of 40 people gathered at North Island College to view the new docu-mentary film Status Quo? The unfinished business of feminism in Canada by the National Film Board.

“There is no less need for feminism and a women’s move-ment now than there was in the 1960s when the Royal Commis-sion on the Status of Women made recom-mendations to the federal government,” said Richelle Gardin-er-Hynds, instructor in Women’s Studies at the college, and chair of the event.

A panel discussion following the film included Savannah McKenzie, a student at North Island Col-lege; Marie Skinner, a retired teacher and

chair-elect of Senior Peer Counselling in the Comox Valley; Wendy Morin of the John Howard Society and the Comox Valley Transition Society; and Tammy Collard with the Ministry of Social Development.

Savannah’s initial reaction to the film was that, “We can see the strong women who came before us. Our past successes are vul-nerable, however, and we must continue to be vigilant in order to keep moving forward on women’s issues.”

The audience also got involved. One audience member commented, “I think

it’s great that there are young women out there to continue the fight. My God, girls! Go for it!”

Another noted that feminism is not radi-cal, “Radical means rooted, not ‘far out.’ ”

The film is being screened in cit-ies across Canada through a partnership between the National Film Board and the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW). You can catch ‘Status Quo?’ on the National Film Board website (nfb.ca/iwd) from March 8 through March 10.

The film zeroes in on key concerns such

as violence against women, access to abor-tion, and universal childcare, asking how much progress we have truly made on these issues. It uncovers answers that are pro-vocative and at times shocking.

Rich with archival material and startling contemporary stories, Status Quo? is cru-cial viewing for every Canadian, especially those unfamiliar with the vital achievements of the feminist move-ment.

You can view a trail-er for the film at nfb.ca/iwd. — Canadian

Caring for sick became habit for hospital nuns

THE FIRST FOUR Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto who came to Comox to establish a hospital in 1913, Sr. Jaella, Sr. Claudia, Sr. Praxedes and Sr. St. Edmund (top). Some Sisters of St. Joseph take a break from working in the hospital. PHOTOS COURTESY ST. JOSEPH’S GENERAL HOSPITAL


The Comox Valley Record will feature one story about hospital his-tory per month leading up to the hospital’s big 100th anniversary cel-ebration on July 7 on the hospital grounds.

St. Joseph’s General Hos-pital is a big part of Comox Valley history — and it all started when four women came here to care for others nearly 100 years ago.

Four Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto — Sister Majella, who was Sister Superior, Sister St. Edmund, Sister Claudia and Sister Praxedes — left their home in Toronto on June 29, 1913 to come to Comox and estab-lish a hospital.

They came here after an urgent request for medical care for loggers and their families from J.D. McCormack, who was president of the Comox Log-ging Company.

The sisters arrived on July 5 and, according to Sr. Majella’s recounting of the trip, it was a cold rainy day when they got here.

However, the next day, Sr. Majella, (who wrote in the third person), was happy to be here.

“Later in the day, Sr. Majella called Sr. Claudia on the verandah and her eyes filled with tears, she said, ‘Do you know I think we will like this place, just look at the mountains. Oh the scenery is wonderful and the foliage and roses are marvelous,” wrote Sr. Majella.

Comox Valley resident Myrtle Heron, (nee McKen-zie), explained the commu-nity was very excited about the sisters’ arrival and the prospect of a hospital in Comox. Heron’s father John McKenzie, who was just 17 at the time, picked up the sisters when they arrived in Comox.

“My father was sent down to the wharf with the horse and carriage to pick them up and take them to where they were staying…

He always felt he had been honoured by his Dad ask-ing him to do this,” said Myrtle, as she explained her grandfather owned the livery stable business, which was similar to a taxi service nowadays. “He was always very proud of the fact that he had done that at his young age.”

The four sisters had their first patient in August, whom they accommodated in a small farmhouse at the top of Siwash Hill — which had capacity for four

p a t i e n t s , and the sis-ters them-selves lived in.

By Feb-ruary of 1914, they were able to move into a 10-bed hospital on ad jo in ing p r o p e r t y b o u g h t , r e n o v a t -ed and expanded after the s i s t e r s ’ a r r i v a l .

This 10-bed hospital was renovated and expand-ed over the years until it became what St. Joseph’s General Hospital is today.

Many different Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto spent time at the hospital over their 79 years of service to the Comox Valley, until the order that founded the hos-pital closed the mission.

Christ the King Parish Heritage Society compiled a small booklet with excerpts from community members and their memories of the sisters, which it gave to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto before they left in 1992.

One excerpt said: “I remember seeing Sister St. James skipping like a girl through our hopscotch squares. Wearing as they did the sombre black habit, we never gave a thought to the fact that some of these women were very young, perhaps hardly more than girls.”

Another said: “My cousin had a baby in the hospital who turned out to be RH negative and in need of an

immediate blood transfu-sion. Sister St. Jude, the nun who was the X-ray technician, had the right type of blood and donated it to save the baby.”

Another part of the book-let pointed out the non-Catholic community were not always sure how to behave in front of the sis-ters during the early days of the hospital. This excerpt notes a comical incident involving Sr. Claudia and a workman who was install-ing wiring in the hospital around 1920: “Finally dur-ing a difficult phase of the procedure a workman was heard to say to the hovering spectator, ‘Sister Claudia, get the hell out of here and let me swear!’ Sister chuck-led and went. She remained forever after a favourite of the person who related the story.”

❝ Later in the day, Sr. Majella called Sr. Clau-dia on the veran-dah and her eyes filled with tears, she said, ‘Do you know I think we will like this place, just look at the mountains.

Shenanigans: Secret activity, silly or high-spirited behaviour, mischievous.

That’s what author Sharon Dyni, also known as Nana, is known for. She’s a mid-dle-aged wild and crazy woman who will stop at nothing to be with her awesome grandson Eli, but there is one huge problem!

