Salmon farmers put brave face on chilling report BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Campbell River-based B.C. Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) is putting a brave face on the chilling findings of the Cohen Commission, while environmentalists celebrate what they see as

a significant blow to fish farming in the area of the Discovery Islands. BCSFA board member Clare Backman told the Mirror Thursday the association “does not see the report as investment chilling.” “There is a big difference

between what we read and what the commentators are saying,” he said. “There is no science of fish farm harm, but there is a lot of evidence of public concern. We see this as an opportunity to work with the federal government, the regulators and the NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) to

satisfy those concerns. “Our members are committed to farming responsibly and that commitment will continue as we move forward in light of these recommendations,” Backman added. “It’s important that we continue with the important social and economic role we

play in the coastal communities of B.C. while protecting our natural environment.” Another BCSFA board member, Stewart Hawthorn, said: “We know that the fish on our farms are healthy and Justice Bruce Cohen has acknowledged the impressive data we made available. We are committed to protecting the marine environment and our iconic wild salmon and we support the call for further research in this small farming area.” But the recommendations in the final report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of the Fraser River Sockeye go way beyond a call for more research. Former B.C. Supreme Court Justice Cohen has called for a freeze on new salmon farms in the Discovery Islands. Even though celebrity biologist Alexandra Morton described her testimony before the commission more than a year ago as “a depressing experience,” it appears that Justice Cohen Continued on A3

Freeze on fish farm expansion urged JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

The Cohen Inquiry is urging an immediate eight-year freeze on new net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands between northern Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland. Farms in that area should be prohibited outright in 2020 if the Department of Fisheries and Oceans cannot confidently say by then the risk to wild salmon from aquaculture there is minimal, the inquiry’s threevolume report says, and the ban should be immediate if evidence of elevated risk arises sooner. No single culprit – not fish farms, overfishing, pollution, natural predators or global warming – gets primary blame for the two-decade decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon. And while commission head and retired Justice Bruce Cohen said he saw “no smoking gun” in the evidence he heard, key

recommendations aim to limit the possible threat from aquaculture. “Mitig ation measures should not be delayed in the absence of scientific certainty,” Cohen said, adding farms in the Discovery Islands of Johnstone Strait have potential to introduce exotic diseases and aggravate existing ones in wild fish. He also recommended DFO no longer be charged with promoting the salmon farming industry to prevent “divided loyalties” or conflicts of interest from compromising its duty to defend wild fish. “As long as DFO has a mandate to promote salmon farming, there is a risk that it will act in a manner that favours the interests of the salmon farming industry over the health of wild stocks.” Critics have accused DFO of siding with the aquaculture industry while failing to protect wild stocks amid years of budget cuts and mismanagement.

The industry contends it’s the victim of a vendetta by environmentalists who have alleged far m-linked virus infections in B.C. salmon that federal food inspectors have refuted. If Cohen’s recommendations are followed, existing farms i n t h e D i s c ove r y Islands could continue operations – unless the fisheries minister decides before 2020 that they pose a “more than minimal risk of serious harm” to migrating Fraser sockeye. DFO should draw up new siting criteria for fish farms that take into account Fraser sockeye mig ration routes and the latest evidence on the risks to them, Cohen said. “If existing salmon farms do not comply with revised siting criteria they should be promptly removed or relocated.” B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman Stewart Hawthorn said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are located in the Discovery Islands and

predicted the recommendations will have very limited impact on the industry. “He’s particularly concerned about one small area,” he said. “We’re very happy to do more research there. Our farming practices are second to none.” While the inquiry findings were being prepared, the federal government this year significantly downgraded habitat protection laws and is now planning cuts to frontline DFO biologists. Cohen warned Ottawa further cuts to DFO are dangerous to B.C.’s iconic salmon species and run counter to his key finding that much more research is needed. “The shrinking resources of government, which may result in delays in implementing reforms and research, mean that the stressors to which sockeye are exposed and the deterioration of sockeye habitat will continue,” he said in the report. He also criticized Ottawa’s move to alter

agreed with the position she espoused that precaution should trump evidence. In a blog blast to her followers Thursday, she shared the “good news” and “incredibly strong wording” in the report. She wrote: “The Cohen report (states that) salmon far ms have the potential to import exotic viruses and amplify endemic ones. There should be an immediate freeze on farm salmon production on the Fraser sockeye mig ration route. DFO should be relieved of their duty to promote salmon farms.” During the Cohen hearings more than a year ago, Morton maintained that “the pattern of the Fraser sockeye collapse...is so stark I do not know how anyone could avoid applying the precautionary principle to this situation immediately. Only the sockeye that closely passed salmon farms collapsed.” In her blog Morton

the environmental assessment process for major projects like oil pipelines. Cohen called last spring’s legislative amendments “troubling” and said they appear to take DFO “in a very different direction” from the advice of many experts in the field to protect fish habitat and promote biodiversity. T h e re p o r t s ay s sources of stress specific to the Fraser – such as pollution and development – have likely played a role in the decline. But he said troubled fisheries beyond the Fraser system suggest broader problems in marine waters play a big role. “I heard enough evidence about warming waters to conclude that climate change is a significant stres-

sor for sockeye and in combination with other stressors, may determine the fate of the fishery.” Cohen also urged the implementation of the 2005 Wild Salmon Policy and provisions for no net loss of habitat. L e a d i n g c o n s e rvationists said they would have preferred an immediate aquaculture ban but most hailed the report. “He obviously didn’t hear enough to say ‘Get the nets out of the water,’” said Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson. “But I think he came pretty close to saying that.” She said the report offers a “solid plan” to restore Fraser salmon runs – if the federal gover nment implements it and stops gutting research and habitat protection pro-

visions. “We have an ecologically ignorant federal government right now, so I’m wary,” Wilhelmson said. “Anyone who has skin in the game of sockeye salmon on the Fraser River has to put public pressure on this government in Ottawa to make sure this report gets legs and keeps moving,” added Sto:lo fisheries advisor Ernie Crey. “Or else it will surely sit on a shelf.” The inquiry heard from more than 170 witnesses and sifted through more than 2,000 reports or other pieces of evidence. Cohen was appointed by the federal gover nment after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009, far fewer than the more than 10 million expected.

