Council revokes non-profit groups’ tax exempt status KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Morgan Stewart-Webb’s father Noah performed life-saving CPR after the early baby failed to breathe when he was delivered at their Quadra Island home.

A hero from the moment of birth BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

As little Morgan Stewart-Webb grows up on Quadra Island he won’t have to look far for a hero. That hero will be his dad, Noah Webb, 25, the volunteer fire fighter who saved Morgan’s life at the moment of birth. In mid-August Morgan’s mom, Amanda, 28, went into labour three days early and gave birth in the couple’s backyard wading pool. “We thought we had lots of time,” Noah says. They didn’t. Often babies take a few seconds to breath, but baby Morgan did not and when the midwife could

not find a pulse the 911 call was made. That’s when two and a half years of constant fire department training kicked in. “I’ve done quite a bit of training to do CPR, but I never thought I’d have to use it. I inserted an airway and I continued to bag him,” Noah says. With the baby not showing signs of life Noah says he “kind of fell apart and lost it because I knew at that point there was a slim chance he would be resuscitated.” Noah’s fellow first responders arrived quickly and the baby, still not breathing, was rushed to the ferry.

breathing. Noah said Morgan took a breath, then another and continued breathing sporadically on the way to hospital. The infant was flown to Victoria General Hospital and is now back at home with no residual ill effects from his perilous start in life. Noah says he is very thankful for the training he has received with the volunteer fire department. “I am grateful to be part of the organization and it was very comforting to know the crew who arrived to help.” While it may not mean much to Morgan just yet, BC Ferries has honoured the baby with a free ferry pass for life.

A handful of local charities and non-profit groups are about to take a big financial hit. City tax exemptions for six non-profits are on the verge of being revoked in order to adhere to rules laid out in the provincial Community Charter. “This has been in the Community Charter for awhile,” said Natalie Aalderink, the city’s finance manager, at a council meeting Sept. 18. “We went and got the interpretation of it (and) we got clarification from the province.” What that means is property tax exemptions can only be granted if a charitable, philanthropic, or other not-for-profit owns the land it operates on. Six local groups, which have in the past been given the tax exemption, do not fit the above criteria. As a consequence, council gave first three readings last week to an amendment to the per missive tax exemption bylaw that will deny tax breaks to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, Total Change Ministries’ 88.7 Spirit FM Christian Music radio, Campbell River Family Services, Canadian Red Cross, Campbell River Seniors

Society, and River City Players. Council also denied issuing new tax exemptions to the Campbell River Dragon Boat Society, Opportunities Career Services Society, and the Strathcona Regional District. Aalderink explained that because those organizations don’t own their own buildings, the tax break truly goes to the property owner. Coun. Ryan Mennie argued that the non-profit does benefit. “Would it also not be fair to say that without the exemption...the owner has to recover those costs?” Mennie asked. “I’m assuming the owner would raise the rent to try and recover the costs of the tax exemption they’re not getting.” Coun. Claire Moglove was concerned the city was pulling the rug out from under the societies involved, which had not been notified prior to the council meeting. “It’s going to be a significant hit to those particular groups,” Moglove said. “Is there...a grantin-aid or something like that, where these groups would be able to apply for a grant similar in amount, so that they won’t be so negatively impacted?” Aalderink replied that the groups could indeed apply for Continued on A3

B.C. lightkeepers honour their champion KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Under cloudy skies, with the imposing Cape Mudge lighthouse looming in the background, former lightkeeper Jim Abram vowed to keep fighting for lightkeepers – the eyes and ears on the ocean. Abram,with his family by his side, returned to his former workplace last Friday morning to accept a lifetime membership in the B.C. lightkeepers union, a union he helped form in 1994. “We felt we were not being properly represented by the people we were working with, so we started our own local,” said Abram after being presented with a commemorative plaque by union secretary-treasurer Glenn Borgens. “We had our first meeting in Victoria and they told us we’d all be fired. Since then we’ve been fighting and we’ve been fighting hard. We had to do it four times and if we have to do it again, I’ll be there.” Just three years ago, Abram took up the battle and played a pivotal role in convincing thenFisheries Minister Gail

Strathcona Regional District director and former lightkeeper Jim Abram was honoured with a lifetime membership to the B.C.

and the invaluable service they provide. “This is a service everyone has to understand is irreplaceable,” Abram said. “We’re one of the few nations that still appreciates the fact that lightkeepers deliver the most affordable and efficient service to mariners who come from all around the world to be on our coast. I’ve been very proud to be a member of such an organization and it’s going to stay with me all of my life.” Abram acknowledged his wife, Wendy, son Jesse and daughter Melissa for sticking with him and supporting his work, which demanded a lot of time away from home. “They’re all lightkeepers to me,” he said. “They grew up with me at this lightstation.” As the event wrapped up, Borgens announced he had another surprise for Abram. Borgens returned from his car with an old stamp concealed in a small plastic bag. “This is the first stamp of Local 20232,” Borgens explained. “I’m not sure if it still works, but it’s yours to keep. “Welcome back to the family forever.”

The society is requesting a tax break on property purchased in December 2009. The list of tax exemptions is not yet final. Council is expected to adopt the bylaw sometime within the next month.

