Gold River highway washout repaired quickly BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Repair crews have quickly repaired a gapping washout on Highway 28 linking Campbell River and Gold River. A spokesperson for the Uplands Excavating said the company’s crews worked through the night and two-lane travel over a gravel surface was restored around 7 a.m. Tuesday on the highway near Forbes Landing about 12 kilometres west of Campbell River. The washout, four metres deep and at least eight metres across, occurred Monday morning when heavy rain overwhelmed a small culvert under the road. Ministry of Transport Area Manager Angie Allwood, at the
scene Monday afternoon, said: “We’re not exactly sure what happened. We’ve never had a previous issue at this spot. It could have been a blockage upstream that let loose. It was raining at the time.” Allwood said all emergency services, Myra Falls and Quinsam mines personnel and local residents were quickly informed of the road closure. Essential traffic was circumventing the washout using local logging roads, she said. Uplands Excavating had heavy equipment on site Monday afternoon. Uplands employee Chris Kool said a small “foot and a half ” culvert that failed was being replaced by one more than a metre in diameter.

Homeless: Shelter funded
ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR
Volunteers (from left)Sharon Cunningham, Audrey McCallum and Tom Green operate the penny rollers to process the thousands of pennies brought in already by Campbell River Mirror readers for the Pennies for Presents campaign.
Mirror’s ‘Pennies for Presents’ drive underway A Campbell River Mirror tradition – Pennies for Presents – is off to a flying start for the 16th Christmas season. Mirror staffer Marianne Graham, who organizes the newspaper’s fundraising campaign, says more than $2,300 worth of pennies are already “in the bank.” Last year the Mirror raised more than $6,800. As in years past, two of our carriers will go on a shopping spree and purchase a Santa-sized sack of presents for kids nine to 15 years old. Those gifts will go into Campbell River Knights of Columbus Christmas Hampers. Mir ror Publisher Zena Williams says: “When the Mirror’s parent company, Black Press, launched Pennies for Presents in 1996 the Mirror decided that we didn’t want to duplicate the effort already being made in the community by the Knights of Columbus. “The solution was simple. We decided to contribute the pennies towards buying presents for the Knights’ hampers. We’re proud to support the hamper fund each year and we’re proud of our readers who never cease to find jars of coins in their houses,
drawers and closets and drop them off at the Mirror office.” Many businesses also support the campaign by collecting coins or helping us out with the purchase of the presents. “The Mirror staff thanks you all for your support and would like you to know that yo u r c o n tributions go directly toward making Christmas special for needy families in
Campbell River,” Williams says. Pennies for Presents contributors who go to the trouble of rolling their pennies prior to dropping them off get to put their names in a draw for a gift hamper from Quality Foods. T h e Knights of Columbus invest many hours of volunteer work collecting, boxing and delivering the Christmas hampers. This

year’s Hamper Fund is now accepting applications. This is the 39th year that the Community Christmas Hamper Fund has been in existence. It is anticipated that approximately 1,200 hamper applications will be processed before the Dec. 11 deadline. Application forms are available at the Campbell River Employment and Income Assistance Office located at 833A 14th Avenue. Delivery day for the hampers will be Saturday, Dec. 22.
Continued from A1 The Coalition will spend $45,000 to keep the shelter open from 7 p.m.-7 a.m. every single night from now until March 31. Paul Mason, the chair of the Coalition, said the money will be taken from a $319,644 chunk of funding from the Vancouver Island Health Authority which is earmarked for developing housing for the homeless. The funding was being held for a 30-unit co-ed affordable housing facility, which Mason said the coalition still intends to build albeit a few years down the road. “Our long-term vision hasn’t changed to develop low-income housing in Campbell River but there are immediate needs on the street level in regard to the homeless,” Mason said.“What we decided as a coalition is that 25 per cent of that money we will use for immediate projects. There are immediate needs on the street level in regard to the homeless. So we decided to use some of the funds to address the things we can do immediately and make an impact.” Kevin Mack, Community Ministries Director with the Salvation Army which staffs the shelter, said this is the first time in the Salvation Army’s eight years of facili-
tating the program that it will be open every single night during the winter. “It’s great news for those who need it,” Mack said. “They’ll be able to come out of the elements and we will be able to serve them a nice sit down meal.” There are also 15 mats that provide a warm place to sleep for the night. The shelter, a community initiative, is a low barrier shelter meaning guests will not be turned away if under the influence of drugs and alcohol, though they must not pose a safety risk to themselves or others. For the past several years the shelter has only been funded by BC Housing to stay open on nights when the temperature falls below freezing, as per the organization’s criteria. Last year the shelter was open for 100 nights with 993 beds used to provide shelter for 108 people. Mack said having the shelter open every single night will also make it easier for guests who can’t always tell what the temperature is and if the shelter is open on any given night. “When we don’t know honestly from one night to another that it’s going to open, that’s when there’s confusion,” Mack said.