Eli lives in Comox and Nana lives in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. There are roughly 3,600 kilo-metres between them.

Nana wants to be with Eli so badly that she comes up with an epic idea. She is going to swim the ocean out to him!

Now, this may sound wild and crazy, and it is, but how hard could it be? Sadly, there is another gigantic prob-lem here — where’s the ocean?

Every day Eli anx-iously waits to see what kind of shenani-gans Nana is up to by communicating with her through e-mails. Now readers around the world will be able to follow Nana’s adven-tures to find the ocean.

This unique story will let readers see that with deep love, determination, lots of encouragement and the strong bond Nana and Eli share for each other, nothing can keep them apart.

Nana gets herself into some pretty wild and crazy predicaments. As the story unfolds, it’s pretty apparent that

Eli becomes the adult and he has a huge job ahead of him!

Nana’s journey to find the ocean is very challenging to say the least. Eli is very wor-ried about Nana and continues to encourage her to use her brain and to be safe along her journey.

Will she find the ocean? What wild and crazy adventures are waiting for her? Along this incredible journey Eli and Nana learn the best lesson ever!

Sharon is a 56-year-

old proud mother of two beautiful daugh-ters and Nana to Eli. She works as a wait-ress at Husky House

East Restaurant and Truck Stop. Between her family and her job, they are both her life’s passions.

Eli is an amazing young boy who is now 10 years old and is in Grade 5 at Airport Elementary School. He is a true gift to all that know him. He has an amazing sense of humor and he likes to eat adventurous foods. The most adventur-ous so far is a cricket pizza!

Science discovers classroomsThis race amazing for duoShelley Strachan

and Esther Sam-ple are among the Comox Valley resi-dents vying for a spot on the Amazing Race Canada, set to air in the summer of 2013 on CTV.

The race will take competitors on a once-in-a-lifetime adven-ture across Canada, and the team feels they have what it takes to win.

Strachan and Sample are competi-tive martial artists holding red belts in Muay Thai and they are both undefeated in the ring.

They have taken their knowledge and training to the next level and are instruc-tors at Knockout Martial Arts and Fit-ness in Courtenay. As a team, they also competed in the most recent MOMAR race and took first place in their division.

While they clear-ly excel as a team, Strachan and Sam-ple have found just as much success on their own as they have together. Stra-chan has been drawn

towards competitive sports for as long as she can remember, including horseback riding and long-dis-tance running.

Sample is a talent-ed artist and winner of the 24th annual Salmon Conservation Stamp competition.

Both women are married with three children, and hope that if they make it onto the show their children will be inspired to reach for their own dreams. With their competi-tive natures and out-

going personalities, the ladies dubbed Team Knockout plan to give the Amazing Race Canada every-thing they’ve got.

The duo is asking for the help of the community to watch and share their application video, which can be found online at www.you-tube.com/watch?v=zt GgkqQxRZI. Sup-porters can also fol-low the team’s official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/estherandshelley.

THIS COMOX VALLEY duo plans to be in the televised Amazing Race Canada.

Science class at school is about to get an upgrade.

Through the Scien-tists & Innovators in the Schools (SIS) pro-gram administered by Science World, students will have an opportunity to learn from real-world sci-entists and benefit from their first-hand knowledge of science and technology. These scientists will interact with the students and share their advanced knowledge of their field at no cost to the school.

Dr. Darryl Hutch-eon, who has a back-ground in engineering, will visit Courtenay Elementary School this Thursday.

“Schools from all over the province are benefiting greatly from our SIS program,” says Friderike Möller, Sci-ence World program co-ordinator. “We hear back from teachers all the time about how much more engaged

with science their stu-dents are when they actually get to hear from someone who does scientific work every day. It inspires us to really want this program to grow.”

“The SIS program is definitely an unsung hero when it comes to science education in B.C.,” says Bryan Tisdall, president and CEO of Science World. “It encapsulates every-thing Science World’s mission is all about

— making science fun and accessible and working with members of our community to inspire the science and technology leaders of tomorrow.”

The SIS program invites scientists, engi-neers, technologists and technicians to vol-unteer their time and share their expertise with science classes around the province on topics such as health, biotechnology, comput-ing and the environ-

ment. Since its inception in

1989, over one millionstudents have benefitedfrom the SIS program.Using hands-on activi-ties and career-relatedinformation, its volun-teers act as enthusias-tic and knowledgeablerole models who coop-erate with teachersto present an entirelynew approach to thediscovery of science inthe classroom.

Good coffee, a com-fortable seat and some-one interesting to talk to are the prerequisites for visiting any café, even if the conversa-tion is about death.

The Death Café fol-lows the model that was developed by Bernard Crettaz of Switzerland and then took hold in England. The movement is now worldwide.

The concept is s t r a i g h t f o r w a r d enough. People meet to have tea and talk about death for a cou-ple of hours.

Death Cafés are offered with no inten-tion of leading partici-pants to any particular conclusion, product or course of action. The atmosphere is an open and respectful space where people can share experiences of death alongside refresh-ments.

Death Café hap-pens this Friday at the Florence Filberg Cen-tre from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Evergreen Lounge. Please bring a savoury snack to share.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


Death Café opening

THE COMOX VALLEY is one of eight places in B.C. that have St. John Ambulance bike brigades.

Brigades helped to help others

Chefs named for shellfish festival

Safety and service were the watchwords recently when Live to Play Sports was pre-sented with St. John Ambulance’s (SJA’s) BC & Yukon Council Award.

The prestigious accolade was offered in a ceremony cele-brating Live To Play Sports’ contribu-tion of expertise and equipment in support of SJA’s Volunteer Bike Brigades.

“Since 2009, Live To Play Sports has supported St. John

Ambulance by provid-ing bicycle equipment to our bike teams for our various divi-sions throughout the province at a vendor’s price,” said SJA’s Lau-rence Cheng.