Fire closes remote Knight Inlet Lodge Tuesday

Hard at work More than 25 volunteers gathered Saturday to plant 300 trees along the Myrt Thompson Trail bordering Campbell River. The event was organized by the Greenways Land Trust and was made possible thanks to a $5,000 grant from Canon. This spring volunteers mounted a “broom bash” to rid the trail of scotch broom, yellow flag iris and Japanese knotweed. These noxious weeds are being replaced by Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, Saskatoon berries and other friendly species. Hard at work are Maggy Parks and Peter Schwarzhoff.

Lodge accountant Barbara Callander told the Mirror Tuesday that staff were scrambling at mid-day to take care of their guests. Details of the fire were expected later in the day after the Mirror deadline. All Callander would say is that the lodge “is non-operational.” Spotty initial reports suggest the fire may have started overnight in the kitchen.

Police lectured for wasting the court’s time “Trifling” assault wasted court’s time and money Campbell River Crown counsel and the RCMP have received a lecture from Provincial Court Judge Brian Saunderson about wasting the court’s time and taxpayers’ money. The lecture came as Judge Saunderson dismissed assault charges against Ryan Thornton who got drunk one night in June, fell asleep and woke up angry when he realized his wife had video taped him in bed. “It can be said with certainty,” Judge Saunderson wrote in his judgment. “That it was not in the public interest to prosecute this man for this event. The police had the discretion not to forward a report to Crown counsel, but chose to do otherwise. Then Crown counsel had the discretion not to approve a charge, but

chose to do otherwise.” Both the Crown and the police “took the easy way out by leaving the matter to the court,” the judge stated. Thornton had apparently wrongly accused his wife of cheating before going to bed. She decided “to film him so that she could show him how he was acting,” the judge wrote. She pulled the bed covers away to expose Thornton’s face at which point he woke up and a 10 second “tug of war” followed. Thornton smashed the camera and his wife called 911. Judge Saunderson said the woman’s version of events did not make sense and “the incident was minor – indeed it was trifling.” He concluded: “The public was not served by this proceeding. It was a waste of the court’s time and the taxpayers’ money.”

Minister in sticky situation BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A letter written by Education Minister Don McRae when he was a Comox Valley teacher lamenting classroom overcrowding has come back to haunt him. The president of the Campbell River District Teachers’ Association Elaine Thompson said she hopes McRae’s concerns as a teacher will follow him into his new portfolio. McRae was shifted from Agriculture to Education in Premier Christy Clark’s recent cabinet shuffle. “When he was a teacher he wrote a very powerful letter about the difficulties of teaching large classes with numerous students that had special needs,” said Thompson, referring to a letter McRae wrote to North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena towards the end of his 14-year career as a high school teacher.McRae wrote: “This semester I have 128 students and 18 IEPs (Individualized Education Program special

needs students) in total. My concern is that I do not know just how effective I will be as an educator this year. With large classes, management becomes a bigger issue, and more time is spent trying to get students on task. If I continue to teach classes of this size and composition, I do not see how the system will get 18 more years of service from me. I would eventually break or stop caring, and then it would be time for me to move on.” Thompson said: “Unfortunately, since McRae decided to move on...we have not heard him speak out about the issues surrounding large classes with so many special needs students. We have only heard him defend the gover nment’s education bills. And as an MLA, he told colleagues in a school staff room that he worked harder as a teacher than he does as an MLA. So we know that he understands how difficult a job it is to be a teacher.”

OUR WATER Drinking water: To your health Safe drinking water has been the key to public health since ancient civilizaƟons established themselves around water sources. Early water treatment improved taste and removed visible cloudy parƟcles by Įltering the water through charcoal, exposing it to sunlight, boiling it and straining it. Alum was used as a coagulant; it helped natural organic maƩer to clump together for easier removal. By the late 1800s, scienƟsts made the link between “invisible” water contaminants and disease. Cholera was Įrst linked to contaminated drinking water in 1854 and by the late 19th and early 20th century, public health focused on disease-causing microbes in water supplies. While ĮltraƟon removed suspended cloudiness and removing larger parƟcles that could harbor disease-causing microorganisms, it alone could not do the job. In the early 1900s, it was disinfectants like chlorine that reduced the incidence of water-borne diseases. “The use of chlorine for the disinfecƟon of drinking water is criƟcal for the control of waterborne diseases” (World Health OrganizaƟon). These diseases include cholera, typhoid fever and gastro-intesƟnal diseases. ScienƟĮc studies show that the health beneĮts from chlorinaƟng drinking water are far greater than any health risks posed by the treatment. In Campbell River, public health is safeguarded by UV and chlorine disinfecƟon and the Federal, Provincial and Municipal regulaƟons, standards and procedures that are in place. Thanks to the free ecosystem services that keep the Campbell River water free from natural organic maƩer, expensive treatment like coagulaƟon, ŇocculaƟon and ĮltraƟon are unnecessary. Today, over 80% of local residents drink City of Campbell River drinking water directly from the tap. This group considers the municipal water to be beƩer tasƟng than tap water from many other Canadian municipaliƟes. Another ten percent Įlter the tap water Įrst, using a variety of commercially available ĮltraƟon devices. But without the disinfecƟon and protecƟon provided by chlorine, the average home ĮltraƟon unit would not guard against deadly waterborne diseases, if they were present. Increased human presence in sensiƟve areas poses a risk to drinking water. People can help protect their personal health and the source of drinking water by pracƟcing responsible recreaƟon in the Campbell River watershed areas where recreaƟon is allowed. Get informed at www.sustainablecampbellriver. ca (follow the link to Watershed Management Plan); provide input via 250-203-2316 or water.wise@ campbellriver.ca.