CUPE strike closes North Island College campus Classes cancelled for two days BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
CUPE picket lines disrupted classes for more than 870 North Island College (NIC) students and their 50 instructors Tuesday. The job action by CUPE Local 3479 support staff began at 6 a.m. and was expected to continue Wednesday. The union said it was the result of “failed last minute efforts by CUPE to get the provincial government to sign off on collective agreements with B.C.’s 3,000 CUPE college support workers.” The strike action includes all NIC campuses affecting 3,600 students, as well as Vancouver Island University, Camosun Col-
lege, College of the Rockies and the College of New Caledonia. At issue is a blockage in negotiations at the province’s Public Sector Employers’ Council and the Ministry of Advanced Education, says CUPE’s B.C. Colleges Coordinator Ian McLean. “If it wasn’t for government interference in collective bargaining, we would be heading to work this morning with a reasonable contract in our pocket. Instead, we are heading for the picket line.” CUPE community college support worker have been without a contract since 2010. The unionized workers are looking for a no-concessions, fouryear deal with two per cent wage increases in the last two years. This would be in line with other recent public sector settlements in B.C. “We have been working closely with our employers to do everything in our power to settle this round of bargaining,” McLean says. “We have met
and worked with those employers over the past two years and proposed settlements in line with all the other recent public sector contracts. We have worked with the assistance of a mediator to try to streamline the process. To date all of these efforts have failed because we are told by our employers that they don’t have a mandate to bargain from the government.” “The only reason we don’t have a deal is because the BC Liberals have dropped the ball. We remain committed to negotiating a fair and reasonable contract, and our door is always open, but this government’s interference in collective bargaining has pushed us to the point where our only alternative is job action,” says McLean. Other recent public sector wage settlements have been fouryear, no-concessions deals with “0, 0, 2 and 2 per cent” wage increases. McLean told The Mirrior CUPE “is open to the exact same
3x3
settlement.” NIC Director of Community Relations Susan Auchterlonie says in support of CUPE’s job action, the NIC’s Island College Faculty Association has advised its members to respect any picket lines that are established. “As a result, all oncampus instruction scheduled at NIC’s campuses in Campbell River, Comox Valley, Mount Waddington, Port Alberni, Ucluelet and the Tebo and Vigar vocational centres will be cancelled on those two days. Off-campus instruction, including clinical and practicum placements, and instruction taking place in-community will continue as scheduled.” All college campuses will remain open from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for students to access study space and limited student services, Auchterlonie says.

Season calls for road safety We might be quickly closing in on the most wonderful time of the year, but with our dark and wet roads, it is also one of the most dangerous. This combination has already claimed the life of one Nanaimo We say: Making resident this fall – a 28-year-old male cyclist died after a collision with a car smart decisions on Wall Street Friday. can reduce risk, As the Christmas season approaches, stress and tragedy we find ourselves hustling in all directions. Normal work and family obligations become more complicated with the need to shop for presents and attend social events. Everything
speeds up. Unfortunately, it is at a time when our roadways become the most dangerous. In dark and wet conditions, it is virtually impossible to see that pedestrian crossing the street in a marked crosswalk, or that cyclist moving toward you as you try to make a left-hand turn, or that deer running out from the ravine. But steps can be taken to not only be safer on the roads, but to also reduce the stress level of people on the move. Driving the speed limit is a good start. At 50 km/h, drivers can often react in time to a avoid an unexpected cyclist, pedestrian or animal. Making sure your tires are up to the job of winter
driving also helps. Cyclists can reduce their risk by ensuring they are visible, and are in a position where drivers can see them by riding in a predictable manner. Even pedestrians can reduce accidents by crossing the street only when it is certain that drivers in both directions are aware of their intentions. Making smart decisions, like planning effectively and not drinking and driving, can also reduce risk and stress. The Christmas season is a busy one but with a little care and attention to how we move around, we can ensure that everybody makes it home safely to enjoy the festivities. – Black Press

Book of Cohen readings Re: “I quote chapter and verse of the Cohen Commission scripture,” Nov. 16, Campbell River Mirror While I am glad to see Ms. Adams providing sources for her anti-salmon farming claims, she also shows how easy it is to misquote “scripture.” In constructing her sermon against aquaculture, which again ignores the “elephant in the room” of climate change identified by Justice Cohen, she has also ignored the context behind the “verses” she selects. In the same paragraphs she cherry-picks from, Justice Cohen makes it clear he is not suggesting salmon farms are doing harm, but that because of perceived risks, more research and a cautionary approach to future farm expansion is required: “I accept the evidence that management practices taken within net pens are intended to reduce the risk of disease as much as possible and to keep both farmed and wild fish healthy. However, I cannot determine on the evidence before me whether those measures ensure that the risk of serious harm from disease and pathogen transfer is a minimal one.