Giving Campbell River’s past a future KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council has endorsed a city heritage program that includes three different levels of protection. The city established a Community Heritage Register in 2008 to give heritage status to the Sybil Andrews Cottage, but the program has been somewhat idle up until now. L a s t y e a r, To m McKenzie of the Willow Point Lions Club approached the city to request the Willow Point Hall be put on the Heritage Register. After a year of negotiations, council voted last week to have the old hall join the Sybil Andrews property on the register. That prompted city staff to come to council with a recommendation that the city implement a heritage program with a threepronged approach. “Creating a heritage program provides local gover nment with a recognized method of organizing and recog-

nizing the community’s heritage resources,” said Michele Sirett, the city’s recreation and culture supervisor, in a report to council. “Recognizing and preserving community heritage inspires a strong sense of pride and belonging in a community and raises community awareness around the local history and culture.” The proposed heritage program allows the city to group heritage sites into one of three categories, with different levels of protection. At the lower end of the spectrum is the Community Heritage Inventory, which informally identifies heritage resources, but provides no protection from alterations or demolition. Up a level is the Community Heritage Register, which formally identifies heritage values. However, similar to the Heritage Inventory, properties on the register do not have protection. To put a

property on the Heritage Register, council must vote in favour of a resolution to do so and a Statement of Significance is required detailing the heritage value of the site. Also requiring a Statement of Significance is Community Heritage Designation, the highest level of the heritage program, which ensures longter m protection of a heritage resource through a city bylaw. To be given heritage designation, a Statement of Significance is required, as is a Heritage Designation bylaw and public hearings. Next steps for the city are developing a website and brochure to promote the heritage program, and to establish Statements of Significance for landmarks or buildings that would like to join the heritage program. The advantage to a property owner is easy access to heritage funding grants through senior levels of government and heritage organizations.

This undated photography of the Willow Point Hall shows the building as it used to be, before Willow Point was filled in around the hall. The Willow Point Hall was recently added to the Community Heritage Register, part of the city’s new heritage program.

Coun. Larry Samson said the city will work towards adding to the heritage program. “Staff are now going to be working on an inventory of heritage buildings in Camp-

bell River, which is a great thing – to protect heritage buildings like Haig-Brown House,” said Samson, who added a heritage site does not have to be a building. “One thing

they’re talking about is Big Rock down at the water because it has significance to our First Nations – the placement of the rock and how it got there.” Sirett said she expects

the majority of the heritage sites, such as Big Rock, “will be recognized at the inventory level and only a select few resources will make the designation level.”

Felons at work on Shopper’s Row

p.m. a gas station employee in the 1300 block of Shopper’s Row was confronted by a person armed with a knife who demanded money. A small amount of cash was taken and the suspect fled north bound on

foot. The suspect is described as 5’9” with a slim build wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and blue jeans. On the 25th in the 1000 block of Shopper’s Row a citizen was pushed to the ground and

had an undisclosed amount of cash stolen. The suspect, described as 5’9” with a stocky build wearing a dark hoody fled from the area on foot. Anyone with information about either of these crimes is asked to contact Campbell River RCMP or Crimestoppers. In the same week the Campbell River RCMP responded to 253 calls for service of which 16 involved citizens and 28 were property related. Police stopped eight drinking drivers including two who were charged with impaired driving. Three others received 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions and another three were issued 24-hour roadside suspensions.

Amanda’s fate gets Island teens talking BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

In the wake of the suicide of Grade 10 Coquitlam student Amanda Todd Vancouver Island teens are increasing their use of crisis line resources. Heather Owen, Comm u n i t y Re l a t i o n s Coordinator of the Crisis Line Association of B.C., says there has been a noticeable increase in calls to crisis lines on the Island. “It’s like a light turning on,” she says. “Teens seem to be more aware that there are resources out there and that it is a good thing when they put those resources in play.” Owen says that teens using social media have tended to be there for their friends but not stray out of their teen networks to seek help. Amanda has changed that, she says. The association coordinator says one example of a young person reaching out for help because of the Amanda Todd case occurred in Nanaimo where a teen used the TNT (Teens Networking Together) app to warn authorities about a distressed teen in the Fraser Valley. TNT is a joint project of the Crisis Society of Central Vancouver Island, the RCMP and School District #68 that is in its second year.

Crisis Line Association of B.C. says there has been a noticeable increase in calls to crisis lines on Vancouver Island. “Amanda has touched services crisis lines ly i n g , d e p re s s i o n , These services can be thousands of people provide.” thoughts of suicide reached through www. and raised the issue of T h e Va n c o u v e r and other issues.

SD 72 requests seismic upgrade for Phoenix KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

School District 72â€™s five-year wish list has some ambitious projects on it that include making one more local school ear thquake

proof. The Board of Education approved the districtâ€™s five-year capital plan at a board meeting Oct. 16 which outlines funding requests from the B.C. Ministry of Education for five

different projects. Topping the list is a heating and ventilation upgrade at Pinecrest Elementary and the replacement of four school buses. Next on the list is a $6.1 million seismic project at Phoe-

nix middle school. Although the school district would love to have all the projects funded, only some â€“ or even none â€“ will likely be approved. â€œOur request for funding for the school district capital projects doesnâ€™t mean they will be funded but it helps the ministry with understanding our priorities,â€? said Kevin Patrick, the districtâ€™s secretary treasurer. â€œThe ministry will then take a list of pri-

orities from all the districts and decide what projects will be allocated funding. Thereâ€™s a good chance none of the projects will be approved but weâ€™re always hopeful at least one will be approved.â€? The Phoenix project would be upgrading the school to meet the ministryâ€™s seismic standards which are in place to ensure schools can withstand a powerful earthquake. Carihi and Southgate are the only district

72 schools that have undergone seismic upgrading while Timberline was built to seismic standards. Patrick said Phoenix was deemed the next priority on the list according to the ministry, but itâ€™s not a top priority when compared to schools across B.C. â€œThere have been facility reviews done for seismic standards and right now itâ€™s not a high or medium priority, itâ€™s a lower

priority as per the ministryâ€™s plan,â€? Patrick said. â€œBut it is something weâ€™d like to see done. We donâ€™t have a timeline for it, but we requested it in year three. It would be our hope to see it approved.â€? Rounding out the districtâ€™s capital plan wish list are repairs to the building envelope at the school board office on Pinecrest Road and the installation of new fire sprinkler systems at several schools.

Rezoning hearing to be held on city’s newest purchase KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Residents can have their say into the city’s most recent waterfront property purchase next week when the city hosts its own public hearing. The city will accept short presentations from the public, with a speakers list available before and during the hearing on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at city hall. The meeting revolves around the city’s Oct. 1 purchase of land and a vacant house along the Island Highway. “The city purchased the property at 503 Island Highway as part of the long-range parks plan,” said Dave Morris, the city’s facilities manager. “The waterfront property was purchased at its appraised value of $360,000.” The city drew on reserves to purchase the property in a bid to expand Sequoia Park, which is across from the museum and boasts a Japanese Torii Gate – a 10th anniversary marker of the partnership between Campbell River and its sister city, Ishikari. The city’s new waterfront property is beside a second vacant city parcel of land next to Sequoia Park and the purchase falls in line with the Strategic Parks Plan, endorsed by council in 2006. The plan recommended the city’s parks acquisition over the next ten years should focus on waterfront property, with an emphasis on linear parks to support completion of a waterfront trails system. As part of a February 2006 survey sent to 900 randomly selected households, residents were asked what they valued most about the 3 NEWS 3 SPORTS 3 BUSINESS 3 ENTERTAINMENT 3 COMMUNITY 3 LIFESTYLES 3 OPINION campbellrivermirror.com

city’s parks system. The highest ranked priority in the public survey was for public access to waterfront, and for trail access in general. The city has committed to purchasing existing waterfront homes and properties when able in order to turn them into public use areas.

