Is this too close? Recreational boaters view and photograph a pod of killer whales heading south through Seymour Narrows in 2007. If you’re not at least 100 metres away from orcas you could face substantial penalties as a local man found out Wednesday when he was fined $7,500.

Steer clear of killer whales or face hefty fines Local boater fined $7,500 for 2010 incident in Discovery Passage PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Overly-zealous whale watchers who harass endangered orcas were given fair warning Wednesday after a Quadra Island man was fined $7,500.

Carl Eric Peterson, 52, agreed to pay the precedent-setting fine

after being convicted of disturbing marine mammals and harassing a threatened species – the first such conviction involving killer whales under Canada’s Species at Risk Act. “This is very important,” said federal prosecutor Larry Reynolds. “We’re trying to get the message out.”

The message is for all boaters to steer clear of killer whales and that’s exactly what Peterson did not do on Oct. 3, 2010.

“My mistake was what happened next,” Peterson wrote in a letter to the editor, which was part of his sentence. “I decided to turn around and follow the whales out to the west of them to get a picture for my friend. This is what I did.”

Peterson had set out in his boat from Gowlland Harbour, near Quadra Island, when he encountered at least two orcas approach-

ing him in Discovery Passage.

The encounter was also witnessed by federal fisheries officers Carlos Paramio and Greg Askey. During the trial, held exactly one year ago, Paramio testified the whales surfaced approximately 60 metres ahead of the boat and then Peterson accelerated towards them.

“As (Peterson) got closer to the whales, they dived and the boat slowed somewhat. The activity of the whales and the boat occurred at least four or five Continued on A3

Island whale watching firms lead by example PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Killer whales are an “iconic species,” says Roger McDonell of Stubbs Island Whale Watching.

People just love to see the magnificent black and white mammals travelling in pods, spyhopping and breaching. And that’s a big thrill for some viewers who eagerly try to get closer and closer to get better photos or video.

“People get so excited around the whales that they throw all the rules out the window,” says McDonell, a former Campbell River mayor.

“They continually ask, ‘can we get closer?’”

The short answer is “no” for the vast majority of conscientious whale companies on B.C.’s coast.

However, some boaters just can’t get close enough which violates federal guidelines and puts the operators at risk of being fined up to $100,000 for harassing a threatened species.

McDonell recalls filming whales from an adequate distance, just north of Campbell River, when a fishing

guide zoomed by and got up really close to the pod of orcas so the client could get better photos with his cell phone.

M c D o n e l l w a s n’ t impressed so he sent the guide his photos of the close encounter and informed the guide he was in violation of the guidelines.

It’s a situation Aaron Webber of Campbell River Whale Watching and Grizzly Bear Tours has seen over and over again.

“I don’t think people are out there to harass them and maybe they don’t know they’re harassing them,” he said. “But I’ve been doing tours for over 13 years and I’ve definitely seen a change for the better. We try to set an example for oth-

ers and maintain a safe distance away from whales. And what we see are boats lining up behind us. In the past they would drive right by to get closer.”

Close encounters can have tragic consequences for whales.

Remember “Luna” the young killer whale that became separated from its pod and remained in Nootka Sound from 1999-2006?

Orcas are highly social and with no family around, Luna became friendly with boaters who were all too eager to return the friendship. The whale became a sort of pet for boaters who tossed in floats for Luna to fetch and return.

Luna became so friendly that he posed a danger to small boaters and, in the end, it determined his fate as

well. In 2006, Luna died in the chop of a tugboat propellor.

“Some people just don’t realize what they’re doing,” says Webber.

Many whale watching companies also belong to the North Island Marine Stewardship Association.

They work together to create safe practices for viewing whales and to equate the public.

As part of his sentence, and in addition to the $7,500 fine, Carl Peterson wrote this public letter entitled “This could happen to you,” and submitted it to the Mirror: ROGER MCDONELL/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

A humpback whale surfaces near a recreational boater in Seymour Narrows. Whale watching guide Roger McDonell said anglers should be pulling up their downriggers around the big whales that can become entangled in the steel lines.

O

n October 3, 2010, I was exiting Gowlland Harbour on Quadra Island in my boat and I had turned south with the intention of proceeding to a boat ramp on Vancouver Island.

One thing operators do when they spot whales is to hang a “slow down” flag, similar to a diving flag, in order to warn other boaters.

Public education is important, notes McDonell, because whale numbers appear to be increasing in the Inside Passage which will likely lead to more close encounters.

N e a r Te l e g r a p h Cove, where Stubbs Island Whale Watching is based, approximately 40-60 humpback whales regularly feed in the waters, and three humpbacks were feeding just south of Campbell River this past fall.

In the not-too-distant past, there were very few, if any, humpback sitings in the Inside

As I proceeded south along Quadra Island, I was met by a group of whales swimming north, pushed along by a moderately strong ebb tide. I stopped and let the whales pass.

My mistake was what happened next.

I decided to turn around and follow the whales out to the west of them to get a picture for my friend. This is what I did.

Passage.

There’s also regular sitings of Pacific white-sided dolphins, grey and fin whales, the northern resident killer whale population has risen from 200 animals to just over 240, and there are more sitings of transient orcas which are feeding on the abundant yearround seal population.

“It’s a delicate process…and we understand the importance of giving (whales) space,” says McDonell.

“We want people to enjoy the experience and we want them to do it in a way that doesn’t cause harm.”

