Quadra sewer users want onerous rates rolled back BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR

The owner of a pit bull that fatally injured a dachshund last month surrenders it to a Campbell River SPCA official assisted by a RCMP and municipal bylaw enforcement officers on Friday.

A group of Quathiaski Cove ratepayers on Quadra Island has asked the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) to rollback onerous sewer system charges they say they can’t afford.

In one year charges for the 101 property owners hooked up to the sewer system have skyrocketed.

The basic residential charge has gone from $299 in 2011 to $692.

The basic commercial rate has increased from $1,196 to $2,769.

And, the school rate has soared from $7,774 to $17,997.

Quathiaski Cove Landing Pub owner Joe Duprey, who is paying more than $3,400 to flush his toilets, says the increases are “totally ridiculous” and the SRD has “totally mismanaged the system.”

On Friday Duprey and eight of his fellow ratepayers met with the SRD Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Brian Reardon and placed several demands on the table including a rollback of the increases.

Reardon said the meeting was “very productive,” but a rollback is “not possible” because the sewer rates are set in bylaws approved by the board. “This was the first of a few meetings that will be needed moving forward. We are reviewing the list of requests,” the CAO said.

Sewer: Petition circulated

Director says referendum needed

include: An updated comparative list of other sewer charges in B.C.; an explanation from the SRD directors that voted for the new charges; an audit of the current budget related to the 2012 taxes; an audit of sewer repairs and maintenance performed by the SRD since 2008; and, the formation of a joint SRD and ratepayers committee to find a solution.

“We have the most expensive sewer system in B.C. We simply cannot afford to pay these increased rates and keep our heads above water,” Duprey told the Mirror.

The pub owner said a petition is being circulated amongst system users to support the protest.

“A number of our neighbours have lost all confidence in this form of government, but are afraid to come

Regional District Director Jim Abram says a petition to gage support for sewer service on Quadra Island doesn’t tell the whole story.

The Strathcona Regional District circulated the petition in May asking Quathiaski Cove residents if they would like to join the sewer system but only 30 per cent of affected properties were in favour of the project.

Abram, regional district director representing Quadra Island, said the petition was not a good indicator of the level of support.

“People were told if they didn’t send in a letter (response to the petition) it would be counted as a ‘no’.

So some people didn’t bother and it was counted as a ‘no,’” Abram said. “It could have been that they had forgotten, it may have been they did not care, it may have been a ‘no’.

The only way to get an accurate idea is to have a referendum.”

Abram feels residents in Quathiaski Cove do want sewer service as it was the residents who approached the regional district and asked to be put on the sewer system.

“This was about septic failure,” Abram said. “We had realtors and homeowners saying we need to join the sewer system to either live there or sell their properties. We had presentations to both staff and committees that told of a number of properties that were going to be condemned by the Vancouver Island Health Authority if we didn’t put them on sewer. So we were trying to solve a problem and it didn’t make sense to put one house on, skip a few and then put another house on.”

So the regional district went ahead with a petition to seek out support

forward for fear of reprisals.,” he said.

The system, originally private, was sold to the Comox Strathcona Regional District (CSRD) 12 years ago for $1. Two years later the CSRD implemented

what was supposed to be a one-time only rate increase.

“The (reconstituted) SRD took over this asset in 2008 and has stated it has no obligation to live up to the CSRD commitment,”

Duprey said.

T h e r at e p aye r s would like the SRD to consider spreading the cost of the sewer system beyond the service area because it has community wide benefits.

roads. John Miller, covered in blood after protecting his grandchildren, went into shock and spent two days in hospital.

Sheryl Miller said: “What if they had gone after my kids or my dad … what then? This is not the first time these dogs have been in trouble. But, people in the neighbourhood have been afraid to come forward.”

Miller’s vet bill for unsuccessful emergency surgery to repair severed neck muscles was more than $800, including $100 to have the animal cremated.

Now, an Ocean Grove resident has revealed that he had a run in with the vicious pit bulls when he was visiting family near Westgate and Arnason in June. The resident fears reprisal from the pit bull owner and asked to have his name withheld.

“The pit bulls broke down the fence in their yard and attacked my dog which was in my truck. I had to smash the truck door against the one dog’s rib cage to stop the attack. I reported this to the SPCA. I went there in person and they told

me they knew the dogs and that the owner had been fined before this,” the Ocean Grove resident said.

“I warned them that kids could be attacked by these animals. It’s a shame the dachshund had to die before something was done. Not enough was done.”

The BC SPCA general manager of operations Bob Busch said no action was taken in this incident because “there was no first hand witness and the owner of the dog attacked would not give a statement.”

A resident on Westgate Road, who also asked not to be named, confirms that the pit bulls have threatened people.

“These two do gs chased a man into my yard. There was terror in his eyes,” she said.

“The kids were getting out of school and running around. It was just by the grace of God that one of them was not attacked.”

She said she called the police. “When the RCMP officer caught sight of the dogs he quickly jumped back in his cruiser.”

Apparently, a “dog at large” ticket was issued by the city following this incident,

but when the matter came to court Sept. 13 the “civilian” witness did not show up and the charge was stayed.

After the seizure of the pit bull on Friday Campbell River SPCA Mana g er Kathleen Embree said the Mirror story “almost wrecked it for us because it came out on the front page of the newspaper so we had to act very expediently because it was going to be an issue.”

In fact, a provincial court judge had issued a warrant to seize the dog Tuesday, Oct. 16, one day before Embree first told the Mirror there had been an attack.

