Fire captain celebrates 35 yearsComox Fire Rescue Captain Bill Windram

has recently completed 35 years of service. Windram joined the

department in 1981 as a 30-year-old.

He has been and still is a huge part of the fire depart-ment. He has responded to more than 5,000 emergency incidents and assisted the department and community in so many ways.

“I am very proud of Bill,” said Chief Gord Schreiner.

“I have served beside him for his entire fire service career. He has been a good friend and great mentor, and positive role model for others to follow. He is the type of guy who is always helping others. He continues to impress me with his positive attitude and willingness to assist us in the many things we do.”

Comox Fire Rescue has nine members with 20 years or more of fire service.

Blaney settling into MP lifeLindsay ChungBlack Press

It’s been two months since Rachel Blaney was officially sworn in as the NDP MP for North Island-Powell River, and it’s been a busy time of connecting and learning.

“It still feels like an incredible honour,” she said in a recent phone interview from her office in Ottawa. “I’m so happy to be here representing North Island-Powell River.”

Blaney is one of 136 first-time MPs elected this past October, and she has been hard at work learning to work in Parliament and learning about her riding.

Blaney says “getting to know the riding in a new way” and meeting and connecting with people here is her priority right now. She expects it will probably take her about a year to meet all the people she would like to meet, and she has been busy travel-ling around the riding when she isn’t in Ottawa. Last month, for example, she had a tour of CFB Comox, visited the Kuterra land-raised salmon farm near Port McNeill, met with members of the Mt. Waddington Regional Dis-trict and met with the ‘Namgis First Nation in Alert Bay.

When Blaney isn’t working in

Ottawa, she hopes to connect with as many people in the riding as she can so they can have discussions about local issues and create relationships.

“For me, my goal is to meet with some of the major stake-holders across the riding,” she said. “A lot of orga-nizations and businesses have gotten ahold of me to say they want to meet with me.

“There are so many dif-ferent groups and stake-holders around the riding, and I’m getting out there to talk to them, introduce myself as the new MP and make sure we can have that relationship so that we can work togeth-er.”

Blaney and her team are working on setting up an office in Camp-bell River, which she will share with North Island MLA Claire Trevena.

When it comes to issues to focus on, Blaney says she has heard a lot of concern from her constituents about Canada Post and mail delivery service, particularly with the winter weather.

Blaney says another “huge con-cern” she has heard in the riding is

around jobs and how the federal gov-ernment will play a part in address-ing concerns around employment.

Infrastructure is another big topic.“I heard a lot from communities

and regional districts about infrastructure needs in communities,” she said. “I am Deputy Critic for Infrastructure and Communities, so that has helped me develop an understanding of the needs we’ll be discussing around infrastructure in the next four years.”

Blaney said it is an incredible honour to walk into the House of Com-mons and sit in one of those chairs. She said she

feels lucky to be able to meet with so many people in Parliament and she feels people working there have been very supportive.

“There’s a lot to learn,” she said. “It’s largely been very supportive and positive. Funnily, on a personal note, the one thing I never thought of is I’d have to set up a new home in Ottawa. I think out of anything, that sur-prised me. I was very much expecting the hard work of learning how to work in Parliament.”

BC Lions’ receiver Shawn Gore poses for a photo with Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School students Aimee Brucker and Douglas Lightfoot. As part of the CFL club’s B.C.-wide tour, Gore and teammate Rolly Lumbala were in the Comox Valley last week to present the team’s Be More Than A Bystander program. The program explains how to speak up and how to communicate that violence and abuse toward girls and women is not acceptable. The Lions’ duo also visited Highland and G.P. Vanier.

Following the Christmas season, donations to the food bank tend to go down slightly.

The Comox Valley Food Bank has yet to feel the brunt of the new year, however.

“Donations have been pretty good so far,” says Jeff Hampton, president of Comox Valley Food Bank. “It’s additionally really heavy in December and then drops off, but it’s been sur-prisingly good.”

The economy, specifically the state of the Canadian dollar, has not helped the cause. The rise in food prices, especially produce, has caused more people to turn to the food bank for help.

“I have definitely noticed that it’s getting busier, more and more people that I either haven’t seen before or that haven’t used the food bank in quite a while,” said Hampton. “So

I’m sort of seeing a resurgence of people who haven’t needed it in the past.”

While the Comox Valley Food Bank passed out 831 bags of food and supplies this January, slightly down from the 929 bags last January, this month was off to an ominous start.

On Feb. 4 the food bank gave out 362 bags in a single day.

Despite the amount of food being donated to and supplied by the food bank, there is a need for personal hygiene products. This includes shampoo, toothpaste, soap and more.