Reality check on teen suicide in British Columbia
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
If you find Premier Christy Clark’s campaign against teen bullying to be superficial or even self-serving, I’ve got news for you. It’s potentially worse than that. With the greatest respect to the family of Amanda Todd, her tragic case isn’t representative of teen suicide any more than it is typical of highschool bullying. A clearer and more disturbing picture emerges from the latest report of B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen TurpelLafond. It’s a survey of 89 child protection cases from 2007 to 2010, where 15 kids killed themselves and the rest inflicted serious self-injury, in some cases repeatedly. The word “bully” does not appear
in the report. It speaks of domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, addiction, and runaways targeted by street predators. Three quarters of the kids were removed from their homes to protect them from their parents. More than half are aboriginal. Its key conclusion is that shifting traumatized and mentally ill teens from institutional care to foster homes isn’t working. Earnest but inadequately trained foster parents and social workers can’t cope with kids who need diagnosis, treatment and supervision. Without that, kids shuffled through foster homes an average of a dozen times in three years, with little attachment to home or school. Some
were violent, no surprise given their formative years. I asked Turpel-Lafond about the B.C. government’s recent focus on bullying. She said it’s worthwhile, and there are parallels between Amanda’s case and more common teen suicides. One is isolation at moments of crisis. “Say you’re a middle-class parent with a child who hasn’t come out of their bedroom in six months, or you have a boy in foster care who’s in his 14th home,” she said. “They both want to kill themselves, so what do you do?” Ideally, you intervene and get them to a child psychologist. Parents or guardians who can’t afford $150 an hour can wait months for the Minis-
try of Children and Family Development to arrange it. And in the meantime, our supposedly family-based foster care system sends them to school. “I’m really worried about how [school-based anti-bullying programs] will affect the most vulnerable kids, because you start anonymously reporting someone as being a bully,” Turpel-Lafond said. “Yeah, we know they’re in the youth justice system. We know they’re troubled. By the way, they’ve been sexually and physically abused, jumped through 30 foster homes, and now we want to label them again?” This is not to suggest that the existing B.C. effort isn’t substantial.

Cohen: Read it for yourself
Car flips, impaired driver charged
Continued from A8 tion above on the likelihood of harm, too little research has been done on the effects of salmon farms and related diseases and pathogens on Fraser River sockeye for me to reach a conclusion either way” (Cohen Commission Final Report, Volume 3, Chapter 2, Page 23). “Data presented during this Inquiry did not show that salmon farms were having a significant negative impact on Fraser River sockeye. However, as noted
A 29-year-old Calgary woman is facing impaired driving charges after a Nov. 15 crash on Alder Street that left one car upside down in the front yard and two other vehicles heavily damaged in the driveway. Just before 2 a.m. police responded to the accident in the 100 block of Alder. The driver was located at the scene being tended to by witnesses and BC Ambulance. An odour of liquor was detected on the female driver’s breath. A screening device was used and resulted in a fail reading. The driver was treated at hospital and released. Breath samples were then obtained resulting in readings one and a half times over the legal limit. This incident was one of 246 calls for service handled by the Campbell River RCMP last week.
above, the statistical power of the database (containing fish health data from 2004 to 2010) was too low to rule out significant negative impact. I accept the evidence of Dr. Korman and Dr. Dill that scientists need another 10 years of regulatory data (until at least mid-2020) before they can more confidently identify any relationships that may exist” (Cohen Commission Final Report, Volume 3, Chapter 2, Page 24). But we could quote
“scripture” at each other all day. I encourage readers to not take my word for it, or Ms. Adams, but to go online and read the recommendations for themselves if they are really interested. At 1,200 pages, the report is as long as a “holy book” but like any religion out there, it’s always best to read the source for yourself, lest ye be duped.

Fletcher: Can’t even help the high risk kids we know Continued from A8 ministry reports that there are 2,221 front-line staff positions, of which 219 are currently vacant. It’s notoriously difficult to recruit, train and keep child protection workers, especially in remote communities. Turpel-Lafond says her latest figures show the child and youth mental health service
has 476 staff, with 21 vacancies and a government-wide hiring freeze. And many of those are doing double duty as community service managers. Those managers don’t even have reliable data on case loads, she said. They just know they’re overwhelmed and many of the kids aren’t being reached.
This is not about political blame. I can trace this problem back to when Grace McCarthy was children’s minister, and the NDP did no better. I’ve learned a bit about Riverview and Tranquille, asylums that were closed because of a modern belief that they were inhumane. At least they offered safety
and medical care to even the most damaged people. Right now our enlightened, progressive society can’t even help most of the kids we know are at high risk. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