Bylaw enforcement manager Pete Wipper said the three day delay in exercising the warrant was due to scheduling difficulties getting the RCMP, the SPCA and the bylaw officer “co-ordinated.”

He added that he wants the public to be reassured that the city “was taking this file very seriously” and “a lot was happening behind the scenes to make this happen.”

None of the authorities involved have identified the pit bull owner.

A second pit bull that played a lesser role in

the Sept. 26 attack was not seized.

for the Quathiaski Cove sewer extension project that if approved would have extended sewer service to 53 properties, joining the 101 properties in the area already hooked up to the sewer.

At the time of the petition the project was expected to cost each property owner a one-time $18,400 connection fee, plus an annual sewer fee of $690. Abram said sewer user fees increased 132 per cent over last year and the steep price may have made property owners hesitant to sign up.

“Absolutely it’s an expensive project,” Abram said. “As soon as people saw that, why would they pay that much to join the sewer system when they have to pay that much for annual sewer costs?”

But, he said, if another 40 to 50 properties are added to the sewer system, user fees could go down by roughly 40 per cent. The regional district has also since learned it can use its Gas Tax Funds to subsidize the project and lower the price for property owners, though Abram said it’s not clear yet how much lower the cost would be.

Abram said he believes a contingent that were against being hooked up to the sewer system were able to capitalize on the expensive costs and persuade residents to defeat the proposal.

“The reason it got defeated was because of the way it was positioned and the lobby people had enough money to advertise – they were putting ads in the paper,” Abram said.

The bottom line, Abram said, is there are properties that should be serviced by the sewer system because they are less than 2.5 acres and have both a septic field and drinking water well on the property.

Abram said they are “legally nonconforming.”

Quadra miracle baby will ride ferries for free Morgan is the “Baby on Board” BRIAN KIERAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Two-month old Morgan Stewart-Webb has received a gift that will just keep getting more valuable as BC Ferry fares keep climbing.

The Quadra Island tot has received a “Born On Board” card,

a free pass for life on the ferry system.

This summer Morgan “came to life” aboard the Queen of Powell River as the new born, unable to breathe on its own, was being rushed to Campbell River Hospital.

The card was pres e n t e d T h u r s d ay to dad Noah and mom Amanda at the Quathiaski Cove ferry ter minal passenger waiting room by Capt.

Shawn Fraser, senior master of the Queen of Powell River.

Morgan, unaware of the enormous value of his birthright, slept peacefully.

In mid-August Morgan’s mom, Amanda, 28, went into labour three days early and gave birth in the couple’s backyard wading pool.

Noah Webb, 25, a volunteer fire fighter, had to use his CPR training to keep his infant alive.

Noah’s fellow first responders arrived quickly and the baby, still not breathing, was

rushed to the ferry.

In mid-channel in the ambulance Morgan started breathing.

Both parents say their second child is doing great despite the frightening ordeal.

Capt. Fraser said: “We are here to celebrate the miracle of life that is Morgan Stewart-Webb.

“It’s a great story how the whole community came together. It started with Morgan’s father who jumped into action to save his baby’s life and it

continued with first responders and the ambulance service.

“It is a rare and special occasion. Since 1960 there have been 770 million people travel on the ferries and only 25 births and the last one on this short little run was 19 years ago.”

Noah joked that he thought the ferry pass for life was “an urban myth.”

He added: “It’s amazing. It costs a lot of money to take the ferries these days.”

Bird shorts our mall power

‘Defend our Coast’ rally at MLA’s office today

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A bird was the culprit of a wide-spread power outage Friday afternoon that shut down most of Discovery Harbour Shopping Centre.

Ian Baikie, acting fire chief, said firefighters received several 9-1-1 calls reporting smoke inside Reitmans clothing store and burning smells in both Staples and Zellers.

“Reitmans was very smoky, we used fans to blow it out,” Baikie said. “Zellers had a really strong odour but not smoke and I was told Staples had a strong odour.”

Fire crews arrived at the mall around 2:40 p.m. and were on scene for just more than an hour and a half. The majority of businesses were without power and forced to close their doors for nearly two hours.

S t e p h e n Wat s o n , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said 129 hydro customers were in

More than 50 opponents of the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipelines and increased coastal oil tanker traffic were expected to rally today outside the Campbell River constituency office of NDP MLA Claire Trevena.

Event organizer Lizz Donald says the noon rally will be one of many at MLA constituency offices across B.C. “to show growing opposition to the risks posed by tar sands pipelines and tankers.”

“We want to link arms and show an unbroken line of opposition to tanker traffic on the coast and the pipelines that feed them,” Donald says.

Donald says she hopes the rallies encourage “politicians of all stripes to more broadly define their positions on this issue.” She says the Liberals have yet to take a position on tanker traffic and the NDP has not expressed opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. “We want cross-partisan agreement that there will be no tanker traffic expansion.”

The rally comes on the heels of a peaceful 3,000-strong mass sit-in Monday at the Legislature in Victoria. Support for the communitybased events reflects recent polling that shows a majority of British Columbians oppose the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipelines.

Baikie said the motor would have heated up, and started to smoke, causing the electrical smells in Reitmans, Staples and Zellers which was closed at the time to make way for Target, expected to open in the spring of 2013. Businesses that rely on the one unaffected phase of the power line still had power.

Willis improvements gain support

Society seeks new house KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Coun. Ron Kerr is garnering more support for his push to make Petersen and Willis roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

The We Wai Kai First Nation has added its voice to the crusade to install a continuous pathway along Willis and on Petersen from Willis to 14th Avenue.

