BC Hydro on flood watch AlistAir tAylor Campbell RiveR miRRoR
BC Hydro is delicately balancing water levels in the Campbell River and behind John Hart Dam in a tense effort to manage a ‘perfect storm’ of flood conditions. “We may likely need to further increase the discharge through the Elk Falls Canyon as we try to manage through these flood risk management conditions,” BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson said Tuesday morning. BC Hydro had spent Monday night keeping a nervous eye on the Campbell River watershed after a combination of heavy rain, winds and high tides hit Monday night and Tuesday morning. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake rose almost one metre in 24 hours from Monday to Tuesday. As the reservoir level increases, BC Hydro’s downstream operational flexibility diminishes, Watson said. Two waves of subtropical storms hit the Campbell River area this week bringing the wind and rain. Meanwhile, the flood watch continues. “This was a major rain event and the wet weather continues - this will be a multiple day event,” Watson said. BC Hydro increased the spill down Elk Falls Canyon to 180 m3/s on Monday night to provide a total Campbell River flow above the Quinsam River of 300 m3/s. In consideration of the uncontrolled Quinsam River and the high tide Tuesday morning, BC Hydro

backed off power generation from the John Hart Generating Station considerably during that sensitive period and just barely managed to keep the flows within the river bank. Since the weekend, BC Hydro had been spilling water down Elk Falls Canyon from the John Hart Dam and that looks to continue for at least the next nine days to balance high reservoir elevations and flood risk along the Campbell River.

Oyster River could exceed 20-year flood level According to Emergency Info BC, folks with property on the Oyster River should probably be filling their sandbags. “River levels on Vancouver Island and the Central Coast have risen substantially overnight (Dec. 8),” according to the alert issued at 10:45 a.m. on Dec. 9. “Flows on the Tsolum River and Oyster River are now above the 10 year flood level and are expected to continue to rise today (Dec. 9), potentially exceeding the 20-year flood level.” We will continue to monitor the situation and update this story at campbellrivermirror.com – Mike Davies/Campbell River Mirror
A Campbell River family is asking the community for help with astronomical medical expenses being racked up by one of their members who was hit by a vehicle in Mexico last Saturday. And as of Monday, Campbell Riverites answered the call to the tune of about $12,000. This is one of two stories of Campbell Riverites appealing to the community for help with costs incurred in Mexico. On page 3, a local family is struggling to deal with the legal costs of bringing a daughter back home. Ryan Hogue sustained eight broken ribs and damaged lungs, including one punctured lung and one swollen lung. He is also suffering kidney failure and underwent surgery Friday night. He was discovered laying in the middle of a road by some unknown passerby late Saturday night in Cancun. It’s believed he had been hit by a vehicle. “And down there, if they hit somebody, they just take off,” said his brother Shane Hogue. Fortunately, an anonymous Mexican citizen felt compassionate enough to call an ambulance which took him to the hospital where Ryan Continued on Pg. 3

clung to life. He is unable to remember anything about the accident. His mother and father Diane and Barry Scott joined their son in Mexico as did other family members who have the same blood type. They have provided the necessary blood transfusions but the medical care is racking up staggering charges. Already costs in the area of $17,000 for the doctors’ services have been racked up. To
get Ryan back to Canada will cost $47,000 in cash, Shane said. That’s after he’s been stabilized enough to travel such a distance. For now, the family is asking for help from the community with the expenses. It’s unclear whether Ryan is eligible for Canadian health care. Communication with Canadian and Mexican embassies is proving problematic. Ryan was living in Mexico and had applied for dual citizenship. He recently married in Mex-
ico and his wife is at the hospital with the family. Shane said it is a humbling experience to have to ask for help but this longtime Campbell River family are in need at this time. An account has been set up at RBC and if anyone is able to contribute you can call Shane at 1-778-773-5492 to arrange a donation to the account being provided by the bank with no charges.