For more information about wh a l e w at ch i n g guidelines, visit www.wildwhales.org

As a result, I was charged and I had to go to court.

At the trial the judge found that I got too close to the whales – within 100 metres – and even though the whales showed no effects of having been disturbed or harassed, I was found guilty on the basis of expert witness Dr. Ford’s evidence that there was a strong probability that they were.

– Carl Peterson

Court: Whale watching guidelnes require a distance of 400 metres Continued from A1 times, the boat getting closer each time. On the last…the boat was 15 to 25 metres behind the whales,” wrote Judge Brian Saunderson, in his decision handed down last August in Campbell River provincial court.

According to whale watching guidelines, boaters are expect to remain at least 400 metres away from orcas, front or back, and 100 metres later-

ally.

When Peterson turned his boat around and left the whales, the fisheries officers followed, stopped him and later charged him.

At trial, the Crown h e av i ly re l i e d o n research provided by whale expert Dr. John Ford of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

In a document entitled “Impact statement regarding vessel disturbance of killer whales,” Dr. Ford

wrote: “There is substantial scientific evidence that close approaches to killer whales by vessels have the potential to disturb or disrupt the nor mal behaviour patterns of these animals…such disturbance can cause short-term disruption behaviours such as resting, feeding, socializing and mother/calf interactions such as nursing.”

In this case, Ford tes-

tified there was a “very high probability” the killer whales were disturbed and harassed.

He also said it was likely the whales were part of the northern resident orcas which are listed as “threatened” under the Species at Risk Act – southern resident killer whales are listed as “endangered.”

Reynolds added it is important for all boaters to understand the seriousness of the Act and the government’s commitment to enforce regulations.

Show us the money, city councillor advises flyfishers KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Coun. Andy Adams had a warning Tuesday night for a member of the Campbell River Flyfishers seeking approval from the province to reinstate the winter steelhead program at the Quinsam Hatchery.

Tom Craig made a presentation to council, outlining why and how the project would benefit the community but he was unable to provide a price tag for the program.

“There’s no question having a flourishing steelhead fishery in Campbell River would be a thing a lot of people would like to see,” said Adams, who was interested to know how much the project would cost. “Do you have any idea what the annual cost would be to do what you are proposing?”

Craig, who has already drafted a letter to Environment Minister Terry Lake, said he was under the impression that the money needed to feed the

fingerlings is already accounted for.

He said Mike Gage of the Campbell River Salmon Foundation is willing to put up $10,000, while the Steelhead Society is committed to paying $2,000.

Craig said other local businesses have also expressed interest in donating.

“I think Mike Gage of the Campbell River Salmon Foundation, he talked to it, and he seems to think the money would be there,” he said.

“I don’t know how

much money would be needed to do it, I haven’t gone into this in large extent.

“I don’t know how much money would be needed to do it. (I’m) doing each step one at a time.”

Adams said it would serve Craig well to look into the costs before approaching the province.

“If you’re going to be writing letters to the ministry you should know what the numbers are,” Adams said.

“It will go a long way further if you have

the i’s dotted and t’s crossed if you have that information.”

Craig, who has the support of Quinsam Hatchery manager Dave Ewart, wants to rejuvenate the Quinsam River which once boasted runs of more than 2,000 fish.

Estimates now put the runs at just 200.

The plan is to kick start the run by releasing fry for two complete reproductive cycles, which is about eight years, and then leave the river to revert to natural reproduction.

The fingerlings would be raised in the hatchery and then transported by helicopter to the upper Quinsam River.

Craig said the program would also help the local economy by attracting visitors to come and fish the Campbell River.

Mayor Walter Jakeway asked Craig why the government won’t allow the program.

Craig said members of the Steelhead Society have told him the gover nment is concerned with tamper-

ing.

“It’s from the past.

They feel in some ways it will damage the integrity of the stocks,” Craig said.

“But there isn’t much stocks there left...so we’re not going to do any more damage.”

Craig believes the winter steelhead project could be as successful as the Pinks for the Pier program in which salmon are raised to be set free into the Campbell River, which he said brings a lot of tourists and money into the community.

Accident: Passerby jumps into water-filled ditch to rescue two women, dogs Continued from A1 dogs out of the vehicle before emergency crews arrived,” MacArthur said. “Last I saw him, he was being attended to by paramedics for some minor injuries he received but I can tell you he was soaked from head to toe from that freezing water. I am afraid to think of the outcome had he not acted in the fashion he did.”

The man who took action was Eric Ben-

son, a local musician and mental health services worker. Benson was still feeling the emotional and physical effects of his action two days later; sore legs and concern for the two women still fresh on his mind.

“I hope they’re okay,” Benson said.

Not everybody on the scene was able to do what Benson did, although the first people on the scene called 911 on their cell

phones. MacArthur’s age left him too frail to do anything. Benson was coming home from work and saw a line of car tail lights down the hill from the Peterson Road intersection on Evergreen. One set of lights was in the ditch.

“When I saw the car was upside down, I pulled over and got out,” Benson said.

MacArthur said, “The man got out of his vehicle and asked me if the driver was

out and okay but I said I thought it had just happened and someone was still inside.

The man immediately jumped down into the ditch and it looked like it took him quite a bit of struggle to get the door open.”

There was about three feet of running water in the ditch and Benson could hear a woman screaming, “Get me out!” The door was wedged into the ground.

“I reefed on the door and it started to open,” Benson said.

Finally, the door was opened and the woman was helped out. Benson asked if there was anybody else in the vehicle and she said, “No, my dog’s in there.”