“The Petersen Road, Willis Road situation is a danger to the public,” Brian Kelly, We Wai Kai administrator, wrote in a letter read aloud by Kerr at a council meeting

Oct. 2. “The narrow streets and lack of sidewalks make this route very pedestrian unfriendly.”

Kerr has been trying, over the course of three council meetings dating back to September, to prod the city to get moving on improvements before winter sets in and conditions worsen.

Kelly agrees the city can’t put off improvements any longer.

“The fact that during bad weather the deep ditches fill with water and overflow onto the roadway makes it even more dangerous,” Kelly wrote. “The We Wai Kai is very supportive of making the

safety of the citizens working and living in this area a priority.”

At last week’s council meeting, Michelle Albrecht, adult services program coordinator at Palmer

Place on Nikola Road, recounted seeing two close calls on Willis Road, including one incident involving residents at Palmer Place.

“I observed two of our Palmer Place residents attempting to move out of the way of a large recreational vehicle, one of them slipping into a ditch,” she said. “This is just a small snapshot of a very dangerous situation, one that is only going to get worse as the days shorten and the weather turns.

This is a tragedy waiting to happen.”

Kerr also has told council he sees pedestrians risk their lives on a daily basis, walking down the narrow, winding shoulders of Petersen Road.

Despite Kerr’s efforts, council insists there’s no money in the budget to move forward with improve-

The Campbell River Head Injury Support Society is in the market to build a new house – but it needs some help from the city.

Shelley Howard, executive director of the society, is asking the city to donate a piece of land to the non-profit so the society can build and then raffle off a home.

“We are hoping that the city will be in the position to offer us a piece of property on the water side or even with an ocean view so that we can build a house and raffle it off,” Howard said in a letter to council.

Proceeds from the raffle would go towards building a new 24-unit apartment building on the piece of land next door to the Head Injury Society building on the corner of Dogwood and 9th Avenue.

Howard said the current facility, which includes suites for residents who have suffered brain injuries, is at capacity, and there’s a need for more space.

“Our apartments have been full from day one and...we have a wait list,” she said. “Over the past year we have received numerous calls from the hospital about patients who are brain injured and living in the hospital because there are no other safe affordable options to release them to. In some cases the costs are upwards of $1,100 or more per day plus they are taking up valuable surgery or medical bed space.”

Howard said the families of brain injury patients also need a place they can go for support, as do the people on the society’s wait list.

ments in 2012, and construction would have to wait until next spring.

That doesn’t sit well with Albrecht.

“City council has gone on record stating it would be fiscally irresponsible to invest dollars in upgrading Willis Road in the short term, when the five-year plan is to upgrade Willis Road to arterial standards,” Albrecht said. “Explain fiscal responsibility to the family of the person who is injured or worse, killed along Willis Road.

“It is morally irresponsible to continue to ignore the problem.”

At council’s last regular meeting, Oct. 16, council chose to further discuss the issue during capital planning sessions of the 2013 budget planning process.

Our View

Let’s look closer to home for our heroes It hasn’t been a good year for heroes.

Especially for those whose revered accomplishments have come in sports.

A beloved football coach was implicated for his role in a sex-abuse scandal by one of his underlings. A renowned golfer continWe say: Seek ued to struggle his way back from his own admitted indiscretions that have out those with derailed his career for more than two integrity and years. honour And there have been the usual assortment of bad behaviour and insolence that are often followed by tearful apologies at hastily-called press conferences.

Most recently, one of the biggest heroes of all hit the ground with a resounding thud.

Lance Armstrong’s story of overcoming testicular cancer that had spread throughout his body to win the Tour de France cycling race seven times transcended his sport. It touched the lives of millions around the world facing their own difficult struggle with the disease. It gave them hope. It fueled the resurgence in cycling for health and fitness, sparked charity events like the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

But as cycling’s international governing body affirmed on this week, it was all built on lies.

Armstrong cheated. He used performance enhancing drugs to achieve his remarkable athletic success. He

bullied and enabled those around him to do the same.

Aside from the black mark Armstrong has tarred upon his sport, he’s betrayed the hope and inspiration many took from his story. And he’s carved another sizable notch in the notion that athletes are role models, people to be admired and emulated, an example for young people.

Perhaps it’s time we look for our heroes closer to home, to the people who touch us every day, who live their lives with integrity and honour instead of athletic glory and sponsorship riches.

We might be pleasantly surprised.

Letters

I take exception I must take exception to some of the comments made

by Mr. Rees in his letter to the Editor, in the Oct. 19 Mirror.

Area D residents did not vote in favour of a $22,000plus sewer connection to Campbell River (which smacks of a tax grab). We voted, instead, for a sewer connection for just under $10,000 per household. Area D residents have been well served by the efforts of Brenda Leigh in keepoing our taxes lower. If Area D was annexed to the City of Campbell River, our taxes would likely triple. Is this what Mr. Rees would like to see? Mr. Rees claims that Ms. Leigh is misinformed; I wish he would have asked us. We would have told him otherwise. It appears that Mr. Rees may be misinformed about whether Area D residents want to join campbell River. Furthermore, the City of Campbell River has not announced that it would hold public consultations regarding an annexation. If ever the case, I am certain many Area D residents would vote a resounding “No!” Robert R.

The attack of American celebrities

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

There was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday.

I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support.

To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11.

In 2007 he declared that the official

U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him.

Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy <I>Splash</I>. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline.

It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration.

The southern section from Cushing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities

to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that eco-celebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it.