Family fighting for return of daughter taken to Mexico ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A Campbell River woman is hopeful her granddaughter will be returned to Canada to live with her father. The fate of eight-yearold Sofii Doyle is in the hands of the Mexican appeal court which should be bringing a judgement down this week or next. Her grandmother Jan Wade and father Jeff Doyle have been travelling back and forth to Mexico working the Mexican legal system in an effort to have Sofii’s mother return her to her father who has legal custody. Soffi, who was born in Campbell River, was
taken to Mexico in September, 2013 for a visit by her mother Christina, a Mexican national who had separated from Jeff after the couple returned to Campbell River in order to give their daughter a quality education. The September, 2013 visit was the second such request Sofii’s mother had made, the first visit going off without a hitch. However, Sofii and Christina did not return as expected the second time. Jeff had agreed to the visit and put it in writing, stating that they were expected to return in three weeks. Written permission from separated parents is often advisable when taking children across

borders. However, Christina never brought Sofii back. What followed were months of spotty communication, the procurement of an official declaration from the B.C. Supreme Court that Jeff was Sofii’s legal guardian and the launch of legal proceedings in Mexico.
In September of this year Jeff was informed of a trial date set for Sept. 22 in Mexico City and he and Wade flew to down to attend. They saw Sofii from outside the courtyard making her way in with Christina and several friends. They immediately called out to Sofii but she appeared con-
fused and hesitant. “Hugs and kisses were shared with Sofii,” Jeff said. “We sat with her for a while and gave Sofii her birthday presents on the stairs of the court house.” Unfortunately, the judge did not show and a replacement had to be found. That meant the hearing was postponed
for a week. Jeff and his mother returned to Vancouver Island to get back to work. But Jeff went back to Mexico the next week and appeared in court on the 29th. The judge awarded Jeff two preliminary visits at a government run facility on Oct. 4 and 5 for three hours per day. Christina
arrived 40 minutes late. “Those precious hours with Sofii gave me an opportunity to feel whole again, alive again with hope and love and invigorated as a parent to be with my daughter laughing, playing, holding hands, talking for hours, running and Continued on Pg. 4

and holding hands, blowing bubbles and telling each other stories,” Jeff said. “The whole time (I was) holding back tears as the clock ticked away the hours as if they were minutes.” They went back to court to receive the decision of the judge on Oct. 7. It was made in Jeff ’s favour but the judge wanted to have Sofii remain in the same house and to keep her daily routine as close as possible for Sofii’s sake. Christina pleaded to the
court to not take Sofii away immediately and the judge gave in somewhat. The mother had 10 days in which to make an appeal and in the meantime, prevented Jeff from seeing his daughter and Mexican officials from checking up on her. Police were called and Christina’s testimony was also found to be fraudulent, Jeff said. More court proceedings followed, two of which the mother did not appear, even though Jeff flew all the way

mother Wade are appealing to the community for assistance. Even something as straightforward as taxi rides are costly. Mexico City is a huge city with almost as many people living there as live in Canada. It takes an hour and a half taxi ride just to get from Jeff ’s hotel to the court. A trust account for donations has been set up at the Campbell River CIBC under the name Help Bring Sofii Home. The transit number is 00140 and the account number is 88-51034 and the account can be accessed at any CIBC in Canada. Despite what Cana-
dians may have heard about the Mexican legal system, Jeff and his mother have nothing but praise for it. They have sided with the Canadian father, ruling in his favour and the authorities have made the effort to enforce court orders and investigate legal charges. Jeff ’s lawyer, Eddie Varon James Levy, was hired over the phone in Los Angeles three days before the first hearing and flew to Mexico City on the strength of a promise he would be paid. “He has worked tirelessly on our behalf,” Wade said.