So Benson looked in and saw a little white dog, which he removed and handed to a person on the bank.

“The driver tells me

there’s another dog in the car and I think ‘Oh crap!’ Back in the car.”

Back inside he spots the other dog and – surprise – another woman, hanging upside, belted in the seat. He asks her if she’s alright, realizing at the same time that his arms are around a baby seat. He starts feeling around in the water all the while hoping he does not come across the body of an infant.

“I started yelling ‘Is there a baby in here?’

She says ‘no.’”

Benson helped the passenger out and handed her to paramedics who had arrived.

With the occupants out, Benson took stock of himself: a couple of cuts, soaking wet.

“That was when I

noticed how cold I was,” he said.

With the situation in hand, Benson headed home.

C a m p b e l l R ive r RCMP were called to the accident around 7:30 p.m. by which time the occupants were out of the vehicle.

The driver was taken to the Campbell River RCMP detachment while the passenger was taken to hospital with a possible broken hand.

The resulting police investigation revealed that the driver was impaired with blood alcohol results almost three times the legal limit, said Sgt. Terry Deley.

Question: What can be done for crooked front teeth?

Answer: There are several ways to address

crooked front teeth, but it depends on the degree of crowding. Severe crowding is often best treated with orthodontics (braces) to straighten the teeth.

Moderate to mild crowding can also be treated with Invisalign, which utilizes clear trays that are custom made and move teeth gradually and gently. This can Dr. Joseph Schafermeyer be done at your family dental office.

Another way to change the appearance of teeth is with composites. These are tooth-coloured resin fillings that are bonded to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or colour of teeth. They usually last several years, depend on how much bonding was done and oral/biting habits.

Other options include porcelain veneers and crowns. These are thin layers of porcelain that are placed and bonded to prepared teeth. They can be used in situations where one wishes to change the shape, colour, or overall appearance of his or her teeth. They are very lifelike and can last for many years with proper care.

In order to find out which treatment would work best for you, please speak to your dentist, or call us for an exam or free Invisilign consultation.

Public hearing goes to the dogs Mayor Jakeway pushes for free Wi-Fi KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River may soon have free Wi-Fi hot spots all over the city.

Council this week directed city staff to prepare a report with details on providing Wi-Fi coverage to the Campbellton and Willow Point business areas, as well as the downtown core.

The idea, brought forth by Mayor Walter Jakeway, was inspired from a fellow Vancouver Island municipality.

“I noticed this Christmas while I was driving through the City of Langford that as you enter the town, in the downtown core section, there’s signs telling you how to get on to their Wi-Fi system,” Jakeway said.

“It’s an open access system. It just seems

like exactly the right thing with so many people having digital devices that are mobile. I just thought it was a great idea.”

CRTV also thought it was a great idea, as Jakeway said the former local cable company had looked into free community hot spots before it was sold to Shaw.

Coun. Andy Adams was also impressed with the idea of free city Wi-Fi. “I was pleased to see you brought this up, Your Worship,” Adams said at Tuesday’s council meeting.

“I had approached the IMIT department several years ago to do this in the downtown core. I think this isn’t onerous for staff to do and they should be able to put a preliminary cost together quite easily.”

In Langford, which

has had free Wi-Fi downtown since 2008, the start-up infrastructure cost was $50,000.

Residents in that community are able to access the Internet on their mobile devices by scanning for the city’s network and once connected, reading and accepting terms and conditions on a disclaimer page.

The set up is similar to what is offered in Internet cafes and on BC Ferries.

Langford has four low-powered transmitters (routers) strung from street lights on the road to create its wireless network.

Jakeway said a similar Wi-Fi system would fit perfectly in Campbell River.

“It just fits with exactly what our town needs, and we need it in all three of our business communities I believe,” he said.

A professional dog trainer trying to start a doggy daycare asked council at a public hearing Tuesday night to change a proposed bylaw that she says would force the dogs to be cooped up inside.

Kimberly Dorrington approached the city months ago wanting to open a doggy daycare, but the city does not have the proper zonings to permit such a business.

City staff, following an approach taken by the City of Nanaimo, wrote up a new term – pet services – as an acceptable use in the Commercial Two (C-2), Commercial Four (C-4) and Industrial zones.

The problem for Dorrington is that although pet services is applied in the draft bylaw to each of the three zonings, the term “primarily enclosed” – which allows the dogs to be outside for up to three

hours – is only being added to the Industrial zoning.

Under C-2 and C-4, pet services must be “ wh o l l y e n c l o s e d ” which Dorrington said is unreasonable.

“We feel C-1 and C-2, to keep the dogs in the building and not even be allowed to let them go out to go to the bathroom is impossible,” she said.

Coun. Larry Samson, who was not in attendance at the public hearing, agreed with Dorrington at a council meeting Dec. 18 when staff first presented the pet services draft bylaw.

“Where do you take them when they have to use the bathroom, when you want to exercise the dogs?” Samson said.

“You’re in the middle of August and you’re expecting a business such as this to be wholly enclosed within a building? I think it’s unreasonable.”

staff came back with a definition of “wholly” which clarified that the term “wholly enclosed” refers to the principal activities within the building (i.e. daycare).

It does not prevent dogs from being taken or walked off the premises for exercise, or taken outside to relieve themselves, according to a city staff report.

Dorrington said she understands “wholly” does not prevent her from taking the dogs outside for a minute to go to the bathroom or to take them off the premise to walk them, but added there’s no flexibility.