Bike brigades are highly trained and well-equipped vol-unteer teams that attend community events offering free first aid services.

“To date, Live To Play Sports has sup-plied 16 sets of gear to St. John Ambulance across the province,”

Cheng said. “This means there are eight bike teams through-out the province which, without the assistance of Live To Play Sports, simply would not be possible.

“They’re special bikes — more like mountain bikes, that are lightweight and durable for carrying 40 to 45 pounds of equipment through crowds that wouldn’t easily accommodate a vehicle,” he added. “And Live To Play Sports has taken that

quality to the next level by outfitting the bikes with such quality equipment and accessories that we can go bouncing down gravel roads, or from grass to pave-ment and over curbs, without breaking or damaging anything.”

As well as the Comox Valley, there are bike teams in Victoria, Tri-Cities, Maple Ridge, Burna-by, Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond.

It was fingers crossed last Thursday, when the Georgia Straight Jazz Society held its first concert on the stage at the Avalanche Bar.

Despite much planning in the preceding days, no one quite knew what the reaction would be to our new venue, after six years at the Elks’ Home. Well, the planning paid off, and a ter-rific crowd turned out to listen to the Anderson Jazz Syndicate play an evening of cool modern jazz.

Whew!And so we look forward with

confidence as we settle into a new stage and atmosphere, with great sound and lighting, cour-tesy of the Avalanche.

Confidence is high on two counts: it’s more than the venue — we have exciting music and great performers drawn from the pool of local musicians who contribute to making Comox Valley the greatest hotbed of live jazz music on Vancouver Island, and one of only a very few in British Columbia.

Take this Thursday for exam-ple — a rare treat of jazz violin when jazz violinist Blaine Dun-away takes the stage, accompa-nied by John Hyde, bass, and Jeff Drummond, guitar.

Where else will you find that kind of music for a modest dona-tion at the door, in a jazz club atmosphere, surrounded by an audience which is not only social and welcoming, but also attend-ing primarily to listen to great jazz, played live?

Dunaway has a long career as a musician, educator, com-poser and conductor. He has per-formed with big bands, including the Tommy Banks Orchestra, Hugh Fraser’s VEJI, and Fred Stride’s jazz orchestra. He has performed with Eartha Kitt, Joe Henderson, Julian Priester, Dave Holland, Celso Machado, Marcus Milagres, Bill Coon, and many others.

The jazz or improvised violin is now his specialty.

Comments gleaned about Blaine’s music include, “Blaine is one of the most phenomenal musicians, able to compose, back up anyone else’s music, and he enjoys great jazz fusion.”

Blaine’s accompanists are no strangers to Georgia Straight Jazz people.

Drummond is a superb gui-tarist, producer/engineer, educa-tor and composer.

After graduating from MRU in Calgary from the Jazz perfor-mance program in the mid ‘90s, Jeff has spent the last 20 years performing, touring, recording and writing music profession-ally.

Hyde has enjoyed a career spanning five decades as a pro-fessional bassist and jazz educa-tor.

His impressive performances include playing with Gary Guth-man and the Calgary Philhar-monic Orchestra.

Since every third Thursday is Comedy Night at the Avalanche Bar, we have had to adapt our performance schedule for the remainder of this season’s cal-endar.

Instead of finishing in mid-June, our season will extend to early July, to accommodate those acts that have been bumped. Keep an eye on the new dates by visiting www.georgiastraight-jazz.com or see us on Facebook.

We still have minor adjust-ments to make as we settle into our new digs, but rest assured: Live jazz lives — and will con-tinue to live in the Comox Val-ley.

TENOR KEN LAVIGNE joins Sarah Hagen for a Mattina Musica concert on March 11 at the Sid Williams Theatre.

‘Voice of liquid gold’ joining Hagen at Sid

Mattina Musica returns to the Sid Williams Theatre on March 11 with celebrated tenor Ken Lavigne.

Co-presented by the Sid Wil-liams Theatre Society and pianist Sarah Hagen, Mattina Musica is series of classical music concerts taking place on select Monday mornings. Each event begins with a pre-concert reception in the Sid lobby.

Lavigne and Hagen are pre-senting a program of Tosti arias, Schubert Lieder, Gershwin songs and are delighted to be joined for one piece by a surprise guest artist.

Described by one New York critic as having “a voice of liquid gold,” Lavigne is a singer, com-poser, communicator and con-summate entertainer.

He made his New York debut on the famed Carnegie Hall stage, accompanied by the New York Pops Orchestra under the baton of Simon Capet. This achievement was a dream come true for the singer, and after hav-ing received three standing ova-tions for his performance in New York, the debut has led to further engagements across North Amer-ica, including exclusive engage-ments with famed L.A. producer David Foster.

Following his 1998 debut in Massenet’s Werther, major roles have followed in Nabuko, La Tra-viata, Cenerentolla and the Bar-ber of Seville with Pacific Opera Victoria, the Portland Opera and the Burnaby Lyric Opera.

Despite Lavigne’s recent branching out to cross-over solo concerts, he is still in great demand as an opera performer, not only in traditional roles such as Spoletta in the Pacific Opera Victoria’s 2005 production of Tosca, but also in new and some-times controversial productions such as Victoria Philharmonic Choir’s 2007 interpretation of Handel’s Samson, presented in a post-war Palestinian setting.

From the Comox Valley, Hagen has been heard in concert halls and on the airwaves to critical acclaim throughout North Amer-ica and Europe.

As well as hosting four recital series in BC, Hagen enjoys a busy and varied concert schedule as both a soloist and collabora-tor.

Highlights of her 2012/2013 season include a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City, a solo recital at Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver, and a Home Routes concert tour in Manitoba and Saskatchewan with cellist Rebecca Wenham.