Next week’s public hearing is to gather input on the re-zoning of the Island Highway property from Residential One to Public Areas One. Anyone who would like to speak on the re-zoning can sign up at the public hearing or in advance by calling city hall at 250-2865700.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

This vacant house, and the property it sits on, was purchased by the city earlier this month with the goal of expanding nearby Sequoia Park. The property needs to be re-zoned to turn it into parkland and a public hearing will be held next week.

Our View

When the big one hits we must be prepared This week a provincial government emergency preparedness bureaucrat calmly explained why it took about 50 minutes for his staff to issue a tsunami alert following last Saturday’s 7.7 magnitude quake off Haida Gwaii. We say: Be aware Apparently, here in B.C. we needed that when it does every second of those 50 minutes to go through channels, check and douwe’re all flying ble check to make absolutely sure it was actually an earthquake and not a solo rogue nuclear missile off course. It was a quake for heaven’s sakes. What’s to verify? This information lag bears serious scrutiny in light of the fact that officials with the West Coast Alaska

Tsunami Warning Centre sent out their first tsunami bulletin just minutes after the quake at 8:13 p.m. Then, they upgraded it to a tsunami warning for parts of the West Coast including B.C. three minutes later. Not only that, the Americans confirmed that emergency officials in B.C. were on a West Coast conference call three minutes after the quake. But our emergency muffins did not get around to issuing any sort of tsunami alert or advisory for another 40-plus minutes. This very sad commentary on B.C.’s state of preparedness has reinforced the obvious: In the first minutes and hours of a natural disaster we are all flying solo. Even though we are constantly reassured that

our governments have protocols, plans and resources in place to lessen the devastating impacts of natural disasters, we all know in our hearts that when the big one comes calling we are very much alone. When it comes to taking personal responsibility to the extent possible, the Campbell River St John Ambulance is going the extra mile to help us be as independently prepared as possible. The emergency backpacks the branch is selling for $66 are Provincial Emergency Program approved and very well equipped. There is no way you could assemble the contents of this kit for that price. Do yourselves a favour and put one in your hall closet.

There are worse ferries We don’t usually write about a story but when I saw your piece on the ferry corporation and the bad press about how they operate, I had to respond. We’ve been living on the Island for over nine years now and love it. We could have lived any where in the world but we chose to stay in Canada and we chose the island. I really want to emphasis chose because what we have noticed since coming here was that there are a lot of others who have done the same. We find the life style second to none, the people great and who can complain about this last summer. My beef is with the people who constantly complaining about the ferry costs, the ferry corporation and that because we have to travel or not have to travel to the mainland the someone should pay for our privilege. We have one of the best systems in the world and the most reasonable. You only have to travel to U.S. via blackball ferries out of Victoria to see the difference. An old fleet and a higher price.

Catch a wave and we’re sitting on top of the world

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb @AlstrT editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Consider Campbell River one big experiment in Keynesian economics over the next few years. Here we have a community that used to be driven by big resource production: huge pulp and paper output, massive amounts of lumber, tons of salmon and truckloads of valuable minerals. Salmon Capital of the World? Campbell River was a resource extraction capital. No longer. The mines are still producing, albeit at a reduced rate, but the lumber’s gone, the pulp and paper output is being dismantled as we speak and the fish are depleted. The only thing replacing any of these big-money industries is salmon farming and after Wednesday’s Cohen Inquiry findings, don’t expect

it to reach the potential output it could have. But despite that, the employment outlook for Campbell River over the next few years could be pretty rosy. That’s because two massive construction projects are about to get underway and will generate – and I quote – a “jobs tsunami.” A massive wave of tradespeople, labourers, technicians and, inevitably, engineers will wash upon our shores as work gets underway on the new hospital and the billion-dollar John Hart Dam upgrade by BC Hydro. It will be one great big experiment in government stimulus. Invest government money in infrastructure and the spinoff into the economy is massive, the theory goes. Well, we’re

going to prove or disprove that. Without a doubt, during the life of these construction projects, the Campbell River economy will boom. All those workers – 400 or so on the hospital alone – will result in rental income, property purchases, grocery procurement and everything else to help a modern working Canadian get through their life. The projects will require supply purchases, much of which will be local. For every dollar invested in the projects, the spinoff will be multiplied two, three or more times. The question will be, of course, does it have any staying power beyond the life of the construction projects? The curious thing about this economy is it’s one built on a one shot deal. The

unique thing is it’s a two-shot deal in this case thanks to a lucky convergence of aging infrastructure – a hospital that’s too small and out of date plus a dam that’s too old and doesn’t meet modern earthquake safety standards. Being old and rundown worked in Campbell River’s favour this decade. But what happens after? Will this stimulate more permanent economic activity or do we slip into being a sleepy economic backwater? Will the spinoffs reach a critical mass that attracts investors and services that can feed on themselves rather than on these two projects? Time will tell. Alistair Taylor is editor of the Campbell River Mirror.

Ferries: No one rides for free Continued from A8

totally ran the system and the attitude of the staff was totally different. We have three new ships now servicing us and the old boats still look pretty good. No one rides for free, Iâ€™ve been on some of those boats at different times of the day, month year and they were almost empty, multiply that over the long haul and you can see the money being burned up. The smaller islands are even worse with ridership. Again I emphasize choice. We choose to live here because itâ€™s a great place to live and a great place to raise a family. If you donâ€™t like it here then move to the Lower Mainland and see what that would cost you to raise your family. R Komar Campbell River