Reframing the discussion about domestic violence
Contemporary Chinese & Western Cuisine
Wok All YouBst Can Eat Special This is the 4x3 “we hate steam table” buffet!
We all need to take responsibility in addressing this societal issue According to the Ending Violence Association of BC (EVA), based on numbers compiled from Statistics Canada, over half of women in this province have experienced physical or sexual violence since they turned 16 years of age. Every year there are over 60,000 physical or sexual assaults against women in B.C. That’s more than 1,100 per week. In 2006, 12 per cent of all prosecutions in B.C. courts were domestic violence cases, not including those returning to court on breaches of orders as a result of prosecution for domestic violence – that’s one in every eight cases seen by a judge – and only about a quarter of domestic abuse cases are reported. The overwhelming majority of these abuses and assaults are perpetrated by men. “This is not a women’s issue. This is a men’s issue,” says Gloria Jackson, Coordinator of Community Based Victim Services for the Campbell River Family Services Society. “Most men aren’t violent,” Jackson says. “We know that. It’s only a small proportion of men (who are). The other good men have to start standing up and saying to their buddies, their sons, their peers, ‘hey, that’s not okay,’ or ‘what you just said isn’t funny,’” when they see attitudes of sexism or denigration happening. One of the main issues in addressing this
societal problem, according to Jackson, is that we just don’t have a good understanding of what “violence” actually is. “Lots of people think about it as that woman with the black eye or the broken arm,” Jackson says. “The reality is that as much as I see that kind of abuse, some of the women that I really see damaged in my office are the ones who have been putting up with emotional abuse for years – the ones who have been called down and had somebody control them. That’s what violence is about.
“
THEY SAID IT: “We need to change it from a ‘him’ or ‘her’ issue to an ‘us’ or ‘we’ point of view.” – Allan Campbell, Manager, Mental Health & Addictions, KDC Health
“It’s about power and control.” Allan Campbell, Manager of the Mental Health and Addictions Program with KDC Health, and facilitator of various relationship violence groups, agrees with Jackson in regards to the power dynamic being the main driver in violent behaviour. “The core of this issue is that the perpetrator of violence is seeking to place themselves in a dominant role,” he says. Campbell understands the “it’s a men’s issue,” argument – considering that the overwhelming
majority of the perpetrators are men – but feels the argument should be framed differently. “We need to change it from a ‘him’ or ‘her’ issue to an ‘us’ or ‘we’ point of view,” Campbell says. “Relationships are interactions between people. They’re not a ‘one side or the other’ situation, so it’s not the responsibility of one side or the other to fix it.” He feels that, although we’re making progress on this issue as a society, the major shift won’t happen until we change the cultural attitude towards these relationship power dynamics. The foundation of violence lies not only in the aspect of one person pursuing dominance over another, he says, but in why that attitude exists in the first place. “As a society, we have these long-standing distorted beliefs and value systems,” Campbell says. These belief systems preserve a sense of entitlement by some – mainly men – and create a regularly-portrayed understanding that we can resolve issues by dominating other people. “ Thos e mess ages, however subtle they might be, are passed to our children,” he says. “We need to make a conscious effort to teach our kids the right things about respect and communication, and examine how these other damaging messages are perpetuated.” The one thing that is clear is that violence against women is not a women’s issue. It’s a societal issue and we all need to be a part of the solution.

Our View
British Columbia’s leaky roof The analogy is appropriate, but it needs to be taken a step further. In a year-end interview with Black Press’ Tom Fletcher, Premier Christie Clark tried to compare We say: Premier her government’s finances to that of any household. Repeating the words she and should take her finance minister spoke earlier in the her household week, the premier suggested a family that has rode through tough times using analogy further credit cards needs to put money on those cards when the finances improve. She was speaking of the government’s estimated $444 million surplus and her plan to put that money toward
B.C.’s debt. We agree that is a prudent strategy. It is irresponsible to ignore the debt. It’s almost criminal to burden future governments and future generations with such a financial millstone. However, we don’t believe the entire $400 million needs to go to paying down the debt. Let’s continue with the premier’s fictitious family. When times are tough and you are living off credit cards, many things around the house fall into disrepair. The plumbing, the electrical, perhaps the roof. Yes, you can get by for a while without these things being fixed. They can be put off until finances improve. But when the money situation gets better, it makes sense to not only put some cash down on the credit cards,
but fix the roof. A leaky and/or old roof is just going to cause more expensive problems down the road if it’s not upgraded. The B.C. government has a bunch of leaky roofs. It’s time to take a quarter, a third or even half of that $444 million to fix some of these problems around its house. When times were tougher, maybe it made sense to hike medical premiums and claw back child support payments from social assistance and disability recipients. However, we are seeing some of the results of these cuts, especially in regards to the ferry service. Sure, Premier Clark, pay down that credit card debt. But fix the roof first. – Black Press