***The Comox Valley Food Bank also passed

along the following note of thanks:“Thank you to the dedicated Comox Valley

Food Bank volunteers who worked tirelessly over the holidays. We rely on your hard work and appreciate you immensely!

“And thanks to Comox Valley Record staff who have volunteered their time to help at the food bank over Christmas and into this new year, especially to Susan Granberg who orga-nized this effort.”

Food bank support steady, but usage up in new year

Approximately every six days a woman is killed by her intimate partner in Canada. Half of all women in this country have experienced at least one incident of sexual or physical violence since the age of 16. According to these numbers, there are approximately 15,000 women and girls liv-ing in the Comox Valley who have expe-rienced gendered vio-lence.

There is a high need for response ser-vices in the communi-ty. Last year the local transition house ran at or over capacity 302 out of 365 nights.

Although all women and girls are at risk, indigenous women are assaulted at three times the rate of other women and are eight times more likely to be killed by an intimate partner — deeply troubling and absolutely unac-ceptable numbers.

Community mem-bers will be gather-

ing at Simms Park in Courtenay on Feb. 14 from noon — 2 p.m. to honour missing and

murdered indigenous women with a memo-rial walk, followed by dancing, to rise and

stand up to end vio-lence against women and girls. Everyone is invited to attend.

The local branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island is offering two new programs this year.

The Adventure Club, for children eight to 12 years, is slated to begin March 1 at Aspen Park Elementary in Comox.

The program will be based out of the multi-purpose room but will operate largely in the community. The idea is to offer social and cultural activities that pique the interest of children who have reached an age where they are pursuing their own interests.

“It’s an out and about program,” said Kelly Barnie, director of sales, marketing and com-

munications. “This is the crux of the Adventure Club, is getting out and making every day a new adventure with things that maybe they haven’t done before, or haven’t thought they might like, but it’s all here in our community.”

Soon to be launched is a teen entrepreneur-ship program for 12- to 18-year-olds, which will operate at 243 Fourth St. in Courtenay.

The program connects youth with business-es, where they will participate in activities and learn about building a plan, marketing and other aspects of running a business.

“At the end, the culmination is a Dragon’s Den-style presentation,” Barnie said, noting the winner will open up shop at the front of the Fourth Street office. “It’s providing another way for kids to not have to leave this commu-nity.”

A high-profile extension to The Ber-wick on Comox Avenue was given third reading at Wednesday’s Comox council meeting.

The addition - which would be five floors to match the existing rooftop lounge - includes 34 suites, a larger din-ing room bistro, the-atre, games room, and an ambulance garage, lounge and shower area for paramedics.

Since the first pre-sentation by repre-sentatives of Berwick Retirements Communities to council last September to the public hearing last month, community members were split on the project.

Many - including those from the Garry Oak Preservation Committee - noted while they support the economic opportunities the development brings, they asked council to consider one out of three Garry Oak trees located on the property at 1666 Comox Ave. are slated to be cut down for the extension.

Coun. Barbara Price said it is always difficult when features such as the tress are involved.

“I will be supporting this knowing the applicant and the architect have

gone back to the drawing board and have made changes. I think the ambu-lance station will be a good addition.”

She added public concern was raised over the location of the station, but noted in fact there is an ambulance currently stationed in downtown Comox during the day.

Coun. Hugh MacKinnon agreed, and explained the addition is “a perfect example of compromise,” and added the developers addressed the issue of shade and height following feedback from their initial proposal.

“I’d like to look at the doughnut, not the hole.”

Third reading for Comox Zoning Amendment Bylaw no. 1825 and Comox Phased Develop-ment Agreement Authorizing Bylaw No. 1826 was passed

unanimously, with the exception of Coun. Russ Arnott who was not pres-ent.

• • •In hopes of allowing residents to ask

questions of staff and understand the redesign, Price brought forth a motion Wednesday asking council for a second open house for the redesign of the Robb Road project.

She noted having another open house that includes a public presen-tation would show the Town’s com-mitment to being communicative and transparent.

In December, community members told council the Robb Avenue Com-

munity Group felt there have been significant barriers to the major infra-structure project slated to begin its first phase in 2016.

Earlier this month, Derek Jensen of McElhanney Consulting Services (whom the town commissioned to pro-vide engineering services) told council more than 60 public comments were received and many design changes were made based on public input.

MacKinnon reiterated Town CAO Richard Kanigan’s suggestion from last meeting to fold the open house presentation into an open house the Town has set for spring for their gen-eral capital projects.

Coun. Ken Grant added an issue with having a second open house is cost.

“McElhanney will not come for free, and we have to consider our staff time too.”

He told council there have been six submissions from members of the pub-lic since the last presentation, four of which to say thank you.

“It’s now time to take the recommen-dations of staff and move it into gear.”

Ives reminded council Robb Road residents received an email last week with a presentation on the project.