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

The Inequality of Living on northern Vancouver Island I have had the opportunity to live in many places within British Columbia and decided over 30 years ago to spend my golden years living in Campbell River. During those years I have noticed a significant change and transformation of the demographics for Campbell River, in such that it is becoming more and more evident we are becoming a retirement community, with just a side order of fishing, mining and forestry. Once our city council members stop wasting their time, and ours, in being toxic they need to move forward on how Campbell River will exist without the mills and industries that were... but I digress because that is a whole other issue. My concerns lie around the inequality for residents living north of the Malahat. Campbell River is the halfway point for Vancouver Island. As everyone living here knows, we are about three hours from Victoria and three hours from Port Hardy. Most residents north of Campbell River come here to utilize a wide abundance of services

that may not be available or provided on the northern part of the Island. This allows Campbell River to be the gateway to the north and yet organizations such as the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) fail to realize or acknowledge that. The population of Vancouver Island is 765,849 and of that only 359,991 (47 per cent) live south of the Malahat. When the majority of the islands population lives north of the Malahat, why is it that Campbell Riverites need to travel three hours (or those in Port Hardy have to travel six hours) south to utilize necessary health services? Why is it that we cannot be provided the same equality or funding that VIHA provides south of the Malahat? In particular, hospice services for end of life. According to a June 2010 press release on VIHAâ€™s website, the Victoria Hospice would be provided a seven year contract of $20 million dollars (this equates to $2.8 million a year), whereas, according to a March 2011 press release, the other nine hospices on the island would only

received a mere $11,700 each. Now does that seem fair to you? Should those of us outside of the greater Victoria area not have the same opportunities to stay close to family members and loved ones when our time is near? A number of years ago Campbell River Hospital had two designated palliative care beds. These beds were put back into general use due to over crowding at that hospital. We now have a new 95-bed hospital on the horizon and again with no concession or promise of palliative care beds. I have heard that VIHA has promised that there will be 42 â€œendâ€? of life beds across the Island and that those beds will be in designated to extended care facilities. According to a news article I recently read in the Comox newspapers; Comox and Campbell River will receive only four tertiary beds and eight hospice beds for the north island. But VIHA will not come out and state where these beds will be located â€“ Comox or Campbell River or both. With Continued on A10

Hospital... Continued from A9

Campbell River as the gateway to the north, and dealing with the larg est g eo g raphical area, it would be an utter shame if we ended up without, again! In looking at the Stats Canada numbers, it shows that Campbell River has approximately 34 per cent of its population age 55 and over, and this does not take into account the communities north of us or Quadra and Cortes Islands, all of whom utilize Campbell River health and hospice services. Wouldn’t it be nice, if we received the same services and opportunities as those who live in the greater Victoria area? And, wouldn’t it be nice if we weren’t pitted against and have to compete against the needs of the Comox Valley? Dale Martel Campbell River

It’s not free trade nor fair trade. It’s fear trade Filed for publication with the Mirror John Duncan, MP Va n c o u ve r I s l a n d North It is very plain to me that this Canada/ China Trade Agreement is a win, win for China and a lose, lose for Canada. As a Canadian Citizen I demand to know why this is taking place. Where are our Members of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly who have been elected by Canadian Citizens to represent us and to

care take and protect our natural resources and precious water and air quality. We have what China needs and wants. If we hold all the cards, why is there such a rush to implement this trade agreement? This, in my opinion, is not free trade, it is not fair trade. This is fear trade. Why? This federal government, as well as provincial governments, have abrogated their fiduciary obligations to practice democracy and to retain sover-

eignty on behalf of its citizens and I believe this abrogation is tantamount to treason. Treason, “the violation or betrayal of the allegiance that a person owes his sovereign or his country.” Mr. Duncan, playing “follow the leader” makes you no less of a traitor. On the cusp of Nov. 11 the one single day that we cease doing our usual daily activities and pause to pray for and thank Canadian Soldiers and all soldiers around the

world who fought and died on foreign soils to keep Canada and the world free from political domination, your gover nments have despoiled their efforts, their deaths rendered meaningless as a result. Perhaps you could consider delaying the signing of this Canada/China fiasco of a Trade Agreement until Nov. 11 and really twist the sword a little deeper – the same sword that Stephen Harper used with one single swipe to sign this agreement. Need-

less to say, our soldiers are still fighting and dying around the world for what? The domination of oil resources to make the already wealthy and powerful even more so? John Duncan it is time for you and your fellow MPs and MLAs to step up to the plate and prove your loyalty to Canada and its Citizens. John Duncan, it is time for you to finally take a stand and implement your motto “Committed to Serving the Constituents

of Vancouver Island North.” Bad things happen when good people do nothing. I am submitting this letter in good faith with the very slight glimmer of hope that you and your fellow MPs and MLAs might just listen. But then, who do I think I am? Who I am is a very concerned and caring Canadian Citizen who, so far, has the right to express my opinion. Lynda V. Belter, Campbell River

Mayor blasts contract to Vancouver firm BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway is miffed that city management has awarded a website redesign contract to a Vancouver company. “The optics are terrible,” the mayor fumed Thursday. “This was purely a decision of the city manager. City council had no say in the matter.” The city has announced that its website redesign will be awarded to Graphically Speaking, a Vancouver firm with “a successful history of municipal website development.” Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services, says: “In an online survey this spring, web users told us how best to reach them electronically. They were particularly keen to have improved search and navigation functions on the city’s website for better access to online information, and we look forward to unveiling an enhanced web presence in late spring 2013.” The city received 12 submissions for the project which were evaluated based on technical solutions, history of critically-acclaimed municipal website development, SharePoint experience, project team and references, vision for the City website and budget. Quotes

for the work ranged from $93,400 to $20,030. Graphically Speaking’s bid was $56,993.00. “While some proponents submitted lower budget numbers, they received lower scores in other evaluation criteria,” Ciarniello says. “Graphically Speaking offered the best overall value for the city with expertise in SharePoint, the current website platform, and extensive experience and excellent references for developing and upgrading municipal websites.” But Jakeway says more effort should have been made to identify a local provider of website services. He is also upset that city council has “no say in spending decisions under $100,000. It’s crazy,” he says. Ciarniello says the submissions were evaluated by city staff representing Communications, Corporate Services, Fire Department, Information Services and Supply Management. The four top-scoring proponents were invited to give a presentation on their proposal. Graphically Speaking has recently developed websites for: Richmond, Esquimalt, Ladysmith and Coquitlam. Campbell River City Council endorsed developing a new website for a maximum cost of $57,900 during 2012 financial plan deliberations.