McIvor residents want answers from city KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
McIvor Lake residents who want out of the city are demanding the municipality take action and are threatening legal action if its request remains ignored. A group of nine residents presented the city with a petition in late August declaring its intent to be excluded from the City of Campbell River under a section of the Local Government Act which allows a city to apply to the province for a reduction of its municipal area. City council voted to receive the petition at a council meeting Aug. 28 but have yet to take any action. Council had also heard a presentation from resident Aref Tabarsi about the poor condition of McIvor Lake Road in June of 2011. Council’s inaction has frustrated residents who are looking for answers. “It has been a few months since the
submission of our request and petition to be excluded from the city municipality,” write the residents of McIvor Lake Road in a letter to council dated Nov. 7. “We have not heard your decision as of yet. Our previous communications were similarly ignored. However, out of respect for the city, this letter is a reminder with one month notice to hear your decision. Otherwise, if ignoring the issue is the city’s strategy in dealing with our request, then we have no choice but to take further action through the Supreme Court.” Tabarsi, who lives on McIvor Lake Road and has been championing annexation from the city for months, doesn’t understand why he’s paying city taxes for services he’s not getting. “Why am I paying taxes as if I live in Willow Point or downtown?” Tabarsi wondered during a March presentation to the Strathcona Regional District (which would

h ave j u r i s d i c t i o n should the area be excluded from the city). “I don’t have anything, but I pay taxes at the city’s mill rate.” Laura Ciarniello, the city’s finance manager, has said McIvor Lake Road residents do not pay for sewer, water, garbage pick-up or any other city services they’re not receiving. Instead, property taxes go towards things all citizens benefit from such as public transit, policing, city roads, and recreational facilities. All city residents are charged a flat rate no matter where they live and that rate is applied to the value of a home, which is determined by the BC Assessment Authority. But Tabarsi and his neighbours feel the city is not doing its job and collecting taxes from people who are being neglected.
“For the entire six months of a year I’m driving on a public road that’s only been graded once,” Tabarsi said. “It’s unbearable. Collecting our taxes and giving us minimal to no services, including a basic drivable road, is illegal, unethical and immoral.” The three-kilometre road that circles McIvor Lake is paved for the first 500 metres off Highway 28 (Gold River Highway) then gravel the rest of the way. The road is used by local residents, BC Hydro and the Campbell River Ski Club. Tabarsi said in the winter the road is in especially bad condition and has described the road as looking like the “surface of the moon” because there are so many deep potholes. He said it’s so bad that he’s often driving on the wrong side of the

road to avoid hitting the craters. In the summer the potholes aren’t as bad but dust is constantly kicked up. “McIvor Lake Road is usually in extremely poor driving condition to the extend that it cannot be tolerated any longer by the residents,” wrote the residents in a letter to council in August. “Although we do understand the city’s economical difficulties, we do however believe that there is a minimum responsibility that should be fulfilled by any city such as Campbell River and this residential road access is one of them.” The residents’ November letter demanding action from the city was on council’s agenda for Tuesday night’s meeting after the Mirror went to press.

Council rejects safety signs
Business owners battle trees, city KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Coun. Larry S a m s o n’s e f f o r t s to improve safety for pedestrians on Springbok Road has been shot down by council. Samson put a motion on the table at the Nov. 6 council meeting to install a traffic sign in the 1050 block of Springbok near the Beaver Lodge Lands catwalk to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the street to access the connector path. “There are signs used throughout Canada and the U.S. that shows there are pedestrians in the area,” Samson told council. “While it is not designated as a crosswalk, it does catch drivers’ attention that there are pedestrians in the
area.” Samson said the signs would cost between $200-$250 to install and don’t require any lighting or other fancy equipment. But Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said the signs, which serve as a warning to drivers that pedestrians may be nearby, would be unrecognizable because they’re not used in Campbell River and wouldn’t match existing road signs in the community. “That is an option but our recommendation would be to not proceed as it’s an abnormal sign for the city and pedestrian activity is low,” Neufeld said. A traffic count conducted by the city, and requested by coun-
2X4 Happy 60th Anniversary 2X4
cil through a motion tabled by Samson, revealed the number of pedestrians in the area does not meet the threshold to warrant a crosswalk. Pedestrian counts show foot traffic has a 45-minute window where it’s safe to cross the street during the peak morning hour (8-9 a.m.) and there are more than 250 crossing opportunities within the hour. During the peak evening hour (4-5 p.m.) pedestrians have 46 minutes when it’s clear of traffic and again, more than 250 crossing opportunities. The B.C. crossing control manual for communities of similar size to Campbell River, sets out criteria that stipulates a cross walk would be justified if there were a
minimum of 15 pedestrian crossings each hour and a minimum of 120 crossing opportunities per hour. The city’s pedestrian count took place over the course of one week in September after Samson began advocating for a crosswalk in the area. At a council meeting in late July, Samson had asked city staff to report back to council on the need for a crosswalk to connect the sidewalk, which runs down the east side of the street, with the Beaver Lodge Lands bike path connector. Samson was concerned after seeing kids running out onto the street to access the path, which comes out onto Springbok at the bottom of a steep, winding hill.