“It certainly does mean that the dogs must remain inside and does not allow me a quantified period of time I am allowed to have the dogs outside making noise (as in the definition of ‘primarily’ allowing for three total hours),” Dorrington said.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, Dorrington asked council to recon-

sider the wording of the draft bylaw, which received first and second reading at the Dec. 18 council meeting.

“The one point I’m trying to make clear...is that I’m trying to strike ‘wholly’ from the definition,” she said.

“Yes this allows me to take dogs outside, but outside for what amount of time? It’s u n cl e a r. H o p e f u l ly council is able to strike ‘wholly’ and just leave ‘primarily.’”

C o u n c i l d e f e r re d the issue until the next council meeting, Jan. 22. Coun. Claire Moglove, who made the motion for deferral, said council has an unwritten policy to wait before proceeding to third reading and possible adoption.

“It gives council time for reflection after hearing the public’s views before making a decision,” she said.

“It is a common practice in municipal governments to have that delay.”

City to consult Area D on sewers KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council is moving forward with a plan to ask northern Area D residents whether they support having their property become part of the city to connect to sewer services despite the area director’s claims that Area D residents do not want to join the city.

“Council has endorsed a process that will invite people who live closest to the city’s southern boundary to tell us whether they’re interested in having the municipal boundary extended to include their property and to have those properties serviced with the city sewer system,” Mayor Walter Jakeway said in a news release.

After looking through a consultant’s report outlining the steps required to extend its souther n boundary, council chose to pursue its offer.

“Our first step would be to explain the city’s rationale for a boundary extension and related sewer service

initiative to the Strathcona Regional District, the regional director, Area D residents and city taxpayers,” Jakeway said. “Then, we’d begin community-wide consultation. We anticipate that residents in both the City and Area D will have a number of questions about the proposal, and we are committed to a public consultation process later this year. We are now in the process of doing the fact finding around technical requirements and cost estimates to narrow down where it would be most costeffective to adjust the southern boundary and offer sewer service,” he adds.

The city’s proposal is to incorporate about 1,000 properties from the city boundary at Jubilee Parkway south to Henry Road. The proposal would allow 2,400 of the total 4,300 Area D population to hook up to the city’s sewer service and get off septic tanks, some of which are failing and causing health and environmental concerns.

Resident Mark Treacy

said last fall there is a “need for a sewer system. There is a study showing numerous septic failures allowing for human fecal matter to flow freely into roadside ditches, creeks and streams. The lawn surface on the residence adjacent to mine during summer months flows of this same waste.”

Despite that, Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, has said the city is acting too quickly and won’t find the support it’s looking for.

“I do not believe that the people of Area D are interested in being annexed into Campbell River or being governed by them in order to get those services,” Leigh said in October at a regional district meeting. “That’s something that the people of Area D should decide after a full and independent presentation of all the factors, and through referendums.”

Area D residents have already shown support for a sewer system through a referendum in 2006. Residents voted in favour of the Strathcona Regional District

borrowing up to $9,350 for the collection and disposal of sewage.

The city had put an offer on the table to extend its sewer service to Area D in October 2011 but Leigh said the offer was more than double what was approved in the referendum and the city pulled out of negotiations after the regional district turned its offer down.

In September, the city announced a solution – extend its southern city boundary to incorporate northern Area D properties that in turn would be entitled to city sewer services.

Now the city is following through, Jakeway said.

“We’ll provide information to city and Area D residents about service improvements and property tax changes to help people decide whether they support extending the city boundary and sewer service,” he said. “Feedback from both groups would make up part of a submission that we’d send to the province for approval.”

Reservoir levels continue to drop Don’t be fooled, the rainy weather on the coast and the heavy snow in the mountains doesn’t mean the reservoir levels are up.

BC Hydro began water conservation measures Wednesday due to dramatic declines in the reservoirs.

“Since the middle of December the water inflows into the Campbell River system have dropped considerably,” said Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson.

Reservoir levels are getting lower and corrective operations are now being undertaken

by BC Hydro to deal with the low water conditions that look to continue for at least another 10 days.

The relatively high snowpack last spring allowed BC Hydro to manage through the very dry July to September period. By the end of September, BC Hydro increased the water flows below John Hart and into the Campbell River to about 100 cubic metres per second (m3/s).

This was the minimum level of opera-

TR

tions for the time of year and BC Hydro held at that level until midDecember. Full generation allows for 125 m3/s and BC Hydro has yet to reach that level since spring 2012.

On Dec. 19, seeing the dry winter inflow conditions, BC Hydro began modest water conservation measures by reducing the Campbell River down to 80 m3/s. Given November to January are the primary flood risk management months for BC Hydro, the water abundance issues were being monitored but were not a concern as one large storm system could considerably change things.

Water inflows into the reservoirs have dropped off dramatically in recent weeks with total inflows forecasted to drop down to 17 m3/s by Sunday.

“For perspective, these are the kinds of water inflows we would normally see in early September at the end of a dry summer,” said Watson. On Wednesay, BC Hydro reduced the Campbell River flow

N · 16 Klm/Hour EAT ATIO R G RT SPO AN

down to 70 m3/s. BC Hydro has been working with government fisheries agencies as the river is fully covered at 79 m3/s. The river flow is now going below that level and will begin to expose river margins and some gravel bars.

Site assessments are being carried out today to determine any further flow reductions to conserve water, while minimizing impacts to fish. BC Hydro is running the John Hart generating station at about 50 per cent of capacity.

