Arrests a Yorke Island gunner warrants a fitting memorial relief to slain man’s stepmom

Casualty of War

BRIAN KIERAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

oyal Canadian Artillery Gunner Wallace Brunt died on duty in 1941 here on the West Coast far from any Second World War battlefield and a local war historian is determined that his death will be more than a distant footnote in history. Campbell River resident Ross Keller, who says his “personal passion” is the history and legacy of the Yorke Island Battery near Sayward, wants to raise public awareness about the service and drowning death of the 27-year-old soldier and help create a memorial to the gunner here where he served and died. Currently, Brunt is remembered on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial posted on the Internet by Veterans Affairs. He is also listed in the Second World War Book of Remembrance. And, Keller says, his name appears on the St. John’s Cenotaph in Newfoundland. The Yorke Island Battery was established in 1938 by the War Department as part of Canada’s coastal defences. The site was equipped with a range of weaponry including two 40mm Bofors guns at two different sites. Three carbon arc searchlights were positioned to maintain a night fighting ability. Sixty buildings were erected to support the garrison. A major

challenge with Yorke Island was a lack of drinking water. It was while he was participating in a work party fetching water from Hardwicke Island in Sunderland Channel that Brunt was dragged overboard when he got caught in a tow line to a sinking rowboat. Despite the efforts of his fellow soldiers he drowned. “The family of Gunner Brunt was devastated by his loss with the story being that his wife

was grief stricken and affected by his loss dramatically,” Keller says. “His family was never satisfied by the findings of the military and felt very poorly treated by the powers that be at the time of a court of inquiry in Vancouver.” Keller says the grim situation was compounded when Brunt’s name was “incorrectly put onto the St John’s cenotaph as a sailor lost at sea when he was killed on a different ocean.”

“I wonder if he should be listed in Campbell River or Sayward, on the closest cenotaph to where he was killed?” Keller says thought could also be given to erecting a cairn on Yorke Island. Ottawa-based Veterans Affairs spokesperson Simon Forsyth says there is no national protocol that stands in the way of such an initiative and that a project like this should probably start with the relevant community groups that care for individual cenotaphs on Vancouver Island. Forsyth says if there is a group locally that wishes to honour Brunt they may be eligible for federal government assistance by applying to the Community War Memorial Program which helps citizens “commemorate the achievements and sacrifices of those who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace.” Yorke Island was an isolated post and as the threat of attack diminished the garrison was decommissioned and the fort was abandoned by early 1946. Yorke Island is now a Conservancy protected by BC Parks. Recent efforts by volunteers and local groups have now allowed for a major clean up at the fort. Trails have been cut and marked to areas of safe access and interest including extensive remnants of the bunkers, gun emplacements and buildings.

The stepmother of a former Campbell River student says she is “relieved” that the alleged killers of her boy have been arrested and charged with first degree murder in Salmon Arm. On Nov. 21, 2008 Tyler Myers, 22, was gunned down. His body was discovered by a passerby about 7:30 p.m. on a trail on the grounds of an elementary school in the Interior city. On Monday police arrested a 20-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, both under 18 years at the time of the murder. They cannot be named. Both are residents of Salmon Arm and both have been charged with first degree murder. The pair appeared briefly in Salmon Continued on A3

Good headlines don’t make good governance, consultant says KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

It will be the Christmas the kids could only wish for. Campbell River Sears and the John Howard Society are making a Christmas catalogue wish come true. Society program manager Steve Ayers and Sears catalogue agent Jodi Quibell check the Tree of Wishes.

Christmas wishes come true for needy kids “If it wasn’t for this tree, more than 100 kids wouldn’t have a Christmas,” says John Howard Society program manager Steve Ayers. The tree he is referring to is the Sears Tree of Wishes where the hopes of 118 children, from one year old to 16, are hanging. For the second year Campbell River Sears and the John Howard Society have teamed up to provide a way for caring Campbell River residents to brighten what could be a bleak holiday

without presents. Last year, 26 kids were registered. The boys and girls whose wishes are hanging on the tree are participating in John Howard Society mentoring programs like the KidsStart Program. Sears provided them with copies of the Sears Christmas Wish Book catalogue so they could find their perfect gift. The gifts selected run the Christmas gamut such as a Newberry Alley doll, a Tigger Travel mug,

My First Craftsman Chainsaw, a Kidizoom camera, Hip Street MP3 Player and more. All these gift ideas are attached as snowflakes on the tree waiting for a donor to pick them off and purchase the gift. Ayers says: “When we get an opportunity to partner with a local business like Sears that has such a positive presence in the community, it substantially increases the chances that our efforts to help kids will be more successful.”

The author of the damning, $37,000 governance audit of city hall sympathized with the mayor and senior city staff at Tuesday night’s council meeting. George Cuff, who conducted the two-day audit Sept. 4-5 with his associate Jeff Nixon, was in attendance to personally present his findings of a dysfunctional city council.

“We were called in because council was, and to some extent still is, struggling (in its) relationship with one another,” Cuff began. “This community has elected this council to be the guardians of the public purse, to set good policy for the future, to establish priorities on how to govern the city’s budget process – all of this should come from this council but it won’t if council’s caught up on turning the wagons and shooting inward, which I find to be very non-productive.

Woman wants to dump on the back road dumpers SCOTT STANFIELD BLACK PRESS

A Campbell River woman wants to dump on the dumpers — and get them some welldeserved notoriety.

Kathleen Shar pe, tired of people using the outdoors as a dumping ground, has created a Facebook page dubbed Shame the Logging Road Dumpers. The goal is to let

people know she and other group members are seeing the litter. They hope the website garners the ‘dumpers’ the publicity needed to make them stop littering roads.

“It’s everybody’s backyard,” Shar pe said. “This doesn’t stop with one little thing...The next thing you know it’s a fridge and a couch and it just becomes more and

more.” She started the site to bring attention to what’s going on in the backroads in and around mid-Island communities. Sharpe, is concerned the situa-

tion will worsen when the Campbell River landfill reaches capacity. “I’m out there all the time,” Sharpe said. “What gets me is a lot of it is free to dump,

but they still seem to think that it’s cheaper to drive their $45,000 diesel truck down a bad logging road and dump it, and incur a $10,000 fine inside B.C. Parks.”