A pair of Shoppers Row business owners say they are continually dealing with flooding in their building because of tree roots the city refuses to remove. Tricia Murphy and Michael Murphy say roots have been growing under their building in the 900 block of Shoppers Row for a number of years and are causing headaches for their tenants. “They have grown and extended under our building, pushed the grout out of our sewer line connections thus getting into our sewer line and causing blockages which lead to flooding our
tenant’s spaces,” said the Murphys in a letter to the city. “This is unacceptable.” In the past, city crews would snake the line to get the water flowing in the event of a backup, but only after the flood occurred. The Murphys later hired an outside company to snake the lines on a regular basis to prevent flooding and the city would pay for the service. But the Murphys said that all changed recently after the city decided it was no longer its responsibility to deal with the problem. “We then received notice that they would no longer do this as it’s our pipes that are the problem, not the city’s trees, according
to them,” the Murphys said. “We disagree with this assertion and ask that the city do something to remove their trees’ roots from under our building before serious damage occurs. The current situation is intolerable and completely unfair to us and our very patient tenants.” The Murphys are confident the problem is the trees. They’ve owned the building for 20 years and said they had no problems with the pipe lines until the existing trees were established. The Murphys letter was on the agenda for Tuesday’s council meeting after the Mirror went to press.

Managing generosity at the food bank BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The new manager of the Campbell River Food Bank, Debbie Willis, says her biggest challenge is “managing the generosity of the community.” And, that generosity reaches a fever pitch in the weeks ahead of Christmas ... that time of year when need is felt most acutely and the spirit of sharing seems boundless. Fortunately, individuals and businesses in Campbell River have adopted the food bank as the city’s cause celebre. Willis says a lot of the time the community’s largesse comes out of the blue. “This past week there have been four or five events where we received food or cash. A group of teens from Timberline Secondary came in with about $300 worth of food items and cash. We have a man who just comes in and brings us soup and says he’s going to do a drive in his neighbour-
hood. They don’t even tell us in advance.” For mer Campbell River mayor Lynn Nash, president of the Food Bank Society, says the operation has the dubious reputation of being one of the best small business operations in the city. “I am so happy this has become the charity of choice in the city ... I hate begging,” he says. The food bank is a million dollar a year operation with 30 volunteers and a client base that is as high as 1,800 people a month. Individual support comes from lower and middle income individuals, Nash says. Of course, the heavy lifting still comes from the corporate community like the grocery stores that deliver dozens of pallets of food and other regular contributors like Marine H a r ve s t , Q u i n s a m Coal and Mount Washington. Assistant manager George Gunville, a retired public servant, says the logistics of

We just don’t judge.” Last December the measure of the community’s generosity was three 53-foot trailers filled to brimming with food in less than three weeks. The VanK a m F r e i g h t w ay s trailers will be at Save-On-Foods again this December and the River radio station will be helping promote the drive as usual. Willis says the items most needed include: peanut butter, cereal, juice boxes, canned fruit, Kraft Dinner, rice and lunch snacks. “Don’t forget coffee,” Gunville adds.

Duncan’s pro-China prose gets a failing grade BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
An attempt by Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan to sell his government’s pending trade deal with China has raised the hackles of the Campbell River Chapter of the Council of Canadians. Duncan’s “statement” to constituents – crafted for him in Ottawa – claims the Canada-
China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement is designed “to protect Canadian investors in China through stable, predictable rules and to protect them against discriminatory and arbitrary practices without diminishing Canadian governments’ ability to legislate for Canadian purposes.” But Council of Canadians spokesperson
Joanne Banks counters that the “treaty would allow Chinese companies to challenge democratic decisions made in Canada in arbitration processes that are not subject to the Canadian legal system.” She also charges that the lopsided ag reement will expose Canada to legal liabilities when the Chinese challenge government trade policies they don’t like.
The Duncan document emphasizes the benefits to Canada and its obligations on the Chinese not vice versa. “The main purpose of a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) is to ensure Canadian investors in a foreign jurisdiction greater protection against discriminatory and wholly arbitrary practices, provide adequate
and prompt compensation in the event of an expropriation and enhance predictability of the policy framework affecting investors and their investments in the foreign jurisdiction,” he states. Banks says this simply masks the fact that “there are huge issues in this deal, one of which is that all disputes are resolved under inter national

arbitration. This treaty would allow Chinese companies to challenge democratic decisions made in Canada in arbitration processes that are not subject to the Canadian legal system.” The agreement does not impair Canada’s ability to regulate and legislate in areas such as the environment, culture, safety, health and conservation, Duncan claims. “Under this treaty, Chinese investors in Canada must obey all of the laws and regulations of Canada.” The MP also says Canadians have been given lots of opportu-
The province-wide consultation and engagement process will gather input on elements of the government’s vision of connecting coastal communities in an affordable, efficient and sustainable manner, as well as considerations to address the immediate challenges facing the coastal ferry system.
How Input Will Be Used Input received through the consultation and engagement process will be considered, along with technical, financial and policy considerations, as the Ministry determines how to achieve $26 million in savings to 2016 and plans for the long-term sustainability of the coastal ferry network.