School districts gets funding shot in the arm KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

School District 72 recently received a funding boost from the provincial government. An injection of $625,000 will go towards new staffing positions as well as training for teachers during Professional Development (Pro-D) Days. The funds come from the B.C. Education Ministry’s $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, which was announced last spring and built up with savings from the teacher’s strike last school year. T h e m o n e y f o rwarded to School District 72 was allocated to both CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) workers and teachers. A total of $146,112 went to CUPE to pay an additional 36 working minutes each week between 119 Education Assistants in schools. “This additional time shall be used for consultation on IEP’s (Individualized Education Plans for those with special needs),

safety plans, debriefing and collaboration,” said Superintendent Tom Longridge, in his report to the board of education. CUPE also received funding for two new, 25-hour per week educational assistant positions, and one 20-hour per week educational assistant. Money was also allocated to bump up one educational assistant’s working week by five hours. Teachers were allocated $478,887 from the Learning Improvement Fund to add one fulltime elementary counsellor, a behavioural resource teacher, as well as a part-time instructional support teacher and a support coordinator. A part-

time literacy/numeracy teacher and an academic intervention instructor were also funded. Longridge said $52,641 will go towards teacher training on Pro-D day to address challenges in the classroom. The funds will “provide training to teachers for FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder), behavioural intervention strategies, autism training, and non-violent crisis intervention training,” Longridge said. The final portion allocated to teachers will build up a 30 per cent reserve for the second semester of this school year “to support staffing needs that arise for

the second semester.” Funding was spread out based on discussions with all the schools in the district last spring and again in the fall, to determine where there was the most need. The Learning Education Fund doubled from $30 million to $60 this year due to a province-wide operational savings of $37 million thanks to last March’s three-day teacher walkout. The first $60 was distributed last month, while a further $60 million will be allocated to the fund in 2013-14, and $75 million will be injected in 2014-15 and each year after that, as per the 2012 education budget.

7x14 EXPLORING THE RISK FACTORS FOR PROSTATE CANCER

There is a one in seven chance that a Canadian man will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point during his lifetime.

man’s risk for prostate cancer, which the Canadian Cancer Society says will claim the lives of more than 4,000 Canadian men this year.

Those elevated incidence rates could be a byproduct of an aging population, as age is a significant risk factor for prostate cancer. According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, one in 10,000 men under age 40 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. That figure skyrockets to one in 38 for men between the ages of 40 to 59, and one in 15 for men in their 60s.

Where you live plays a role in developing prostate cancer. Men who live in cities north of 40 degrees latitude have the highest risk of dying from prostate cancer, and researchers feel this is because men who live in such cities get less sunlight during the winter months and therefore less vitamin D.

There are a host of factors in addition to age that increase a

prostate cancer. Asian men have the lowest risk of developing

prostate cancer, while AfricanAmerican men are 60 percent more likely to develop the disease than Caucasian men. The PCF notes that AfricanAmerican men are also 2.5 times more likely to die from the disease, which highlights the importance that AfricanAmerican men must place on screenings. Family history also plays a role in a man’s risk for developing prostate cancer. Men whose fathers or brothers have had prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease. Their risk increases even more if their fathers or brothers were diagnosed with the cancer before reaching the age of 55 or if they had three or more family members who were diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Research into prostate cancer is ongoing and continues to unearth new information regarding this potentially deadly disease. The PCF notes,

Turnips will amaze you No patio. No balcony. No south facing window? That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy picking a few fresh greens grown right in your living room this winter. You can start by buying a bag of turnips from the farmer’s market or health food store. Eat some of them chopped in strips and enjoy their mellow crispness. Shredded, they make a wonderful addition to your salad. Slice them in wedge shapes and roast them crisp with a bit of olive oil and a dash of Cajun pepper. Now, for the secret of growing fresh greens. Take a few of the smaller turnips and place them in an attractive container, toss in some dirt and stick the pot in a window corner. Miraculously, using only their stored energy the turnips will begin sprouting delicious greens, even if the light is insufficient. It is amazing. Just make sure the turnips have not been dipped in wax. If you do have a south facing window

Knights of Columbus show Special Olymics the money Each spring, Campbell River Special Olympians, volunteers, family, friends and Knights of Columbus walk, roll and wheel chair from Rotary Beach Park to Hidden Harbour and back to raise funds. In the four years that the Knights have organized the local event, over $17,000 of pledged Walkathon for Special Olympics monies has been raised to benefit the Campbell River Chapter of Special Olympics. All the money stays

right here in Campbell River to help pay for facility rentals, equipment, travel expenses, uniforms and the like for our athletes. The Knights of Columbus have a longstanding relationship with the Special Olympics, which enriches the lives of people with an intellectual disability through sport. Internationally, over the past 40 years the Knights of Columbus have raised over $382 million for Special Olympics and

other programs for people with intellectual and/or physical disabilities.

City faces $3.6 million deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures. That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December. The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes. That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to contract commitments and inflationary increases, said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services. If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million. The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase. To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner. The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

Campbell River Living Dog rescue society is unleashing opportunities KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Miss Daisy, a black lab and collie mix, looks up lovingly with puppy dog eyes as her foster mother strokes her dark fur coat. Miss Daisy is calm, adjusted and smaller in size than your typical lab, and is just one of several dogs that have been dropped off at the Vancouver Island Dogs Rescue Society. She’s been staying with her foster mom, Shannon Briggs, for more than a month and Miss Daisy is ready to be adopted by a family from Victoria. That’s typical for the Vancouver Island Dogs Rescue Society, which has adopted out more than 20 rescue dogs since it was officially incorporated in March of this year. Dogs are usually adopted out anywhere from between one to two weeks or up to four months after they go into the rescue society’s care. The non-profit society has a working relationship with a pound in Chilliwack and another in Victoria, and if the shelters are unable to take the dog, they will rely on the rescue society, which takes dogs from all over the country, mostly from the Island and Alberta. The society is made up of a five-member

volunteer board. Briggs and a second board member live in Campbell River while one is from Nanaimo and two are based in Victoria. T he society also r e c e ive s r e f e r r a l s through the shelters, as well as through word of mouth. As a non-profit society, Vancouver Island Dogs Rescue relies on fundraising to keep the society afloat. One of its biggest fundraisers, a burger and beer night with a silent auction, will be held Nov. 13, 7 p.m. at River City Grill. Though the society is committed to giving dogs a second chance in a new home, Briggs says the number one goal of the society is to try and work with pet owners to help them keep their dog. However, sometimes that’s not possible, whether it be due to a growing family and a lack of space, or a case of the owner not having the proper skills to deal with the dog. And that’s where the rescue society comes in.