I think that’s unwise (and) will demoralize your staff.” Cuff acknowledged that, “city hall has

Council voted to receive the report, and although no formal resolutions were made on the report’s recommendations, Storry did say council has made some changes already. Also encouraging was Cuff ’s parting words to council. “I can tell you, rest assured, there are councils that are very dysfunctional and hate each other...and as a result of that, nothing gets done,” he said. “I think this council needs to be encouraged that it’s nowhere near the dysfunction I’ve seen in other places, including here on the Island.” Cuff, a former mayor of Spruce Grove, Alta. has conducted gover nance audits for several local governments including Hope, Smithers and the former Comox-Strathcona Regional District.

other hand. “Staff wants to do what’s right by council and work for council and doesn’t want to be beaten up by council.” Cuff also had some specific advice for the mayor, who has publicly voiced his frustration with council decisions in the past – most notably, when he called for a tax revolt after council voted in favour of a 13.6 per cent residential tax increase this spring. “ We r e c o m m e n d that the mayor accept as his role, the need to show support for council’s decision even when personally not in agreement,” Cuff said. “The mayor needs to be in support of the issue. Whether the issue is voted on 4-3, 5-2, or 6-1, that matters not. It simply matters that the mayor is now speaking on behalf of council’s decision.” Jakeway, for his part, said Tuesday morning that he agreed with Cuff ’s findings and advice, particularly that his own agenda

Council decision could leave some homeless people out in the cold KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Salvation Army’s Extreme Weather Shelter likely won’t be open every night this winter after a city committee turned down the Salvation Army’s request for funding. The non-profit Christian org anization, which runs a cold weather shelter for the city’s most vulnerable, applied for a $45,000 Community Partnership grant-in-aid to extend its shelter hours but was denied because of a city policy. Non-profits which also receive funding from other levels of government or government agencies, in this case BC Housing, are not eligible for a grantin-aid from the city. That’s not sitting well with Coun. Ron Kerr, who tried to get the Salvation Army as well as the city’s Community Homelessness Coalition on the grant recipient list, which includes several arts and culture organiza-

tions such as the Tidemark Theatre Society, the museum, and the Arts Council. “I’m completely in favour of supporting arts and culture in Campbell River. It contributes to quality of life and tourism but I’m extremely disappointed that because of our policy, our social organizations are not included on this list,” Kerr said at Tuesday night’s council meeting. “I think both of these are worthy and should be included, especially the cold weather shelter. There’s a desperate need. These citizens are our most vulnerable and to ignore them is morally wrong.” Coun. Mary Storry, a non-voting liaison to the Community Partnership Committee which is tasked with reviewing the grantin-aid applications, said it came down to guidelines. “Certainly the Community Partnership Committee spent a lot of time discuss-

ing these two items but it was quite clear those didn’t fall into the policy that the Community Partnership Committee acted upon,” said Storry, who noted it would be more appropriate to discuss funding for the shelter and the Homelessness Coalition during the 2013 budget deliberations, set to begin in December. For now, the Salvation Army is proceeding under the assumption the extreme weather shelter will only be open on nights the temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius – the only time BC Housing will provide funding for the shelter to operate. Money goes towards a number of things, including providing clients with a mat to sleep on, a warm meal, and trained paid staff to operate the shelter. But Jakeway has said “the homeless don’t have a thermometer. They don’t know when it’s below 0 degrees C.” He said the danger

level for the city’s most vulnerable is still high even when the mercury doesn’t dip below freezing. “The problem is, (last year) we had two people die when it was below 0 because you can still die of exposure,” Jakeway said. “It’s most important that the homeless people know where to go even if it’s plus one, plus two, or plus three. Especially because you get wet. So for the winter months, it needs to be open everyday.” In the end, council chose to defer the issue of funding to both the Salvation Army and the Homelessness Coalition to the 2013 budget planning discussions. City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the city does have more than $300,000 provided to council for “this type of function” and shelter operations would fall within the grant guidelines. Council will also look at the possibility of providing $20,000 to the Homelessness

Coalition, on top of the $319,644 in VIHA funding that the city allocated to the coalition, to build a 30-unit co-ed supportive housing facility. Coun. Claire Moglove, though, said she doesn’t believe the city should have to fund either of the two groups and that the responsibility for funding social programs lies with the province. “There is constant downloading from the provincial government onto municipalities,” Moglove said. “Shelter and affordable housing is a provincial responsibility. We can’t continually increase our payments to groups when those groups should be funded by the province.”

Mayor thinks all who apply should get funding KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A group of 16 local non-profits will receive community grants this year, while four other community g roups applied for funding but were turned down. The groups applied under the city’s annual grant-in-aid program which aims to help non-profits benefiting the entire community. Ap p l i c at i o n s a re reviewed by the city’s Community Partnership Committee based on city policy and what’s available in the budget. Bar ry Watchor n, chair of the committee, said this year’s application process was especially difficult. “The committee had some serious challenges this year in the fact we had an unprecedented amount of

requests for grantsi n - a i d t h i s ye a r, ” Watchorn told council Tuesday night. “Requests for 2013 totalled $785,700, exceeding the grantin-aid budget cap by $221,220 (1.7 per cent of the city’s general revenue). “A lot of due diligence was put in to whittling it down and trying to make everybody happy.” T he g roups that received funding are listed below, but four groups – the Campbell River Storm, the city’s Homelessness Coalition, the Salvation Army’s extreme weather shelter and the Downtown BIA, for Christmas lights, – were denied their funding requests. Groups were turned down if they did not fit the criteria of being a non-profit organization

or open to the entire c o m m u n i t y. G r a n t requests were also shot down if the applicant already receives funding from another level of government or a government agency. Mayor Walter Jakeway said he didn’t think any g roups should have been turned down, no matter what the reason. “Some are not getting money and I think they all deserve the money,” he said. “I’d like to hear if we found money during our budget deliberations (that) we could meet those needs too because obviously there’s a huge need and I know a lot of them are very legitimate organizations looking for funds.” Watchorn said the committee could revisit the city mandate that determines

whether or not a grant-in-aid request is approved. “Perhaps the guidelines could be looked at again,” Watchorn said. Coun. Mary Storry, who sits on the Community Partnership Committee, said the volunteer members spent a lot of time considering each request and it was clear not all of them fit under the city’s grant-in-aid policy. She said despite the fact some groups were tur ned down, most groups ended up in better positions than in previous years. “I know last year the theme was more a little bit of panic because there were some bingo funds that may or may not come to pass,” Storry said. The following g r o u p s r e c e i ve d

grants for 2013, 2014, and 2015: Recreation and Culture Facility Rentals ($10,000); Museum at Campbell River ($170,479); Haig-Brown House ($43,200); Tidemark Theatre Society ($160,000); Arts Council ($20,000); Salmon Fe s t iva l ( $ 2 0 , 0 0 0 ) ; Search and Rescue ($9,500); Writer’s Festival Society ($2,000); Greenways Land Trust ($9,000); Citizens on Patrol ($2,500). The following received grants for 2013 and 2014: Art Gallery ($49,500) and Shoreline Arts Society ($5,000). Grants for 2013 are going to: River City Arts Festival ($1,000); Twinning Society ($2,400); Museum for an exhibit upgrade ($12,500); and Rivercity Players ($10,000) pending it provide the city with a copy of its lease agreement.