nity to review the deal. “Every single treaty is now tabled in the house for 21 days to give the opposition an opportunity to debate the treaty,” Duncan noted. T h a t ’s n o t g o o d enough, says Banks. “If this government was truly transparent and was serious about making a well-informed decision, then it needs to establish an independent commission to do an in-depth study and report publicly on the costs and benefits of FIPA to Canadians. So far Canadians have been limited to five weeks notice and little opportunity for scrutiny and debate.”

Marine Harvest continues wild salmon research BRIAN KIERAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
With B.C. aboriginal and environmental groups clambering for an end to salmon farming, one of the biggest players in the sector, Marine Harvest, is reminding the public that it has been quietly supporting wild salmon research for two years. “In 2010, Marine Harvest, the Pacific Salmon Foundation and Fisheries and Oceans Canada partnered to begin research into wild salmon health and migratory patterns in the Discovery Islands area,” says Clare Backman, Director of Sustainable Programs at Marine Harvest Canada (MHC). “We look forward to expanding on our past support to do further research into the baseline health of wild
salmon and the potential interactions with our salmon farms.” Earlier this month the Cohen Commission of Inquiry concluded a three year probe into the decline of Fraser River sockeye and Justice Bruce Cohen presented 75 recommendations to the federal gover nment. While global warming and fisheries management were highlighted in the report as the most serious concern to the future sustainably of the Fraser River sockeye, the recommendations also included a request for additional fish health data from government hatcheries and wild salmon mig rating through the Discovery Islands area. Commissioner Cohen said that wild sockeye could suffer “serious or irreversible harm” if exposed to disease
and that the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) needed to recognize the possible risk of disease transfer between wild and farm fish. He recommended that DFO undertake a decisive study of the risks to wild salmon from Discovery Islands fish farming operations. Cohen’s recommendations “are all about protecting wild salmon which is central to the work that we do each day on our farms,” Backman says. “We’re confident that our farms are not a risk to wild salmon and we support more research to confirm that.” However, the antifish farm lobby is in no mood to wait for research to be completed. It is demanding that the provincial government not renew leases for open-net
salmon farms on the coast. Aboriginals and environmentalists demonstrated outside Premier Christy Clark’s constituency office in Point Grey last week and delivered a petition with more than 11,000 signatures opposing the renewal of salmon farm leases. Molina Dawson of the Dzawada’enuxw First Nation from Kingcome Inlet says: “I know without a doubt that the cost to our wild salmon – and everything that relies on them – isn’t worth it. So, as long as the government and fish farm companies are actively endangering our fish they will not be getting any support from me.” BC Salmon Farmers Association Executive Director Mary Ellen Walling says: “There is no evidence that salmon far ms
are har ming wild salmon. Justice Cohen has asked for more research in one particular operating area and it’s a recommendation we’ve supported. Our farmers continue to operate in their responsible manner in the Discovery Islands, and around the coast. Our contribution to coastal and First Nations communities is important to all of our farm companies working along the B.C. coast. We plan to see that continue. As for

the tenures, our farmers have been operating there for many years and these are not new applications.” Walling also says the sector has about 14 protocol agreements with First Nations offering a “range of opportunities such as priority hiring, contract opportunities and revenue.” A 2011 report for the Aboriginal Aquaculture Association showed that annual output of f ar med salmon is about 77,000 tonnes of which 60,000

tonnes is produced in aboriginal territories under various agreements. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says the province continues to review the Cohen report and will provide a detailed response in the future. Currently, there are 27 aquaculture tenures in the Discovery Islands. Of those, seven are under review for tenure replacement and are operating under month-to-month tenancy agreements.