People get them because they’re beautiful but they don’t have the skills to work with them. They’re a working breed bred originally to pull sleds and run, so when they’re cooped up in a crate or a kennel, they go really crazy. They need to be ran.” Briggs says often people, after buying a

husky, quickly realize they aren’t able to handle their dog and will bring it to the rescue society. From there, the dog will either go into a foster home or be adopted out. Briggs says foster homes are one of the most valuable aspects of the society, which exists to re-home and rehabilitate abandoned dogs. “We’re always looking

for foster homes. We can only bring in as many dogs as we have foster homes for,” Briggs says. “The fosters have the first option all the time of keeping the dog because most of the time people build bonds with them and they decide it’s their dog and they want to keep it.” Foster parents, as well as adoptive parents, are matched up with a dog

that will fit their family and lifestyle through a rigourous screening process that includes a questionnaire form, and a home visit. Foster homes are typically the first stage, a n d , a c c o rd i n g t o Briggs, many are dealing with dogs that have “some issues and need a lot of work.” Foster parents that don’t intend on keeping their dog release the canine

for adoption and are then available to take in another dog in need of care. Briggs says it’s truly the volunteers, like the foster parents, that make the organization go ‘round. A group of ladies have been sewing dog beds and selling them through the society’s Facebook page, www. facebook.com/VancouverIslandDogsRescueSociety with all proceeds going to the society, which needs funding on a regular basis for veterinarian care for the dogs, including vaccinations, spaying and neutering. The society is also selling First Aid kits through Facebook. Simply click on Photos, Albums, and Our Store to view the items up for sale. The burger and beer night at River City Grill will also go towards the society’s operating costs. Tickets are $25 per person and all proceeds go to the society. Anyone who would like to donate to the silent auction can contact Briggs at shannon@ islanddogsrescue.com Those interested in fostering or adopting a rescue dog can e-mail, info@islanddogs.com

Last year between December 6 and February 24 an average of 2,300 swans were counted on a weekly basis by the Comox Valley Naturalists swan monitors. This society has been monitoring the swans with a weekly count every Tuesday, as part of the Comox valley Waterfowl Management Program to manage the swans on local farmland. According to the naturalists, swans can rival the cows for daily food consumption on farm lands. T h e We s t c o a s t winter swan habitat ranges from Sumas and North West Washington including Vancouver, as well as the east coasts of central and southern Vancouver Island. Northern B.C. and Alaska provide their breeding and summer habitat. During their winter stay in the Comox Valley and parts of Campbell River, they dine on a variety of

field crops including hay, corn, perennial grasses seeds and tubers including marsh and wetland vegetation. Habitats for our local swan populations include agricultural farm lands, wetlands and estuaries, also the shallow waters around the Goose Spit. Arriving at their winter grounds with the young juveniles the swans have only a few short months to prepare and be in top flying condition to make the arduous spring migration back to the far north. Often when the sw a n s a r r ive i n Alaska and other nor ther n g rounds they are faced with frozen water and snow still on the ground; this makes their need to breed even more urgent as they have to build their nest, produce their eggs and hatch their young. Nests are built or old nests reused, and Continued on A19

are often found on vegetation in shallow water; hatching of the cygnets coincides with the explosion of the insect population upon which the young feed for the first few weeks of their life. There are many predators for the young swans including eagles, owls and mink, but there are also many other dangers as they fly south and arrive in our area. Like all wildlife, human impact is the greatest peril facing the swans as our habitat continues to encroach upon theirs. Each year another potential hazard arises; obviously it appears they will be at greater risk for any oil

and do not get enough height to clear the wires, we thank B.C. Hydro for helping with this issue by adjusting wires for both swans and eagles. Another hazard presents itself under the water when the swans forage for roots, in some areas left over lead lurks in the mud from old hunting practices and the swans ingest the poison into the gizzard which it paralyses, causing fatal starvation. This is easy to identify as the swan “spins” in the water before drowning. You can also help by keep-

‘Home-like’ recovery house gives men a Second Chance Tim (whose real name has been withheld at his request) has been clean and sober for just more than one year. “I managed to get a good grip on sobriety and keep it and a big part of that is thanks to Second Chance,” he said. Tim did the 28-day Supportive Recovery program at the Second Chance Recovery House for men in Campbell River. Before that, he spent many years of his life controlled by his addiction to alcohol. He would often wake up having slept outdoors the night before and he had no money and no food. “It was too much work to keep going on like that day after day,” he said. “I was hungry, I lost so much weight, as much as possible without being dead, the next step was death.” In fact, when he finally made it to the hospital for help, the doctor told his family to make funeral ar rang ements for

him. But Tim pulled through and attended a detox program in another Island community. When it came time to look at options for longer ter m treatment, he wanted a smaller program. Campbell River’s Second Chance Recovery House fit the criteria as there are only 10 beds – four for Crisis Stabilization and six for Supportive Recovery. “I didn’t want to be in with 60 people and I wanted accountability,” he said. “This place was perfect for me. The feel of the place was great; there was more one on one time with staff.” Second Chance Executive Director Tessera Brooks said many of the clients often comment on how surprised they are to find such a home-like environment when they come to the facility. Like many families, the residents at Second Chance have daily chores to complete,

including washing dishes, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors. One client will help a staff member with the weekly grocery shopping. “It’s all part of the recovery process, to help them develop life skills,” said Brooks. The men also attend twice daily support groups Monday to Friday and one group Saturday morning. This is in addition to the five out of house AA or NA meetings they are required to attend each week. During the groups the men will learn about the 12-ste p recovery process, boundaries, co-dependency, communication skills, mindfulness, self-esteem, different kinds of relapse triggers, and anger management while identifying trauma and behaviours that led to their addictions. The clients also complete an after care plan so they will know where they are going to live, who their sponsor is and what AA or NA meet-

ings they will regularly attend. It also includes appointments with other components of their support network, including Mental Health and Addictions Services, Psychiatrists, Doctors, therapists and Diabetes or Liver Clinics. The men also include a back to work/school plan, budgets and family visitations/ therapy sessions. As part of his after care plan, Second Chance staff helped Tim find transitional housing through the Salvation Army. He has also been seeing a counsellor regularly at Mental Health and Addictions Services and attends AA meetings. “I’m very grateful to have been at Second Chance, the staff was great,” he said. “I didn’t keep track of time at all, I was saddened when my time was up.” But like all past clients, Tim is still able to attend the support groups or just drop in for a visit with staff. Brooks noted that

in the past year Second Chance had 287 contacts with past clients who attended the daily support groups and 410 contacts with past clients who visited or phoned Second Chance. Tim said having the structure and stability of being able to come back for the regularly scheduled groups is a large part of his maintained sobriety. “His presence is also important to the newer clients,” said Brooks. “They get to see that success is possible. And now that Tim has a foundation in recovery, he can explore educational goals and work options.” Tim does in fact work part time and he now has his own apartment. And he has recon-

nected with family members who he was estranged from because of his drinking. “Now it’s great, we have a really good relationship,” he said. “My head is out of the clouds and I can see options for the future.” If you or a loved one needs help with addictions and would like to be referred to Second Chance, you can contact the Crisis Nurses at the Campbell River Hospital at 250-850-2647 (for detox) or Mental Health and Addictions at 250-8502620 (for 28 or 45-day supportive recovery). If you would like to help Second Chance, cash donations are welcome or they are currently in need of new or gently used single bed comforters and winter coats.

With the holidays approaching, they will need gifts for the men who will spend C h r i s t m a s t h e re. Suggested gift ideas include new hoodies, t-shirts, scarves, gloves, toques, sweat pants, slippers, daytimers or calendars, baseball hats and wallets. Ideas for stocking stuffers include razors, socks, Tim Horton’s gift cards, underwear, chocolates, candy, gum, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, nail clippers, hair brushes and unscented (no Irish Spring or Axe) shaving cream/deodorant/shampoo/soap/ body wash. Donations can be dropped off at Second Chance at 647 Birch Street or call 250-8301103 to arrange for pick up.

