Candidates tackle the issuesBarbara Biley (Marxist-Leninist), John Duncan (Conservative), Glenn Sollitt (Green, fourth from left), Carrie Powell-Davidson (Liberal), and Gord Johns (NDP), were all on hand to answer a series of seven questions relative to the local riding. Andrew Gower (third from left) moderated the debate. PHOTO BY ERIN HALUSCHAK

Terry Farrell and Scott StanfieldRecord staff

More than 500 people packed the Sid Williams Theatre on Monday eve-ning for the Courtenay-Alberni All Candidates Forum.

John Duncan (Conservative), Gord Johns (NDP), Carrie Powell-Davidson (Liberal), Glenn Sollitt (Green) and Barbara Biley (Marxist-Leninist) were all on hand to answer a series of seven questions relative to the local riding.

The audience was respectful for the most part, although moderator Andrew Gower did have to remind those in attendance of protocol, when some jeering erupted after Duncans opening remarks.

The first question related to First Nations, and candidates were asked how they plan on assisting and advo-cating for First Nations within the

riding.Biley opened by saying she assisted

with the Walking With Our Sisters art installation (commemorating the 1,181 murdered and missing aborig-inal women in Canada) that came to the Comox Valley this summer and while she supports a full inquiry into the missing women, more must be done.

We need, in Canada, a renewed constitution to establish nation-to-nation relations between the federal government and First Nations. We need redress for all the crimes com-mitted against First Nations since the founding of Canada and it cant be just

a matter of an apology and then the same thing goes on, day after day.

Duncan said his relationship with the FN groups is solid and he will continue to support and advocate on their behalf.

The priority of the band can very readily become my priority, too.

As for the missing and murdered aboriginal women, he said statistics show that the solve rate for missing and murdered aboriginal women is the same as the solve rate for non-ab-originals.

Duncan said it is a societal issue, not only a FN issue, and the solution is to catch the bad guys, as opposed to establishing an inquiry.

Powell-Davidson disagreed and said the Liberal Party is committed to an inquiry into the missing and murdered aboriginal women.

NEWS IN BRIEFShore clean-up at Simms Park

The annual Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup event is happening, and in Cour-tenay, Project Watershed will once again be undertaking a clean-up of the Simms Park waterways.

The work party will take place on Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. - noon, at which time a tally-up will be done and refreshments provided for participants.

For further details and registration, visit bit.ly/1Q1TDob

We again will have mutual assistance from the Comox Valley Nature folks many hands make light work, said Bill Heidrick, Project Watershed director and chair of the education and outreach committee.

Everyone is welcome. Bring gloves and appropriate footwear and your enthusiasm to create a cleaner, healthier environment.

For more information about this event, contact Project Watershed at 250-703-2871 or email: [email protected]

Fatal MVA involving motorbikeHighway 19A in Royston was closed for

several hours Tuesday night due to a fatal motorcycle crash.

Around 7 p.m., media reports indicate a motorcyclist appears to have crossed the cen-tre line, clipped a truck and ended up under a car. The motorcyclist died at the scene.

RCMP add more information about the inci-dent will be coming later this week.

Stolen cars in the ValleyPolice received reports of two separate

motor vehicles being stolen in the Comox Val-ley on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 29. Later in the day one of the vehicles was recovered on Duncan Bay Main near Wolf Lake. The second vehicle, a white Ford F150 pickup with B.C. licence DF2032, is still outstanding.

Also on Sept. 29 a vehicle reported stolen from the 3300 block of Egremont Road in Cum-berland two weeks earlier was located driving in Cumberland by police. The driver was arrested and taken into custody and lodged in police cells. The male youth arrested had three warrants for his arrest at the time of the stop and is now also facing charges of possession of stolen property and three counts of break, enter and theft.

Hospital on schedule, budgetConstruction of the new hospital in Cour-

tenay is on time and on budget, North Island Hospitals Project chief officer Tom Sparrow told Courtenay council Monday. About 67 per cent of workers are local. Sparrow expects at least 650 trades people to be hired later in the year or early next year.

Coun. Manno Theos noted potential parking strains at the neighboring college and aquatic centre will need to be addressed when con-struction is completed in 2017. Sparrow said these groups are considering options.

CVRD to pursue Croteau Rd. Pump Station option

To the displeasure of area resi-dents, the regional district sewage commission has opted to pursue a site at Croteau Road as the preferred location for the Comox No. 2 pump station.

A study had recommended con-structing the multi-million dollar facility on Beech Street in Area B. Other possible locations were Mac-Donald Wood, Filberg and Baybrook parks, and a property near Comox Town Hall.

The area at the base of Croteau is an unopened road right-of-way, owned by the Town of Comox and the Trans-portation Ministry. The new station facilitates the installation of a force-main from Croteau to the wastewater

treatment plant, bypassing Wille-mar Bluff near Goose Spit.