Mayor Jakeway...wake up and smell the coffee The taxpayers of Campbell River have just spent more than $37,000 to tell them something they already know. Mayor Walter Jakeway has turned into a one man wrecking crew and everyone else at city hall has all but lost the ability to We say: Take a communicate respectfully or effectively. long look in the Municipal consultant George Cuff ’s mirror and mend audit of city hall reveals a local government that has lost touch with your ways its mandate to generously serve the broad interests of the community. When you digest Cuff ’s report it boils down to this:

We elected a mayor who believes it is his job to stomp around like a bull in a china shop; and, a culture of abuse has taken hold in which verbal assaults on senior staff are considered an acceptable way of doing business. When Jakeway ran for mayor a year ago he was pretty clear that he wanted to shake up the city. The majority of voters agreed with his premise that there was an “old boys” mentality at city hall that needed to be refreshed. That said, voters did not give Jakeway a mandate to be rude and offensive to his colleagues on council and to senior staff. Voters had every right to assume that Jakeway was entering political life with a basic

understanding that his voice would be one of several on council and that his power to effect change would spring from his ability to achieve consensus. Mayor Jakeway has repeatedly shown that he does not have the slightest idea how democracy works in a municipal setting. He is persuaded that if he yells loud enough the status quo will collapse and an efficient administration will rise from the dust. Is the mayor the only problem at city hall? Certainly not. Is change needed? Certainly it is. But change is about leadership and Mayor Jakeway needs to take a long look in the mirror and mend his ways or the final two years of his mandate will be grim.

Perennial naysayers Re: “Cohen commission report must be acted upon,” “Don’t be duped by story,” Nov. 7, 2012 Perennial aquaculture naysayers Leona Adams and Paul Dean seem to believe that if they repeat myths often enough, people will think they are facts. They make numerous claims about the Cohen Commission report which are plainly false at worst, and distortions of the truth at best. The good news is that anyone with a computer can easily test their claims for themselves. The entire report is available online for the public to read. In his report, Justice Bruce Cohen plainly states that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that salmon farms are in any way linked with the decline of sockeye salmon. He also points out that the decline is coastwide, from Alaska to California, and that the “elephant in the room” is climate change. Too bad that Adams and Dean, who are eager to play the role of our environmental guardians, have completely ignored the “elephant in the room.” Cohen’s report is a “proceed with caution” message for salmon farms. He suggests more research to Continued on A11 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Celebrate Remembrance Day and ignore the polls There is a bit of controversy spawned by some opinion polls regarding commercial businesses playing Christmas music and putting up decorations so early. It seems that the most common opinion is that, out of respect for our veterans, we should not enter into the festive mood until after Remembrance Day. We have opened the doors of the Christmas Bureau, complete with a tree and decorations, but we hold off on the Christmas music until after Dec. 1. Some stores start putting up lights and decorations the day after Halloween and some wait until later. I have spoken to some of the old soldiers who have their pic-

ture on display in the City of war documentaries and the warLangley. They talk about how time movies.

We continue to move on, just as they did, in the mud and the snow and the desert sand, pushing ahead to preserve our way of life. I believe we are asked to remember them but not to mourn for them or grieve for them, but to celebrate their sacrifices and victories. So many towns and cities celebrated with lights and music when their boys returned and I’m

sure no one took notice of what season it was. They were just glad it was over. I can only imagine what a soldier might think if he comes home this week to see his house ablaze in Christmas lights in November. What a spectacular homecoming that would be and not disrespectful at all. Don’t take my word for it and don’t pay too much attention to the polls. Go to the ceremonies on Sunday and ask the people it really matters to. At least that’s what McGregor says. Jim Mcgregor is a Black Press columnist with the Langley Times.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

The people won’t be silenced T

he autumn weather is gaining in intensity and so is the opposition to the Northern Gateway Pipeline. The turnout for the anti-pipeline rally in Victoria was huge. The BC Liberals may try to silence the democratic process by refusing to reconvene the legislature but the rally showed people won’t let their democratic voices be silenced. It was great to be part of it and, two days later, to mingle with those who came to my Campbell River office to add their voices in protest. On Enbridge the official opposition New Democrats have said we would: take back provincial authority for conducting environmental reviews the BC Liberals gave away to Ottawa, with-

Unfortunately the BC Liberal government did not listen when it came to the BC Ferry Commissioner’s warnings about the ferry fares saying they had reached tipping point. Now there’s talk about changing schedules and cutting services to fix the mess the BC Liberals have created for our marine highway system. I would urge everyone who ever uses BC Ferries to attend the consultation meetings being held later this month. Health care remains a paramount concern and I continue to convene a hospital stakeholders group. A continued worry is the public-private partnership model under which VIHA is determined to construct our new hospital. This means a pri-

vate consortium will design it, build it and then maintain it. It is like leasing a car – except you can’t trade it in at the end of the lease – and is proven to be more expensive. VIHA is still not being open about whether that private model will also be used for food services, housekeeping and other non-medical services in the hospital. With no session of the legislature I am on the road quite a bit in the constituency and in my role as critic for Children and Family Development. Next week my schedule includes the Remembrance Day Service in Campbell River on Sunday as well as meeting with the Campbell River Young Professionals and the Campbell River Youth Action Committee.

Read scientific papers thoroughly Re: “Cohen commission report must be acted upon”; by Leona Adams; Opinion, Nov. 6. Ms. Adams claims that “Provincial and federal gover nment science proves net-pen salmon farms now pose more than a minimal risk of serious harm to the health of migrating Fraser River Sockeye Salmon.” I disagree. In a televised interview last April I stated

Warning for Ocean Grove area We have found an strain of black widow spiders in our home and noticed a few around the vents to the outside. Black widows are rare in Bristish Columbia but we do have them. Might be a good idea to keep an eye out for them. Be aware also that immature black widow’s red area is not as distinict but there is still some tell tell markings to look for. Jessica Goodwin Campbell River

Where was the government? While the public is stuck with ICBC as it’s insurer, ICBC CEO Jon Schubert earned $486,541 in pay and bonuses. Was government not keeping an eye on what was hap-

that piscine reovirus (PRV) was common in BC farmed salmon but not a concern. Ms. Adams quoted two scientific papers that seemed to dispute my assessment of PRV risk. Scientific papers are a good source of information, but they need to be read completely and interpreted with care. For example, the 2012 paper that she

cites as evidence that PRV causes the disease HSMI also says, “PRV is almost ubiquitously present in Atlantic salmon marine farms, and detection of PRV alone does not establish an HSMI diagnosis.” That means that without evidence of disease, the fact that fish have PRV cannot be used to prove anything about the risk to wild salmon. Ms. Adams also

pening? With his resignation and interim president and CEO Mark Blucher, I sincerely hope that things get better for us as taxpayers. We have lived here for over 10 years, never reported an accident or bought a new or luxury vehicle and yet this year we were hit with a $20/month increase. WHY? This is indeed a scathing audit that shows the ballooning of senior managers and their meteoric pay increases and bonuses. When will the paying of bonuses to mangers end. ICBC is a monopoly and managers are paid for doing their JOB, so why are they given bonuses? Any profits should be returned to the taxpayers as it used to be, not paid to managers in bonuses OR to have the government siphon

off the profits for their own use. Judy A. Campbell Campbell River

Should ferries be treated like highways? The operating cost of ferries is an important distinction from highways. The solution to the perceived problem could be to allow BC Ferries to go bankrupt, so the sunk costs can be written off, and allow a new operator to take over the distressed fleet and reset fares and services outside the distorting political influence of government subsidies. Water and sewer provide a precident for good management of public services. These are essential services that use costs to control supply and demand. Chuck Howard

expressed concer n about smolts being exposed to 650 billion infectious particles per hour during an IHN virus outbreak on a fish farm. That sounds like a lot of virus, but viruses are very small. It would take about 11,000 years for the infected farm to release enough IHN virus to fill a single sockeye salmon egg. More importantly,