Ted passed away peacefully in the presence of family in Campbell River on Monday October 29, 2012 at the age of 85. Predeceased by son David (Debbie) and daughter Juanita (Lorne). Ted is survived by wife Faye of 65 years son Grant (Kim), daughter Carrol (Jim), and Marty (Cindy); grandchildren Allan, Michelle, Corey, Jodi, Aaron, Jolene, Clayton, Sarina, Richard, Adam, Cole and Taylor; thirteen great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews. Ted was born in Armstrong B.C. to Theron and Winifred Warner. Being raised with six siblings during hard times gave him his solid family values and strong will. Ted met the love of his life, Faye in 1946 and they married in 1947. After living and working throughout the interior of B.C. they settled in Campbell River in 1955, and raised five children. Ted was a hard worker and his jobs included logging, bar tending at the old Willows Hotel, managing the Quinsam bar for 15 years, commercial fishing and returned to his â€œfavourite jobâ€? driving truck. Ted enjoyed the outdoors. Hunting and fishing at times a necessity to help feed the family but later became a passionate recreation. When he retired, woodworking and â€œbeach combingâ€? were some of his many hobbies. Ted loved road trips, short and long. In later years he became Jimâ€™s co-pilot traveling across the country. With a new knee he put many miles on the sea walk enjoying the sites and the visits. Watching and sharing in his grandchildren growing up became his final love. Always Ted will be missed and in our hearts forever. The family would like to express a special thank you to all the medical staďŹ€ of the Campbell River Hospital and Dr. Ramsey. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, November 4th 1:00pm - 3865 Discovery Drive.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Carihi sets sights on provincials Carihi headed to the North Island Soccer Championship on Tuesday in Nanaimo amid pouring rain and grey clouds. The miserable weather and constant rain forced the venue to change from Kwalicum recreation fields to the artificial turf at Merle Logan. Fortunately that was the only bad news on a day when the Tyees performed in admirable fashion in recording two hard fought wins over Shawnigan Lake and Francis Kelsey. The first game saw the Carihi boys start in tremendous fashion earning a two goal lead in the opening 20 minutes. The first came via an keeper error as Car ter Coblenz whipped in quality corner which was too much for the advancing goalkeeper. The Tyees maintained constant pressure and deservedly scored a second with an excellent finish from James Kruetziger from a quality pass from dane Belle Oudry. The Campbell River boys continued to play well but gave up a goal shortly before the half to go with at 2-1 lead. The second half was a more even affair. Carihi missed a few opportunities but failed to capitalize. The final few minutes of the game saw Shawnigan put some serious pressure on the Tyee defence but they stood strong with Belle Oudry winning a couple of crucial headers from some late corners. The second game saw Tyee Collin Massie record a shut out and a strong defensive performance was provided in front of him with Belle Oudry, Aiden Anderson, Kellen Rondeau and Alexandre Desrochers working well as a unit and ably supported by Jordan Nelson and Tyler Kelly. Once again the boys

made a dream start with two superbly taken goals via fast c o u n t e r at t a ck i n g moves. Zach Tillapaugh was the provider on both ocassions, firstly a fine cross for Kevin Shelswell and secondly an excellent cut back pass for Foge to score his second of the tournament. The Tyees could have added more but for a stellar performance f ro m t h e F r a n c i s Kelsey goalkeeper. As with the previous game the second half proved more even but the midfield of Coblenz, Tillapaugh, Shelswell, Foge and ever ready battery that is Jason Fawkes were solid and gave little away. Day two saw a return to Nanaimo as the rains continued to pour and any prospect of returning to Kwalikum to complete the tournament on grass was ended with the overnight downpour. The final game of the round robin was a semi final as both Carihi and Kwalikum High School had won their previous two games in pool play. The slight edge went to Kwalikum as they had a superior goal difference and consequently only needed a draw. Previous games between the two teams had resulted in two narrow wins for Kwalikum. It was an excellent game between two finely balanced teams. Both teams defended with caution and looked to counter attack with pace when possible. The half time saw both teams tied at 0-0. The second half saw Kwalikum have their best spell. It seemed they had that extra yard of space and they created a couple of close chances. Their best two came within seconds of each other. Firstly, it took a technically superb and courageous save from Tyee keeper Massie to save a certain goal

Kim’s Acupuncture & 2X2 Acupressure Clinic TONY KIM 28 Years Experience

when he flung himself toward the ball and opponent in order to save a certain goal. A continuation of that play saw the ball end up at the feet of anothetr Kwalikum forward. Defender Desrochers made an equally brave save to prevent the ball going in with a superb tackle. Ironically minutes later the deadlock was broken by Carihi. Forward Kruetziger chased what looked like a hopeless cause. His tenacity won the ball back and Foge who had made a tremendous run from midfield headed toward the topof the six yard box where he met the superb cross played in from Kruetziger for the crucial opening goal. Within 10 minutes the Tyees had doubled their lead with another fast counter attack with a similar pattern

of play. This time it was Tillapaugh making the strong run down the right before whipping in a quality cross for the onrushing Foge to score once again. Overall an excellent win against a strong Kwalikum outfit. The Final saw the Tyees match up against the highly touted Gulf Islands. Early season scouting reports had the team ranked as the best “AA” team on the Island. It was easy to see why as they dominated the early exchanges in the game and scored within ten minutes via a powerful run by their inside forward. Carihi worked hard to stay in the game but a second goal followed and if it wasn’t for some old fashioned hard work led by Fawkes it could have been more. The

strength of the squad was demonstrated in this final game as Connor Fairweather, Nelson and Kelly all put in strong shifts. ■ Next week sees the Tyees go back to Nanaimo for the Island Championship. Originally the school was to host but the recent weather and lack of artifial turf in town has menat the tournament being relocated to Merle Logan Artificial turf. The top three teams at the Island Championship will make the Provincial Championships later in the month in Vancouver. The Carihi Boys are well placed and if they can reproduce the form of this Championship hopes are high they can be the first Carihi Senior Boys Soccer team to reach a Provincial Championships in over 30 years.

Thinking about downsizing and moving?