It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington DC where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011.

At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil sands pioneer and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims, and asks why they were

reported so widely and uncritically.

Hannah claimed “the contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.” George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions. Fossil-fuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total. Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent.

“How does the oil sands contribution possibly qualify as unprecedented?” George asks.

Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream Continued on A9

Leaving a Legacy – a seniors’ project for the winter In this season of remembrance, we become more aware that many memories may be lost unless an effort is made to record them.

Seniors can leave a priceless gift when they impart their knowledge, skills and history as a legacy to family and friends to cherish for many years.Along with property and living wills, some seniors are now drawing ethical wills, which is the

systematic writing down or communicating of one’s intangible legacy of values to children, grand-children, family members and friends.

Aging provides opportunities for learning and emotional growth that can be deep and sustaining. Creating a meaningful legacy is a key part of this developmental process.

Internationallyknown geriatric expert David Solie

defines a personal legacy as “the unique footprint we want to leave for our time on earth.” In his book How to Say It to Seniors, physician and gerontologist Gene Cohen says it similarly in his book The Mature Mind, that older people are driven by an urgent desire “to find larger meaning in the story of their lives through a process of review, summarizing, and giving back.”

To help seniors celebrate their lives and memories, and start a legacy project for this winter, the Campbell River Library will be hosting a “Write Your Memoirs Workshop” on Wednesday Nov. 7, from 2-3:30 p.m., presented by Diane Hoffmann, Certified Professional Consultant on Aging. Diane will pass on tips to help get things started and keep them organized and inspired, through her “3 easy

For the record

steps” method. Participants should bring a pen and some paper for making notes.

Further information about Diane is available through her website at www.hofron. com .

This is a free program, especially geared to seniors.

Please pre-register by calling the Campbell River Library at 250287-3655. The Campbell River Library is located at 1240 Shoppers Row.

from the tar sands project.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary

by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron.

George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a

cluster of rare bile cancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, and blamed it on oil sands mining. Headlines blared around the world.

George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general

risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population.

This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases

– there is no cause for alarm.”

Was this news trump e t e d a ro u n d t h e world? You can guess the answer.

My point here isn’t to make fun of illinformed celebrities.

It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream

Local talent lounges at Tidemark As autumn rolls in, the Tidemark Theatre’s feature of local talent kicks off in its lobby tomorrow.

With minimal effort, the lobby is transfor med into a vintage inspired lounge.

Candles and twinkly lights set an intimate mood, but the talent of the local musicians is what set the scene for a comfortable evening with friends while the rain falls outside. This week is no exception with the musical musings of locals Brodie Dawson, Fiftieth Parallel, and Andreas Eggenberger.

Eggenberger was bor n in Campbell River but his family ventured over to Switzerland when he was seven.

He’s been educated in classical and jazz music and has performed in different trio’s and ensembles.

After highschool Eggenberger moved back to his birth town of Campbell River where he picked up an old guitar and learned how to play and write his own compositions. Accomplishments include winning a Vancouver Island song writing competition which led to perfor mances at the Vancouver Island Music Festival and the Tidemark Theatre.

Fiftieth Parallel is one of three acts performing in the Tidemark’s Lounge Series tomorrow night. The series runs every Thursday until Nov. 22.

He has been performing locally for years at different venues and events.

Fiftieth Parallel are local boys who have caused quite a stir with their unique slap-style guitar. Filled with heavy harmonics and intricate grooves, their music will keep your heart thrumming away to the beat of their drum. They’ve opened for the likes of Shane Phillip, Delhi 2 Dublin, and the Mindil

Beach Markets. Cruising around in their 1986 camper van was their main method of transport over the past summer while playing at The Big Time Out and Rhythm on the Rock. Their debut album Weapon of the Future was released in 2011 and they are busy in the studio working on their next album With Brodie Dawson, It’s her voice that jumps out at you… she makes a clear, direct

hit and seduces you with a smoky overtone. She has a beautiful, clear voice and communicates so very well, the honesty and emotion of her down to earth lyrics. Her refreshingly peaceful and sensual personality pours out and lathers the soul with the mood of each song, leaving a clean finish and plenty of imagination for those who appreciate a heartfelt songwriter’s work.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the music starts at 7 p.m. It is an all ages licensed event and admission is by donations. All donations go directly into the pockets of the musicians. All costs are donated by the Tidemark Theatre in an effort to bring the community back into the heart of the Tidemark.

Vancouver Island Real Estate Board supports NIC students Three local students recently became the first recipients of two major BC real estate organizations’ generous donation to the North Island College Foundation.

In February 2011, in celebration of its 60th Anniversary, Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) in partnership with Real Estate Foundation of BC (REFBC), established an endowment fund for NIC students.

“This award was established to financially support the educational dreams of North Island College students, allowing them to build a solid future for themselves and their northern Vancouver Island communities,” explains Darrell Paysen, Manager Member Services at VIREB. “Our intention was to annually award three bursaries to students attending NIC in the areas of Business Administration and constructionrelated trades and apprenticeship training.”

Nicholas Lade, Lane Pearson, and Candace Pisto each received $860 towards their NIC tuition at a Foundation

awards ceremony held September 13 in the Comox Valley. The award’s value continues to grow over time.

Lade is a dedicated lifelong learner. A member of the Rotary Club interested in bolstering the tourism industry in the Valley, he is completing his Bachelor of Business Administration, General Management degree and would like to find a way to enhance the local economy and keep the youth here on the Island.