DFO research published in 1993 (Disease of Aquatic Organisms) showed that when sockeye salmon smolts were exposed to IHN-infected Atlantic salmon for 37 days, 96 per cent survived. Also, infected sockeye salmon did not spread the virus to other sockeye salmon. Gary D. Marty Fish Pathologist BC Ministry of Agriculture

Cohen: Now is the time to move on from the same old debates Continued from A8 show definitively that farms do not harm wild salmon runs, and we’re happy to follow his advice. Aquaculture is part of the solution to saving wild salmon. You can’t save wild fish by catching and eating them all. We provide a healthy, safe alternative source of seafood to meet the growing demand which capture

fisheries just can’t meet. The Cohen report shows that far med and wild salmon can co-exist in the same ocean. Now is the time to move on from the tired old debates and work together on tackling the “elephant in the room.” Grant Warkentin, Mainstream Canada Communications Officer

Clinic donates gift of hearing to Rotary Auction When the 38th Annual Rotary TV Auction takes place later this month, successful bidders will walk away with good deals while helping a great cause. For one lucky person, though, a winning bid will also mean a whole new quality of life. In support of the auction, Campbell River Hearing Clinic has donated a complete hearing aid package valued at more than $7,700 that will be up for bid with no reserve. Because of its expense, clinic owner Martin Jurek says he wants anyone who’s considering bidding on the item to understand the value of the package so they can feel comfortable placing a bid. “What we’re offering are the most advanced hearing instruments available,” he explains. “We’re also including a wireless package that connects to the wearer’s TV, home phone, cell phone, computer or iPad. I’ll personally make a house call to install these devices should the successful bidder need help with set-up.” Just as important – if not more so – as the device itself, he continues, is the custom set-up, unlimited

interactive software, LACE therapy effectively “retrains the brain” to decipher speech. “It’s not like getting a pair of glasses,” says Jurek. “You can’t just throw in some hearing aids and expect to hear perfectly, yet 97 per cent of hearing practitioners overlook this crucial therapy. The winner of this package, like every one of our clients, gets free lifetime follow-up appointments, including “fittings, cleaning, maintenance and adjustments due to hearing change.” Jurek, who opened Campbell River PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Hearing Clinic with his wife, Jana, in January 2010, says the donation is simply a way to show their commitment to, and appreciation of, their community. “First off, Rotary International is a great organization,” says Jurek. “Three years ago, when Jana and I were looking for a place to live and start our hearing clinic, it was the Sea Walk, Rotary Beach Park and Ken Ford Park that impressed us as we drove along the highway. Contributing to the Rotary Auction is a way of thanking the community and all the people who make it so great.” The Rotary TV Auction takes place November 23 and 24 on Shaw Cable, with online prebidding opening November 14 at www.rotarytvauction.com. All funds raised will be reinvested in local community projects. Jurek strongly encourages anyone considering this item to visit Campbell River Hearing Clinic at 780-D 13th Avenue, or online at www.tohear.ca, to learn more about hearing aids and hearing rehabilitation.

Hydro to head 'em off at the trail bypass KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Construction on a new, temporary trail to divert Canyon View trail users away from the John Hart Dam Generating Station is expected to begin as early as this winter. S t e p h e n Wat s o n , spokesperson for BC Hydro, told council Tuesday night that the bypass trail, which will

go around the backside of the BC Hydro property, is slated for construction before the end of the year. The bypass, dubbed the Station View Trail, will hook up to the Canyon View Trail near the river and along the edge of the BC Hydro property in order to reroute trail users away from construction at the generation station, expected to begin in

2013. â€œWe have the Station View Trail that comes inland...around the construction site, so that will provide trail continuity during construction,â€? Watson said. â€œWeâ€™re looking to construct that this winter and it might take three months to complete, subject to weather conditions. Weâ€™ll have the Station View Trail and the

Canyon View Trail, as it exists today through the John Hart Generating Station and around the generating station, in place until next summer or fall.â€? That section of the Canyon View will then be closed off until construction at the generating station is complete and the trail is re-established along the river. The Station View Trail is expected to be in use for five years. Hydroâ€™s $1 - $1.2 billion plan to upgrade Campbell Riverâ€™s generating station is currently in front of the B.C. Utilities Commission for review and a verdict is expected in February 2013. On Hydroâ€™s side is the fact the corporationâ€™s three major customers â€“ residential, commercial,

and industrial, as well as the City of Campbell River â€“ have all passed judgement that the project should proceed. If it does, construction to build a new generating station, and the replacement of the wood stave pipelines running from John Hart Lake to the generating station with a two-kilometre long tunnel, could begin next summer. In addition to the Canyon View Trail, the project will also impact Brewster Lake Road and the entrance to Elk Falls Provincial Park. Brewster Lake Road, and the old wooden bridge just before Elk Falls park, is expected to be closed for up to three years. â€œWe will get that started in late summer

or fall of next year,â€? Watson said. â€œIn the interim, we have a road that will go in near the pipelines and there will be parking spots, a community site office and a trail that will offer access into the park during the road closure. Through discussions with BC Parks, weâ€™re actually looking to construct a permanent road access and parking. So about 80 parking spots for RVs, parking for buses, that do not exist today and thatâ€™ll be a project legacy. Parks is potentially looking at removing or decommissioning the two parking spots within the park, so this parking lot access could be a very good opportunity for Parks.â€? Hydro has also been

working closely with the city, which stands to lose its existing drinking water system because of the replacement of the three large pipes that transport water from John Hart Dam to the generating station with the tunnel. The city has drawn its drinking water from those pipes for 65 years. Hydro has committed to pay up to 75 per cent of the costs to build a new drinking water supply system, or up to $12.5 million. Mayor Walter Jakeway and Coun. Ron Kerr have long advocated that Hydro should pay the full cost, estimated between $15 and $20 million, because itâ€™s Hydroâ€™s project and therefore the power corporationâ€™s responsibility.

Mobile MRI comes to Campbell River BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

VIHA’s new Mobile Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) service has set up shop outside Campbell River Hospital. Officially launched Oct. 4, the mobile unit is bringing the latest medical imaging technology to the Campbell River, Comox Valley, Duncan and Port Alberni areas. “The mobile MRI is a great benefit for patients, and VIHA is pleased to bring this service to (these) communities,” said Don Hubbard, VIHA Board Chair. “Most patients will be able to receive their scans in the mobile MRI unit therefore reducing the need for patients to travel to larger centres for diagnostic testing.”