Curb my enthusiasm I have recently been in touch with the city about an issue with what they refer to as roll over curbs, onto a sidewalk, along South Alder St. Roll over curbs were put in about 30 years ago. These curbs are part of the entrance to mine and many other driveways along Alder St. I have to climb these so called Roll Over Curbs to get into my driveway, the problem lies with the fact that I almost have to come to a stop to enter my driveway to climb this curb to avoid doing damage to my vehicles steering, which has almost caused a few rear enders. The city says that he cannot justify doing anything about it, but if I want to fix it myself, at my own cost, that would be fine. They want me to fix a blunder that the city created approximatley 30 years ago, when they extended Alder St. after all it does not take a rocket scientist to see that this is a dangerous situation, and extremely hard on the front end of vehicles. They city feels that it cannot justify fixing a problem that occurred 30 years ago and that it has not had any complaints about in the past. I just wonder how many people out there are concerned about this safety issue?

How do you solve a problem like Rivercorp?

So, Rivercorp and CEO Vic Goodman have agreed to go in different directions, as the banalities of corporate speak were put into play last week. Except they’re not going in different directions, in my mind. They’re both going out the door. Vic is just going first. It’s hard to see much appetite for feeding the city’s municipal development corporation many more tax dollars. It took a rough ride in last month’s municipal election campaign. Former mayor Walter Jakeway was never a fan of Rivercorp and newly-elected mayor Andy Adams sure didn’t sound like a Rivercorp booster in his inaugural address last week. “Economic development will need to be more focused, results oriented, and
accountable,” Adams said. “I look forward to sitting down with the Rivercorp board and collectively set a new direction.” So, what do we want Rivercorp to do? Create new business and jobs, right? Attract more investment to Campbell River. So, how do you do that? Hand out information. Network. Produce fancy brochures and dynamic websites. Well, Rivercorp has done all that. But, so far, nobody is happy with the results. It will be really interesting to see if dumping their CEO and then conducting an internal review can change anything about this organization. It may be saddled with an impossible task. As much as voters clamor for the city to do something about economic
development, it’s really not in the city’s hands. The market will determine if businesses locate here. The LNG plant proposal for Campbell River’s Elk Falls mill site came about because of the cheap industrial site and a speculative climate for LNG development in the province brought about by...the provincial government. In an article on Forbes’ website, a writer identified six ways for the American government to create economic growth: encourage innovative entrepreneurship, reform immigration, end the costly war on drugs, require the unemployed to volunteer, cut health costs and remove unnecessary and unclear laws. And that’s it. For the whole United States! It’s all pretty nebulous stuff
In light of that, what’s Rivercorp going to do? I’m thinking the only real things it can do is give tax breaks to compete with other cities but I suspect they probably constitute unfair trade practices. The only hope in the Forbes article is to encourage innovation. It’s hardly an economic development plan but it might lead to something. Down the road. Later on. Somewhere. Sometime. The only real income generating idea I’ve heard in a while is Coun. Charlie Cornfield’s community forest proposal. The city can generate business for itself by farming and harvesting trees. It’s good for the city and the taxpayers’ bottom line. It will generate more money than Rivercorp ever did. But it doesn’t create other businesses.

Mayor Andy Adams turned to the public in choosing his appointees to the new Strathcona Regional District Board. Adams announced at Tuesday’s inaugural council meeting that the appointments were decided by popularity. “For 2015, I’m recommending that the

New mayor will revive forestry task force, says industry has been neglected by council

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city’s forestry task force will be resurrected. Mayor Andy Adams announced in his inaugural address last week that Campbell River needs to seize the opportunities that are here now and one of the most obvious is forestry. “We are the centre for the coastal forest indus-
try,” Adams said. “We have neglected this sector for the past three years and it is my intention to work to revive this industry in Campbell River.” Adams chose Coun. Charlie Cornfield to head up a forestry task force that will pick up where the former Future of Forestry Task Force left off. After Cornfield was elected mayor in 2008 he
appointed former councillor Ziggy Stewart to a newly created Future of Forestry Task Force which was designed to rejuvenate the industry and attract forestry businesses and jobs to the community. It also recommended the city’s Wood First policy, which dictates that newly built municipal buildings must use wood as the primary construc-