2X14

Tired of tasks such as cutting the grass, and shoveling snow? Are you getting uncomfortable lugging laundry baskets, and groceries up and down stairs? Is your family concerned about your well-being? Now is the time to start thinking about downsizing and moving. Anne Delaney Perhaps the thought of moving sounds good, but the thought of selling your home and moving to a smaller place overwhelms you. You are not alone! Making the decision to move is extremely difficult. It is estimated that it takes a minimum of 80 hours to completely sort and pack an average home. This is an enormous task. It is easier if you break the tasks of downsizing into small segments, one drawer, closet, or box at a time. Share with your family and friends cherished items and heirlooms, taking comfort in knowing that these possessions will be appreciated. As with any major life change, there are many factors to consider; finances, the difficulty or complexity of the move, your ability, distance, as well as your support system to name just a few. If the prospect of tackling this on your own is just too much, you can hire a relocation company. Moving is a great time for personal growth. If done with the right mindset a person can have sense of satisfaction about the past, and look forward to the future. Reminiscing is a combination of a little grief and a lot of celebration. The following is a list of what Delaney Relocation and Home Support Services INC can do for you: • Assess your current home and your needs • Assess your new location & how best to accommodate you & your possessions in it • Provide advice to assist your decision-making • Help co-ordinate realtors, appraisers, cleaners, movers etc. • Help downsize and organize your belongings • Help dispose of unwanted items • Handle all your utility and address changeovers • Take care of all the packing • Arrange for cleanup, household repairs and garbage disposal • Keep you and family members updated on progress every step of the way • Have you unpacked and set up by suppertime on moving day

Hurricane storm to shutout victory Did everyone feel the force of the Hurricane this weekend? Well maybe not everyone, but the Bantam girls hockey team from Nanaimo certainly did. The Campbell River Hurricane and Nanaimo faced off at Strathcona Gardens this past Saturday at 3:45 p.m. for the season opener of the VIHA Bantam Girls League. The Nanaimo team was a big, strong team with many second year players on it but the young Campbell River girls rose to the challenge. The first period was a battle of the goalies as both teams played a physical game with lots of action at both ends of the ice. It wasn’t until late in the first period when Campbell River netted the first goal of the game with some hard work from behind the net by Kylie Scammell who found the stick of Rebecca Mason to put the Hurricane up by one. The second period was much the same, neither team wanting let up. This resulted in several penalties for both the home team and the visitors. Jadylin Spooner came up big

for the Hurricanes, making some spectacular saves as the team was forced to play short handed. Late in the second the Campbell River girls found the back of the net after a long shift, this time it was Cassidy Bellavance setting up the hard working Scammell. The defensive efforts of Lisa Lloyd, Miaya Cramb, Alyssa Palmer and Carrissa Jochimski held the Nanaimo team to another scoreless period. The third period brought out a very frustrated Nanaimo team who just couldn’t seem to score despite their best efforts. Just two minutes into the third period Haley Hunter hammered a slap shot from the blue line that beat a screened Nanaimo goalie. The game would end 3-0 with Spooner earning the shut out. Coach Dennis Bellavance said the game was a real team effort and the girls dug deep to find a way to win. The Hurricane be playing next in Victoria on Sunday November 4 at Westhills Arena and will be playing in a tournament in Sooke on the following weekend.

Carihi girls make the grade The Carihi Girls team qualified for the Provincial Championship with a courageous fourth place finish today. This is only the third time in Carihi history that the girls have achieved this. A delighted group of runners are off to Prince George late next week. The Girls made it by eight points which in Cross Country terms means it was very very close. Top runner was Josie Simpson who came 15th on the Island. Simpson was ably supported by her team mates Karlyn Healy, Talish Linden-

bach, Cassidy Hinsburger, Claire Pomeroy, Megan Nuttall and Janna Manners. The Tyee boys also ran with great determination and achieved a school best ever result with a 5th place finish missing out by one position for a first ever Provincial Championship berth. Top finishers were Brendan Hoff who came 10th and Jason Fawkes who finished 20th. Strong runs also came from Karson Kroetsch, Tyrell Barley, Kevin Shelswell, Conner Fairweather and Paul Jackman.

In the second game, the Rage earned a shutout due to a collaborative effort and fancy footwork by the goalie finishing the game 14-0. The Rage are really coming together as a team and getting ready for the upcoming three-day tournament in Richmond.

Drive Smart BC How Far Away do I Park?

2X14 I received a request from a gentleman who wanted others to know how far away drivers have to park from roadside features. He has a problem with people parking across the end of his driveway rather than keeping their distance and is hoping that a reminder to other drivers CHEV might solve TYEE it. Is your measuring tape ready? You cannot park in the following places: on a sidewalk or boulevard, in front of a driveway, in an intersection unless permitted by a sign, on a crosswalk, bridge, elevated roadway or in a tunnel, contrary to a sign, on the roadway side of a vehicle already parked, or on a highway for the purpose of advertising or selling.

Campbell River Killer Whales’ James Sidhu powers down the lane during last weekend’s swim meet in Nanaimo.

CRKW makes waves at Nanaimo invitational swim meet

You cannot park within 5 metres of a ﬁre hydrant.

The Campbell River Killer Whales swim club travelled to Nanaimo this past weekend for their first official competition of the season. The meet included over 250 swimmers from clubs located throughout B.C. The club travelled down with a strong contingent of 41 swimmers and really left a mark on the competition. The local club raced hard and represented the town of Campbell

You must not park within 6 metres of: the approach side of a crosswalk, the approach to a flashing beacon, stop sign, or traffic control signal, the entrance or exit of a hotel, theatre, public meeting place, dance hall, fire hall, or playground in a rural area.

River extremely well. Included were many personal best times and podium performances. CRKW had some great individual and team performances at this swim meet. Some highlights included outstanding performances from the new up and coming swimmers: Lilan Forsyth, Gage Windle, Avery Moskal, and Aleah Jordan. Not be outdone were the efforts displayed by Melanyna

B e a u d i n , Ja s m i n e Skuse, MacKenzie Padington , James Sidhu and Connor Milligan. “There were some real strong performances put in by Connor Milligan, Lilan, Gage and Melayna at this meet,” said coach Dave Healy. “Especially exciting, was the emergence of our 10 and under boys group; consisting of Gage Windle, Carson Dunn and Travis Lathangue” “It has been some time since CRKW have

displayed a strong group of young male swimmers…very exciting indeed.” CRKW will continue with multiple competitions coming up in the near future. With hard work and dedication: this team of swimmers will continue to build on their successes in pursuit of future glory. CRKW has just begun their season and always looks for new recruits and athletes in our community. “We offer a program

that fits many and most lifestyles,” Healy said. “As a competitive swim club, we offer life skill instruction with the opportunity to become the next Olympian.” “Our former, and current successes, illustrate that our program is something that every athlete in our community should check out. We are proud to provide a superior program for Campbell River’s young athletes.” For more information visit www.crkw.ca

You cannot park within 15 metres of a railroad crossing. Of course, if you must park somewhere forbidden due to a breakdown, a note on the car and a word to the property owner goes a long way to avoid misunderstandings.