Question: I’ve recently been diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes and my doctor suggested I see my dentist. Why?

Answer: Diabetes affects many Canadians each year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process.

Old or expired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms can be recycled!

The most common oral health problems associated with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to Dr. Kevin Lathangue tooth loss. When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic inflammation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with floss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.

Perfor ming songs in the style of Janis Joplin, Etta James and Aretha Franklin, CURL features Helen Davies on lead vocals and guitar, Dee Cooper on keyboards, Susan Johnson on bass guitar and Christa Rossner on drums. “We’re pretty excited about playing at the Heriot Bay Inn again,” said Davies. “All of us

love Quadra Island and really appreciate the wonderful people who come to the HBI to see us. “It’s true what they say: ‘if there’s no audience, there ain’t no show’ – and we’ve always had wonderful audiences on Quadra!” Primarily a blues band, CURL also plays a wide variety of music with crossgenerational appeal including songs by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, the Temptations,

the Mavericks and even Tennessee Ernie Ford. Operating in and around Victoria for the past ten years, CURL was featured at Victoria’s 2009 Loudspeaker Festival; at the 2010 Rosedale Ridge minifestival at Cowichan Station; and earlier this year opened for aw a rd - n o m i n at e d bluesmen Bill Johnson and David Vest.

Campbell River Living Movember in the River...a shave and a bash A

ssociated Tire owner Kermit Dahl is bracing for the loss of the moustache that he has been sporting since 1981. And, the goatee goes with it. Dahl joins hundreds of Campbell River men who are taking up the â€œMovemberâ€? challenge to help defeat prostate cancer. But, instead of growing a â€˜stache, heâ€™s losing one. Dahl was challenged by employees David Dahl and Jordan Hirschfeld who are confident they will reach their goal of raising $5,000 by monthâ€™s end. They have about $4,000 to go. â€œItâ€™s a good cause,â€? Dahl says. â€œAll of us have been touched by cancer.â€? Back in 2005 the Campbellton tire shop owner shaved his head to raise money for the Cops for Cancer campaign. His

mother-in-law, Carol Frank, had been diagnosed with leukemia that would take her life. Readers who want to help the cause and make sure Dahl is forced to shave away his trademark facial hair can donate by going to Movember. com (Canada) on the Internet. Click on â€œDonateâ€? in the navigation bar, type in â€œTired of Cancerâ€? and follow the prompts. Movember campaigns with similar challenges are playing out in scores of businesses across the city. On Nov. 29 Byron â€œMoâ€? Maier is throwing a must-attend bash at Moxieâ€™s from 6 to 10 p.m. Maierâ€™s annual â€œA Mo for the Brosâ€? gala supports prostate cancer and menâ€™s health initiatives. There will be prizes and a silent auction. Last year, about 100 showed up. â€œThis is my third

him at Byron@byronmaier.com Unlike Kermit Dahl, normally guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face on Nov. 1. For the rest of the month, these â€œMo Brosâ€? groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, â€œMo Sistas,â€? Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts. These Mo Bros become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of menâ€™s health. Last year, more than $42 million was raised in Canada.

CROSSWORD

The week of November 4 –10, 2012

ARIES Your leadership qualities are in demand, either at work or elsewhere. Indeed, don’t be surprised if you have to replace a colleague for an undetermined period of time. TAURUS Plans for going away with the family for Christmas are starting to firm up. However, settling a few details will take longer than planned. GEMINI You succeed in getting in touch with a lot of people. This is possibly because you are responsible for an event that requires your communication and organizational skills. CANCER There are sure to be a few hours of overtime to put in at the office this week. You will be generously rewarded for them, but it will require some adjusting of your schedule. LEO A lot of action comes your way this week. Your friends could very well issue you some kind of challenge. You will also succeed in obtaining funds for a special project. VIRGO You feel as if you’re not making any progress, but soon things will seem to suddenly accelerate. Check your bills carefully; to err is human. LIBRA You are in good company and you will successfully accomplish a team exploit. You could receive a reward or an honourable mention for your venture. SCORPIO You reap many benefits from being creative. You are highly successful at work, where there will be lots of clients to attend to. This could give you some extra income. SAGITTARIUS Rushing around won’t do you any good. If you can avoid falling behind in your responsibilities, you’ll manage to get everything done in time. An unexpected trip might come up. CAPRICORN Avoid suffering from heartburn by making small changes in your diet and, especially, by learning how to relax on a more regular basis. Your health requires good life balance. AQUARIUS Even though you know very well that you have the right answer, you might take several days to reveal it. It doesn’t hurt to keep people waiting sometimes. PISCES You might have to wait longer than planned before receiving the results of some medical tests. The love of your life will have a very special thought for you. ANSWER TO CROSSWORD

adopted a motion by Coun. Andy Adams to send a letter of support for the approval of SRM’s investigative licenses to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena, a Quadra resident, says her party is very interested in exploring green energy initiatives and “tidal power is more viable that wind, solar or run-ofriver.” She cautions that the NDP remains very concerned about t h e g o ve r n m e n t ’s “secret deals” with independent power producers that have saddled BC Hydro with long contracts for very expensive power.

Strathcona Regional District (SRD) Director Jim Abram says there is no way tidal power generation projects should be considered in south Discovery Passage and Seymour Narrows. He also questions why a public meeting on a proposal to investigate tidal potential is being held at Rivercorp’s offices in Campbell River rather than on Quadra where the stakeholders are concentrated. However, Scot Merriam, the principal of the proponent, Nanaimo-based SRM Projects Ltd., says some of Abram’s concerns are valid. “It is possible some areas are not the best for development. That’s why we have these processes.” He also says he will certainly consider

This entire area has been applied for in the past and was unsuccessful. So why are we having to go through it again?” Abram says holding the meeting at Rivercorp could leave his Quadra constituents with the impression this is a Campbell River sponsored event. “It will be difficult for them to attend an event of this importance in Campbell River rather than on Quadra Island.” On Tuesday Campbell River City Council

As the Area Director I have already commented to the BC Lands Branch on the inappropriateness of applications in this area due to extreme tidal action and weather events.” Abram says he supports tidal energy and gave his blessing to the Canoe Pass tidal energy tenure and rezoning at Maude Island. “This is quite different.

Daphne Simone Limoges

November 4, 1974 - November 1, 2012

Daphne passed away suddenly on November 1, 2012 at her home in Comox at age 37. Daphne is survived by her husband Bill Robertson, daughter Caitlin, sons Blaine and Logan and her only Uncle, Bryan. Daphne was a friend to many with a smile that was brighter than the sun and bigger than life itself. She lived her life to the fullest and was truly a family oriented mom, wife and dear friend. Daphne was taken from us much too soon, and she will be dearly missed by all. A celebration of her life will take place on Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 1:00p.m. at Comox Valley Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre, 1101 Ryan Road, Courtenay. For those wishing, a donation in her memory may be made to a charity of oneâ€™s choice.