Upon completing his Electronics Core program, Lane Pearson wishes to continue his education in the Industrial Automation program, offered at NIC’s Campbell River campus.

Pearson is confident that his schooling from NIC has given him the edge that is needed to launch a successful career in the trades.

Having already completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature with a history minor from Trinity Western University, Candace Pisto is now working towards a post-degree diploma in Business Administration at North

Island College. A full-time student and mother, Pisto is also working part time at the Comox Valley campus library while working towards her goal of becoming an administrator.

The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board represents approximately 1,000 REALTORS® in more than 80 offices within the Board’s jurisdiction. VIREB’s region runs from the Malahat in the south to the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

Established in 1991, the North Island College Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting North Island College in its task to provide the skills and knowledge students need for successful employment and further education.

The Foundation’s primary objective is to provide student scholarships and bursaries, as well as operating equipment and educational resources.

For further information about the North Island College Foundation, please call Beth Turner at 250-334-5000 ext 4267 or visit www.nic. bc.ca/

B.C.’s International Representatives come to town Representatives are hitting the road to continue their tour of communities and regions throughout the province.

The seven-day, autumn road show will see the eight international representatives travel to the Kootenays, the Northeast and Northern Vancouver Island.

This is the fourth road show and completes a cross- province tour, allowing the international reps to build partnerships and relationships with B.C. businesses and communities in key regions and sectors, including natural gas, mining, biomass and technology.

The road show will include the eight heads of British Columbia’s Trade and Investment Representative Offices from

Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Bangalore, San Francisco and London.

It includes dialogues with businesses, municipalities and First Nations groups about opportunities they have internationally and government services they can access to make the most of this province’s natural advantages as outlined in Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan.

Government trade and investment services include the B.C. Business Network, a directory of suppliers and exporters, and the newly launched Opportunities BC website, a searchable online database that serves as the official portal for international investors to explore opportunities in our communities.

Opening and expanding international markets for the province’s goods and services is one of the pillars of the BC Jobs Plan.

Also the B.C. government has committed to doubling its overseas presence

by March of 2013 to accelerate trade and direct foreign investment by marketing the province’s competitive advantages and world-class business environment.

The International Trade and Investment Representatives make local introductions to potential buyers, investors and other in-market partners.

They help companies identify opportunities and offer assistance in making the right investment decisions.

For example, the B.C. government’s

Trade and Investment Representative in Shanghai, John MacDonald, has just completed an investment road show across East China, holding wellattended events in Ningbo, Nanjing and Shanghai.

Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Responsible for Labour sys, “We want businesses and communities throughout British Columbia to have access to the B.C. government’s services and to get the guidance they need to open new international markets and create more jobs for B.C. families.

By sending the International Trade and Investment Representatives to B.C.’s regions, we’re making it easier for busi-

September 20, 1968 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 14, 2012 It is with broken hearts, that we say goodbye to a most loved man. Father to Amber, Eric & Lilly, Husband to Selena, Son to Linda Bledsoe (Homer) & Bernie Wojewski (deceased), cherished brother & friend to many.

Known for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;no excusesâ&#x20AC;? work ethic, Stefan defined himself by working hard his whole life, the goal being to live and provide a good life for his family.

Stefan endured so much the last 2 years battling a brutal rare cancer.

He was an inspiration, the toughest, strongest man youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever be lucky enough to know. Through it all, he always tried to be positive and â&#x20AC;&#x153;doâ&#x20AC;? for everyone else.

He loved to be at home always â&#x20AC;&#x153;puttinâ&#x20AC;? outside with a project to work on. Even though he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to admit it, Stefan loved a good piece of gossip and could spend more time on the phone than a woman!

He loved to have a good time, would give the shirt off his back to a friend and was easily pleased with a whiskey & cigarette!

Service to be held at a later date on Vancouver Island. Prince George Funeral Service in care of arrangements. Messages of condolence can be sent to the family at www.princegeorgefuneralhome.com

Southern, Elisa Southern, Elisa 2012 19, 2012 February -October 7, 1918 - 19, October Elisa passed away peacefully with family by her side in Campbell River, on Friday, October 19, 2012 at the age of 94.

Predeceased by husband John C., son Jack W., and daughter Angela. Elisa is survived by children, David (Shelly) and Julia Angela, (Bruce); grandchildren, Joshua, Sarah, Lisa, Jack Jr., Salina, David Jr., and Shane; great grandchildren, Kiedis, Sephra, Lexi, Leah and Layn; as well as nieces and nephews.

Born in Verona, Italy, Elisa lived in Venice then moved to the countryside . She left Italy in 1947 to work in England, then eventually moved to Canada in 1951 to work in the hospital in Nanaimo. It was here she met and married husband John. The family moved to Campbell River in 1958 and there they stayed.

Elisa loved country living and the family had a small acreage where Elisa grew vegetables, fruit and raised chickens to help support her family. She loved nature and was always busy at home but never too busy to spend time with friends who would come to visit. Well loved, she touched so many lives.

A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00pm, Saturday, October 27, 2012 from Christian Life Fellowship Church, 445 Merecroft Road. Condolences may be forwarded to the family at www. suttonsfuneralhome.com

Get on the fast track to a new career in 38 Weeks Campbell River- There’s a desperate need for Health Care Assistants in Campbell River. In fact, B.C.’s healthcare sector has grown by 28% since 1997 and employers are struggling to fill vacancies. Much of the demand is due to increases in the senior population. Health Care Assistants provide personal care, companionship and other important medical support services.

| CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2012

Planning dream vacations a dream job in itself For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves!

Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job.

The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – including occupations that lead to longerterm careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire.

British Columbiaʼs tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industryʼs human resource association.

The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012

by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements).

“The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province.

Without it, we simply wouldnʼt have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia.

British Columbiaʼs location, bordered by the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, makes it

Arlene Keis (right), CEO of go2 Ian Powell Board Chair with Minister Pat Bell (left). unique within Canada.

Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination. Tourism helps to diversify our economy and also brings new community services to permanent residents.

BCʼs tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the

province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture.

Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent. The provincial governmentʼs Gaining the Edge: A Five-year

7x7

BC JOBS

Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016. The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services.

There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.ʼs total

labour force of 2.4 million people.

More than 80 per cent of tourismʼs new job openings are projected to come in Food and Beverage Services (43,410 openings), Recreation and Entertainment (20,530 openings) and the Accommodation sector (18,920 openings).

“After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Officer of go2.

“Labour shortages are already being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province.”

“The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth,

with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”

“This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industryʼs future labour needs,” said Keis.

Boomer Gaye Dolezal of Sidney, BC says “Working part-time in Tourism Information was a fun way for me to use my great knowledge of Canadian cities. I often astounded visitors with the connections I could make to their hometowns.” She adds “People like to feel like welcome guests, not just tourists.”

North Island Rage win double header The U16 North Island field lacrosse team, sponsored by Saratoga Ventures, hosted the Pac Rim team from Victoria for a double header recently.

The North Island Rage moved the ball well in the first quarter, with midfielders Brady Garrett and Ryan Beauchamp finding Tanner Jones on attack for some early chances.

The Rage scored first, with Jordan Balon feeding Graham Evans cutting across the crease and putting it away.

In an unusually lowscoring game, Alec Molander got the only goal of the second quarter with a laser from ten yards out.

Molander scored again in the third quarter on a power play. Bailey Robinson’s face-off prowess and Anthony Vigneron’s speed in the transition kept the Pac Rim boys scrambling.

Evans found Jory Clermont with some space and he scored the fourth and final goal in a 4-0 win for the North Island team.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

The North Island Wild Ravens U12 field lacrosse team was in tough against their opponents from Victoria Sunday morning at Robron Park.

Big sticks Nathan Hoff, Colton Edwards, Roy Uzzel and Taylor Arbor did a masterful

job of minimizing Pac Rim’s scoring opportunities. Sal Burchill, a box goalie who has

made the transition to field this year, has been nothing short of spectacular all season

and earned a welldeserved shut-out.

The second game saw North Island win 9-4

in a more typical field lacrosse game, with goals by Ryan Smith (2), Molander (2),

Balon, Griffin Whyley, Evans, Adam Mason and Kyle Maximick.

Beauchamp and Marshall Pay from the U14 team came up for the day and looked completely at home with the faster, older boys.

Also on Sunday, despite adverse weather conditions, the North Island Rage supported by Jackson and Associates played hard but lost their first games of the season to Vic Field 1 Team from Victoria.

The Rage ran hard and put in their best effort during both games.

The Rage are heading to Richmond for the third Annual Road Runner Romp tournament from November 9-12.

They are hitting the streets this week and next to collect bottles to fundraise for the tournament, so keep your bottles handy.

North Island Field Lacrosse has been a successful blending of Campbell River and Comox Valley players and the team would like to thank its sponsor, coaches and fans.

Christian School volleyball girls reach several milestones The Campbell River Christian School senior girls volleyball team are currently ranked tenth in the province for Single A schools. The team is having a great year, and hope to return to Provincials like last year.

Last weekend, the team placed seventh out of 16 teams at the Mark Isfeld/Vanier Tourney, the best ever result for the school at that tournament. Christian School defeated

Red squirrel taken in by M.A.R.S. is thriving Fall is a time for collecting and harvesting food for the long winter ahead. This is especially important for many wildlife species whose survival depends upon the food supplies they have gathered.

This summer M.A.R.S. rescued five baby squirrels that were only a few days old and had just opened their eyes when their tree nest was destroyed; we suspect the mother died along with three of the babies. Ultimately only one baby survived the ordeal being hand fed, weaned and provided with a habitat that replicated the wild.

Red squirrels are part of the family of “Rodentia” and there are 365 species worldwide that also include Prairie dogs and chipm u n k s. T h e m o s t common squirrels on southern Vancouver Island are the eastern

grey (including the black) North American red, only found on the North Island, the Douglas squirrel and the flying squirrel. Squirrels are opportunistic feeders and this has helped them maintain healthy populations; unfortunately there have been sightings of the grey squirrel in our area which will eventually lead to a decline of our native red squirrel. Red squirrels have rusty red coats that are shed twice a year; their bellies are buff coloured. Their most distinguishing feature is their coal black eyes that are circled with white. Grey squirrel do not have highlighted eyes and their bellies are white. Although the red squirrel tails are bushy, they are not as full as the grey, the tails are used for balance when jumping or climbing through the trees.

accompanied by foot stamping and tail jerking. They enjoy a variety of foods including, nuts, fruits, green pine cones, fungi, insects, birds and eggs. Pine cones will be buried in damp soil and the nuts and seeds in “middens” to sustain them through the winter.

One wonders how they remember where they have stored all their goodies; quite simply they mark the locations with their scent enabling them to find the exact spot of the

“According to my calculations, if I can make some money at a real job, plus my allowance, then . . .”

The red squirrel is native to our area.