Our View

Liberals do the math: 8 x 0 = 0 Finance Minister Mike de Jong should be good with numbers. Two of them loom large: Eight – the months left until the election; and, zero – the Liberals’ chances of victory unless they quickly demonstrate leadership. So, what does it take to signal he We say: Finance can do the math? How about a fiscal agenda that adds up? In its current minister should Angus Reid asked voters to rank help the economy poll government issues. Twenty-seven per cent said the economy was most expand important, up two percentage points in a month. The next most important issue was health care at 17 per cent, down three points in a month. Then came leadership at 14 points, up two.

Way at the bottom, in the one to seven per cent range, came all those “families first” issues that Premier Christy Clark has touted such as tax relief, poverty, education, crime, housing, day care and homelessness. De Jong has launched a wave of belt tightening including an immediate hiring freeze across government and a wage freeze for public sector managers including those in schools, universities and health organizations. He also hinted that he will tighten the screws in the negotiations with public sector unions and possibly hike corporate taxes. There are critical elements of de Jong’s agenda that simply don’t add up. First, most armchair economists would agree that during tough economic times the job of government is to help the economy expand. You

don’t accomplish that by cutting back on government’s ability to stimulate the economy. And you certainly don’t do it on the backs of the business sector which is responsible for growth and investment. Second, Premier Clark’s families-first banner is hanging at half mast. Voters – like those polled – have not bought into the proposition that tax relief, poverty, education, crime, housing, day care, and homelessness trumps the health of the over-arching economy. Clearly they believe government should facilitate economic wellbeing first and let the family first benefits flow as a consequence. The Liberals’ zeal to balance the books and tighten the screws is wrong. They should do the math – eight times zero equals zero.

For the record

In an article titled Transit Ridership is on the rise, published in the Mirror July 27, ridership figures for Vernon and Penticton were incorrect. The actual numbers are 405,271 for Vernon and 413,257 for Penticton. The incorrect numbers led to inaccurate information in a letter to the editor, Transit numbers don’t add up, published in the Mirror Sept. 19. Using the letter writer’s formula, the figures should be, for Vernon: $1.51 per ride in revenue and $6.07 per ride in operating expenses. For Penticton: $1.26 per ride in revenue and $5.73 per ride in operating expenses. The Mirror regrets the error.

Thinking back on my own fields of dreams

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

An item I read recently got me to thinking about stadiums. Or should that be stadia? Anyway, some stadiums have an aura and a history that can generate a nostalgia as a result. I can’t say I’ve visited a stadium or an arena that has that much caché because most of my professional sports consumption has been in Vancouver. However, I do have fond memories of attending B.C. Lions games and Vancouver Whitecaps games in old Empire Stadium and then BC Place. I used to catch the Vancouver Canucks at the Pacific Coliseum back when you could get a ticket for $20 but you had to ask yourself why you’d want to? I would be in nosebleed seats

and then move down to a lower level because sellouts were rare in those days. Except when the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens came to town, of course. I don’t know exactly when the first game I went to in Vancouver was. It was definitely a B.C. Lions game at Empire Stadium. I remember walking from the outer concourse into the tunnel that emerged into the seating area. I still remember being in the darkened tunnel that first time and looking out at the seats across from me and a portion of the field. Emerging out of the tunnel into the seating area was magical. Even though all of the seats weren’t filled yet, there was an energy in the air.

An excitement that something thrilling was about to happen. As a young sports fan it was a buzz. It all seemed to be bathed in a bright and glorious light. The stadium lights of course. The green artificial turf field seemed to glow. The white lines gleamed. There may even have been a touch of rain (it was Vancouver after all) and so everything had a glossy sheen to it. The P.A. announcer was saying something in a tinny, echoing voice and people were shouting to each other across the seats or yelling good naturedly to friends and acquaintances. Opposition fans were teased and the vendors hawked programs and goodies. I’m sure my oldest stadium expe-

rience would have been as a child in Scotland. I can remember going to some game with my Dad, uncle and brothers but I don’t remember the game. Being somewhere around five or six years old, I just remember crowds of people. The game involved a trip into Glasgow so I would guess it was a “road trip” for my family of Ardrieonians fans going in to see them versus Celtic or Rangers. At any rate, there’s something special about a live game. I haven’t been to the refurbished B.C. Place yet nor the Canucks “new” home at Rogers Arena but maybe soon I will. It’s been so long since I’ve been to a game I might be able to recapture that old magic.