Once airborne these owls can easily be identified by their flight, they have slow loping wing beats that resemble a “tipsy moth”. Nomadic by nature, short eared owls are found on every continent in the world except Australia and the Antarctic; they have adapted to a variety of habitats including grasslands, prairies, marshlands, alpine and even the tundra. They are migratory by nature but only to the most southern areas of their territory, for local populations this would be as far south as northern Oregon. They are now listed as a species at risk as much of their territory has or is being changed from open

land, and urban expansion. Short eared owls have adapted to a variety of food but their favourite still remains the vole, which is a cross between a mouse and a mole. These owls share the same problem facing snowy owls as their favourite voles’ (snowy owls love lemmings); they have dramatic highs and lows in their populations known as irruptive years, this means that some years the rodent population crashes and the young owls are forced to travel fur ther afield in search of food. Other years, including this one, there is a bonanza with huge numbers of rodents which in turn stimulates the owls to produce more eggs and
successfully raise multiple young. Unique hunters, short eared owls do not perch in a tree instead preferring a fence post from which they swoop down and fly a few metres above the ground. When prey is spotted they hover and then drop down onto the startled animal. T heir nests are scraped out depressions on the ground lined with soft dried grasses and a few feathers. Short eared owls are also partial to preying on birds which they ambush whilst hidden on the ground amongst the grass, they have no qualms about chasing off crows.

CROSSWORD
The week of November 18-24, 2012
ARIES You have lots of imagination but you are also rather lacking in motivation. Instead of thinking about your great masterpiece all week, you’d do better to just create it! TAURUS You feel ill at ease when in the middle of a huge crowd. Try to be open to the experience, because you’ll meet lots of very interesting people. GEMINI You may let yourself be overcome by procrastination. However, your loved ones will help you to get your priorities back on track by making you laugh your heart out. CANCER A trip seems to be in the offing even though it appears to be an unrealistic project for the time being. You’ll succeed in building up a large client base at work, which will bring you lots of success.
VIRGO You could have a small problem with your computer, telephone, or even your car. This is probably what will motivate you to make a big purchase and to get your affairs in order. LIBRA It’s time to clear up a financial situation concerning family or work. You must also restore some balance in the different areas of your life. SCORPIO The emotional side of things takes up a lot of room this week. You will likely experience some beautiful, romantic moments. A colleague could even declare his or her love for you. SAGITTARIUS You need some time to rest in order to recuperate from a severe cold. If you’re single, you’re sure to receive several invitations to some unique outings. CAPRICORN You might have some difficulty getting in touch with certain people. Don’t be surprised if they turn up at your home unexpectedly. AQUARIUS Your social life is going to get very busy. Lots of people will want to see you and you will do enough visiting to make everyone happy. Enjoy being the centre of attention. PISCES You spend a lot of time shopping this week. You’ll be inspired to change your home’s décor. You could also be tempted to put up your Christmas tree early.

Singer Allison Crowe brings her Christmas benefit tour to Campbell River Nov. 29
Good tidings she brings In 2012, the excitement and fun of Allison Crowe’s Tidings continues 7 p.m, Nov. 29 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church (228 S Dogwood). Tidings stirs together C h r i s t m a s c a ro l s, and not-so-traditional songs, to reflect the multi-coloured emotions of the festive season and deck us in comfort and joy whatever life’s circumstances. Rockin’ Ron Nicolaye, the big-hearted impresario, once more organizes this holiday tradition - a Winter’s celebration of music that also brings some aid
to a pair of extremely dedicated groups: The Campbell River Hospice Society and Campbell River Food Bank. The Hospice Society provides a special, key, service - “compassionate support and companionship to individuals facing death, their families and friends and to those grieving a loss due to death.” The Campbell River Food Bank provides nourishment to those in need year-round, and, in this season the need is greatest. The Food Bank’s team of volunteers are working harder than ever.
Donation of non-perishable food items will be collected on concert night. Opening the Tidings musical program will be the voices of Zephyr from the Campbell River Children’s Choir. T he community-based CR Children’s Choir provides an opportunity for youth to experience the joy of music, learn about other cultures and work with internationally acclaimed musicians at home and abroad. Over the years, the choir has performed in venues across Canada, the

Art supports Cortes’ ‘Children’s Forest’ An art auction will be held on Saltspring Island Friday Nov. 23 to raise funds to purchase 600 acres on Cortes Island that has become known as “The Children’s Forest.” Money raised at The Artist’s Journey Art Auction will be used to publish Forest Alphabet, a book featuring the original artwork of 33 Cortes Island children. In turn, sales of Forest Alphabet will be used for promotion and fundraising towards purchase of the Children’s Forest. The initiative is being organized by the Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island Society which was set up recently to purchase Island Timberland holdings immediately adjacent to Carrington Bay Regional Park Reserve. Society spokesperson Christine Robinson says: “These forest lands will be held in trust for all the children of Cortes Island in perpetuity. These five parcels of land, totaling approximately 600 acres, are in the heartland of Cortes and are ecologically significant and contain provincially designated sensitive ecosystems. These for-

ests are also home to many rare plant communities and species that are listed on both the provincial and federal species at risk lists.” Robinson says the Ar tist’s Jour ney brought visiting artists to the Children’s Forest this summer where they were joined by local artists and created beautiful works of art inspired by the forest. Ann Mortifee will officially open the auction of these works at 3 p.m. Friday at Saltspring’s Artspring Center. The public is invited to afternoon tea in the gallery while viewing the artwork. Mortifee will speak at 7 p.m. on her venture
into the Trust for Sustainable Forestry and the children of Cortes will end the evening by announcing the auction winners at 9 p.m. Artists of all disciplines have contributed to the auction making for an exceptionally interesting and eclectic collection of work. Their contributions have been posted online at corteschildren’sforest. org. To place a sealed bid e-mail to slmense@ telus.net and put “Art Auction” in the subject line.