He said the task force is expected “to work with the Truck Loggers Association, TimberWest, Western Forest Products, Interfor and

Hydro warns of flooding in the event of a major earthquake
Downtown Campbell River and Campbellton will be under a lot of water in the event of a major earthquake. BC Hydro says that flood water from a dam breach caused by a major earthquake could arrive within 30 minutes to an hour and flood large areas of Campbell River – some areas near the river up to 11 metres deep. “Under normal conditions the three dams in the Campbell River system are in good shape and well managed for public safety and flood control,” says BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson. “We also need to plan for a worst-case scenario where a major earthquake could damage our dam system and release water downstream. The good news is that BC Hydro has a plan over the next 20 years plus to bring the John Hart and Strathcona dams up to

The brochures are also posted on the BC Hydro, city and Strathcona Regional District’s websites, and paper copies are available at City Hall, recreational facilities, the Strathcona Regional District office at 301-990 Cedar Street and Strathcona Gardens. Frequently asked questions are also answered on the city and Strathcona Regional District websites. Information sessions The letter includes i n for mat i on ab out public education workshops, hosted by the city, set for Dec. 11 and 15. Two separate sessions will run on Dec. 11 (one at 2 p.m. and one at 6:30 p.m.) at the Tidemark Theatre. Seating is limited to 400 people per session and will be filled on a first-come basis.
A third session at the Tidemark will run on Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. Presentations by BC Hydro and members of the community emergency preparedness team will provide information on how to prepare for this risk. The sessions will last about two hours, with the first hour being about presentations and information, and the second hour providing for questions and answers from various experts on a panel. The expert panel will feature representatives from the city, regional district, BC Hydro and Emergency Management BC. The City of Campbell River and Strathcona Regional District’s Emergency Coordinator will then conclude the presentation session with a talk about emergency planning and developing response plans in the event of a
major earthquake. “To be really clear, we are only talking about a major earthquake that could damage our dams,” Watson emphasizes. “This is the kind of earthquake that causes considerable damage to ordinary buildings, including partial collapse. This isn’t about a moderate earthquake but a major one with longer and stronger ground movement, with its epicentre near Campbell River.” Dams could pose a threat Watson says it is unlikely that one of the dams would fail immediately following a major earthquake. Yet we need to plan for the worst case scenario. “BC Hydro’s immediate plan in the event of a major earthquake is to conduct an emergency reservoir drawdown,

which would send more water downstream and potentially cause some flooding along the immediate river area,” Watson adds. “Our information and followup modelling of the Campbell River system dams have found that the downstream risks are significant should a major earthquake hit the area before our dam safety seismic upgrades are completed,” Watson adds. “People also need to know that there is a plan, a good plan, to upgrade those dams to a 1-in-10,000 year major earthquake level.” Be prepared While the focus for this public information campaign is on what to do in the event of a major earthquake, people in Campbell River also need to remember that a series of major storms could also flood similar areas of the city. “A major earthquake or a major flood event should be part of people’s personal or business emergency preparedness plan if you live or work within the evacuation area,” says Siemens. “We should all plan responsibly, so we can feel ready for the worst case scenario.” People are encouraged to attend one of the three workshops for more information.