“My concern is not only the cost, but the expectations (of a second open house). We’re not likely going to be adding things people would like to see, and I don’t think there’s any mystery in what we’re proposing.”

A friendly amendment was made to the motion to have a presentation at a larger open house in April, which passed unanimously.

Editorial

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s glib response on his Liberal cabinet’s equal gender representation is being

put to the test with the passage of a motion to legislate pay equity between men and women in Canada.

That motion, put forward on Opposition Day by Sheila Malcolmson, rookie MP for Nanaimo-Ladysmith, calls on the Liberal government to do everything in its power to tackle the wage gap between men and women in Canada. It passed with the sup-port of the governing party, which agreed to recognize equal pay for equal work as a human right and strike a task force to develop a plan to legislate pay equity in the workplace.

In Canada, women still make on average 23 per cent less than their male counter-parts – less still if that woman is indigenous, a minority, or living with a disability. Can-ada ranks 30th out of 34 countries in the OECD when it comes to pay equity.

Quite frankly, in a developed nation, which recognizes a woman’s right to partic-ipate actively in all levels of society, that’s unacceptable.

The government’s acknowledgement of this is one step in the right direction to end-ing wage discrimination in the workplace and alleviating some of the issues of poverty women are facing in this country.

How effective legislation to correct the problem in the private sector will be remains to be seen. But the federal government can show leadership by legislating pay equity for its own employees – it’s a bit surprising to learn it doesn’t already – with the hope that it creates a standard that will translate to corporations, industry and business across the country.

Justin Trudeau drew heaps of praise when he deadpanned “because it’s 2015” in response to the question of why he went with gender equality in his cabin.

It’s now 2016 Mr. Trudeau. It’s high time to ensure that no woman should be paid less than the male colleagues she works along-side.

Real pay equity for women is long overdue

After 20 years of representing B.C. coastal First Nations to negotiate what U.S.-directed activists labeled the Great Bear Rainforest agreement, a weary Dallas Smith expressed his relief and frustration.

At a ceremony to sign the final agreement in Vancouver last week, Smith, president of the Nanwakolas Council of remote Central Coast com-munities like Bella Bella, joked that he’s finally out of a job. Then he got serious.

“My communities still aren’t better places to live yet,” he said. But the land use agreement with the prov-ince and forest companies over a vast coastal area up to the Alaska border means the years ahead will be better.

He said when he started it was like being caught in a divorce between the B.C. forest industry and international environmental groups. Dutch-based Greenpeace, its California offshoot ForestEthics and others moved on from their Clayoquot Sound battle to the B.C. coast, looking to continue the blockades against logging.

“It’s the First Nations of the Coast who stood up and said ‘no, this is how it’s going to work’,” Smith said.

How it’s going to work is that log-ging will continue on 550,000 hect-ares of coastal forest, with a greater share for First Nations, and with 85 per cent of the region preserved after a century of logging that began with sailing ships.

Aside from a few diehards who are either paid to protest or can’t get past issuing demands, B.C. aboriginal people have grown tired of being used as props in global de-marketing cam-paigns directed from San Francisco or Amsterdam. The protesters’ tactic of organizing customer boycotts that damage far-away economies might be good for international fundraising, but it’s bad for poor people.

Formally begun 10 years ago with $30 million from Ottawa, $30 million from B.C. and $60 million from a group of wealthy U.S. family founda-tions with a larger anti-development agenda, the land use plan remains under attack.

Among the many protest outfits is Pacific Wild, which has specialized in Great Bear Rainforest campaigns and now needs a new enemy. Their credibility was demonstrated recently when potty-mouthed U.S. pop star Miley Cyrus decided to speak out against B.C.’s wolf kill.

Typical of celebrities, Cyrus had no idea about the struggle to preserve dwindling herds of mountain caribou. She barely knows where B.C. is, a fact made plain when Pacific Wild toured her around the North Coast, far from the Kootenay and South

Peace regions where the wolves in question actually roam.

Cyrus’s handlers spoon-fed video and statements to urban media, who were so anxious to exploit her global popularity that they played down the fact she was at the wrong end of the province, spouting nonsense.

After periodically attacking their own B.C. agreement as inadequate, Greenpeace and ForestEthics have moved on to what they call the “bore-al forest,” which we like to call north-ern Canada. The same bully tactics with forest products customers and producers have been featured.

This time, a Quebec company that signed an accord in 2010 is suing Greenpeace for “defamation, mali-cious falsehood and intentional inter-ference in economic relations.”

Aboriginal companies on the B.C. coast will continue to log, including areas of old-growth forest and sec-ondary growth. They will continue to export logs as economics dictate. They will continue to harvest ani-mals, including grizzly bears.