Exemptions: Shame on city council

Suspicious calls Suspicious phone calls concerning an individual offering residential duct cleaning have recently been making the rounds in Campbell River. Complainants report that the individual can be aggressive and often the final price is elevated from what was initially offered. The caller seems to target strata units or senior citizen facilities. He is described as a balding, caucasian male, 5’7” with a heavy build. The male may identify the business as “Westcoast Restorations” however there are no valid businesses by that name in the area. The suspect is believed to be driving a white Chevrolet panel van without markings or signage on it.

council member had a look down island at all the city and village welcome signs? Obviously not. My gosh even Bowser wants to welcome visitors. And then what do I read in the paper this past week? Now council is contemplating taking away the only thing that allows the Senior Centre, the Christian radio station, the Re-store, River City players, The Dragon Boat Society, Strathcona Regional District, and even the Campbell river family services and Red cross, to operate. This ‘interpretation’ of the Provincial Community Charter just plain stinks and if this continues, this will be a travesty. These organizations will have to close their doors if the city continues to contemplate terminating their tax free property status. We should be celebrating the decisions of those local businesses and organizations that have given these groups a safe and secure place to house themselves, not take away their only way of continuing servicing the community. If the city council has to continue with this decision by law, then they darn well better fix the problem with whatever grants or monies that are available for them to continue as they have been.

Attempted theft with weapon A group of people walking down 9th Avenue on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 2:20 a.m. were lucky to escape an attempted theft and assault. The group was walking in the 700 block when a male approached and

asked for cigarettes. The group declined and the male became aggressive, producing a knife and swinging it at another male in the group. Campbell River RCMP responded to the incident and upon arrival at the scene, the suspect fled. A brief foot chase between police and the male ensued. The suspect got away but a police dog was able to track the male to a nearby area where he was found hiding from police. After a short struggle, the suspect, identified as Tommy Vernon Paul, 28, of Campbell River, was arrested. Paul was held in police custody and has since plead guilty to assault with a weapon and uttering threats. Paul remains in custody while a sentencing date is fixed.

Kris Mailman named Business Leader of 2012 â€œPerfectionist and visionaryâ€? Kris Mailman has been named C a m p b e l l R iv e r â€™ s â€œBusiness Leader of the Yearâ€? at this yearâ€™s Chamber of Commerce

Business Awards of Distinction. The awards ceremony Saturday at the Tidemark Theatre was attended by more than 250 guests.

This yearâ€™s event included live street theatre performances and a multimedia presentation honouring the Chamberâ€™s 80th anniversary and high-

3X12 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BYLAW NO. 139 Cortes Island OfďŹ cial Community Plan Bylaw 2012 Date of Public Hearing:

Saturday, October 6, 2012

Location of Public Hearing:

Gorge Hall 1375 Robertson Road Whaletown, Cortes Island, BC

Public Hearing to Commence at:

1:00 p.m.

Area Affected by Proposed Bylaw: That portion of the Strathcona Regional District described as Electoral Area B (Cortes Island); the geographic extent including Cortes, Marina, Subtle and Twin Islands and small offshore islets. Purpose of Proposed Bylaw: In general terms, Bylaw No. 139, being Cortes Island OfďŹ cial Community Plan Bylaw 2012, if adopted, would satisfy the requirements for OfďŹ cial Community Plans under Section 875(1) of the Local Government Act and would repeal Bylaw No. 1740, being the â€œCortes OfďŹ cial Community Plan Bylaw, 1995â€? and all amendments thereto.