These animals are very agile with powerful hind legs and curved front claws that enable them to hang upside down on branches or run down tree trunks.

Front feet are used to hold on to their food and are very dextrous rotating the nuts and seeds to retrieve the fruit inside. Very vocal, squirrels can clearly be heard throughout the forest as they ward off predators. Their chatter includes growls, screeches, buzzes and chirps that are often

“oh so cute”, they can be a pest if they decide to get into your attic or basement to escape the cold, they will happily chew through wood and wires that can create a household problem. Do not handle squirrels; they do have very sharp teeth and claws. Please be on the lookout for non native grey squirrels (very bushy tails and no white eye liner), they have been seen in our area and we would appreciate a call if you see one.

These squirrels are very aggressive and prolific and could potentially lead to the decline and disappearance of the native red squirrel, in addition they are destroying the endangered native Garry oak ecosystems.

Creativity hits the runway

Scene & Heard

The Campbell River Art Gallery hosted its annual Wearable Art Fashion Show and Silent Auction last Saturday night.

Area artists had their creations on display and the fashions, made from Lucky beer bottle caps, to playing cards, to pieces of sewing patterns, didn’t disappoint. Throw in some beautiful choreography and models and the show was a hit. Local artists also contributed their works of art to raise money for the Art Gallery. Sandy Baker was a main sponsor of the event.

Above, Sophia Isaac Baker of Alert Bay models the Queen of Hearts piece designed by Laykin Noonan of Campbell River. Below, Sonya Noonan models her creation made of candy bar wrappers.

Clockwise from top left, Meghan Dutot models artist Amanda Smetana’s creation made of brown paper bags on top and vintage sewing patterns on the bottom. Elsa Das Neves of Quadra show offs the Bird Woman Takes Flight piece by artists Rowan Kehn and Julie Glaspy. Melanie Hartlen of Quadra models Kehn and Glaspy’s piece Iron Warrior.

Campbell River Sweet Tease burlesque’s Cherry Hot Sauce snaps her whip while modeling The Bickle Dress designed by Smetana.

Face-to-face with the wide, wonderous web of life A – Weather Family All P Place is taking it o outside!

We expect t get windblown to a wet from time and t time, but we will to u understand more a about how the n natural world looks a feels when and w are right there we e experiencing it. We w understand will s something new a about ourselves i experiencing in an environment without walls, ceilings, or a controlled temperature. We’re going to look around for evidence of what is out there and what it’s doing. Dick Murphy Park has so much to offer us. There is the estuary, the geese, the paths, and the slugs off to one side. On the other side of Tyee Spit is the ocean, the beach, and the crabs.

10 Things to Do With Your Baby When There is Nothing To Do Have you ever found yourself just staring at your baby and wondering “what do I do with you now”? You can’t go kick around a soccer ball, or pull out the paints, or teach her to throw a slider. But the ways you interact with her now will build the base you both need in order to have a strong relationship later on. So just doing anything with your baby is teaching her she matters to you. Here are ten things you can do when it seems like there is nothing else to do . . .

1. Go for a house tour. Look out each window and into each mirror, click on the lights, check out the artwork. Talk about what you see.

2. Put on music and dance while holding your baby.

3. Make a mobile by hanging bright objects from a hanger. Hang it where your baby can bat at it.

4. Just for kicks lie him on his back and hold out things that make an interesting noise when he kicks them: a newspaper, aluminum foil or a set of car keys.

5. Sing a song or say a rhyme and move your baby’s arms to do the actions.

Research, and probably our own experience, is telling us that our children are living more “hot-house tomato” lives than ever before. Concerns about supervision, health, and easy access, along with a plethora of entertaining activities inside our homes and around the community, are keeping us indoors.

Evidence is mounting that the further our lives slip away from the natural world, the greater the risks become to our personal health and well-being.

6. Play peekaboo. Put a dish towel over his head and say,“Where’s Mikey?” Maybe he will pull it off. If not, pull it off for him: “There he is!”

Let’s celebrate together the marvels we have at our doorsteps. Fathers and mothers have things to share that can’t have the same thrill coming from a book or video. Together we can give our children all the benefits that come from the powerful experience of being hands-on, face-to-face with the wide, wonderous web of life. Meet us on Wednesdays at Dick Murphy Park, Tyee Spit. Family Place will be there from 9:30 am until about 10:45 am up to November 28th.

9. Kitchen concert. When he’s old enough to sit up, give him a plastic or wooden spoon and let him bang on some pots.

7. Let her grab your thumbs when she’s lying down, and then holding onto her wrists, pull her up gently. Does she try to stand up?

8. Water play. Put her in the high chair, put a little bit of water in the tray and let her splash.

10. Get a container – a shoe box, old purse or small bag – fill it with a variety of small safe objects and toys. Let your baby pull them out.

Got any more ideas?

WE CARE about1/2your child’s success.

The Continued Child Care Crisis in BC Families across BC and Canada are facing a crisis in childcare, things are going from bad to worse. There is a shortage of regulated spaces, fees are high and the early childhood workforce is underpaid with many Early Childhood Educators leaving the field to earn a living wage elsewhere.

In BC there are licensed child care spaces for only about 20 per cent of children. That is only 1 in 5 regulated spaces!

The cost of childcare is high often being the second highest cost for a family after housing. The provincial median monthly cost for infant/toddler care is $875; for preschool care, ages 2.5-5 years is $665; and for school-age care is $300. Unlike other community services, childcare is primarily a user fee system. The fees families pay account for 70-80% of a child care centre’s revenue. The remaining revenues come from small government grants and fundraising. It can cost a family as much or more to pay for childcare from birth to school-age entry as it does to pay for university degree program. There are no RESP’s (registered education savings plan) for childcare!