And, I expect, they will continue to be subjected to attempts to supervise and direct them by members of urban society’s new religion, environmen-talism.

The leaders of this movement don’t like peace. It’s bad for their business.

Stop BC Hydro’s plans to spray pesticides

Dear editor,BC Hydro recently put

British Columbians on notice that they’ve been given a licence to spray 2.4 Dinitro-phenyl and other herbicides throughout B.C., and the Comox Valley is on their list. 2.4D, by the way, is a well documented and powerful carcinogen.

I had just finished reading about a new study in Japan that discovered a pineap-ple pesticide (heptachlor) has found its way into the Hawaiian milk supply and men who drink it are more likely to develop Parkinson’s than other population groups. This pesticide has been taken off the market but is obvious-ly still causing neurological damage. And now? We read that BC Hydro has permis-sion to spray, over the next five years, some dangerous chemicals and the Comox Valley is to be a part of their program.

Why do we care? We lived in a rural area in the Alber-ta foothills for 20 years in the mid-70s. Without any warning, Trans Alta heavily sprayed our ditches to con-trol vegetation that might eventually reach overhead lines. (Given the growth rate in Alberta that might have taken a half century or more to happen!) An angry response from our community seemed to stop the spraying - at least for awhile. Dioxin was one of the ingredients in their spray, a chemical used in Agent Orange which was used as a defoliant during wars.

Our vegetable garden was unusable after that, and the ditches, which were a bounti-ful source of wild raspberries and strawberries, were black for years. There were many areas in Canada (Gagetown and Ontario) sprayed during the mid-70s and the devas-tating fallout for the people exposed compares to what we’re suffering in our family. Our older daughter has MS and our younger daughter has early-onset Parkinson’s. Our older daughter worked in a high school with kids at risk and developmental differences and loved her job, and our younger was a daycare worker who is now in a care home in the Valley. Neither will ever work again,

enjoy the sports they were passionate about or experi-ence a normal social life.

The lives of so many people have been destroyed by the spraying of pesticides to con-trol vegetation, and we hope that you’ll do everything you can to stop the spraying.

To read more on what’s happening in Canada in regard to court cases regard-ing pesticide damage and other relevant material please Google these websites. We don’t ever want others to go through what our family has suffered.

Who is paying for the hospital parking lot?

Dear editor,I am curious as to who is

paying for the new hospital’s parking lot. At St. Joe’s in Comox, where they turned control of the parking lot over to a private company, the hospital is only getting 10 per cent of the parking revenues. I hope that British Columbia taxpayers are not footing the bill, especially if the same arrangement stands for the new hospital. If it does, then the private company should be paying 90 per cent of the construction costs.

Walbran columnist ‘pig-biting mad’

Dear editor,I just finished reading Tom

Fletcher’s B.C. Views column Avatar Sequel Bombs in Wal-bran (Jan. 12 Record) and I’m left with two questions.

My first question: did Fletcher used to ghost-write the Ed Anger columns that appeared in the Weekly World News? If so, he was much funnier when he was “pig-bit-ing mad” about immigrants, vegetarians or people who speak languages he can’t understand.

My second question: does Fletcher know where 20 per cent of the Earth’s oxygen comes from? (Hint, it is not produced by the logging industry.)

Maybe somebody could send him a memo informing him that trees produce oxy-

gen and it’s kind of, um, you know, important and stuff. Trees do more than that, but we’ll keep it simple to start.

I’m going to give our new PM a chance

Dear editor,It is amusing to read let-

ters reiterating the same tired, ideological rhetoric used by the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC). How soon they forgot why 68 per cent of Canadians rejected this negative approach including divisive politics, fear monger-ing and constant bashing of Justin Trudeau during, and in CPC ads, prior to the election.

On Oct. 19, 2015 Canadi-ans handed the Liberal Party of Canada (LBC) a comfort-able majority, endorsing their program for real change and providing them a broad man-date with representation in all 10 provinces and three territories. It was a surpris-ing victory under a young, dynamic, charismatic leader. Conservatives underestimat-ed his strength, intelligence and skills.

Prime Minister Trudeau has represented Canada well at numerous international business and political meet-ings such as G20, APEX, Commonwealth, climate change and world economy, while at the same time open-ing parliament. The new PM has balanced the federal gov-ernment with an equal num-ber of qualified male/female cabinet ministers, reflecting the face of Canadians.

He also ran on a deficit stimulus program of invest-ment in Canada and a modified approach in global affairs. It also seems Con-servatives are jealous of the young PM’s charisma and good looks.

The new PM is welcoming to the public and vice-versa in Canada and abroad; partici-pating in social media, includ-ing selfies. This is in sharp contrast to the aloof manner of the previous PM.

I’m going to give our new prime minister and gov-ernment the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities in global affairs and in restor-ing a strong economy to Can-ada while at the same time respecting the environment of our planet.