The Upper Campbell Reservoir is at 215.75 metres and is about 2.5 metres below the average level for this time of year. It will begin to drop at a significant rate with water releases below the dams being more than three times the inflows into the reservoirs. The area snow pack is above normal, and Vancouver Island has the highest snow pack in the province at 130 per cent of normal for this time of year.

The precipitation that has fallen since December has fallen as snow in the upper watershed.

Our View

Public input includes people The key to public hearings is obviously public input. With the Enbridge hearings in Victoria shutting out residents interested in attending the proceedings and Victoria MLA Murray Rankin being refused entry, We say: Victoria’s the government is not leaving us with the impression that public hearing was interest is welcome. not the way to The process of registering to speak is tried and true. However, engender trust relegating the great unwashed to a hotel kilometres away from where the hearings are taking place, allowing the public only to view the proceedings in a video feed from fixed cameras is not

open, transparent information gathering.

We all want the sessions to run smoothly without interruptions from noisy protesters. Ugly disruptions create an oppressive atmosphere, rather than one of courtesy and respect, which enables everyone to voice their opinion without feeling threatened. However, posting uniformed police outside the hearing room and forcing the public to view the hearings from a distance of more than two kilometres only alienates the people who it is trying to engage. Talks held across the country have been uneventful. The most threatening event so far has been a large community gathering which formed a welcoming committee of sorts for the panel at the

Bella Bella hearings. That situation delayed the process by one day. The Enbridge pipeline proposal is controversial. For some, registering their name in advance, standing in front of a panel of strangers, explaining their concerns or expressing their approval is comfortable and acceptable. For others, voicing their concerns in an old-fashioned, freespirited way with placards and songs is the way they want to express themselves. And for some of us, being able to see and hear the presentations for ourselves is how we become involved. Separating the people from the process is not the way to earn trust and make sure the public interest is served.

Letters

Six years have passed Last August Strathcona Regional District Director Brenda Leigh stated in a Campbell River Mirror interview and quoted in an Aug. 2 article that the public would be presented with up to date plans and costs for a re-evaluated Area D sewer project sometime last fall.

Six years have nearly passed and not a single plan has been presented to the public since the referendum to have sewer delivered to Area D. Leigh does not want a healthy environment, only to preserve her seat as director.

I myself have no objection to being annexed into city limits.

Property values would increase, economic opportunities would increase with the prospects of larger building envelops for residents by abandoning their septic systems, more housing development would occur, and the public services would be a welcome change to what is being offered today.

For so many people the two issues of environment and money are mutually exclusive.

Maybe people’s belief systems are such that they want to do the right thing as long as someone else carries the burden.

I think this is a faulty belief pattern and humans have a long history of doing the wrong thing and preventing healthy progress due to individual interests, it’s a shame that we are so complacent with our elected public leaders.

Donations make Christmas better for Second Chance clients ROBYN ELLSWORTH SECOND CHANCE RECOVERY HOUSE

“I didn’t cry this Christmas.”

The holiday season can be a very difficult time for many people, especially those who are addicted to alcohol and drugs.

But for those who spent Christmas at the Second Chance Recovery House, it was a very different, positive time for them.

“Usually I would sit around by myself, drinking and crying,” said David. (All names have been changed.) “But this year it really felt like Christmas should be. It felt homey, it felt like family.”

The community came through again this year by donating gifts,

food and time.

Throughout the weeks leading up to Christmas donations came pouring in, including many baked treats the men thoroughly enjoyed.

The clients are often underweight when they arrive at Second Chance because of their addictions, but thanks to the nutritious meals (and treats) they get in the house they often joke about how much weight they gain.

At the same time they get plenty of exercise by walking, and swimming and working out at Strathcona Gardens.

The Second Chance clients received their first gift during their afternoon group on Christ-

mas Eve (the men attend group twice daily) when Pastor Rick from Church of the Way brought them stockings and the newest edition of the Recovery-based Bible. They received another gift that evening, which included handmade Christmas cards from children at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church that said “I believe in you.”

“Those were really special,” said Scott.

Community volunteers Julina, Marlo, Frank, Lynn and Caroline arrived Christmas morning to prepare the turkey dinner, for which all the items were donated

by Superstore.

The men opened their gifts, which were wrapped by volun-

teers Anne and Dorothy.

They received handmade toques, scarves and slippers, toiletries, shirts, underwear, socks, towels and chocolate.

“It was overwhelming in a positive way, it was joyful,” said Oliver. “It’s nice to know the community supports us. They were very useful, thoughtful gifts, stuff to get us back on our feet.”

Special thanks goes to the above noted individuals, organizations and stores, as well as the Oldtimer’s Hockey Association, Shopper’s Drug Mart, Ken Bueckart, Debbie Ewart, the Catholic Women’s League, Penny Gilman, Campbell River Parks, Recreation and Culture

staff, Ministry of Social Development staff, Bev Van Os and the many others who continue to donate gifts and baked goods every year.

“I felt the community has empathy for us,” said David.

“When I was out drinking on the streets, I didn’t feel like I was part of the community, until I came here. If I hadn’t been here on Christmas day I would have been under a tree drinking somewhere.”

Other clients said they would have spent the day on the streets using or with family and drinking with them.