SRD

As deďŹ ned by the Local Government Act, the purpose and intent of an OfďŹ cial Community Plan (OCP) is to provide guidance for long-term planning, development, and land use management within the area covered by the plan, through a statement of objectives and policies respecting the purposes of local government. In the case of Bylaw No. 139, the proposed OCP maintains the land stewardship practices established under Bylaw No. 1740 and also offers policy development in the following areas: 1.Environment: This section has been expanded to differentiate between sensitive ecosystems, habitat protection and wilderness protection; Riparian Areas Regulation requirements have been added and a Freshwater Conservancy designation has been added to provide a measure of protection for drinking water supply(ies). 2.Sustainable Development: Sustainable principles and goals have been included in the OCP for Electoral Area B. In addition to climate change policy, including targets and policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, coastal planning and sea level rise considerations are also identiďŹ ed. 3.First Nations: The OCP lies within the traditional territory of the Klahoose, Tlaâ€™amin, and XwĂŠmalhkwu First Nations and a section has been included that provides this context. Policy has been introduced regarding cooperative engagement, forestry and economic development. 4.Mansonâ€™s Landing: The OCP introduces preparatory local planning for Mansonâ€™s Landing as a primary social place on Cortes Island, including an amenity list for future development. Land use planning, waste management planning and environmental protection have been identiďŹ ed as key implementation projects in the future. 5.Coastal Designations: Current OCP mapping within Bylaw No. 1740 does not include designations over coastal waters. The proposed bylaw includes four new marine designations including Coastal Off-shore, Coastal Access, Coastal First Nations and Coastal Harbours. The intention of this change is to provide a long range planning framework for the myriad of marine activities in Electoral Area B. 6.Aquaculture: The OCP offers policy respecting aquaculture uses, including a list of criteria for aquaculture applications and direction to seek Map Reserve status for Gorge Harbour. 7.Agricultural Land Stewardship (ALS): A new agricultural designation has been introduced that provides for land sharing for farm operations. Similar in framework to Community Land Stewardship or Forest Land Stewardship, ALS allows for an increased number of dwellings to be sited on lands in support of farming activities. This designation does not apply to ALR lands. 8.Community Amenities: The proposed OCP includes a list of community amenities that may be requested in the event that a proposed development requests increased density. Copies of the proposed bylaw and related information are available for inspection at the Strathcona Regional District Customer Service Centre, located at #102 â€“ 990 Cedar Street, Campbell River, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays from September 21, 2012 to October 5, 2012. The bylaw may also be viewed on the Strathcona Regional District website at www.strathconard.ca. The public hearing will be held by a delegation of the Strathcona Regional District Board comprising the directors representing Electoral Areas A, B, C and D. Anyone who believes their interests are affected by the proposed bylaw will be given an opportunity to be heard or to ďŹ le a written submission at the public hearing. Written submissions from persons who are unable to attend the public hearing may be delivered by hand or electronically to the Regional District ofďŹ ce and must be received no later than 12:00 noon on October 5, 2012 to be considered as part of the public hearing record. The Strathcona Regional District cannot consider any representations made after the close of the public hearing. B. Reardon, Chief Administrative OfďŹ cer Inquiries should be directed to: Russ Hotsenpiller, Community Services Manager Strathcona Regional District 301 â€“ 990 Cedar Street, Campbell River BC V9W 7Z8 Tel: 250-830-6700 | 1-877-830-2990 | Fax: 250-830-6710 Web: www.strathconard.ca | Email: planning@strathconard.ca

Campbell River may be home to Winners KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Winners wants to set up shop in Campbell River – a move that city staff say could inject more life into the downtown core. The clothing, shoe and accessories retailer is proposing to convert the former Super Valu in Tyee Plaza. The proposal is still in the early stages, but the city confirmed last week that it has received a development

permit application. “We have an application for a form and character development permit and (city) staff are in the process of reviewing it and then it can go to council for their consideration,” said Ross Blackwell, city land use manager, who couldn’t say if renovations would be required on the building. Blackwell also hasn’t received any indication of when construction could begin but did say the

city received Winners’ application on Sept. 10. “We expect to advance this as quickly as we can so people can get shopping,” he said. Winners is known for its discount prices on brand-name home and apparel fashions. The retailer offers discounts of up to 60 per cent off designer clothing, which come in daily. Blackwell said it’s encouraging to have a large retailer such

as Winners invest in Campbell River. “I think this is great news, it will attract more (people) into our downtown core,” Blackwell said. “It brings more vibrancy, it’s great for tourism; when folks come to visit our town they have more options.” Winners is just the latest of a handful of new developments to come through the city in the past few months. Seymour Pacific got

the ball rolling with its April announcement that it would be tearing down a block of empty commercial buildings along St.Ann’s and replacing it with a new four-to-five-storey head office building. Berwick Retirement homes then secured a development permit to build a seniors facility on the empty lot between McDonald’s and Banners restaurant, followed by developer Orla Jensen who plans to reinvent

the old Willow Point Mazda into a new commercial space. Rounding out the list is a transition house under construction downtown at the bottom of the Dogwood hill, a 47-unit rental apartment complex at Merecroft and Dogwood, and, most recently, a shopping complex with a TD Canada Trust Bank and Shoppers Drug Mart at the corner of Hilchey and South Dogwood.

“Campbell River’s doors are wide open for investment and land development and we’re here to help that process as effectively and efficiently as we can,” Blackwell said. If Winners does indeed go through with its development permit application, the new store would become the sixth location on the Island. There are currently Winners stores in Courtenay, Duncan, Nanaimo, and two in Victoria.

Campbell River ICBC employees join province-wide one day strike KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ICBC (Insurance Corporation of B.C.) workers in Campbell River joined their counterparts across the province in a oneday strike last week to protest wage freezes and government draws from ICBC revenues. Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPE) members representing ICBC demonstrated with sandwich boards outside the claims centre on 12th Avenue Sept.18. About 1,600 workers were on strike at 55 claims-related locations across B.C. with essential service levels maintained to abide by a May Labour Relations Board ruling. The union has been without a contract since 2010 and voted 87 per cent in favour of strike action in April to support demands for wage increases in line with the cost of living. David Black, the president of COPE 378, said it’s not something the union takes lightly. “We haven’t been on strike at ICBC in over thirty years, but this is about fundamentals,” Black said in a news

release. “It’s about saying you can’t ask hardworking people to go two years without a basic fair contract.” At the time of the union’s strike vote, members were asking for five per cent pay raises in 2012 and in 2013, while the government has a zero

Lunny, who is the only union representative on that committee, confirmed that the minister has not followed the committee’s recommendations “a whole bunch of times.” In one case, he said, there was a domestic company prepared to pay a fair price to purchase a shipment of raw logs, but the minister rejected the committee’s desire to keep the logs here in B.C.