Gayle Gardham (nee Wolsey) October 28, 1953 â€“ October 25, 2012

:PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET

It is with deep regret we announce the passing of Gayle (Wolsey) Gardham on October 25, 2012. Gayle was born in Calgary, October 28th,1953 with an innate sweetness that would touch everyone who met her. One of Gayleâ€™s great gifts was her ability to feel compassion and kindness for everyone she met, and she shared her heart genuinely with so many people. Her passion and excitement for life was infectious; there was truly no one more excited at a rock concert than Gayle, who was guaranteed to lose her voice after every single one. Although Gayle had a well known love for music and could sing along to any Bob Dylan or Rolling Stones song, she is most recognized and admired for her love of her sons, Mark and Dylan. Gayle raised these two wonderful boys, who exemplify their momâ€™s best qualities in their own quiet ways. No mom loved her children more. Gayle was also blessed with a new love later in life. Murray and Gayle were together for 17 years and built a wonderful life, ďŹ lled with grandchildren, travel, ďŹ shing, and a winter home in Arizona. Gayle was the third born of four siblings, and our family has been blessed because of the way these siblings loved and supported each other through all of lifeâ€™s ups and downs. Together, learning from their motherâ€™s example, they have taught our family values, strength and togetherness. Gayle was a pillar in our family and made each and every one of us feel important and heard. Her presence in our lives has made a deep impact forever. Gayle used her beautiful heart in her work in corrections, social service and for Government Make Work projects, and through volunteering for the Red Cross and Run for the Cure. Gayle is survived by her loving husband, Murray who did not leave her side during her last few months; her sons Mark (Terra) and Dylan (Natalie); her step-daughters Shawna and Cheri (Rod); her sister Colene (Dave), her brothers Ray (Shelley) and Clay (Monica); and her loving grandchildren, nieces and nephews, family and friends. Gayle requested there be no funeral service, however, a Celebration of Life will be held at a yet to be determined time. In lieu of ďŹ‚owers please make a donation in Gayleâ€™s honour to a Womenâ€™s Transition House of your choosing. The family would like to thank the staff of Vancouver General Hospitalâ€™s Leukemia ward for their compassionate care and support. Gayle- in the words of your favourite artist, Bob Dylanâ€œMay God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true, may you always do for others, and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung, May you stay forever young.â€?

Charles Joseph Casorzo February 10, 1934October 29, 2012

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Charlie at the Campbell River Hospital on October 29, 2012. He leaves to mourn his wife Beverley of 56 years, his sons Wade (Janet) and Dean, grandsons Bryce, Brett, Jason (Laura), great granddaughter Caleigh and extended family Jennifer and Rita. Charlie was born February 10,1934 in South Wellington, B.C. At a young age the family moved to Comox Lake and then to Cumberland where Charlie grew up. Charlie moved to Campbell River in 1955 where he was employed in the mill construction and later became an employee. Over the years Charlie worked in the mining, logging, ďŹ shing industry, and boat and car sales. In later years he was employed at the Harbourview gas barge. Charlie was always game for his favourite pastime of playing Bridge. The family would like to thank Dr.Walker, the Emergency Room doctors, and all the nurses and staff at the hospital for their wonderful care. Many thanks to Janine and the homecare nurses for their support. We would also like to thank Pastor Art for his prayers and support during this difďŹ cult time. There will be a Celebration of Life at the Campbell River Baptist Church, 260 South Dogwood St., Saturday November 17, 2012 at 2:00pm. In lieu of ďŹ‚owers, a donation to the C.R. Hospital Foundation or the Cancer Society would be appreciated.

RAMESBOTTOM

James David Melvin October 3, 1942 to November 2, 2012 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our wonderful son, father, grandfather, husband and friend, Jim Ramesbottom. Jim passed away Nov. 2nd at his home with his family by his side. Jim was born and raised in Sarnia, Ontario, he joined the Navy at the age of 17 years and retired after 22 years as Captain. After leaving the Navy he followed his passion and went fishing (Commercial Fishing), for 25 years and retired in 1999. As a dedicated fisherman Jim sat on the board of the Comox Valley Harbour Authority from 1996 to 1999. After retiring from the board Jim continued his association with the Harbour Authority returning as Project Manager for the construction projects which included the refurbishing of the west side Breakwater walkway and the new â€œHâ€? float on the east side. Following retirement he took up his other passion of golfing and RVing...going south for the winters. He was predeceased by his father James Alexander and his brother Tim Bradshaw. He will be greatly missed by his Mom and Step-Dad, Lillian and Gerald Bradshaw; his wife Lorraine; daughters JoAnne Timms (Kyle) and Rebecca Ramesbottom; brother-in-laws Dale Elderkin, Roy Elderkin; sister-in-law Bev Henderson; his extended family Dennis Mossey and Korey Mossey and also his 8 grandchildren: Maya, Kylie, Anna, Brooke, Tyson, Livea, Lola and Ryan. Jim was very much a family man, who really enjoyed life. Throughout the years and through his different travels he made many good friends and will be deeply missed and never forgotten. The family would like to thank Dr. Shoesmith, Jan and all the staff at Highland Medical Clinic along with the home care nurses for all their help and support. A Celebration of Jimâ€™s Life will be held Nov. 24th, 1:00 p.m. at the Upper Legion Hall, 1825 Comox Ave. Comox, B.C.

Keeping the momentum going

Drive Smart BC Blame the Driver, Not the Highway 2X14 2X14

KRISTEN DOUGLAS

After many horrific motor vehicle crashes in our province comes a call for highway improvements. For the most part, the call should be for driver improvements instead. Travelling past the site of one such recent incident in my neighbourhood it struck me that inappropriate speed, failing to maintain space margins, lack of lane discipline and poor communication needs to be improved before the highway does.

TYEE TYEE CHEV CHEV

It almost goes without saying that the majority of the drivers have difficulty following speed limits. This is a particularly poor practice when the road conditions are not ideal, yet you will often see vehicles speeding and passing when traction is less than optimal. Travel speeds below the posted limit may be called for to maintain safe travel. Space margins and lane discipline go hand in hand. Tailgating, changing lanes too closely in front of following vehicles and failing to maintain a clear space in the adjacent lane to leave yourself an out are commonly observed in daily driving. Add the inability to always maintain a proper lane position and the risk of collision rises. When is the last time that you saw a driver who failed to signal? Chances are you see this every day. You may also notice that much of the signaling is done after the vehicle starts to make the signalled move. This is really wasted information as the signal needs to be made well before the move so that other drivers may prepare for it. Before you complain about the highway, make sure it is not yourself that is the greater hazard! The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience.

The items are then turned over to the Salvation Army which distributes the items to the needy through its Community and Family Services Program and Lighthouse Centre during the fall and winter months. “One of the things I find very unique about this is, they (White Hat) clean all the

at White Hat and the community at large for their support over the years,” Mack said. “It’s also such a nice bonus that they professionally clean all the donations free of charge.”