NIC trades training in demand, more options in development Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
So, how are things at North Island College (NIC) these days? With the push by the government(s) to get more people into trades and heavy-industrybased careers due to shortages of trained workers in many fields, you may expect the local training facility to be bustling with activity. You’d be right. “Things are certainly busy,” said Patricia Rokosh, Dean of Trades. “In a lot of areas, our disciplines are 100 per cent full.” NIC, according to Rokosh, recently reviewed their programs and offerings and were given the opportunity to smooth out some issues that were clogging up the system. “We recently got additional funding from (the Ministry of Advanced Education), to put towards addressing wait lists in high-demand areas,” she said, and therefore had the opportunity to add sections and offerings to relieve some of those wait list pressures. “What we’re doing is looking at the demand coming in, seeing where we have capacity where we know the demand is – where we know that students will be able to get jobs,” by talking to industry and doing their
research, she said, and then looking at how they can go about getting the funds to open up further spaces to be able to train the people to fill those roles. It’s a matter of being able to show the demand to their funding partners she said, both in terms of “industry need” and “interest in training” – such as long wait lists for courses or programs in order to get the funding to add course sections. “My understanding is that we can have another round of those discussions in the next month or so,” she said, so they will hopefully be adding even more capacity for an upcoming entrance term. “We’re also, through our Continuing Education Department, looking at shorter-term certificate kinds of programming,” she said, to help relieve some more of those pressures, and get people into some sort of training that will be of benefit to them, even if it’s not a full program. “These would be things like First Aid, Marine Operator, Drywall Training, Painter/Decorator Training, or Construction Craftworker Training, for example,” she said. These are short programs that will give students some extra skills to help get them into the workforce quickly, and, in some cases, may also
cut back on the amount of training needed to complete a full program if they choose to enter one somewhere down the road. Theoretically, getting one of these certifications to get into a job more quickly, would also then allow the student to get into a situation where their employer would indenture them and put them through school. That’s Rokoch’s hope, anyway. “Hopefully people
will be able to impress their employer and show them that they’re bright, and they’re willing, and they’ve shown that they’re willing to invest in that company, and the employer will turn around and be willing to invest in them in return.” For more information about NIC’s programs and offerings, check out nic.bc.ca and watch future editions of the Mirror for upcoming features about what’s happening at the college.

Tidemark Theatre to host the David Lindley experience Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word “eclectic.” Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad “Mr. Dave’s” uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show. And that show will appear in the Tidemark Theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 6 Lindley grew up in southern California,
first taking up the banjo as a teenager, and subsequently winning the annual Topanga Canyon banjo and fiddle contest five times. Between 1967 and 1971 Lindley founded and led what must now be seen as the first world music rock band, the Kaleidoscope. In 1971, Mr. Dave joined forces with Jackson Browne, serving as Jackson’s most significant musical coconspirator until 1981. In 1979, Lindley had begun working with old friend Ry Cooder on Bop Till you Drop and The Long Riders sound track, a musical collaboration that lasts to this day, and has spawned many recording projects and several world tours as an acoustic duo. In 1981, Lindley created his own remarkable band El Rayo-X, which integrated American roots music and world beat with a heavy reggae influence. Throughout this long and distinguished career, Lindley has been one of Hollywood’s most indemand session musicians, lending his skills to the recorded works of
Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby and Nash, War ren Zevon, and others. At his expansive and eclectic live performances David Lindley consistently gives one of the most unique concert experiences available to adventuresome music listeners. Lindley’s show at the Tidemark Theatre on Jan. 6 is a presentation of the Tidemark Theatre and Vancouver Island MusicFest. Tickets are $32 plus taxes and fees and can be purchased at the Box Office from Tuesday – Saturday between 12 and 4 p.m. Tickets are also available online from www.islandmusicfest. com and www.tidemarktheatre.com .

Registered Physiotherapist Female skiers are particularly vulnerable to ACL injuries compared to their male counterparts due to different quads-to-hamstring strength ratio and landing mechanics. Two good pre-season exercises for skiers are: body-weight squats from 30-80º of knee flexion and walking backwards while maintaining a skiers crouch.

Because many people don’t know how to express themselves when they feel pressure, they resort to Frances Ferguson, M.Ed. blaming and yelling. Many couples Registered Clinical Counsellor tend to fight over the same things repeatedly, without resolution. However, it is possible to learn how to disagree and even fight in a productive manner.

Campbell River’s new mayor says he will be asking city council to support the work of the aquaculture industry. Adams said at last week’s inaugural council meeting that he wants the city to get behind the industry. “We’re the centre for the aquaculture industry in British Columbia,” Adams said. “I will ask council to support executive director Jeremy Dunn and the BC Salmon Farmers’ Association and other aquaculture industries.”