BRIAN KIERAN Work on the Simms Creek culvert replacement project is complete, and traffic and water are flowing again. The project inserted an urgently needed new storm sewer drain pipe into the existing culvert at Galer no Road to support traffic and utilities crossing Simms Creek. The “slip-lined” pipe is approximately 26 metres long and three metres in diameter and has been grouted in place with concrete to replace the previously-failing culvert. In-stream work was completed ahead of fall rains and in time for the fall fish run. “Fish habitat has been restored with improved conditions designed to allow the fish better passage through the culvert,” says Jason Hartley, the city’s capital works manager. “The city thanks Upland Excavating and McElhanney Consulting Services for their outstanding efforts in

An “evolving” threepoint NDP plan to renew the forest sector will include raw log export restrictions, the re-instatement of a jobs commissioner and aggressive reforestation, North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena says. Trevena made her remarks at a United Steelworkers (USW) sponsored town hall meeting in Campbell River at which the Liberal government’s “neglect” of forest sector issues was a recurring theme. The NDP has come under fire for not being specific enough about its policy agenda. Trevena’s plan was in lockstep with a USW five-point plan outlined at the meeting by union officer Scott Lunny. Trevena said: “On the North Island we can see the effects of 11 years of government policy. We have an immensely wealthy resource in our forests and we have no con-

Darrel Wong, president of USW Local 1-1937, told the meeting B.C. must reform the forest sector if it expects to take advantage of a U.S. housing rebound. “The projected housing starts in the U.S. over the next two years are up in the range of 1.5 to two million,” Wong said. “That is where we start making significant money. Now the issue for us is actually getting more manufacturing jobs out of that because we have reduced the number of manufacturing facilities on the coast.”

Young Riverite’s Disneyland dream needs an angel BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River mom Brandi Stovman is searching for an angel of mercy who can help get her 10-yearold Down Syndrome son Braedyn on the first leg of a once in a lifetime trip to Disneyland. Braedyn has been invited to take part in “Dreams Take Flight 2012” sponsored by Air Canada and Disneyland, but getting the youngster to Vancouver for an orientation session Sunday Sept. 30 and for his flight to California Oct. 16 is proving to be a daunting challenge. Central Mountain Air has already stepped up to the plate with an offer of generously discounted tickets from Campbell River to Vancouver return and it is hoping some community group will “partner” with the airline to

make it happen. In fact, Central Mountain reservation manager Patty Peterson has told the Mirror she has booked the Sunday flights just in case. There isn’t much happening in Brandi’s life right now that isn’t a disaster. Her home is on the brink of foreclosure, her decade old van is on its last legs and she’s on crutches and off work. “Air Canada and Disneyland is giving Braedyn the one thing we have always wanted to do for our son. I always thought that one day I would have that honor of taking my son to the most magical place on earth, but our finances won’t allow it at this time. We are in financial turmoil at this time and are fighting to save our house from foreclosure,” Brandi says. “I have been diag-

I drive a failing van and it has been very cranky lately and I do fear that it wouldn’t be able to make the trip. My husband, Chris, would drive us there, however he works in camp and his pay cheque coming in is the only reason why we haven’t lost our home yet.” In order to qualify for the trip Brandi and Braedyn have to go to Vancouver on Sunday for a mandatory “meet and greet.” On Oct. 16 Braedyn has to be at Vancouver International Airport at 4:30 a.m. for the flight. He returns at 11p.m. the same day. “He will make hundreds of memories and new friends that will last him a lifetime. I am thrilled for him,” his mom says. “I would

Cooler weather brings the entertainment indoors Ah, the end of summer and we have to come indoors again, but it won’t be difficult with some great entertainment coming your way from the 2012/13 season of Quadra’s Cultural Committee. The first concert will see vibrant youth and exceptional musicality in the form of piano four-hands with the talented Fung-Chiu Duo. These two soloists, Janelle Fung and Philip Chiu, have become one of Canada’s première piano duos to challenge the traditional boundaries of their genre. Hear their lively performance on Sunday, Oct. 14 at 2:30 p.m. at the Quadra Community Centre. Formed in 2007, under

the auspices of Jeunesses Musicales Canada, the Fung-Chiu Duo has toured the country to many Canadian cities and given gala performances at such venues as the Casino de Montréal and the Orford Arts Centre. “They fairly romped through the program, showing considerable flair for the virtuosic side of piano playing…many moments in their playing, especially in the Debussy and the Ravel, showed the poetic side of their musicality,” Stephen Pedersen of the Chronicle Herald. Janelle Fung began her piano studies at the age of four in Vancouver. She received degrees from the Eastman School of Music

and the Julliard School of New York and her doctorate from Université de Montréal. At age 14, Fung made her professional debut with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and has concertized throughout Canada, the U.S., Europe, South Korea, Japan and Argentina. Philip Chiu was born in Hong Kong and raised in Canada. He received his Piano Performance Diploma from the Glenn Gould School in Montréal. Winning the Glenn Gould School Concert Competition, Chiu went on to solo throughout Canada, playing his orchestral debut in 2005 with Maestra Tania Miller of the Victoria Symphony. One of Canada’s most sought-after collaborative pianists, he has performed with such artists as Stefan Dohr, principal horn of the Berlin Philharmonic, Larry Combs and Craig