Harris said a few coats have already started to come in, but he’s expecting donations to pick up as the weather changes and people start to dig out their old winter coats.

Bantam Tyees come together as a team The No. 1 Autobody Bantam A Tyees played a pair of games last weekend; a Division 1 regular season game at home against Victoria Racquet Club (VRC) and an exhibition game in Port Alberni. The Tyees have had their ups-and-downs in the early going of the regular season. While the effort has been there most of the time, they haven’t had a complete team game and it’s shown on the scoreboard. They were on the wrong end of a 4-2 score against Juan de Fuca after leading most of the game and also lost a 5-4 game against Cowichan Valley at home. On Saturday, Nov. 3, the Tyees hosted Victoria Racquet Club (VRC) at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The game started fast and VRC worked a set play off of a face-off to find the open player at the side of the net for a tap-in goal to take the early lead. The Tyees replied quickly as Josh Coblenz leveled the score with a tap-in rebound off a

The Tyee’s Tyler Dickson flips the puck top-shelf over the Victoria Racquet Club goalie to put the Tyees up 4-1 early in the second period during Saturday’s game scramble. With their close-butno-cigar efforts fresh in their minds, the Tyees kept trying to put everything on the Victoria goal. That paid off as Coblenz wired a shot that over-powered the Victoria goalie to give the Tyees the lead. Now fully engaged and motivated, Sage Lim worked some magic to put a shot on net that the VRC goalie couldn’t quite control. Coblenz

jumped on the rebound and buried it for a natural hat-trick and a Tyee 3-1 lead at the end of the first period. The second period had stronger forechecking by the Tyees, combined with good break-outs of their own end. Coblenz got the puck to Liam Rivett at the point for a howitzer of a shot that Dickson redirected for the fourth Tyees’ goal. Second period ended with the score 4-1.

Tyee goalie Kyle Franceschini was playing well and controlling rebounds but VRC managed to score two quick goals to narrow the Tyee lead to 4-3. That’s when Lim made a sick deke in the of fensive zone, Coblenz followed up and snapped a wrist shot into the top corner to restore the two goal advantage. The Tyees took advantage of a power-play with Brendan Hoff firing a cannon on net that the VRC goalie never saw as it went by him for a 6-3 lead. VRC made it 6-4 with two minutes to go but gave up another to Lim as he put the biscuit into the empty net for a final

score of 7-4. The Tyees out-shot VRC 47-26 in this game. O n S u n d ay t h e team travelled to Port Alberni to take on the Bulldogs. Tyee goalie Dominik Bellefleur got the start and played well in net. The Tyees applied forechecking pressure early, resulting in a Port Alberni penalty at 14:39 of the first period. Some patient puck movement resulted in the Tyee’s Darian Swift taking a pass from Dustin Kew at the right hash-mark and rocketing a quick snapshot to make it 1-0 Tyees. The Tyees dominated the next six to seven minutes, with Alberni rarely getting the puck

deep. Coblenz found a wide open Kew at the blueline. Kew quickly snapped a shot that Lim tipped to make it 2-0. The second period started with the Tyees creating all kinds of chances but failing to score. Coblenz was leading by example as he was hitting anything that got in his way. He was rewarded for his efforts soon after when he beat the Alberni goaltender for a 3-0 lead. In the third period the Tyees got a little too aggressive clearing the net and found themselves down two men. Port Alberni wasted little time scoring to make it 3-1. With five minutes left

in the third, Lim found Dickson open behind the net and as the D-men left the front of the net, Coblenz snuck in and received a perfect Dickson pass. Coblenz snapped a shot high blocker side to make it 4-1. Coblenz put the icing on the cake as he raced in to find the loose puck 10 feet out in front of the Alberni net with nothing but the goalie facing him...5-1 Tyee victory. The Tyees are heading to Penticton for a tour nament Nov 9-12.

Penalties wind up costing peewees T he Mainstream Biological Consulting Peewee B Tyees played its second league game last Saturday versus Saanich at Pearkes arena in Victoria. The game started with a bang as Riley Billy put one past the Braves net minder but the rest of the period saw the Tyees trying to keep up and their goalkeeper stopping shot after shot. Saanich would tie up the game in the last five minutes of the period. Five minutes into the second period affiliate player Heydon Campbell came down the ice in a breakaway on the power play to make a beauty shot that ended up in the upper right hand corner of the net to make it 2-1 for the Tyees. Ben Wellman and Dakota Sinclair also got on the scoreboard this game. A penalty shot for the Tyees in the third was stopped by Saanich which was soon followed by a Saanich goal on a twoman advantage. With

over a couple minutes left on the clock and Saanich trailing one goal Saanich pulled its goalie but the Tyees came out on top with a win of 4-3. On Sunday the team faced Victoria Racquet Club. This game emotions proved to run high and despite the Tyees playing well against the faster team, the Tyees played shorthanded a lot of the time and goaltender Sam Ellis (with 37 blocked shots this game) and the Tyees defence were kept busy trying to keep the puck out of the net. Sage Cameron and Wellman managed to get the puck past the RC goaltender with helpers from Gordon Ludvigson and Nicholas Williamson. Final score for this game, 7-2 Victoria. The Tyees are at home Saturday, Nov. 17 4 p.m. vs. Nanaimo in exhibition play and a league game at home on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 12:45 p.m. vs. the Oceanside Generals.

REMEMBRANCE DAY NOVEMBER 11, 2012 Campbell River Ceremony at the Cenotaph 11:00am

A place of reﬂection

A ﬂower, a poem, a campaign Remembrance Day on November 11 commemorates the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year 1918. This is when the Armistice was signed and is also the date marking the of¿cial end of the First World War. To commemorate this day, you are invited to participate in the annual Poppy Campaign, the Royal Canadian Legion’s main source of fundraising, which allows this organization to continue its work with veterans in need.

Nowadays, Remembrance Day includes all wars that have occurred since the Great War. Indeed, there has not been a single day since 1918 that has not been marked by a war or armed conÀict somewhere on this planet. So, to put an end to all wars, people across the country wear poppies in their lapels and decorate war memorials with wreaths and bunches of poppies on November 11. Why poppies? Because this red Àower recalls the famous poem “In Flanders Fields”, written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae during the First World War. This is the most frequently read and quoted poem about war. It is the mention of poppies in the ¿rst and last verses that has turned this Àower into an emblem of remembrance and a symbol of new growth in the devastation left by war.

PHOTO: PHOTOS.COM / THINKSTOCK

We must all remember the terrible toll wrought by the First World War: the death of 16.5 million people, including 9.7 million military personnel. The Second World War, the bloodiest conÀict in our history, saw the deaths of 60 million souls, one third of which were military personnel. Please visit www.veterans.gc.ca for more information about the Remembrance Day campaign.