• • •The final Mattina Musica con-

cert this season will be on April 22 with Lithuanian violist Vaida Rozinskaite.

Coffee and tea is served at 9:45 a.m. and music begins at 10:30. For more information on the Mattina Musica series and other upcoming performances, visit www.sidwilliamstheatre.com or call 250-338-2430.

Join the Sid Wil-liams Theatre Society for a screening of the family comedy Cats & Dogs this Sunday at 3 p.m.

Unknown to humans, a secret war has been raging between cats and dogs for eons, but a fragile truce has long held the order of the animal kingdom in place. Now the balance of power has tipped, as a researcher, Professor Brody (Jeff Goldblum), is about to invent a vaccine that will erase all human allergies to dogs.

This is too much for the autocratic Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes), a white Persian kitty bent on world domina-tion. The Brody home becomes ground zero for the renewed con-flict between feline and canine, with a young Beagle puppy named Lou (Tobey Maguire)

caught in the middle as the new point man for his species’ cause.

This talking-animal action comedy is from Lawrence Guterman, the co-director of Antz (1998).

This screening is sponsored by Puntledge Veterinary Clinic and is a fundraising event for the Sid Williams Theatre Society, a charitable organization dedicated to providing the Comox Valley with access to the perform-ing arts and expanding

cultural horizons. Don’t miss this

screening of Cats & Dogs at the Sid Wil-liams Theatre this Sunday at 3 p.m. in Courtenay. Doors will open at 2 p.m. with admission by donation (a $5 donation is sug-gested). It’s festival seating so come early.

Hagen theatre venue for poets

North Island Col-lege welcomes back award-winning poets Lorna Crozier and Patrick Lane, who will read from their most celebrated works at the Stan H a g e n T h e a t r e on NIC’s C o m o x V a l l e y campus.

C r o -z i e r ’ s latest pub-lication is a volume of prose p o e m s called The Book of Marvels: A C o m p e n -dium of Everyday Things.

She is an Officer of the Order of Canada, a fellow of the Royal S o c i e t y and a Dis-tinguished Professor at the Uni-versity of Victoria as well as the recipient of several awards for poetry, including the Governor-General ’s Award for Poetry, and two honorary doctor-ates for her contri-butions to Canadian literature.

Ursula K. LeGuin of The New York Times Book Review writes about Lorna Crozier, “What a joy to have a volume of selected poems by this marvel-ous Canadian poet, storyteller, truth-teller, visionary.”

Lane is one of Cana-da’s pre-eminent poets, winner of numerous awards, including the Governor General’s Award for Poetry, the Canadian Authors’ Association Award, the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence, and three National Magazine Awards.

“Patrick Lane is our most essential poet: tough, tender, fearless, and beautifully dan-gerous. For decades he has been our guide to darkness, and our provider of unexpect-ed flashes of brilliant, almost blinding light,” writes Jane Urquhart, Canadian novelist and

poet. “Now gathered together in one spot, the poetry of his life enhances and energiz-es us, and takes us to places we would never go on our own. Lane is a true Master.” Lane’s distinguished career spans 50 years and 25 volumes of poetry as well as award-winning books of fiction and non-

f i c t i o n , including Red Dog Red Dog and What the Stones Remember. C r o z i e r and Lane live togeth-er outside of Victoria with their two fine cats.

N o r t h I s l a n d C o l l e g e a ck n o w l -edges the support of the Cana-da Council in present-ing this free public event. The r e a d i n g will begin at 7 p.m. this Thurs-day.

Happy’s Chiefs win Island title

Happy’s Source for Sports Midget Tier 1 Chiefs played hard this past weekend against Nanaimo to win the Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association Midget Tier 1 Championship.

It was a very close series with everything resting on the third game of a best-of-three series. On Saturday, Happy’s Source for Sports players came out in the first period determined to win. It was a fast-paced game with lots of back and forth.

The only goal of the game came at 10:15 in the first period when Hobin Zinck made a pass to Justin Mirabelli who then made a quick pass to Kyle LeB-

lanc as they were breaking across the Nanaimo blue line. LeBlanc charged to the net with a back hand going five hole on the Nanaimo goaltender.

Matt Bowell played an excellent game, stopping all challenges and getting the shutout. Next stop for the Chiefs is Abbotsford for the Provincial Midget Tier 1 tournament on March 17-21.

“The players thank their coaches, Gord Lennox and Stuart Garrood, their spon-sor Happy’s Source for Sports and last but not least manager Michelle Card,” a team spokesperson said.

It was the poten-tial seen in these very young athletes that drew crowds to Mount Washington to par-ticipate in the annual Experience the Podi-um Race hosted by the Mount Washington Ski Club, Feb. 23-24.

Teams rolled into town from Whistler Blackcomb, Grouse, Seymour, Cypress and Manning Park – fill-ing up the mountain accommodation and tearing up the slopes. This event is designed specifically to intro-duce young athletes to ski racing and the podium – and experi-ence the podium they did.

The MWSC ath-letes seemed to shine in every age category with four-year-old Rowan Hughes taking the stage with gold in Kombi, Jump and Sla-lom. Hot on his heels was Markus Djurick-ovic, all of five years

old, with gold in Sla-lom, Speed and Jump and Bronze in the Kombi event.

Other notable results included triple golds for six-year-old Beth Luchies in Kombi, Slalom and Jump and a bronze in Speed.

Local athletes and sisters Brynn and Emilly Johnston were

a force to be reckoned with: gold for both in Slalom and Jump, gold for Emilly in Kombi and for Brynn in Speed. For the boys

Eric Luchies stole the show with his impres-sive 42-foot jump along with Luke Hoefer who shot off the ramp and landed a 40-foot jump.

It was the speed event though that was such a draw. Barrel-ling down the Whis-key Jack steep pitch at wild speeds, the fastest MWSC athlete was Kieran Harley who clocked in at 74 km/hr. There were a host of other amazing result for the MWSC athletes with trips to the podium in various age categories a total of 41 times.