Haig-Brown Festival features Make miracles happen local First Nations musicians The Haig-Brown Festival has been attracting some excellent local talent in the last few years, and this year is no exception. Duane J. Hanson, a member of Campbell River’s First Nations Homalco band, will be appearing again this year with the Bentwood Boyz, a group of musicians also composed of local Aboriginal artists. Like last year, they plan to play a mix of blues and country tunes and Hanson is in favour of playing acoustically. For this appearance, he will play the bass guitar, but he usually plays drums. “I’ve been playing since I was six years old,” Hanson said. “I grew up in a musical family and lear ned from my dad and my uncle. I was already performing in public by the time I was 10.” Hanson was drawn to the festival while working with MISA in Campbell River last year on a project involving Aboriginal youth and art. He got to know Ken Blackburn at the Campbell River Arts Council and when Blackburn (who also coordinates the Haig-Brown Festival) found out that Hanson was a musician, he asked him if he would be interested in providing the festival’s musical entertainment. “I went to the property to get a feel for

Duane J. Hanson, a member of the Homalco band, and his band Bentwod Boyz, will be part of the entertainment at Sunday’s Haig-Brown Festival.

the location,” Hanson said. “I liked the fact that it was right by the river. Historically, everything in Campbell River started with the river. I think the Haig-Brown Festival is a really good festival because it tries to create an awareness about our impact on the environment.” “I don’t think there is a First Nations group that would disagree about the importance of preserving the environment, and right now, there is a concern that commercial interests are going to overwhelm the small communities that are being offered dollars in exchange for

compromising their surroundings.” Hanson has a degree in social and economic studies and works for the John Howard Society as First Nations Relations Advisor. His recent experience with the Society has given him the opportunity to look from the outside, in. He has also been an elected chief, and he is well acquainted with the frustration experienced on both sides. “I have an ‘over the hedge’ philosophy,” he says. “I think Aboriginal peoples are in a position to take the best from both worlds and to empower each other.”

This philosophy has worked well for Hanson musically, and he is ready to move forward with recording original songs. He has been very busy this summer playing in the Vancouver area mostly for weddings and family reunions. There, he says, the demand is usually for rock music. As a writer of songs however, he leans more towards blues/ rock. He would like to see other First Nations musicians on the West Coast break away from what is classified as Aboriginal music and create something new, and he wants to help the Bentwood Boyz take the next steps towards doing that and creating a following. This summer audiences enjoyed their music at Spirit Square, and they are booked to play at the Quinsam Hotel in November. This Sunday you can have the pleasure of hearing them play live on the grounds of the Haig-Brown house. The festival is free and runs from noon to 4 p.m. While you are there, don’t forget to look for this year’s commemorative fly, Haig-Brown’s ‘Coho Blue’. A boxed ‘Coho Blue’ has been donated by Tony Pinder and will be available for auction at the Festival. For further information, call the Museum at 250-2873103.

Sports Wolves channel Vince Lombardi “Individual Commitment to a team effort… that’s what makes a team work.” – Vince Lombardi It was as though Vi n c e L o m b a r d i ’s famous quote was meant specifically for the Timberline Wolves Football team as they stepped onto the field to face their Vanier rivals last Friday night under the lights. After hours of intense competition, the scoreboard showed a Timberline victory of 20-6, but what some onlookers may not have understood was the victory for the Timberline Football Team was much more than the score on the board. Mid-August, school football teams are allowed to start practicing. A few days before practices were scheduled to start, the Timberline team was told there would be no football program in Campbell River this year. The core group of young men has played football together since pee wee…and this was to be their senior year! Stunned, the team gathered to talk over their options…but as the idea of all the players moving to different schools out of town to play seemed like the only viable option with such short notice, the Wolves decided they would not move – they would stick together and they would find a way to remain Timberline Wolves – they would not give up.

Strong opening tournament earns Wolves No. 2 ranking The Timberline Wolves Senior Girls Volleyball Team has placed second in their first tournament of the season and swept Vanier in a home opening league game. At the 10-team Dover Bay Invitational, the girls knocked off the Number 2- and 4-ranked team in the province and now the Wolves find themselves ranked Number 2 in B.C. on the AAA list. We placed first in our pool then beat #2 Ballenas in the semi-final. In the final we lost 23-25; 24-26 to Cedar of Nanaimo. The match could have gone either way. “I consider this to be a rebuilding year as we are such a young team,” said coach Terry Philp. “I have six Grade 10s and only three Grade 12s. I think the difference in us and those teams we played is that the six Grade 10s all played at a high level this summer and have a leg up on some of the older girls we played against. Sarah Chase played on Team BC and the other five girls all played on the Island Summer Games team that I coached. They won bronze at the games in Surrey this past summer and played against some top notch competition. I’ve told the girls not to let the high ranking go to their heads. It is early in the season and now teams will be gunning for us. The Island is really strong this year, so just qualifying for provincials will be a challenge. “I am very excited about this team and the future of girls volleyball at Timberline,” said Philp.