In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. – Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

During the month of November many Canadians, veterans, war widows, and family members take part in annual pilgrimages to the ¿elds of battle abroad. Of course, this custom does not often include the general public, but it is still possible to perpetuate this tradition in a tangible way by visiting one of the war memorials in your area. There are more than 6,600 memorials across Canada commemorating veterans and those who lost their lives. On November 11, Remembrance Day, why not take your family to a park or cemetery to visit a war memorial? Make the most of this moment to teach the younger generation about the importance of honouring those who sacri¿ced their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. This is also a marvellous opportunity to teach your children more about the work carried out by historical societies in communities across the country. Indeed, it is these societies who often help to pass on this heritage to those Canadians willing to listen. Your local historical society will be able to share literature and maybe even personal stories about the people from your town who went away to ¿ght. The Canadian government has developed programs to ensure that the cenotaphs and other monuments erected to the memory of those who lost their lives are maintained in an appropriate manner and that military events comprise all the suitable pomp ceremony. These programs also aim to help communities organize moments of silence in honour of fallen soldiers, a central feature of any Remembrance Day ceremony.

For the Fallen

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill: Death August and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

In life one man can seldom see His impact in society Our soldiers fight to blinded eyes To allow us all to live our lives Taking up arms against a foe To save us from the pain they know To give us all out liberty They bear the brunt of misery No greater duty can one bear An act of courage few would dare Endless sacrifices for 4 years Keeping back our greatest fears

November 11th is a day of love To remember those now up above Men and women far too great To be remembered upon one date No words bring justice to their fight But I will try with all my might To bring them honour for the days They fought to alay such evil ways No act of love could be so grand As one brave soldier’s final stand So now I will say at last We must remember what has past

Those who have died and those who live And all the thanks to them we give They are all those who meet the call Preserving good for one and all So on this day I ask you pray For heroes of our memory Thank for your sacrifice It was this act that gave us life. A poem by Mike, www.remembranceday.com

In Honour Of Those Who Saved The World

They mingle not with laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England’s foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain. Laurence Binyon

We Will Remember

Robert Beaton (left) & Fred Grimshaw

John Rankin Smith Born in Cobalt, Ont., Dr. Smith was a graduate of McGill medical school. He served in the medical branch of the Royal Canadian Navy from January 1941 to June 1947 in both sea duties in the Battle of Atlantic and ashore until he was able to take complete charge of the surgical work in the naval hospitals at Sydney and Halifax. He married Margaret Jean Stewart, RN, in 1939 and they had two surviving children: Jeanne Christine Smith of Campbell River and Rankin (Jane) Swift of Cortes Island. Dr. Smith passed away in Vernon in 1982.

“Both of my grandfathers served in W.W.1 for the duration of the world,” Laurel Lahay tells us. “My maternal grandfather, Fred Grimshaw (right, private with the 53rd Bn, Canadian infantry), survived the war after being severely injured at Lens, France (near Vimy). Fred spent two of the four war years hospitalized for various injuries. He was wounded by a bullet that went through his right arm and suffered shrapnel injuries to his legs and arm. He also suffered from keratitis, conjunctivitis, diphtheria, tonsillitis and the flu. According to his military medical records, a gangrene infection was discovered when a bomb casing was removed from his leg after an explosion at Lens. He was lame for the duration of his short life. After enlisting for WWII on June 23, 1941, in Vancouver, my father, Robert Beaton (left) served in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. After the war, Dad obtained his degree in Geological Engineering at the age of 30. He is now 91 and lives in Vancouver with his devoted wife of 60 years, Joyce. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my grandfathers and father for giving up four years of their lives to serve their country. Their lives were ever changed from war and we are forever indebted as our generation has greatly benefitted from their sacrifices.”

Gilbert Duff

David Herbert Scott Cpl. David Herbert Scott, with the Regina Rifle Regiment in the Second World War, was killed in action on Oct. 14, 1944 at the age of 32. He is the father of David Scott of Campbell River and the grandfather of Dan Scott of Campbell River and Ruth Mackenzie of Powell River. Dan honoured the family when he visited his grandfather’s grave in Belgium on Sept. 30, 2012.

When WWI broke out, Gilbert Eadie Duff )pictured kneeling) enlisted in the 179th Battallion – Canadian Expeditionary Force of the Cameron Highlanders of Canada. He was sent to France in 1917 and was at Vimy Ridge where he was killed in action on Aug. 15 at the age of 27. Gilbert was posted as “missing, presumed dead” in France after the second battle of Ypres on Aug. 15, 1917. His name is written along with 11,285 other Canadian soldiers “missing, presumed dead.” His brother John was killed in France Nov. 26, 1916 (see next page).

John Duff John Rutherford Duff enlisted in the Canadian Infantry on March 27, 1916. He was in a trench when he was killed by a bomb attack. He had recently lost a good friend and was awaiting transfer to the ambulance unit when he died. He was 23 on Nov. 26, 1916 and is buried at the Ecoivres Military Cemetery in France. His older brother, Gilbert Duff (see previous page) died at Vimy Ridge on Aug. 15, 1917.

Edward Gillespie Norman Cowan Dick

Edward Bruce Gillespie joined the RCAF in 1942 and won his Wireless Air Gunner Wing. He was a member of the crew of a Liberator aircraft based in Ceylon on Oct. 26, 1943 when it failed to return from a photo reconnaissance. He was 22.

Norman Cowan Dick joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1942 and served on convoy duty in the North Atlantic escorting German submarines and their crews (interred as POW’s), back to Scotland and travelling from Newfoundland to Londonderry in Northern Ireland escorting convoys. After the war he purchased and published a weekly paper for 35 years. Norm passed in 2011 at the age of 95.

Joe Cowie

Doug Millar Few Canadians knew that the RCAF had two squadrons flying supply and support missions to the British 14th Army in Burma (now Myanmar). The 14th Army, Britain’s largest in the war at one million men, had to be entirely supplied by air, since the only port in Burma was Rangoon, held by the Japanese. The RCAF flew Dakotas (military DC3s), but of course were only two squadrons of many doing this supply mission. Douglas Millar belonged to 436 squadron which started operations from a second airstrip in Imphal in January, ‘45, and fortunately did not get attacked. Pictured is Millar and his crew somewhere on a landing strip in Burma. From L-R, Haughton (Robbie) Robinson, co-pilot from Mississauga; Fred Francis, navigator from Victoria; Olivier (Ollie) Langelier fom Ottawa; and Doug Millar from Oliver, Vancouver and now Campbell River.

Harold Smythe Harold Smythe served in WWII with the Edmonton Fusilliers.

Joseph W. J. Cowie signed up with the RCAF on June 2, 1942. He was sent to the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon to begin his training in radar, a new technical weapon that had been recently developed. He was assigned to England and joined up with RAF Squadron 17 SAAS. He was trained at a station situated on the Thames Estuary called “Blackhall” north of London. He later served in North Africa, Italy, Greece and Algiers. He was discharged on Oct. 17, 1945. After the war he returned to Brandon and worked for Canada Customs until he retired. He passed away on July 1, 2007 in Campbell River at the age of 85.