The Isfeld Ice senior girls’ basketball team wound up a very suc-cessful season by fin-ishing third at the Island Championships in Victoria on Feb. 21-23.

They defeated top teams such as Lam-brick Park (South #2) and Ballenas (North #2). This gave them a chance to play Notre Dame (B.C. #9) for the final berth to the Provincials. The game didn’t turn out in their favour, but the team didn’t give up until the final buzzer and the girls could hold their heads high for making

it so far.The Ice began the

season as the under-dog and surprised many with their overall results, which included a second place finish at Mount Doug’s Christmas Tournament, a second place finish at their home tournament, and third place finishes at both the North Island and Island Champion-ships.

(James) Vaughn AndersonFebruary 12, 1935 – February 28, 2013

(James) Vaughn Anderson passed away with dignity and in the presence of loved ones at St. Joseph’s General Hospital on February 28th, 2013. From his modest beginnings near Arthurette, New Brunswick, Vaughn worked hard fi rst as a Steam Engineer with Canadian Pacifi c Railroad and later as a water well driller. Vaughn migrated to the West Coast and fi nally settled in the Comox Valley in 1970. Vaughn ran several successful businesses throughout his life including Atlas Manufacturing in Merville, which produces and markets an ingenious tool that has revolutionized the water well drilling industry. For Vaughn, life was always an adventure where there wasn’t a road that he wouldn’t drive down. He traveled extensively throughout the world for work and the pure pleasure of seeing what was out there and what was next. Vaughn’s greatest strength was his ability to dream and to share that dream with those with wisdom enough to listen. Vaughn is predeceased by his parents James and Annie (Sullivan), sister Marion, and infant daughters Adrienne and Psyche. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Myrna (Yeomans), daughters Lynn Charlton (Terry), Brenda LaTorre (Ron), Laurel Anderson (Wes Sawatsky), Marion Anderson-Goodine (Blair), Emily Wand (Pat) , sons Kenneth (Diana), Paul (Trudy), Jody, stepdaughters Vicki McRae (Rick), and Valerie Burgoyne (Bliss), six sisters, one brother, 23 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. We would like to thank the exceptional staff and caregivers who made his last moments comfortable. A gathering to celebrate Vaughn’s life will take place Friday, March 8, 2013 at 1:00 pm, at Piercy’s Funeral Home in Courtenay, BC. Donations in lieu of fl owers may be made to L’Arche Comox Valley.

“As we walk so swiftly o’er the pathway of life we meet many challenges

Some pain, some strife, and too happy moments of laughter and mirth

Sometimes a feeling of complete rebirthBut everyone strives, be he great or small, for immortality;

remembered by all.”

Love you, miss you, see you,Myrna

Navigate (Powered by NIDES) recently received its own report card, a quality review report conducted by the Ministry of Education.

This quality review process is used in B.C. distributed learning (DL) schools to identify strengths and growth needs so that admin-istrators can better allocate resources and measure how effective-ly their programs are meeting provincial edu-cational goals.

Navigate is recog-nized in the report as a leader in the evolu-tion of blended distrib-uted learning and has shown steady growth in the past three years, not only in enrolment numbers but also in the number of program options available to students.

Among these choices are a home-based K-9 program supported by a weekly day of inter-action called iClass, supports in special edu-cation, and the popu-lar Fine Arts eCademy (FAE) and ENTER pro-grams, which blend dis-tributed learning with face-to face-instruction.

The majority of stu-dents enrolled with Navigate are second-ary students accessing distributed learning courses. Navigate sec-ondary students within SD71 are supported by the Independent Learn-ing Centres (ILCs) and MATRIX (Vanier) pro-grams, which provide a place to learn indepen-dently with qualified teachers available for support.

According to the review report, this sup-

port has resulted in a measurable increase in course completion rates for students in SD71, compared to those who take courses through other distributed learn-ing programs.

Navigate (NIDES) is

a distance educationschool located in theformer Tsolum Schoolbuilding in Courtenayand serves students inschool on VancouverIsland and throughoutB.C.

YOUNG ROYSTON ELEMENTARY students spend some quality time with older students at Cumberland Junior Secondary School.

Following leader funCumberland Junior Secondary

School students hosted all of the kindergarten to Grade 3 students from Royston Elementary on Fri-day.

Follow the Leader is a program developed by the CJS Leadership students under the direction of Jina Taylor.

All of the elementary students chose two activities to attend under the direction of CJS stu-dents.

These included Mad Scientist, Lil Chef, Roaring Rockets, Bath Bombs, Bird Houses, Beauty Queens and Clay Creation.

Taylor was delighted with the morning’s events.

“Most of the students were involved with helping the elemen-tary students and it is a great way both to introduce the younger students to our school as well as strengthen the link between us. It gives our students a chance to be role models as well as have fun with the elementary students.”

Cumberland Junior will host the Cumberland Elementary stu-dents after spring break and look forward to another fun morning.

Canuck taxes not bad idea

If you already own, or are thinking about buying, a U.S. prop-erty, you’ll have lots of Canuck company.

According to the U.S.-based Nat ional A s s o -ciation of Realtors, C a n a d i -ans are the larg-est group of foreign buyers in the U.S., a c c o u n t -ing for 24 per cent of inter-n a t i o n a l sales in 2012.

So, you’re mak-ing a popular choice when you purchase a U.S. property — and when it comes to paying the bills that come with it, being taxed like a Cana-dian is a good thing. Here’s why.

• Know your ‘visit limits’

Most people think that if their U.S. stay is shorter than six months, they won’t have to file a U.S. tax return. But the formula is more com-plicated than that: When you reside in the U.S. for more than 182 days in the cur-rent year or exceed 182 days in combina-tion with the current year, one-third of the days in the preceding year, and one-sixth of the days in the sec-ond preceding year, under most circum-stances, you will be required to file a U.S. tax return.