It did appear that, although this wasnt a top of the favourite, that consensus had been reached, Comox director Barbara Price said at Tuesdays commission meeting. Its kind of disturbing when the message only went out yesterday and we have this number of people here.

Area resident Lorraine Aitken says there was no consensus, at least among the community.

Politicians may have had consen-sus, she said. We did not vote for that site. Not a chance.

But Courtenay director Manno Theos, who chairs the commission, said its the best project we possibly have.

He drew some moans from the crowd when he said a pump sta-tion in Victoria blends well with the community.

Area B director Rod Nichol feels Croteau Road is

the best of the worst options. Were stuck with a poorly designed

system from years ago, he said. I feel for the people that are front row, in the Beech Street area.

Residents who participated in an advisory group say a higher-ranked, cheaper option would be to replace the Courtenay pump station and forcemain running to the Jane Place, or Comox Sewage Pump Station. Combining these projects, they claim, would save Courtenay and Comox taxpayers nearly $7 million.

BARBARA PRICE

A former G.P. Vani-er grad and chief negotiator for the Kmoks First Nation is receiving the high-est honour the indig-enous community bestows upon its own achievers.

Born in the Comox Valley, Mark Steven-sons work in truth and justice for indig-enous people is what made him one of the recipients for the Ind-spire Awards, to be held in Vancouver in early 2016.

Its very humbling to be a part of (the awards), said Steven-son from his law office in Victoria. From the aboriginal community, its the highest award that the community is involved in.

The awards were created in 1993 in conjunction with

the United Nations International Decade of the Worlds Indige-nous Peoples.

They recognize indigenous profes-sionals and youth who demonstrate outstanding career achievement.

With a background in constitutional law, Stevenson began working for the Privy Council in Ottawa in 1982, focusing on indigenous constitu-tion matters.

He was the chief treaty negotiator with the Government of British Columbia for seven years and part of the team for the Charlottetown Accord.

He has also negoti-ated a wide variety of agreements on behalf of Indigenous Peo-ple including oil, gas and mineral revenue sharing agreements, pipeline, forestry and impact benefit agree-ments linked with hydro mega-projects.

Stevenson is also the founding director

and past president of the Indigenous Bar Association and the founding director and former chair of the Aboriginal Legal Ser-vices of Toronto.

In 2009, he received the Indigenous Peo-ples Counsel des-ignation from the Indigenous Bar Asso-ciation for his work.

He noted coming from a Metis family originally from Alber-ta, aboriginal issues - whether it is Inuit, Indian or Metis - are a constant in his life.

There is an unfair-

ness of settlement, and unfairness in the rights of Aboriginal Peoples.

I knew treaty negotiations were a good venue to resolve (some of the issues) and a useful tool.

As a negotiator for the Kmoks First Nation, Stevenson said the treaty is com-plicated due to an ear-lier land grant from the E&N Railway.

In 1875, the Rail-way Act expropriat-ed a large portion of KFN traditional ter-ritory and the land grant was completed without acknowledg-ment of their right or title to tradition ter-ritory, and failed to compensate KFN.

A lot of the land was given away to the mining and logging industries, added Ste-venson.

Ramona Johnson

Ramona Johnson frequently runs into former acquaintances at the I-Hos Gallery. A recent visitor, for instance, turned out to be a classmate from her days as a kin-dergarten student in the Comox Valley.

Johnson has managed the award-winning gallery since it opened 20 years ago on Dyke Road at the Kmoks First Nation vil-lage.

The gallery which includes a collection of Northwest Coast art-work by numerous First Nations artists has been honoured by the B.C. Aboriginal Business Awards, Aboriginal Tourism Brit-ish Columbia and the Chamber of Commerce.

Trip Advisor has listed the gal-lery at number seven on the top 20 list of things to do in the Comox Valley.

I-Hos attracts visitors from around the world, especially in recent years with the click and buy luxury of online technology.

Sales on our website are much higher than when we started, Johnson said. Weve had people in from Scotland, from England, from Australia. Thats all just this week. And its slow time. Theyre all vis-iting family and friends here.

Recently, she hosted her first tour from China.

But perhaps the most enjoyable

aspect of working at the gallery is dealing with parents who have purchased graduation gifts for their children.

And now their kids are coming in with their new families and new lives, and theyre buying artwork for their homes or their office, and showing me the graduation gift they received.

After growing up in the Valley, Johnson (ne Billie) had lived in Calgary and Toronto (where she worked at the CN Tower) before taking resort management at North Island College.

Tourism is the area I chose and Ive been in it for probably 25 years.

Johnson jokes about the perks that come with age, such as free cable.

Youre first in line. The older you get the more you getIm an elder in our reserve now.

Johnson had worked a couple years at a floating fishing resort in the Tofino-Ucluelet area before managing I-Hos. She had also worked at Mount Washington.

While at NIC, she wrote a report which said she wanted to work in a native art gallery that promotes First Nations people.

And thats exactly what I ended up doing, she said.

