I would like to send the biggest thank you I have ever sent to the Comox Valley Search and Rescue, the RCMP, the Mount Washington Ski Patrol, Victims Assistance, and to any other island search and rescue teams who were involved in finding me on Mount Washington. I would also like to personally thank Const. Snyder for keeping my family in touch with the details of the search, as well as Chad, the helicopter pilot who picked me up in the morning. Everyone involved was extremely professional and unbelievably good at their jobs and were somehow able to co-ordinate and organize a multi-faceted search party at the drop of a hat. Truly amazing. My first experience at Mount Washington, while horrendous at times, will not be my last thanks to the amazing folks in our community. Thank you for everything.
To the editor and staff of the Comox Valley Record: All the best for 2012. Thanks for the best little paper in the Comox Valley. Thanks, Under the Glacier; you keep us smiling. Thanks, Tim Schewe; you keep our eyes on the road and our minds concentrated on our driving. Thanks, Ralph Shaw, for the interesting fishing stories. Thanks for the calendar every year.
I see that our Vancouver Island North MP, John Duncan, used our tax money to print and mail calendars to every one of his constituents. My question is how much did it cost and how many surgical procedures could have been performed with that money? We would like to thank everyone who helped with the Vanier basketball fundraiser for Nathan Loukes. Also to those who donated items for the silent auction in Langford. Your support and donations were so much appreciated. It was all such an outpouring of community giving and love.
It will be extremely interesting to see how DND intends to deal with the overheight buildings on Crown Isle. My suggestion: Put the air traffic personnel into the million-dollar condos. That will give then an unobstructed view of the surrounding areas in luxurious, well-deserved comfort.
A bouquet to Videos N More of Comox from the Comox Valley Ukrainian Cultural Society for selling tickets to Malanka.
To the Comox Valley Common Sense group: I am retired, have lots of time on my hands, have opinions on just about any subject, and will gladly express my expectations to mayor and council. Will write anonymous, threatening letters to non-complying councillors. How can I become a member? Please advise.