Man takes a flying leap off Mount Bute I
n August 2011, National Geographic sponsored an elite team of climbers and base jumpers on an expedition to Bute Inlet to make a film about climbing the 6,000-foot face of Mt. Bute and flying off the 9,200-foot summit in a wing suit. The film called “The Man Who Can Fly“ was aired on American TV back in March and was shown to the Canadian public for the first time on Quadra and Cortes
islands. Strathcona Wilderness Institute (SWI) will be showing the film on Nov. 30 at the Stan Hagen Theatre in Courtenay. SWI will be hosting the event as a fund-raiser to support their information and summer program work at the Strathcona Park Wilderness Centre at the entrance to Paradise Meadows in Strathcona Park. The Wilderness Institute is particularly pleased to have local mountaineer
and author Rob Wood give an introduction and pre-amble to the 47-minute film. Wood also happened to be part of this expedition and will answer questions at the end of the evening which begins at 7 p.m. A donation of $10 is suggested. Doors open at 6.45 pm. Although it is mainly about top ranking Yosemite climber, line walker and base jumper Dean Potter pushing the exceedingly precarious and breathtaking

the world will discover this place and climbers will come and line up to climb the big face on Mt Bute. It turned out that a keen young climber from Squamish, together with two buddies made a very fine first ascent of the whole face. When they heard through the grape vine that National Geographic and Dean Potter were looking for bigger and better faces to film climbing and wing suit base jumping, they suggested he come to Bute. As well as the four climbers, two of whom were also ’base jumpers’ , there were two directors, one of whom was also a cameraman, an extra cameraman, a rigger, a sound man, myself and Dean Potter’s girl friend and his dog. I was lucky enough to have been invited along as a local guide and story teller.”

Midget Tyees pick up two big wins on weekend The Royal LePAGE Midget Tyees resumed league play on the road this past weekend in Victoria with match ups against the Victoria Racquet Club Kings and the Juan De Fuca Grizzlies. After three close games already this season against the Kings, the Tyees were looking to prove to each other and themselves they had the wherewithal to finally beat them. “We had been preparing all week for the chance to get redemption at Racquet Club.
We introduced a couple new systems that the coaches thought would match up well against the Kings. Like the three other games we played against Racquet Club we knew it was going to be close, and it was going to be the team with one less mistake than the other that would take the victory,” Coach Robertson. It was the Kings that drew first blood going up 1-0 early in the second period but the Tyees quickly answered back on an
aggressive for check, the speed of Ryan Howich caused a Kings D -man to fumble the puck and in the net it went. That goal sparked the Tyees who continued to work hard drawing two penalties late in the second. The coaches loaded up the power play unit and the Tyees quickly scored twice, first Tyler Clark on a nice set up by John Kretzschmar and then Kretzschmar notching one putting the Tyees up 3-1. The Tyees had several chances to extend the
lead but solid net minding by the Kings goalie kept the score close. With four minutes left the home team drew to within one but that’s as close as they would get Tyees 3-2 win. Sunday was against a JDF team the Tyees had only played once early in the placement round. “With putting so much emphasis on the Saturday night game, the coaching staff was a little worried that the team would come out with not as much emotion on Sunday,’’ said
Robertson. But the coach’s concer ns were quickly put to rest early in the first as the Tyees connected with a pp goal and then again on the pp mid way thru the first giving the visitors a 2-0 lead. Late in the first the Tyees got into penalty trouble of their own going down two men but great penalty killing with strong d from call up Dion Thompson blocking a shot to keep a certain goal off the board.

Weighty challenge at BMO At the Bank of Montreal on Shoppers Row the scales are definitely tipping in favour of the Campbell River Food Bank. On Tuesday BMO Commercial Account Manager Philip Griffith stood on a set of bathroom scales, registered his weight at 250 pounds and issued a Food Bank challenge to his colleagues and customers: “Match my weight in food or build a tower of food two metres high to equal my height (with my cowboy hat on) by Dec. 1 and I will dye my hair pink.” Griffith says all the food gathered will be donated to the Food Bank. “I drove by the Food Bank the other day and saw a long line up of people. I felt I had to do something to help. The Food Bank is such a great community volunteer organization and it deserves all the help we can give,” he said.