Johnson volunteers time at Vancouver Island MusicFest and the Child Development Associ-ation telethon. She also busied herself the last couple years help-ing co-ordinate the Walking With Our Sisters memorial exhibit that honours missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls.

Editorial

The irony, as they say, is delicious.This week, the BC Liberals intro-duced to the legislature Bill 34, which aims to proclaim the first Wednesday in March as Red Tape Reduction Day.

Yes, really.The goal, one assumes, is a relatively sim-

ple one to eliminate excess paper work, delays and other unnecessary road blocks that only serve to hold up the otherwise good and important work done by the provincial govern-ment.

Of course, we are left to make that assump-tion on our own, as the actual wording of the proclamation itself just a few short exposi-tory paragraphs provides little in the way of useful information.

What is the end goal of such a day? What exact measures will be taken to achieve said goals? Who, exactly, will benefit? And how?

In the spirit of the bill itself, at least its succinct.

However, a few more words would go a long way toward explaining what, exactly, the point of it is, because on the surface it seems to be nothing more than parody an unnecessary procedure that passes a law celebrating the reduction of unnecessary procedures.

Red-tape reduction was addressed by Pre-mier Christy Clark during a throne speech earlier this year. It was made a priority at that time, and responsibilities dumped on the lap of new minister of small business, Coralee Oakes.

And now here they are, talking about it again without substance. Seems redundant, no?

Critics opposition politicians and citizens, alike were quick to jump on the absurdity of it all, making comparisons to everything from Monty Python to The Simpsons, while wonder-ing if it was a story culled from The Onion, the satirical online newspaper.

Had such a bill been passed on a larger stage, by a bigger government, it would likely be the lead item on any number of late-night television monologues.

But potshots aside, the bill itself seems meaningless nothing more than an empty gesture aimed to make the government appear pro-active and forward thinking, while accom-plishing nothing.

You know, the usual red tape.

Liberals introduce meaningless bill

Our friends will attest to the fact that nearly everything my wife and I do, we do as a team.

This summer, as a team, we broke the bathroom scale.

Erica and I have embraced the Island lifestyle particularly the menus.

Well, the party, as it is, is over.Its not that Erica and I are inac-

tive. Quite the contrary, in fact.With two dogs, we have no choice

but to be active. We have a daily walking routine, and I get out golfing at least once a week (which, contrary to the belief that golf is not exercise, constitutes a 15-20 km walk in itself).

Its not a lack of exercise that is hurting us; its a lack of discipline.

For me, its sweets.My coworkers can attest to that.

Rarely will you find my desk devoid of chocolate, jelly beans, or dough-nuts.

Erica confesses that her weakness is the late-night snack; more out of boredom than anything.

Her workdays start later than mine, so I am usually first to bed.

When left alone, just her and the food channel, theres usually a plate of cheese and crackers that finds its way to the TV room.

Soda is another weakness, for

both of us. There is always Pepsi in the house, and a look at the empties in the garage tells us that there is always a lot of Pepsi in the house.

Which brings me to my third weak-ness: beer.

Ive acquired quite a palate for craft beers. Its not that I drink a lot at once, but even one with a meal accounts for a six-pack a week.

(There are a lot of weeks being stored in our garage.)

So we have decided to take a jour-ney together. A journey to the back of our walk-in closet - to the clothes we havent worn since our arrival to the Comox Valley.

Ive tried a couple of those pairs of pants. I am still trying to find out who is responsible for shrinking them.

Alas, the pants dont lie.It wasnt long ago that I fit into

everything in my closet.I cant speak for Erica in this

regard, but I purged my closet before we moved, so I know those pants were still relevant, 18 months ago.

At any rate, Erica and I have made a commitment. We plan on losing 60 pounds (combined) in the next 60 weeks (concurrent). And, we figure, it will be harder to stray if we are accountable to you, the readers.

So we invite you to take the jour-ney with us.

Throughout the winter, we will be giving monthly updates in a special 60 in 60 column.

We will also set up a blog on The Record website (comoxvalleyrecord.com), where we will post more regu-

larly, if you care for a weekly update. We will tell you our accomplish-

ments, confess our cheating, and give regular updates regarding the weight being lost.

We also urge anyone else who has considered doing something about their weight but needs that first push to join us on the journey.

We even have an email address, [email protected], if you are a couple looking to do the same and you want some added motivation. Maybe the four of us can get together for a glass of water and an unsalted cracker sometime.

For Erica and I, the formula will be simple.

Our diets wont change, inasmuch as our daily meals are concerned. It will be simply removing the stagnant sugars and the late-night snacks.

No more jelly beans. No more mid-night brownies and ice cream. And we will switch to calorie-free soda. Oh, and no alcohol during the week.

From an exercise standpoint, we will increase our daily calorie burn. I will start running again.

We will find a gym we are comfort-able going to, and get winter mem-berships.

With a lot of hard work, we will both be back to our pre-Island forms by the beginning of summer 2016.

Just in time for the beach season.Next year, I wont be embarrassed

to take off my shirt.