" Public spending on the early years is a wise social and economic investment; " Quality child care is early learning; " High quality early years programs promote healthy development; " Children and families need, and have the right to, quality care and learning; and " Current policies and approaches are not working.

Early Childhood Educators who generally have 2 years of college- training are underpaid and typically have no health or pension benefits. After 5 years of working in the field approximately 50 per cent leave the field to find better paying jobs.

The highlights of the Plan include: " New legislation….a BC Early Care and Learning Act " A new home for child care in the Ministry of Education " A new role for Boards of Education " The development of Early Years Centre Networks " Enhancing Kindergarten and Grade one " Strengthening School-age Care and Family Child Care " Developing the Early Childhood Educators’ workforce " Lower fees - $10 per full day/ $7 for half day and free for families with a yearly income of less than $40,000

Here in BC two non-profit grassroots organizations, the Early Childhood Educators of BC and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC have come together to propose to our government an innovative and ambitious way forward in terms of the childcare crisis.

The majority of Early Childhood Educators support this plan and we are asking the Campbell River and area community members for their support too. Yes, this plan is ambitious and it may take a generation to come to fruition. We need to start now so future families can have a system which supports them.

The Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning is in response to BC’s implementation of full school day kindergarten for 5 year olds as well as to the promise made by our government of some form of pre-kindergarten programming for children age 3 and 4 along with the crises facing childcare as mentioned above.

Childcare has been affected by full school day kindergarten. We know that if the BC government rolls out a plan for 3 and 4 year olds without taking the existing fragile childcare centres across BC into consideration, we may have no option but to close our doors. Please take a few minutes and endorse the Plan at www.ecebc.ca

The Plan is built upon well-established research that clearly shows that:

Fathers can develop a strong bond with their children: • start the connection with your baby as early as you can - even before she is born • the most important experiences for a baby’s brain are ordinary ones - being carried, fed, bathed, diapered, getting outside, playing peek-a-boo, or hearing loving, caring words • do things together with your baby - take him shopping, go to the park, listen to music, visit some friends

The importance of touch • touch is one way you communicate your feelings to your baby • touch stimulates a baby’s brain in ways that help your child deal with stress and strong feelings throughout her life • touch needs to be loving, caring and gentle • being held, carried, stroked, massaged, or even sleeping on your chest are all ways to touch your child

Emotional Development • Comfort your child when he is upset. But be aware that you can’t control your child’s feelings.

• Allow your child to feel the way she feels. Try not to say things like, “Don’t be silly!” to a child who is angry, afraid or sad.

• Use feeling words when your child is emotional. “You’re really frustrated, aren’t you?” “II can ttell yyou’re really excited about seeing your cousins!”

• Be patient. Children learn to handle emotions gradually. At times their emotional responses will seem mature. Other times, they will be immature.

• Model good emotional management. Children learn a lot from the way you handle emotions.

Building Brains Through Play • play gets the brain working - it gets children interested in things.

• play helps develop language skills - reading, rhymes, and tickling games help a baby connect words with sounds.

• play can be a way for a child to participate in life - babies learn about the world by watching and copying you.

• play gives an opportunity for problem-solving and learning - by trying new things babies learn their abilities and limitations.

• play is meant to be fun - play is one thing that makes childhood enjoyable and interesting

How Can I Help My Child with Anger?

When children utter the words: “Mine!” and “No!” parents often brace themselves for an angry outburst. Any parent who has tried to reason with a three year old knows just how little logic matters in the face of a child’s fury. So how can we help small children control their anger?

We can start by helping them stop and find the words they need. Use your words, is an old refrain, but let’s look carefully at why it helps. When we hear the imperious declaration “Mine!” and see a child try to grab a toy from her playmate, we can intervene, stop the grabbing and narrate: “You really, really want that dolly and feel mad that someone else has it.” If you are on the right track, the child may add to your narrative and elaborate on it saying things like, “and I had it first. And it’s my most favourite one!”

Just getting the child to articulate her angry feelings counts as a step forward.

The goal is to help children express rather than act out feelings. Parents help by being both firm and understanding. They can also help by talking about their own feelings. If the family pet has gone on a chewing rampage, a parent might model, “Oh, I get so frustrated when that puppy eats our shoes!” The child will both observe how the parent handles anger and learn how to name feelings.. In helping your child to pause and find words, you teach them to resist the impulse to act. And that “pause” is the beginning of impulse control, of being able to stop. Children, who make a habit of “pausing” will, over time, gain control of their anger and their impulsivity and be able to negotiate difficult moments with grace.

A world exists, 1/4 outside of your home, where your child is precious.

Your child will spend valuable time with adults who truly enjoy their company ...with adults who listen to your child’s ideas and stories ...with adults who turn and look your child in the eyes when they are speaking.

We believe this is how children grow.

The Campbell River Child Care Society believes in the power of child care programs to support and enrich the lives of families and the development of children.

We are proud of our practices and live our motto: Child Care - We Care ...... for over 45 years.

StrongStart A FREE, school-based early learning program for children from 0 to 6.

Under the direction of licensed early childhood educators, parents and children participate in early learning activities, such as story time, music, singing, art and puzzles. Children gain problem-solving skills, and build self-esteem and the social skills that will help them when they enter school. Parents learn activities that they can do at home to further support their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning, nutrition, and make valuable connections with other parents or caregivers.