A newly-formed group in Cumberland intends to do what it can to prevent fur-ther killings of bears in the village.

Members of the Cumberland Bear Ini-tiative do not want to see another year like 2015 when conservation officers had to destroy seven bears, including a moth-er and two cubs.

“We had some tragic occurrences here last fall,” CBI member Carolyn Kirk-Al-bert said. “Many of us decided that it was time to take action and become more bear-friendly and bear-smart.”

The volunteer group aims to ‘bear-proof ’ the village by educating residents to help reduce the frequency and inten-sity of human-bear conflicts.

“We have a huge control over the non-natural attractants that are bring-ing bears into the village,” group member Paul Laronde said. “In great part is gar-bage, compost and fruit trees. If we can help residents understand those three attractants and what can be done to manage those, we hope to have a direct result in the number of bears that are killed, let alone the number of human-bear conflicts.”

Other attractants are barbecues and bird feeders, from which bears can con-sume a high number of calories and nutrients.

“One bird feeder can match an hour of scrounging for berries,” said Laronde, who implores residents to use feeders only in winter when bears are hiber-nating and natural bird food is limited. “That could be a challenging one, telling somebody they can’t enjoy the company of their neighbourhood birds. That goes to show the challenge of this entire proj-ect. It’s just raising people’s awareness to their habits.”

Laronde notes a unique and dense population of about 7,000 bears live on Vancouver Island, where the animals are a bit larger and darker than those on the mainland.

Bears tend to be active from mid-March to November. Once a bear has located a food source, it can remember the location and return. This initiates a process of creating ‘problem’ bears.

“It takes one bad neighbour who doesn’t pick fruit or leaves the garbage out and a bear happens upon it and it starts that cycle,” Provincial Conserva-tion Officer James Hilgemann said.

In a span of four days last October, three adult bears and two cubs were put down in the Comox Valley. Four of the animals were in Cumberland. The two cubs had been trapped, but when Hilgemann explained their condition to the provincial veterinarian, the latter recommended they be put down because they were eating out of garbage.

If cubs are candidates for rehabilita-tion, they are sent to the North Island Wildlife Recovery Association in Err-ington.

“We get frustrated,” Hilgemann said. “People say, ‘Why are you shooting the family? Can’t you just trap them and relocate them?’ Relocation does not work on conditioned bears.”

Last year, he said a “perfect storm” of warm weather, a drought with low rivers, an early berry crop and bountiful fruit growing attracted bears to populated areas.

“There’s a simple solution — be respon-sible for your garbage, pick your fruit ASAP, and save a bear’s life and protect your neighbours,” Hilgemann said. “Peo-ple are putting the bears up for failure and putting their neighbours at risk.”

LUSH Valley Food Action Society will assist the Cumberland Bear Initiative by way of a fruit-picking service.

“One of the major aspects of this ini-tiative is an opportunity to glean fruit, and other food that is being grown on the property that might be going to waste,” Laronde said.

Cumberland Rotary has provided the CBI with a $500 donation. The Cumber-land Lake Wilderness Society is also on board with the cause.

“They have bears who call the lake home,” Laronde said.

Working with Cumberland Mayor Les-lie Baird, the CBI plans to conduct a door-to-door survey to gather and map data about concentrations of bear attrac-tants.

Volunteers are needed. The intended date is Saturday, Feb. 20.

“We’ll be able to plot where bears are sighted, and maybe develop a better idea of what the natural pathways are,” Lar-onde said.

For more information email: [email protected], or drop by Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. at the Village boardroom.

“We would like to see it as a big com-munity movement, eventually, where we can prevent any more killings of bears when it isn’t necessary,” Kirk-Albert said.

Tips to avoid bear-human conflicts: •Dispose garbage in bear-proof con-

tainers, or store indoors;•Put garbage out on the morning of

collection, not the night before; •Pick ripe and excess fruit; remove

fallen fruit;•Don’t put food waste in backyard

compost bins; •Don’t add fish, meat, fat, oils,

un-rinsed eggshells or cooked food to compost bins;

•Take part in the Village’s curbside organics collection;

•Burn barbecues clean immediately after use; wash and store them covered out of the wind;

•Feed pets inside and store pet food inside.

House concert ‘with a twist’ in Cumberland

If you’ve never been to a house con-cert, now is your chance to listen to superb music from talented musicians in the comfort of a house and with only a limited number of guests.

The MusicArt Salon in Cumberland will be hosting a house-concert on Sat-urday afternoon (Feb. 13), featuring Blaine Dunaway and Jeff Shucard of Sweet Papa Lowdown fame. Dunaway and Shucard are a dynamic duo who will fill the house with vintage blues.