“We would watch the kids open presents and then drink for the Continued on A9

Christmas: Holidays can be a lonely time for clients

Grant-in-aid supports equipment and building improvements at the Tidemark

Continued from A1

Campbell River City Council has approved a one-time grant-in-aid to the Tidemark Theatre of $250,000 to support a fundraising drive for facility improvements.

“This grant demonstrates the community’s support for the Tidemark’s initiative to pull together $600,000 for equipment and building upgrades,” Mayor Walter Jakeway said in a press release. “The City’s contribution will help the Tidemark secure funds from other sources, all helping us make the most of this legacy community facility.”

Other funding commitments have been received from Island Coastal Sustainability Trust ($153,000) and Coast Sustainability Trust ($153,000). The funding recognizes the Tidemark Theatre upgrade as a strategic investment with longterm economic diversification potential. A strong arts environment generates economic

rest of the day,” said Oliver.

The holidays can be a lonely and difficult time for the clients, as the time of year is often associated with their own or their family’s drinking, partying, using, getting into verbal arguments and physical altercations and/or getting arrested.

Some of them have spent past Christmases in jail. But this year was very different for them, thanks to our very generous community.

“It was the best Christmas I had in long, long time,” said Scott. “Thank you, bless you. We all appreciate it, we’re very grateful.”

benefits in both the tourism and small business sectors of the local and regional economy and reduces economic reliance on resource industries without adversely affecting neighbouring communities. Examples of businesses that benefit from the Tidemark’s activities include: hotels, graphic design, marketing and print companies, radio stations and newspaper outlets.

“Each of these grants requires the Tidemark Theatre to have matching funds in place,” says Kim EmsleyLeik, Managing Director for the Tidemark Theatre. “With the grant-in-aid, we’ll be able to continue to move forward on our drive to catch up and keep up – and make sure the Tidemark can attract and host the type of entertainment that comparable facilities in other communities can offer.”

“The Tidemark Theatre Society is very pleased to receive

the grant-in-aid to revitalize our performing arts centre,” says Kin Fowler, president of the Tidemark Theatre Society.

“The City of Campbell River has recognized the generous community support of all the individuals and businesses who donated to the Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign and the importance of continuing to enrich the cultural life of our community.”

The Tidemark fundraising campaign supports upgrades including: ■ Replacement of the 65-yearold seats ■ Online ticketing ■ State-of-the-art stage lighting ■ In-house projection system The grant-in-aid will be funded through the City’s gaming reserve rather than general taxation. This reserve is replenished with approximately $600,000 every year.

– hysterical because she was run off the road by a logging truck this morning on her way to look after her elderly mother. This is not right nor should it be allowed. The truck had no pilot car and was on the wrong side of the road and speeding.

Janet is in her mid-40’s and still is an active and alert woman but what if it had been one of the seniors that lives up here or my mother who is also a senior who visits me regularly? Does there have to be a death or serious injury before you idiots pay attention to us and our concerns with this pole peeling plant up here?

successfully breed. He was a great loss to my educational program.

Last year also appeared to be an “irruptive year” for many wildlife species, especially birds.

This results in a “baby boom” when food is plentiful and more young are produced which in turn results in a population increase that forces the juveniles away from their normal territory to find their own food.

The climate changes

seem to be not only altering wildlife habitats, but the habits of these species. Birds seem especially vulnerable.

I spent time with family over the holidays in Furry Creek near Squamish and was delighted to have encountered a bird I had not seen before.

Although this birds name is the “common redpoll” it is far from common in this area.

Last year’s baby boom created an irruptive year for the little birds

Continued from A11 a camera and tried to capture one that was stationary standing or hanging upside down gleaning bark or seeds from the trees. I gave up trying to capture them on camera and switched to binoculars as an attempt to identify them. I knew they were finches from their beaks but not a common visitor.

Once home surrounded by bird books, I identified them as common redpolls, a non-native

species of southwestern British Columbia.

Normal habitat for these little birds is the northern latitudes in North America to Europe and Russia.

They winter in Alaska and northern B.C. and move into the high arctic to breed and raise their young.

The common redpolls are small birds, five inches long and weigh approximately 14 grams. Their coloration is very unique.

The males had red head caps with rosy

chests and a white belly with dark streaking on their wings.

The females also had a rosy cap, white bellies and heavily streaked wings. Both had a deeply notched tail with rounded tips to the feathers.

One wonders how such tiny birds can survive in such a harsh, unforgiving climate. Winter can last for up to six months, which means months of darkness and limited food.

Common redpolls

can survive in temperatures of -67 degrees Celsius. They have managed to adapt to their environment with some special anatomical features. They are equipped with a special “esophageal diverticulum� (or expandable throat pouch) that allows them to store food for consumption at a later date, unlike grey jays that hide the food in trees and other places.

Knocking seeds from the trees on to the ground, they gather

up the food then find a sheltered spot to hunker down from the storms eating some seed then, regurgitating others as needed.

Seeds include those from birch, larch, alders and pines and they supplement this with insects especially in the spring and summer. Another survival adaptation is the ability to fluff up their contour feathers trapping layers of warm air between their feathers to insulate their bodies.

They have also been known to burrow into the snow to escape the cold.

During extreme winter conditions some conifer trees do not produce cones and the birds and squirrels that rely on this food source have to forage outside their usual territory. I feel very fortunate to have seen these cool little birds as during my research into their habits, I found there is very little documentation about them.

Campbell River Living Local firefighters recognized with milestone medals KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Three local firefighters received special recognition at Tuesday night’s council meeting for their long-term service.