You may be able to avoid being deemed a U.S. ‘resident’ for tax purposes by filing a Closer Connection Exemption for Aliens (IRS form 8840) which provides proof that your economic and social ties (such as the location of your permanent home,

family and business activities, banking relationships, and so on) are more signifi-cant to Canada than to the U.S.

• Rent or not?If you intend to

rent your property, you will be required to file a U.S. tax return and be subject to a 30 per cent with-holding tax. The net rental income is also subject to Canadian tax less a Foreign Tax Credit for taxes paid in the U.S.

• When you sellCanadians are

taxed on their world-w i d e i n c o m e — which m e a n s t h a t if you decide to sell your U . S . property, the sale must be reported on your C a n a -dian tax r e t u r n and on a U.S. tax return.

The full amount of any capital gain is taxable in the U.S. and you might also have to pay state tax, depending on where your property is located.

If the sale price is north of $300,000, the U.S. Internal Rev-enue Service (IRS) imposes a withhold-ing tax of 10 per cent on the gross amount of the sale. To pre-vent double taxation, Canada allows a For-eign Tax Credit up to the amount of U.S. tax paid.

• Gift and estate taxes and probate are different in the U.S. and there may be Canadian taxation, as well, which could complicate passing your property to your kids.

Taxes are only one of the many things you need to consid-er when you own a cross-border prop-erty. That’s why you should talk to your professional adviser about the best own-ership strategies for you.

ASK ABOUT OUR

SPRING SPECIAL


The year was 1884. Two brothers, John and Lewis Marocchi, together with Lewis’ wife Rosa, left the province of Tyrol in Austria to immigrate to Canada. The Maroc-chis were bakers and decided to settle in Cumberland, where they opened the first bakery in the region, Marocchi Bros., as well as a grocery store and café. The bakery oper-ated until the brothers sold it in 1938. While running the business, the family distributed tokens and small cou-pons that read Good for One Loaf of Bread.

In March, 2008, Tina and Jim Willard-Stepan decided to once again meet the grocery needs of a revitalized Cumberland by open-ing Seeds Food Mar-ket. In January, 2013, while renovating a 1918 Cumberland home, a family friend happened to find one of the original coupons from Marocchis inside of one of the walls of the structure. As Seeds celebrates its fifth year of operation, they will revive this deal by printing and distribut-ing Good for One Loaf of Bread tickets in and around Cumberland.

“Tickets will be hid-den in the Community Forest, in random cop-ies of the Currently

Cumberland paper, in mailboxes, on commu-nity boards and else-where. Fifty loaves in all will be given away in celebration of the history of downtown business in Cumber-land, and Seeds’ mile-stone anniversary.”

says Willard-Stepan. “We feel fortunate

about the support we receive from the com-munity and wanted a fun way to say thank you,” adds Seeds staff-

er Melissa Camp.For daily hints about

In his letter he states that a secondary school in this district “hasn’t received the message No Bullying Allowed.” He then went on to describe some features that, while not quite accurate, make Highland Secondary the obvious candidate.

While I will not dignify his diatribe by debating whether behaviour on the red, yellow, or blue stairs contributes to bully-ing, I feel that it is incumbent

upon me, as chairman of the Highland Secondary School Par-ent Advisory Committee (PAC), to note that none of Mr. Baird’s concerns have ever been voiced to our committee in the years that I have been a member of the PAC.

The PAC in our school, or indeed any school in the district, is designed to be the voice of parents within the school sys-tem. I would have thought that the managing director of Street Smart Kidz would be aware of this, and would refer some of the “over 500 e-mails and calls” to our PAC, but not one came our

way!Mr. Baird, and all parents

or guardians, might I suggest that in the future if you have concerns or comments regarding some issue at your child’s school you should contact your Parent Advisory Committee. Informa-tion is generally available on school websites, or directly from the office. Please attend one of our regular meetings.

At Highland School they are usually held on the third Monday of the month. Come out and make a positive contribution, that’s what PAC’s are about.

Scott Park, Comox

You may not recognize the name Martin Trem-blay, but you probably remember his claim to fame.

Tremblay is the Vancouver peewee hockey coach arrested last year for deliberately tripping a pre-teen opposing player in a handshake lineup, hurting the child’s wrist enough that he required a cast.

Tremblay’s behaviour is hardly typical of the type of person coaching hockey and other sports in our community.

But as a recent incident at Kerry Park demon-strated, coach rage is not something completely foreign to Cowichan’s rinks, courts and fields.

And it should be. It must be.It starts with the people in charge: the volun-

teers running the league, the parents paying the bills and the umbrella associations overseeing sport at a provincial and national level.

These are the people who must cultivate a cul-ture of zero-tolerance for this kind of behaviour, a culture that insists coaches behave like role mod-els or they have no place being on the sideline, or behind the bench.

The price for stepping over that line should be dismissal.

There are all kinds of reasons for being frus-trated with missed calls. Few justify anger and certainly none justify verbal or physical abuse of players or officials — men, women and children who, by and large, are doing the best they can to make the game fair and fun.

Judge Patrick Chen gave Tremblay 15 days in a correctional facility as “a signal to other parents heavily involved in the sporting activities of their children that they must be seen as models of good and acceptable behaviour.”

He’s got it right.Coaches are given a trust.Their job is not to win games. Their job is to

instill values like teamwork, effort, sportsman-ship and fair play.

Their value is not measured on any scoreboard, but in the number of solid adult citizens they help produce for the community.

Claim is ‘absolutely astonishing’Dear editor,In last Wednesday’s issue you

published a letter from Steven Baird, which is offensive and insulting to every student, teach-er, and administrator at one of SD71’s schools.