And the twist? Fine art by local artists Pat Stauffer, Sandra Lamb and Martha Jablonski-Jones will grace the salon’s nine-foot-high walls.

Dunaway is a consummate musi-cian: a seasoned performer, teacher, composer, and conductor. He’s also a collaborator like no other who will play with anyone, anytime, in any genre. His compositions range from string quartets to 15-piece bands to medita-tion tracks. As an improvising violinist and trumpet player, there are dozens of albums with his touch adding to the magic...and in many different genres: jazz, classical, folk, world music, popu-lar music, and blues.

Jeff Shucard brought together a unique ensemble of hot syncopated musicians to bring a contemporary vitality to the classic jazz and blues tunes of the 1920s and ’30s and called the group Sweet Papa Lowdown. The group has recorded three critically

acclaimed CDs: Lost & Found, Til Times Get Better and more recently, One of Your Smiles, a CBC live recording with British jazz legend, Chris Barber.

Pat Stauffer paints lovingly detailed watercolours of nature. For inspiration she chooses from local scenes, or from her large inventory of photographs taken while travelling throughout the world.

The amazing 2016 jazz calendar con-tinues Thursday at The Avalanche Bar & Grill when Jon Miller Quartet takes the stage at 7:30 p.m.

This top-rated Victoria ensemble has appeared on several occasions in the Victoria Jazz Fest International as well as other Vancouver, Victoria and Island music spots.

As one of the B.C.’s premiere instru-mental jazz groups, the latest album 3 Days In Winter was recorded in Febru-ary 2015.

“The album is made up of nine orig-inal jazz compositions by myself, as producer and drummer/bandleader, accompanied by talented band mem-bers: saxophonist Monik Nordine, gui-tarist Rob Cheramy, and bassist James Young,” said Miller. “The quartet will per-form music from the album as part of the Island tour.”

This marks the group’s second record-ed album project fol-lowing the debut release Orchidology (2009), which was nominated in the category “Album of the Year” in Monday Magazine’s 2009 M awards. 3 Days in Winter has already spent 19 weeks on campus radio charts for jazz programming across the coun-try.”

The Jon Miller Quartet continues to mine in a mostly acoustic instrumental jazz vein, while incorporating a host of outside influences including blues,

fusion and other forms of improvised music. 3 Days in Winter covers a wide range of moods, from meditative and introspective to raucous and freewheel-

ing, and teams the impres-sive upright bass and drums combo of Young and Miller with the dynamic playing of one of Canada’s top female saxophonists, Nordine, and one of the area’s finest jazz guitarists, Cheramy.

“I am happy to bring this band to a wider audience across the Central Island

area, the band members and I have a unique and special chemistry together and I look forward to sharing this quar-tet with others; we have a lot of fun per-forming together,” said Miller. “We’ve heard much of the great jazz scene in Courtenay and we’re really anticipating this particular concert.”

Admission is $10 for members, $12 for non-members.

Continued from Page 19“When I take a picture, it’s usually

because I have a painting forming in my mind,” she says. Although she enjoys painting flowers and nature, she also likes to vary her subject mat-ter to keep her paintings fresh.

Sandra Lamb is a painter in almost every medium, a teacher and a free-lance graphic/producer. She’s also pro-duced a daily comic strip. Sandra has a witty sense of humour which often shows up in her paintings, but also creates works which are aesthetically beautiful, provocative, and even evoc-ative.

“After studying Fine Arts at the U of Alberta, I swore I would never paint again,” says Martha Jablonski-Jones.

Thank goodness she wasn’t serious.Jablonski-Jones loves urban land-

scapes – the rich textures, smells, and sounds of things weathered and imprinted by time and human occupa-tion. She paints with a distinctive pal-ette replete with rich tones, and many of her artworks have an architectural bent: buildings, telephone poles, bridg-es, alleys. As this is a house concert, seating is limited and tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets are $20, with all proceeds going directly to the musicians. Admission includes hot drinks and some yummy treats. Doors will open at 12:30 p.m., show at 1.

To reserve, and find out the location, e-mail [email protected] or call 250-336-2808.

Concert: Artists provide the twistStudents at the North Island College School

of Fine Art and Design are hosting a masquer-ade party Friday and the public is invited.

Shadbolt Studios and Raven Hall will be transformed into a gallery setting for the stu-dent-run art event. This year’s theme is the masquerade; participants and attendees are invited to celebrate art with costumes, masks and exuberant enthusiasm. The evening will also include live entertainment and refresh-ments.

The exhibition will feature a diverse range of works created by students enrolled in the Fine Arts Diploma, Emily Carr University Exter-nal BFA and Interactive Media and Graphic Design programs.

Student artwork will include sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, pho-tography, design, video and installation. The art event will also present the opportunity to take home an original work of art, as some artwork will be available for purchase. Funds raised from donations will help support future art events and the Fine Art Diploma Graduate Show.