Midget Tyees tested in physical season opener

The action gets intense during Friday’s TImbelrine football game against Vanier. The football season almost never got underway when it was announced in mid-August that there would be no program.

With the help of their coaches, parents and supporters, they found a way to meet every challenge and

solve every problem - no whining, no complaining, no excuses. And Friday night, as the crowd cheered and

the coaches yelled and the plays were called, each young man did his job, whether it was to deliver or protect or

catch or carry. The next Timberline football game is Saturday, Oct 6 at 1:30 p.m. at Timberline field.

The 2012/13 Royal LePage midget Tyee season officially got underway Saturday afternoon with the first of five placement round games. Game 1 in was away against the Comox Valley A1 team. The teams came out fast and aggressive with several bone rattling hits by both squads. However, Comox crossed the line and found themselves a man short. The Tyees took only 15 seconds into the power play to score their first of the season on a shot from D man Brayden McCartney. Continued on B2

Aquaculture Week message is upbeat BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Aquaculture Awareness Week in Campbell River concluded last week with a fish farm tour in Okisollo Channel and a message that salmon farmers have matured and the public “conversation” about the merits of the industry has improved. “The hard work is starting to pay off,” BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) executive director Mary Ellen Walling said. “The industry has really matured. There is a real commitment to work collaboratively and we are finding ways to communicate that we truly care (about the environment.)” Walling said a good example of how far the sector has evolved in the past decade is its handling of the IHN virus outbreak this year compared to a similar event several years ago. “It was like night and day.” she said. “The industry’s response

this time was immediate. Bio-security protocols were in place immediately and testing was ramped up. We managed it effectively.” On a tour of the Marine Harvest Okisollo far m of f the northern tip of Quadra Island BCSFA communications manager Colleen Dane said: “A couple of years ago ... you would hear a lot

more about whether we should be doing this job and if we should be doing aquaculture in British Columbia. I find more and more the conversations we are having now with the pubic is not whether we should be doing aquaculture, but how we can make sure we are doing it in the most responsible way.” Dane said that is a good thing because

there is a pressing need to provide protein to a growing global population and “there are a limited number of wild fish out there and if we want to continue to protect them we need to be able to provide sea food in another way and aquaculture really is the future.” Mayor Walter Jakeway, who participated in the tour, said: “It’s great to see an industry

that’s doing well and has so much potential to grow. We just have to let the bureaucrats get out of the way and let the salmon farmers get on with it.” Liberal candidate Nick Facey, also on the tour, said: “One of the neat things to see is how low impact these facilities are. It is incredible to see their efficiency, their cleanliness and the sheer volume of salmon they are able to produce. We saw 10 pens with about 60,000 fish in each. That’s more than 500,000 fish (at the Okisollo farm). That’s absolutely incredible and it’s a industry we have to grow in B.C.” Dane said she is hoping that visitors to farms like Okisollo appreciate “how much care we take when we are farming out there so when they come back and they talk about the economic benefits that the industry provides to these communities they can also feel very confident that it is not at the sacrifice of the environment, that we

growth levels persist the industry will be producing less than 80,000 tonnes of salmon annually by 2020, an increase of only about 10,000 tonnes in eight years. If the industry could grow at the pace of its counterparts in Norway or Chile that harvest could be between 120,000 and 140,000 tonnes annually by 2020. Currently, salmon farming supports 6,000 direct and indirect jobs and contributes $800 million to the provincial economy annually.

are doing both very well.” The economic realities of the sector and its growth potential were a key theme at the association’s AGM. Dr. Roslyn Kunin, Director of the British Columbia Office of the Canada West Foundation, reported that finfish production in B.C. enjoyed annual growth of 10.8 per cent through the 1990s, but less than one per cent annual growth from 2001 to 2010. The economist also noted that if current

David â€œNeillâ€? Hanna

March 31, 1928â€“ September 21, 2012

It is with saddened hearts that we annouce the sudden passing of our dad, grandad, uncle and friend. He was predeceased by the love of his life, Dorothy in 2002. Survived by his children; Grant, Maggie, Mike and Barb, grandchildren; Alexandra, Danielle, Connor, Brad, Ryan and Rachael, sister in law Idabelle, nieces, nephews, and very dear and special friend Helen. Dadâ€™s life was ďŹ lled with lots of love and laughter(heavy on the laughter). He enjoyed life to the fullest, always had a kind word and smile for everyone and looked for the positive in everything. Truly a gentleman. Dad was born in Alberni, BC. March 31 1928 and moved to Campbell River, BC in 1958 with his young family in tow. In the summers, if he wasnâ€™t down at the ball park watching games, he was hooking up the 5th wheel and heading out camping with all his crazy friends(you all know who you are!!!) Dad was also a very proud and dedicated member of the Masonic Blue Lodge for over 50 years and the Shrine Club. A memorial service will be held at 1:00p.m. on Friday, September 28, 2012 at the Campbell River United Church, 415 Pinecrest St. Tea following at the Masonic Lodge. Flowers gratefully declined. In lieu, donations to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.