Mr. Baird claims that his organization (which has noth-ing to do with the public schools whatsoever) has received hun-dreds of letters complaining about student behaviour at the school.

Given that the principal of the school has received one, ONE,

letter of concern, which has been dealt with, and that the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) has received no expressions of concern whatsoever, this is an absolutely astonishing claim.

If there are in fact any par-ents with concerns about the school, I would urge them to express these concerns to some-one who can and will deal with them promptly and effectively, that is the school principal.

Ms. Swanson, the principal, is both very approachable and tireless in her efforts to ensure

the best possible school environ-ment for all her students.

Should parents prefer to deal with other parents, a letter to the PAC (c/o the school) is also effective. Additionally, I ([email protected]), also consider it my responsibility as a school trustee to ensure that parent concerns are heard and responded to quickly and appro-priately.

What is Marty Douglas thinking of?Dear editor,I read Marty Douglas’ item

in the Feb. 27 issue of Progress. He was writing about real estate values.

I was stunned to hear my friend Marty state that the Raven Coal was going to be good for local real estate. He is so wrong, and I would like you to tell him so.

The reasons to oppose Raven

are obvious.One, the mine would spell

disaster for our local shellfish industry.

Two, the Raven mine would certainly wipe out local real estate sales and squash our local reputation as a desirable place to live and to retire.

Three, air quality would be adversely affected, as under-ground gases are uncontrollably

released.Fourth, the quality of coal

mined is low-grade and toxic when it is mined.

What is Marty thinking of? He’s usually so articulate and skilled in his words, but he has crashed and burned this time.

Marty is wrong, so wrong he is not to be forgiven. No excuses.

Vere Shute,Fanny Bay

Dear editor,Every time I turn

on the TV or open a newspaper these days I’m seeing discussions of civil disobedience.

The Keystone Pipe-line, the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline, Prime Minis-ter Harper’s omnibus bills C-35 and C-48, the Idle No More move-ment, the Raven Coal Mine battle here in the Comox Valley — they all mention civil dis-obedience — usually as a last, but looming resort.

Sierra Club USA stated that for the first time in its 122-year history it was going to engage in civil dis-obedience to oppose the Keystone Pipeline — and it did several weeks ago. Sierra Club Canada indicated it was considering the same option.

Here in the Comox Valley, Sierra Club Comox Valley, the Council of Canadians, the Friends of Strath-cona, Comox Valley Water Watch and a

dozen other groups that are part of the Peaceful Direct Action Coalition have spon-sored two workshops on civil disobedience and will probably orga-nize more of them.

For many of us, get-ting our minds around the justification for civil disobedience is not easy. We need to do some serious refram-ing.

When I was a child, my mother told us kids, “If you get lost or someone is bother-ing you go and find a policeman and tell him what’s wrong.”

That was my first awareness of some-thing that I eventually recognized as respect for authority and the rule of law.

If we didn’t have it, our society would sink into chaos and lawless-ness.

And that viewpoint stayed with me for most of my life, even when the people in power did not share my political views. As the man said, “These

are the folks that other people elected so they call the shots.”

So for me and for many others, commit-ting acts of civil dis-obedience went against the grain. Respect for duly elected authority was almost part of my DNA.

But, as I grew older I began to reframe — to rethink the whole nature of civil disobe-dience. It occurred to me that my family and I have a right to clean water, clear air, good food, a suitable home, and a safe place to live.

We didn’t get these rights from the Cana-dian constitution nor the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We didn’t get them from the prime minster of Canada or the premier of British Columbia. My rights, my neigh-bour’s rights, and the rights of all living things come from our very existence. They are gifts of nature or, as many First Nations often put it, gifts of the

Creator. Thus there is a rule

of law based not on human laws but upon the law of nature. The prime directive of all human laws should be to protect natural laws. If we don’t protect the laws of nature and its ecosystems which ensure our survival, we are doomed — and we have to do some-thing about it.

So, when we engage in peaceful direct action as a last resort, we are not the ones breaking the law. We are trying

to protect natural lawsthat ensure our sur-vival as a species. It isthose who have intro-duced laws that violateour natural rights thatare breaking the law.

Reframing civil dis-obedience this wayremoves the guilt feel-ings and motivatesaction. It has workedfor me and it mightwork for many of uswho sense that ournatural rights are being taken away fromus.

Hyperbole needs reaction

Dear editor,One cannot help but note the number of

scathing anti-Harper letters lately such as, “Yes, we are living in a dictatorship” or “PM’s more like Chinese.”

Such collective hyperbole invites a response and I would like to offer a moment of truth to the anti-Harper letter writers. They are apparently unaware we enjoy parliamentary-style government within a constitutional monarchy and they will have an opportunity in 2015 to change our leader and the govern-ment.

They might also consider a refresher course in basic civics or consider spending a year or two in a country like Iran or North Korea where they would have an opportunity to study tyranny and dictatorship more closely and thus be able to comprehend the true defi-nition of such terminology.

In fact, many Canadians support Mr. Harper’s government and generally, if not categorically support his legislation which they believe is intended to make Canada a more economically, socially and environmen-tally sustainable nation.

Many citizens believe the path previous governments had established for Canada were leading us into a web of unsustainable economic, social and environmental dysfunc-tion. The jury is still out for this government, but its supporters hope it is at least on the right path.

In a democracy, we all have a say as to how our country’s values and goals should be defined.

W. Hunter,Courtenay

Huge admission by BC Liberals

Dear editor,Whether or not

selling off a whack of assets and pointing to possible new rev-enue from exploiting resources that will accelerate climate change can be accu-rately called “bal-anced” — what the BC Liberal budget does, indisputably, is bury forever that old — all-too-often-touted — fallacy that tax cuts designed to benefit the highest income earn-ers and biggest cor-porations create jobs, stimulate the economy and rejuvenate gov-ernment revenues.