The opportunities for students in the School of Fine Art and Design programs at North Island College are numerous and varied. Many students have been the recipients of prestigious awards and scholarships, related to their prac-tice in the arts. Students study a broad range of media and develop a multi-disciplinary edu-cation and practice. The student art event is a chance for the public to learn more about the programs offered at North Island College but most importantly, it is an opportunity to cele-brate the emerging talents and achievements of the students with the community.

The student-run art event will take place in Raven Hall and Shadbolt Studios at North Island College’s Comox Valley Campus, 2300 Ryan Rd., Courtenay, Friday, Feb. 12 from 7-11 .pm.

This work, a collaboration from Sarcy Geddes, Candy Chen and Leah Hodge, is one of the feature pieces at the North Island College School of Fine Arts and Design masquerade party, Friday. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Art students hosting masquerade party

For those who can not attend the masquerade party but are interested in viewing the art at the event, there will be a post-event morning viewing

in Shadbolt Studios on Saturday, Feb. 13, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Admission is free and open to the public; all ages are welcome.

Three bands, games with prizes and even special guest pole dancers are on the agenda for the Heartbreak Howler at the Avalanche Bar & Grill Feb. 13.

Banjo Joe, Cobra Ramone and Little Bird will provide the live music.

Cover charge is $10. There will be a limbo contest, as well as a

giant Twister competition for prizes and give-aways throughout the night.

There will also be special guest pole dance performances with the girls from Femme Natale, featuring Canadian pole dance cham-pion, Nadyne Moldowan.

Special Olympics big winner at PWA card

The Pure Wrestling Asso-ciation made a triumphant return to the Comox Valley on Jan. 30 when they put on a fundraiser in support of Comox Valley Special Olym-pics.

Organizers said there was a great turnout of fans and the wrestlers put on a really good show. The event raised just over $400 for CVSO, who had several members play important roles in the evening and enjoy meeting the wrestlers.

“The PWA wrestling event was a really exciting evening and the Special O. athletes were thrilled to be a part of it,” said CVSO spokesperson Agnes Knowles. “Several more athletes came as fans.

“The PWA organizers and the other wrestlers made sure our athletes were included in several different ways: we had an athlete on the door, others as guest bell ringer and special ring

announcer, and one athlete was even invited to be a guest manager,” Knowles said.

“It was a completely suc-cessful evening and we are appreciative of being the recipients of a sizable dona-tion from PWA based on their SRO event.”

Inside the squared circle, E.O. Mike Becherer defeat-

ed Super V-Los, BJ Lare-do defeated Cremator Von Slasher to become the #1 con-tender for the B.C. Champi-onship, Scott Steel defeated Matt Xstatic, Lak Siddartha with The Goat 98.9’s own Rock Dawg defeated Barry Goode to remain Pure Vio-lence Champion.

In other matches, Riea Von Slasher defeated Vio-

let to remain VIPW Wom-en’s Champion and Krofton, accompanied into the ring by Comox Valley Special Olympian Tristan McCo-ll, defeated Ethan HD to remain BC Champion.

The PWA website notes that after the B.C. title match BJ Laredo attacked Krofton and Ethan HD joined in. A slew of wrestlers came from the back and a brawl ensued.

This led to Cremator coming back to the ring and choke-slamming everyone in sight. BC Champion Krofton was spared, but BJ was hit last as the crowd erupted.

RING NOTES Special Olympians helping out at the show included guest ring announcer Trevor Car-ter, bell ringer Morgan Bell and door attendant Millie Johnson...check out photos on https://m.facebook.com/ComoxValleySpecialO/ ... the PWA has announced it will open the Pro Wrestling Academy in Campbell River on March 1…

‘16

Curlers qualify for provincial championshipsThe idea to form a masters

curling team and compete has come to fruition for the Holden team curling out of the Comox Valley Curling Centre.

They were successful at the Island Playdowns in Duncan with a winning streak that qualified the team for the BC Provincial Masters in Abbots-ford March 8-13. The team consists of skip Mary Holden, third Sharon Walker, second Amber Dufour and lead Elaine Starchuk.

Mary and Sharon have played together for several years and picked up Amber and Elaine who both have experience at the provincial competitive level. A great addition!

Special thanks to Cody Hall, the CVCC ice technician, for preparing practice ice that was similar to that at the playdown venue. The initiative was really helpful and appreciated.

Nanaimo, Qualicum and the

local ladies bonspiels are the next ‘practice’ events for the team so all there is to say is “You go girls!”

Senior TeamDistance was not a problem

in forming a competitive curling

team for four ladies from the Lower Mainland and the Island.