Council set aside a few minutes to honour firefighters Michael Dumont, Bruce Holbrook, and Steve Ostler who reached 20 and 30 year respective milestones in their careers.

“We have the privilege tonight of honouring three of our firefighters for exemplary service,” Mayor Walter Jakeway said.

The federal medals were presented to each member individually

by Campbell River Fire Chief Ian Baikie.

Baikie explained that the medals take into consideration each year spent in the field

anywhere in Canada.

Dumont, who received his 20-year pin, began his career in Langford before moving to the Oyster River Fire Department and then finally setting in Campbell River in 1995 as a career firefighter.

Holbrook, also a 20-year award recipient, started out in White Rock in 1992 and moved to the Campbell River Fire Department in 1995.

Ostler was the last to be recognized and was honoured for putting in 30 years of service.

Ostler joined the Campbell River volunteer department in 1982 and retired in December from the volunteer ranks.

“I am very grateful to present Steve with his 30-year medal,” Baikie said.

Local gardening and farming taking root Want to learn to grow your own food – or make money in Campbell River’s budding agricultural sector?

A new series of Lettuce Grow workshops at North Island College (NIC) starts with Farming for Profit on Saturday, Jan. 12. Local experts Gary Rolston (P.Ag) and Andrea Lawseth (M.Sc, P.Ag) will guide participants through planning and developing a farm business – from a small back-yard enterprise to berry farms, orchards, animal husbandry and more. Course information will include how to create a business plan for a farm, and provide key information about farm production and operations as well as marketing, financial planning and regulations.

“The success of the first Lettuce Grow series indicates that people in and around Campbell River are interested in getting back to our roots,” says Kira DeSorcy, lead instructor for the NIC School of Continuing Education and Training Lettuce Grow series. “We know the demand for local food is on the rise, and the profitability of local agriculture is ripe for the picking, so we’re designing this course to show people how to grow food for profit.”

Although ag riculture hasn’t been a dominant industry in Campbell River’s recent history, early settlers appreciated the area’s prime soil, and a census taker from May 1891 wrote of “splendid cultivated fields with high rail fences” farmed by First Nations people.

“There are also accounts of successful farming by early settlers, including Fred Nunns, who wrote about planting cabbage,

IN MEMORIAM

$2998William Thomas Harry Easton November 8, 1941-January 8,2013

It is with sadness that we let you know that Tom has lost his two year struggle with melanoma. He is survived by his wife of 45 years Carole; daughter Jen (Chris) Boubouras and granddaughters Stephanie and Catherine of Adelaide, Australia; brother Chuck (Sharon) Easton of Campbell River and nephew Rob Easton of Vancouver.

Tom was born in Ocean Falls and grew up in Nanaimo. After receiving his Chemical Engineering degree at UBC, he worked in paper-making, primarily in Powell River and Campbell River.

After retiring, he became an active volunteer with the Simms Creek Stewards, the City of Campbell River environmental committee, the Maritime Heritage Centre and ElderCollege.

After taking photos to illustrate stream restoration projects, he went on to develop a love for photography and spent many hours perfecting his skills and knowledge. He will be missed by his family and friends.

Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, and carers who looked after Tom. A gathering to remember Tom will be held at the Maritime Heritage Centre this Sunday January 13 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

Great day of skiing supports MS Are you a skier or snowboarder?

Do you know someone affected by multiple sclerosis?

If you answered yes, then you should be a part of Ski for MS on Sunday, Jan. 27 at Mount Washington Alpine Resort.

A fundraiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada – North Vancouver Island Chapter, Ski for MS is a great way to help people affected by MS in your community and earn a fun, inspiring and free day on the slopes.

Register online at http://mssoc.convio. net/NVISki or phone 1-877-339-0819 to register and receive your pledge package. Registered participants who raise the pledge minimum for their age group will receive a free alpine lift pass

for Jan. 27, lunch, a Ski for MS t-shirt or toque, entry to the Vertical Challenge – a fun endurance event – and the chance to win some great prizes donated from throughout the community.

After a great day on the mountain, join a quick wrap up ceremony at 3:30 p.m. to find out how much money was raised and maybe claim a great draw prize!

The pledge minimums are: ■ Adult (19 – 64) $150 ■ Student (19 – 64) $125 ■ Senior (65+) $125 ■ Youth (13 – 18) $100 ■ Child (7 – 12) $75 Many participants add to the fun by creating a team made up of friends, family, or co-workers. Show your team spirit by dressing up or distinguishing yourselves at Ski

for MS – there will be prizes for the top fundraising team and best team spirit! FYI – team members are not required to stay together for the day.

Funds raised at this event will be used to: (1) Provide local programs and services for people affected by MS on North Vancouver Island including information and referral, supportive counselling, self-help groups, financial assistance and education and (2) Provide funds for our Chapter’s annual research donation.

The goals of MS research are to find a cure for MS, protect the nervous system and repair damage caused by MS, and improve monitoring and management of the disease. In 2012, the local MS chapter provided $10,200 to

MS research thanks to fantastic community support at all of their fundraising events.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, debilitating disease of the central nervous system.

Symptoms can include vision problems, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of balance and coordination, tingling and numbness, cognitive problems and partial or complete paralysis.

Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world: an estimated 55,000 - 75,000 Canadians have MS. It is most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40 and affects three times as many women as men.

For more information about Ski for MS go to www.mssociety. ca/chapters/nor thvanisl or call 1-877-3390819.