The BC Liberals began their stay in office with massive tax cuts that differen-tially benefited B.C.’s wealthiest citizens and most profitable corporations which would have been aug-mented by the HST if angry citizens hadn’t surprised the Liberal’s corporate advisers with a successful across-the-province referendum against the tax.

In the limp hope of balancing their gifts to the wealthy

from the provincial treasury, the Liber-als cut protection for children, our justice system, environmen-tal protection, health and education while tearing up collective agreements that they had signed into bind-ing contracts.

Now the new 2013 budget says none of that worked — the jobs, the investment, the revenues didn’t work and our only hope of paying for the devastating impact of pandering after wealthy interests with deficit after deficit is to sell off our assets and dream about the possibility of revenues from new sources of natural gas.

They’re clearly throwing in the towel on the myth of corpo-rate and high-income tax cuts as an invest-ment and job creation strategy.

This is a huge admission — one we will not want to forget any time soon. Unfor-tunately, we will hear it again; hopefully not in the next four years!

Norm Reynolds,Courtenay

Rounding up just gubernmentthunkDear editor,I’m still a bit con-

fused on the penny thing. I forgot about it until a nice cashier asked if I wanted my pennies. The great rounding of ’13 had begun. After OWS, is it the one-cent revenge, or the revenge of the one per cent?

So it costs a penny and a half to make, is this really a good enough reason to decide, after hundreds of years in the culture, to just kill it?

Money is like buy-ing a car. You don’t go, “Hey, I just spent $20,000 to get a new car to drive for a day.”

Money gets used over and over, and its cost is spread out over how many times it is used.

But that’s not what really has me going. It’s the rounding up. This is classic gubern-mentthunk.

The government and the banks say — ‘Everybody round up!’ ‘It all evens out!’ ‘It will be way sim-pler!”

OK, so all the stores play ball and round up their products to a nickel or a dime. But when you put the tax on, it is the tax that creates the oddball number, the extra pen-nies, which you may

recall have now been banned by the govern-ment.

These are now ghost pennies that can only go to the gov-ernment.

When you round up or round down, the ratio is always going to favour the higher number over time. Two down, three up.

Who keeps those extra pennies? Not

you.Of course in today’s

society, nobody knows addition or subtraction

anymore, we have machines for that. And instead of being simpler, it becomes more com-plicated, but being good consumers, we just go along with what we are told and

swipe our card.A wise business

guy I know, a guy who

had a multi-million-dollar manufacturing operation here in the Valley, who was forced to move because our economic develop-ment gurus and city councillors had used up all the light indus-trial land for shopping malls and couldn’t help him expand because he was not a big box chain store or a real estate developer, said something pretty profound regarding his business. “It’s all down to pennies.”

Well readers? A nickel for your thoughts.

Andy MacDougall,Royston

How to define muzzling?Dear editor,The many responses on the topic

of muzzled scientists illustrate confusion between “occupation” and “position.”

A scientist is just another occu-pation or trade associated with a type of training, just as is dentist, plumber, teacher or accountant. Unless their employment is defined by a “position” that entitles that individual to be the spokesper-son for an employer, they have no inherent right to publish work in their own name.

However, neither are they muz-zled.

As an individual, they can com-municate any issue of concern in

innumerable ways, including an always-receptive media. And why should concern for muzzling be limited to scientists, for editors and secretaries reading and copying work could equally stumble upon findings predicting disaster?

As a retired scientist and engi-neer, I suggest what many are really seeking is the opportunity for personal glory associated with what they perceive as the startling rev-elations in their findings.

If they really believe truth and potential harm is being hidden, they need only have the courage to stand up and be specific.

David A. Kelly,Courtenay

It’s time to ‘reframe’ civil disobedience

Dear editor,Dog defender Pat

Newson has inadver-tently made a com-pelling argument in favour of having dan-gerous dogs removed.

She refers to, “Those of us with dogs — any of whom might escape their yards at some point, get in a dogfight, chase and even harm a cat, or even chase livestock.” She calls this “all nor-mal dog behaviour.” (Record, March 1).

“Harm” is a euphe-mism that encom-passes anything from biting to mauling, and as she says, dogs get loose, and a victim might just as easily be a parent’s pre-schooler as someone’s pet cat.

It is hoped not all dog owners are so com-

placent about a neigh-bour’s pet being killed in a display of what Newson calls “normal dog behaviour.”

That’s exactly why we need laws — to

control animals when their owners can’t. It’s ludicrous to say dog owners live in a “state of terror” as a result.

Thanks to the CVRD, SPCA, and

Judge R. Sutton, all of whom gave the dog its day in court, for making public safety their first concern. A test case may be dif-ficult, but necessary

in the public interest. With practice they can refine their methodol-ogy.

They should con-tinue to protect the public, and not be dis-

tracted by the flurry of overwrought letters sent to local media from one individual.

Reasonable people understand the need for dangerous dog

legislation. The legal system works better than the misguided good intentions of a confused dog lover.

Argument was made for removing dangerous dogs

Something is wrong

Dear editor,There were many

great letters writ-ten in defence of the local dogs Chum and Champ.

My hat goes off to Pat Newson, who was able to put many of our thoughts into words.

Most of us do not have the financial resources to fight the Comox Valley Regional District, so if the CVRD was to impound your pet for whatever reason, say, because of a complaint from an unhappy neighbour, it could very well be destroyed. There is something very wrong about this.

I also find it deeply disturbing that the CVRD found it neces-sary to hire, at the expense of the public, a lawyer from outside our district whose biggest claim to fame happened to be pros-ecuting people’s pets. This is a great wrong that must be righted.

Darlene Arsenault,Comox Valley

Don’t waste our dollars

Dear editor,The next time

neighbours have a disagreement about whose dog did what to whom, the regional district should tell them to go to a lawyer.

It is ridiculous that taxpayers’ dollars should be spent taking such a matter through the courts.