This team competed in the senior women’s Lower Main-land playdowns Jan. 15-17 and successfully secured their spot at the Tim Hortons BC Senior

Curling Competition, to be held Feb. 15-21 at the Richmond Curling Centre.

They are skipped by Lynne Nobel from Qualicum & District Curling Club; third, Katie Witt, from the Royal City Curling Club (Katie is the coach of the current BC Junior Ladies team); second, Comox Valley curler, Colleen Robson; and lead, Janet Harris, also from Royal City. The team is also happy to have Kathy Branch from the Comox Valley Curling Centre as their fifth player.

Lynne, Colleen and Kathy, along with local Lindsay Spark-es have just come from an A event win in Parksville and are looking forward to their next event in Nanaimo before attending provincials in Rich-mond.

Both events can be viewed on playdowns.com for the curling enthusiast following the prog-ress of the local curlers.

The Ecofish Whalers wom-en’s hockey team recently attended the Victoria Pacific Cup for the first time.

Despite many of their team members having little expe-rience in the big league, they managed to come out with an impressive record of 1-1-1.

The Whalers faced teams from the big cities of Victoria and Vancouver and were able to bring their A game, giving each team a good run for their money.

In a recent game between hometown rivals, the Comox Valley Breakers and Courte-nay Whalers battled through three periods of play at the Comox Valley Sports Centre.

The Whalers grabbed an early lead with a goal at 18:10. The penalty box was busy for the Whalers, but they held off any chances of pow-er-play goals for the Breakers.

The Breakers scored on a shot from the point with only 11 seconds left in the period to tie the game.

In the second, the Whalers broke the tie at 12:53 then tallied two more to finish the frame up 4-1.

Keeping the pressure on, the Whalers scored three more goals in the last seven min-utes of the third period to skate off with a 7-1 win.

Nominations are being sought for the fourth annu-al Top 20 under 40 Business and Community Achievement Awards.

The annual black-tie gala dinner and awards presenta-tion recognizes the Island’s best and brightest business and community leaders under the age of 40.

Roger McKinnon, chairman of the Top 20 Under 40, said more than 50 people have been nominated since the event’s kick-off on Jan. 20, with the deadline for nominations set for Feb. 15.

McKinnon said if the last three years are any indication, it’s expected more than 100 people will be nominated by the deadline.

“These awards are unique in that while each commu-nity’s chamber of commerce have awards ceremonies for people in their region, our awards cover all of Vancou-ver Island,” he said. “They are also not only about recogniz-ing each nominee’s business accomplishments, but also rec-ognizes their service to the community.”

Past award winners from the Comox Valley include Courtenay Coun. Bob Wells, Chamber of Commerce chair

Andrew Gower and Coast-al Black Winery owner Abel O’Brennan.

McKinnon said the event was first developed as a result of all the positive contributions that are being made by young people in business across Van-couver Island’s communities.

Anyone can nominate entre-preneurs, executives, manag-ers and professionals in public, private, and non-profit sectors for an award.

Nominees must be under the age of 40 as of Dec. 31, 2015.

Nominations are based on

such values as achievement, experience, innovation, leader-ship, and community involve-ment.

Nomination forms and any other information about the event are available at www.20under40.ca

McKinnon said the awards ceremony has been held in Comox for the past three years, but it was decided to move it to the VICC this year.

“The awards ceremony gets bigger each year, and now we need a space that can han-dle more than 400 people,” he said.

Deadline looms to submit Top 20 under 40 nominations

Last year’s Top 20 under 40 event at the Filberg Centre was sold out. The event has risen in popularity to the point where it has had to be moved to Nanaimo, to accommodate the interest. PHOTO SUBMITTED

TURNER, Richard Roy “Rick”It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our much loved husband and father, Rick Turner, at the young age of 62. Rick quietly passed away January 24, 2016 at the Edmonton General Palliative/Hospice Unit after a brief, but very courageous battle with brain cancer.

Rick was born in Comox, BC, and raised on Vancouver Island. It was in Victoria where he met Barbara. They married in 1977 and moved to the Comox Valley in 1989 to raise their young family. After 23 years in the Valley, they became empty-nesters, and Rick and Barb were excited to start a new adventure in their lives and moved to Edmonton, Alberta to live closer to their sons. Many special lifelong memories of Rick will be held by his wife Barbara, his sons, Ben (Chelsea) and Jesse (Robin), as well as his siblings Susan (Warren), Gail, Mike (Janis), and Brian. Rick holds a special place in the hearts of many family members and leaves behind beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews as well as many cherished friends of long ago and present. His quick wit, great sense of humour and love of sharing a beer and conversation with everyone will be sadly missed by all. The family looks forward to sharing memories in a Celebration of Rick’s Life to be held in the Comox Valley at a later date in 2016.
