Saren Azer emailed

The Comox Valley Record
Tuesday evening, disputing claims made by Alison
Azer in Ottawa earlier this
month.
At a press conference
July 5, Alison Azer stated
to national media that her
husband,
who allegedly
abducted her four children
in August 2015 and took
them to the Middle East,
was detained June 12 in
the Iranian province of West
Azerbaijan and released on
bail with mobility restrictions.
She further stated that
Saren had made at least
one court appearance and is
scheduled to appear in court
again in the coming weeks.
Saren, the Canadian-Kurd
also known as Salahaddin
Mahummudi-Azer, sent the
following message to The
Record Tuesday evening:
What you have printed
about me and my children
is untrue and unfair. I have
never been arrested and or
released on bill (sic).
Rescue at sea
442 Squadron was involved in a rescue of a

man overboard on the west side of Vancouver
Island.

Tuesday night, refuting claims made by his ex-wife, Alison, of his arrest and bail restrictions.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
We are happy and well,

going on with our lives. It is
a shame to see this fabricated lies in canadian Media
(sic).
It was signed:
Saren Azer.
The photo accompanying
this article was attached.
This is the second contact

The Record has had with
Saren Azer since the alleged
abduction of his children.
Azer agreed to an interview with The Record in
May, under the conditions
that the questions be sent to
him electronically. He was to
answer in the same fashion.

The questions were sent,
and The Record received
confirmation that they were
viewed, but no response was
ever returned.
An attempt to reply to
Tuesdays email initially
bounced back.

Petition against Beech Street proposal presented to sewage commission

Scott Stanfield
scott.stanfield@
comoxvalleyrecord.com
Area B director Rod Nichol has presented the regional

district sewage commission
with 700-plus names on a
petition against the contentious No.2 pump station on
Beech Street.
There will be more to

come, he said at Tuesdays
meeting.
A second sewer pump station is required to remove
or decommission an existing sewer forcemain from
Willemar Bluff. The budget
for the project is about $8.6
million.
Courtenay director Erik
Eriksson suggests the petition addresses more than
just the No.2 station but

takes into account the foreshore and a comprehensive,
environmentally sensitive
plan for the entire sewage
system.
He suggests developing
an overall plan rather than
just pieces here and there.
We have limited capacity in the current sewage
treatment plant, we have
opposition to the No.2 pump

of pipelines along the foreshore, we have the issue of
Project Watershed wanting

the No.1 pump station being
there and it needing work,
Eriksson said.
We have the issue of the
failure of the south sewer