Canada Pension Plan disability payments are typically “carved out” of virtually every disability benefit paid in Canada. PWD Garatin (Persons With Disabilities) Peter Garat BC, most group plans, and even Certified Financial Planner some individual plans, will deduct your CPP payment dollar for dollar. Plus, where your group disability may be tax free, the CPP disability payment is not. So you end up netting less each month if you opt to take the CPP benefit. If you are disabled, and are trying to make sense of your options, it is always advisable to speak to a financial advisor who has expertise in this area. Call our office if you would like more information on disability earnings.

What is “Phishing” “Phishing” really does mean “fishing”, except with emails as bait, fear as a hook, and you as the unsuspecting catch. An e-mail, or a window pops up from what appears to be a government agency, an internet service provider, or a valid bank or credit card company. You’ll be asked to “verify” or Don Andrews & Dave Shook “update” your information (name, password, account numbers) on the company’s web site. The e-mail may even say that the company has suspected some fraudulent activity on your account, and it needs to verify that you are whom you claim to be…they are fishing for your personal information. If you click the link attached, or cut and paste into your browser, it will take you to what seems to be a professional web site where you’ll be asked to provide information, and if you do, it can cause you years of heartache and embarrassment. Your credit rating may be severely damaged, people may commit crimes in your name, or run up thousands of dollars on your credit cards.

There are ways to control disbursement of your estate to your heirs but all require complex planning. An insurance-licensed Garat Darlene Garat investments advisor has Financial Advisor products and tools at their disposal to allow them to construct a plan that suits your needs. Certain products will allow for a death benefit to be paid out over time to the beneficiary. Plus, many of these products cannot be contested in a court of law, so those payments stay payments, and not a lump sum that may be spent unwisely. A well constructed estate plan will ensure your assets go where you want them to, how you want them to, when you want them to.

Wrestlers hit the mats in season opener
Phoenix Middle School and Carihi Secondary School took a contingency of wrestlers to the Vancouver Island Novice Wrestling Tournament last weekend in Ducan. All came away with valuable experience, and several athletes earned outstanding results. About 150 athletes attended the Novice Tournament – the only tournament open
to beginners and that provides a chance for the wrestlers to practice their skills before the competitive events begin. From Phoenix, Grayson Lebeuf and Holten Ewing earned bronze; Ella Gallant, Carrie Mullett, Haley Wingert, Keely Elves and Hailey Richard walked away with silver and Bryn Girvin scored gold. For Carihi, Dylan Sparling
took the bronze, Rafael Ramonsinacio the silver and Josh Barr and Alex Santosohasai left it all on the mat and both came home with gold medals. At the end of the day, team results saw Phoenix girl’s finish second, Phoenix boys fourth, and Carihi boys fourth. The club’s top wrestlers will be travelling to Abbotsford this weekend for the first competition of the season.

We thought of you With love today. But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have are memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our hearts. You now walk the heavens, Hand in loving hand with your Sweetheart and soulmate , Papa.
We will remember you with warm thoughts, happy smiles and lots of laughter. We all cherished the short time we had with you.

Robert John Handyside Feb 22, 1950 – December 13, 2011 Forever Missed Always Remembered “Papa Bob”
We will forever miss your footsteps, as they settled on the floor. The camouflage fleece jackets that we know that you adored. A heart as big as Nootka, so generous and deep, The way your boat and tackle, were anything but neat. You loved, you lived, you learned, mistakes you made a few. But your life was lived by no-one; it was always lived by you. Your lust for life was echoed in everything you did, In every family moment, and in every business bid. Now, your lazy boy sits empty, the “nucks” don’t hear your calls, But we remember life beside you, standing firm and standing tall. A father, friend, and grandpa, the memory passed on. Forever in our hearts from darkest dusk, to morning dawn Written by: Cindy Handyside We’re missing you a little more each time we hear your name, We’ve cried so many tears, yet are heart’s broken just the same. We miss our times together, things in common we could share But nothing fills the emptiness now that you’re no longer here. We have so many precious memories to last our whole life through. Each of them reminders of how much we are missing you. Always in our thought, Forever in our hearts.