A Cowherd in Paradise is the true story of Wong Guey Dang (1902–1983) and Jiang Tew Thloo (1911–2002).

Married for over half a century, the couple was forced to live apart for 25 years because of Canada’s

exclusionary immigration laws.

In China, Ah Thloo survived natural disasters, wars, and revolutions; while in Canada, Ah Dang overcame discrimination to become a successful Montreal restaurateur.

Set against the backdrop of China’s

turbulent march toward becoming an economic leader, this is a moving tale of one couple’s search for love, family, and forgiveness.

Join author May Q. Wong for a reading and talk from her new book A Cowherd in Paradise: From

China to Canada on Monday, Jan. 21 at 10:30 a.m. in the Campbell River Community Center’s upstairs lounge.

“Required reading for anyone who cares about citizenship and human rights.”

—Jan Wong, author of Red China Blues.

Later this month, Lee heads to Liberec, Czech Republic, for the World U23 Ski Championships. “I’m very excited to head to Liberec. This is my first time representing Canada – and the Strathcona Nordics! – overseas, and I know it will be a phenomenal experience,� says Lee. “My goal is enjoy the experience, learn lots, and ski as fast as I can!�

Lee’s home club is the Mt. Washingtonbased Strathcona Nordic Ski Club, where she trained and raced throughout her teen years. “It is fantastic that Andrea has made the national team,� said Dave Battison, Lee’s former coach. “I hope that this is the catalyst that takes her on to international success.�

The world championships are a week-long event with five races over nine days. Some of the best skiers in the world will be attending this event, the future World Cup and Olympic stars.

For the past two years, Lee has been training with the National Team Development Centre in Thunder Bay, Ontario,

perfection for bantam A Tyees A restful Christmas season benefited Campbell River’s bantam A Tyees which chalked up a perfect record at the Aldergrove hockey tournament last weekend.

Maybe it was the fact the No. 1 Autobody Tyees hadn’t played a game in a couple of weeks, or a carry-over of the holiday spirit, but the Tyees seemed to have a bit more spring in their steps and power in their strides as they took to the ice.

The first game on Jan. 4, was against a truly foreign opponent‌Seattle Thunderbirds. The Tyees showed the team from south of the border what forechecking pressure is all about as they kept the T-Birds hemmed into their own end for extended stretches of time.

The result of the sustained pressure was numerous scoring opportunities that the Tyees took advantage of as they skated to a 5-0 victory. Kyle Franceschini earned the shut-out and the Player of the Game (POG) was Dawson Frank.

Aldergrove Bruins were the next opponent on Friday and proved to be the best competition for the Tyees at the tourney. The game was fast-paced and physical, and the Tyees mostly kept their composure as they worked hard in front of Dominik Bellefleur.

The final score was 6-4 for Campbell River and POG was Will McLean.

In what can only be described as a heartwarming moment, one spectator made a comment after the game regarding how well the Tyees were playing, especially Maddy Devlin and Olivia Knowles.

She’s a long way from home, but she remains

close to her family and friends. “It feels so great to hear so many words of support and encouragement from people

from the club and ski community on the Island,� says Lee. “It’s extremely motivating to feel so much support even when I’m on

the other side of the county. Thank you!�

They wanted to bring their younger daughters to watch the Tyees next game so they could see that young women can compete with the young men.

Unfortunately, this didn’t happen as Devlin and Knowles had to leave the Tyees after the game to participate in female U-16 tryouts (both girls made the team, along with Lisa Lloyd Watch next week’s Mirror).

cost as defenceman Doug Campbell broke a bone in his right hand. He will be on the injured reserve list for the next four to six weeks.

The result of the

round-robin meant the Tyees played Surrey again in last Sunday’s semi-final. The Tyees started slowly, but were able to control the play when it mattered most and came out with a 6-3 victory to setup a rematch against Aldergrove in the final game.

POG was Dustin Kew. Franceschini got his second start of the day in the final game and helped back-stop the Tyees as they won the championship game 4-2. POG was Brendan Hoff.

Tyees’ captain Josh Coblenz led the tour-

nament scoring with eight goals and 13 assists followed by assistant captain Sage Lim with seven goals and six assists “All players contributed to the success of team this past weekend,” said head coach Vince Devlin.

The five-game sweep comes at the right time for the Tyees as it faces a tough schedule leading up to the playoffs.

Tonight, at 6:15 p.m., The No. 1 Autobody Bantam A Tyees host Nanaimo at Strathcona Gardens. The game is on rink #2.

One should look2X14 toward a new year with feelings of hope and anticipation, not the melancholy I feel grappling with a topic choice for this article. On average 76,000 people are injured and 320 are killed each year as they use our highways. That is absolutely not someCHEV thing to lookTYEE forward to in the coming year.

Can we as an individual road user make a difference? Perhaps we might ask another question, do we want to make a difference? Are we prepared to be a little less “me” centric and a little more co-operative with everyone that we share the highway with?

If you can’t make the connection between your potential to be injured or killed, maybe you can make a connection with your wallet. Remember that about 80% of what you pay ICBC for vehicle insurance each year is spent directly on claims. You might not hurt physically but you do pay a high price each year just to get your vehicle on the road.

You are the one in control: make a resolution to be a better driver this year.

Focus a little more on the group needs and a little less on individual needs.

Slow down, look twice, give the right of way, maintain a space cushion, don’t drive impaired or distracted, yes, all of the things that we hear about regularly but don’t always do. With resolve, you will make a difference!
